The U.S. House of Representatives has taken one more step toward transparency with the inaugural publication of an electronic version of the House Statement on Disbursements.  This is a quarterly public report of all receipts and expenditures for Members of Congress, Committees, Leadership, House Officers and Offices of the House of Representatives.  So now you can more easily see all the details on salaries, travel, and other expenditures.

You can access the House information as one large 10MB PD F, or in three separate not so large files: Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3

For more information on the statement of disbursements, see the House website here .

And for information on Senate office expenditures, get your 2011 calendar out because the Senate isn't planning on making a comparable electronic version available until at least 2011.
