OPENING

REMARKS

SERGEANT AT

ARMS

Mr. ALEXANDER. Thank you. Mr. Irving.Mr. IRVING. Good morning, Mr. Chairman, Ranking Member

Wasserman Schultz, and members of the committee. I appreciatethe opportunity to appear before you today to present the Sergeantat Arms request for fiscal year 2014. Before I begin, I would liketo say that as Sergeant at Arms, it is indeed a unique privilege andhonor for me to serve this institution, and I look forward to work-ing with you and members of the committee. In the current fiscalenvironment, our office is acutely aware of the need to operatewithin tight fiscal boundaries. Our request has been crafted in thespirit of zero-based budgeting, where each division identified costsavings without jeopardizing the mission critical services providedto the House community.

113TH CONGRESSIONAL TRANSITION ACTIVITIES

My full testimony, which I have submitted for the record, con-tains my fiscal year 2014 budget request. In terms of ongoing ef-forts and initiatives, every division in the office of the Sergeant at

Arms was recently involved in the transition to the 113th Con-gress. This includes the distribution of new Member identificationpins and license plates, processing of approximately 14,000 con-gressional identification badges, and issuing over 7,000 parkingpermits to all authorized vehicles.

113TH CONGRESS HOUSE SECURITY ACTIVITIES

Furthermore, the employees of the Sergeant at Arms have sup-ported, reviewed, and approved the security procedures for numer-ous special events, including the opening session of the 113th Con-gress, joint session of the Electoral College, the 57th Presidential

Inauguration, and the annual State of the Union Address by thePresident. Support was also provided off-site to several issues re-treats and the National Prayer Breakfast. Planning is currentlyunderway for the annual Peace Officers Memorial Service and up-coming events on the west front lawn of the campus.

In closing, I would like to thank the committee again for theirsupport and the privilege of appearing today. I assure you of mycommitment and that of my entire office to provide the highestquality support for the House of Representatives, while maintain-ing the safest and securest environment possible. We will remainfocused on security and preparedness, while maintaining the levelof fiscal responsibility demanded by the House of Representatives.I will continue to keep the committee informed of my activities, andwill be happy to answer any questions you may have. Thank you.
