CFA and ATR Call for Transparency And Accountability in Stimulus Negotiations

January 15, 2009 - 12:32pm

Following President-Elect Obama's favorable reaction to the challenge issued by Republican Whip Eric Cantor regarding the need for transparency in the stimulus negotiations, CFA and ATR have sent a letter to the President-Elect backing up the Whip's call. We believe that given the anticipated size and scope of the yet-to-be-written stimulus package, the highest transparency and accountability standards should be applied to both the negotiation process as well as the likely implementation.
