Jim Cooper: “Thank you so much, Chairwoman Maloney, and also I would like to honor Delegate Norton.”

NNSA is undertaking a strategic review of the Office of Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation's mission, organization, scope of efforts, and integration with other parts of NNSA, among other things.

This hearing will come to order. I would like to begin by thanking our distinguished panel of witnesses.

I regret the inconvenience.

I am worried about the partisan tone of your questions.
