The so-far unanswered FOIA requests focus on issues such as the 1993 health care task force headed by then-first lady Hillary Clinton, the Marc Rich pardon, and the Clinton administration's tracking of Osama bin Laden. The Clinton library first began accepting FOIA requests on Jan. 20, 2006. Five days later, it received eight requests from USA Today reporter Susan Page. Page told Cybercast News Service Monday that so far the Clinton library has not provided her with any documents in response to any of her requests. On Feb. 23, more than four weeks after it received the requests from USA Today, the Clinton library received more than 50 FOIA requests from Grant Cameron, who runs PresidentialUFO.com. Cameron's biography says he is "working on a detailed paper detailing the '64 Reasons the Government is Covering Up the ET Presence.'" Cameron's Web site boasts that he has made about 100 requests to the Clinton library and that so far the library has provided him with responses to 12 of those requests. The receipt dates for USA Today's and Cameron's FOIA requests are recorded in a chronological log of FOIA requests to the Clinton library provided to Cybercast News Service by the National Archives and Records Administration. Under the <a href="http://www.archives.gov/presidential-libraries/laws/1978-act.html">Presidential Records Act</a>, the records in the Clinton library are open to the public, subject to certain exemptions for national security and privacy concerns.<a href="http://www.cnsnews.com/ViewPolitics.asp?Page=/Politics/archive/200802/POL20080204c.html">Read more</a> UFO Mediahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16075105269793297177noreply@blogger.com
