OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR JEANNE SHAHEEN
Senator SHAHEEN. Good morning, everyone.
I apologize for being late and for being a little disorganized this
morning. Welcome.
I want to especially thank our witnesses who are here today.
Gene L. Dodaro, who is the Comptroller General, thank you for
being here; Davita Vance-Cooks, the Acting Public Printer, very
nice to have you here; and Doug Elmendorf, who is the Director of
the Congressional Budget Office. I am pleased to be joined by the
ranking member on this subcommittee, Senator Hoeven.

tration continue, and should your budget requests not be honored.
I am going to ask you to focus on those, which I am sure you were
planning anyway, as part of your remarks.
And we will begin, Mr. Dodaro, with you.
