Did the Obama Administration Act Illegally to Fire a CNCS Inspector General? » Publications » Family Security Matters: "First, a full disclosure: Gerald Walpin is a friend whom I greatly admire and respect.
On August 3, 2006, President George W. Bush nominated him as Inspector General (IG) of the Corporation for National and Community Services (CNCS), an office charged with conducting independent audits and investigations of the CNCS and its service programs which include AmeriCorps, Volunteeers in Service of America (VISTA) and Senior Corps. He was confirmed by the United States Senate on December 2006 and sworn into office in January 2007.
On June 11, 2009, President Obama, only five months into his term of office, announced that Gerald Walpin would be removed from office.

Here hangs the tale that we hope Mr. Walpin will elucidate."
