Summary
What This Bill Does
This resolution appropriates $19.24 million to fund the operations of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence for the 119th Congress (2025-2027). The funding covers all committee expenses including staff salaries, split into two sessions: $9.54 million for 2025-2026 and $9.70 million for 2026-2027.
Who Benefits and How
The primary beneficiaries are the House Intelligence Committee staff and operations. The committee receives dedicated funding to maintain its intelligence oversight responsibilities, ensuring continuity of operations and competitive staff compensation. This enables the committee to effectively monitor and oversee U.S. intelligence agencies throughout the two-year congressional term.
Who Bears the Burden and How
Federal taxpayers bear the cost through House of Representatives appropriations. The expenditure requires strict procedural controls: all payments must be authorized by the committee, signed by the committee chairman, and approved by the House Committee on Administration. These oversight requirements create additional administrative burden for committee leadership but ensure fiscal accountability.
Key Provisions
- Authorizes $19,240,928 in total funding for the House Intelligence Committee over two years
- Splits funding into two annual sessions with slightly higher allocation for the second year ($9.70M vs $9.54M)
- Requires three-tier authorization for all expenditures: committee authorization, chairman signature, and House Administration approval
