White House to send $9.4 billion DOGE rescissions package to Congress as soon as Monday

Vought said that the bill would be sent over on "Monday or Tuesday, whenever the House is back in session, they will get our first recissions bill."

"We want to make sure that Congress passes its first rescissions bill, including the DOGE, and we will send more if they pass it," Vought added. He said that the first bill will be in regards to cuts in foreign aid, USAID, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and NPR, and other "waste and garbage" that was being funded, which was "not only wasteful but hurting our foreign policy."

He said that just a simple majority in the House and Senate is what’s needed to pass the bill. "And the virtue of this is that it's a process that also evades the Senate filibuster. So again, it needs to pass. And so we are being very careful that we do not use our procedural opportunities and in going down a path that won't lead to passage. But we are, we're pretty confident the House and the Senate are going to work with us to get this thing into law."

A White House spokesperson told the Daily Caller News Foundation that the bill is a $9.4 billion rescissions package that would codify some of DOGE’s work into law.

The package includes $1.1 billion in cuts to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and an $8.3 billion reduction in funding for foreign aid agencies such as USAID.

Once the package is sent to Congress, lawmakers have 45 days to vote on clawing back the funding.

House Speaker Mike Johnson said that the House is "eager and ready to act on DOGE’s findings so we can deliver even more cuts to big government that President Trump wants and the American people demand."

"We will do that in two ways: 1. When the White House sends its rescissions package to the House, we will act quickly by passing legislation to codify the cuts. 2. The House will use the appropriations process to swiftly implement President Trump’s 2026 budget."
