## Overview
This entity is a frontmatter section from a digitized document, extracted from a text file derived from a PDF. It spans lines 56 to 66 of the source file and was processed on January 28, 2026. The section outlines the exemptions under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), specifically referencing 5 U.S.C. § 552(b), and details the legal justifications for withholding information in federal records.
## Context
The material is part of a larger document titled [Vieques Remarks](arke:01KG2TSWADQKM6FJC6H5J03W80), a legal document concerning President William Jefferson Clinton’s 1999 video remarks on U.S. Navy training operations on Vieques, Puerto Rico. This FOIA section follows another frontmatter section titled [Restriction Codes](arke:01KG2TTKF912TBX8NDVEK8TYPD), which outlines restrictions under the Presidential Records Act, and precedes [National Security Council Notes](arke:01KG2TTKA22Y3WB0QJNV1EMSME). The document is stored in the [Test Collection](arke:01KG2T49K0H5GDRB0G4YDTPG8H), a repository of archival materials related to U.S. government records.
## Contents
This section lists the nine FOIA exemptions (b)(1) through (b)(9), each specifying categories of information that may be withheld from public disclosure. These include national security classified information, internal agency rules, information protected by federal statutes, trade secrets, personal privacy concerns, law enforcement records, financial institution regulations, and geological data on wells. The text serves as a legal marker indicating which parts of the document may be redacted or restricted under FOIA, providing transparency about the grounds for non-disclosure. The section ends with a reference to page 3 of the original document.
