Since 2010, he has been conducting non-partisan reviews of federal agencies initiated at the behest of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives. Mr. Williams has led reviews focused on an array of issues including but not limited to discretionary transportation grants, postal monopolies, and the management of federal real property.
