       Sec. 3013. Section 31 of the Outer Continental Shelf Lands 
     Act (43 U.S.C. 1356a) is amended by adding at the end the 
     following:
       ``(e) Emergency Funding.--
       ``(1) In general.--In response to a spill of national 
     significance under the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (33 U.S.C. 
     2701 et seq.), at the request of a producing State or coastal

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from 
Wisconsin (Mr. Obey) and the gentleman from California (Mr. Lewis) each 
will control 20 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Wisconsin.


                             General Leave

  Mr. OBEY. Madam Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members 
have 5 legislative days to revise and extend their remarks and include 
extraneous material on H.R. 4899.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Wisconsin?
  There was no objection.
  Mr. OBEY. Madam Speaker, I yield myself 3 minutes.
  Madam Speaker, I have a double and conflicting obligation on this 
matter. As chairman of the committee, I have an obligation to this 
House to bring this war supplemental before the House to allow this 
institution to work its will. But I also have the obligation of my 
conscience to indicate by my individual vote my profound skepticism 
that this action will accomplish much more than to serve as a 
recruiting incentive for those who most want to do us ill.
  Last year, as the administration was undertaking its Afghanistan 
review, I expressed my concern that the best policy in the world could 
not succeed if we did not have the tools on the ground, namely, the 
effective cooperation of the governments of Afghanistan and Pakistan, 
to accomplish it. I submit today that those critical tools are not at 
hand.
  The Afghan Government has not demonstrated the focused determination, 
reliability, and judgment necessary to bring this effort to a rational 
and successful conclusion. Even if we could have greater confidence in 
that government's capacity, it would likely take so long that it will 
obliterate our ability to make the kinds of long-term investments in 
our own country that are so desperately needed.
  We have appropriated over $1 trillion for the wars in Iraq and 
Afghanistan to date, more than $700 billion to Iraq and $300 billion 
for Afghanistan. These wars have been paid for with borrowed money. 
What's happened with this bill is a good indication of the tensions in 
the false choices that we face. The bill started in March as a domestic 
disaster relief and youth summer jobs bill, and the Senate added war 
funding. Then we tried to do something about other emergencies this 
year, such as the loss of more than 100,000 teachers' jobs because of 
devastating State and local budget cuts, border security 
vulnerabilities, and a shortfall in Pell Grant funding because more 
students qualify for aid due to the economic recession.
  The House tried to fund those emergencies, which were largely paid 
for with offsets to other programs, but now, true to form, virtually 
everything we've attempted to do this year to address the economic 
crisis and emergencies on the domestic side of the ledger has fallen by 
the wayside. And on the current course, we will face the very same 
situation again next year and the following year as well.
  Military experts tell us that it could take up to 10 more years to 
achieve any acceptable outcome in Afghanistan. We've already been there 
9 years. I believe that is too high a price to pay. Now, to those who 
say we must pay it because we're going after al Qaeda, I would note 
that Afghanistan is where al Qaeda used to be. Today, there are fewer 
than 100 al Qaeda in Afghanistan, which was publicly confirmed last 
month by CIA Chief Panetta. Al Qaeda has relocated to other countries 
and regions.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentleman has expired.
  Mr. OBEY. I yield myself 1 additional minute.
  I have the highest respect and appreciation for our troops who have 
done everything asked of them, but they are being let down by the 
inability of the governments of Afghanistan and, in some instances, 
Pakistan to do their parts. I would be willing to support additional 
war funding provided that Congress would vote up or down explicitly on 
whether or not to continue this policy after a new National 
Intelligence Estimate is produced. But absent that discipline, I cannot 
look my constituents in the eye and say that this operation will hurt 
our enemies more than it hurts us, and so I will reluctantly vote 
``no.''
  I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. LEWIS of California. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I 
may consume.
  Madam Speaker, our first job as Members of Congress is to support our 
troops, the men and women who are in harm's way protecting our country. 
It has been 6 months since the President sent the supplemental funding 
request to the Congress. The package we're considering today is, 
ironically, the very same clean emergency spending package the Senate 
approved on May 27, precisely 2 months ago. The delay in passing this 
legislation was caused by one thing and only one thing: the House 
Democratic leadership majority's continuing and unwavering appetite for 
spending.
  The Senate passed its clean version of the supplemental in May and 
sent it to the House for speedy approval. Instead of quickly passing it 
and sending it to the President's desk, however, House Democrats spent 
weeks negotiating with themselves over just how much nonemergency 
spending could be placed on the backs of our troops.
  Senate Democrats and the White House sent strong signals that adding 
billions in domestic nonemergency spending would further delay funding 
for our troops as well as critical disaster assistance to areas of our 
country in desperate need, but that advice was ignored by the House 
majority. Fortunately, the Senate, last week, wisely rejected the House 
majority's effort to piggyback tens of billions of dollars of 
additional spending onto the package. The Senate has sent back to the 
House the very same clean emergency supplemental it sent 2 months ago. 
Today, the House must do the right thing and approve this funding. We 
cannot afford to wait another minute to get this long overdue package 
to the President.
  I applaud the Senate for rejecting billions of dollars of 
nonemergency spending placed on the backs of the troops. Let's support 
our men and women in uniform, support disaster assistance for areas of 
the country in great need, and pass this spending bill.
  I urge an ``aye'' vote, and I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. OBEY. Madam Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the distinguished chair 
of the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee, the gentleman from 
Washington (Mr. Dicks).
  Mr. DICKS. Madam Speaker, I rise in strong support of the 
supplemental. The Under Secretary of Defense, Mr. Hale, advises that 
the operation and maintenance accounts will begin to exhaust available 
obligation authority in early August. The Under Secretary has made it 
very clear that we have to get this funding enacted.
  The Senate bill includes $32.8 billion, $352 million below the 
President's request for operations, personnel costs, and equipment 
reconstitution related to overseas contingency operations in Iraq and 
Afghanistan, and for emergency relief activities related to the 
earthquake relief.

