``CHAMP'') conducted last year, the Air Force should examine
the results of the demonstration and consider the
demonstration as a potential solution during any analysis of
alternatives conducted in 2014;
(2) an analysis of alternatives is an important step in the
long term-term development of a high power microwave weapon;
(3) additionally, a near-term option may be available to
get such capability to commanders of the combatant commands
should the capability be required;
(4) the Secretary of the Air Force should pursue both near-
and long-term high power microwave weapon systems;
(5) CHAMP could be developed as a cruise missile delivered
weapon with target availability to commanders of the
combatant commands by 2016; and
(6) such development should not prohibit or divert
resources from an analysis of alternatives and long-term
development of a high power microwave weapon.

SEC. 240. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE
STRATEGIC DEFENSE INITIATIVE.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) President Ronald Reagan in March 1983, in a speech from
the oval office, laid the corner stone for a long-term
research and development program to begin to achieve our
ultimate goal of eliminating the threat posed by strategic
nuclear missiles.
(2) President Reagan stated, ``I've become more and more
deeply convinced that the human spirit must be capable of
rising above dealing with other nations and human beings by
threatening their existence. . . What if free people could
live secure in the knowledge that their security did not rest
upon the threat of instant U.S. retaliation to deter a Soviet
attack, that we could intercept and destroy strategic
ballistic missiles before they reached our own soil or that
of our allies?''.
(3) The Strategic Defense Initiative, also known as ``Star
Wars'', challenged the nation to accomplish the impossible by
moving beyond the obvious possibilities of the day to set the
United States and our allies up for success.
(4) In 1999, the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization
(BMDO), National Missile Defense (NMD) prototype interceptor
successfully demonstrated ``hit-to-kill'' technology
intercepting a modified Minuteman intercontinental Ballistic
Missile (ICBM).
(5) Congress passed the National Missile Defense Act of
1999 (Public Law 106-38) (signed by President Clinton), which
stated, ``It is the policy of the United States to deploy, as
soon as is technologically possible, an effective National
Missile Defense system capable of defending the territory of
the United States against limited ballistic missile attack
(whether accidental, unauthorized, or deliberate)''.
(6) On December 13, 2001, President George W. Bush
announced ``I have concluded the ABM treaty hinders our
government's ability to develop ways to protect our people
from future terrorist or rogue state missile attacks''.
(7) Russian President Vladimir Putin said the move was
``not a threat to the security of the Russian Federation''.
(8) Since 2001, the United States has deployed considerable
Missile Defense capability: 30 ground-based interceptors
defending the continental U.S. today; 32 Aegis BMD ships; 113
SM-
[[Page H3394]]
3 IA interceptors; 25 SM-3 IB interceptors; 3 THAAD batteries
and 89 interceptors; and 8 AN/TPY-2 forward-based sensors.
(9) The United States has partnerships with 22 nations, and
the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), for missile
defense cooperation. Likewise, India and South Korea are
developing missile defenses and the Russian Federation and
People's Republic of China are also developing and improving
missile defenses.
(10) Since 2001 when they began development, United States
missile defenses have had a test record of 58 of 73 hit-to-
kill intercept attempts and have been successful across all
programs of the integrated system, including Aegis Ballistic
Missile Defense (BMD), Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD),
Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD), and PATRIOT
Advanced Capability-3.
(11) In July of 2004, the United States missile defense
system was declared operational with limited capability.
Since that time, it has offered defense against limited
threats to the continental United States.
(12) The United States has cooperatively developed with our
Israeli allies a number of missile defense systems including
Arrow, Arrow 3 and David's Sling, systems which will
protector our Israeli allies and contribute technology and
expertise to U.S. systems.
(13) The United States in support of NATO deployed a
Patriot missile battery to defend the population and
territory of Turkey and provide material support for Article
V of the North Atlantic Treaty in the event of spillover from
the Syrian civil war and has deployed Phase I of the European
Phased Adaptive Approach, which includes a transportable x-
band radar array and an on-station AEGIS ballistic missile
defense ship armed with Standard Missile 3 block IA missile
interceptors.
(14) When United States territory, deployed forces and
allies were threatened by North Korean ballistic missiles the
United States had the operational capability and national
will to deploy THAAD units to Guam to provide a defensive
shield.
(15) The United States continues to work jointly with Japan
to improve the Navy Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD)
which in addition to providing missile defense in the Pacific
is also a keystone in the Phased Adaptive Approach for
European missile defense.
(16) On-going research and development under the auspices
of the Missile Defense Agency will continue to expand the
technology envelope to deploy a layered missile defense
system capable of defending the homeland, our military forces
deployed overseas, friendly nations and our allies against
all ballistic missiles from launch and orbit to reentry.
(17) A credible ballistic missile defense system is
critical to the national defense of the United States.
(b) Sense of Congress.--Congress--
(1) recognizes the inspiring leadership of President Ronald
Reagan to ``maintain the peace through strength'';
(2) recognizes the enduring obligation President as
Commander in Chief to`` preserve, protect, and defend the
Constitution'';
(3) commemorates the vision of President Reagan on the 30th
anniversary of the Strategic Defense Initiative;
(4) believes that it is imperative that the United States
continue fielding a robust missile defense system, including
additional ground based interceptors; and
(5) commits to supporting continued investments in future
missile defense capabilities and emerging technologies such
as directed energy and railguns.

NAVAL FORCE.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The battle force of the Navy must be sufficiently sized
and balanced in capability to meet current and anticipated
future national security objectives.
(2) A robust and balanced naval force is required for the
Department of Defense to fully execute the President's
National Security Strategy.
(3) To develop and sustain required capabilities the Navy
must balance investment and maintenance costs across various
ship types, including--
(A) aircraft carriers;
(B) surface combatants;
(C) submarines;
(D) amphibious assault ships; and
(E) other auxiliary vessels, including support vessels
operated by the Military Sealift Command.
(4) Despite a Marine Corps requirement for 38 amphibious
assault ships, the Navy possesses only 30 amphibious assault
ships with an average of 22 ships available for surge
deployment.
(5) The inadequate level of investment in Navy shipbuilding
over the last 20 years has resulted in--
(A) a fragile shipbuilding industrial base, both in the
construction yards and secondary suppliers of materiel and
equipment; and
(B) increased costs per vessel stemming from low production
volume.
(6) The Department of Defense, Military Construction and
Veterans Affairs, and Full-Year Continuing Appropriations Act
for Fiscal Year 2013 provided $263,000,000 towards the
advance procurement of materiel and equipment required to
continue the San Antonio LPD 17 amphibious transport dock
class to a total of 12 ships, a key first step in rebalancing
the amphibious assault ship force structure.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the Sense of Congress that--
(1) the Department of Defense and the Department of the
Navy must prioritize funding towards increased shipbuilding
rates to enable the Navy to meet the full-range of combatant
commander requests;
(2) the Department of the Navy's future budget requests and
the Long Range Plan for the Construction of Naval Forces must
realistically anticipate and reflect the true investment
necessary to meet stated force structure goals;
(3) without modification to Long Range Plan for the
Construction of Naval Forces shipbuilding plan, the future of
the industrial base that enables construction of large,
combat-survivable amphibious assault ships is at significant
risk; and
(4) the Department of Defense and Congress should act
expeditiously to restore the force structure and capability
balance of the Navy fleet as quickly as possible.

SEC. 1055. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON COMPLIANCE WITH NUCLEAR ARMS
CONTROL AGREEMENTS.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) President Obama stated in Prague in April 2009 that
``Rules must be binding. Violations must be punished. Words
must mean something.''.
(2) President Obama's Nuclear Posture Review of 2010
stated, ``it is not enough to detect non-compliance;
violators must know that they will face consequences when
they are caught.''.
(3) The July 2010 Verifiability Assessment released by the
Department of State on the New START Treaty stated, ``The
costs and risks of Russian cheating or breakout, on the other
hand, would likely be very significant. In addition to the
financial and international political costs of such an
action, any Russian leader considering cheating or breakout
from the New START Treaty would have to consider that the
United States will retain the ability to upload large numbers
of additional nuclear warheads on both bombers and missiles
under the New START, which would provide the ability for a
timely and very significant U.S. response.''.
(4) Subsection (a) of the Resolution of Advice and Consent
to Ratification of the New START Treaty of the Senate, agreed
to on December 22, 2010, listed conditions of the Senate to
the ratification of the New START Treaty that are binding
upon the President, including the condition under paragraph
(1)(B) of such subsection that requires the President to take
certain actions in response to actions by the Russian
Federation that are in violation of or inconsistent with such
treaty, including to ``seek on an urgent basis a meeting with
the Russian Federation at the highest diplomatic level with
the objective of bringing the Russian Federation into full
compliance with its obligations under the New START Treaty''.
(5) The Obama Administration demonstrated that violations
of treaty obligations by other parties require corresponding
action by the United States when, on November 22, 2011, the
Department of State announced that the United States would
``cease carrying out certain obligations under the
Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE) Treaty with regard
to Russia. This announcement in the CFE Treaty's
implementation group comes after the United States and NATO
Allies have tried over the past 4 years to find a diplomatic
solution following Russia's decision in 2007 to cease
implementation with respect to all other 29 CFE States. Since
then, Russia has refused to accept inspections and ceased to
provide information to other CFE Treaty parties on its
military forces as required by the Treaty.''.
(6) On October 17, 2012, the Chairman of the Committee on
Armed Services of the House of Representatives and the
Chairman of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence of
the House of Representatives wrote a classified letter to the
President stating their concerns about a major arms control
violation by the Russian Federation.
(7) The Chairmen followed up their classified letter with
unclassified letters on February 14 and April 12, 2013--in
their latest letter, the Chairmen stated that they expect the
Administration to ``directly confront the Russian violations
and circumventions of this and other treaties. . .[we]

SEC. 1222. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON UNITED STATES MILITARY
SUPPORT IN AFGHANISTAN.
It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) since the United States engagement in Afghanistan
beginning in 2001, United States and coalition forces have
achieved substantial progress toward security and stability
in Afghanistan, including the training of the Afghan National
Security Forces;
(2) a stable and secure Afghanistan with a credible
government is in the long-term national security interests of
the United States and would contribute to the overall
stability and security in the region;
(3) as the United States accelerates transfer of the lead
for security to the Afghan National Security Forces by the
spring of 2013, the United States should assist the Afghan
National Security Forces to maintain gains in security and
should continue to evaluate the capability and capacity of
the Afghan National Security Forces through the fighting
season in 2013;
(4) following the duration of the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization (NATO) mission on December 31, 2014, the United
States should continue efforts to disrupt, dismantle, and
defeat al Qaeda;
(5) the Haqqani Network continues to be the most important
enabler of al Qaeda in Afghanistan and Pakistan;
(6) the operational requirements of the Afghan National
Security Forces, in part due to the threat to the Government
of Afghanistan from the Haqqani Network, al Qaeda, and other
associated groups, necessitate that the Afghan Security
National Forces have sufficient operational capacity to
maintain the security of Afghanistan, including enabler
capabilities such as aviation, casualty evacuation,
logistics, intelligence, and indirect fire;
(7) the United States, with its Afghan partners, should
provide assistance to the Government of Afghanistan so that
the Taliban, the Haqqani Network, and associated terrorist
and insurgent groups cannot militarily overthrow the
Government of Afghanistan or plan and launch attacks against
United States and Afghan interests from safe havens in
Afghanistan;
(8) the United States military's transition to
counterterrorism and advise and assist missions should occur
consistent with agreements between the United States,
Afghanistan, and international partners as well as conditions
on the ground;
(9) a bilateral security agreement that preserves vital
United States interests between the United States and the
Government of Afghanistan, achieved at the earliest
practicable time, is critical to the long-term stability of
Afghanistan as well as United States' long term interests;
however, the United States should not sign a bilateral
security agreement that is antithetical to United States
national security interests or commits to funding not
directly linked to achieving those interests;
(10) the United States should support the achievement of a
bilateral security agreement between NATO and the Government
of Afghanistan because such a bilateral security agreement
also will contribute to the long term stability and security
of Afghanistan;
(11) the United States should conduct the required
oversight and audits of United States stability programs to
ensure that the activities are in line with the intended
purpose of these programs;
(12) the United States should assist the Government of
Afghanistan to provide security for the Afghan elections
scheduled for 2014 and provide such assistance as requested
by Afghan Government entities overseeing the elections and
judged necessary by the United States to help guarantee a
credible and legitimate election; and
(13) significant uncertainty exists within Afghanistan
regarding the level of future United States military support
following the end of the NATO mission on December 31, 2014,
and therefore in order to reduce such uncertainty and promote
further stability and security in Afghanistan following the
end of the NATO mission, the President should--
(A) publicly support a residual United States military
presence in Afghanistan consistent with United States
national security interests;
(B) as part of the announcement of residual force levels,
publicly define the mission sets and the support that the
United States will provide to the Afghan National Security
Forces; and
(C) publicly support sufficient funding for the Afghan
National Security Forces until the Government of Afghanistan
is able to independently sustain the security of Afghanistan
consistent with United States national security interests.

SEC. 1233. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE DEFENSE OF THE ARABIAN
GULF.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) In response to U.S. Central Command requirements, the
United States Navy has maintained, on average, more than one
aircraft carrier in the Arabian Gulf for more than five
years.
(2) In February 2013, the senior leadership of the
Department of Defense elected to reduce the number of
aircraft carriers deployed to the Arabian Gulf in light of
budget constraints and limitation of the overall carrier
force structure to support the two aircraft carrier
requirement.
(3) In reference to the decision to indefinitely delay the
deployment of the USS Harry Truman, CVN 75, and the USS
Gettysburg, its cruiser escort, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs,
General Martin Dempsey stated, ``We're trying to stretch our
readiness out by keeping this particular carrier in homeport
in our global response force, so if something happens
elsewhere in the world, we can respond to it. Had we deployed
it and `consumed' that readiness, we could have created a
situation where downstream we wouldn't have a carrier present
in certain parts of the world at all.''.
(4) Highlighting the risks of having only one aircraft
carrier in the region and relying on land-based aircraft,
General Dempsey stated, ``When you have carrier-based
aircraft, you have complete autonomy and control over when
you use them. When you use land-based aircraft, you often
have to have host-nation permission to use them.''.
(5) Addressing the perception of the United States
commitment to the region, General James Mattis, Commander of
U.S. Central Command, testified in March 2013, ``Perhaps the
greatest risk to U.S. interests in the region is a perceived
lack of an enduring U.S. commitment to collective interests
and the security of our regional partners.''. He went on to
testify that, ``The drawdown of our forces can be
misinterpreted as a lack of attention, a lack of commitment
to the region.''.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) maintaining only one aircraft carrier battle group in
the Arabian Gulf constrains United States' options and could
put at risk the ability to have diversified platforms from
which to defend the Arabian Gulf and, if necessary, to
conduct military operations to prevent Iran from threatening
the United States, United States allies, or Iran's neighbors
with nuclear weapons;
(2) it is in the interests of the United States to maintain
both land-based and sea-based capabilities in the region to
project force;
(3) land-based locations in the region could restrict
United States military options and critically impact the
operational capability if required to conduct a defense of
the Arabian Gulf because the United States has not finalized
bilateral security agreements with key Gulf Cooperation
Council countries;
(4) as a result of these and other critical limitations
associated with maintaining one aircraft carrier battle group
in the Arabian Gulf, United States military commanders have
expressed concerns about the operational constraints, the
increasing uncertainty among United States allies, and the
emboldening of potential adversaries such as Iran;
(5) regarding the ability of the United States Navy to
maintain a two aircraft carrier presence in the Arabian Gulf,
the Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Jonathan Greenert,
stated, ``We need 11 carriers to do the job. That's been
pretty clearly written, and that's underwritten in our
defense strategic guidance.''.
(6) the United States should construct and sufficiently
sustain a fleet of at least eleven aircraft carriers and
associated battle force ships in order to meet current and
future requirements and to support at least a two aircraft
carrier battle group presence in the Arabian Gulf, in
addition to meeting other operational requirements; and
(7) the United States should finalize bilateral agreements
with key Gulf Cooperation Council countries that support the
Defense of the Arabian Gulf requirements, at the earliest
possible date.
Subtitle E--Reports and Other Matters
SEC. 1241. REPORT ON POSTURE AND READINESS OF UNITED STATES
ARMED FORCES TO RESPOND TO FUTURE TERRORIST
ATTACKS IN AFRICA AND THE MIDDLE EAST.
(a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya on September
11, 2012, may have never occurred or could have been
prevented had there been an international stabilizing force
following NATO-led operations in order to help stabilize the
country, build capacity within the security forces, and
pursue terrorist groups that threaten the local government as
well as United States interests;
(2) the attack also highlighted the limitations of the
United States military to alert, deploy, and decisively
counter a no-notice terrorist attack such as the one in
Benghazi, or another security contingency, due to the
limitations stemming from United States military posture in
Africa and the Middle East and when there is a lack of a
layered defense at United States diplomatic facilities;
(3) the United States military is more effectively able to
respond to terrorist attacks on United States facilities
outside of the United States if the responding United States
military assets are forward deployed;
[[Page H3438]]
(4) when an intelligence threat assessment determines that
a United States facility overseas is vulnerable to attack,
such facility should have robust force protection measures
sufficient to safeguard personnel and assets until a United
States military response can arrive;
(5) the continually evolving terrorist threat to United
States interests on the Continent of Africa and the Middle
East necessitates that the United States military maintains a
forward deployed posture in Europe, Middle East, and Africa
in order to be able to respond to terrorist events, or other
security contingencies, and to effectively evacuate and
recover United States personnel;
(6) the United States military, in conjunction with the
Department of State and the intelligence community, should
continue to evaluate the assumptions underpinning the
terrorist threat in order to ensure that it is effectively
able to respond globally to future terrorist attacks;
(7) the United States military should regularly re-evaluate
the posture and alert status requirements of its crisis
response elements in order to be more responsive to the
evolving and global nature of the terrorist threat, and all
United States military crisis response elements should be
fully equipped with the required supporting capabilities to
conduct their missions;
(8) on April 16, 2013, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, General Martin Dempsey, testified before the House
Appropriations Committee that the military is, ``. .
.adapting our force posture to a new normal of combustible
violence in North Africa and in the Middle East'';
(9) The President stated in a press conference on May 16,
2013, ``I have directed the Defense Department to ensure that
our military can respond lightening quick in times of
crisis.'';
(10) the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs should continue to
evaluate the posture of United States forces to respond to
the global terrorist threat, including an evaluation of
whether United States Africa Command should have forces and
necessary equipment permanently assigned to the command to
respond more promptly to this ``new normal''; and
(11) although the Department of State-initiated
Accountability Review Board found that the Marine Security
Guard program should be expanded and that there should be
greater coordination between the Department of Defense and
the Department of State to identify additional resources for
security at high risk posts, the United States military may
be challenged to provide additional security to Department of
State facilities due to budget shortfalls, on-going force
structure constraints, and increasing operational
requirements for the Department of Defense.
(b) Report Required.--
(1) In general.--Not later than 180 days after the date of
the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense, in
consultation with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
shall submit to the appropriate congressional committees a
report on the posture and readiness of United States Armed
Forces to respond to future terrorist attacks in Africa and
the Middle East.
(2) Matters to be included.--The plan required under
paragraph (1) shall include, at a minimum, the following:
(A) An assessment of terrorist groups and other non-state
groups that threaten United States interests and facilities
in Africa, including a description of the key assumptions
underpinning such assessment.
(B) A description of the readiness, posture, and alert
status of relevant United States Armed Forces in Europe, the
Middle East, Africa, and the United States and any changes
implemented or planned to be implemented since the terrorist
attack in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2012, to respond
to the ``new normal'' and President Obama's directive for the
military to respond ``lightening quick'' in times of crisis.
(C) In consultation with the Secretary of State, a
description of new or modified requirements of the Department
of State, if any, for--
(i) United States Marine Security Guard Detachments;
(ii) any other Department of Defense assets to provide
enhanced security at Department of State facilities;
(iii) an explanation of how any new requirements for Marine
Security Detachments or other Department of Defense assets
affect the capacity of the Armed Forces, including
specifically the capacity of the Marine Corps, to fulfill
Department of Defense operational requirements; and
(iv) an explanation of how any unfulfilled requirements for
Marine Security Detachments would adversely impact security
at Department of State facilities.
(3) Definition.--In this subsection, the term ``appropriate
congressional committees'' means--
(A) the Committee on Armed Services and the Committee on
Foreign Relations of the Senate; and
(B) the Committee on Armed Services and the Committee on
Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives.
SEC. 1242. ROLE OF THE GOVERNMENT OF EGYPT TO UNITED STATES
NATIONAL SECURITY.
(a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) Egypt is undergoing a significant political transition
and the ultimate outcome of this political process and its
implications for United States national security interests
remain uncertain;
(2) the United States continues to have considerable
concerns about the intentions and actions of the Egyptian
Muslim Brotherhood and whether the government of President
Morsi is committed to a pluralistic, democratic Egypt;
(3) the United States has a stake in Egypt becoming a
mature, pluralistic democracy in which the rights of Egyptian
citizens, including women and minorities, are protected;
(4) the United States should continue to closely monitor
President Morsi's support for the peace treaty with the
Government of Israel, which has been a stabilizing force in
the region for over 30 years;
(5) the United States military relationship with the
Egyptian military is long-standing and should remain a key
pillar to, and component of, United States engagement with
Egypt;
(6) the close military-to-military relationship between the
United States and Egypt has been a critical component in
enabling counterterrorism cooperation between the two
governments to ensure the United States military has freedom
of movement throughout the region in order to deter
aggression and respond to threats to United States national
security interests, particularly in light of the security
situation in Libya and the Sinai;
(7) the Egyptian military has exercised restraint and
professionalism during the unrest in Egypt over the last two
years and hopefully will remain a key mechanism through which
the United States can support the people of Egypt in
achieving their goals for a representative and democratic
political system, while promoting peace and security in the
region; and
(8) therefore, with appropriate vetting, United States
military assistance and support to the Egyptian military
should continue, even as civilian aid to Egypt receives
greater scrutiny as a result of the uncertainty associated
with Egypt's current political leadership and economic
policies.
(b) Plan Required.--
(1) In general.--Not later than 180 days after the date of
the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense, in
consultation with the Secretary of State, shall submit to the
appropriate congressional committees a report that contains a
comprehensive plan for United States military assistance and
cooperation with Egypt.
(2) Matters to be included.--The plan required under
paragraph (1) shall include, at a minimum, a detailed
description of the following:
(A) How United States security assistance and cooperation
enables--
(i) freedom of movement for the United States military
throughout the region; and
(ii) the Government of Egypt to disrupt, dismantle, and
defeat al Qaeda, affiliated groups, and other terrorist
organizations, whether based in and operating from Egyptian
territory or the region.
(B) The capacity of the Government of Egypt to prevent the
illicit movement of terrorists, criminals, weapons, and other
dangerous material across Egypt's borders or administrative
boundaries, including through tunnels and other illicit
points of entry into Gaza.
(C) The extent to which the Egyptian military is--
(i) supporting the protection of the political, economic,
and religious freedoms and human rights of all citizens and
residents in Egypt;
(ii) supporting credible and legitimate elections in Egypt;
(iii) supporting the Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty;
(iv) taking effective steps to eliminate smuggling networks
and to detect and destroy tunnels between Egypt and Gaza; and
(v) supporting action to combat terrorism in the Sinai.
(3) Appropriate congressional committees defined.--In this
subsection, the term ``appropriate congressional committees''
means--
(A) the congressional defense committees; and
(B) the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate and
the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of
Representatives.
SEC. 1243. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE MILITARY DEVELOPMENTS ON
THE KOREAN PENINSULA.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (``North
Korea'') has escalated regional tensions with hostile
rhetoric and provocative actions.
(2) North Korea threatened a nuclear attack on the United
States and a resumption of open war against the Republic of
Korea (``South Korea'').
(3) North Korea's nuclear weapons and ballistic missile
programs constitute a threat to the national security of the
United States and to regional stability.
(4) On April 14, 2009, North Korea halted negotiations
regarding its nuclear weapons program when it abandoned the
Six-Party Talks with the People's Republic of China
(``China''), Japan, the Russian Federation (``Russia''),
South Korea, and the United States.
(5) On May 25, 2009, North Korea detonated a nuclear device
in an underground explosive test.
(6) On March 26, 2010, North Korea sank a South Korean
naval vessel, the Cheonan, killing 46 South Korean sailors.
(7) On November 23, 2010, North Korea shelled the border
island of Yeonpyeong-do, killing four people. This was the
first direct artillery attack on South Korean territory since
the signing of the 1953 armistice.
(8) On April 13, 2012, North Korea conducted a rocket
launch that failed to send a satellite into orbit. This
launch violated United Nations Security Council (UNSC)
Resolutions 1718 and 1874.
(9) On December 12, 2012, North Korea used banned long-
range missile technology to launch an earth observation
satellite into orbit. In response, the UNSC unanimously
adopted Resolution 2087, condemning the launch.
(10) On February 12, 2013, North Korea conducted a third
underground nuclear test in violation of UNSC Resolution
1718, 1874, and 2087. The test also contravened North Korea's
commitments under the September 2005 Joint Statement of the
Six-Party Talks.
(11) On March 7, 2013, the UNSC unanimously adopted
Resolution 2094, condemning North Korea's third nuclear test
and imposed additional sanctions against the regime.
[[Page H3439]]
(12) On March 28, 2013, North Korea unilaterally nullified
the armistice agreement with the United States that suspended
military conflict on the Korean peninsula.
(13) On March 30, 2013, North Korea declared a state of war
with South Korea.
(14) On April 4, 2013, North Korea placed two intermediate-
range Musudan missiles on mobile launchers and temporarily
relocated them to the eastern coast of the Korean peninsula
before removing them a month later from the launch sites.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the United States and its allies, South Korea and
Japan, share the goal of a stable and peaceful Korean
Peninsula, free of nuclear weapons;
(2) the United States remains committed to defending its
allies in the Asia-Pacific region and stability in Northeast
Asia requires restraint by all parties from activities that
would complicate international relations or escalate
international tensions, and international disputes should be
mitigated in a constructive manner consistent with
established principles of international law;
(3) Congress supports--
(A) the verifiable denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula
in a peaceful manner,
(B) North Korea's abandonment of its nuclear programs and
return to the Treaty on the Nonproliferation of Nuclear
Weapons and to International Atomic Energy Agency safeguards;
and
(C) North Korea's full acceptance of and compliance with
the terms of the 1953 Armistice Agreement;
(4) the United States has national interests in security
and stability in the Asia-Pacific region, the implementation
of the United States-Korea Free Trade Agreement, nuclear non-
proliferation efforts, the promotion of respect for the
fundamental human rights of the North Korean people,
international cyber-security cooperation, and full
implementation of United States and multilateral sanctions
against illicit activities;
(5) the United States encourages China and Russia to fully
implement and enforce United States and United Nations
Security Council sanctions against North Korea; and
(6) the President, the Secretary of State, and the
Secretary of Defense should keep Congress fully informed on
security developments on the Korean Peninsula.

