  So the amendment was rejected.
  The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
  Stated for:
  Mr. FILNER. Mr. Chair, on rollcall 353, I was away from the Capital 
region attending the Civil Rights Freedom Riders' 50th Anniversary 
Celebration. Had I been present, I would have voted ``aye.''


                 Amendment No. 39 Offered by Mr. Flake

  The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 39 
printed in House Report 112-88.
  Mr. FLAKE. 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 subtitle H of title X, add the following:

     SEC. 1085. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING DEPLOYMENT OF NATIONAL 
                   GUARD TO SOUTHWESTERN BORDER OF UNITED STATES.

       It is the sense of the Congress that the deployment of 
     National Guard personnel (as defined in section 101(c) of 
     title 10, United States Code) along the southwestern border 
     of the United States for the purposes of assisting United 
     States Customs and Border Protection in securing the 
     international border between the United States and Mexico, 
     should continue through the end of fiscal year 2011.

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 276, the gentleman 
from Arizona (Mr. Flake) and a Member opposed each will control 5 
minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Arizona.
  Mr. FLAKE. This amendment would simply include sense of Congress 
language in the bill that would express that Congress supports 
extending the current deployment of National Guard troops on the border 
through the rest of the fiscal year.
  As many are aware, in October of last year about 1,200 National Guard 
troops were deployed along the southwestern border. According to the 
Department of Homeland Security, the presence of National Guard troops 
is helping to bridge the gap until we train enough border agents to 
patrol the rest of the border as authorized by Congress.
  To be more specific, the Governor of Arizona recently indicated that 
under this deployment, the Arizona National Guard has been involved in 
approximately 19,000 observations, 10,000 apprehension assists, 235 
drug seizure assists involving about 18 tons of marijuana.
  However, unless action is taken, this deployment will end at the end 
of next month when troops will be coming off the border; they will be 
coming off the border likely before that as well.
  In Arizona, those in the Yuma sector will tell you that the presence 
of National Guard troops has been instrumental in us achieving actually 
operational control, which means that if an illegal alien crosses the 
border in the Yuma sector, you have a reasonable expectation of 
catching him or her.
  So we need that there to maintain operational control, and we also 
need that presence in the Tucson sector where we have something far 
from operational control. It would be a step backwards in the Tucson 
sector which continues to deal with human smuggling and drug smuggling.
  Whether we like it or not, the southwestern border is not secure. In 
February of this year, the GAO testified that ``the Border Patrol 
reported achieving varying levels of operational control--873, 44 
percent, of nearly 2,000 southwest border miles by the end of fiscal 
year 2010.''

                              {time}  1920

  So we have a long ways to go, and we certainly need these National 
Guard troops there. It is not the time to do that. When you talk 
particularly with the local ranchers, farmers and residents along the 
border who regularly come in contact with groups coming across the 
border, many times armed and many times carrying drugs, they certainly 
support the stay of the National Guard. When I talk to the ranchers, 
they have particular praise for the actions of the National Guard 
there. They've done a good job. So, until we can have operational 
control of more of the border, we've got to ensure that these National 
Guard troops stay.
  My understanding is that the President now supports keeping them 
there if we can find the resources to do so.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. I rise to claim time in opposition, although 
I am not in opposition to the amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, the gentleman is recognized for 
5 minutes.
  There was no objection.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. I just want to express my support for the 
amendment.
  Certainly, border security continues to be a challenge and a 
priority. The National Guard troops are helping. Now, in a bipartisan 
way, there is agreement on that, so I support Mr. Flake's amendment, 
and I urge the body to support it as well.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the 
gentleman from Arizona (Mr. Flake).
  The amendment was agreed to.


                 Amendment No. 40 Offered by Mr. Flake

  The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 40 
printed in House Report 112-88.
  Mr. FLAKE. 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 subtitle I of title X, insert the following:

     SEC. 1099C. CLOSING OF NATIONAL DRUG INTELLIGENCE CENTER.

       Section 9078 of the Department of Defense Appropriations 
     Act, 1993 (Public Law 102-396; 106 Stat. 1919) is amended by 
     striking ``There is established'' and all that follows 
     through ``That section 8083'' and inserting ``Section 8083''.

