I have been among the biggest critics of the Tehran regime in Congress.

It does not mean we give the Saudis a blank check. It does not mean that we look the other way when they drop bombs on children in school buses.

It is not an excuse to cut Congress out of the picture. It is not an excuse to say we know better and, therefore, Congress is superfluous or irrelevant.

I don't have any speakers on this side. I reserve the balance of my time. Mr. McCAUL. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Bilirakis).

That day made clear that China's Communist Party intended to hang on to power at any cost and to suppress dissent violently if necessary.

I am pleased to cosponsor the CHIME Act, a bipartisan measure which would provide 5-year reauthorization to increase funding.

Together, they deliver high-quality care to nearly half a million of my constituents.

We thank Representatives Sherrill and Upton for continuing this bipartisan commitment to F2Fs so we can help families secure timely, high quality, and family-centered care for their children and youth.

The Special Diabetes Program for Indians is an incredibly important program and has been successful in lowering rates of diabetes across Indian country.

These cuts will place an incredible strain on hospitals that are already struggling to provide care to children with complex medical needs, low-income Americans, and rural communities.

I am pleased to see that the LIFT America Act will make robust investments in this area.

I am pleased to be an original sponsor of the LIFT America Act, which does include $2 billion to modernize hospitals, and it marks an important first step, but considerably more funding obviously is necessary to address the dire state of…

Turkey is an appreciated, strategically important NATO ally. Its decision to buy the Russian S-400 missile system is troubling.