SEC. 1251. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE CONFLICT IN SYRIA.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) The conflict in Syria began in March 2011.
(2) As of February 2013, the United Nations High
Commissioner for Human Rights estimated that approximately
70,000 Syrians have been killed during the conflict.
(3) According to the United Nations High Commissioner for
Refugees, over 1,200,000 Syrians are registered refugees or
persons of concern including, over 66,000 in Egypt, over
145,000 in Iraq, over 461,000 in Jordan, over 462,000 in
Lebanon, and over 329,000 in Turkey.
(4) Jabhat al-Nusra, a group located in Syria and
categorized as an affiliate of al-Qaeda by the intelligence
community, presents a direct threat to the interests of the
United States and could present a direct threat to the United
States.
(5) On August 19, 2011, President Obama stated: ``The
future of Syria must be determined by its people, but
President Bashar al-Assad is standing in their way. We have
consistently said that President Assad must lead a democratic
transition or get out of the way. He has not led. For the
sake of the Syrian people, the time has come for President
Assad to step aside.''.
(6) The United States is deploying 200 military personnel
from the headquarters of the 1st Armored Division to Jordan
in order to ``improve readiness and prepare for a number of
scenarios''.
(7) In a letter from Miguel Rodriguez, the Assistant to the
President for Legislative Affairs, to Senators McCain and
Levin, dated April 25, 2013, it stated that ``our
intelligence community does assess with varying degrees of
confidence that the Syrian regime has used chemical weapons
on a small scale in Syria, specifically, the chemical agent
sarin. . .We do believe that any use of chemical weapons in
Syria would very likely have originated with the Assad
regime. . .the President has made it clear that the use of
chemical weapons--or the transfer of chemical weapons to
terrorist groups--is a red line for the United States of
America''.
(8) In a press conference with Israel Prime Minister,
Benjamin Netanyahu, President Obama stated: ``I have made
clear that the use of chemical weapons is a game-changer''.
(9) In August 2012, during a White House press conference,
President Obama stated: ``We have been very clear to the
Assad regime, but also to other players on the ground, that a
redline for us is we start seeing a whole bunch of chemical
weapons moving around or being utilized.''.
(10) It is a threat to the vital national security interest
of the United States if terrorist groups, such as al-Qaeda,
obtain chemical or biological material or weapons in Syria.
(11) At a Pentagon press conference on May 2, 2013,
Secretary Hagel confirmed that the Obama Administration is
re-thinking its opposition to arming the rebels.
(12) On April 11, 2013, responding to a question about the
need for a supplemental funding request for any potential
United States military effort in Syria, Secretary Hagel
stated: ``Yes, I think it is pretty clear that a supplemental
would be required.''.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) President Obama should have a comprehensive policy and
should ensure robust contingency planning to secure United
States' interests in Syria;
(2) President Obama should fully consider all courses of
action to remove President Bashar al-Assad from power;
(3) the conflict in Syria threatens the vital national
security interests of Israel, which should be sufficiently
weighed by the President when considering policy approaches
towards the conflict in Syria;
(4) the President should fully consider all courses of
action to reinforce his stated ``redline'' regarding the use
of weapons of mass destruction by the Assad regime in Syria,
which could threaten the credibility of the United States
with its allies in the region and embolden the Assad regime;
(5) the United States should continue to conduct rigorous
planning and operational preparation to support any efforts
to secure the chemical and biological stockpiles and
associated weapons;
(6) the United States should have a policy that supports
the stability of countries on Syria's border, including
Jordan, Turkey, Iraq, Lebanon, and Israel;
(7) the United States should continue to support Syrian
opposition forces with non-lethal aid;
(8) the President, the Department of Defense, the
Department of State, and the intelligence community, in
cooperation with European and regional allies, should ensure
that the risks of all courses of action or inaction regarding
Syria are fully explored and understood and that Congress is
kept fully informed of such risks;
(9) the President should fully consider, and the Department
of Defense should conduct prudent planning for, the provision
of lethal aid and relevant operational training to vetted
Syrian opposition forces, including an analysis of the risks
of the provision of such aid and training; and
(10) should the President decide to employ any military
assets in Syria, the President should provide a supplemental
budget request to Congress.

DEFENSE CAPABILITIES.
(a) Statement of Policy.--Congress reaffirms, with respect
to executive agreements relating to the missile defense
capabilities of the United States, including basing,
locations, capabilities and numbers of missiles with respect
to such missile defense capabilities, that section 303(b) of
the Arms Control and Disarmament Act (22 U.S.C. 2573(b))
provides the following: ``No action shall be taken pursuant
to this or any other Act that would obligate the United
States to reduce or limit the Armed Forces or armaments of
the United States in a militarily significant manner, except

or unless authorized by the enactment of further affirmative

SEC. 1255. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON MILITARY-TO-MILITARY
COOPERATION BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND
BURMA.
It is the sense of the Congress that--
(1) as the United States policy rebalances towards Asia, it
is critical that the United States military comprehensively
evaluate its engagement with Burma;
(2) the future of the military-to-military relationship
between the United States and Burma should take into account
the current ethnic conflict in Burma and persecution of
ethnic and religious minorities;
(3) while the United States has national security interests
in Burma's peace and stability, the peaceful settlement of
armed conflicts with the ethnic minority groups requires the
Burmese military to respect ceasefire agreements, laws of
war, and human rights provisions; and
(4) the Department of Defense should fully consider and
assess the Burmese military's efforts to implement reforms,
end impunity for human rights abuses, and increase
transparency and accountability before expanding military-to-
military cooperation beyond initial dialogue and isolated
engagements.
SEC. 1256. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE STATIONING OF UNITED
STATES FORCES IN EUROPE.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) During the past several years, over 700 kinetic terror
incidents have occurred in the U.S. European Command (EUCOM)
area of operations. Rising tensions in the region due to
unemployment, fiscal insolvency, ethnic strife, hegemonic
desires, and terrorism, pose risks to the security and
stability of Europe.
(2) Arab Spring uprisings in Middle Eastern and North
African countries, including the Republic of Mali, the Arab
Republic of Egypt, Libya, and the Syrian Arab Republic
(Syria), have presented emerging strategic challenges that
present significant implications for regional stability, the
security of the State of Israel (Israel), and the national
security interests of the United States and many European
allies.
(3) U.S. Africa Command does not have formally assigned
Army or Marine Corps units assigned to it and it continues to
share Air Force and Navy component commands with EUCOM.
Consequently, United States forces stationed in Europe have
been deployed to support contingencies associated with the
Arab Spring in North Africa.
(4) The Commander of U.S. European Command is responsible
for developing operational plans for the defense of Israel.
Moreover, forces stationed in Europe would be deployed to
defend Israel in the event of such a contingency.
(5) Regimes, including the Islamic Republic of Iran and
Syria, continue efforts to procure, develop, and proliferate
advanced ballistic missile technologies that pose a serious
threat to United States forces and installations in the
theater, as well as to the territory, populations, and forces
of Israel and European allies. United States missile defense
capabilities in Europe seek to mitigate these threats.
(6) Violent extremist organizations, including Kongra-Gel,
al Qaida, Lebanese Hizballah, and Iranian Qods Force, may
utilize Europe as an important venue for recruitment,
logistical support, financing, and the targeting of the
United States and Western interests.
(7) Congress has lacked sufficient data to compare the
strategic benefits and the costs associated with permanently
stationing forces in Europe. The Government Accountability
Office (GAO) has found that the combatant commands do not
completely and consistently report cost data in their theater
posture plans. In particular, GAO reported in February 2011
that EUCOM lacks comprehensive cost data in its theater
posture plans and therefore decision makers lack critical
information that could be used to make fully informed posture
decisions. Additionally, in June 2012, GAO found that the
Department of Defense has taken steps to align posture
initiatives with strategy and cost, but continues to lack
comprehensive and consistent cost estimates of initiatives.
(8) The Department of Defense has reported that the cost of
permanently stationing forces in the United States rather
than overseas is often offset by such factors as increased
rotational costs.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) an enduring United States presence and engagement
across Europe and Eurasia provides the critical access and
infrastructure necessary to accomplish United States
strategic priorities, expand United States global reach to
Europe, Eurasia, the Middle East, Africa, as well as the
Mediterranean and Atlantic Oceans, and facilitates a rapid
United States response for complex contingencies;
(2) the United States continues to have an interest in
supporting the stability and security of Europe, especially
in a dynamic and challenging global security environment;
(3) forward-stationed active duty service members, forward-
deployed rotational units, and reserve forces assigned to
U.S. European Command remain essential for United States
planning, logistics, and operations in support of U.S.
Central Command, U.S. Africa Command, U.S. Transportation
Command, U.S. Special Operations Command, and U.S. Strategic
Command, as well as fulfilling commitments under Article V of
the North Atlantic Charter;
(4) in light of the benefits associated with defense of the
homeland forward and strategic access, as well as the
potential for rotational deployments to increase cost to the
Department of Defense, the Department of Defense should
implement the recommendations of the Government
Accountability Office with regard to improved cost estimation
to enable informed force posture decisions prior to making
any further significant changes to the United States force
posture in Europe that could increase risk for the United
States; and
(5) the Secretary of Defense should keep Congress fully and
currently informed regarding the requirements of the United
States force posture in Europe and the costs associated with
maintaining such force.
SEC. 1257. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON MILITARY CAPABILITIES OF THE
PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA.
Congress--
(1) notes the People's Republic of China (PRC) continues to
rapidly modernize and expand its military capabilities across
the land, sea, air, space, and cyberspace domains;
(2) is concerned by the rate and scope of PRC military
developments, including its military-focused cyber espionage,
which indicate a desire to constrain or prevent the peaceful
activities of the United States and its allies in the Western
Pacific;
(3) concurs with Admiral Samuel Locklear, commander of U.S.
Pacific Command, that ``China's rapid development of advanced
military capabilities, combined with its unclear intentions,
certainly raises strategic and security concerns for the U.S
and the region'';
(4) notes the United States remains committed to a robust
forward military-presence in the Asia-Pacific and will
continue to vigorously support mutual defense arrangements
with treaty allies while also building deeper relationships
with other strategic partners in the region; and
(5) urges the Government of the PRC to work peacefully to
resolve existing territorial disputes and to adopt a maritime
code of conduct with relevant parties to guide all forms of
maritime interaction and communications in the Asia-Pacific.
SEC. 1258. RULE OF CONSTRUCTION.
Nothing in this Act shall be construed as authorizing the

MEMORIAL IN RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) The most reliable statistics regarding the number of
members of the Armed Forces who have been awarded the
Distinguished Flying Cross indicate that 126,318 members of
the Armed Forces received the medal during World War II,
approximately 21,000 members received the medal during the
Korean conflict, and 21,647 members received the medal during
the Vietnam War. Since the end of the Vietnam War, more than
203 Armed Forces members have received the medal in times of
conflict.
(2) The National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis,
Missouri, burned down in 1973, and thus many more recipients
of the Distinguished Flying Cross may be undocumented.
Currently, the Department of Defense continues to locate and
identify members of the Armed Forces who have received the
medal and are undocumented.
(3) The United States currently lacks a national memorial
dedicated to the bravery and sacrifice of those members of
the Armed Forces who have distinguished themselves by heroic
deeds performed in aerial flight.
(4) An appropriate memorial to current and former members
of the Armed Forces is under construction at March Field Air
Museum in Riverside, California.
(5) This memorial will honor all those members of the Armed
Forces who have distinguished themselves in aerial flight,
whether documentation of such members who earned the
Distinguished Flying Cross exists or not.
(b) Designation.--The memorial to members of the Armed
Forces who have been awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross,
located at March Field Air Museum in Riverside, California,
is hereby designated as the Distinguished Flying Cross
National Memorial.
(c) Effect of Designation.--The national memorial
designated by this section is not a unit of the National Park
System, and the designation of the national memorial shall
not be construed to require or permit Federal funds to be
expended for any purpose related to the national memorial.

SEC. 3122. EXTENSION OF PRINCIPLES OF PILOT PROGRAM TO
ADDITIONAL FACILITIES OF THE NUCLEAR SECURITY
ENTERPRISE.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) In April 2006, the Administrator for Nuclear Security
initiated a pilot program to improve and streamline oversight
of the Kansas City Plant of the National Nuclear Security
Administration.
(2) In a memorandum initiating the pilot, the Administrator
cited slow progress in implementing previous efforts to
streamline such oversight, saying that such slow progress
``is a reflection of excessive risk aversion''.
(3) The pilot program shifted away from reliance on
directives of the Department of Energy and toward third-party
certification and industrial standards whenever possible--but
the pilot program specifically exempted certain high-hazard
operations from its scope.
(4) An independent assessment conducted one year after
initiation of the pilot found approximately $14,000,000 had
been saved in fiscal year 2007 because of the pilot program.
(5) The independent assessment found that ``the replacement
of Department of Energy prescriptive requirements with site
specific standards and operating systems was observed to be a
significant cost reduction driver. . .in several business
areas, this reduction was accomplished by moving toward the
use of metrics and benchmarks rather than transactional
oversight.''.
(6) The independent assessment further found that ``no
immediate or negative impacts were observed as a result'' of
the pilot program and that ``the lessons learned at [the
Kansas City Plant] can and should be applied at other NNSA
and DOE sites'', while acknowledging that application of such
lessons would be limited by the presence of high-risk, high-
hazard activities at such locations.
(7) The independent assessment concluded, ``it is our
opinion that these elements can be encouraged and developed
over time at each NNSA facility, subject to the limitations
made necessary by the nature of the site.''.
(b) Extension of Policies.--
(1) In general.--Except as provided by paragraph (2), the
Administrator for Nuclear Security shall--
(A) ensure that the principles of the pilot program are
permanently implemented at the Kansas City Plant of the
National Nuclear Security Administration; and
(B) in accordance with paragraph (3), extend such
principles of the pilot program, with modifications as the
Administrator determines appropriate, to not less than two
additional facilities of the nuclear security enterprise (as
defined in section 4002(5) of the Atomic Energy Defense Act
(50 U.S.C. 2501(5)), with such principles commencing at each
facility not later than one year after the date of the
enactment of this Act.
(2) Exemption.--In carrying out the extension of the
principles of the pilot program pursuant to subparagraph (A)
and (B) of paragraph (1), the Administrator--
(A) may exempt high-hazard or high-risk activities from
such extension;
(B) shall exempt nuclear operations from such extension;
and
(C) shall focus the initial extension of such principles on
low-risk, high-reward initiatives.
(3) Implementation.--
(A) In extending the principles of the pilot program to not
less than two facilities under paragraph (1)(B), the
Administrator shall certify to the appropriate congressional
committees that--
(i) the management and operating contractor for such a
facility has sufficiently mature processes, as well as high
performance, to enable the extension without undue risk; and
(ii) Federal oversight mechanisms are in place and
sufficiently mature to enable the extension without undue
risk.
(B) If the Administrator cannot make a certification under
subparagraph (A) with respect to a facility--
(i) the Administrator shall delay the extension of the
principles of the pilot program to such facility until the
date on which the Administrator makes such certification; and
(ii) not later than one year after the date of the
enactment of this Act, the Administrator shall submit to the
appropriate congressional committees a report regarding--
(I) the improvements to processes, procedures, and
performance that are required to make such certification;
(II) a plan with respect to the activities that the
Administrator will carry out to make such improvements; and
(III) the date by which the Administrator expects to make
such certification and extend the principles of the pilot
program.
(4) Definitions.--In this subsection:
(A) The term ``appropriate congressional committees'' means
the following:
(i) The congressional defense committees.
(ii) The Committee on Energy and Natural Resources of the
Senate and the Committee on Energy and Commerce of the House
of Representatives.
(B) The term ``principles of the pilot program'' means the
principles regarding the use of third-party certification,
industrial standards, best business practices, and
verification of internal procedures and performance to
improve and streamline oversight, as demonstrated in the
pilot program at the Kansas City Plant of the Administration
described in subsection (a)(1).

by striking ``December 31, 2015'' and inserting ``December
31, 2020''.
SEC. 3503. SENSE OF CONGRESS.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) It is in the interest of United States national
security that the United States merchant marine, both ships
and mariners, serve as a naval auxiliary in times of war or
national emergency.
(2) The readiness of the United States merchant fleet
should be augmented by a Government-owned reserve fleet
comprised of ships with national defense features that may
not be available immediately in sufficient numbers or types
in the active United States-owned, United States-flagged, and
United States-crewed commercial industry.
(3) The Ready Reserve Force of the Maritime Administration,
a component of the National Defense Reserve Fleet, plays an
important role in United States national security by
providing necessary readiness and efficiency in the form of a
Government-owned sealift fleet.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) maintaining a United States shipbuilding base is
critical to meeting United States national security
requirements;
(2) it is of vital importance that the Ready Reserve Force
of the Maritime Administration remains capable, modern, and
efficient in order to best serve the national security needs
of the United States in times of war or national emergency;
(3) Federal agencies must consider investment options for
replacing aging vessels within the Ready Reserve Force to
meet future operational commitments;
(4) investment in recapitalizing the Ready Reserve Force
may include--
(A) construction of dual-use vessels, based on need, for
use in the America's Marine Highway Program of the Department
of Transportation, as a recent study performed under a
cooperative agreement between the Maritime Administration and
the Navy demonstrated that dual-use vessels transporting
domestic freight between United States ports could be called
upon to supplement sealift capacity;
(B) construction of tanker vessels to meet military
transport needs; and
(C) construction of vessels for use in transporting
potential new energy exports; and
(5) the Department of Transportation, in consultation with
the Navy, should pursue the most cost-effective means of
recapitalizing the Ready Reserve Force, including by
promoting the building of new vessels that are militarily
useful and commercially viable.
DIVISION D--FUNDING TABLES
SEC. 4001. AUTHORIZATION OF AMOUNTS IN FUNDING TABLES.
(a) In General.--Whenever a funding table in this division
specifies a dollar amount authorized for a project, program,
or activity, the obligation and expenditure of the specified
dollar amount for the project, program, or activity is hereby
authorized, subject to the availability of appropriations.
(b) Merit-based Decisions.--A decision to commit, obligate,
or expend funds with or to a specific entity on the basis of
a dollar amount authorized pursuant to subsection (a) shall--
(1) be based on merit-based selection procedures in
accordance with the requirements of sections 2304(k) and 2374
of title 10, United States Code, or on competitive
procedures; and
(2) comply with other applicable provisions of law.
(c) Relationship to Transfer and Programming Authority.--An
amount specified in the funding tables in this division may
be transferred or reprogrammed under a transfer or
reprogramming authority provided by another
[[Page H3465]]
provision of this Act or by other law. The transfer or
reprogramming of an amount specified in such funding tables
shall not count against a ceiling on such transfers or
reprogrammings under section 1001 or section 1522 of this Act
or any other provision of law, unless such transfer or
reprogramming would move funds between appropriation
accounts.
(d) Applicability to Classified Annex.--This section
applies to any classified annex that accompanies this Act.
(e) Oral and Written Communications.--No oral or written
communication concerning any amount specified in the funding
tables in this division shall supersede the requirements of

