CLYBURN: "And I think that that’s something the new administration may need to take a look at. My committee, however, is to provide oversight. When Congress makes the expenditures, as they’ve done here, my select committee is to take a hard look at how the money is being spent to make sure that it’s being done efficiently, effectively and equitably. That’s what we’re doing. And it was in the course of carrying out these responsibilities is when we saw these — or heard the testimonies and now seen some documents that indicate that what the White House was saying was totally different from what was going on. And we have found that to be the case in other instances as well. They were sending information out to state governments saying one thing, while at the national level they were saying just the opposite. That’s the way this administration has operated. And so what we’re doing in the Select Committee is having the public take a look-see at what this administration is doing and hopefully we’ll do what we can to correct it."
