I also presented my suggetions for a decrease in Congressional secrecy to the Government Oversight Committee for discussion. Since the Committee operates secretly, I am not at liberty to describe the discussion. I can say that I was encouraged by the initial responses to my ideas. With some compromise, we may see at least a noticable reduction in secrecy.

I'll keep you informed of the progress of this matter as it moves through Congress.
