Chairman Graves Floor Statement on FY 2017 Legislative Branch Funding Bill
June 9, 2016
Remarks

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

The goal of the bill we are considering here today is to ensure that we continue to preserve the beauty, enhance the security and improve the institutions of the United States Capitol complex. I'm glad to report that we have accomplished our mission, and we have done it in a way that respects taxpayers. By making tough choices, this bill demonstrates the great work Congress can do even during a time of lean budgets.

The American people will be proud to know that this bill continues to use a zero-based budgeting approach. That means each Legislative Branch agency was required to justify its budget request from scratch. This practice curbs wasteful spending and safeguards taxpayer dollars.
