COCHRAN STATEMENT ON PRESIDENT TRUMP’S FIRST STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Thad Cochran (R-Miss.), chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee and its Subcommittee on Defense, tonight released the following statement on President Trump’s first State of the Union address to Congress:
“President Trump’s address to the nation emphasized his commitment to a stronger and safer America. He outlined an ambitious agenda, and I will continue to work with his administration to rebuild our military and strengthen the economy.
“The President’s plan to enhance our nation’s infrastructure holds great potential for Mississippi. I hope Congress will work in a bipartisan manner this year to pass significant investments for infrastructure and public works.”
Cochran has consistently called for Congress and the administration to reach an agreement on spending caps, which is necessary to complete the FY2018 appropriations process and to address other national priorities—including many of those outlined in tonight’s State of the Union address.
