       (ii) the warfighting utility of such vessel.
       (D) A construction contract for a Littoral Combat Ship 
     vessel in fiscal year 2010 will be awarded only to a

     procure such additional Littoral Combat Ship vessels prior to 
     the completion of operational test and evaluation.
       (E) With respect to funds that are available for 
     shipbuilding and conversion, Navy, for fiscal year 2010 for 
     the procurement of Littoral Combat Ship vessels--
       (i) such funds are sufficient to award contracts for three 
     additional Littoral Combat Ship vessels; or

     three additional Littoral Combat Ship vessels, the Secretary 
     has the ability to promote competition for the Littoral 
     Combat Ship vessels that are procured in order to ensure the 
     best value to the Government.

     operationally realistic flight testing, a high probability of 
     working in an operationally effective manner and the ability 
     to accomplish the mission.

     SEC. 224. SENSE OF CONGRESS REAFFIRMING CONTINUED SUPPORT FOR 
                   PROTECTING THE UNITED STATES AGAINST LIMITED 
                   BALLISTIC MISSILE ATTACKS WHETHER ACCIDENTAL, 
                   UNAUTHORIZED, OR DELIBERATE.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Congress passed and the President signed the National 
     Missile Defense Act of 1999 (Public Law 106-38), which 
     stated: ``It is the policy of the United States to deploy as 
     soon as is technologically possible an effective National 
     Missile Defense system capable of defending the territory of 
     the United States against limited ballistic missile attack 
     (whether accidental, unauthorized, or deliberate).
       (2) The United States has thus far deployed 26 long-range, 
     Ground-based, Midcourse Defense (GMD) interceptors in Alaska 
     and California to defend against potential long-range 
     missiles from rogue states such as North Korea.
       (3) Congress has fully funded the President's budget 
     request for the GMD sites in Alaska and California in fiscal 
     years 2008 and 2009, as well as continued development of the 
     Standard Missile-3 Block IIA missile with Japan, which will 
     provide the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense system the 
     capability to engage long-range ballistic missiles like the 
     North Korean Taepo Dong-2.
       (4) Senior defense and intelligence officials have 
     indicated that the threat to the United States from long-
     range missiles from rogue states is limited.
       (5) Senior military officials have testified that the 
     original threat assessments of the long-range missile threat 
     made by the Missile Defense Agency in 2002 were ``off by a 
     factor of 10 or 20''.
       (6) It is imperative that missile defense force structure 
     and inventory be linked to the most likely threats and 
     validated military requirements.
       (7) The Secretary of Defense, the Chairman of the Joint 
     Chiefs, the Commander of the United States Strategic 
     Command's Joint Functional Component Command for Integrated 
     Missile Defense, and the Director of the Missile Defense 
     Agency have either testified or stated that 30 operationally 
     deployed GMD interceptors would be adequate to defend against 
     any rogue missile threat to the United States in the near- to 
     mid-term.
       (8) The Director of the Missile Defense Agency testified 
     that, for the first time since the establishment of the 
     Missile Defense Agency in 2002, key elements of the 
     Department of Defense, such as the combatant commanders and 
     the military services, played a major role in shaping the 
     missile defense budget for fiscal year 2010.
       (9) There is currently no existing military requirement 
     justifying the need to deploy 44 GMD interceptors, nor has 
     that number been validated by the Department of Defense's 
     requirements process.
       (10) In testimony before Congress this year, the Director 
     of the Missile Defense Agency indicated that a number of GMD 
     interceptors were removed from their silos for unscheduled 
     maintenance and refurbishment because of unanticipated 
     problems with the interceptors were discovered.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     the United States--
       (1) reaffirms the principles articulated in the National 
     Missile Defense Act of 1999;
       (2) should continue to fund robust research, development, 
     test, and evaluation of the current GMD system deployed in 
     Alaska in California to ensure that the system will work in 
     an operationally effective, suitable, maintainable, and 
     survivable manner to defend the territory of the United 
     States against limited ballistic missile attack (whether 
     accidental, unauthorized, or deliberate);
       (3) should continue the development of the Standard 
     Missile-3 Block IIA missile with Japan, which will provide 
     the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense system a capability to 
     counter long-range ballistic missiles like the North Korean 
     Taepo Dong-2; and
       (4) should set future missile defense force structure and 
     inventory requirements based on a clear linkage to the threat 
     and the military requirements process that takes into account 
     the views of key Department of Defense stakeholders such as 
     the combatant commanders and the military services.

     SEC. 225. ASCENT PHASE MISSILE DEFENSE STRATEGY.

       (a) Department of Defense Strategy for Ascent Phase Missile 
     Defense.--Not later than 180 days after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall submit 
     to the congressional defense committees a strategy for ascent 
     phase missile defense.
       (b) Matters Included.--The strategy required by subsection 
     (a) shall include each of the following:
       (1) A description of the programs and activities contained, 
     as of the date of the submission of the strategy, in the 
     program of record of the Missile Defense Agency that provide 
     or are planned to provide a capability to intercept ballistic 
     missiles in their ascent phase.
       (2) A description of the capabilities that are needed to 
     accomplish the intercept of ballistic missiles in their 
     ascent phase, including--
       (A) the key technologies and associated technology 
     readiness levels, plans for maturing such technologies, and 
     any technology demonstrations for such capabilities;
       (B) concepts of operation for how ascent phase capabilities 
     would be employed, including the dependence of such 
     capabilities on, and integration with, other functions, 
     capabilities, and information, including those provided by 
     other elements of the ballistic missile defense system;
       (C) the criteria to be used to assess the technical 
     progress, suitability, and effectiveness of such 
     capabilities;
       (D) a comprehensive plan for development and investment in 
     such capabilities, including an identification of specific 
     program and technology investments to be made in such 
     capabilities;

[[Page H7268]]

       (E) a description of how, and to what extent, ascent phase 
     missile defense can leverage the capabilities and investments 
     made in boost phase, midcourse, and any other layer or 
     elements of the ballistic missile defense system;
       (F) a description of any other challenges or limitations 
     associated with ascent phase missile defense; and
       (G) any other information the Secretary determines is 
     necessary.
       (c) Form.--The strategy shall be submitted in unclassified 
     form, but may include a classified annex.

     SEC. 226. AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS FOR A MISSILE DEFENSE SYSTEM 
                   FOR EUROPE AND THE UNITED STATES.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Missile defense promotes the collective security of the 
     United States and NATO and improves linkages among member 
     nations of NATO by defending all members of NATO against the 
     full range of missile threats.
       (2) The Islamic Republic of Iran possesses the largest 
     inventory of short-and medium-range ballistic missiles in the 
     Middle East and these missiles represent a threat to Europe 
     and United States interests and deployed forces in the 
     region. Neither NATO nor the United States currently 
     possesses sufficient theater missile defense capability to 
     counter this threat from Iran.
       (3) Iran does not currently possess a long-range ballistic 
     missile capable of reaching the United States and, if it were 
     to develop such a capability in the near future, the long-
     range Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD) interceptors 
     currently deployed in Alaska have sufficient range to protect 
     the United States against an emerging threat.
       (4) It is in the interest of the United States to work 
     cooperatively with NATO to counter these threats consistent 
     with the direction provided in the statement by the Heads of 
     State and Government participating in the meeting of the 
     North Atlantic Council in Strasbourg/Kehl on April 4, 2009, 
     that: ``we judge that missile threats should be addressed in 
     a prioritized manner that includes consideration of the level 
     of imminence of the threat and the level of acceptable 
     risk.''
       (5) The Director of Operational Test and Evaluation for the 
     Department of Defense has raised concerns about the 
     operational effectiveness, suitability, and survivability of 
     the current GMD system, and the Director of the Missile 
     Defense Agency testified before the House Armed Services 
     Committee on May 21, 2009, that health and status indicators 
     forced the agency to remove several long-range interceptors 
     for unscheduled maintenance and refurbishment.
       (6) The Fiscal Year 2008 Annual Report to Congress by the 
     Director of Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT&E) stated: 
     ``The inherent BDMS defensive capability against theater 
     threats increased during the last fiscal year and DOT&E 
     expects this trend to continue'' largely due to the continued 
     progress of the AEGIS and Terminal High Altitude Area Defense 
     (THAAD) systems in operational testing.
       (7) The proposed European locations of the long-range 
     missile defense system allow for the defense of both Europe 
     and the United States against long-range threats launched 
     from the Middle East, but a limited deployment of GMD 
     interceptors on the east coast of the United States would 
     provide comparable defense of our homeland and the most 
     pressing threat to Europe is from medium-range ballistic 
     missiles.
       (b) Reservation of Funds.--Of the funds made available for 
     fiscal years 2009 and 2010 for the Missile Defense Agency for 
     the purpose of developing missile defenses in Europe, 
     $353,100,000 shall be available only for a missile defense 
     system for Europe and the United States as described in 
     paragraph (1) or (2) of subsection (c).
       (c) Use of Funds.--Funds reserved under subsection (b) may 
     be obligated and expended by the Secretary of Defense--
       (1) on the research, development, test, and evaluation of--
       (A) the proposed midcourse radar element of the ground-
     based midcourse defense system in the Czech Republic; and
       (B) the proposed long-range missile defense interceptor 
     site element of such defense system in Poland; or
       (2) on the research, development, test, and evaluation, 
     procurement, site activation, construction, preparation of, 
     equipment for, or deployment of an alternative integrated 
     missile defense system that would protect Europe and the 
     United States from the threats posed by all types of 
     ballistic missiles, if the Secretary submits to the 
     congressional defense committees a report certifying that the 
     alternative missile defense system is expected to be--
       (A) consistent with the direction of the North Atlantic 
     Council to address ballistic missile threats to Europe and 
     the United States in a prioritized manner that includes 
     consideration of the level of imminence of the threat and the 
     level of acceptable risk;
       (B) at least as cost-effective, technically reliable, and 
     operationally available in protecting Europe and the United 
     States from missile threats as the ground-based midcourse 
     defense system described in paragraph (1);
       (C) deployable in a sufficient amount of time to counter 
     current and emerging ballistic missile threats (as determined 
     by the intelligence community) launched from the Middle East 
     that could threaten Europe and the United States; and
       (D) interoperable with other components of missile defense 
     and compliments NATO's missile defense strategy.

                   TRANSIENTS, HOLDEES, AND STUDENTS ACCOUNT FOR 
                   ARMY NATIONAL GUARD.

       (a) Report Required.--Not later than February 1, 2010, the 
     Secretary of the Army shall submit to the congressional 
     defense committees a report evaluating options, and including 
     a recommendation, for the creation of a Trainees, Transients, 
     Holdees, and Students Account within the Army National Guard.
       (b) Elements of Report.--At a minimum, the report shall

     a 1.59 percent end strength increase for the Army National 
     Guard.
       (B) The disproportionate growth in the end strengths of the 
     reserve components is inconsistent with the emphasis placed 
     by the Department of Defense on responding to asymmetric 
     threats at home and abroad.
       (2) Sense of congress.--In light of such findings, Congress 
     is concerned about unit readiness and the effect of pre-
     deployment cross-leveling on the Army National Guard and it 
     is the sense of Congress that an increase in Army National 
     Guard end strength should be considered in the deliberations 
     of the next quadrennial defense review conducted under 
     section 118 of title 10, United States Code.

     pursuant to section 8073 of the Department of Defense 
     Appropriations Act, 2008 (division A of Public Law 110-116;

     alcoholic beverages and their purchase of such affected 
     products before and after the effective date of provision of 
     law referred to in subsection (a).
       (4) The potential cost savings in transportation costs, 
     including use of second destination transportation funds, 
     accruing from the purchase of alcoholic beverages from local 
     distributors on Guam.
       (5) The ability of local distributors on Guam to meet 
     demands for stocks of certain alcoholic beverages in the 
     event that the local purchase requirement became permanent 
     for Guam.
       (6) The consistency in application of the alcohol resale 
     requirement for nonappropriated fund activities on military 
     installations with regards to Department of Defense 
     Instruction 1330.09 (or any successor to that instruction) 
     and the methods used to determine the resale price of 
     alcoholic beverages.

       (5) adequately address personnel performing duties in 
     acquisition-related activities that are not covered by 
     current restrictions relating to private sector employment 
     following employment with the Department of Defense and

     SEC. 828. FINDINGS AND REPORT ON THE USAGE OF RARE EARTH 
                   MATERIALS IN THE DEFENSE SUPPLY CHAIN.

       (a) Findings.--Regarding the availability of rare earth 
     materials and components containing rare earth materials in 
     the defense supply chain Congress finds--
       (1) it is necessary, to the maximum extent practicable, to 
     ensure the uninterrupted supply of strategic materials 
     critical to national security, including rare earth materials 
     and other items covered under section 2533b of title 10, 
     United States Code, to support the defense supply-chain, 
     particularly when many of those materials are supplied by 
     primary producers in unreliable foreign nations;
       (2) many less common metals, including rare earths and 
     thorium, are critical to modern technologies, including 
     numerous defense critical technologies and these technologies 
     cannot be built without the use of these metals and materials 
     produced from them and therefore could qualify as strategic 
     materials, critical to national security, in which case the 
     Strategic Materials Protection Board should recommend a 
     strategy to the President to ensure the domestic availability 
     of these materials; and
       (3) there is a need to identify the strategic value placed 
     on rare earth materials by foreign nations (including China), 
     and the Department of Defense's supply-chain vulnerability 
     related to rare earths and end items containing rare earths.
       (b) Report Required.--Not later than April 1, 2010, the 
     Comptroller General shall submit to the Committees on Armed 
     Services of the Senate and House of Representatives a report 
     on the usage of rare earth materials in the supply chain of 
     the Department of Defense.
       (c) Objectives of Report.--The objectives of the report 
     required by subsection (b) shall be to determine the 
     availability of rare earth materials, including ores, semi-
     finished rare earth products, components containing rare-
     earth materials, and other uses of rare earths by the 
     Department of Defense in its weapon systems. The following 
     items shall be considered:
       (1) An analysis of past procurements and attempted 
     procurements by foreign governments or government- controlled 
     entities, including mines and mineral rights, of rare-earth 
     resources outside such nation's territorial boundaries.
       (2) An analysis of the worldwide availability of rare 
     earths, such as samarium, neodymium, thorium and lanthanum, 
     including current and potential domestic sources for use in 
     defense systems, including a projected analysis of projected 
     availability of these materials in the export market.
       (3) A determination as to which defense systems are 
     currently dependent on rare earths

[[Page H7293]]

     supplied by nondomestic sources, particularly neodymium iron 
     boron magnets.
       (d) Rare Earth Defined.--In this section, the term ``rare 
     earth'' means the chemical elements, all metals, beginning 
     with lanthanum, atomic number 57, and including all of the 
     natural chemical elements in the periodic table following 
     lanthanum up to and including lutetium, element number 71. 
     The term also includes the elements yttrium and scandium.

     SEC. 829. FURNITURE STANDARDS.

