Thank you to Representative DeLauro, Speaker Pelosi, Senators Leahy and Shelby, Majority Leader Schumer, Minority Leader McConnell, and others for their assistance in passing H.R. 2617, the “Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023,” which makes appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2023, and provides emergency assistance for the situation in Ukraine, and for other purposes. President Bill authorized the enactment of H.R. 2617, which was the first piece of legislation to be announced by the White House.
