EPIC Uses FOIA to Evaluate Bush�s First 100 Days

EPIC has sent a series of Freedom of Information Act requests to executive branch agencies to determine the Bush administration�s commitment to privacy issues. One group of requests focuses on scheduling calendars of senior agency officials to determine the frequency with which they met with lobbyists and other interests. The other group of requests seek transition team memoranda, documents that direct agencies on policy decisions when a new administration takes office.
