House Passes H.R. 7006, Strengthening National Security, Protecting Economic Growth, and Restoring Regular Order
Washington, D.C. – Today, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 7006, the Financial Services and General Government and National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2026, with a vote of 341 to 79.
This package of bills makes targeted Fiscal Year 2026 investments to drive economic growth and entrepreneurship, support our Executive and Judicial branches, and safeguard American security and freedom at home and abroad. We are restoring commonsense governance and American strength to our policy posture, realigning investments to prioritize safety, strength, freedom - and a brighter future for the nation.
For the second time this month, Congress has come together to pass bipartisan, bicameral appropriations bills – thoughtfully drafted with significant member input. These full-year funding bills turn priorities into results, support the America First agenda, and uphold Article I responsibilities.
With passage of H.R. 7006, which now heads to the Senate for consideration, the House has advanced eight FY26 appropriations bills covering 26% of all discretionary spending.
Chairman Tom Cole (R-OK) said, “Another step forward – another promise kept. The House just passed our next bipartisan, bicameral FY26 appropriations package, reflecting a simple truth: funding the government is a responsibility, and doing it right requires steady, deliberate progress. This two-bill measure strengthens economic opportunity, supports small businesses and families, and modernizes government operations. It protects taxpayers by shifting IRS resources toward customer service as families head into a historic tax filing season – one in which the benefits of the Working Families Tax Cuts will be realized. Just as this package strengthens financial security and accountability, it also reinforces America’s safety and leadership at home and abroad. We turn President Trump’s doctrine of peace through strength into action by realigning funding toward national security priorities that uphold U.S. values, guidance, and diplomacy on the world stage. We counter drug and human trafficking, confront the malign influence of our adversaries, and institute accountability. The blank checks of past administrations are over – and America First governing is back. That discipline shaped this package, resulting in billions of dollars in savings. Subcommittee Chairmen David Joyce and Mario Díaz-Balart guided this legislation to deliver results for the country and implement President Trump’s agenda of a future defined by clarity of purpose and confidence in America."
Chairman Cole’s floor remarks are available here.
Financial Services and General Government Subcommittee Chairman Dave Joyce (R-OH) said, "Under the previous administration, taxpayers saw their hard-earned dollars go to waste on reckless federal spending. Passage of this bill is a significant step towards restoring fiscal responsibility and prioritizing the American public in our federal agencies. This legislation cuts waste and provides critical funding that supports the Department of the Treasury, Small Business Administration, High Intensity Drug Trafficking programs, the Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence, the federal Judiciary, and over 20 other independent agencies. I want to thank my colleagues on the committee and Chairman Cole for their hard work, and I look forward to working to pass the remaining appropriations bills in the coming weeks."

House Appropriations Vice-Chairman and National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs Subcommittee Chairman Mario Díaz-Balart (R-FL) said, "The passage of the FY26 National Security and Department of State funding bill is a crucial step toward strategically realigning our resources to better serve the American people and meet our national security needs. Not only does this legislation achieve a 16 percent reduction in spending compared to FY25 enacted levels, but it carries out President Trump’s visionary Peace Through Strength mission by restoring American leadership, standing in strong solidarity with our allies, advancing freedom, and confronting the malign forces that threaten U.S. national security and endanger American lives. The era of wasteful spending and the Biden Administration’s weak and confused foreign policy that undermined global stability and security is over. As Chairman of the subcommittee, I remain committed to ensuring that not a single taxpayer dollar is wasted. The FY26 NSRP House bill takes a bold step in funding effective, accountable programs that strengthen U.S. national security and uphold American values. I commend Chairman Tom Cole for his leadership in restoring regular order to the appropriations process and protecting hard-earned U.S. taxpayer dollars, and thank my colleagues for advancing this third tranche of full-year appropriations bills, which deliver wins for the American people. I look forward to seeing this legislation pass the Senate and be signed into law by President Trump."
