Responses on Smithsonian Inspector General
Friday, June 23, 2006
Today Sen. Chuck Grassley, chairman of the Committee on Finance, received responses to his inquiry regarding the Smithsonian's inspector general. He made the following comment on the responses. His original inquiry follows.
"This is a good, fast response from both OMB and the Smithsonian's board. It's very positive that the inspector general will be an independent choice who will report to the Smithsonian board, not to the head of the agency. I'm glad to see a shot in the arm for strong, independent oversight to protect a national treasure."
