- From Congress Daily, on IG reform: p. 12, monday may 5, 2008. My review of this issue is available here.
House and Senate negotiators might start talks this week over separate versions of legislation aimed at ensuring the independence of federal inspectors general, though staffers said a deal is unlikely before budget discussions are completed.
Both the Senate and House have passed IG bills, with backers of the Senate bills — in a bid to win a floor vote — recently agreeing to a number of amendments aimed at addressing White House concerns. With the White House opposed to the House’s slightly stronger bill but apparently willing to swallow the Senate bill, aides expect the House to largely accept the Senate version.
- HR 5593, which would amend the Congressional Review act to mandate publication in the Congressional Record.

- I’m currently reading this book on administrative law: Principles of Administrative Law. I recommend it enthusiastically, after reading the first chapter and its overview of administrative law and its history of the American administrative state.
