Based on the charge given to this Task Force, we are recommending a general framework to use in dealing with the four areas we were assigned. Our hope is that this framework can help guide House action for the remainder of this Congress and beyond. In each of the four areas, we have offered recommendations for the near term that can reasonably be acted upon during this Congress. We have also listed other issues that could be considered or at least advanced. At a minimum, committees should hold hearings on these other issues as they are often.