       All Department of Defense purchases of furniture in the

     has been denied authorization by Congress.
       (c) Effect on Authorization Amounts.--A transfer made from

       (c) Exception for Certain Aircraft.--The prohibition in

     SEC. 1048. SENSE OF CONGRESS HONORING THE HONORABLE ELLEN O. 
                   TAUSCHER.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) In 1996, Representative Ellen O. Tauscher was elected 
     to represent California's 10th Congressional district, which 
     is located in the East Bay Area of northern California and 
     consists of parts of Solano, Contra Costa, Alameda, and 
     Sacramento counties.
       (2) Representative Tauscher also represents two of the 
     Nation's defense laboratories, Lawrence Livermore and the 
     California campus of Sandia, as well as Travis Air Force 
     Base, home of the 60th Air Mobility Wing and the Camp Parks 
     Army Reserve facility.
       (3) Prior to her service in Congress, Representative 
     Tauscher worked in the private sector for 20 years, 14 of 
     which were on Wall Street.
       (4) At age 25, Representative Tauscher became one of the 
     first women, and the youngest at the time, to hold a seat on 
     the New York Stock Exchange, and she later served as an 
     officer of the American Stock Exchange.
       (5) Representative Tauscher moved to California in 1989 and 
     shortly afterwards founded the first national research 
     service to help parents verify the background of childcare 
     workers while she sought quality childcare for her own 
     daughter.
       (6) Subsequently, Representative Tauscher published a book 
     to help working parents make informed decisions about their 
     own childcare needs.
       (7) Representative Tauscher is known by her colleagues in 
     Congress as a leader on national security and 
     nonproliferation issues.
       (8) During her tenure, she has introduced legislation to 
     increase and expand the Nation's nonproliferation programs, 
     strengthen the Stockpile Stewardship Program, and provide the 
     Nation's troops with the support and equipment they deserve.
       (9) In the 110th Congress, Representative Tauscher was 
     appointed Chairman of the Strategic Forces Subcommittee of 
     the Armed Services Committee of the House of Representatives, 
     becoming only the third woman in history to chair an Armed 
     Services subcommittee.
       (10) Representative Tauscher is also the first California 
     Democrat to be elevated to an Armed Services Subcommittee 
     Chairmanship since 1992.
       (11) Representative Tauscher is currently serving her 
     second term as the Chairman of the House New Democrat 
     Coalition, and she was appointed by the Speaker of the House 
     to serve as the Vice Chair for the Future Security and 
     Defense Capabilities Subcommittee of the Defense and Security 
     Committee of NATO's Parliamentary Assembly.

[[Page H7301]]

       (12) On May 5, 2009, the President nominated Representative 
     Tauscher to serve as Under Secretary of State for Arms 
     Control and International Security at the Department of 
     State.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the Sense of Congress that 
     the Honorable Ellen O. Tauscher, Representative from 
     California, has served the House of Representatives and the 
     American people selflessly and with distinction, and that she 
     deserves the sincere and humble gratitude of Congress and the 
     Nation.

     SEC. 1049. SENSE OF CONGRESS CONCERNING THE DISPOSITION OF 
                   SUBMARINE NR-1.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The Deep Submergence Vessel NR-1 (hereinafter in this 
     section referred to as ``NR-1'') was built by the Electric 
     Boat Company in Groton, Connecticut, entered service in 1969, 
     and was the only nuclear-powered research submersible in the 
     United States Navy.
       (2) NR-1 was assigned to Naval Submarine Base New London, 
     located in Groton, Connecticut throughout her entire service 
     life.
       (3) NR-1 was inactivated in December 2008.
       (4) Due to the unique capabilities of NR-1, it conducted 
     numerous missions of significant military and scientific 
     value most notably in the fields of geological survey and 
     oceanographic research.
       (5) In 1986, NR-1 played a key role in the search for and 
     recovery of the Space Shuttle Challenger.
       (6) The mission of the Submarine Force Library and Museum 
     in Groton, Connecticut, is to collect, preserve, and 
     interpret the history of the United States Naval Submarine 
     Force in order to honor veterans and to educate naval 
     personnel and the public in the heritage and traditions of 
     the Submarine Force.
       (7) NR-1 is a unique and irreplaceable part of the history 
     of the Navy and the Submarine Force and an educational and 
     historical asset that should be shared with the Nation and 
     the world.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the Sense of Congress that--
       (1) NR-1 is a unique and irreplaceable part of the Nation's 
     history and as much of the vessel as possible should be 
     preserved for the historical and educational benefit of all 
     Americans at the Submarine Force Museum and Library in 
     Groton, Connecticut; and
       (2) the Secretary of the Navy should ensure that as much of 
     the vessel as possible, including unique components of on-
     board equipment and clearly recognizable sections of the hull 
     and superstructure, to the full extent practicable, are made 
     available for transfer to the Submarine Force Museum and 
     Library.

     SEC. 1050. COMPLIANCE WITH REQUIREMENT FOR PLAN ON THE 
                   DISPOSITION OF DETAINEES AT NAVAL STATION, 
                   GUANTANAMO BAY, CUBA.

       The Secretary of Defense shall comply with the requirements 
     of section 1023(b) of this Act, regarding the transfer or 
     release of the individuals detained at Naval Station, 
     Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

     SEC. 1051. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING CARRIER AIR WING FORCE 
                   STRUCTURE.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The requirement of section 5062(b) of title 10, United 
     States Code, for the Navy to maintain not less than 11 
     operational aircraft carriers, means that the naval combat 
     forces of the Navy also include not less than 10 carrier air 
     wings.
       (2) The Department of the Navy currently requires a carrier 
     air wing to include not less than 44 strike fighter aircraft.
       (3) In spite of the potential warfighting benefits that may 
     result in the deployment of fifth-generation strike fighter 
     aircraft, for the foreseeable future the majority of the 
     strike fighter aircraft assigned to a carrier air wing will 
     not be fifth-generation assets.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) in addition to the forces described in section 5062(b) 
     of title 10, United States Code, the naval combat forces of 
     the Navy should include not less than 10 carrier air wings 
     (even if the number of aircraft carriers is temporarily 
     reduced) that are comprised of, in addition to any other 
     aircraft, not less than 44 strike fighter aircraft; and
       (2) the Secretary of the Navy should take all appropriate 
     actions necessary to make resources available in order to 
     include such number of strike fighter aircraft in each 
     carrier air wing.

     SEC. 1052. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 
                   FINANCIAL IMPROVEMENT AND AUDIT READINESS; 
                   PLAN.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The Department of Defense is the largest agency in the 
     Federal Government, owning 86 percent of the Government's 
     assets, estimated at $4.6 trillion.
       (2) It is essential that the Department maintain strong 
     financial management and business systems that allow for 
     comprehensive auditing, in order to improve financial 
     management government-wide and to achieve an opinion on the 
     Federal Government's consolidated financial statements.
       (3) Several major pieces of legislation, such as the Chief 
     Financial Officers Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-576) and the 
     Federal Financial Management Improvement Act of 1996 (Public 
     Law 104-208; 31 U.S.C. 3512 note) have required published 
     financial statement audits, reporting by auditors regarding 
     whether the Department's financial management systems comply 
     substantially with Federal accounting standards, and other 
     measures intended to ensure financial management systems of 
     the Department provide accurate, reliable, and timely 
     financial management information.
       (4) Nevertheless, according to the January 2009 update to 
     the Government Accountability Office High Risk Series, to 
     date, only ``. . . the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Civil 
     Works has achieved a clean audit opinion on its financial 
     statements. None of the military services have received 
     favorable financial statement audit opinions, and the 
     Department has annually acknowledged that long-standing 
     pervasive weaknesses in its business systems, processes, and 
     controls have prevented auditors from determining the 
     reliability of reported financial statement information.''
       (5) In response to a congressional mandate, the Department 
     issued its first biennial Financial Improvement and Audit 
     Readiness Plan in December 2005, to delineate its strategy 
     for addressing financial management challenges and achieving 
     clean audit opinions. This 2005 report projected that 69 
     percent of assets and 80 percent of liabilities would be 
     ``clean'' by 2009, yet in the latest report in March 2009 the 
     Department projects it will achieve an unqualified audit on 
     only 45 percent of its assets and liabilities by 2009. The 
     Department of Defense is falling behind its original plan to 
     achieve full compliance with the law by 2017.
       (6) Following the passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 
     (Public Law 107-204), publicly traded corporations in the 
     United States would face severe penalties for similar 
     deficiencies in financial management and accountability.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that it 
     is no longer excusable to allow poor business systems, a 
     deficiency of resource allocation, or a lack of commitment 
     from senior Department of Defense leadership to foster waste 
     or non-accountability to the United States taxpayer. It is 
     the further sense of Congress that the Secretary of Defense 
     has not made compliance with financial management and audit 
     readiness standards a top priority and should require, 
     through the Chief Management Officer of the Department of 
     Defense, that each component of the Department develop and 
     implement a specific plan to become compliant with the law 
     well in advance of 2017.
       (c) Plan.--In the next update of the Financial Improvement 
     and Audit Readiness Plan, following the date of the enactment 
     of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall outline a plan to 
     achieve a full, unqualified audit of the Department of 
     Defense by September 30, 2013. In the plan, the Secretary 
     shall also identify a mechanism to conduct audits of the 
     military intelligence programs and agencies and to submit 
     audited financial statements for such agencies to Congress in 
     a classified manner.

     SEC. 1053. JUSTICE FOR VICTIMS OF TORTURE AND TERRORISM.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) At the request of President George W. Bush, Congress 
     permitted the President to waive applicable provisions of the 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 with 
     respect to judicially cognizable claims of American victims 
     of torture and hostage taking by the Government of Iraq.
       (2) In return, however, Congress requested the executive 
     branch to resolve these claims through negotiations with 
     Iraq.
       (3) After considerable delay, officials of the Department 
     of State have informed Members of Congress that these 
     negotiations are underway.
       (4) Congress appreciates the start of the negotiations and 
     will monitor the progress in the prompt and equitable 
     resolution of these claims.
       (5) Congress notes that the House of Representatives in the 
     110th Congress unanimously adopted H.R. 5167, the Justice for 
     Victims of Torture and Terrorism Act, which set forth an 
     appropriate compromise of these claims.
       (6) In the interest of assisting the new democratic 
     government of Iraq, H.R. 5167 offers a considerable 
     compromise to all parties involved by waiving all punitive 
     damages awarded by the courts in these cases, as well as 
     approximately two-thirds of compensatory damages awarded by 
     the courts.

     meet the needs of the Department of Defense with respect to 
     the training of employees in information technology 
     management.

     competencies required to achieve the objectives of the 
     stockpile stewardship program and other weapons and weapons-
     related activities of the Department of Energy, including--

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 572, the gentleman 
from Missouri (Mr. Skelton) and a Member opposed each will control 5 
minutes.
  The Chair now recognizes the gentleman from Missouri.
  Mr. SKELTON. At this time, Mr. Chairman, the gentleman from New 
Jersey (Mr. Adler) seeks recognition for a colloquy.
  Mr. ADLER of New Jersey. Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for participating 
in a colloquy with me about the importance of the joint military base 
located in New Jersey. It incorporates McGuire Air Force Base, Fort 
Dix, and Lakehurst Naval Air Engineering Station.
  I am proud to represent this innovative installation located in New 
Jersey's Third and Fourth Congressional Districts. I am working with 
Generals, Colonels, Captains, and our civilian specialists to make the 
transition to the country's first tri-service joint facility as smooth 
as possible.
  One of the issues people always talk with me about is the discrepancy 
in locality pay. All three individual installations are logistically 
close to each other; however, they fall within Burlington County and 
Ocean County and, therefore, two different locality pay jurisdictions. 
Currently, civilian employees doing exactly the same job are being paid 
different wages.
  I am working closely with the Office of Personnel Management and the 
Department of Defense to have the entire joint base considered within 
Ocean County's pay area because people doing identical jobs on 
different areas of the tri-service base should be paid the same.
  Mr. Chairman, I look forward to working with you on this important 
issue to assist in the smooth transition to the joint base, McGuire/
Dix/Lakehurst, starting on October 1, 2009.
  Mr. SKELTON. I thank the gentleman for his comments. And in response, 
I will tell the gentleman I will work with him, the committee of 
jurisdiction, and the relevant government agencies to resolve the issue 
and help the joint base transition.
  Mr. ADLER of New Jersey. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
  Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I rise to claim the time in opposition 
although I am not opposed to the amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, the gentleman from California is 
recognized for 5 minutes.
  There was no objection.
  Mr. McKEON. I will reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Miller has a request for a colloquy at this time.
  Mr. MILLER of North Carolina. Mr. Chairman, the Servicemembers Civil 
Relief Act, SCRA, protects servicemembers when their military service 
hinders their ability to meet financial obligations or defend their 
rights in a lawsuit. Recent court rulings have questioned whether 
servicemembers have a private remedy for violations of their rights 
under the SCRA. The committee included a provision to increase further 
the rights of servicemembers. That is a step in the right direction, 
but I am concerned that the provision does not go far enough nor as far 
as the chairman and the committee would like to go.
  I submitted an amendment with Representative Jones based on H.R. 
2696, the Servicemembers Rights Protection Act, to clarify that 
servicemembers and covered dependents under the SCRA do have a private 
cause of action. The clarifying amendment has the support of the 
Department of Defense, the Department of Justice, the American Bar 
Association, Military Officers Association, and is currently in the 
other body's version of the National Defense Authorization.
  Will the chairman work to include the most effective private right of 
action for all SCRA violations in the conference report?
  Mr. SKELTON. In response, I might tell you that, as the gentleman 
knows, our committee and I work tirelessly to protect the rights of 
servicemembers and their families; at the same time, I know it can be 
improved. I would be happy to work with this gentleman to address the 
issues that you have raised this morning.
  Mr. MILLER of North Carolina. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I know you are 
committed to stronger language and to doing everything possible to help 
our servicemembers.
  Mr. SKELTON. Thank you.
  Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I continue to reserve.
  Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Chairman, the gentlelady from California (Mrs. 
Capps) seeks recognition for a colloquy.
  Mrs. CAPPS. Mr. Chairman, I rise today to ask for your help in 
providing fair and adequate disability benefits to our Nation's Federal 
firefighters.
  Together with the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Platts), I 
introduced the Federal Firefighters Fairness Act to create the 
presumption that Federal firefighters who become disabled by heart 
disease, lung disease, certain cancers, and other infectious diseases 
contracted the illness on the job. This effort is strongly supported by 
all five major fire organizations and has 130 bipartisan cosponsors.
  I offered this bill with an amendment to the National Defense 
Authorization Act; however, it was not made in order due to PAYGO 
issues.
  Mr. SKELTON. I certainly thank the gentlelady for raising this 
important issue, and I assure her that I certainly share her concern 
for our Federal firefighters.
  While protecting our national interests in military installations, 
nuclear facilities, VA hospitals, and other Federal facilities, Federal 
firefighters are routinely exposed to toxic substances, biohazards, 
temperature extremes, and stress. I would be pleased to continue 
working with the gentlelady on this important issue.
  Mrs. CAPPS. I thank the chairman for his commitment to improving the 
health and welfare of our Federal firefighters.
  Forty-two States have already recognized this link by providing some 
sort of presumptive disability benefits for their State, county, and 
city firefighters. This creates a serious difference in benefits 
between Federal and

[[Page H7338]]

municipal firefighters, which is basically unfair. More States enact 
presumptive disability legislation each year, so this is a problem that 
continues to grow and the disparity continues to be more apparent. 
Clearly, there is a pressing need for this legislation.
  Mr. SKELTON. The gentlelady knows that I certainly share her 
admiration and appreciation for our Federal firefighters, and I thank 
her for her dedication.
  Mrs. CAPPS. Again, I thank the chairman, and I look forward to 
working with him in the future.
  Mr. McKEON. I continue to reserve.

