     under the heading ``Department of Health and Human Services--

     house unaccompanied alien children (as such term is defined 
     in section 462(g)(2) of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (6 
     U.S.C. 279(g)(2))) in any facility that is not State-licensed 
     for the care of unaccompanied alien children, except in the 
     case that the Secretary determines that housing unaccompanied 
     alien children in such a facility is necessary on a temporary 
     basis due to an influx of such children or an emergency, 
     provided that--
       (1) the terms of the grant or contract for the operations 
     of any such facility that remains in operation for more than 
     six consecutive months shall require compliance with--

       (2) the Secretary may grant a 60-day waiver for a 
     contractor's or grantee's non-compliance with paragraph (1) 
     if the Secretary certifies and provides a report to Congress 
     on the contractor's or grantee's good-faith efforts and 
     progress towards compliance;
       (3) not more than four consecutive waivers under paragraph 
     (2) may be granted to a contractor or grantee with respect to 
     a specific facility;
       (4) ORR shall ensure full adherence to the monitoring 
     requirements set forth in section 5.5 of its Policies and 
     Procedures Guide as of May 15, 2019;

     than three consecutive months, ORR shall conduct a minimum of 
     one comprehensive monitoring visit during the first three 
     months of operation, with quarterly monitoring visits 
     thereafter; and
       (6) not later than 60 days after the date of enactment of 
     this Act, ORR shall brief the Committees on Appropriations of 
     the House of Representatives and the Senate outlining the 
     requirements of ORR for influx facilities including any 
     requirement listed in paragraph (1)(A) that the Secretary has 
     determined are not applicable to non-State licensed 
     facilities.
       Sec. 232.  In addition to the existing Congressional 
     notification for formal site assessments of potential influx 
     facilities, the Secretary shall notify the Committees on 
     Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate 
     at least 15 days before operationalizing an unlicensed 
     facility, and shall (1) specify whether the facility is hard-
     sided or soft-sided, and (2) provide analysis that indicates 
     that, in the absence of the influx facility, the likely 
     outcome is that unaccompanied alien children will remain in 
     the custody of the Department of Homeland Security for longer 
     than 72 hours or that unaccompanied alien children will be 
     otherwise placed in danger. Within 60 days of bringing such a 
     facility online, and monthly thereafter, the Secretary shall 
     provide to the Committees on Appropriations of the House of 
     Representatives and the Senate a report detailing the total 
     number of children in care at the facility, the average 
     length of stay and average length of care of children at the 
     facility, and, for any child that has been at the facility 
     for more than 60 days, their length of stay and reason for 
     delay in release.
       Sec. 233.  None of the funds made available in this Act may 
     be used to prevent a United States Senator or Member of the 
     House of Representatives from entering, for the purpose of 
     conducting oversight, any facility in the United States used 
     for the purpose of maintaining custody of, or otherwise 
     housing, unaccompanied alien children (as defined in section 
     462(g)(2) of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (6 U.S.C. 
     279(g)(2))), provided that such Senator or Member has 
     coordinated the oversight visit with the Office of Refugee 
     Resettlement not less than two business days in advance to 
     ensure that such visit would not interfere with the 
     operations (including child welfare and child safety 
     operations) of such facility.
       Sec. 234.  Not later than 14 days after the date of 
     enactment of this Act, and monthly thereafter, the Secretary 
     shall submit to the Committees on Appropriations of the House 
     of Representatives and the Senate, and make publicly 
     available online, a report with respect to children who were 
     separated from their parents or legal guardians by the 
     Department of Homeland Security (DHS) (regardless of whether 
     or not such separation was pursuant to an option selected by 
     the children, parents, or guardians), subsequently classified 
     as unaccompanied alien children, and transferred to the care 
     and custody of ORR during the previous month. Each report 
     shall contain the following information:
       (1) the number and ages of children so separated subsequent 
     to apprehension at or between ports of entry, to be reported 
     by sector where separation occurred; and

     Defense and Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education 
     Appropriations Act, 2019 and Continuing Appropriations Act, 
     2019 (42 U.S.C. 247d-4a) is amended by striking the fifth,

     manner.
       (e) Determinations.--
       (1) In general.--The provisions of this section shall not 
     apply to any foreign government or entity that assesses such

     arrangement that is providing substantial reimbursement of 
     such taxes; or

     Government of the United States and the government of the 
     country receiving assistance that describes the privileges 
     and immunities applicable to United States foreign assistance

     between the Government of the United States and such 
     government that describes, among other things, the treatment 
     for tax purposes that will be accorded the United States 
     assistance provided under that agreement.

     provision of this or any other Act:  Provided, That any such 
     reprogramming shall be subject to the regular notification 
     procedures of the Committees on Appropriations:  Provided

     Agency for International Development that are specifically 
     designated for particular programs or activities by this or 
     any other Act may be extended for an additional fiscal year 
     if the Secretary of State or the USAID Administrator, as 
     appropriate, determines and reports promptly to the 
     Committees on Appropriations that the termination of 
     assistance to a country or a significant change in 
     circumstances makes it unlikely that such designated funds 
     can be obligated during the original period of availability:  
     Provided, That such designated funds that continue to be 
     available for an additional fiscal year shall be obligated 
     only for the purpose of such designation.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mrs. Kim of California). Pursuant to the 
rule, the gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. Granger) and the gentlewoman from 
Connecticut (Ms. DeLauro) each will control 20 minutes.
  Mr. ROY. Madam Speaker, I claim the time in actual opposition.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is the gentlewoman from Connecticut opposed 
to the motion?
  Ms. DeLAURO. Madam Speaker, I am not opposed.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. As such, the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Roy) 
will control 20 minutes in opposition.
  The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. Granger).
  Ms. GRANGER. Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of the 
appropriations package. I thank all the Members and staff who were 
involved in this process. We looked hard at our needs and developed a 
package to carry us through the process.
  Two weeks ago, I talked about the changes House Republicans made 
regarding how we fund the government.

