In a large business with big acquisitions, the CEO is getting a report every week, whether it is on time or on budget.

The audit is the check to see if you have got the information systems, if you have got the financial data.

when I see almost $600 million last year in savings that would not have occurred had they not done that, to me that is real change.

We need this information as quickly as we can get it. I do not want to waste money in the process of getting it.

Why not convert the VA system to the military?

We do not want to be the problem. We want to be part of the solution.

Which is ridiculous.

We passed the DATA Act out of here, and the thing that will not change is the requirement to know what you spent and where you spent it and be able to account for it.

This is the first hearing I have been to in a long time that, really, there are a whole lot more positives than there are negatives, and I congratulate you all on it.

one of the reasons I am a big Jeh Johnson fan is I think he is a good manager.

Of all the billions that we have wasted in IT, not once have I ever found where we went after the supplier for non-performance.
