Frank Lautenberg: “Well said, Mr. Secretary. Thank you.”

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

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

Identity theft is a serious and growing problem in the United States and a daunting challenge for the IRS.

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