STATEMENT OF ADMINISTRATION POLICY
H.R. 1314 – Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015
(Rep. Boehner, R-OH)
The
Administration supports House passage of H.R. 1314, the Bipartisan
Budget Act of 2015. The legislation would provide two years of
significant relief from sequestration for both defense and non‑defense
priorities, helping to grow the economy and build middle‑class economic
security by investing in education, job training and research while
keeping America safe. The agreement would ensure that relief from
sequestration is paid for in a balanced way, while also shielding
programs that working families depend on and protecting Medicare and
Social Security beneficiaries from harmful cuts. This bill also would
raise the Nation's debt limit, preserving the full faith and credit of
the United States.
The
Administration urges the Congress to pass this bipartisan agreement and
looks forward to working with the Congress to enact responsible,
full‑year FY 2016 appropriations – without ideological riders – based on
this agreement in order to continue growing the Nation's economy and
creating jobs.
