On the recordMarch 28, 2023
I would just say, in response to my friend's point about there being 60-plus reporting requirements already in place, that is part of the problem. When everybody is in charge, nobody is in charge. Currently, the oversight requirements are spread across three different Agencies of the inspector general. The State Department, the Defense Department, and USAID each would have a little piece of this-- dozens of disparate requirements. Let's unify it. We have done this before--one inspector general, one staff, one set of requirements. Make it public. Give the American people the accountability they deserve. I urge a ``yes'' vote. I yield the floor. Vote on Amendment No. 40 The PRESIDING OFFICER. The question is on agreeing to the amendment. Mr. MENENDEZ: I ask for the yeas and nays. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there a sufficient second? There appears to be a sufficient second. The clerk will call the roll. The senior assistant legislative clerk called the roll.
