Good morning. The Subcommittee will come to order.

First of all, I would like to sincerely thank all of our guests here today. We thank you for being here and taking time out of your schedule to share with us today your outlook for your departments and agencies, especially from the budget aspect.

Senator Nelson, it is good to have you back here visiting the Subcommittee to help us examine NASA's fiscal year 2024 budget request.

The Biden Administration is requesting $27.2 billion in funding for NASA – a roughly 7% increase over the fiscal year 2023 enacted level. And as you know, Congress also provided $367 million in emergency funding for NASA Construction and Environmental Compliance in fiscal year 2023.

Remarks

The work agents and officers of U.S. Customs and Border Protection do every day has immense importance to both our national and economic security.

Put simply, their collective job is to keep bad things and people from entering the country illegally.

However, our agents and officers' jobs are made harder by the President's fundamentally unserious budget request for CBP.
