FOIA requests from the 80's still pending...

From Steven Aftergood's Secrecy News:

THE OLDEST FOIA REQUESTS

"The oldest Freedom of Information Act requests that are still
pending in the federal government date back to the late 1980s,
before the collapse of the Soviet Union," according to a new
study by the National Security Archive at George Washington
University.

The Archive is conducting a full-fledged audit of the way the
Freedom of Information Act functions, and fails to function,
throughout the government. It is demonstrating by example the
kind of penetrating oversight of the FOIA that Congress has
largely neglected.

The newest installment of the National Security Archive FOIA audit
is entitled "Justice Delayed is Justice Denied," by Tom Blanton,
Meredith Fuchs and Barbara Elias.
