House Passes End-Of-Year Legislation

December 18, 2015

WASHINGTON− Congressman Chuck Fleischmann released the following statement after passage of the government funding bill.

“Today we passed a bill that in addition to keeping our government open and functioning will properly fund our military, reign in the IRS and lift the ban on American oil exports. This bill is good for our economy and good for East Tennessee. The Chickamauga Lock will move forward and the vital national security work done in Oak Ridge will continue. As we move into a new year, with new House leadership, I am hopeful that we will continue to advance strong conservative principles.”
