On the recordJune 27, 1996
on that score, it was the Subcommittee on Aviation and prior to that the Subcommittee on Investigations and Oversight of the Committee on Public Works and Transportation that uncovered the bogus parts issue in great depth and had documentation on it, brought it up with the IG who said, ``Oh, we are on to this issue also. We have some criminal investigations underway.'' This is over 2 years ago. Three years ago prior to that our committee was onto this issue. I cast no aspersions on the IG, but much of what the IG's office has uncovered and has taken credit for the appropriate and responsible committees of the house and the Senate have already been focused on.
