It looks like a FOIA bill passing this session is a slim possibility. OpentheGovernment.org has this update, in which they cite Speaker of the House Boehner (R-OH) saying "he has no knowledge of the plan" to pass the FOIA bill.
The best hope for this bill would be a government shutdown that causes Congress to stay in session - I'm not saying that is a good thing for the country overall, its just the only way a FOIA bill could pass. Call it a FOIA hail mary.
