My anger and frustration have finally gotten to a boiling point.

To say I am disappointed would be an understatement. I have been outraged in my district, angry.

You are not allowed to use your office for personal gain.

We asked for one page. Obviously there was no information on there on this Las Vegas scandal or any of the other trips that were planned.

Did you have information that would show you the budget for Mr. Neely for Region 9, for the Western Regional Conference or all of the conferences?

I have been requesting the information.

So the question is, if it wasn't in there, why are you hiding it from us?

Why are you hiding the information from this committee and from the American public?

Well, you have managed to filibuster long enough to get through my entire time here.

This gets to a bigger question of the culture in GSA.

It seems like they have it backwards. They have to have a legitimate business reason.

If you have to travel, it is permissible if a family member stays in your hotel room.

To plan travel for a birthday is totally impermissible.

I want to just bring back those emails that I was talking about.

This certainly is not only a dark day for GSA but it is a dark day for the United States Government.

I have been asking for information about this budget since day 1.

Is there any reason that GSA, all agencies of Government, is there any lack of space that we have right now that would not allow all agencies of Government to hold some type of conference in a public building?

It does seem like GSA has been stonewalling us for quite some time. Why has it taken so long to get this basic information?
