Granger Remarks on Four-Bill Appropriations Package
June 12, 2019
Remarks

WASHINGTON – Today, top Appropriations Committee Republican Kay Granger (R-TX) delivered the following remarks on H.R. 2740, a four-bill appropriations package.

Mister Speaker, I rise today in opposition to H.R. 2740.

The Appropriations Committee has held more than 120 hearings this year on topics ranging from our nation's defense priorities to the crisis of unaccompanied children coming to the southern border.

We have now marked up all twelve of the bills in Subcommittee and Full Committee.

Unfortunately, each bill brought before the Committee was written to an unrealistic topline funding number - $176 billion above current budget caps.

We still do not have consensus on a budget agreement for fiscal year 2020, which could lead to sequestration, resulting in devastating cuts to our military.