Amendment No. 1 Offered by Mr. McKeon
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 1
printed in Part B of House Report 113-108.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I rise in support of the manager's
amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:
Page 400, line 15, after ``committees'' insert the
following: ``the Committee on Foreign Relations of the
Senate, and the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of
Representatives''.
Page 405, line 9, after the period insert the following:
``The Secretary of Defense shall submit any such classified
annex to the congressional defense committees.''.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 260, the gentleman
from California (Mr. McKeon) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from California.
Mr. McKEON. This is the manager's amendment, and it has been worked
on and agreed to by the minority. It contains technical and conforming
changes, and it's noncontroversial.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, although I'm not in
opposition, I rise to claim the time in opposition.
The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, the gentleman is recognized for
5 minutes.
There was no objection.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. I yield myself the balance of my time just
to say I agree with the chairman. These are technical corrections that
we have agreed to, and I urge support.
I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I ask our colleagues to support this
amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentleman from California (Mr. McKeon).
The amendment was agreed to.
Amendment No. 2 Offered by Mr. Blumenauer
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 2
printed in Part B of House Report 113-108.
Mr. BLUMENAUER. 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 C of title I, insert the following
new section:
SEC. 123. MODIFICATION OF REQUIREMENT FOR CERTAIN NUMBER OF
AIRCRAFT CARRIERS OF THE NAVY.
(a) In General.--Section 5062(b) of title 10, United States
Code, is amended by striking ``11'' and inserting ``10''.
(b) Conforming Repeal.--Section 1023 of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 (Public Law
111-84; 123 Stat. 2447) is repealed.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 260, the gentleman
from Oregon (Mr. Blumenauer) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Oregon.
Mr. BLUMENAUER. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself 2 minutes.
I appreciate the hard work that the committee has undertaken. We have
before you a bipartisan amendment also offered by my colleagues Mr.
Mulvaney and Mr. Bentivolio. The purpose of the amendment is simple: it
will help make the naval fleet stronger and more sustainable by
allowing the Navy to decide the level of aircraft carriers in the
future; stay at the current level of 10 at some point in the future
instead of going back to a congressionally mandated level. It does not
eliminate any aircraft carriers.
The entire Department of Defense is in the midst of a major reality
check as budgets shrink, priorities change, and new technologies
emerge. I don't pretend to be a naval expert, but our Navy is being
pushed into shallow waters as a result of sequestration. And now more
than ever, we should allow them to make the decisions.
I have been a little concerned that some people in opposition say
that this amendment would make a 10-carrier fleet permanent. Nothing
could be further from the truth. It simply will allow the Navy to
decide if it wants 10 aircraft carriers at some point in the next three
decades. Now, if they're afraid that this will happen, then it means
they think that the Navy 5 years, 10 years, 20 years from now will
decide that they have higher strategic needs.
The history of the 12-carrier requirement was imposed for the first
time in two centuries by Congress in 2006. That number, being
unsustainable, was reduced to 11 in 2007. That cap still being too
high, the Navy had to seek a waiver from the Congress to temporarily
drop it to 10.
If the amendment passes, the Navy will still go back to 11 carriers
in 2016 when the Ford is commissioned. But at that point, we should
allow the Navy to decide, not people in Congress.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I rise to claim the 5 minutes in
opposition.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from California is recognized for 5
minutes.
Mr. McKEON. I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from North Carolina
(Mr. McIntyre).
Mr. McINTYRE. I rise to oppose this amendment. The Navy is already
down to 11 aircraft carriers from a high of 15 during the Cold War. We
clearly need these 11 aircraft carriers to maintain a continuous
presence in the Middle East, the western Pacific, and wherever else we
may be called upon to go. Protecting our national security interests
with our allies, such as Israel and Japan, and keeping trade lanes
open, require the fleet of carriers that we have today.
Also, these carriers allow the U.S. to maintain influence without
having a base in a foreign country. Talk about saving money; carriers
are, in reality, mobile bases. This is a critical military capability
for the United States, and it must be maintained. Keeping aircraft
carrier production on track is also a major jobs issue. We know that
tens of thousands of skilled workers support building and maintaining
our aircraft carriers, and without them, we would soon lose our ability
to build large ships of any kind.
Mr. BLUMENAUER. I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from
Virginia (Mr. Wittman), a subcommittee chairman on the Armed Services
Committee.
Mr. WITTMAN. Simply put, this amendment seriously jeopardizes
national security and also our ability to project power and maintain a
forward presence in an ever-growing dangerous world. The backbone of
our Navy is our carrier strike force. In order to have seven carriers,
we need to have 11. There are carriers that are in port to be refueled,
sailors that have to rest. Eleven equals seven.
Today we see in the Central Command, they request two aircraft
carriers. They're only provided one in the most dangerous area of the
world, the Middle East. If we can't meet the requirements that our
commanders are asking for, then why would we want to be reducing the
number of carriers? That just doesn't make sense.
There's a misconception, too, that because we're moving out of
Afghanistan, that somehow there won't be a need for a presence of an
aircraft carrier there in the Arabian Gulf. That is absolutely wrong.
We need that presence there. The way we maintain that presence is to
make sure that we have a minimum of 11 aircraft carriers.
Our forward presence is needed today, and we want to make sure that
this is done, especially with the reposturing to the Asian Pacific.
[[Page H3521]]
With that, Mr. Chairman, I urge my colleagues to vote against this
amendment.
Mr. BLUMENAUER. I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from South
Carolina (Mr. Mulvaney).
Mr. MULVANEY. Mr. Chairman, you can imagine my surprise when I found
out that for the last 7 years, Congress has been dictating the number
of carriers that are in the Navy. For 230 years we were satisfied to
let the Navy make that decision. I was just stunned to find that this
was actually happening. I wish I had known. I could have offered an
amendment to simply get rid of the requirement entirely, but I applaud
my friend from Oregon for at least offering this small improvement.
I would respectfully disagree with my friend from Virginia--this
amendment has no impact at all on national security or national
defense. Again, there's no impact on national security or national
defense.
If the amendment passes, the Navy could have 20 carriers next year if
the Navy decided that that's what it wanted to do. All we're doing is
taking the congressional mandate down from 11 to 10.
I go back to the words of former Secretary Gates in 2010 to the Navy
League. I thought it was interesting what he said. He said:
Our current plan is to have 11 carrier strike groups
through 2040 to be sure the need to project power across the
seas will never go away, but consider the massive overmatch
the U.S. already enjoys. Consider, too, the growing anti-ship
capabilities of adversaries. Do we really need 11 carrier
strike groups for another 30 years when no other country has
more than one? Any future plans must address these realities.
That's all we are doing, Mr. Chairman, is simply giving the Navy more
control over how many carriers the Navy has.
With all due respect to all of my colleagues here, I am perfectly
willing to trust the Navy with the operations of our naval warfare,
more so than I am Congress. With that, I ask my friends to support this
amendment, which has no impact on national defense but gives more
control to the Navy, to the experts in the field.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to my friend and
colleague, the gentleman from Connecticut (Mr. Courtney).
Mr. COURTNEY. Mr. Chairman, as long as we are on the subject of the
Navy, the Navy actually did report to Congress in February 2013 with
their force structure assessment, which called for 11 carriers to be in
the force, which followed the strategic review which President Obama
and Secretary Gates conducted in 2011, reported in early 2012, which
talked about the repositioning to the Asian Pacific, which my friend,
Mr. Wittman, talked about. And, in fact, articulated the fact that we
are going to need more naval projection with that shift in strategy and
focus for our country's future national security needs.
Strategy should drive decisions here in Congress, both in terms of
the defense bill and our budgets. The Navy has spoken, in fact, as
recently as February of this year, with a report which I would be happy
to share with any of my colleagues, which clearly articulated an 11-
carrier force is what we need today and fits within the strategic
review, which we have just exhaustively conducted under the leadership
of Secretary Gates and President Obama. I urge a ``no'' vote on the
amendment.
{time} 1450
Mr. BLUMENAUER. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself 30 seconds just to say
the Navy is going to have 11 carriers when the one under construction
goes into operation. Nothing in this amendment denies them that.
What it says is that, subsequently, going out 20 or 30 years, the
decision about the minimum level will be left to the Navy, not
Congress.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, who has the right to close?
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from California has the right to
close and has 2 minutes remaining.
Mr. McKEON. I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. BLUMENAUER. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself the remainder of the
time.
The notion here that somehow, unless we impose a permanent mandate on
the Navy, they are not going to do what my friends from Connecticut and
Virginia say they're going to do, I think, is ludicrous.
This is a symbol of Congress micromanaging, substituting its judgment
for that of the command structure. It is, I think, important for us to,
in a small way, express confidence in them. They will have their 11
aircraft carriers, as the Gerald Ford is commissioned. They'll be back
at 11.
The question is, are we going to have a mandate in perpetuity to
substitute our judgment for the realities of the Navy in 5 years, 10
years, 30 years, regardless of force structure, threats or technology?
This is a small symbol of what's wrong with the process here and why
we can't get control over many of the budget issues.
I'd respectfully suggest support for this bipartisan amendment.
I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I yield the balance of our time to the
gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Forbes), subcommittee chairman on the
Armed Services Committee.
Mr. FORBES. I thank the chairman.
Mr. Chairman, one of the things that unites Republicans and Democrats
in opposition to this amendment, that's why you've heard them take this
floor, is that the Constitution of the United States mandates Congress
to build strong navies. It doesn't mandate the Pentagon, it doesn't
mandate the White House, it doesn't mandate anybody. It mandates us,
and we will not walk away from that mandate.
And if you look at every independent analysis, every QDR since 2001
says we need 11 carriers. If you really believe the Navy's going to
come in here and say they don't need them, that's not the truth. What's
going to happen is somebody's going to give them a budget figure and
say the budget needs to drive the strategy, and that's why you need to
cut it down. And we're not going to put them in that position.
Three things: they talk about costs. The reality is it could cost
more to have fewer carriers because they don't take into consideration
the deployment times we're going to put on the backs of our sailors, or
the turnaround time we're going to have, or the increased maintenance
cost.
The second thing they don't look at is the fact that, in 2007, we
were able to meet 90 percent of our combatant commanders' needs through
the Navy. This year we'll only meet 51 percent because of cuts we've
placed on their backs.
But the final thing, Mr. Chairman--and this is the essence of all of
it--they will come in here, and the people who advocate that will say
this is acceptable risk.
Do you know what acceptable risk means to them?
It means how many ships we can lose, how many men and women we can
lose, how much equipment we can lose in a conflict and still have the
potential of winning if every other assumption we've made holds true.
Mr. Chairman, we're committed to changing the definition of
acceptable risk, and saying this: when one of our men and women go into
battle, we're going to make sure we've done everything we can
reasonably do to make sure they have the highest probability possible
of returning to the country they're fighting for and the families that
they love. And you can't do it with fewer than 11 carriers.
That's why we're standing with this, and that's why I hope we will
reject soundly this amendment.
I yield back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentleman from Oregon (Mr. Blumenauer).
The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the noes
appeared to have it.
Mr. BLUMENAUER. Mr. Chair, 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 Oregon will
be postponed.
Amendment No. 3 Offered by Mrs. Lummis
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 3
printed in Part B of House Report 113-108.
Mrs. LUMMIS. 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:
[[Page H3522]]
Page 79, after line 23, insert the following:
SEC. 241. READINESS OF INTERCONTINENTAL BALLISTIC MISSILE
FORCE.
The Secretary of Defense shall preserve each
intercontinental ballistic missile silo that contains a
deployed missile as of the date of the enactment of this Act
in, at minimum, a warm status that enables such silo to--
(1) remain a fully functioning element of the
interconnected and redundant command and control system of
the missile field; and
(2) be made fully operational with a deployed missile.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 260, the gentlewoman
from Wyoming (Mrs. Lummis) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Wyoming.
Mrs. LUMMIS. Mr. Chairman, my amendment is cosponsored by Mr. Daines
of Montana and Mr. Cramer of North Dakota. It would require DOT to
maintain all current 450 intercontinental ballistic missile silos in
warm status.
This amendment would maintain our nuclear triad, where ICBMs, along
with submarines and bombers, work together to complicate and deter any
attempts at a successful first strike on our country and our allies.
China's nuclear arsenal is expanding. Russia and other nuclear states
like Pakistan are modernizing. With inexperienced leaders like Kim Jung
Un in North Korea, now is the time not to reduce our most reliable and
transparent deterrence.
President Obama continues to suggest further reductions in U.S.
nuclear forces beyond the New START Treaty levels and is now bypassing
Congress to negotiate directly with President Putin on additional
unilateral reductions.
It's important for Congress to legislatively require that any final
force structure decisions occur in FY15, as currently planned, and not
be prematurely executed.
The ICBM force is in the final stages of more than a decade-long
effort to replace and modernize critical-mission components. This makes
it extremely cost effective to maintain the Minuteman III fleet over
the next two decades.
This amendment is budget-neutral. It simply keeps silos in warm
status, so as not to take steps backward that would be costly to
reverse at a later date, especially if we encountered unforeseen
geopolitical changes.
Congress needs to weigh in on the importance of maintaining our land-
based forces so the decision is not made without us.
Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from North Dakota
(Mr. Cramer).
Mr. CRAMER. Mr. Chairman, George Washington said:
To be prepared for war is one of the most effective means
of preserving peace.
Besides the United States and the United Kingdom, the rest of the
world has never seriously considered entertaining the idea of
eliminating their nuclear weapons. China, France, India, Iran, North
Korea, Pakistan, and Russia are all engaged in maintaining, expanding,
or modernizing their weapons programs.
We should not continue down the path of reduction and degradation of
our nuclear programs, including this important ICBM force. The cost of
maintaining this force is minor compared to the price tag associated
with rebuilding it should we judge incorrectly.
Now, some will argue that the U.S. taxpayer is funding the
maintenance of weapons never used. I submit, Mr. Chairman, that the
U.S. taxpayer is funding the maintenance of weapons being used every
day, successfully deterring our enemies from launching their own
nuclear weapons.
Mr. Chairman, this amendment will save money and may very well save
our country.
Mrs. LUMMIS. Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. COOPER. Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to the amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Tennessee is recognized for 5
minutes.
Mr. COOPER. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
Mr. Chairman, I have the highest regard for the gentlelady from
Wyoming. She is an outstanding Member of this body. She is doing a
superb job of representing her constituents in Wyoming.
I haven't had the pleasure of really getting to know the other
gentlemen, but it is no secret that these three, the sponsors of the
amendment, each represent an ICBM missile silo field. And these are
wonderful bases in our fine country, but these are also bases that we
should not give a blank check to and allow to flourish in perpetuity.
The Cold War is over. Our men and women in uniform, led by our
generals and admirals, are making some very important decisions about
the best way to structure our triad, not to, in any way, give up on the
triad, but to accommodate such things as, for example, the New START
Treaty, which was overwhelmingly ratified by the other body just a few
years ago.
{time} 1500
There are lots of technical factors having to do with the silo fields
and with the capability of Minuteman III missiles. There are lots of
technical factors having to do with the other elements of our triad.
But I would urge my colleagues to oppose this amendment despite the
fine qualities of the sponsors of this amendment because what's good
for a missile base in Wyoming is not necessarily good for American
defense policy. And while I have the highest admiration for the
gentlelady from Wyoming, we really need to put this in perspective.
This should be seriously considered by our colleagues; and I would
urge them, at this point, to reject the amendment overwhelmingly.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Mrs. LUMMIS. Mr. Chairman, I yield 90 seconds to the gentleman from
Montana (Mr. Daines).
Mr. DAINES. Mr. Chairman, I want to thank Representative Lummis for
her leadership on this critically important issue and show my strong
support for this amendment which I have joined her and our friend from
North Dakota in introducing today.
Our Nation's intercontinental ballistic missiles are a vital
component of our nuclear deterrence strategy to keep the American
people safe from mankind's most dangerous threat. And for several
decades, this ``peace through strength'' policy has worked.
Malmstrom Air Force Base in Great Falls, Montana, is home to 150 of
our Nation's ICBMs. I recently visited Malmstrom and met with the
leaders of the 341st Missile Wing to discuss the importance of our ICBM
mission to our national security. In fact, at the conclusion of the
visit, Colonel Robert Stanley, the commander at Malmstrom, gave me this
commander's coin. The motto embossed on it summarizes why our defense
strategy is effective. And let me read it. It says this:
Scaring the hell out of America's enemies since 1962.
I am grateful for their role in keeping America secure and their
enormous contributions to Montana. I believe it will be deeply unwise
to rewrite our effective policy for peace. Our potential adversaries in
the 21st century may differ from those during the Cold War, but a
comprehensive nuclear deterrence capability will remain crucial to our
national security.
Our amendment requires the Pentagon to keep our ICBM silos in warm
status even as adjustments pursuant to the New START Treaty are made.
It will keep potential adversaries at bay and ensure that our crucial
nuclear force remains flexible and responsive.
I urge all my colleagues to vote for it.
Mr. COOPER. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the ranking member of
the Armed Services Committee, Mr. Smith of Washington.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, there are two very compelling
reasons to oppose this amendment.
First of all, this is, again, not recognizing the reality of
sequestration and the defense budget. The way Congress seems to have
reacted to the reality of the fact that the defense budget has already
been cut substantially and that because of sequestration--which nobody
seems to want to put forward a plan to get rid of or certainly won't
pass the House and the Senate--the defense budget is going to be cut.
So the way Congress reacts is, okay, fine, but I have to protect mine.
Don't close my base, don't shut down a ship, don't shut down a plane,
and don't move anything out of the National Guard.
[[Page H3523]]
All of this is an effort to preserve, in these three States, their
military presence, which means money. And I get that. But the Pentagon
is going to have to reduce their budget. Every time we pass one of
these things that says you can't do this and you can't save money here
and you can't save money there, we are creating a hollow force. The
Pentagon will not have the funds necessary to train our troops to be
ready to perform the missions that we need to if they can't save money
anywhere because Congress has stepped in and said you can't because
it's mine and I don't want to give it up.
The second reason is we have well over 5,000 nuclear weapons. We will
be amply able to scare the living crap out of everybody in the world
for a very long time even if we reduce that somewhat and sensibly.
This amendment just cramps the ability of the Pentagon to make those
types of sensible decisions. It will not eliminate our nuclear
deterrence. Our nuclear deterrence is overwhelming. There is money to
be saved in the nuclear programs. The Pentagon can sensibly do that.
But here comes Congress, again, to say, I have to protect my own, and I
don't care what it does to the budget.
Fiscal conservatives should not support this amendment. We've got to
get our budget in order. We've got to do it logically, and logically is
not ``protect mine and I don't care about the big picture.'' That's not
the way to approach this budget if we're going to have an adequate
national security.
Mrs. LUMMIS. Mr. Speaker, I yield 30 seconds to the gentleman from
Alabama (Mr. Rogers).
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. I thank the gentlelady.
As chairman of the Strategic Forces Subcommittee, I rise in support
of this amendment, and I don't have any silos in Alabama, although I
would like to have some.
One of the things I want people to be cognizant of is we need to
maintain our resiliency as we go through these negotiations. The New
START Treaty does not require these silos be demolished. The fact is,
as we just learned with our ground-based interceptors which President
Obama decided 4 years ago to reduce from 44 to 30, he reversed course
when the world got a little bit more dangerous, and now we're going
back to put those additional 14 GBIs in Fort Greeley.
We never know when the world's landscape is going to change. It is
much more expensive and cumbersome to try to put new silos in than it
is to keep these warm. I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on this
amendment.
Mr. COOPER. Mr. Chairman, how much time do I have remaining?
The Acting CHAIR (Mr. Hultgren). The gentleman from Tennessee has
1\1/2\ minutes remaining. The gentlewoman from Wyoming's time has
expired.
Mr. COOPER. Mr. Chairman, let me close.
Again, I have the highest regard for the gentlelady from Wyoming, but
this is an issue of national importance. We should not allow parochial
concerns to dominate here. She is doing an extraordinary job of
representing her constituents, particularly those of that base. But I
would urge, particularly my colleague from North Dakota, to be aware
that to the extent he preserves these ICBM missile fields, he may be
hurting, unintentionally, his nuclear-capable bomber force. So watch
out. If you're going to be parochial, let's go all the way and be
thoroughly parochial and don't leave part out.
So this is a very important thing. We realize, as Members, we should
put the national interests first. Let's listen to the Air Force, let's
listen to STRATCOM, and let's not make pork-barrel decisions back home
that may benefit us politically but are not in the national interest.
We're all for a strong national defense, and I think there is
overwhelming and bipartisan opposition to this amendment.
So I urge my colleagues to strongly and forcefully oppose it.
Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentlewoman from Wyoming (Mrs. Lummis).
The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes
appeared to have it.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. 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 gentlewoman from Wyoming
will be postponed.
Amendment No. 4 Offered by Mr. Pearce
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 4
printed in Part B of House Report 113-108.
Mr. PEARCE. 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:
Page 93, after line 7, insert the following:
SEC. 267. APPROVAL OF CERTAIN NEW USES OF RESEARCH,
DEVELOPMENT, TEST, AND EVALUATION LAND.
(a) In General.--Notwithstanding any other provision of
law, the Secretary of Defense, or the head of any other
department or agency of the Federal Government, may not
finalize any decision regarding new land use activity on
covered land unless the Secretary concerned approves such
activity in writing.
(b) Definitions.--In this section:
(1) The term ``covered land'' means ranges, test areas, or
other land in the contiguous United States used by the
Secretary of Defense for activities related to research,
development, test, and evaluation that the Secretary
determines, for purposes of this section, to be critical to
national security.
(2) The term ``new land use activity'' means an activity
regarding the use of covered land that--
(A) as of the date of the enactment of this Act, is not
carried out on covered land; and
(B) is carried out by, or in cooperation with, a department
or agency of the Federal Government other than the Department
of Defense.
(3) The term ``Secretary concerned'' has the meaning given
that term in section 101(a)(9) of title 10, United States
Code.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 260, the gentleman
from New Mexico (Mr. Pearce) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from New Mexico.
Mr. PEARCE. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself 1\1/2\ minutes.
Right now, emerging technologies critical to our readiness and the
safety of our soldiers has developed 23 major range and test facilities
within DOD. Recently, a problem has come to our attention, and that
problem plays out in the White Sands Missile Range that's in my
district.
Basically, this center piece of the range is controlled by DOD, the
land and the air above it. These pieces here, the north and the south,
the air is controlled by the Department of Defense, the Secretary of
the Army, but the land is controlled by the BLM. And the BLM recently
has approved an encroachment across this land which threatens 33
percent of the missions in White Sands.
There's a launch facility that is up in this very northern corner,
and we use the entire 140-mile length. It's the largest overland test
base, and we use that to test these new emerging technologies. With the
encroachment, then it endangers fully one-third of the missions of the
base.
So our amendment simply says that no Secretary of any agency should
be able to come in here and put at risk these tests of the 23 different
sites located with DOD and with a split jurisdiction like we have here.
It's a very simple amendment. It simply says that you've got to go
through the process and ask the people here.
With that, I reserve the balance of my time.
{time} 1510
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to the
amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. I yield myself such time as I may consume.
While I understand the importance of the Department of Defense's role
in all this, there are other agencies that also have an important role.
The National Resources Committee minority has expressed concerns
about this because the Bureau of Land Management has their interests,
as well as a bunch of other Federal agencies. So this basically gives
the Department of Defense a veto power over land use. I want to make
sure that the Department of Defense's interests are looked after, but
they're not the only interests that exists in our country. So a proper
balance of those interests I think would be a proper approach.
[[Page H3524]]
This amendment just says Department of Defense basically gets the
ultimate veto, and I think that gives it too much power. So I'd prefer
to see a more balanced approach and oppose the amendment.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. PEARCE. I yield the gentlewoman from Tennessee (Mrs. Black) 1\1/
2\ minutes.
Mrs. BLACK. I thank the gentleman for yielding.
Mr. Chairman, as a cochairman of the Congressional Range and Testing
Center Caucus, I rise in support of Congressman Pearce's amendment to
the National Defense Authorization Act.
The Major Range and Test Facility Base is made up of 23 installations
across the country, including the Arnold Air Force Base based in
Tullahoma, Tennessee. The critical testing and evaluation capabilities
of the installations are truly a national asset vital to our security.
The testing and evaluation performed at these facilities, though often
done behind the scenes, helps to ensure that our men and women in
uniform have the equipment and the technologies they need to defend our
country.
It is vital that we protect these facilities against the various
forms of encroachment that can undermine the effectiveness of their
operation. My colleague's amendment would ensure that any new use of
lands already owned by the Federal Government around these
installations be approved by the Department of Defense.
I urge my colleagues to join me in support of this commonsense
amendment that strengthens our national security.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. PEARCE. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Utah
(Mr. Bishop).
Mr. BISHOP of Utah. I appreciate the invitation from Mr. Pearce.
This problem illustrates a couple of overwhelming problems we have.
One is that agencies don't talk one with another. When the FAA closed
towers down, they put three military bases in a difficult situation
because they didn't talk. When NASA changed its policy on manned space
flight, it increased the cost of our missile defense system because the
agencies flat out didn't talk.
Here is another situation of agencies that simply are not working
together, which illustrates a second reason why, in this bill, when we
try to talk about land, we're not talking about withdrawing land so
that two different agencies have the same land. We're trying to do
transfers of land so one agency can make the decision--in this case, it
should be the military.
Now, as subcommittee chairman for the Public Lands Subcommittee in
the Resources, I want to say I support this amendment, and I would ask
that people would pass this amendment. There may be some areas of
trying to change some of the language to limit the scope of what we are
doing here, which could easily be done in conference if this amendment
is placed on the table in the first place. We already have language in
there that deals with White Sands, but this amendment would have to be
in addition to that.
So I would urge my colleagues to actually vote in favor of this. If
there are some areas that we need to scope down again, we can easily
accomplish that if we have the opportunity of doing so in a conference.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. I continue to reserve the balance of my
time.
Mr. PEARCE. Mr. Chairman, again, the situation is quite simple and
quite transparent. We're just trying to resolve who can make the
decisions on land that is owned by one agency and aerospace owned by
the other.
Nowhere else in the U.S., nowhere else in the world do we have this
long, uninterrupted range in which we can test weapons. The recovery of
the bodies of those weapons gives us great insight into the failures or
the successes. So if we're going to preserve this national asset, this
ability to test new and different weapons, then let's get a clear line
of understanding.
I would urge passage of the amendment and yield back the balance of
my time.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself the balance of
my time and just say I think the gentleman from Utah makes a very
reasonable point. Certainly, one agency shouldn't be shutting something
down that has a negative impact on another without consulting them.
Perhaps if we work on this amendment to figure out some way where
consultation is required, there is some sort of balance. It's just the
way this amendment is written, it gives the Department of Defense the
ability to do what the gentleman from Utah just said the other agency
did, which is just whack it and not talk to anybody else.
So we're happy to continue to work on this going forward. In its
present form, I am still opposed to it.
I yield back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentleman from New Mexico (Mr. Pearce).
The amendment was agreed to.
Amendment No. 5 Offered by Mr. Coffman
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 5
printed in Part B of House Report 113-108.
Mr. COFFMAN. 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:
In section 301, strike ``Funds are hereby authorized'' and
insert the following:
(a) In General.--Funds are hereby authorized
In section 301, add at the end the following:
(b) Funding.--
(1) Increase.--Notwithstanding the amounts specified in the
funding tables in division D, the amount authorized to be
appropriated in section 301 for operation and maintenance, as
specified in the corresponding funding table in section 4301,
is hereby increased by a total of $250,000,000, to alleviate
training and readiness shortfalls, to be derived as follows:
(A) Operation and Maintenance, Army, for Maneuver Units,
Line 010, $85,000,000.
(B) Operation and Maintenance, Army, for Aviation Assets,
Line 060, $35,000,000.
(C) Operation and Maintenance, Navy, for Mission and Other
Flight Operations, Line 010, $32,500,000.
(D) Operation and Maintenance, Navy, for Fleet Air
Training, Line 020, $7,500,000.
(E) Operation and Maintenance, Marine Corps, for
Operational Forces, Line 010, $25,000,000.
(F) Operation and Maintenance, Air Force, for Primary
Combat Forces, Line 010, $65,000,000.
(2) Offset.--Notwithstanding the amounts specified in the
funding tables in division D, the amount authorized to be
appropriated in section 201 for Research, Development, Test,
and Evaluation, Defensewide, as specified in the
corresponding funding table in section 4201 for the Defense
Rapid Innovation Program, is hereby reduced by $250,000,000.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 260, the gentleman
from Colorado (Mr. Coffman) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Colorado.
Mr. COFFMAN. Mr. Chairman, my amendment, No. 208, cuts $250 million
from the Defense Rapid Innovation Program--or commonly called DRIP--and
moves the money to alleviate training and readiness shortfalls.
The DRIP program is a relatively new program started by Congress in
the wake of the earmark ban in 2010. The funding was not requested by
the Department of Defense, and Congress uses the program through DOD to
provide grants to small businesses. The funding can be better applied.
Yesterday, Deputy Defense Secretary Ash Carter said the sequester
hits particularly hard in the operations and maintenance accounts. As a
result, training is hurt and our Nation's military readiness plummets.
This is unacceptable.
But we can't just bemoan this fact; we have to address it. It is our
duty to our men and women in uniform and our Nation's security to
ensure that we spend our defense dollars in the most efficient and
critical way possible. A quarter billion dollars for the DRIP program
is not the wisest use of our tax dollars.
As a former small business owner, I am naturally very protective of
our Nation's small businesses. I understand the pressures they operate
under.
But I am also aware of the effect sequestration is having on our
military's operations and maintenance accounts. We are seeing across-
the-board cuts to vital operational funding. The Air Force grounded 13
squadrons for the year. The Navy has canceled ship deployments and
deferred maintenance. The Army has canceled major training exercises
for the year.
[[Page H3525]]
While I am sure that there have been good results from some of the
spending in the DRIP program, I am sure that this program is
duplicative of many other efforts in the Department of Defense.
There is already $76 million for quick reaction special projects, $62
million for emerging capabilities technology development, $174 million
for joint capability technology demonstrations, and $34 million for the
Defense-Wide Manufacturing Science & Technology program.
There is over $1 billion for Department of Defense Small Business
Innovation Research funding, and so on, DARPA, joint programs, and
technical support programs. Transferring this money will not leave
small businesses or technology development without funding. What it
will do is signal to the American people that we are willing to make
the hard choices necessary to prioritize our men and women in uniform
by supporting the operations and maintenance accounts they rely on,
which are a higher priority than the potential DRIP results.
I repeat, the DRIP program was set up in 2010 as a way to get around
the ban on earmarks. In today's restrictive fiscal climate, we have
higher defense spending priorities that we should fund instead. I ask
for your support for this amendment.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. LARSEN of Washington. I rise in opposition to the amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes.
Mr. LARSEN of Washington. Mr. Chairman, if this amendment passes, we
will strip away one of the main tools that we have in the defense
budget to ensure that small businesses continue to be part of the
defense industrial base.
{time} 1520
The Rapid Innovation Fund was created a couple of years ago in order
to ensure that small businesses that had technology, that had resources
to help the war fighter could get funding to develop that technology to
develop those resources and get service to the warfighter sooner rather
than later.
In 2011 alone, over 3,500 white papers were submitted and evaluated--
proposals for the Rapid Innovation Fund--3,500. Two hundred final
proposals were invited. Out of that total 3,500, 177 awards were made,
95 percent of which went to small businesses, 80 percent to current or
prior SBIR participants; and the average product value of $2.2 million,
awards to companies in 32 States and in the District of Columbia.
This is an important program to help small businesses continue to be
part of the defense industrial base. We should not strip RIF funding
out of the bill. If we are going to deal with operations and
maintenance, let's do what everybody on the committee wants to do:
let's stop the sequester, replace the sequester with something more
balanced to ensure that the O&M accounts, as well as great programs
like RIF, are funded.
With that, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. COFFMAN. Mr. Chairman, every dollar wasted in the defense budget
is a dollar not spent on defending this country. This is not a program
that was ever requested by the Department of Defense. This is a jobs
program. I think, given the fact that the Defense Department is under
incredible stress, that we've got to fund the priorities that our men
and women on the front lines need. And that is putting this $250
million to operations and maintenance--$250 million to the spending
program that is already duplicated in other parts of the Department of
Defense budget.
Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. LARSEN of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I would like to request how
much time I have remaining.
The ACTING CHAIR. The gentleman from Washington has 3\1/2\ minutes.
The gentleman from Colorado has 1\1/2\ minutes.
Mr. LARSEN of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I would like to yield 1
minute to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Shuster).
Mr. SHUSTER. Mr. Chairman, I thank the gentleman for yielding.
I just want to echo what the gentleman from Washington said. This is
an extremely important program to small business that operates in the
defense industrial base. We are making it more and more difficult for
them to operate. This fund, the Rapid Innovation Fund, is just the
solution to keeping them involved in the innovation and coming out with
new products, faster products. So in the long run, this is going to
save money. It is going to have new products the warfighters need. This
fund has been very important to them.
Mr. Larsen and I chaired a panel on this, a panel on business
challenges in the defense industry. We traveled the country listening
to small businesses. This was what they asked for. It was so important
to the development of their products. In fact, when we started this, we
had Secretary Rumsfeld come before the committee and say, when I asked
him, What would you recommend to businesses doing business with the
Department of Defense? And he said, I recommend they don't do business.
It's so difficult. In fact, he said, It's like sleeping with a
hippopotamus. Eventually, it's going to roll over and crush you, and it
will never know that it did it.
This is extremely important to the small business community to keep
them engaged. The big defense contractors need the small folks there
developing and innovating.
I urge a ``no'' vote on the Coffman amendment.
Mr. COFFMAN. Mr. Chairman, the question before us, in an environment
of limited resources, is whether we fund an economic development
program for small business. And as a former small business owner, I
certainly would think under normal circumstances that would be
important. But we're doing it out of the Department of Defense budget,
and we're doing it at the expense of priorities within the Department
of Defense.
The Department of Defense is not asking for this program. What the
Department of Defense is saying is that there are shortages in funding
operations and maintenance. So I believe that it's critically important
to take this $250 million that the Department of Defense is now
requesting and put it into an area where they are requesting.
Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. LARSEN of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the
gentlelady from California (Ms. Sanchez).
Ms. LORETTA SANCHEZ of California. Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition
to this amendment. I understand my colleague's concern with the
shortfall in the Department's operations and maintenance accounts, but
that's really a product of sequestration.
What we are really talking about is innovation here. Innovation
generally doesn't happen in the big companies. It happens in the small
companies, the companies that are able to move quickly so that we get
what we need. That's what the RIF program is about. This is not an
earmark. In fact, just yesterday, the pre-notification for the fiscal
year '13 process was released. It said: ``Any and all companies can put
forward proposals.'' That's not an earmark.
The RIF process contributes to cost savings to the services' training
activities. In fact, the Navy added ``cost reduction'' as a critical
focus area in the fiscal year '12 Rapid Innovation Fund broad agency
announcement. Several of these selected RIF projects actually seek to
reduce operations and maintenance costs to include the cost of
training.
I urge a ``no'' vote on this amendment.
Mr. COFFMAN. Mr. Chairman, how much time do I have remaining?
The ACTING CHAIR. The gentleman from Colorado has 30 seconds
remaining.
Mr. COFFMAN. Mr. Chairman, in this bill, there's already $76 million
for Quick Reaction Special Projects, $62 million for emerging
capabilities technology development, $174 million for joint capability
technology demonstrations, and $34 million for the Defense-Wide
Manufacturing Science and Technology program. The Department of Defense
Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology
Transfer programs spend about $1 billion per year in research and
development funding for our Nation's small technology companies. The
issues that they're talking about are already addressed in multiple
ways; and this is,
[[Page H3526]]
unfortunately, wasteful Pentagon spending that should be cut.
I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. LARSEN of Washington. Mr. Chairman, could I request how much time
I have remaining.
The ACTING CHAIR. The gentleman from Washington has 1\1/2\ minutes
remaining.
Mr. LARSEN of Washington. Thank you. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute
to the gentleman from Rhode Island (Mr. Langevin).
(Mr. LANGEVIN asked and was given permission to revise and extend his
remarks.)
Mr. LANGEVIN. Mr. Chairman, I thank the gentleman for yielding.
While I fully understand and appreciate the gentleman from Colorado's
intention, I must strongly disagree with his amendment, specifically
its choice of offset. Cutting our future to pay for the present is the
very definition of penny-wise and pound-foolish. This amendment would
have a severe negative impact on small businesses in the defense
industry.
The Rapid Innovation Fund was created by the Armed Services
Committee. It is a fully competitive program to facilitate the rapid
insertion of innovative small business technologies and processes into
military systems or programs that meet critical national security needs
of the warfighter. Projects are under way now, and just yesterday the
pre-notification for the FY 13 process was released.
The Rapid Innovation Fund process contributes to the cost savings of
the services' training activities. In fact, the Navy added cost
reduction as a critical focus area in its FY 12 Rapid Innovation Fund
broad agency announcement. Several of the selected RIF projects
actually seek to reduce O&M costs, to include the cost of training.
According to the Department:
RIF has a high return on investment while providing a venue
for the timely, innovative solutions from small businesses to
our near-term challenges.
The ACTING CHAIR. The gentleman from Washington is recognized for 30
seconds.
Mr. LARSEN of Washington. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
In conclusion, I would ask my colleagues to vote ``no'' on this
amendment. I think we have made a good case. I think folks have heard
the argument.
Just a final note. The defense business panel that Mr. Shuster of
Pennsylvania spoke of, we did travel around the country, talking to
small businesses all around the country in many States; and everywhere
we heard that this is the program, the Rapid Innovation Fund is the
program that they see as most valuable. They want us to keep this in
place.
I would ask my colleagues to vote ``no'' on this amendment, and with
that I yield back the balance of my time.

