Who's Who in Key Committees |
Who's Who in Key Committees for funding DVA and federal employee pay and benefits. The Appropriations Committees in the House and Senate are the committees, which set the funding for federal agencies and programs. These committees are very powerful as they write the bills to fund DVA and often include specific language on programs or how monies are to be spent. AFGE regularly testifies before the House Subcommittee on VA-HUD Appropriations. (The Senate Appropriations Committee only permits the public to submit testimony for the record not in person.)
