And as you know want that is something that 501 c 3 s already possess. All of the measures that i just mentioned are included in the taxpayer bill of rights. And i hope that we can count on your cooperation on these measures and others that the committee might consider to restore the credibility and integrity of your agency. I say all that, ask those questions. But to the degree you can comment on those, commissioner and then if you can cant, well certainly welcome that for the record.

In early august, the finance committee released the final report on the bipartisan inquiry we undertook to examine the irs processing of applications for tax exempt status. Our investigation looked back at the period between 2010 and 2013. The committee reviewed 1. 5 million pages of emails and documents and conducted interviews with more than 30 irs officials. The finance Committee Inquiry colleagues was the only bipartisan inquiry on either side of capitol hill. What we found on a bipartisan basis was alarming bureaucratic dysfunction.
