kraninger, who will be under oath about her policy at omb. other senators will be given a similar opportunity and follow up with questions for the record as we traditionally do. i take the senate's constitutional authority seriously. and am confident that ms. kraninger will be sufficiently vetted. as have our previous nominees for this committee to provide a recommendation to the full senate on this nomination. as a separate matter, many of us have experienced frustration with the bureau in previous years. in april 2016, former bureau director cordray testified before this committee. senators on the committee sent questions for the record that same month. it took director cordray over 16 months to respond to this committee. it's my hope that if confirmed, ms. kraninger will be more accountable to senators on this committee than director cordray was. and i look forward today to a very vigorous debate and a vote on the nominees. senator brown? >> i think the chairman knows that that comparison is speci , specious, but i will get to that in a mo

senator tester: you oversaw the treasury department in your position at the omb. earlier this week, the treasury department and irs announced, it is one of the swampiest decisions i have frankly ever seen. they have made a decision to c4s not tohese report money that they have received, nonprofits. those c4'snations to over $5,000 not to be reported to the irs. you agree with that decision? ms. kraninger: i understand that they published that decision. i did not have a role in it. tester: do you agree with that decision, whether you had a role or not? ms. kraninger: since i have not read the law -- tester: it's going to allow these organizations to hide where they got their money. is that ok? ms. kraninger: i think they look at the law and the requirements -- so let me ask: you this, the number one thing you are going to bring to the bureau is accountability. can you tell me that that decision, how you can actually say i don't have an opinion on exclusivelydeals with transparency? ms. kraninger: senator i can tell you, i am committed senator i'm not even going to

" that is from judge kavanagh. indication as to why we need the documents from the time when he was staff secretary to president bush, it is the words of judge kavanagh himself. know what kind of justice he will be, we need to understand the decisions he has made and the lessons he learned in that most formative job. , wee refuse to try have abdicated our constitutional responsibility. we have a duty. i submit with great respect the request made by the chairman of the judiciary committee involves all of us abdicating that responsibility unless we protest and raise a huon cry and force production of additional documents. this goes beyond any sort of partisan divide. it goes beyond the question of whether any of my colleagues are against judge kavanagh. it is about our constitutional responsibility. judge avenalts as himself has said, in effect, much about judge kavanaugh as he worked in every major issue as counselor to president bush, staff secretary to him, karl ro

members of the administration both in cabinet positions as well as management or your positions like omb and people who have worked on capital and oversight positions. this subject is important i think for our interest in institutions because it is an executive branch position, the inspector general, that is oversight responsibilities within the department helps keeping our departments honest and also improving their capacity to manage and govern but it is also an institution that has responsibility to congress and for the second, for the branch of government, legislative branch to oversee, to properly account for what its laws and spending are taking place, the inspector general is an important institution that contributes to that. we have today is a series of two panels, beginning with dan blair, the leader of this task force. we are brought in to bpc to relive on this work is run much of a work of oversight, congressional oversight in particular. dan has a background on capitol hill, also in the executive branch had and at the national academy of public administration. dan is going to

i was omb director and we had just passed a very significant budget for the president that, by the way, provided $500 billion in deficit reduction over five years. >> what's deficit reduction? we don't remember that. >> and the combination of that plus the bush agreement is what produced a balanced budget. so i was very pleased with the opportunity to work on the budget and work on appropriations bills. you know, actually vice president gore who was a classmate of mine in congress said, i think the president wants you to be chief of staff, and i said, al, i'm much more valuable as omb director. besides that, i kind of knew the chaos in the white house. so the next thing i knew i was being invited up to camp david. so i flew up to camp david and i walked into the presidential cabin and it was president clinton, hillary clinton, al gore and tipper gore and me. i knew i was screwed at that point. and so at the end of that conversation i said, okay, i will take the job, and i had some conditions, but the most important was that you -- i had to establish a chain of command. i remember reque

he was later omb director and chief of staff in the clinton white house. he then served as both cia director and secretary of defense under president obama. he's a man who maintains close ties to senior defense officials in this country and with officials in the intelligence community. >> mr. secretary, thank you very much for being with us tonight, and i'd like to begin by asking you if you take the president at his word that he misspoke in one of the multiple times that he sided with the russians? >> my problem is i'm not sure what this president's word is. i think it was a poor effort at trying to walk back from what he did in helsinki. it was pretty clear when he spoke in helsinki he was saying what he thought, he was saying what he wanted to say, and as a result of the political explosion in this country and reaction to that he tried obviously to try to walk it back, but i thought he did a poor job at it. he was reading it -- when you start to parse words like would or wouldn't, you know, it just doesn't really sound like he is honestly trying to say

he was also previously a white house chief of staff, omb director, budget committee chairman, member of congress, served in a republican white house, democratic white house. any way, i'd run out of time if i keep doing the resume. nice to see you, sir. let me start with a basic question to educate us all. why do you have a security clearance still and what's the purpose of it? >> the former directors of the cia retain a security clearance in the event that the director of the cia wants to call you, either back to washington or call you to brief you on what's going on and try to seek your advice. that's usually the purpose of having that kind of clearance. you know, when i was director, i called upon my former directors, actually brought them to meetings at langley and briefed them, had staff there brief them on sensitive issues and then kind of open it up to get their advice. >> how does that process work when you leave government? so you retain a clearance. do you check in? do you have to file a disclosure form once a year? do people need to know about your finances? what are the ru

