Mr. KAINE. Mr. President, I oppose H.R. 4 and believe it reflects profoundly misplaced priorities for America. Accordingly, it is my intention to make the following motions to recommit the bill:

A motion to recommit the bill to the Committee on Appropriations with instructions to report back to the Senate with changes that include eliminating the rescission of Migration and Refugee Assistance funds and International Disaster Assistance funds, including such funds that support activities of faith-based organizations or their local partners.

A motion to recommit the bill to the Committee on Appropriations with instructions to report back to the Senate with changes that include eliminating the rescission of any funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting that supports pre-K educational programming.

A motion to recommit the bill to the Committee on Appropriations with instructions to report back to the Senate with changes that include eliminating the rescission of any funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting for any broadcasts and media stations that disseminate information during natural disasters and national emergencies.
