Washington, D.C.– U.S. Senator Susan Collins, Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, issued a statement on the decision of the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to rescind the memo to temporarily freeze certain federal funding.
“I am pleased that OMB is rescinding the memo imposing sweeping pauses in federal programs.  While it is not unusual for incoming administrations to review federal programs and policies, this memo was overreaching and created unnecessary confusion and consternation.”
