Nice to get started. This morning we will consider the president s budget request for the u. S. Forest service for fy 2021. Chief christiansen, its good to be able to welcome you back to the committee, thank you for being here. We say around here that the president s budget request is just that, it is a request.

Followed by the house impeachment managers, accompanied by the house clerk and sergeant at arms delivering the articles to the senate chamber. Speaker pelosi good afternoon. Good afternoon, my colleagues. As you know, on december 18, the house of representatives upheld its constitutional duty and voted articles of impeachment against the president of the united states, donald trump. It said in the course of the debate that he did not uphold his oath of office to defend the constitution. The president takes a special oath, different from the congressional oath. He takes an oath taken by president george washington, the , iniarch of our country front of whose picture we stand here. So tragic for our country that the actions taken by the president to undermine our national security, to violate his oath of office and jeopardize the integrity of our elections has taken us to this place. Today, we will make history. When the managers walk down the hall, we will cross a threshold in history,
