The Hill ^ | MAY 1, 2011 | Publius

On Tuesday of next week, a House Energy and Commerce subcommittee will hold a hearing titled “White House Transparency, Visitor Logs and Lobbyists.” The hearing comes after a report by the Center for Public Integrity detailing disclosure gaps in visitor records released by the White House.

In a memo describing the hearing, staff for the House Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee cite the Center’s report about the visitor records. They also list a number of questions for the Obama administration on how its disclosure policy has come to function.

I wonder of the WH distributes the logs as PDFs.

[Palter]

The records will be erased as per the previous admin.

The point of this is ..... what? precisely?

[Hotlanta Mike]

Didn’t Mr. Transparency recently receive an award???

[PROCON]

The point of this is ..... what? precisely?

From the article:

“Have there been White House meetings with lobbyists and other interest groups about which information has not been released to the public?” the memo asks. “Have White House officials met with lobbyists and other interest groups outside of the White House in order to avoid generating records of such meetings?”

Uh, corruption?

[Siena Dreaming]

It’s clear in the article...WH is likely hiding meeting with lobbyists, etc.

Didn’t Mr. Transparency recently receive an award???
