Committee Releases Conferenced National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs and Financial Services and General Government Bills

Washington, D.C. - U.S. Senator Susan Collins, Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, issued the following statement after the final fiscal year 2026 National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs and Financial Services and General Government funding bills were released.

"The appropriations process continues to move forward and advance priorities of the American people. This fiscally responsible package would realign U.S. foreign assistance and make America safer and stronger on the world stage. The bill invests in lifesaving global health programs, including the President's Emergency Plan for Aids Relief (PEPFAR) and Maternal and Child Health programs. It includes funding for security assistance, continuing our longstanding commitments to allies and partners, such as Israel, Jordan, and the Philippines.

"The bill also supports federal, state and local law enforcement in their efforts to fight drug trafficking and money-laundering, and it provides funding for our federal judiciary and construction and repairs at our nation's courthouses, federal buildings, and land ports of entry."