[[Page H1480]]

We made targeted cuts to wasteful programs and developed a package that 
is proof of that.
  We looked at each need, and it was clear that the world is becoming a 
more dangerous place. We made changes and decided on efforts that 
include countering China, developing next-generation weapons, and 
investing in the quality of life of our servicemembers.
  I am proud to say that this bill strengthens our national security 
and funds critical defense efforts. This package also includes other 
key priorities. It continues our strong support of Israel, combats the 
flow of illegal drugs, and fully funds medical research for cancer and 
chronic diseases.
  Against all odds, House Republicans refocused spending on America's 
most crucial needs at home and abroad. I urge my colleagues to support 
this bill, and I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. ROY. Madam Speaker, here we are again. The swamp is back in full 
force. We have a 1,000-page bill of $1.2 trillion filled with all 
manner of spending priorities that are at odds with the American 
people. That is what we have in front of us.
  This bill is over 1,000 pages long. It contains hundreds of pages of 
report language, 1,400 earmarks, and we have had about 24 hours to 
review it. That is not the way to do business. The American people and 
American families are the ones left holding the bag. This is business 
as usual in the swamp.
  Here is the deal to my Republican colleagues: You will own every 
single bit of this. If you vote for this bill, you own it. DHS funding 
contingent on signing H.R. 2 into law, that is what we did last year to 
make sure our border will be secure. That is punted, so you own it.
  Defunding Alejandro Mayorkas. We did that in our bill. This punts 
that. It is no longer there. You own it.
  Prohibiting mass parole and release of illegal aliens via the CBP One 
app. We did that in our bill last year. This bill gets rid of it. You 
own it. You own the continued mass parole of illegal aliens into our 
country. You own that. That is the truth.
  It was mass parole that led to a Venezuelan gang member coming into 
the United States and killing Laken Riley. My Republican colleagues 
cannot go campaign against mass parole and use the name of Laken Riley 
because you pass a bill in her name when you fund the very policies 
that led to her death.

                              {time}  1015

  I hear all this, that we are going to increase ICE beds, and we are 
going to increase the numbers for Border Patrol.
  The increased numbers for Border Patrol will process more illegal 
aliens. The increased number of beds for ICE will not be used because 
there are memos in place by Alejandro Mayorkas, whom we impeached and 
whom this bill will fund. Those ICE beds will not be filled. They won't 
be used, and we know it.
  We set out to prohibit DHS from fast-tracking asylum. This bill 
doesn't do that.
  We set out to make sure that this border would be secure and that you 
could end what happened yesterday in Texas where 100 illegal aliens 
bum-rushed our border, rolled over the Texas National Guard, fled into 
this country, and went to Border Patrol to get released into the United 
States.
  That is what this bill continues to fund. Any of my Republican 
colleagues who want to spend this year campaigning against open 
borders, it is a laugh because today, if you vote for this abomination 
of a bill, you will be voting to fund it. You will be voting to fund 
the very policies that you will campaign against.
  Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.


                             General Leave

  Ms. GRANGER. Madam Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members 
may have 5 legislative days in which to revise and extend their remarks 
and include extraneous material on the measure under consideration.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentlewoman from Texas?
  There was no objection.
  Ms. GRANGER. Madam Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to yield 10 
minutes of my time to the gentlewoman from Connecticut (Ms. DeLauro), 
and that she be allowed to control the time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentlewoman from Texas?
  There was no objection.
  Ms. DeLAURO. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may 
consume.
  Madam Speaker, I am delighted and relieved to be finally closing out 
fiscal year 2024, and for that, I thank Chairwoman Kay Granger, Chair 
Patty Murray, and Vice Chair Susan Collins.
  I am proud to have made history with such experienced appropriators. 
Madam Speaker, 2024 marks the first time negotiations on government 
funding have been led on all four corners by women.
  I have many others to thank--subcommittee ranking members and chairs 
and staff on both sides of the aisle--and I will be submitting these 
names for the record.
  I strongly support the bipartisan bill, which funds the majority of 
the United States Government.
  This bill sides with the hardworking majority of Americans. It helps 
to lower the cost of living, protects women's rights and access to 
reproductive healthcare, reinforces America's global leadership, and 
helps our communities be safe and secure.
  I am pleased that Democrats and Republicans again united to make 
government work for the people of this country.
  Like the funding bill we passed earlier this month, this legislation 
does not have everything either side may have wanted, but I am 
satisfied that many of the extreme cuts and the policies proposed by 
House Republicans were rejected.
  I am enormously proud that we are providing an increase of $1 billion 
for childcare and Head Start, expanding access to quality and 
affordable childcare for hardworking families.
  We increased title I education funding, protecting 224,000 teachers' 
jobs that House Republicans tried to eliminate.
  I am also pleased that we successfully defeated every one of the 
Republicans' extreme policy riders in the Labor-HHS bill.
  In this package, we prioritize the men and women in our armed 
services and their families by securing pay and allowance increases of 
over 5 percent, the highest increase in decades.
  We invest in global health and support 12,000 special immigrant visas 
for Afghans who assisted the United States.
  Critically, we strengthened our border security.
  I urge swift passage of this package, and I look forward to moving on 
to how we can best serve the American people in fiscal year 2025.
  Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. ROY. Madam Speaker, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentlewoman 
from Florida (Mrs. Luna).
  Mrs. LUNA. Madam Speaker, I rise in opposition to speak against the 
current omnibus that we are seeing hitting the floor today.
  This administration and many people on both sides talk about how they 
want to champion Black and Brown people in this country, and that is a 
direct quote from a recent press release from the Biden administration. 
The fact is that this omnibus, this government being open and allowing 
for open borders, is doing nothing but actually hurting those 
communities.
  What we are seeing right now at the border is a rise in crime. We are 
seeing these very communities being impacted by the rise in gang 
violence. Frankly, it has been disgusting to watch crony capitalists 
push the importation of cheap labor.
  I don't know if anyone has recently witnessed what happened with 
Tyson Farms, but they actually fired Americans to hire immigrant 
workers, a.k.a. illegals. After September 25, 2023, they were probed by 
the Federal Government over the employment of migrant children, who 
likely washed the bloody floors and razor-sharp machines.
  Why would anyone want to continue to fund a government that, A, is 
complicit in this, but, B, is also responsible for losing 85,000 
migrant children?
  The fact is that we cannot continue down this path. It is hurting all 
people. I think if you want to claim to protect minorities, then you 
need to ensure

[[Page H1481]]

that you are putting Americans first and not simply just using that as 
a way to get elected while stabbing Americans in the back and hurting 
our communities.

