Denis McDonough: “I have great respect for CBO, but I can not speak for them.”

You and your fellow Senators have kept the heat on and the delegation have kept the heat on us.

we are continually looking for ways to increase our partnership, and the Federal portion of that partnership, either through per diem, or through grants as we develop new facilities.

You have my commitment to implement those recommendations.

I pray to God the next time I appear before you that we have reduced this number, because if we don't, we won't meet our hiring targets.
