Madam speaker, I rise today in support of this appropriations package.
I want to start by thanking all of the members and staff who were involved in this process.
We looked hard at our needs and developed a package to carry us through the process. Two weeks ago, I talked about the changes House Republicans made regarding how we fund the government. We made targeted cuts to wasteful programs and developed a package that is proof of that. We looked at each need, and it was clear that the world is becoming a more dangerous place.
We made changes and decided on efforts that include:
- Countering China,
- Developing next-generation weapons,
- And investing in the quality of life of our service members.
I am proud to say that this bill strengthens our national security and funds critical defense efforts.
This package also includes other key priorities:
WASHINGTON - Over five months ago, we witnessed Hamas brutally attack the Israeli people. Unfortunately, the situation in the region has only gotten worse. Now more than ever, we must support our ally Israel in its efforts to defend itself against the attacks of Hamas and Iranian-backed proxies.
