Congressman Steny Hoyer (D-MD-05), Ranking Member of the Financial Services and General Government Subcommittee, delivered the following remarks at the Subcommittee's markup of the fiscal year 2025 Financial Services and General Government funding bill:

My concept of a subcommittee is a group of Members who take a special focus on a relatively small part of the budget. That's not true of the Defense Committee because that's a majority of our discretionary budget, but all the other subcommittees presumably become experts on a certain portion of the money that we run our government with.
