WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Senator Chris Coons (D-Del.), Chair of the Senate State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs (SFOPS) Appropriations Subcommittee and a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, released the following statement on the president’s budget:
“I’m glad to see such a strong request from President Biden to fund the State Department, USAID, and other international programs. As Chair of the Appropriations Subcommittee that funds foreign assistance, I will work with my colleagues on a bipartisan basis to pass a Fiscal Year 2023 appropriations bill that meets today’s unprecedented global needs and advances U.S. national security, funds pandemic response and preparedness, combats climate change, and promotes American diplomatic and humanitarian efforts. A budget reveals your priorities and your values, and today’s budget demonstrates that President Biden values strong American engagement and leadership around the world.”
