Increasing Transparency by Tiffany Hsieh, Apr 11, 2008 (5:52am)

The original Federal Advisory Committee Act of 1972 intended to ensure easy public access to advice given by any advisory committee to the President. The Act oversaw the operation and termination of these committees as well. This act continues the tradition of transparency and helps increase the accountability of Federal advisory committees.
