How is the department helping the IAEA overcome these challenges?

I hope you will talk about how we sustain something like the Mission Innovation commitment, a commitment to doubling investment in the clean energy transition.

I hope you will discover Delaware to be an open and supportive place that I hope will enter into some public-private collaborations.

Is this something about which you think we ought to be concerned?

I appreciate your strong and bipartisan leadership of the subcommittee.

I am interested in taxpayer assistance, particularly to low income taxpayers.

You have identified in a report the single greatest challenge to the IRS being information security, sort of the top management challenge.

A bill that I supported, the Digital Accountability and Transparency Act, was designed to improve the quality and the transparency of Federal financial data.

I am troubled. Earlier today there were news reports just breaking in recent hours that the Iranians have launched a whole other range of ballistic missiles.

I believe that a concerted effort on the part of the Commissioner, the Secretary, and the Congress will help address this problem.

Thank you, Senator Boozman. Just to follow up on that point, these roughly 5,000 victims have paid out something like $30 million, $26 to $30 million?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Thank you, Commissioner Koskinen, for your testimony today and your service.

Those who comply, those who voluntarily meet their legal duties, honest taxpayers, end up paying more.

There is a significant tax gap in the United States by some accounts, something like $350 billion goes uncollected.

I just wanted to commend the administration for placing tough export restrictions on the Chinese telecom giant, ZTE, and continuing to enforce our laws.

I think he should be confirmed. It is one of the most important counterterrorism positions in our Government.

We continue to have serious concerns about vigorous enforcement of sanctions against Iran that remain in place.

I have seen firsthand how destructive payday lending can be.

I look forward to hearing from Commissioner Koskinen about his priorities for these requested funds as well as how the IRS is directing funds that were made available for fiscal year 2016.

Mahan Air continues to be a key means by which Iran is providing support to Hezbollah.

I would imagine many other Senate offices similarly hear from constituents with concerns.

I am anxious to hear how we can do more to optimize service delivery rates.

I think we can and should take more aggressive action against them.

As you know, we recently voted to strengthen sanctions against North Korea.

I welcome the opportunity to work with you again, Chairman Boozman, and to an open exchange of ideas as our fiscal year 2017 process moves forward.
