Madam Speaker, in recent weeks, Speaker of the House Paul Davis Ryan has presented the A Better Way agenda on how to build a more confident America. I am grateful for the Speaker promoting A Better Way to defend America's families and create jobs. Recent terrorist attacks at home and overseas confirm what House Republicans have warned about for years--that the current foreign policy is failing. To promote peace through strength to protect American families, we need a real plan, one that protects the homeland, defeats terrorism, tackles new threats, and defends freedom around the world. As the chairman of the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities, I am grateful that A Better Way emphasizes the importance of combating new threats. Each element of A Better Way presents real solutions for the biggest problems facing our Nation. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and may the President, by his actions, never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. Congratulations Prime Minister Theresa May for your success for the citizens of the United Kingdom. ____________________
