                  DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE APPROPRIATIONS
                                FOR FISCAL YEAR 2022


                                    TUESDAY,  JUNE  8, 2021

                                                        U.S. SENATE,
                      SUBCOMMITTEE  OF THE COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS,
                                                            Washington, DC.
                   The  subcommittee met at 2:06 p.m., in room SD-192, Dirksen
                   Senate Office Building, Hon. Jon Tester, (chairman) presiding.
                   Present: Senators Tester, Durbin, Leahy, Feinstein, Murray,
                   Schatz, Baldwin, Shelby, Murkowski, Moran, Hoeven, and Booz-
                   man.
                                  DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
                                  DEPARTMENT OF THE AIR FORCE
                                    OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY
                  STATEMENT OF HON. JOHN P. ROTH, ACTING SECRETARY
                            OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR JON TESTER
                    Senator TESTER. I want to call the meeting to order. Ranking
                  Member Shelby is on his way, so we will get started.
                    I just want to start by welcoming our witnesses, folks that have
                  been in service to this country for a long, long time. Acting Sec-
                  retary John Roth has over 40 years of service to this Nation as a
                  Department of Defense civilian. With a background in budgeting
                  and financial management, his background makes him an ideal
                  witness for this hearing today.
                    General Charles Brown is the Chief of Staff of the Air Force. His
                  record as a pilot and commander is exceptional, and I might add,
                  he also makes an outstanding travel companion. General, I want
                  to thank you for visiting Malmstrom Air Force Base and the Mon-
                  tana Air National Guard a few weeks ago.
                  And   I just have a question I want you to address in your opening
                  statement, and that is what does the Q in C.Q. Brown stand
                  for?
                    [Laughter.]
                    Senator TESTER. Other than that, it is good.
                    And finally, General John W. Raymond, Chief of Space Oper-
                  ations, welcome. General Raymond has over 30 years career in the
                  space positions and is our Nation's first leader of Space Force. This
                  is the subcommittee's first hearing with General Raymond, and I
                  look forward to hearing your assessment of Space Force and where
                  it stands today.
                                              (1)
