details of information requests (companies, government, federal, chairman)

WASHINGTON (AP) — The new Republican chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee is demanding details of every request for federal records made by citizens, journalists, companies and others during the last five years under the Freedom of Information Act.

The Associated Press reported in July that for at least a year, the department had sidetracked hundreds of requests for federal records to top political advisers to the department's secretary, Janet Napolitano. The political appointees wanted information about those requesting the materials, and in some cases the release of documents considered politically sensitive was delayed, according to numerous e-mails that were obtained by the AP.
The committee's previous request for the Homeland Security Department to turn over its FOIA-related records set a deadline of Saturday for those documents.

Well that will help to shrink those federal agencies and departments not to mention the overtime costs.
