Abstract:
FOIA and, more recently, E-FOIA have provided the American public with the means to obtain valuable information from the federal government. The E-FOIA-mandated posting of USDA animal facility inspection reports on the internet, however, has met with opposition from the research community. The authors outline E-FOIA's shortcomings regarding this policy and present potential solutions to the problem.
