Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies (118th Congress) | House Committee on Appropriations

Thank you, Chairman Cole, and thank you for your steady hand that continues to lead us through the appropriations process.

I would also like to thank Ranking Member Cartwright, Full Committee Ranking Member DeLauro, and all Members of the Full Committee for their participation in this very important task. I would also like to thank both the Majority and Minority staff for their hard work on this bill. This morning, I am honored to present the Fiscal Year 2025 Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Appropriations bill. 

Unfortunately, our nation is on an unsustainable fiscal path for all mandatory and discretionary spending. These ill-advised spending trends require us to make difficult decisions for the future of our country. Importantly, we must all do our part and that is how I approached the fiscal year 2025 CJS bill.
