THE 118TH CONGRESS

Mr. Cole, from the Committee on Appropriations, submitted the following

A N N U A L

R E P O R T

The Committee on Appropriations is the principal arm
through which the House of Representatives exercises its
constitutional responsibility to provide funds for the
operations of the various activities of the Federal Government.
Clause 1(b) of rule X of the House provides that the committee
shall have jurisdiction over the ``Appropriation of the revenue
for the support of the Government.'' This responsibility has
basically been vested in the committee since 1865.
The committee has been established by the House with a
membership of 61 during the 118th Congress. With relatively few
exceptions, the responsibilities of the committee are carried
out through its 12 subcommittees which in turn report to the
full committee. The subcommittees are organized essentially on
the functional basis with recognition of the existing structure
of the Departments and agencies within the executive branch.
(The jurisdictional assignments of subcommittees during the
118th Congress are displayed in Appendix C).

SUMMARY OF APPROPRIATIONS ACTIONS

118th Congress

During the 118th Congress, the Committee on Appropriations
undertook a comprehensive plan aimed at addressing urgent
needs, providing tangible benefits to communities, and ensuring
rigorous oversight, while also reining in out-of-control
spending and imposing needed controls on the Biden
administration. The Committee officially convened on February
8, 2023, with Chairwoman Kay Granger presiding over the
meeting.
On March 10, 2023, Chairwoman Granger declared the
Committee's readiness to receive submissions from Members for
Community Project Funding (commonly referred to as ``earmarks''
according to House rules) for the fiscal year 2024 process.
This initiative was part of the Committee's broader strategy to
reaffirm congressional spending authority consistent with the
Constitution and prove its capacity to yield positive outcomes
for local communities. House Republicans incorporated several
vital reforms into the earmarking process to enhance
transparency and accountability, including ensuring that funded
projects had a Federal nexus and were consistent with Federal
law and House rules.
The Committee held a number of oversight hearings in the
months of February and March. With the release of the
President's Budget on March 9, 2023, the Committee turned its
attention to the fiscal year 2024 appropriations process, and
associated budget hearings.
The Committee initiated its markup process on May 17, 2023,
starting with subcommittee markup of the Military Construction,
Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies bill and the Legislative
Branch bill. On June 27, 2023, the Committee reported the
Legislative Branch; Department of Defense; Military
Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies;
Department of Homeland Security; and Agriculture, Rural
Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies
bills to the full House. The Committee reported out five more
bills in June and July, ending with the Interior, Environment,
and Related Agencies bill on July 24, 2023.
The full House of Representatives began consideration of
fiscal year 2024 bills on July 26, 2023, when it took up H.R.
4366, the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related
Agencies Appropriations Act, 2024. H.R. 4366 passed the House
the following day by a vote of 219-211. On September 28, 2023,
the House passed three additional appropriations bills: H.R.
4365 (Defense) by a vote of 218-210; H.R. 4367 (Homeland
Security) by a vote of 220-208; and H.R. 4665 (State, Foreign
Operations, and Related Programs) by a vote of 216-212.
Also on September 28, 2023, the House passed a supplemental
appropriations bill, H.R. 5692, the Ukraine Security Assistance
and Oversight Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024, by a vote
of 311-117.
On September 30, 2023, the Committee introduced H.R. 5860,
a continuing resolution to maintain government funding through
November 17, 2023. H.R. 5860 passed the House the same day by a
vote of 335-91, and was signed into law as Public Law 118-15.
Following enactment of Public Law 118-15, the House resumed
its work on the remaining fiscal year 2024 appropriations
bills. On October 26, 2023, the House passed H.R. 4394, the
Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies
Appropriations Act, 2024, by a vote of 210-199. On November 1,

On November 1, 2023, the Committee introduced H.R. 6126,
the Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024,
which passed the House the following day by a vote of 226-196.
On November 13, 2023, the Committee introduced H.R. 6363, a
continuing resolution extending government funding for four
divisions through January 19, 2024, and the remaining eight
divisions through February 2, 2024. On November 14, it passed
the House by a vote of 336-95, and on November 16 was enacted
as Public Law 118-22.
On January 18, 2024, the House took up the Senate amendment
to H.R. 2872, a continuing resolution extending government
funding for four divisions through March 1, 2024, and the
remaining eight divisions through March 8, 2024. It passed the
House by a vote of 314-108 and on January 19 was signed into
law as Public Law 118-35. On February 28, 2024, the Committee
introduced H.R. 7463, a continuing resolution to extend

