                DELIVERING ON OUR COMMITMENT TO AMERICA

  (Mr. ROSE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ROSE. Mr. Speaker, this week, House Republicans are continuing to 
deliver on our commitment to America--a Nation that is safe--by 
providing the Department of Defense with the facilities it needs to 
protect us from foreign adversaries.
  One of the bills we will consider is the fiscal year 2024 Military 
Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies appropriations 
bill that funds the Department of Defense facilities and veterans' 
healthcare programs.
  We don't stop there. This bill prohibits the use of funds to promote 
or advance the destructive critical race theory and prohibits the Biden 
administration's executive orders on diversity, equity, and inclusion.
  There is more work to be done to get our military back to the world's 
elite fighting force focused on combating adversaries. By taking these 
small steps to eliminate fraud, waste, abuse, and unnecessary programs, 
we are taking the right first steps.
