Going back through the congressional record...
The original FOIA bills are here:
Detainee Photographic Records Protection Act of 2009 (Lieberman-Graham): http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c111:S.1100:
Open FOIA Act of 2009 (Leahy-Cornyn): http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c111:S.612:
The Detainee Photographic Records Protection Act was submitted as an amendment to the supplemental appropriations bill on May 20. On May 21 (the day the House passed the appropriations bill) the Detainee Photo amendment was modified to include the Open FOIA Act:
Amendment SA 1157 as modified agreed to in Senate by Unanimous Consent. (text as modified: CR S5799) See: http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d111:SP01157:
This looks like a case of "you'll get yours, but only if we get ours."
