The subcommittee met at 10:32 a.m. in room SD-138, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Hon. John Boozman (chairman) presiding. Present: Senators Boozman, Cochran, Murkowski, Hoeven, Lankford, Kennedy, Tester, Shaheen, Leahy, Baldwin, and Manchin. U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY STATEMENT OF HON. JOHN F. KELLY, SECRETARY OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR JOHN BOOZMAN Senator BOOZMAN. I call this hearing of the Subcommittee on Homeland Security to order. This is my first hearing as Chairman of the subcommittee, and it is the subcommittee's first hearing to review the fiscal year 2018 Budget request, which was submitted to Congress earlier this week. I want to begin by thanking the Secretary of Homeland Security, the Honorable John Kelly, for being here today. We know that you are very, very busy and again appreciate you being here. Secretary Kelly, we do understand the demands on your sched- ule. Your testimony represents your first appearance before this subcommittee in your new role. I would also like to welcome the subcommittee's Ranking Mem- ber, the distinguished senator and my friend from Montana, Sen- ator Tester. I am also pleased that Senator Leahy, the vice-chair- man of the full committee, has joined us. The Department of Homeland Security plays a pivotal role in keeping Americans safe by working to combat terrorism, manage our air, land, and sea borders, administer our immigration laws, secure critical cyber assets, and prepare for and respond to disas- ters. The tragic events in Manchester, England earlier this week remind us of why we must focus on the serious challenge of secur- ing our homeland. Mr. Secretary, you have dedicated your career to serving our na- tional security interests, and in just a few months you have proven your ability to lead the Department during a very challenging time. This Subcommittee will work to support you and the men and women of the Department, who are working every day to keep us (1)
