FOIA Vision
The Public has a right to information concerning the activities of its Government; however, the Government is equally committed to safeguarding national security, enhancing the effectivess of law enforcement agencies, protecting sensitive business information and, not least, preserving privacy.
The Freedom of Information Act Program (DODR 5400.7) allows the general public, including foreign citizens, military and civilian personnel acting as private citizens, to request records electronically or in writing from the Federal Government.
