Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. MALOY. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of this rule that moves appropriations bills, bills that reflect the leadership of Chairman Cole and the priorities of this Congress, avoiding another shutdown and spending taxpayer dollars responsibly in a way that directly benefits Americans.

These bills lower the cost of living and boost the economy. They support domestic energy production, resulting in lower costs for American families and businesses, and invest in water infrastructure to address drought and protect supplies for communities across this country.

These appropriations bills that are included in the rule spend hard- earned tax dollars responsibly, reduce spending below current levels, putting money back in Americans' pockets, and reduce our deficit. They ensure that government funding works efficiently to deliver services that make life better for Americans.

The American people are watching us. They want to see Congress do our most basic, essential function, which is spending government dollars and controlling the power of the purse. Through bipartisan, bicameral negotiations, led by appropriators, we are turning priorities into action and putting America first.

Mr. Speaker, this package demonstrates the value of Congress by delivering results for communities in Utah and across the country.

Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support the bill.
