Wednesday at a House Oversight and Reform Committee hearing, Environmental Protection Agency Deputy Assistant Inspector General for Investigations Allan Williams confirmed to Rep. John Mica (R-FL) that an employee at the agency that had downloaded more than 7,000 pornographic files onto a government computer and viewed them for two to six hours a day received bonuses.

Williams said he was unable to confirm that assertion, but Bob Perciasepe, the deputy administrator of the EPA, confirmed it.
