                   HELP AMERICAN PEOPLE REDUCE COSTS

  (Mr. KHANNA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. KHANNA. Mr. Speaker, yesterday Secretary Hegseth couldn't answer 
my question about how much the war in Iran is costing the American 
people, so I am going to answer it for him.
  The answer is $631 billion, $5,000 per American household. That is 
how much it is costing because of the increase in the price of food, 
gas, and electricity. We need to end this war now and help the American 
people reduce costs.
