Well, America, you just heard a ridiculous straw-man choice laid out in front of you. Mr. Speaker, this is not about anything other than selling and financing aircraft sales to Iran. That is what this bill is about. This is what this bill should be about. I will point out to my colleague that there are some pretty major kinetic activities--I believe they are called at this point, which means shooting war--happening in Mosul and other places where our troops are involved. But at the end of the day, Mr. Speaker, I want to encourage my colleagues to vote ``no'' on this motion to recommit. I look forward to working with colleagues on both sides of the aisle to address concerns that we may have with other foreign governments in the future, and I would request that they vote for the underlying bill, H.R. 5711. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the previous question is ordered on the motion to recommit. There was no objection.
