                       AID FOR ISRAEL AND UKRAINE

  (Mr. HOYER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HOYER. Mr. Speaker, we are fiddling while freedom burns. We have 
5 legislative days left to aid our allies, Israel and Ukraine.
  Each hour we wait makes it harder for our allies to defend freedom 
and democracy against tyrants and terrorists.
  OMB Director Shalanda Young made it clear this week that the past 
resources we secured for Ukraine have run out.
  As Speaker Johnson said in Florida, Putin won't stop in Ukraine. He 
will continue to devour territory and undermine democracy until he is 
stopped.
  My Republican colleagues ask what the plan is in Ukraine and Israel. 
The plan is to win. The plan is to defeat Putin. The plan is to 
vanquish terrorism generally and Hamas in particular.
  Most Members agree on that plan--300 on Ukraine and 400 on Israel. I 
urge the Speaker to give us the opportunity to act on that consensus 
now. Freedom demands it.
