"Thank you, Chairman Crenshaw and Ranking Member Honda, for your hard work on the Legislative Branch bill.
"This bill funds the operations of the House, national treasures such as the Library of Congress, maintenance of the historic buildings we meet in, and the agencies which provide support to the Congress. While a strong Legislative Branch is crucial to our democracy, we must also be mindful of limited resources and do more with less here in Washington.

The House Committee on Appropriations Subcommittee on the Legislative Branch circulated a "Dear Colleague" letter regarding Members' programmatic and language submissions for consideration in the fiscal year 2012 Appropriations bill.
