Washington, D.C. – Today, the House Appropriations Committee released the Fiscal Year 2027 bill for the National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs Subcommittee. The bill will be considered in subcommittee tomorrow, April 23rd, at 8:00 a.m. The markup will be live-streamed and can be found on the Committee’s website.
National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs Subcommittee Chairman Mario Díaz-Balart, “Over the last several years, we have focused on reducing unnecessary spending and redirecting resources to core national security priorities. The Fiscal Year 2027 NSRP legislation continues that work by advancing key national interests while ensuring careful use of taxpayer dollars. I’m proud of the progress we’ve made to realign funding in a way that strengthens our national security priorities and allows us to do more – and do it better – with less. I remain committed to protecting our national security interests and ensuring responsible stewardship of hard-earned taxpayer dollars. I am grateful for Chairman Tom Cole’s leadership and the support of my colleagues. Together, we have delivered an $11.7 billion reduction in total spending since Republicans took control while keeping our commitment to the American people – putting U.S. interests first, enforcing accountability, and ensuring every dollar serves a clear purpose.”
Chairman Tom Cole said, “The FY27 NSRP bill reflects a clear-eyed approach to U.S. leadership – grounded in strength, accountability, and results. It prioritizes the safety, freedom, and prosperity of the American people by directing resources to the highest-impact national security and economic priorities, while cutting waste and restoring discipline to our diplomacy efforts. This measure reinforces our support for key allies, pushes back against adversaries like Communist China and Iran, and ensures our foreign policy advances American interests first. It also demands greater accountability from partners, promotes self-sufficiency abroad, and safeguards taxpayer dollars through strong oversight. With Chairman Díaz-Balart’s leadership, this bill delivers a more focused, effective, and strategic approach to protecting Americans and maintaining our global advantage."
Fiscal Year 2027 National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs Appropriations Bill
The National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs (NSRP) Appropriations Bill provides a total discretionary allocation of $47.32 billion, which is $2.69 billion (6%) below the Fiscal Year 2026 enacted level, and reflects priorities of the America First agenda.
Within the total cuts, the NSRP bill maintains robust funding for our allies like Israel, Jordan, Egypt, and Taiwan and counters adversaries such as the Communist People’s Republic of China (PRC), Iran, Cuba, and drug cartels – including those designated as Foreign Terrorist Organizations. The bill supports the President’s vision to refocus and realign foreign policy to make America safer, stronger, and more prosperous, while ensuring all funds are spent in a manner consistent with relevant executive orders.
