WASHINGTON — Speaker Johnson released the following statement on the FY26 appropriations process and the next set of bills to be considered on the House floor this week. The FY26 Energy and Water Development, Commerce-Justice-Science, and Interior-Environment conference bills underscore House Republicans’ commitment to restoring regular order and completing annual appropriations without a bloated omnibus bill.
“This week, House Republicans will advance the next set of FY26 funding bills and build momentum toward completing the annual appropriations process without a bloated omnibus bill,” Speaker Johnson said. “I commend Chairman Cole and the bipartisan, committee-led work to deliver full-year funding bills that spend less than another continuing resolution, deliver critical priorities for our Members, and continue to advance President Trump’s America First agenda. As these bills come to the floor, we are reaffirming our commitment to return to regular order, restore accountability to the process, and be responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars.”
“President Trump set an important foundation by signing three appropriations bills into law in November, and we are carrying that momentum into the new year. This bipartisan, bicameral package reflects steady progress toward completing FY26 funding responsibly. It invests in priorities crucial to the American people: making our communities safer, supporting affordable and reliable energy, and responsibly managing vital resources. It also delivers critical community projects nationwide, along with investments in water infrastructure, ports, and flood control that protect localities and keep commerce moving. Developed through committee-led negotiations and thoughtful deliberation, this package demonstrates how an accountable process produces strong policy. I commend our Cardinals for their leadership in producing a measure that turns priorities into action and puts America first,” House Appropriations Committee Chairman Tom Cole said.
