Appropriations Full Committee

Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (D-CT-03), Ranking Member of the House Appropriations Committee, delivered the following remarks on the House Floor during debate on the fiscal year 2027 Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies funding bill:

House Appropriations Committee Republicans today released the draft fiscal year 2027 Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies funding bill, which will be considered in subcommittee tomorrow. The bill energy raises costs for American households, weakens our national security, and abandons communities cleaning up radioactive waste.

Today, the House Appropriations Committee marked up Republicans’ partisan fiscal year 2027 Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies funding bill. The bill hurts the economy as Americans struggle to keep up with high prices, makes families and children less safe, and continues Republicans’ attacks on America’s competitiveness.
