Mr. Dodaro, is it fair to say that if the sequester kicks in, that we will have less accountability and more potential waste of taxpayer dollars?

Oh, thank you. Okay.

So in that same line of questioning, the budget request for the House highlights a change that we made to Federal workers benefits.

It is hard for me to understand. I mean, it is 2013 and we have been having this conversation for 5 years.

Can I ask you a question?

But is it realistic to say that fall of 2013 is no longer realistic?

Things seem to have definitely improved from the last administration to this one when it comes to the relationship you have with your employees and their union representation, which is great.

If sequestration is not turned off, then, you know, we are talking about baseline reductions here.

What is the $10 million worth of value that we get from Open World?

You know more than most that we are operating in a time of great uncertainty with the prospect of sequestration the day after tomorrow.

That would be great. And did your review look at duplication with other agencies or programs that are similar to Open World?

So basically the process to transforming into a more digital agency will stall?

I believe we provide a good return on the investment.

We really are asking them to do more with less.

Assuming the sequester remains in place and we are not able to replace it with a balanced approach to deficit reduction that is more reasonable, what do you think you are going to need for overtime in fiscal year 2014 with the current door…

There was great support, bipartisan support, to fund the project.

GAO still is utilizing your pay-for-performance system.

It is the ultimate in being pennywise and pound foolish to cut GAO.

The impacts of these cuts rear their head many years after they actually happen.

Ms. Wasserman Schultz. Mr. Chairman, I just wanted to ask that for the record because it is an innovative, important issue.

Congratulations to your team, working with the Metro Police, in getting all that sorted out.

I don't believe that this staffing level is commensurate with the challenges facing our Federal Government right now.

I mentioned in my opening that I was told in 2011 that the radio modernization program project was on schedule to be completed in spring of 2012.

So we have got to stay on pace in the Historic Preservation Trust Fund, or if we don't, then the project will be delayed?

But still, it is important to know that the pay grade is lower as a result of the budget challenges.
