I thank the gentleman for yielding, and I am proud to support the amendment offered by Representatives Schneider, Meadows, Torres, and Sinema. Mr. Chair, it is imperative that our Intelligence, Armed Services, and Foreign Affairs Committees with oversight of Iran's role in Syria and Lebanon stay informed of proxy forces operating there and the strategic threat posed to Israel, our other allies, and our Nation's interests in the region.

I thank my colleagues for offering the amendment. I appreciate Mr. Schneider's leadership on this issue, and I urge the House to support it.
