===Diverted research funding=== In 1999, Senator Harry Reid requested the Justice Department start a criminal investigation into the diversion of research funds at the CDC that was earmarked for chronic fatigue syndrome. The [[U.S. Department of Health and Human Services]] (HHS) reported that the agency misspent millions of dollars appropriated by Congress for research on chronic fatigue syndrome. According to an article in the ''Las Vegas Sun'': "An inspector general reported in May that only $9.8 million of the $22.7 million Congress set aside to study chronic fatigue syndrome from 1995 to 1998 was actually spent on the illness. At least $8.8 million was spent on other research, including measles and polio. But government auditors said they could not determine what happened to an additional $4.1 million and the CDC has not explained where the money went."<ref>Jansen, B. (n.d.).
