Washington, D.C. – Today, House Appropriations Committee Chairman Tom Cole (R-OK) released the following statement: Chairman Tom Cole said, "There are few corners of Capitol Hill where South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham wasn't known. Whether you knew him personally or simply watched him at work, he was impossible to ignore. “Lindsey was a ubiquitous presence in Washington – with few office holders as visible, quotable, or energetic as him. For more than three decades, he served throughout the House and Senate – building a reputation as a determined legislator, a media presence, and a dealmaker.

Washington, D.C. – Full-year, enacted appropriations bills not only take the threat of partisan government shutdowns off the table, but they also implement results-driven measures that prioritize the safety, strength, and prosperity of the United States. The FY26 National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs appropriations bill – led by NSRP Subcommittee Chairman Mario Díaz-Balart – and signed into law by President Trump – refocused U.S. foreign policy resources on core national security priorities, including deterrence, countering narcotics and human trafficking, and confronting the malign influence of adversaries.
