XVIII, the Chair declares the House in the Committee of the Whole House
on the State of the Union for the further consideration of the bill,

{time} 0915
In the Committee of the Whole
Accordingly, the House resolved itself into the Committee of the
Whole House on the State of the Union for the further consideration of
the bill (H.R. 754) to authorize appropriations for fiscal year 2011
for intelligence and intelligence-related activities of the United
States Government, the Community Management Account, and the Central
Intelligence Agency Retirement and Disability System, and for other
purposes, with Mr. Bishop of Utah (Acting Chair) in the chair.
The Clerk read the title of the bill.
The Acting CHAIR. When the Committee of the Whole rose on Thursday,
May 12, 2011, a request for a recorded vote on amendment No. 8 printed
in House Report 112-75, offered by the gentleman from Delaware (Mr.
Carney), had been postponed.
Amendment No. 9 Offered by Mr. Reed
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 9
printed in House Report 112-75.
Mr. REED. 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:
At the end of the bill, add the following new title:
TITLE V--HONORING THE MEMBERS OF THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY FOR THEIR
ROLE IN THE MISSION THAT KILLED OSAMA BIN LADEN ON MAY 1, 2011
SEC. 501. HONORING THE MEMBERS OF THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY
FOR THEIR ROLE IN THE MISSION THAT KILLED OSAMA
BIN LADEN ON MAY 1, 2011.
Congress--
(1) commends the men and women of the intelligence
community for the tremendous commitment, perseverance,
professionalism, and sacrifice they displayed in bringing
Osama bin Laden to justice;
(2) commends the men and women of the intelligence
community for committing themselves to defeating, disrupting,
and dismantling al Qaeda; and
(3) reaffirms its commitment to using the capabilities and
skills of the intelligence community to--
(A) disrupt, dismantle, and defeat al Qaeda and affiliated
organizations around the world that threaten the national
security of the United States;
(B) eliminate safe havens for terrorists in Afghanistan and
Pakistan; and
(C) bring terrorists to justice.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 264, the gentleman
from New York (Mr. Reed) and a Member opposed each will control 15
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from New York.
Mr. REED. Mr. Chairman, I rise today to join with my colleague, the
gentleman from New York (Mr. Grimm), to offer an amendment honoring the
brave members of the intelligence community for their role in the
mission that killed Osama bin Laden on May 1, 2011.
As we all know, Osama bin Laden was killed on May 1 by members of the
SEAL team 6. The heroics of this SEAL team have been well documented in
the press over the past weeks, but the work of other professionals in
the intelligence community is less well known and has received less
attention.
Bringing Osama bin Laden to justice was the result of over 10 years
of hard work and dedication. This historic operation was truly a team
effort and an achievement shared by members of every intelligence
agency and our entire Armed Forces.
The diligent, painstaking work of our intelligence services made
possible the recent successful action carried out by our military
against Osama bin Laden. For this reason, Mr. Grimm and I feel the
intelligence community is also deserving of recognition as a whole.
They worked long hours in distant parts of the world, far from their
families, far from their friends, to keep our country safe.
When the members of the American intelligence community do their job,
no one really knows about it. They are silent warriors who keep us
safe. They are deserving of our deepest gratitude.
Mr. Chairman, this amendment does exactly that. It commends our
intelligence community for a job well done in bringing Osama bin Laden
to justice. Thanks to the diligence of these intelligence
professionals, the world is a safer place without Osama bin Laden.
Mr. Chairman, even though Osama bin Laden has been brought to
justice, the war on terror is not over. This amendment commends the men
and women of the intelligence community for committing themselves to
defeating, disrupting, and dismantling al Qaeda and all terrorist
organizations that will do harm to our great Nation.
This amendment also reaffirms our commitment to using the
capabilities and skills of the intelligence community to disrupt,
dismantle, and defeat terrorism once and for all from the face of this
earth.
[[Page H3286]]
Mr. Chairman, I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on this amendment.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. RUPPERSBERGER. Mr. Chairman, I rise to claim the time in
opposition to this amendment, even though I am not opposed to Mr.
Reed's amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, the gentleman from Maryland is
recognized for 15 minutes.
