• W117672571 abstract "Introduction In Schmerler v. FBI, D.C. Court of Appeals (April 1990): The FBI can withhold identities of sources indefinitely, even if they are dead or would suffer no invasion of privacy as a result of disclosure. In this instance, requester is an author working on a book about a 1931 murder of his aunt. The court ruling came 59 years after crime (Lowe, 1994). Four years later, Janet Reno (1994) stated her Speech to National Press Club: A few years ago a newspaper reporter toured FOIA processing shop at one Justice Department component and noted that there was a sign on wall that said, doubt, cross it out. The sign is down now.... Our challenge is much like one faced by a captain who must bring an aircraft career about.... You touch controls. You hear a lot of noise and grinding and gnashing of gears, but you don't see much movement I am determined to make my message heard. Liberating Freedom of Information Act (FOIA, pronounced foya) from bonds imposed during 12 years of Republican role is among many reforms professed by Clinton administration. A conservative legacy, these tethers on FOIA have drawn little media and public attention, because images of sheets of paper or computer tapes do not hold TV spotlight long, particularly when contrasted with powerful pictures of violence (the Oklahoma federal government building bombing) and visible poverty (homeless people sleeping on sidewalks). The FOIA remains almost unnoticed, except by frequent, and sometimes frustrated, requesters. With FOIA, President William Clinton has articulated a policy diametrically opposed to his two predecessors, and his Attorney General Janet Reno has been following through on his 1993 FOIA executive order. Yet realities of defending a regime power through manipulation of information have not escaped this new administration. The battle over access to and control of information for political purposes still rages, this time under a Democratic president. Despite its public pronouncements, Clinton White House has not avoided media ire for withholding documents. Perhaps conflict is unavoidable, for freedom of information, or the right to know, is an emotional issue, a symbol of best and worst aspects of democracy and capitalism. Regardless of how open a government might aspire to be, it can hardly avoid temptation to limit access to and release of information name of governing effectively. At one extreme, totalitarian governments do not even go through motions of openness. Yet even supposedly highly democratic countries, such as United Kingdom, practice as much or more government secrecy than does United States. Indeed, no modern state provides its citizens with total access to government information, and all engage some limitation to government documents. This article examines FOIA before and during Clinton administration. When he took office, Clinton inherited sprawling Executive Branch bureaucracy and a judiciary full of Reagan-Bush appointees who will interpret FOIA years to come. What did Clinton's New Covenant mean to FOIA? Will his presidency change its course? In Reno's speech quoted above, she correctly depicted huge government bureaucracy as being like an aircraft carrier, with new administration attempting to modify its course on FOIA decisions. Other commanders have a hold on helm: Congress and judiciary can set direction through rule-making and legal interpretation. Once power, Clinton sent mixed messages about FOIA to press and public. To extend ship metaphor, it appears that with FOIA White House, where Clinton commands bridge, is similar to a submarine, surfacing and then diving, depending on whether it is safe to be in sunshine or not. In a word, he is inconsistent. Clinton's FOIA activity is an illustration of illusory ideology, where political myth of participatory democracy confronts pragmatism of people with a handhold on power. …" @default.
