“First, I would like to thank Subcommittee Chairman Carter and Ranking Member Roybal-Allard, along with the House Homeland Security Committee and all their staff for the hard work on this amendment. Mr. Chairman, I am proud to rise in support of the amendment offered by my colleague and friend, Mr. Fitzpatrick. The amendment restores critical funding to the DHS Office of Inspector General so it could meet its statutory mission. As a subcommittee chairman who oversees components of DHS, my duty is to first get the Department the resources it needs, and secondly, ensure these resources are used honestly and efficiently. DHS Office of Inspection General helps protect our resources by rooting out fraud, waste, and abuse by investigating and prosecuting misfeasance and by exposing process inefficiencies. I respectfully request that my colleagues support Mr. Fitzpatrick's good government amendment.”
