This administration has held fast the position that national security concerns remain sacrosanct and out of bounds for multilateral body to consider.

This bill requires our arms sales process to grow.

I am grateful to my many colleagues who have co-sponsored this legislation.

Chairman Smith, I hope that the members who were listening will apply all of the comments I made before my amendment was read to my amendment.

I urge my colleagues to vote yes on this bill and I yield back.

As a member of JCDC, Tenable, would you agree that JCDC would benefit from a formalized structure and accountability?

I am so glad we are addressing it legislatively here today.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have an amendment at the desk.

This Administration has found a way, has seen fit to have a special envoy for climate change.

This bill will fix that deadly mistake.

I must oppose this bill and encourage my colleagues to do the same.

I call on the government of Nigeria to prioritize efforts to prevent conflict before it starts and address it when it arises including by ensuring that freedom of religion is both recognized and respected.

The Administration has turned a blind eye to the crisis.

It is extremely rare to see legislative efforts that seek to reduce the oversight power of our chamber and our committee over matters of national security, but this, unfortunately, is one of those efforts.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and thanks for being with us today and sharing your expertise.
