Committee Republicans Unveil Whistleblower Feature on Web Site
Citizens Encouraged to Report Waste, Fraud and Abuse and Recommend Reforms

February 06, 2007

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Rep. Tom Davis (R-Va.), ranking member on the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, has established an e-mail address, OVERSIGHT@MAIL.HOUSE.GOV as well as an anonymous whistleblower tip-line and an online reform suggestion box to help citizens communicate with the committee.

The Republican Committee website, http://republicans.oversight.house.gov/contact,
invites anyone with information about waste, fraud or abuse or anyone who has identified a needed reform to provide information anonymously. Committee staff will review all communications and act on those within the committee's jurisdiction.

"Real oversight gathers evidence and follows the facts to sound conclusions," said Davis. "Real reform starts with good ideas from the people. Whether the subject is Iraq reconstruction or why Sandy Berger never was given a polygraph, we want to help gather the facts that drive constructive oversight."
