H.R. 6388 Government Accountability Office Improvement Act of 2008

H.R. 6388 would authorize the Comptroller General to sue for access to documents needed to discharge his duties. Other provisions of this bill give GAO authority to interview federal employees and administer oaths. The bill also affirms GAO’s right to obtain records from three agencies that have sometimes thwarted GAO oversight by denying access to documents: the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the Food and Drug Administration, and the Federal Trade Commission.
