Leahy is also the author of the OPEN Government Act — the first major set of reforms to FOIA in more than a decade. He joined Republican Senator John Cornyn (R-Texas) in authoring that legislation, which was signed into law in 2007. Last year, Leahy and Cornyn urged President Obama to make government transparency a high priority during his second term, after a report released by the National Security Archive found that a majority of government agencies have yet to update their FOIA regulations to comply with the OPEN Government Act.
