Lankford and Other Senators Consider Water Funding Measures

The federal funding of energy and water development will get the attention Thursday of Oklahoma U.S. Sen. James Lankford and others on the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Energy and Water Development.

A 9:30 a.m. (CST) hearing will focus on the markup of the Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act.

The Senators will also markup the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration and Related Agencies Appropriations Act.

It’s considered a business meeting for members of the subcommittee as they consider subcommittee allocations of budget outlays.
