IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
MAY 10, 2024 
Mr. MILLER of Ohio (for himself and Mr. MCCAUL) submitted the following 
resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs 
RESOLUTION 
Condemning the Biden Administration’s decision to pause 
certain arms transfers to Israel. 
Whereas, on October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorists launched a 
massive, unprovoked war on Israel, killing over 1,200 in-
nocent people and taking over 240 hostages, including 
American citizens; 
Whereas since October 7, Israel has faced attacks by Iran 
and its proxies including Hezbollah, Hamas, and the 
Houthis, which have required significant military re-
sponses; 
Whereas under the terms of a 2016 Memorandum of Under-
standing, the United States provides Israel with $3.8 bil-
lion per year in security assistance and missile defense 
funding from fiscal years 2019 through 2028, which is 
subject to the approval of Congress;

Whereas thus far in fiscal year 2024, Congress has enacted 
regular and supplemental legislation appropriating $12.5 
billion in security assistance and missile defense for 
Israel without any additional conditions; 
Whereas Congress plays a vital role in oversight and approval 
of direct commercial sales and foreign military sales to 
security partners around the world, including Israel; 
Whereas, in May 2024, it was reported that President Biden 
ordered a pause on certain defense articles ready for im-
minent delivery to Israel, without having consulted with 
Congress; and 
Whereas, on May 8, 2024, President Biden stated regarding 
Israel, ‘‘We’re not going to supply the weapons and artil-
lery shells.’’: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) condemns the Biden Administration’s deci-
sion to pause certain arms transfers to Israel as 
Israel faces unprecedented threats from Iran and its 
proxies including Hezbollah, Hamas, and the 
Houthis; 
(2) calls on the Biden Administration to allow 
all previously approved arms transfers to Israel to 
proceed quickly to ensure that Israel can defend 
itself and defeat threats from Iran and its proxies 
including Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis; 
(3) calls on the Biden Administration to utilize 
all congressionally appropriated funds for security 
assistance for Israel as Congress intended;

Mr. VAN DREW submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the

RESOLUTION 
Condemning President Biden’s threat to withhold aid and

Whereas Hamas terrorists broke a cease-fire and committed 
an unprovoked attack on October 7, 2023, killing 1,300 
men, women, children, and elderly people, and taking

Whereas more than 30 Americans were amongst those killed, 
and of the 132 hostages that are still believed to be alive, 
approximately 5 are American; 
Whereas Hamas has promised to commit October 7th style 
attacks on Israel ‘‘again and again’’ until they annihilate

Whereas the original Hamas Covenant in 1988 made clear 
their desire for the complete destruction of Israel as an 
essential condition for the liberation of Palestine; 
Whereas calls for the destruction of Israel are inseparably 
linked to calls for the annihilation of the Jewish people; 
Whereas Israeli civilians and population centers have been 
the target of more than 15,000 rocket, mortar, drone, 
and other projectiles attacks; 
Whereas Israel has every right to defend itself against those 
perpetrating these attacks and the right to take any steps 
necessary to once and for all eradicate the threat to its 
sovereignty and people posed by Hamas; 
Whereas Hamas has developed an intricate and vast network 
of tunnels beneath the Gaza Strip for smuggling and 
warfare and has strategically placed key portions of its 
tunnel system under heavily populated civilian districts, 
hospitals, and schools; 
Whereas Hamas uses civilians as human shields, intentionally 
causing incidental deaths and injuries to Gazan civilians, 
which helps to further perpetuate their motive to frame 
Israel as the unlawful aggressor; 
Whereas Hamas has stolen humanitarian aid meant for the 
civilian population as well as materials such as concrete 
and medical supplies meant for the construction of much 
needed civilian housing and hospitals for themselves, 
highlighting that these terrorists have little to no regard 
for the well-being of the people they supposedly rep-
resent; 
Whereas the United States and Israel are longstanding allies 
and partners in defense;

Whereas, in order to aid Israel in its war to eradicate 
Hamas, Congress passed a supplemental appropriation of 
$26,380,000,000, which was signed into law by President 
Joe Biden on April 23, 2024; 
Whereas an antisemitic surge on college campuses in recent 
weeks has raised political pressure on the President to 
place conditions on disbursement of aid to Israel; 
Whereas, on May 6, 2024, Israel ordered the evacuation of 
civilians from the city of Rafah prior to an Israeli offen-
sive meant to eradicate the remaining Hamas brigades 
hiding within the city; 
Whereas, on May 7, 2024, Biden stated that the United 
States would not supply Israel with certain weapons and 
artillery shells if its military invades Rafah; 
Whereas the halting of this aid emboldens Hamas and will 
lengthen the timeline of this war; and 
Whereas this aid has been lawfully agreed upon by Congress 
and the President, and its withholding may be considered 
a violation of these legally binding agreements, poten-
tially resulting in detrimental consequences for diplomatic 
relations and military strategy between the United States 
and Israel: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) condemns President Biden’s threat to with-
hold aid and military assistance to Israel; and 
(2) urges the immediate resumption of full sup-
port and assistance, consistent with the passage into 
law of H.R. 8034.

Recognizing ‘‘Necrotizing Enterocolitis Awareness Day’’. 
Whereas necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is the most common 
cause of death in hospitalized premature infants after 
two weeks of age; 
Whereas babies born prematurely or with a medical complica-
tion, like congenital heart disease, are most at risk of 
NEC; 
Whereas thousands of babies develop NEC each year and 
hundreds of babies die from this complex condition; 
Whereas necrotizing enterocolitis causes a severe inflam-
matory process that can lead to intestinal tissue damage 
and death and, once NEC is diagnosed, many babies only 
live for a few hours or days;

Whereas surgery for NEC is not curative, and the babies who 
survive often have lifelong neurological and nutritional 
complications; 
Whereas necrotizing enterocolitis results in approximately 
$5,000,000,000 of hospitalization expenses per year and 
roughly 19 percent of neonatal health care expenditures 
in the United States, with an estimated cost of $200,000 
or more for each case of surgical necrotizing enterocolitis; 
Whereas breast milk is one of the most effective ways to help 
prevent necrotizing enterocolitis in medically fragile in-
fants, and when the mother’s milk is unavailable, pas-
teurized donor human milk is the next-safest option for 
babies at risk of NEC; 
Whereas formula does not protect against the risk of NEC 
in medically fragile infants, and infants at risk of NEC 
receive the most protection from their mother’s own milk 
and pasteurized donor milk; 
Whereas, although the risk of necrotizing enterocolitis cannot 
be fully eliminated and there are not yet sure ways to 
stop or cure NEC, preventative measures are effective at 
reducing risks; 
Whereas parents must be trusted and valued as the most im-
portant member of their baby’s care team, and health 
care providers should partner with families to provide the 
best care for infants at risk of NEC; 
Whereas necrotizing enterocolitis can develop in both pre-
mature babies and babies born at term, and more data 
are desperately needed to better understand how and why 
NEC occurs in preterm and term infants;
