Smithsonian Compensation Story: The Source Materials

I’ve just come across links to “Related Documents,” in a sidebar to Sunday’s Washington Post story about the Inspector General’s audit of the Smithsonian Institution’s compensation of its top official, Lawrence Small. (I had provided you with the link to the printer-friendly version in my post on Tuesday, which didn’t include the sidebar.)
Now you can peruse such engrossing primary sources as:
—The Inspector General’s mildly admonitory “confidential” letter to the Smithsonian’s board
—Sen. Charles Grassley’s harsh letter to Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts Jr., chairman of the Smithsonian’s board.
The Post article also links to three other documents, including Small’s employment agreement.
Also now linked, adjacent to the Post’s story, are three blogs reacting to it. First on this list: CultureGrrl’s contrarian analysis.
