I want to welcome Amanda Bennett, the CEO of the United States Agency for Global Media.

Ms. Bennett, you are at the helm of an agency that is tasked with providing free, independent information globally, including in the most repressive media environments.

The timing of this session, so early in the cycle of our hearings, should send a clear signal of the priority we place on this agency and its important mission.

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.
