The subcommittee met at 9:35 a.m., in room SD-124, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Hon. Jack Reed (chairman) presiding. Present: Senators Reed, Tester, and Murkowski. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT STATEMENT OF HON. ROBERT V. ABBEY, DIRECTOR OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR JACK REED Senator REED. Let me call the hearing to order. Good morning. I want to welcome our witnesses to the subcommittee's oversight hearing on Federal offshore and onshore energy development pro- grams within the Department of the Interior. On behalf of the members of the Interior, Environment, and Re- lated Agencies Subcommittee, I'd like to welcome our panel and thank everyone for joining us here today. Now, before us, we have the Honorable Robert V. Abbey, who's the Director of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM); the Honor- able Tommy P. Beaudreau, Director of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM); and the Honorable James Watson, Director of the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE). Gentlemen, thank you. Director Beaudreau and Director Watson, this is your first hear- ing before the subcommittee as heads of these two new bureaus which were created in October of last year, so we wanted to offer a special welcome to both of you. As many of you know, the subcommittee was fortunate to have the opportunity to discuss many aspects of energy development when Secretary Salazar appeared before us 2 weeks ago. In par- ticular, I'm especially grateful that we had the opportunity to dis- cuss with him the potential for offshore wind development to create new manufacturing and assembly jobs and to generate renewable energy in my home State of Rhode Island and in other States.
