New FOIA Office Head Appointed
Rebecca Carr writes on Window on Washington:
Attorney General Alberto Gonzales tapped a career Justice Department lawyer today to run the Office of Information and Privacy—the office in charge of deciding who gets public information requested under the Freedom of Information Act.More here.
Melanie Ann Pustay replaces Daniel J. Metcalfe, who directed the office for 24 years with Richard Huff before he retired in January. Huff retired the year before.
Pustay arrived in the department in 1983 as an attorney advisor. However, she recently came under fire for failing to publish the FOIA Guide on time.
That criticism did not deter Gonzales.
