Thank you, Director Easterly, for joining us today, and for your military service.
In 2018, Congress authorized CISA to protect the Nation's cyber and physical critical infrastructure. We invested heavily in this operational agency and its mission over the last three fiscal years, increasing the budget by 44 percent from $2 billion to $2.9 billion.
The President's latest request would put you over $3 billion. That's a fair amount of dollars.
Today, I would like us to drill down and quantify the return on that investment for the American people, as CISA's mission has never been more important.
Nation-state actors backed by China, Russia, North Korea, Iran, and others are targeting government and private sector networks to steal intellectual property, probe our defenses, disrupt operations, cause panic, and inflict financial consequences on the homeland.

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.
