Government agencies depend on Congress for their very existence, but Congress can do little more than give the bureaucracy general instructions as it concentrates on its own legislative agenda. Members of Congress do expect agencies to respond to their requests for information or support as they attempt to advance personal imperatives. "It's a big part of job," Robert Reich comments When evidence suggests that an agency has stepped out of line, Congress exerts its oversight responsibility and takes corrective action.
