This book is a compilation of government reports from 2018 and 2019
on secrecy and information policies and procedures. The first
49-page report is from January 2019 and begins with an overview of
the standards governing and exceptions applicable to grand jury
secrecy. The report examines whether and how the rule of grand jury
secrecy and its exceptions apply to Congress. The second report in
this book focuses on disclosure requirements that provide
transparency so that the electorate, the Senate and employing
agencies are aware of potential conflicts of interest that
presidential candidates, executive branch nominees and other
high-ranking executive officials have. Should Congress consider
legislation addressing financial conflicts of interests for
executive branch officials, it may revisit disclosure requirements.
The next 3-page report from 2018 revisits the issue of whether
courts have inherent authority (and obligation) to release secret
grand jury materials. Following this report is a discussion on the
public release of newly appointed Judge Kavanaughs records and
whether the scope and volume of the records released is similar to
previous Supreme Court nominees. The fifth report provides
information on locating military unit histories and individual
service records of discharged, retired and deceased military
personnel. It also provides information n locating and replacing
military awards and medals. Included is contact information for
military history centers, websites for additional sources of
research and a bibliography of other publications, including
related CRS reports. Next, is an exploration of whether executive
privilege applies to the communications of a President-Elect. The
final chapter in this book is a 76-page analysis of the Resolutions
of Inquiry (a simple resolution making a direct request or demand
of the President or the head of an executive department to furnish
the House with specific factual information in the Administrations
possession) and their use in the House from 1947 to 2017.
