Representative Smith statement on Recissions Package

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Representative Adam Smith (D-Wash.) released the following statement following the passage of the recissions package through the U.S. House of Representatives.
 
“I am adamantly opposed to the recissions packaged offered on the House floor yesterday, which would codify President Trump and Elon Musk’s unlawful cuts to funding for USAID and public broadcasting, among other important programs.

“This is part of an effort from the Trump Administration to clean the record on their unlawful cuts to vital programs and agencies which provide essential, often life-saving, services for Americans and individuals across the globe. We need to reinvest in these vital programs instead of kneecapping them.”
