Are working files subject to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)?

The FOIA does not exclude working files. If there are documents in the files that are exempt from the FOIA under one of its exclusions, those documents are withheld from disclosure. However, the fact that they are working files does not, in itself, exempt them from disclosure. See the FOIA web site for more details.
