Madam Speaker, I rise to talk about the corruption, the fraud, the waste within GSA, an agency that has nearly a $10 billion slush fund that they hide from the American taxpayers every single year. Today I'm going to be introducing a bill that will request transparency on an annual basis, show an annual audit so the American taxpayers can see exactly where this waste is going and hold this agency accountable. We're going to hold another hearing on the issue to make sure that the waste stops, and that we actually start selling off some of the buildings that are sitting vacant right now today, an opportunity for Republicans and Democrats to actually come together, just getting rid of waste, and at the same time that we sell the properties and redevelop the things that we aren't using, put people back to work. ____________________
