I am prepared to close, and I reserve the balance of my time. Mr. McADAMS. Mr. Speaker, explosive nuclear testing is not necessary to ensure that our stockpile remains safe, and nothing in this amendment would change that. Explosive nuclear testing causes irreparable harm to human health and our environment and jeopardizes the U.S. leadership role on nuclear nonproliferation. Mr. Speaker, I urge the adoption of my amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time.

I have no further speakers at this time, and I reserve the balance of my time.
I am pleased to yield 2 minutes to the distinguished gentlewoman from Missouri (Mrs. Hartzler).
I support the National Defense Strategy. I completely agree--and I think it makes sense to put greater emphasis on great power competition.
I think that ought to alarm all of us who care about this institution and care about our ability to work together on behalf of the country's national security.
