Good morning. I’d like to welcome everyone to the subcommittee markup of the Fiscal Year 2026 Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies appropriations bill.
The FY26 Energy and Water bill demonstrates our commitment to safeguarding U.S. national security, unleashing American energy dominance, and advancing our economic competitiveness—in a fiscally responsible manner. The recommendation totals $57.3 billion, a decrease of $766 million below fiscal year 2025.
Thank you, Chairman Fleischmann, and thank you to Ranking Member DeLauro, Ranking Member Kaptur, and to all the members of the subcommittee.
Today’s measure is a cornerstone of American energy dominance.
Under President Trump’s leadership, we are once again focused on lowering energy costs and advancing affordable, reliable, and secure power for the nation.
The bill before us reflects that agenda in every measure.
It makes historic investments to secure our energy systems and reduce reliance on foreign materials.

I’d also like to thank you for maintaining an open line of communication, and I look forward to continuing to work closely with you through this process as we develop our fiscal year 2026 bill.
