Frank Lautenberg: “Our nation is fortunate to have Greg sitting in the Chairman's seat, because he is a proven leader.”

The IRS must be funded at a level that enables it to provide necessary taxpayer assistance and to enforce the laws.

Thank you for scheduling this hearing to consider the re-nomination of Dr. Allison Macfarlane to be Chairwoman of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

The requested 6 percent cut to FinCEN is a concern.

I believe it is time for this subcommittee and others to give serious thought to the way the IRS is funded.
