Does the FOIA officer in the Office of Administration have "the easiest job in the world?"

Chris Joyner, who writes about First Amendment issues at the Clarion-Ledger, asks who has "the easiest job in the world?"   He also has an answer: 

Apparently, it's FOIA officer Carol Ehrlich in the White House's Office of Administration.

The Justice Department is claiming the office, which handles (surprise) administrative functions for the White House, is not covered by FOIA, despite the fact that it has a FOIA officer and has responded to FOIA requests in the past. In fact, an executive order has the office was under a FOIA improvement plan. No matter, Justice said. 

Noting that CREW's Melanie Sloan was "not impressed with Justice's claim,"  Mr. Joyner also has a suggestion for anyone who know Ms. Ehrlich:

Anyway, if you went to school with Carol and are looking to catch up, now is a good time to call. Turns out, her workload just got a lot lighter.
