Government may add restrictions to FOIA

According to a July 5, 2006, article in USA Today:

The federal government will pay a Texas law school $1 million to do research aimed at rolling back the amount of sensitive data available to the press and public through freedom-of-information requests. (R. Willing, “Tax dollars to fund study on restricting public data,” available at www.usatoday.com.)

Depending on the results of the research, requesters may find less information available to them through the use of the Freedom of Information Act.
