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.
Thank you. I rise in support of the Consolidated Appropriations Act for fiscal year 2024.
I’d like to commend Chairwoman Granger for her leadership of the Appropriations Committee and for getting the first six bills across the finish line. I would also like to thank the Interior Subcommittee Ranking Member Pingree for her partnership.
Together, we’ve negotiated a reasonable compromise to avoid a government shutdown that fails to respond to our nation’s needs and maintain our public lands.
WASHINGTON - Today, the House of Representatives met to consider H.R. 4366, The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024. The measure was approved with a vote of 339 to 85.
Thank you very much Mr. Speaker, and I want to thank the chairwoman for yielding. I want to begin with some much deserved thank yous I want to thank the speaker this house, this deal would not have come together without his leadership and support. I particularly want to thank my Chairwoman Kay Granger and Ranking Member DeLauro for their work and their leadership and putting a package together they can get across this floor in a bipartisan manner.
