The subcommittee met at 10:02 a.m., in room SD-124, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Hon. Lisa Murkowski (chairman) presiding. Present: Senators Murkowski, Cochran, Blunt, Daines, Cassidy, Udall, Feinstein, Leahy, Reed, Tester, and Merkley. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY STATEMENT OF HON. SALLY JEWELL, SECRETARY ACCOMPANIED BY: MICHAEL CONNOR, DEPUTY SECRETARY KRISTEN SARRI, PRINCIPAL DEPUTY ASSISTANT SECRETARY OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR LISA MURKOWSKI Senator MURKOWSKI. Good morning. I would like to welcome ev- eryone to our first hearing of the Interior Appropriations Sub- committee for fiscal year 2017. We are here to review the budget request for the Department of the Interior. I would like to welcome our witnesses this morning. We have the Honorable Secretary Sally Jewell, who is accompanied by Deputy Secretary Mike Connor as well as Principal Deputy Assistant Sec- retary Kris Sarri. Welcome to all of you. Since this is our first hearing this year, I will just remind col- leagues that we will follow past practices and adhere to the early bird rule for recognizing members for questions. I will call on mem- bers in the order they arrive, going back and forth between major- ity and the minority. We will do 6-minute rounds of questions. My expectation this morning is that we will likely do two to three rounds of questions, depending on votes and schedules of the members and the witnesses. I will try to accommodate everyone so that they have an opportunity to address the issues that they wish to raise. I also want to thank and welcome my ranking member, Senator Udall. We managed to mark up this bill for the first time in 6 years in fiscal year 2016. While we didn't agree on everything that was in the bill, things were never disagreeable. I really appreciate that.
