Providing amounts for the expenses of the Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party in the One Hundred Nineteenth Congress.

This House Resolution (H. Res. 104) provides funding authority for the expenses of the Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party in the 119th Congress. It authorizes up to $10,740,218 to cover the committee’s expenses, including staff salaries, to be paid out of the House’s committee salaries and expenses accounts. The funding is divided into two annual-like periods: up to $5,366,830 for January 3, 2025, through January 3, 2026, and up to $5,373,388 for January 3, 2026, through January 3, 2027. Payments are to be made via vouchers approved by the Select Committee Chair and in accordance with procedures set by the Committee on House Administration, and the funds must be expended in line with House regulations. The resolution establishes internal controls for how the money is spent and underscores that the funding is for the operational needs of the Select Committee, including staff salaries, in support of its mandate to examine strategic competition with the CCP. It does not create new policy, but it does set the budgeting and administrative framework for the committee’s work during the 119th Congress.
