John Graham, administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs in the White House Office of Management and Budget, will be leaving that post to become dean of the RAND Graduate School, effective March 1. Perhaps he will teach his students to do a better job in public policy than he did at OIRA. “John Graham comes to RAND with an outstanding track record," RAND insists, but his legacy at the White House is a brutal one for the public:

• OMB Role in Fuel Economy Change Exposed
• Administration Asks Manufacturers for Regulatory Hit List
• GAO Finds OMB Regulatory Review Not Well Documented
• Graham Advises Agencies on Valuing Lives of Seniors
• OMB Waters Down Standards on Factory-Farm Runoff
• OMB Expands Influence Over Scientific Decisions
• Industry, OMB Press EPA to Offer Exemptions to Clean Air Standards
• Administration Devalues the Elderly
• OMB Blocks Nationwide Health Warning on Asbestos
• OMB Builds Record of Rollbacks
• OMB Weakens Hazardous Waste Rule
• OMB Guts Marine Diesel Rule
• EPA Issues Weak Rule on Snowmobile Emissions After Earful from Graham
• OMB Guts EPA Standards to Limit Construction Runoff
• White House Subverting Health, Safety & Environmental Protection
• OMB Weakens EPA Proposal to Limit Fish Kills from Power Plants
• OMB Hijacks Clean Air Standards
• NHTSA Issues Weakened Tire Pressure Monitoring Rule
• In Rejecting NHTSA Rule, Graham Shows True Colors

And that's just a fraction of the damage.