                              {time}  1045

  Mr. SKELTON. The amendment before us is one that is technical in 
nature and seeks to clarify several technical misstatements and 
problems that arose in the drafting of the bill.
  Mr. McKEON. I yield back my time.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the 
gentleman from Missouri (Mr. Skelton).
  The amendment was agreed to.


                Amendment No. 3 Offered by Mr. McGovern

  The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 3 
printed in House Report 111-182.
  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Chairman, I have an amendment at the desk.
  The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       Amendment No. 3 offered by Mr. McGovern:
       At the end of subtitle B of title XII, add the following 
     new section:

     SEC. 12__. REPORT ON AFGHANISTAN EXIT STRATEGY.

       Not later than December 31, 2009, the Secretary of Defense 
     shall submit to Congress a report outlining the United States 
     exit strategy for United States military forces in 
     Afghanistan participating in Operation Enduring Freedom.

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 572 and the order of 
the House of today, the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. McGovern) and 
a Member opposed each will control 10 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Massachusetts.
  Mr. McGOVERN. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I yield myself 2 minutes.
  Mr. Chairman, this amendment requires the Secretary of Defense to 
provide Congress by the end of the year with an outline of our exit 
strategy for U.S. military operations in Afghanistan. This bipartisan 
amendment, offered by Representatives Walter Jones, Chellie Pingree, 
Barbara Lee, and me, does not demand a timeline for withdrawal or a 
halt to the deployment of the 21,000 additional troops called for by 
the President. It simply asks the administration to present its plan 
for beginning, middle, and end of U.S. military operations in 
Afghanistan.
  For over 8 long years, our uniformed men and women have done all that 
we have asked them to do in Afghanistan. We are now asking them to do 
more. And we are giving them more resources and more boots on the 
ground to accomplish their mission. What we have not told them is how 
to tell when their contribution to the political solution is done and 
they can begin to transition out of Afghanistan.
  Mr. Chairman, I want President Obama to succeed in Afghanistan. I 
stand by our commitment to provide the necessary resources to help the 
Afghan people take charge of their own future. But as Congress 
authorizes and appropriates billions and billions of dollars for a new 
strategy in Afghanistan, is it too much to ask how we will know when 
our troops can finally come home to their families?
  Certainly, we need to hold the governments of Afghanistan and 
Pakistan accountable for governing their own nations. But it is 
incumbent upon us in Congress to hold ourselves accountable--and before 
we can even do that, the administration must clearly articulate and 
outline how it envisions completing its military operations in 
Afghanistan.
  Eleven months into its term is not too soon for that outline to be 
provided. We are asking the Congress be a proper check and balance. We 
are asking for Congress to do its job. The people of this country want 
clarity. They are tired of endless wars.
  Please support the McGovern-Jones-Pingree-Lee amendment.
  I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to this amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman is recognized for 10 minutes.
  Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, Chairman Skelton and I agree that this 
amendment does more harm than good. This amendment sends the wrong 
signal at the wrong time for the government and people of Afghanistan, 
our military men and women deployed and deploying to Afghanistan, our 
NATO and non-NATO allies, and the enemy.
  Focusing on an exit versus a strategy is irresponsible and fails to 
recognize that our efforts in Afghanistan are vital to preventing 
future terrorist attacks on the American people and our allies.
  In March of 2009, the President rightly outlined a strategy for 
Afghanistan and Pakistan focused on disrupting, dismantling, and 
defeating al Qaeda and its affiliated networks and their safe havens.
  While we debate this amendment, our military men and women are 
deploying to the Afghan theater as part of an additional 21,000 forces 
being sent to fight the insurgency in the south and train the Afghan 
National Security Forces.
  Instead of focusing on an exit, as the amendment calls for, Congress 
needs to provide the funding and resources required to support the 
President's strategy and allow our military commanders to succeed.
  As the commander of U.S. Central Command, General Petraeus has 
consistently stated it will take sustained, substantial resources to 
implement our counterinsurgency strategy in Afghanistan and give our 
troops and the government of Afghanistan the opportunity to succeed.
  Lastly, the Department of Defense opposes the amendment, and I also 
oppose the amendment.
  I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Chairman, a military strategy that has no exit is 
no strategy at all.
  I'd like to yield 2 minutes to the cosponsor of this amendment, the 
gentleman from North Carolina (Mr. Jones).
  Mr. JONES. Mr. Chairman, I rise in strong support of the McGovern 
amendment. When the previous administration was in office, many times 
Members on both sides of the aisle kept saying, Why isn't there an end 
point to the war in Iraq? Now, after 8 years in Afghanistan, the 
current administration must clearly articulate the benchmarks for 
success and the endpoint to its war strategy.
  In my years in Congress, I have many opportunities to speak to 
military leaders. Time after time, time after time, I heard this: To 
have a successful war strategy, you must have an end point. An end 
point is an understanding of what has to be achieved.
  General Petraeus recently said, Afghanistan has been known over the 
years as the graveyard of empires. We cannot take that history lightly.
  Another voice who brings credibility to this position is Andrew 
Bacevich, a retired army colonel, Gulf War and Vietnam veteran, 
military historian, and the father of a son who died in Iraq in 2007. 
Bacevich has written that, Embarking on a protracted war with no 
foreseeable end to the U.S. commitment--lacking clearly defined and 
achievable objectives--risks forfeiting public support, thereby 
courting disaster.
  This amendment does not set a date for leaving Afghanistan. It simply 
asks the Secretary of Defense to present a plan for success to Congress 
by the end of the year.
  I would hope that the Members of Congress will look at this, and 
let's not repeat Vietnam. Our men and women in uniform have given and 
given and given. And it's time now to say that we have a definition of 
victory. And that's all Mr. McGovern's amendment is asking.
  Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute at this time to the 
chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, the gentleman from 
California (Mr. Berman).
  Mr. BERMAN. I thank my friend for yielding. I have tremendous respect 
for my friend and colleague from Massachusetts. I know he always has 
the best interests of the Nation and our armed services at heart. But I 
must oppose the amendment.
  As much as all of us would like to have our brave men and women home

[[Page H7339]]

again reunited with their loved ones, we don't have a choice but to 
keep the troops on the ground in Afghanistan for some period of time. 
The only way we can succeed in Afghanistan is to create an environment 
conducive to development and good governance. Our U.S. military is an 
essential component of that.
  Requiring President Obama to develop an ``exit strategy''--only a few 
months after he increased the number of U.S. troops in Afghanistan and 
launched a new strategy--would raise questions about our commitment to 
the Afghan people and complicate our efforts to help them create a 
stable and secure nation in a way that would supersede whatever 
benefits we could get from the passage of this amendment.
  I would ask my colleagues to give the President's plan a chance to 
work.
  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself 30 seconds.
  Mr. Chairman, President Obama on a recent ``60 Minutes'' interview 
said he favors an exit strategy. This shouldn't be controversial. We 
are told that there's a political solution ultimately to be had in 
Afghanistan. All we are asking is: When does our military contribution 
to that political solution come to an end so that we know when we can 
think about bringing our troops back home?
  That's all this amendment does. This should not be controversial at 
all. What we are asking is simply a clearly defined mission, and 
nothing more.
  At this point, Mr. Chairman, I'd like to yield 2 minutes to a 
cosponsor of this amendment, the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Lee).
  Ms. LEE of California. I rise in strong support of this amendment. 
Let me commend my colleague from Massachusetts for his consistent and 
his bold leadership.
  This amendment does not call for the redeployment of U.S. Armed 
Forces out of Afghanistan. It does not call for an end of the funding 
requested by the administration for military operations. It does not 
tie the hands of the President, commanders in the field, or our troops 
on the ground. And it does not provide aid or comfort to those who 
would harm us or wish us ill.
  Instead, this will provide a vital contingency plan for withdrawing 
United States military forces from Afghanistan.
  Mr. Chairman, most recognize that there is no military solution to 
the quagmire in Afghanistan. I remain convinced that the United States 
must develop an exit strategy in Afghanistan before further committing 
the United States' limited resources and military personnel deeper into 
Afghanistan in pursuit of an objective that may be unattainable, 
unrealistic, or too costly. Unfortunately, we're digging ourselves 
deeper in a hole.
  In 2001, I voted against the authorization to use force because I 
feared that given a blank check to wage war, I really worried that this 
would be for an unspecified period of time, really for an unspecified 
mission. This blank check continues today. My worst fears have been 
realized.
  And so what Mr. McGovern is doing makes a lot of sense. We need an 
exit strategy for Afghanistan now. I urge my colleagues to vote for 
this amendment. Otherwise, this blank check is going to continue.
  This does not enhance the national security of the United States of 
America. The longer we're there, the worse things get for our troops. 
Our troops deserve to be able to know at least what our plans are, what 
they're going to entail, and when in fact they will come out of 
Afghanistan. The people of Afghanistan deserve to know this.
  I commend our President for trying to develop a new direction in our 
policy, but I have to tell you, putting more troops in harm's way is 
not going to help us begin to develop an exit strategy out.
  So, thank you, Mr. McGovern, and thank all of the cosponsors for 
making sure that we have at least an opportunity to say: No more blank 
checks.
  Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the ranking member on 
the Foreign Affairs Committee, the gentlewoman from Florida (Ms. Ros-
Lehtinen).
  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Thank you so much, the gentleman from California. I 
rise in strong opposition to the amendment on Afghanistan offered by 
the gentleman from Massachusetts, my friend, Mr. McGovern.
  In late March of this year, the President announced his comprehensive 
outline for Afghanistan and Pakistan, highlighting the threat to 
critical U.S. security interests that would arise should al Qaeda and 
the Taliban reclaim or establish safe havens in those countries. The 
President clearly outlined our goals to disrupt, to dismantle, and to 
defeat al Qaeda. I agree with him on those goals. But success requires 
a sustained commitment and sustained support for both the mission and 
the brave Americans and Afghanis carrying it out.
  Our strategy is meeting with success, yet the McGovern amendment is 
already looking for an exit strategy. This amendment sends a terrible 
message about U.S. resolve to both friends and foes alike.
  And we're not alone in this concern. It's precisely why the Obama 
administration also opposes the McGovern amendment, stating that the 
McGovern amendment, ``would demonstrate a lack of commitment to the new 
strategy, it will signal to our Afghan partners that the U.S. presence 
and efforts in country are fleeting, and it demonstrates to al Qaeda 
that we are not intending to see this new strategy through.''
  It could hamper U.S. strategic goals in the entire region. Rather 
than focusing on an exit strategy, we should instead be focused on 
working with the Obama administration to provide the necessary 
flexibility to craft policies that offer the best chance of success, 
while ensuring congressional consultation and congressional 
notification.
  The underlying bill provides this balance. And that's why Chairman 
Skelton, Ranking Member McKeon, Chairman Berman and I ask our 
colleagues to support U.S. efforts in Afghanistan and oppose the 
McGovern amendment.

                              {time}  1100

  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself 15 seconds.
  All we are trying to do is fill in the holes of the strategy that 
President Obama has already articulated. I think the American people 
would welcome that. I think the Afghan people would welcome that. The 
notion that we are sending our men and women into harm's way without a 
clearly defined mission, which includes a beginning, middle and end, to 
me, is a mistake.
  Mr. Chairman, I would yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman from 
North Carolina (Mr. Jones).
  Mr. JONES. Mr. Chairman, I thank the gentleman from Massachusetts.
  I respect everyone's position and everyone's right, but I would like 
to say that To Die For a Mystique is an article written by Andrew 
Bacevich, who I quoted just a few minutes ago, subtitled The Lessons 
Our Leaders Didn't Learn From the Vietnam War. Here we are, extending 
an 8-year commitment of our troops in Afghanistan. What's going to 
happen 3 or 4 years from now if we're in the same situation? And then 
we're talking about a 12-, 14-16-year commitment.
  Look at what the Russians did. They went there and spent 10 years and 
billions of dollars, and thousands of Russians were killed. Look at 
Alexander the Great. He tried to conquer Afghanistan. He failed. Look 
at what the British did, and they couldn't make it. We're not talking 
about a pull-out. We're just saying, have an end point to your war 
strategy that the American people will understand and really, more 
important than the American people, our military. They're tired. 
They're worn out. They will keep going. They go back five, six, seven, 
eight times. But ask a military family down at Camp LeJeune, You want 
to send your husband or wife back for the sixth time to Afghanistan? 
We're 8 years behind the fight because we never should have gone into 
Iraq. Let's not make the same mistake they made during the Vietnam era.
  Thank you, Mr. McGovern, for introducing this amendment. On behalf of 
our country and our troops, thank you very much.
  Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the chairman of the 
Armed Services Committee, the gentleman from Missouri, Chairman 
Skelton.
  Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Chairman, I respectfully disagree with this 
amendment, and I respectfully oppose it. This amendment sends exactly 
the wrong message, focusing on an exit strategy

