The subcommittee met at 10:01 a.m. in room SD-192, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Hon. Dianne Feinstein (chairwoman) pre- siding. Present: Senators Feinstein, Shaheen, Heinrich, Kennedy, Mur- kowski, and Hyde-Smith. DEPARTMENT DEFENSE-CIVIL DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS-CIVIL STATEMENT OF MR. MICHAEL CONNOR, ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF THE ARMY (CIVIL WORKS) OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR DIANNE FEINSTEIN Senator FEINSTEIN. The Subcommittee on Energy and Water De- velopment will come to order. Today's hearing will review the President's fiscal year 2023 Budget Request for the United States Corps of Engineering and the Bureau of Reclamation. Ranking Member Kennedy and I will each have an opening statement. We will then turn to our witnesses to present testimony on behalf of the Corps and the Bureau. Each witness will be al- lowed 5 minutes for opening remarks, and of course if you need more, I have never seen us not do that. At the conclusion of the witnesses' testimony, I will recognize Senators for 5 minutes of questions each. And I would like to welcome our witnesses. Thank them for being here today. They are: Mr. Michael Connor, the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works; Lieutenant General Scott Spellmon, the Chief of Engineers for the United States Army Corps of Engi- neers; and Mr. David Palumbo, Deputy Commissioner of Oper- ations for the Bureau of Reclamation at the Department of Interior. I would like to speak for a moment about the Army Corps' budg- et request which cuts more than $1.7 billion from the enacted level for the Civil Works Program. That is a 21 percent cut. I am par- ticularly disappointed that $1 billion of that is to the construction account. (1)
