I have so many questions, I am going to have to submit some for you to answer in writing.

National defense is the number one priority of our Government, and Congress is often reluctant to deny money that military leaders say is greatly needed.

I am concerned by a finding in a recent report issued by your office titled, quote, 'High-Income Taxpayers Who Owe Delinquent Taxes Could Be More Effectively Prioritized,' end of quote.

today I want to discuss an unfortunate trend that has grown over the last year. Since March of 2020, the United States has been battling COVID-19. We have lost over half a million Americans because of the virus. But I am talking about…
