From Politico:
Vice President Joe Biden welcomes California Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) to the White House Tuesday, the White House’s first outreach to the chairman that has vowed to investigate every corner of government.
The meeting, which will be at 3 p.m. in the White House, will focus on tracking stimulus spending, White House and Hill sources say.
Issa is looking to dig into specifics about stimulus oversight: enforcing the law that the spending of stimulus dollars must be reported, empowering inspectors general with subpoena power and potentially some improvements to Recovery.gov.
Elizabeth Harris, a spokeswoman for Biden, said the meeting will focus on “oversight of the Recovery Act and opportunities to increase transparency in other federal programs.”
In an interview off the House floor Monday evening, Issa said he knew Biden “before he was vice president, and we should’ve been working together” previous to this meeting.