There was no objection.
Mr. RUPPERSBERGER. The killing of Osama bin Laden was a great
achievement for our intelligence professionals, who have been working
to eliminate this threat to our national security for years.
Osama bin Laden was a terrorist leader who was responsible for
killing thousands of innocent Americans, moms, dads, brothers, sisters,
friends, and loved ones. As we all know, 9/11 changed America forever.
On May 1, 2011, our military and intelligence professionals took
extraordinary steps. People from the CIA, NSA, NGA, and elsewhere
worked together as a team to get this job done. The mission was risky,
but it was executed with great skill and precision. These professionals
risked their lives to keep the country safe, and no Americans were
lost.
The men and women who carried out this operation exemplify the
extraordinary courage of those who serve our Nation, including our
special operations.
The countless intelligence and counterterrorism professionals who
have pursued bin Laden for years have the satisfaction of a job well
done. I am glad we are able to honor those intelligence professionals
in this Intelligence Authorization Act, including the military
professionals. A grateful Nation thanks them for their service.
I reserve the balance of my time.
{time} 0920
Mr. REED. Mr. Chairman, at this time I am glad to yield such time as
he may consume to my great colleague from New York (Mr. Gibson).
Mr. GIBSON. I thank the gentleman for yielding.
It is great to be here on the floor today. And I see we have the
chair and the ranking member of the Intelligence Committee today too.
It is an honor to be in their presence.
We are here today with this amendment to commend and honor the
hardworking professionals in our intelligence community on the
successful operation against Osama bin Laden, the leader of al Qaeda,
who attacked our country on the 11th of September of 2001.
From my experiences in the Army deployed forward in Iraq, I know
counterinsurgency and counterterrorism operations are difficult,
complex, and require detailed analytical work to establish patterns of
life, target development, situational awareness and understanding.
Fortunately for us, we have the very best. From the tactical to the
operational to the strategic level, our intel community is filled with
incredibly talented people, the strength of any organization.
Recently, I had the opportunity to meet with the Director of the CIA
and the Director of the FBI to hear from them and to praise those who
work in those organizations, and today we expand that to all those
involved in the intelligence community: in uniform, out of uniform,
here in the Congress, all the way across.
Going forward, we know that we are going to need organizational
changes to consolidate the intel community which has grown
significantly since the 11th of September; but, fortunately for us, we
have the smartest, the most knowledgeable professionals in the world
who will help us make those reforms so we can continue to protect our
cherished way of life.
So once again, congratulations to all those who serve in the
intelligence organizations. I urge my colleagues to support this
amendment, and may God bless America.
Mr. RUPPERSBERGER. Mr. Chairman, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman
from New York (Mr. Nadler).
Mr. NADLER. Mr. Chairman, I rise in support of the Grimm-Reed
amendment to commend our intelligence community for their role in
eliminating Osama bin Laden.
Mr. Chairman, the killing of Osama bin Laden is the most significant
victory over our most significant enemy. It deserves recognition in the
Halls of Congress. That is why I was disappointed that the House
Republican leadership chose not to bring up something similar to Senate
Resolution 159. That resolution recognizes the hard work by all facets
of our government, from the President to the military to the
intelligence community. It honors the victims of 9/11 and their
families, and it is bipartisan, having passed the Senate 97-0.
I felt this type of resolution would be an appropriate vehicle with
which to commend those responsible for the death of bin Laden, so I
filed it as an amendment with the Rules Committee. But it was held not
to be germane.
I also filed the more narrow, more germane version with the Rules
Committee, a version that commended only the members of the
intelligence community who played a role in the operation. The
amendment before us from Representatives Grimm and Reed is identical
word for word to the version I originally filed with the Rules
Committee, and I am gratified that they saw the merit in the wording
that we drafted. While it does not adequately honor all those
responsible for our great victory over al Qaeda, the President and the
military in addition to the intelligence community, it does allow the
House to express its appreciation and commendation to the intelligence
community, and therefore I support it.
The recent death of Osama bin Laden is a measure of justice that was
long overdue. Hopefully, it will bring some comfort to the victims of
9/11 and their families, many of whom live in my district where the
World Trade Center was, of course, located.