amendment no. 62 offered by ms. brownley of california
Page 232, after line 18, insert the following:
SEC. 555. TRANSITION OF MEMBERS OF THE ARMED FORCES AND THEIR
FAMILIES FROM MILITARY TO CIVILIAN LIFE.
(a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
(1) Members of the Armed Forces and their families make
great sacrifices on behalf of the United States, and, when
their active duty service is successfully concluded, members
deserve the opportunity to also make a successful transition
to the civilian labor force.
(2) When transitioning from active duty in the Armed Forces
to civilian employment, members often face barriers that make
it difficult to fully utilize the skills and training they
gained during their military service.
(3) Members and veterans are too often required to repeat
education or training in order to receive industry
certifications and State occupational licenses, even though
their military training and experience often overlaps with
the certification or licensing requirements.
(4) When members are transferred from military assignment
to military assignment, their spouses often face barriers to
transferring their credentials and to securing employment in
their new location.
(5) More than one million members will make the transition
to civilian life in the coming years.
(6) The Department of Defense established the Military
Credentialing and Licensing Task Force in 2012.
(7) The Joining Forces program, a national initiative to
mobilize all sectors of society to give members of the Armed
Forces and their families the opportunities and support they
have earned, will make it easier for members and their
families to transfer skills learned while the member was
serving in the Armed Forces to civilian employment.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the Federal Government and State governments should
make the transition of a member of the Armed Forces and the
member's spouse from military to civilian life as seamless as
possible by creating opportunities for the member and spouse
to earn, while the member is in the Armed Forces, civilian
occupational credentials and licenses, with an emphasis on
well-paying industries and occupations that have a high
demand for skilled workers, including: manufacturing,
information technology, transportation and logistics, health
care, and emergency medical services;
(2) the Federal Government should assist State governments
in translating military training and experience into credit
towards professional licensure; and
(3) State governments should streamline approaches for
assessing the equivalency of military training and
experience, and accelerate occupational licensing processes
for members, veterans, and their spouses.

amendment no. 130 offered by mr. turner of ohio
Amend section 1244 to read as follows:
SEC. 1244. STATEMENT OF CONGRESS ON DEFENSE COOPERATION WITH
GEORGIA.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) The Republic of Georgia is a highly valued ally of the
United States and has repeatedly demonstrated its commitment
to advancing the mutual interests of both countries,
including the deployment of Georgian forces as part of the
NATO-led International Security Assistance Force in
Afghanistan and the Multi-National Force in Iraq.
(2) The peaceful transfer of power as the result of the
free and fair parliamentary elections in Georgia in October
2012 represents a major accomplishment toward the Georgian
people's creation of a free society and full democracy.
(3) However, since the October 2012 parliamentary elections
the new Georgian Government has taken a series of measures
against former officials and members of the current political
opposition that appear to be motivated by political
considerations.
(4) Over 100 former Georgian Government officials have been
charged with criminal violations since the October 2012
parliamentary elections.
[[Page H3530]]
(5) Similar charges have been filed against members of the
political opposition, including Vano Merabishvili, the
Secretary General of the United National Movement.
(6) The arrest of the leader of an opposition party is
especially troubling, particularly its chilling effect on
political freedom prior to the presidential election
scheduled for October 2013.
(7) The Georgian Government has taken insufficient action
to prevent further violence against members of the United
National Movement and to punish offenders.
(8) These actions call into question the Georgian
Government's continued progress toward the creation of a free
and democratic society in which basic freedoms, including
freedom for political opposition, are guaranteed.
(b) Statement of Congress.--Congress declares that--
(1) the United States remains committed to assisting the
people of Georgia in establishing a free and democratic
society in their country;
(2) the measures taken by the Georgian Government against
former officials and political opponents, apparently in part
motivated by political considerations, may have a significant
negative impact on cooperation between the United States and
Georgia, including efforts to build a stronger relationship
in political, economic, and security matters, as well as
progress on integrating Georgia into international
organizations;
(3) the United States must be unambiguous when democratic
backsliding occurs in a key ally after a peaceful and
democratic transfer of power between political parties; and
(4) the people of the United States and the Members of
Congress express their deepest condolences to the Georgian
people on the tragic loss of seven soldiers of Georgia in a
suicide bombing on June 6, 2013, and the deaths of three
soldiers killed in another suicide bombing on May 13, 2013,
while they were supporting United States and NATO forces in
Afghanistan.

The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 260, the gentleman
from California (Mr. McKeon) and the gentleman from Washington (Mr.
Smith) each will control 10 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from California.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I urge the committee to adopt the
amendments en bloc, all of which have been examined by both the
majority and the minority.
At this time, I yield 1 minute to my friend and colleague, the
gentleman from Florida (Mr. Bilirakis).
Mr. BILIRAKIS. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I rise today in support of my amendment, which would allow disabled
veterans with a service-connected permanent disability rated as
``total'' to travel on military aircraft on a space-available basis.
My amendment would allow disabled veterans, who have bravely served
our country and who have made enormous personal sacrifices that follow
them in their daily lives, to travel through the Space-A program at no
additional cost to the Department of Defense. The space-available
program is a DOD program which allows Active Duty servicemembers, their
families, retirees, and certain others to fill empty seats on DOD
flights. While Active Duty members and their families will remain the
primary beneficiaries of this program in order to assist them with the
rigors of military life, my amendment allows these veterans the same
benefit.
I would like to thank Chairman McKeon and Ranking Member Smith and
their staffs for their assistance in the amendment process.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield 3 minutes to the
gentlelady from Illinois (Ms. Duckworth).
Ms. DUCKWORTH. Mr. Chairman, I rise in support of my amendment, which
will strengthen small business participation in government contracts.
In my district and across the country, small businesses are the
backbone of our economy. Small businesses innovate, know how to operate
on a tight budget and know how to create good-paying jobs. I want small
businesses in places like Elgin, Illinois, to be able to win government
contracts from the Department of Defense because I know they will do
more with taxpayer dollars and provide superior products and services
for our men and women in uniform.
However, the government is lagging behind on awarding contracts to
small businesses. We are not meeting our goal of 23 percent of
contracts going to small businesses, and 23 percent is a pretty low bar
that we should be raising even higher, not be struggling to meet. It is
even more unfortunate that we are also failing to award enough
contracts to women- and veteran-owned small businesses.
My amendment seeks to remedy this problem by asking the Small
Business Administration and Federal agencies to include remediation
plans in their annual reports on small business contracting goals. The
government should explain why it is not meeting its small business
goals. It should identify faulty past practices and propose new
practices to increase small business participation. We need an action
plan to support our small businesses, and my amendment will do just
that.
I thank Chairman McKeon and Ranking Member Smith and the committee
staffs for their help on this amendment, and I urge my colleagues to
support this amendment and our small businesses.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to my friend and
colleague, the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Fitzpatrick).
Mr. FITZPATRICK. I thank the chairman for the opportunity to address
two amendments which are part of this package.
The first is my amendment to protect military tuition assistance, an
important tool for members of the armed services to obtain the
necessary professional development education and to prepare themselves
for the civilian job market upon leaving the service. Last year,
approximately 300,000 servicemembers used tuition assistance to pursue
their educational goals. Unfortunately, last March, the administration
chose to end this program, and it took congressional action to overturn
that decision.
This amendment would prevent even the specter of ending this benefit
from ever happening again. Our soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines
deserve better.
Second, included in this package is an amendment requiring the
Secretary of Defense to conduct a study on veteran-owned small business
contracting and to examine the feasibility of putting a priority on
meeting veteran-owned small business contracting goals first, similar
to a successful program in
[[Page H3531]]
the VA. They will be examining how fair contracting practices for
veteran-owned small businesses could positively affect veteran
unemployment, homelessness and even suicide.
Mr. Chairman, the fact is there are 250,000 servicemembers
transitioning each year from military life to civilian life. One in
seven is self-employed or is a small business owner, and about a
quarter of our veterans say they are interested in starting or in
buying their own small businesses.
They play an important role in our economy. This Congress needs to
help them in the transition and in getting America back to work. So I
would like to thank the chairman and ranking member on the bill, and I
urge support of these amendments.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. I yield 2 minutes to the gentlelady from
Florida (Ms. Frankel).
Ms. FRANKEL of Florida. I am the mother of a United States marine war
veteran, and I remember well the pride my son felt when he put on his
uniform. My constituent, Elisha Morrow, felt the same pride when at age
22 she joined the United States Coast Guard. She started boot camp full
of hope for her future.
That hope quickly turned into humiliation and sorrow as her company
commander became her enemy. First, he ordered her to clean his office,
and he later harassed her with sexual innuendoes and advances night
after night. Feeling hopeless and fearing retribution, Elisha stayed
silent until the commander became more emboldened. He again ordered
another female recruit to his office at night. This time, he ordered
her to remove her clothes and engage in unwanted sex.
Thankfully, the victimized servicewoman was brave enough to pursue
charges, but because it was determined that she was not under physical
threat and that she did not fear for her life, her assailant got away
with the lesser offenses of cruelty and maltreatment and adultery,
instead of being charged with rape.
This is not full justice. When our daughters and our sons put on the
uniform to protect us, the United States, they must be protected to the
utmost extent from such an abuse of power. Mr. Chair, the intention of
this amendment is to do just that.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to my friend and
colleague, the gentleman from Kansas (Mr. Huelskamp).
Mr. HUELSKAMP. I want to thank the chairman for yielding to me. I
appreciate, especially, his efforts on the NDAA last year in which we
were able to add language that would require the Department of Defense
to adopt new regulations to protect the religious liberties of our
military personnel, especially of our brave chaplains.
However, since March and since the adoption of that law, we have sent
three letters to the Department of Defense, asking for progress
updates. The Department has only responded with an acknowledgment that
it has received our letters, but, to date, we are unaware of any
progress. Instead, it seems that secretive meetings continue with
individuals actually opposed to religious liberties.
In light of this delay, my amendment is very simple. It would require
the Department to provide Congress with a report of meetings between
employees and civilians with respect to the development of military
policy related to religious liberty. I encourage my colleagues to
support this amendment.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Texas
(Mr. Cuellar).
Mr. CUELLAR. Mr. Chairman, I rise today to encourage my colleagues to
support my amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act. This
amendment will bring the Department of Defense and other Federal, State
and local agencies together to map out the futures of UAVs.
I first want to thank Chairman McKeon and Ranking Member Smith and
their staffs for their assistance on this important issue. I also want
to thank those who have cosponsored this amendment--Representative Gene
Green, Representative Ted Poe and Chairman Michael McCaul.
{time} 1540
This amendment calls for the Secretary of Defense, in consultation
with the Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Aviation
Administration, to develop and implement plans to review the potential
of joint testing training that might serve the dual purpose of
providing capabilities to the Department of Defense to protect us
abroad and on the international border. This amendment will go a long
way to make sure we utilize all available resources and not waste
taxpayers' money.
I urge all my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on this amendment.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to my friend and
colleague, the gentleman from Oklahoma (Mr. Bridenstine).
Mr. BRIDENSTINE. Mr. Chairman, I'd like to thank my friend from
Kansas (Mr. Huelskamp) for offering amendment No. 236. He is a champion
for religious freedom.
As a Navy pilot with Iraq and Afghanistan combat tours, I am
concerned that senior Air Force officials have taken advice from an
anti-Christian zealot when drafting guidance on culture and standards.
The president of the badly misnamed Military Religious Freedom
Foundation, Mr. Mikey Weinstein, has described Christians as human
monsters and monstrously savage, responsible for racism, bigotry, and
prejudice. He even called the presence of committed Christians in the
military a national security threat comparable to al Qaeda.
Mr. Chairman, we're not asking to approve the military's calendar
appointments, but given this situation, Congress needs to know when the
military meets with anti-Christian fanatics on issues regarding
religious liberty.
With that, I urge my colleagues to support this amendment.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, we have no further speakers.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. As I have no further speakers either, I
yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. McKEON. I encourage our colleagues to support the en bloc
amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. MURPHY of Florida. Mr. Chair, I rise today to offer an amendment
to the National Defense Authorization Act that would address wasteful
government spending on unused and underutilized facilities. The
Department of Defense has hundreds, possibly thousands, of buildings
and structures that it has rated at zero percent utilization. This is
an incredible number of useless facilities that taxpayers are paying to
maintain.
The extent of this wasteful spending, however, is not currently
known, even by the Department itself. My amendment would fix that,
requiring the Department of Defense to disclose just how many of its
facilities are unused or underutilized and how much it is costing
American taxpayers to maintain these facilities. The Department of
Defense would be required to report back to Congress in six months,
explaining what they are doing either to dispose of these wasteful
facilities or increase their utilization.
By forcing the Department of Defense to take a serious look at its
facilities, gather data on how these facilities are managed, and
develop a coherent plan for reducing costs and improving efficiency, my
amendment seeks to eliminate this wasteful government spending.
Unfortunately, the Department of Defense is not the only federal
agency that is currently wasting taxpayer money on maintaining unused
or underutilized facilities. As a whole, the federal government must do
a better job at managing its facilities. At times of record debt,
taxpayers should not continue paying for unused and underused
buildings. That is not good government, and that is not smart spending.
That is why I recently introduced the SAVE Act to root out up to $200
billion in wasteful and duplicative government spending over the next
10 years. This amendment is an extension of one of the 11 common-sense
solutions included in the bipartisan SAVE Act, holding the Department
of Defense accountable for spending taxpayer money on facilities the
Department itself has found to be unused or underutilized.
We all agree that we need to reduce government spending. We should
also all agree that the best place to start is by rooting out waste.
This is a common-sense solution to do just that and I urge my
colleagues on both sides of the aisle to support this amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendments en bloc offered
by the gentleman from California (Mr. McKeon).
The en bloc amendments were agreed to.

