1Opinion of the Court
CELEBREZZE, Circuit Judge.
This is an appeal from a District Court’s refusal to order disclosure to Appellant of certain information possessed by the Internal Revenue Service. Appellant’s request for such disclosure order was based upon the “Freedom of Information Act,” 5 U.S.C. § 552.
Our consideration of this appeal necessarily leads us to construe portions of the Act and in so doing to consider the fundamental problems of public access to government information with which the Act dealt. The facts which give rise to the present dispute are not complicated.
