I want to thank the chair for presenting the Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education bill.

I know she has worked extremely hard to have the opportunity to hold both of these positions, and I have great respect for her dedication to these issues.
I also want to thank Mr. Cole, who serves as both the vice ranking member of the full committee and the ranking member of this subcommittee.
WASHINGTON – Today, the full committee met to consider the fiscal year 2022 appropriations bills for the subcommittees on Interior and Environment and State and Foreign Operations. Committee Republicans were unable to support the bills due to the total spending level and controversial policy provisions that are in the bills.
Madam Chair, thank you for yielding.
First, I want to thank Chairwoman Lee and Ranking Member Rogers for their work on this State and Foreign Operations bill.
I want to also thank the chair for including the full amount for Israel - $3.3 billion. Full funding makes it clear that the members of this committee are steadfast supporters of our great ally and partner.
Funding was also maintained at the current level for other key partners in the Middle East, such as Egypt and Jordan.
