Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of this bill to provide funding for the heroes in our National Guard and Capitol Police, as well as the brave people of Afghanistan who supported our troops overseas.
While I am disappointed that it has taken this long to reach an agreement, the bill before us today is a strong package that deserves our support.
This bill:
Thank you, Madam Speaker.
I rise today in strong opposition to H.R. 4346, the fiscal year 2022 Legislative Branch appropriations bill.
I wish I could support this important piece of legislation, but unfortunately, it has too many flaws, and it does not reflect the type of bipartisan agreement that we must have to complete the appropriations process this year.
At a time of record-high deficits and debt, now is not the time to double-down on increasing domestic spending.
This bill alone includes a nearly 13% increase over current levels.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
I rise today in strong opposition to H.R. 4373, the fiscal year 2022 State and Foreign Operations appropriations bill.
This bill has many fatal flaws, in spite of Republican efforts to improve it. The concerns raised during markup were not addressed, and many of the amendments we offered at the Rules Committee have not been made in order on the floor today.
I'll begin with our list of major complaints.
To put it simply, the spending level is too high, and the policies are too controversial.
Thank you, Madam Speaker.
I rise today in strong opposition to H.R. 4502, a package of seven fiscal year 2022 appropriations bills that will be considered by the House this week.
I wish the circumstances were different and I could support this important piece of legislation that funds critical programs.
Unfortunately, after months of committee hearings and markups, this year's bills have too many fatal flaws.
First, there is no agreement between Republicans and Democrats on the topline spending level for appropriations.
