CHARLES W. DENT

I just don't have a whole lot of confidence that the U.N. is going to be an effective partner with us at this point.

You think those snap-back sanctions will be effective without our international partners?

But that is the complaint I heard in the field from our people out there, that there is money available, but we can simply not move it to where it could be most beneficially spent.

I would rather be able to give you more flexibility to move money where it is needed rather than trying to appropriate additional funds that may not be necessary in every case.

I have serious concerns about the State Department's decision to reduce by half the funding for the Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange Program.

These cease-fires will last as long as Vladimir Putin wants them to last.

I believe the West has been humiliated.

America leads the world in this area, and so it is appropriate that we have a strategy and a target and a goal and the ability to report on what we are doing.

We cannot allow others to pervert international systems to attack Israel.

Do you see this as a big problem, this lack of flexibility to move money between accounts in some of these countries?

What can be done at the U.N. to help provide some assistance to the people of Ukraine right now, again, outside the Security Council?

The U.N. Security Council has demanded that the Government of Syria and opposition groups allow humanitarian aid to be delivered.

Economic policy is foreign policy, or good economic foreign policy assists foreign policy.

The administration has maintained a posture of inaction allowing these jurisdictions to continue this practice unchecked.

Several jurisdictions continue to ignore ICE detainers, releasing potentially dangerous criminal aliens into local communities.

I just want to say one more thing. You know, the President has said that this red line that was crossed was not his red line, but the international community's red line. Ninety-eight percent of the world has opposed chemical weapons use…

I now yield to the gentleman from North Carolina (Mr. McIntyre). Mr. McINTYRE. Mr. Chairman, when you talk about helping with education, when you talk about helping food banks, and when you talk about helping our military families, it…

I reserve a point of order on the gentleman's amendment. The Acting CHAIR. A point of order is reserved. The gentleman from Virginia is recognized for 5 minutes.

Again, I thank the gentlelady for raising this issue. Clearly she has some personal experience flying these aircraft, and I'm grateful for her service.

I appreciate the gentlelady bringing the IG report to our attention. As Ranking Member Price can attest, the committee has a long, bipartisan history supporting robust funding for the H-60 conversions. In fact, the bill includes funds…

The FEMA first responder grants, including fire grants, will receive a 20 percent increase. Further, these SAFER grants will continue to provide additional flexibility to allow communities to use grants to retain or rehire firefighters…

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Pennsylvania will be postponed. Amendment No. 3 Offered by Mr. Holt The Acting CHAIR. It is…

At this time, I would like to yield 1 minute to my colleague from New York (Mr. Higgins). {time} 1030

The public doesn't trust us when we say the border's operationally secured.

I think many of these communities really want to maximize the number of people who are getting Section 8.
