The subcommittee will come to order. Good morning. I want to thank all of you for coming to today’s hearing to receive testimony from our colleagues.
I look forward to hearing more about the projects and programs in the Agriculture Appropriations bill that are important to your district and to communities across the country. Your input will be critical as we work to fund the agencies under this subcommittee’s jurisdiction. I look forward to working with Ranking Member Bishop and our subcommittee colleagues to accommodate these priorities as best we can as the Fiscal Year 2026 appropriations process moves forward.
Thank you again for taking time out of your busy schedule to speak with us today and bring these issues that are important to your community to our attention. Ranking Member Bishop, I yield to you for any opening remarks you’d like to make.
The Subcommittee will come to order. The subject of today’s hearing is the Fiscal Year 2026 request for the Stennis Center for Public Service, the Office of Congressional Workplace Rights, and the Congressional Office for International Leadership. I’d like to thank Ranking Member Espaillat, Committee Members, and our agency Executive Directors for being here this morning.
While our smaller agencies do not traditionally testify every budget cycle, we wanted to invite you back to provide an introduction to the work you and your teams do for the new Members of our subcommittee. The Stennis Center for Public Service, while being the oldest of the three agencies here today, continues to submit a flat funding request for $430 thousand for Fiscal Year 2026.
