Madam Chair, thank you for yielding.
The revised allocations presented today do not change the spending levels that were adopted on a party-line vote last week. Because there are no substantive changes, I must once again oppose them.
It is unacceptable to Members on my side of the aisle to underfund our national defense while giving significant increases to the same social programs that received trillions of dollars over the last year. I hope we can find common ground as these bills move to the floor.

Thank you, Madam Chair.
Before I get into my formal remarks, I would like to thank the distinguished chair, Ms. Roybal-Allard for her tremendous service to this body. I know her father was a valued Member of this House before she came here.

WASHINGTON – Today, the full committee met to consider the fiscal year 2023 subcommittee spending levels, known as "302(b)" allocations. The appropriations bills for the subcommittees on Defense and Legislative Branch were also considered by the full committee.
Thank you, Madam Chairwoman.
Thank you and Ranking Member Fleischmann for your work on the Homeland Security Bill before us today.
Unfortunately, I see areas where the funding and policies included in this bill are political and polarizing.
We all know this is a must-pass bill, and these issues will have to be addressed as we move forward, because they are very serious issues that need our consideration.
WASHINGTON – Today, the Homeland Security Subcommittee and Financial Services and General Government Subcommittee met to consider their fiscal year 2023 appropriations bills. The measures were reported out to the full committee with concerns raised by Republicans.
