This year, GODORT celebrates the 40th anniversary of the Freedom of Information Act by presenting a panel presentation entitled "Secrecy, Privacy, and FOIA: Conflicts and Consistencies" where 3 panelists will discuss their experiences working on FOIA and E-FOIA cases and issues in addition to conflicts that may arise between FOIA and privacy. Just as depository libraries and distribution have served to keep America informed, these significant laws and regulations have kept American government both open and accountable over the last fifty years. Pentagon Papers, Presidential papers, environmental and health degradation, and the use of assassination and torture have all been just a few of the extreme examples of freedom of information law and reasonable privacy regulations make the government transparent. Depository librarians are frequently the link between this information and the patron seeking it. When: Monday, October 17, 2005, 7:30pm - 9:00pm Where: Hyatt Regency, Columbia B. Panelists: Meredith Fuchs, General Counsel National Security Archive George Washington University Robert Gellman, Privacy and Information Policy Consultant Columnist, GCN (Government Computer News) Patrice McDermott, Deputy Director Office of Government Relations American Library Association GODORT wishes to thank the U.S. Government Printing Office for providing the time and space. I hope you will attend. If you have any questions about this program, please contact me directly. Sincerely, Aimée Aimée C. Quinn Assistant Professor & Assistant Documents Librarian Richard J.
