Mr. President, there is a very good chance that there will be good news this weekend for America's security, for European peace, and for a signal to be sent for strength and success for the alliance of free nations. Yesterday afternoon, the Speaker of the House said that Congress will soon send a very important message. And, yes, it is correct; the House will send an important message. In the next few days, I believe Congress will remind the tyrants of the world and the free people of the world that America stands strong and that America keeps its word. I commend Speaker Johnson for doing the difficult thing but the right thing. He followed the admonition actually of the Apostle Paul.

At the very least, President Biden's drip-drip- drip approach has failed to douse the flames on the international fire. And make no mistake.
