House Hearing on Public Access

June 11th, 2008 by John Wonderlich · No Comments

Today saw a House Committee on Homeland Security hearing on the “Improving Public Access to Documents Act of 2008.”

The committee site has testimony from, among others, Patrice McDermott of Openthegovernment.org, and Meredith Fuchs, of the National Security Archive, along with, fittingly enough, both streaming and live video from the hearing.

McDermott’s testimony starts off with a great quote from President Nixon, and is a great read, and the legislation being considered is available here: HR 6193.
