Well, thank you. Thank you both. Boy, you were right on the dollar there.

I would like to welcome everyone to the second of our fiscal year 2017 budget hearings for the various agencies under the jurisdiction of the Legislative Branch Appropriations Subcommittee.

This funding request supports an increase in FTEs from 3,005 to 3,100, which would continue progress towards GAO's multiyear plan to rebuild its staff capacity to an optimal level of 3,250 FTEs.

What about in the area of subsidies in health insurance for underreporting of income? Have you done a study on that?

I would like to make that a priority obviously. We all want to feel like we are paying our fair share, and when we hear that many people are not, it is frustrating to the American public.

Can you give me the status on that?

I mean, that is another frustration, I think---- not just for the taxpayer but certainly for those of us policymakers to feel like you are just loading and duplicating on not really creating the efficiencies.

How is that going? Are you getting as many customers as you thought? Are you collecting fees?

I think that is the frustration that we feel sometimes on this side of the dais, that we feel like we are going in a direction that could actually result in saving the taxpayers dollars if we are looking equally at both sides.

I think that is going to be a large figure as well.

Thank you both, and the hearing record will remain open for 7 days allowing members to submit statements and/or questions.
