Madam Secretary, we have a lot of ground to cover with your budget request, and we are looking forward to hearing you articu- late your priorities for the Department. I would also like to recognize the Department's new Deputy Sec- retary, Mike Connor, who was unanimously confirmed by the Sen- ate on February 27.
