Executive Transparency Act

This bill would add a new section to federal law requiring 30 federal officials to give an annual briefing to specific committees of Congress. The officials include Cabinet secretaries, the Attorney General, the U.S. Trade Representative, and heads of agencies such as the CIA, FBI, IRS, EPA, FEMA, the Federal Reserve Board, and the Securities and Exchange Commission. Each official would brief the House and Senate Appropriations Committees and the other committees that oversee their area. The committees would decide the form and manner of each briefing.
