Mr. Speaker, over the past few weeks, DOGE has been hard at work locating wasteful spending and improving the efficiency of the Federal Government, something that has been a priority for me during my time in Congress. For many years, I have worked in a bipartisan manner to highlight and target government waste, fraud, and abuse. Over 4 years ago, my legislation, the Taxpayers Right-to-Know Act, passed the House and became law. This bipartisan legislation required the Office of Management and Budget to publish an online inventory of each agency's Federal programs to streamline duplicative programs and prevent wasteful spending on ineffective programs. Last year, the OMB officially launched the Federal Program Inventory, representing a vital first step in increasing transparency and providing us with the tools necessary to eliminate government waste. Along with OMB Director and DOGE, I remain committed to ensuring that taxpayers know how the government is spending their hard-earned money. ____________________
