History

The panel now known as the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform was originally the Committee on Expenditures in the Executive Departments, created in 1927 to consolidate 11 separate Committees on Expenditures that had previously overseen the spending of various departments of the federal government. The Committee on Expenditures became the Committee on Government Operations in 1952. The new name was intended to reflect the committee's broad mission: to oversee "the operations of Government activities at all levels with a view to determining their economy and efficiency". After Republicans gained control of the House in the
