The Freedom of Information Act, 1966 in the United States applies only to :
Answer: B
The US Freedom of Information Act applies only to federal agencies.
The Freedom of Information Act, 1966 gives any person the right to request records held by federal executive-branch agencies, such as departments, regulatory commissions and government corporations, subject to nine exemptions such as national security and personal privacy.
Congress and the federal courts are not 'agencies' under the Act and are outside it. Parts of the Executive Office of the President whose sole function is to advise the President are also excluded, so the option naming them is wrong too.
