Chair DeLauro Statement at Full Committee Markup of Fiscal Year 2023 Legislative Branch Funding Bill
"These investments continue the important work we have already done to make the Capitol safer and to sustain our democracy for the future. I will continue to advocate for the funding in this bill which prioritizes our safety, diversity, and progress, in turn making us better equipped to serve those who put us here to do so."
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."
