FY'07 Homeland Security Appropriations Bill - Full Committee Markup
Wednesday, May 17, 2006
-
I am pleased to be here for the consideration of the FY 2007 appropriations bill for the Department of Homeland Security. The bill before us provides $32.08 billion in discretionary funds for the upcoming fiscal year, $1.8 billion above fiscal year 2006 and – after adjusting for aviation passenger fees – $165 million below the President’s request. Our allocation does not completely plug the $1.3 billion hole the President created by proposing a new passenger security fee – a fee we cannot agree to – but it does provide ample resources to fund the Department’s operations in FY 2007.
