Good morning and welcome to the first meeting of the Committee on Appropriations for the 118th congress.
The business today is to consider the Committee Rules and Subcommittee Jurisdictions.
Before we do that, I want to start by saying that serving on this committee has been one of the greatest honors of my time in Congress.
I am humbled to serve as your Chair.
We have our work cut out for us this year.
In many ways, the odds are stacked against us.
But as I look across the room, I am reminded that we – as Appropriators – always find a way to get the job done for the American people.
I am hopeful that together we will continue that great tradition.
As I lead this committee, I will focus our work on that which unites us.
