Review - House Takes Up HR 4394 – FY 2024 EWR Spending

Yesterday, with the Speaker Logjam at least temporarily broken, the House resumed where they left off on October 3rd, 2023, consideration of HR 4394, the Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies [EWR] Appropriations Act, 2024, under a structured rule. Nineteen amendments were considered yesterday with four being approved by voice votes.

Moving Forward

The House is scheduled to finish consideration of HR 4394 today. This bill will likely be an interesting gauge of how some of the moderate Republicans are going to respond to the fallout of the Speaker Chaos of the last three weeks. I suspect that there will be more Republican no votes on some of these spending reduction amendments. How the more radical elements of the party respond to that repudiation will be a measure of how much they have learned about the need for compromise in the House.
