Recent Activity
WASHINGTON – Today, the Full Committee met to consider the Fiscal Year 2024 subcommittee allocations. The measure was approved by the Committee with a vote of 33 to 27.
Thank you, Chairwoman Granger, and I want to commend your leadership in moving the fiscal year 2024 appropriations process forward. I also want to recognize the Ranking Member of the Full Committee, Ms. DeLauro, and the Ranking Member of the Agriculture Subcommittee, Mr. Bishop, as I appreciate the conversations he and I have had in regards to the bill. While I know we don't agree on everything, we have reached areas of consensus that will keep our Ag communities vital.
WASHINGTON – Today, House Appropriations Chairwoman Kay Granger (TX) released the following statement on postponing markups scheduled for the week of May 22, 2023.
"Given recent developments in the negotiations between Speaker McCarthy and the President, and in order to give the Speaker maximum flexibility as talks continue, the Committee will postpone this week's markups."
Good morning. The Subcommittee will come to order. I want to welcome everyone to the Subcommittee Markup of the Fiscal Year 2024 Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations bill.
I am pleased to be joined by our Subcommittee Ranking Member Bishop, and full committee Ranking Member DeLauro, and the Members of the Subcommittee.
As Americans know all too well, our country continues to face record inflation driven by the reckless spending of the Biden Administration. We simply cannot continue down this path of providing large sums of money with no accountability. This bill takes the same approach American families take every day – they have to do more with less under the Biden economy. American families decide every day where to cut back spending to pay for what's most important. Sometimes tough decisions have to be made.
The Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration Appropriations bill works to lower costs and grow our economy by supporting America's farmers, ranchers, and rural communities.
During the last Congress, many agencies and programs received significant increases, which is why I asked this Subcommittee to take a hard look at the spending it oversees.
I thank Chairman Harris for coming up with ways to gather some of the funds we already have on hand and redirect them toward priorities in this bill. Specifically, this bill prioritizes spending on agricultural research, internet coverage for rural areas, and plant and animal health programs.
WASHINGTON - Today, the House Appropriations Committee released the Fiscal Year 2024 bill for the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Subcommittee. The bill will be considered tomorrow, May 18th at 9:00 a.m. The markup will be live-streamed and can be found on the Committee's website.
