It is my pleasure to present the FY25 Legislative Branch bill and report before you today. The bill and report were developed in a bi-partisan fashion, and I appreciate the coordination with Ranking Member Espaillat, Ranking Member DeLauro and the minority staff. Also, thank you to Chairman Cole for his support and leadership, it has been tremendously helpful as I have learned to navigate the process in my new role as Chairman. The Committee placed great emphasis on accommodating Members’ priorities and included as many requests as possible.

The United States has long been a world leader in global cooperation and stability. On the heels of the 80th anniversary of D-Day, we are reminded of that poignantly. Our collective security and the defense of democracy aren’t protected by hope—but by leadership and sustained vigilance. Our work on today’s Fiscal Year 2025 State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Act is part of that.
