This Symposium was convened to assess how, in this new age of environmental law, scholars, advocates, policy makers, journalists, and other interested members of the public can gain access to and harness information about our environment. My modest role is to provide an overview of federal right-to-know laws, including the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), and to ask whether these statutes ensure that environmental information is made available to the public in a timely and dependable way.
