“REPORT ON THE STRATEGIC IMPLICATIONS OF BITCOIN FOR UNITED STATES NATIONAL AND ECONOMIC SECURITY. (a) Findings.--Congress finds that-- (1) Bitcoin is emerging as a strategically significant monetary asset, with a fixed supply, increasing adoption, and growing relevance in sovereign reserve policy--posing both opportunities and risks to United States national economic security and the international financial system anchored by the dollar; (2) adversarial and allied nation-states are accelerating efforts to accumulate Bitcoin--directly and through affiliated entities--raising the possibility of long-term geoeconomic and game-theoretic competition over strategic access to a scarce monetary resource, with implications for deterrence, financial sovereignty, and the credibility of United States economic power; and (3) a comprehensive Department of Defense assessment is necessary to evaluate the strategic implications of global Bitcoin accumulation, identify potential risks and opportunities for integrated United States statecraft, and inform future interagency actions to preserve national and economic security in the digital asset era.”

Mr. TUBERVILLE (for himself and Ms. Lummis) submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by him to the bill S. 4784, to authorize appropriations for fiscal year 2027 for military activities of the Department of Defense, for military construction, and for defense activities of the Department of Energy, to prescribe military personnel strengths for such fiscal year, and for other purposes; which was ordered to lie on the table; as follows: At the appropriate place in title X, insert the following: SEC. ___.”
“Over the last few years, Leo has faced cancer head-on, but it hasn't slowed him down or made him lose his vision. He faced his diagnosis with the same philosophy he faced our enemies abroad: with bravery and without fear. It is no wonder that his friend and colleague Joe Black speaks so highly of Leo after all he has endured, saying: ``His dedication, professionalism, and commitment to duty set an example for everyone who had the opportunity to serve alongside him. Leo Finn represents the very best of the Alabama National Guard and the generation of veterans whose sacrifices helped preserve the freedoms we enjoy today.'' I am thankful for Leo's calling to serve our State and country through all the challenges he has faced. It is my honor to recognize him as the July Veteran of the Month. ____________________”
“He quickly deployed to Vietnam, where he spent the next 2 years in the fight against communism in Southeast Asia. Upon returning home, he married his wife of 54 years, Sandra, and relocated back to Cullman where they have spent the last five decades working and raising their family. Leo remained in the [[Page S3738]] Army, eventually transitioning to the National Guard, while keeping up two to three other full-time jobs. He deployed a second time in the early 2000s to Afghanistan, where he served as a platoon sergeant, sharing this same sense of purpose with those in his company. From Alabama to Vietnam to Afghanistan, Leo has made the Yellowhammer State proud. Now, he stays involved in the Cullman community through his membership at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church and his local VFW Post.”
“Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 113 (Monday, July 13, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 113 (Monday, July 13, 2026)] [Senate] [Pages S3737-S3738] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] TRIBUTE TO SERGEANT FIRST CLASS LEO FINN Mr. TUBERVILLE. Mr. President, the Book of Proverbs tells us that ``without a vision, people perish.'' For SGT Leo Finn of Cullman, AL, he has had a clear vision for his life from day one. Leo feels he was ``born to serve in the military'' and spent 36 years serving our country in the Army and Army National Guard. Leo's conviction to serve has been an asset to our country during some of the most troubling times, including the Vietnam war and War on Terror. Shortly after finishing college in Cullman, Leo enlisted in the Army.”
“The VA challenges across the board, from overseeing simple things like safety and access of care, are essential. And it is not--not--by having more people. It is by having better people. The VA is not supposed to be a massive bureaucracy. That is not what it was meant to be. It was created to serve our veterans. This resolution being put forward would directly prevent President Trump from carrying out his mandate that the American people gave him. The American people have spoken, and the days of business as usual are over. The VA is going to get better. For these reasons, Madam President, I object. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The objection is heard. The Senator from Vermont.”
“By reducing the numbers of employees, these savings can be redirected to actually providing veterans healthcare and benefits, while still protecting the VA's mission-critical jobs, like doctors, nurses, and claims processors, to do the job it was meant to do. And phasing out nonmission-critical jobs like DEI officers and interior designers, for just a few, is necessary to get this job done. Now, I don't want to oversimplify this. I know these problems at the VA exist. They always have existed. Since 2015, the VA care has been on the Government Accountability Office's list of high risk. That means it has been audited: Are they doing their job? Not very good reviews. We have to do better for our veterans. I come from a military family and have spent many hours in the VA. Some are good; some are not so good. Let's stand up for our veterans.”
“Reserving the right to object, on November 5, President Trump was given a mandate: Get this country straightened out. This included waste, fraud, and abuse in our Federal Government, over all Agencies. The VA is a perfect example. Under President Biden, the VA increased its staff 80,000 employees in 4 years. Let me repeat that: Under President Biden, the VA increased its staff 80,000 people. You would think that this would mean that we would increase the efficiency of our VA 80,000 percent. Unfortunately, that is not the case. Despite the Biden administration ballooning the size of the Department, the VA has nothing to show for it. In fact, wait times and backlogs have gone up. It hasn't worked. So these cuts are not warranted. They are completely necessary.”
“Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. ____________________”
“By the way, just the threat of President Trump's tariffs has already led India, Vietnam, and Israel to proactively drop significantly and lower tariffs against the United States before it has really even started. It doesn't matter if you are a Republican or a Democrat; we should all be united in wanting economic policies that put American farmers, producers, businesses, and manufacturers first. So, Mr. President, for that reason, I object. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard. The Senator from Oregon.”
“The party needs to continue, but all the other countries that have been built off the American taxpayers, such as the Middle East, such as Europe, such as China, they need to start bringing gifts to the party because the American taxpayer can't afford it any longer. We are $37 trillion in debt, and the only way to pay that down is to force other people to help us. The American taxpayer can't afford it. As a result, American jobs have been sent overseas because of all the domestic problems that we are having for labor, for things that stand out for our manufacturers. We have to get manufacturing back in this country. The days are over. President Trump is 100 percent committed, folks--100 percent. He is going to do whatever it takes to usher in a golden age for the American economy.”
“Vietnam is dumping billions--I repeat, billions--of pounds of catfish, and India is dumping billions of pounds of shrimp every year into U.S. markets, flooding the markets and reducing the price for our quality domestic products. It is devastating. We need to put a reciprocal tariff on these countries to protect our American producers. I get calls every day. Whether it is cabinets, whether it is produce, whether it is fish, it makes no difference. Our people are going broke. I recognize that tariff actions may cause reciprocal tariffs from other countries. We need to take that in stride. In this country, we had a party for 249 years. The United States has put that party on.”
“Reserving the right to object. The media, for some reason, is in full meltdown mode after President Trump declared today ``Liberation Day.'' Only my Democratic colleagues and the media, the globalist media, would find a reason to be mad about that. I am sadly convinced that my colleagues and the woke media would rather President Trump fail than achieve a goal to help the United States of America and the taxpayers. President Trump's views on tariffs, they aren't complicated. He believes, as I do, that America has been ripped off by unfair trade deals for decades and simply wants a level playing field. We have to change directions. What we are doing is not working. U.S. catfish and shrimp producers have faced some of the worst blows, for example.”
