Congressman Andy Barr today released the following statement following House passage of the FY 2014 Omnibus Appropriations bill:

"The people of central and eastern Kentucky sent me to Washington to rein in out-of-control federal spending, save our country from bankruptcy, and promote the long-term growth of our economy and our workforce.

"At a time when Kentucky families are struggling to stretch every dime, I am glad that this legislation reduces federal spending and sets priorities that honor hard-working taxpayers, while continuing to protect central and eastern Kentucky interests. While there is still much more work to do to achieve a balanced budget, this bill reflects my commitment to reducing federal spending and sets a solid foundation on which to work for the coming fiscal year. I appreciate the hard work of Chairman Hal Rogers in reaching this agreement."