. >> does this mean anything up or down about mick mulvaney, the omb chief who was rumored to be next in line, or potentially nick ayers, chief of staff to the vice president? >> ayers has been a bit of a flashpoint in the west wing, some people in trump world have been suspicious of what ambitions he may have for mike pence in the years ahead. i think mulvaney is still well-thought-of by the president. it more reflects the idea of how trump views this position, that he doesn't want necessarily to have a powerhouse in that post, that he likes the idea that kelly can sort of make the trains run on time but is not going to be someone who is going to tell him no. he has surrounded himself, especially in recent months, we've seen all the additions to his staff, people who are willing to say yes to him. and he's going to -- or if they don't, he's going to overrule them anyway. the idea that trump is still trusting himself. yes, bill shine helped with some of the politics, although i think you could argue he got off to a rocky start with his relationship with the media. but trump is going t

the administration sent an interim final rule to omb to respond to the issue at a court case related to the methodology behind how much people pay in and receive from the risk adjustment program. so that is a very positive development. ahip along with blue cross blue shield association submitted a motion in the case to the new mexico judge yesterday also urging -- addressing this uncertainty and prompt resolution. we can get into that a little bit more if you all have questions about that. so really appreciate your time. thanks for hanging with me this afternoon and we welcome your questions. >> thank you, jeanette. and thank you to the other panelists. i'm going to open this up to questions now. there are two microphones in the floor and there is -- there are also green forms that you can fill out and bring up to the -- and people will pick them up. so before we -- before we get -- before we get started, i do want to just ask one question to the panelists, it's a two-part question and it gets at this issue that brian raised and highlighted and jeanette just also underscored is the a

mick mulvaney, director of omb, fought in favor of what the president was saying. i want to play that, get your reaction to it. play the sound bite. >> a lot of economists, supply side economists are extraordinarily frustrated that the fed, which is demand sort of driven analysis will always pump the brakes just when things start to get good. they say they're worried about inflation. that is great. inflation is too much money chasing too few goods. when you're in expansion caused by supply side where we think we are, you tend to see less inflation. david: what do you think? >> practices parity does not cause inflation. bad actions by the federal reserve cause inflation by creating money undermining value of the dollar. so it is in the hands of the fed. that's why, that's why i think the president was perfectly right because when the fed starts talking about overheating, do you feel if you get more money you're overheating in do you feel prosperity means you're overheating? most preposterous thing in the world. the economy is not a machine, it is people. when people

omb. they are their own separate graves. unknown soldiers from different wars are buried in those. two of the unknowns is not exactly correct. it is the tomb of the unknown soldier. the marble itself came from colorado, about a 75 pound block. you can imagine back in those days that transporting a huge solid block of marble was probably a technical or the challenge. you had to dig it out of the mountain, which took about 75 guys, transfer it down without breaking it, put it on horse-drawn carriages, which i am assuming you would need a lot of forces. get it down to the train station for probably a bumpy ride all the way to washington, d.c. where the same people that carved the lincoln statue now had one chance to get this right, because the whole process was going to be difficult if they screw it up. so on the tomb itself on the north and south side, you are going to see inverted wreaths. they represent these six major battle campaigns of world war i. they are inverted to represent mournin

committee, and the senate finance committee that has taken up that cause with the appropriators and omb to make sure these funds are available. now i know this budget year is a little bit better. that's because of a new tax law, not so much of a found religion for giving the irs the type of resources that they need. so i think part of it is to make sure we have the resources. and i think the chairman, ranking member bringing up the challenges that we have today with the changing of our economy. i think senator warner's point there is absolutely on target. we have also the challenges of technology and how we use technology that's a constant change, and the irs has never caught up, and as many of you pointed out, they are trying to deal with current problems, rather than to deal with the underlining capacity to use technology, and then i would add a third, and that is congress changed the law. i'm not saying whether it's good, bad or indifferent, when you change the law, it is going to add a challenge to the irs. they are going to have to deal with that as they are dealing with all these

heinzerling and betsy, what deregulatory efforts are you observing at the agencies you follow, whether it's omb, or epa. other concrete examples of things we are observing now are sort of under -- i don't know -- the pen of deregulation. >> the thing i'm struck -- i follow the environmental protection agency the most and one of the things that i'm struck by beyond individual rules, which we've talked about, are the things that epa is doing to undermine its ability to regulate in the future. so that not only do we have the proposed revocation of the clean power plan, not only do we have a roll back of clean car standards that would have saved everybody money, not only do we have the roll back of individual rules like that, but we have proposals to limit the scientific evidence of the epa can consider, there is a proposal that the office of management and budget right now that is mysteriously, as usual, euphemistically titled, but it has to do with cost/benefit analysis. and so there are these proposals that the agency is putting in place virtually i would say every week that will limit the abili
