Joyce Statement on Funding for FY 2020
Bill Fails to Provide Critical Funding for Border Security, National Defense
Congressman John Joyce (PA-13) today released the following statement on H.R. 4378, which appropriates funding for the federal government through November 21, 2019 and for other purposes.
"Appropriating Americans' taxpayer dollars is one of my key Constitutional duties, and I am committed to serving as a responsible steward of your taxes. Unfortunately, the funding bill we considered today which was posted mere hours before we voted fell short in providing the resources needed to secure our southern border and build the border wall, support our Armed Forces, and bolster our national security. Congress must provide stable funding for these critical priorities, and I will continue to work alongside President Trump and commonsense Members of Congress to find fiscally-responsible solutions."
