The pandemic has accelerated the way people use technology to bank, obtain a loan, and make payments.

I believe that an area of vital concern to the House as an institution is having a strong oversight capability.

Again, Dr. Fauci, I would like to thank you for your courage and your integrity.

How do you implement lessons learned with other oversight roles?

I think that one of the most pernicious and really tragic contaminants that we see affecting disadvantaged communities is heavy metals.

As Congresswoman Speier mentioned, in most cases, DOD IG hands retaliation allegations over to local or command IGs who have the least amount of independence and experience in handling what are often highly complex investigations.

We are talking about IGs.

I and a number of other of my colleagues were absolutely disappointed by the withdrawal of the United States from the Open Skies Treaty.

I introduced the Open Skies Stability Act to let our allies know that we in Congress felt that way about the Open Skies Treaty.

So you have fired, what was the number again?

What kind of training does your Service provide Commanders about their relationship with their respective IG?

What this suggests to me is that the DOD IG is woefully understaffed, and, in fact, when you have the Air Force and the Navy with more staff than the DOD Inspector General, I would suggest we have a problem.

To call the component IGs in particular IGs is a misnomer...

Who/how is legal advice provided to the Service IGs?

What was your total appropriated budget for FY20 and FY21? What were your budget requests for these years?

How many contacts do you receive per year?

How many personnel do you have, and what is the breakdown between enlisted personnel, officers, and DOD civilian employees and contractors?

And it is now 4:00, so I am going to call the Subcommittee on Military Personnel to order.
