I rise as the designee of the gentleman from New York (Mr. Jeffries) and have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 223, line 22, after the dollar…

I appreciate the gentleman yielding. I would point out that the chiefs of the Army, Navy, and Air Force and the Commandant of the Marine Corps testified that the inclusive policy adopted under the Obama administration has caused no…

The proposed change inserts a new test for the certification of acquisition and is likely meant to make it more difficult for the NSA to target foreign nationals if the intended target is in communication with someone in the United States…

I thank the gentleman from Florida for raising this important issue. The committee recognizes the urgent need to invest in trusted foundries, advanced microelectronics cybersecurity, and manufacturing capabilities that will translate our…

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. I commend the gentlewoman for her work with the committee to make all of us aware of the lack of support that our veterans are facing on the space-available flights. I am happy to report that, because…

I appreciate the gentleman yielding again. I think the gentleman is doing good work here. The gentleman is correct that there was an increase of $2 million from $85 million from last year's fiscal year in our bill; however, it was a $12…

I appreciate the gentlewoman yielding me time and simply would suggest that the committee has no opposition to the amendment. I would point out that, again, she struck a chord with me when she talked about the supply chain problems we have…

As the designee of the gentleman from Texas, 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 223, line 22, after the dollar amount, insert ``(reduced…

I appreciate the gentleman in this regard, and I share his concerns. I would simply point out for the Record that, in the committee's markup, we have increased funding for this, before the gentleman's amendment, by 24 percent over last…

I appreciate the gentleman yielding. I appreciate the perspective of the gentlewoman as well, and I would point out that, during the day today, I have risen in opposition to two different nuclear policy issues that would increase spending…

I, again, strongly oppose the gentleman's amendment. This amendment would provide funding for the deployment of the ill-conceived low-yield nuclear warhead on Ohio-class ballistic missile submarines. I believe that deploying this warhead…

I appreciate the gentleman for yielding, and I appreciate the gentleman for offering the amendment. The operative word here is ``bypass.'' The administration has used an obscure, rarely used provision to skirt congressional review of arms…

I would like to begin by expressing my appreciation, as I discuss the defense portion of this bill, to my ranking member, Mr. Calvert. He has made it easy to continue the collegiality, transparency, and bipartisanship that is a hallmark of…

I withdraw my reservation of a point of order. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The reservation of a point of order is withdrawn. Ms. DeLAURO. Madam Speaker, I rise in opposition to this motion to recommit. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman…

Today as outlined in the 2018 National Defense Strategy, nations like China and Russia are attempting to do just that, to stem the tide that has steadily lifted all boats by unilaterally redefining international norms on terms more…

The idea of using OCO spending for base requirements is a thinly veiled attempt to skirt budget caps.

I am very uncomfortable with U.S. military deploying to our southern border, very, very--that is a slippery slope.

I do not want to wait until fiscal year 2021 to work down that list of over 8,000 marines and sailors who are desperate for daycare.

We owe it to our servicemembers and their families to put forth serious spending proposals.

Defending our elections. What is United States CYBERCOM's number one priority? Defending our elections.
