Remarks

Today, House Appropriations Committee Chairman Hal Rogers gave the following statement on the floor in support of H.R. 5325, the Fiscal Year 2017 Legislative Branch Appropriations Bill:

Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 5325, the Fiscal Year 2017 Legislative Branch Appropriations bill, which provides the important funding that Congress needs to do our work on behalf of the American people.

From maintaining the hallowed halls of this very building, to providing services for our constituents, to funding the agencies that keep us informed and in check, the $3.48 billion in this bill supports the largest and freest democracy the world has ever known.

In total, funding is increased slightly - $73 million above current levels. This increase is directed to essential health and safety improvements to aging or damaged facilities, as well as to the Capitol Police, to protect Members, staff, and visitors.
