In closing, this is a day we are going to act. I urge all my colleagues to support these critical national security bills. They provide the resources necessary to bolster our military, reassure our allies and partners, and commit to stand…
I think, so far, in all three programs, we have been spending about $3.5 billion a year to get to a hypersonic missile, and we have yet to get there on any of the programs.

It has been my privilege to lead this Special Order for the last hour to say good-bye to our friend from the floor but not from our lives. He will be around. Finally, I will requote our friend from Bakersfield, California, Merle Haggard…
I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Florida will be postponed. The Chair understands that amendment No. 162 will not be offered…
