     section, supervision and administration costs include all in-
     house Government cost.
       Sec. 9013. Amounts appropriated or otherwise made available 
     in this title are designated as making appropriations for 
     contingency operations related to the global war on terrorism 
     pursuant to section 402 of H. Con. Res. 95 (109th Congress), 
     the concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2006.
       This Act may be cited as the ``Department of Defense 
     Appropriations Act, 2006''.

  The committee amendment in the nature of a substitute was agreed to.
  Mr. STEVENS. Along with the Senator from Hawaii, I am pleased to 
present the Defense appropriations bill for 2006. This bill reflects 
the bipartisan approach that my cochairman, Senator Inouye, and I have 
always maintained regarding the Department of Defense. It is, once 
again, a pleasure

[[Page S10684]]

to work with him on this bill and with other members of our 
subcommittee and the full Appropriations Committee through this 
process.
  This bill was reported out of the full Appropriations Committee 
yesterday by a unanimous vote of 28 to 0. We have worked hard to make 
certain the bill reaches out and is understood, is appreciated, and 
supported by every member of our Appropriations Committee.
  As we will be debating this bill, there are hundreds of thousands of 
men and women in uniform forward deployed and serving our country in 
over 120 countries and also throughout the United States. Their bravery 
and dedication to our country are extraordinary, and their sacrifices 
do not go unnoticed.
  Each year, the Department of Defense faces critical challenges. The 
Department must ensure that we can maintain high levels of readiness 
and we are able to respond to the call of duty wherever and whenever it 
is necessary. And it must ensure we are simultaneously invested in the 
resources which will enable us to meet the threats of tomorrow.
  This bill, which Senator Inouye and I will present I hope today, 
reflects a prudent balance among those challenges. It recommends $440.2 
billion in budget authority for the Department of Defense. This funding 
includes $50 billion for contingency operations related to the global 
war on terrorism pursuant to section 402 of the concurrent budget 
resolution on the budget for 2006.
  While this bill is a $7 billion reduction from that provided in the 
President's budget request for 2006, it still meets the Defense 
Subcommittee's allocation for both budget authority and outlays, and it 
is consistent with the objectives of this administration and the 
recommendations contained in the Senate national defense authorization 
bill for 2006 as it was reported.
  We have sought to recommend a balanced bill to the Senate. We believe 
this bill addresses key requirements for readiness, quality of life, 
and transformation of the force. This bill will honor our commitment to 
our Armed Forces. It helps ensure they will continue to have first-rate 
training, modernized equipment, and quality infrastructure. It also 
provides the funds needed to continue the global war on terrorism.
  Mr. President, yesterday Senator Inouye and I met with GEN John 
Abizaid, Commander of the U.S. Central Command, and GEN George Casey, 
the Commander of the multinational force in Iraq, to discuss the global 
war on terrorism and the current situation in Iraq.
  The central command, with its responsibility for the Middle East, the 
Horn of Africa, parts of south Asia, and central Asia, has the lead in 
fighting this war on terrorism. It is a war that some envision may last 
for several generations. I am not talking about the war in Iraq. I am 
talking about the overall war on terrorism. And I repeat, we are 
informed that is a war that many envision will last for generations.
  The terrorists we face view this war as a worldwide crusade for their 
ideology, a war that they are willing to win at all costs, at least try 
to win at all costs. In fact, they see that inflicting suffering on 
innocent civilians furthers their cause. In my view, the United States 
has to lead the world in fighting this terrorist movement. We must 
remain resilient. We must set the example. We must stay the course.
  Our meeting with Generals Abizaid and Casey was both insightful and 
disturbing, but I am convinced our country has entrusted this global 
war on terrorism to two very capable leaders. They understand the 
challenges we face and are committed to successfully prosecuting this 
war on terrorism.
  We also talked about the strategy in Iraq and agreed that building 
local Iraq military capacity is a central tenet to our success there. 
