The subcommittee met at 2:00 p.m., in room SD-124, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Hon. Jeanne Shaheen (Chairwoman) pre- siding. Present: Senators Shaheen, Reed, Van Hollen, Moran, Mur- kowski, Collins, and Braun. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR JEANNE SHAHEEN Senator SHAHEEN. Thank you very much. Our new Commerce Secretary is here today to talk about the Department of Commerce and their budget. And I also want to thank you again for coming to New Hampshire. I understand it was your first official visit, and so it was very nice to have you in New England, close to home, in the Granite State. The Department of Commerce promotes job creation and eco- nomic growth by ensuring fair trade, providing the data necessary to support commerce, and fostering innovation by setting standards and conducting foundational research and development. To achieve these important goals the Department employees nearly 50,000 people located in all 50 States and every U.S. territory, and actu- ally dozens of countries around the world. Among these employees are Nobel Prize winners, statisticians, trade experts, and patent attorneys. This year, the President's fis- cal year 2022 budget request for the Department is $11.4 billion. And that is a 28 percent increase compared to the fiscal year 2021 enacted level for the Department. This top line proposal builds off of the Department's ongoing work to spur American job growth in the wake of a devastating pandemic and economic reces- sion. To do so this budget includes a proposal to increase funding for the National Institute of Standards and Technology, NIST, by at least $400 million, an investment that would be a shot in the arm to bolster advanced manufacturing research, and manufacturing assistance programs to create good-paying American jobs.
