"The Obama administration advised federal agencies Thursday to release their records and information to the public unless foreseeable harm would result.

Attorney General Eric Holder issued new guidelines fleshing out President Barack Obama's Jan. 21 order to reveal more government records to the public under the Freedom of Information Act, whenever another law doesn't prohibit release.

An attorney in several pending lawsuits, David Sobel, of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a digital rights advocate, was pleased by Holder's decision to review some existing cases and said it should open more records to public view.

"If there is really a new presumption in favor of disclosure, one would expect to see the outright reversal of many Bush-era decisions to withhold information."

“We are delighted,” remarked the Archive’s General Counsel, Meredith Fuchs. “The new Attorney General guidelines read as if there is a new show in town and for the first time in eight years everyone is welcome to come see it.”

With regard to the Department’s role defending government agencies in FOIA cases, Ms. Fuchs commented, “Not only do we think this should have an impact on several pending cases, including our own case seeking Justice Department memoranda authorizing warrantless surveillance of Americans..."