General Abizaid and General Casey informed us that Iraqi security 
forces are already in charge of large parts of Iraq. Fourteen of the 
country's 18 provinces are now in charge of their own force.
  Last year, before the Iraqi elections, we deployed an additional 
12,000 troops to maintain stability throughout the countryside. This 
year, our senior commanders have only requested 2,000 troops for that 
same purpose. Let me repeat that. When they had an election last year, 
it was believed that 12,000 troops, our troops, in addition to the 
forces there, were needed to help maintain stability throughout the 
countryside. This year, senior commanders have only requested 2,000 
troops for that. Although this is a small metric, it is tangible proof 
of forward progress and tangible proof that the Iraqis can, will, and 
are taking over substantial responsibility to meet the problems in 
their own country.
  Currently, our military leaders have assigned 8 to 10 military 
personnel to each and every Iraqi unit as advisers. They are helping 
Iraqi units leverage their strength and shore up their weaknesses.
  There are those who say we should accelerate this process, training 
more Iraqi forces faster so we can bring U.S. troops home sooner. this 
sounds like a straightforward solution, but the situation is not so 
simple or clear-cut.
  Earlier this month, along with Senators Warner and Kerry, I traveled 
to Iraq, and I repeatedly asked two questions: Can we speed up the 
training and equipping of Iraqi forces? And even more fundamentally, I 
asked of those there, both Iraqis and Americans, what do they think 
about our mission in Iraq.
  On the first question, the unanimous feedback from U.S. civilian and 
military officials was that we cannot be rushed in the process of 
training Iraqis. It must be done in a careful and measured way.
  The U.S. Government is not only helping to build Iraqi forces, we are 
building capacity both within the Iraqi ministries and the security 
forces within the Government itself. The Iraqi Government must assume 
responsibility for these forces, which means after the United States 
equips and trains these people, the Iraqis must pay their way and 
sustain them. This may lead to a drawdown of U.S. forces at an 
appropriate time in the future, but a premature withdrawal of U.S. 
forces would be disastrous for the Iraqi people and for the world. We 
must continue to demonstrate our commitment that we will stay in Iraq 
until our mission is complete and remain engaged in a mission so that 
we are certain that the Iraqis will complete that and be able to 
sustain their new Government.
  The second question I asked was: What do you think of our mission in 
Iraq? The response I received was unanimous. U.S. civilians, our men 
and women in uniform, told me they believe we are doing what is 
important, that we should stay the course and get the job done, do our 
job.
  I was impressed with the fact that so many young military people, 
when I asked them how long they had been there, told me they had been 
there two and three times, and they had asked to come back so they were 
sure they had a part in finishing the job we undertook in Iraq.
  Senator Inouye and I are part of a different generation. We are what 
is left of the World War II generation in the Senate. Our generation 
had no doubt about our duty. I believe the young men and women of 
today's Armed Forces share our commitment to preserve and protect 
freedom. Our visit with them was inspiring, and many times it left 
tears in my eyes. These young men and women make me proud to be an 
American. Every one of them volunteered to enter the armed services. 
There are no draftees in Iraq. I promised them that I am going to be 
back again to make certain they have the materials and the support they 
need.
  On this same trip, we traveled throughout the region to Kuwait, 
Turkey, and other countries where we visited with senior NATO 
officials. They, too, talked about the broad problem of the world, the 
threat of international terrorism. These military leaders from other 
countries, as well as ours, and NATO highlighted the need for the 
United States to take the lead on the global war on terrorism and to 
continue to assist our friends and allies in Iraq, Afghanistan, Africa, 
and Europe, to make sure this crusade does not take root, that it does 
not gather steam.
  The bill we will place before the Senate will enable us to maintain 
our commitment and our support of these troops. I am proud again to 
thank my cochairman, my friend for so many years, for his support and 
invaluable counsel on this bill. I thank Sid

[[Page S10685]]

