Remarks

Madam 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.

We looked hard at our needs and developed a package to carry us through the process. Two weeks ago, I talked about the changes House Republicans made regarding how we fund the government. We made targeted cuts to wasteful programs and developed a package that is proof of that. We looked at each need, and it was clear that the world is becoming a more dangerous place.
