If the grant is given to them and those dollars can be used after January the 1st, 2015, that's contrary to the law.

The State of Vermont has had some conversations about the cost overruns that they're experiencing this year on the exchange.

So is that every month we'll get those after that? Will it be every 2 months?

The CBO number, I think, originally for the end of this year was 13 million. Is that correct?

Will we just get monthly snapshots from here on out?

Obviously in many agencies there are more grants than there are contracts that are going out now, so that's pretty important that we get the grant/loan part of this as well consistent within obviously the DATA Act making that same request…

So that should be completed by May 15 as well, trying to get that definition across the agencies so they have a consistent understanding of that word?

I thank the gentleman from Texas. Mr. Speaker, this vote is not an acknowledgement of the President's plan because we have not seen the plan. Bombing some of ISIS' facilities and training 5,000 foreign fighters is not a plan. If ISIS is a…

A week ago, the President asked this House to include very narrow language in the continuing resolution that would allow the United States military to train and equip the Free Syrian Army individuals to defend themselves. I can understand…

I don't like it when I read reports from the Attorney General when he writes back to the inspector general and says, I have determined that providing the OIG with access to it is helpful to me, and so I'm going to turn this over because…

I think that's a reasonable question to ask any agency that doesn't have investigative intelligence responsibilities.

I have a real issue when any agency steps in and says, I know Congress has required all these pages to be turned over, but we've discussed it as an agency and we're not going to turn it over.

The specific goal of this hearing is to be able to determine how do we keep this from happening again.

If I were to ask most Americans, why do we have the Endangered Species Act?, just about all of them would say, so we can protect endangered species and increase those population numbers. But then you ask the question of each specific…

But an individual hospital may get a much, much higher rate?

I think there is a way to be able to do financial transparency of how it is being spent but understanding the care in the decision making.

The difficulty is are we getting accurate, matchable data that we can actually line up what is happening in individual locations with what is being paid so we know what a provider is being paid.

Americans deserve an efficient and effective government that works for them.

To the extent of that these two hospitals received about ten times more in that supplemental than my state did in total for DSH payments.

The issue is, it sat out there for a while. We know the issues on DOD, they can't fulfill an audit.

Much of what we have talked about today is transparency of information coming back to the Federal Government.

I just have the belief that there are people in individual States that actually care for their people, not just the people in Washington, D.C.

I actually applaud the high risk list that GAO puts out. We should use it as guidance as we review various agencies.

Our solemn responsibility is to hold government accountable to taxpayers because taxpayers have a right to know what they are get from the government.

If that information is available, that would be very much appreciated.
