The Subcommittee on Defense will come to order.
Today, the Subcommittee will receive testimony on the posture of the United States Army.
First, I would like to welcome our two witnesses:
- Secretary of the Army Christine Wormuth, and
- General James McConville, the Chief of Staff of the Army.
Thank you for joining us. We look forward to your testimony.
Thank you, Director Easterly, for joining us today, and for your military service.
In 2018, Congress authorized CISA to protect the Nation's cyber and physical critical infrastructure. We invested heavily in this operational agency and its mission over the last three fiscal years, increasing the budget by 44 percent from $2 billion to $2.9 billion.
The President's latest request would put you over $3 billion. That's a fair amount of dollars.
This afternoon, we welcome the Administrator of the Transportation Security Administration, David Pekoske to testify on TSA's fiscal year 2024 budget request.
Administrator Pekoske, thank you for joining us today. I'd also like to take a moment to congratulate you on being confirmed for a second term as TSA Administrator. In today's political environment, it's quite an achievement to work for multiple Administrations. Thank you for your leadership and your service.
The hearing will come to order.
Good afternoon and welcome back, for the second time today, to discuss the President's budget proposal for FY 2024.
Earlier this morning, Secretary Haaland with the Interior Department joined us and now we are pleased to welcome Administrator Regan from the Environmental Protection Agency. Thank you for being here today, Administrator Regan.
As you know, I previously served as Chairman of this subcommittee, and I'm very excited to be back in this role again.