                              {time}  1050

  The bill includes funding in the following major categories:
  For military personnel, $1.8 billion;
  For operations and maintenance, the bill includes $24.6 billion;
  Also, for the Afghanistan-Iraq Security Forces Fund, the bill 
includes requested funds of $2.6 billion for the Afghan Forces Fund and 
$1 billion for the Iraq Security Readiness programs;
  The bill funds key readiness programs to prepare military forces for 
combat operations and other missions, including for OPTEMPO flying 
hours, steaming days, depot maintenance, training, spare parts, and 
base operations;

[[Page H6063]]

  Regarding troop expansion in Afghanistan, the bill fully funds 
additional units to support the troop expansion in Afghanistan;
  The bill provides $50 million for the Department of Defense to 
transfer to the Department of Transportation for port activities in 
Guam;
  It also reimburses $72.5 million to the Navy for emergency flood 
repairs;
  The bill includes $4.9 billion for procurement. This would include 
aircraft-vehicle force protection and other equipment;
  For research, development, test, and evaluation, the bill provides 
$273.7 million for R, D, T, and E, which is a few million below the 
President's request;
  Regarding the Revolving Management Fund, the bill would provide $1.1 
billion for defense work and capital funds. It would also provide $33.4 
million for the defense health program. The bill includes $94 million 
for drug interdiction and counterdrug activities in Afghanistan, 
Pakistan, and Central Asia;
  For the Joint Improvised Explosive Device, that money from JIEDDO 
would be transferred to the Army.
  I just think it is clear that we have got to pass this bill today, 
this supplemental, and get this behind us as we move on to the 2011 
bill. As stated, the Secretary and the comptroller pointed out that, by 
mid-August, we will start running out of funds for key crucial 
accounts, and they will have to start making adjustments that will be 
ridiculous, so we must get this done today.
  Mr. LEWIS of California. Madam Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to our 
leader on the Homeland Security subcommittee, the gentleman from 
Kentucky (Mr. Rogers).
  Mr. ROGERS of Kentucky. I thank the gentleman for yielding.
  Madam Speaker, while there should be no higher priority for Congress 
than to provide for our common defense, the Democrats have chosen to 
delay, abuse, and exploit this wartime funding bill--no committee 
markup, the circumvention of regular order, and the exploitation of our 
national security needs in order to bail out the special interests. 
Perhaps most disturbing is the inexplicable 6-month delay that has kept 
our brave troops waiting far too long.
  Madam Speaker, the sheer criticality of this war and disaster 
supplemental should transcend the inconvenience of election year 
politics. Sadly, that is not the case this year. This episode in 
political futility has brought us right back to where we should have 
been all along--funding our critical needs with a clean bill. Because 
of this calamitous process, we leave a glaring omission--failing to 
address the President's recently requested enhancements to border 
security and to fight the murderous drug war.
  While I intend to support this vital bill, I must emphatically state 
that abusing the process and failing to deliver on our country's 
emergency needs is a failure of leadership of the highest order. The 
American people deserve much better.
  Mr. OBEY. I yield 2 minutes to the chairwoman of the Foreign 
Operations Appropriations Subcommittee, the distinguished gentlewoman 
from New York (Mrs. Lowey).
  Mrs. LOWEY. Madam Speaker, I rise in support of providing urgently 
needed funds for our troops and diplomats to address the most pressing 
international crisis.
  This bill provides approximately $3.7 billion for State Department 
operations and assistance programs in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq, 
which are critical, not to continue war but to execute the President's 
strategy to bring home our troops.
  My subcommittee is addressing serious concerns about the oversight of 
our assistance in Afghanistan. The administration must expend every 
dime of these funds responsibly and efficiently to advance our security 
interests.
  An additional $1.8 billion will aid recovery efforts in Haiti where 
1,450,000 people remain displaced and struggle daily to survive. Other 
international assistance includes $175 million for Mexico for 
counternarcotics programs and $150 million in economic and military 
assistance for Jordan, an important ally facing increased economic and 
security pressures.
  While I am pleased this bill includes an increased responsibility for 
airlines to check passenger lists against the TSA's issued No Fly List 
to prevent continued air security breakdowns, I am deeply disappointed 
it has been stripped of funding to help prevent teacher layoffs--an 
emergency in our districts. I hope the House will provide additional 
funds to preserve and create jobs in the coming months to continue our 
economic recovery.
  Mr. LEWIS of California. Madam Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to our 
leader on the Armed Services Committee, the gentleman from California, 
Buck McKeon.
  Mr. McKEON. I thank the gentleman for yielding.
  Madam Speaker, I rise today in strong support of the long delayed 
troop funding supplemental. The failure to pass this supplemental 
before the August work period would result in severe consequences to 
our military departments.
  Last Thursday, Undersecretaries of the Army, Navy, and Air Force 
testified at our committee that, without this supplemental, their 
services will be dangerously close to the point of having to furlough 
Department of Defense employees. According to Robert Work, 
Undersecretary of the Navy, the failure to pass the supplemental before 
the recess would ``hamstring the department's operations for the 
remainder of the year and significantly disrupt operations within the 
department.''
  Madam Speaker, these are departments at war. The President sent us 
his troop funding request in February. Our former commander in 
Afghanistan, General McChrystal, urged its passage by Memorial Day. 
Secretary of Defense Robert Gates said if the supplemental were not 
passed by the Fourth of July recess, the department would have to 
resort to doing stupid things. Now we are 60 days past Memorial Day.
  Those of us here in Congress cannot lose sight of the broader 
perspective. Our brave military men and women and their civilian 
counterparts are in the midst of a tough fight that is critical to U.S. 
national security. Cutting off their funding in the middle of that 
fight is tantamount to abandonment. I have confidence that General 
Petraeus and our troops will succeed in Afghanistan if given the time, 
space, and resources they need to complete their mission.
  In December and again when we tapped General Petraeus, the President 
reminded us of why we are in Afghanistan. It was the epicenter of where 
al Qaeda planned and launched the 9/11 attacks against innocent 
Americans. The timeline for success in Afghanistan can not be dictated 
by arbitrary political clocks here in Washington. It must be driven by 
the operational clock in Kabul, Kandahar, and the Afghan countryside. 
We all hope and pray that this goal can be accomplished by July 2011, 
but conditions on the ground must dictate the pace of any withdrawal.
  The Democratic leadership in the House has tried to advance their 
domestic political agenda on the backs of our forces while at the same 
time permitting one antiwar measure after another to be debated on the 
House floor. This is cynical and wrong.
  A vote on a clean troop funding bill is long overdue. We should have 
accomplished this work months ago, not in the last minutes before we 
adjourn for the August work period. We must send this troop funding to 
the President without further delay. I encourage all Members to send a 
clear message to our military men and women by supporting this critical 
troop funding bill.
  This Congress believes in you. We support you and we honor your 
dedication.

