Senator John Hoeven, a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, today helped secure full Senate approval of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 Agriculture, Military Construction and Veterans Affairs (Milcon-VA), and Transportation Appropriations Bills.
“We’ve been working very hard to get back to regular order in the appropriations process. The Senate Appropriations Committee has passed each bill, and now we’re working to debate and pass them on the Senate floor,” said Hoeven. “Today, we secured passage of the Agriculture, Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, and Transportation Appropriations bills through the full Senate. These bills advance important priorities for our farmers and ranchers, veterans and military members, as well as communities across our state.”
Senator Kevin Cramer released the following statement after voting in favor of H.R. 4366, the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, which passed the Senate with a vote of 82 to 15.
“The passage of these agriculture, housing, transportation, military construction, and veterans funding bills is long overdue. While an amendment process on this smaller package is better than being jammed with a monstrous omnibus, this should have been done long ago. Our work isn’t done yet. I urge Leader Schumer, Speaker Johnson, and the rest of my colleagues to openly debate and pass the rest of these funding bills. We owe it to the American people to avoid the threat of a government shutdown.”
