Good morning. I want to thank you all for being here today to discuss the Department of Agriculture’s fiscal year 2025 budget request. Secretary Vilsack, I want to welcome you, and I look forward to hearing more about your priorities for the coming year, as well as having a discussion on other important issues under the jurisdiction of this Subcommittee.
Mr. speaker, I rise today in support of this appropriations package.
I want to start by thanking all of the members and staff who were involved in this process.
Two weeks ago, I talked about the changes house republicans made in how we fund the government.
We made targeted cuts to wasteful programs.
This package is proof of that.
I also mentioned that we increased defense funding – the world around us is becoming more dangerous.
I am proud to say that this bill strengthens our national security and funds critical defense efforts.
