The House of Representatives has passed three significant appropriations bills: the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, the State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, and the Department of Defense Appropriations Act. Chairman Jodey Arrington (TX-19) issued a statement following the passage.

"Protecting its citizens, defending our freedom, and providing for the common defense is the first and most important job of the federal government. Unfortunately, President Biden’s self-inflicted open-border crisis has brought our nation’s most imminent threat right to our doorstep," said Arrington. "That’s why I was proud to support these bills, which ensure our troops have the resources they need to safely and effectively do their jobs, restore American leadership in the world, and compel President Biden to secure the border and enforce the laws of the land."

Arrington concluded, "Furthermore, it funds Dyess Air Force Base, supports the development of the B-21, and ensures the brave airmen who serve at Dyess have everything they need to deter our enemies and defend our allies."
