WASHINGTON – Today, the Full Committee met to consider the Fiscal Year 2024 bill for the Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Subcommittee. The measure was approved by the Committee with a vote of 34 to 27.
Thank you, Chairwoman Granger.
The bill before the Committee responsibly funds our most critical transportation and housing needs, which will have a positive impact in every Congressional district.
At the same time, the bill meets the challenge before us to reduce spending and get our debt under control.
The bill reduces spending 25% below Fiscal Year 2023 levels, with a CBO score of $65 billion. We achieve these savings through a rescission of IRS funds and by reducing billions in excessive spending.
Good morning ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies. This morning we will consider a bill funding these agencies for Fiscal Year 2024. I am pleased to chair this Subcommittee and provide support for important programs that touch the lives of every American.
I don't pretend this is a perfect bill, no bill in Congress is ever a perfect bill.
The Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies will come to order.
Today, the Subcommittee will mark up the Fiscal Year 2024 Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies appropriations bill.
The fiscal situation facing the Nation requires some very significant and difficult spending reductions. The need for reductions was reflected in the Budget Resolution that passed the House, and in the 302b allocation we were given.
