             DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2005

  The Committee resumed its sitting.


             Amendment Offered by Ms. Jackson-Lee of Texas

  Ms. JACKSON-LEE of Texas. Mr. Chairman, I offer an amendment.
  The Clerk read as follows:

       Amendment offered by Ms. Jackson-Lee of Texas:
        Page 33, line 19, after the dollar amount insert the 
     following: ``(reduced by $10,000,000)''.
        Page 35, lines 20 and 21, after the dollar amounts insert 
     the following: ``(increased by $10,000,000)''.

  Ms. JACKSON-LEE of Texas (during the reading). Mr. Chairman, I ask 
unanimous consent that the amendment be considered as read and printed 
in the Record.
  The CHAIRMAN. Is there objection to the request of the gentlewoman 
from Texas?
  There was no objection.
  Ms. JACKSON-LEE of Texas. Mr. Chairman, to the chairman of the 
subcommittee, first of all, let me add my appreciation as well for the 
years of service that we can count on Members with his kind of 
commitment to do their very best, and we thank him very much. As usual 
as well, let me add my appreciation to the gentleman from Pennsylvania 
(Mr. Murtha), who has not only been both committed and dedicated with 
his expertise but has been forthright in some of the very difficult 
times that we have faced over the last 2 years.
  9/11 changed America. It changed the way we wage wars. It changed the 
way we dealt with conflicts. And as we have seen over the last 2 years, 
it seemed the number of service personnel that we have utilized in 
conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq in particular. Over the last year, we 
have seen a number of statistics that frighten and concern us.

[[Page H4708]]

One, the question and debate about whether or not we need more 
personnel both in Afghanistan and Iraq, continuing debate about whether 
we should have a draft or continue in the volunteer army as we have, 
the continuing debate about Reservists and National Guard.
  But one thing glares very loudly, and that is the high degree of 
suicides in the war of Iraq, the terrible tragedies that have occurred 
in some of our Reservists or returning soldiers who have come home.
  Mr. MURTHA. Mr. Chairman, will the gentlewoman yield?
  Ms. JACKSON-LEE of Texas. I yield to the gentleman from Pennsylvania.
  Mr. MURTHA. Mr. Chairman, we know she has been at the forefront of 
this issue. We know that so many service people have been affected by 
the fact they have been overseas, and then they come home, and in the 
bill last year we said when they come home, each person has to be 
counseled. We found that they have not been counseled. The gentlewoman 
from Connecticut (Ms. DeLauro) has some language, which the chairman 
accepted, in mental health and the same type of thing. What the 
gentlewoman is trying to do we agree with completely. If the 
gentlewoman will withdraw her amendment, we will do everything we can 
to make sure this gets done.
  Ms. JACKSON-LEE of Texas. Mr. Chairman, reclaiming my time, let me 
thank him very much.
  As I was saying, the number of suicides and the number of family 
incidences that have occurred by our Reservists and others indicate, 
Mr. Chairman, that this need for mental health services is very 
important. I would only say that representing a veterans hospital, I 
can assure him that the need for increased dollars there be to treat 
veterans is important. I would look forward then to working with him on 
the mental health resources. I appreciate the language that has been 
put on by the gentlewoman from Connecticut (Ms. DeLauro).
  As a Chair of the Children's Caucus, let me say that we have dealt 
with mental health issues. What greater population is impacted than 
families? Women and children were impacted by this when returning. 
Soldiers come home, and might I say women, men, and children because, 
as we know, men and women come home from the conflict.
  I would like to be able to withdraw this amendment with the 
understanding, of course, and working with the chairman on this idea 
that mental health is part of defense, mental health for our personnel 
is part of defense, and I hope that we will be able to work on adding 
new resources for that.
  Mr. Chairman, I ask unanimous consent to withdraw the amendment.
  The CHAIRMAN. Is there objection to the request of the gentlewoman 
from Texas?
  There was no objection.


             Amendment Offered by Ms. Jackson-Lee of Texas

  Ms. JACKSON-LEE of Texas. Mr. Chairman, I offer an amendment.
  The Clerk read as follows:

       Amendment offered by Ms. Jackson-Lee of Texas:
       Page 33, line 19, insert after the dollar amount the 
     following: ``(reduced by $10,000,000)''.
       Page 129, line 7, insert after the dollar amount the 
     following: ``(increased by $10,000,000)''.

