Book Description
Excerpt from U. S. Government Information and Policies and Practices, Administration and Operation of the Freedom of Information Act, Vol. 4: Hearings Before a Subcommittee of the Committee on Government Operations House of Representatives, Ninety-Second Congress, Second Session; March 6, 7, 10, 14, and 17, 1972 Call it government secrecy, news management, the credibility gap, or truth in government, it is a problem which has been with us since our form of government was established. It is a political problem, but it is not a partisan problem. All administrations, whether Whig or Federalist, Republican or Democrat, have faced the problem; no administration, no President, no Congress has solved it. In fact, the problem of informing all of the people who are an integral part of the democratic process has become more and more important in recent years - has grown to alarming proportions, particularly since World War II.
