the early weeks of the gaza war, they tried to condition aid to israel on republican cuts to i.r.s. funding. it took fully six months after october 7 for republicans to finally put the emergency security funding on the floor. it passed overwhelmingly with 366 votes. the delay was clearly partisan. let me be clear. it is wrong to withhold even just one shipment of weapons to israel in its fight, as it fights an existential, multipronged war. it is ok for friends to disagree, but we must not send mixed signals to israel's enemy about u.s. support for the mission to end hamas' reign of terror over gaza, to eliminate the threat to israel, and to bring the hostages home. sadly, speaker johnson's approach is different. he drafted a partisan bill with no path forward. it didn't even go through the foreign affairs committee where we could have fixed it. i can't imagine anyone in this body believing that automatically zeroing occupant the budget for the departments of state, defense, and the national security council in the case of delayed arms is a good idea. it is a terrible, dangerous ide

we have witnessed various united states government agencies, the i.r.s. to the f.b.i. targeting conservatives for their beliefs. do you want your buc-ee's coffee or monthly mortgage payment or the ammo you purchase for your hunting trip to be visible to the federal government? i suggest not. we must continue to fight back against the continuing and obvious weaponization of the federal government and prevent the creation of a central bank digital currency. mr. speaker, this could be the final step toward absolute and total surveillance by the federal government. i urge my colleagues to support the freedom of americans and vote for the underlying bill. i yield back. the chair: the gentleman yields. the gentlewoman from california is recognized. ms. waters: the bill's sponsor has warned that a u.s. cbdc would mirror the surveillance tactics that are baked into the chinese cbdc without explaining why the united states would ever choose to design a cbdc in a manner that mimics chinese surveillance. privacy protections can be incorporated from the earliest development stages
