"The effective functioning of our constitutional democracy depends upon the participation in public life of a citizenry that is well informed.

Accordingly, agencies shall process requests under the FOIA in an efficient and appropriate manner and achieve tangible, measurable improvements in FOIA processing. When an agency's FOIA program does not produce such results, it should be reformed, consistent with available resources appropriated by the Congress and applicable law, to increase efficiency and better reflect the policy goals and objectives of this order." This executive order designates agency chief FOIA officers, establishes general duties, and establishes a FOIA Requester Service Center and FOIA public liaisons.
