Extension and public and to questions. How do you ensure that practice today . T persist i must say in my experience that no consciencey decision of anybody to come and say the wrong thing to a select the house ofto parliament or Westminster Hall whatever that may be. There have been cases where weve seen over the last 12 months where it be an inquiry where ministers have said things that are not correct. Theres no accusation of misleading or anything there.

I appreciate you keeping an eye on that and you know, everybody being aware of that. I have not yet received an answer for a letter ive written. We had i. C. E. Agent Taylor Johnson in one of our hearings involved in government whistleblowers and the retaliation against them which is really prevalent in the federal government. Its jaw dropping. So director soldana, id appreciate if you would respond to that because now apparently agent johnson has been terminated and the process hasnt really gone through office of special counsel, inspector general.

We can achieve together. Let me thank you again for all of your being here. An evera. I. D. Is evolving institution. For too long, it has been viewed as the u. S. Agency for foreign assistance. Theas long since abandoned notion that the solution to development is assistance alone. Trust me assistance is important. Im cramming for my first Budget Hearing and i will make a very strong case.