Ashworth, who has worked with me, and Charlie Houy, who has worked with 
Senator Inouye, and recognize them for their tremendous efforts on this 
bill. We have all worked together for a long time now, and I believe 
this is as good a bill as we have ever brought before the Senate, 
represented by the vote I mentioned. Every member of the full 
Appropriations Committee voted that we should be allowed to bring this 
bill to the floor.
  I hope that sometime today that will be possible. I hope my friend 
understands the circumstances under which we are making statements.
  I yield the floor.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Martinez). The Senator from Hawaii.
  Mr. INOUYE. Mr. President, I rise today to offer my strong 
endorsement of H.R. 2863, the fiscal year 2006 Defense appropriations 
bill. As the chairman noted, this bill was unanimously approved by the 
Appropriations Committee. It is a bipartisan bill which was crafted by 
Chairman Stevens with the full involvement of the minority.
  In compliance with the committee allocations, this bill is $7 billion 
lower than the amount requested by the administration. As such, the 
committee had to make several difficult decisions to meet the reduced 
level. Even under these conditions, I can assure my colleagues that 
this is a very good bill which will meet our national security needs 
for the coming year.
  The top priority of this measure is to ensure that we provide for the 
well-being of our men and women in uniform and their families. The bill 
includes a 3.1-percent pay raise, and it provides $19.3 billion to run 
our military hospitals and pay for the other day-to-day health care 
costs for our forces.
  Not counting the costs of operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, this 
measure includes nearly $125 billion to safeguard military readiness 
and pay for other routine operations of the Department of Defense.
  As most of my colleagues are surely aware, recruiting has become a 
greater challenge in recent years. So I am pleased to note that this 
bill includes $622 million above the budgeted amount to improve 
recruiting tools so that we can maintain the highest quality in our 
military. Furthermore, a total of $146 billion is recommended in this 
bill for investing in much needed equipment for our forces today and 
our forces of the future.
  We all know that the war in Iraq is controversial, on which many of 
our colleagues have very strong opinions. But I believe what we all 
agree upon is the need to support our troops who are now serving in 
harm's way. To that end, the bill provides an additional $50 billion 
for pay, operations, and equipment to support our fighting forces 
overseas. These funds are essential to support these brave men and 
women.
  Today is September 29. The fiscal year ends tomorrow. It is 
imperative that we move this bill as quickly as possible. After Senate 
passage, the committee will still need to take this bill into 
conference. Because of that, I would urge my colleagues not to offer 
amendments to this bill which might be better suited for other 
legislation except to meet truly emergency requirements. I believe 
there will be plenty of time in the coming months to consider issues 
which are not relevant to this defense spending measure.
  This is a good bill. I strongly support it and urge all of my 
colleagues to do so as well.
  Mr. STEVENS. Mr. President, I say to my colleagues that the 
classified annex that accompanies the 2006 Defense appropriations bill 
is available in S407 for all Members and those staffs who have 
appropriate clearance. There has been a request that we distribute this 
to Members' offices. That is prohibited. We must keep these documents 
in a classified area, and only those who are cleared may have access to 
them. This annex is available in S407. We will make arrangements for 
that room to stay open whatever time the Senators and their cleared 
staff wish to have access to it, but it is not possible for us to 
distribute.
  I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. STEVENS. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Iowa.


                           Amendment No. 1886

                             preparedness)

  Mr. HARKIN. Mr. President, I have an amendment I send to the desk.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the amendment.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       The Senator from Iowa [Mr. Harkin], for himself, Mr. Obama, 
     Mr. Reid, Mr. Kennedy, Mr. Durbin, Mr. Bayh, Mr. Dodd, Mr.

