The committee will come to order, without objection, the chair is authorized to declare recesses of the committee at any time. Welcome to the hearing entitled an overview of the Budget Proposal for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration for fiscal year 2025. I recognize myself, for five minutes for the opening statement. Today, we hear testimony from bill nelson about the Budget Proposal for nasa to fiscal year 2025, this committee plays an Important Role in the mission by providing policy direction and authorizing activities for the agency. While we make progress with language included in the 2022 chips and science act, it has been more than seven years since the last comprehensive nasa reauthorization bill was signed into law. I am certain everyone, including the administrator, can agree seven years is far too long, as experts have highlighted in Committee Hearings this year, a lot has changed for nasa since 2017. We must approach an authorization built with these changes
