Hearing of the Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee - FY 2015 Commerce, Justice, Science Bill and Report on the Suballocation of Budget Allocations

Hearing

This meeting will come to order.

I welcome you all to our second full committee meeting of the year.

As you may know, today is the memorial for one of our distinguished and respected friends and former colleagues, Jim Oberstar. Some of our members are at the service today, and we send his family and many friends our thoughts and condolences.

Turning to our business for the day - We have two items on our agenda today: consideration of the Commerce, Justice, and Science Appropriations bill for fiscal year 2015, and approval of the final, complete set of 302(b) suballocations.

We are fresh off a successful week, and I hope to continue that success today. I would like to congratulate you all on the passage of our first two Appropriations bills -- particularly Chairman Cole and Chairman Culberson, and Ranking Member Wasserman Schultz and Ranking Member Bishop. Two down, 10 to go.

Thank you all for being here on time and ready to work. I look forward to another respectful and constructive markup today