March 1 as Public Law 118-40.
On March 6, 2024, the Committee introduced H. Res. 1061,
the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024. H. Res. 1061 took up
H.R. 4366 with the Senate amendment thereto and concurred in

Related Agencies;

amendment to the Senate amendment to H.R. 4366, 75-22.

On March 22, 2024, the Committee introduced H. Res. 1102,
the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024. H. Res. 1102

Government;
Division C--Department of Homeland Security;
Division D--Departments of Labor, Health and
Human Services, and Education, and Related Agencies;

286-134. On March 23, the Senate concurred in the House
amendment to the Senate amendment to H.R. 2882, 74-24.
Consequently, the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024
was enacted into law on March 23, 2024 as Public Law 118-47.
On March 22, 2024, Chairwoman Granger announced she would
transition to Chair Emeritus and requested that a new chair be
appointed for the remainder of the 118th Congress. On April 11,
2024, Rep. Tom Cole became Chairman.
On April 17, 2024, the Committee introduced three
supplemental appropriations measures: H.R. 8034, the Israel
Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024; H.R. 8035, the
Ukraine Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024; and
H.R. 8036, the Indo-Pacific Security Supplemental
Appropriations Act, 2024. All three passed the House of
Representatives on April 20, 2024, and on April 24 were signed
into law as Public Law 118-50 pursuant to the provisions of H.
Res. 1160.
In May 2024, the Committee commenced an aggressive but
necessary schedule with the goal of reporting out all 12 fiscal
year 2025 appropriations bills by the middle of July. The
Committee began this process with the subcommittee markup of
the Military Construction and Veterans Affairs appropriations
bill on May 21. All subcommittee markups concluded on June 28,
with the Energy and Water Development and Interior-Environment
appropriations bills.
Full Committee markups began on May 23, with the Military
Construction and Veterans Affairs appropriations bill. The
Committee successfully reported out all twelve fiscal year 2025
appropriations bills by July 12, concluding with the
Agriculture, Rural Development, and Food and Drug
Administration; Transportation and Housing and Urban
Development; and Labor, Health and Human Services, and
Education appropriations bills.
The full House of Representatives first took up the fiscal
year 2025 appropriations bills on June 4, 2024, when it took up
H.R. 8580, the Military Construction and Veterans Affairs
Appropriations Act, 2025. H.R. 8580 passed the full House the
following day by a vote of 209-197. Over the remainder of June
and July, the House passed four additional fiscal year 2025
appropriations bills. On June 28, the House passed H.R. 8774,
the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2025, by a vote
of 217-198; H.R. 8752, the Department of Homeland Security

the Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related

July 24, 2024, the House passed H.R. 8998, the Interior,
Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2025, by
a vote of 210-205.
On September 6, 2024, the Committee introduced H.R. 9468,
the Veterans Benefits Continuity and Accountability
Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024, a supplemental
appropriations bill for the Department of Veterans Affairs. On
September 17, 2024, H.R. 9468 passed the House by voice vote,
and on September 20 was enacted as Public Law 118-82.
On September 23, 2024, the Committee introduced H.R. 9747,
the Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025, a
continuing resolution extending funding through December 20,
2024. On September 25, 2024, H.R. 9747 passed the House 341-82,
and on September 26 was enacted as Public Law 118-83.
On December 20, 2024, the Committee introduced H.R. 10545.
H.R. 10545 included both a continuing resolution to maintain
government funding through March 14, 2025; as well as emergency
supplemental appropriations for disaster relief. H.R. 10545
passed the House the same day by a vote of 366-34, and on
December 21 was enacted as Public Law 118-158.
During consideration of appropriations bills during the
118th Congress, the Committee continued to place a high
priority on having a Member-driven process through ``regular
order,'' so that Members of the House could participate in an
open, transparent, and fair appropriations process. All Members
of the House were invited to submit their priorities to every
subcommittee before bills were drafted. Bills were considered
in open subcommittee and committee markups, with information on
those bills publicly available before markups. Every effort was
made to ensure that any Member of the House who had an
amendment that complied with House Rules would have the
opportunity to have that amendment considered on the House
floor. This commitment to providing opportunities for all
Members to have input into the bills helped to ensure support
for the bills throughout the legislative process.
The Committee placed a high priority on conducting detailed
reviews of agency budgets and exercising comprehensive
oversight on the programs under its jurisdiction. Therefore, an
aggressive schedule of budget and oversight hearings was
developed for the 118th Congress. The Committee conducted 71
hearings, receiving testimony from 202 witnesses during the
first session, and conducted 61 hearings with 212 witnesses
during the second session. These hearings informed and guided
the Committee in the development of the fiscal year 2024 and
fiscal year 2025 appropriations bills.
In total, 12 regular appropriations bills were enacted in
the 118th Congress (12 for fiscal year 2024 and 0 for fiscal
year 2025), in addition to 6 supplementals and 6 continuing
resolutions.
The charts and tables following this summary display the
history of fiscal year 2024 and fiscal year 2025
appropriations, as well as budget comparisons for the fiscal
year 2024 and fiscal year 2025 funding levels.

SUPPORT PROVIDED BY THE GAO

In addition to the information made available to the committee
through its Surveys and Investigations Staff, the committee also
utilizes the resources of the Government Accountability Office. The
committee receives a copy of every GAO report addressed to the
Congress. In recent years the scope of the GAO auditing and review
capability has been enlarged to include management surveys. GAO has
extracted from those reports and compiled in separate volumes a list of
so-called ``significant audit findings'' for special use by the
committee staff in the annual appropriations hearings. These findings
relate to matters which are felt to require corrective action by the
committee's efforts, through legislation, or through administrative
efforts. This compilation is designed to identify problem areas in an
individual agency which might have applicability to other
organizations.
Additionally, the committee frequently calls upon GAO to make
special studies and investigations.
A listing of some reports and staff studies by the GAO which were
underway during the 118th Congress follows:

COMMITTEE RULES

(Adopted for the 118th Congress on February 8, 2023)

RESOLVED, That the rules and practices of the Committee on

administer oaths to any witness.

such rules and under such limitations as the Committee may
prescribe. Authorized subpoenas shall be signed by the Chair or

majority Members of the full Committee, consideration is to be
by the full Committee.
(d) The Majority Caucus of the Committee shall determine an
appropriate ratio of Majority to Minority Members for each
subcommittee. The Chair is authorized to negotiate that ratio

the work of the subcommittees.

(3) Notwithstanding any other provision of this
subsection, the Chair may prescribe such terms and

Archives and Records Administration shall be made
available in accordance with rule VII of the Rules of

shall notify the Ranking Minority Member of any
decision, pursuant to clause 3 (b)(3) or clause 4 (b)

