OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR DIANNE FEINSTEIN
Senator FEINSTEIN. Good morning, everyone. The Subcommittee
on Energy and Water will come to order.
Today's hearing is going to review the fiscal year 2022 Budget
Request for the Department of Energy. And of course that includes
the National Nuclear Security Administration as well.
Ranking Member Kennedy and I will each have a brief state-
ment, which I am in the process of making. And then we will recog-
nize each Senator for an opening statement, if they wish to make
one. We will then turn to Secretary Granholm to present testimony
on behalf of the Department of Energy. Welcome, Madam Sec-
retary. It is good to see you again.
At the conclusion of the witness' testimony, I will recognize Sen-
ators for 5 minutes of questions each, and the usual procedure.
Secretary Granholm, and you, Dr. Verdon, for joining us today,
thank you again. I am particularly pleased to see the Secretary
who got her start at the University of California, Berkeley, was a
Golden Bear, and later returned to the school as a faculty member.
So your California roots are there, and I thank you for them.
I would like to just quickly begin by a statement-with the state-
ment on the fiscal year 2022 request for the Department, which to-
tals $46.2 billion. This represents a more than $4 billion increase
