1 The 
CRA is intended to keep Congress informed of the rulemaking activities of federal 
agencies and provides that before a rule can take effect, the agency must submit the 
rule to each House of Congress and the Comptroller General.

2 For the reasons 
discussed below, we conclude that the July 12, 2012 Information Memorandum is a 
rule under the CRA. Therefore, it must be submitted to Congress and the 
Comptroller General before taking effect.

Thank you for this. This confirms my prediction. The letter from the GAO is solely focused on whether the HHS memorandum is a rule or not a rule. The GAO concludes it is a rule and, as such, must be submitted to Congress. The letter does not address even in the slightest the suggest that the memorandum gut the work requirements of welfare. As such, the Hatch press release is completely misleading and demonstrates his total lack of commitment to the truth.

I invite everyone to read Hatch's press release and then the GAO letter itself to see the level of deception in which these two Republican officials were willing to engage.
