The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), enacted in 1966, provides that any person has the right to request access to federal executive branch agency records. "Records" includes potentially all documents and electronic forms of information storage. Federal agencies are required to disclose records upon receiving a written request for them, except for those records protected from disclosure by the exemptions and exclusions of the FOIA. Any person includes non-U.S. citizens, but does not include other governmental agencies. The right of access provided for by the FOIA is enforceable in federal court.
