My amendment would do one thing: It will reduce the salary of the special assistant to the director of programming at Voice of America to $1. This amendment follows an internal investigation which concluded the special assistant to the director of programming at Voice of America had misused Federal taxpayer dollars and lied on her resume. She was fired under the previous administration and then rehired at the beginning of this administration. Mr. Chair, I submit to you that people who misuse taxpayer dollars have no business being paid by taxpayers, and they should be fired. We need to get rid of corruption in our government. My amendment would do just that. I am requesting to reduce her salary to $1. Mr. Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
