AmeriCorps responds to Grassley

Published June 15, 2009 4:00am ET



Note: I’m told that I have misread this response.  The acting inspector general, Kenneth Bach, was apparently responding to a second letter sent by Sen. Grassley on June 12 — one that asked for only two categories of information. So therefore Bach did fully respond to Grassley.  So far, AmeriCorps has not responded to the Grassley inquiry detailed below, the one that asked for eight categories of information.

The Corporation for National and Community Service, the organization that oversees AmeriCorps, has responded to Sen. Charles Grassley’s request for information about the firing of inspector general Gerald Walpin. And the answer is: We’ll give you a little bit, but nothing that touches on the White House, the Office of the First Lady, or any of the people and organizations that were the subjects of Walpin’s investigations.
