I want to thank Chairman Quigley for presenting the fiscal year 2023 Financial Services and General Government appropriations bill. I also want to recognize the work of the ranking member of the subcommittee, Mr. Womack.
As a result of the chairman and ranking member's efforts, the bill before us includes many priorities of Members on both sides of the aisle, including:
WASHINGTON – Today, the Homeland Security Subcommittee and Financial Services and General Government Subcommittee met to consider their fiscal year 2023 appropriations bills. The measures were reported out to the full committee with concerns raised by Republicans.
Chairman Bishop, thank you for presenting the fiscal year 2023 bill that funds Agriculture, Rural Development, and the Food and Drug Administration.
I also want to recognize the hard work of the acting ranking member of the subcommittee, Dr. Harris.
I appreciate both of you working to fund priorities of Members on both sides of the aisle.
Madam Chair, thank you for presenting the Military Construction and Veterans Affairs bill today. I appreciate the work that you and Ranking Member Carter have done this year to fund many projects important to our Members.
Thank you, Chairman Ryan, for presenting the fiscal year 2023 Legislative Branch appropriations bill. I also want to recognize Ranking Member Herrera Beutler for her work on this subcommittee. Both of you are dedicated to addressing priorities of all Members of Congress, and I will start with some of the items you have worked on together.
WASHINGTON – Today, the Defense Subcommittee; Legislative Branch Subcommittee; Military Construction and Veterans Affairs Subcommittee; and Agriculture, Rural Development, and Food and Drug Administration Subcommittee considered their appropriations bills for fiscal year 2023. The measures were reported out to the full committee with concerns raised by Republicans.
Mr. Speaker, I rise today in opposition to H.R. 7790, the Infant Formula Supplemental Appropriations Act.
American families are facing yet another crisis. Parents don't have access to the formula their young children need. They are angry and frightened, and I understand why.
There are reports that more than 40% of baby formula is sold out across the United States. Some families are having to drive hours just so their children don't go to bed hungry.
At a time when Americans are paying record-high gas prices, no one can afford this.
WASHINGTON – Today, Rep. Kay Granger (TX), the Lead Republican on the House Appropriations Committee, announced Rep. Julia Letlow (LA) will fill the vacant Republican seat on the committee for the remainder of the 117th Congress. Following the Republican Steering Committee's meeting Tuesday, the Republican Conference ratified the Steering Committee's recommendation for Letlow to fill the seat. Letlow will serve on the Agriculture, Rural Development, and Food and Drug Administration Subcommittee and the State and Foreign Operations Subcommittee.
Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 7691, a bill that would provide additional assistance to Ukraine and other partners in the region.
Ten weeks ago, we witnessed Russia begin its attack on the sovereign nation of Ukraine.
To support Ukraine and our allies during this unprovoked, illegal, and appalling attack, Congress provided nearly 14 billion dollars in emergency funding through the fiscal year 2022 appropriations bills.
That funding has been crucial in Ukraine's efforts to fight back against Putin's evil invasion.
