Good morning. Welcome.
Today’s hearing is on the quality of life for our enlisted soldiers, sailors, marines, airmen, guardians, and their families.
The five witnesses at the table represent the highest enlisted level of leadership for their respective branches.
I am pleased that we are having this hearing again to start off Fiscal Year 2025. This group’s insight is critical. This hearing is a great opportunity to identify areas where we can be more helpful to our service members and their families.
WASHINGTON - In advance of the Committee beginning its hearings next week on the President's Fiscal Year 2025 Budget Request, House Appropriations Chairwoman Kay Granger announced the following changes to the Republican subcommittee rosters for the remainder of the 118th Congress. These changes fill the assignments previously held by the Honorable Chris Stewart (UT).
Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of this six-bill appropriations package. I am glad we are here considering full-year bills, and I want to thank everyone who participated in this process.
With the odds stacked against us, House Republicans made progress in how we fund the government. We drafted the most conservative bills in history. Members submitted over one thousand amendments. We considered House bills individually on the floor, and we avoided a massive omnibus measure.
Thank you. I rise in support of the Consolidated Appropriations Act for fiscal year 2024.
I’d like to commend Chairwoman Granger for her leadership of the Appropriations Committee and for getting the first six bills across the finish line. I would also like to thank the Interior Subcommittee Ranking Member Pingree for her partnership.
Together, we’ve negotiated a reasonable compromise to avoid a government shutdown that fails to respond to our nation’s needs and maintain our public lands.
