H.Res. 462 offered by Rep. Steve LaTourette, R-OH., would require the Obama administration to disclose to Congress all relavant documents and proceedings regarding its decision to close nearly 800 Chrysler dealerships and multiple Chrysler manufacturing plants within 14 days of the resolution's passage.

H.Res. 449, offered by Rep. F. James Sensennbrenner, R-WI., would require the EPA to disclose all documents, correspondence, scientific evidence, cost benefit and systemic risk analysis, interagency comments, and specific OMB memos, regarding EPA's proposed endangerment finding for regulating greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act. Moving forward with this measure of the transparency would give the American people a clearer understanding of how the EPA and other Federal agencies have carefully evaluated the costs and benefits of empowering the EPA to regulate all carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases emission in the United States. This resolution was reported to the House floor by voice vote with a neutral recommendation.
