Madam Chair, thank you for presenting the Military Construction and Veterans Affairs bill today.
I appreciate the work that you and Ranking Member Carter have done this year, reaching across the aisle to fund many projects important to our Members.
Unfortunately, just like the bills we discussed yesterday, this bill is based on a funding framework that the Majority party developed without Republican support.
This difference of opinion on funding priorities and on policy positions could slow down our appropriations process this year.
Chairman Bishop, thank you for presenting the fiscal year 2022 Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies appropriations bill.
I also want to recognize the ranking member of the subcommittee, Mr. Fortenberry.
I know both of you have worked together to fund priorities of Members on both sides of the aisle.
While this bill funds many important programs, it is based on a funding framework that does not have bipartisan support.
To put it simply, the increases proposed for non-defense bills like this one are just too high.
WASHINGTON – Today, the subcommittees on Financial Services and General Government and Legislative Branch met to consider their appropriations bills for fiscal year 2022. The measures were reported out to the full committee with concerns raised by Republicans.
I want to begin by thanking the subcommittee chairman, Mr. Ryan, for presenting the fiscal year 2022 Legislative Branch appropriations bill.
I also want to recognize the ranking member, Ms. Herrera Beutler.
Over the last six months, I have seen the dedication you both have given to solving issues important to all Members of Congress. You have truly worked overtime, and we are grateful for your service on this subcommittee.
