1.Government records
THE USA
The federal Freedom of Information Act says, in general, that all US citizen can inspect and copy any of the records of the various federal government departments. There are some exceptions -many defense and foreign policy matters are kept secret, for instance. And people are not allowed to obtain information about other citizens' private affairs.
The Freedom of Information Act only applies to federal record State governments do not have to open their records to the public and the majority do not.
BRITAIN
The Local Government (Access to Information) Act says that loc. government meetings must be open to the public (with a few exceptions), and that the public may inspect any documents which were consulted at the meetings. But at the time of writing (1987), Britain has no law similar to the Freedom of Information Act. So there is at present no general right to inspect national or local government records, though this may change during the ne few years.
2. Personal files
THE USA
Under the Freedom of Information Act, people can find out whether federal authorities hold files on them, and can inspect an' copy their files.
State governments are not obliged by law to show individuals their personal files.
BRITAIN
From November 1987, the Data Protection Act gives people the right to see, check and if necessary correct any information about themselves which is kept in computerised records. But people have no right to see personal information which is held in non-computerised records.
British local government authorities keep files on large numbers of people - for instance, all those who have had anything to do with the local authority housing, social services or education departments. Some local authorities allow people to see their own files. (In Barnet, in London, for instance, schoolchildren are allowed to see their own files, and from the age of ten they can stop their parents seeing them.) But many local authorities keep people's files secret. So unless these files are computerised, individuals may not be able to check the truth of what is written about them.
However, an Access to Personal Files Bill is going through Parliament, and may become law in 1987. If this happens. British people will be able to see what is written about them in some kinds at records (though they will still not be allowed to see their medical 3r banking files unless these are computerised).

Акт о свободе информации относится только к документации федерального уровня.
Закон местного правительства (о доступе к информации) гласит, что правительственные собрания должны быть открытыми для общественности (публики).
