Frank Lautenberg: “Thank you very much for your testimony and for bringing us that video.”

Do you consider IRS's current strategy for dealing with identity theft and refund fraud to be adequate? No.

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

I am concerned that with our budget difficulties we will continue to see declining budgets for Defense Nuclear Non-Proliferation activities in favor of Weapons Activities.

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