Highlights

H.R. 7567, the five-year Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026, advanced with bipartisan support, impacting farm policy and economic sectors.
S. 1318 reauthorizes Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act for three years through April 30, 2029, balancing security needs and constitutional rights.
S. Con. Res. 33 sets the congressional budget for fiscal year 2026 and through 2035, enabling appropriations and potential reconciliation for ICE, CBP, and DHS funding.

Committee agenda and legislative scope

As reported by the House Committee on Rules, Chair Virginia Foxx opens the hearing by outlining consideration of H.R. 7567, S. 1318, S. Con. Res. 33 and H.R. 2616. The remarks present the session as a procedural step for a broad legislative package with implications for farm policy, national security funding, budget execution and school governance.

Foxx describes H.R. 7567, the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026, as the five-year farm bill and says it is designed to support farmers, ranchers, foresters and other parts of the U.S. economy. She also says the measure reflects bipartisan work, noting that seven Democrats on the Agriculture Committee voted for the bill during committee consideration in March.

On S. 1318, the Foreign Intelligence Accountability Act, Foxx says the bill reauthorizes Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act for three years through April 30, 2029. She frames the measure as necessary for national security while also saying it works to protect constitutional rights.

Budget and education measures carry broader policy impact

Foxx says S. Con. Res. 33 establishes the congressional budget for fiscal year 2026 and sets budgetary levels through 2035. She presents the resolution as a way to complete the appropriations process and to prepare a reconciliation package that would fund ICE, CBP and other personnel within the Department of Homeland Security.

The fourth measure, H.R. 2616, the Stopping Indoctrination and Protecting Kids Act, is presented as expanding parental access to information about school environments and reinforcing parental involvement in education. Foxx also says the bill would bar federal funds from being used to teach or advance concepts related to gender ideology, placing the measure within a wider Republican policy push on education oversight and federal spending.

Our earlier coverage of the U.S. Department of Education’s FAFSA fraud-prevention rollout explained how real-time, risk-based identity screening is being embedded into the application process to stop fraudulent aid claims before money is disbursed. The report noted that applicants flagged as higher risk may be required to provide government-issued identification, and that the agency expects the tighter controls to reduce improper payments and save taxpayers more than $1 billion.
