Last week, U.S. Rep. Carlos Giménez, R-Fla., chaired a hearing of the U.S. Homeland Subcommittee on Transportation and Maritime Security titled “An Examination of TSA’s FY 2024 Budget and Priorities” to examine the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) budget proposal for Fiscal Year 2024.
TSA Administrator David Pekoske gave testimony before the Committee.
The Transportation and Maritime Security Subcommittee maintains oversight of the TSA and Coast Guard to enhance security of U.S. transportation systems, passengers, cargo, airports, and ports and ensure the safety of our maritime borders.
Below is Gimenez’s line of questioning:
“Administrator, you said that some people would have their pay reduced?”
“With the increase in funding of $30 million for CT scanning machines, what is the estimated completion date?”
“Are you working with outside agencies like CLEAR to offset some of the operational needs that you may have at the airports?”
“What is your timetable for REAL ID?”
“So folks that have Global Entry and an ID card for Global, will you be able to use that for entry now?”
