Congressional Investigations: Subpoenas and Contempt Power
Order Code RL31836 Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Congressional Investigations: Subpoenas and Contempt Power April 2, 2003 Louis Fisher Senior Specialist in Separation of Powers Government and Finance Division Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress Congressional Investigations: Subpoenas and Contempt Power Summary When conducting investigations of the executive branch, congressional committees and Members of Congress generally receive the information required for legislative needs. If agencies fail to cooperate or the President invokes executive privilege, Congress can turn to a number of legislative powers that are likely to compel compliance. The two techniques described in this report are the issuance of subpoenas and the holding of executive officials in contempt. These techniques usually lead to an accommodation that meets the needs of both branches. Litigation is used at times, but federal judges generally encourage congressional and executive parties to settle their differences out of court. The specific examples in this report explain how information disputes arise and how they are resolved. For legal analysis see CRS Report 95-464A, Investigative Oversight: An Introduction to the Law, Practice, and Procedure of Congressional Inquiry, by Morton Rosenberg, and CRS Report RS30319, Presidential Claims of Executive Privilege: History, Law, Practice and Recent Developments, by Morton Rosenberg. A number of legislative tools, including subpoenas and contempt citations, are covered in CRS Report RL30966, -

Reagan's Cabinet Appointments Get Positive Ratings from the Public
The Harris Survey For Release: Thursday AM, January 22nd, 1981 1981 #7 ISSN 0273-1037 REAGAN'S CABINET APPOINTMENTS GET POSITIVE RATINGS FROM THE PUBLIC By Louis Harris A 52-34 percent majority of Americans gives President Ronald Reagan positive marks for his Cabinet appointments. The prevailing belief is that an incoming president should have a chance to name his own people to his team, and they should be permitted to try their hand at solving governmental problems over an initial period of time. Some partisan strains still carryover from the election, however, and the Reagan Cabinet will soon be subject to criticism if its performance does not meet the high expectations people have set for it. For example, those who voted for Carter in the last election give the new Cabinet negative marks by 49-38 percent, as do liberals by 50-37 percent. But the majority of Reagan voters, along with Republicans and independents, give the new President high scores on his overall Cabinet selections. There are some wide variations in the public response to the Cabinet, however, as shown by the results of this latest Harris Survey of 1,499 adults nationwide. Four appointments receive broad acceptance: --U.N. Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick's nomination leads the list, with a 57-27 percent majority that thinks her appointment was sound and right. This is a reflection of people's desire to have more women in prominent government positions. --A 55-27 percent majority gives President Reagan high marks for naming Samuel Pierce, a black New York lawyer, as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. -

Legal Defense Funds and Other Ways That Government Officials Pay Their Lawyers
Paying the Price for Heightened Ethics Scrutiny: Legal Defense Funds and Other Ways That Government Officials Pay Their Lawyers Kathleen Clark* This article takes a comprehensive look at a problem of growing signifi- cance for government officials: how to pay the legalfees they incur when they or their colleagues are investigatedfor wrongdoing. Since Watergate, an in- creasing number of government officials have had to hire attorneys when called before grandjuries and legislative committees or subjected to internal admin- istrative investigations. Their legalfees often outstrip their government salaries or even their net worth. This article examines three existing mechanisms for government reimbursement of legal fees-Justice Department regulations, the Independent Counsel statute, andprivate legislation-andidentifies the short- comings of each. It then explores the legal status of legal defensefunds, which top officials have used to raise millions of dollars to pay their legalfees. Fi- nally, the article identifies several reforms that would treat government officials much morefairly andprotect against corruptinginfluences.

Observations on the Differences Between Prosecuting for a United States Attorney's Office and an Office of Independent Counsel*
WEARING A BULL'S EYE: OBSERVATIONS ON THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PROSECUTING FOR A UNITED STATES ATTORNEY'S OFFICE AND AN OFFICE OF INDEPENDENT COUNSEL* Roscoe C. Howard, Jr.** The servants of the nation are to render their services without any taking of presents. The disobedient shall, if convicted, die with- out ceremony. Plato1 I. INTRODUCTION Public servants respond to a higher calling. In deciding to enter public service, individuals agree to forsake personal rewards, to ignore the personal pleas of friends, acquaintances, and special in- terests, and to work for the common good of the community. Federal public servants work for the good of the entire nation, not for the individual interests of a person or a narrow constituency. When a public servant ignores an oath to uphold and abide by * © Roscoe C. Howard, Jr., 1999. All rights reserved. ** Professor of Law, The University of Kansas. A.B., Brown University, 1974; J.D., University of Virginia, 1977. Professor Howard is a former Assistant United States At- torney for the District of Columbia and the Eastern District of Virginia, as well as a former Associate Independent Counsel under the Honorable Arlin M. Adams, investigat- ing former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Samuel R. Pierce, Jr., and under the Honorable Donald C. Smaltz, investigating former Secretary of Agriculture A.
