“Consistent with our priority to cut unnecessary spending and bureaucracy, this legislation continues a downward trend in spending that constitutes a 20% cut in CJS appropriations under the Republican-led House. Following House efforts to combat human trafficking last week, this legislation funds critical anti-human trafficking and anti-cyber intrusion programs to keep our citizens and our children safe.
“I am pleased with the work that Chairman Hal Rogers and Subcommittee Chairman Frank Wolf have done to save the American people’s hard-earned tax dollars while advancing American competitiveness through scientific innovation and keeping our people safe.”
