The President signed H.R. 5345, which creates a single point of contact at the Social Security Administration for people whose Social Security number has been stolen or card lost, and S. 766, the 'Billion Dollar Boondoggle Act,' which requires an annual report on federal projects more than five years late or over $1 billion over budget.

Both bills are described only in a brief White House notice with no further detail on scope, funding, or enforcement provided.

✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK

An annual list of the government's worst budget blowouts sounds useful right up until you ask who writes the report and who reads it. Giving identity theft victims one phone number to call instead of a maze is a plain, small good thing, and it is nice when Washington manages one of those without a parade. The boondoggle report, we'll believe when we see it actually shame somebody.
