Really?

Then why does the Federal government not list them as a government agency, nor does it respond on a daily basis to Congress, nor is it subject to congressional action?
It took me 20 seconds to find this:

http://www.whitehouse.gov/government...-agencies.html

As for responding to Congress, I don't know why it's not daily. I do know they speak in front of Congress from time to time as well have independent audits done on them yearly. I'd imagine it's like every other government entity. The Senate has to approve appointees much like they do for other areas of government.

If you have issues with that, you'd have an issue with most of the government agencies we have running. Most are appointed by a President and approved by Congress.
