Mr. Speaker, this week I am proud to have introduced the Civil Nuclear Export Act along with my colleague, Congressman Jim Clyburn of South Carolina. Our bill will boost U.S. competitiveness in the global civil nuclear exports market and bolster U.S. national security. As Russia and China aim to corner the market and exert their influence around the world by financing nuclear projects, this legislation could not be more timely. That situation is intensifying rapidly, and it is time for the U.S. to step up. The Civil Nuclear Export Act would reduce other countries' dependence on Russia and China for technology and financing. This would be a win for our national security, a win for economic growth and more jobs, and a vital step toward a more sustainable energy future. Hurricane Helene Relief
