Cochran, Leahy Announce Senate Appropriations Subcommittee Chairmen and Membership Rosters

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Thad Cochran (R-Miss.) and Vice Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) today announced subcommittee chairmen, ranking members and membership rosters for the 115th Congress.

Cochran and Leahy reiterated their goal for the committee and its subcommittees to write and advance appropriations bills in a responsible and timely manner.  The committee will work to complete the FY2017 appropriations process and embark on the FY2018 cycle.

“The Appropriations Committee traditionally works well together to provide oversight of federal agencies and to write bills that responsibly allocate taxpayer funding to areas of national importance.  Subcommittee chairmen, working with their Democratic counterparts, will be responsible for continuing that practice,” Cochran said.  “I look forward to working with Vice Chairman Leahy and the entire committee to advance bills and provide opportunities for all Senators to review them and offer input.”

Leahy said “I am glad to join Chairman Cochran in announcing the membership rosters for the 115th Congress.  I look forward to working closely with Chairman Cochran, and members from both sides of the aisle, as we craft appropriations bills that will set our annual priorities to meet the needs of the American people.”
