BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT
Mrs. WAGNER. I yield myself such time as I may consume.
Madam Speaker, I want to thank Chairman Meeks and Representative Connolly for working on this compromise text for the Protection of Saudi Dissidents Act that strikes an important balance.
The bill we are voting on today shows that we can strongly advocate for human rights in Saudi Arabia and for its nationals abroad without leaving Saudi Arabia and Americans in the region vulnerable to threats from Iran and other malign actors. This bill shows we can protect our values and our security interests at the same time.
I urge all Members to support this legislation.
I yield back the balance of my time.
