We have closely evaluated all appropriation requests, carefully screening each request to evaluate its merits, and these requests have been submitted in accordance with the proper Constitutional role that Congress performs in the federal budget process.
We examine these requests with two principles in mind: first, the project must represent a smart investment of taxpayer dollars, and second, these appropriation requests must be considered in an open and transparent way.
Please note that not all projects I request are funded. The Senate Appropriations Committee ultimately decides which projects receive funding.