I ask all Members to support the amendment.
Mr. REED. Mr. Chairman, I yield such time as he may consume to the
chairman of the Intelligence Committee, my colleague from Michigan (Mr.
Rogers).
Mr. ROGERS of Michigan. Thank you very much.
And I congratulate Mr. Reed on the amendment. I think it is wholly
appropriate that we commend all of the intelligence services and our
elite Special Forces who participated in bringing Osama bin Laden to
justice. And it really wasn't a victory over one person or one leader,
but a blow to the entire network, to the belief system of those that
believe violence, killing innocent men, women and children of all
religions, is a way to promote your political gains.
If you think about the incredible accomplishment that happened after,
and started really after 9/11, we had to make up for huge gaps in
humint intelligence. And through the help of this body and this
Congress and President Bush and then on to President Obama, we began to
reassemble the abilities and capabilities of our intelligence
community. Through interrogations, information was developed about how
al Qaeda works and we understood its logistics, how it finances and
recruits and moves people, how it recruits people to do suicide
bombings, how it plans operations. All of that came in the early days.
Then 5 years ago through an integration, there was a little piece of
information, a nickname applied to an alias with someone who was
hanging around other folks who were probably using nicknames applied to
an alias who may be a courier for Osama bin Laden. And through all of
our collection agencies, signals intelligence, satellite intelligence,
other forms of intelligence, a case was slowly and surely developed
that finally allowed, with a few lucky breaks and some great
determination from our intelligence community, the ability to locate
the place where they believed Osama bin Laden was hiding out. Once that
was determined, they brought in our Special Forces community, who did
an exceptional and superb job in bringing him to justice in what was a
difficult situation.
So I want to compliment Mr. Reed and Mr. Grimm for bringing this
amendment forward to give a small sense of recognition to all of the
work on behalf of the entire intelligence and Special Forces community,
and the soldiers too who risked their lives in holding ground in places
like Afghanistan to reestablish security there so that al Qaeda won't
find safe haven there when they leave. All of those
[[Page H3287]]
things and all of those capabilities are incredibly important. All of
that service and all of that sacrifice led to last Sunday's successful
event.
Let us not forget, al Qaeda may be hurt, they have lost their
operational and inspirational leader; but they are not down. This is
not the time to back off. This is not the time to say that we should do
other things or maybe we shouldn't be places at all. This is the time
to step on the gas and break the back of al Qaeda as a threat to the
world as we move forward.
Again, I want to congratulate Mr. Reed and Mr. Grimm, and I
wholeheartedly support this amendment.
Mr. RUPPERSBERGER. First, I thank the chairman for his comments. We
will work together on behalf of our country. It was a great day for
America when we brought bin Laden to justice. I think we can be proud
of the accomplishments of our intelligence community, our military, all
Americans that were involved in helping to bring this individual to
justice.
As the chairman said, we have a lot more to do. But let the word go
out to the world that if you come and you attempt to attack or kill
Americans, we will find you and we will bring you to justice.
I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. REED. Mr. Chairman, I want to again, in closing, offer my support
for this amendment. But I want to make sure the record is extremely
clear.
When Mr. Nadler, in his comments, commenting on his support of this
amendment, indicated that the Rules Committee was going to rule his
proposed amendment out of order for being non-germane, as a member of
the Rules Committee, I know that the chairman of the Rules Committee
had indicated that he was more than willing to accept Mr. Nadler's
amendment, germane amendment, but that amendment was withdrawn by Mr.
Nadler.
So I want the record to be very clear that we on this side of the
aisle were ready and very eager to support the amendment offered by Mr.
Nadler. And Mr. Grimm and I sought to make sure that this amendment was
brought to the floor of this House, because it is right to stand here
on this floor to recognize the intelligence community that had such a
great success in the taking and bringing to justice of Osama bin Laden.
So we ask that the record be clear on the issue and that all of our
colleagues rise today, and across the Nation, and take a moment to
recognize and applaud the efforts of our intelligence community; that
the men and women who work day in and day out in silence, with little
recognition, are recognized for at least one moment here on the floor
of the House and in the official records of this great body for the
great work that they do, and we applaud and we will always remember and
honor that work on a regular basis in our thoughts and in our prayers.
