                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

  Mr. BERMAN. Mr. Chair, during House consideration of H.R. 2647, the 
National Defense Authorization Act I, along with several other Members 
of Congress, was unavoidably detained in a meeting on immigration 
policy at the White House with President Obama. Had I been present, I 
would have voted against the McGovern/Jones/Pingree Amendment, for the 
McGovern/Sestak/Bishop (GA)/Lewis (GA) Amendment, against the Franks/
Cantor/Sessions/Broun/Roskam Amendment, against the Akin/Forbes 
Amendment, for the Holt Amendment, and for the Connolly Amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the committee amendment in the 
nature of a substitute, as amended.
  The committee amendment in the nature of a substitute, as amended, 
was agreed to.
  The Acting CHAIR. Under the rule, the Committee rises.
  Accordingly, the Committee rose; and the Speaker pro tempore (Mr. 
Ross) having assumed the chair, Mr.

Pastor of Arizona, Acting Chair of the Committee of the Whole House on 
the State of the Union, reported that that Committee, having had under 
consideration the bill (H.R. 2647) to authorize appropriations for 
fiscal year 2010 for military activities of the Department of Defense, 
to prescribe military personnel strengths for fiscal year 2010, and for 
other purposes, pursuant to House Resolution 572, he reported the bill 
back to the House with an amendment adopted by the Committee of the 
Whole.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under the rule, the previous question is 
ordered.
  Is a separate vote demanded on any amendment to the amendment 
reported from the Committee of the Whole? If not, the question is on 
the amendment.
  The amendment was agreed to.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the engrossment and third 
reading of the bill.
  The bill was ordered to be engrossed and read a third time, and was 
read the third time.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Virginia is recognized 
for 5 minutes.

                              {time}  1515

  Mr. FORBES. Mr. Speaker, this motion to recommit improves this bill 
by fully providing for our troops on the battlefield, protecting the 
American people at home from ballistic missile threats, and doing so 
without borrowing from any significant program.
  First, this motion provides $1.4 billion in equipment requested by 
our men and women in combat and which this House agreed they needed 
because we included it in the 2009 supplemental the first time. This 
funding is for MRAP vehicles, Blackhawk helicopters and UAVs, which 
have persistently been some of our troops' highest priorities for Iraq 
and Afghanistan.
  Mr. Speaker, after the House included this funding in the 
supplemental, the Senate included a provision to provide a $100 billion 
global bailout to the IMF. In order to pay the bill, the equipment 
needed by our servicemen and women in action was stripped from the 
supplemental.
  I do not think any Member of this distinguished body believes we 
should have provided any loan to the IMF, or any other international 
body, without first taking care of our men and women on the 
battlefield.
  Mr. Speaker, this bill will have some critical components of this 
motion and would restore 1,600 additional Humvees and combat vehicles, 
250 MRAP vehicles to protect our soldiers from roadside bombs, four 
additional helicopters and four additional aircraft so our soldiers 
don't have to drive those roads in the first place, and six unmanned 
aerial vehicles to address critical shortfalls in intelligence and 
reconnaissance.
  In addition to fulfilling the wartime needs of our troops, this 
motion would add $1.2 billion to restore missile defense funding to the 
fiscal year 2009 levels.
  Last year, this Congress provided $10.5 billion for missile defense. 
Since that time, North Korea and Iran's nuclear and missile 
capabilities have demonstrably grown as credible threats to the 
security of the United States.
  North Korea has threatened to ``wipe out'' the United States and 
reportedly is preparing an intercontinental ballistic missile launch 
that could reach Hawaii or the continental United States.
  In April, the President himself said ``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.''
  Despite these increasing threats, the bill cuts missile defense by 
$1.2 billion from last year. And this includes a 35 percent reduction 
to a vital missile defense system in Alaska and California designed to 
protect the United States homeland.
  These cuts lack supporting analysis and challenge common sense. If 
North Korea does what it says, or if the President is right about Iran, 
this may be one of the most crucial votes we take.
  The $2.6 billion to pay for the equipment our troops need and to 
maintain last year's missile defense funding level will come from a 
Department of Energy account that has already received more than $5 
billion in stimulus funding on top of a baseline request of $5.5 
billion.
  We may hear concerns from the other side of the aisle that we are 
skimming off the top of important environmental cleanup projects. 
However, Energy Department officials have stated publicly that the 
stimulus funds go to the lowest priority projects. I also would like to 
note that cleanup funds do not expire, and the billions of dollars of 
stimulus funds provided for this effort won't expire for 5 years. It is 
more than reasonable to expect that the Secretary of Energy can 
responsibly reallocate the resources he receives across the 
environmental management portfolio.
  Therefore, the real question before the House is whether we should 
allocate $2.6 billion to the Department of Energy for their admittedly 
lowest priority cleanup projects, or, to allocate this $2.6 billion for 
much-needed equipment for our troops in combat and to defend our Nation 
against the rising threats of missile attacks.
  Mr. Speaker, the choice is clear. The decision should be even 
clearer. And with that, Mr. Speaker, I urge all my colleagues to vote 
for this motion.
  I yield back.
  Mr. SKELTON. I rise in opposition to the motion to recommit.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes.
  Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Speaker, this is one of the most interesting motions 
to recommit I have ever seen. In truth, in fact, in looking it over, 
which is a multipage motion, it is an effort to rewrite the work of two 
subcommittees within the Armed Services Committee, the Strategic Forces 
Subcommittee and the Air and Land Subcommittee.

