Appropriations
This week the House began consideration of FY 2015 appropriations bills with H.R. 4486, the 2015 Military Construction and Veterans Affairs Appropriations Act. H.R. 4486 comes close to fully funding the President’s FY 2015 request, making investments in staffing and record keeping for the Veterans’ Benefits Administration (VBA), family housing construction and prosthetic research. I voted YES. H.R. 4486 passed and the entire vote is recorded below:
Yesterday the House considered H.R. 4487, the 2015 Legislative Branch Appropriations Act. This bill provides funding for the Capitol Police, Congressional Budget Office, Member budgets, and other offices related to the operations of the Legislative Branch of government. H.R. 4487 provides the same overall funding level as last fiscal year. I voted YES. H.R. 4487 passed and the entire vote is recorded below:
