  Mr. GUTHRIE. Mr. Speaker. I wish to include in the Record the 
following letters of exchange between the House Committee on Energy and 
Commerce and the House Committee on Foreign Affairs with respect to 
H.R. 1765, the Promoting United States Wireless Leadership Act of 2025. 
By these letters, the Chairman of the House Committee on Foreign 
Affairs agreed to discharge the bill and forgo further consideration of 
the measure so that it may proceed expeditiously to the House Floor. I 
agree that this discharge in no way diminishes or alters the 
jurisdiction of the Committee on Foreign Affairs or prejudice its 
jurisdictional prerogatives on this measure or similar legislation in 
the future.

                                         House of Representatives,


                                 Committee on Foreign Affairs,

     Affairs on the text of H.R. 1765, the Promoting United States 
     Wireless Leadership Act of 2025. I agree that Foreign Affairs 
     may be discharged from further consideration of the bill, so 
     that it may proceed expeditiously to the House Floor.
       This agreement is made with the understanding that it does 
     not in any way diminish or alter the jurisdiction of the 
     Committee on Foreign Affairs or prejudice our jurisdictional 
     prerogatives on this measure or similar legislation in the 
     future. I also request your support for the appointment of an 
     appropriate number of Foreign Affairs conferees to any House-
     Senate conference that might occur on this legislation.
       I would appreciate it if you could include this letter in 
     your committee report on the bill or place it into the 
     Congressional Record during Floor consideration. I look 
     forward to continuing to work together as this measure moves 
     through the legislative process.
           Sincerely,
                                                       Brian Mast,
     Chairman.

     Hon. Brian Mast,

     Act of 2025.'' I appreciate your willingness to forgo action 
     on the bill so that it may proceed expeditiously to the House 
     Floor.
       I agree that your decision to forgo action on this bill

     Committee on Foreign Affairs, nor prejudice that Committee's 
     jurisdictional prerogatives on this measure or similar 
     legislation in the future.
       As you requested, I will include a copy of our exchange of
