Statements of Administrative Policy

September 9th, 2007 by John Wonderlich · No Comments

The Office of Management and Budget offers tons of information publicly, and does a great job of archiving and indexing pdfs relating to their reports, budgets, and testimony.

I find the Statements of Administrative Policy to be particularly helpful, since the administration’s official policy positions on various legislative initiatives are all available as they’re available.

Now if bills as they’re reported out of committee and considered on the floor were to get assigned a URI and everyone used a standardized version of LOC’s Legislative Indexing Vocabulary, then these disparate data sets could all be more easily linked for centralized tracking.