[[Page H7340]]

which may well reinforce the perception among the Afghans that we're 
not committed to protecting them from the Taliban and al Qaeda.
  Mr. Chairman, we have a new commander on the ground. We've added tens 
of thousands of troops. We're adding hundreds of civilian experts. We 
should not undermine those efforts. Commanders make a difference. As 
you know, we have General McChrystal who has replaced General McKiernan 
in Afghanistan. History shows that new commanders make a big 
difference. Let's give General McChrystal the opportunity to show what 
American troops, American civilians, the State Department and others 
can do. History shows that. President Lincoln replaced General 
McClellan, General Burnside, General Hooker, General Meade and finally 
ended up with a man by the name of Grant. General Auchinleck was 
replaced by Bernard Montgomery, and the great Battle of El Alamein came 
to pass.
  Let's give General McChrystal the opportunity. Further let me add, 
Mr. Chairman, this amendment is intended to get the administration to 
lay out its strategy; but section 1217 of our bill already requires the 
administration to lay out goals, to lay out timelines and conduct 
regular assessments. That's the way General McChrystal should be 
judged. Let's do that.
  I do oppose this amendment very respectfully.
  The Acting CHAIR. The Chair will note that the gentleman from 
Massachusetts has 1\3/4\ minutes remaining, and the gentleman from 
California has 3\1/4\ minutes remaining.
  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Chairman, I am the final speaker on my side so I 
will let the gentleman proceed.
  Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, at this time I am happy to yield 1 minute 
to a young man who joined the Marine Corps the day after 9/11, served 
two tours in Iraq and one in Afghanistan and is a member of the Armed 
Services Committee, the gentleman from California (Mr. Hunter).
  Mr. HUNTER. I thank the ranking member, and I would like to associate 
myself with the chairman's remarks on this issue.
  I think I'm the only one on the floor here who's actually served in 
Afghanistan. I served twice in Iraq as a United States Marine. I would 
have to respectfully oppose this amendment, and the reason is this: The 
best exit strategy is to actually win. That's the best exit strategy. 
To go in there, win the fight, kill al Qaeda, kill Taliban, have the 
State Department work with the local Afghan people, then we can leave 
after we have success over there. That's how we won in Iraq. We won in 
Iraq. Once we stopped worrying about losing, we had the surge, and now 
we're successful in Iraq. That's what we need in Afghanistan. The way 
that we're going to lose Afghanistan is if we start focusing on how 
we're going to pull out successfully. What we need to do is win, win 
hard, and win strong, and then we can all come home.
  The Acting CHAIR. The time of the gentleman has expired.
  Mr. McKEON. I yield the gentleman an additional 30 seconds.
  Mr. HUNTER. I thank the ranking member from California.
  I respectfully oppose this amendment. As a United States Marine, as a 
U.S. Congressman and representing all of our men and women in uniform 
fighting for us right now, let's win, get the job done, and then we can 
come home.
  Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself the balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from California is recognized for 2 
minutes.
  Mr. McKEON. I think Mr. Hunter just stated it very clearly. The exit 
strategy should be to win, and then bring our forces home. It was 
stated earlier that General Petraeus made a statement that Afghanistan 
has been known over the years as a graveyard of empires, and we cannot 
take that history lightly. That was part of a speech that he gave.
  I would like to say some other things that he mentioned in that 
speech:
  ``We have a hugely important interest in ensuring that Afghanistan 
does not once again become a sanctuary for transnational terrorists. 
And to complement and capitalize on the increased military resources, 
more civilian assets, adequate financial resources, close civil-
military cooperation and a comprehensive approach that encompasses 
regional states will be necessary. Our objectives are of enormous 
importance. We all need to summon the will and the resources necessary 
to make the most of it.''
  It was just a couple of years ago when we were having a similar 
debate when we were being told by some that we needed to get out of 
Iraq, that there was no way we could win, and General Petraeus was 
called to lead the surge. And now he is telling us how we can win in 
Afghanistan. Mr. Chairman, I think now is not time to be retreating. 
Now is not the time when we're sending 20,000 troops and are ready to 
embark on this surge to win, to help the people of Afghanistan and 
preserve our national interests there. Now is the time to let the 
forces know that we support them. We support their mission. We want 
them to be successful and return home safely.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself the remaining time.
  Mr. Chairman, everyone acknowledges that there is no military 
solution in Afghanistan, only a political solution; but we are putting 
billions of dollars into building up our military presence without a 
clear vision of how to bring our troops home, an exit strategy, for 
lack of a better term. Every military mission has a beginning, a 
middle, a time of transition and an end. But I have yet to see that 
vision articulated in any document, speech or briefing.
  We're not asking for an immediate withdrawal. We're surely not 
talking about cutting or running or retreating. Just a plan. If there's 
no military solution for Afghanistan, then please, just tell us how we 
will know when our military contribution to the political solution has 
ended. Requiring an outline for how our military operations are to 
proceed in Afghanistan so that Congress can effectively weigh the level 
of investment, both human and financial, is called doing our job, 
something this body neglected to do throughout the past 8 years.
  I welcome the reports, the time frames, the matrixes included in H.R. 
2647. But once again, we're trying to define what the administration 
has failed to articulate for itself. When I first ran for Congress, I 
promised my constituents that I would never, ever send our servicemen 
and -women into a war without a clearly defined mission and a clear 
vision of how we would bring them home safely to their families and to 
their loved ones. I am sticking to that promise. Please support the 
McGovern-Jones-Lee-Pingree amendment.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the 
gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. McGovern).
  The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the noes 
appeared to have it.
  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Chairman, I demand a recorded vote.
  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further 
proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from 
Massachusetts will be postponed.


                Amendment No. 4 Offered by Mr. McGOVERN

  The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 4 
printed in House Report 111-182.
  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Chairman, I have an amendment at the desk.
  The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       Amendment No. 4 offered by Mr. McGovern:
       At the end of subtitle E of title X of the bill, add the 
     following new section:

     SEC. 10XX. PUBLIC DISCLOSURE OF NAMES OF STUDENTS AND 
                   INSTRUCTORS AT WESTERN HEMISPHERE INSTITUTE FOR 
                   SECURITY COOPERATION.

       Section 2166 of title 10, United States Code, is amended by 
     adding at the end the following new subsection:
       ``(j) Public Disclosure of Students and Instructors.--(1) 
     The Secretary of Defense shall release to the public, upon 
     request, the information described in paragraph (2) for each 
     of fiscal years 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009, and any 
     fiscal year thereafter.
       ``(2) The information to be released under paragraph (1) 
     shall include the following with respect to the fiscal year 
     covered:
       ``(A) The entire name, including the first, middle, and 
     maternal and paternal surnames, with respect to each student 
     and instructor at the Institute.

[[Page H7341]]

       ``(B) The rank of each student and instructor.
       ``(C) The country of origin of each student and instructor.
       ``(D) The courses taken by each student.
       ``(E) The courses taught by each instructor.
       ``(F) Any years of attendance by each student in addition 
     to the fiscal year covered.''.

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 572, the gentleman 
from Massachusetts (Mr. McGovern) and a Member opposed each will 
control 5 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Massachusetts.
  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself 1\1/2\ minutes.
  This amendment is identical to the amendment approved by the House 
last year. Its purpose is quite simple: for over 40 years, the names of 
students and instructors at the former U.S. Army School of the Americas 
and now the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation were 
available to the public. All you had to do was make a phone call, write 
a letter, file a FOIA request, and the names were provided.
  Suddenly in August 2006, the names became classified. The only reason 
cited by the Defense Department for denying the names was that the list 
includes personal information, but nothing about the request had 
changed. No one had asked for new information and certainly none of a 
personal nature. So for the past 3 years, the names of graduates and 
instructors at WHINSEC have remained secret. Well--almost secret. Names 
constantly pop up in WHINSEC PR materials, sometimes with a photo; but 
the public is still denied access.
  In over four decades of public access, not once has there ever been a 
whisper that the military officers attending WHINSEC were targets. And 
those were some pretty turbulent years with coups in the southern cone, 
civil wars in Central America, drug lords, drug cartels and armed 
groups in the Andes, especially Colombia and Peru. Not a hint that 
attending the school was dangerous.
  The WHINSEC is supposed to be a model for transparency, 
accountability, and respect for civil society and human rights. What 
signal does the school send to its Latin American counterparts about 
our democratic values when it denies access to information that has 
been available for decades? Vote to restore public access to this 
amendment. Vote for this amendment.
  I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to the amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from California is recognized for 5 
minutes.
  Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself as much time as I may 
consume.
  I rise in strong opposition to this amendment. While my colleagues on 
the opposite side of the aisle will argue that disclosing the personal 
information of the students and instructors of WHINSEC is in the name 
of transparency and good oversight, what they're actually suggesting is 
that the United States does not respect the privacy of foreign citizens 
and, more specifically, our allies in the western hemisphere who are 
invited to attend the U.S. military schools.
  What concerns me is that this amendment exposes WHINSEC's students 
and instructors, which includes U.S. citizens, to hostile personal 
hazards, such as identity theft and surveillance, intimidation or 
attack from foreign intelligence security and terrorist organizations.
  In terms of oversight, Congress already receives the information. We 
just received a copy of the attendees for 2008, and we were able to 
keep our partners and their families safe. I think it's important to 
recognize that WHINSEC is an important tool for strengthening security 
cooperation with our key allies in the western hemisphere. This 
includes Mexico, our neighbor to the south. WHINSEC provides training 
to Mexican land forces in the Spanish language and builds their 
capacity to prevail in the fight against drug trafficking, organized 
crime and other transnational threats. Such training and cooperation is 
critical to our homeland security.
  It baffles me that given the narco-fight on our border, some of my 
colleagues think that now is the right time to expose our past, current 
and future partners and deprive them of their safety and security. I 
will oppose this amendment.
  I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Missouri (Mr. Skelton), the chairman of the Armed Services Committee.
  Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Chairman, I rise in support of this amendment. The 
Western Hemisphere Institute has much to be proud of, including an 
enviable curriculum and dedicated support staff. Returning to a policy 
of public disclosure of student names and instructors will remove one 
of the lingering doubts about this school. It's come a long way, and I 
am very proud of what it does. I am a strong supporter of that school. 
Publicly revealing the names does not discourage attendance.
  According to statistics provided by the Department of Defense to the 
Center For International Policy for fiscal years 2001 through 2006, 
Latin American and Caribbean countries provided, on the average, more 
students to this institution, to this school during the time that 
WHINSEC made the names of students and instructors publicly available 
than when the institute refused to provide such information.

                              {time}  1115

  There is no real reason to withhold those names. We should be proud 
of what we do there. We want them to return to their country to be 
proud of their studies there.
  Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, at this time I yield 3 minutes to the 
gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Gingrey).
  Mr. GINGREY of Georgia. Mr. Chairman, even though my former Rules 
Committee colleague and I couldn't disagree more when it comes to 
WHINSEC, he is my good friend and I always look forward to our spirited 
debates on this matter. Predictably, I rise today to take issue with 
his amendment.
  The gentleman has stated today and in the past that the information 
on the WHINSEC students and instructors is always made available but 
that since 2005 disclosure and transparency have been lacking. To be 
clear, Mr. Chairman, the Department of Defense has provided to Congress 
the names, country of origin, and rank, courses, and dates of 
attendance of all students and instructors at WHINSEC since the year 
2005.
  Since we already know exactly who is attending WHINSEC, I am led to 
wonder, Mr. Chairman, what is the McGovern amendment trying to 
accomplish? Unfortunately, I believe that the release of personal 
information has less to do with transparency and more to do with the 
efforts to shut WHINSEC down, something that this Congress has 
repeatedly rejected. If transparency is the issue, Mr. Chairman, 
WHINSEC is open to visitors every working day. It invites people to sit 
in class, talk with the students, talk with the faculty, and review 
instructional material. This is perhaps the most open, transparent, and 
welcoming organization in the Department of Defense.
  Mr. McGovern has also stated in the past that from time to time 
WHINSEC PR materials include pictures of students and instructors, so 
why the need to protect the identities of attendees? While this may be 
true, these are not the materials that end up in the mailboxes of 
narcotraffickers and drug lords in Central and South America; however, 
these criminals do search the Internet for the names of law enforcement 
personnel who stand in their way.
  I would also note there's a big difference between the voluntary and 
involuntary publishing of the names of the WHINSEC participants. 
Obviously, an attendee who is an undercover counterdrug officer would 
be more reticent to have his or her name posted on a Web site than 
would someone who has since become a high-ranking public official.
  Mr. Chairman, every Member of this body should know that WHINSEC is 
an invaluable tool for military-to-military cooperation between us, the 
United States, and Latin America and is a vital means for strengthening 
security cooperation in the region. Publicizing the names of WHINSEC 
students in their home countries could very well lead to hostile 
attention from nations, organizations, and individuals that may wish to 
do harm to the U.S., its friends and its allies. Such publications

[[Page H7342]]

could serve as a disincentive to Central and South American, and 
Mexican, yes, Mexican students who otherwise want to attend WHINSEC and 
could discourage nations from sending their students to the school.
  It would undercut the effectiveness of WHINSEC as a tool for building 
hemispheric security cooperation and communicating the democratic 
values and respect for human rights we espouse. If our ability to 
influence the democratic trajectory of the region were diminished, it 
would be countries like Venezuela and China that would fill the void.
  The Acting CHAIR. The time of the gentleman has expired.
  Mr. McKEON. I yield the gentleman an additional minute.
  Mr. GINGREY of Georgia. I therefore believe this amendment could 
potentially do much more harm than good, and I ask all my colleagues to 
oppose it.
  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Georgia, who represents WHINSEC in his district (Mr. Bishop).
  Mr. BISHOP of Georgia. I thank the gentleman for yielding.
  I just want the Members of this House to know that I represent the 
area where WHINSEC is located, Fort Benning, Georgia. I represented 
formerly the School of the Americas. I've been involved in this debate 
year in and year out. This is my 17th year.
  The all-encompassing question is whether or not WHINSEC or its 
predecessor trained terrorists and murderers who did harm. That's an 
issue. But to create transparency, we want to make sure that this 
amendment passes so that people on both sides of the issue can get the 
facts and transparency and know who goes to the school, who teaches at 
the school, what the curriculum is. Having that be transparent is all 
we want to do, and the facts will speak for themselves.
  I support WHINSEC. It's one of the greatest tools that our country 
has for democracy in our hemisphere. It's a good opportunity for us to 
make friends, keep friends, and to cooperate. But we want to make sure 
that there is no misunderstanding, and I join with the chairman in 
supporting this amendment and ask my colleagues to do the same.
  Mr. Chair, I am pleased to co-sponsor this amendment to the FY 2010 
National Defense Authorization Act to restore public access and 
transparency to the names of students and instructors at the Western 
Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation, or WHINSEC.
  WHINSEC is located in Georgia's 2nd Congressional District at Ft. 
Benning. I have on many occasions visited the school and have supported 
the school's efforts to share its civil and military training with our 
friends and partners in Latin America. WHINSEC is a military and 
academic institution, the primary effort of which is to promote peace, 
democratic values, and respect for human rights through inter-American 
cooperation.
  I agree with my esteemed colleague, Mr. McGovern, that the school 
should provide the names of Latin American and U.S. military personnel 
who attend or teach at the school, as well as the curriculum taught at 
the school.
  This amendment brings back the former policy of disclosing attendees, 
faculty members and course offerings. Allowing this information to 
become public will protect the school from attempts to discredit its 
efforts to develop partnerships and the principles of democracy.
  It will also demonstrate to the nations of Latin America that the 
lessons learned at WHINSEC are ethnical, promote human rights, and 
provide a civil/military framework of building democratic governments.
  Please join me in supporting this effort to ensure that the 
institutions we entrust to promote democratic principles are open for 
review and discussion. I urge you to support the amendment to H.R. 
2647, the FY 2010 National Defense Authorization Act.
  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself the balance of my time.
  Mr. Chairman, my friend from Georgia (Mr. Gingrey) talked about the 
fact that the names were being released by WHINSEC. The fact he didn't 
mention is they're being released to us in a classified form so that no 
one in the public can see them. And it is not unique for this 
information to be made public. Other Army, Air Force and Navy military 
schools and training schools still provide the public with the names of 
Latin American students. I have a pile of them right here. Each one 
asserts the needs of the public interest outweigh any consideration for 
privacy. And I believe that standing up for transparency, 
accountability, and our own democratic values strengthens our national 
security and U.S.-Latin American relations. The danger comes when 
democratic values and transparency are viewed as detrimental.
  Mr. Chairman, the House approved this amendment last year; it should 
approve it again. The cosponsors of this amendment do not agree on the 
fate of WHINSEC, but we all agree that we need to restore public access 
to these names.
  Look at these lists, Mr. Chairman, all blacked out. Does this look 
like transparency? Is this democracy at work? Is this the model we want 
Latin American militaries to copy? The names were public for decades 
until August 2006. Openness was the norm, not secrecy.
  Mr. Chairman, I urge my colleagues to support this amendment and 
restore public access, restore transparency, restore accountability. It 
is the right thing to do.
  Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from California has 15 seconds 
remaining.
  Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I yield the balance of my time to the 
gentleman from California (Mr. Hunter).
  Mr. HUNTER. I thank the gentleman for yielding.
  Mr. Chairman, it's very simple: if you release the names of these 
foreign special operators that are at WHINSEC, you are literally 
encouraging their murder. The men and women fighting for justice in 
Central and South America, if you release those names, you will have 
their attempted murder on your hands if this amendment passes.
  The Acting CHAIR. All time has expired.
  The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from 
Massachusetts (Mr. McGovern).
  The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes 
appeared to have it.
  Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I demand a recorded vote.
  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further 
proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from 
Massachusetts will be postponed.