[[Page H7388]]

And we have already, a few moments ago, discussed at length on this 
floor a good part of this, which is the missile defense area, which we 
gave $9.3 billion toward. But what I really find interesting in this is 
that the budget will cut the cleanup for radioactive waste and special 
materials in half.
  At this time, I yield 2 minutes to the gentlelady from California 
(Mrs. Tauscher), the subcommittee chairman.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman may not yield blocks of time, 
but the gentleman may yield.
  Mrs. TAUSCHER. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
  California, Texas, Colorado, New Mexico, Washington, South Carolina, 
Tennessee, Idaho, Georgia. Anybody live there? Those are the States 
that are expecting this cleanup money. Your Governors are expecting 
this cleanup money. Mayors of communities are expecting this cleanup 
money.
  This isn't just a little slush in tanks that we are trying to clean 
up, ladies and gentlemen. This is the 50-year residue of the Cold War; 
dangerous, dangerous proliferation risks, dangerous health and safety 
risks.
  These States have agreements, usually because they have sued the 
Federal Government, to have this money be spent for this cleanup. So if 
you think this is a triviality, if your phone is ringing right now, it 
is probably your Governor saying do not take this money away from us 
because our communities are at risk.
  That is why you need to oppose this motion to recommit.
  We have had hearing after hearing. We have had subcommittee markups 
and full committee markups. None of this was brought up. This is a 
convenient way to change the subject. The subject is support this mark. 
Defeat this motion to recommit.
  Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from 
Hawaii, the chairman of the Air and Land Subcommittee, Mr. Abercrombie.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman may not yield blocks of time.
  The gentleman from Hawaii is recognized.
  Mr. ABERCROMBIE. Mr. Speaker and Members, I'm the chairman of the Air 
and Land Subcommittee. And I really feel very, very deeply that this 
recommit motion made right now really is not in order in the way we 
work. The phrase was used ``on the other side of the aisle.'' There are 
no ``sides of the aisle'' in the Air and Land Subcommittee. Every 
single member of that committee is recognized by this chairman as not 
only equal in terms of their input, but equal in terms of their 
commitment to the defense of this country.
  You folks know me here. This kind of thing does not take place in our 
subcommittee. There is no ``side of the aisle'' when it comes to the 
defense of this Nation.
  Let me just give a couple of quick examples. On the Stryker vehicle, 
we have $338 million in there on top of the $200 million plus that we 
put in the supplemental. We were never given any other number despite 
any opportunity anybody could have had to bring that number forward.
  On the Mine Resistant Ambush Protected all-terrain vehicles, $5.45 
billion for 1,000 vehicles, upgrades, retrofits and operation and 
maintenance. If there is one thing that this chairman, Ike Skelton, has 
done in the committee, for both Republicans and Democrats who have the 
responsibility and obligation as members of the Armed Services 
Committee, is to see to it that readiness is first, foremost and 
fundamental in our deliberations.
  I ask you, I ask you as a fellow member of the Armed Services 
Committee, not as a Democrat or as a Republican, to reject this on the 
basis that our committee did its work the way it should do its work. We 
set a standard for bipartisanship, in fact nonpartisanship, when it 
comes to determining what is the interests of the fighting men and 
women of the United States of America.
  Mr. SKELTON. How much time is remaining, please?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Five seconds remain.
  Mr. SKELTON. I thank the gentlelady. I thank the gentleman. This is a 
bad motion to recommit.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentleman has expired.
  Without objection, the previous question is ordered on the motion to 
recommit.
  There was no objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion to recommit.
  The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that 
the noes appeared to have it.


                             Recorded Vote

  Mr. FORBES. Mr. Speaker, I demand a recorded vote.
  A recorded vote was ordered.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XX, the Chair 
will reduce to 5 minutes the minimum time for any electronic vote on 
the question of passage.
  The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 170,
