iii, 142 pages, illustrations, no dust jacket as issued The Committee on Oversight and Government Reform has existed in varying forms since 1816, and is the main investigative committee in the U.S. House of Representatives. The Committee's government-wide oversight jurisdiction and expanded legislative authority make it one of the most influential and powerful committees in the House. The Committee serves as Congress' chief investigative and oversight committee, and is granted broad jurisdiction. The chairman of the committee is the only committee chairman in the House with the authority to issue subpoenas without a committee vote. However, in recent history, it has become practice to refrain from unilateral subpoenas.