  Ms. GRANGER. Madam Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from 
California (Mr. Calvert), the chairman of the Subcommittee on Defense.
  Mr. CALVERT. Madam Speaker, I rise today in strong support of the 
negotiated appropriations package.
  Today is zero hour. We are out of time. Today's vote may be the most 
consequential of your lifetime.
  Right now, our troops around the world are facing multiple threats. 
Our supremacy on land, sea, air, and space is being challenged, and our 
allies are under attack.
  I could go through a long list of vital programs and funding included 
in this bill--the wins for our troops, the historic funding for 
innovation and counter-drug activities, and the focus on countering 
China. Time is short, and the stakes have never been higher.
  For the Members who are considering voting against the bill due to 
objections in other titles and are under the impression that if this 
bill fails, we will have another chance to vote for a full-year Defense 
bill, I want to be very clear: This is it.
  Every Member must understand the impact of not passing this package. 
The only other option will be a full-year continuing resolution, which 
will devastate our national security and put our country at risk.
  A CR will cut defense spending by $27 billion and trigger additional 
cuts from sequestration. This is something that has not happened in the 
history of this country and will cut our military off at the knees in 
the midst of the most dangerous period we have seen since World War II.
  A CR maintains policies negotiated by the last Congress, eliminates 
all Member priorities from the bill, and gives the Biden administration 
the freedom to shift appropriations as they see fit.
  Simply put, we will cede all congressional authority and oversight on 
spending to the Biden administration. A CR would be an abdication of 
our responsibility to our military and to this body.
  A ``no'' vote is a vote for China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, and 
Hamas. Vote ``yes'' for our men and women in uniform, for all 
Americans, and for our country.
  Ms. DeLAURO. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
New York (Mr. Jeffries), the distinguished Democratic leader.
  Mr. JEFFRIES. Madam Speaker, I thank the distinguished gentlewoman 
from the great State of Connecticut for yielding, the Honorable Rosa 
DeLauro. I thank her for her extraordinary leadership throughout this 
process and getting us to this principled result.
  I thank all the appropriators for their extraordinary work, on the 
Democratic side and on the Republican side, as part of the effort to 
complete the fiscal year 2024 appropriations.
  This hasn't been a perfect process, but we should never let the 
perfect be the enemy of the good when it comes to solving problems on 
behalf of hardworking American taxpayers.
  This is a good result for the American people in terms of standing up 
for their health, their safety, their education, their national 
security protection, and, of course, above all else, their economic 
well-being, a bipartisan process leading to a bipartisan result that 
will hopefully lay a foundation for us to continue to do the work of 
the American people together.
  We have said from the very beginning of this Congress that, as 
Democrats, we will find bipartisan common ground with our Republican 
colleagues on any issue, whenever and wherever possible, as long as it 
will make life better for the American people. That is exactly what 
House Democrats continue to do.
  At the same time, we have said we will push back against extremism 
whenever necessary.
  We will always defend a woman's freedom to make her own reproductive 
healthcare decisions.
  We will always defend the gorgeous mosaic of the American people and 
push back against unnecessary attacks against diversity, equity, and 
inclusion. These are American values.
  We will always fight to protect and strengthen Social Security and 
Medicare.
  We will always put people over politics.
  We hope that that will continue, not just on the Democratic side but 
together to solve problems for the American people.
  As soon as we complete this work, let us turn to our national 
security priorities and make sure that we don't abandon the people of 
Ukraine in their hour of greatest need as they fight for principles 
like democracy, freedom, and truth, and push back against autocracy, 
tyranny, and propaganda.
  America should always stand on the side of principles like democracy, 
freedom, and truth, and that means standing with the people of Ukraine.
  I thank, once again, the appropriators for their leadership in 
concluding this process. I urge everybody to support this legislation.
  I hope that as we move forward in our promise to you and, more 
importantly, to the American people, who expect that in this Congress 
we should have more common sense and less chaos, more decency and less 
dysfunction, and more exceptionalism and less extremism, our promise to 
you is that we will do our best to put people over politics. We hope 
that you will do the same.
  Vote ``yes'' on this bill.
  Mr. ROY. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Madam Speaker, the Democratic leader talks about the mosaic. I assume 
by the mosaic, which anyone who votes for this bill today will be 
supporting, we are talking about $156,000 for the Hartford Gay and 
Lesbian Health Collective, an organization self-described as champions 
of LGBTQIA equity and provides training in cultural competency and 
access to healthcare for LGBTQ youth, or $2 million to an Oregon clinic 
that provides hormone therapy for kids, or the $850,000 for gay senior 
housing in Massachusetts, or $400,000 for Briarpatch Youth Services in 
Wisconsin that has gender-affirming clothing program for kids 13 to 18, 
or $400,000 to the Garden State Equality Education Fund, which helps 
minors transition genders, promotes biological boys playing girls' 
sports and using the same restrooms.

  I could go on and on. How about the million dollars for the Inner-
City Muslim Network, which calls for the destruction of Israel? That is 
what we are funding. That is precisely what we are funding in this 
legislation.
  When the Democratic leader talks about a mosaic, that is what he is 
talking about.
  My Republican colleagues, who will campaign against it all year--they 
will--they are voting to fund it today.
  To be very clear, my Republican colleagues are voting to fund that 
so-called mosaic today unless they choose the right path and vote 
against it.
  My friend from California, when he talked about the horrors that will 
happen if we have a CR, well, we shouldn't be here. This is the swamp 
acting like it does: have government funding expire on the Friday 
before a 2-week recess heading into Easter precisely to have the 
pressure of jet fumes so that the American people are the ones left 
holding the bag so that we, Members of Congress, can go off to our 
codels, can go travel, can go do your fundraisers, can make sure you 
get home. The ones left holding the bag are the American people.
  When we talk about this, the game was given up when we talk about 
defense. Everything that is happening here is being done in the name of 
defense, everything that you see, and talking about our national 
security being undermined.

