Chairman Ryan Statement at Full Committee Markup of Fiscal Year 2023 Legislative Branch Funding Bill
"“The lasting impacts of the global pandemic and the January 6th attack on our U.S. Capitol and law enforcement personnel continue to emphasize our responsibility to protect our nation’s Capital, so we can serve our constituents effectively. This legislation builds off the important progress we’ve made in hiring and retaining staff and continues to remove barriers to public service for all Americans."
“As we begin to debate this bill and move it through committee consideration, I want to make it abundantly clear that the topline funding level in this bill is in line with President Biden’s budget request and endorsed by Secretary of Defense General Austin when he testified before our committee earlier this year. It was developed with the deepest concern for our national security and with a commitment to protect our nation and to confront any threat that may come our way."
"This bill was written to strengthen our existing force, our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, and Guardians and give them the tools they need to do their jobs safely and come home to their families."
"I am so proud of all that we have done to carefully develop legislation that provides tailored and targeted support for those who need federal investments the most."
"The investments we are making in the American people are needed to meet the moment. This funding will help people in profound and enduring ways and will help us build a nation and a world where every person – regardless of background – can succeed and flourish."
