 WASHINGTON, Oct. 20 (UPI) -- Most private contractors keeping tabs on billions of dollars in governmental spending for the U.S. House Appropriations Committee have been let go. With about 60 investigators gone, the shakeup leaves only 16 full-time employees in the unit, USA Today reported. Committee spokesman John Scofield said that the quality of the unit's work had been questioned by leaders of the Republican-controlled committee. Scofield said the ongoing investigations include the $62 billion federal relief package for Hurricane Katrina. The cutback came about a year after Appropriations Chairman Jerry Lewis, R-Calif., opened the Katrina review promising "a wide-ranging assessment and analysis of disaster spending."