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 276, the gentleman 
from Arizona (Mr. Flake) and a Member opposed each will control 5 
minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Arizona.
  Mr. FLAKE. Mr. Chairman, this amendment is straightforward. It simply 
seeks to repeal the authorization for the National Drug Intelligence 
Center which was included in the 1993 Defense Appropriations Act.
  The NDIC is an entity that has received hundreds of millions of 
taxpayer dollars over the years. This is despite steady criticism that 
it has been ineffective at accomplishing its mission. This is a mission 
that has been described as duplicative and ought to be realigned 
elsewhere.
  The Wall Street Journal noted on January 31, ``Conservatives have 
argued the center is a waste of taxpayer money, and critics argue it 
has never fulfilled its promise to provide high-quality analysis of 
drug networks.''
  I have come to this floor many times, seeking to eliminate funding or 
to otherwise close the NDIC. However, reducing funding or ending 
funding for the NDIC has been far from a solo mission. Earlier this 
year, we voted in the CR debate to end funding for the NDIC.
  According to Citizens Against Government Waste, President Bush 
proposed the termination of the NDIC in budget requests for fiscal 
years 2006, 2007 and 2008.
  In 2006, a spokesman for the Department of Justice asserted that the 
resources of the NDIC should be ``realigned to support priority 
counterterrorism and national security initiatives.''
  Even the current administration's Deputy Attorney General James Cole 
said that many of the center's functions can be performed elsewhere, as 
reported in ``CQ Today'' on February 14 of this year.
  As I mentioned, during consideration of H.R. 1, 262 Members of this 
body voiced their opposition to the NDIC when they voted in favor of an 
amendment that I offered to strike funding in its entirety for fiscal 
year 2011. Yet the NDIC still received more than $34 million in fiscal 
year 2011, and stands to receive more in fiscal year 2012 unless we do 
something to stop it.
  I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. CRITZ. I rise in opposition to the amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Pennsylvania is recognized for 5 
minutes.
  Mr. CRITZ. Mr. Chairman, right now, as we discuss the NDIC once 
again, I am concerned for the folks who are working at the NDIC, doing 
the great work, and am worried about them as their work and their jobs 
are, again, turned into a political football.

[[Page H3639]]

  As the gentleman from Arizona has said, this is obviously not the 
first time that he has offered amendments or has offered legislation to 
close the NDIC. I am a reasonable human being, and at the vote that he 
referenced earlier this year, I sent Mr. Flake a note on February 22, 
asking him for the information that he was just citing. I want to do 
good things for this country, and if there had been duplicative 
functions and if the NDIC had not been doing the job that they tell me, 
I wanted to see that information. I did not receive any response to 
that February 22 information, so I then had my staff do research.
  I found that some of the information being referenced was from a GAO 
report from April 1993. Some of the personal testimonies against the 
NDIC were from a gentleman who was fired and from another man who 
hadn't worked there for 16 years.
  I then quantified/qualified what NDIC does, and noted that they are 
the only strategic drug threat assessment organization in the country. 
Many times, they're compared to the El Paso Intelligence Center, EPIC, 
which does tactical, ``tactical'' meaning that they have a 24-hour 
watch system that is prepared to respond quickly to requests from law 
enforcement. Many times, they're talked about as the ``fusion 
centers.'' Well, the fusion centers are operational. They support 
multi-jurisdictional investigations.

  The NDIC is the only strategic drug intelligence center in the 
country. They offer strategic drug threat assessments, money laundering 
reporting, issue-based intelligence reports, support to the 
intelligence community and senior policymakers. They also have a 
product called DOMEX, Document and Media Exploitation Support.
  What's interesting is that the prior amendment talked about the 
borders of Arizona and how important it was to secure them. DOMEX and 
the NDIC also have operations in Arizona, and according to the Phoenix 
DEA, they are doing an incredible job assisting and enhancing the 
Strike Force investigations being conducted here in Arizona.
  The Arizona Attorney General's Office recently sent a letter to NDIC, 
stating, ``I wish to take this opportunity to express the appreciation 
of this office for all of the work NDIC has done in connection with the 
investigation of money laundering.''
  Now, when talking about money laundering and the work the NDIC is 
doing, the money that is made illicitly through drugs also finds its 
way into illicit activity and terrorism as well, so the NDIC serves as 
the center where all the information comes in. They produce the reports 
and then ship them out to all the agencies. They eliminate redundancy. 
That's their whole mission.
  In fact, on March 31 of this year, Donna Bucella, Assistant 
Commissioner of Office of Intelligence and Operations Coordination, 
testified before a Senate committee, and cited NDIC's participation in 
a weekly briefing, which includes over 290 participants, talking about 
the illicit drug trafficking across the world. They produce eight 
analytical mapping products each week that are a key centerpiece of the 
briefings in the teleconference.
  In their budget request, the Department of Justice says that the NDIC 
``facilitates the development of sound strategies, initiatives, 
policies, and regulations to counter threats, and promotes effective, 
intelligence-driven decision-making in support of the Attorney 
General's priorities.''
  The NDIC is not duplicative. They've proven it time and time again. 
It is time we stopped rehashing information from the mid-1990s to 
eliminate this center.
  Mr. Chairman, I yield the balance of my time to the gentleman from 
New York (Mr. Nadler), a member of the Judiciary Committee.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman is recognized for 30 seconds.
  Mr. NADLER. Mr. Chairman, nowhere in this bill is the National Drug 
Intelligence Center either authorized or funded at all. That was 
changed a few years ago. It used to be funded from DOD. It's now 
entirely funded and authorized in the Department of Justice. This 
amendment has no business in this bill. It ought to be in the 
authorization or in, perhaps, the appropriations bill for the 
Department of Justice.
  The only reason that the parliamentarian might rule this germane is 
that the rule waives all points of order. Yet this should not be voted 
on. This should not be considered in this bill. It has nothing to do 
with this bill. It's authorized and appropriated in the Department of 
Justice bill.

