Providing amounts for the expenses of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence in the One Hundred Nineteenth Congress.
Summary
H. Res. 92 is an internal House resolution that authorizes funding for the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence for the 119th Congress. It sets a maximum total amount of $19,240,928 for committee expenses, including staff salaries, and divides that amount between the first and second sessions of the Congress.
The resolution also establishes administrative controls over how the money may be spent. Payments must be made on vouchers authorized by the committee, signed by the committee chair, and approved under procedures set by the House Committee on House Administration. The funds must be used in accordance with regulations prescribed by that committee, making this a housekeeping measure governing committee operations rather than a policy bill affecting the public directly.
Impact
This resolution does not amend the U.S. Code or create new substantive law; instead, it allocates House funds for the Intelligence Committee’s operations during the 119th Congress. Its practical effect is to authorize committee staffing and operating expenses within specified limits and to require compliance with House administrative rules for disbursement and oversight.
Sentiment
Based on the available record, the bill appears routine and noncontroversial. It was introduced by Representative Crawford with Representative Himes, suggesting bipartisan sponsorship, and there are no recorded committee transcripts or votes indicating opposition or debate. The measure appears to be a standard internal funding resolution for a standing House committee.
Contention
No specific points of contention are reflected in the available materials. Because the resolution concerns committee budgets, any disagreement would likely center on the size of the authorization, staffing levels, or oversight procedures, but no such objections are documented here. The absence of votes or hearing discussion suggests the measure was treated as a procedural and administrative matter.
