Granger, Calvert on FY24 Defense Appropriations Bill

Press Release

"As Chairman, I wanted the Fiscal Year 2024 Defense Appropriations bill to send a clear message to our adversaries that the U.S. military will have the tools it needs to win any fight.

"To address the increasing global threats, this bill prioritizes investing in America's military superiority, shaping a more efficient and effective workforce, promoting a culture of innovation, combatting illicit fentanyl and synthetic opioids, taking care of servicemembers, and ensuring that the Department of Defense (DOD) focuses on its mission - not culture wars. This bill rejects many of the Biden Administration's misguided funding proposals, such as climate change initiatives, far-left social policies, and shrinking the Navy. I ensured this bill provides significant oversight of the Department's request, resulting in approximately $20 billion in cuts that I have redirected to improve the lethality and readiness of the force."