Sec. 5: Committee and Subcommittee Hearings

(a) Overall Budget Hearings--Overall budget hearings by the
Committee, including the hearing required by section 242 (c) of
the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1970 and clause 4 (a)(1)
of rule X of the Rules of the House of Representatives, shall
be conducted in open session except when the Committee in open
session and with a majority present, determines by roll call
vote that the testimony to be taken at that hearing on that day
may be related to a matter of national security; except that
the Committee may by the same procedure close one subsequent
day of hearing. A transcript of all such hearings shall be
printed and a copy furnished to each Member, Delegate, and the
Resident Commissioner from Puerto Rico.
(b) Other Hearings:
(1) All other hearings conducted by the Committee or
its subcommittees shall be open to the public except
when the Committee or subcommittee in open session and
with a majority present determines by roll call vote
that all or part of the remainder of that hearing on
that day shall be closed to the public because
disclosure of testimony, evidence, or other matters to
be considered would endanger the national security or
would violate any law or rule of the House of
Representatives.
Notwithstanding the requirements of the preceding
sentence, a majority of those present at a hearing
conducted by the Committee or any of its subcommittees,
there being in attendance the number required under
section 5 (c) of these rules to be present for the
purpose of taking testimony, (1) may vote to close the
hearing for the sole purpose of discussing whether
testimony or evidence to be received would endanger the
national security or violate clause 2 (k)(5) of rule XI
of the Rules of the House of Representatives or (2) may
vote to close the hearing, as provided in clause 2
(k)(5) of such rule. No Member of the House of
Representatives may be excluded from nonparticipatory
attendance at any hearing of the Committee or its
subcommittees unless the House of Representatives shall
by majority vote authorize the Committee or any of its
subcommittees, for purposes of a particular series of
hearings on a particular article of legislation or on a
particular subject of investigation, to close its
hearings to Members by the same procedures designated
in this subsection for closing hearings to the public;
Provided, however, That the Committee or its
subcommittees may by the sameprocedure vote to close 5
subsequent days of hearings.
(2) Subcommittee chairs shall coordinate the
development of schedules for meetings or hearings after
consultation with the Chair and other subcommittee
chairs with a view toward avoiding simultaneous
scheduling of Committee and subcommittee meetings or
hearings.
(3) Each witness who is to appear before the
Committee or any of its subcommittees as the case may
be, insofar as is practicable, shall file in advance of
such appearance, a written statement of the proposed
testimony and shall limit the oral presentation at such
appearance to a brief summary, except that this
provision shall not apply to any witness appearing
before the Committee in the overall budget hearings.
(4) Each witness appearing in a nongovernmental
capacity before the Committee, or any of its
subcommittees as the case may be, shall, to the
greatest extent practicable, submit a written statement
including: a curriculum vitae; a disclosure of the
amount and source (by agency and program) of any
Federal grant (or subgrant thereof) or contract (or
subcontract thereof), or contracts, grants, or payments
originating from a foreign government, received during
the past 36 months by the witness or by an entity
represented by the witness and related to the subject
matter of the hearing; and a disclosure of whether the
witness is a fiduciary (including but not limited to a
director, officer, advisor, or resident agent) of any
organization or entity that has an interest in the
subject matter of the hearing. Such statements, with
appropriate redactions to protect the privacy of
witnesses, shall be made publicly available in
electronic form, 24 hours before the witness appears to
the extent practicable, but not later than 1 day after
the witness appears.
The disclosure referred to in this paragraph shall
include the amount and source of each Federal grant (or
subgrant thereof) or contract (or subcontract thereof)
related to the subject matter of the hearing, and the
amount and country of origin of any payment, grant, or
contract related to the subject matter of the hearing
originating with a foreign government.
(c) Quorum for Taking Testimony--The number of Members of
the Committee which shall constitute a quorum for taking
testimony and receiving evidence in any hearing of the
Committee shall be two.
(d) Calling and Interrogation of Witnesses:
(1) The Minority Members of the Committee or its
subcommittees shall be entitled, upon request to the
Chair or subcommittee chair, by a majority of them
before completion of any hearing, to call witnesses
selected by the Minority to testify with respect to the
matter under consideration during at least 1 day of
hearings thereon.
(2) The Committee and its subcommittees shall observe
the 5-minute rule during the interrogation of witnesses
until such time as each Member of the Committee or
subcommittee who so desires has had an opportunity to
question the witness.
(e) Broadcasting and Photographing of Committee Meetings
and Hearings--Whenever a hearing or meeting conducted by the
full Committee or any of its subcommittees is open to the
public, those proceedings shall be open to coverage by
television, radio, and still photography, and shall be
conducted in accordance with the requirements set forth in
clause (4)(f) of rule XI of the Rules of the House of
Representatives. Neither the full Committee Chair or
subcommittee chair shall limit the number of television or
still cameras to fewer than two representatives from each
medium (except for legitimate space or safety, in which case
pool coverage shall be authorized). To the maximum practicable,
the Committee shall provide audio and video coverage of each
hearing or meeting for the transaction of business in a manner
that allows the public to easily listen to and view the
proceedings and shall maintain the recordings of such coverage
in a manner that is easily accessible to the public.
(f) Subcommittee Meetings--No subcommittee shall sit while
the House is reading an appropriation measure for amendment
under the 5-minute rule or while the Committee is in session.
