Murray and Collins Plan to Begin Bipartisan Senate Appropriations Markups in June

Press Release

"As yesterday's hearing made clear, passing bipartisan, on-time appropriations bills is critical if we want to stay ahead of competitors like the Chinese government. There are countless challenges that hinge on a dependable appropriations process--whether that's keeping America safe and standing up for democracy around the world, tackling the deadly threat of fentanyl, ensuring America remains the global leader in innovation, or strengthening our economy here at home. With so many urgent priorities before us, we are committed to marking up the Senate's appropriations bills starting in June. We have to show there is a bipartisan vision to strengthen our nation's competitiveness and security by investing in American leadership across the board and across the world--and a bipartisan will to get it done. We are determined to show that commitment exists through the Senate appropriations process."
