The House Appropriations Committee’s Subcommittee on Homeland Security will hold a public witness hearing on March 25, 2020, at 9:00 a.m. for those who wish to provide input for the FY2021 Appropriations bill.
"The democracy, development, diplomacy, humanitarian, and security assistance programs funded in this bill are critical to maintaining United States global leadership, protecting our national security, and promoting economic growth. Yet, since coming to office, the President has repeatedly proposed cutting these programs."
"Looking toward fiscal year 2021, however, the Trump Administration again proposes to cut DOE’s budget – by 8 percent overall, and by an astounding 35 percent in non-defense programs. This will limit America’s future by drastically reducing or eliminating programs critical for meeting our future energy needs and assuring our security. These programs have received bipartisan, bicameral support precisely because of their crucial role in undergirding our economy and preparing us for the future to come – including the clean energy economy. What we should be doing is supporting programs that create jobs as our nation transitions to a clean energy future."
