Washington, D.C. – The House Appropriations Committee has advanced critical national security protections for the U.S. nuclear triad in response to growing threats from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and other adversaries seeking to encroach on America’s most sensitive military installations. Language included in the FY27 Financial Services and General Government funding bill and report will strengthen oversight of foreign ownership near key strategic assets – including sites like Whiteman Air Force Base in Rep. Mark Alford's (R-MO) district – where CCP-linked entities are strategically acquiring properties in close proximity to America's premier nuclear deterrence capabilities. 

With May 1st here, we are reflecting on April at the House Appropriations Committee. From FY27 bill drops and markups to hearings and welcoming a new member, we kept our work in full bloom – moving measures, maximizing momentum, and making every proceeding count. As we spring forward, we’re sharing snapshots of the progress driving us into another month because April Article I powers bring more May markup hours!
