Thank you. Thank you. Committee will come to order. I ask unanimous consent that the chair be authorized to declare recesses at any time without objection.

So ordered. Without objection, members have five legislative days within which to submit statements to be made a part of the record. So ordered. We have four items of official business to consider today. Adoption of the committee rules, approval of the committee's security procedures, approval of the committee's authorization and oversight plan, and finally, the appointment of committee staff. Before we begin consideration of the business for Forest Day, I want to recognize myself for a few minutes to welcome everyone to the Armed Services Committee. This committee's fundamental responsibility is to provide for our nation's common defense. The work we do here is critical to the security of our country and that of its allies and partners around the world. And while we have our disagreements, we have a long tradition of carrying out our responsibilities in a bipartisan fashion, and we guard that jealously. That tradition will continue.
