Reading Room Document
Effect of the Freedom of Information Act on the Intelligence Oversight Board
This opinion concluded that the Intelligence Overisght Board was likely subject to neither FOIA nor the Federal Advisory Committee Act. The OLC added that even if the Board was nominally subject to those requirements, the exemptions found in both laws would allow the IOB to continue conducting business confidentially.
