Good morning, welcome to the Labor, HHS, Education and Related Agencies Subcommittee for consideration of legislation making appropriations for fiscal year 2013.

Appropriations Committee Releases the Fiscal Year 2013 Labor, Health and Human Services Funding Bill
WASHINGTON, D.C. – House Appropriations Chairman Hal Rogers made remarks today in response to Senate Majority Leader Reid’s refusal to act on a single Appropriations bill before the November elections.
The statement by House Appropriations Chairman Hal Rogers follows:
Welcome to the full Committee markup of the fiscal year 2013 Interior, Environment and Related Agencies Appropriations bill. I want to personally thank Mr. Moran and each of the Members of the subcommittee for their active participation and the bipartisan spirit that continues to be a hallmark of our subcommittee’s work.
The fiscal year 2013 Interior and Environment Appropriations bill does a good job providing adequate funding for important programs, while reducing funding for departments and agencies that have been known for rampant, wasteful and over-inflated spending, bringing their budgets down to more sustainable, reasonable levels.
Mark Up to continue on Thursday, June 28, at 9 a.m.
To consider: Adoption of the Semiannual Activities Report of the Committee on Appropriations; Full Committee Markup of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Bill, FY 2013
Mr. Chairman, I rise in support of H.R. 5972, the Transportation, Housing and Urban Development Appropriations Act for fiscal year 2013.
