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:
Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. I'm pleased that you can join us.
Mr. Chairman, I have been on this subcommittee for a very long time — took a break for about 23 years — and I am very concerned about process. So let me talk about that first.
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.