  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       At the end of subtitle C of title XII of the bill, add the 
     following new section:

     SEC. 12XX. LIMITATION ON FUNDS TO IMPLEMENT REDUCTIONS IN THE 
                   STRATEGIC NUCLEAR FORCES OF THE UNITED STATES 
                   PURSUANT TO ANY TREATY OR OTHER AGREEMENT WITH 
                   THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) In the Joint Statement by President Dmitriy Medvedev of 
     the Russian Federation and President Barack Obama of the 
     United States of America after their meeting in London, 
     England on April 1, 2009, the two Presidents agreed ``to 
     pursue new and verifiable reductions in our strategic 
     offensive arsenals in a step-by-step process, beginning by 
     replacing the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty with a new, 
     legally-binding treaty.''.
       (2) At that meeting, the two Presidents instructed their 
     negotiators to reach an agreement that ``will mutually 
     enhance the security of the Parties and predictability and 
     stability in strategic offensive forces, and will include 
     effective verification measures drawn from the experience of 
     the Parties in implementing the START Treaty.''.
       (3) Subsequently, on April 5, 2009, in a speech in Prague, 
     the Czech Republic, President Obama proclaimed: ``Iran's 
     nuclear and ballistic missile activity poses a real threat, 
     not just to the United States, but to Iran's neighbors and 
     our allies. The Czech Republic and Poland have been 
     courageous in agreeing to host a defense against these 
     missiles. As long as the threat from Iran persists, we will 
     go forward with a missile defense system that is cost-
     effective and proven.''.
       (4) President Obama also said: ``As long as these [nuclear] 
     weapons exist, the United States will maintain a safe, secure 
     and effective arsenal to deter any adversary, and guarantee 
     that defense to our allies--including the Czech Republic. But 
     we will begin the work of reducing our arsenal.''.
       (b) Limitation.--Funds authorized to be appropriated by 
     this Act or otherwise made available to the Department of 
     Defense for fiscal year 2010 may be obligated or expended to 
     implement reductions in the strategic nuclear forces of the 
     United States pursuant to any treaty or other agreement 
     entered into between the United States and the Russian 
     Federation on strategic nuclear forces after the date of 
     enactment of this Act only if the President certifies to 
     Congress that--
       (1) the treaty or other agreement provides for sufficient 
     mechanisms to verify compliance with the treaty or agreement;
       (2) the treaty or other agreement does not place 
     limitations on the ballistic missile defense systems, space 
     capabilities, or advanced conventional weapons of the United 
     States; and
       (3) the fiscal year 2011 budget request for programs of the 
     Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security 
     Administration will be sufficiently funded to--
       (A) maintain the reliability, safety, and security of the 
     remaining strategic nuclear forces of the United States; and
       (B) modernize and refurbish the nuclear weapons complex.
       (c) Report.--Not later than 90 days after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, the President shall transmit to the 
     congressional committees specified in subsection (d) a report 
     on the stockpiles of strategic and non-strategic weapons of 
     the United States and the Russian Federation.
       (d) Specified Congressional Committees.--The congressional 
     committees specified in this subsection are the following:
       (1) The Committee on Armed Services and the Committee on 
     Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives.
       (2) The Committee on Armed Services and the Committee on 
     Foreign Relations of the Senate.
       (e) Definition.--For the purposes of this section, the term 
     ``advanced conventional weapons'' means any advanced weapons 
     system that has been specifically designed not to carry a 
     nuclear payload.

     commander of the special operations command, acting under 
     authority provided by section 167(e)(4) of title 10, United 
     States Code, may award a follow-on contract for the 
     acquisition of an item to a contractor who previously 
     provided such item if--
       (1) the item is an item of special operations-peculiar 
     equipment and not anticipated to be made service common 
     within 24 months of the initial contract;
       (2) the item was previously acquired in the make, model, 
     and type--
       (A) using competitive procedures;

     permitting noncompetitive or limited competition procurement 
     actions (such as section 8(a) of the Small Business Act (15

     (15 U.S.C. 657f, relating to procurement program for small 
     business concerns owned and controlled by service-disabled 
     veterans)); or
       (C) as a result of a competition among a limited number of 
     sources on the basis that the disclosure of the need for the 
     item would compromise national security; and
       (3) the acquisition of the item by means other than a 
     follow-on contract with the contractor would unduly delay the 
     fielding of such item to forces preparing for or 
     participating in overseas contingency operations or for other 
     deployments undertaken in response to a request from a 
     combatant commander.
       (b) Limitations.--A contract awarded using the authority in 
     subsection (a)--
       (1) may have a period of performance of not longer than one 
     year;
       (2) may be used only to acquire one or more items having an 
     individual unit price under $100,000; and
       (3) may have a total value not exceeding $25,000,000.
       (c) Notification.--Not later than 45 days after the use of 
     the authority in subsection (a), the commander of the special 
     operations command shall submit to the congressional defense 
     committees a notification of the use of such authority.
       (d) Termination of Authority.--The commander of the special 
     operations command may not use the authority in subsection 
     (a) on and after October 1, 2013.

     earmark, the reasons why competitive procedures were not 
     used, including a discussion of the decision making process 
     and how the decision to use procedures other than competitive 
     procedures was reached.

               Amendment No. 64 Offered by Mr. Blumenauer

  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       At the end of subtitle B of title III (page 94, after line 
     2), insert the following new section:

     SEC. 316. MILITARY MUNITIONS RESPONSE SITES.

       (a) Information Sharing.--Section 2710(a)(2)(B) of title 
     10, United States Code, is amended by inserting ``, county,''

     Program; and
       (2) evaluate and report on the progress of such programs in 
     the Defense Environmental Program's Annual Report to 
     Congress.

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 572, the gentleman 
from Missouri (Mr. Skelton) and the gentleman from California (Mr. 
McKeon) each will control 10 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Missouri.
  Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Chairman, I urge the committee to adopt the 
amendments en bloc, all of which have been examined by both the 
majority and the minority.
  At this time I yield 3 minutes to my friend, the gentleman from 
Oregon (Mr. Blumenauer).
  Mr. BLUMENAUER. I appreciate the gentleman's courtesy as I appreciate 
his leadership in an area that has been of concern for me for a long 
time, the disappointing and widespread environmental legacy of the 
Department of Defense. In every State, communities must deal with 
former training grounds contaminated with live bombs, leftover shells, 
leaking chemicals.
  I have a map here. Every single State, every territory of the United 
States--and it is an ongoing problem. In June, in Florida, fishermen 
hauled aboard a live guided missile. On May 22 a farmer plowing his 
field overturned a live rocket.
  We need to be more serious about it, and I appreciate the committee's 
help, first of all, in focusing with the Department of Defense, 
requiring the Secretary to report clearly the funding levels requested 
for the program. We have a new administration. We hope there will be a 
new commitment to work on this. With additional transparency, we are 
much more likely to know at least where we are. It's also time for 
military to be proactive and reduce the amount of munitions generated 
in the first place.
  I'm pleased that they have agreed to another amendment offered by my 
friend Ms. Brown-Waite from Florida to require the Department of 
Defense to think strategically about ways to lessen the long-term 
health and environmental consequences, specifically, development of 
lifecycle accounting for munitions, review of live-fire practicing, and 
recommending ways to reduce the costs and incidents of unexploded 
ordnance. Smarter procurement and testing will reduce the long-term 
impacts of munition, saving money, resources, having safer American 
lands and more successful operations abroad.
  Just a few volleys of a standard rocket system with a 5 percent 
failure rate generates thousands of unexploded ordnance for training 
lands here at home, and it complicates our missions abroad. Consider 
the plight of civilian populations in Iraq and Afghanistan, the 
millions who will rebuild their lives amidst the munitions wreckage 
left over the last 6 years of combat.
  This is a problem at home in the United States. This is a problem 
abroad. It is time for us to face up to it. I appreciate the 
committee's leadership in helping zero in on it. I hope we can do a 
better job because it will save money while it saves lives at home and 
abroad.
  I enter into the Record a list of Munitions and Unexploded Ordnance, 
UXO, incidents and news for May and June 2009.

  Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I yield at this time 1 minute to the 
gentlewoman from Florida (Ms. Ginny Brown-Waite).
  Ms. GINNY BROWN-WAITE of Florida. Mr. Chairman, I rise in support of 
my amendment to the National Defense Authorization funding, which is 
included in en bloc 1. I thank Chairman Skelton and also Ranking Member 
McKeon for allowing this amendment to be included.
  In 2005 the Department of Army authorized the creation of the Combat 
Action Badge to provide special recognition to soldiers who personally 
engage the enemy during combat operations. This is a very honorable 
distinction. However, the award limits eligibility for this badge to 
those soldiers

[[Page H7347]]

that served after September 18, 2001, overlooking the thousands of 
veterans who have made similar sacrifices in previous wars.
  My amendment corrects this error by expanding eligibility to include 
those soldiers who have served since December 7, 1941. In accordance 
with the wishes of those veterans who may be eligible for this badge, 
the costs of it would be borne by the individuals, not the military. 
Therefore, not only does this award recognize veterans who engage the 
enemy in combat, but it does so at no additional cost to the Army.
  The Acting CHAIR. The time of the gentlewoman has expired.
  Mr. McKEON. I yield the gentlewoman an additional 15 seconds.
  Ms. GINNY BROWN-WAITE of Florida. I urge my colleagues to support 
this amendment.
  Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Chairman, at this time I yield 1 minute to my 
friend, a member of the Armed Services Committee, the gentlewoman from 
New Hampshire (Ms. Shea-Porter).
  Ms. SHEA-PORTER. Mr. Chairman, this amendment would ban the use of 
open-air burn pits overseas after 12 months. Such a dangerous waste 
disposal method should only be used temporarily while a permanent and 
safe alternative is developed. The amendment specifically prohibits the 
burning of medical and hazardous waste or solid waste containing 
plastic in open-air pits. The burning of such wastes produces chemicals 
that have proven toxic to humans and represents an unacceptable health 
risk.

                              {time}  1130

  The U.S. military has been disposing of hundreds of tons of war zone 
waste through burn pits. All who live and work on these bases are 
routinely exposed to the smoke from these pits, which includes waste 
from medical facilities, dining facilities, maintenance facilities, as 
well as trash. To imagine the scale of these burn pits, the one at 
Balad Air Base in Iraq has increased from 2 tons per day early on to 
several hundred tons per day.
  We simply must protect our troops who have had repeated exposure to 
this. We do not wish to see an Agent Orange situation develop here. And 
so I ask that we set some limits on the burning of these pits.
  These pits pose a very serious health risk to our troops. Of the 
nearly 2 million servicemembers who have deployed, a significant 
portion has been exposed to the fumes and smoke from such burn pits. Up 
to now, we have continued to dispose of solid wastes this way. But 6 
years in Iraq and 8 years in Afghanistan is far longer than anyone can 
possibly justify as an emergency measure. I understand that sometimes 
they may have to do this for 3 or 6 or even 12 months, but it has been 
8 years!
  In the past, we've been to slow to acknowledge the health effects of 
Agent Orange and Gulf War Illness. We cannot let that happen to our 
servicemembers again. For decades, it was impossible for them to access 
the VA medical services they needed and deserved because there was no 
recognition of the damage Agent Orange had done. We saw this again, 
after the Gulf war. In 2008, a study by the National Academy of 
Sciences validated what veterans of the Gulf War already knew--that 
Persian Gulf War illness is very real.
  There is a good reason why it is illegal to have open-air burn pits 
for disposal of medical and hazardous wastes in our country: they 
pollute and degrade the environment, and harm people's health. If we 
wanted to burn those chemicals here in America and expose people here, 
the EPA would swoop down, and we'd be penalized because you can't do 
that. And why can't you do it--because it's dangerous to our health.
  If we support the troops, don't we also support their health? Don't 
we have the same concerns about their health when they're supporting 
our country and fighting overseas as we do when they live here in our 
communities? When they deploy, our servicemembers put their lives at 
risk to fight for us, and do not deserve to suffer this added, 
unjustifiable risk. Preventable environmental hazards must not result 
in ruined health or lost lives.
  This amendment takes a critically important step toward addressing 
the health risks that burn pits pose to our troops. It has been 
endorsed by the American Legion, DAV, IAVA, MOAA, the National Guard 
Association, Veterans and Military Families for Progress, and the VFW. 
And I thank my friend, Mr. Bishop, for being a leader on this issue and 
standing up for our troops.
  Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I am happy to yield at this time to Mr. 
Turner, the gentleman from Ohio, subcommittee ranking member, 2 
minutes.
  Mr. TURNER. Thank you, Ranking Member McKeon. I want to thank our 
chairman for his support for an amendment that's in the en bloc.
  Two weeks ago, Jim Marshall and I introduced the NATO First bill. 
With the chairman's support, six out of eight of the provisions of that 
bill are included in some form of the National Defense Authorization 
Act that recognized support for our allies in Europe. As the U.S. and 
Russia begin our START negotiations of the previous START Treaty 
expiring at the end of 2009, it's important for us to set some 
framework.
  This amendment would limit the use of FY 2010 defense funds to 
implement reductions for U.S. strategic nuclear forces pursuant to a 
treaty with Russia, for example, START, unless the President certifies 
that the treaty: one, provides sufficient verification mechanisms; two, 
does not limit U.S. ballistic missile defense systems capabilities or 
advanced conventional weapons capabilities; and that the National 
Nuclear Security Administration is sufficiently funded. The amendment 
also requires a report on U.S. and Russian nonstrategic nuclear 
weapons.
  I want to thank Roger Zakheim from our staff, who worked diligently 
for the drafting of the NATO First bill and also for the accomplishment 
of these amendments.
  I want to thank the chairman who has continued to work in a 
bipartisan way to accomplish a number of provisions in this bill that 
are important to our national security, and I believe this is certainly 
one of them.
  Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Chairman, the gentleman from Georgia desires to have 
a colloquy at this point, Mr. Kingston.
  Mr. KINGSTON. I thank the gentleman for yielding.
  I rise today in strong support for the community of Hinesville, 
Georgia, and Liberty County. I commend the area for their ardent 
support of our troops and the Army at Fort Stewart, which has 
continuously engaged in the challenging missions in the defense of our 
Nation around the globe.
  November 2007, the Army announced that Fort Stewart would receive 
another brigade combat team using the findings of the 2005 Base 
Realignment and Closure Committee, along with Fort Bliss and Fort 
Carson. Since that time, the community installation and Congress have 
geared up and invested for that growth. Working with post leadership 
and the Pentagon, Congress appropriated funds for military construction 
projects such as barracks, buildings, and operation facilities at $154 
million for FY 2008 and $352 million for FY09. Clearly the Army has 
invested greatly to maintain Fort Stewart's tradition as an award-
winning installation of excellence.
  At the urging of the Army staff and the military leadership on post, 
the Hinesville community stepped forward to be sure that the new troops 
would have adequate housing and public infrastructure. The Department 
of Defense also sent the Office of Economic Adjustment to assist the 
community to properly prepare for the arrival of the new brigade combat 
team. Investments were made for new schools, roads, infrastructure.
  Banks made many loans to property developers who, in turn, purchased 
land and accelerated their efforts to provide homes and commercial 
properties to support the arrival of over 10,000 soldiers and family. 
However, the decision announced by the Army this June has brought all 
this economic activity to a halt. While some of this infrastructure 
will be used or absorbed in time, it is clear that without the arrival 
of the brigade combat team, the city has overbuilt and overinvested.
  The economic hardship would not have occurred without the BRAC-based 
decision to bring additional troops and the Army's insistence that 
Hinesville get aggressively involved. The community support in Fort 
Stewart still has much to offer for the Army.
  I stand here in support of the provisions within this bill that will 
help address the hardship incurred by the small rural communities that 
support Fort Stewart.
  Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Chairman, I am pleased to respond to the gentleman 
from Georgia. He has a long record of support and advocacy for Fort 
Stewart and our Nation's Armed Forces, and I

