In March 2010, Senator Gregg also was appointed to President Obama’s national commission on fiscal responsibility. This bipartisan commission, which is modeled after legislation first introduced by Senator Gregg and Senator Kent Conrad (D-ND), is responsible for developing recommendations that will help balance the budget and achieve fiscal sustainability over the long term.
