STATEMENT OF HON. STEPHEN T. AYERS, ARCHITECT OF THE CAP-
ITOL
OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR JEANNE SHAHEEN
Senator SHAHEEN. Good morning, everyone. This is the Appro-
priations Subcommittee on the Legislative Branch. We're going to
do things a little differently this morning because we have three
votes at 10 o'clock, which you all may be aware of.
I apologize. I'm losing my voice. So I think what we're going to
do is hear from each of you and then recess. And Senator Hoeven
may have some questions if we have a few minutes before we have
to go vote. And then we are going to take questions for the record
from the remainder of the subcommittee and from me, because I
think I'm not going to make it too long, with my voice.
So I apologize again, and am delighted that this morning we are
here to hear from the Honorable Stephen Ayers, who is the Archi-
tect of the Capitol.
Mr. AYERS. Good morning.
Senator SHAHEEN. The Honorable Nancy Erickson, who is the
Secretary of the Senate; the Honorable Terrance Gainer, who is the
Sergeant at Arms to the Senate; and Chief Kim Dine, who is the
head of the U.S. Capitol Police.
PREPARED STATEMENT
Thank you all very much for being here. I am going to dispense
with my opening statement and submit it for the record.
[The statement follows:]
