Mr. Chairman, I want to begin by commending you for leading another open, collaborative, and bipartisan process in constructing the appropriations bill the subcommittee is considering today. We will never agree on every issue or funding level, but you and your staff have consistently worked with our side of the aisle in good faith, and have accommodated members of both parties in many instances. So I will be supporting the chairman's mark, and I encourage my colleagues to do the same.
We are fortunate to have a healthy allocation, especially as it compares to the budget request – which is $887 million lower. But more importantly, our allocation is healthy relative to the Department's needs, with one major exception having to do with the classification of most of the National Protection and Programs Directorate as Defense spending.
