Rosa L. DeLauro Democrat
“I support this temporary funding bill and urge everyone to vote for it. It improves on earlier Republican plans, passed the Senate with support from both parties, and stops the White House from taking spending power from Congress. It also gives us time to finish the full-year funding bills.”
“Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time for the purposes of closing. Mr. Speaker, I support this measure, as I have indicated. It makes important improvements over the bill that was put forward by House Republicans before the August break. It received broad bipartisan support in the Senate. It freezes a White House budget policy that would take substantial power over Federal funding away from Congress and claim it for the President, and it allows us to complete our work on the 12 full-year funding bills for fiscal year 2027. The House has completed its work, and now the Senate must complete its work. Continuing resolutions are imperfect tools. They are not replacements for full-year appropriations, but they can be useful under certain limited circumstances like those we currently find ourselves in. Mr. Speaker, I encourage my colleagues to support this measure, and I yield back the balance of my time.”
