On behalf of the National Association of Assistant United States Attorneys (NAAUSA), representing the interests of over 6,000 federal criminal and civil prosecutors working in the nation’s 94 U.S. Attorney Offices, I write to express the association’s concerns about the budget provisions calling for over $50 billion in cuts to the earned pay and benefits of the federal workforce, including AUSAs.
NAAUSA calls on members of the committee and the Congress to reject these cuts – federal prosecutors and federal employees are not the source of, nor the solution for, the government’s debt and deficit.
