Mr. Secretary, good morning. Welcome, and thank you for joining us. It is great to see you. I recognize it is somewhat unusual to appear before this Committee to discuss the budget request after the House has already passed a bill with tremendous bipartisan support. I hope today’s conversation includes discussion of that legislation. I am sure the department would always welcome additional funding, but I would simply say that the process will continue to evolve over the coming months, and we welcome the department’s input and perspective as we move forward.