  Ms. JACKSON-LEE of Texas. Mr. Chairman, this issue speaks 
particularly to comments made earlier on the floor today, and I again 
add my appreciation to the chairman of the Defense Subcommittee of the 
Committee on Appropriations and as well the ranking member, and I add 
my appreciation to the Foreign Operations, Export Financing and Related 
Programs Subcommittee. All of them worked very hard on this issue, and 
that is of course the terrible tragedy that is going on in Darfur in 
Sudan. We do know that right now there are negotiations and a final 
peace treaty dealing with the western part of Sudan. There are 
negotiations and settlement going on in Kenya. But we also recognize 
those of us who are concerned on human rights and the needs of children 
around the world of the terrible tragedy and displacement of the black 
Muslims in the Sudan.
  Four hundred thousand moving to Chad; some 30,000 a day dying. We 
appreciate the $95 million that has been placed in this defense bill, 
but let me add why I would like to add the extra $10 million.
  We know that the Sudan is also where al Qaeda is both lodged and 
festering. We also know that Sudan is a country that has faced 
terrorism and has the elements of terrorists engaged or placed in their 
country. While we try to establish humanitarian needs, I think it is 
important that when we place humanitarian needs and resources there, we 
help fight the terrorists. I want to make sure that we have the 
necessary funds to the very penny to allow for the equipment to come in 
that is necessary for potable water, for the villages that have been 
pillaged and burned to be rebuilt, for the security forces to be there.
  This is a crisis, and it is interesting to note that while we are 
settling one aspect, we are in the crises in the eastern part of Sudan. 
That is what these resources are for, and I would hope that my 
colleagues will look favorably on an additional increase of dollars 
that would take from the resources on the missile defense, which is 
extremely hard and large, to help quell terrorism by going into the 
homesite of al Qaeda and working with those who are trying to survive 
and trying to restore their lives.
  Mr. MURTHA. Mr. Chairman, will the gentlewoman yield?
  Ms. JACKSON-LEE of Texas. I yield to the gentleman from Pennsylvania.
  Mr. MURTHA. Mr. Chairman, we certainly appreciate what she is saying. 
We will take a look at it in conference, and I hope that the 
gentlewoman would withdraw this amendment, but we will certainly take a 
look at it.
  I see exactly what she is talking about and we have that problem. 
Sometimes we put humanitarian aid, and we do not have the resources to 
get it to the people who really need it, and al Qaeda and the 
terrorists actually use the money to their benefit. So I appreciate 
what she is saying, and we will certainly take a look at this in 
conference.
  Ms. JACKSON-LEE of Texas. Mr. Chairman, I thank the gentleman for his 
response.
  Reclaiming my time, as the chairman well knows, Sudan has been a 
hosting place for terrorists, but we are trying to help solve that 
problem in Darfur, and I want to make sure that we have all the 
resources we need.
  Mr. LEWIS of California. Mr. Chairman, will the gentlewoman yield?
  Ms. JACKSON-LEE of Texas. I yield to the gentleman from California.
  Mr. LEWIS of California. Mr. Chairman, we had quite a discussion in 
the full committee regarding this matter. The problem in Sudan is very 
real, and we are going to do everything we can to work with the 
gentlewoman. I appreciate not just her expressing her concern but 
helping us with this very serious difficulty.
  Ms. JACKSON-LEE of Texas. Mr. Chairman, I thank both the chairman and 
the ranking member for their comments.
  I also want to make mention my greatest appreciation for the Foreign 
Operations, Export Financing and Related Programs Subcommittee and note 
that the Members that were already mentioned on the floor of the House 
have worked on this issue. I add my appreciation with that and being 
able to work with the conference committee, recognizing that all is not 
well in Sudan, all is not well with the government, and nothing is 
perfect, but that if we can be one small measure of fighting against 
terrorism but helping innocent people, we should do so. With that, and 
working with the conference committee and the ranking member and the 
chairman, I will withdraw this amendment.
  Mr. Chairman, I rise today to introduce an amendment calling for an 
extra $10,000,000 in funds to be provided to the ``International 
Disaster and Famine Assistance'' Account. I request this increase for 
one simple reason, I feel we need more funds set aside for potential 
international catastrophes or famines. Although the current allocation 
of $70,000,000 is noble, I feel more can and should be done.
  We as a nation are blessed with many gifts and attributes. We live in 
a safe and stable environment where freedom is cherished. We as 
Americans are immensely fortunate to live where we do. But we must not 
take for granted all the wonderful things provided for us. We must not 
forget that there are others in this world that are not as fortunate as 
we are. There are others in this world that do not live in a society of 
peace and security. We must be cognizant of those who are less 
fortunate.

[[Page H4709]]

  I feel that we, as the most advanced nation in the world, have some 
sort of obligation to help those around us who have fallen on hard 
times. At certain times a nation or a region faces such disastrous 
circumstances that it is unable to provide its citizens the means to 
survive. In times such as this we have an absolute obligation to lend a 
helping hand and alleviate the pain and suffering of these peoples. And 
this is the very obligation that the ``International Disaster and 
Famine Relief'' account was set up to fulfill. And I repeat, I do 
praise this account.
  Unfortunately, I feel the current allocation of funding might not be 
sufficient to accomplish our goal. I fear that if the current crises in 
Chad and Sudan do not improve, or worsen, the current level of funding 
might not be able to handle another large scale crisis development. We 
must increase funding for this account so that we are able to support 
the crises in Sudan, Chad, and other unforeseen events.
  My amendment would pay for this increase by decreasing funds from the 
Research, Development, Test and Evaluation Defense-Wide account by the 
equal amount, offsetting all expenses. Opponents of my amendment will 
argue that I am tapping into our Military's vital Research and 
Development funds and weakening our future national defense and 
security. They will argue that we must make every effort to ensure that 
our military has the newest, most effective technology in the world. 
And I agree with them in principle.
  We as a nation must ensure our survival, through diplomacy, through 
economic force, and if necessary through military might. But we must 
also prioritize our spending. My amendment will take $10,000,000 out of 
the account that funds research as the Star Wars program. It is in my 
opinion that our money is much better spent alleviating international 
disaster and famines than research a program such as Star Wars that 
shows almost no chance of success. We have a choice; help alleviate 
famine in the world or fund nonsensical research programs that will 
amount to no more than a waste of money. My amendment would help to 
ensure that we have plenty of resources to help alleviate international 
disaster and famines. Please support the Jackson-Lee amendment.
  Mr. Chairman, I ask unanimous consent to withdraw the amendment.
  The CHAIRMAN. Is there objection to the request of the gentlewoman 
from Texas?
  There was no objection.

