                 REPUBLICAN RECORD ON NATIONAL SECURITY

  (Ms. PRYCE of Ohio asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. PRYCE of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, as Members of Congress, our first 
responsibility is to protect our country from all of those who wish to 
harm us. House Republicans have built a record of action on national 
security issues, supporting our military, providing for a strong 
national defense, and aggressively prosecuting the war on terror.
  The PATRIOT Act that the President signed last week will give our law 
enforcement personnel the tools that they really need to continue to 
keep our Nation safe from terrorist threats. This week, we will take up 
another very important national security bill, the supplemental 
appropriations bill to fund the war on terror.
  This bill provides for essential tools for our troops, such as 
armored Humvees and tracking vehicles, training for Iraqi and Afghani 
security forces, and it has increased oversight of war expenditures to 
ensure that taxpayers' dollars are spent wisely.
  House Republicans remain committed to giving our troops the resources 
they need and funding, fighting, and winning the war on terror. We will 
continue to meet our obligation to defend our Nation from every threat, 
at home and abroad.
