Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you guys so much for being here today. It's great to get this in-depth look. Many of us on this side are excited about the prospect of trying to improve government oversight by aligning the estimates and the budget process, if that seems to be helpful, and also perhaps moving to a cash or accrual system on the estimates process.
It raises a number of questions, however. I'm not sure that pensions would necessarily be the best example, because pensions are going to be statutory. They won't come before us necessarily in the estimates.
How are other types of unfunded liabilities that might get to us currently accounted for in the estimates process? Maybe more important, what additional authority would our committee need to have to provide proper oversight to either approve or provide our support for non-cash appropriations or to deny or reduce authority for non-cash appropriations?