  Mr. LEWIS of California (during the reading). Mr. Chairman, I ask 
unanimous consent that the remainder of the bill through Page 138, Line 
11 be considered as read, printed in the

[[Page H4722]]

Record, and open to amendment at any point.
  The CHAIRMAN. Is there objection to the request of the gentleman from 
California?
  There was no objection.
  The CHAIRMAN. Are there any amendments to that portion of the bill?


                    Amendment Offered by Mr. Inslee

  Mr. INSLEE. Mr. Chairman, I offer an amendment.
  The Clerk read as follows:

       Amendment offered by Mr. Inslee:
       At the end of the bill, add the following new title:

                 TITLE X--ADDITIONAL GENERAL PROVISIONS

       Sec. 10001. None of the funds appropriated by this Act may 
     be used to waive or modify regulations promulgated under 
     chapter 43, 71, 75, or 77 of title 5, United States Code.

  Mr. INSLEE. Mr. Chairman, this amendment addresses the clear American 
values of making sure that the 700,000 men and women who are so ably 
performing their duties today as part of our war against terrorism as 
civilian employees at the Department of Defense retain their American 
rights of collective bargaining, their American rights of due process, 
their American rights of an appeal if they have been abused on the job, 
their American rights to be treated based on merit in the performance 
of their jobs rather than on politics and patronage.

                              {time}  1615

  Our amendment, quite simply, assures that no money will be spent in 
this bill to deprive them of those statutorily guaranteed rights that 
we have built up on a bipartisan basis over the last several decades. 
This will assure that that scaffolding that provides those 700,000 
Americans with that protection will not be stripped away.
  Why is this important? This issue became paramount to me when I 
welcomed the USS Vincent back from the Afghan theater. The gentleman 
from Washington (Mr. Dicks) and I helicoptered out to it, it was quite 
an experience as she came back in the Straits of Juan de Fuca, and we 
talked to the sailors on board.
  The sailors told us they had launched and recovered I think over 
10,000 sorties and had not lost a pilot, and that the reason they had 
done that had been because of the exquisitely professional performance 
of a lot of people who are of those 700,000 civilian employees of the 
Department of Defense, and particularly those of the Puget Sound Naval 
Shipyard. The sailors, the people who were out in harm's way within 
firing range, told me not to forget the people who were on the defense 
team in the civilian sector of the Department of Defense.
  Unfortunately, unless this amendment passes, those 700,000 patriots 
stand in the fire line of losing their collective bargaining rights, 
losing their right to an appeal, losing their right to due process and 
losing their right to have their performance judged on their merit.
  This happened because, unfortunately, during our rush to get the 
defense authorization bill through, there was a provision in good faith 
that was inserted that gave largely unfettered discretion to the 
Department of Defense to go forth and create a new personnel system.
  We are always open to reform and new ideas, but, unfortunately, what 
has transpired at the first cut by the Department of Defense, they have 
proposed plans that would essentially gut the real basic, fundamental 
right to collective bargaining in our system, a collective bargaining 
system that actually has been successful in maintaining the morale of 
these 700,000 patriots who are instrumental in our defense efforts 
today.
  What we have seen are proposals to essentially gut that by allowing 
the Department of Defense to unilaterally sort of jam down the throats 
of those 700,000 people whatever they decide to do without 
collaboration and without collective bargaining. That would be a 
mistake. It would be a mistake in not recognizing the American value of 
collective bargaining, and it would be a mistake to damage the morale 
of this workforce, and we are urging my colleagues not to allow that.
  Secondly, we do not want to allow what I consider to be a real civil 
right, and that is a right that when you are on the job working for the 
DOD, if you are going to be sanctioned, if you are going to be fired, 
if you are going to be sent down to the bilge as punishment, you ought 
to have some basic due process rights. You ought to have it in writing 
what you did wrong, you ought to have a right to a written decision on 
your appeal, even you ought to have a right to have an appeal, if I 
dare say, where you have a lawyer present when your job is on the line.
  Those civil rights are in jeopardy if we do not pass this amendment, 
and the 700,000 people who care about that know those rights are in 
jeopardy.
  We have already developed a very successful appeals system to handle 
this issue. Why should we go forth and create a whole new system to be 
a duplication of our existing system? It is not necessary.
  I would like to answer four kind of suggestions why this amendment is 
necessary. Some of my colleagues have suggested this is not a good 
idea. They have had four critiques. I would like to answer those during 
this debate.
  First, it has been suggested that the 700,000 employees that are 
going to be protected by my amendment do not want to be protected by my 
amendment. Not a well-put argument, when virtually every union that is 
elected by these employees wholeheartedly supports my amendment, the 
Association of Government Employees, the Federation of Teachers.
  By the way, teachers, it was said they are sort of un-American, they 
cannot form a union unless my amendment passes. That does not make any 
sense at all. Teachers ought to be able to form unions. So the 
employees think this is a good idea.
  Second, this will allow consideration of alternatives; it simply will 
not allow the pulling of the trigger. DOD will be able to aim, they 
will be able to load up, but they will not be able to pull the trigger 
on this until we look at this issue.
  The CHAIRMAN. The time of the gentleman from Washington (Mr. Inslee) 
has expired.
  (By unanimous consent, Mr. Inslee was allowed to proceed for 2 
additional minutes.)
  Mr. INSLEE. Mr. Chairman, my point I want to make is this does not 
stop DOD in their tracks from at least thinking about this issue. They 
will be allowed to consider this issue, but they will not be able to 
actually pull the trigger to waive these collective bargaining rights, 
to waive these appeal rights, to waive these due process rights.
  Third: One friend on the other side of the aisle suggested that this 
amendment is a bad idea, because now we are in the age of faxes and 
computers and this is a new day and age, so we should give unfettered 
discretion to the Department of Defense to have a new personnel system 
without statutory rules.
  Well, we can use faxes and computers and e-mail and answering 
machines, but we need to have a system of law to govern what due 
process rights the Congress has a role in deciding. These are rights 
that belong to individuals that are held very dearly by our employees, 
and we can use computers and faxes, but we need to do in a method that 
is rules-based.
  We got into a little trouble, we got into a little trouble when the 
Department of Defense decided they could sort of ignore this rules-
based Geneva treaty system, because they thought they should just have 
unilateral discretion in deciding how to handle some of these issues. 
That was kind of a sort of suggestion that we need rules.
  Now, I am not suggesting our employees are going to be tortured, 
thank goodness that is not going to be the case, but we do need a 
rules-based employment system, and we cannot allow unilateral decision 
making by the Department of Defense.
  The fourth issue I want to make, this is not going to stop reform. We 
need to work on it in Congress. I think we have seen the whites of the 
eyes that this has been a very, very controversial issue that has 
inflamed the 700,000 people that we need to build morale on.
  Mr. LEWIS of California. Mr. Chairman, it is with great reluctance 
that I rise in opposition to this amendment.
  Mr. Chairman, what the gentleman is discussing here is an important 
policy question which was discussed thoroughly in the authorizing 
committee last year. The policy was established. If the gentleman had a 
problem with that

