It isn't all about the budget. And perhaps this one is ironic in many ways.  But there have been some interesting hearings that are well worth noting. NACDL has a press release on the "Clean Up the Government Act" here.  Also they have a Section-by-Section Analysis of the Clean Up the Government Act of 2011 (HR 2572).  The hearing can be found here.  And don't miss Tim P. O'Toole's (Miller & Chevalier) testimony before the House Committee on the Judiciary, Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism & Homeland Security – Download OTooleTestimony_07262011

 There also was a hearing on the FCPA (here).  Check out the testimony of Shana-Tara Regon (Director – White Collar Policy- NACDL) – Download FCPA Regon Testimony
