OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR LAMAR ALEXANDER
Senator ALEXANDER. The Subcommittee on Energy and Water
Development, please come to order.
Today's hearing will review the Administration's fiscal year 2018
budget request for the Department of Energy. This is the sub-
committee's third budget hearing this year. We have our final hear-
ing on the budgets for the Corps of Engineers and Bureau of Rec-
lamations next week.
Senator Feinstein and I will each have an opening statement. I'll
then welcome the other Senators who are here, and I'll recognize
each of you for up to 5 minutes for an opening statement, if you'd
like to make one after Senator Feinstein and I finish, alternating
between the majority and minority.
Our guys must still be at lunch or something.
[Laughter.]
Senator ALEXANDER. Congratulate the democrats for being here.
We will then turn to Secretary Perry, whom we welcome today,
for testimony on behalf of the Department of Energy. And at the
conclusion of Secretary Perry's testimony, I'll recognize Senators for
5 minutes of questions each, alternating between the majority and
minority in the order in which they arrived. I want to make sure
that there's-Mr. Secretary, I hope your schedule permits it, but
we may have several questions, and my instinct is to let the Sen-
ators ask the questions that they want to ask.