                              {time}  1100

  Mr. OBEY. I yield 2 minutes to the distinguished gentleman from Texas 
(Mr. Edwards), the chairman of the Military Construction Subcommittee.
  Mr. EDWARDS of Texas. Madam Speaker, I rise today in strong support 
of this bill which will provide our service men and women the vital 
support they need to carry out their missions in Afghanistan and Iraq. 
This bill also strongly supports America's veterans by including $13.4 
billion in funds for Vietnam veterans exposed to agent orange. And I 
thank Chairman Obey for his strong support of this provision.
  Last October VA Secretary Shinseki announced that the VA had found 
linkages between agent orange and three additional diseases, 
Parkinson's disease, ischemic heart disease and B cell

[[Page H6064]]

leukemia. This presumption allows veterans who served in the Vietnam 
War and who have these diseases to have these benefits expedited.
  Rick Weidman, director of government relations at the Vietnam 
Veterans of America, says this bill ``provides some measure of justice 
to these very ill Vietnam veterans and their families by making the 
funds available for vitally needed health care and just compensation to 
replace their lost earnings due to these illnesses.''
  Passage of this bill, Madam Speaker, would mean that 86,000 Vietnam 
veterans or their survivors, at long last, who were previously denied 
disability compensation, would now be eligible for retroactive 
payments. In addition, the VA anticipates that approximately 67,400 new 
claims will be filed.
  It is important that we pass this bill in support of both our active 
duty service men and women and our veterans to send a clear message 
that our country is grateful for those who serve today and will never 
forget those who served in years past.
  I urge swift passage of this bill.
  Mr. LEWIS of California. Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my 
time.
  Mr. OBEY. I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Missouri (Mr. 
Skelton), the distinguished chairman of the Armed Services Committee.
  Mr. SKELTON. Madam Speaker, today we take a vital step toward 
fulfilling one of Congress' most basic and important responsibilities. 
We will provide the men and women of the United States military with 
the resources they need to carry out their missions in Iraq and 
Afghanistan, missions for which they are risking their lives.
  While I wish we would have been able to send a bill to the President 
sooner, passage of this bill today will ensure that funding is provided 
to the Department of Defense without any operational disruptions.
  Without this bill, the Department of Defense would be forced to use 
inefficient and costly budget workarounds throughout the month of 
August. According to testimony the Armed Service Committee received 
last week, without this bill the Department of Defense would be forced 
in September to furlough thousands of civilian employees and would even 
be forced to reprogram funding to pay the troops.
  Instead, by passing this bill today on a strong bipartisan vote, we 
can uphold the best traditions of Congress in support of our national 
security.
  Mr. LEWIS of California. Madam Speaker, I have no further requests 
for time, and I continue to reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. OBEY. I yield 2 minutes to the distinguished gentleman from 
Massachusetts (Mr. McGovern), a key member of the Rules Committee.
  Mr. McGOVERN. I thank Chairman Obey for yielding me the time and for 
his incredible leadership on so many issues.
  Madam Speaker, after nearly 10 years, thousands of American troops 
killed or wounded, and hundreds of billions of dollars of borrowed 
money, I believe we must radically change our policy in Afghanistan.
  Of all the disturbing things in the recent Rolling Stone article 
about this war, the most disturbing was this: a senior adviser to 
General McChrystal said that if the American people paid more attention 
to the war, it would become even less popular.
  Well, after seeing the documents published yesterday, it's clear what 
he was talking about: corruption and incompetence in the Afghan 
Government, questions about the role of the Pakistani intelligence 
services.
  Madam Speaker, the same old same old is simply not working, and it's 
costing us dearly. At a time when the American people are suffering 
through the worst economy in generations, we're told that we can't 
afford to extend unemployment benefits. We're told that we can't afford 
to help States keep cops on the beat or teachers in the classroom. 
We're told we can't afford to help more families send their kids to 
college.
  But today, we're asked to borrow another $33 billion for nation-
building in Afghanistan.
  Well, with all due respect, Madam Speaker, I think we need to do some 
more nation-building here at home.
  All of us are dedicated to defeating al Qaeda wherever they are, but 
our current policy in Afghanistan is deeply flawed. Occupying 
Afghanistan in support of a corrupt and incompetent government will 
continue to claim the lives of our soldiers. It will continue to 
bankrupt us, and it will not enhance our national security.
  This is not just the President's war. It's our war too. Congress has 
an obligation to ask the tough questions and demand straight answers. 
We must not simply kick the can down the road and hope for the best.
  Our troops and their families have made incredible sacrifices. They 
deserve a policy worthy of those sacrifices. It is a mistakes to give 
this administration yet another blank check for this war.
  I urge my colleagues to vote ``no'' on this bill and make it clear 
that Congress demands a different approach.
  Mr. OBEY. I yield 1 minute to the distinguished gentleman from Ohio 
(Mr. Kucinich).
  Mr. KUCINICH. Wikileaks released 92,000 previously secret documents, 
totaling 200,000 pages, any one of which could conceivably be a case 
for a congressional hearing, which demonstrate that Congress has not 
been given a true account of the war by either the military or by two 
administrations. It would be good if Congress had announced hearings 
once WikiLeaks documents came forward.
  But what we've learned is this: our troops are being placed in mortal 
peril because of poor logistics, countless innocent civilians killed by 
mistake, an Afghanistan Government which is hopelessly corrupt, 
Pakistan intelligence collaborating with the Taliban against the U.S., 
the Pentagon understating the fire power of the insurgents, a top 
Pakistani general visiting a suicide bombing school monthly.
  Will we go deeper in this war in Afghanistan despite an abundance of 
information that it's time to get out?
  We need to make the decision now. Today, vote against the 
supplemental.
  Mr. OBEY. I yield 2 minutes to the distinguished gentlewoman from 
California (Ms. Lee).
  Ms. LEE of California. I thank the gentleman for yielding and for his 
leadership.
  Madam Speaker, less than a month ago Congress finally began the 
debate on the war in Afghanistan that should have really been held 9 
years ago.
  While evidence continues to mount that our military engagement in 
Afghanistan has become a quagmire of corruption and ill-defined 
objectives, the bill under consideration will provide, if you can 
believe this, another $37 billion for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq 
that have already cost this Nation more than $1 trillion.
  Congress cannot continue to write a blank check for a war in 
Afghanistan that has ultimately made our country less safe. Our brave 
men and women in uniform have been put in an impossible situation in 
Afghanistan where there is no military solution.
  It is time to provide funding for only their safe and orderly 
withdrawal. No more funding for combat operations.
  It's a shame and disgrace that we cannot support justice long overdue 
for black farmers, or youth employment programs, or teachers, 
firefighters and police officers who need their jobs, or temporary 
assistance for needed families.
  The Congressional Black Caucus continues to fight for jobs here in 
our own country. Let's not spend another dollar to escalate America's 
longest war. The costs of this war are too enormous in blood and 
treasure.
  I urge my colleagues to stand in opposition to a policy of war 
without end, and vote against this bill, and really begin to look at 
our priorities and our own country.
  Yes, we need to help continue to stabilize, actually, regionally, in 
terms of Afghanistan and the Middle East and the wars that our young 
men and women have served in so well. But, no, we cannot continue to do 
it in the way that we have done it. And so I respectfully ask for a 
``no'' vote.
  It's time to change direction in Afghanistan. It's time to vote for 
jobs in our own country.

                              {time}  1110

  Mr. LEWIS of California. I continue to reserve the balance of my 
time.
  Mr. OBEY. I yield 1 minute to the distinguished gentlewoman from 
Texas (Ms. Jackson Lee).

[[Page H6065]]

