Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 7217, a bill that will provide additional support for Israel. I want to thank Chairman Calvert for his leadership on this bill.

Nearly four months ago, we watched Hamas brutally attack the Israeli people. Unfortunately, the situation in the region has only gotten worse.

Israel, and now U.S. Forces, have been attacked by terrorist groups backed by Iran. Funding is needed to address the growing threats we face.

Ms. Speaker, I rise today in support of this short-term continuing resolution.

While we have made progress in our efforts to finish Fiscal Year 2024 bills, Congress has much more work to do.

More time is needed to negotiate bills both sides can support.

The House and Senate took very different approaches to this year's bills, and finding common ground will not be easy.

But now that the Speaker has negotiated a topline, we can move forward.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of this continuing resolution, H.R. 6363.

Before discussing this CR, I want to explain our process. At the beginning of this Congress, House Republicans said we would change how Washington works. As of today, we have sent 7 appropriations bills to the Senate, totaling roughly 75% of government funding. The Senate has passed 3 of its bills, totaling 17%.

Thank you, Chairman Cole, Ranking Member McGovern, and Members of the Committee for the opportunity to appear before you today.
