Today, Congressman Gerry Connolly (D-VA), Chairman of the Subcommittee on Government Operations, released the following statement in support of the more than $13 billion in investments included in the Build Back Better Act, which will fall under the jurisdiction of the Subcommittee on Government Operations.

"As Chairman of the subcommittee with jurisdiction over the General Services Administration, IT modernization, US Postal Service, and Offices of Inspector General, I look forward to conducting robust oversight of the more than $13 billion in subcommittee funding included in the Build Back Better Act, particularly the provisions dedicated to improving the federal IT infrastructure. I thank our Leadership for recognizing that If we don't get the IT right, it will be nearly impossible to implement this transformative legislation. As we embark on the implementation of this once in a generation legislation, I remain committed to ensuring these investments are truly transformative and make government work better."
