OMB
Watch,
a nonprofit research and advocacy organization, was formed in 1983 to lift the
veil of secrecy shrouding the White House Office of Management and Budget
(OMB). OMB oversees federal regulation, the budget,
information collection and dissemination, proposed legislation, testimony by
agencies, and much more. While OMB's actions were having an enormous
impact on agency operations and the pursuit of social justice, it remained
largely behind the scenes — unaccountable and little understood by the public
and public interest groups. By explaining governmental processes and monitoring
OMB, OMB Watch helped bring sunshine to this powerful and secretive agency.http://www.ombwatch.org/article/archive/250