So I urge my colleagues to join us and support this amendment.
Ms. HAYWORTH. Mr. Chair, I rise today in strong support of the
amendment offered by Mr. Grimm commending our intelligence services'
``commitment, perseverance, professionalism, and sacrifice they
displayed in bringing Osama bin Laden to justice.''
Mr. Speaker, it is clear that the effort to bring Osama bin Laden to
justice was the result of countless hours of intelligence gathering,
analysis, sharp thinking, skilled interrogation, and mission execution.
The men and women who serve in our intelligence services, often
anonymously, are true professionals, and they deserve our utmost thanks
and gratitude.
I would also like to take this opportunity to commend President Obama
for his leadership in overseeing the mission that brought Osama bin
Laden to justice, and Leon Panetta for his stewardship of the Central
Intelligence Agency.
The death of Osama bin Laden closes a painful chapter in our Nation's
history. While I hope that the victims of, not only 9/11, but the
countless other acts of murder, terror, and brutality he perpetrated
can find some solace in his demise. But two headlines today remind us
of the challenges that we still face in the threat of terror.
In Islamabad today, a pair of suicide bombers struck paramilitary
recruits at a training center in northwestern Pakistan, killing at
least 80 people. And in New York City on Wednesday two individuals were
arrested with a hand grenade, three semiautomatic pistols, 150 rounds
of ammunition, and intentions to blow up a synagogue.
The fight against terror is ongoing, and because of the tireless work
of our intelligence agencies, we have not had a single deadly act of
terror perpetrated on U.S. soil since 9/11. Our neighbors abroad have,
unfortunately, not fared as well, as the attacks in Pakistan remind us.
There is a reason for this, and it is the professionalism,
patriotism, and perseverance of the professionals in our intelligence
services. I again commend them for a job well done in bringing Osama
bin Laden to justice, and wish them godspeed as they continue to
protect our Nation.
Mr. WOLF. Mr. Chair, I rise in strong support of this amendment to
recognize the remarkable work done by Federal employees in the
intelligence community and by our Federal law enforcement officers.
Their tireless work over the last 10 years led to finding Osama bin
Laden and the raids on his compound which resulted in his death--an
extraordinary victory in the War on Terror.
This important victory has come at a great cost to the brave men and
women in our intelligence community and Federal law enforcement
communities and their families. The first American killed in
Afghanistan after 9/11, Mike Spann, was a CIA agent and a constituent
from my congressional district. In January 2010, I attended funerals
for some of the seven CIA agents who were killed by a Taliban suicide
bomber at Forward Operating Base Chapman near the Afghanistan-Pakistan
border.
As we recognize this important victory, we must also remember those
Federal employees in our intelligence and Federal law agencies who
continue to risk their lives every day on the front lines side by side
with our Armed Forces in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other fronts in the
Global War on Terror. The American people appreciate their sacrifice
and tireless work to protect our country.
Mr. GRIMM. Mr. Chair, I rise today to offer an amendment honoring the
brave members of the intelligence community, military and civilian, for
their role in the mission that killed Osama bin Laden on May 1st, 2011.
On September 11th, 2001, Osama bin Laden and members of his terrorist
network struck at the heart of our Nation, carrying out attacks that
took the lives of nearly 3,000 innocent Americans in New York, Virginia
and Pennsylvania.
Of those killed, 2,752 were in my hometown of New York City,
including over 400 Firefighters, Police Officers and First Responders.
The largest percentage of these Americans, and their families, called
my district of Staten Island and Brooklyn home.
So I have good reason to stand here today and congratulate the men
and women of our intelligence community for the role they played in
locating and killing Osama bin Laden, a man who was the embodiment of
evil and oppression.
To this day the wounds of 9/11 still run deep within all our
communities: every night in my district, families sit down to dinner at
tables with empty chairs and children grow up without their parents.
I stand before you today to give voice to all those who demanded
justice. I speak for them when I express our profound gratitude to the
members of our intelligence community for their commitment to making
sure Osama bin Laden received the proper punishment he was long
overdue.
