On the recordMay 3, 2017
We provide additional funds to support the healthcare needs of our military personnel and their families, including medical research programs. We provide additional funds requested by the President for a reinvigorated strategy to defeat ISIS and other terrorist groups. I urge the House to support Secretary Mattis by giving him this long overdue funding. We cannot turn our backs on our troops by forcing them to work under a continuing resolution. To paraphrase the Chief of Staff of the Air Force, there is no enemy that can do more damage to our military than a full-year continuing resolution. Our military is counting on us to pass this bill now. It is the only way to ensure the United States will be strong and able to lead in this very dangerous world. Mr. Speaker, I strongly urge a ``yes'' vote.
