In a letter sent to the Department of the Interior today, Congressman Elijah Cummings and U.S. Senators Leahy, Grassley, and Cornyn urged the Department to reconsider its proposed FOIA rule because it appeared to “restrict public access to DOI’s records and delay the processing of FOIA requests in violation of the letter and spirit of FOIA.” The Department’s proposed rule drew more than 60,000 public comments.
