Foxx Opening Remarks on Reconciliation Same-Day Authority

As prepared for delivery:

Good afternoon, the Committee will come to order. 
 
Without objection, the Chair is authorized to declare a recess at any time.
 
Today, the Rules Committee is convening to consider a single measure providing same-day authority through Friday of this week for the Senate’s forthcoming reconciliation bill.
 
Granting same-day authority will allow the House to expeditiously advance this legislation to the president’s desk and uphold our commitment to fully fund ICE and CBP – and the men and women who work tirelessly to keep our homeland safe and secure every day.
 
I am sure there is more that can and will be said when we actually consider the legislation from the Senate. With that, I now yield to the Ranking Member for any comments he wishes to make.
