Washington, D.C. – House Appropriations Committee Chairman Tom Cole (R-OK) today announced the final slate of subcommittee chairs for the 118th Congress, officially announcing that Rep. Mark Amodei (R-NV) will chair the Homeland Security Subcommittee.
ICYMI, State and Foreign Operations Subcommittee Chairman Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL) wrote an op-ed for The Miami Herald, noting how the recently-enacted Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024 reestablishes American leadership.
Today’s hearing is on the Navy and Marine Corps fiscal year 2025 budget request for military construction and family housing.
It is a great pleasure to be here today with the Honorable Meredith Berger, Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Energy, Installations, and Environment; Vice Jeffrey Jablon, Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Installations and Logistics, and Lieutenant General Edward Banta, Deputy Commandant, Installations and Logistics for the U. S. Marine Corps.
Military construction and family housing makes up only about 2 percent of the Defense budget. Yet, it has a tremendous impact on our Sailors, Marines, and their families, who feel the impact of infrastructure investments daily.
Military construction dollars not only account for quality of life and family housing projects, but they also directly impact the recruitment, training and readiness of our forces.
