President Ronald Reagan made no attempt at a major legislative overhaul of the FOIA, but the Congress did amend the law concerning waivers of fees and restrictions concerning law enforcement records.  However, in 1984, the Congress did pass the Central Intelligence Agency Information Act, which put records of some branches of the CIA out of public reach under the FOIA (this will be the subject of an supplementary National Security Archive posting at a later date). Below are links to documents highlighting Congressional and Administration views on the 1986 amendments to the FOIA.