                              {time}  1030

  Well, tell me about national security in Texas when you have the 
National Guard getting rolled over in El Paso, when you have Texans 
dying from fentanyl poisoning, when you have gangs and cartels 
operating in Texas. Talk to me about national security then.
  Madam Speaker, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman from Arizona 
(Mr. Biggs).
  Mr. BIGGS. Madam Speaker, the gentlewoman from Connecticut (Ms. 
DeLauro) said that in this bill they were able to successfully reject 
Republicans' request for spending reductions and rejected Republicans' 
request for riders. Yet, somehow, the Republicans

[[Page H1482]]

are going to vote for that. That is outrageous.
  She is right, though. She got the spending. She killed the riders. 
When I hear that a vote against this is a vote for China, what we 
really are saying is a vote for this is a vote for Chinese terrorism 
because we have had over 30,000 illegal aliens from China come across 
the border with this border policy.
  What you are going to get is you are voting actually to speed up the 
process of redistribution of illegal aliens that come in because that 
is what the funding is going to go for.
  You are talking about beds? Those beds are going to go empty.
  Why? Because you are going to ship these people out as soon as they 
get here. That is what is happening within 24 hours.
  So the crimes, the fentanyl death, the terrorist initiatives that are 
coming our way, you vote for this, you are funding it, you own it.
  Ms. GRANGER. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from 
Florida (Mr. Diaz-Balart), the chairman of the State, Foreign 
Operations, and Related Programs Subcommittee.
  Mr. DIAZ-BALART. Madam Speaker, I thank the chairwoman for yielding 
and also the Speaker for bringing us to this point.
  Let me tell you, I am proud of the State, Foreign Operations, and 
Related Programs portion of the bill that we are dealing with today.
  Let's take out a little bit of the noise and the rhetoric and let's 
talk about what is in the bill. It includes a 6 percent reduction from 
fiscal year 2023.
  Let's be clear, we are at a critical point in our history. One of our 
most important allies is in its time of greatest need, and this bill 
answers the call. It is the strongest pro-Israel State-Foreign 
Operations bill that we have ever seen.
  So let's talk about facts. It provides $3.3 billion in FMF, Foreign 
Military Financing, for Israel.
  Almost as important as what is funded, is what is not funded in this 
bill. The bill prohibits funds to UNRWA, which has become, frankly, a 
de facto subsidiary of Hamas.
  The passage of this bill means not one additional dollar from 
American taxpayers will fund this deeply flawed organization. But if we 
go to a CR, we are going to continue to fund it.
  The passage of this bill also prohibits funds for the anti-Semitic UN 
Commission of Inquiry against Israel.
  The passage of this bill means no funds can be used to delist the 
Iranian Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization or to implement 
that infamous nuclear agreement with Iran.
  Another top priority, Madam Speaker, is countering Communist China. 
This bill includes $300 million Foreign Military Financing for Taiwan--
the first time ever in an appropriations bill that we have done that.
  The passage of this bill prohibits the use of foreign aid to repay 
Chinese debt.
  Also another priority to strengthening our national security is 
supporting democracy around the world and defending human rights and 
human dignity.
  This bill increases funding to promote democracy and human rights in 
Cuba and establishes strict guidelines to ensure that this crucial 
funding supports the democratic opposition.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentleman has expired.
  Ms. GRANGER. Madam Speaker, I yield an additional 2 minutes to the 
gentleman from Florida.
  Mr. DIAZ-BALART. So it helps the democratic opposition and not the 
terrorist regime's chosen businesses.
  We also stand strongly against human trafficking and particularly 
human trafficking of doctors.
  This bill also supports those struggling for freedom in our 
hemisphere's most repressive, anti-American dictatorships in Venezuela 
and Nicaragua.
  If we fail to pass this bill, we lose provisions on the prohibition 
of funds for encouraging, organizing, facilitating, or promoting 
migrant caravans to the United States border.
  If this bill fails, then those funding sources to again, 
organizations that are promoting caravans of illegal folks to the 
United States will continue. That is factual. That is in this bill.
  If this legislation were not to pass, we lose the protection of free 
speech by limiting how funds can be used under the pretext of 
countering disinformation.
  If this legislation were not to pass, we would go back to current 
law.
  We would lose the restriction that only the U.S. flag may be flown or 
displayed over a facility of the State Department.
  Madam Speaker, this bill reduces spending. It reprioritizes funding 
towards our vital national security interests and carries crucial 
limitations and smart policy changes to rein in the Biden 
administration. If this bill were to fail, we are giving carte blanche 
to the Biden bureaucracy.
  It is a dramatic improvement, Madam Speaker, from current law.
  Before I close, let me thank the staff for their hard work, and 
again, Madam Speaker, this is an important bill at a crucial, critical 
time when American leadership is sorely needed. We are not getting it 
from the White House. This bill goes a long way to reestablish 
American leadership.

  Ms. DeLAURO. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Maryland (Mr. Hoyer), the distinguished ranking member of the Financial 
Services and General Government Subcommittee.
  Mr. HOYER. Madam Speaker, 1 minute is too little time.
  The Financial Services bill is a good bill. It is the responsible 
alternative.
  It is ironic that the group that has made compromise the most 
difficult over the last year continues to oppose compromise. 
Legislative action is about compromise. This is a responsible 
compromise.
  As so many of the chairs of the subcommittees on the Republican side 
have said, the alternative is the least responsible action that we 
could take.
  I urge my colleagues to vote for this bill as the responsible, 
effective alternative, notwithstanding the fact that the operations up 
to this point of the Appropriations Committee have not been what they 
ought to be, and we all understand that.
  It is our collective failure caused, as I said, by a group who does 
not want compromise.
  Pass this bill.
  America needs this bill.
  It is a shame it is not going to be followed by passing aid for 
Ukraine.
  Mr. ROY. Madam Speaker, the distinguished former majority leader 
brings up FSGG, the Financial Services and General Government bill. 
What he left out was the fact that we are going to give $200 million to 
the FBI for its new headquarters, even after Republicans touted in the 
last massive omnibus bill that we are cutting the FBI and then relied 
upon getting rid of an earmark in Alabama to claim that it was a bigger 
cut than it really is.
  Now what is happening to the American people, guess what? The FBI is 
getting a brand-new, shiny headquarters, despite running roughshod over 
the American people, spying on them. By the way, we extended FISA to 
continue spying on the American people.
  We also failed to prohibit the Treasury from establishing a central 
bank digital currency. House Republicans passed that. In this deal that 
was cut we don't do that. Why? Why? Why would it be so abhorrent to ban 
a central bank digital currency?
  Madam Speaker, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman from South 
Carolina (Mr. Norman), my friend.
  Mr. NORMAN. Madam Speaker, I woke up this morning to a text from an 
elderly lady saying that we are under attack, can Congress do anything 
to protect our borders? The blood of further deaths of Americans is on 
your hands.
  I disagree with my good friends on the right side. This is anything 
but a national security bill. Look at what is happening at the border. 
Look at what is happening to the agents that got bum-rushed in El Paso 
last night.
  Now, anybody that votes for this bill, you are saying--and for all 
the listeners, are you agreeing to $500 million for Jordan, including 
$150 million for border security in Jordan?
  Are you agreeing, and do you like $125 million to help Egyptians 
attend college in Egypt?
  Is this where you want your money?
  Do you want $286 million for title X family planning, which is an 
abortion clinic?
  Folks, the list goes on and on.
  This is insanity.
  Here is the fix: I call on our Speaker--he is the only one that can 
do it--

