  Stated for:
  Ms. BORDALLO. Mr. Chair, I was absent from the Chamber today, Friday, 
May 28, 2010, due to the travel schedule for my return to my district

military activities of the Department of Defense, to prescribe military 
personnel strengths for such fiscal year, and for other purposes, 
pursuant to House Resolution 1404, reported the bill back to the House

  The amendment was agreed to.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the engrossment and third

                           Motion to Recommit

  Mrs. BACHMANN. Mr. Speaker, I have a motion to recommit at the desk.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is the gentlewoman opposed to the bill?
  Mrs. BACHMANN. Yes, in its current form.
  Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Speaker, I reserve a point of order against the 
motion to recommit.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The point of order is reserved.
  The Clerk will report the motion to recommit.
  The Clerk read as follows:

       Mrs. Bachmann moves to recommit the bill back to the 
     Committee on Armed Services with instructions to report the 
     same back to the House forthwith with the following 
     amendment:
       At the end of the bill, add the following new title:

                          TITLE__--PAY FREEZE

     SEC._01. PAY FREEZE.

       (a) In General.--Notwithstanding any other provision of 
     law, for purposes of computing compensation for service 
     performed during fiscal year 2011 and the first quarter of 
     fiscal year 2012, the rate of salary or basic pay for any 
     office or position within the civil service, as defined by 
     section 2101 of title 5, United States Code, shall be deemed 
     to be equal to the rate of salary or basic pay payable for 
     such office or position as of September 30, 2010.
       (b) Congressional Pay Freeze.--Notwithstanding any other 
     provision of law, no adjustment shall be made under section

     salary or basic pay payable to individuals in comparable 
     offices or positions on such date.
       (d) Rule of Construction.--Nothing in this section shall be 
     considered to apply with respect to any office or position 
     within the uniformed services, as defined by section 2101 of 
     title 5, United States Code.

  Mrs. BACHMANN (during the reading). Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous 
consent to dispense with the reading.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentlewoman from Minnesota?
  Mr. SKELTON. I object.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Objection is heard.
  The reading will continue.
  The Clerk continued to read.
  Mr. SKELTON (during the reading). Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous 
consent to dispense with the continuing of the reading.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Missouri?

[[Page H4196]]

  There was no objection.


                             Point of Order

  Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Speaker, I make a point of order against this motion 
as it is not germane, and I insist on that point of order.
  Mrs. BACHMANN. Mr. Speaker, I ask to be heard on the point of order.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman from Minnesota is 
recognized.
  Mrs. BACHMANN. Mr. Speaker, the motion to recommit proposes to add a 
new amendment to the bill freezing the rate of pay for ourselves, 
Members of Congress, and for the non-uniformed Federal employees. The 
amendment relies on the definition of civil service provided in title V 
of the United States Code which covers positions in the executive, the 
judicial, and the legislative branches.
  The bill before us contains numerous and repeated references to title 
V of the United States Code, yet the gentleman makes the point of order 
that this amendment is not germane to the bill.
  Mr. Speaker, the bill before us includes provisions, such as the 
recently adopted Sarbanes amendment, that affect the policies of all 
executive branch agencies, not just the Department of Defense. And on 
that basis, I believe that the Chair will find the provisions of the 
amendment limiting pay for civilian executive branch employees germane. 
I also believe that the bill is broad enough to cover judicial 
employees as well.
  So, Mr. Speaker, that then leaves the question of ourselves, our pay, 
and that of non-uniformed Federal employees, legislative branch 
employees. So, therefore, Mr. Speaker, I believe it would be improper 
for the Chair to use a point of order for the purpose of protecting the 
employees of the legislative branch and for the purpose of protecting 
and shielding us Members of Congress from the pay freeze herein being 
proposed. And it would otherwise be in order for employees of the 
executive branch.
  And so, Mr. Speaker, I ask the question: Do we really want to go on 
record saying that the rules of this House should not be used to shield 
our own Members of Congress' salaries and also those of the legislative 
salaries of the non-uniformed branch from being fiscally irresponsible?
  So, Mr. Speaker, I urge you not to sustain the point of order because 
when the average wage and benefit package of government workers is 
double that of private employees, then we should not use--
  Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Speaker, I insist on my point of order.
  Mrs. BACHMANN. I am speaking on the point of order, Mr. Speaker.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman is reminded to confine her 
remarks to the point of order.
  Mrs. BACHMANN. Yes, Mr. Speaker.
  We should not use the arcane rules to somehow exempt ourselves as a 
Member of Congress from our own pay increases and that of the non-
uniformed Federal offices under the responsibility of tightening our 
belt.
  Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Speaker, I insist on my point of order. It is not 
germane.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair will rule.
  The gentleman from Missouri makes the point of order that the 
instructions proposed in the motion to recommit offered by the 
gentlewoman from Minnesota are not germane. The bill broaches a range 
of subject matters related to both national defense and to general 
operations of the Federal Government. This range of subject matters 
implicates the jurisdiction of several committees.
  The instructions proposed in the motion to recommit seek to prohibit 
certain future increases in pay for Members of Congress and employees 
across the Federal Government. This prohibition, by addressing the 
legislative branch, involves the jurisdiction of the Committee on House 
Administration.
  One of the fundamental principles of germaneness is that an amendment 
must confine itself to matters within the jurisdiction of the 
committees with jurisdiction over the pending text. To the Chair's 
knowledge, the underlying bill is devoid of subject matter within the 
jurisdiction of the Committee on House Administration. Thus, the motion 
offered by the gentlewoman from Minnesota is not germane. The point of 
order is sustained. The motion is not in order.
  Mrs. BACHMANN. Mr. Speaker, I appeal the ruling of the Chair.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is, Shall the decision of the 
Chair stand as the judgment of the House?


