The Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies will come to order.
Today, the Subcommittee will mark up the Fiscal Year 2024 Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies appropriations bill.
The fiscal situation facing the Nation requires some very significant and difficult spending reductions. The need for reductions was reflected in the Budget Resolution that passed the House, and in the 302b allocation we were given.
I want to thank Chairman Rogers for presenting the Fiscal Year 2024 Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies appropriations bill.
I also want to thank the Chairman for funding the important programs in the bill while reducing spending on lower priorities.
I am pleased to say this bill strikes a careful balance.
First, I want to thank Chairman Womack for his work on the Fiscal Year 2024 Financial Services bill.
As I have said before, to fully fund our national defense, veterans, and border security, other unnecessary spending must be reduced.
This bill rejects significant increases in the President's Budget Request, and instead saves billions of dollars by reclaiming unspent funds from the Inflation Reduction Act and preventing the I.R.S. from hiring tens of thousands of new agents.
The Subcommittee on Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies will come to order.
We are here today to markup the Fiscal Year 2024 Interior bill. I would like to welcome Full Committee Ranking Member DeLauro, Subcommittee Ranking Member Pingree, and the other Members of the Subcommittee.
