Gregorio Sablan: “There can be no doubt that renewing the financial provisions of the Compact is essential to our nation's security…”

Thus, we come here under Chairman Westerman's leadership to regroup and confront together the PRC's threat to the freedom of the blue continent that stretches across the Indo-Pacific region.

I explained the path we are forging to fiscal, economic, and social stability in the Commonwealth.

I want to commend Chairman Westerman and Ranking Member Grijalva for creating this Indo-Pacific Task Force to provide for a bipartisan process.

We cannot keep operating like this. So, I look forward to working with my colleagues here in Congress.
