Referred to the House Committee on Financial Services.
This bill directs Congress to award a single Congressional Gold Medal to Jens Stoltenberg in recognition of his leadership of NATO and contributions to the Alliance’s security, unity, and defense.

Progressive cautious about symbolism endorsing higher defense spending.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a conventional and well-structured commemorative statute.
