On the recordMarch 8, 2000
during my time in Congress I have tried to identify and stop wasteful spending. That is why I am pleased to rise today as a cosponsor of H.R. 1827, and support a bill that will stop overpayments to vendors by the Federal Government. The Government Waste Corrections Act requires executive agencies to conduct recovery auditing to identify and collect millions of dollars in overpayments. We all know there are many cases of government waste. H.R. 1827 is vital to collecting back overpayments that otherwise would never have been detected. We have a responsibility to keep our government accountable, cut excessive spending, and terminate the unnecessary use of taxpayer dollars. We can cut excessive spending and reduce our deficit so that in the future our children and grandchildren will not have to bear the excessive burdens of our debts.
