Support the OPEN Government Act (SB 394)
Once again LibraryLaw Blog, in this instance Susan Nevelow Mart, is on top of pending legislation:
Senator John Cornyn, a Republican from Texas, and Senator Patrick Leahy, a Democrat from Vermont introduced Senate Bill 394 on February 16, 2005. The bill’s title says it all: Openness Promotes Effectiveness in our National Government Act of 2005 (OPEN Government Act). The act, according the senator Cornyn’s press release, “ is aimed at substantially enhancing and expanding the accessibility, accountability, and openness of the federal government…The legislation is supported by groups from across the political spectrum, from ACLU to the Heritage Foundation.”
