Happy 51st Birthday to the Freedom of Information Act

An Act to amend section 3 of the Administrative Procedure Act, chapter 324, of the Act of June 11, 1946 (60 Stat. 238), to clarify and protect the right of the public to information, and for other purposes.

Fifty one years ago today Lyndon Johnson signed FOIA into law, letting us safeguard our freedoms.

So go ahead and celebrate America by making the government give up some of it’s secrets: FOIA machine makes it easy. After all, sunlight is the best disinfectant.
