WASHINGTON - Today, the House Appropriations Committee released the Fiscal Year 2024 bill for the State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Subcommittee. The bill will be considered tomorrow, June 23rd at 10:30 a.m. The markup will be live-streamed and can be found on the Committee's website.
As we continue to move through markups, it is important to remember that this is not a normal funding year. Trillions of dollars were spent outside of the annual appropriations process during the last Congress, and we must re-evaluate our spending priorities.
Let me begin by thanking the Members of the Committee for their participation in the process of putting the Homeland Security bill together.
We made a concerted effort to address as many Member priorities as possible.
Our job on this Committee is to provide the resources required to keep our nation safe. This bill ensures that the men and women of the Department of Homeland Security, who work tirelessly on our behalf, have the resources and tools they need to protect this great nation.
First, I want to thank the Subcommittee Chairman for his work on the Legislative Branch appropriations bill.
This bill is a great example of what needs to be done to reduce overall spending while funding our highest priorities.
This bill responsibly reduces funding for the Legislative Branch by 2%.
This is done without impacting the day-to-day operations of Congress or sacrificing the security of the Capitol complex.
It supports our brave Capitol police officers.
