Mr. Speaker, we also include a new 2-year authority to counter irregular warfare and unconventional threats, such as those being posed by Russia and other adversaries. Before I conclude, I would like to thank Chairman Mac Thornberry for his leadership, as well as my subcommittee ranking member, Jim Langevin, from Rhode Island, for his consistent bipartisan leadership on all of these issues. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this bill and to vote ``yes'' on the conference report.
