On the recordNovember 2, 1999
it is with a feeling of disappointment that I come to the floor today. What's bothering me is a disturbing report I am releasing today on the Office of the Inspector General, or IG, at the Department of Defense, DOD. This is about a report prepared by the Majority Staff of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Administrative Oversight and the Courts, of which I am the Chairman. I have always had such great respect for the DOD IG. I have always thought that we could rely on that office to be fair and independent and thorough, and above all, honest. In the past, I always felt like I could trust the DOD IG's judgment. This report, Mr. President is disturbing. The evidence in this report questions the credibility of the IG's investigative process. And it raises questions about the judgment of the Acting IG, Mr. Donald Mancuso. It is a report on the Oversight Investigation of allegations of misconduct at the Defense Criminal Investigative Service, or DCIS.
