Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)
The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) provides the public the right to request access to records from any federal agency. Federal agencies are required to disclose any information requested under the FOIA unless it falls under one of nine exemptions which protect interests such as personal privacy, national security, and law enforcement.
To learn more about FOIA, see the FAQ page on FOIA.gov.

The statute also states that government officials have a responsibility to provide that information to you.
