Seems to me that that, Mr. Chairman, is a way that we could provide transparency.

My concern with basically making CRS like GAO, where you post your reports on a Web site, is that it would basically bring all the work that you are doing to a screeching halt.

I hope they will do so in a timely fashion.

And we have the ability to terminate their contract for cause?

I would just request, respectfully, that if we could lengthen this meeting, because I don't think the next meeting is going to be quite as long.

It is like charging for toilet paper. And we certainly wouldn't want to do that.

These are essential items that are just as essential as toilet paper is, and it is absolutely a necessity to remedy this situation.

I know that some might be concerned about my going there. But if you are not a woman, it is tough to understand that when you need a feminine hygiene product you need one immediately.

We might disagree on the merits of the cases, Mr. Chairman, that is not my issue.

Mr. Chairman, I did have other questions for the remaining officers. And I would think there would be more questions for this group than there is going to be for the Library and for the Copyright Office.

And that is my concern as well, is we need CRS to be responsive.

I am getting extremely frustrated. I don't think I am getting veracity in the responses to my question.

We are not securing all the garages. So if I am a terrorist, I am going to go to the garage that is not secure.

I look forward to the GAO recommendations, but I remain concerned.

My specific question is, do you think there needs to be reform to the way the Capitol Police Board functions and makes decisions in order for us to ensure that we don't have to rely on you being willing to sit down with us in a meeting?

So if that was something that this subcommittee chose to review, I could only talk to you about it, to the Chief, and maybe the Architect of the Capitol, who, by the way, also sits on the Police Board, which most people don't realize.

It is probably the best buy we have got in the entire budget for peace and security.

How much do you think it would cost us to build and maintain a military base in the Middle East?
