Welcome to todays hearing entitled an overview of the nations Weather Satellite programs and policies. I recognize myself for five minutes for an Opening Statement and then to the Ranking Member, as well. Weve had a number of hearings about all kinds of issues related to satellites from the current programs of record to commercial satellites, we heard testimony about jpss and goes already once this year. This is a Second Opportunity to do so. Some of the concerns that i have are obviously, this is a concern of our country for the accuracy to forecast weather events. For the data which keeps our constituents. This is a good hearing week. We have heard testimony before the delay in goes. We have an extension of some of our programs and we have questions about if that is realistic or not. We have seen know want 16 break apart over thanksgiving and that gives a lot of concern about it didnt just break apart on itself. I know some have suggested that, but it didnt occur on its own.
