Mario Diaz-Balart

“I am pleased to present the fiscal year 2027 National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs appropriations bill to the House for consideration and for approval. Now, let me start by noting the untimely, sad passing of our friend and colleague, Senator Lindsey Graham. As chairman of the State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Subcommittee in the Senate, he was my counterpart. We worked together closely on our top priority, the national security of the United States.”

“As chairman of the National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs Subcommittee, I rise in strong support for H.R. 7006. This full-year funding bill really carries out our Nation's foreign policy in a historic way in so many different aspects.”
