Inspector general roth, you talked about the port added collection information sharing that resulted in Human Trafficking coming across our borders. I appreciate you keeping an eye on that and you know, everybody being aware of that. I have not yet received an answer for a letter ive written. We had i. C. E. Agent Taylor Johnson in one of our hearings involved in government whistleblowers and the retaliation against them which is really prevalent in the federal government. Its jaw dropping. So director soldana, id appreciate if you would respond to that because now apparently agent johnson has been terminated and the process hasnt really gone through office of special counsel, inspector general.

We can achieve together. Let me thank you again for all of your being here. An evera. I. D. Is evolving institution. For too long, it has been viewed as the u. S. Agency for foreign assistance. Theas long since abandoned notion that the solution to development is assistance alone. Trust me assistance is important. Im cramming for my first Budget Hearing and i will make a very strong case. But weve also learned that how many dollars we spent is measure of our commitment nor the means by which we measure our success. Because we have adjusted to a new landscape. Founded 50i. D. Was years ago, donor governments were responsible for three quarters of all finance flowing to the developing words. No we account for less than 10 . U. S. A. I. D. Is acted on the fact that it take multiple streams of capital to finance sustained development and we can make much more of our system as the senator has said.

Many children today have cell phones which function the same as computers. This is why its vital that we work even more closely with our nations schools to help educate them about the dangers on the internet and the real world.

We have started to use this new authority to expand our programs to protect more children.
