WASHINGTON - Today, the House and Senate Appropriations Committees released the first package of final Fiscal Year 2024 appropriations bills. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024 will be considered in the House the week of March 4th. House Appropriations Chairwoman Kay Granger released the following statement after the package was released:
Mr./Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of this short-term continuing resolution. This bill extends government funding until March 8th for 4 bills and March 22nd for the others.
Given the differences between this year’s House and Senate bills, we knew finding common ground would not be easy. But, we have made progress, and we need a few more weeks to finish drafting the bills. We also need to give members adequate time to review them.
I rise in support of the Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act to provide much-needed assistance to our democratic and unwavering ally, Israel, as it combats terrorism against its citizens.
I commend my colleague, Chairman Ken Calvert, for his leadership in drafting this critical legislation, as well as Chairwoman Kay Granger. I want to thank Speaker Mike Johnson and Majority Leader Steve Scalise for bringing this bill to the House floor.
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to offer House Resolution 7217, the Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2024. This bill provides $17.6 billion in emergency supplemental appropriations, which will provide needed military assistance to America's great ally Israel and support U.S. military forces operating in the region.
Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 7217, a bill that will provide additional support for Israel. I want to thank Chairman Calvert for his leadership on this bill.
Nearly four months ago, we watched Hamas brutally attack the Israeli people. Unfortunately, the situation in the region has only gotten worse.
Israel, and now U.S. Forces, have been attacked by terrorist groups backed by Iran. Funding is needed to address the growing threats we face.
Ms. Speaker, I rise today in support of this short-term continuing resolution.
While we have made progress in our efforts to finish Fiscal Year 2024 bills, Congress has much more work to do.
More time is needed to negotiate bills both sides can support.
The House and Senate took very different approaches to this year's bills, and finding common ground will not be easy.
But now that the Speaker has negotiated a topline, we can move forward.
