  SAA Leaders:



Please see the *Action Alert* on the SAA home page (
http://www2.archivists.org/) about supporting the Freedom of Information
Improvement Act.



Before you leave for your Thanksgiving holiday, take a moment to encourage
your members to contact their Senators’ offices – *by Monday, December 1*
*–* to urge them to 1) support the bill and 2) ensure that it comes to a
vote during this session of Congress.



One of SAA’s key advocacy objectives is to make transparent and hold
accountable government organizations at all levels.  Improving the FOIA law
as proposed would significantly advance that agenda.  SAA’s Committee on
Advocacy and Public Policy has prepared an excellent issue brief on FOIA
that you’ll find here:
http://www2.archivists.org/statements/issue-brief-freedom-of-information-act.




Please help spread the word!



Best regards – Nancy
