Thank you, Chairman Cole, for your remarks on this bill and for your leadership. This Committee is fulfilling its constitutional duty thanks to your dedication.
And thank you, Ranking Member DeLauro, for your leadership on this committee. I trust that the day is not far off when we will work together to negotiate these bills in good faith with the Senate and the White House so that we avoid a catastrophic shutdown or long-term CR.
Ranking Member Clyburn, thank you for your honest and thoughtful engagement on the subcommittee, and for your friendship.

I rise today to offer H.R. 4016, the Fiscal Year 2026 Department of Defense Appropriations Act. I want to start by thanking Chairman Cole for his leadership in this process. I also thank the Defense subcommittee ranking member, Ms. McCollum, for her partnership and friendship. Finally, I thank the defense subcommittee staff for their tireless work on this year’s bill.
H.R. 4016 provides $831.5 billion for the Department of Defense and the Intelligence Community. While this is flat relative to discretionary funds enacted in fiscal year 2025, coupled with the recently enacted reconciliation act, it provides nearly $1 trillion to modernize and sustain our armed forces.