Amendment No. 6 Offered by Mr. Turner
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 6
printed in Part B of House Report 113-108.
Mr. TURNER. Mr. Chairman, I have an amendment at the desk.
The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.

The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 260, the gentleman
from Ohio (Mr. Turner) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Ohio.
Mr. TURNER. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
I want to thank Chairman McKeon and Ranking Member Adam Smith for
their efforts. They had given to Representative Tsongas and myself the
task of doing a bipartisan package to address the issue of sexual
assault in the military.
We all know and people have spoken on this House floor eloquently of
the tragedy of the issue of sexual assault in the military. We have to
do something both to change the culture and to change the legislative
regime that affects the prosecution and the prevention of sexual
assault and the protection of victims.
Many times victims report they are revictimized by the system. It is
our effort in changing the system so that the perpetrator fears the
system, not the victim.
There is one other thing that we need to address. Mr. Chairman, many
people have taken this House floor and say we need to go further. The
Turner amendment is what we need to do to go further.
We have put in this bill currently a mandatory minimum, meaning if
you commit a sexual assault, you are subject to a statutory minimum.
That minimum in this bill, unfortunately, is only that you're out of
the military. We want to increase that to include 2 years of
confinement.
Mr. Chairman, 22 States have mandatory minimums that include
confinement, incarceration. Of those 22 States, we took the minimum of
those so that we're not going higher than any State.
But here is the issue, Mr. Chairman, that we need to remedy:
unfortunately, under current law, if you commit a sexual assault on a
base that's in a State that has a mandatory minimum, you might actually
avoid a mandatory minimum. That has happened.
In the case of Marine Corps Gunnery Sergeant Nicholas Howard, he
committed a rape on a 23-year-old woman. He was a recruiter in Alaska.
He was convicted of sexual assault due to DNA testing, and he was found
guilty of first degree sexual assault. He was given a dishonorable
discharge but no jail time. In Alaska, he would have been subject to
incarceration.
Mr. Chairman, we should not have people who are in uniform or on base
committing sexual assaults actually avoid jail time because they're in
the military. We shouldn't have a lower standard.
With that, Mr. Chairman, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to Mrs. Walorski.
Mrs. WALORSKI. Mr. Chairman, I'd like to thank Representative Turner
for giving me this opportunity to speak in favor of his amendment. He's
been a leader on this issue, and I applaud his efforts and commitment
to this cause.
Currently, there's no minimum punishment required when someone is
convicted of military sexual assault. This means a servicemember can be
convicted of a serious crime and receive no punishment. The amendment
will impose a mandatory minimum sentence of 2 years confinement and a
dishonorable discharge for conviction of rape and sexual assault.
Right now, 22 States have mandatory minimum sentences for those
convicted of rape and sexual assault. My State, Indiana, is one of
those States. In Indiana, there's a mandatory sentence of not less than
6 years for rape.
It's inexcusable that servicemembers guilty of the most heinous crime
should be allowed to remain in the military, allowing them to coexist
with victims and potentially commit repeated offenses. Criminals must
receive the full weight of justice for their wrongdoings.
America's sons and daughters deserve protection while serving in the
military and should never feel vulnerable or revictimized after
suffering from any form of sexual assault or misconduct. This amendment
is a much-needed reform that ensures victims receive the justice they
deserve.
Mrs. DAVIS of California. Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman is recognized for 5 minutes.
Mrs. DAVIS of California. Mr. Chairman, I really respect the
gentleman and what he's bringing forward, but the reality is that
mandatory minimums have been shown to actually reduce the incidence of
reporting.
Judges and juries need the ability to decide with discretion and not
strictly by its appearance. Sometimes--and we've seen this many times--
mandatory minimums can have the opposite effect: encouraging jurors to
make a decision based on the potential sentence as opposed to the
facts.
That's why I'm standing in opposition, because we also know that
organizations who have worked very hard to look at this issue worry
that this could go in the wrong direction. Protect our Defenders, which
has been a very strong advocacy group for victims, worries that when a
jury knows that a perpetrator will automatically be dishonorably
discharged, that the jury will be less likely to assign confinement
charges in addition. They need to see the full picture.
So we must take caution to judge every case individually.
As we have additional speakers, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. TURNER. I reserve the balance of my time.
Mrs. DAVIS of California. I'm pleased to yield 3 minutes to the
gentlewoman from Massachusetts (Ms. Tsongas).
Ms. TSONGAS. Mr. Chairman, I value my partnership with Congressman
Turner as cochairs of the Military Sexual Assault Prevention Caucus and
with the legislation we have crafted on combating the horrific crime of
sexual assault in the military.
This year, our work together on the Better Enforcement for Sexual
Assault Free Environments Act, otherwise known as BE SAFE, led to its
incorporation into the NDAA before us today. However, I must take
exception to the amendment before us.
I do agree that we must make sure that all individuals who are
convicted of sexual assault in the military are punished with
confinement--absolutely--but there are many different ideas about the
best way to do that. Some argue that a better approach would be a
system similar to Federal sentencing guidelines, and that's why Mr.
Turner and I wrote a provision in the defense authorization before us
[[Page H3533]]
that requires the Secretary of Defense to provide Congress with a
report on sentencing guidelines and mandatory minimum sentencing
provisions under the UCMJ.
Before we make additional changes to the UCMJ, we need to see this
report. Since we've introduced the BE SAFE Act, we have heard from many
groups. One letter from the National Alliance to End Sexual Violence
says:
Long mandatory minimum sentences can have a chilling effect
on reporting and prosecuting sexual assault in the civilian
system, and the National Alliance to End Sexual Violence does
not recommend them.
We have to listen to these various voices. We cannot afford to take
this risk in the military. Reporting of sexual assault in the military
already happens at abysmal rates. We need more reporting, not less.
Less reporting equals fewer prosecutions, which ultimately will fail to
deter the perpetrators from carrying out this heinous crime.
I urge a ``no'' vote on this amendment.
{time} 1550
Mr. TURNER. Mr. Chairman, how much time do I have remaining?
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Ohio has 2 minutes remaining.
Mr. TURNER. Do I have the right to close, Mr. Chairman?
The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from California has the right to
close.
Mr. TURNER. Mr. Chairman, I appreciate the concern that I have heard
from the other side of the aisle. The issue, I think, comes down to
being in a military uniform should not be a get-out-of-jail-free card.
Basically the state of the law is that if you're in a State that has a
mandatory minimum and you commit a sexual assault or a rape, you're
going to jail. But yet under our law, you could be a member of the
military and commit a sexual assault or rape and be free from
incarceration even if you commit the assault or rape off base.
When we talk about wanting to make certain that we uphold the victims
and make certain that the perpetrator is the person who feels insecure
and threatened by the system, you can't have a system that threatens
the perpetrator when the perpetrator knows that being a man or woman in
uniform or by being on base and a member of the military that you're
subject to a lower standard in conviction and sentencing.
The case we have in Alaska where a member of our military, a member
of the Marine Corps, committed a rape and then received no jail time
whatsoever--no jail time whatsoever--and if he had been off base or if
he been a civilian in Alaska, he would have been subject to a
significant mandatory minimum of incarceration.
When people ask what's different in the military, this is different.
We need a mandatory minimum that says if you commit a sexual assault
and you're convicted, you are out of the military, you are dishonorably
discharged, and you are going to jail. And that mandatory minimum will
be at least 2 years of incarceration.
I was just at a facility where I asked the commanders what had
occurred on their facility with sexual assault, and they reported there
had been a sexual assault and there was currently someone in jail, in
the brig for 7 months. They didn't get a dishonorable discharge. That's
all they got, 7 months. They were going to be out walking among their
fellow men and women, and they will have committed a sexual assault.
That has a chilling effect both on reporting, and it also creates an
environment where people who are perpetrators feel they could be safe.
Our law, this amendment, would make it: you're out, mandatory,
dishonorable discharge, 2 years in prison, and that's it. We urge
support for the Turner amendment.
I yield back the balance of my time.
Mrs. DAVIS of California. I yield 1 minute to the gentlelady from
California (Ms. Loretta Sanchez).
Ms. LORETTA SANCHEZ of California. Mr. Chairman, I thank the ranking
member.
I rise in opposition to this amendment. Congress is of course
outraged over the ongoing cases of sexual assault and sexual harassment
occurring in our military. There's no one in this Chamber who doesn't
believe that criminals should pay for such violent and atrocious crime,
and so I understand why my good colleague on the other side would offer
such an amendment.
I'll say several things. First, I'm pretty much opposed to mandatory
minimum sentences in general. But this base bill, the base bill that
we're considering today, the committee requires the Department of
Defense to provide a report on mandatory minimums and sentencing
guidelines in order to make sure that such sentencing reforms will not
discourage the victims from reporting.
And in addition to that, in the base bill, if you are convicted of
these crimes, you will be dishonorably discharged. So in order to avoid
imposing laws that may harm victims, I urge my colleagues to vote
against this amendment.
Mrs. DAVIS of California. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself the balance of
my time.
This is a complex issue. We know that. I think what we feel is this
further complicates it. I think my colleague has introduced with
Congresswoman Tsongas a bill that does much of what we're talking about
here, but there is an exception in terms of the way that the jury is
able to move forward here. We think that this actually makes sense so
that the decisions that are made are absolutely based on an individual
case and what we can offer in terms of making certain that the
perpetrator is held accountable.
I yield back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Turner).
The amendment was agreed to.
Amendment No. 9 Offered by Mr. Rigell
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 9
printed in Part B of House Report 113-108.
Mr. RIGELL. 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 title III, insert the following:
SEC. 352. MODIFICATION OF TEMPORARY SUSPENSION OF PUBLIC-
PRIVATE COMPETITIONS FOR CONVERSION OF
DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE FUNCTIONS TO CONTRACTOR
PERFORMANCE.
(a) Modification.--Section 325 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 (Public Law 111-84;
123 Stat. 2253) is amended--
(1) in subsection (a), by striking ``Secretary of Defense
submits to the congressional defense committees the
certification required under subsection (d)'' and inserting
``Comptroller General submits to the congressional defense
committees the assessment required under subsection (c)'';
and
(2) by striking subsection (d).
(b) Exemption of Public-private Partnerships.--The
Secretary of Defense may exempt from study or competition
pursuant to Office of Management and Budget Circular A-76
those functions or workloads which are the subject of an
existing public-private partnership.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 260, the gentleman
from Virginia (Mr. Rigell) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Virginia.
Mr. RIGELL. Mr. Chairman, these are very, very challenging fiscal
times. Our deficit continues to grow, and that is putting pressure on
every single line of our Federal budget, including defense. And yet the
world has not become a safer place. So what's clear is we have a duty,
an absolute duty, to invest each and every dollar of our defense
dollars wisely, and that's exactly what my amendment does. It does that
by eliminating a regulation that's holding back competition; and in
doing so, it's hurting the American taxpayer.
When it comes to understanding the value of introducing competition
into things, the American people get it. From groceries to computers,
we know when competition is introduced, good things happen. The prices
go down and the quality goes up.
The same is true, or it should be true, when it comes to the
Department of Defense and the ability of the private sector and the
public sector to compete. President Obama put it this way. He said:
Taxpayers may receive more value for their dollars if not
inherently governmental activities that can be provided
commercially are subject to the forces of competition.
In my service to my district, I'm always looking for commonsense
ideas
[[Page H3534]]
and common ground. On this particular issue, I see both in the
President's statement.
My amendment moves competition forward by eliminating a full
moratorium that Congress has put in place. The Department of Defense
said in 2011 that it wanted that particular moratorium removed so it
could meet its statutory obligation. What is that statutory obligation?
It's this, and this comes right out of their own report and
recommendations:
The Secretary of Defense shall use the least costly form of
personnel consistent with military requirements and other
needs of the Department.
Well, we know that some activities are inherently governmental. For
example, criminal investigations. My amendment has nothing to do with
those types of activities. They should be performed by the Federal
Government. But other activities, Mr. Chairman, for example, janitorial
services, that's not inherently governmental and should be subject to
competition. That's what this amendment opens up. It really isn't
effecting what's known as the 50/50 rule and those core services that
are provided by depots. I believe that the amendment represents both
common sense and common ground. I urge my colleagues to vote for it.
I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Coffman).
Mr. COFFMAN. Mr. Chairman, over the past few years, the prevailing
trend within the Department of Defense has been an overreliance on
Federal employees to perform commercial services. Given our Nation's
need for fiscal austerity, a problem made more acute by mandated
sequester cuts, it is important that Congress provide the Pentagon with
the necessary tools to drive efficiencies and cost savings. Public-
private competitions are one such tool.
Public-private competitions are an effective way of injecting
performance and accountability into government operations. The private
sector constantly competes for new business opportunities. When the
Federal Government performs commercial functions, they, too, should be
required to compete. Unfortunately, Congress has placed a moratorium on
public-private cost competitions, effectively granting monopoly power
to the Federal Government when it comes to providing commercially
available goods and services. We all know that without competition,
both innovation and quality suffer.
The amendment does not mandate the use of public-private
competitions. It simply unlocks an essential tool that the Defense
Department can use to drive cost effectiveness and efficiencies, and
save valuable taxpayer dollars.
Mr. RIGELL. I reserve the balance of my time.
Ms. HANABUSA. Mr. Chairman, I rise to claim the time in opposition to
the Rigell amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Hawaii is recognized for 5
minutes.
{time} 1600
Ms. HANABUSA. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself 1 minute.
Mr. Chairman, the Rigell amendment would lift the current moratorium
on the public-private competition to the A-76 process. Unfortunately,
it is based on very faulty assumptions.
Lifting the moratorium will eliminate the incentives the Department
needs to fix the A-76 process, as well as finish the service contracts
inventory. It's based on the following assumption, which has been
proven to be faulty, that the private contractors, for some reason,
save money; and we know from the program reports that that is not true.
As DOD evaluates the correct balance between civilian and contractor
personnel, it is critical to make sure that our Federal employees, the
strength of our country, the backbone of defense, are protected.
Efficient government requires focused attention on supporting and
strengthening our dedicated Federal workforce and making sure that they
have the tools they need to complete our mission.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. RIGELL. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
I just would respond to the gentlelady. I appreciate her comments.
And I, too, am a strong supporter of our Federal workforce. I just
believe that they can compete and should compete.
This is good for America, good for our ability to defend our great
country, and good for the American taxpayer.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Ms. HANABUSA. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from
Pennsylvania (Mr. Cartwright).
Mr. CARTWRIGHT. Thank you, Representative Hanabusa.
Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to this amendment and in support
of the over 5,000 men and women who work at the Tobyhanna Army Depot
who support our warfighters.
The OMB circular A-76 process, which this amendment seeks to
reinstate, has been prohibited because it's unfair to Federal employees
and wasteful of taxpayer dollars.
The OMB and the Pentagon, who have historically been the biggest
boosters of this process, both acknowledge that A-76 is flawed and they
oppose its revival.
The DOD acknowledges it's still improving its statutorily required
improvements, and it would be rash for us to jump past their internal
procedures for improvement.
Lifting the moratorium would eliminate the incentives the Department
needs to fix the A-76 process, and we would not be doing our jobs if we
rushed to allow a flawed procedure to lay off our dedicated civilian
workforce and, in many cases, hurt the taxpayers in the process.
Mr. RIGELL. Mr. Chairman, I just refuse to agree with the gentleman's
proposition there about laying Federal employees off. This does not
state that, has nothing to do with that, in fact. It just simply says
that this is a tool for the Department of Defense to use. It does not
require public-private competitions to go forward.
I just believe in the Federal worker. I believe in the free market as
well, that competition is a good thing, and it needs to be introduced,
because this is how we will make our defense dollars go as far as they
can possibly go.
I see this as a duty to the American people to advance this
amendment. I ask my colleagues to support it.
I yield back the balance of my time.
Ms. HANABUSA. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from
Utah (Mr. Bishop).
Mr. BISHOP of Utah. Mr. Chairman, even though I appreciate the
efforts and the goals of the gentlemen who are introducing this
amendment, the experience at most of our air logistics centers simply
means that A-76 has brought along delays; and those delays, even if
they're in the form of a study, have caused the work to delay, meaning
the product given to the warfighter is delayed, and the fixed cost
overhead that our depots obviously have faced have to be paid from some
source, which is, indeed, the taxpayer.
A-76 is about low cost and not necessarily best value, which means if
you're dealing with a market system where something goes out there, you
see if it sells or not, that's okay. But you're dealing with military
equipment which must be performed and must be prepared on a timely
basis and in a specific way. And that is why the Department of Defense
and the Office of Management and Budget are both opposing this
amendment, as well as why they halted the process in the first place,
because they found there are structural flaws inherent in this process.
It is better to go about finding a better solution to this, and that
is public-private partnerships, which we are already doing at the air
logistics centers. By taking the creativity of the private sector with
the stability of the public workforce, we actually get the best of both
worlds. That would be far better than tearing this open for a food
fight that would affect the quality of military equipment which is at
stake.
Ms. HANABUSA. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from
North Carolina (Mr. Jones).
Mr. JONES. Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to this amendment. We
fought this issue of the A-76 several years ago in a bipartisan way and
we were able to put it on the shelf for a period of time, and I think
trying to activate it and bring it back is absolutely the wrong thing
to do.
I have Cherry Point Marine Air Station in my district. I have a depot
there with over 4,000 workers. They pick up and go overseas and fight
these wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, leave
[[Page H3535]]
their families back home, and stand right there with the warfighter.
We need to kill this amendment because it is opposed by the OMB, by
the DOD, and there is no reason to reactivate the A-76. It should be
dead and buried.
Ms. HANABUSA. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from
Utah (Mr. Stewart).
Mr. STEWART. Mr. Chairman, I had the honor of serving as a B-1 pilot
in the United States Air Force for 14 years. My last assignment was
working as a liaison between the Air Force and a multitude of private
contractors. And because of this, I saw firsthand the struggles that
the military had in successfully implementing A-76 contract
requirements. I saw it lead to a slowdown in work that was being
performed and, in some cases, actual complete work stoppage.
As a conservative, and I want to be clear on this, I have always
supported free markets and open competition. But markets can only be
free when there's a level playing field, and that is not possible under
the current rules regarding A-76 contracting.
Neither the military nor the private contractors are well-served by a
flawed process that leads to a flawed result, which is the reason why
the Department of Defense has spoken out so strongly against this
amendment.
The Department appreciates the value of A-76 public-private
competition as a tool to help the Department's workforce, and I do as
well. However, the Department has also identified a number of
improvements in policy changes that could lead to implementation before
the moratorium is removed. The Department is working hard to put these
processes in place. Let's give them a little more time to do that.
Ms. HANABUSA. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself the balance of my time.
Mr. Chairman, it is faulty to assume, when the Department of Defense
has not resolved longstanding problems in the A-76 process that have
been identified by the GAO and the DOD, that this is the way to
proceed. We must keep that moratorium on until we are certain that, in
fact, this is in the best interest of the people of our great Nation.
I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. LOEBSACK. Mr. Chair, I rise today in strong opposition to this
amendment.
The current moratorium on the use of A-76 competitions was put in
place under President Bush after the Department of Defense Inspector
General and the non-partisan GAO found significant flaws with the A-76
process, including that the costs of A-76 competitions often exceeded
the estimated savings. Those flaws have not been fixed.
Put simply--lifting the moratorium on A-76 would not save taxpayer
dollars, would not be in the best interest of our military readiness,
and is not supported by the Department of Defense.
In fact, the Department of Defense opposes lifting this moratorium
until the significant problems with these competitions are addressed.
Moreover, as co-chair of the Depot Caucus, I appreciate that this
amendment would exempt public-private partnerships but I'm deeply
concerned that lifting the A-76 moratorium and putting back into place
a severely flawed system would do significant damage to our organic
industrial base, including our arsenals and depots, at a time when it
is critical that we maintain these facilities' capabilities to equip
our troops.
I proudly represent Rock Island Arsenal, where thousands of highly
skilled people work every day to equip our troops. Our organic
industrial base has time and again shown their critical importance to
our men and women in uniform. When our troops on the ground needed
improved armor on their vehicles, it was Rock Island Arsenal that was
able to rapidly produce and field that life-saving armor to protect our
troops. As a military parent, I am thankful that the workforce at Rock
Island Arsenal and in organic industrial base facilities across our
country is there to equip our men and women in uniform.
In addition, I strongly support public-private partnerships between
our organic industrial base and the private sector because they
leverage the skills and capabilities from both sectors to equip our
troops and improve our national security readiness while benefiting the
taxpayer and supporting the highly skilled workforce at our arsenals
and depots.
Conversely, A-76 competitions do not produce best value for the
Department of Defense and our service men and women.
The deeply flawed A-76 process should not be reinstated and I
strongly oppose lifting the moratorium.
For these reasons, I oppose this amendment and urge my colleagues to
join me in voting against it.
The Acting CHAIR (Mr. Simpson). The question is on the amendment
offered by the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Rigell).
The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the noes
appeared to have it.
Mr. RIGELL. 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 Virginia
will be postponed.
Amendment No. 10 Offered by Mr. McGovern
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 10
printed in part B of House Report 113-108.
Mr. McGOVERN. 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:
Strike section 1222 and insert the following:
SEC. 1222. COMPLETION OF ACCELERATED TRANSITION OF UNITED
STATES COMBAT AND MILITARY AND SECURITY
OPERATIONS TO THE GOVERNMENT OF AFGHANISTAN.
(a) In General.--It is the policy of the United States
that, in coordination with the Government of Afghanistan,
North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) member countries,
and other allies in Afghanistan, the President shall--
(1) complete the accelerated transition of United States
combat operations to the Government of Afghanistan by not
later than December 31, 2013;
(2) complete the accelerated transition of United States
military and security operations to the Government of
Afghanistan and redeploy United States Armed Forces from
Afghanistan (including operations involving military and
security-related contractors) by not later than December 31,
2014; and
(3) pursue robust negotiations leading to a political
settlement and reconciliation of the internal conflict in
Afghanistan, to include the Government of Afghanistan, all
interested parties within Afghanistan and with the observance
and support of representatives of donor nations active in
Afghanistan and regional governments and partners in order to
secure a secure and independent Afghanistan and regional
security and stability.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that
should the President determine the necessity to maintain
United States troops in Afghanistan to carry out missions
after December 31, 2014, and such presence and missions
should be authorized by a separate vote of Congress not later
than June 1, 2014.
(c) Rule of Construction.--Nothing in this section shall be
construed so as to limit or prohibit any authority of the
President to--
(1) modify the military strategy, tactics, and operations
of United States Armed Forces as such Armed Forces redeploy
from Afghanistan;
(2) attack Al Qaeda forces wherever such forces are
located;
(3) provide financial support and equipment to the
Government of Afghanistan for the training and supply of
Afghanistan military and security forces; or
(4) gather, provide, and share intelligence with United
States allies operating in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 260, the gentleman
from Massachusetts (Mr. McGovern) and a Member opposed each will
control 5 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Massachusetts.
Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself 1 minute.
Mr. Chairman, the war in Afghanistan has gone on for more than 12
years, the longest war in American history. 2,235 U.S. military
personnel have been killed, over 17,000 have been wounded, and more
will fall before our troops finally come home. The human and financial
costs are staggering; $778 billion on Operation Enduring Freedom,
nearly all of that in Afghanistan, $7.2 billion each and every month.
The President has announced and is implementing a timetable to wind
down U.S. military operations in Afghanistan. He's carrying it out.
This amendment requires the President to stick to his timetable,
accelerate it if he can. And depending on your point of view, this
amendment puts the wind at the President's back, or holds his feet to
the fire, to fulfill the promises he made to our brave troops, their
families, and the American people.
More importantly, it expresses that should U.S. troops be asked to
remain in Afghanistan beyond 2014, then Congress needs to take its
constitutional
[[Page H3536]]
responsibility seriously and hold a specific vote to authorize that
mission and troop presence.
The future and fate of tens of thousands of uniformed men and women
deserve a vote. I ask all my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to
vote ``yes'' on the McGovern-Jones-Smith-Lee-Garamendi amendment.
I reserve the balance of my time.
{time} 1610
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I rise to claim the time in opposition,
although I will not oppose the amendment in its current form.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from California is recognized for 5
minutes.
