'President Johnson's Press Secretary Bill Moyers was involved with the 1966 FOIA Act.
He has taken a strong position against the recent Bush moves towards secrecy."
EDITED TO ADD-Bill Moyers on the Freedom of Information Act; http://www.pbs.org/now/commentary/moyers4.html


"Moyers giving a press conference at the White House During the Kennedy Administration, Moyers was first appointed as associate director of public affairs for the newly created Peace Corps in 1961.

He served as Deputy Director from 1962-63. When Johnson took office after the Kennedy assassination, Moyers became a special assistant to Johnson, serving from 1963–1967."

He played a key role in organizing and supervising the 1964 Great Society legislative task forces and was a principal architect of Johnson's 1964 presidential campaign.

When Walter Jenkins resigned from Johnson's staff in October 1964, Moyers became the President's informal chief of staff until 1966. From July 1965 to February 1967, he also served as White House Press Secretary."
