BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. MOYLAN. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support the people of Guam by voting ``yes'' on the 2025 NDAA.

Guam is in the USINDOPACOM area. This bill authorizes $4 billion for economic activity on Guam, $2 billion planned for 2025. This is a historic investment for Guam. It supports our infrastructure, defends our community, and protects our Nation.

There is $600 million for Guam missile defense, protecting my constituents from direct PRC and North Korean threats.

Additionally, it includes $100 million for Marine Corps Drive, our public roadway on Guam, for upgrades to provide easier access for our civilians and our military.

Also, it recognizes Guam's history, which directs the DOD to provide a report regarding the use of Agent Orange on Guam. It would clarify how Agent Orange was used on the island, and it would start the groundwork for corrective action that is desperately needed.

Mr. Speaker, I thank the chairman for his support of Guam, and I encourage my colleagues to vote ``yes'' for this year's 2025 NDAA.
