Chairman Walker on Minibus/CR Package

Washington - Republican Study Committee Chairman Mark Walker released the following statement upon passage of the Defense and Labor-HHS-Education appropriations and continuing resolution package:

“While it is important to fund the government, it needs to be done so in a way that puts America on a sustainable fiscal trajectory and reflects that Republicans control both chambers of Congress. Although it is essential to provide timely resources for our national defense, this $854 billion package accomplishes neither goal and continues to diminish the American dream for our children. Looking ahead to the December funding deadline, I hope that we reexamine the process that got us here and change it so that Congress can deliver policies we promised the American people.”
