Major Non-Nato Ally Terror Threat Assessment Act

Floor Speech

Date: July 13, 2026
Location: Washington, DC


Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 8168, the Major Non-NATO Ally Terror Threat Assessment Act.

This bill directs the Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Director of National Intelligence, to provide an assessment of the threats to the United States posed by foreign terrorist organizations and specially designated global terrorists present in countries that the State Department designates as ``major non-NATO allies.''

The assessment required under the bill will give Congress a more comprehensive view of terrorist threats to the homeland, which will inform Congress of authorities and resources needed to combat those threats.

Mr. Speaker, I support the bill, and I reserve the balance of my time.

Mr. Speaker, I congratulate the new member, Mr. Van Epps, on this legislation. I support H.R. 8168, and I yield back the balance of my time.
