Kevin Brings the House Down

Posted on December 17, 2009 by FHH Law

On December 16 FHH’s Kevin Goldberg testified before the Subcommittee on Information Policy, Census, and the National Archive of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on the topic of “History Museum or Records Access Agency? Defining and Fulfilling the Mission of the National Archives and Records Administration”.

By all accounts – including Kevin's – the hearing went very well, with witnesses pressing the National Archives and Records Administration to do more to make government information available online and to process Freedom of Information Act requests in a more timely manner.

Kevin’s full written testimony – delivered on behalf of the Sunshine in Government Initiative and FHH client the American Society of News Editors – has now been posted to the Subcommittee's website. Check it out.
