I’m more interested in knowing if he is “small government”.
The Governmental Affairs Committee is charged with overseeing the management of the federal government. During his Chairmanship, Senator Thompson’s committee actively pursued an agenda aimed at producing a smaller, more efficient, and more accountable government. Of his efforts, the Kingsport Times-News wrote, “Sen. Thompson is to be applauded for keeping a watchful eye over Washington fiscal matters. There should be more like him.”
Senator Thompson held hearings on topics such as improving the federal regulatory process; reforming the IRS; exploring ways to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse; and a number of national security issues, including the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and missile technologies. Senator Thompson also investigated and successfully enacted solutions to information management problems such as computer security.
