The Freedom of Information Act, or '''FOIA''' (5 U.S.C. 552, as amended), enables [[citizen]]s to request certain information held by the [[Executive Branch]] of the [[federal government]].  FOIA does ''not'' permit access to records of the [[Congress]] and [[legislative]] branch agencies or the [[judicial branch]], or to donated historical materials (including the [[Nixon]] Presidential Historical Materials.<ref>http://www.archives.gov/foia/foia-guide.html</ref>
 +
 
 +
Access to executive branch information is not allowed if it falls within one of FOIA's nine statutory exemptions.
