Remarks

Good morning. Welcome.

Today's hearing is on the quality of life for our enlisted soldiers, sailors, marines, airmen, guardians, and their families.

The five witnesses at the table represent the highest enlisted level of leadership for their respective branches.

This is the first time since 2019 that we've had all of the senior enlisted leaders together to testify on quality-of-life issues. They are truly an impressive group.

This hearing is a great opportunity to identify areas where we can do more to help our service members and their families.

It is also an opportunity to discuss the important connection between facilities, readiness, and quality of life.

Investing in infrastructure bolsters the military's ability to train and fight, while also ensuring our service members and their families are taken care of at home, every day.

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.
