Good afternoon. The Defense Subcommittee will come to order.
Thank you, Chairman Amodei and Ranking Member Underwood, and thank you, Madam Secretary, for being with us today.
I would like to thank Secretary Bessent for being here today and for his leadership and steady hand over the last several months.
Before we wrap up, I want to offer this in closing: our authorizing colleagues are working on reconciliation bills that will provide significant investments in the President’s immigration and border security agenda, including funding to the Coast Guard to secure our maritime border.
I commend them for their efforts to enable the Department to finish the wall, hire more agents and officers, and bring additional detention beds online.
I know the Department hopes to be made whole with reconciliation, but in the meantime, you need to live within your means.
