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.
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.
The subcommittee will come to order.
Today, we welcome the Inspectors General (IG) from the Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Good morning to our witnesses, the DOT IG Eric Soskin and the HUD IG Rae Oliver Davis. Thank you for appearing before us today, and for your service to the taxpaying public. I would also like to welcome my colleagues from both sides of the aisle to our first hearing of this budget season.
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

Thank you for joining us. We look forward to your testimony.
