What are “agency records”?
A few examples of the wide variety of records that citizens have sought under FOIA include requests from the Food and Drug Administration for health and safety reports on silicone breast implants; from the Immigration and Naturalization Service for information that would help locate and help insure the safety of Haitian refugees who had been deported; from the Department of Commerce for statistics on boycotts; from the Atomic Energy Commission for the names and addresses of military service members who participated in nuclear weapons testing; from the Department of the Navy for an inventory of Native Hawaiian graves; and from the FBI and the CIA for records on the assassination of President Kennedy.
