Dear Senator xxxxx,

First of all, I offer my congratulations on the passage of S. 2488, the Openness Promotes Effectiveness in our National Government Act of 2007.

This law will enhance the Freedom of Information Act by (among other things) holding agencies accountable for their lack of compliance with the Act.

The establishment of the Office of Government Information Services in the National Archives and Records Administration to review agency compliance with FOIA is a great step toward ensuring public access to government records.

Senator, although this law went into effect after my own FOIA request (FOIA Log #07-76), I ask your help in expediting my request for information. Please refer me to the appropriate agency head, Senate sub-committee, or other outside agency that would be able to aid in expediting my FOIA request (FOIA Log # 07-76).

I have added an agency response to the end of this note for your reference. Note that the Department of Commerce stated that I would have an answer to my Fee Waiver appeal in two weeks. That statement was made by xxxxxx, Senior Counsel, Office of the General Counsel, General Law Division U.S. Dept. of Commerce in January 2008. It is now March 2008, and despite my repeated polite requests for status updates, the agency has not responded, even now that your sponsored bill is signed into law.

I would appreciate your guidance.

Thanks again,

xxxxxxxxxxxxx
March 26, 2008

P.S.: I will send the actual Fee waiver Appeal to your Office for your reference upon your request (in PDF format). All appeal(s) were filed in a timely manner.
