Congressional Oversight - It's Baaaaack

For the past few years, congressional oversight has been lagging at best. With the change in makeup of the US House of Representatives and the US Senate as a result of the recent elections, congressional oversight is regaining public attention. What is it (oversight) and how do they (Congress) do it?

The answers are in the Congressional Oversight Manual which was completely updated October 21, 2004, into a 146-page booklet. That was then updated again on January 3, 2006, in a 6-page report for Congress.
