House Appropriations Chairman Hal Rogers disclosed a partial list of 70 spending cuts that will be included in an upcoming Continuing Resolution bill. The CR legislation will fund the federal government for the seven months remaining in the fiscal year, while slashing spending. The total spending cuts in the CR will exceed $74 billion, including $58 billion in non-security discretionary spending reductions.

Rogers said, “Make no mistake, these cuts are not low-hanging fruit.” But, the list does include reductions for Farm Service Agency, Agriculture Research, and Rural Development Programs.
