Recent Activity
Washington, D.C. – Today, the House Appropriations Financial Services and General Government Subcommittee met to consider its Fiscal Year 2026 bill. The measure was approved by the Subcommittee.
Thank you, Chairman Joyce. And thank you to Ranking Member Hoyer, Ranking Member of the Full Committee DeLauro, and all the members of the subcommittee.
Today we continue our work on the FY 2026 Financial Services and General Government appropriations bill.
This legislation provides important resources for agencies and offices that impact every American, our economy, and the branches of the United States government. From the Executive Office of the President to the Federal Judiciary, the impact touches everything from national security to the rule of law.
Taxpayers demand legislation that responsibly addresses critical needs while systematically eliminating waste. This measure exemplifies that approach and further demonstrates steady and consistent progress in cutting federal spending.
I would like to thank Chairman Cole and Ranking Member DeLauro for being here today. And of course, I would like to thank Ranking Member Hoyer. I value his insights on and off this Subcommittee.
I’m proud of the product we are marking up today. This bill reflects the hard work of the Subcommittee over the last several months.
Counting our Member day back in early March, we’ve held nine hearings, on top of the additional briefings to inform our work.
As you all know, the Financial Services and General Government, or FSGG, bill covers a broad swath of the federal government – including the Department of the Treasury, the Executive Office of the President, the Federal Judiciary, and more than 20 independent Commissions, Departments, and Agencies.
Washington, D.C. – Today, the House Appropriations Committee released the Fiscal Year 2026 bill for the Financial Services and General Government Subcommittee. The bill will be considered in subcommittee tomorrow, July 21st at 5:30 p.m.
I would like to thank Director Vought for being here today. The Office of Management and Budget, or OMB, plays a central role in most of the decisions made in the Executive Branch, particularly as it relates to the federal budget.
It’s also important to remember that OMB is an office created by Congress. In 1921, the Congress passed the Budget and Accounting Act of 1921, which created the Bureau of the Budget under the Department of the Treasury. Later in 1939, in the Reorganization Act of 1939, the Bureau was relocated to the newly created Executive Office of the President. And, in 1970, Congress approved the Bureau’s renaming to the Office of Management and Budget.
I would like to thank Chairman Carr for being here today and for his leadership at the FCC. The Federal Communications Commission was created for the purpose of expanding access to radio, television, and other communication services to all Americans.
Methods of communication have changed a lot since the FCC was founded more than 90 years ago. Decades of technological advancements have made long-distance communications much more affordable. In 2023 the total number of wireless connections in the United States reached almost 558 million, or more than 1.6 connections per American. The FCC continues to play an important role in expanding access to new technologies and making communication services affordable for all Americans.
