Mission
The Legislation Committee assists the PCIE to effectively carry out its duties as specified in
Executive Order 12085. In particular, these responsibilities are to identify, review, and discuss
areas of weakness and vulnerability in Federal programs and operations to fraud, waste, and
abuse, and to develop plans for coordinate, Government wide activities that address these
problems and promote economy and efficiency in Federal programs and operations.
The overall mission of the Legislation Committee is to ensure that the PCIE is kept abreast
of matters in the Congressional arena of interest to the Inspector General community as a whole
or that could impact OIG statutory authority, duties, and organization as provided under the
Inspector General Act. The Committee also develops, coordinates, and represents to
Congress official PCIE positions on particular legislative issues. Finally, the Committee serves
as a resource base for the community on congressional rules, operation, and procedures.
