Chuck Grassley actually said...

"The lack of a response from so many agencies sends a disturbing message."

"Transparency is not negotiable, even in a Republican administration, as far as I am concerned."

"Open government and transparency are more than just pleasant-sounding words. They are essential to maintain our democratic form of Government."

"Our Government, for better or for worse, depending on your point of view, is doing more than ever, and FOIA has not caught up with it."
