Highlights and key points:

While it was my sincere hope that we could have completed action on all twelve Appropriations bills before the end of the fiscal year, I understand Chairman Rogers desire to quickly pass this CR and prevent another disastrous government shutdown.

I am saddened to have to rise in opposition to this legislation today. As a long-time appropriator, I remember the days when we were always able to come together to determine the funding levels for our government in a bipartisan manner and with little partisan warfare. Unfortunately, this bill is not a product of those times.

I'd like to thank Chairman Crenshaw and Ranking Member Serrano for their work on this bill, and the bipartisan spirit in which they work.

Unfortunately, however, low allocations and policy riders in this bill fail to prioritize the middle class, create jobs, and provide opportunity for every citizen to succeed. Meanwhile this bill cuts already-reduced funding levels for regulatory agencies that protect the public and crack down on special interests who abuse the system.

Thank you, Chairman Rogers.

Let me begin by thanking Chairman Crenshaw for his efforts to conduct this subcommittee in a fair and bipartisan manner. We do not always agree on everything, but you are always willing to listen to our side, and you have made efforts to accommodate our side's priorities.

Unfortunately, I think Chairman Crenshaw has been dealt a difficult hand with this bill. This subcommittee received a totally inadequate 302(b) allocation compared to our funding level in fiscal year 2014 onmibus. The bill is $566 million below the level agreed to in the fiscal year 2014 omnibus. This cut is equal to 2.6 percent of the bill, a level that no other subcommittee has been forced to take. The result it is that there are several agencies in this bill that are inadequately funded.
