Bureaucrats Need Training To Conceal What They Do

[From article]
Leslie Paige, spokeswoman for Citizens Against Government Waste, said if officials were doing their jobs correctly, the money wouldn’t be needed.
“All they have to do is sit there at a microphone, read their testimony and answer questions truthfully, honestly and thoroughly and explain to the American people what they’re doing,” Ms. Paige said.
“It’s not ‘The Charlie Rose Show’; it’s not ‘The View,’” she said. “It is congressional testimony. So just cough up the facts, because that’s all we really need from you.”
Documents show the contract also includes a separate ambassadorial seminar “for building effective relationships with members of Congress and their staffers.”
