Cautioning Congress II
Washington Monthly, Jan-March, 2008 by Charles Peters
This reminds me of an important warning I have for Congress. Do not--I repeat, do not--confirm a Bush appointee to replace David Walker, the head of the Government Accountability Office who recently resigned. The GAO plays a crucial role as a watchdog for government agencies. The job has an unusual tenure of fifteen years.
