Longest Lasting FOIA Request Now 24 Years Old
Twenty-four years after a young and optimistic journalist-in-the-making typed up a Freedom of Information Act request to the FBI, Seth Rosenfeld - now an award-winning muckraker with a few gray hairs - is still waiting for the records.

A investigative and legal affairs reporter for the San francisco Chronicle, Rosenfeld holds the dubious record of "longest pending FOIA request," according to the National Security Archive, a nonprofit research center on declassified documents.

Rosenfeld's request has to do with researching the FBI's role in attempts to curb the Free Speech Movement @ UC Berkeley in the '50s and '60s.
