On the recordMarch 21, 2024
Again, I would just restate for the Members that we are talking about countries of concern--China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. When we consider that China and the CCP have been flying spy balloons, bribing our servicemembers, poisoning our communities with fentanyl, and the malign activities that they are engaging in around the globe, why would we submit ourselves and our greatest natural resources? To me it is just common sense. When we are funding projects, when we are developing the future of our country, why would we further our dependence on our adversaries? Mr. Chair, just in closing, I would ask our colleagues to vote ``yes,'' and I yield back the balance of my time.
