Granger Remarks During Floor Consideration of H.R. 4366, The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024

Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of this six-bill appropriations package. I am glad we are here considering full-year bills, and I want to thank everyone who participated in this process.

With the odds stacked against us, House Republicans made progress in how we fund the government. We drafted the most conservative bills in history. Members submitted over one thousand amendments. We considered House bills individually on the floor, and we avoided a massive omnibus measure.

​​​​In total, we increased defense funding and made targeted cuts. We also maintained legacy riders that my colleagues on the other side of the aisle wanted to remove.

Overall, this bill honors our commitment to our veterans, strengthens our energy security, holds agencies accountable, supports our farmers and ranchers, and makes our transportation systems safer.

I urge my colleagues to support this bill, and I reserve the balance of my time.
