Regarding my Designation as Chairman of the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board

I am honored to have been chosen for this position.  I appreciate the trust and confidence being placed in me by the President and Vice President to lead this Board.  My goals for the Board are simple.  First, I hope to provide the American people with the historic level of accountability and transparency envisioned in the Recovery Act.  Second, I intend to develop a Board which will work tirelessly to prevent fraud, waste and abuse in a collaborative manner with all levels of federal, state and local governments.  Telling stakeholders what they need to know, not necessarily what they want to know, has been a hallmark of my federal government career, a practice I will continue as Chairman of the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board.