[[Page H4723]]

policy development, I regret he did not come to talk with us either at 
our markup process in the subcommittee or beyond that.
  But it is clear to anybody who would look at the personnel 
difficulties within this huge department, the Department of Defense, 
there are needs for reform and change within this great arena. The 
authorizing committee did address that question.
  The gentleman from Washington (Mr. Inslee) suggests he does not stop 
the Department in its tracks, he just stops the money from flowing, 
which is somewhere close to my track, at any rate.
  It seems to me that without the ability to change labor management 
relations within the Department, the Department will be faced with 
negotiating all personnel policies with over 1,366 unions, and change 
is not going to take place under those circumstances.
  A new adverse action and appeals system would allow the Department to 
take more prompt action on employees who are not performing on their 
jobs or facing disciplinary action based on misconduct. The current 
appeals system is lengthy and demands an overburden of proof before 
management can take action. The new system that the authorizing 
committee has gone forward with would establish a new process, while 
maintaining employee rights to fair consideration.
  The bottom line is that DOD should oppose this amendment, and we 
oppose it as well.
  Mr. Chairman, I appreciate looking forward to working with the 
gentleman, but I wish we had had a chance to do so before today.
  Mr. VAN HOLLEN. Mr. Chairman, I rise in support of the amendment.
  Mr. Chairman, I am proud to join the gentleman from Washington (Mr. 
Inslee) in offering this amendment. As we have heard, last year, tucked 
into the 2004 defense authorization bill was a provision that gave the 
Bush administration, and any other future administration, Republican or 
Democrat, a virtually blank check to rewrite the rules and protections 
that govern 700,000 civil servants in the Department of Defense. What 
that provision did was strip Pentagon civilians of the statutory 
protections we have had on a bipartisan basis for decades.
  We in this Congress, we in this House, have an obligation to ensure 
that those civilian employees of the Defense Department are treated 
fairly and treated with respect, and we should not surrender that 
authority and those obligations to any administration, Republican or 
Democrat. Yet that is what we did last year in the authorization bill.
  While the Committee on Armed Services may have considered this issue, 
the fact of the matter is the full House has never had an opportunity 
to consider this issue, because the Committee on Rules did not make in 
order an amendment on exactly this question. So we did not have an 
opportunity to debate this last year in the House. This is the first 
time we now have an opportunity to address this issue straight on.
  The testimony we have heard from the administration officials over 
the years, Republican and Democrat, has been clear, that our national 
security depends on a strong partnership between the military part of 
the Pentagon and the civilian civil servants. Taking away the basic 
protections that our civil servants enjoy with the Department of 
Defense would damage that partnership, it would hurt morale, and it 
sends a terrible message to the many men and women who we entrust with 
important national security work.
  Why should we give the executive branch the authority to eliminate 
rules that protect employees from discrimination based on political 
affiliation? Do we not want people to exercise independent political 
judgment and not fear political repercussions? Why should we give the 
Executive Branch the authority to rewrite and eliminate rules of due 
process that protect employees in certain situations? Why should we 
give the executive branch the authority to eliminate the requirement 
that DOD bargain in good faith with their employees?
  Now, last year, many in the administration said, ``don't worry, we 
are not going to take advantage of those authorities. Trust us. We will 
not go that far.''
  Well, in February we saw the first write of the rules, and the fact 
of the matter is on both sides of the aisle, many people said, wait a 
minute. When we signed up for this, we did not think you were going to 
exercise your authority in this way in terms of taking away certain 
good faith bargaining rights.
  So that is what this amendment is about. As my colleague from 
Washington said, this does not throw out all the authorities. What we 
are saying is let us take a year, let us take a time out, and let us 
adopt the adage that many have shown is good advice, ``trust, but 
verify.'' Why should we provide a blank check?
  Let us give the administration an opportunity now to come before the 
Congress to show us exactly what rules they want, and we can have an 
opportunity to take a look at them, rather than giving them a blank 
check in advance and then being totally at their mercy as to what they 
put in effect.
  So this is a common sense provision. I believe it is a bipartisan 
decision. Let us let the administration tell us what they plan to do, 
and, if we think it makes sense, we can move forward on it at that 
time.
  Trust, but verify.
  Mr. DICKS. Mr. Chairman, I move to strike the last word.
  Mr. Chairman, I rise in strong support of the Inslee-Van Hollen 
amendment. Last year, Congress gave the Department of Defense the 
authority to design a new civilian personnel system for its employees 
as part of the defense authorization bill. I opposed that part of the 
bill because it included a blanket waiver for the new system from all 
of the worker protections which Congress has wisely enacted through the 
years. Unfortunately, the House was denied a chance to vote directly on 
these changes in 2004, I must assume because of fear about how the vote 
would turn out.
  Now the Department of Defense is designing the new system, and the 
initial proposal published by the Department this spring, as mentioned 
by others, has confirmed every fear voiced by members of the House, 
such as myself and the gentleman from Washington (Mr. Inslee) and the 
gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Van Hollen) about the new system. The 
initial proposal produced by the Department would have trampled worker 
rights in a wanton and deliberate fashion.
  More recently, Navy Secretary Gordon England has been assigned to 
work this issue for DOD, and he has pledged to work with DOD unions and 
employee organizations to design a fairer system. I am strongly 
encouraged by his involvement, but I also believe that DOD must design 
a new system which is consistent with strong worker protections. This 
guarantee is all that the Inslee-Van Hollen amendment would add to the 
bill before us today.
  Furthermore, there is an important monetary reason for supporting 
this amendment which is appropriate on the bill which deals with the 
defense budget. DOD has proposed creating within the Department of 
Defense two massive new bureaucracies which would duplicate the work of 
the existing Federal labor relations authority and the Merit System 
Protection Board. I believe that it would be irresponsible in the 
extreme for this committee to divert funding from badly needed 
warfighting priorities just so that the Department of Defense can 
duplicate the functions of independent government agencies under the 
control of the Secretary of Defense.
  This harms national security at the same time that it undermines 
worker rights.
  For all these reasons, Mr. Chairman, I ask that my colleagues support 
the Inslee-Van Hollen amendment and put the new personnel system at DOD 
back on the right track.
  Mr. HOYER. Mr. Chairman, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. DICKS. I yield to the gentleman from Maryland, the distinguished 
Democratic whip.
  Mr. HOYER. Mr. Chairman, I thank my friend for yielding. Rather than 
prolong the debate, I want to adapt that which has been put forward by 
the gentleman from Washington (Mr. Inslee) and the gentleman from 
Maryland (Mr. Van Hollen) in sponsoring this, and adopt the gentleman's 
remarks as well, and simply say that I think the gentleman from 
Maryland (Mr. Van Hollen) and the gentleman from Washington (Mr. 
Inslee) and the gentleman

