House Appropriations Committee Hal Rogers today gave the following statement on the House floor in support of the House amendment to the Senate amendment on H.R. 83, legislation to fund the federal government for the rest of the current fiscal year:

"Mr. Speaker, I rise today, as we face the expiration of the current Continuing Resolution, to present the House amendment to the Senate amendment on H.R. 83, legislation to fund the federal government for the rest of the current fiscal year.

"This amendment prevents a costly and damaging government shutdown, while making good-government funding and policy decisions and reining in regulatory overreach. It is good for the continuity of vital federal programs and services, it is good for our economy, and it is good for the American people.
