Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the three who are here to testify today. I appreciate it.
I especially thank you, Mr. Pelletier, and all of your Coast Guard members so bravely serving to protect our coastline. I want to pass on my expression of gratitude for their work.
I'll start with Mr. Burns, if I may.
Mr. Burns, how long have you been in the position of ADM at the department?