The result of over 10 years of hard work and dedication, this
historic operation was truly a team effort and an achievement shared by
the members of every intelligence agency and our Armed Forces.
But we must remember those who put the pieces together to make this
possible. Intelligence gathered from detainees played an important role
in the successful takedown of bin Laden. While we're all congratulating
the CIA and everyone else responsible for this victory, we must
recognize that behind the scenes the Department of Justice is still
considering prosecution of CIA interrogators who most likely gathered
pieces of the important information that helped us find bin Laden,
using techniques that were authorized by the Department of Justice, 9
years earlier. You can't have it both ways.
The members of America's intelligence community are faceless warriors
whose heroic accomplishments rarely see the light of day. They deserve
our undying gratitude for their role in this extraordinary mission and
deserve our praise, not prosecution.
With mission and purpose, they have reaffirmed America's commitment
to follow those who wish to do us harm to the ends of the earth in the
pursuit of justice. After the attacks of 9/11 the American people have
demanded nothing less, and I am proud to commend them on a job well
done.

Messrs. FRANKS of Arizona and BILBRAY changed their vote from ``no''
to ``aye.''
So the amendment was agreed to.
The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
(By unanimous consent, Mr. Reichert was allowed to speak out of
order.)
Law Enforcement Memorial Week
Mr. REICHERT. Mr. Chairman and Members of this great body, this week
is Law Enforcement Memorial Week. We have thousands of police officers
from across the Nation here in Washington, D.C., to honor those fallen
officers of last year and years before.
Last year we lost 156 police officers who were killed in the line of
duty protecting each and every one of us. This year we are on track to
beat that record, unfortunately. Sixty-eight police officers have
already been killed. I stand today to have all of you recognize their
sacrifice and the families who have survived and the police officers
who continue marching on.
I yield to the gentleman from New York.
Mr. WEINER. I thank the sheriff for yielding.
When we lay down at night to sleep and we kiss our children to bed
and we thank God for the country we live in and pray for good things
for the day ahead, we know that whether we're in a small town with one
sheriff or a police department like New York City that has over 38,000,
that somewhere there are men and women who are out
[[Page H3291]]
there protecting us. And unfortunately, as the sheriff points out,
sometimes they don't come home. This is the time of year that we join
together to pay tribute to them.
We know as we stand here today that we do all we can to give them the
tools to do their job, but at the end of the day, they are out there
every single day. Rarely does someone stop a police officer and thank
them because their car didn't get stolen, or their house wasn't
burglarized, or they woke up in the morning and their home was safe,
but this is the time of year we recognize that all of them are prepared
to make sacrifices for us, and we should join in paying tribute to
them.
Mr. REICHERT. If we may have a moment of silence.
The Acting CHAIR. Will all Members and guests in the gallery please
rise and observe a moment of silence.
Amendment No. 9 Offered by Mr. Reed
The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, 5-minute voting will continue.
There was no objection.
The Acting CHAIR. The unfinished business is the demand for a
recorded vote on the amendment offered by the gentleman from New York
(Mr. Reed) on which further proceedings were postponed and on which the
ayes prevailed by voice vote.
The Clerk will redesignate the amendment.
The Clerk redesignated the amendment.

The Acting CHAIR. Under the rule, the Committee rises.
Accordingly, the Committee rose; and the Speaker pro tempore (Mr.
Bishop of Utah) having assumed the chair, Mr. Latham, Acting Chair of
the Committee of the Whole House on the state of the Union, reported

The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under the rule, the previous question is
ordered.
Is a separate vote demanded on any amendment to the amendment

read the third time.
{time} 1040
Motion to Recommit
Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, I have a motion to recommit at the desk.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is the gentleman opposed to the bill?
Mr. NADLER. I am opposed in its current form.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to
recommit.
The Clerk read as follows:
Mr. Nadler moves to recommit the bill, H.R. 754, to the
Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence with instructions
to report the same back to the House forthwith with the
following amendment:
At the end of title III, add the following new section:
[[Page H3292]]
SEC. 304. PRIORITIZATION OF FUNDING TO COMBAT TERRORISTS.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) Under the leadership and direction of President Barack
Obama, the intelligence community performed with exceptional
bravery, commitment, and professionalism in the pursuit of
Osama bin Laden, who was killed on May 1, 2011, by the Naval
Special Warfare Development Group.