                           Order Of Procedure

  Mr. STEVENS. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that there be a 
period of routine morning business between the hours of 2:30 p.m. and 4 
p.m. today. Senators have been invited to the White House to attend the 
swearing in of Judge Roberts. Buses will be provided for 
transportation. We will not conduct business during the period of that 
important event.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  The Democratic leader.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, would the distinguished President pro 
tempore of the Senate allow us to be in a period of morning business 
during that period of time? There are some people who want to come and 
talk.
  Mr. STEVENS. I am asking for morning business during that period. 
There would be morning business with no votes from 2:30 to 4 o'clock.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The Senator from Iowa.
  Mr. HARKIN. Mr. President, I wanted the amendment I sent to the desk 
read because I want those who are not here, who are maybe in their 
offices, and their staff to understand what it is. It is not that long 
of an amendment. It basically tracks what I said earlier in my opening 
statement.
  I wish to respond a little bit to what was said on the floor just a 
minute ago. First of all, I point out to the Senator from Alaska that 
maybe this might be more appropriate on the Labor-HHS bill, the Labor-
Health and Human Services appropriations bill.
  I remind people, tomorrow is the end of the fiscal year. They have 
not brought the Labor-Health and Human Services appropriations bill to 
the floor. We do not know if they are ever going to bring it to the 
floor. So we do not have an opportunity to offer it there. The Defense 
authorization bill was up, and they took that off the floor. So I have 
not had an opportunity to offer it there.
  Now we have Defense appropriations. Quite frankly, this is about 
defense. It is about defending our people--not against a terrorist but 
against terrorism, the terrorism of an avian flu pandemic. That is what 
this is about.
  Now, I heard the Senator talk about BioShield. Well, I think maybe we 
ought to understand that BioShield money cannot be used for this 
because BioShield money can only be used for

[[Page S10686]]

drugs for which there is no commercial market. Obviously there is a 
great commercial market for Tamiflu.
  So they can have all kinds of study groups and stuff going on down at 
the White House, but they have been privy to this information for a 
long time down at the White House, I say to my colleagues, more privy 
to this information than we have been. So if people are saying, ``Well, 
why are you offering this now?'' I am offering it now because it is the 
midnight hour. We have to do something about this. We have to put the 
money up there. We have to get moving on it now--not next year, not 
after some study group in the White House has banged this thing around 
for another 3 months.
  Who is in charge of this study group? I do not know. We had a 
briefing yesterday by Secretary Leavitt, Dr. Fauci, Dr. Gerberding, 
others. I thought it very unusual we would have a top-secret meeting, a 
briefing. Be that as it may, that is what they wanted to do. It became 
clear to me we have to do something. We can't dawdle any longer.

