That's a third building.
It was built five years ago.
No one in office wants to do a major renovation of a historic building during their term in office.
Much prefer to leave that to your successors.
And this is a great example why, let alone two historic buildings that needed a lot of work.
But we decided to take it on because, honestly, when I was the administrative governor before I came chair, I came to understand how badly the Eccles building really needed a serious renovation.
It never had one.
It was not really safe and it was not waterproof and that kind of thing.
So we took it on.

I will continue to do the job the Senate confirmed me to do.
with integrity and a commitment to serving the American people.
