Harris Issues Statement on Passage of FY19 Spending Bills | 2018-06-08 | 2018 | 2018-06 | Republican | House | MD | Andy Harris | H001052 | harris.house.gov | legacy | WASHINGTON, DC: On June 8, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 5895, the Energy and Water, Legislative Branch, and Military Construction and Veterans Affairs Appropriations Act. Congressman Andy Harris, M.D. (MD-01), a member of the Appropriations Committee, made the following statement lauding the bill's passage: Last year, Congress passed four temporary funding patches before finally passing a deeply flawed omnibus spending bill on March 22 more than five months late. Today, the House of Representatives sent a clear message to the American people and to the Senate: we are returning to getting things done on time and getting our nation's finances back on track. The spending bills passed by the House today provide $85.3 billion for the Department of Veterans Affairs and direct $7.28 billion to the Army Corps of Engineers for repairing our nation's water resources infrastructure, including much needed dredging in Maryland's First District. As a member of the Appropriations Committee, I am committed to seeing the rest of our spending bills passed through the House in a timely manner, and I urge my colleagues in the Senate to follow suit. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
