Opinion for the Court filed by Circuit Judge GINSBURG.
Dissenting Opinion filed by Circuit Judge TATEL.
GINSBURG, Circuit Judge:
This case presents the question whether the National Security Council is an “agency” subject to the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. § 552(f), that is, whether the NSC is an “executive department ... or other establishment in the executive branch.” If so, then the NSC is both subject to the disclosure requirements of the FOIA and obligated to preserve its records in accordance with the Federal Records Act, 44 U.S.C. §§ 3101-07, 3301-14.
