This afternoon, we welcome the Administrator of the Transportation Security Administration, David Pekoske to testify on TSA's fiscal year 2024 budget request.

Administrator Pekoske, thank you for joining us today. I'd also like to take a moment to congratulate you on being confirmed for a second term as TSA Administrator. In today's political environment, it's quite an achievement to work for multiple Administrations. Thank you for your leadership and your service.

TSA's mission is vast and embedded in the principle that transportation security is national security.

Established in the immediate aftermath of September 11th, 2001, TSA works to combat dynamic threats across this nation's transportation systems and protect the traveling public.

Remarks

Good morning and welcome to the first meeting of the Committee on Appropriations for the 118th congress.

The business today is to consider the Committee Rules and Subcommittee Jurisdictions.

Before we do that, I want to start by saying that serving on this committee has been one of the greatest honors of my time in Congress.

I am humbled to serve as your Chair.

We have our work cut out for us this year.

In many ways, the odds are stacked against us.

But as I look across the room, I am reminded that we – as Appropriators – always find a way to get the job done for the American people.

I am hopeful that together we will continue that great tradition.

As I lead this committee, I will focus our work on that which unites us.
