It is an honor to serve as Chairman of the Financial Services and General Government Subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee. I want to thank my friend—Chairwoman Kay Granger—for giving me this opportunity. Thank you, also, to Ranking Member DeLauro for her commitment to the work of this committee. And to my Ranking Member, Steny Hoyer, thank you for your leadership and friendship through the years. It's a real privilege to work with you.
WASHINGTON - Today, the House Appropriations Committee released the Fiscal Year 2024 bill for the Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Subcommittee. The bill will be considered tomorrow, July 14th at 9:00 a.m. The markup will be live-streamed and can be found on the Committee's website.
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.
