"I have been trying since February, again in March, and as recently as last week, to get an answer from the Department on whether or not the Biometric Air Exit Program should be decoupled from further ..."

"You helped draft the legislation, and they put no money in the budget to pay for establishing a biometric air exit program."

"We bumped the program up to a $60,000 cap, and $10,000 a year to try to make the Federal Government as competitive as we can possibly be."

"We thought that was not competitive, that you are not going to be able to draw people, and so we changed how leave is accrued."
