reporter: and on this hearing today, i know the white house pulled neera tanden to be o.m.b. director. there has been push by some democratic leadership in the house to have ms. young be the new nominee for o.m.b. director for the biden administration. is she somebody you could support based on what you heard? senator johnson: she has come with good recommendations from senators i respect. o.m.b. director is incredibly important position, especially for myself, another accountant. numbers matter. and we need information. that's the main thing i'll be looking for from the nominees is to make sure i get a commitment from them they'll provide congress, particularly this senate, with the information we need. right now i don't know how much that $1 trillion or how much that $4 trillion isn't unspent. that we've been told it's close to $1 trillion. it would be nice to have that information real time every day of the week but we don't have that information. reporter: you haven't heard anything yet from ms. young? senator johnson: the process has just begun. reporter: ok, thank you.
