(Washington, DC) Judicial Watch, the public interest law firm that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, stated today that it was successful, once again, at providing the American public with access to government documents and records under the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act (“FOIA”) – this time from the Treasury Department.

Judicial Watch has several FOIA actions and lawsuits underway in an effort to ensure the public’s right to know is fully exercised concerning both the Enron scandal and the Bush Administration’s stonewalling tactics concerning the Cheney Energy Task Force. Judicial Watch is committed to pursuing open, honest government, and has successfully uncovered improper government activities and corruption through a robust pursuit of FOIA and other “open records” laws.

Judicial Watch has already received documents from the Federal Energy Regulator Commission (“FERC”), the Commerce Department and other government agencies concerning Enron.

“This is just the beginning. We’ve been down this road before, when prior administrations have dragged their feet and stalled when it came to disclosing their activities to the public,” stated Judicial Watch Chairman and General Counsel Larry Klayman. “We hoped the Bush Administration would not follow the Clinton ‘playbook’ on these matters, but we’re becoming increasingly disappointed. The public can rest assured that Judicial Watch will continue to fight for their ‘right to know’,” Klayman added.
