This series comprises materials collected by Siminoski relating to the implementation of the FOIA by federal law enforcement agencies, in particular the FBI. Publications and papers of the FBI account for almost half the materials, including photocopies, obtained by news reporter Carl Stern in 1981, of extensive portions of FBI Headquarters file 190-3, relating to the impact of FOIA and the Privacy Act on law enforcement activities. The materials also include reports by the General Accounting Office and the Congressional Research Service, a study by Senator Jim Sasser on Congressional oversight of the FOIA, and issues of the newsletters FOIA Update and FOIA Alert. The series also includes a folder of materials relating to the waiving of fees charged for photocopies of documents obtained under the FOIA; a FOIA files kit, with step-by-step instructions on how to obtain documents under the FOIA; a small number of manuscript notes by Siminoski; and a folder of press notices and other short publications relating to the general topic of government surveillance.
