regional conference would need to go to new orleans, which is not even the western regional conference. so you get a lot of people together, it gives you a reason to have a conference. and then you go to a luxury resort. how much per diem are you supposed to get on a trip? >> per diem varies from place to place. and it's listed on the gsa website as to how much per diem per day individuals would get. for example, in las vegas the per diem for breakfast is $10. and it's stated there's a chart of per diem. if your question is why did they have the conference, the western region conference this year, they said that they wanted to showcase gsa talent. >> is the per diem cumulative? meaning if you pay your own way for the entire week do you get a check at the end of the week. and is it you get a breakfast, a lunch, and a dinner per diem? >> you have to put a voucher in, and you would get repaid the money. it's $71 for the whole day in las vegas. that's for everything, meals and everything. the hotel room was $93. so a traveler would come back and submit a voucher, and th

they called the conference the western region's conference. as far as i know there is no such thing as an eastern region's conference or southern region's conference. it's only the western region's conference. >> so is there, have you looked at those conferences that were alluded to in your report in 2008, 2006, or if not, do you have any intention to look at those conferences to see whether a culture has developed or was developing in these regions in the western part of the united states? >> representative norton, we are looking at conferences in region 9 right now. the older western regions conferences will, one, be old. already the 2010 conference is -- >> do you have any notion that there was a culture there that needs to be examined and to be rooted out? that's what i'm really getting at, mr. miller. >> the witnesses, many of the witnesses say that the western regions conference in las vegas was not materially different than the previous western regions conferences, i believe in new orleans, in oklahoma, and at lake tahoe. >> if the gent

what i personally saw, the conferences i attended were not extravagant. the 2010 western regions conference described in the i.g.'s report was a serious aberration. when i arrived the first afternoon of the conference, i was shown to a very large suite. i questioned the organizers as to the cost. they told me that all the rooms were within the government rate, including this room, and that my suite was included at the basic room rate as part of the conference's package of rooms. my first morning at the conference i made a powerpoint presentation to the entire group about national pbs goals and priorities. irattended presentations from the four western regions about their projects and performance and another about the gsa's sustainability goals. that afternoon i asked the conference organizers to invite a number of employees of their choosing to my room. my intention was to have a meet and greet with a group of regional employees attending the conference. this pre-dinner reception went from about 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. since this was my initiative, rather than an event on

concerning my role in the western region's conference, again, i want to start by apologizing. i was not directly involved in the planning for the conference or any of the financial and contracting irregularities identified in the inspector general's report. i did attend 2 1/2 days of the conference, there were things that seemed over the top but i believed they were not being paid for with government funds. in past conferences items like the tuxedos and the after hour parties were paid for by individuals, not the taxpayer. had i known since what has been revealed i would have been concerned and would have reported it. because of the regional reporting structure in our agency i did not have super advisory control or authority over how the regional budget was spent the, procurement activities or any of the employees in the western region. the regional commissioners and their staff reported directly to the regional administrators who in turn report to the administrator's office. my primary role as the deputy commissioner is dealing with omb, congress and other federal agencies on

conferences, awards, or parties. the unacceptable, inappropriate, and possibly illegal activities at the western regions conference stand in direct contradiction to the express goals of this agency and the administration and i'm committed to ensuring that we take whatever steps are necessary to hold responsible parties accountable and to make sure that this never happens again. we need to focus this agency on the basics, streamlining the administrative work of the federal government to save taxpayers' money. i look forward to working with the committee moving forward and i welcome the opportunity to take any questions. thank you. >> thank you. ms. johnson. >> chairman denham, ranking member norton, and members of the committee. on april 2nd, 2012, i resigned as administrator of the general services administration and left my cherished career as a public servant. i stepped aside to allow a new team to rebuild gsa from the major missteps of the western regions conference in october 2010. i previously served gsa in the clinton administration, leaving in 2001. at that time the leadership team was strong, the schedules, desi

conferences, awards or parties. the unacceptable inappropriate and possibly illegal activities at the western regions conference stand in direct contradiction to the express goals of this agency and the administration. and i'm committed to ensuring that we take whatever steps are necessary to hold responsible parties accountable and to make sure that this never happens again. we need to refocus this agency and get back to the basics, streamlining the administrative work of the federal government to save taxpayers money. i look forwarded to working with committee, moving forward and i welcome the opportunity to take any questions at this time. thank you. >> thank you both very much. as senator inhofe said, you are the good guys in all of this, and susan is a good gal. susan brita who came forward as a political appointee to blow the whistle and it resulted in the president's administrator resigning as she should have and two people being fired. again, i say to miss brita thank you for your courage. this is not easy. i've done a lot of work on whistleblower protection and i know, you got to move the clock here, and i n

we've done a report specifically on the western region's conference. i'm reluctant to make generalizations but i do throw those particular facts out to you about the party and you can draw your own general conclusions. >> okay. >> i think the events in the western region conference speak for themselves, that clearly a leadership ip issue happening particular out out there in region nine at the time that the this conference was planned and certainly undertaken. i haven't been there long enough to really get a sense organizationally whether this is a broader cultural problem or not. that's why we want to look top to bottom at the organization and ask ourselves the clean sheet of paper type questions. are we structured in such a way, have we built ourselves a culture in such a way that it encourages this kind of activity although i don't think there's any evidence beyond what we've seen in region nine and what happened with this particular leader in this is endemic but we're open to that possibility and work very closely with the ig. i think equally import

conferences. before that even we had eliminate issed funding for the next western regions conference. i canceled a bunch of other national conferences which, by the way, i would not believe was lavish, but still given the budget environment, there was not enough benefit given the expense that they were going to make us have. >> mr. miller, wonder if if you can tell us some of the offsi offmeetings in region nine. how often would they have those site meetings? where would they go and how much would they cost? >> well, the offsite meetings appear to be fairly regular. there was an offsite meeting at napa, i believe, at the end of march of 2012. that's march of this year. pbs region nine offsite leadership meeting in napa. food is reported to be about $40,000 for that particular offsite. we're also looking into allegations regarding other offsites and tours, like a jeep tour and that sort of thing charged to the federal government. >> that one in napa was just recently, wasn't it? >> in march, yes, of this year. >> thank you. mr. miller, i wonder if also the investigation that you've bee
