Good morning and welcome to the NSRP Subcommittee hearing on the National Endowment for Democracy. Our witness today is Damon Wilson, President and CEO of NED.

At this moment in our country’s history, under the tremendous leadership of President Trump, our foreign policy has been awakened and strengthened in an unprecedented manner. The work of NED is a critical tool advancing the foreign policy priorities of this Administration, including by defending international religious freedom in places like Nigeria, Nicaragua and Communist China, and supporting those struggling for freedom in places like Iran, North Korea, and Cuba.
