Frank Lautenberg: “Cutting down 20 percent by 2020?”

With my State's continued challenges and stubbornly high foreclosure rates, I call on the Treasury Department to redouble its efforts to ensure that New Jersey homeowners receive the help they need.

I am concerned that with our budget difficulties we will continue to see declining budgets for Defense Nuclear Non-Proliferation activities in favor of Weapons Activities.

I am honored to serve as chairman of this subcommittee, which has jurisdiction over crucial Federal programs that support our economy.

I remain concerned about the Department's fiscal year 2014 budget proposal to once again attempt to consolidate preparedness grants into one national program.
