And then she sought reimbursement for more than what she was entitled to. So we sought the advice of General Counsel's Office to see what she was entitled to, and what else, if anything, we should do as far as disciplinary action. Q. What was the discipline that was recommended by GC? A. GCO? Q. GCO? A. I don't remember. Q. Do you recall, was there any discipline recommended? A. I know it eventually became part of the reprimand, so I'm sure they recommended that some discipline be imparted. Q. Other than disagreeing with Martha and reimbursing her at a lower rate in late February 2010, was any discipline issued prior to the March 9 memo? A. No. Q. And did the General Counsel's Office advise you to discipline Martha for anything prior to March 9, 2010? A. No. Q. Did you tell anyone at the General Counsel's Office Gov.
