The legislation before us today, Mr. Speaker, implements a clear eyed and unapologetic approach to our security and diplomacy efforts. It leaves no doubt about our nation's posture. America will not be passive or simply write blank checks. Every investment we make must advance U.S. interests, strengthen our strategic position and deliver measurable results to the American people. We are putting our values into action by upholding freedom, promoting economic opportunity, supporting religious liberty, and safeguarding protections that uphold life. This approach marks a necessary course correction. (00:55–01:06)
