White House on FOIA: A Big Nothing?

The President signed an executive order this afternoon dealing with FOIA. The transcript of the White House press briefing makes it sound like a big nothing: among other things, it appears the EO does not undo the Ashcroft memo that presumes secrecy under FOIA when there is any question about access to the records.
Stay tuned: once we obtain the EO, we'll have more to say.
