House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., has released the legislative text of three foreign aid bills covering Ukraine, Israel and the Indo-Pacific.

The $60.84 billion Ukraine bill can be read in full here.

The $26.38 billion Israel bill can be read in full here.

The $8.12 billion Indo-Pacific bill can be read in full here.

The Senate passed a $95 billion supplemental foreign aid bill covering Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan in mid-February but Johnson is taking a different approach. Johnson has said he wants the House to vote on separate pieces of foreign aid legislation rather than hold a vote on the full Senate package.

Johnson said the separate foreign aid bills "will be brought to the floor under a structured rule that will allow for an amendment process, alongside a fourth bill that includes the REPO Act, TikTok bill, sanctions and other measures to confront Russia, China, and Iran."

He also said that the House Rules Committee plans to post text of a border security bill that "includes the core components of H.R.2, under a separate rule that will allow for amendments."
