A couple of decades ago support for child care fell under conservative attack. At the time, the argument went that offering low cost or free child care to working families would create an incentive for women to leave their homes and their…

I thank the gentleman for yielding time to me. Mr. Speaker, it is a brand-new year, but you wouldn't know it if you look at what we will be voting on this week. Across the investigations of three separate committees in this body, eight…

I simply wanted to, you know, echo our desire to be able to work together to have the information we need to represent the people that sent us here to represent their interests.

So my last question has to do with the fact that you were overpaying for equipment----

Currently, FPS manages a vehicle fleet of approximately 1,100 vehicles at a cost of $10.7 million dollars.

So there has been this discussion about 250 excess or surplus vehicles which were characterized as being excessive.

The Department of Homeland Security Office of the Inspector General recently investigated FPS' management of its vehicle fleet and concluded that FPS is not managing its vehicle fleet effectively.

Thank you, Chairman Perry, for holding today's hearing.