  Ms. JACKSON LEE of Texas. I thank the distinguished chairman.
  Having recently returned from Afghanistan, I can say to you that our 
soldiers are resilient, and the people of Afghanistan are looking for 
their government to provide them with the leadership and the resources 
to improve their quality of life. But our plan is not working.
  And now that we have two of our trusted and wonderful naval personnel 
missing, and we realize that this is a place that needs a plan, we 
cannot continue to support this war when the Government of Afghanistan 
will not stand up. They will have the necessary security forces. They 
need to be in front of the line.
  And we need to provide moneys for Pell grants, for teachers, and 
firefighters, and police officers, for the settlement for black 
farmers, 100,000 of them, and for youth jobs and summer jobs for people 
in America who are unemployed, and those families who need support as a 
bridge to carry them over.
  I believe in this Nation, and I believe in our soldiers. I salute 
them. And I believe it is time to bring them home with honors. They are 
our heroes. They have done what they needed to do in Afghanistan. They 
provided for a democratic government. It's time now to bring them home 
with honor. Vote ``no'' on this supplemental.
  Mr. LEWIS of California. Madam Speaker, I am prepared to yield 2 
minutes, by way of a colloquy, to my colleague, the chairman of the 
Subcommittee on National Defense, the gentleman from Washington, Norm 
Dicks.
  Mr. DICKS. I appreciate the gentleman yielding to me.
  The purpose for this is just to discuss the situation. The Secretary 
of Defense and the comptroller have made it very clear that money for 
our troops in the field in Afghanistan and Iraq will start running out 
by August 7. So we have a responsibility to the men and women who are 
serving this country in harm's way--and we've seen the horrific 
injuries that these people have suffered--to make certain that they 
have the resources to conduct this operation until something different 
is the policy of the United States.
  I just hope that we can have a bipartisan vote here today of people 
who understand their responsibility and recognize that we've got to 
provide the funding. If we don't get the funding done today, Mr. Hoyer 
has already said we're not going home. We're going to stay here until 
we get this done.
  So I think this is a responsibility of this Congress. We have had 
months to work on this thing. And it's now time to get the job done. I 
hope that we can have bipartisan support on both sides of the aisle for 
this supplemental.
  It isn't the supplemental that I wanted. I had I think a much better 
bill. But the reality is time has run out. We've got to do it now.
  Mr. LEWIS of California. Will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. DICKS. I yield to the gentleman from California.
  Mr. LEWIS of California. I very much appreciate the leadership that 
my colleague is providing on the Defense Subcommittee of 
Appropriations. He knows very clearly that Secretary Gates is faced 
with his back against the wall. We've got to deliver this supplemental 
now. And I applaud very much his leadership in connection with this 
effort. I thank the gentleman.
  Mr. OBEY. I yield 1 minute to the distinguished gentleman from 
Washington (Mr. Inslee).
  (Mr. INSLEE asked and was given permission to revise and extend his 
remarks.)
  Mr. INSLEE. I wish to address the security of our citizens. Here's a 
headline July 26 that we're going to see repeated across the country in 
the next year: ``Linwood Cops Face Job Cuts.'' We are facing a 25 
percent reduction of police officers in Linwood, Washington, because we 
can't pay for them, our first line of security in our neighborhoods. 
But today we would be voting for something on the order of over several 
years of about $4 billion to train police officers in Kabul, 
Afghanistan.
  It is wrong to be borrowing money from China, laying off American 
police officers, to train police officers in Afghanistan. And it is 
wrong because it isn't showing respect for the few families that are 
fighting this war, our troops and their families, while the rest of us 
go to the beach and not be fiscally responsible for this war.
  If we're going to fight this war, we should pay for it. And we should 
pay for it in a way that keeps our cops on the beat, our first line of 
security.
  Mr. LEWIS of California. Madam Speaker, I yield myself the balance of 
my time.
  In closing, I want to one more time express my deep appreciation for 
the Senate, of all things, for rejecting billions of dollars of 
nonemergency spending placed on the backs of our troops. Let's support 
our men and women in uniform, support disaster assistance for areas of 
the country in need, and pass this spending bill today.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. OBEY. I yield myself the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman is recognized for 2\1/2\ 
minutes.
  Mr. OBEY. Madam Speaker, I don't know when it was that this Congress 
has suddenly decided that when we talk about critical needs that that 
does not include border security, that that does not include meeting 
our obligation to those students in this country who are eligible for 
Pell Grants who also must get funding in this bill, and our school 
children, who do a whole lot better if they don't lose 100,000 teachers 
out of the classroom nationwide.
  The second point I would make is simply this. If the Pakistani and 
Afghan Governments were doing half the job that American troops are 
doing in this war, I wouldn't be worried about supporting this bill. 
But tragically, they aren't. And the biggest favor we can do those 
troops is to recognize that reality.
  As I indicated, I will vote ``no'' on this piece of legislation.

\1\ Included in the Senate amendment to H.R. 4899.

