WASHINGTON – Today, House Appropriations Chairwoman Kay Granger (TX) released the following statement on postponing markups scheduled for the week of May 22, 2023.

Welcome to the Subcommittee markup of the Fiscal Year 2024 Legislative Branch Appropriations bill. Welcome Ranking Member DeLauro and Ranking Member Espaillat.
Colleagues, as we go into our last Subcommittee meeting, I want to say thank you for your hard work and collegial attitude and particularly the cooperation and patience of our Ranking Member, Mr. Espaillat.
I also want to thank the Subcommittee staff on both sides. From the Majority, Michelle Reinshuttle and Jackie Ripke, and from the Minority, Faye Cobb and Raquel Spencer. Thank you all for your due diligence and hard work.
Thank you, Chairman Amodei, for presenting the Fiscal Year 2024 Legislative Branch Appropriations bill. I appreciate the work you have done on this bill.
The bill funds the many important functions of the Legislative Branch, including:
WASHINGTON - Today, the House Appropriations Committee released the Fiscal Year 2024 bills for the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies and Legislative Branch Subcommittees. The bills will be considered tomorrow, May 17th at 10:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. respectively.
Thank you, Chairman Cole and Ranking Member McGovern, for allowing me to testify on the Limit, Save, Grow Act.
I want to start by thanking Speaker McCarthy, Leader Scalise, Ways and Means Chairman Smith, and Budget Chairman Arrington for their hard work on this bill.
I hope the President will come to the table and work with us to ensure our nation does not default on our debt.
I want to highlight one very straightforward idea included in this package: to rescind funds that are not needed at this time and redirect them to other priorities.
For example, as much as $60 billion that was appropriated more than two years ago for COVID remains unspent.
Now that the national emergency is officially over, we should be able to take back those resources.
There is also no reason for the IRS to be holding on to billions of dollars for future years.
