Thank you. Mr. Speaker. I rise today with deep, deep reservations about the provisions in this bill funding the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, a program that's been in place since 2016. To date, the United States has given $113 billion in security and humanitarian aid to the Ukraine for their war against Russia. I acknowledge the fact that this is an illegal war and Vladimir Putin should be punished. However, I am not happy with the level of visibility that we have given to this funding. (00:18–00:28)
