The subcommittee met at 10:01 a.m. in room SR-192, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Hon. Martin Heinrich (chairman) presiding. Present: Senators Heinrich, Tester, Boozman, Murkowski, Hoeven, Collins, and Hagerty. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE MILITARY CONSTRUCTION AND FAMILY HOUSING STATEMENT OF PAUL CRAMER, PERFORMING THE DUTIES OF ASSIST- ANT SECRETARY OF DEFENSE FOR SUSTAINMENT OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR MARTIN HEINRICH Senator HEINRICH. Good morning, everyone. This hearing of the Military Construction Veteran's Affairs and Related Agencies Ap- propriation Subcommittee is now called to order. I would very much like to thank our witnesses for being here today. From OSD we have Mr. Paul Cramer performing the duties of assistant secretary of defense for sustainment. Representing each of the Services are: Lieutenant General Jason Evans, Deputy Chief of Staff, G-9 Installations; Vice Admiral Ricky Williamson, Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Fleet Readiness and Logis- tics; Lieutenant General Charles Chiarotti, Deputy Commandant, Installations and Logistics; and Lieutenant General Warren Berry, Deputy Chief of Staff for Logistics, Engineering, and Force Protec- tion. This year the Department has sent over a budget request of 9.85 billion for the Military Construction and Family Housing accounts. That is a 20 percent increase over last year's request. I am encour- aged to see DOD taking seriously the need to invest in its infra- structure, which is the foundation of military readiness. In addition to significant increases to most Service accounts, the request demonstrates a clear intent to prioritize quality of life projects for our Service members and their families. While the re- quest rebounds from a significant decrease last year, it remains lower than fiscal years 2019 and 2020, and still accounts for just over 1 percent of the total DOD budget. (1)
