Chairman Rogers Floor Statement on Ryan-Murray Budget Agreement
December 12, 2013
Remarks

"I rise today in strong support of H.J. Res. 59, the Ryan/Murray budget agreement.

"First, I would like to commend Chairman Ryan on achieving a resolution to our immediate budget challenges. It takes a good deal of courage, persistence, and dedication to reach a bipartisan agreement such as this, and we appreciate your hard work. While everyone might not like everything in it, it is the best product that is achievable right now, and I urge its passage.

"As our Budget Chairman has said, this agreement reflects a compromise in policies, but not in our conservative principles. Not only does this deal hold the line on spending, it actually puts a dent in our annual deficit – a significant accomplishment. Plus, it opens the door for future progress on the problem of runaway entitlements, and paves the way toward budget and economic stability for the next two years.
