ACT Executive Director Morgan Reed testified before the Committee on House Administration yesterday on ways in which the House of Representatives could modernize its communications infrastructure to improve efficiency and productivity in the institution.  The hearing provided an opportunity to demonstrate the ways in which mobile devices, and the apps the run on them, could have a transformative impact on the way in which Congress conducts business.  Reed illustrated the positive impact a few applications could have on the day-to-day business of a Member of Congress such as enabling paperless hearings.