[[Page H7348]]

am pleased to inform that gentleman that language has been included in 
this bill to direct the Secretary of Defense to carefully consider the 
economic impact of this policy change on local communities and to 
provide to the Congress information about the Department's efforts to 
mitigate the negative effects. This includes a report on any new 
enduring missions planned for the bases affected, including a summary 
of the Department's plans to lessen the economic hardship or investment 
loss.
  I would be happy to work with the gentleman and the Secretary of 
Defense, of course, to consider how to address the negative impact of 
recent basing decisions on the local communities that so strongly 
support our troops.
  Mr. KINGSTON. I thank the gentleman for his kind words of support for 
the patriotic and hardworking people in the communities surrounding 
Fort Stewart, and I appreciate the chairman's support to work with me 
through this year's National Defense Authorization Act to ensure that 
the Army and the local communities can continue to have strong 
partnerships in the support of the troops.
  The Acting CHAIR. The Chair will note that the gentleman from 
California has 7\3/4\ minutes remaining, and the gentleman from 
Missouri has 3 minutes remaining.
  Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, at this time, I yield 2 minutes to the 
gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Kirk).
  Mr. KIRK. I thank our ranking member, Mr. McKeon, and especially our 
chairman, Ike Skelton, for approving one of the amendments in the en 
bloc.
  In December, I became the first Member of this House to serve in an 
imminent danger area in Afghanistan in uniform. During my time, I 
learned that most NATO soldiers with our command only deployed for 6 
months and Americans deployed for 12. Only State and USAID personnel 
served for years in Afghanistan.
  Major General Flynn, our former J-2 of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, now 
head of all intelligence for the African command under General 
McChrystal, convinced me that we need a core of experts in uniform who 
can deliver on years of commitment to the Afghan deployment, who can 
build especially an expertise in the Afghan languages of Dari and 
Pashtu. This amendment, the Larsen-Kirk amendment, allows a for-the-
duration incentive for members of the military wishing to make a 
deployment to Afghanistan.
  It's for-the-duration deployments that helped us win World War II. 
DOD and senior commanders feel that this language that will build a 
dedicated long-term Afghan core of enlisted officers will quickly 
become the leaders of our Afghan NATO effort.
  Based on our bipartisan bill that Congressman Larsen and I 
introduced, our bill would lay out a $250,000 payment for a soldier 
willing to make a for-the-duration commitment and another $250,000 for 
a 4.0 or better score in Pashtu or Dari. In my discussions with the 
troops currently in the field in Kandahar, they are pumped up about the 
opportunity that this commitment would be.
  I feel that only a small number of soldiers would sign up, but each 
one of them, if strategically placed in key Afghan provinces, would 
become vital assets to our effort and the success of President Obama's 
campaign in Afghanistan. And I really applaud the chairman and the 
ranking minority member for putting this in the bill.
  Mr. ANDREWS. I am pleased to yield 1 minute to my friend and 
colleague, the gentleman from New York (Mr. Bishop).
  Mr. BISHOP of New York. I thank the chairman for yielding.
  I rise to join my colleague, Representative Carol Shea-Porter, in 
urging my colleagues to support our amendment which would ban the use 
of open burn pits in war zones.
  Disturbing reports are coming to light every day about the reckless 
disposal of hazardous waste in open burn pits in Iraq and Afghanistan 
and the devastating toll they are taking on the health of hundreds of 
our service men and women. It is encouraging that Secretary Shinseki 
and Secretary Gates have responded to our questions and stated they 
have taken seriously our concerns about the danger of burn pits, but 
this legislation is necessary to see to it that this action takes 
place.
  The legislation is endorsed by the American Legion, by the DAV, by 
the IAVA, by the National Guard Association, and by the VFW. I urge its 
passage.
  Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of our time.
  Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to my friend, a member of 
the Armed Services Committee, the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Nye) for 
1 minute.
  Mr. NYE. I would like to thank the chairman for yielding.
  Mr. Speaker, a lot of the legislation that comes through this House 
deals with obscure technical points in Federal programs that most 
Americans have never and will never hear of.
  However, the amendment that I have introduced, along with my good 
friends and colleagues from Virginia, Mr. Gerry Connolly and Mr. Tom 
Perriello, is a commonsense solution to a common problem faced by our 
military personnel.
  In my district of Hampton Roads, many men and women are regularly 
deployed overseas to Iraq and Afghanistan. When a soldier, sailor, 
airman, or marine is preparing to leave their home and family to serve 
their country in harm's way, the last thing he or she should have to 
worry about is paying a cell phone contract termination fee.
  In the last Congress, legislation was passed to allow deployed 
servicemembers to exit an individual cell phone contract without paying 
a penalty, and this amendment will extend that same protection to 
military personnel whose phones are registered through family plans.
  The amendment is supported by the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of 
America, and I urge all my colleagues to join me in easing the burden 
on our men and women in uniform.
  Mr. McKEON. I yield, at this time, 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Arizona (Mr. Franks), a member of the committee.
  Mr. FRANKS of Arizona. I thank the distinguished gentleman.
  Mr. Chairman, I want to say that I support the Hastings amendment 
because it tries to make sure that groups determined by the Attorney 
General to be of violent or extremist nature are not recruited into 
military service. But I take some offense that one of the Cabinet-level 
officials of our government categorized people who are, quote, 
dedicated to a single issue such as opposition to abortion or 
immigration as right-wing extremists, and I am concerned that the 
amendment might be misunderstood.
  And I would like to hear from the other side that this is not the 
intent of the amendment and that we would make sure that someone that 
was dedicated to the patriotism and protecting their country, which it 
takes a certain amount of extreme dedication to go out and pour one's 
blood on a foreign battlefield for the cause of human freedom, and I 
want to make sure that those individuals are not considered extremists 
under Mr. Hastings' part of the en bloc amendment.
  Would anyone speak to that on the other side?
  The Acting CHAIR. Is the gentleman asking someone to yield?
  Mr. FRANKS of Arizona. Yes, I would yield to the chairman.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman's time has expired, however.
  Mr. SKELTON. I yield to the gentleman.
  Mr. FRANKS of Arizona. I guess I am asking the chairman of the 
committee that the Hastings amendment would not include--the definition 
of right-wing extremists would not be included in the amendment that's 
being offered by the Hastings amendment under the en bloc.
  Mr. SKELTON. We will have to check, just a moment.
  Mr. FRANKS of Arizona. Mr. Chairman, maybe I could just ask for your 
assurances that people dedicated to single issues in this country such 
as opposition to abortion or immigration would not be considered 
extremists and not be disallowed into the military; at least, that 
would not be your intent under this amendment.
  Mr. SKELTON. That is correct.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Missouri. The gentleman from 
Missouri has three-quarters of a minute remaining.
  Mr. SKELTON. I yield the balance of my time to the to the gentleman 
from Virginia (Mr. Connolly).

[[Page H7349]]

  Mr. CONNOLLY of Virginia. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
  Mr. Chairman, I am pleased to introduce this amendment with my fellow 
Virginians Mr. Nye and Mr. Perriello. During the 110th Congress, the 
Servicemembers Civil Relief Act did address cell phone and property 
lease contracts for active-duty deployed. However, they did not 
address--they addressed individual cell phone contracts and individual 
leases. They did not provide that protection to family cell phone 
plans.
  As a result, we have servicemembers who are finding themselves having 
to continue to pay obligations to cell phone companies. Under the motor 
vehicle section of our amendment, the leasing agent may not charge an 
early termination penalty, something also not addressed in SCRA last 
year.
  This is a practical amendment that will help our active-duty deployed 
and their families make sure that they are safe and secure from this 
kind of hounding when they are serving their country overseas.
  The Acting CHAIR. The time of the gentleman has expired.

                              {time}  1145

  Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I continue to reserve, unless the chairman 
needs more time.
  The Acting CHAIR. The majority has no time remaining.
  Mr. McKEON. I yield such time as he may consume to the gentleman from 
Missouri.
  Mr. SKELTON. I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. 
Perriello).
  Mr. PERRIELLO. Mr. Chairman, I am proud to rise today with my 
freshmen colleagues from Virginia, Gerry Connolly and Glenn Nye, for 
this commonsense solution.
  When our men and women in uniform are deployed, they should not be 
punished; they should be celebrated. This is a commonsense fix to 
ensure that there are no termination fees when cutting off a cell phone 
contract or an auto leasing deal for our troops when they deploy.
  This is the sort of thing that I think the new class came here to do; 
see a problem, find a solution, and bring it to this floor. We are 
proud today to do this for all of those who serve, and we request 
support for the amendment.
  Mr. BERMAN. Mr. Chair, I rise in opposition to the Turner amendment 
to H.R. 2647.
  While I appreciate the fact that the gentleman incorporated a number 
of changes suggested by the Chairman of the Armed Services Committee--
which clearly improved the text--and that this debate is about what 
kind of a strategic force reduction agreement to have, rather than 
whether to have one at all, I remain concerned about the timing of this 
amendment.
  It is offered as President Obama is preparing to embark on an 
important visit to Moscow, where he and Russian President Medvedev will 
hold a summit to discuss a range of critical issues, including the 
negotiation of a new agreement on U.S. and Russian strategic nuclear 
forces.
  Limiting the scope of a future treaty on the eve of these sensitive 
discussions would make it much more difficult for the President to 
negotiate an agreement that adequately protects U.S. national security 
interests.
  Indeed, imposing these limits would only give Russian negotiators 
additional leverage over the United States as these negotiations begin.
  Aside from the fact that this amendment undermines the U.S. 
negotiating posture, the Executive Branch would almost surely declare 
that this provision infringes on the President's constitutional 
authority. So we are providing the Russians with leverage on a 
provision that the President is likely to treat as advisory. I simply 
don't think this is the right approach.
  In a more general sense, the amendment would also undermine the 
President's efforts to improve relations with Russia, and particularly 
to increase cooperation with Moscow on preventing Iran from developing 
a nuclear weapons capability.
  Mr. Chair, for all of these reasons, I urge my colleagues to oppose 
the Turner amendment.
  Mr. COHEN. Mr. Chair, I would like to thank Chairman Skelton, Ranking 
Member McKeon, and former Ranking Member McHugh for their tireless work 
to put together this year's National Defense Authorization Act.
  My amendment to the NDAA directs the Department of Defense to report 
on the potential effects of expanding the current statute regarding 
directing disposition of remains of a servicemember who dies in combat. 
The DOD is to report back to Congress within 180 days with their 
findings.
  I filed this amendment because the current policy under 10 U.S.C. 
1482 is too restrictive, limiting the individuals who can be designated 
to a spouse, blood relative, or adoptive parent.
  In today's society, many families are not as simple as that.
  Specialist Christopher Fox of Memphis, only 21 years old, was on his 
second tour in Iraq and was due to be discharged from the Army in July 
of this year.
  However, he died in Iraq on September 29, 2008 of wounds sustained 
when he encountered small-arms fire while on patrol.
  Specialist Fox wanted his mother-figure--the woman who was awarded 
temporary custody when he was seventeen--to oversee his burial 
arrangements.
  Her name was listed on the DD93 form filled out by Specialist Fox to 
direct disposition of his remains, as required by the DOD.
  However, due to Federal law, DOD could not allow his written intent 
to be carried out.
  I know that Specialist Fox is not alone in wanting someone other than 
a spouse or blood relative to oversee their burial arrangements.
  Expansion of the 10 U.S.C. 1482 is supported by the Air Force 
Association, AMVETS, the National Guard Association of the United 
States, the National Association of Uniformed Services, the United 
States Army Warrant Officers Association, and the Vietnam Veterans of 
America.
  We need to remember the sacrifices of our servicemembers and do what 
we can to honor their memory and their wishes.
  It is with this purpose that I filed this amendment to require the 
DOD to study the current statute. I urge my colleagues to support and 
pass this amendment.
  Mr. COSTA. Mr. Chair, I rise today asking my colleagues support an 
amendment to H.R. 2647, the National Defense Authorization Act for 
FY10. This amendment would request the Secretary of Defense to carry 
out a study and submit to the congressional defense committees a report 
on the distribution of hemostatic agents to ensure each branch of the 
military is complying with their own policies on hemostatic agents.
  Since the American Civil War, the percentage of our men and women 
that are killed in action has remained unchanged at approximately 
twenty percent, despite the numerous advances in battlefield equipment 
and treatment. The American Red Cross also estimates that half of all 
military deaths on the battlefield are a result of excessive blood 
loss. All branches of our Armed Services are using hemostatic agents, 
which are either surgical gauze with blood clotting agents or a 
granular powder, which have been proven to save the lives of soldiers 
and Marines.
  In February 2003, the Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care, an 
organization made up of over 30 military and civilian doctors, 
recommended that all combatants carry hemostatic dressings. Military 
Medicine published a report in January 2005 which stated that ``the use 
of effective hemostatic dressings will benefit most combat injuries 
(whether they are life threatening or not) because better hemorrhage 
control is always advantageous.''
  It is clear that the men and women who are risking their lives in 
combat zones should have access to any and all life saving items, 
including hemostatic agents. Also, these combat zones can be extremely 
hostile and the terrain can be extreme, resulting in delays in 
evacuating injured soldiers or Marines. We need to ensure that not only 
field medical staff is supplied with these life saving items, but 
ensure that each solider and Marine has one in their individual first 
aid kit as well.
  This amendment also includes a Sense of Congress that every member of 
the Armed Services deployed in a combat zone should carry a hemostatic 
agent and asks the Department of Defense to submit a report back to 
Congress on how these agents are distributued and where distribution 
problems may occur.
  I want to thank Chairman Skelton and Ranking Member McKeon for 
accepting this amendment. Also, I want to thank both of them and their 
staff for their hard work on this authorization.
  Mr. SMITH of New Jersey. Mr. Chair, today I am offering an amendment 
to the fiscal year 2010 National Defense Authorization Act that will 
ensure that the Department of Defense has done their due diligence and 
that my constituents have access to information needed regarding a DOD 
proposal that will significantly impact our local community.
  By way of background, over 20 years ago, the Navy entered into a 
Section 801 Housing agreement to build 300 units on Naval Weapons 
Station Earle. Because of changed home porting plans initiated in the 
1990's, there are simply no sailors or dependents to live there. When 
Colts Neck was put into my district in 2003, the units were already 75 
percent unoccupied.
  Naval Weapons Station Earle's mostly vacant 300 units of housing at 
Laurelwood has long been--and is today--unnecessary, obsolete and a 
financial burden to the Navy. Regrettably, the Navy is still in a bind 
and has

