Chairman Johnson remarks at HSGAC Hearing on federal govt waste & red tape

Published | Video Starts at 01:39

This should not be this difficult. But being brief for this hearing, it seems like there's two basic problems. First of all, we don't have the information. You know, 275,000 buildings are owned by the federal government, but we really don't have an idea what's the full value of that. How many are being fully utilized, how many being underutilized. So you actually need information to solve a problem. (01:39–01:46)

CLAIM
