Some daunting challenges face those public-interest groups that seek to get
at Hillary Clinton’s documents through the Freedom of Information Act. Ever
since the Supreme Court rejected an attempt to require an agency to search
and produce notes and tapes that Henry Kissinger took with him when he left
the State Department (Kissinger v. Reporters Committee, 445 US 136 [1980]),
courts have rejected efforts to use the Freedom of Information Act as a
vehicle to require disclosure of official records that were outside the
physical control of the agency. Indeed, one federal court, just this week,
rejected an effort by Competitive Enterprise Institute to require the White
House Office of Science and Technology to search for e-mails alleged to
have been created by its director on a private e-mail server associated
with his former employer.

"The problems of our economy have occurred not as an outgrowth of
laissez-faire, unbridled competition.
They have occurred under the guidance of federal agencies, and under the
umbrella of federal regulations."
Senator Ted Kennedy, in defending trucking deregulation in 1978.
