Overview

• The Senate Appropriations Committee adopted an amendment to restrict $1.4 billion in FBI relocation funds exclusively to the Greenbelt site.
• Sen. Lisa Murkowski broke with her party to support the measure, citing a lack of thorough analysis for the Reagan Building proposal.
• Lawmakers noted the administration has not completed security, mission or cost assessments for relocating into the Ronald Reagan Building.
• The amendment overturns the General Services Administration’s competitive November 2023 decision to replace the crumbling Hoover Building in Washington with a new campus in Greenbelt.
• With the amendment in place, the Justice Department funding bill is stalled, prolonging uncertainty over the FBI’s headquarters relocation.
