The Costs of Free Information.
Guida, Richard A.
Public Interest, v97 p87-95 Fall 1989
Although the goal of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) is to make government more open and accountable, a number of unintended effects have resulted. Amendments are proposed to prevent the use of the FOIA by criminals and foreign agents and to place the cost of administering the law on the user. (FMW)
