The subcommittee met at 4:15 p.m., in room SD-138, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Hon. Jack Reed, (Chairman) presiding. Present: Senators Reed and Braun. GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY OFFICE AND LIBRARY OF CONGRESS OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR JACK REED Senator REED. I call the hearing to order. Good afternoon. The subcommittee will continue its efforts for the fiscal year 2023 budg- et for the Legislative Branch Appropriations. I am joined by our Ranking Member, Senator Braun. I look forward to working with him and the distinguished Members of the Subcommittee in crafting a responsible fiscal year 2023 funding legislation that sup- ports the Legislative Branch. Today we have with us the Library of Congress, Dr. Carla Hay- den, and the Comptroller General of the United States, Gene Dodaro. Welcome, and I thank you for joining us today. The Li- brary and GAO are critical to making sure that Congress serves the American people well. They help Congress, supporting us in our basic responsibilities to be informed and educated on behalf of our constituents. So I want to begin by thanking the women and men of your agencies who work very hard every day to make sure that Congress can perform its Constitutional duties and that we use taxpayer dol- lars responsibly. The past few years have been difficult. Through- out the COVID-19 pandemic, Congress has continued to meet. This means we have asked your employees to show up for work, either in personal or remotely, to help us do our jobs. Then the January 6 attack on the Capitol happened, changing how we must think about and approach security while maintaining an open campus environment so that all people can visit and share this special place. But these challenges didn't stop the Library and its agencies, and the GAO from delivering for Congress and for the American people. CRS ramped up its science and technology anal- ysis capacity to prepare and update thousands of new products to inform Congress on COVID-19 related Details. (1)
