Conflict between israel and hamas and the russiaukraine war. Appointing before a Senate Appropriations on the 2025 budget request. Youre watching live coverage on cspan3. I want to call this hearing to order. Good morning. I want to welcome our witnesses, secretary austin and general brown. We appreciate you being with us here today. General brown, this is your first appearance before the subcommittee. Your position today, and i want to thank you for your commitment and Longstanding Service to our nation. Secretary austin, lester, when you testified before this committee, we discussed the default. Thankfully, cooler heads prevailed and we were able to come together with a bipartisan matter to avoid a catastrophic Government Shutdown but we have failed miserably in getting the budget down on time. Here we are, more than halfway through the fiscal year and you just got your budget, albeit six months late. These repeated delays have real impact and i hope you will illustrate for us the im
And by the way, well, maybe, of course, ill take on such a mission, but on from our uh , in my opinion, the very third flight, it was we who resumed this tradition of drinking tea in the house, because really uh Sergei Pavlovich korolev, just on the eve of gagarins start, came to the house where he was next door to the neighboring house, and came to visit. They drank tea with gagarin titov, it really went down in history and im very glad that the museum will support this tradition. We are happy to come. Here are the crew skins. We were it was another such immersion in astronautics in history. That is , they saw real things that Sergei Pavlovich korolev lived, visited his house , heard a lot of interesting things from your colleagues and i know exactly. All this time they remember how such a good, kind, hospitable place where you always want to return. Well, besides the traditions that are associated with the house of Sergei Pavlovich korolev, i also want to talk about those that it see

These are all bridges, but there are real musicians, this is their path. Yeah, im for it, if they understand it, if its happiness for them, im all for it, but i didnt understand it then. For me this was not happiness, so it was impossible to exploit me, an unfortunate child. I received a count it was the doors closed in the trolleybus and the trolleybuses were traveling and with it this music left, but Something Else arrived. Which no longer left me indifferent to the class and only rock and roll, but the essence of rock and roll, especially in the punk direction is an opportunity.

In a natural relationship. But that being said, you dont want to create the government has a responsibility to the taxpayer to be fair and to be transparent. You have to do that. The question becomes how can you do that but at the same time give industry the flexibility to do what they need to do . I dont know there is a good answer which is why acquisition reform has been a buzzword for decades and continues to be something we continue to strive for and continue to struggle with. But i would say that is probably the hard problem of the century. But nevertheless it is something we have to continue to strive to get better because there is a balance between letting industry innovate and letting industry take responsibility and put goods into the hands of the war fighter that meet the war fighters needs and making sure that the responsibility to the taxpayer is upheld.
