The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) needs reform.  CREW has had enormous difficulty securing information from the Bush administration.  We've had to file too many lawsuits to obtain information that should be publicly available.  With that in mind, CREW joined 100 other organizations supporting passage of the "Open Government Bill" as noted by the Cox News blog, Windows on Washington:

The proposed bill, sponsored by Sens. John Cornyn, R-Texas, and Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., would help “restore public faith in government and to advance the ideals of openness that our democracy embodies.”

The measure, known as the Open Government Bill, would reduce delays in releasing government records requested under FOIA by creating incentives for public officials to comply with the law.

The House approved a companion measure earlier this year. The Senate Judiciary Committee unanimously passed the bill in April, but it has yet to make it to the floor.
