FOIPA adventures



Cecil D. Andrus, a Democrat, was elected governor of Idaho four
timesâ??in 1970, 1974, 1986, and 1990â??and served as US Secretary of the
Interior under President Carter.

I have been involved in government at the state and federal level for
a long time and have had my share of political and legal run-ins with
government agencies, but rarely in more than 50 years in politics have
I encountered a government agency more committed to secrecyâ??perhaps
even deceptionâ??than the US Department of Energy.

Most citizens of my state know that, since last January, former
Republican Governor Phil Batt and I have been raising questions about
a plan by the US Department of Energy to bring additional shipments of
commercial spent nuclear fuel to the Idaho National Laboratory in
eastern Idaho for â??research.â??
