In light of recent decisions by federal agencies including the Internal Revenue Service and Census Bureau to sever ties with the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, Rep. John Kline (R-MN) is requesting a review of links between the organization and federal education, labor, and human services programs. Kline, the top Republican on the U.S. House Education and Labor Committee, yesterday sent letters to the Secretaries of Education, Labor, and Health and Human Services requesting information about any involvement with or support for ACORN by their agencies.
