So it is getting worse.

Mr. Chairman, I have other questions for Chief Morse, but in deference to my colleagues, I will yield to them at this time.

But it would seem to me that given the responsibilities within the Office of Compliance, to have a good, solid 21 full-time employees is pretty good.

I think that would be important to take a look at those and determine if we need more folks now in the IT and tech support.

the Speaker has kind of upped the ante even further, bringing it to a 50 percent reduction by 2017.

Oh, there was a fair amount of controversy I guess it was last year, it may have been 2 years ago, when we purchased renewable energy credits.

I would agree it seems extraordinarily high, and I think it is important that we fully understand and appreciate all that is going into this.

The amount that is in this year's budget request is $15 million.

Appreciate you responding to that.

If we have got 85 that are outstanding that need to be resolved, it is one thing to go after the low-hanging fruit.

What are we doing, and how much are we spending?

So there is the ability to work through these?

Last year, GAO recommended that the Library develop a digital strategy.

Now do I understand correctly that with your request, you are seeking another 25 employees?

Well, Mr. Chairman, I know that the GAO has been closely involved in reviewing these administrative-- not only the administrative problems, but some of the staffing issues.

Let us just patch the roof until we can really address the bigger problem.

We have set a goal through EISA for a 30 percent reduction by 2015.

I think it is important that we exercise fiscal discipline and that we lead by example.

What would that mean to you in terms of your budget and your priorities if you were told you got about 8 percent increase over last year?

I strongly support the work of Open World.

Do you have flexibility to either work with the Office of the Architect here to not issue that citation?

Everything is unusual.

Do you think you are going to have a clean report again this year?

Will we see a leveling off in our utility costs, do you think?

I have heard concerns from other Members that they feel that on some of the staff-led tours, the staff members have been treated in a discourteous manner.
