Rep. McCollum Statement Opposing the National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs Appropriations Bill

I rise today in opposition to H.R. 8595, the Fiscal Year 2027 State and Foreign Operations appropriations bill. I opposed the bill when it was reported out of the House Appropriations Committee, and urge my colleagues to join me in opposing the bill on the House Floor. Before I address underlying issues with the base bill, I’d like to address one amendment offered by Mr. Massie.
