Pelosi Statement on New Bipartisan Appropriations Agreement

Washington, D.C. – Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued the following statement after House Appropriations Chair Rosa DeLauro and Senate Appropriations Chair Patrick Leahy announced a bipartisan, bicameral deal on a framework for an omnibus government funding package for fiscal year 2022:

"Today's bipartisan, bicameral agreement on a framework for an omnibus government funding package represents an important step to strengthen our economic and national security as we meet the needs of the American people.

"This framework will allow our nation to make bold new investments in American workers and American families while creating good-paying jobs. When the Congress enacts this omnibus, we will also unlock the increased federal funding included in our Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which will transform our roads, bridges, water systems, airports, broadband and more as we revitalize our middle class.

"I salute Chairwoman Rosa DeLauro for her principled, tireless leadership in negotiating this omnibus. As Democrats continue to negotiate specific funding levels and policy provisions, we will not relent in our mission to deliver For The People."
