Good afternoon, Chairman Sessions, Ranking Member Slaughter and members of the Committee. I am here before you today to present H.R. 933, a Continuing Resolution to provide funding for the remainder of the 2013 fiscal year, and to provide full-year appropriations for the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs.
The Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science and Related Agencies will hold a public witnesses hearing March 21, 2013, time TBD, in H-309, The Capitol.
The deadline to submit requests to testify is Friday, March 15, 2013.
Please find further instructions for submitting a request to testify to the Subcommittee by clicking here.
Good morning. Thank you all for coming. This hearing today is critically important. This week, our national defense will face serious and dangerous sequestration cuts, as well as potentially damaging constraints if the current DoD funding structure is simply extended for the remainder of the fiscal year. While it is not within this Committee's power to solve sequestration at this time, it IS within our jurisdiction to try and help loosen the chains and allow the Department some funding flexibility in order to do its best with what it has.
