Rep. Burgess Asks Kathleen Sebelius To Cut Him A Check For Deficit Reduction
BURGESS: Who has been nominating to that board and is awaiting confirmation?
SEBELIUS: No one
BURGESS: And why is that?
SEBELIUS: Well, I think Congressman, the board is not activated until 2014, and I know that the President is in discussion with a number of potential nominees and I know that he’s consulted with various members of Members of Congress, but it will be up and running at the time.
BURGESS: So can we keep that $15 million that’s due October 1st because you apparently don’t need it…
SEBELIUS: We have no intention of using the money before there is a board up and running.
BURGESS: Well, who does the check go to?
SEBELIUS: I don’t think there is a check, there is money available that we would draw down.
BURGESS: Can we have that money back? We’re in a debt crisis, you may have heard.