[[Page H1483]]

to vote this bill down. Take that mace down--which has to be in place; 
it has been in place for 182 years to have a session in the House of 
Representatives--cut the lights off, and until the Senate accepts a 
total shutdown of the border, until they accept a total H.R. 2, we 
don't come back.
  Why fund a government that is working against us? It is total 
insanity.
  Ms. GRANGER. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from 
Ohio (Mr. Joyce), the chairman of the Homeland Security Subcommittee.
  Mr. JOYCE of Ohio. Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of the 
package of appropriations bills under consideration.
  As chairman of the Homeland Security Subcommittee, I thank the full 
committee chair, Ms. Granger, for her leadership in assembling funding 
packages that reflect strong Republican priorities.
  The crisis at our southwest border has raged under the Biden 
administration. More than 2 million migrants crossed the border each of 
the last 2 years. That is not sustainable.
  So this bill makes key investments to secure the border, expand 
detention, improve technology, and deter illegal immigration.
  Under this bill, we provide $500 million to reach an end strength of 
22,000 border agents consistent with H.R. 2.

  To counter fentanyl, this bill provides $305 million for nonintrusive 
inspection equipment at our Nation's ports of entry.
  This bill ensures ICE has the detention capacity it needs to enforce 
the law by providing 41,500 detention beds.
  Without this funding, ICE would have released more than 10,000 
current detainees who pose a threat to our communities.
  This bill also provides the Coast Guard with two Fast Response 
Cutters to counter Chinese aggression in the Pacific. Additionally, 
this bill fully funds the Coast Guard's military pay raise, keeping our 
promise of supporting our troops.
  Simply put, this bill ensures that men and women of the Department of 
Homeland Security who work tirelessly on our behalf have the resources 
and tools they need to protect this great Nation.
  It reflects strong Republican priorities, cuts wasteful spending, and 
prioritizes securing the border.
  We cannot surrender this progress for a wasteful and harmful 
government shutdown.
  I ask my colleagues to support this bill.
  Ms. DeLAURO. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from 
Minnesota (Ms. McCollum), the distinguished ranking member of the 
Defense Subcommittee.
  Ms. McCOLLUM. Madam Speaker, well, it is no secret that this 
appropriations cycle was tough, and as ranking member of the Defense 
Appropriations Subcommittee, I thank--really thank--Chairman Calvert 
for working in a bipartisan manner to get the Defense bill done.
  This compromise Defense bill is focused on two things--national 
security and our servicemembers and their families.
  This bill provides our servicemembers with the training and the 
equipment necessary to complete their missions and come home as soon 
and safely as possible.
  It supports military families with a 5.2 percent pay increase.
  It includes a 5.4 percent increase to the basic housing allowance.
  This bill restores at least some funding for Ukraine through the 
Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative.
  But the House must pass the Senate's security supplemental as soon as 
possible. I am glad to report that all the partisan riders that were 
originally in the Defense House bill have been removed.
  Madam Speaker, this minibus shows us that there is only one way to 
fund the government, and that is on a bipartisan basis--full stop.
  Let's follow this example in the next appropriations cycle. I urge 
Members to support the bill.

                              {time}  1045

  Mr. ROY. Madam Speaker, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman from 
Georgia (Mr. Clyde).
  Mr. CLYDE. Madam Speaker, I say to my House and Senate Republican 
colleagues, it is time to put their vote where their values are.
  Madam Speaker, you can't claim to be a pro-life champion and then 
fund abortion, abortion travel, and aborted fetal tissue research.
  You can't rail against President Biden's intentional illegal invasion 
and then fund the policies that are causing the chaos without assuming 
the same responsibility. Just like you can't flaunt your vote to 
impeach Secretary Mayorkas and then fully fund his salary and his 
destructive border policies.
  Madam Speaker, you can't defend America's Second Amendment liberties 
and then fund gun control by the CDC.
  You cannot support science and protect young women and then fund 
transgender surgeries and fund educational institutions that allow 
biological males to compete in women's sports. I don't call them men 
because they are not real men. Real men protect women. They don't use 
their superior strength to steal the honor, hard work, and achievements 
of women.
  Madam Speaker, you can't complain about the violation of America's 
First Amendment rights and then fund more disinformation governance 
boards and government by proxy censorship.
  You cannot sound the alarm on our dire economic outlook and 
ballooning national debt and then rubberstamp spending higher than 
Nancy Pelosi's levels for FY 2023. The list goes on and on.
  Republicans simply cannot righteously denounce Democrats' disastrous 
policies that are destroying our great country and then turn around and 
fund them. After all, if you fund it, you own it.
  It is not too late. We promised the American people that we would fix 
these problems, not fund them.
  I urge my colleagues to vote ``no'' on the swamp's second half 
omnibus.
  Ms. DeLAURO. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Texas (Mr. Cuellar), the distinguished ranking member of the 
Subcommittee on Homeland Security.
  Mr. CUELLAR. Madam Speaker, as the ranking member, I live at the 
border. I don't just go visit the border. I know the border. This is a 
strong border security bill that we passed in a bipartisan, commonsense 
way.
  This bill takes away all the poisonous riders and adds bipartisan 
riders. It adds the largest number of Border Patrol agents, 22,000 
agents. It adds CBP officers at the bridges so they can stop fentanyl. 
It adds support staff so they can support the agents. It adds money to 
air marines so they can do their work and counter drones. It adds money 
for the TSA so they can have pay equity. It adds money to the food and 
shelter program, which is important for the border community. It adds 
beds that are being used right now, even up to 41,700 beds. It adds 
money for deportation when aliens don't have their rights after they 
get processed. It fully funds reunification efforts for families that 
were unjustly separated. It adds money for the Border Patrol.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentleman has expired.
  Ms. DeLAURO. Madam Speaker, I yield an additional 15 seconds to the 
gentleman from Texas.
  Mr. CUELLAR. Madam Speaker, it adds money to Stonegarden so local law 
enforcement can do their work.
  I would say, Madam Speaker, this is the strongest border security 
bill that we have. It is fair. I ask folks to support this bill.
  Again, I live at the border. I don't go visit. This is a strong 
Homeland Security bill.
  Mr. ROY. Madam Speaker, I thank my friend from Texas for his remarks, 
but I would simply disagree.
  All we are doing here is adding beds that aren't going to be used. 
All we are doing is adding money for a Border Patrol that won't be 
allowed to do their job. They will be processing more people and 
releasing them against the law under parole policies that are damaging 
the country and that led to Laken Riley's death. That is literally all 
this does.
  Madam Speaker, I yield 1\1/4\ minutes to the gentlewoman from Georgia 
(Ms. Greene).
  Ms. GREENE of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise in extreme opposition to 
the second part of the omnibus bill.
  No Republican in the House of Representatives in good conscience can 
vote for this bill. It is a complete departure of all of our 
principles, especially if you call yourself pro-life. This

