Again, I urge adoption of my amendment. This is straightforward and fair. This is sending a message to the Biden administration and to Secretary Blinken: Close our border, support our ally, and stand for America first. Madam Chair, I yield…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the following: Sec. __. None of the funds made…

This is an important issue. We are going to talk about RIMPAC for a moment. It has direct impact on Taiwan and also the United States of America, our beloved country. RIMPAC, Rim of the Pacific, is the world's largest international…

Increased scrutiny of these companies is a national security imperative, and delisting these companies, these Chinese military companies, cooperators in genocide, and proponents of the PLA's military modernization, must be an absolute…

Keep in mind that China is a country that steals hundreds of billions of dollars' worth of U.S. intellectual property every year. They commit espionage against the United States on an unparalleled scale every year. They are doing the bare…

In the fiscal year 2021 NDAA, Congress included a fourth precondition stopping the ongoing genocide against the Uyghurs. We have already seen President Biden placate China in more ways than one, in addition to the unilateral delisting of…

This amendment is necessitated by the fact that, at every opportunity, our President has chosen to placate rather than punish China. Appeasement has long been a failed strategy, and it continues to fail us today. Last year, Joe Biden…

The section 1260H was established by the fiscal year 2021 NDAA to blacklist Chinese companies with close ties to the People's Liberation Army as well as other companies, so-called civil-military fusion contributors. The FY 2023 NDAA went…

I pose the question: If the substance of the memo is already stated in law, then why do we need the memo? The answer is substantive and it is clear: It is political. This functionally useless memo, replete with unnecessarily vague language…

National Security Memorandum 20 represents a betrayal of our closest ally in the Middle East. Both President Biden and Secretary Blinken developed this memorandum to placate the terrorist sympathizers, quite frankly, within the Democratic…

The NSM contains language that says recipient countries can't arbitrarily deny, restrict, or otherwise impede U.S.- supported humanitarian assistance. What exactly is U.S.-supported humanitarian assistance? If a national security reason…

My amendment prohibits the Secretary from requiring individuals to wear masks to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Mr. Chair, this may seem like an old argument, but when we see the testimony of Fauci talking about how much of the…

Environmental justice is a concept closely intertwined with DEI principles. Rather than seeking to use Federal resources to mitigate environmental harms as effectively and efficiently as possible, advocates of environmental justice want…

I appreciate my colleague for her sentiment, but I would argue that this bill needlessly allows for the Secretary to infringe on the medical relationship between an individual and their doctor. It needlessly forces someone to wear a mask…

Following Hamas' brutal attack on October 7, this administration said all the right things. Joe Biden said he was ready to offer all appropriate means to support the government and the people of Israel. The Acting U.S. Ambassador to Israel…

Executive Order No. 14019, allegedly promoting access to voting, is an effort to divert Federal resources to partisan politics. This dangerous executive order instructs a wide range of agencies, including the Department of Health and Human…

If this administration supported Israel as much as it has worked to preserve Hamas, this war would be over. Of course, it doesn't. Rather than signal its support for Hamas' extermination and Israel's right to defend itself, Joe Biden now…

We all understand the importance of maintaining the American people's faith in our elections. We understand that voting and access to the ballot box is important. My colleague spoke to the idea of outside influence, and that is exactly…

Serious? I think this is serious. Actions have consequences. Inaction should also have consequences. A 12-year-old girl, intending to connect with her 13-year-old boyfriend, instead was intercepted by two drunk illegals. They took her…
