IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel testified on the agency's priorities and President Biden's 2024 budget request before the Senate Finance Committee. Senators asked how the IRS has improved its customer service and how it is enforcing existing laws, such as cracking down on wealthy tax evaders who use secret offshore accounts. Commissioner Werfel said funding from the Inflation Reduction Act helped improve service, but the agency has been underfunded since 2010, and requested $1.8 billion for fiscal year 2024. He also pledged that the IRS will not raise audit rates for small businesses and households making less than $400,000 per year, and articulated three of the agency's highest priorities: customer service, ensuring wealthy individuals and corporations pay what they owe, and modernization of IRS infrastructure.

FBI Director Christopher Wray testified on the president's 2024 budget request for the agency before a House Appropriations subcommittee. He emphasized the threat that the Chinese government poses to the U.S., saying that China's cyber hacking program is bigger than those of all other nations combined, with its hackers outnumbering FBI personnel by a ratio of about fifty to one. Also, committee members pressed him about cracking down on fentanyl cartels, reauthorization of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, and an anticipated surge in illegal immigration amid the upcoming expiration of Title 42 in May. In response to accusations of the FBI being politically biased against Republicans, Director Wray said, "people's standard for whether they think something was fair, or objective, or independent boils down to whether or not they like the outcome."
