This is the week of the year when journalists and others highlight the citizens ability (or inability) to get at government records. The House is scheduled to vote this week on the Freedom of Information Act Amendments of 2007. The Senate Judiciary committee will be holding a hearing, "Open Government: Reinvigorating the Freedom of Information Act" this Wednesday.
