The president should direct the Office of Management and Budget to identify the public’s transparency rights and require agencies to post these rights in government offices and use them in agency communications with the public (e.g., public meetings). A simple straightforward notification of the public's right to know could have benefits for both public awareness and mindfulness of public officials. The list of rights compiled by OMB should include key rights afforded in statutes and the Constitution.
