Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I would just like to take a minute to address one thing out of that entire rant because it is categorically false. The Community Oriented Policing Services, COPS, program maintains a consistent level under this CR. The only variation in levels reflects the removal of previously enacted FY24 community project funding allocations which are separate from the main programming. Claims that the COPS program has been defunded to zero are categorically false. Unlike the Democrats, Republicans remain committed to supporting law enforcement and ensuring public safety. I wanted to address that one thing. Mr. Speaker, I yield such time as he may consume to the gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Norman), my Rules Committee colleague.
