Jody Hice actually said...

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We have got a long ways to go to plug the hole, but I appreciate you holding this hearing.

I certainly cannot overemphasize the importance of this whole issue to me personally and my constituents.

I certainly regret that a few political appointees at the Department have taken advantage of public service for their own personal gain.

It is extremely important for the Inspector General to report its findings to Congress in a timely manner.
