I find it totally and wholly unacceptable that we don't have the adequate control on something so precious and so visible, so close to the White House as the Lincoln Memorial.

We can't even take care of what we have now.

How do you account for the other 600 weapons?

So how many weapons, then, does the U.S. Park Police have? What is the current inventory?

That is a policy we need to revisit.

If President Obama wants gun control, he should start with the United States Park Police.

So you have 2,500 weapons. Why that number? Why 2,500?

But they are in dispute. Somebody is wrong.

Chairman Chaffetz, this concludes my testimony today. I would be happy to answer any questions you or other members of the subcommittees may have.

The Honorable Jason Chaffetz, a Member of Congress from the State of Utah, Opening Statement.

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