Republicans have already expressed support for the package.
House Republicans released their bill on June 6 to rescind $9.4 billion in federal spending ahead of a floor vote next week. The package would include eliminating funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which supports NPR and PBS.
The seven-page bill would rescind $22 million from the U.S. African Development Foundation, $15 million from the U.S. Institute for Peace, and billions of dollars in bilateral economic assistance.
The legislation would codify some of the cuts flagged by the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE.
The White House sent the package to Congress last week under the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974.
Under it, the president sends rescission requests to Congress, which has 45 days to take action on them.
It is not subject to the 60-vote filibuster threshold in the Senate.
Republicans have already expressed support for the package.
“Now that this wasteful spending by the federal government has been identified by DOGE, quantified by the administration, and sent to Congress, House Republicans will fulfill our mandate and continue codifying into law a more efficient federal government,” House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) wrote on social media platform X.
“This is exactly what the American people deserve.”
Rep. Dan Meuser (R-Pa.) wrote on X: “These packages will be a key step toward codifying President Trump’s agenda and delivering lasting spending reductions in government.
“With nearly $7 trillion in annual federal spending, we need to prioritize the ’must-haves’ over the ‘nice-to-haves,’ to address our enormous national debt.”
