WASHINGTON – Today, the full committee met to consider the fiscal year 2023 subcommittee spending levels, known as "302(b)" allocations. The appropriations bills for the subcommittees on Defense and Legislative Branch were also considered by the full committee.
Thank you, Chair McCollum. I would first like to commend you for your diligent and detailed work in crafting the bill before us today. I would also like to recognize and thank all the members of the subcommittee for their hard work and commitment to our national security.
I want to thank Chairman Quigley for presenting the fiscal year 2023 Financial Services and General Government appropriations bill. I also want to recognize the work of the ranking member of the subcommittee, Mr. Womack.
As a result of the chairman and ranking member's efforts, the bill before us includes many priorities of Members on both sides of the aisle, including:
Thank you, Madam Chairwoman.
Thank you and Ranking Member Fleischmann for your work on the Homeland Security Bill before us today.
Unfortunately, I see areas where the funding and policies included in this bill are political and polarizing.
We all know this is a must-pass bill, and these issues will have to be addressed as we move forward, because they are very serious issues that need our consideration.
