And This Is Your Receipt for My Receipt....

MemoryBlog points us to an Associated Press story about the nation's oldest pending FOIA request--San Francisco Chronicle reporter Seth Rosenfeld's inquiry into FBI files on the University of California, which dates back to 1981 and has spawned three lawsuits.

Why the foot-dragging? The AP quotes an FBI flack:

"Basically, the FOIA is a matter between the FBI and Mr. Rosenfeld," she said. "Mr. Rosenfeld could file a request to get further information about his request."

Priceless.
