U.S. Congressional Oversight
Senate Committee on Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs
The Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs has broad oversight jurisdiction over government operations generally and the Department of Homeland Security in particular. Its primary responsibilities are to study the efficiency, economy, and effectiveness of all agencies and departments of the federal government.
Of particular note is the Subcommittee on Contracting Oversight, which conducts investigations into federal contracting and holds regular hearings to examine past failures, current policies, and how to bring more efficiency, transparency, and accountability to the contracting process.