                            Motion to Table

  Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Speaker, I move to table the appeal of the ruling of 
the Chair.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion to lay the 
appeal on the table.
  The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that 
the ayes appeared to have it.


                             Recorded Vote

  Mrs. BACHMANN. Mr. Speaker, I demand a recorded vote.
  A recorded vote was ordered.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 8 and clause 9 of rule 
XX, this 15-minute vote on tabling the appeal will be followed by 5-
minute votes on passage of H.R. 5136 and adoption of H. Res. 407, 
unless sooner followed by further proceedings in recommittal.
  The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 227, 
noes 183, not voting 21, as follows:

                             [Roll No. 334]

                Announcement by the Speaker Pro Tempore

  The SPEAKER pro tempore (during the vote). Two minutes remain in this 
vote.

                              {time}  1545

  Mr. FLAKE changed his vote from ``aye'' to ``no.''
  Messrs. OBERSTAR and DOGGETT changed their vote from ``no'' to 
``aye.''
  So the motion to table was agreed to.
  The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
  Stated Against:
  Mr. MICA. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall No. 334, Motion to Table, I was 
unavoidably detained. Had I been present, I would have voted ``no.''


                           Motion to Recommit

  Mr. FORBES. Mr. Speaker, I have a motion to recommit at the desk.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is the gentleman opposed to the bill?
  Mr. FORBES. I am, Mr. Speaker.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to 
recommit.
  The Clerk read as follows:

       Mr. Forbes moves to recommit the bill H.R. 5136 to the 
     Committee on Armed Services with instructions to report the 
     same back to the House forthwith, with the following 
     amendment:
       Strike section 1032 and insert the following:

     SEC. 1032. PROHIBITION ON THE USE OF FUNDS FOR THE TRANSFER 
                   OR RELEASE OF INDIVIDUALS DETAINED AT UNITED 
                   STATES NAVAL STATION, GUANTANAMO BAY, CUBA.

       None of the funds authorized to be appropriated by this Act 
     may be used to transfer, release, or assist in the transfer 
     or release to or within the United States, its territories, 
     or possessions of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed or any other 
     detainee who--
       (1) is not a United States citizen or a member of the Armed 
     Forces of the United States; and
       (2) is or was held on or after January 20, 2009, at United 
     States Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, by the Department 
     of Defense.
       In section 1037(a)(1)(C), strike ``within the exclusive 
     investigative jurisdiction of the Inspector General of the 
     Department of Defense'' and insert ``of the United States''.
       In section 1037, strike subsection (b).
       In section 1037(f), strike paragraph (2).