                              {time}  1930

  Mr. FLAKE. May I inquire as to the time remaining?
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Arizona has 3 minutes remaining.
  Mr. FLAKE. I yield myself the balance of my time.
  Let me just say that two successive administrations, one Republican, 
one Democrat, have either called for eliminating or severely reducing 
the funding that goes to the NDIC because, as we have heard before, the 
programs are duplicative, wasteful. And there is no doubt that some 
good work goes on there. Nobody is disputing that. But there is also 
good work that goes on at the ONDCP or the DEA or other drug 
enforcement agencies or other agencies that have that as part of their 
portfolio.
  That's the problem here. For years and years, we have been funding 
programs just because a particular powerful Member of this body or 
somebody sought an earmark or several earmarks or earmarks over a 
series of years to fund particular institutions or programs. That's 
what we have here. That's the legacy we are left with here. And we are 
simply trying to say enough is enough. We have got to save money 
somewhere. And if we can't do it with a program like this, where can we 
do it? When are we going to get serious about this debt and deficit 
that we have?
  So that's what we're doing here. The reason we're doing it on this is 
because we're seeking to strike authorization. As we know, if we don't 
have authorization for a program, it's more difficult for that program 
to be funded. Believe me, we will be back in the appropriations process 
to go after this funding as well, but we thought we ought to go here. 
This was ruled in order. It is germane to the bill. And that's why we 
are here.
  Let me just stress again, we have to get serious about this fiscal 
situation we are in. If we can't get serious about a program like this 
that's been called duplicative and wasteful, and two successive 
administrations, one Republican, one Democratic, have urged to either 
eliminate or severely reduce funding for, and yet Congress keeps coming 
back and providing far more money than the administration even wants 
for this because they know there are other programs, other agencies, 
other institutions that are doing this same work, if we can't save 
money here, I don't know where we're going to save it, Mr. Chairman.
  So I would urge adoption of the amendment. Let's do something here 
for the taxpayer and something for our defense and intelligence and our 
antidrug efforts by making sure that programs that are not effective 
end and that funding be placed elsewhere.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the 
gentleman from Arizona (Mr. Flake).
  The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes 
appeared to have it.
  Mr. CRITZ. Mr. Chairman, I demand a recorded vote.
  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further 
proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Arizona will 
be postponed.


               Amendment No. 41 Offered by Ms. Schakowsky

  The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 41 
printed in House Report 112-88.
  Ms. SCHAKOWSKY. I would like to speak in favor of the amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       At the end of subtitle F of title X, add the following new 
     section:

     SEC. 1068. FREEZE IN BUDGET OF DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE UNTIL 
                   UNQUALIFIED AUDIT OPINIONS ACHIEVED.

       (a) Freeze.--
       (1) In general.--Unless and until the requirement specified 
     in paragraph (2) is met for the entire Department of Defense, 
     except as provided in subsection (b), the aggregate

[[Page H3640]]