[[Page H4724]]

from Washington (Mr. Dicks) have put their finger on it.

                              {time}  1630

  We abrogated essentially laws, statutes passed by the Congress, 
signed by the Presidents of the United States, without reviewing the 
changes that would be put before us and would impact on our Federal 
employees. That is all I think the sponsors are asking for the 
opportunity to do, and I would hope that the Members on both sides of 
the aisle would adopt this amendment, proceed in that fashion over the 
next year, and have the opportunity to review the changes that are 
suggested.
  I thank the gentleman from Washington State, who has been a giant on 
behalf of Federal employees during our careers here, and I thank him 
for yielding.
  Mr. LEWIS of California. Mr. Chairman, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. DICKS. I yield to the gentleman from California.
  Mr. LEWIS of California. Mr. Chairman, I appreciate the gentleman 
yielding. I have not had a chance to talk to the gentleman from 
Pennsylvania (Mr. Murtha) about this, but I believe that the gentleman 
from Washington State is still a member of the subcommittee; is he not?
  Mr. DICKS. Yes, I am.
  Mr. LEWIS of California. Well, I really look forward to discussing 
this with the gentleman personally before we come to the floor.
  Mr. DICKS. Mr. Chairman, reclaiming my time, we did have a proposal 
in our written document that went to the chairman that laid out a 
proposal, a different approach to this; and it would have just 
protected the public shipyards, both on the east coast, the west coast, 
and Hawaii.
  Mr. LEWIS of California. Mr. Chairman, if the gentleman would yield 
further, I do very much appreciate the opportunity to discuss these 
matters with my colleague, sometimes privately, sometimes publicly.
  Mr. DICKS. And I appreciate the gentleman's willingness to discuss 
this issue. I know of his concern for government workers, because he 
has many in his own district; and I know that he will treat them as 
fairly as he has always treated me.
  Mr. MURTHA. Mr. Chairman, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. DICKS. I yield to the gentleman from Pennsylvania.
  Mr. MURTHA. Mr. Chairman, I have to oppose this amendment. It has 
just come up at the last minute. As technical as it is, and the 
gentleman talked to me about it and I looked at it, and all of us are 
trying to do the same thing: make sure that we do some reform, but that 
we do not go too far. I think Gordon England is the right one to look 
at this thing. I know the Defense Department is very nervous about the 
direction they were going at first, and I am afraid this bill will be 
vetoed if it has this language in it.
  Mr. DICKS. Mr. Chairman, reclaiming my time, I just mention this to 
my friend from Pennsylvania, that the Steel Workers Union of America is 
strongly in favor of this legislation. They want to see workers 
protected.
  Mr. MURTHA. Mr. Chairman, if the gentleman will further yield, I do 
not doubt they are, and I appreciate their recommendation; but this is 
the wrong approach to it. It just goes a little too far. I think we 
need to work on this kind of thing together. And at the last minute, it 
just makes it hard for us to accept something like this. So I would 
hope we defeat this amendment and try to work something out later on.
  The CHAIRMAN. The time of the gentleman from Washington (Mr. Dicks) 
has expired.
  (By unanimous consent, Mr. Dicks was allowed to proceed for 30 
additional seconds.)
  Mr. DICKS. Mr. Chairman, I would just point out one other thing to my 
distinguished chairman. I had no idea that this amendment would be 
offered on the floor; but once it was, I felt compelled to speak on 
behalf of it.
  Mr. DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Chairman, I move to strike the requisite 
number of words.
  I rise in support of the Inslee-Van Hollen amendment, and I do so 
because the basic rights and freedoms that we are attempting to 
guarantee for these civilian labor forces in DOD are those rights for 
which our military has fought and continues to fight.
  The real reason that we are involved in Iraq and in other places 
throughout the world is to guarantee rights and freedoms for 
individuals. We simply want to guarantee those same rights and freedoms 
for our workforce.
  I was heartened to hear the gentleman from California (Mr. Lewis) 
suggest that perhaps there is a window of opportunity for continuous 
discussion, for continuous interaction. I was pleased to hear the 
ranking member suggest that this is the last minute; and, hopefully, we 
can have continuous discussions over an extended period of time to make 
sure that we can guarantee for our civilian workforce those rights and 
privileges for which our military fights throughout the world.
  So I support this amendment.
  The CHAIRMAN. The question is on the amendment offered by the 
gentleman from Washington (Mr. Inslee).
  The question was taken; and the Chairman announced that the noes 
appeared to have it.
  Mr. INSLEE. Mr. Chairman, I demand a recorded vote, and pending that, 
I make the point of order that a quorum is not present.
  The CHAIRMAN. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings 
on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Washington (Mr. Inslee) 
will be postponed.
  The point of no quorum is considered withdrawn.


