Mr. Speaker, as co-chair of the Congressional Slovak Caucus, I rise today to recognize Slovakia's Constitution Day, marking 33 years as a sovereign state. The U.S.-Slovakia relationship rests on shared democratic values and security interests. Today, Slovakia is a vital U.S. partner and NATO ally, but this friendship began more than a century ago. During World War I, the United States stood with Slovak's democratic aspirations and later welcomed the creation of an independent Slovakia in 1993.

Mr. Speaker, I also rise in support of my bill, H.R. 8278. Across the country, banks and credit unions are using innovative technology to deliver better products and services for their customers. For example, banks in Northeast Indiana are using tools like artificial intelligence and real-time data analytics to spot fraud faster, better manage risk, and enhance the banking experience for Hoosiers. But too often, the regulators charged with overseeing and supervising these institutions still rely on outdated IT infrastructure from a predigital era.
Mr. Chairman, I thank the chairman of the Budget Committee for this strong resolution. Mr. Chairman, I rise today in support of the House budget resolution. This framework is an important step of protecting our elections as well as supporting our troops. As Members of Congress, we have a responsibility to the American people to safeguard the electoral process. Yet, the Senate has been unable to do so. Over 80 percent of Americans agree that you must show proof of citizenship and ID to vote, and this budget framework moves us closer to enacting these reforms.
