On the recordApril 6, 2006
This was letter one, December 29th of 2005, the Secretary came into the office days before the New Year and said please raise the debt limit because we are about to run out of money. February 16, he got a little nervous and said, Listen, the Federal retirement program, we are not going to be able to make the payments. This went to Mr. Spratt, our ranking member. Again on the 6th of March, 2006, it is almost like we are having problems and we may not be able to pay the light bill, in so many words. Those were written by Secretary Snow, appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate.
