After passing the Legislative Branch and State-Foreign Operations spending bills on Wednesday, the House approved mostly along party lines a seven-bill appropriations package for FY2022 on Thursday. This means that the chamber has cleared nine of the 12 annual appropriations measures.
Included in Thursday’s package were: Agriculture; Energy and Water Development; Financial Services; Interior and Environment; Labor-HHS-Education; Military Construction-Veterans Affairs; and Transportation-HUD.
The chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, Patrick Leahy (D-VT), confirmed earlier today that the first three bills in that chamber– Agriculture, Energy and Water, and Mil Con-VA– will move next week, with the measures expected to go through the respective subcommittees on Monday and heading to the full committee on Wednesday.