     amount of funds appropriated or otherwise made available for 
     military functions administered by the Department of Defense 
     (other than the functions excluded by subsection (c)) for a 
     fiscal year may not exceed--
       (A) in the case of fiscal year 2012, the aggregate amount 
     of funds appropriated or otherwise made available for 
     military functions administered by the Department of Defense 
     (other than the functions excluded by subsection (b)) for 
     fiscal year 2011; and
       (B) in each fiscal year after fiscal year 2012, the 
     aggregate amount of funds appropriated or otherwise made 
     available for such functions for the previous fiscal year.
       (2) Requirement for unqualified audit opinion.--The 
     requirement of this paragraph is that the Department of 
     Defense (including every major Pentagon component and every 
     major defense acquisition program of the Department) is 
     certified by the Inspector General of the Department of 
     Defense or an independent public accountant as achieving an 
     unqualified audit opinion.
       (b) Waiver.--The President may waive subsection (a) with 
     respect to a component or program of the Department if the 
     President certifies that applying the subsection to that 
     component or program would harm national security or members 
     of the Armed Forces who are in combat.
       (c) Exclusion of Overseas Contingency Operations and 
     Military Personnel Pay and Benefits.--In determining the 
     aggregate amount of funds appropriated or otherwise made 
     available for military functions administered by the 
     Department of Defense for fiscal year 2012 or any subsequent 
     fiscal year for purposes of subsection (a), there shall be 
     excluded all amounts appropriated or otherwise made 
     available--
       (1) in any supplemental appropriations Act; or
       (2) in any general appropriations Acts for--
       (A) overseas contingency operations;
       (B) military personnel, reserve personnel, and National 
     Guard personnel accounts of the Department of Defense, 
     generally title I of the annual Department of Defense 
     appropriations Act; and
       (C) wounded warrior programs of the Department of Defense.

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 276, the gentlewoman 
from Illinois (Ms. Schakowsky) and a Member opposed each will control 5 
minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Illinois.
  Ms. SCHAKOWSKY. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself as much time as I may 
consume.
  For those who are interested in fiscal responsibility, this amendment 
would freeze Department of Defense spending until the Pentagon is able 
to pass an audit--able to pass an audit. This freeze could be waived by 
the President if it would harm our national security. And my amendment 
excludes spending for Wounded Warriors and defense personnel accounts 
as well as for overseas contingency operations.
  Though defense spending currently accounts for over 20 percent of our 
Federal budget, DOD remains one of the few Federal agencies unable to 
pass an independent audit. This leaves the Pentagon vulnerable to 
serious waste and fraud. A recent GAO review of selected major weapons 
systems found that $70 billion had been lost through waste, mainly due 
to ``poor management and execution problems.'' Tens of billions more 
have been paid to fraudulent contractors.
  I remember back in 2002, then-Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld admitted 
that he could not account for $2.3 trillion in Pentagon expenditures. 
For over two decades, the Pentagon has been under obligation to face an 
audit, and currently it must be auditable by September 2017. But recent 
status reports have raised serious concerns that this goal will not be 
met.
  Waste and fraud in the Pentagon have serious consequences, both for 
our fiscal stability and our national security. My amendment provides a 
real incentive for the Pentagon finally to pass an audit. It is 
irresponsible to continue what Secretary Gates has called the gusher of 
defense spending without ensuring that we know where taxpayer dollars 
are going.
  I believe this is a commonsense idea. It is also a bipartisan one. My 
amendment is very similar to a proposal that Senator Coburn made to the 
National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform on which I also 
served last year. It is a constitutional requirement that ``a regular 
statement and account of the receipts and expenditures of all public 
money shall be published from time to time.'' Well, these are very 
difficult financial times, and we're faced with difficult choices and 
the prospect of cutting critical government programs. This accounting 
of funds has become more important than ever, including the Pentagon.
  I yield 1 minute of my remaining time to the gentlewoman from 
California, Barbara Lee.
  Ms. LEE. Mr. Chair, I rise in strong support of this very commonsense 
amendment. And I want to thank my colleague, Congresswoman Jan 
Schakowsky, who has been such a strong leader on sensible and serious 
deficit reduction efforts.
  This amendment is very similar to an amendment that I submitted to 
Rules. And I want to thank Congresswoman Schakowsky for continuing to 
move this forward, because it is just extremely important that the 
financial statements of the Defense Department be audited.
  Where are our defense dollars going? We have no idea. Sadly, the 
Department of Defense Inspector General and the GAO have documented 
time and time again the Department's inability to answer this very 
basic question. Some of my colleagues may make the argument the 
Department of Defense is making so much progress on this issue in 
response to congressional engagement requiring the records to be 
audited by September 2017, but this is too late. Billions of dollars 
are going out of the door each month.
  The American people deserve to know where our defense dollars are 
going. There can be no more blank checks and certainly no blank 
checkbook to be handed over to any President.
  I thank the gentlelady for yielding and for this very commonsense 
amendment.
  Mr. FORBES. Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to the amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Virginia is recognized for 5 
minutes.
  Mr. FORBES. Mr. Chairman, first of all, I want to applaud the 
gentleladies for the amendment they have brought forward because they 
have hit a true problem with the Department of Defense. There is a 
statute requiring that the Department of Defense audit their financial 
records, and they have failed do that. They didn't do it in 2007, 
didn't do it in 2008, didn't do it in 2009, didn't do it in 2010. They 
are not going to do it this year. But this is part of a bigger problem.
  Mr. Chairman, one of the things that we have got to do for the 
national defense of this country, first of all, is determine what the 
true threat assessment is without having budgetary influences. The 
independent panel that reviewed our QDR has said that they are very, 
very concerned that our QDR, our defense strategies, are dictated more 
by the budget than they are by risk assessments. And I am proud of the 
fact that the chairman and the ranking member have fought very hard to 
make sure in this bill they have moved us in that direction.
  Secondly, we've got to determine the true cost of defending the 
country based on those risk assessments. And thirdly, we've got to 
determine what the risks are if we don't do it. And the fourth thing, 
as the gentlelady mentioned, we've got to know where our money is 
going, and right now we do not know that. But the unfortunate thing is 
this bill is just a bridge too far. It is a risky situation to begin 
cutting all of the funding from many of these operations and we are not 
cutting the missions.
  While I agree with the gentlelady's concern and think we need to work 
towards it, I am proud of the work that we have done in this committee 
this year to move that forward. I can assure the gentlelady we are 
going to continue to work to hold DOD's feet to the fire and to make 
sure they're accountable for the dollars they spend. The American 
taxpayers deserve that.
  But I hope we will reject this amendment because our men and women in 
uniform and the people of the United States also deserve to make sure 
we're doing everything possible to defend and protect this country, and 
I'm afraid this amendment would put that defense in jeopardy. For that 
reason, Mr. Chairman, I hope we will reject the amendment.
  I reserve the balance of my time.

