That resolution reaffirms the United States commitment to Israel's security. The bill we are considering today delivers on that commitment. This legislation contains 14.3 billion for Israel. As chairman of the House Appropriations Defense Subcommittee, I strongly support the bill's robust funding, which includes 4 billion for the Iron Dome and David Sling missile defense systems, 1.2 billion for the Iron beam defense system, which is promising new technology which will, I think, have be both helpful to Israel and the United States. 800 million for production of 155 millimeter rounds, which we need to get our supply chain rolling again.