[[Page H1484]]

bill funds full-term abortion. This is not a Republican bill. This is a 
Chuck Schumer, Democrat-controlled bill coming from the House majority 
that is supposed to be controlled by Republicans, yet our majority has 
been turned over to the Democrats.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to direct their remarks 
to the Chair.
  Ms. GREENE of Georgia. Madam Speaker, it is the will of our voters, 
and it is the will of Republicans across the country that this bill 
should not be brought to the floor.
  This bill will absolutely destroy our majority and will tell every 
single one of our voters that this majority is a failure.
  This is the bill that the White House cannot wait to sign into law. 
This is the bill that rips our border wide open and tells every single 
person in over 160 countries around the world they can invade our 
country, they can run over our Border Patrol, they can run over our 
Texas National Guard, they can come in, rape our women, murder our 
people, and squat and take over our homes.
  Madam Speaker, this is an atrocious attack on the American people. 
The Speaker of the House should not bring it to the floor, and this 
bill should not pass.
  Mr. ROY. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Missouri (Mr. Burlison).
  Mr. BURLISON. Madam Speaker, I think that this bill defies any kind 
of objective understanding of the reality of the situation that we are 
in.
  We are at $34 trillion in debt. It is the highest debt-to-GDP that we 
have experienced in the history of the United States of America, higher 
than we experienced after World War II, and we just left a war.
  Today, we are at that same level of debt-to-GDP, and yet we are 
facing potential wars. This situation is the greatest threat to 
national security that there is. To add more debt onto this Nation is 
only risking us even further.
  Our border is a threat to national security, and yet we are doing 
very little to actually fix it in this bill. No matter how much we talk 
about some of the things that are in the bill, at the end of the day, I 
hear expressions like this, as the swamp people say: Somebody has got 
to govern.
  Within that statement, therein lies the false pretense that 
government is the solution to our problems. Government is the problem.
  Mr. ROY. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Pennsylvania (Mr. Perry).
  Mr. PERRY. Madam Speaker, last night, when I was looking over the 
bill, I got a text with a film in it, a video clip of soldiers in 
uniform being overrun at El Paso, being overrun by illegal foreign 
nationals coming into our country, just running right over them.
  I don't know what their orders were. I don't know what their rules of 
engagement were. I don't know how anybody expected them to stop these 
people coming into our country wholesale.
  What was amazing and astounding as well, Madam Speaker, is those 
folks all ran to the Border Patrol to come into our country illegally. 
Border Patrol was ordered by President Biden and Secretary Mayorkas to 
allow these people to come into our country.
  My friends on the other side of the aisle are going to say we got 
more beds and we got more Border Patrol agents. Those agents are going 
to process these individuals into our country, and those beds are going 
to go unfilled because these people are coming to your town.
  Madam Speaker, this bill makes Americans pay for their own sellout, 
and I recommend that we all vote ``no.''
  Mr. ROY. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Kentucky (Mr. Massie).
  Mr. MASSIE. Madam Speaker, today we are setting a dangerous 
precedent. We are suspending the 3-day rule so that our constituents 
don't have time to see what is in this bill.
  We know a few things that are in it. We know it spends too much 
money. We know it has got money to groom our children, down to ages of 
12, into being trans. We know it has got funding for facilities to do 
late-term abortions.
  Why would Republicans vote for that? It has got a dangerous cocktail 
that the swamp has always served, and we are drunk on it today. What is 
that cocktail? Earmarks and budget gimmicks with a chaser of the fumes 
from DCA, the smell of jet fuel at DCA.
  What are we going to do? As soon as we betray Americans by passing 
this bill, we are all going to the airport and going on recess for 2 
weeks.
  This is not the way we should do the Nation's business. We need to 
preserve the 3-day rule. We need to follow our own rules. We need to 
bring these bills through committee and do regular order.
  Madam Speaker, I urge people to vote against this bill.
  Mr. ROY. Madam Speaker, may I inquire as to the time remaining?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Texas has 3\1/4\ minutes 
remaining.
  Mr. ROY. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Arizona (Mr. Crane).
  Mr. CRANE. Madam Speaker, I am going to be voting ``no'' for this 
bill.
  Madam Speaker, first, for my Republican colleagues, it is important 
that we understand that the American people don't expect us to win 
every time, but they sure as hell expect us to fight. That is not what 
we are doing. We should not be fighting for this. This is garbage.
  The next thing I want to address real quick is for the American 
people. The American people should pay attention to who votes for this. 
When they come back to their hometown in their district and talk at the 
next Lincoln Day Dinner about fiscal responsibility and securing the 
border, if they voted for this, let them hear about it.
  Mr. ROY. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  The gentleman from Florida a moment ago talked about the fact that we 
defund UNRWA, and we defund some policies that are pernicious. I agree 
with him. It is a part of the process that we carried out last year 
when we set out to change this institution, to return to some sort of 
regular order, to have 72 hours to read bills, to be able to have 
single-subject bills, to offer amendments on the floor, to actually 
have an appropriations process.