(2) The tremendous dedication and personal sacrifice of the
anonymous men and women of the intelligence community over
the course of nearly two decades, including under the
leadership of former Presidents George W. Bush and Bill
Clinton, finally brought a measure of justice and relief to
the families and friends of those who lost their lives on
September 11, 2001, and those killed around the world in al
Qaeda-sponsored attacks.
(3) Director of the Central Intelligence Agency Leon
Panetta, the Naval Special Warfare Development Group, and all
those involved in the intelligence operation against bin
Laden and in ongoing intelligence-related counterterrorism
operations are to be commended for their vigilance in
protecting the United States.
(4) The death of bin Laden marks the most significant
achievement to date in the efforts of the intelligence
community to defeat al Qaeda, but the al Qaeda network and
its affiliates still pose a critical threat to the national
security of the United States and must be pursued.
(b) Prioritization of Funding.--In obligating and expending
funds authorized to be appropriated in this Act, the head of
each element of the intelligence community shall place the
highest priority on funding activities that will contribute
to the continued disruption, dismantlement, and defeat of
remaining al Qaeda terrorists and affiliated organizations
that threaten the national security of the United States.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from New York is recognized
for 5 minutes in support of his motion.
Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, on September 11, 2001, Osama bin Laden
murdered almost 3,000 Americans in cold blood. As the House Member
representing Ground Zero, many of these innocent men, women, and
children were my constituents and my friends. Words cannot do justice
to the toll taken by this mass murderer. Of course, the attack on
September 11 was part of a war Osama bin Laden and his terrorist
organization al Qaeda had declared long ago and waged against the
United States for years.
After September 11, we vowed as a nation to wage war against al Qaeda
and in particular to bring Osama bin Laden to justice. When President
Obama made his dramatic announcement almost 2 weeks ago that American
troops had killed bin Laden, we knew that our country had finally
fulfilled that part of the promise.
While I supported and we passed an amendment today to commend our
intelligence community for their role in eliminating bin Laden, I stand
by my earlier statement that it was inadequate. This motion to
recommit, which I am offering with Ms. Jackson Lee and Mr. Ellison,
properly honors all those responsible. It appropriately commends
everyone involved in the long road we took to bring bin Laden to
justice--President Obama, President Bush, President Clinton, our Navy
SEALs, and our intelligence community.
The death of Osama bin Laden was a triumphant victory, but our work
is not done. This final amendment reminds us that we cannot rest on our
laurels. The threat of al Qaeda remains real and continuing. That is
why in this final amendment we make clear to our intelligence community
that the highest priority for funding in this bill is the disruption,
dismantlement, and defeat of al Qaeda. We must focus on the materials
captured from bin Laden's compound so we can stop them from striking
again. I urge my colleagues to join us to ensure that we continue to do
all we can to avoid another 9/11.
In closing, I want to state my hope that we have a bipartisan show of
support for this final amendment. Commending those who worked so hard
to bring justice to bin Laden and recognizing our number one
intelligence priority is the defeat of al Qaeda should be expressions
that can be supported across the political spectrum.
I yield to a cosponsor of the amendment, the gentleman from
Minnesota.
Mr. ELLISON. I urge all Members to join in supporting this very
important motion to recommit.
We have seen a great victory for our country, and yet we have
suffered a tremendous loss, 3,000 of our countrymen lost because of al
Qaeda and al Qaedaism and their belief system. But you know what? They
have wreaked havoc all across this world. Whether it is Tanzania or
whether it is Nairobi, they have brought murder and destruction across
the globe. Even in Pakistan, 80 dead just recently. So we have got to
make sure they are the priority, they are the focus, so we can rid the
world of this pernicious, evil philosophy that has caused so much harm
to so many.
Mr. NADLER. I now yield to another cosponsor of the amendment, the
gentlelady from Texas.
Ms. JACKSON LEE of Texas. I thank the gentleman.
I rise to support this motion to recommit.
