STATEMENT OF HON. JAMES F. BRIDENSTINE, ADMINISTRATOR
OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR JERRY MORAN
Senator MORAN. My hand will work as the gavel this afternoon.
We are going to start just a couple minutes early. The vote is at
3:15, and so this will be similar to the hearing that we had last
week when we were under similar circumstances with the FBI Di-
rector.
Good afternoon. I call this hearing to order.
I am pleased to be joined today by the Acting Ranking Member
of this subcommittee, Senator Schatz. I chaired a subcommittee
that he was the ranking member of before I came here, and he has
followed me in this capacity. And I look forward to working with
you and your colleagues on this particular issue of Commerce, Jus-
tice, Science, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Administrator, we are delighted to have you join us. I look for-
ward to the conversation.
In light of the time constraints, I am going to forego an opening
statement, and I now turn to the Senator from Hawaii, Senator
Schatz.
STATEMENT OF SENATOR BRIAN SCHATZ
Senator SCHATZ. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It is good to be back
with you, Chairman Moran.
Thank you, Administrator Bridenstine, for being here.
I would also ask to enter both my statement into the record and
Ranking Member Shaheen's statement into the record.
Senator MORAN. Without objection.
