WASHINGTON – Today, Rep. Kay Granger (TX), the Lead Republican on the House Appropriations Committee, announced Rep. Julia Letlow (LA) will fill the vacant Republican seat on the committee for the remainder of the 117th Congress. Following the Republican Steering Committee's meeting Tuesday, the Republican Conference ratified the Steering Committee's recommendation for Letlow to fill the seat. Letlow will serve on the Agriculture, Rural Development, and Food and Drug Administration Subcommittee and the State and Foreign Operations Subcommittee.
Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 7691, a bill that would provide additional assistance to Ukraine and other partners in the region.
Ten weeks ago, we witnessed Russia begin its attack on the sovereign nation of Ukraine.
To support Ukraine and our allies during this unprovoked, illegal, and appalling attack, Congress provided nearly 14 billion dollars in emergency funding through the fiscal year 2022 appropriations bills.
That funding has been crucial in Ukraine's efforts to fight back against Putin's evil invasion.
Thank you, Madam Chairwoman. Welcome, Secretary Mayorkas. I sincerely thank you for joining us today.
Continuing the dialogue that we had on a bipartisan basis before the Easter break will be important in the weeks to come.
I am hopeful you can provide some additional insight into the plan that you released yesterday afternoon that outlines six border security pillars to address the historic number of migrants encountered by our agents and officers.
