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.
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.
Thank you very much, Madam Chairwoman.
I am pleased to present the fiscal year 2024 Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs appropriations bill to the full committee for consideration and for approval.
I want to thank Chairwoman Granger for her leadership to get us to this point in the process. I also want to recognize her previous chairmanship and leadership of this subcommittee, as well as the Chairman Emeritus and my friend, Hal Rogers.
