GOVERNMENT INFORMATION GP DEPARTMENTS OF LABOR, HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, AND EDUCATION, AND RELATED AGENCIES APPROPRIATIONS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2017 THURSDAY, MARCH 10, 2016 U.S. SENATE, SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS, Washington, DC. The subcommittee met at 10:03 a.m., in room SD-138, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Hon. Roy Blunt (chairman) presiding. Present: Senators Blunt, Cochran, Alexander, Cassidy, Capito, Lankford, Murray, Reed, Merkley, Schatz, and Baldwin. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY STATEMENT OF HON. JOHN B. KING, JR., ACTING SECRETARY ACCOMPANIED BY THOMAS P. SKELLY, DIRECTOR, BUDGET SERVICE OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR ROY BLUNT Senator BLUNT. The Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies will come to order. Mr. Secretary, we are glad you are here this morning and ap- pearing before the committee. You and I just visited and discovered that we both started our post-college careers as social studies teachers. So it is great to have you here and understand that you embody so much about the education system. I think both your parents were teachers. You were a teacher. And I am glad to have you here as Acting Secretary. And Senator Alexander is doing ev- erything he can to remove the acting designation, and the Senate will be voting on that I think before too long. This is your first time in this position before the subcommittee, and we look forward to hearing your testimony. Also, I think I would be remiss if I did not mention that Tom Skelly-this is his last appearance before the subcommittee. He is retiring this month from the Department of Education after 41 years, including 19 years as the Budget Director. The committee, Tom, thanks you for your years of service and particularly for the technical expertise and responsiveness that you have provided to this committee over that 19 years of doing the job you are doing now. So we are glad you are here. (1)