                  Amendment Offered by Mr. Strickland

  Mr. STRICKLAND. Mr. Chairman, I offer an amendment.
  The Clerk read as follows:

       Amendment offered by Mr. Strickland:
       At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the 
     following:

                 TITLE X--ADDITIONAL GENERAL PROVISIONS

       Sec. 10001. None of the funds appropriated or otherwise 
     made available by this Act may be used for any plan for 
     compensation of individuals held in military prisons under 
     the control of the United States in Iraq unless the plan 
     includes a provision to address the injuries suffered by the 
     17 citizens of the United States who were held as prisoners 
     of war by the regime of Saddam Hussein during the Persian 
     Gulf War in 1991.

  Mr. STRICKLAND (during the reading). Mr. Chairman, I ask unanimous 
consent that the amendment be considered as read and printed in the 
Record.
  The CHAIRMAN. Is there objection to the request of the gentleman from 
Ohio?
  There was no objection.
  Mr. LEWIS of California. Mr. Chairman, I reserve a point of order on 
the gentleman's amendment.
  Mr. STRICKLAND. Mr. Chairman, I thank the gentleman for reserving a 
point of order.
  Mr. Chairman, I intend to withdraw this amendment; but, first of all, 
I would like to take some moments to speak about it, because I think it 
is an issue that needs to be brought to the attention of this body.
  We all know that during the 1991 Gulf War, Iraq savagely tortured 
American POWs by inflicting beatings, starvation, electric shock, 
whippings, mock executions, threatened castration, broken bones, and 
burst eardrums. These actions were condemned by this Congress on three 
different resolutions.
  In April of 2002, these ex-POWs filed suit against the Iraqi regime 
under the law that this Congress had passed that allowed torture 
victims to file suit against terrorist states. If successful in court, 
these victims are then ensured access to the blocked assets of that 
terrorist state to obtain payment.
  Through their suit, the POWs sought to raise public awareness about 
POWs, to hold Saddam Hussein and his regime accountable, and to deter 
the torture of American servicemen and -women in the future, and to 
obtain compensation for their injuries.
  Last year, a Federal judge ruled in favor of the 17 POWs that filed 
suit. However, the Bush administration has stood in the way of these 
POWs getting the payments awarded them by claiming that the 
compensation would hamper the reconstruction of Iraq. The 
administration even appealed the judgment and spent tax dollars 
fighting the American POWs in court. Sadly, the administration was 
recently successful in overturning the judgment that allowed the 
compensation of these ex-POWs.
  Now, at the same time the administration was opposing these American 
POWs in court, Secretary Rumsfeld testified before the Senate Committee 
on Armed Services saying, ``I am seeking a way to provide appropriate 
compensation'' to the Iraqi detainees at Abu Ghraib prison.

[[Page H4725]]

