WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Steny H. Hoyer (MD-5) released the following statement today after the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee passed a resolution that authorizes $759 million in Fiscal Year 2017 for construction of a fully consolidated Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) headquarters:

"I applaud today's vote in the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee to authorize federal funds for a new, fully consolidated FBI headquarters. I would especially like to thank Senator Ben Cardin for his leadership in passing this resolution. This is another major step forward in the process to successfully bring the consolidated FBI headquarters to Prince George's County. I will continue to work with Senator Cardin and my other colleagues in the Maryland Congressional Delegation on this important economic development project that will bring 11,000 jobs to Maryland."
