Chairman Cole, Ranking Member McGovern, and Members of the Committee, thank you for the opportunity to testify on the Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act.
The bill includes $14.3 billion in urgently needed funding to support Israel in their war against some of the world's most evil and vile terrorists, Hamas.
Let us not forget what happened. On October 7th, Hamas murdered, raped, and maimed thousands of Israelis, including babies, toddlers, and the elderly. Hundreds of hostages were taken into Gaza. It was pure evil.
WASHINGTON – Today, the House of Representatives met to consider H.R. 4394, The Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act. The measure was approved by the House with a vote of 210 to 199.
Mr. Chairman, it's my distinct honor to bring the Fiscal Year 2024 Energy and Water bill before you today.
Before I go into the details, I'd like to recognize the hard work of Chairwoman Granger and Ranking Member DeLauro on this bill and the appropriations process. I'd also like to thank my Ranking Member, Ms. Kaptur, for being a tremendous partner throughout this year's process.
At a total of $56.958 billion, the Energy and Water bill advances our national security, our energy security, and our economic competitiveness in a fiscally responsible manner.
