Abstract
The Subcommittee on Energy Policy, Natural Resources and Regulatory Affairs of the House Committee on Government Reform analyzed the oversight mechanisms for Presidential gifts. The subcommittee looked into the current Presidential gift system for problems and observed previous abuses of the system. They analyzed what oversight, if any, was needed to deter corruption. The subcommittee found that there are numerous problems with the current Presidential gift system, such as undervalued gifts, and that an oversight agency, staffed with career employees, is needed in order to combat abuse of the Presidential gift system.
