                         CONGRESS MUST ACT NOW

  (Ms. MANNING asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. MANNING. Mr. Speaker, last Saturday, Iran launched an 
unprecedented attack on our key democratic ally, Israel. The Government 
of Iran is the leading state sponsor of terrorism worldwide. It 
consistently uses proxies to attack the Jewish state and supplies 
weapons to aid Putin's invasion of Ukraine. Iran's direct attack on 
Israel underscores the serious threat to the global order and to 
democracy that the world is facing.
  Israel is under attack. Ukraine is running out of ammunition, as we 
speak. It is far past time for Congress to act. The Speaker must 
immediately bring the Senate supplemental aid package to the floor. 
That aid package passed the Senate with 70 votes from both Democrats 
and Republicans.
  Bring it to the floor now so we can pass it, send it to the 
President's desk, and deliver this long overdue crucially needed aid to 
our allies as soon as possible.