  Ms. BORDALLO. Madam Speaker, I rise in strong support of H.R. 4899, 
the Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2010. This legislation provides 
crucial funding to our servicemen and women who are serving in harm's 
way and protecting our Nation.
  In addition, this legislation will provide funding to maintain 
America's strategic posture in the Pacific region. H.R. 4899 includes 
$50 million in funding for the Port of Guam. Specifically, the 
legislation authorizes the Department of Defense to transfer $50 
million of operations and maintenance funds to the Port of Guam 
Improvement Enterprise Fund within the Maritime Administration. The $50 
million in funding is critical to begin necessary infrastructure 
improvements and modernization projects at the Port of Guam.
  The 110th Congress took positive action when it authorized the Port 
of Guam Improvement Enterprise Fund as section 3512 of the Duncan 
Hunter National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2009 (Public 
Law 110-417). This provision, which I sponsored, codified an important 
relationship between the Maritime Administration and the Port Authority 
of Guam. The provision was critical to ensuring that the Federal 
Government would bring its expertise to assist the Port of Guam in 
beginning necessary improvements.
  The Port of Guam has repeatedly been identified as a potential 
chokepoint for the delivery of materials, supplies and personnel to 
support the realignment of military forces to Guam. Further, the Port's 
operational capabilities are critical to maintaining civilian economic 
development on the island. If these improvements are not made, the 
realignment of military forces to Guam would be severely delayed, add 
additional costs to future military construction and could hinder the 
island's economy. Furthermore, in September 2009 the United States 
Transportation Command designated Guam as the 16th strategic port in 
the United States. Strategic port designation indicated the importance 
of the Port of Guam to our economic and military posture in the Asia-
Pacific region.
  The $50 million in transfer authority for the Port of Guam in H.R. 
4899 marks an important step toward ensuring the success of the 
military build-up on Guam and the future economic development of the 
island. After the Port of Guam was denied critical Recovery Act 
funding, the Obama Administration took quick action and requested the 
transfer authority. This demonstrates the Administration's commitment 
to address our island's longstanding infrastructure needs and I 
appreciate its support and leadership on this matter. I would also like 
to thank my colleagues in Congress for their support, in particular 
Congressman David Obey, Chairman of the House Committee on 
Appropriations; Congressman Norm Dicks, Chairman of the Subcommittee on 
Defense and Congressman John Olver, Chairman of the Subcommittee on 
Transportation, Housing and Urban Development and Related Agencies.
  Mr. BOEHNER. Madam Speaker, while I'm concerned about why this 
critical troop funding bill was delayed, I am pleased the House is 
finally focused on meeting the most pressing needs of our troops and 
our Nation. I told the president three months ago that Republicans 
would work with him to pass a clean troop funding bill through 
Congress.
  Unfortunately, this funding was delayed for months while Democrats 
sought to add billions in unnecessary, unrelated spending to the bill. 
This is unacceptable, especially when we're borrowing 41 cents of every 
dollar we spend from our kids and grandkids.
  As we vote today, we should take a moment to reflect on the 
sacrifices our troops and their families have made, and continue to 
make, in Iraq and Afghanistan. For nine years, we have asked our troops 
to leave their families and risk their lives to advance freedom abroad 
and protect our security at home. They have met every challenge 
presented to them, and continue pushing themselves every day to carry 
out a long, difficult, and dangerous mission.
  As our troops continue their fight, it is imperative that Congress 
provide the resources they need, and remain committed to supporting 
them in the mission we have sent them on.
  Denying terrorists a safe haven in Afghanistan is critical to the 
safety and security of our country. Going forward, I hope we will focus 
our attention on supporting our troops in a timely manner and promoting 
our long-term national security at home and abroad.
  Ms. McCOLLUM. Madam Speaker, across our country there are 
communities, businesses, and families that continue to struggle to 
escape an economic recession that has caused far reaching hardship and 
too much pain. Congress has a responsibility to ensure the economic 
security of the American people, as well as defend the national 
security of the Nation. This appropriations bill does not adequately 
meet the needs of the American people and I will not vote to pass it.
  Today's vote on the emergency supplemental appropriation provides $37 
billion to continue the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, plus nearly $3 
billion for the crisis in Haiti. There is also $13 billion in funds for 
Vietnam War era veterans which I strongly support. To my great dismay 
the funds previously passed by the House to address urgent domestic 
needs such as securing our borders, preventing 100,000 teachers from 
layoffs, creating youth summer jobs, and financing Pell grants for 
higher education have been stripped from this bill by the U.S. Senate. 
Unlike the war funding which is financed by deficit spending, the House 
fully paid for the domestic priorities that were removed. It is simply 
unacceptable to abandon the serious needs of our

[[Page H6067]]

