William M. ``Mac'' Thornberry: “I have no further speakers on this en bloc amendment, and I reserve the balance of my time.”

I believe that we have to be clear-eyed about the threat that emanates from North Korea, not only against us, but our allies.

I am pleased to yield 2 minutes to the distinguished gentlewoman from Missouri (Mrs. Hartzler).

If China is indeed the pacing threat, then part of the responsibility of this committee is think about the personnel and equipment and training that is needed.

I have no further requests for this en bloc package. I urge its support, and I yield back the balance of my time.
