WASHINGTON – U.S. Senators Roger Wicker, R-Miss., and Joe Manchin, D-W. Va., today sent a letter to Senate leadership and the Senate Appropriations Committee requesting the continued inclusion of the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits federal funding for elective abortions, in legislation that will soon be considered by the committee.
“The Hyde Amendment is a decades-long, consensus-building compromise, and we urge you to maintain this longstanding provision in the Fiscal Year 2022 bill,” the Senators wrote.

Strengthening American Democracy by Increasing Legislative Branch Capacity


Dear Chair DeLauro, Chair Leahy, Ranking Member Granger, and Vice Chair Shelby:
On behalf of the undersigned individuals, civil society organizations, and industry groups, we urge you to increase the share of discretionary funding available for the Legislative branch both to address the historically diminished resources available to the Legislative branch and to meet the challenges facing Congress in our current time of crisis. We firmly believe that dedicating resources to build a stronger, more capable Congress is of key importance to our democracy and is necessary for it to fulfill its constitutional responsibilities. Therefore,
we urge you to increase the 302(b) allocation for the legislative branch by 10 percent as you determine spending levels for FY 2022. ....
