Secretary Rollins to Give Announcement at USDA

Published | Video Starts at 20:08

It is been here for 50 or 60 years. At one point it was the largest office building in the world. I think almost 7,000 offices in this building. But It is pretty much sitting empty today while it's draining all of those resources. But yes, Stephen, I'll let you answer specific questions. So while this is the first public announcement of what we've been doing, we have not been resting on our laurels after the secretary issued her reorganization memorandum. (20:08–20:14)

CLAIM
