The House is expected to vote Thursday on a resolution that will cut House office salaries and expenses by 5 percent, The Hill reports.

The resolution, sponsored by Rep. Greg Walden (R-Ore.), aims to save $35.2 million this year. It would be in effect for two years.

The measure also reduces the Appropriations Committee budget by 9 percent, The Hill reports.

Cuts to committees may continue with incoming House Appropriations Chairman Hal Rogers (R-Ky), who wants to reduce the committee’s staff by 20 percent.

A long-delayed disaster aid bill that’s a top political priority for some of President Donald Trump’s GOP allies is facing a potentially tricky path as it heads to the Senate floor this week. Although the measure has wide backing from both parties, the White House isn’t pleased with the bill and is particularly opposed to efforts by Democrats to make hurricane relief to Puerto Rico more generous.
