Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act. 2015. and to set forth my views on certain matters concerning or relating to the jurisdiction of the Committee on the Judiciary. While the bill does fund many agencies and programs within the Judiciary Committees jurisdiction at the 2014 enacted level or higher through September 2015. H.R. 83 funds the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) only through February 27. 2015 because of the Republican Leaderships opposition to the Presidents actions on immigration. By restricting funding to DHS to a highly limited duration. this measure is not only shortsighted and irresponsible. but potentially harmful to all Americans. H.R. 83. by providing shortterm funding to DHS. makes it nearly impossible for the agency to pursue longterm strategies to ensure the safety and security of our Nation.
