Open Government Commission Proposed - Senators John Cornyn (R-TX) and Patrick Leahy (D-VT) this week introduced legislation that would create a commission to report recommendations for reducing delays in processing Freedom of Information Act requests. The Commission on Freedom of Information Act Processing Delays would be comprised of 16 members with at least four required to have experience submitting FOIA requests on behalf of nonprofit research, educational, or news media organizations.