                              {time}  1940

  The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Illinois has 1\1/2\ minutes 
remaining.
  Ms. SCHAKOWSKY. Mr. Chairman, it seems to me, since we agree, that 
the

[[Page H3641]]

problem is that the Pentagon has never explained where its money is 
going, and because there are waivers within this, that anything 
declared in need of national defense, and we certainly take care of our 
troops, will be excluded from the legislation, that it is time, 
finally. It's not just the last year, the year before, the year before 
that. It's been about 20 years before the Pentagon itself has explained 
where all the money goes.
  And being such a huge part of our budget, it seems like now would be 
a good time, particularly because there are so many open doors left in 
this so that our national security and our troops are in no way 
jeopardized by my bill. I would really appreciate all of us being able 
to work together to make sure that the taxpayers know where this huge 
amount of money is going. The time is long overdue.
  I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. FORBES. May I inquire as to how much time is remaining?
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Virginia has 3 minutes 
remaining.
  Mr. FORBES. Mr. Chairman, the gentlelady makes a good point, it is 
past time this happened, but this is a very risky thing to do.
  One of the things, these waivers are limited. The second thing is, 
it's very difficult for the President to come in and make sure he is 
making all the appropriate waivers. This could jeopardize monies that 
we are spending for training, money that we are spending for modeling 
and simulation to forecast risk assessments that may hit the United 
States and where they hit the United States.
  I think we need to be very, very careful before we come in with a 
sledge hammer and begin hitting all of this funding across the board, 
that we make sure that we recognize we have a problem. But the key for 
us, Mr. Chairman, is to make sure we are very, very deliberate and very 
careful about how we address that problem.
  I think we have done it in this bill. I think we have done it in a 
bipartisan manner. It was 60-1 in the bill, and I think, Mr. Chairman, 
I hope that we will reject this avenue because I don't think we can 
afford to just go in and carte blanche cut off all the funding, as much 
as I may wish we could do that. I think it's dangerous for the American 
people and for the defense of the country. I hope, once again, we will 
defeat the amendment.
  I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. SCHAKOWSKY. May I ask how much time remains?
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Illinois has 30 seconds 
remaining.
  Ms. SCHAKOWSKY. Vote ``yes.''
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. FORBES. I yield back the balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the 
gentlewoman from Illinois (Ms. Schakowsky).
  The amendment was rejected.


