Today's hearing will come to order.
This afternoon, we welcome the Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Deanne Criswell, to testify on FEMA's fiscal year 2024 budget request.
Administrator Criswell, thank you for joining us today, and thank you for your decades of service to our country in the military, as a firefighter and first responder, and your years in emergency management.
FEMA has the simple—yet critical—mission of helping the American people before, during, and after disasters.
Administrator Power, thank you for being here today to discuss the fiscal year 2024 budget request for the U.S. Agency for International Development.
Before I get into the details of the budget, I want to take a moment to thank the men and women of USAID, including the Foreign Service Nationals and the staff of your implementing partners, for their efforts to make the world a better place.
We don't say it enough, but we appreciate their service, and yours, Administrator Power, so please convey those thanks on behalf of our Subcommittee.
The Subcommittee will come to order. Without objection, the Chair is authorized to declare a recess at any time.
Our witness this morning is Steven Dettelbach, Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
I will begin by recognizing myself for an opening statement.
The FY 2024 budget request for the ATF totals $1.9 billion, which is a 7.4% increase over the FY23 enacted level.
