WASHINGTON — House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-WI) released the following statement after the House passed the final agreement for the FY2016 budget.

“I want to thank my colleagues, especially Chairman Price, for putting together this agreement. It would balance the budget, repeal Obamacare, fix our tax code, strengthen our national security, and allow the House to pursue the reforms we need to save Medicare. This plan would create more opportunity in our country and build a healthy economy for all, and I’m happy to give it my support.”
