I want to thank my vice-chair for his eloquent opening remarks and questioning and pitch hitting.

What I need from you is really a plan, and I will give you, is 45 days enough to come up with a plan on how we can date specific look at how you are going to implement and improve that quality.

And so, at times where sometimes one program looks ideologically to be aligned more with one side than the other, I can assure you in a bipartisan manner, we are willing to tackle those.

Collect it. I mean, it is the American taxpayers' dollars.

I concur with the ranking member, and so I would ask within 60 days if you can come back to this committee with a plan to do that.

We have heard testimony here. No one has said there is massive individual fraud going on because people are gaming the system in terms of their income, reported income.

And I for one would be willing to commit that every one of those dollars we, in fact, recover I would devote to debt reduction because they are dollars we do not have now.

If you could do that from an intellectual standpoint. Are you willing to do that and get to the committee?

This committee is committed to addressing this issue and working with the executive branch to do so and with our friends at GAO to develop methodologies to better capture the nature of the problem.

Federal agencies have a very active role assigned to them by Congress, and what they do touches the daily lives of the public.

In 2016 alone, 18 regulations were issued for each law passed by Congress.

Agencies have become increasingly noncompliant with the Congressional Review Act.
