OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY
STATEMENT OF HON. XAVIER BECERRA, SECRETARY
OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR PATTY MURRAY
Senator MURRAY. Good morning. The Senate Appropriations sub-
committee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education and
Related Agencies will please come to order. Today we are having
a hearing on the Biden Administration's fiscal year 2023 budget re-
quest for the Department of Health and Human Services. Senator
Blunt and I will each have an opening statement, and then I will
introduce our witness, Secretary Becerra.
After his testimony, Senators will each have 5 minutes for a
round of questions. And while we were unable to have the hearing
fully open to the public or media for in-person attendance, live
video is available on our committee website. If you are in need of
accommodations, including closed captioning, you can reach out to
the committee or the Office of Congressional Accessibility Services.
Secretary Becerra, I am glad to have you before our committee
today to provide answers to the questions the American people
have, especially this morning, given the alarming reporting that
the Supreme Court is planning to end the Constitutional right to
abortion in this country and overturn Roe v. Wade.
If this is true, it will be devastating to many people across the
country. I have been warning about this for years and I want you
to know I am going to keep fighting back with all I have to protect
every woman's rights in this country. But people across the country
are worried.
