The subcommittee met at 10:35 a.m., in room SD-192, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Hon. Barbara A. Mikulski (chairwoman) presiding. Present: Senators Mikulski, Kohl, Reed, Cochran, Shelby, Col- lins, Murkowski, and Coats. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE DEPARTMENT OF THE NAvY OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY STATEMENT OF HON. RAY MABUS, SECRETARY OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR BARBARA A. MIKULSKI Senator MIKULSKI. Good morning. Today, the subcommittee be- gins its hearings to review the fiscal year 2013 Department of the Navy budget. I want to announce that there has been no coup. To see me in the chair is, I am sure, a surprise to me as much as it is to you. Senator Inouye cannot be here this morning for an unex- pected reason that arose. So he asked me to chair the sub- committee. In the spirit of bipartisanship, I think, as characteristic of this subcommittee, it will run very smoothly. Because we are expecting really active participation from mem- bers, we are going to stick to the 5-minute rule. Members will be recognized in the order of arrival but, of course, starting with Sen- ator Cochran. What I will do is wait until the very end, ask my questions then, and if there are any Inouye questions, I will ask them. Secretary of the Navy, Mr. Mabus, it is so good to see you again. I have got some questions for you, as you could imagine. The Chief of Naval Operations (CNO), Admiral Jonathan W. Greenert is here, as well as the Commandant of the Marine Corps, General James F. Amos. General Amos, I understand you are re- covering from surgery, and you and your wife have determined that you can appear today. But anything we need to do to accommodate your situation, Sir, we will be happy to do it. (1)
