Remarks
Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. I rise in support of the Senate Amendments to H.R. 6500, the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2027. Mr. Speaker, today is the first day of September. At this time of year, some people think of fall... Some people, like me, think of football - but on the Appropriations Committee, our focus is on the coming end of the fiscal year. September 30 marks the end of Fiscal Year 2026, and that means both the House and Senate must act to fund the government for the coming fiscal year.
