Remarks
WASHINGTON – Today, top Appropriations Committee Republican Kay Granger (R-TX) delivered the following remarks on H.R. 4378, a short-term continuing resolution that continues funding for military and civilian government programs through November 21st.

"Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 4378 – a continuing resolution that will fund the government through November 21st.

"It is unfortunate that we are in this situation and have to pass this CR to keep the government open, but we cannot afford an unnecessary and costly shutdown.

"Because the budget agreement did not get enacted until August, the Senate just began working on the FY20 appropriations bills last week.

"As a result, there is simply not enough time to complete the appropriations process by the September 30th deadline.

Remarks

Today, top Appropriations Committee Republican Kay Granger (R-TX) delivered the following remarks on H.R. 3351, Financial Services and General Government Appropriations Act.

Mr. Graves, thank you for yielding.

I appreciate the work that you and Chairman Quigley have done to craft the Financial Services and General Government bill for fiscal year 2020.

The bill includes many priorities of Members on both sides of the aisle, such as support for small businesses, drug control programs, and the Treasury Department's counterterrorism and financial intelligence efforts.

However, I am concerned that there are several controversial items in the bill regarding immigration policy, the border wall, collective bargaining, and many other provisions that will tie this Administration's hands.

Regarding the District of Columbia, this bill fails to provide appropriate oversight.

WASHINGTON – Today, the Full Committee met to consider the fiscal year 2020 Financial Services and General Government appropriations bill. The bill includes many priorities supported by Members on both sides of the aisle, such as support for small businesses, drug control programs, and the Treasury Department's counterterrorism and financial intelligence efforts. However, the bill includes an irresponsible funding increase and controversial policy provisions, and therefore, Committee Republicans were unable to support the bill.

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.

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.