communities while calling the war in Afghanistan--the longest war in 
the history of the United States--an ``emergency.''
  Since 2001, following the September 11th attack on the U.S., I have 
supported military action in Afghanistan to remove the Taliban from 
power and eliminate al-Qaeda. During this time U.S. and NATO troops 
have bravely pursued a military strategy that has provided the Afghan 
people with an opportunity to rebuild their country and determine their 
own future. It is now time for Afghans to be fully responsible for 
their own destiny without dependence on 100,000 U.S. troops.
  After nine years of war and more than $300 billion of war funds added 
to our national debt, it is clear that an open ended U.S. military 
presence in Afghanistan is not acceptable to Afghans or Americans. 
President Obama is correct to have established a July 2011 date to 
begin withdrawal of U.S. forces. Still I question whether an additional 
eleven months of U.S. troops in combat will result in a security and 
political environment that will be significantly improved from what 
exists today. I believe now is the time for a movement away from an 
expanded military presence in Afghanistan towards a strategic drawdown 
of U.S. troops and a refocus on a counter-terrorism strategy to prevent 
al-Qaeda from again taking root.
  On July 1, 2010 during debate on this supplemental bill, I supported 
amendments to move towards ending the U.S. military presence in 
Afghanistan by putting limits on the funds appropriated. Unfortunately 
those amendments failed. I voted for the ``Lee Amendment'' to limit the 
use of military funding for Afghanistan to activities related to the 
safe withdrawal of troops and the continued protection of civilian and 
military personnel in the country. I also voted for the ``McGovern, 
Obey, Jones Amendment'' which calls for a plan for the safe, orderly 
and expeditious redeployment of U.S. troops from Afghanistan. Today's 
vote allows no such amendments to be offered.
  It was a surprise to listen today to one of my Republican colleagues, 
the Armed Services ranking member, who stated during debate on this 
bill that the U.S. will succeed in Afghanistan if Congress only gives 
the military the ``time, space and resources.'' This Republican call 
for apparently endless resources for Afghanistan is in sharp contrast 
to their policies here at home in which ``no'' is their position on 
providing emergency assistance for our own citizens.
  Madam Speaker, I would like to commend the courage and determination 
of all U.S. troops who are serving in Afghanistan or have served there 
since 2002. The Afghan people suffered mercilessly under the Taliban 
regime and it was U.S. and NATO troops who freed them from a medieval 
existence. It is not an appropriate role for U.S. troops to rebuild a 
country that has experienced 30 years of war nor can they provide on-
going security for a government which has not earned the trust of its 
own people.
  U.S. troops deserve a mission that is clear and achievable so they 
can return safely home with the knowledge that they have helped to keep 
America secure and allowed the Afghan people to make their own future. 
It is now time for the Afghan people to make that future.
  Mr. BRALEY of Iowa. Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of this 
bill but also to voice my strong concerns with the direction of the 
wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. While I fully support ensuring the safety 
of our Nation's troops, I have serious concerns over the provisions of 
this bill related to the funding of the conflicts. I have long 
advocated a responsible withdrawal from Afghanistan and believe that 
the continued funding of these wars outside of the appropriations 
process without a plan in place for withdrawal is reckless and 
wasteful. I firmly believe that Congress must require a responsible 
exit strategy from Afghanistan and work to ensure that the withdrawal 
of U.S. forces from Iraq remains on track.
  Over the weekend, severe weather across Iowa caused heavy rains, 
thunderstorms, hail, tornadoes, and flooding that devastated numerous 
communities in my district. I support this bill today for the $5.1 
billion included to replenish the Federal Emergency Management Agency's 
Disaster Relief Fund, which has been operating at a dangerously low 
level since the beginning of this year, halting recovery projects in 
Iowa and across the country from past disasters. With the recent 
disasters in my district, I believe this continued funding is vital to 
ensure that my constituents and other citizens who are faced with 
disaster have the necessary assistance to recover and rebuild from 
these devastating storms.
  I applaud the House and Senate for acting today to ensure appropriate 
funding is available for disaster recovery and for other provisions in 
support of veterans, but I do not support another blank check for the 
wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
  Mr. VAN HOLLEN. Madam Speaker, I support President Obama's request to 
provide our troops with the equipment and support they need for their 