I introduced H. Res. 240, and 50 of you supported it, because we
believe that all of those involved should be thanked, that all of
America should be thanked. So many of us remember standing on those
steps and singing ``God Bless America,'' singing it loudly. As others
in America sang and joined together, we were not to be daunted.
And, yes, this particular resolution thanks President Clinton and
President Bush. It talks about the bravery and the courage. And it also
acknowledges President Obama calling and directing the order and making
sure that all of our resources were used. And it also shows that our
Navy SEALs, in spite of the loss of life of so many soldiers, our Navy
SEALs came back alive and they captured Osama bin Laden.
Isn't it important to make the statement that the prioritization of
our intelligence community should be focused on getting rid of al
Qaeda, disrupting them and those affiliated? Vote for this motion to
recommit because it does, in fact, provide the opportunity to thank
everyone, and it says again, God bless America.
Mr. Chair, as a Senior Member of the Judiciary Committee and
Committee on Homeland Security, I want to make sure that this Chamber
fully recognizes and acknowledges the exemplary bravery, courage, and
patriotism demonstrated by the Special Operations Command, the Naval
Special Warfare Development Group, the intelligence community, and
President Barack H. Obama for successfully bringing Osama bin Ladan to
justice for acts of terrorism committed against the United States on
September 11, 2001.
This is a Bipartisan, American issue. We have a rare opportunity to
give some measure of relief to all those victims of the 911 tragedy and
to acknowledge the efforts to bring Osama bin Laden to justice that
spanned three Presidential Administrations beginning with the efforts
of President Bill Clinton's Administration, continuing with the efforts
of President George W. Bush's Administration which all set the stage
for President Obama to move with swiftness, decisiveness and leadership
to finally bring Osama bin Laden to justice.
We must be mindful that this does not end our efforts to protect
America from terrorist threats like that of Al Qaeda. We still have
much to do in that effort, but we should not miss this historic
opportunity to thank three Presidents, our intelligence community and
our military for their 10 year of persistence and their successful
mission to bring the Terrorist Osama bin Laden.
Today, a large number of lives were lost in Pakistan; an al Qaeda
associated organization attacked innocent persons. We must continue to
stamp out this violence.
So, I urge my colleagues to join me in voting for the motion to
recommit.
Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, in closing, I again want to stress that this
amendment commends all those who worked so hard to bring justice to bin
Laden and recognizes that our number one intelligence priority is the
defeat of al Qaeda. It should get bipartisan support. A very similar
resolution passed the Senate 97-0. I ask for support.
I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. ROGERS of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to the
motion to recommit.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes.
Mr. ROGERS of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, it's laudable that they would
commend the men and women of the intelligence community. We certainly
thank them for that. We just did that a few minutes ago. That would
certainly qualify for the department of redundancy as we would move
forward.
The one that I find mystifying, we came so close, so close, to
finally making this a bipartisan product. So the
[[Page H3293]]
first part was great. You said thank you very much to the folks and hid
behind the great work of the men and women of the intelligence
community. But then you blow up the entire intelligence bill by
prioritizing of funding.
Two things that does. One, it blows up the work, the framework.
There's a priority framework in the intelligence community that sets
these standards and tells the intelligence community, here are your
priorities, given place, given region, given resources. That happens
already. So you basically say, well, we don't believe that you ought to
be doing that. We should be doing that. Wrong answer.
The second part of it is we have a classified annex and it talks
about very important investments that we in a bipartisan way have
worked to get to--code breaking, cybersecurity. What you are saying is
cybersecurity isn't as important. You think this is more important.
That is not for us to determine.
We just went through months and months of work to tell the
intelligence community to put the classified annex together to say,
here are the intelligence priorities as we go forward. This bill is
intended to gut the work of the last few months that we have just done
in a bipartisan way.
I tell you, it's a little frustrating knowing that we came that
close, Mr. Speaker, to getting a bipartisan product that represents the
values of the intelligence community, the resources that they need,
and, yes, says thank you to the men and women who will never be known
for the work they do to keep America safe.
I recommend a strong rejection of this amendment.
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 noes appeared to have it.
Recorded Vote
Mr. NADLER. 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.
