WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, House Appropriations Financial Services and General Government (FSGG) Subcommittee Chairman Dave Joyce (OH-14) questioned Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Russell Vought on the Administration’s spending plan for the remainder of Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 and its priorities for FY 2026. The hearing also covered OMB’s role in the decisions made by the Executive Branch, particularly as it relates to government spending and executive orders.

“As of May 27th, 157 executive orders, 39 memoranda, and 62 proclamations had been signed by the President. OMB plays a critical role in each one of these decisions. But as appropriators of the federal government, we need to work with OMB to ensure that funds are being used as Congress intended,” said Congressman Joyce in his opening remarks. “I look forward to discussing OMB’s FY 2026 request with Director Vought and how we can work together to ensure agencies have the resources they need to work on the priorities for our constituents and the public writ large.”
