Excerpt from Department of Energy's National Security Programs Budget Request for Fiscal Year 2004: Hearing Before the Strategic Forces Subcommittee of the Committee on Armed Services House of Representatives One Hundred Eighth Congress First Session

Opening Statement Of Hon. Terry Everett, A Rep-Resentative From Alabama, Chairman, Strategic Forces Subcommittee
Mr. Everett. The hearing will come to order. The Strategic Forces Subcommittee meets today to receive testimony on Department of Energy's (DOE's) fiscal year 2004 budget requests, atomic energy defense activities. I welcome Under Secretary Card, who I believe is testifying for the first time before the Armed Services Committee, and Assistant Secretary Roberson, who I understand is from my district in L.A. And for those of you who do not know where that is, that is lower Alabama.
Under Secretary Card will provide testimony on the Department of Energy's request for defense environmental management. So, perhaps, that is a poor choice of words. As I understand, the departments focus is not stock management, but rather clean up and closure.
I also want to welcome Dr. Beckner from the National Nuclear Security Administration (Nnsa). Dr. Beckner is the Deputy Secretary of Defense Programs. Weapons activities compose over 70 percent of the$8.8 billion request for Nnsa. And I am competent that if members have questions that fall outside Dr. Beckner sexpertise, he will get answers for us.
We have a lot of ground to cover today. And I want to allow each of our members as great an opportunity as possible to ask questions, so I will be brief. Likewise, I would ask our witnesses and members also to be brief with their prepared remarks and questions. The entirety of all written testimony will be entered into the record.
Under Secretary Card has done the admirable task of cleaning up a Cold War legacy of 114 contaminated sights resulting from more than a half-century of Rd production testing of nuclear weapons. The magnitude of the problem is apparent when one considers that 40 percent of the funds requested for atomic energy activities,$6.8 billion, support this undertaking.

The Under Secretary and Assistant Secretary of the Department of Energy discuss their plans to redirect emphasis from risk management to risk reduction for legacy sites and contaminated sights resulting from nuclear weapons testing over the past half-century. Additionally, the Deputy Administrator of the National Nuclear Security Administration addresses the ongoing challenges to maintain confidence in the nation's nuclear stockpile in the absence of nuclear weapons testing. The author notes that the science-based approach to stewardship remains a difficult technical challenge, with the number and variety of weapons in the stockpile decreasing, and the time elapsed since the last test growing.
