FOIA, Inc. is a volunteer crew assisting people in their uphill struggle with The State, whether you’re looking for your own files, researching a book, or pressuring OSHA to release environmental records. If you’re not sure where to start, try the FBI first: they’re the all-purpose receptacle for subversion. If you’ve worked with the Sanctuary movement, add Customs, Treasury, and INS to your list. If you misbehaved overseas, try State and the CIA, though the latter is a reticent outfit. In general, I was alternately impressed by the depth of the agencies’ information and astonished by some of their blunders.
The Fund survives on your help. They’ll send you the necessary
forms for $2, but if you enclosed more, it would go towards a good cause. — Dick Fugett
