This guy is allegedly a "public servant." He should be fired and the
office put under very strict oversight, with the executive budget cut to
the bone. Someone wanting to get rich and live like a CEO doesn't belong
in charge of the Smithsonian, or the LOC or any other government
institution. Such jobs are not for those in it for the rich and famous
living large life.
No wonder so much audio material in the hands of the Smithsonian will
never be conveniently available to the public (public = owners and
funders of said museum). Disgraceful!

Bah, humbug.
$90K over 5 years -> $18K / year -> ~2% of his compensation, $900K/year
according to that article.
I grant that waste of that sort should be stopped, but the greater 'sin'
would appear to be his compesnation, not his expense account.
The argument will surely be that he is executive officer of an
institution with X employees managing Y megabucks per year and that a
million dollars a year is appropriate under those circumstances given
corresponding salaries in industry.
