Restoring Accountability and Oversight

Spotlight on Oversight
A member of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Rep. Welch distinguished himself during his first term by writing legislation that closed a multi-billion dollar contractor fraud loophole. In recognition of these efforts, President Obama invited Welch to take part in the announcement in March 2009 of a major overhaul in government contracting procedures.

"Government works best when it operates transparently and is subject to strict oversight. Following an era during which these principles were abandoned, it has become more important than ever for Congress to ensure that the federal government is operating effectively, efficiently and accountably. My work on the Oversight and Government Reform Committee has focused on ensuring that there is a cop on the beat and that taxpayer dollars are being spent as intended – a role that has grown all the more important in the wake of the financial collapse of 2008. As we rebuild our economy, I am working to ensure that recovery efforts are carried out in a transparent manner – free from fraud and wasteful spending."
