                EMERGENCY FUNDING AND MILITARY PROJECTS

  (Mrs. KIRKPATRICK asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. KIRKPATRICK. Madam Speaker, the Department of Defense published 
a report revealing the dire impacts of the President's unlawful 
emergency declaration. It threatens to steal nearly $150 million of 
urgently needed Arizona military construction funds critical to the 
security of our Nation and the well-being of our men and women in 
uniform and military families.
  Both military bases within my district, Fort Huachuca and Davis-
Monthan Air Force Base, are on the list that could be directly affected 
by these cuts, and I am here today to say, no way.
  I represent a border district in southern Arizona, and we don't want 
the expensive, ineffective wall. We want our military bases funded.
  Madam Speaker, 59 percent of Americans reject this emergency 
declaration. I will continue to take action to block this brutal 
decision and fight to protect Arizonans from the drastic consequences 
of this dangerous, unlawful declaration.
