Hi all -
On Wednesday Jan. 16, the Collaboration on Government Secrecy at American
University/Washington College of Law will hold a program on the FOIA Amendments
that were just signed into law.
Everyone in the DC area is welcome. It's free and they'll be snacks. Feel
free to email me with any questions.

This program will be the first anywhere to address the 2007 Freedom of
Information Act Amendments, which were signed into law on December 31. It will
cover all of the amendments' provisions, including several that took effect
immediately upon enactment, with particular focus on their creation of the
Office of Government Information Services at the National Archives and Records
Administration. Speakers will include:

* Meredith Fuchs, General Counsel, National Security Archive
* Pete Weitzel, Freedom of Information Coordinator, the Coalition of
Journalists for Open Government
* Loren A. Cochran, FOIA Service Center Director for the Reporters Committee
for Freedom of the Press

Editors
The program will be conducted by WCL's new Collaboration on Government Secrecy,
the first academic center of its kind established at any law school in the
United States.
