This amendment reduces the amount of economic support funding from $2.9 billion to $1.8 billion. Like a few of my colleagues on this side of the aisle have said this week, this is a necessary haircut to a program that has ballooned…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 35, line 1, after the dollar amount, insert ``(reduced by $1,161,119,000)''. Page 296, line 17, after…

Let me just tell you what I think is damaging to our leadership: having our allies see us pay with our hard-earned tax dollars for their adversaries to promote violence toward them. I think that is damaging. If I were those allies, I would…

Again, we all want to do what we can, but we shouldn't be borrowing money from China, our number one adversary. We are borrowing it from them allegedly to counter them, and, oh, by the way, while we are borrowing it from them to counter…

I have an amendment at the desk as the designee of the gentleman from Arizona (Mr. Biggs). The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 25, line 21, after the dollar amount, insert…

Let me say from the outset that I certainly appreciate that the bill's drafters prohibit assessed contributions to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, also known as UNRWA. Now, that is a nice-sounding name. Unfortunately, what the…

This amendment cuts migration and refugee assistance funding from $2.5 billion to $0. This money, the $2.5 billion, goes toward refugee programs around the world, including for shelter, healthcare, and sanitation. Again, we all want to do…

I am glad that the gentlewoman mentioned people of faith and their care for people, not only in their community but around the globe. It is awesome. In the church that I attend, that is exactly what we do, and that is exactly what we…

I agree with the gentlewoman from the other side of the aisle. We should be countering China. If we are going to use USAID to do that, well, that is all well and good, too, but let's enumerate how we are actually going to use this money to…

Oversight. I am sure there is always oversight. There is going to be oversight again with this bill and the next bill and with the authorization, the State Department authorization. The oversight and accountability haven't gleaned any…

Like I said, every single one of us wants to help. Every single one of our hearts breaks for people who are forcibly displaced. I would say, as well, that I question the numbers of forcibly displaced. There are people in this country…

This is really a national security issue, and it is a food security issue.

I hope many of our colleagues agree, the Chinese government and other U.S. adversaries should own zero, zero agricultural land in our country.

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from Pennsylvania will be postponed. Amendment No. 48 Offered by Mr. Luttrell The Acting CHAIR…
