 A recent example of an important JAS situation was that of the controversy around the federal loan guarantees to the now-bankrupt Solyndra.In this situation, as in many other situations that reach the presidential office, there are many sources of diverse advice that the president and other decision-makers receive.For example, both the director of the National Economic Council and the Treasury secretary advised the president that they believed the selection guidelines were not thorough enough and might allow for funding of unnecessary, risky companies.
