Than we hoped to get you in this role, were glad to have you at the helm. We look forward to helping you get a full complement of folks there at the Budget Department as well. The budget approach takes a different approach this year than weve seen in the past. This is portion of the department that falls outside the scope of our committee here. The administration has also requested robust fund frg the cleanup of Nuclear Waste left behind by our countrys cold war legacy. The budget request proposes deep cuts to research and development for energy and science. It also proposes to phaseout innovative programs that have had demonstrated success. I understand what drove this proposal, but im also concerned by certain parts of it. The United States is the world leader in science and energy. We like it that way. We want to keep it that way. And at the core of that is the work done at our National Labs and universities by the men and women who dedicate their careers to further science. Members
