Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit December 4, 1978, Nos. 272, 381, Dockets 78-6121, 78-6162 (American Airlines, Inc. v. National Mediation Board)

OAKES, Circuit Judge:

This appeal, argued to us with considerable sophistication, presents the fairly simple question whether under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. § 5521 the National Mediation Board (the Board) must disclose the number of cards that a union seeking to organize an air carrier’s *865employees submits to the Board.
