THE FEDERAL INFORMATION MANUAL: How the Government Collects, Manages, and Discloses Information under FOIA and Other Statutes
By P. Stephen Gidiere III
“Disputes about access to federal information arise in numerous contexts, from corporate transactions and administrative rulemaking to Congressional subpoenas, civil litigation, and national security. The Federal Information Manual provides a comprehensive guide through the powerful Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) as well as the varied and often obscure statutes, cases, regulations, judicial decisions, executive orders, and policies that govern federal information.”
“In addition to explaining how to submit a successful FOIA request and providing checklists to use in preparing the request, this manual also examines:
The collection and management of information
Electronic records
Classified information
Litigation involving federal records
Reasons for the withholding of agency records
Homeland security
The trend toward more government secrecy
The Federal Information Manual is a convenient, one-stop resource that will help you successfully navigate through FOIA and the framework of statutes and regulations that control how the federal government keeps its records and responds to public information requests.”
