The Subcommittee on Financial Services and General Government will come to order. Welcome to our first subcommittee hearing of the 118th Congress.
Appearing before the Subcommittee today is Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Office of Management and Budget Director Shalanda Young. Thank you for joining us this afternoon. We were looking forward to receiving testimony from Council of Economic Advisers Chair Cecilia Rouse but wish her well.
We are here today to discuss the Administration's Fiscal Year 2024 budget request and our Nation's economic outlook.
This hearing has not occurred in over a decade, and it could not be timelier as we are in the midst of great economic turmoil. It is of my opinion that the reckless spending and out-of-control regulatory expansion unleashed by President Biden and Democrats has pushed us into a recession. It has been anything but a transitory cycle.
Good afternoon. Welcome.
Today's hearing is on the Army's fiscal year 2024 budget request for military construction and family housing.
It is a great pleasure to be here today with the Honorable Rachel Jacobson, Assistant Secretary of the Army for Installations, Energy, and Environment and Lieutenant General Kevin Vereen, Deputy Chief of Staff G9, Installation Management Command.
I had the opportunity to speak with Ms. Jacobson last week. We discussed challenges and opportunities for the Army in INDOPACOM as well as the importance of childcare facilities for our soldiers and their families. I look forward to continuing our discussion today.
Investing in facilities and infrastructure is critical to supporting our soldiers and their families. These investments directly impact the way our soldiers train, sleep, eat, and take care of their families. It is important to me that we continue investing in infrastructure.

I want to welcome Amanda Bennett, the CEO of the United States Agency for Global Media.
Ms. Bennett, you are at the helm of an agency that is tasked with providing free, independent information globally, including in the most repressive media environments.
The timing of this session, so early in the cycle of our hearings, should send a clear signal of the priority we place on this agency and its important mission.
It is no secret that I am a strong supporter of that mission. As a Cuban American with the strongest admiration for pro-democracy movements, I can attest to the importance of American-sponsored information and broadcasting in Cuba and around the world.
Congress's support for international broadcasting dates back eight decades, beginning with Voice of America during World War II.
The Committee will come to order.

I look forward to working with Ranking Member Pingree to advance programs that help conserve and protect our nation's most critical natural, cultural, and environmental resources, and strengthen the Committee's longstanding efforts to increase the federal commitment to honor our treaties and trust responsibilities to American Indians and Alaska Natives.
The Subcommittee on Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies will come to order.
