                NO FUNDS FOR WAR THROUGH RECONCILIATION

  (Ms. HOYLE of Oregon asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. HOYLE of Oregon. Mr. Speaker, today, I introduced the No War 
Appropriations Through Reconciliation Act, or the No WAR Act, which 
would prevent the partisan process from being used to fund military 
action in Iran.
  We cannot normalize using reconciliation as the vehicle for every 
party-line priority when the drafters of the Congressional Budget Act 
designed it to be used to quickly resolve issues with the budget.
  We have already spent $45 billion on this illegal, immoral war in 
Iran, and this administration is asking for $1.5 trillion more after 
already requesting $350 billion in mandatory defense spending that was 
passed through the last reconciliation.
  On something as serious as this, where we are putting American lives 
on the line, we need strong bipartisan support and a transparent 
process with clear authorization from Congress because that is what the 
American people deserve. I am very proud to put this forward.