  We passed seven appropriations bills off the floor of the House. We 
passed three out of committee to the floor. We actually had some amount 
of debate and were able to move things through. We got some of our 
policy priorities. We sent them over to the Senate.
  Then what did we do? We walked away and went back to business as 
usual in the swamp where a handful of people that they call the four 
corners all sit back and decide for you, not the people in this room as 
a body, but a handful of so-called cardinals, the same group that I 
heard guffawing in the back a minute ago, the same bloc of 
appropriators that think they are the ones that get to control the 
entire world and use our men and women in uniform as an excuse to 
undermine the national security of this country by spending money we 
don't have, by racking up debt to the tune of a trillion dollars every 
100 days, while funding all manner of sin with respect to transgender 
surgeries, abortion tourism, funding the World Health Organization to 
give away our sovereignty, funding open borders with mass parole that 
led to the death of Laken Riley.
  Madam Speaker, everybody who votes for this bill today owns it. They 
cannot go out and campaign this year saying they opposed this stuff 
when they wrote the check.
  That is what is happening today. Every single Republican and every 
single Democrat who votes for this omnibus spending bill today owns it. 
They own the open borders. They own the woke military that we cannot 
recruit people to fight in. They own giving our sovereignty to the 
World Health Organization and international bodies. They own more 
funding for the Wuhan lab.
  Yeah, that is all in there. They own it.

                              {time}  1100

  They own it. We should vote ``no.''
  Mr. Speaker, do you want to win in November?
  Then vote ``no.''
  Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Ms. GRANGER. Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. DeLAURO. Mr. Speaker, 11,388 Members have served historically in 
the United States House of Representatives.

[[Page H1485]]

  We are blessed, and what we are charged with is serving the American 
people. That is our job. It is not serving our individual philosophies, 
ideologies, or whatever it is that we believe. We need to govern on 
behalf of the American people.
  I am proud to have been working with Democrats and Republicans united 
to make government work for the people of this country.
  It is a bipartisan bill, it sides with the hardworking majority of 
Americans, it helps to lower their cost of living, it protects women's 
rights, it reinforces America's global leadership, and, yes, it helps 
our communities be safe and secure.
  What we do is not about those of us who serve in this Chamber. It is 
about what we do on behalf of the people of this country outside of 
this Chamber. This bill serves the American people, and it has Democrat 
and Republican support to move forward.
  We are 6 months into this 2024 year. We have been unable to do the 
work of the people because some people will hold us back.
  Again, it is our job. The reason why we are elected is to serve the 
American people. That is what we are charged with. Let us never forget 
that we are blessed to serve here. We have a duty to perform and to do 
what is right.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this bill. It makes 
sense for us to do it, and we do it because we represent hardworking 
families in this country who put their faith and trust in us to do this 
job on their behalf.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Ms. GRANGER. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this bill, 
and I yield back the balance of my time.
  Ms. DeLAURO. Mr. Speaker, I want to give my thanks and appreciation 
to my Democratic colleagues on the committee, especially subcommittee 
Ranking Members Sanford Bishop, Matt Cartwright, Betty McCollum, Marcy 
Kaptur, Steny Hoyer, Henry Cuellar, Chellie Pingree, Adriano Espaillat, 
Debbie Wassermann Schultz, Barbara Lee, and Mike Quigley, for fighting 
hard for the American people and for Democratic priorities in each of 
your bills.
  In the majority, my thanks and congratulations to subcommittee chairs 
Andy Harris, Harold Rogers, Ken Calvert, Chuck Fleischmann, Steve 
Womack, David Joyce, Mike Simpson, Robert Aderholt, Mark Amodei, John 
Carter, Mario Diaz-Balart, and Tom Cole. I thank you all for engaging 
in these hard-fought negotiations with respect and patriotism.
  My deep appreciation goes to the majority and minority staff, 
especially Minority Staff Director Chris Bigelow, Minority Clerks 
Martha Foley, Bob Bonner, Jennifer Chartrand, Scott McKee, Matt Smith, 
Bob Joachim, Rita Culp, Stephen Steigleider, Faye Cobb, Jenny 
Neuscheler, Erin Kolodjeski, and Christina Monroe. I also want to thank 
my front office staff, Jason Gray, Raquel Spencer, Adam Wilson, Ryann 
Kinney, Alex Swann, Tom Tucker, as well as my communications staff 
Katelynn Thorpe and Ben Cowlishaw. This would not be possible without 
the hard work of Tyler Coe, Nora Faye, Jocelyn Hunn, Jackie Kilroy, 
Shannon McCully, Laurie Mignone, Farouk Ophaso, Stephanie Reed, Philip 
Tizzani, and Thomas Wilson. Their hard work, long hours, and dedication 
behind the scenes is what makes this possible.
  And I also owe a great deal of gratitude to my personal office staff, 
including Becky Salay, Jack Rayburn, King Green, Caitlin Peruccio, 
Daniel Robillard, Harper White, John Myron, Sam Erickson, Diana 
Solares, Mia Villiavicencio-Eschinger, and Clay Vaughan.
  Everyone I have just named keeps my name on the door. I thank them 
all.
  Ms. LEE of California, as Ranking Member of the House State and 
Foreign Operations subcommittee, I am sorely disappointed with this 
outcome.
  I have spent much of my time in Congress talking about the 3Ds of our 
national security--diplomacy, development and defense. Each of these 
has a role to play in keeping our country safe and secure, and creating 
a world where kids and grandkids can prosper.
  The SFOPS bill is supposed to fund two of those Ds--diplomacy and 
development. But this package slashes diplomacy and development by 6 
percent than 15 percent below what the President identified as the 
global need.
  Meanwhile, the Pentagon gets a $27 billion increase--despite failing 
audits.
  America needs the diplomatic and development tools in the SFOPS bill 
to prevent wars. I fear this package leaves America weaker and more 
vulnerable. This funding imbalance undermines both our values and our 
interests. I hope we can work together to get our priorities 
rebalanced.
  Mr. SOTO. Mr. Speaker, I thank the authors of H. Res. 1102--Further 
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024 for funding Department of Defense 
programs that support secure domestic semiconductor advanced packaging 
manufacturing technology and capabilities. I also thank the staff who 
contributed to this effort.
  Specifically, I express gratitude to my colleagues for the following 
actions:
  Fully funding the Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment Support's 
(IBAS) Reshore Ecosystem for Secure Heterogeneous Advanced Packaging 
Electronics (RESHAPE) program within the Research, Development, Test 
and Evaluation, Defense-Wide account;
  Providing $10.25 million in additional funding for IBAS's 2.5D 
advanced packaging program within the Research, Development, Test and 
Evaluation, Defense-Wide account; and
  Providing $2 million in additional funding for Aerospace Sensors' 
zero-trust environment for semiconductor technology within the 
Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Air Force account.
  Microelectronics support nearly all DoD activities. They enable 
critical capabilities such as the global positioning system, radar, 
command and control, and communication. Ensuring secure access to 
leading-edge microelectronics is a challenge, however. The pandemic 
highlighted challenges associated with the global supply chain, the 
changing global semiconductor industry, and the sophistication of U.S. 
adversaries who threaten to target military electronic components. 
Funding for the three projects highlighted above help address these 
challenges.
  IBAS is dedicated to ensuring that the DoD is positioned to 
effectively address industrial base issues and support the National 
Security Innovation Base. IBAS achieves this mission by strengthening 
and protecting the domestic semiconductor supply chain to provide 
access to leading-edge capabilities that accelerate innovation. One of 
the next generation semiconductor technologies that IBAS focuses on is 
Heterogeneous Integration and Advanced Packing. These technologies 
provide secure, credible, and reliable domestic advanced 
microelectronics manufacturing capability. Full funding for the RESHAPE 
program, along with $10.25 in additional funding for IBAS's 2.5D 
advanced packaging program will support machine tooling and advanced 
packaging manufacturing capabilities and allow IBAS to support next 
generation domestic production lines.
  The $2 million in additional funding provided for Aerospace Sensors' 
zero-trust environment for semiconductor technology further helps 
address critical challenges associated with domestic semiconductor 
manufacturing. The Air Force Research Lab (AFRL) is working on a new 
modeling and simulation research program (secure digital twin) to 
advance next generation semiconductor design and manufacturing. Funding 
for the zero-trust environment for semiconductor technology will 
provide capabilities that deliver solutions that protect against 
malicious function insertion, fraudulent products, theft of 
intellectual property, and reliability failures within DoD 
semiconductors.
  I believe Congress should continue to provide resources necessary to 
update our domestic microelectronics security framework. I am proud of 
the work undertaken in my district to support domestic semiconductor 
manufacturing technology development and to ensure the security of this 
critical supply chain. I look forward to continuing to work with my 
colleagues to support this goal.
  Ms. JACKSON LEE. Mr. Speaker, as a senior member of the Committees on 
the Budget, Judiciary, and Homeland Security, I proudly rise in support 
of H. Res. 1102--Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024 (Approps 
Minibus No. 2) which will provide funding to continue the operations of 
the federal government through September 30, 2024, enhance supportive 
services to the American people, and avoid a wasteful and irresponsible 
shutdown.
  After multiple Continuing Resolutions and threats of a government 
shutdown, I am relieved that an agreement has been reached between the 
bicameral, bipartisan leadership, and produced a second minibus 
spending package that keeps our remaining federal agencies funded.
  This bipartisan legislation, which represents a compromise between 
Republicans and Democrats that adheres to the Fiscal Responsibility 
Act, would fund the remainder of the Federal Government through the end 
of the fiscal year, while investing in key priorities for the American 
people.
  Specifically, the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2024, 
provides full-year funding for the six remaining FY24 Appropriations 
bills:
  Defense;
  Financial Services and General Government;
  Homeland Security;
  Legislative Branch;
  Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education; and

