On the legislative front, the Committee on Government Reform was very active promoting stronger management practices at Fed- eral departments and agencies and improving the operations and effectiveness of Federal programs. Whether transforming the orga- nizational structure of the General Services Administration or granting the right to vote to citizens of the Nation’s Capitol, the committee remained focused on making the Federal Government more responsive to the needs of the people it serves. At the committee’s request, the Government Accountability Of- fice [GAO] produced 359 reports, testimonies and briefings in sup- port of oversight investigations and program reviews. As a result of the Government Reform Committees oversight, billions of dollars worth of outright savings, avoidable costs and increased revenues have been identified and captured. In the course of that oversight, the committee and subcommittees uncovered wasteful spending, mismanagement, ineffective policy VerDate 11-MAY-2000 13:04 Dec 29, 2006 Jkt 000000 PO 00000 Frm 00007 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 D:\DOCS\31582.TXT HGOVREF1 PsN: HGOVREF1 2 implementation, and poor interagency coordination. Direct savings and other financial benefits identified as a result of the committee’s GAO work alone now total $6.5 billion.1 Current oversight yielded savings in areas such as the Department of Defense excess prop- erty reutilization system ($42 million) and information technology investments at the Department of Interior ($80 million). Other quantifiable fiscal achievements accrued from earlier GAO reports to the committee. I. JURISDICTION AND HISTORY OF THE COMMITTEE The Committee on Government Reform serves both as the House of Representative’s government operations committee and also as its chief investigative and oversight body, reviewing allegations of waste, fraud and mismanagement across the Federal Government. Alone among the House committees, the Committee on Govern- ment Reform has legislative jurisdiction over the operations of all Federal agencies including, human resources, information tech- nology, procurement, and financial and general management policy. Unlike other House committees, the committee has the authority to conduct oversight and investigations outside of its legislative ju- risdiction. The committee’s unique legislative jurisdiction and over- sight authority make it one of the most influential committees in the House of Representatives. Congressman Tom Davis (R–VA) served as the chairman of the committee in the 108th and 109th Congress. The ranking minority member was Congressman Henry Waxman (D–CA). The Committee on Government Reform first appeared in 1927 as the Committee on Expenditures in the Executive Departments. It was created by consolidating the 11 Committees on Expenditures previously responsible for overseeing

  • George Mason University Case Study
    Education – Upgrade George Mason University Fairfax, VA In addition to offering more uniform, targeted illumination, Cree’s LED lighting solution provides George Mason University with a highly-efficient exterior lighting system that works toward its long-term sustainability goals. • Anticipated annual energy cost savings of over $92,000 • Estimated annual maintenance cost savings of more than $42,000 • Over 1,951 megawatt-hours annual electrical energy savings CREE IDENTIFIED AS BEST RETROFIT SOLUTION OPPORTUNITY George Mason University is rapidly evolving from its roots as a Northern Virginia regional college into a nationally recognized leader, now globally ranked among the top 200 world universities. The university’s development has been marked by rapid growth and innovative planning that includes the revolutionary concept of the “distributed” university with multiple campuses. In 2007, George Mason University’s President Alan Merten signed the American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment (ACUPCC). Since then, the University developed and began implementing an organizational and decision-making structure for sustainability: the Executive Steering Committee for Sustainability, the Sustainability Council and Sustainability Working Groups. Each of these groups has a dierent purpose and goals, but together ensure the vertical and horizontal integration of sustainability activities with the entire campus community. In addition to the ACUPCC, George Mason University actively pursues creative methods to reduce energy use, requiring all agencies of the Commonwealth to monitor, report and reduce energy costs and consumption for all state-owned facilities through a comprehensive energy plan. SOLUTION In 2009, surveys were conducted to evaluate potential facility improvements across the three George Mason University campuses.

  • Retired United States Congressmen from the State of Michigan
    Retired United States Congressmen from the State of Michigan Submitted by Joshua Koss To The Honors College Oakland University In partial fulfillment of the requirement to graduate from The Honors College 1 Abstract Conventional wisdom in the study of members of Congress, pioneered by Richard Fenno, argues that one of the chief goals of elected officials is their reelection. However, this theory does not account for those who willingly retire from Congress. Who are these former members and what activities do they pursue once they leave office? To answer the first question, this project analyzes data on retired members of Congress from the state of Michigan regarding the years they served, party identification, and their age of retirement. The second and perhaps more interesting question in this research, examines the post-congressional careers of former members of Congress and whether their new line of work has any connections with their time in Congress through committee assignments and issue advocacy. In addition to quantitative analysis of the attributes of former members and their post-congressional careers, a qualitative analysis is conducted through a comparative case study of retired Senator Donald Riegle and former Representative Mike Rogers. This aspect of the study more closely examines their respective career paths through congress and post-congressional vocations. 2 Introduction In 1974, Democratic Congresswoman Martha Griffiths announced her retirement from the House of Representatives citing her age, 62, as a key motivation for the decision. After this, Griffiths would serve two terms as Michigan Lieutenant Governor before being dropped off the ticket, at the age of 78, due to concerns about her age, a claim she deemed “ridiculous” (“Griffiths, Martha Wright”).
