WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Rep. Calvert issued the following statement on the release of the Fiscal Year 2014 Budget Resolution:
Rep. Ken Calvert is pleased to announce his 21st Annual Academy Night event for high school students in the 42nd Congressional District who are interested in attending one of the U.S. military academies.
Today, Congressman Ken Calvert (R-Corona) voted along with a bipartisan majority of his House colleagues to pass H.R. 933, the Department of Defense, Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, and Full-Year Continuing Appropriations Act of 2013. The bill provides funding to operate federal government agencies until the end of the fiscal year on September 30, 2013.
I supported House passage of two bills that replaced sequestration with reforms that resulted in smarter cuts in other areas of the budget. Unfortunately the Senate did not take up those bills, the President has not shown leadership on this issue and now sequestration will go into effect on Friday, March 1.