          Amendment No. 42 Offered by Mr. Smith of Washington

  The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 42 
printed in House Report 112-88.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. I have an amendment at the desk.
  Mr. McKEON. I ask unanimous consent that the debate time for 
consideration of amendment No. 42 be expanded by 10 minutes and that 
such time shall be equally divided and controlled by the gentleman from 
Washington (Mr. Smith) and myself.
  The Acting CHAIR. Is there objection to the request of the gentleman 
from California?
  There was no objection.
  The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       Page 456, line 13, insert before the period at the end the 
     following: ``, except for the purpose of prosecuting such 
     individual in a United States court''.
       Page 456, starting on line 14, strike subsection (b) and 
     insert the following:
       (b) Individual Described.--An individual described in this 
     subsection is an individual who is not a citizen of the 
     United States or a member of the Armed Forces.
       Page 456, after line 23, insert the following:
       (c) Transfer Limitation.--During fiscal year 2012, the 
     Secretary of Defense may not use any of the amounts 
     authorized to be appropriated in this Act or otherwise 
     available to the Department of Defense to transfer any 
     individual described in subsection (b) to the United States, 
     its territories, or possessions, until 45 days after the 
     President has submitted to the congressional defense 
     committees the plan described in subsection (d).
       (d) Comprehensive Plan Required.--The President shall 
     submit to the congressional defense committees a plan for the 
     disposition of each individual described in subsection (b) 
     who is proposed to be transferred to the United States, its 
     territories, or possessions. Such plan for each individual 
     shall include, at a minimum--
       (1) an assessment of the risk that the individual described 
     in subsection (b) poses to the national security of the 
     United States, its territories, or possessions;
       (2) a proposal for the disposition of each such individual;
       (3) the measures to be taken to mitigate any risks 
     described in paragraph (1);
       (4) the location or locations at which the individual will 
     be held under the proposal for disposition required by 
     paragraph (2);
       (5) the costs associated with executing the plan, including 
     technical and financial assistance required to be provided to 
     State and local law enforcement agencies, if necessary, to 
     carry out the plan;
       (6) a summary of the consultation required in subsection 
     (e); and
       (7) a certification by the Attorney General that under the 
     plan the individual poses little or no security risk to the 
     United States, its territories, or possessions.
       (e) Consultation Required.--The President shall consult 
     with the chief executive of the State, the District of 
     Columbia, or the territory or possession of the United States 
     to which the disposition in subsection (d)(2) includes 
     transfer to that State, District of Columbia, or territory or 
     possession.

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 276, and the previous 
order, the gentleman from Washington (Mr. Smith) and a Member opposed 
each will control 10 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Washington.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I 
may consume.
  This amendment has to do with whether or not to try anyone in 
Guantanamo or any non-U.S. citizen captured abroad going forward in 
Article 3 courts in the United States. The underlying legislation 
prohibits anyone currently at Guantanamo or anyone who would be brought 
there in the future and, for that matter, any non-U.S. citizen captured 
abroad from being tried in Article 3 courts.
  This really grew out of the larger debate over whether or not to 
close Guantanamo Bay. But one thing I want to make clear, you can 
support my amendment even if you believe that Guantanamo Bay should 
remain open. Now, I don't. I believe that we should close it, that we 
should handle those terrorists, whether we handle them by military 
commission, by Article 3 court, or by indefinite detention, that they 
should not be held at Guantanamo. But you can still hold Guantanamo Bay 
open and support my amendment.
  What my amendment says is we want to make sure that Article 3 courts 
are still a possibility for trying these terrorists. The main problem I 
have with the underlying bill is it takes that possibility off the 
table and requires either a military commission or indefinite 
detention, and I think that is a bad and dangerous policy.
  Now, we have to understand that we have already tried and convicted 
over 400 international terrorists in our Federal courts, in our Article 
3 courts. As we sit here right now, or as I stand here right now, we 
have over 300 convicted terrorists being held in prisons in the United 
States. There is no question that we can do this, no question that we 
can do it safely. By going in this bill and taking off the table the 
option of Article 3 courts, all we are doing is we are tying the hands 
of our Department of Justice and our President as they seek ways to 
bring terrorists to justice and take them off the battlefield.
  Right now we have over 170 inmates at Guantanamo Bay. We don't know 
what to do with a fair number of them for a variety of different 
reasons. That undermines our ability to fight the terrorism threat that 
we are trying to confront. It doesn't help it. So I ask simply that we 
give the President all the tools in his toolbox.
  I support military commissions. I support indefinite detention. In 
certain instances that's going to be necessary, but I also support our 
Article 3 courts that have over 200 years of history, that are some of 
the most respected courts in the world for their ability to bring swift 
and fair justice to all criminals.
  We should not undermine our President's ability to make use of those 
courts in prosecuting our fight against