[[Page H7350]]

made one bad decision after another in an attempt to recoups losses 
they failed to properly anticipate in 1988.
  Despite the fact that there are next to no tenants at Laurelwood, the 
contract stipulates mandatory federal payment to the developer--
estimated to be $3.5 million a year--regardless of occupancy.
  At issue today are the deeply troubling consequences imposed by an 
egregiously flawed contract. The so-called out-lease period which 
becomes effective in 2010 and ends in 2040 makes all 300 housing units 
available to virtually anyone with rent money, with a guarantee of 
unimpeded access inside one of the most sensitive munitions depots in 
the country.
  The Navy's EIS and the ROD should have been comprehensive reviews of 
all relevant challenges, dangers, and costs associated with the 
proposed matriculation of Laurelwood to civilian use. They were not.
  Both documents fell short in addressing the myriad of valid concerns 
raised by the community including security, education and 
transportation, to name just a few. The Navy initiated its review 
process of Laurelwood as far back as 2002 so the questions left 
unanswered by their ``analysis'' are numerous and troubling.
  On education, for example, their study offers us no assurances 
whatsoever of anything close to fairness and equity. Under the Navy 
plan, local communities are left to educate hundreds of non-military 
children for whom the towns can not adequately plan without proper 
numbers. The Navy's assumption that a third of these children would be 
educated in public schools is unsupported and masks the real problems 
that these schools will face when the influx of between 300 and 600 new 
students happens. My amendment is necessary to ensure that the school 
boards have all relevant information and can plan and budget 
accordingly.
  The Navy has been extraordinarily myopic on the paramount issue of 
security and both the EIS and the ROD are devoid of any meaningful 
analysis of the true costs to the Navy and surrounding jurisdictions if 
Laurelwood rents to civilians who are then able to drive onto and 
through the base.
  We cannot hermetically seal our military bases but, in my view, the 
Navy's proposal unwittingly does the reverse: it creates 
vulnerabilities where they do not exist today. It compromises national 
security and unnecessarily puts the people on and around Earle in 
potential danger.
  Shortly after federal prosecutors revealed that a group of young men 
were planning to infiltrate Fort Dix, which is also located in my 
Congressional District, and kill as many servicemembers as possible, 
Congress recognized the vulnerability of our military bases and took 
steps to ensure that those who are seeking access to our bases are 
thoroughly checked and accounted for.
  However, the Navy now plans to remove these restrictions and allow 
any member of the public to drive onto and through the largest 
munitions depot on the East Coast.
  Incredibly, the Navy believes that ``impacts to security from the 
proposed action are not anticipated.'' In my opinion--which is 
supported by a Department of Defense Inspector General (IG) report I 
requested earlier this year--the Navy is not providing adequate 
security at the base now. I requested this report after a security 
guard at the base raised concerns regarding the performance of the 
security contractors at Earle (D-2009-045). The IG produced troubling 
findings. They stated that the Navy did not know whether all contractor 
security guards had completed a background check or that they had 
completed all training required by the contract.
  The Navy's security plan places undue faith in a fence as a means to 
deterring or mitigating access and appears to rely simply on adjusting 
already inadequate patrols currently performed by private security 
guards at no perceived increase in cost.
  The Navy believes that ``additional security personnel will likely be 
required to patrol the additional perimeter fencing,'' but gives no 
clue whatsoever as to how many and at what cost. Again, this 
information--which GAO will provide in accordance to my amendment--is 
needed if a prudent decision is to be reached.
  It is worth noting that two of the other installations that are 
approaching the outlease deadline share similar security concerns. Port 
Hueneme's security officials believe that ``allowing the general public 
to live in the units would, at a minimum, indirectly affect the mission 
of the base'' and require ``additional police officers and patrols, and 
an increased security budget.'' Ft. Hood recently required that the 
renters of their Section 801 Housing units must undergo a background 
check as a condition of residency--although given the demand for this 
housing by military personnel, no background checks have been conducted 
or are expected.
  In my view, the 1988 contract itself--written long before the bitter 
lessons of the USS Cole, the Khobar Tower bombings, the destruction of 
our embassies in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam, and 9/11--fails to 
anticipate and its authors could not have adequately understood as we 
do today the dangers inherent in proximity, enhanced 24/7 surveillance 
of potential targets, and the proliferation of sleeper terror cells.
  The 9/11 Commission Report is replete with instances of dangers 
unrecognized, unacknowledged, and unanticipated that led to the worst 
terrorist attack on US soil ever.
  I strongly believe that the Navy is in the process of compounding its 
initial 1988 contracting mistake with a far more serious one that is 
fraught with significant danger for Navy personnel and the people 
residing in adjacent communities.
  Until now, the security of my constituents and the costs that they 
will bear when this proposal is implemented has been deferred to the 
interest that has a conflict of interest: the Navy.
  My amendment would change that. It will ensure a thorough and 
comprehensive study of all relevant factors. It will allow our local 
community to adequately plan and budget for the impacts of the 
decision--which they overwhelmingly oppose--and I urge its adoption.
  Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, if the gentleman from Missouri requires no 
further time, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Chairman, since we have no additional requests, I 
yield back the balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the 
gentleman from Missouri (Mr. Skelton).
  The amendment was agreed to.


          Amendment No. 2, as Modified, Offered by Mr. Mc Keon

  The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider Amendment No. 2, as 
modified, printed in House Report 111-182.
  Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, it is my pleasure to introduce this 
amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       Amendment No. 2, as modified, offered by Mr. McKeon:
       At the end of subtitle E of title X (page 374, after line 
     2), insert the following new section:

     SEC. 1055. SENSE OF CONGRESS HONORING THE HONORABLE JOHN M. 
                   MCHUGH.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) In 1993, Representative John M. McHugh was elected to 
     represent New York's 23rd Congressional district, which is 
     located in northern New York and consists of Clinton, 
     Hamilton, Lewis, Oswego, Madison, and Saint Lawrence counties 
     and parts of Essex, Franklin, Fulton, and Oneida counties.
       (2) Representative McHugh also represents Fort Drum, home 
     of the 10th Mountain Division.
       (3) Prior to his service in Congress, Representative McHugh 
     served four terms in the New York State Senate, representing 
     the 48th district from 1984 to 1992.
       (4) Representative McHugh began his public service career 
     in 1971 in his hometown of Watertown, New York, where he 
     served for five years as a Confidential Assistant to the City 
     Manager.
       (5) Subsequently, Representative McHugh served for nine 
     years as Chief of Research and Liaison with local governments 
     for New York State Senator H. Douglas Barclay.
       (6) Representative McHugh is known by his colleagues as a 
     leader on national defense and security issues and a tireless 
     advocate for America's military personnel and their families.
       (7) During his tenure, he has led the effort to increase 
     Army and Marine Corps end-strength levels, increase military 
     personnel pay, reduce the unfair tax on veterans' disability 
     and military retired pay (concurrent receipt) and safeguard 
     military retiree benefits for our troops.
       (8) Since the 103rd Congress, Representative McHugh has 
     served on the Armed Services Committee of the House of 
     Representatives and subsequently was appointed Chairman of 
     the Morale, Welfare, and Recreation Panel before being 
     appointed Chairman of the Military Personnel Subcommittee.
       (9) Representative McHugh began serving on the Unites 
     States Military Academy Board of Visitors in 1995, and he was 
     appointed to the Board of Visitors by the Speaker of the 
     House in 2007.
       (10) In the 111th Congress, Representative McHugh was 
     appointed Ranking Member of the Armed Services Committee of 
     the House of Representatives by the Republican membership of 
     the House of Representatives.
       (11) On June 2, 2009, the President announced his intention 
     to nominate Representative McHugh to serve as the Secretary 
     of the Army.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     the Honorable John M. McHugh, Representative from New York, 
     has served the House of Representatives and the American 
     people selflessly and with distinction and that he deserves 
     the sincere and humble gratitude of Congress and the Nation.


[[Page H7351]]


  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 572, the gentleman 
from California (Mr. McKeon) and a Member opposed each will control 5 
minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from California.
  Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Mr. Chairman, it is my pleasure to introduce this amendment that 
honors a good friend of mine, a good friend of the House of 
Representatives, a good friend of our Armed Forces and the American 
people, Congressman John McHugh.
  Mr. Chairman, Representative McHugh has represented New York's 23rd 
Congressional District in the House of Representatives since 1993--we 
came here together--and he has done so with honor and integrity. 
Representative McHugh's district includes Fort Drum, the home of the 
outstanding 10th Mountain Division, for which he has been a tireless 
advocate. He is honored and respected by all members of the 10th 
Mountain Division, past and present.
  Prior to his service in the House of Representatives, he served for 
many years in local, State and Federal government. Since coming to the 
House of Representatives, he has been a champion for the members of the 
Armed Forces. He is known by his colleagues as a leader on national 
defense and security issues and a relentless advocate for America's 
military personnel and their families.
  While in the House, he has led the effort to increase Army and Marine 
Corps end-strength levels, increase military personnel pay, reduce the 
unfair tax on veterans' disability and military retiree pay, or 
concurrent receipt, and safeguard military retiree benefits for our 
troops.
  Mr. Chairman, this work is always important, but it has never been 
more important than now, while our troops are in combat. Representative 
McHugh has done outstanding work to support our men and women in 
uniform and their families.
  Representative McHugh has served on the House Armed Services 
Committee since the 103rd Congress. He was appointed as the chairman of 
the Morale, Welfare and Recreation panel and then as the chairman of 
the Military Personnel Subcommittee. His leadership of these two 
subcommittees has advanced the support and recognition of the needs of 
the members of our armed services and their families to a greater level 
than ever before.
  More recently, during the 111th Congress Representative McHugh was 
appointed ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee. During 
his time as ranking member, he continued his tireless work to ensure 
the success of our Armed Forces, our national defense and our security.
  Mr. Chairman, earlier this month President Obama announced his 
intention to nominate Representative McHugh to serve as the Secretary 
of the Army. I can say with confidence that our loss will definitely be 
the Army's gain. I am absolutely certain that Representative McHugh 
will serve the Army with the same commitment and dedication that he has 
provided to our men and women in uniform while he has been on this side 
of the river.
  I want to thank him for his leadership on this committee. His passion 
for and dedication to the members of our Armed Forces will be sorely 
missed by this body. He is a great friend that we will miss working 
with here on the Hill, but I am sure we will have future opportunities 
to work with him in his new capacity.
  Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Chairman, I rise in strong support of this 
amendment, a sense of Congress honoring Congressman John McHugh.
  The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, the gentleman from Missouri is 
recognized for 5 minutes.
  There was no objection.
  Mr. SKELTON. John McHugh is an outstanding American, an outstanding 
Member of Congress, the former ranking member of the House Armed 
Services Committee. He has served the people of America in this 
capacity selflessly and with distinction, and it is our opportunity now 
to express gratitude as a Congress and as a nation for his efforts.
  He has represented New York's 23rd Congressional District since 1993. 
His district includes northern New York, including Fort Drum. He has 
been a public servant now for some 40 years, having served in the 
local, the State and Federal levels of our government. He is a highly 
respected leader on national defense and has been a staunch advocate 
for America's military personnel and their families.
  As chairman and subsequently ranking member of the Subcommittee on 
Military Personnel on our Armed Services Committee, John McHugh has 
shared my desire to increase the end-strength for the Army and the 
Marines, enhance military pay, and began efforts to eliminate 
concurrent receipt to allow the payment of both veterans disability and 
military retired pay.
  Given his background and his experience, the President nominated John 
McHugh to serve as Secretary of the Army on June 2nd of this year. It 
is a tribute to his accomplishments in national defense on behalf of 
the servicemen and women and their families.
  It is a pleasure to honor him in this manner. It is a pleasure to 
have served with him. We will, of course, miss him, his brightness, his 
humor and his quick wit, and his dedication to our Armed Forces. We 
wish him the very best as he serves as the Secretary of the Army.
  I can only say this, Mr. Chairman, that the Army will be in good 
hands with John McHugh. We thank him for his service here and look 
forward to working with him in his new capacity.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I would like to just embarrass our friend a 
little bit. Maybe we could ask him to stand where we could all see him.
  This sounds like a funeral service. This is not a funeral service, it 
is not a memorial service. We just want to thank you, John, for your 
work. He is a young man and will be doing a lot more in the service of 
his country and his State I am sure in the future.
  With that, I yield back the balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIR (Mr. Holden). The question is on the amendment, as 
modified, offered by the gentleman from California, as modified.
  The amendment, as modified, was agreed to.


            Amendment No. 9 Offered by Mr. Franks of Arizona

  The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider Amendment No. 9 
printed in House Report 111-182.
  Mr. FRANKS of Arizona. Mr. Chairman, I offer amendment No. 9.
  The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       Amendment No. 9 offered by Mr. Franks of Arizona:
       Page 57, line 18, strike section 224 and insert the 
     following new section 224:

     SEC. 224. POLICY ON BALLISTIC MISSILE DEFENSE SYSTEM TO 
                   PROTECT THE UNITED STATES HOMELAND, ALLIES, AND 
                   FORWARD DEPLOYED FORCES.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) North Korea's nuclear program and its long, medium, and 
     short-range ballistic missiles represent a near-term and 
     increasing threat to the United States, our forward-deployed 
     troops and allies.
       (2) North Korea, in violation of United Nations Security 
     Council Resolutions 1695 and 1718, launched a Taepodong-2 
     rocket on April 5, 2009, demonstrated a multi-stage, long-
     range ballistic missile. This flight demonstrated a more 
     complete performance than Pyongyang's July 2006 Taepodong-2 
     launch.
       (3) According to reports, the Taepodong-2 long-range 
     ballistic missile could currently threaten the west coast of 
     the United States and, according to estimates by the United 
     States intelligence community, when fully developed could 
     threaten the entire continental United States.
       (4) North Korea has deployed the Musudan intermediate range 
     ballistic missile which can threaten Okinawa and Guam, 200 
     Nodong missiles which can reach Japan, and 600 Scud missiles 
     which threaten South Korea.
       (5) North Korea is a missile proliferator and has shared 
     ballistic missile technology with other weapons proliferating 
     nations such as Iran. It also aided Syria with its nuclear 
     program.
       (6) North Korea walked away from the Six-Party talks and 
     ordered United States and International Atomic Energy Agency 
     inspectors out of the country in April 2009.
       (7) On April 29, 2009, Pyongyang threatened to conduct a 
     nuclear test and launch an intercontinental ballistic missile 
     unless the United Nations Security Council apologize and 
     withdraw all resolutions.
       (8) Following through on its provocative threat, North 
     Korea conducted a nuclear test on May 25, 2009 in violation 
     of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1718.

