The Subcommittee will come to order.
I want to welcome everyone to the Subcommittee Markup of the Fiscal Year 2024 Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations bill.
I am pleased to be joined by Ranking Member DeLauro, Ranking Member Quigley, and the Members of the Subcommittee.
I believe the bill before the subcommittee responsibly funds our most critical transportation and housing needs, which will have a positive impact in every congressional district.
WASHINGTON – Today, the Full Committee met to consider the Fiscal Year 2024 bill for the State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Subcommittee. The measure was approved by the Committee with a vote of 32 to 27.
I want to thank Chairman Cole for presenting the Fiscal Year 2024 Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies bill. I appreciate the work he has done on this Subcommittee.
This bill is another example of the real progress we are making to reduce overall spending while funding our highest priorities.
The bill 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.
As we continue our work on the Fiscal Year 2024 bills, I want to remind everyone of the situation we find ourselves in.
During the last Congress, trillions of dollars were spent outside of the appropriations process.
We have no choice but to take a hard look at the spending this Committee oversees.
The State and Foreign Operations appropriations bill before us strikes the right balance.
It funds important national security priorities while reducing spending on unnecessary programs.
