Thanking them for their service to our country. Both have served our country in various capacities for a long time. Not an easy thing to do. I respect and appreciate that work. I look forward to continuing to work with you. The good news i want to start with is unlike last year we have a budget agreement. And last year we spent a lot of time talking about how difficult it is to run anything in the government but certainly the department of defense without Appropriations Bills in a timely manner.

We did get Appropriations Bills and an authorizing bill done by december of last year which gives some predictability to the department. I think thats important. This year we hope to come a little bit closer to october 1st. Certainly on the authorizing bill, but also in the appropriations bill. Most importantly, we have a budget number. And hopefully we can get that pre

If you want to rubber stamp the process, keep doing the way youre doing it. Ms. Saldana, section 1373 of title 8 of the u. S.

But imagine almost seven hours into a long flight and you get physically ripped out of a seat you paid for and thrown off the plane and get your teeth knocked out or getting your infant child on the site and yanks a stroller out of the way and nearly hits your baby. These are recent examples of serious disturbing Customer Service breakdowns. I expect well hear more examples when the members of this committee get their opportunities to question the witnesses. There will be tough questions today and make no mistake about it you owe the public and this committee answers. Hundreds of millions of people fly in this country every year and 2 Million People will fly today or something close to 2 million and theyre tired of being treated in
