(D) 17 separate Homeland Security pre-
paredness grant programs that spent $37 bil-
lion between fiscal year 2011 and 2012; 
(E) 13 programs, 3 tax benefits, and one 
loan program to reduce diesel emissions; and 
(F) 94 different initiatives run by 11 dif-
ferent agencies to encourage ‘‘green building’’ 
in the private sector. 
(4) The Federal Government spends about $80 
billion each year for information technology. GAO 
has identified broad acquisition failures, waste, and 
unnecessary duplication in the Government’s infor-
mation technology infrastructure. Experts have esti-
mated that eliminating these problems could save 25 
percent – or $20 billion – of the Government’s an-
nual information technology budget. 
(5) Federal agencies reported an estimated 
$108 billion in improper payments in fiscal year 
2012. 
(6) Under clause 2 of Rule XI of the Rules of 
the House of Representatives, each standing com-
mittee must hold at least one hearing during each 
120 day period following its establishment on waste, 
fraud, abuse, or mismanagement in Government pro-
grams.

(7) According to the Congressional Budget Of-
fice, by fiscal year 2014, 42 laws will expire, possibly 
resulting in $685 billion in unauthorized appropria-
tions. Timely reauthorizations of these laws would 
ensure assessments of program justification and ef-
fectiveness. 
(8) The findings resulting from congressional 
oversight of Federal Government programs should 
result in programmatic changes in both authorizing 
statutes and program funding levels.

committees’ judgment should continue to receive funding. 
TITLE VIII—SENSE OF THE 
HOUSE PROVISIONS 
SEC. 801. SENSE OF THE HOUSE ON THE IMPORTANCE OF 
CHILD SUPPORT ENFORCEMENT. 
It is the sense of the House that— 
(1) additional legislative action is needed to en-
sure that States have the necessary resources to col-
lect all child support that is owed to families and to 
allow them to pass 100 percent of support on to 
families without financial penalty; and 
(2) when 100 percent of child support payments 
are passed to the child, rather than administrative 
expenses, program integrity is improved and child 
support participation increases. 
Passed the House of Representatives March 21, 
2013.
