Indo-Pacific Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. LAMBORN. Madam Speaker, history is watching us today. The whole world is watching us today.

Winston Churchill, before World War II, spoke of those like Neville Chamberlain who chose dishonor over war and ended up with both.

Likewise, isolationists today who choose to retreat from helping our friends who are being threatened and invaded will find that the struggles of our friends will sooner or later follow us home.

Our standing in the world is at stake with our vote today. We can choose dishonor, or we can choose to help friends who are oppressed by strong and malignant neighbors. Speaker Johnson has chosen honor and is to be commended.

Taiwan, Israel, and, yes, Ukraine desperately needs our help. Vote for all four bills. Choose honor over dishonor.
