Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (D-CT-03), Ranking Member of the House Appropriations Committee, delivered the following remarks at the Subcommittee markup of the fiscal year 2025 Financial Services and General Government funding bill:

Thank you Chairman Cole, and thank you Subcommittee Chairman Joyce, Ranking Member Hoyer, and the subcommittee staff for all their work, especially Matt Smith and Philip Tizzani.

Let me get right to it: the funding level and policy riders in this Financial Services and General Government bill put forth by the majority are unacceptable.

House Republicans again propose cutting critical agencies that make the economy fairer and safer for the American people by a staggering $2.6 billion.
