The Senate Appropriations Committee this week will release its fiscal 2025 Energy-Water bill and four other spending measures ahead of the summer recess.
The spending panel will meet Thursday to mark up the bill for the Department of Energy and the Army Corps of Engineers, as well as the Defense, Homeland Security, Financial Services, and Labor-Health and Human Services-Education bills.
Appropriators will be looking to draw a contrast between their more measured and bipartisan work and the House’s more erratic effort that has yielded 12 partisan bills.
The Senate committee has already advanced seven spending measures with sweeping bipartisan support but has yet to move any to the floor for a final vote. The House has passed five fiscal 2025 bills on the floor but almost entirely along party lines.
