Testimony issued by the Government Accountability Office with an abstract that begins "The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) establishes that federal agencies must provide the public with access to government information, enabling them to learn about government operations and decisions. To help ensure proper implementation, the act requires that agencies annually report specific information about their FOIA operations, such as numbers of requests received and processed and other statistics. In work reported from 2001 to 2008, GAO examined the annual reports for major agencies, describing the status of reported implementation and any observable trends. GAO also reported on agency improvement plans developed in response to a 2005 Executive Order aimed at improving FOIA implementation, including reducing backlogs of overdue requests. GAO was asked to testify on its previous work on FOIA implementation, as well as on selected changes in the FOIA landscape resulting from legislation, policy, and guidance. To develop this testimony, GAO drew on its previous work, as well as publicly available information."

In New York Times Co. v. Tasini, six freelance authors who had contributed articles to several publications, including The New York Times, Newsday, and Time, sued when the publishers licensed rights to copy and sell the articles to electronic databases such as Lexis/Nexis. Shortly after the Court decided Tasini, three preexisting class action infringement suits, which had been suspended pending the decision, were activated and consolidated in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. A fourth, nearly identical action was coordinated with that consolidated action. Together, these claims comprise the litigation discussed in this report.

The National Museum of the Pacific War presents an oral interview with Max Schlotter. Schlotter joined the Navy in August 1941 and received basic training in San Diego. He attended service school in Toledo, Ohio. Upon completion, he went to the Brooklyn Navy Yard and converted a banana boat to an attack transport. The ship carried troops just north of Casablanca to Fedala as part of the North Africa invasion. Onboard, Schlotter served as the skipper’s messenger, running errands. He was then promoted to yeoman. He returned to the States and attended Emory University under the V-12 program. He then went to Miami for further training and was assigned to a submarine-chaser. He boarded CVE-1 carrying planes from Long Island to Mogmog. The CVE-1 went to Luzon, where Schlotter took an LSM to Subic Bay. There he boarded a sub-chaser as the executive officer.
