Chairman Frelinghuysen Prepared Statement on FY 2013 Energy and Water Appropriations Bill at Subcommittee Markup
April 18, 2012
Remarks

I'd like to call the subcommittee to order.

Before we get started, I would like to thank Mr. Visclosky and all members for their participation in putting this bill together and their participation in many oversight hearings.

The bill for fiscal year 2013 totals $32.1 billion, $965 million below the request and $88 million above 2012.

This last figure – the above 2012 part – is a little misleading. There were many rescissions that we took in 2012 that we can't take this year. Setting those aside, the bill is actually $623 million below last year.
