The subcommittee met at 10:04 a.m., in room SD-192, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Hon. Tom Harkin (chairman) presiding. Present: Senators Harkin, Landrieu, Merkley, Moran, Alexander, and Kirk. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY STATEMENT OF HON. ARNE DUNCAN, SECRETARY ACCOMPANIED BY THOMAS P. SKELLY, DIRECTOR, BUDGET SERVICE OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR TOM HARKIN Senator HARKIN. The Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies will come to order. Good morning and welcome, everyone. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION FISCAL YEAR 2015 BUDGET REQUEST Welcome back, Secretary Duncan. It is great to see you again. I am glad to have you here to talk about your Department's fiscal year 2015 budget request. Your budget's proposed $1.3 billion increase is one of the largest of any Federal agency, second only to Veterans Affairs. The in- crease proposed for the Department of Education demonstrates this administration's continued commitment to our Nation's future. And the budget goes a step further with the Opportunity, Growth, and Security Fund, which would fully replace sequester in fiscal year 2015 and the subsequent 6 years of the budget. This stands in stark contrast with the approach of Chairman Ryan's budget. That budget would cut nondefense discretionary spending by $43 billion, or about 9 percent, in fiscal year 2016 and $791 billion over 10 years. (1)
