Open email to Sen. Cornyn (TX):
Dear Sen.
Cornyn,
I like your amendment to the recent Senate budget bill, wherein
you withhold the pay of the Director of The Office of Management and Budget and
other related budget preparation persons, when they are late in submitting the
required budget.
This is particularly interesting, because it's a first
step by Congress to hold various people of the Administration responsible for properly doing
their jobs. This is particularly true of the various Federal agencies. For each of these agencies, I
believe there is an equivalent Senate overseeing committee. The Senate
committees need to take more forceful
actions with these various agencies to follow the laws previously established by
Congress and approved by the President. We see too many cases where persons take
inappropriate actions, inconsistent with the original law or regulation. These
people do damage and need to be restrained. I believe that should be the
responsibility of the Congressional oversight committees.
