SUPPORT FOR LEBANON WAR POWERS RESOLUTION

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 94 (Wednesday, June 3, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 94 (Wednesday, June 3, 2026)] [House] [Page H3782] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] SUPPORT FOR LEBANON WAR POWERS RESOLUTION (Ms. PRESSLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute.) Ms. PRESSLEY. Madam Speaker, I rise in support of the Lebanon War Powers Resolution. More than 3,000 innocent people have been killed in Lebanon by the Israeli military and over a million are displaced. These are not abstract statistics. These are real lives--a baby who will grow up without a mother, an elder who was fleeing the only home they have ever known. Congress must not sit idly by while the Trump administration supports Netanyahu's barbaric warfare. We must not be complicit. We must take action for peace and pass this War Powers Resolution. Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on H. Con. Res. 84. Madam Speaker, I rise in favor of the Ukraine Support Act. In the Massachusetts Seventh Congressional District, I hear from Ukrainians about the necessity of American support to put an end to Putin's attacks. This bill will advance strategic assistance to save lives and negotiate a diplomatic solution to end this war once and for all. I was proud to sign the discharge petition to force this vote, and I urge all of my colleagues to stand with Ukraine. ____________________