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Virginia is recognized 
for 5 minutes.
  Mr. FORBES. Mr. Speaker, sometimes things are not as complex as we 
try to make them here in Washington. In fact, sometimes our best 
decisions come down to simple truths. One of those truths is that 
Americans are safer when our government fights to keep terrorists off 
U.S. soil rather than when it fights to bring them here.
  Mr. Speaker, in January 2009, 17 months ago, the worst terrorists who 
had ever attacked the United States were on the verge of conviction in 
Guantanamo. The most experienced and best prosecutor the U.S. had 
against terrorists and a full prosecution team had been prosecuting 
these terrorists for almost 2 years. They had handled over 56 motions, 
countless hearings, and, according to them, would have had guilty pleas 
out of all five of the 9/11 defendants within 6 months; in other words, 
June a year ago.
  But this administration issued an order 17 months ago that destroyed 
all the work that prosecutor had done, all the work his entire team had 
done, every motion they had won, done away with every hearing, for 
nothing, and forced us as a nation to begin this prosecution anew 
sometime, somewhere.
  Today, 17 months later, there is not a single individual in this 
Chamber that has a clue as to when, where, how, or even if these 
terrorists will be prosecuted. All we know is that we are now 3\1/2\ 
more years down the road and the clock is still ticking while the 
Attorney General continues to debate whether we should prosecute them 
here or we should prosecute them there.
  Now, while the victims of 9/11 have been waiting, the ACLU has not. 
They have moved forward with the John Adams Project to robustly defend 
these terrorists who, by the way, have admitted their guilt. And while 
the victims of 9/11 have been waiting, there are allegations that the 
identities of key military and intelligence personnel have been passed 
to the 9/11 defendants more than a year ago, and allegations that such 
passage could have come from the attorneys involved in the case. There 
are further allegations that the passage of this information could have 
been a criminal act and could have jeopardized the safety of some of 
the individuals involved.
  Finally, Mr. Speaker, there have been concerns that the Secretary of 
Defense and the Attorney General have failed to timely and adequately 
investigate these matters.
  So what is the difference between our motion to recommit and this 
bill? First, we say, enough is enough; try the terrorists in 
Guantanamo. And we therefore prohibit the transfer of the detainees to 
the United States. Simple, straightforward, no more wobbling.
  The majority's position in the bill, Mr. Speaker, is that the 
President can continue to take all the time he wants to determine if, 
when, where, and how he will prosecute the terrorists and where he will 
house them until he does, and all he has to do is file a plan when and 
if he ultimately decides to do so.
  Now, my good friend, the chairman of the committee, loves to tell us, 
just read the bill. Well, if you just read the bill, you will find that 
the bill prohibits the Department of Defense from spending any money to 
reinforce security or other facilities, but it does not stop them from 
coming. It just stops us from preparing for them to come.
  Secondly, Mr. Speaker, this motion to recommit says that the 
inspector general shall investigate as to whether or not there has been 
a crime from any of these allegations of distributing this information 
about military personnel and intelligence personnel. The current bill 
only allows him to investigate matters within the Department of 
Defense.
  This bill makes sure that if any crime has been committed, he can 
investigate it, but the bill gives two get-out-of-jail-free cards. If 
the Secretary of Defense or the Attorney General decides that this 
would impair or interfere with an investigation, they can stop it--the 
same Secretary of Defense who has punted the investigation for a year, 
the same Attorney General who has not prosecuted these terrorists.
  Mr. Speaker, I would just say if the Attorney General won't prosecute 
the terrorists, he is not going to investigate the attorneys that are 
representing them.
  Mr. Speaker, let me say this in conclusion. The bottom line is, we 
can't stop every terrorist from coming to the United States, but we can 
stop the ones that are coming from Guantanamo. This motion to recommit 
does that. We can't protect all of our military and intelligence 
personnel from terrorists, but we can help the ones involved in this 
case. And that is what this motion to recommit does.
  With that, Mr. Speaker, I yield back my time.
  Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Speaker, I seek time in opposition to the motion to 
recommit, although I am not opposed to it.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the gentleman from 
Missouri is recognized for 5 minutes.
  There was no objection.
  Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Speaker, we have dealt with these issues strongly in 
the

[[Page H4198]]

committee. This adds to those particular issues, and we are in a 
position to accept this motion. I just wish to point out that there is 
no difference between the Democrats and Republicans when it comes to 
fighting terrorism.
  I agree with the motion.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. 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 ayes 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 8 and clause 9 of rule 
XX, this 15-minute vote on the motion to recommit will be followed by 5 
minute votes on passage of H.R. 5136, if ordered, and suspending the 
rules and agreeing to House Resolution 407, if ordered.
  The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 282, 
noes 131, not voting 18, as follows:

                             [Roll No. 335]
