In the second day of hearings on the Freedom of Information Act, committee members heard testimony about three pieces of legislation: H.R. 1281, S. 1090, and a draft bill about private medical records. The first, the War Crimes Disclosure Act, and the second, the Electronic Freedom of Information Act, would expand the Freedom of Information Act to cover formerly classified information on past war criminals and electronic data respectively. The third bill would protect private health records held by the federal government from disclosure. In this portion, witnesses testified about the need for easier release of information held by the federal government. close
