Trump Admin Sends $9.4 Billion Rescissions Package to the House– www.breitbart.com Source Link Excerpt:
The Trump administration sent a $9.4 billion rescissions package to the House of Representatives that would eliminate “wasteful foreign aid spending” at the Department of State and USAID, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) revealed.
In a joint statement, Johnson, Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA), House Majority Whip Tom Emmer R-MN), and Rep. Lisa McClain (R-MI), highlighted how Republicans could now “fulfill” their “mandate and continue codifying into law a more efficient federal government.”
“Today, the House has officially received the rescissions request from the White House to eliminate $9.4 billion in wasteful foreign aid spending at the State Department and USAID and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which funds NPR and PBS,” Johnson said in a post on X. “Now that this wasteful spending by the federal government has been identified by DOGE, quantified by the Administration, and sent to Congress, House Republicans will fulfill our mandate and continue codifying into law a more efficient federal government.”
“This is exactly what the American people deserve,” the statement continued. “Next week, we will put the rescissions bill on the floor of the House and encourage all our Members to support this commonsense measure.”
