LIVELY, Circuit Judge.
This is an appeal from summary judgment for the plaintiff in an action under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. § 552 (1976). The general purpose of FOIA is to open the records of government agencies to public scrutiny. However, Congress provided for the exclusion of certain types of records from the provisions of the Act by creating seven "exemptions." This case concerns the fifth exemption.
