Granger Remarks on Senate-Amended Disaster Relief
June 3, 2019
Remarks
WASHINGTON – Today, top Appropriations Committee Republican Kay Granger (R-TX) delivered the following remarks on Senate-amended H.R. 2157, the Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2019.
Mister Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 2157, the Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2019.
This bill provides much-needed relief to more than 40 states and territories to help them recover from devastating hurricanes, wildfires, flooding, and tornadoes.
The bill provides critical aid to farmers and ranchers across the country.
From the Category 5 hurricane that destroyed crops in the Southeast to the historic floods of farmland in the Midwest and fires in the West, billions of dollars of damage has occurred.
The funds in this bill will help restore the livelihoods of our agricultural producers and rural communities.
Granger and Calvert on Defense Spending
May 21, 2019
Press Release
WASHINGTON – Today, the Full Committee met to consider the fiscal year 2020 Defense Subcommittee appropriations bill.

Top Appropriations Committee Republican Kay Granger (R-TX) said, "Funding our nation's defense is one of the most important responsibilities of Congress.

"While the Majority worked to include many of our priorities in this bill, it does not adequately address growing global threats, and it is less than requested, halting the progress we have made in improving military readiness and setting us on an unsustainable path.

Granger Remarks on Disaster Relief
May 10, 2019
Remarks

WASHINGTON – Today, top Appropriations Committee Republican Kay Granger (R-TX) delivered the following remarks on H.R. 2157, the Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2019.

Madam Speaker, I rise today on H.R. 2157, the Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2019.

This bill is similar to the disaster supplemental that passed the House in January. We have been waiting for the Senate to act on their version of the supplemental for several months.

During the four months since the House passed a bill, additional areas have been affected by natural disasters.

We know that the need is great, but taking up a disaster bill for the second time without addressing the Administration's concerns unfortunately will not increase its chance of becoming law.

There is a lot to praise in this bill. It will provide critical resources to communities struggling to recover from hurricanes, wildfires, flooding and tornadoes.
