I want to say that all we are doing is giving the Appropriations Committee the flexibility to do this. We are going to spend over $700 billion on defense for people fighting for our democracy. We can spend a tiny, tiny fraction of that to make sure that American citizens understand what they are fighting for. This is a really important thing. By the way, it is never an attack on teachers. Every teacher I have talked to would like more resources so they can do their job more effectively. Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Beyer). The amendment was agreed to. Amendment No. 45 Offered by Mr. Brown of Maryland The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 45 printed in part B of House Report 116-16.
