Thank you, Madam Chair, for yielding.
Chairman Cartwright and Ranking Member Aderholt, thank you for your work on this Commerce, Justice, and Science appropriations bill.
I know both of you have worked together to address priorities of Members on both sides of the aisle.
Unfortunately, this year's bill is overshadowed by partisan politics and unbalanced spending priorities.
The difference of opinion on both issues could slow down our appropriations process this year, leaving us vulnerable at a time when we know our nation is facing increasing threats.
Thank you, Madam Chair, for yielding.
First, I want to thank the chair and ranking member for their work on the Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education bill.

I need to begin my remarks today by noting concerns that Tom and I share about this year's Labor-HHS bill.
