Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of H.R. 708, the SHIELD Against CCP Act. The Chinese Communist Party continues to increasingly threaten the security of our homeland. We must begin to come up with serious solutions to this serious problem, and this bill is an important start. This bill would require that DHS establish a working group to take the important step of appropriately addressing and countering these threats. I commend my colleague, the gentleman from Alabama (Mr. Strong), for his important work on this measure and on this subject. Mr. Speaker, we must alter our posture to appropriately address the threat posed by the CCP to our homeland. This is not optional. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