[[Page H7352]]

       (9) North Korea test-fired six shorter-range missiles off 
     the country's east coast following its nuclear test on May 
     25, 2009.
       (10) On May 25, 2009, President Obama stated, ``North 
     Korea's nuclear ballistic missile programs pose a great 
     threat to the peace and security of the world and I strongly 
     condemn their reckless action. . . The record is clear: North 
     Korea has previously committed to abandoning its nuclear 
     program. Instead of following through on that commitment it 
     has chosen to ignore that commitment. These actions have also 
     flown in the face of United Nations resolutions.''
       (11) North Korea's nuclear test and missile launches 
     demonstrate present international diplomatic efforts are not 
     sufficient to deter North Korea from developing, deploying, 
     and launching missiles or developing nuclear technology. 
     There has been no progress toward engagement or complete and 
     verifiable denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
       (12) The pace and scope of North Korea's actions 
     demonstrate that it is intent on achieving a viable nuclear 
     weapons capability, long-range intercontinental ballistic 
     missile delivery capability, and recognition as a nuclear 
     weapons state.
       (13) In response to the unanimous passage of United Nations 
     Security Council Resolution 1874 on June 12, 2009, North 
     Korea responded that it would not abandon its nuclear 
     programs and vowed to start enriching uranium and weaponize 
     all its plutonium.
       (14) Media reports indicate North Korea is warning of a 
     nuclear war. In addition, it may be preparing for launch an 
     intercontinental ballistic missile with the range to reach 
     the United States. Further reports, citing U.S. defense 
     officials, indicate U.S. satellite photos show long-range 
     ballistic missile activity at two launch sites in North 
     Korea.
       (15) On February 3, 2009, the Government of Iran 
     successfully launched its first satellite into orbit--an act 
     in direct violation of United Nations Security Council 
     Resolution 1737.
       (16) General Maples, Director of the Defense Intelligence 
     Agency, recently said, ``Iran's February 3, 2009, launch of 
     the Safir space launch vehicle shows progress in mastering 
     technology needed to produce ICBMs.''
       (17) On April 5, 2009, President Barack Obama said, ``So 
     let me be clear: Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile 
     activity poses a real threat, not just to the United States, 
     but to Iran's neighbors and our allies.''
       (18) On May 19, 2009, the Government of Iran test-fired a 
     new two-stage, medium-range, solid fuel, surface-to-surface 
     missile, which can reach Europe, Israel, and United States 
     forces deployed in the Persian Gulf Region.
       (19) According to the April 2009 Defense Intelligence 
     Agency report, ``Foreign Ballistic Missile Capabilities'', 
     ``[t]he threat posed by ballistic missile delivery systems is 
     likely to continue increasing while growing more complex over 
     the next decade. Current trends indicate that adversary 
     ballistic missile system, with advanced liquid- or solid-
     propellant propulsion systems, are becoming more flexible, 
     mobile, survivable, reliable and accurate while also 
     presenting longer ranges.''
       (20) According to the April 2009 Defense Intelligence 
     Agency report, ``Foreign Ballistic Missile Capabilities'', 
     ``Prelaunch survivability is also likely to increase as 
     potential adversaries strengthen their denial and deception 
     measures and increasingly base their missiles on mobile sea- 
     and land-based platforms. Adversary nations are increasingly 
     adopting technical and operational countermeasures to defeat 
     missiles defenses. For example, China, Iran and North Korea 
     exercise near simultaneous salvo firings from multiple 
     locations to defeat these defenses.''
       (21) General Kevin Chilton, Commander of the United States 
     Strategic Command testified on March 19, 2009, ``I think the 
     approach for missile defense has been a layered defense, as 
     you've described, that looks at opportunities to engage in 
     the boost phase, in the mid-course, and then terminal.''
       (22) General B.B. Bell, Commander, U.S. Forces-Korea 
     testified in July 2007, ``Here in Korea, we have but minutes 
     to detect, acquire, engage and destroy inbound theater 
     ballistic missiles in the SCUD and No-Dong class. We estimate 
     that north Korea has around eight hundred of these missiles 
     in their operational territory. Today, they are capable of 
     carrying conventional and chemical munitions. Intercepting 
     these missiles during their boost phase while over north 
     Korean territory would be a huge combat multiplier for me. 
     Therefore, I enthusiastically support the pursuit of the 
     unique combat capability provided by the ABL in attacking 
     missiles in their boost phase.''
       (b) Policy.--It shall be the policy of the United States to 
     continue development and fielding of a comprehensive, layered 
     missile defense system to protect the homeland of the United 
     States, our forward-deployed forces, and allies against the 
     near-term and increasing short, medium, and long-range 
     ballistic missile threats posed by rogue nations such as 
     North Korea. These missile defenses shall consist of national 
     and theater missile defenses, but neither should come at the 
     expense of the other. It shall also be the policy of the 
     United States to continue developing systems designed to 
     intercept missiles in the boost phase of flight in order to 
     defend against developing sophisticated threats.
       (c) Elements in Discharge of the Policy.--The discharge of 
     the policy stated in subsection (b) shall include the 
     following:
       (1) Continued testing, fielding, sustainment, and 
     modernization of the ground-based midcourse defense system, 
     specifically--
       (A) not less than 44 ground-based interceptors at Fort 
     Greely, Alaska and Vandenberg Air Force Base, California;
       (B) completion of missile field number two at Fort Greely, 
     Alaska;
       (C) aging and surveillance;
       (D) capability enhancement;
       (E) modernization and obsolescence;
       (F) operationally realistic testing; and
       (G) viable production capability.
       (2) Continued development and testing of the Airborne Laser 
     Program
       (3) Continued technology maturation and demonstration of 
     the technologies associated with the Kinetic Energy 
     Interceptor
       (4) Continue technology maturation and demonstration of the 
     technologies associated with the Multiple Kill Vehicle
       (5) Continued support for on-orbit experimentation of the 
     Space Tracking and Surveillance System demonstration 
     satellites, and concept development and technology maturation 
     for a follow-on capability.
       At the end of subtitle C of title II (page 67, after line 
     5), insert the following new section:

     SEC. 227. AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS FOR MISSILE DEFENSE.

       (a) Funding.--The amount otherwise provided by section 
     201(4) for research, development, test, and evaluation, 
     Defense-wide, is hereby increased by $1,200,000,000, for the 
     Missile Defense Agency, of which--
       (1) $600,000,000 is to be available for the ground-based 
     midcourse defense system;
       (2) $237,000,000 is to be available to the Airborne Laser 
     Program;
       (3) $177,100,000 is to be available to the Multiple Kill 
     Vehicle;
       (4) $165,900,000 is to be available for the Kinetic Energy 
     Interceptor; and
       (5) $20,000,000 is to be available for the Space Tracking 
     and Surveillance System.
       (b) Offsetting Reduction.--The amount otherwise provided by 
     section 3102 for defense environmental cleanup is hereby 
     reduced by $1,200,000,000, to be derived from sites that are 
     projected to meet regulatory milestones ahead of schedule or 
     are at greatest risk of being unable to execute Public Law 
     111-5 and fiscal year 2010 funding as planned in fiscal year 
     2010.

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 572 and the order of 
the House of today, the gentleman from Arizona (Mr. Franks) and a 
Member opposed each will control 10 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Arizona.
  Mr. FRANKS of Arizona. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself 2 minutes.
  Mr. Chairman, nuclear weapons, especially those connected to 
intercontinental ballistic missiles, represent the greatest danger, the 
greatest weapon ever devised, threatening the human family. The enemies 
of the United States are defiantly developing delivery systems for 
those devastating weapons.
  Mr. Chairman, to be clear, ballistic missile threats are increasing 
in the world, and while that threat is increasing, our budget in 
Congress to effect missile defense is decreasing. My amendment would 
restore the $1.2 billion that was cut from last year's appropriated 
amount.
  The administration and those who support these cuts have created a 
false choice between theater defense and homeland defense. If this 
Congress can find $787 billion for a so-called stimulus economic 
package, then we have no excuse but to also fund both theater defense 
and the national defense of the American people.
  Mr. Chairman, North Korea has recently conducted a nuclear test and 
missile launches, and President Obama has called Iran's nuclear and 
ballistic missile activity ``a real threat.'' Despite the threat 
increase, this bill slashes by 35 percent the only system that we have 
that is tested and proven to protect the homeland against ICBMs, our 
Ground-based Midcourse Defense system. My amendment would restore these 
cuts.
  Mr. Chairman, North Korea is right now planning a ballistic missile 
launch, and yesterday in fact declared it is ready to ``wipe out the 
United States.'' We have a chance this moment to restore the funds to 
make these systems viable to protect the American people from this 
exact threat.
  I urge my colleagues to vote in favor of protecting the American 
people and to vote ``yes'' on this amendment.
  Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mrs. TAUSCHER. Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to the amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman is recognized for 10 minutes.

[[Page H7353]]

  Mrs. TAUSCHER. Mr. Chairman, I stand in significant opposition to 
this amendment. The committee's bill provides $9.3 billion for missile 
defense, fully funding the administration's request. The budget 
supports our efforts to build a robust defense against threats from 
rogue nations such as North Korea, and increases funding for proven 
missile defense systems like The Aegis BMD and the Terminal High 
Altitude Aerial Defense, called THAAD, by $900 million over the budget 
level of last year.
  This amendment would result in wasteful, unnecessary spending. As 
Secretary Gates told our committee, The security of the American people 
and the efficacy of the missile defense system are not enhanced by 
continuing to put money into programs that in terms of their 
operational concept are fatally flawed or research programs that are 
essentially sinkholes for taxpayer dollars.
  With all due respect, Mr. Chairman, I find myself here trying to 
rescue the missile defense program from its strongest advocates, 
because all they want to do is spend money. We have spent $120 billion 
over the last 10 years on missile defense. I am a strong supporter of 
missile defense, but unless you have oversight and unless you have an 
operationally effective system to protect against the existing threats 
and deploy those systems to protect our forward-deployed troops, the 
American people and our allies, it is just spending money after money 
after money.
  The advocates of missile defense that just want to spend money don't 
seem to want to deal with the fact that in this bill we authorize $1 
billion to test, sustain and improve the existing system, because what 
we found out recently is that the system that is deployed has got some 
problems. It has got problems with operation and maintenance because 
enough of that money during the previous administration wasn't spent to 
make sure that the system was maintained.
  Democrats are strong on missile defense. We want to make sure we have 
a proven system, one that is going to not only work but one that is 
also going to deter, and the best way to do that is to have a system 
that is operationally effective and tested, one that is maintained 
properly, and one that is fielded to array against and deter and defeat 
the threats.
  I think that on our side, we believe that we have done that, both 
during the time of the Bush administration and certainly now in full 
support of the President's budget request.
  Mr. Chairman, I am happy to reserve my time.

                              {time}  1200

  Mr. FRANKS of Arizona. Mr. Chairman, I would just respond by 
suggesting that to say $1.2 billion in missile defense spending would 
be wasteful, in the light of the fact that when three airplanes hit 
this country, it cost us $2 trillion in our economy and nearly $100 
billion to clean it up, I think that is shortsighted.
  With that, I yield 1 minute to the distinguished ranking member of 
the committee, the gentleman from California (Mr. McKeon).
  Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I thank the gentleman for yielding.
  In the last 2 months, North Korea has followed through on its 
provocative threat to conduct a nuclear test and launch missiles. Today 
we hear that Pyongyang is vowing to enlarge its nuclear arsenal and has 
warned of a ``fire shower of nuclear retaliation.'' These are grave and 
serious threats.
  However, at a time when Iran and North Korea have demonstrated the 
capability and intent to pursue long-range ballistic missiles and 
nuclear weapons programs, the defense bill endorsed reductions to 
capabilities that would provide a comprehensive missile defense system 
to protect the U.S. homeland, our forward-deployed troops and our 
allies.
  This amendment is common sense. It is a sound measure that would 
reverse the administration's $1.2 billion cut to missile defense. It 
would restore a 35 percent reduction to the Nation's Ground-based 
Midcourse Defense system, located in Alaska and California, which is 
signed to protect the U.S. homeland. It would restore investments in 
vital research and development like the airborne laser program, which 
is the cusp of demonstrating breakthrough technologies.
  I urge my colleagues to support this amendment. To do otherwise would 
be irresponsible.
  Mr. FRANKS of Arizona. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the 
distinguished ranking member of the Strategic Forces Subcommittee, Mr. 
Turner.
  Mr. TURNER. Mr. Chairman, I rise to speak in favor of the Franks 
amendment. I was very disappointed with the administration's decision 
to cut $1.2 billion out of missile defense funding below the fiscal 
year 2009 funding. Make no mistake, this is a cut. We are going to 
spend $1.2 billion less than we spent in 2009.
  We are going to do this while we have increasing threats, not 
decreasing threats, to the United States. And make no mistake, the 
Department of Defense has not provided one data point. They have not 
provided one study. They have not provided any information, no 
intelligence that indicates we have a reduced threat, all the while we 
know with this reduced threat, there is no justification for a 
reduction.
  I am concerned with the top-line missile defense cut, I am deeply 
concerned about the specific cuts that include a 35 percent cut to the 
Ground-based Midcourse Defense system in Alaska and California, and the 
administration decision to decrease the planned number of field 
interceptors, which is our response to North Korea's ICBMs, terminate 
construction of a missile field in Alaska that is partially complete, 
and curtail additional GMD development.
  I support the Franks amendment. While we have an increased threat, we 
should not be decreasing our commitment to missile defense.
  Mrs. TAUSCHER. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from 
New Jersey (Mr. Andrews), a longstanding member of the Strategic Forces 
Subcommittee.
  (Mr. ANDREWS asked and was given permission to revise and extend his 
remarks.)
  Mr. ANDREWS. The issue is not whether the country will have a missile 
defense; the issue is whether the country will have an effective 
missile defense.
  Ninety-nine percent of the threat comes from regional missiles, so 
this budget increases by about 50 percent the amount of money that we 
spend on effective regional defense systems.
  But let's talk about what we would do if the Pyongyang threat came 
true and a missile was fired from North Korea. Here is the first thing 
we would do: We would rely upon the ground-based systems in Alaska. We 
put nearly a billion dollars into improving those systems. The 
Secretary of Defense has testified that the 30 interceptors in place 
are plenty, that they are enough. We improve upon them, and we use that 
system.
  Second, we look to a system that we frankly think will work better 
because the testing has been more promising and more accurate, the SM-
3, Block 2A interceptors, funding for which is increased by 50 percent 
in this bill.
  The issue is not whether we have a missile defense; it is whether we 
have one that works. I will requote the Secretary of Defense: ``The 
security of the American people and the efficacy of the missile defense 
are not enhanced by continuing to put money into programs that in terms 
of their operational concept are fatally flawed, or research programs 
that are essentially sink holes for taxpayers' dollars.''
  We would not invest in Civil War-era technology that doesn't work to 
defend our country. We would invest in the 21st-century technology that 
does work, and that is what we are doing.
  We should oppose this amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR. The Committee will rise informally.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Larsen of Washington) assumed the chair.

                          ____________________
