Thank you, Chairman Simpson, and thank you to Ranking Member DeLauro, Ranking Member Pingree, and to all the members of the subcommittee for being with us this morning.
Today, we continue our work on the FY 2026 Interior and Environment Appropriations bill.
The measure covers several agencies, including the Department of the Interior, the U.S. Forest Service, and the Environmental Protection Agency, that work to conserve and protect our nation’s natural, cultural, and environmental resources.
Importantly, it advances the federal commitment to honor our trust and treaty responsibilities to American Indians and Alaska Natives through Indian Affairs and the Indian Health Service.

Good morning. I’d like to welcome everyone to the subcommittee markup of the Fiscal Year 2026 Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies appropriations bill.
The FY26 Energy and Water bill demonstrates our commitment to safeguarding U.S. national security, unleashing American energy dominance, and advancing our economic competitiveness—in a fiscally responsible manner. The recommendation totals $57.3 billion, a decrease of $766 million below fiscal year 2025.
The bill delivers strong support for our national defense and provides $25.3 billion—an increase of $1.2 billion above FY25—for the National Nuclear Security Administration, prioritizing the continued modernization of the nuclear weapons stockpile and the U.S. Navy nuclear fleet.
