"I am concerned that the growing trend toward relying upon FOIA exemptions to withhold large swaths of Government information is hindering the public's right to know."

"What message does the Justice Department's argument send to other agencies?"

"I expect that we will hear about some of the changes in technology that are taking place to make the FOIA process better."
