Ranking Member: Rep. Chuck Fleischmann, Tennessee
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.
WASHINGTON – House Appropriations Committee Ranking Member Kay Granger (R-TX) delivered the following remarks at the first meeting of the conference committee on Homeland Security appropriations today.
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a very important and unique charge in front of us today.
We have approximately 2 ½ weeks to come up with an agreement to secure our border, pass it through both the House and Senate, and get it to the President's desk for a signature.
