                                U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

                  STATEMENT  OF HON. JEFF SESSIONS, ATTORNEY GENERAL
                           OPENING STATEMENT  OF SENATOR JERRY MORAN
                    Senator MORAN. Good afternoon. I call the hearing to order.
                    Mr. Attorney General, welcome to the committee, the Committee
                  on Commerce, Justice, Science Appropriations Subcommittee. We're
                  here to examine the Department of Justice's fiscal year 2019 budg-
                  et request.
                    I am pleased to welcome you to this subcommittee. My colleagues
                  and I are very much interested in hearing from you in your-hear-
                  ing your testimony, considering your testimony today. Your input
                  is not only helpful, but necessary, as we review the President's
                  spending priorities for the Justice Department.
                    While this hearing is about the Department's fiscal year 2019
                  budget request, I would suspect that you will hear about a number
                  of other issues unrelated to the Department's resource and funding
                  needs. My focus in this hearing is to better understand your top
                  funding priorities and to emphasize those that are important to our
                  Nation.
                    The Department  of Justice is responsible for, and involved in,
                  many important national priorities. Arguably, the greatest respon-
                  sibility includes keeping Americans safe, which carries a new
                  meaning, given the growing national security threats of today, and
                  upholding the rule of law. This requires that Congress adequately
                  fund our Nation's law enforcement efforts, including counterter-
                  rorism and cybersecurity initiatives.
                                               (1)
