During a press release the day the Bill was passed, Lewis was noted to say "Over the past two budget cycles, we have reduced discretionary spending by $95 billion -- showing that Congress is beginning to get the federal budget on the right track after four years of runaway spending. I am proud to say that this appropriations bill also keeps our priorities straight -- ensuring we provide vital support to those defending our nation, and to the veterans who deserve our respect and appreciation" (J. Lewis, 2011).
