Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Government Budget and Spending

Today, the House Appropriations Committee approved the Fiscal Year 2015 Interior and Environment Appropriations bill authored by Congressman Ken Calvert (CA-42), who serves as Chairman of the Interior and Environment Appropriations Subcommittee. The bill provides annual funding for the Interior Department, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and other agencies and commissions. The bill was approved by the Appropriations Committee by a vote of 29-19.

"Moving the Interior Appropriations bill through the full Appropriations Committee is an important step towards providing the Interior Department, EPA, and other agencies with a fiscally responsible budget for the upcoming year,"said Rep. Calvert."It is critical that the House and Senate act on the Interior bill and put the brakes on the EPA's regulatory approach that is intent on expanding the federal government's reach and harming our economy. I am hopeful that the Interior bill will be considered on the House floor in the near future."
