Brief Executive Summary
From the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, the Subcommittee on Federal Spending Oversight and Emergency Management led by Senator Rand Paul issued a weekly waste report on the Department of Commerce spending $500,000 on a grant to make a documentary on the Kilogram, a metal cylinder stored in Paris that serves as a standard for measuring mass. The report asserts that the documentary is unlikely to be of value to taxpayers.
