                    FUNDING THE PEOPLE'S GOVERNMENT

  (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, today, we took the responsible step of 
funding the people's government. Unfortunately, we did not, however, 
fund our allies in Ukraine.
  The Speaker has said publicly and privately that he is going to bring 
Ukraine to the floor when we come back. I rise to assure our Ukrainian 
allies and those brave young men and women and not-so-young men and 
women who are in the field at the point of the spear defending freedom 
and democracy that I believe that there are over 300 votes on this 
floor, as there have been seven times, to support them in their battle, 
which is our battle as well.
  I urge all of us, as soon as we return, to defend freedom through our 
Ukrainian warriors.
