I am pleased to appear before these Subcommittees today to discuss environmental cleanup programs in the Departments of Defense (DoD) and Energy (DOE).

Before I discuss our findings, however, I need to note briefly some of the differences in the ways DoD and DOE structure their environmental activities.
