WASHINGTON — The House Appropriations Committee today approved allocations, known as 302(b)s, for its 12 subcommittees for fiscal year 2020 on a vote of 30 to 22.
The allocations total $1.295 trillion in discretionary funding, with significant increases allowing investments that help working families. The 302(b) subcommittee allocations are here.
WASHINGTON — The House Appropriations Committee today released its reports accompanying the fiscal year 2020 Legislative Branch and Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies appropriations bills.
The Legislative Branch bill appropriates a total of $3.943 billion in base discretionary funding (excluding Senate items), $135 million more than in FY 2019.
"This bill is an excellent example of our commitment to investing for the people and making life better for the middle class and people struggling to make it into the middle class. Not only does this bill resoundingly reject the proposed cuts in President Trump’s budget that would have hurt working families, it provides a robust increase for important priorities that create jobs and grow the economy, improve health security, and build a stronger future for all Americans."
"I am proud of this bill. I am proud of these historic investments. I am proud of what we are doing for the working people and middle-class families of this country. And, I am proud of how much we have been able to include together, Republicans and Democrats."
"Most importantly, these suballocations represent this Committee’s intent to invest in the things most important to America’s working families. Under these suballocations, each subcommittee would receive an increase from the fiscal year 2019 levels. These allocations are fair, will allow this Committee to uphold our commitments to America’s working families, and signify the beginning of an orderly appropriations process."