  The Senator said there is a task force at the White House working 
under BioShield. That is not what this is about. BioShield, fine, that 
has its own process. There is a reason for BioShield, for developing 
drugs that have no commercial market. That is not what this is about. 
This is about money for surveillance, quarantine. It is about money for 
building up local public health facilities, buying antivirals to cover 
half of our people. There is a market for that. We just don't have 
them; that is all. It is about putting money into vaccine production.
  We only have one flu vaccine manufacturing plant in America. I am 
told the reason for that is because there is not much profit in 
vaccines, not like Viagra or Cyalis, drugs such as that. I can't fault 
the drug companies. There is no money to be made from this. They are in 
the business of answering to their shareholders. This is a proper place 
for Government interference, interjection.
  Some of the things I heard from Alaska didn't comport with what we 
are trying to do. H5N1, the virus that struck in Southeast Asia, was 
isolated. We brought it back to NIH. They have been developing a 
vaccine based on H5N1. Preliminary reports are promising, but we are 
not there yet. The problem is, if we run off on a tangent, all we do is 
make the vaccine for H5N1, we might be invaded by H5N2 or 3, or 4 or 5, 
some other mutation, and that vaccine may not be adaptable for that. 
That is why we need to build up the vaccination manufacturing 
capability in this country.
  Yes, we need to be preparing the vaccine for H5N1, but we have to 
build up capacity for rapidly developing other vaccines in case it is a 
mutation and is not that virus. Keep in mind, this is not some scenario 
of maybe. When you talk to the people at the Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention or NIH, they say it is not a matter of if, it is 
when. We have to be prepared.
  We had warnings before. We had warnings about Katrina. We knew things 
weren't adequate in New Orleans and the gulf coast. We had a lot of 
warnings before 9/11 about terrorists blowing up the World Trade 
Center, using airplanes as weapons. We had all those warnings. We 
ignored them. We cannot afford to ignore this.
  The chairman raised all kinds of arguments as to why this should not 
be on the Defense appropriations bill. Well, we don't have any other 
bill. It is before us. This is a money matter. It has to do with using 
Government money to get us ready. Quite frankly, I can think of a 
better place than the appropriations bill.
  The Senator from Alaska also said this has never happened where we 
have done something that didn't pertain to our troops and defense on an 
appropriations bill. I am sorry. About 14 years ago, I offered an 
amendment to increase funding for breast cancer research to the Defense 
appropriations bill, and it was adopted. Quite frankly, I must say, the 
DOD has done a great job in utilizing those funds ever since, and the 
money we put in after that. They have done some of the best grant 
programs on breast cancer research. That didn't have anything to do 
with troops in the field, but it was added to the Defense bill. That is 
not the only example. There are others. I mentioned that one because I 
happened to be involved. To say we have never done this before on a 
Defense appropriations bill is not factual.
  I am hopeful we can get to a vote on this amendment and have a strong 
bipartisan vote on this bill to get us ready and to reassure our people 
that we are going to defend them to the maximum extent possible from an 
outbreak of avian flu.
  I yield the floor.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Thune). The Senator from North Carolina.
  Mr. BURR. Mr. President, I rise to commend my colleague from Iowa. My 
colleague recognizes the need for this country to prepare for a 
possible influenza pandemic. I am not here to be a historian, to 
determine what has happened in the past on Defense appropriations 
bills. I will share that disease surveillance is not something new. It 
occurs day in and day out. The Centers for Disease Control is an active 
participant in the surveillance efforts for a potential global outbreak 
of avian flu. Post-9/11, this country became not only concerned but 
began actively preparing for consequences of chemical, biological, and 
radiological threats that could be used by terrorists.
  We should pause and remind ourselves these potential acts can be 
deliberate, accidental, or natural. Clearly, the threat of avian flu is 
a natural occurrence. The Centers for Disease Control, the World Health 
Organization, all participate in preventing the spread of avian flu and 
work to make us better understand when that threat may affect us here 
at home.
  The Senator from Iowa targets a number of things that are very 
appropriate and important: stockpiles, global surveillance, a national 
investment in domestic vaccine infrastructure, additional grant moneys 
for local public health agencies. But clearly, the chairman of the 
Appropriations Committee is right; the majority of these need to be 
considered in and appropriated from the committees that have 
jurisdiction over the relevant agencies--the National Institutes of 
Health, the Centers for Disease Control.
  We are all alarmed about any of these threats, whether it is 
deliberate, accidental, or natural. This year the Subcommittee on 
Bioterrorism and Public Preparedness has held six hearings and/or 
roundtables on this subject. We have examined the infrastructure we 
currently have to research, develop, and approve countermeasures 
against all of these threats. These countermeasures can be antivirals, 
as the Senator spoke of, for avian flu. They could be vaccines, as we 
have already purchased with BioShield, for anthrax for example. We are 
committed to ensure that we have the right kinds of countermeasures to 
protect the American public.

  But we have a fiduciary responsibility to the American people, too. 
That is to make sure that we do not invest billions and billions and 
billions of dollars into a stockpile that, in fact, has a life 
expectancy shorter than the threat.
  I have come to plead with my colleagues, let's approach this in a 
comprehensive way. Let's, in fact, put together a plan that addresses 
not only avian flu but all of those chemical, biological, radiological 
threats that exist today. I remind you of the threat from anthrax and 
smallpox we have debated in this building before this date. I remind my 
colleagues that we have currently invested some $800 million for 
anthrax vaccines for the national stockpile. We have this week received 
a briefing from the Secretary of Health and Human Services, as Senator 
Harkin said, and the Director of the CDC and the head of National 
Institute for Allergies and Infectious Diseases during which they 
talked about their initial approach to the threat of avian flu. I 
stress the word ``initial'' because it is yet to have the input of this 
body, of the committees, and the subcommittees that have held hearings, 
that have met with representatives from industry, that understand the 
deficiencies in our infrastructure to confront this and other similar 
threats.
  Vaccine shortages are not just an infrastructure deficiency for avian 
flu. There is a deficiency across the board for vaccines in this 
country, in large part because of the policies we have adopted. I 
suggest this is not an issue we can just throw money at. This is an