mission. We also owe it to our troops to have a realistic strategy that 
is worthy of their sacrifice.
  The toughest decisions we face as a nation are questions of war and 
peace. Whenever we ask the men and women of our armed forces to put 
their lives at risk, the President and Members of Congress have a 
solemn obligation to consider all the facts and exercise their best 
judgment for the country.
  More than 8 years ago, our nation was the target of a terrorist 
attack launched by al Qaeda operating out of Afghanistan. The United 
Nations unanimously passed a resolution supporting the right of the 
United States to respond forcefully to that attack. Our NATO allies 
universally backed our actions, invoking the provisions of the NATO 
charter stating that an attack on one was an attack on all. Today, 
largely because the Bush administration diverted attention and 
resources away from this region to Iraq, Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda 
continue to regain strength and plot attacks against Americans from 
along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. The Bush Administration also 
failed to persuade Pakistan to confront the Afghan Taliban insurgents 
operating inside Pakistan with the support of al Qaeda.
  While there is no doubt that al Qaeda operates in parts of Yemen, 
Sudan, Somalia, and other areas, the Afghanistan-Pakistan border region 
remains the operational and ideological center for al Qaeda's global 
operations. The President is right to conclude that allowing al Qaeda 
to operate there unchecked poses a serious security risk to the U.S. 
and American citizens around the world.
  President Obama has developed a carefully considered and 
comprehensive ``counterinsurgency'' strategy for Afghanistan and 
Pakistan that relies not only on the use of troops but also the use of 
civilian resources.
  The strategy has four parts. First, American and NATO forces will 
accelerate the training and deployment of the Afghan national security 
forces, both army and police. This will allow U.S. forces to begin 
returning home starting in July of next year. Second, in the interim, 
U.S. and Afghan forces will reverse the Taliban's momentum by working 
to stabilize major population centers.
  Third, the strategy engages Pakistan as a full partner in these 
efforts. As a result of better coordination between our two countries, 
for the first time since the beginning of the war, al Qaeda and the 
Taliban are being genuinely challenged by the Pakistan military.
  Finally, the U.S. will work with its partners in Afghanistan and 
Pakistan to create a more effective civilian strategy--with the goal of 
establishing sustainable economic opportunities for Afghans and 
strengthening the country's national and local governance structures. 
As the 9-11 Commission determined, extremist groups exploit the poor 
socioeconomic conditions, such as high unemployment, in the border 
areas to gain adherents to their cause. With this in mind, I introduced 
the Afghanistan-Pakistan Security and Prosperity Enhancement Act, which 
will allow the President to designate Reconstruction Opportunity Zones, 
ROZs, in Afghanistan and parts of Pakistan and allow qualified 
businesses duty-free access to U.S. markets for designated products. 
This legislation, which has passed the House and is pending in the 
Senate, would help create meaningful job opportunities for young people 
who are currently vulnerable to the lure of extremism.
  The President's strategy contains a timeline which initiates a 
responsible redeployment of American troops in July of next year. He 
has established this timeline to send a clear message to the Afghan 
government that they must take seriously their role in creating a 
stable Afghanistan and to communicate to the people of Afghanistan that 
the U.S. has no interest in an open-ended engagement in their country.
  During floor consideration of the House bill, I supported the 
McGovern/Obey Amendment, which would codify the president's plan to 
initiate a responsible drawdown of U.S. forces beginning a year from 
now. That amendment required that by April 4, 2011, the president 
submit to Congress a redeployment plan that is consistent with the 
policy he announced in December 2009. That amendment did not pass and 
the Senate bill did not contain a similar amendment.
  The choice we face today is to cut off all funds for our troops in 
the field and operations in Afghanistan or support President Obama's 
request to provide the resources necessary to support the strategy 
outlined in his speech of December 2009. I oppose the immediate 
withdrawal of all U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan for two reasons. 
First, it would immediately strengthen the hand of the most extremist 
Taliban leaders (those most closely tied to al Qaeda), undercutting any 
leverage behind ongoing efforts to get some Taliban fighters to lay 
down their arms and undermining Afghan President Hamid Karzai's new 
initiative to reach a political accommodation with those members of the 
Taliban open to national reconciliation. If such a political solution 
is undermined and the old Taliban regime

