Ms. GRANGER. Mr. Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
Ms. GRANGER. Mr. Chair, I yield myself such time as I may consume. I rise in opposition to the en bloc package of amendments. These 46 amendments do nothing to reduce inflation, fix the supply chain, lower gas prices, or bolster our national security. Instead, these amendments continue the majority's trend of inflationary spending increases, including a proposal to increase mandatory spending by another $1 billion, just one example of excess spending. The Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Office receives an enormous 25 percent increase in this bill, and this en bloc package would increase it even more. My colleagues on the other side of the aisle must understand Americans will not stand for bloated bureaucracy and runaway spending. Mr. Chair, I urge Members to vote ``no'' on this en bloc package, and I yield back the balance of my time.
Ms. GRANGER. Mr. Chair, I demand a recorded vote.
Ms. GRANGER. Mr. Chair, I yield 10 minutes to the gentleman from California (Mr. Valadao), a member of the Appropriations Committee.
Ms. GRANGER. Mr. Chairman, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Good).
Ms. GRANGER. Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
Ms. GRANGER. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
Ms. GRANGER. Mr. Chair, I demand a recorded vote.
Ms. GRANGER. Mr. Chairman, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Grothman).

Ms. GRANGER. Mr. Chair, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Good).
Ms. GRANGER. Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
Ms. GRANGER. Mr. Chair, I demand a recorded vote.
Ms. GRANGER. Mr. Chairman, I yield 10 minutes to the gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. Rose).
Ms. GRANGER. Mr. Chair, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Chair, I rise in strong opposition to this en bloc package of amendments. These 29 amendments include excess funding and policies that expand the scope and reach of the Federal Government. They do this while also limiting our country's energy options and allowing funding for President Biden's executive order on abortion. Again, Mr. Chair, I urge a ``no'' vote on this en bloc package, and I reserve the balance of my time.
Ms. GRANGER. Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
Ms. GRANGER. Mr. Chair, I demand a recorded vote.
