WASHINGTON, D.C.– House Appropriations Committee Chairman Tom Cole (R-OK), House Appropriations State and Foreign Operations Subcommittee Chairman Mario Díaz-Balart (R-FL), House Appropriations Defense Subcommittee Chairman Ken Calvert (R-CA), House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mike Rogers (R-AL), House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-TX), and House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Mike Turner (R-OH) have voiced their support for the passage of the full national security supplemental.
Cole emphasized the importance of passing critical national security aid, stating, "There is nothing our adversaries would love more than if Congress were to fail to pass critical national security aid. Speaker Johnson has produced a plan that will boost U.S. national security interests in Europe, the Middle East, and the Indo-Pacific."
Díaz-Balart echoed the urgency of the situation, emphasizing the need for prompt action: “We don’t have time to spare when it comes to our national security. We need to pass this aid package this week.”