[[Page H3642]]

the terrorists and, therefore, I urge you to support this amendment.
  I will add one thing, actually. In my amendment, if the President is 
going to bring people from Guantanamo Bay to be tried here in Article 3 
courts, he does have to notify Congress. He does have to establish that 
he feels that can be done in that particular case safely and fairly. It 
does require that. But I think more than anything it gives the 
President the option of Article 3 courts, which he needs in order to 
properly prosecute the war against terrorism.
  I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. McKEON. I rise in opposition to the amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Washington is recognized for 10 
minutes.
  Mr. McKEON. I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  My good friend and colleague, Ranking Member Smith, and I and our 
staffs and others have been working together for a long time to try to 
come to agreement, and we have come to agreement on many points of this 
bill, but there are a few little differences here.
  His amendment would be a change and a weakening of existing law 
regarding restrictions relating to Guantanamo detainees. The National 
Defense Authorization Act of the year 2011, last year, prohibited the 
transfer of Guantanamo detainees to the United States, prohibited 
certain detainee transfers to countries overseas and prohibited the 
construction or modification of facilities in the United States to 
house Guantanamo detainees. Ranking Member Smith amendment's would 
relax all of these restrictions. His amendment would allow Guantanamo 
detainees and other detainees to be transferred to the United States to 
face prosecution.
  I share his goal of seeking justice for victims of terrorism. 
However, I disagree that it's necessary to bring detainees to the 
United States to do so.
  I feel strongly that many Guantanamo detainees and other law of war 
detainees overseas should be prosecuted in the military commission 
system instead of bringing them into the United States. We currently 
have multimillion-dollar facilities ready to try detainees for their 
war crimes at Guantanamo that are sitting empty.
  Additionally, Guantanamo detainees who already have habeas protection 
would likely be granted further constitutional rights if brought onto 
U.S. soil. I strongly oppose Ranking Member Smith's amendment. There is 
no need to bring Guantanamo or other law of war detainees into the 
United States.
  And with our increasing concerns relating to the recidivist rates and 
activities of Guantanamo detainees, there is also no reason to loosen 
restrictions on transferring detainees overseas to countries where they 
are likely to return to the fight and threaten our men and women in 
uniform, U.S. citizens, or the U.S. homeland.
  I strongly oppose this amendment.
  I reserve the balance of my time.

                              {time}  1950

  Mr. SMITH of Washington. I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from 
Rhode Island (Mr. Langevin).
  (Mr. LANGEVIN asked and was given permission to revise and extend his 
remarks).
  Mr. LANGEVIN. I thank the gentleman for yielding.
  Mr. Chairman, I rise today in support of the amendment offered by my 
colleague and the ranking member, Mr. Smith of Washington, to strike 
language in the bill concerning the transfer of detainees to U.S. soil 
for prosecution.
  Mr. Chairman, simply put, this amendment does not require that 
detainees be transferred to U.S. soil. It simply allows a range of 
options for prosecution of terror suspects and supports our most sacred 
national values.
  As currently written, this legislation ties our hands at a crucial 
time in Gitmo's history. It's important to note that, as of today, over 
400 terrorism convictions have occurred in U.S. Federal courts since 9/
11. Prosecuting terrorists in the U.S. is just one of many options, 
including military commissions and detainee transfers, which must be 
available in order to bring these terrorists to justice.
  Now, a ``yes'' vote for the amendment is a vote for our national 
values, for due process, and for leaving all our prosecutorial options 
on the table when dealing with the world's most hardened terrorists.
  Again, I want to thank the gentleman from Washington for his 
thoughtful amendment. Again, this does not require that detainees be 
transferred to U.S. soil. It just leaves that potential option on the 
table if the President so deems that that would be an option that 
should be exercised.
  Mr. McKEON. I yield 2 minutes to my friend and colleague, the 
gentleman from Texas (Mr. Thornberry).
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I think the bottom line here is that 
the American people have made their views on this subject quite clear, 
and their views are they do not want Guantanamo terrorists brought here 
to our homeland. And that view has been reflected in legislation that 
was passed even in an overwhelmingly Democratic Congress during the 
last term.
  And I would suggest that there are good reasons that the American 
people feel that way, that they don't want terrorists brought here to 
our homeland. Part of that reason, I would suggest, is that the 
administration has not done a lot to promote confidence in its ability 
to handle these situations. They come up with one plan, they get 
criticism, and they back off. It's back and forth. And so we have had 
needless delays ever since this administration has been in office 
because, frankly, they have been inept when it comes to having a plan 
that deals with terrorists that the American people can trust.
  Now, maybe if we had a different history there could be some greater 
confidence in giving greater options, as the gentleman wants to do, or 
to having some other possibilities. But we cannot rewrite history, and 
the trust is simply not there.
  Instead, what we have are some rather petulant comments by the 
Attorney General saying that, well, they still want to close Guantanamo 
and they still want to try them in Article 3 courts even though the law 
is the other way and the opinion of the American people is clearly the 
other way. So I believe that the current law that we had in last year's 
bill should be the same policy for next year.

