Rudy Yakym: “We would also like to praise the inclusion, during floor debate, of an amendment offered by Reps. Salud Carbajal, Rudy…”

On behalf of Chairman Jodey Arrington and the Budget Committee, I am here to present several ideas for the Rules package for the 119th Congress that will ensure greater fiscal accountability and responsibility.

We need to change the requirement of the congressional budget resolution to include a baseline and a target debt-to-GDP ratio.

I request that this committee consider a change in the Gift Rule or revise the application and guidelines of that rule to allow for limited support from volunteers for congressional offices, particularly in the district.

I am grateful for this opportunity to chair the Task Force and for your leadership on this Committee.
