On March 15, 2021, the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) hosted its annual Sunshine Week celebration. The first hour of the program featured a conversation with Senior U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth and Adam R. Pearlman on open government and the legal landscape followed by a special video message from U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy of Vermont. The second portion of the program included a panel discussion with users of FOIA moderated by OGIS's Kirsten B. Mitchell. Panelists were Michael Bekesha of Judicial Watch, Alexandra Perloff-Giles of Gibson Dunn & Crutcher’s Media, Entertainment and Technology Group, and Katie Townsend of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press.
