Vern McKinley is known as the "first Ron Paul Republican". But he's also known for his policy work through Cato Institute. Work that has found it's way to Mises.org, and Ron Paul's written testimony.
Here are some samples,

Of course, sunsetting won't always kill the laws or agencies it's aimed
at. Even with widespread criticism from congressmen and the General
Accounting Office, as Vern McKinley detailed in the pages of
Regulation, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission managed to
continually survive four-year sunsetting deadlines (with staffing
falling right before deadlines, to show the CFTC's lean-meanness, and
rising immediately thereafter).
WRITTEN TESTIMONY OF RON PAUL ON H.R. 1121
THE FINANCIAL FREEDOM ACT OF 1997
BEFORE THE HOUSE COMMITTEE ON BANKING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 11, 1998

"The [Community Reinvestment Act] utilizes fairly vague terms such as
‘convenience and needs’ and ‘meet the credit needs of the local
community,’ and then explicitly delegates to the individual agencies
the power to define these terms, while using the threat of denying
applications to assure compliance with the agency-created definition,"
according to Vern McKinley, who worked at the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board and the Resolution Trust
Corporation, in Regulation magazine (1994 Number 4). He states clearly,
"The CRA should be repealed. Altering the underlying regulation merely
leaves the way open for future administrations to utilize the statute
as a government credit allocation scheme."
