Mister Speaker, I rise today in opposition to H.R. 2740.

WASHINGTON – Today, top Appropriations Committee Republican Kay Granger (R-TX) delivered the following remarks on H.R. 2157, the Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2019.
Madam Speaker, I rise today on H.R. 2157, the Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2019.
This bill is similar to the disaster supplemental that passed the House in January. We have been waiting for the Senate to act on their version of the supplemental for several months.
During the four months since the House passed a bill, additional areas have been affected by natural disasters.

"I would like to thank Chairwoman Delauro and Ranking Member Cole, who also serves as the Vice Ranking Member for the Full Committee, for holding this hearing today.