[[Page H1486]]

  State and Foreign Operations.
  The 2024 funding bills invest in America's future and deliver for the 
American people by:
  Helping with the high cost of living, reducing drug costs, and 
prioritizing childcare and Head Start;
  Siding with hardworking Americans by supporting education, job 
training, and placement programs that help Americans find high paying 
jobs, defending robust worker protection agencies that ensure Americans 
are safe and properly compensated at work, and by ensuring billionaires 
and wealthy corporations pay the taxes they owe;
  Protecting women's rights by blocking attempts to limit women's 
access to reproductive health care (including the elimination of Title 
X Family Planning and Teen Pregnancy Prevention Grants) and supporting 
the reproductive health of women overseas;
  Reinforcing America's global leadership by strengthening defense 
capabilities, ensuring America can respond anywhere in the world where 
freedom and democracy are under attack, amplifying American diplomacy, 
and reaffirming our global commitments to fight climate change and 
reinforce global health; and
  Helping our communities be safe and secure by funding border 
security, preventing the trafficking of fentanyl and other dangerous 
drugs, bolstering cyber security, protecting consumers from scammers, 
fraudsters, and dangerous products, and enabling robust and immediate 
responses to natural disasters.
  Like the first Appropriations minibus, the bill rejects nearly all 
House Republican riders.
  It also includes $1,383,069 in Community Project Funding that will be 
going directly to my constituents that I know will have a profound 
impact on Texas's 18th District.
  I am pleased that Sec. P118-08-00 Conveyance and Detention 
Improvements, $1,383,069, was included in Homeland to be funded.
  It was my goal to fund as many of the 3,203 Democratic projects 
across all 2024 funding bills as were eligible.
  I am proud of the hard work it took to get to this point in an 
unprecedented year for the House of Representatives, and I hope that 
you will all join me in celebrating these direct investments in your 
community.
  These investments create jobs, making a real difference in the lives 
of so many in my district.
  I am proud to have fought for funding that will make our community 
healthier, safer, and stronger.
  Funding the government is essential to our constituents, and I am 
happy that we were finally able to deliver.
  This legislation provides vitally needed and long-overdue funding 
that will improve the lives of the American people.
  House Democrats have worked to deliver results to the American people 
and these projects, programs, services, and improvements will do just 
that.
  Without the passage of this bill, the livelihood of millions of 
Americans will be in jeopardy and the safety and security of the United 
States would be diminished.
  The passage of this legislation is vital, I support it 
enthusiastically, and urge my colleagues to join me in passing this 
bipartisan, essential legislation to fund our government.
