I want to thank the chairwoman for holding this important hearing on the Department of Homeland Security's fiscal year 2023 budget.
Thank you also, Secretary Mayorkas for joining us. We look forward to your testimony today.
First, I want to honor Texas National Guardsman Bishop Evans.
Specialist Evans lost his life over the weekend saving two migrants from drowning.
Our deepest condolences go out to the family and friends of Specialist Evans, as well as the Texas National Guard.
Mister Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 2471, a bill that will provide funding for the Federal Government through the end of this fiscal year.
While it has taken us far too long to get here, I am glad we were able to produce a bill that includes many funding priorities that I support.
Since last summer, I have made it clear that House Republicans wouldn't oppose appropriations bills unless they:
WASHINGTON – Rep. Kay Granger (R-TX), the Lead Republican on the House Appropriations Committee, announced the Honorable David Norquist, the 34th Deputy Secretary of Defense, former Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller)/Chief Financial Officer, and previous House Appropriations Committee professional staff member, as her selection for the Commission on Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution Reform (PPBE). The congressionally-mandated committee was created through the Fiscal Year 2022 National Defense Authorization Act to address the Department of Defense's PPBE process.
