Editor’s Note
Notwithstanding the American tendency to ignore history, the Editor has been involved in the formulation and initiation of centralized regulatory review over the course of five presidential administrations, from its inception (Johnson Administration) to its development (Nixon and Ford Administrations) to its codification (Carter Administration) and finally to its government-wide implementation (Reagan Administration). Those readers who wish to review in greater detail the issues addressed in the creation of OIRA might benefit from (1) placing the term “OIRA Creation” into the CRE Search Engine (2) reviewing the material in this extensive list of OIRA Reference Libraries and (3) reviewing nearly five hundred journal articles, hand picked by CRE, which were published and influential during the formative years of OIRA.
