We are not going to be accusing anybody; we are just wanting to find out where we can go from here.

This Committee will support you and encourage you to clean house at the GSA.

I think this serious waste and abuse of the taxpayers' money, as well as possible fraud...

I had such strong feelings about it. And I happened to know at the time I was making those, and even to a lesser degree today it's true, that Alassane Ouattara's death squads are still roaming around the streets of Abidjan.

I would like to have described to me the administration's position on entrenched political leaders.

I just returned yesterday from my 123rd African country visit in 15 years, and I'm very interested in what is going on here.

I strongly believe that the process of reconciliation in war-ravaged Cote d'Ivoire can begin only if Simone Gbagbo is given asylum.

I understand you had a letter that went to you, Mr. Tangherlini, that went to the Neely, Shepard, and I guess Peck was the other one, requesting return of funds that should not have been spent.

I think it is totally unfair for people to somehow draw a line there.

It is our constitutional duty. We have oversight responsibility.

It hasn't been easy; I know it has taken an awful lot of time.

My feeling at that time was, even though--regardless of whose election votes you count, it was a close vote.

I do not quite understand. I have heard a lot of views on this that those funds and resources could be used elsewhere more effectively.

The commitment on behalf of the administration to modernize the nuclear weapons complex was a key element in the ratification of the New START treaty.

I believe, having visited with the STRATCOM people, that their requirement is for NNSA to generate up to 80 nuclear pits per year.

I am very much concerned. It harms those of us who are trying to expand this program trying to meet the commitments that are out there.

And were they stimulated because of this problem coming up, or where they already under investigation?

That is the issue. We have this structure now, if that is a goal, and I would concur that it is a great option for the goal, to say let's help people transition out of it, and are we accomplishing that?
