                         FIGHT TO PASS THE NDAA

  (Mr. COLLINS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. COLLINS. Mr. Speaker, we worked a little late last night. We 
voted to get rid of this leftwing socialistic woke agenda that has not 
only been crammed down the throats of the American people but crammed 
down the throats of our military.
  That is right. We got rid of DEI and CRT. It is gone. Now we can get 
back to protecting the citizens of this country. We also are protecting 
the citizens of the unborn. We got rid of abortions that are paid for 
by taxpayers in our military.
  We did one more thing, Mr. Speaker. We gave those serving a needed 
pay raise and increased their lethality so that they can stay ahead of 
China.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge the House to pass the NDAA today. Hold the line, 
negotiate, and fight for this bill when it comes back from the Senate.
