dc.description.abstract |
The undersigned organizations, write in strong support of the bipartisan Access to
Congressionally Mandated Reports Act (“ACMRA”) and urge its prompt consideration by the
full Senate.
Once enacted, ACMRA would strengthen congressional oversight of the Executive branch
and provide much needed government transparency and accountability. Specifically, ACMRA
would establish the first-ever public, online database of most agency reports that are
statutorily required by Congress. To do this, ACMRA would direct the vast majority of
Executive branch agencies to transmit to the Government Publishing Office reports that
federal law requires them to submit to Congress; GPO will serve as a central repository. In
addition, ACMRA would direct the compilation of most laws mandating agency reports to
Congress and require GPO to track whether it has received the reports. |
