Senator Nelson, it is good to have you back here visiting the Subcommittee to help us examine NASA's fiscal year 2024 budget request.
The Biden Administration is requesting $27.2 billion in funding for NASA – a roughly 7% increase over the fiscal year 2023 enacted level. And as you know, Congress also provided $367 million in emergency funding for NASA Construction and Environmental Compliance in fiscal year 2023.
The subcommittee will come to order.
Today, we welcome testimony from the Honorable Pete Buttigieg, Secretary of the U.S. Department of Transportation. Thank you for appearing before us today and for your service.
The work agents and officers of U.S. Customs and Border Protection do every day has immense importance to both our national and economic security.