  So while compensating Iraqi prisoners may be the right thing to do, 
we should not do this at the very same time that we are refusing to 
work with the 17 American POWs who won compensation under a law that 
many of us voted for.
  A newspaper back in Ohio read like this: ``It was the United States 
of America and Saddam Hussein versus American POWs, and the United 
States and Saddam Hussein won.''
  My amendment, if it was not objected to, would prohibit the 
Department of Defense from providing compensation to the Iraqi 
detainees abused at Abu Ghraib until that compensation plan also 
addressed the injuries suffered by the 17 Americans held as prisoners 
of war under the regime of Saddam Hussein during the first Gulf War.
  Now, over on the Senate side, over on the Senate side they passed by 
unanimous consent as a part of the Defense authorization bill language 
identical to the language I have in this amendment. It was offered by 
Senator Reid, and it was co-sponsored by Senator Warner and Senator 
Levin.
  So, Mr. Chairman, although I am withdrawing this amendment due to the 
objection, I would hope that this body would recognize the injustice. 
How can we justify providing compensation to Iraqi POWs and fight the 
compensation for American POWs who were abused in the same way at the 
very same prison?
  So I look forward to working with my colleagues in the days and weeks 
to come. I intend to find some vehicle, some mechanism to make sure 
that this injustice is corrected.
  Mr. Chairman, I withdraw my amendment.
  The CHAIRMAN. Without objection, the amendment is withdrawn.
  There was no objection.
  Mr. STENHOLM. Mr. Chairman, I move to strike the last word.
  Mr. Chairman, as we all know, and certainly the subcommittee is aware 
very strongly, the B-1 bomber is an integral part of our bomber fleet. 
The long-range strike capability of our national defense is enhanced by 
the superior payload capability, speed, and accuracy of this aircraft.
  The Defense authorization and appropriation committees and my good 
friends, the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Murtha), the gentleman 
from Missouri (Mr. Skelton), the gentleman from California. (Mr. 
Hunter), and the gentleman from California (Chairman Lewis), have 
recognized the importance of the B-1 to the Air Force. It performed 
admirably in Afghanistan and Iraq.
  I rise today to discuss provisions in the Defense appropriations and 
authorization bills that address the reinstatement of B-1s to the 
fleet. As a strong supporter of the B-1 and having been closely 
associated with this issue since 1985 when the first B-1 was assigned 
to Dyess Air Force Base, my support is, and always has been, a 
commonsense approach that advocates the best for the Air Force.
  The B-1 fleet was recently reduced to its current size of 60 
aircraft, with assurances that upgrades will be made to the fleet to 
increase mission capability rates, defensive systems, and lethality. I 
supported the Air Force decision in its plan to keep fewer, but top-
quality, mission-capable B-1s.
  The Defense Authorization Act included a provision for $105 million 
to regenerate an additional 10 B-1s above the Air Force recommendation 
to reinstate seven. The Subcommittee on Defense Appropriations brings 
to the floor today a recommendation which follows the Air Force's 
recommendation to regenerate seven aircraft, and also follows the Air 
Force confirmation that additional funding is not needed beyond the $17 
million appropriated for this purpose in fiscal year 2004.
  My concern about the funding for regenerated B-1s is the fact that 
$17 million may not be enough for the seven aircraft that initially 
cost $283 million each. Again, I strongly support the B-1, but also 
strongly support full funding for the entire fleet. If we are going to 
add seven planes, I would like assurances from the chairman and ranking 
member today that they do believe that the Air Force is correct that 
$17 million is sufficient funding to keep 67 planes in the air, flying, 
with the mission that I know that they support.
  Mr. LEWIS of California. Mr. Chairman, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. STENHOLM. I yield to the gentleman from California.
  Mr. LEWIS of California. Mr. Chairman, we understand my colleague's 
concern, and we can tell the gentleman that we believe that there is 
adequate funding.
  Mr. MURTHA. Mr. Chairman, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. STENHOLM. I yield to the gentleman from Pennsylvania.
  Mr. MURTHA. Mr. Chairman, we will make sure there is enough money to 
take care of those airplanes.
  Mr. STENHOLM. Mr. Chairman, I appreciate that. I hope that the 
chairman and ranking member understand the concern here.
  As I said before, I have always followed the recommendations of the 
Air Force. We have some concerns, we are standing down the 13th bomb 
squadron today at Dyess at the same time we got agreement that the 
fleet will receive seven extra planes. That takes operational money. 
That takes manpower. There are some recommendations that are going 
forward that caused this concern, but I do appreciate the reassurances 
of the chairman and the ranking member, and we look forward to working 
with my colleagues to see that the full 67 plane force is, in fact, 
fully funded and operational to do the job that they have been called 
on to do in Iraq and Afghanistan and, hopefully, if called upon again, 
will be able to do as good or a better job.
  Mr. MORAN of Kansas. Mr. Chairman, I move to strike the last word.
  Mr. Chairman, I appreciate the courtesies extended to me by the 
gentleman from California (Mr. Lewis), the chairman.
  I rise to discuss an amendment that under appropriate circumstances, 
if the rules allowed, I would offer today concerning the health care 
services that are being provided to our service men and women.

                              {time}  1645

  In 1997 this Congress passed legislation requiring the Department of 
Defense to conduct predeployment and post-deployment physicals for our 
servicemen and women, and as a member of the House Committee on 
Veterans' Affairs and one who chaired the Committee on Veterans' 
Affairs Subcommittee on Health for a number of years, we looked at this 
issue, and my goal in examining what was going on or not going on was 
based on a concern that we did not want our servicemen and women to 
return to the United States after deployment and incur Persian Gulf War 
syndrome.
  And one of the things we learned from the Persian Gulf War syndrome 
studies was that we needed a baseline to know what our servicemen and 
women encountered, what their health condition was before they departed 
for their deployment and what their physical condition was when they 
returned.
  In 1997, Congress passed legislation requiring the Department of 
Defense to conduct physical examinations upon those servicemen and 
women. I have concerns that those physical examinations are not 
occurring, and in fact, the GAO report that my subcommittee heard 
about, took testimony from the GAO, indicates that someplace between 38 
and 98 percent of the deployed personnel are lacking in one or both of 
those physical examinations.
  Again, this is an issue that I have requested an additional hearing 
from the Committee on Veterans' Affairs. During my term as subcommittee 
chairman, we conducted a series of hearings about the health conditions 
that our servicemen and women were encountering, and believed that it 
is awfully important for these physicals to take place, and it is 
uncertain as to whether they are.
  In fact, in March of this year, the Committee on Government Reform 
Subcommittee on National Security, Emerging Threats and International 
Relations took testimony, and the DOD indicated that servicemen and 
women who answer yes to certain questions on the questionnaire then 
have a referral for additional examinations. That implies to me that 
those who answer no to questions are not receiving those health care 
physical examinations by health care personnel.
  And so the amendment that I am discussing here today would express a 
sense of Congress that the Department of Defense should fully comply 
with section 107(f)(b) of Title 10 of the United States Code relating 
to those

