An Ombudsman for the United States

Abstract: An imposing amount of comment on the Ombudsman, mostly favorable, has appeared in the press, in periodicals, and in books during the past four years. The introduction of a bill by Congressman Reuss of Wisconsin was the occasion for hearings and debate. This essay notes the arguments in favor of a national Ombudsman and those arguments opposed. But it seeks to illuminate the greater questions. Do we need an Ombudsman in the United States? And if the answer is in the affirmative, how should the office be organized, what would the Ombudsman do, and what kind of person should be appointed to fill this role?
