Some of them testified that they were paid a visit by the FBI. Specifically, Catherine Engelbrecht in Texas said she was visited by the FBI.

I thank the gentleman for yielding, and thank you for your leadership on this most fundamental, most basic of issues. You think about the folks who started this place, this experiment in freedom we call America. In Europe they said you…

We need to deal with this but not total amnesty.

Based on everything I have seen, according to Mr. Cummings, the case is solved.

You've had a month now to investigate. This has been the biggest story in the country...

Have you reviewed the Inspector General's report regarding the IRS scandal?

The Federal Government wouldn't operate without these individuals.

These businesses get the revenue they need to create jobs and grow the economy, while the government gets access to some of the most innovative companies in our supply chain.

Supporting small businesses is especially important during this critical time as agencies strive to meet mission needs with increasingly tight budgets.

It is imperative that our acquisition processes enable us to get the highest quality goods and services for the lowest possible cost.

Bundling, as was said in the previous panel, is pretty clearly defined as taking two or more contracts that have been or could be performed by small businesses and putting them together into a contract that is no longer suitable for small…

Is it appropriate for Holly... to collect the data and give it to the Inspector General?

Is it typically important for the investigator to have one of the central players in this... sit in on all the interviews?

We always want to increase both the quality and the ineffectiveness of our training.

I believe the first--one of the panelists said it best where strategic sourcing is absolutely a good thing, and as I believe your statement said, or but as your statement said, it is a tool.

If it is used well, it is a good thing. If it is used not well, it will not be a good thing.

OMB guidance, which we put out last December, does clearly say the vehicles that agencies create and that the Strategic Sourcing Leadership Council approves should be mandated when appropriate.

This is the most important issue in front of the country the last 6 weeks, you don't know who's heading up the case, who the lead investigator is?

From an overall perspective, I think that the goals of saving the taxpayer money and increasing our utilization of small business are absolutely mutually reinforcing.

I'm asking basic questions about the investigation, like who's heading it up, and you can't tell me that.

I am the chairman of the Strategic Sourcing Leadership Council.
