Thank you, Chairwoman Granger.
The bill before the Committee responsibly funds our most critical transportation and housing needs, which will have a positive impact in every Congressional district.
At the same time, the bill meets the challenge before us to reduce spending and get our debt under control.
The bill reduces spending 25% below Fiscal Year 2023 levels, with a CBO score of $65 billion. We achieve these savings through a rescission of IRS funds and by reducing billions in excessive spending.
First, I want to thank Chairman Cole for his work on the Transportation, Housing and Urban Development bill.
This bill is another example of the real progress we are making to reduce overall spending while funding our highest priorities.
The bill before us today refocuses spending on programs that support affordable housing and safe, effective transportation systems.
Instead of giving the Administration more grant funding to spend, this bill gets us back to funding core missions.
I want to thank Chairman Rogers for presenting the Fiscal Year 2024 Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies appropriations bill.
I also want to thank the Chairman for funding the important programs in the bill while reducing spending on lower priorities.
I am pleased to say this bill strikes a careful balance.
Good morning ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies. This morning we will consider a bill funding these agencies for Fiscal Year 2024. I am pleased to chair this Subcommittee and provide support for important programs that touch the lives of every American.
I don't pretend this is a perfect bill, no bill in Congress is ever a perfect bill.
