WASHINGTON — The House today passed the Emergency Security Supplemental to Respond to January 6th Appropriations Act, a $1.9 billion funding bill that covers the costs of the insurrection and protects the Capitol and those who visit and work here.
"Congress owes it to everyone who works in or visits our Capitol to provide funding to recover, rebuild, and keep all who serve in the Legislative Branch safe, healthy, and secure," House Appropriations Committee Chair Rosa DeLauro (D-CT-03) said. "This narrowly-tailored bill carefully responds to the insurrection and addresses urgent security vulnerabilities. It is imperative that the Senate advance this legislation without any delay."
