I have appreciated the important advocacy my colleagues on both sides
have brought forward through this process, from within the
subcommittees of the Appropriations Committee, through the full
committee, through the Rules Committee, and now, here on the House
floor. The measures included in this rule will provide vital resources for
our national defense and for our military infrastructure. As I said, it
will boost the pay of our troops, support our military families who
sacrifice so much for our country; it will strengthen the care we
provide for our veterans and enforce our border security to protect all
of the American people. This rule will also allow for further security improvements for the
Capitol campus to protect all who visit here. It will also provide
robust funding to improve our Nation's waterways, our infrastructure,
our important nuclear clean-up, as well as nonproliferation efforts.
