    EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT

    OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET


    WASHINGTON, D.C. 20503

    January 9, 2019
    (House)

    STATEMENT OF ADMINISTRATION POLICY


    H.R. 264 — Financial Services and General Government Appropriations Act, 2019
    (Rep. Quigley, D-IL)
    H.R. 267 — Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies
    Appropriations Act, 2019
    (Rep. Price, D-NC)
    H.R. 265 — Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related
    Agencies Appropriations Act, 2019
    (Rep. Bishop, D-GA)
    H.R. 266 — Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies
    Appropriations Act, 2019
    (Rep. McCollum, D-MN)

    The Administration opposes passage of H.R. 264, making appropriations for financial services
    and general government; H.R. 267, making appropriations for the Department of Transportation,
    and Housing and Urban Development, and related agencies; H.R. 265, making appropriations for
    Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies
    programs; and H.R. 266, making appropriations for the Department of the Interior, environment,
    and related agencies for the fiscal year (FY) ending September 30, 2019 and for other purposes.
    House Democratic leadership has expressed its intent to consider these appropriations bills in
    sequence. The Administration is committed to working with the Congress to reopen agencies
    affected by lapsed appropriations, but any effort to do so must address the security and
    humanitarian crisis on our Southwest border and should restore funding for all agencies affected
    by the lapse.

    For FY 2019, the Administration has repeatedly and clearly communicated the requirements for
    border security, most recently in a letter from the Office of Management and Budget to the
    House and Senate Appropriations Committees on January 6, 2019, that reflected the latest in the
    bipartisan discussions.

    Moving these four bills without a broader agreement to address the border crisis is unacceptable.
    The Administration looks forward to working with the Congress to enact appropriations
    legislation that adequately addresses the security and humanitarian crisis on our Southwest
    border and gets the entire Federal Government back to work for the American people as soon as
    possible.

    If H.R. 264, H.R. 267, H.R. 265, or H.R. 266 are presented to the President, his advisors would
    recommend that he veto the bills.
