Thank you, Chairman Hall, for holding this hearing and welcome, Dr. Holdren, to the Committee for the second time this year.

You do not science and research by jumping in and out, by not knowing from one year to the next what your budgets are going to be.

I want to especially thank Dr. Dillingham, who I have seen come before this committee year after year after year.

Failing to maintain these waterways will stifle trade and curtail economic competitiveness.