  I do think it's important to point out that this only applies to the 
coming fiscal year. This is not a forever thing. But this does continue 
the ban on bringing terrorists here to our homeland for the coming 
fiscal year. If you're given the history of where we've been and where 
we are, that's what the American people want.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the 
gentleman from New York (Mr. Nadler).
  Mr. NADLER. I thank the gentleman for yielding.
  Mr. Chairman, this amendment is not about closing Guantanamo. As was 
said before, it does not demand the closing of Guantanamo. It does say 
that detainees, whether they're held at Guantanamo or held somewhere 
else, can come to the United States if the administration decides that 
they should be tried in a regular court or can be tried in the military 
court at Guantanamo or presumably even in a military court somewhere 
else.
  We keep talking about terrorists. Some of these people are 
terrorists. Some are accused of being terrorists and are not. Some were 
simply picked up by some rival group in Afghanistan and sold for $5,000 
for a bounty to American troops and labeled as terrorists. And it may 
be that the prosecuting authorities, that the military authorities 
decide that it will be better justice or for the convenience of the 
Armed Forces to have this person tried in a regular court. Now, we know 
that the regular courts have convicted 470, I think, terrorists; 
whereas, the military courts have convicted all of five or six.
  We also know that the statutory underpinnings of the military courts 
are under challenge and will be under challenge in front of the courts 
and that anyone convicted there is probably going to go for years 
before that conviction is affirmed by the Supreme Court. So it may very 
well be that in some or many cases or a few cases it makes sense from 
justice and from operational efficiency to try people in a regular 
court as we have done since the Declaration of Independence.
  That's what the gentleman's amendment does. It gives the executive

[[Page H3643]]

branch the power, the discretion, and the authority to make intelligent 
decisions. We can all agree or disagree whether the current or next 
administration makes intelligent decisions. That's what political 
debate is about. But we shouldn't tie their hands. We should let them 
use military tribunals; although, I hope they do that very sparingly. 
We should let them use Article 3 courts as American tradition and 
justice would normally dictate, and we should stand on our Constitution 
and our traditions of due process. And, therefore, I support the 
amendment.
  Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to my friend and 
colleague, the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Schilling).
  Mr. SCHILLING. Thank you, Chairman.
  I oppose this amendment for a very simple but serious reason. This 
amendment seeks to loosen the prohibition on detainee transfers from 
Guantanamo into the United States. I must strongly oppose it.
  The amendment would permit the President to commence detainee 
transfers merely by producing a plan and receiving certification from 
the Attorney General. It gives Congress no authority to alter or 
disapprove such a plan once submitted. This is fundamentally no 
different from the state of affairs that existed in 2009 when President 
Obama and Attorney General Holder created a fiasco by trying to bring 
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed to New York for trial.
  By seeking to strike section 1037, this amendment would also pave the 
way for transfer of detainees to military bases inside of the United 
States prior to prosecution or civilian facilities like Thompson 
prison, which is in my home State of Illinois.
  There is no reason to bring detainees to the United States of 
America. I have been to Guantanamo, and the detention facilities there 
are state-of-the-art facilities. They are safe and humane.
  I want to thank our soldiers who stand guard day and night with the 
worst of the worst.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chair, I yield 2 minutes to the 
gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Andrews).
  (Mr. ANDREWS asked and was given permission to revise and extend his 
remarks.)
  Mr. ANDREWS. Mr. Chairman, I assume we universally share the view 
that we want those who have committed acts of terrorism against 
innocent people be brought to justice. And we have entrusted that 
responsibility to prosecutors in the military, the Justice Department, 
and to our intelligence community. This amendment lets those 
prosecutors do their job unimpeded by judgments that we are making 
without all the facts.
  If this amendment doesn't pass, the underlying bill says to those 
prosecutors, even if you think, as has been the case with over 400 
other suspects convicted in Article 3 courts, that an Article 3 trial 
is the right thing to do, you may not do it. It says to those 
prosecutors, even if you think live testimony from a Guantanamo 
detainee in a criminal court in this country in someone else's trial 
will help you win a conviction, you may not do it. Even if you think 
that we could gain standing with allies by having such a person tried 
in another jurisdiction, it would achieve a better result for our 
country and for an alliance against terrorism, you may not make that 
choice.
  Congress should set broad policy for our country. We should not 
Monday morning quarterback or backseat drive. By limiting the options 
of our prosecutors, I believe that's what we're doing, and we are 
risking the undesired and ironic result that will make it more 
difficult for those with whom we've entrusted this task to achieve the 
goal of bringing these people to justice.
  Mr. Smith's amendment is well considered. It broadens the options of 
those prosecutors and, I think, hastens the day when those who deserve 
to be brought to justice will, in fact, be brought to justice.
  I urge a ``yes'' vote on Mr. Smith's amendment.
  Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to my friend and 
colleague, the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Wittman).
