House GOP lawmakers on Tuesday praised the $15 billion rescission package sent by the Trump administration and said they would vote soon to pass it.

“This is all unspent money that has been identified over the last 10 years, sitting in accounts that has never been spent, won’t ever be spent,” Rep. Chris Collins, R-N.Y., said after a closed-door GOP meeting. “Which should be noncontroversial.”
