Identifier: CAC_CC_002_6_35_10_0006

Scope and Contents

The document is a response from Member of Dick Armey to a concerned individual about the federal government's spending on retired Speakers of the House. Armey believes that while it is reasonable to provide a retired Speaker with an office to finish public work, the current policy of indefinite public funding for their office should be limited to two years. He highlights the severe budget situation and the need to reduce spending on programs, including funding for retired Speakers' offices. Armey thanks the individual for contacting him.
