Mr. Chairman, I am pleased to begin consideration of H.R. 4664, the Fiscal Year 2024 Financial Services and General Government appropriations bill.
Before I get into the details, I'd like to recognize the hard work of Chairwoman Granger on this bill and the entire appropriations process. We are one step closer to passing the last remaining few appropriations bills.
I also want to thank my good friend and Ranking Member Steny Hoyer for his input on this bill and the many conversations we've had. Steny is a dear, dear friend of mine. Somebody I've worked very closely with, not only with this bill but on other matters of importance to our country. I consider him a very dear, dear friend and it is an honor to have him at my side as the Ranking Member. And I mean that Steny, sincerely.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and thank you to the distinguished acting Ranking Member, and I too, send my prayers to the family of Jim McGovern for the hardship that the family is facing right now. It's an honor to be before you today as we tee up the Financial Services and General Government Subcommittee appropriations bill. I also want to thank my good friend and Ranking Member, Steny Hoyer. He is a dear friend, and I say that with all sincerity. We've had a lot of conversations through the years, we've worked on a lot of things in a really bipartisan way, but it is an honor to serve with him, and I'm deeply honored that he is the Ranking Member of this Subcommittee.
