“I will be brief, just two points: Number one, it is not redundant. If it were so, the National Whistleblower Center and The Institute of Internal Auditors wouldn't see a need for it, and neither would the report that we have now placed in the Record. It is needed, and certainly we need to support it. Secondly, in terms of costs, the cost for implementing this bill will be offset by the increase in fees that the board will collect from the accounting boards for which they have oversight. So there will be no additional costs. It will be offset. Madam Speaker, it is needed, and I urge adoption of this bill. Mr. McHENRY. Madam Speaker, I am prepared to close.”
