The Subcommittee will come to order.
I'd like to welcome everyone to today's subcommittee markup of the fiscal year 2024 appropriations bill for the Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs.
At the outset, I would like to ask my colleagues for their indulgence, as my opening statement is longer than normal to explain the changes in this year's bill.
WASHINGTON – Today, the Full Committee met to consider the Fiscal Year 2024 subcommittee allocations. The measure was approved by the Committee with a vote of 33 to 27.
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.
Administrator Power, thank you for being here today to discuss the fiscal year 2024 budget request for the U.S. Agency for International Development.
Before I get into the details of the budget, I want to take a moment to thank the men and women of USAID, including the Foreign Service Nationals and the staff of your implementing partners, for their efforts to make the world a better place.
We don't say it enough, but we appreciate their service, and yours, Administrator Power, so please convey those thanks on behalf of our Subcommittee.
The Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs will come to order.
Madam Secretary, welcome back to the House Appropriations Committee. I know you were here last week before the Financial Services Subcommittee so we appreciate your time with us today and for your service to our country.
We look forward to your testimony on the Fiscal Year 2024 budget request for the Department of Treasury's International Programs.
