The Subcommittee will come to order. Good morning. I want to thank all of you for coming to today’s hearing to receive testimony from our colleagues. I look forward to hearing more about the projects and programs in the Agriculture Appropriations bill that are important to your district and to communities across the country.
Washington, D.C. – Today, Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Subcommittee Chairman Hal Rogers (R-KY), Committee Chairman Tom Cole (R-OK), and other members examined the National Weather Service (NWS) and its vital public safety mission to deliver timely, accurate forecasts that protect lives and property.
Thank you, Chairman Rogers and Ranking Member Meng. Welcome Assistant Secretary Jordan. Thank you for being here today to discuss the importance of the National Weather Service.
It is not an overstatement to say the work of the National Weather Service impacts the daily lives of all Americans. Because of this, the office must be well resourced and singularly focused on ensuring its forecasts and extreme weather warnings are accurate and available to our constituents when they need them most.