Mr. McKEON. I yield myself such time as I may consume.
This amendment is a reflection of the President's current policy in
Afghanistan. My concerns about the President's Afghanistan policy are
well documented. I do not believe we should have given our enemies the
comfort of a date certain for our withdrawal. I believe the commander
in chief should only commit our troops to combat if he is committed to
getting the job done right.
Notwithstanding my underlying concerns, I must acknowledge the
amendment articulates a policy that reflects the President's current
policy.
I look forward to working with the sponsors of this amendment to
further perfect the language going forward. In particular, I note that
the amendment expresses the sense of Congress that a post-2014 troop
presence should be authorized by a vote in Congress. This Congressman
does not agree with that assertion. The Congress does not vote on
Status of Forces Agreements with other countries. They are not defense
treaties. It would be bad policy and a bad precedent to treat
Afghanistan any differently. Moreover, the underlying bill takes
meaningful steps to ensure any Bilateral Security Agreement with
Afghanistan protects U.S. interests and our troops' ability to defend
themselves.
This is not a trivial issue. Our vital national security interests
are at stake during this delicate time period in Afghanistan. My
position is unchanged. The transition of the mission should be based
upon the conditions on the ground and the input of our commanders. I,
for one, hope that the President's decisionmaking process is not based
on a non-binding restatement of his current policies. Rather, I hope
his decisionmaking is commensurate with the national security interests
at stake.
I look forward to working with the gentleman further and reserve the
balance of my time.
Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Chairman, at this time, it's my pleasure to yield
1\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman from North Carolina (Mr. Jones), a
cosponsor.
Mr. JONES. Mr. Chairman, it's been said before, we have been in
Afghanistan for 12 years. We in Congress should have the opportunity to
vote ``yes'' or ``no'' on any commitment of troops after 2014.
As a former Commandant of the United States Marine Corps who agrees
with my opinion that we should withdraw our troops from Afghanistan
said to me, and I quote the Commandant:
What do we say to the mother and father--to the wife--of
the last marine or soldier killed to support a corrupt
government and a corrupt leader in a war that cannot be won?
Mr. Chairman, Congress has neglected this war for far too long. We
should not allow another American to die in Afghanistan unless we vote
on the policy.
The American people want our troops out. The American people know
that Afghanistan is a failed policy. The American people do not want
any more blood or any more treasure to be spent in Afghanistan.
I join my friend from Massachusetts and my other friends: please vote
for this amendment offered by Mr. McGovern, myself, and others. It is
the right thing to do for our military, it's the right thing to do for
our Nation, and it is our constitutional responsibility.
Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Chairman, I'm privileged to now yield 1\1/2\
minutes to the ranking member of the Armed Services Committee, Mr.
Smith.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. I thank the gentleman from Massachusetts for
his leadership on this issue.
My opinion is that we have done what we can do in Afghanistan. A
substantial portion of the mission, which was very clear, was to try to
contain the Taliban and contain al Qaeda so they could never again use
it as a base to attack our country. And it is not easy work. As Mr.
Jones pointed out, and others, there are many, many problems and
challenges in Afghanistan, not the least of which is the corruption
within the government.
Our goal has always been clear: whatever the minimum is to get a
government that can stand and deny a safe haven to those who threaten
America. That was a fight worth doing. But we have done what we can do.
We have trained hundreds of thousands of Afghan national security
forces, and it is time to turn that responsibility over to Afghanistan.
It will always be a challenging part of the world. In both
Afghanistan and Pakistan, violent extremists are abundant, and we'll
have to keep an eye on it. But we do not need to have the troop levels
that we have now. We need to draw down in a very responsible way, and I
think the gentleman's amendment lays out a plan to do that.
Therefore, I support it, and, again, I support him for his efforts to
get us out of Afghanistan as soon as we responsibly can.
Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Chairman, how much time remains?
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Massachusetts has 1\3/4\ minutes
remaining.
Mr. McGOVERN. I yield 30 seconds to the gentleman from California
(Mr. Rohrabacher).
Mr. ROHRABACHER. Keeping our troops in Afghanistan any longer than
they have to absolutely be there is a disservice to those people who
are protecting our country. They are now doing what we said they would
do once we have announced that we were leaving: they're picking our
people off. How do we explain to those parents who are losing their
children in the next few months?
Let's not send any more over there, and if we do, let's make sure
that it's a decision made by the House of the people rather than just
by a clique someplace in the Pentagon or elsewhere. We need to make
sure that we're watching out for our troops, and I think that this is
the best amendment that would do just that.
Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Chairman, I will close. I yield myself the
remaining time.
Mr. Chairman, hundreds of billions of dollars and tens of thousands
of U.S.-NATO allies and Afghan lives have been lost. It is time to end
the war in Afghanistan, bring our troops home, and take seriously our
duty as a Congress to specifically authorize any mission and troop
presence beyond 2014.
We are not bystanders in this war. We are responsible for sending
thousands and thousands of men and women over into Afghanistan. The
least we can do is take seriously our duty as a Congress and authorize
any mission and troop presence beyond 2014.
Members of Congress ought to go on record as to where they stand on
this. We owe it to our troops, and we owe it to their families and the
American people. I urge my colleagues to support the McGovern-Jones-
Smith amendment on Afghanistan and send a signal to the administration
and to others that we take our responsibility in this matter very
seriously. We will have a vote if this war goes beyond what the
President has stated.
With that, Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, at this time, I yield the balance of my
time to the gentleman from Texas, the vice chairman of the committee,
Mr. Thornberry.
Mr. THORNBERRY. I thank the chairman for yielding.
Mr. Chairman, I would simply want to point out that Members have a
variety of opinions about Afghanistan, and a number of Members have
come to the floor to voice their opinion that we ought to leave
Afghanistan. I understand that. That's not what this amendment says.
This amendment basically restates the President's policy with regard to
Afghanistan, and then, as the gentleman from Massachusetts said, it
says Congress ought to exercise its responsibilities under the
Constitution.
Now, we can do that in a variety of ways. We can have oversight
hearings,
[[Page H3537]]
and we can have amendments dealing with funding. And we've had those
sorts of things before. But the point is that some of the rhetoric
doesn't match the amendment. As the chairman pointed out, the
underlying bill tries to encourage a Bilateral Security Agreement so
that looking ahead beyond 2014, it is very important to many of us that
any American troops who are remaining in Afghanistan have the
protections that they should have under such an agreement. So the
underlying bill has a fence on some of the funding going to Afghanistan
until there is that sort of Bilateral Security Agreement.
So the point is, moving ahead beyond 2014, there are lots of unknowns
at this stage. We're trying to help shape it in a way that is
beneficial for our security but also protects our troops. But the
underlying amendment, to get back to what's before us, basically
restates the President's position and says that Congress ought to
exercise its responsibilities. I think that's true. Meanwhile, Members
can have their own opinions about Afghanistan and what should happen
between now and then.
I yield back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. McGovern).
The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes
appeared to have it.
Mr. McGOVERN. 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
Massachusetts will be postponed.
Amendment No. 11 Offered by Mr. Goodlatte
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 11
printed in part B of House Report 113-108.
Mr. GOODLATTE. Mr. Chairman, I offer amendment No. 11.
The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:
At the end of subtitle D of title X, add the following:
SEC. 10__. PROCEDURES GOVERNING UNITED STATES CITIZENS
APPREHENDED INSIDE THE UNITED STATES PURSUANT
TO THE AUTHORIZATION FOR USE OF MILITARY FORCE.
(a) Availability of Writ of Habeas Corpus.--Nothing in the
Authorization for Use of Military Force (Public Law 107-40;
50 U.S.C. 1541 note), or any other law, shall be construed to
deny the availability of the writ of habeas corpus to any
United States citizen apprehended inside the United States
pursuant to the Authorization for Use of Military Force
(Public Law 107-40; 50 U.S.C. 1541 note).
(b) Procedures.--In any habeas proceeding brought by a
United States citizen apprehended inside the United States
pursuant to the Authorization for Use of Military Force
(Public Law 107-40; 50 U.S.C. 1541 note), the government
shall have the burden of proving by clear and convincing
evidence that such citizen is an unprivileged enemy
belligerent and there shall be no presumption that any
evidence presented by the government as justification for the
apprehension and subsequent detention is accurate and
authentic.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 260, the gentleman
from Virginia (Mr. Goodlatte) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Virginia.
{time} 1620
Mr. GOODLATTE. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may
consume.
On September 18, 2001, Congress enacted the Authorization for the Use
of Military Force, which empowered the President to ``use all necessary
and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons
he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist
attacks,'' in order to prevent ``any future acts of international
terrorism against the United States.''
Section 1021 of the fiscal year 2012 National Defense Authorization
Act reaffirms the President's authority to detain so-called ``enemy
combatants'' by ``affirming that the authority of the President to use
all necessary and appropriate force pursuant to the Authorization for
Use of Military Force includes the authority for the Armed Forces of
the United States to detain covered persons pending disposition under
the law of war.''
A number of Members from both sides of the aisle have expressed
extreme discomfort and even outrage at the notion that a United States
citizen apprehended on United States soil can potentially be held
indefinitely under this act. To that end, I supported an amendment to
the fiscal year 2013 National Defense Authorization Act that reaffirmed
the availability of the writ of habeas corpus for any person detained
in the United States pursuant to the 2001 AUMF or the fiscal year 2012
NDAA.
While this provision was a step in the right direction, many would
view the current habeas proceedings as unfair to the petitioner. For
instance, the government enjoys a rebuttable presumption that its
evidence is accurate and authentic, and it must only prove its case by
a preponderance of the evidence. To most Americans, this would not seem
to be a fair fight. For United States citizens, the burden should be on
the government to prove that the detainee is an enemy belligerent. U.S.
citizens should not be put in a position to prove that they are not a
terrorist.
Today, with this amendment, I want to make clear that nothing in the
AUMF or the fiscal year 2012 NDAA--or any other law for that matter--
can be construed to deny the great writ of habeas corpus.
Further, this amendment requires that in habeas proceedings for
United States citizens apprehended in the United States pursuant to the
AUMF, the government must prove by clear and convincing evidence that
the citizen is an unprivileged enemy combatant, and there is no
presumption that the government's evidence is accurate and authentic.
This is an important amendment that should alleviate any of the well-
founded concerns of the American people concerning the possibility of
indefinite detention of United States citizens. The presumption of
innocence until proven guilty will be preserved by adopting this
amendment.
I want to thank the chairman of the Armed Services Committee for
supporting this amendment. I appreciate his commitment to ensuring that
this language stays in the bill as it moves through the legislative
process.
I urge my colleagues to support this amendment, and I reserve the
balance of my time.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. I rise to claim the time in opposition.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. I yield myself 2 minutes.
Mr. Chairman, make no mistake about it, even with this amendment, the
President of the United States and the Department of Justice will still
have the ability to indefinitely detain people captured in the U.S.--be
they U.S. citizens or not--without the normal due process of law.
Habeas will be available, but even with this increased standard, it is
a very minimum standard; and it does not afford the normal article III
court rights that are in the Constitution for everybody else. The
President will still have the ability to indefinitely detain people
here in the U.S.
This amendment is insufficient, first of all, to deal with the
concerns that I think people legitimately have about excessive
executive power over people in the U.S. The Executive will continue to
maintain, under the Authorization for the Use of Military Force, the
ability to indefinitely detain anyone who is deemed to be a covered
person, an enemy combatant; and, yes, it is a slightly higher standard,
but it is not the beyond-a-reasonable standard that is normally
required to incarcerate somebody.
The President doesn't need this power. President Obama has never
exercised it. President Bush only briefly exercised it in three
instances. He doesn't need the power. But to keep it on the books is a
threat to liberty and a threat to freedom here in the U.S.
The specific problem with this amendment is it carves out U.S.
citizens, whereas the constitutional protections--and deliberately--
were for any person. If you read the Constitution and the Bill of
Rights, it doesn't say any U.S. citizen. It says any person.
Now, on habeas, you will have two different standards. You will have
the standard to hold a noncitizen--which will be, I gather, still the
preponderance of the evidence. The government
[[Page H3538]]
will still have the presumption that what they're saying is true, but
for a U.S. citizen you will have a different standard. That really
messes with the Constitution.
There's a very simple way to do this. I will have an amendment in a
couple of amendments that gets rid of the ability to indefinitely
detain anyone captured in the U.S.--straight forward, no question, no
weasel words, no back and forth between U.S. citizens and not. It gets
rid of indefinite detention.
I would urge support for that amendment and opposition to this one,
and I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. GOODLATTE. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself 1 minute. I want to
respond to the gentleman.
First of all, the contention that there is no distinction drawn
between United States citizens and noncitizens in the context of the
Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution, the Supreme Court
has held that the Fourth Amendment does not operate to protect all
citizens regardless of their connections to American society. So the 9/
11 hijackers are not in the same status as individuals in this country
who are citizens of the United States. Rather, the Fourth Amendment
operates only to protect the class of persons who are part of a
national community or who have otherwise developed sufficient
connection with this country to be considered part of that community.
The farther that an individual is removed from such community, then the
weaker the claim he has to constitutional protection.
I agree with the gentleman that rewriting the Authorization for Use
of Military Force and extending this protection, particularly as it
pertains to the United States citizens, greater should be done; but
what the gentleman wants to do does not have the kind of strong
bipartisan support that's necessary to pass the House. This amendment
does, and I urge my colleagues to support it.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the
gentleman from New York (Mr. Nadler).
Mr. NADLER. Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to this amendment. Mr.
Goodlatte and Chairman Smith and I are in agreement, I think, on the
goal, though I think the three of us mutually disagree on elements of
this amendment.
The amendment, while intended to enhance protections for U.S.
citizens, in fact does the opposite. Right now, Americans on U.S. soil
cannot be detained indefinitely without charge or trial. Rather than
affirming this fundamental principle, the amendment implicitly
authorizes the military to detain Americans on U.S. soil indefinitely
by premising its protection on the mistaken assertion that the AUMF,
the Authorization for Military Force, allows such detention--which I
disagree with Chairman Smith, it does not. No such authority exists.
The AUMF does not grant this authority, and we should do nothing to
suggest otherwise. In fact, we should be taking clear and immediate
steps to ban indefinite military detention altogether. The Smith-Gibson
amendment, which I support, takes a good first step in doing this by
prohibiting the detention without charge of any person arrested or
detained in the United States.
We should also pass my No Detention Without Charge Act, which would
cure the problem altogether by preventing indefinite detention without
charge or trial for all persons in U.S. custody, at home or overseas.
Secondly, this amendment would create greater uncertainty in habeas
corpus cases and raises significant constitutional concerns. The
amendment seeks to raise the burden on the U.S. Government to prove
that a U.S. citizen is an unprivileged enemy belligerent. But that is
not the same as requiring proof that the person is being lawfully
detained, which is what habeas corpus is designed to do.
The creation of a two-tiered habeas system with one set of standards
for U.S. citizens and different, lesser standards for noncitizens
raises very troubling constitutional concerns. Our Constitution simply
does not permit us to permit greater basic due process rights based
solely on citizenship.
Although the chairman, Mr. Goodlatte, is right in citing the case
that he cited, he talked about connection with the United States.
Someone who is in the United States--physically in the United States--
and is arrested there has the same constitutional Fourth Amendment
protections as an American citizen.
Any changes to habeas protections should be studied carefully through
regular order, not through rushed attachments to the defense
authorization act. Passing this amendment would be a serious and
dangerous mistake. I urge my colleagues to vote against it.
Mr. GOODLATTE. Mr. Chairman, may I ask how much time each side has
remaining.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Virginia has 1 minute remaining.
The gentleman from Washington has 1 minute remaining.
Mr. GOODLATTE. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself the balance of my time to
say to the gentleman from New York, you cause the Members of the
Congress to have a Hobson's choice of having to choose to give the
protection to every single person in the United States--including the
9/11 hijackers and others--or you have the opportunity to choose to
give it clearly to United States citizens who clearly are entitled to
have it.
You do not have the ability, with your amendment, to draw that line
between those who are lawfully present in the United States and would
be entitled, and those who do not. As a result of that, I would urge my
colleagues to oppose the amendment that the gentleman describes and
support this amendment, which will advance the cause of giving United
States citizens greater protections, reversing the burden of proof,
putting that burden on the government--which is, after all, the
American way. It is, after all, what the Bill of Rights provides.
You have to show that in order to convict a United States citizen in
our courts--or certainly in an article III court--and it should be in
these military tribunals--the burden of proof on government to do that
and do it by a higher standard than they have to under the law that
exists right now in the AUMF, which is only reasonable proof, not clear
and convincing as this amendment requires.
I urge my colleagues to support this amendment as the best way to
move forward in protecting the rights of American citizens.
I yield back the balance of my time.
{time} 1630
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield the balance of my time
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 share with the author of this amendment
the goal of clarifying and strengthening the time-honored writ of
habeas corpus for all American citizens. But my concern is that
sometimes by omission we limit people's rights.
This amendment is very carefully, but narrowly, drawn in such a way
it begs questions about the exclusion of those outside the ambit of
this amendment and their rights. The gentleman, I know in good faith,
is trying to promulgate an amendment that broadens the right of the
writ of habeas corpus. But I think when compared with the Smith-Gibson
language that this modifies, that it raises by omission an intention of
the Congress to narrow the right of habeas corpus. So although it is
not the gentleman's intent, I believe it is the effect of this
amendment.
Those who believe that the right of habeas should be strengthened and
broadened, I believe should oppose this amendment and support the
underlying language as I, in fact, do.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Goodlatte).
The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes
appeared to have it.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. 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 Washington
will be postponed.
Amendment No. 12 Offered by Mr. Radel
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 12
printed in part B of House Report 113-108.
Mr. RADEL. Mr. Chairman, I have an amendment at the desk.
[[Page H3539]]
The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:
Page 442, after line 9, insert the following:
SEC. 1080. REPORT ON UNITED STATES CITIZENS SUBJECT TO
MILITARY DETENTION.
(a) Report Required.--The Secretary of Defense shall submit
to Congress an annual report on United States citizens
subject to military detention. Such report shall include, for
the period covered by the report, each of the following:
(1) The name of each United States citizen subject to
military detention during such period.
(2) The legal justification for such detention of such
citizen.
(3) The steps taken to provide judicial process for or to
release each such citizen.
(b) Form of Report.--The report required by subsection (a)
shall be in unclassified form but may contain a classified
annex.
(c) Availability of Report.--The report submitted under
subsection (a) shall be made available to all members of
Congress.
(d) Savings Clause.--Nothing in this section shall be
construed to authorize or express approval for subjecting
United States citizens to military detention.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 260, the gentleman
from Florida (Mr. Radel) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Florida.
Mr. RADEL. Mr. Chairman, for too long, and at the hands of both
parties, the White House has been operating with secret memos and
behind closed doors hidden from you. This is why we are offering this
amendment requiring the Department of Defense to submit an annual
report to Congress which basically goes over who, why, and what.
Who? The names of any U.S. citizens subject to military detention.
Why? The legal justification for their detention.
What? The steps the executive branch is taking to either provide them
some sort of judicial process or the path of possible release.
Now, this amendment requires that an unclassified version of the
report be made available to every Member of Congress. This amendment
shines light where there has been darkness in this country, ensuring
freedom, liberty, and justice for all.
While there is a legitimate need that we recognize that the
government protects us from terrorism, we almost always must ensure--we
must ensure--that Americans' rights to their due process and their day
in court are always, always protected. You need to be guaranteed that
your government is looking out for your rights.
Upon our founding, every American was guaranteed fundamental God-
given rights that cannot be taken away by the government. These
amendments ensure that these rights are safeguarded.
I yield such time as he may consume to the gentleman from Arizona
(Mr. Salmon).
Mr. SALMON. Mr. Chairman, this little document here, the Constitution
of the United States, is something that we all cherish, something when
we were all sworn in we raised our right arm to the square and we said
that we would uphold this document. It is the framework this Nation is
built upon. There are certain unalienable rights that are created in
that document that we just can't waive away.
Some concerns about these rights are embedded in this bill. I have
real concerns about American citizens being detained for an unspecified
amount of time. I believe that this amendment goes a long way toward
shedding the light, the light of transparency, on how these American
citizens are handled. I think that's the very least that we can do as a
body to make sure that our people's fundamental rights of freedom are
protected.
One of the great leaders and Founding Fathers of this Nation,
Benjamin Franklin, once said:
Those who are willing to trade their freedom for security
deserve neither and shall probably lose both.
Mr. RADEL. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
Parliamentary Inquiry
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I have a parliamentary
inquiry.
The ACTING CHAIR. The gentleman will state it.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. This has happened a couple of times.
Isn't it the normal order that one person speaks, then they reserve,
and then the opposition speaks? A couple of times they just moved on to
their next speaker and have gone through. As I understand it
parliamentarily, that is not the way it is supposed to happen.
The ACTING CHAIR. That is the normal pattern of alternation, but
recognition is within the discretion of the Chair.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. At the discretion of the Chair. That's fine.
Mr. Chairman, I rise to claim the time in opposition, even though 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. Mr. Chairman, I appreciate the opportunity
to speak. I think it is very straightforward. Certainly we should
acknowledge and have this bit of information made available to us, and
I don't oppose that.
I just want to take the time to raise the issue of the next
amendment--the Smith-Gibson amendment--that's coming up on this whole
broader issue. This is a very simple, straightforward debate, that is,
the militarization of U.S. law enforcement.
That's really what we're concerned about with indefinite detention.
There are some who believe that any terrorist act committed within the
U.S., that the U.S. military should basically take over. You should
have indefinite detention; you should basically get rid of the normal
due process contained in the Constitution.
I think that is dangerous, wrong, and wholly unnecessary. I think the
U.S. Constitution and the Department of Justice have proven themselves
more than capable of investigating, capturing, prosecuting, trying,
convicting, and incarcerating all the terrorists in the U.S.; and I
think it is a dangerous step towards executive and military power to
allow things like indefinite detention under military control within
the U.S.
That's the heart and the essence of this issue. We are dancing around
the U.S. citizen question. I take Mr. Goodlatte at his word. I believe
that the Constitution doesn't apply to everybody, but it doesn't just
apply to U.S. citizens either, as he acknowledged. It applies to U.S.
persons, broadly speaking, people who have a connection to this
country. We shouldn't just protect U.S. citizens; we should protect
U.S. persons under that constitutional definition.
In a very straightforward way, do you believe the President of the
United States should have the power to indefinitely detain people
captured within the U.S. without the normal due process of law? I
don't, and honestly I don't think most Americans do, and I don't think
most Members of Congress do. We have gotten bogged down in different
little subpieces of the debate and U.S. citizens and who counts and who
doesn't count.
But the fundamental question is, Do you believe that the President
should have the power to indefinitely detain people captured in the
U.S. without normal due process of law? If you don't, if you are
concerned about that executive power, then the only way to take that
out of our law is to vote for Smith-Gibson. The rest of this just sort
of moves it around on the edges, but very clearly leaves that power
with the President, a power I don't think that he should have.
With that, I yield back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentleman from Florida (Mr. Radel).
The amendment was agreed to.
Amendment No. 13 Offered by Mr. Smith of Washington
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 13
printed in part B of House Report 113-108.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I offer an amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:
Page 405, after line 9, insert the following:
SEC. 1040B. DISPOSITION OF COVERED PERSONS DETAINED IN THE
UNITED STATES PURSUANT TO THE AUTHORIZATION FOR
USE OF MILITARY FORCE.
(a) Short Title.--This section may be cited as the ``Due
Process and Military Detention Amendments Act''.
(b) Disposition.--Section 1021 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal
[[Page H3540]]
Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81; 125 Stat. 1562; 10 U.S.C. 801
note) is amended--
(1) in subsection (c), by striking ``The disposition'' and
inserting ``Except as provided in subsection (g), the
disposition''; and
(2) by adding at the end the following new subsections:
``(g) Disposition of Persons Detained in the United

