Every 60 days the Government Accountability Office is supposed to release a report on the execution of the Troubled Asset Relief Program administered by the Treasury Department.

Chief Technology Officer: Not So Much
The debate goes on over whether President-elect Obama should create the position of Chief Technology Officer, and if so, what that person’s portfolio should include. Jim Harper, Director of Information Policy Studies at the Cato Institute, weighed in with a blog post on the subject, and we talked about the points he made in the post. We also talked about transparency of Federal information, and Jim told me about an event Cato is hosting next week called “Just Give Us the Data.”
Changes at Home
