Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi today named House Democratic Members to serve on a conference committee on the Interior-Environment, Financial Services, Transportation-HUD, and Agriculture Appropriations bills.
"Congress has a responsibility to fight for the health, safety and well-being of hard-working Americans in every corner of the country," Leader Pelosi said. "Yet, this GOP Congress and Administration have continuously failed the American people by selling off public lands, gutting consumer and environmental protections, undermining access to affordable housing and pushing a radical, partisan Farm Bill that leaves farmers and hungry families out in the cold.
Through 12 Committee markups this year, House Appropriations Committee Democrats have offered nearly 150 amendments to stand up for our values and push back on President Trump and the Republicans’ backwards agenda. While Republicans have defeated many of these important amendments, House Democrats have succeeded in forcing important debates and putting Republicans on the record, laying down a marker for the battles that lie ahead.
Mr. Chairman, I rise in strong opposition to the Interior-Environment and Financial Services and General Government minibus that fails the American people by slashing environmental protection, rolling back consumer protections, and even cutting basic election security funding.
With bills this bad, it is no wonder Republicans have abandoned all pretense of regular order, grouped two unrelated appropriations bills together, and blocked numerous Democratic amendments. These bills are the product of Republicans' misguided priorities. Instead of using the $18 billion increase in non-defense discretionary spending to create jobs and grow our economy, Republicans have chosen to waste those resources on an unnecessary border wall and cruel attacks on immigrant families.
This week, the House is expected to consider the FY 2019 Financial Service and General Government appropriations bill as part of a two-bill minibus. This Republican bill zeroes out election security grants, rolls back Dodd-Frank consumer protections, and includes radical Republican poison pill riders.
This week, the House is expected to consider the Fiscal Year 2019 Interior-Environment and Financial Services and General Government appropriations bills as a two-bill minibus. These bills cut environmental protection, undermine clean air and water laws, zero out election security grants, roll back consumer protections, and attack women’s health.
