The Environmental Protection Agency is spending nearly $25,000 to install a secure phone booth in the office of Administrator Scott Pruitt, according to a report Tuesday.

The agency signed a $24,570 contract with Acoustical Solutions this summer for a “privacy booth for the administrator,” the Washington Post reported, citing government contracting records.
