REP. CALVERT VOTES AGAINST PRICE TAG OF STATE/FOREIGN OPS APPROPRIATIONS BILL

Supported Many Provisions But the Bill Spends Too Much

WASHINGTON, D.C. July 10, 2009 – On Thursday, Rep. Calvert (R-CA) voted against the Fiscal Year 2010 State and Foreign Operations Appropriations bill. The legislation totals $48.8 billion in spending, which is $12 billion or 33% above last year’s level, not including supplemental funding.

"I support several of the funding measures in the bill including security assistance requests for strategic allies such as Israel, Egypt and Jordan," said Rep. Calvert. "I was especially pleased by the inclusion of $2.22 billion for Israel which is a close friend and ally. Unfortunately, I simply could not vote for a bill that was so fiscally irresponsible. At a time when our economy continues to struggle and Americans are losing jobs, the federal government should be reigning in spending not providing double-digit increases."
