His legislative record includes: Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), which he authored and sponsored through several iterations Consumer Product Safety Act, which he authored and advocated Federal Trade Commission Improvements Act, also known as the Magnuson-Moss Act Deregulatory legislation to establish NASDAQ Consumer protection legislation, including protection against hazards related to automobiles, toys, tires, flammability standards for children's clothing, and toxins. Moss also played an active role in furthering legislative oversight, chairing hearings related to the World Uranium Cartel, FBI foreign security surveillance during the Vietnam War, abuse in federal contracting, GAAP, defensive medicine, pricing and supply of natural gas, passive restraint systems for passenger cars, regulation of pesticides, and amendments to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Congressman Moss is considered the father of modern legislative oversight. On May 1, 1973 Moss was also the first to call for the House to set up procedures for a bill of impeachment during the Watergate scandal.