``(1) Persons detained pursuant to the authorization for
use of military force or the fiscal year 2012 national
defense authorization act.--In the case of a covered person
who is detained in the United States, or a territory or
possession of the United States, pursuant to the
Authorization for Use of Military Force or this Act,
disposition under the law of war shall occur immediately upon
the person coming into custody of the Federal Government and
shall only mean the immediate transfer of the person for

appropriate State court. Such trial and proceedings shall
have all the due process as provided for under the
Constitution of the United States.
``(2) Prohibition on transfer to military custody.--No

The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 260, the gentleman
from Washington (Mr. Smith) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Washington.
{time} 1640
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the
gentleman from New York (Mr. Nadler).
Mr. NADLER. I thank the gentleman for yielding.
I rise in strong support of the Smith-Gibson amendment.
When we considered the fiscal year 2012 version of this bill, I
argued in opposition to sections 1021 and 1022. I argued then--and I
still believe now--that these provisions go far beyond the AUMF to
suggest that the President has the authority to detain even U.S.
citizens without charge indefinitely. The AUMF gives the President no
such authority.
Clearly, we must roll back these provisions. The Smith-Gibson
amendment prohibits the detention without charge of any person arrested
or detained in the United States, and it is the first step towards
restoring the due process of law. It is a good first step, but the
scope is limited to U.S. soil and to the present AUMF. We should do
more.
That's why I've introduced the No Detention Without Charge Act, which
would apply to all persons in U.S. custody--at home and overseas--and
to all Authorizations to Use Military Force--present and future. It not
only prohibits detention without charge of people arrested in the
United States, but it also prohibits the detention of any person
anywhere, except to the extent permitted by the Constitution and the
law of war, and it restores a meaningful right of action for detainees
to challenge the legality of the detentions.
The notion that the United States ought to conduct itself according
to the Constitution and the law of war should not be controversial.
Smith-Gibson takes the first step, and I have proposed the next, which
is towards affirming our values and securing our liberty. This
clarifies that the AUMF does not give any President the authority to
detain people without the due process of law and to detain them
indefinitely.
I urge my colleagues to support this amendment and to sign on as
cosponsors of my bill but to, right now, support the Smith-Gibson
amendment.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I rise to claim the time in opposition.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from California is recognized for 5
minutes.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to my friend and
colleague, the chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, the
gentleman from Texas (Mr. McCaul).
Mr. McCAUL. I thank the gentleman from California, my fellow
chairman.
I rise in opposition to this amendment. As the terrorist attacks in
Benghazi and Boston demonstrate, our fight against those who mean us
harm and those they inspire is far from over.
This amendment is of questionable constitutional standing as it seeks
to deprive any President of lawful options that he needs to protect
America; it hinders our ability to gather information; and it actually
provides an incentive for terrorists to come here to attack us. It
prohibits the President from ever detaining anyone in the United
States, including a foreign terrorist, under the authority of the 2001
Authorization for Use of Military Force.
This amendment requires that foreign terrorists could only be
prosecuted in civilian courts. But what if they could not be
successfully prosecuted? Currently, there are detainees in Guantanamo
who are too dangerous to release but who are not prosecutable. Under
this amendment, if similarly situated terrorists were captured here at
home, they would have to be released. Our experience in trying to
deport illegal aliens whose native lands refuse to accept their return
demonstrates the untenable position this amendment would leave us in.
If we can't use the AUMF to hold detainees and if we can't
successfully prosecute them in a civilian court, then what can we do?
The amendment ignores the reality of the threats that we face every
day.
Consistent with the laws of war, we have long recognized the
authority to detain enemy combatants for the duration of hostilities.
In the 2004 Hamdi decision, the Supreme Court reaffirmed the authority
to detain a U.S. citizen captured fighting with the Taliban and who was
later detained in the United States, and that such detainees have the
right to challenge their detentions. Then the 2012 NDAA reaffirmed the
detention authority provided by the 2001 AUMF as well as the right to
habeas corpus determinations.
The amendment overturns established legal precedent as well as
undermines the statutory support for the AUMF. It does not make us
safer, and it increases our peril. I urge my colleagues to vote against
it.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the
gentleman from New York (Mr. Gibson).
Mr. GIBSON. I thank the gentleman from Washington. I am honored to be
offering this amendment with him.
From our Bill of Rights, the Fifth Amendment: no person shall be
deprived of life, liberty or property without due process. From our
Sixth Amendment: the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and
public trial.
That is the supreme law of the land.
Evidently, we have some ambiguity based out of the 2001 AUMF. So,
clearly, we need to offer this amendment here today, and I rise in
strong support of it.
We think about the founding in that period, shortly after the
Revolution, and remember the fact that we had Americans who at the time
did not support the Revolution. There were a lot of hard feelings in
the immediate aftermath of the war, but the one thing that united
everyone was the way that we arrayed our institutions--to check
absolute power--and, further, to check the power between the Federal
and the State governments. Of course, underpinning all of that was the
Bill of Rights, the Bill of Rights that unites all of us--united us
then, unites us now.
That's why I think it is very important that we bring clarity to this
matter, that we pass Smith-Gibson and that we ensure that we bring
clarity to the situation, which is that our Bill of Rights is the
supreme law of the land.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to my friend and
colleague, the gentleman from Arkansas (Mr. Cotton).
Mr. COTTON. Thank you.
When I was a child, I played a game called hide-and-seek, as I
suspect many of you might have played. There was a phrase in that game
called ``ollie ollie oxen free,'' which meant you could come out, that
you were safe, that you no longer had to hide.
[[Page H3541]]
This amendment is the ``ollie ollie oxen free'' amendment of the war
on terrorism. It invites al Qaeda and associated forces to send
terrorists to the United States and to recruit terrorists on U.S. soil.
Think about what happens if you're detained in the U.S. for
committing an act of terrorism: you will not be detained while you are
interrogated; you cannot be used to stop future attacks. Think about
what will happen: you will get your Miranda warnings; you will get an
attorney at taxpayer expense; and you will, if acquitted and not
accepted by your home country, be released into the streets of the
United States. We are encouraging al Qaeda to send terrorists here if
we adopt this amendment.
Consider also about an illegal alien crossing our border. If he does
so to get a job, Customs and Border Patrol can detain him and summarily
deport him. If he is detained by intelligence or military
professionals, what happens? He goes into the court system, and he gets
all the rights due to a common burglar.
The concerns that we have about due process are misplaced. The law
plainly lets every person--a citizen or foreigner--file a petition for
the writ of habeas corpus to challenge his detention. I strongly oppose
this amendment.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the
gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Amash).
Mr. AMASH. In 2011, Congress enacted a provision of the NDAA that
authorizes the indefinite detention of Americans caught on U.S. soil.
That provision, which is permanent law and continues to apply to this
day, authorizes the President to detain persons who ``substantially
supported'' forces ``associated'' with terrorists.
It is important to note that ``substantial support'' and being
``associated'' with terrorists were not defined in 2011 and still have
not been defined by Congress. There is a good argument that this
provision is unconstitutionally vague. In fact, a Federal court has
already ruled that the provision is unconstitutional because it chills
First Amendment association and free speech.
Our Constitution does not permit the Federal Government to detain
anyone in the United States indefinitely without charge or trial. I
strongly believe in protecting the country's security and in equipping
our Armed Forces with the tools they need to defeat our enemies, but
the American people cannot support measures that, in the name of
security, violate our constitutionally protected rights.
The Constitution entitles all people to be charged with a crime and
to be given a trial when the government detains them in the United
States. Join me in affirming this right by voting for Smith-Gibson,
which is the only amendment that protects the rights of those of you
watching at home.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to my friend and
colleague, the gentleman from New York (Mr. King).
Mr. KING of New York. I thank my good friend, the chairman, for
yielding, and I rise in opposition to the Smith-Gibson amendment.
Let me express my deepest respect for the ranking member, Mr. Smith,
and for my colleague from New York, Mr. Gibson, who has served his
Nation long and well and who certainly acts with the very best of
intentions. I certainly admire his patriotism and dedication.
Having said that, I strongly identify with the remarks of Chairman
McCaul and of Congressman Cotton. I think the ultimate fact here is
that we would be giving terrorists more rights if they come to the
United States than if they'd been captured overseas. To say that
everyone captured in the United States is entitled to the full rights
of a citizen or of a person lawfully in this country takes away from
the fact that if a Nazi soldier had attacked the United States during
World War II, would he have been entitled to all the rights of a
citizen?
{time} 1650
In fact, the Supreme Court ruled on that. We had Nazi saboteurs land
in New York during World War II. They were arrested, tried before a
military commission, and executed with the approval of the United
States Supreme Court.
In the Hamdi decision several years ago, the plurality of the Court
said:
There is no bar to this Nation's holding one of its own
citizens as an enemy combatant. A citizen, no less than an
alien, can be part of supporting forces hostile to the United
States or coalition partners and engage in an armed conflict
against the United States.
The fact is we should not be saying there's an incentive for a
terrorist to come from Afghanistan and come to the United States to
fight because if he's captured here, he gets more rights than if he was
captured in Afghanistan. This goes against, to me, common sense, and it
in no way is what is happening under the AUMF and in any way a
violation of the Constitution.
With that, I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. I yield myself the balance of my time.
There is no incentive for U.S. terrorists to come here. They are
trying to attack us. But we capture them successfully, try them, and
prosecute them.
Abdulmutallab came here. He was captured. Yes, he was Mirandized.
Even after he was Mirandized, he gave out an enormous amount of
information that was very helpful. We convicted him.
What this is essentially saying is that we don't trust the Department
of Justice to do their job, so therefore we have to give the President
the power to detain someone whether they have any evidence of a crime
or not. If they come here, the Department of Justice does its job.
We have tried and convicted over 400 terrorists in this country
successfully. The only incentive to come here is if they're not going
to commit a crime. All of the inmates down at Guantanamo were not
captured in the U.S. No one who has been captured in the U.S. as a
terrorist have we failed to convict.
Let's trust the Constitution. The Constitution doesn't threaten us.
The Constitution protects us. Let us use it, and use it to bring these
terrorists to justice, as every single time we have successfully done.
I urge support for the amendment, and I yield back the balance of my
time.
Ms. JACKSON LEE. Mr. Chair, I rise in support of amendment No. 13 to
H.R. 1960, ``National Defense Authorization Act for FY2014,'' offered
by Ranking Member Smith and Congressman Gibson of New York.
The amendment strikes Section 1022 of the FY2012 National Defense
Authorization Act and amends Section 1021 of same law to eliminate
indefinite military detention of any person detained under AUMF
authority in the United States and its territories and possessions by
providing immediate transfer to trial and proceedings by a court
established under Article III of the Constitution of the United States
or by an appropriate State court.
This amendment would bar any President or any other government
official from ordering the military to put anyone in the United States,
or its territories or possessions, into indefinite detention without
charge or trial, or to put anyone in the United States on trial before
a military commission.
Federal criminal courts are open, operating, experienced, and
secure--and are the appropriate venue for any proceedings here in the
United States itself.
The Bill of Rights applies to all persons within the United States
and its territories, this amendment is consistent with 233 years of
constitutional precedent as it does not pick and choose between which
persons on located on U.S. soil will receive constitutional
protections.
Further, the amendment bars the transfer of anyone in the United
States to the military for indefinite detention without charge or
trial. This provision is consistent with the Posse Comitatus Act, and
would provide an additional protection against any misuse of civilian
law enforcement as a way to put suspects into military detention
without charge or trial.
It is fully consistent with the Constitution, with the Posse
Comitatus Act of 1878, and with the Non-Detention Act of 1971. It will
reinforce the protections that most Americans assume apply--and do
apply--within the United States.
Since 2001, this executive power has only been utilized 3 times which
makes it clear that it is not necessary to protect our national
security; however, creates a gap in our civil liberties.
This amendment would repeal section 1022 of the FY2012 NDAA. Section
1022 requires the military to put some civilian suspects into military
detention.
The current Administration has waived application of section 1022 to
many groups of potential suspects, but it has not foreclosed the
[[Page H3542]]
possibility of section 1022 being applied to all categories of
civilians, including even within the United States itself. To ensure
this provision will not be used against those living in the United
States, we must repeal section 1022.
Our military is designed to fight and win our battles overseas and to
protect our borders; it is not designed to enforce domestic laws.
The military has not been required to enforce domestic laws since the
Civil War. We have a Department of Justice, State and Federal
Prosecutors, and local law enforcement that have been successful for
hundreds of years.
The amendment reaffirms the importance and availability of due

