    reasoning
    The candidate entity 'freedom of information act foia' has a highly similar label, an identical legal code reference ('5 U.S.C. 552(b)'), and a consistent description with the source entity 'freedom of information act'. Both entities are described as U.S. federal laws granting public access to government records and define similar restriction codes (e.g., b(1), b(6)). The types 'legislation' and 'legal_act' are semantically equivalent in this context.
