Dear Mr. Broyles:

Thank you for your recent email regarding federal employees and tax delinquency.  I appreciate you taking the time to contact me and I’m grateful for the opportunity to respond.

You are right.  This is a serious matter and should be addressed immediately.  Companion bills have been introduced in the House (H.R. 828) and Senate (S. 376) to deal with it.  The House bill was referred to the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, which approved the bill last June.  However, as of this date, the House Leadership has yet to schedule the bill for floor action.

Thanks again for taking the time to reach out to me about this issue.  If you have further questions about other federal matters, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

 
Sincerely,

Walter B. Jones
Member of Congress