[[Page S10687]]

issue that needs a comprehensive plan and approach as to how we set up 
a structure and mechanism so we are not on this floor in the future 
talking about further deficiencies. In many cases, everything Senator 
Harkin lists will be components of comprehensive legislation that we 
plan to deal with how much and what we should stockpile. It will deal 
with global surveillance and whether we can do it better than we do 
today. It will deal with the vaccine infrastructure and our reliance on 
having the manufacturing, research, and development capabilities on the 
shores of the United States and not have us reliant on a company that 
might have a facility outside of the United States.
  Once again, I urge my colleagues, let's do it in a comprehensive way 
so we are prepared to move forward in an expedited process that would 
answer all these questions before we adjourn this calendar year.
  Mr. HARKIN. Will the Senator yield?
  Mr. BURR. I am happy to yield.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The minority leader.
  Mr. HARKIN. Mr. President, I was yielded to for a question.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from North Carolina yielded for a 
question to the Senator from Iowa.
  Mr. BURR. Will the Senator from Iowa allow me to yield to the 
minority leader?
  Mr. HARKIN. Absolutely.
  I thank the Senator. He is a very thoughtful individual and chairman 
of the Bioterrorism Subcommittee on which I sit. He has given a 
thoughtful response. I respect that. I think there is a certain logic 
to what the Senator has said. I might use the phrase ``seductive 
logic,'' because obviously there is a lot more out there than just 
this.
  I respond to my friend by using an analogy: Just as I thought, it was 
wrong to put FEMA under Homeland Security because they are two 
different things. Homeland Security has to do with terrorism, that kind 
of threat; FEMA, natural disasters. I still think those should be 
separate. I thought it was wrong before to put them together. This is 
also the same kind of thing. The bioterrorism the chairman has been 
doing a great job at, that is one thing. The surveillance that is 
needed for terrorism and things such as that is different than the kind 
of surveillance needed by the CDCP in terms of a flu outbreak. You are 
talking about different people, different disciplines, a whole 
different set of parameters other than fighting some kind of biological 
terrorist threat.
  So while there may be logic, at some point, for doing this in a 
broader authorization bill--that is fine--I am saying to my friend, I 
don't think we have time to wait for that. I don't know when the bill 
would come up. Secondly, as I said to the chairman of this committee, 
this probably ought to be on the Labor-Health and Human Services 
appropriations bill. But that has not been brought up, and I don't know 
if it is ever going to be brought up.
  So my thinking is that because of the urgency of this--and the 
Senator and I heard the briefing yesterday--I thought we ought to at 
least do something to get this thing moving and moving now rather be 
waiting to January or February or who knows when. So I submit to the 
chairman that while he has logic in what he says in putting this 
together, I think in this one case it has to be separated out right 
now. That is all I am trying to say.
  Mr. BURR. Mr. President, let me try to connect the logic with the 
reality, that if the Senator permits me, I will sit down with him next 
week. I believe I can show him at least the initial language that puts 
this altogether in a comprehensive way and in fact addresses not only 
the deliberate and accidental biological, chemical, and radiological 
threats but also includes the natural threat that avian flu clearly 
emanates from. I believe there is a new structure, not an existing 
structure, within the framework that will work, and if the Senator will 
work with me next week, I think his comfort level would be as great as 
mine today that we can address this threat in a comprehensive way, and 
that is a pledge that we will do it expeditiously, this year.
  Mr. HARKIN. I say to my friend, if he will yield further, I 
appreciate it. I would like to work with him on this, and I think our 
staffs have been, but again I am not certain when we are going to get 
to the appropriation on that. That is what I don't know. When will we 
ever get to an appropriation on that? I say to my friend, I don't know. 
As I said, there is a logic in what he is saying. I am saying because 
of the problem of avian flu, because it could be so imminent, I don't 
think we have any days to wait. That is all I am saying.
  Mr. REID addressed the Chair.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from North Carolina holds time.
  Mr. BURR. I would be happy to yield time to the minority leader.
  Mr. REID. The Senator doesn't need to recognize me. The Chair needs 
to recognize me. Is he finished?
  Mr. BURR. Does the Senator need time before 2:30?
  Mr. REID. I don't know. Are we under controlled time?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senate is not under controlled time.
  Mr. REID. I would like to be recognized.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator from North Carolina yield the 
floor?
  Mr. BURR. If the minority leader will allow me a few more minutes, I 
will conclude my comments as they relate to the amendment by the 
Senator from Iowa.
  Let me say, if I can, for the purposes of what the Senator raised 
with me, there is a willingness on the part of Members on both sides of 
the aisle that this body move expeditiously to address this threat. I 
don't believe the timing is going to be a problem as we move through 
this year. I think it is a question of whether we sufficiently 
construct a mechanism to assure us that we have done the right thing; 
that just to dump money into any system that might be deficient today 
would be a mistake. I truly believe that with the support on both sides 
of the aisle and both bodies of leadership, this is an issue we can 
sufficiently resolve and we can do it in an expeditious way.
  With that, I yield back my time.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The minority leader.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I thank you very much. I apologize to the 
Senator from North Carolina for interrupting. I did not mean to do 
that.
  Mr. President, I approach this a little differently. There is always 
tomorrow. But on this issue, there is no tomorrow; there is only today. 
I have been worried about this issue for some time. Yesterday, my 
concern became paramount. The people of the State of Nevada and this 
country deserve our attention today, not tomorrow.
  Dr. Julie Gerberding said:

     . . . many influenza experts, including those at CDC, 
     consider the threat of a serious influenza pandemic to the 
     United States to be high. Although the timing and impact of 
     an influenza pandemic is unpredictable, the occurrence is 
     inevitable and potentially devastating.

  I am concerned about smallpox. I am concerned about anthrax. I am 
concerned about chemical terrorism, biological terrorism. But this 
pandemic is coming. We have been told this time and time again. I think 
it is incumbent upon this body to pass our amendment that is now before 
the Senate. Republicans and Democrats need to pass this amendment 
because the American people deserve it.
  Four years after 9/11, the Government was supposed to be better 
prepared for the next national disaster. Yet as we witnessed all too 
clearly and painfully with Hurricane Katrina, our Government was not. 
We owe it to the American people to do better in the future. Today, we 
have that opportunity.
  The human and economic toll of Hurricane Katrina has been dramatic, 
but the devastation caused by Katrina would pale in comparison with a 
potential global avian flu pandemic, which, the head of the Centers for 
Disease Control says is inevitable.
  One health expert has concluded that nearly 2 million Americans would 
die in the first year alone from this. Now, a flu pandemic in the 
United States would cost our economy hundreds of billions of dollars 
due to death, lost productivity, and disruptions to commerce and 
society.

  Perhaps the only thing more troubling than contemplating the possible 
consequences of avian flu is recognizing that neither this Nation nor 
the world is prepared to deal with it. We have no plan. Today we have 
no plan.

[[Page S10688]]

