EPIC Obtains Contractor Documents for Defense Dept. Domestic Surveillance Project
A Freedom of Information Act lawsuit [PDF] pursued by EPIC has led to the disclosure of 180 pages detailing the projects that were funded and rejected by the Office of Information Awareness, headed by John Poindexter. The documents, which include the names of companies seeking Total Information Awareness (TIA) funding, as well as proposal titles, are available for download in four parts: [Part 1: PDF, 5.6MB] [Part 2: PDF, 6.4MB] [Part 3: PDF, 5.0MB] [Part 4: PDF, 3.5MB]. See EPIC's Total Information Awareness page. (Feb. 27)
