and the functionality. why not get a different backup system? the chief counsel s office at that time determined they had everything that the outside contractor would provide. at that time, it was possible that somebody could have decided we need a better backup system for the whole agency. two years ago, the irs tried to figure out what would it cost to have a better e-mail agency. here s what a lot of people pointed out to us. sar baens oxley, you re familiar where that law, private companies, they have to retain e-mail data for five years. you re familiar with that, right. i m familiar with sarbanes. it s a criminal penalty if they don t. why wouldn t public companies have to do that, why wouldn t the can irs have to retain important e-mails for five years as opposed to six months? they were recycling their hard drives every six months or so. that sounds suspicious. the irs process is every important official record is supposed to be printed out.
have you drawn money to help with the fix? that s not aca relateded. as you know, it s been two years since we ve had a budget at hhs. we also have not had at the president s requested implementation budget authorized by the congress each of those years, we have used not only resources internally but i do have legal transfer authority that i ve used, and a nonrecurring expense fund. we will get you all the details of that. so the answer is yes, there is some non-aca money being transferred and used? there is money specifically designed for either outreach and education so the health centers have hired education outreach people as part of their outreach for health personnel. i would say it s definitely related cause to get expanded health care pa thank you. mr. sarbanes. thank you, mr. chairman.
