WASHINGTON D.C. – Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC), Chairman of the Oversight Subcommittee on TARP, Financial Services and Bailouts of Public and Private Programs, issued the following statement today regarding the resignation of the Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program Neil Barofsky:

“Mr. Barofsky has always been a straight shooter.  I’d like to thank him for being a very thoughtful and diligent overseer of the TARP program.  His service has been exemplary.  Since there is still much work to be done, I expect President Obama to nominate a successor who is as dedicated, honest, and forthright as Mr. Barofsky has been.”