[[Page H4726]]

predeployment and post-deployment medical examinations.
  And, again, I would hope that we could hold the Department of 
Defense's feet to the fire for purposes of protecting the lives and 
safety and the health of our servicemen and women now deployed.
  Mr. HOYER. Mr. Chairman, I move to strike the last word.
  Mr. Chairman, I want to rise and thank the chairman and the ranking 
member for accepting the amendment that I offered in full committee on 
torture, and I want to speak just for a few minutes on that amendment.
  Mr. Chairman, the American people watched with shock and horror, as 
all of us did, as the photos of physical and psychological abuse being 
inflicted upon Iraqi detainees at the hands of U.S. military personnel 
were broadcast for the world to see.
  Many Members of the House have subsequently expressed their outrage, 
frankly, and disgust at the acts of torture that took place at Abu 
Ghraib prison in Iraq.
  Some, Mr. Chairman, believe there has been an overreaction, that we 
are spending too much time on this issue.
  Mr. Chairman, I disagree with that view. We must move beyond the mere 
expressions of outrage, and we must uncover the facts surrounding the 
torture that occurred at Abu Ghraib, and perhaps at other places as 
well.
  Why? To undermine our efforts in Afghanistan and Iraq? Absolutely 
not.
  To in any way cast doubt on the integrity, courage and good conduct 
of the thousands of men and women who wear our uniform? Absolutely not.
  But we must do so, Mr. Chairman, to emphatically affirm the values 
for which we fight. These actions represent a grave breach of decades 
of international and domestic law, and those involved in allowing or in 
creating an atmosphere in which such actions may seem to be condoned 
must be held as accountable as those who perpetrated them.
  Does a 20-year-old army private decide to put a dog leash on a nude 
Iraqi detainee and parade him in front of the others and photograph 
him? I think not.
  Do young military guards decide to release guards on detainees? I 
hope not and I think not.
  Secretary Rumsfeld's recent admission of his own violation of the 
Geneva Convention ordering the secret detention of an Iraqi prisoner 
for 7 months raises serious questions about the extent of the 
coordination of the treatment of prisoners of war and detainees in 
Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay.
  The international reaction to these actions damaged our standing in 
the world. It has undermined our credibility. It has made the already 
difficult job of securing a broader coalition of support in Iraq and 
achieving our objectives in Iraq, which I have consistently supported 
and support to this day, it makes that more difficult, and it has 
increased the danger of Americans in Iraq and around the world.
  While it is true that torture is a clear violation of American and 
international law, that is not the reason that the United States of 
America renounces its use.
  While it is true that torture undermines our credibility and 
increases the danger to any Americans traveling abroad, that is not the 
reason that we renounce its use.
  While it is true that torture produces entirely unreliable 
information, that is not the reason that we renounce its use.
  In fact, in a field manual 3452, a 1992 field manual still in force 
and serves as a basic primer for students and instructors in the army 
that outlines the Army's doctrine for conducting interrogations, it in 
the final analysis says this: Imagine that a technique was being 
applied to American prisoners of war, and ask yourself if it would be 
consistent with U.S. law. If a doubt still remains as to the legality 
of a proposed action, seek a legal opinion from your servicing judge 
advocate.
  In other words, do not do these things if you think they would 
violate U.S. law.
  There is another standard that was set forth in a manual of the Army 
which I thought made a lot of common sense. And it said to them if you 
would not want an American detainee or prisoner treated in the way you 
are treating a prisoner, do not do it.
  Mr. Chairman, the United States of America renounces the use of 
torture and mistreatment of prisoners of war and other detainees 
because it is contrary to the principles upon which the Nation was 
founded, contrary to our commitment to human rights, and contrary to 
the value we place on the dignity of all people.
  The CHAIRMAN. The time of the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Hoyer) has 
expired.
  (By unanimous consent, Mr. Hoyer was allowed to proceed for 1 
additional minute.)
  Mr. HOYER. Torture, Mr. Chairman, is quite simply un-American. It is 
alien to who we are as a people. And where others may seek to 
rationalize its use, we must not. We must make clear to those who are 
watching, both friends and foe, that we do not tolerate the behavior 
that took place, that we will hold accountable all those who are 
responsible. And that it is not now, nor will it be, the policy of this 
great and good Nation to sanction the use of torture.
  Mr. Chairman, today through language that was included in the fiscal 
2005 defense appropriation act for which, again, I thank the chairman 
and ranking member, we again take an essential step by reaffirming that 
torture is, in fact, illegal under American and international law, that 
it is not consistent with American values, and that it is not a policy 
accepted by the United States of America.
  The CHAIRMAN. Are there any further amendments to this portion of the 
bill?
  The Clerk will report the final two lines.
  The Clerk read as follows:

       This Act may be cited as the ``Department of Defense 
     Appropriations Act, 2005''.


                    Amendment Offered by Mr. Inslee

  The CHAIRMAN. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, proceedings will 
now resume on the request for a recorded vote on the amendment by the
