Washington, D.C. – Today, the House Appropriations Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Subcommittee met to consider its Fiscal Year 2026 bill. The measure was approved by the Subcommittee.
Good morning. I’d like to welcome everyone to the subcommittee markup of the Fiscal Year 2026 Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies appropriations bill.
The FY26 Energy and Water bill demonstrates our commitment to safeguarding U.S. national security, unleashing American energy dominance, and advancing our economic competitiveness—in a fiscally responsible manner. The recommendation totals $57.3 billion, a decrease of $766 million below fiscal year 2025.
The bill delivers strong support for our national defense and provides $25.3 billion—an increase of $1.2 billion above FY25—for the National Nuclear Security Administration, prioritizing the continued modernization of the nuclear weapons stockpile and the U.S. Navy nuclear fleet.
Thank you, Chairman Womack, Ranking Members Clyburn and DeLauro, and subcommittee members.
Today’s Transportation, Housing, and Urban Development measure is about building stronger, traveling safer, and supporting American communities.
This bill responsibly and effectively funds critical transportation and housing needs while safeguarding taxpayer dollars.
With targeted investments in surface infrastructure and a meaningful increase to Highway Trust Fund programs, everyone from the traveling public to freight haulers will benefit from more reliable systems and safer travel.
Enhanced resources for FAA facilities and equipment will modernize air traffic control, hire needed controllers, and accelerate the deployment of new technologies. The bill also advances innovation in aircraft certification, drone integration, and automated vehicle development.
