00:00 In order for the Office of the President to perform its role and discharge its duties,

00:09 we are respectfully requesting a budget of $10,707,927,000 for FY 2024.

00:22 We are asking for a modest increase, but at a rate that is within the norm of previous

00:30 fiscal years.

00:32 The lifting of the pandemic restrictions provides an avenue for the President to conduct in-person

00:40 affairs of the State.

00:44 There are more meetings being now conducted, more Presidential public engagements now being

00:51 held.

00:52 I think many, the Senate President, the Majority Leader, and my fellow Senators are also willing

00:59 to support the President.

01:01 We know the demands of the job.

01:02 The buck stops with him.

01:04 Thank you very much for everything.

01:06 We're here to support if the demands are great.

01:13 The number of disasters has increased.

01:15 The world is getting increasingly unstable.

01:18 So we cannot say what will happen.

01:21 Maybe it would be good if the country remains one of the stable oases in the region and

01:28 in the world.

01:29 So we're here to support.

01:31 Yes, you see, Clayton has this.

01:34 There are no colleagues.

01:35 That means I think they have a vote of confidence in your budget.

01:38 So we will favorably endorse your budget for plenary consideration.

01:43 Thank you.

01:44 Thank you.
