Today, House Appropriations Committee Chairman Tom Cole (R-OK) expressed his support for the House's passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R. 1). The bill is set to be signed into law by President Trump.
"On the eve of America’s birthday, today’s passage reflects both the strength of our founding principles and the promise of the golden chapters ahead," stated Cole. He highlighted that the act fulfills President Trump's commitment to empower Americans by implementing significant tax cuts for working families, farmers, and small businesses. It also aims to strengthen border security and national defense, enhance economic growth and investment, and reduce the deficit through mandatory savings while protecting critical programs.
Cole described this legislative move as a "transformational step toward restoring American greatness," emphasizing its foundation in common sense and fiscal responsibility. He assured that these priorities would continue to guide their work as they proceed with the FY26 appropriations process.
He concluded by stating that although OBBBA has reached its final stages, efforts to benefit Americans are ongoing. "Our Republican agenda—and the funding work still to come—remains focused on what matters most: protecting taxpayers, defending the homeland, and rebuilding the American dream."
