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.
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.
I want to thank Chairman Aderholt for presenting the Fiscal Year 2024 Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education appropriations bill. I appreciate the work he has done on this bill.
The bill works to responsibly fund programs that help improve the health and lives of the American people.
It also holds agencies accountable when there has been a history of poor performance or controversial activities.
I want to thank Chairman Rogers for presenting the Fiscal Year 2024 Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies appropriations bill.
I also want to thank the Chairman for funding the important programs in the bill while reducing spending on lower priorities.
I am pleased to say this bill strikes a careful balance.
