So Much for 'No Comment'

In a widely distributed statement that was sent to many news organizations, including GovExec, GSA said it would be "inappropriate" for the agency to comment on an investigation by House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Henry Waxman, D-Calif., into the activities of GSA Administrator Lurita Doan. Apparently that admonition does not apply to Doan herself. In an e-mail to Federal Computer Week she said she is "delighted to have the opportunity to set the record straight and provide a full and complete record to Congressman Waxman and the committee, and refute these scurrilous allegations."