We know that one of our best opportunities to limit the scope and 
consequences of any outbreak is to rapidly detect the emergence of a 
new strain that is capable of sustained human-to-human transmission. 
Yet we are not devoting enough resources to effective surveillance 
abroad.
  We all know that State and local health departments will be on the 
front lines of a pandemic and health care providers must develop surge 
capacity plans so they can respond to a pandemic.
  This Congress is poised to approve a $130 million cut for State and 
local preparedness funding for the Centers for Disease Control. That is 
in the President's budget--a $130 million cut.
  We also know once a flu strain has been identified, we need to 
develop a vaccine. That takes time, some say as long as 8 months. Our 
existing stock of vaccines, assuming they are effective against a 
future, as yet unidentified, strain may protect less than 1 percent of 
all Americans. And we have only one domestic flu vaccine manufacturer 
located in the United States.
  It is estimated that if our capacity to produce a vaccine is not 
improved, it could take 15 months to vaccinate the first responders, 
medical personnel and other high risk groups.
  We know it will take months to develop, produce, and distribute a 
vaccine once we have had it perfected. But we must rely on antiviral 
medicines as a stopgap against this pandemic. Other nations that 
certainly do not have the resources we have, including Great Britain, 
France, Norway, Portugal, Switzerland, Finland, and New Zealand have 
ordered enough of this Tamiflu, an antiviral pill, to cover up to 40 
percent of their population. We have virtually nothing.
  The consequences of a pandemic could be far reaching, impacting 
virtually every sector of our society and our economy. Yet we have not 
taken appropriate action to prepare the medical community, business 
community, or the American public so they can take necessary steps to 
prepare for and respond to an avian flu outbreak.
  This great country of ours can do better. We have to. We cannot 
afford to wait to do better. That is why I am so happy to join my 
friends in sponsoring this amendment.
  To put this amendment in perspective, this amendment calls for $3.9 
billion in emergency funds for pandemic flu preparedness at the CDC. To 
put this amount in perspective, the cost of our amendment is less than 
what we spend in 1 month on the war in Iraq--far less than we spend in 
1 month there. We are facing the real prospect of another war here at 
home called the flu. This amendment would go a long way toward 
committing the resources necessary to fighting and winning the war.
  People say, well, where are we going to get the money? We have no 
choice. The American people deserve it. We can't stay back saying we 
will do it tomorrow. We need to do it today and I want everyone within 
the sound of my voice to know this is not a partisan issue. We need 
Republicans and Democrats to support this effort because this flu is 
going to strike us all.
  This is not meant to be alarmist. It is meant to let everyone know 
the time is here to do something about this.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from North Carolina.
  Mr. BURR. Mr. President, we have several minutes remaining before we 
move on. I take this opportunity to assure the minority leader that I 
was in the same briefing. I think all Members were somewhat shocked at 
some of the things we heard. This is a Member who was not shocked 
because I have been charged as a subcommittee chairman since the 
beginning of the year with looking at all the aspects of this. I read 
daily the international press reports of how many new cases of avian 
flu, in what country, how many humans have contracted it from an animal 
source, how many humans potentially have contracted it from another 
human. The reality is this is something that from a committee 
standpoint we keep up with. We understand the sense of urgency. I plead 
with my colleagues that the answer is not to throw money at the threat. 
It is to have a comprehensive plan where research and the investment 
for that research pays off in countermeasures to protect the American 
people.
  Senator Harkin described very well that what is H5N1 avian flu in 
most of Southeast Asia today, by the time it travels, whether it is by 
humans or potentially by wild birds, the mutations that may take place 
might make irrelevant any vaccine that is produced today and antivirals 
that exist today, used to treat it might have potentially less than a 
satisfactory effect. Without a system that invests in research and 
development, how in the world do we expect new antiviral drugs and new 
vaccines to be produced?

  To suggest that we put all our eggs into this limited approach--let's 
put this money up, and let's buy whatever is available on the 
marketplace--is comforting if, in fact, we believe this is a threat for 
tomorrow or next week or next month. The reality is this pandemic may 
occur next year or 3 years or 5 years down the road, and if we want to 
protect the American people, if we want to do our job, then you have to 
set up a comprehensive mechanism for that research, that development, 
and whatever product is needed to address the threat we may face.
  Again, I commend those Members who have come to the floor and 
proposed the appropriations for this item. I disagree that this is the 
appropriate bill. I disagree that you should appropriate this much 
money or any money without a comprehensive plan as to how we produce 
countermeasures that continue past this one appropriations.
  I pledge to the minority leader and to Senator Harkin, but more 
importantly to every Member of this body, to work with them 
aggressively over the next 60 days to not only produce legislation out 
of the subcommittee, but to work with my chairman, Chairman Enzi, and 
to work with both leaders and all 100 Senators to make sure this 
legislation is passed in this body and by the House of Representatives, 
and signed into law by this President. I believe that it is that 
urgent. But, there is also a requirement for us to do it right, in 
fact, that is the single most important factor that we should consider.
  I yield the floor.
