Robert C. Byrd: “I believe strongly in the Constitution and in the power of the purse as being vested here.”

I hope that wherever you can share your views, you will, because it's pretty easy in history to see this.

I cannot support this item unless there are some limitations on it, unless Congress can exercise its power over the purse, as the Constitution provides.

My top priority will be to learn what challenges the DOD IG office needs to address and to ensure the adequacy of resources required to accomplish its mission.

Promoting efficiency and preventing fraud in defense acquisitions will obviously be a high priority.
