“I ask unanimous consent that a copy of my opening statement at the Subcommittee on Energy and Water Development's budget hearing for the National Nuclear Security Administration's fiscal year 2020 budget request be printed in the Record. There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in the Record, as follows: National Nuclear Security Administration Fiscal Year 2020 Budget Request Mr. ALEXANDER. The Subcommittee on Energy and Water Development will please come to order. Today's hearing will review the administration's fiscal year 2020 budget request for the National Nuclear Security Administration. This is the second of the Subcommittee's four budget hearings this year. We heard from Secretary Perry last week, and we'll have two more hearings in the coming weeks to review the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the Army Corps of Engineers and the Bureau of Reclamation budget requests. Senator Feinstein and I will each have an opening statement. I will then recognize each Senator for up to five minutes for an opening statement, alternating between the majority and minority, in the order in which they arrived. We will then turn to Administrator Lisa Gordon-Hagerty to present testimony on behalf of the National Nuclear Security Administration and then give Admiral Frank Caldwell an opportunity to give a brief statement.…”