[[Page H6068]]

retakes control of Afghanistan, they will again turn that country into 
a safe haven for expanded al Qaeda operations. It would also lead to 
the return of an extreme Taliban regime that encourages horrendous acts 
like pouring gasoline into the eyes of girls who attempt to go to 
school.
  Second, the immediate withdrawal of U.S. and NATO forces would weaken 
Pakistan's resolve to confront the Pakistani Taliban, the Afghan 
Taliban, and al Qaeda. The most promising development over the last 
year has been the Government of Pakistan's willingness to fight the 
growing menace of the Pakistani Taliban. In addition, very recently, 
the Pakistani government has also shown a willingness to confront 
elements of the Afghan Taliban. The capture of Mullah Bandar, the 
operational chief of the Afghan Taliban, and two Afghan Taliban shadow 
governors, demonstrates this progress. The withdrawal of U.S. forces 
from Afghanistan would sabotage those nascent efforts. Why should the 
Pakistani forces confront the Afghan Taliban if the U.S. walks away 
now?
  There are no guarantees of success in Afghanistan and Pakistan. But, 
we do know that failure to confront al Qaeda would leave Americans 
constantly exposed to another attack like that perpetrated on September 
11, 2001.
  Madam Speaker, I support adoption of the FY10 Supplemental 
Appropriations bill.
  Mr. GARY G. MILLER of California. Madam Speaker, I rise in support of 
H.R. 4899, the Supplemental Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2010. 
Overall, this legislation provides necessary war funding and essential 
support for our Nation's military--without arbitrary benchmarks or 
timetables that would tie the hands of our military commanders--and 
much needed assistance for several other emergency needs.
  For the men and women in uniform fighting in the defense of freedom, 
this troop funding bill is long overdue. Although the President had 
requested emergency funding in February, House Democrats have finally 
brought a clean version of the Supplemental Appropriations bill after 
multiple and convoluted attempts to attach expensive and controversial 
items on the legislation.
  Approving this clean supplemental quickly and getting it to our 
military leaders is a top priority. Inaction would force our commanders 
to begin making compromising budget decisions that could negatively 
affect our military readiness. It would also signal to our enemies a 
lack of resolve that could undermine our mission in several very 
dangerous areas of the world.
  In addition to providing our troops with this necessary funding, the 
bill also contains $162 million to support the victims of the Gulf oil 
spill. Although I own stock in Transocean, I did not place the funding 
for the oil spill in the legislation and do not consider it a conflict 
of interest to vote for this bill. All in all, this funding represents 
less than .3 percent of the entire funding contained in the bill.
  Mr. BLUMENAUER. Madam Speaker, as a nation, we face challenges 
ranging from education shortfalls and growing energy needs to a slowly 
recovering job market. We cannot afford to escalate the Afghan war with 
a credit card. The mounting loss of life and widespread corruption 
gives no indication that more money and more boots on the ground will 
achieve success in Afghanistan.
  We need success at home. The elements in the bill for veterans 
exposed to Agent Orange and for FEMA are a start. I cannot support a 
bill that spends $37 billion in Afghanistan while denying $10 billion 
for teacher jobs, $1 billion for summer youth employment, $5 billion 
for Pell grants, and $701 million for border security. My votes signal 
in the strongest possible terms that this war must be wound down and 
not escalated.
  Across Oregon, our priorities are helping small businesses, creating 
jobs, and supporting our schools.
  We need to start making the right choices. This means drawing down 
from a costly war that Americans and Afghans want to end, and investing 
in a better, more productive future for our country.
  Mr. OBEY. I yield back the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the 
gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Obey) that the House suspend the rules, 
recede from the House amendment to the Senate amendment to the bill, 
H.R. 4899, and concur in the Senate amendment.
  The question was taken.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. In the opinion of the Chair, two-thirds 
being in the affirmative, the ayes have it.
  Mr. OBEY. Madam Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays.
  The yeas and nays were ordered.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX and the 
Chair's prior announcement, further proceedings on this motion will be 
postponed.
