This afternoon, we welcome the Administrator of the Transportation Security Administration, David Pekoske to testify on TSA's fiscal year 2024 budget request.
Administrator Pekoske, thank you for joining us today. I'd also like to take a moment to congratulate you on being confirmed for a second term as TSA Administrator. In today's political environment, it's quite an achievement to work for multiple Administrations. Thank you for your leadership and your service.
Good Morning, Mr. Secretary. It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services and Education for our very first budget hearing of the year, which happens to also be my first budget hearing as Chairman. We are looking forward to hearing your testimony.
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.
