Thank you, Chairman Valadao, Ranking Member Espaillat, Ranking Member DeLauro, and all our members.
We’ve had a busy FY26 appropriations schedule this week, and we are rounding it out with a markup for a bill fundamental to those duties.
The Legislative Branch measure is central to our democracy. It supports the operations of this House on behalf of the American people and provides resources to help our constituents.
Importantly, we exercise responsible governance by protecting key priorities and refocusing agencies on their core missions. This both safeguards taxpayer dollars and ensures proper operational scope.
It is my pleasure to present the FY26 Legislative Branch Appropriations Bill and report for your consideration today. I appreciate the opportunity to work once again with Ranking Member Espaillat and the minority staff throughout the FY26 process. I’d also like to thank Chairman Cole and Ranking Member DeLauro for their continued leadership.

Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume and I thank my good friend Judge Carter for yielding me time.
I rise today in support of this important piece of legislation.
Prioritizing veterans and troops says everything about our values—and that’s exactly what this first FY26 bill does.
The Military Construction and Veterans Affairs Appropriations Act is a testament to caring for those who’ve selflessly worn America’s uniform, their families, and the defenders who follow their path of service.
We meet this mission not only in words of gratitude, but in policies that support them.
This legislation provides full funding for health care and benefits for our nation’s veterans and implements an advance for the Toxic Exposure Fund. This marks enhanced investment under President Trump, which is also reflected in critical mental health initiatives and work to fight homelessness.
I am honored to present the FY26 Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Appropriations Bill to the House today. This bill supports our troops, their families and the nation’s veterans.
The bill includes nearly $18 billion for military construction efforts. It is critical that our servicemembers and their families have the infrastructure and support they need. This bill delivers to construct and improve military housing, child care centers, and other quality of life components that are so important to those that risk so much.
This bill continues to build on investments that strengthen our national security through the construction of modern infrastructure and improvements to critical quality of life facilities for our servicemembers and their families.
