This objective is especially important given the huge expansion of executive influence in the modern era.

Download or read book Keeping a Watchful Eye written by Joel D. Aberbach and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2001-06-29 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Congressional oversight activity has increased dramatically since the early 1970s. Congressional committees now spend more of their time holding hearings to review the activities of federal agencies, and committee staff members are busy collecting information about what goes on during program implementation. This book examines the reasons behind the surprising growth of congressional oversight. Using original data collected for this project, Joel D. Aberbach documents the increase in oversight activity and links it to changes in the political environment. He explores the political purposes served by oversight, the techniques Congress uses to uncover information about the activities of the federal bureaucracy, and the reasons why topics get on the oversight agenda. He concludes that even though the U.S. government system was not designed with a large administrative sector in mind, its ability to expose bureaucratic behavior to public scrutiny is impressive, and the Congress plays a vital role in this endeavor.

Book excerpt: As the U.S. enters a new cent., the 107th Cong. and the new admin. face an array of challenges and opportunities to enhance the performance and accountability of the Fed. gov't. and to position our country for the future. The GAO's recently issued Performance and Accountability Series describes those challenges. This report provides a framework for considering the budgetary implications of certain program reform options discussed in past GAO work but not yet addressed or enacted. This report is not a complete summary of possible options, but it does provide specific examples that demonstrate the programmatic and fiscal oversight needed as we enter the new millennium.
