Mr. Speaker, we are fiddling while freedom burns. We have 5 legislative days left to aid our allies, Israel and Ukraine. Each hour we wait makes it harder for our allies to defend freedom and democracy against tyrants and terrorists. OMB Director Shalanda Young made it clear this week that the past resources we secured for Ukraine have run out. As Speaker Johnson said in Florida, Putin won't stop in Ukraine. He will continue to devour territory and undermine democracy until he is stopped. My Republican colleagues ask what the plan is in Ukraine and Israel. The plan is to win. The plan is to defeat Putin. The plan is to vanquish terrorism generally and Hamas in particular. Most Members agree on that plan--300 on Ukraine and 400 on Israel. I urge the Speaker to give us the opportunity to act on that consensus now. Freedom demands it. ____________________

That was a program, of course, George H. W. Bush and succeeding, Republicans and Democrats have thought that was a program that worked well.
Mr. Chairman, I yield to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Cartwright), who is the distinguished ranking member of the Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Subcommittee.
