Today, the House Rules Committee, chaired by Representative Virginia Foxx, is considering three pieces of legislation.

The first Undersea Cable Protection Act would amend the National Marine Sanctuaries Act to prohibit the requirement for reauthorization for installation, operation, maintenance, repair, or recovery of undersea fiber optic cables in a national marine sanctuary if a federal or state agency has previously authorized it.

The Law-Enforcement Innovate to De-Escalate Act seeks to modernize federal firearms laws to account for advancements in technology and less-than-lethal weapons. The Securing America’s Critical Minerals Act would amend the Department of Energy Organization Act to secure the supply of critical energy resources.

As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…

• For Chair Foxx and members of the House Rules Committee to be discerning in their consideration of the legislation.
• For President Trump and members of his administration as they continue to monitor Operation Epic Fury.
• For Secretary of State Rubio as he heads diplomatic efforts to bring an end to global conflicts.
