Good morning.
The Subcommittee will come to order. Without objection, the Chair is authorized to declare recesses at any time.
I would like to welcome everyone to our hearing on the Fiscal Year 2024 budget request for the National Science Foundation. Thank you to our Subcommittee Members and to our witness, Dr. Panchanathan, Director of the NSF, for being here today.
The National Science Foundation plays an important role in our government, with a broad mission to promote the progress of science. Unlike other federal agencies that have mission-specific approaches to research, the National Science Foundation supports fundamental, basic research from across the spectrum. This research is the foundation for the technological advances of the future.
Good afternoon.
The Subcommittee will come to order. Without objection, the Chair is authorized to declare a recess at any time.
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.
The Subcommittee will come to order. Without objection, the Chair is authorized to declare a recess at any time.
Our witness this morning is Steven Dettelbach, Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
I will begin by recognizing myself for an opening statement.
The FY 2024 budget request for the ATF totals $1.9 billion, which is a 7.4% increase over the FY23 enacted level.
The primary criminal enforcement mission of the ATF is to protect the public from violent crime. And while the ATF's budget request attempts to assure us its resources are directed toward the most serious offenses and most dangerous criminals, some recent decisions tell another story.
Many folks are justifiably concerned about sweeping, seemingly poorly reasoned, new rules emanating from the ATF in recent months.
The Subcommittee will come to order. Without objection, the Chair is authorized to declare a recess at any time.
I would like to welcome everyone to this afternoon's hearing. Thank you to our Subcommittee members and to Secretary Raimondo for being here today. I will begin by recognizing myself for an opening statement.
The Department of Commerce's mission of promoting job creation and economic competitiveness is critical to our economy and to furthering American innovation.
The Department of Commerce has 13 major bureaus with a budget of over $11 billion. The FY24 budget request is $12.3 billion, an increase of over $1 billion, or 11% over the enacted level.
The Department's diverse mission areas combine to help foster the innovation and development that propel the U.S. economy.
