Good afternoon. As the Chairman of the Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Appropriations Subcommittee, I am here to explain the CJS bill and ask that you provide an appropriate rule for its consideration.
As you know, the CJS Subcommittee has jurisdiction over a diverse group of agencies responsible for enforcing trade laws; promoting U.S. economic interests; bolstering innovation and manufacturing; forecasting the weather; managing fisheries; combating drug trafficking, violent crime, financial fraud, terrorism, espionage, and cybercrime; exploring space; and advancing science.
The fiscal situation facing the country requires some very significant and difficult spending reductions.
The need for reductions was reflected in the Budget Resolution that passed the House, and in the 302b allocation that we were given.
Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 5860, a bill that keeps the government open until November 17th.
While I would rather be here speaking on the floor about final appropriations bills, I want members to understand why passing this short-term funding bill today is so important.
First, I want to explain how we find ourselves in this situation.
Just nine months ago, when Republicans took back the Majority in the House, our commitment was to Regular Order for appropriations.
No more omnibus measures released in the dead of night. No more Christmas Eve votes on thousands of pages of text that Members of Congress had not read.
Unfortunately, there were a few stumbling blocks as we sought to change the process.
For example, the Administration's budget request was more than a month late. It then took months for the President to come to the table on the debt ceiling negotiations.
I want to thank Chairman Rogers for presenting the Fiscal Year 2024 Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies appropriations bill.
I also want to thank the Chairman for funding the important programs in the bill while reducing spending on lower priorities.
I am pleased to say this bill strikes a careful balance.
Specifically, this bill prioritizes spending on programs and initiatives that:
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.
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.
