“Today, the House voted to advance vital national security interests of the United States. We replenished our own defense stockpiles and bolstered our deterrence capabilities with respect to China, while providing crucial security assistance for our ally Israel as it faces unprecedented threats.

This Administration has lacked a clear strategy, with far too little accountability for the expenditure of our taxpayers’ dollars. By passing H.R 8038, we have tailored our continued support to stopping Russian aggression, promoting stability in the region, and advancing American national security interests,” said Rep. Kiley.
