The subcommittee met at 9:32 a.m., in room SD-138, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Hon. Jeanne Shaheen (chairwoman) pre- siding. Present: Senators Shaheen, Hoeven, and Boozman. LIBRARY OF CONGRESS STATEMENT OF HON. JAMES H. BILLINGTON, LIBRARIAN OF CON- GRESS ACCOMPANIED BY ROBERT DIZARD, JR., DEPUTY LIBRARIAN OF CON- GRESS OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR JEANNE SHAHEEN Senator SHAHEEN. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the first subcommittee hearing on the legislative branch. I am Jeanne Shaheen, Senator from New Hampshire. I will be chairing this subcommittee for the next 2 years. I think of everyone on the subcommittee, only Senator Hoeven is returning. So it is nice to have Senator Boozman here this morning, and we will- hopefully at some point today or at some other hearing-be joined by Senators Merkley and Begich as well. I am very pleased to be here with all of you, and looking forward to working with this sub- committee, and all of the agencies that we oversee over the next 2 years. Obviously, I would like to continue the long tradition that we have in this subcommittee of working closely together, in a bipar- tisan way, to write and pass a bill that both funds agency priorities and recognizes the very tight budget constraints that we are all still operating under. I believe with strong oversight and by work- ing together, we can achieve both. Today is the first of four hearings that we are going to have over the next several weeks on the fiscal year 2014 budget request, and today we will receive testimony from the Library of Congress (LOC) and from the Open World Leadership Center (OWLC). I want to welcome our two witnesses. First, Dr. James H. Billington, who is the Librarian of Congress, and Ambassador John O'Keefe, who is the Executive Director of OWLC. Thank you both for joining us this morning. Dr. Billington, (1)
