                   ENDANGERING OUR NATION'S SECURITY

  (Mr. HARRIS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HARRIS. Madam Speaker, one of the greatest threats to our 
national security is a woke military.
  Nothing exemplifies a woke military as much as the National Defense 
Authorization Act that is going to come before this body out of a 
Conference Report that allows transgender surgery to continue to be 
funded in the U.S. military.
  I can guarantee you that Russia and China aren't using their military 
dollars to pay for transgender surgery.
  Here in the United States, we are, and we will. If this House and the 
Senate passes the Conference Report, that will be the official U.S. 
policy.
  Madam Speaker, that is not defense of the Nation. That is a woke 
military that endangers our Nation's security.
