WASHINGTON - Today, the House and Senate Appropriations Committees released the first package of final Fiscal Year 2024 appropriations bills. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024 will be considered in the House the week of March 4th. House Appropriations Chairwoman Kay Granger released the following statement after the package was released:
Mr./Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of this short-term continuing resolution. This bill extends government funding until March 8th for 4 bills and March 22nd for the others.
Given the differences between this year’s House and Senate bills, we knew finding common ground would not be easy. But, we have made progress, and we need a few more weeks to finish drafting the bills. We also need to give members adequate time to review them.
In the meantime, we can’t afford a harmful government shutdown. I urge my colleagues to support this C.R., and I reserve the balance of my time.