The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 260, the gentleman
from California (Mr. McKeon) and the gentleman from Washington (Mr.
Smith) each will control 10 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from California.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to my friend and
colleague, the gentlelady from Minnesota (Mrs. Bachmann).
Mrs. BACHMANN. Mr. Chairman, I rise today in support of this
amendment package which includes three amendments which I've offered to
protect and honor America's brave men and women in uniform.
The first and the second amendments would both properly train and
equip and staff the Marine Embassy Security Group and the Crisis
Response Task Force. In the wake of Benghazi and the tragedy there,
protecting our Nation's Embassy personnel and classified materials has
never been more important.
The third amendment requires certain Federal buildings that are
already required to fly the POW-MIA flags on Federal holidays to fly
those flags every day. We owe it to the memory of those who serve, to
honor their commitment and give them the funding and the support that
they need.
I urge my colleagues to support this package, and I want to thank Mr.
McKeon.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield 4 minutes to the
gentlelady from Texas (Ms. Jackson Lee).
Ms. JACKSON LEE. Let me thank the gentleman from Washington for his
leadership and the gentleman from California for their work and their
work with my office and staff.
One of the efforts that we have been working on--when I say that,
Congress and individual Members--is to approach and to continue to work
on the issue of breast cancer that impacts women throughout this
country, and certainly women and men in the United States military.
I'm very pleased in this en bloc to have an amendment by Jackson Lee
that really cements the collaboration between the Department of Defense
Office of Health to collaborate with the National Institutes of Health
to provide resources, to identify specific genetic and molecular
targets and biomarkers for triple negative breast cancer, often not
heard of.
I will tell you, in the course of my involvement, I've had daughters
of those who lost their lives--triple negative breast cancer is a
particularly negative but deadly form of breast cancer where the victim
does not last very long. I've lost dear friends. And this highlighting
the biomarker will bring down the cost of treatment, but more
importantly will help to stem the tide of those who quickly die because
there is no treatment because it accelerates so quickly and lives are
lost.
I also am grateful that we are beginning to make some steps. Though I
indicated my support for the Speier and Gabbard amendment, I am pleased
to be able to have in this language, a board, a place where sexual
assault prevention information and resources bring it out in the open
and let people know, men and women, how they can access resources.
Let's put it forward so that people are safe, so that we can stop it
and get in the gap. I think honoring our men and women in the United
States military is particularly important.
Over the years, I have supported increased funding for PTSD and
recognized the crises that many of our soldiers are facing in the need
for mental health services. We can see some of the impact of those in
terms of family situations and violence, domestic violence. So I have
in this en bloc an amendment that will provide more mental health
counselors, or focus on more mental health counselors, to ensure that
the 200,000 veterans of military service and Active Duty soldiers will
have the ability to be able to get that kind of service.
It is also important to be fiscally responsible, and I have an
amendment that improves the management of defense equipment and
supplies through automated information data-captured technology. This
will support the work of the DOD to adopt a proven private sector
method for more efficiently
[[Page H3545]]
managing inventory, and that's inventory going from what we have in
Afghanistan to left over in Iraq and to many other places. We want to
save money.
I also am very grateful that there is a manager's amendment in this
en bloc, something very close and near and dear to my heart, and that
is the outreach by the Department of Defense to small businesses,
minority-owned businesses and women-owned businesses. I can tell you
that they are the backbone of America. Even though we are downsizing on
some of the contractual relationships, I can tell you that obviously
they bring about $537 billion as obligated by Federal agencies. These
small businesses can benefit. They create jobs. And the outreach is
going to be vital beyond where the bases are, beyond where the areas
where you would likely think.
Let me also say this. I want to thank the committee for working with
me on an amendment that I thought was very important, and that is the
study of the procurement practices of our intelligence assets and to be
able to improve how we deal with intelligence. I know that we will work
together on that going forward, and I believe that it is important that
we do work together.
These are amendments that I believe will improve the conditions of
our very important military personnel. And again, to all of them, Happy
Father's Day.
Mr. McKEON. At this time, Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the
gentleman from Alaska (Mr. Young) for the purpose of a colloquy.
Mr. YOUNG of Alaska. I thank the gentleman for yielding. I rise to
thank my good friend and chairman of the House Armed Services Committee
for including my amendment on section 811 of the fiscal year 2010
National Defense Authorization Act in one of today's en bloc packages
and to ask if he is concerned, as I am, that implementation by Federal
agencies of section 811 of the FY10 National Defense Authorization Act
has been inconsistent and contrary to the congressional intent.
Mr. McKEON. Will the gentleman yield?
Mr. YOUNG of Alaska. I yield to the gentleman from California.
{time} 1700
Mr. McKEON. I thank the gentleman from Alaska for raising concern
over inconsistency in implementation of section 811 and bringing it to
our attention.
Mr. YOUNG of Alaska. I thank the gentleman and ask the distinguished
chairman of the Armed Services Committee if he agrees with me that
section 811 was not intended to be a cap or bar on sole-source awards
above $20 million, and to also ask if he is concerned about the growing
number of reports that agencies are treating the threshold requiring
sole-source justification as a prohibition on such awards.
Mr. McKEON. Will the gentleman yield?
Mr. YOUNG of Alaska. I yield to the gentleman.
Mr. McKEON. I agree that section 811 was intended to provide
increased oversight of sole-source contract awards but was not intended
to be a prohibition on such contracts.
Mr. YOUNG of Alaska. Mr. Chairman, I ask you to join me and my
colleague from Hawaii (Ms. Hanabusa) in continued oversight of Federal
agency implementation of section 811 and in requesting the Comptroller
General provide us a full report with respect to any inconsistencies in
the ways agencies are implementing section 811, the negative impacts
such section is having on Native American contractors, and provide
recommendations on how the provision should be better implemented. Such
a report will aid Congress in ensuring that section 811 is implemented
so as to make clear that the provision does not impose a cap or limit
on awards covered by the provision, so long as the justifications and
approval are obtained pursuant to provision, and that the provision is
intended to provide a level of oversight and approval, not act as a
prohibition or limit on awards.
Mr. McKEON. I will be happy to work with the gentleman and with our
colleague from Hawaii to send a joint letter to the Comptroller General
in the manner he suggests and to continue oversight on this issue.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from
California (Ms. Hahn).
Ms. HAHN. Mr. Chairman, I rise to speak in support of amendment 246,
which is a bipartisan amendment that I cosponsored with my good friend
and colleague, Congressman Don Young.
Despite the vital role they play to our economic strength and
national security, our ports, unlike nearly every other mode of
transportation, still do not have a dedicated source of Federal funding
for infrastructure projects.
Ensuring ports have the infrastructure funding they need is not only
critical to strengthening our economy, but also to making sure that our
ports can handle the sudden needs of rapid deployment in the outbreak
of war or during a national emergency.
This amendment would allow the Maritime Administration to provide
infrastructure grants to our Nation's ports and prioritize funding for
our strategic seaports.
By finally giving MARAD the tools that they need to successfully
mitigate congestion and increase the flow of goods at U.S. ports, we
will ensure our ports will be fully prepared to serve our national
defense and continue to be the strong economic engine that drives our
Nation's prosperity.
I want to thank Congressman Young for working with me on this
amendment, as well as my colleague from California, Chairman McKeon,
and Ranking Member Smith for accepting this amendment en bloc.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from
Alaska (Mr. Young).
Mr. YOUNG of Alaska. I thank the chairman for including my amendment
in this package.
My amendment is very simple. It asks the Department of Defense to
report on what actually makes an installation in the Pacific
strategically important. In my many meetings with military leaders, I'm
always told about the strategic importance of various installations in
Alaska and all across this country; however, ``strategic'' is never
fully defined. My amendment merely asks the Department of Defense to
qualify and quantify exactly what makes an installation strategic.
As every Alaskan knows, Alaska has numerous strategic installations
that proudly protect this country from harm. Among those bases is
Eielson Air Force Base in Fairbanks, which is the home to the 18th
Aggressor Squadron. This squadron provides our Nation's pilots with
real-life training they need to be the best in the world. Throughout
the year, but especially during Red Flag-Alaska, the F-16 Aggressors
fight realistic mock battles in the largest training range in the
United States, and it's one of the most terrain diverse training areas
in the world.
Eielson Air Force Base is also home to the strategically important
168th Air Guard Refueling Wing. These KC-135s provide legs for our
Nation's northern air bridge, which allows us to project power into the
Arctic and the Northern Pacific. I have confidence that my amendment
and the following DOD report will show what General Billy Mitchell
recognized in 1935, namely, that Alaska is the most strategic place in
the world.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from
Hawaii (Ms. Hanabusa).
Ms. HANABUSA. Mr. Chairman, I rise to speak in support of en bloc
amendment 244, the Young-Hanabusa amendment.
Section 811 of the fiscal year 2010 NDAA required that any 8(a)
Native American sole-source contract in excess of $20 million go
through a heightened justification and approval.
The justification and approval is often interpreted to be approved by
a ``head of agency.'' This requirement is shown by a recent GAO report
to cause a 60 percent decline in revenue from these contracts. It has
resulted in a loss of jobs, reduced benefits to Native Americans, and
has led to a large amount of unintended discrimination against Native
community-owned firms. What the amendment does is it makes it a
delegable authority.
In my home State of Hawaii, there are numerous 8(a) enterprises known
as Native Hawaiian Organizations. These
[[Page H3546]]
entities are conducting critical research for our defense industry and
other sectors of government while also supporting critical programs
within the community. It makes no sense to place onerous requirements
on these successful organizations that significantly decrease the
ability to conduct business.
Further, I support a letter to the GAO requesting a full and detailed
report with respect to any inconsistencies in the way the agencies are
implementing section 811, the negative impacts such section is having
on Native American contractors, along with recommendations of how the
provisions should be implemented.
Mr. Chairman, I would also like to thank the chairman, the ranking
member, and my colleague Mr. Young from Alaska for this amendment and
for placing it in the en bloc package.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from
Colorado (Mr. Lamborn).
Mr. LAMBORN. Mr. Chairman, I rise today to highlight my amendment No.
143, which expresses the sense of Congress highlighting the threat
posed by Hezbollah.
Hezbollah is one of the world's most dangerous terrorist
organizations. After al Qaeda, it is responsible for the most deaths of
American citizens. Hezbollah is behind a series of terrorist attacks
around the world, including the foiled plot to assassinate the Saudi
Ambassador here in Washington.
Hezbollah is backed by the Iranian regime and has now joined the
fight to protect another Iranian proxy, the Assad regime in Syria.
Hezbollah was behind an attack last summer in Bulgaria that killed
five people. Unfortunately, the European Union has not yet listed
Hezbollah as a terrorist organization.
My amendment calls on the EU to recognize that Hezbollah is a
terrorist organization. Please vote ``yes'' on this amendment to stand
against terrorism.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my
time.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, we have no further speakers. I urge
adoption of the en bloc amendment, and I yield back the balance of my
time.
Ms. JACKSON LEE. Mr. Chair, I thank Chairman McKeon and Ranking
Member Smith and the Rules Committee for making in order and including
in En Bloc Amendment #1 Amendment Number 35 and Amendment Number 111 to
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014.
These amendments are offered by the House Committee on Homeland
Security's Chairman McCaul, Ranking Member Bennie Thompson, as well as
the Subcommittee on Border and Maritime Security's Chairwoman Miller
and Ranking Member Jackson Lee.
In addition to the Jackson Lee amendments offered to this bill, I
joined my Colleagues on the Committee on Homeland Security in
supporting an amendment to promote collaboration and cooperation
between the Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security
regarding the identification of equipment, either declared excess, or
made available to DHS on a long-term loan basis that will help increase
security along the border.
I also request that my colleagues support another amendment that I
joined in sponsoring along with the leadership of the House Committee
on Homeland Security, which would allow the transfer of technology from
DOD to state and local law enforcement. Before the creation of DHS a
program was created to facilitate this type of equipment transfer and
this amendment adds the Secretary of Homeland Security in a
consultative role in the equipment transfer process. This amendment
also gives applicants seeking DOD equipment for use in border security
preference in this statute. This will facilitate expedited transfer of
equipment that Federal, state and local first responders can use to
strengthen our border security efforts.
I thank Chairman McKeon and Ranking Member Smith for including these
amendments in the En Bloc Amendment #1 and I urge all members to vote
in favor of this amendment.
Ms. JACKSON LEE. Mr. Chair, I thank Chairman McKeon and Ranking
Member Smith and the Rules Committee for making in order and including
in En Bloc Amendment #2 three amendments that I offered to the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014.
The Jackson Lee Amendments are simple and if adopted would improve
the final bill.
The Jackson Lee Amendment designated as #81 calls for the
collaboration between the Department of Defense and the National
Institutes of Health to combat Triple Negative Breast Cancer. The
Amendment directs the Department of Defense Office of Health to
collaborate with the National Institutes of Health to provide resources
to identify specific genetic and molecular targets and biomarkers for
TNBC.
Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC)
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a term used to describe
breast cancers whose cells do not have estrogen receptors and
progesterone receptors, and do not have an excess of the ``HER2''
protein on their cell membrane of tumor cells.
Between 10-17% of female breast cancer patients have the triple
negative subtype.
Three times more likely to cause death than the most common form of
breast cancer, 70% of women with metastatic triple negative breast
cancer do not live more than five years after being diagnosed.
There is no targeted treatment available for TNBC. The American
Cancer Society calls this particular strain of breast cancer ``an
aggressive subtype associated with lower survival rates.''
Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) cells are usually of a higher
grade and size; onset at a younger age; more aggressive; and more
likely to metastasize.
TNBC is in fact a heterogeneous group of cancers with varying
differences in prognosis and survival rate between various subtypes.
This has led to a lot of confusion amongst both physicians and
patients.
Apart from surgery, cytotoxic chemotherapy is the only available
treatment; targeted molecular treatments, while being investigated, are
not accepted treatment.
Populations Affected by TNBC
TNBC disproportionately impacts younger women, African American
women, Hispanic/Latina women, and women with a ``BRCA1'' genetic
mutation, which is prevalent in Jewish women.
TNBC usually affects women under 50 years of age.
More than 30% of all breast cancer diagnoses in African American are
of the triple negative variety. Black women are far more susceptible to
this dangerous subtype than white or Hispanic women.
Women with TNBC are more likely to have distant metastases in the
brain and lung than more common subtypes of breast cancer.
Breast cancers with specific, targeted treatment methods, such as
hormone and gene based strains, have higher survival rates than the
triple negative subtype, highlighting the need for a targeted
treatment.
The Jackson Lee Amendment designated as #88 directs the Department of
Defense to post information on sexual assault prevention and response
resources online for ease of access by men and women in the armed
services.
There is no greater crime that an individual can commit than the
crime of sexual molestation and sexual assault. The perpetrators of
these crimes rob victims of their dignity and sense of wellbeing.
Victimization is not easily relieved by treating the immediate physical
injuries that may result, but can last for years. Moreover, victims of
sexual assault are profoundly affected for the rest of their lives,
often with PTSD or other medical conditions. As elected officials, we
have an obligation to condemn this violence, work for stronger
enforcement of laws and provide adequate funding for programs to assist
individuals who may have experienced such abuse.
When the victim is a member of the armed forces, the crime is much
more traumatic because the assailant may be a superior officer or the
location of the crime far from our shores. Further, the mechanisms in
place to support civilians who are victims of sexual violence are often
not available to men and women in the military.
In 2012, the Department of Defense estimates that 26,000 men and
women in the armed forces are victims of some type of unwanted sexual
contact. This reflects a 40 percent increase over a two year period.
The report provided by the Defense Department suggests that the
majority of the crimes involved rape, aggravated sexual assault or
nonconsensual sodomy.
We know that victims of sexual violence or abuse among civilians are
routinely underreported. The Defense Department report states that of
the 26,000 estimated victims only 3,374 crimes were reported and just
302 of the 2,558 incidents pursued by victims were prosecuted.
This crime is not limited to women who are victims of men, but
include men who are victims of other men. The Defense Department report
states that 81 percent of sexual violence against men goes unreported
and just 5 percent of attacks are reported to civilian law enforcement.
The stigma is great for any victim of sexual violence, but it may be
more so for men because civilian society has accepted the reality of
sexual violence against women and children but is just becoming aware
of crimes against men.
[[Page H3547]]
In 2011, the Journal of Trauma and Dissociation reports that men in
the military face barriers to reporting sexual crimes that include
avoidance/blocking the incident, fear of retribution, fear of facing
charges under the Uniform Code of Military Justice for associated
behavior like drinking, fear that reporting will damage their military
career and fear of not being believed.
Sexual assault can be verbal, visual, or anything that forces a
person to join in unwanted sexual contact or attention. Examples of
this are voyeurism (when someone watches private sexual acts),
exhibitionism (when someone exposes him/herself in public), incest
(sexual contact between family members), and sexual harassment. It can
happen in different situations, by a stranger in an isolated place, on
a date, or in the place where a person sleeps by someone they know.
The negative impacts of sexual assault go beyond the physical trauma
of the attack itself. The victims suffer psychological trauma,
emotional scarring, shame, anger, the stigma of being victimized.
Victims often suffer in silence for years before they can gain the
courage to seek help.
Unfortunately, sexual assault is an issue that has plagued the Nation
and we are learning that men and women in the armed forces cannot
escape its effects. In my home state of Texas, nearly 2 million adult
Texans, or 12.6% of the population, have been sexually assaulted, and
more than half of all sexual assaults are committed against children
under age 18.
An estimated 82% of rapes go unreported. The vast majority of rape
victims--nearly 80%--know the person who rapes them.
Purpose of my Amendment
The goal of the amendment is to make sure that information is
available and easily accessible to military personnel for the purpose
of raising awareness, promoting education and the long term goal of
influencing organizational culture around the issue of sexual violence.
Many in the military are just learning that there is a huge
difference between sex and sexual violence. My amendment would educate
both victims, potential victims, witnesses or victimizers that these
are acts of violence and should be treated as such. It may also help
influence thinking among military leaders on the nature of these crimes
and promote changes in policy to aggressively provide support to
victims and judicial remedies to prosecute and punish criminal
behavior.
It will take more than just stronger prevention and enforcement of
the law to prevent sexual molestation and other forms of sexual
assault. It is also raising awareness, which is what my amendment does.
In order to end this serious epidemic that plagues the American Armed
forces, all segments of the military from the most junior to the most
senior officers should be aware of what a sexual crime is and how to
reduce the incidents or them. Victims are not at fault--victimizers are
criminals who intend to subjugate, humiliate, dominate and hurt their
victims. They are predators among those who honorably serve in defense
of our nation. They should not be tolerated, condoned, protected, given
refuge or enabled in any way.
The Jackson Lee Amendment designated as #82 expresses the sense of
the Congress that the Secretary of Defense should develop a plan to
ensure a sustainable flow of qualified mental health counselors to meet
the long-term needs of members of the Armed Forces, veterans, and their
families.
I have always been a supporter of the men and women in the military,
visiting every combat zone, including Bosnia, Kosovo, Albania, with
numerous visits to Afghanistan and Iraq.
Houston is home to one of the largest populations of military service
members and their families in the nation. There are over 200,000
veterans of military service who live and work in Houston; more than
13,000 are veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan. For the brave men and
women who have been wounded in combat, help is on the way.
Although some of a soldier's wounds are invisible to the naked eye
they are still wounds that should be properly treated. One of the best
ways to increase access to treatment is to increase the number of
medical facilities and mental health professionals who are available to
serve the needs of men and women currently serving and those who have
become veterans.
The current conflict in Afghanistan is the most continuous combat
operations since Vietnam.
One study published in the American Journal of Medicine indicated
that 94% of soldiers returning from Iraq reported receiving small-arms
fire.
In addition, 86% of soldiers in Iraq reported knowing someone who was
seriously injured or killed, 68% reported seeing dead or seriously
injured Americans, and 51% reported handling or uncovering human
remains.
The majority, 77%, of soldiers deployed to Iraq reported shooting or
directing fire at the enemy, 48% reported being responsible for the
death of an enemy combatant, and 28% reported being responsible for the
death of a noncombatant. (Hoge et al., 2004).
In addition to these Jackson Lee Amendments, I joined my Colleagues
on the Committee on Homeland Security in supporting an amendment to
promote collaboration between the Department of Defense and Department
of Homeland security regarding the identification of equipment, either
declared excess, or made available to DHS on a long-term loan basis
that will help increase security along the border.
This is a common-sense way to leverage equipment the taxpayer has
already paid for and is coming back from overseas and no longer needed
for military purposes is a wise use of these resources.
I also request that my colleagues support another amendment that I
joined in sponsoring along with the leadership of the House Committee
on Homeland Sec, which would allow the transfer of technology from DOD
to state and local law enforcement. Before the creation of DHS, a
program was created to facilitate this type of equipment transfer, and
this amendment adds the Secretary of Homeland Security in a
consultative role in the equipment transfer process. This amendment
also gives applicants seek DOD equipment for use in border security
preference in this statute. This will facilitate expedited transfer of
equipment that Federal, state and local first responders can use to
strengthen our border security efforts.
I thank Chairman McKeon and Ranking Member Smith for including these
amendments in the En Bloc Amendment #2 and I urge all members to vote
in favor of this amendment.
Ms. JACKSON LEE. Mr. Chair, the Rules Committee made several
amendments I offered to the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2014 in order.
The Jackson Lee Amendments are simple and if adopted would improve
the final bill.
The Jackson Lee Amendment designated as #95 provides for the improved
management of defense equipment and supplies through automated
information and data capture technologies. The private sector has
leaped forward in using inventory tracking technology to monitor large
and small products from the time they leave manufacturing facilities
until they are sold at retail or wholesale stores.
Adoption and implementation of DOD's Item Unique Identification
(IUID) policy for serialized asset control will make several asset
management and supply chain management improvements. Once fully
implemented, if an item is in the inventory of any DOD facility
anywhere in the world, it would be easy to locate and deliver where and
when it is needed. This happens every day in retail settings and it
should be the standard way DOD inventory is managed. My amendment would
support the work of the DOD to adopt a proven private sector method for
more efficiently managing inventory.
The most advanced warehouse inventory management systems are fully
automated and biometrically controlled to track items and create
records of people who make request to transport items from storage to
use. These systems make sure that persons' seeking to move items have
the authority to do so and that the requests create records that can be
tracked as well as track the items moved. These fully automated
warehouses have no staff, but rely upon technology that is designed to
store and retrieve items in the most cost effective and efficient
manner possible.
The automated warehouse systems are in use in the private sector and
are one of the many innovations that may assist the DOD in improving
efficiency of equipment management while saving potentially millions of
dollars in labor and acquisition costs.
The Jackson Lee Amendment designated as #49 requires outreach by the
DOD to small business concerns owned and controlled by women and
minorities before conversion of certain functions to contractor
performance. Federal contracting can be an important revenue source for
businesses of any size. In fiscal year 2011, federal agencies obligated
a total of around $537 billion in government contracts to businesses.
However, federal agencies goal for contracting with women and minority
owned businesses is five percent.
The Department of Defense is a major consumer of products and
services that range from office products to military specific
equipment. The wide ranges of business opportunities provide ample
reasons to engage women and minority owned businesses as contractors or
subcontractors.
This Amendment requires outreach by the DOD to small business
concerns owned and controlled by women and minorities before conversion
of certain functions to contractor performance. Federal contracting can
be an important revenue source for businesses of any size. In fiscal
year 2011, federal agencies obligated a total of around $537 billion in
government contracts to businesses. However, federal agencies goal for
contracting with women and minority owned businesses is five percent.

Genco, are in use in the private sector and are one of the many

I urge all members to support these amendments.

Ms. WATERS and Mr. CUMMINGS changed their vote from ``no'' to
``aye.''
So the amendment was rejected.
The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I move that the Committee do now rise.
The motion was agreed to.
Accordingly, the Committee rose; and the Speaker pro tempore (Mr. Poe
of Texas) having assumed the chair, Mr. Simpson, Acting Chair of the
Committee of the Whole House on the state of the Union, reported that
that Committee, having had under consideration the bill (H.R. 1960) to
authorize appropriations for fiscal year 2014 for military activities
of the Department of Defense and for military construction, to
prescribe military personnel strengths for such fiscal year, and for
other purposes, had come to no resolution thereon.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that, during further
consideration of H.R. 1960 pursuant to House Resolution 260, amendments
14 and 23 printed in part B of House Report 113-108 may be considered
out of sequence.
The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Simpson). Is there objection to the
request of the gentleman from California?
There was no objection.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 260 and rule
[[Page H3553]]
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,
H.R. 1960.
Will the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Poe) kindly assume the chair.
{time} 1809
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. 1960) to authorize appropriations for fiscal year 2014
for military activities of the Department of Defense and for military
construction, to prescribe military personnel strengths for such fiscal
year, and for other purposes, with Mr. Poe of Texas (Acting Chair) in
the chair.
The Clerk read the title of the bill.
The Acting CHAIR. When the Committee of the Whole rose earlier today,
the second set of en bloc amendments offered by the gentleman from
California (Mr. McKeon) had been disposed of.
{time} 1810
Amendment No. 15 Offered by Mr. Denham
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 15
printed in part B of House Report 113-108.
Mr. DENHAM. I rise to offer my amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:
At the end of subtitle C of title V, add the following new
section:
SECTION 530E. AUTHORITY TO ENLIST IN THE ARMED FORCES CERTAIN
ALIENS WHO ARE UNLAWFULLY PRESENT IN THE UNITED
STATES AND LEGAL STATUS OF SUCH ENLISTEES BY
REASON OF HONORABLE SERVICE IN THE ARMED
FORCES.
(a) Certain Aliens Authorized for Enlistment.--Subsection
(b)(1) of section 504 of title 10, United States Code, is
amended by adding at the end the following new subparagraph:
``(D) An alien who was unlawfully present in the United
States on December 31, 2011, who has been unlawfully and
continuously present in the United States since that date,
who was younger than 15 years of age on the date the alien
intially entered the United States, and who, disregarding
such unlawful status, is otherwise eligible for original
enlistment in a regular component of the Army, Navy, Air
Force, Marine Corps, or Coast Guard under section 505(a) of
this title and regulations issued to implement such
section.''.
(b) Conditional Admission to Permanent Residence of Alien
Enlistees.--Such section is further amended by adding at the
end the following new subsection:
``(c) Conditional Admission to Permanent Residence of Alien
Enlistees.--(1) The Secretary of Homeland Security shall
adjust the status of an alien described in subsection
(b)(1)(D) who enlists in a regular component of the Army,
Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, or Coast Guard to the status
of an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence under
the provisions of section 249 of the Immigration and
Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1259), except that the alien does
not have to--
``(A) establish that he or she entered the United States
prior to January 1, 1972; or
``(B) comply with section 212(e) of such Act (8 U.S.C.
1182(e)).
``(2) The lawful permanent resident status of an alien
described in subsection (b)(1)(D) who enlisted in a regular
component of the armed forces and whose status was adjusted
under paragraph (1) is automatically rescinded, by operation
of law, if the alien is separated from the armed forces under
other than honorable conditions before the alien serves the
term of enlistment of such alien. Such grounds for rescission
are in addition to any other grounds for rescission provided
by law. Proof of separation from the armed forces under other
than honorable conditions shall be established by a duly
authenticated certification from the armed force in which the
alien last served.
``(3) Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to
alter--
``(A) the process prescribed by sections 328, 329, and 329A
of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1439, 1440,
1440-1) by which a person may naturalize through service in
the armed forces; or
``(B) the qualifications for original enlistment in the
armed forces described in section 505(a) of this title and
regulations issued to implement such section.''.
(c) Offset and Delayed Effective Date.--
(1) Budgetary effects.--Not later than 30 days after the
date of the enactment of this Act, the President shall submit
to Congress an analysis of the budgetary effects of enactment
of this section and a determination regarding whether such
enactment would result in an increase in the deficit in the
current year, the budget year, or the subsequent nine fiscal
years.
(2) Delayed effective date.--With the exception of
paragraph (1), this section and the amendments made by this
section shall become effective only upon enactment of an Act
referencing this section and the title of which is as
follows: ``An Act to provide budgetary treatment of changes
to enlistment policies of the Armed Forces.''.
(d) Clerical Amendments.--
(1) Section heading.--The heading of such section is
amended to read as follows:
``Sec. 504. Persons not qualified; citizenship or residency
requirements; exceptions''.
(2) Table of sections.--The table of sections at the
beginning of chapter 31 of such title is amended by striking
the item relating to section 504 and inserting the following
new item:
``504. Persons not qualified; citizenship or residency requirements;
exceptions.''.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 260, the gentleman
from California (Mr. Denham) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from California.
Mr. DENHAM. Mr. Chairman, thank you for giving me an opportunity to
speak on behalf of my amendment to authorize the enlistment in the
Armed Forces of undocumented immigrants who entered the U.S. under 15
years of age, who entered the country on or before December 31, 2011,
and who are otherwise qualified for enlistment.
This amendment will also provide a way for this group of undocumented
immigrants to be lawfully admitted to the United States for permanent
residence by reason of their honorable service and sacrifice in the
United States military.
As a Nation, we have never made citizenship a requirement for service
in our Armed Forces. Half of the U.S. military enlistees in the 1840s
were immigrants, and more than 660,000 military veterans sought
naturalization between 1862 and 2000.
Mr. Chairman, I have worn the uniform. I have served with many
immigrants in Desert Storm and Somalia. My uncle and godfather served
with immigrants during Vietnam. My grandfather and grandmother served
in Korea, where Europeans were encouraged to sign up for the United
States military. Filipinos from 1947 to 2000 were encouraged to sign up
and serve in the military.
This is one opportunity for those that have gone to school here, that
have graduated from high school, that are in our communities, to show
their ultimate support for this great Nation and are willing to
sacrifice in support of our country.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. LARSEN of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to the
amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes.
Mr. LARSEN of Washington. I yield to the gentleman from California
(Mr. Becerra).
Mr. BECERRA. Mr. Chairman, I would like to engage the gentleman from
California in a colloquy, if I may.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Washington controls the time.
Mr. BECERRA. I would like to engage in a colloquy with the gentleman
from California (Mr. Denham), and what I'd like to ask is, in
conversations that have taken place between Members on this particular
amendment, there is obviously quite a bit of support on this side of
the House for legislation that would honor the service of any American,
including those Americans who have come to this country through no
fault of their own without documentation, have essentially become
Americans through their time as youngsters in this country, and then
wanted to fulfill service to this Nation by applying to serve in our
Armed Forces.
This amendment, however, has some flaws in it that make it very
difficult for the very people that the gentleman is trying to help to
actually receive the opportunity to serve our country and then be able
to adjust their status to lawful permanent residents, and ultimately,
we hope, to become United States citizens.
There is also a further flaw in the bill that would prevent any part
of this from ever taking effect unless the gentleman were able to find
the resources to implement this. As he and I discussed before this
amendment was put on the floor, that would be very difficult unless we
were prepared to make some substantial changes to the current funding
of some very important
[[Page H3554]]
mandatory programs, including retirement pay for our soldiers; TRICARE,
which is health care services for our military servicemembers; mortgage
refinancing for our servicemembers.
So I would ask the gentleman if the gentleman was intent on pursuing
this amendment today, or if he was prepared to withdraw and have
further conversation to see if these flaws could be corrected.
I would also note that for many of us who have been working for over
20 years to try to reform a broken immigration system, this is
certainly one aspect of a broken immigration system that must be fixed.
There are any number of hardworking individuals in this country who we
believe, through a comprehensive fix of our broken immigration system,
would have an opportunity to show all Americans citizens that they have
tried to work very hard to earn a chance to become tax-paying American
citizens.
So while many of us prefer to be able to deal with all aspects of a
broken immigration system, this is certainly one that truly needs to be
dealt with and deserves attention. But this amendment has two very
substantial flaws, and I would ask the gentleman what his intentions
are with regard to pursuing this amendment on the floor this evening?
With the permission of our ranking member, I would ask that Mr.
Denham be yielded time to respond.
Mr. LARSEN of Washington. I yield to the gentleman from California
(Mr. Denham).
Mr. DENHAM. In addressing his concern about the cost of this bill, it
is yet to be defined. It's something that we will need the
administration to define the cost of, as we would with any bill that
goes through the appropriations process. We look forward to working not
only with the gentleman from California on the amendment, but certainly
working with the administration to define an unknown cost that we are
realizing today.
Mr. LARSEN of Washington. Mr. Chairman, how much time do I have
remaining?
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman has 2\1/2\ minutes remaining.
Mr. LARSEN of Washington. I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. DENHAM. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from
Virginia (Mr. Goodlatte).
Mr. GOODLATTE. I thank the gentleman very much for yielding. I also
want to tell him how much I appreciate him raising this very important
issue.
There is no doubt that individuals brought to the United States as
young children by their illegal immigrant parents are the most
sympathetic group of people not lawfully present in the United States
today, and that is particularly true of those who desire to serve in
the Armed Forces of the United States. We should embrace these
individuals whose goal it is to integrate into American society and
live and work by the rules of our Nation.
This is an issue that we plan to look at in the Judiciary Committee,
and so I want to thank the gentleman from California (Mr. Becerra) also
for raising the issue in the context of our overall efforts to deal
with immigration reform, and if the gentleman from California would
withdraw his amendment, I would commit to him to work with him in
addressing the situation and immigration status of these individuals.
This should and can be done in the broad spectrum of the entire
immigration debate, which as you know we are fully engaged in in the
House Judiciary Committee.
Mr. DENHAM. I look forward to working with the gentleman, but at this
time I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. LARSEN of Washington. I continue to reserve the balance of my
time.
Mr. DENHAM. I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Diaz-
Balart).
Mr. DIAZ-BALART. Mr. Chairman, actually I rise to thank you, Mr.
Denham, for bringing up this very important issue. The gentleman
mentioned historically the great contributions that the folks that he
mentioned today, people just like that, have made throughout our
history. Let me tell you, Mr. Denham, you are bringing up an issue
which I am glad finally someone has brought up, and I know you're going
to continue to, as you have, show the leadership on this issue that
you've had from day one.
I just want to tell you that I'm willing to do whatever I can to be
of help because I think the issue that you have brought up today is
essential not only for a group of individuals, but more importantly,
for the national security interests of the United States. So again,
thank you, sir, for bringing this up.
{time} 1820
Mr. LARSEN of Washington. Mr. Chairman, do I understand that we have
the right to close?
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman is correct.
Mr. LARSEN of Washington. I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from
California (Mr. Becerra).
Mr. BECERRA. I thank the gentleman for yielding. And I appreciate the
gentleman from California being willing to withdraw the amendment, and
certainly appreciate the work of the chairman of the Judiciary
Committee, Mr. Goodlatte, in proposing that we try to resolve this in
this Chamber.
I think we want to make it very clear. As I think every one of my
colleagues who has spoken on this amendment has said, this is an
important issue because we have a lot of young Americans who are
trapped in a situation where they have to live in the shadows. And
especially for those who wish to provide service to our country in
uniform, I think all of us believe, if you're willing to give that
highest calling of service, that we want to be there to be not only
appreciative of your service, but recognizing the valor involved.
And so I want to make sure we're very clear. We all support the
notion of trying to help these young Americans, who are Americans in
everything but legal title, the opportunity to serve this country. This
amendment, unfortunately, would not accomplish that if it were to go
forward, and that's why I think it's so important, as Mr. Goodlatte,
our chairman of the Judiciary Committee pointed out, that we withdraw
the amendment and try to make corrections so we can get to the point of
dealing with immigration reform.
Mr. DENHAM. Mr. Chairman, how much time do I have remaining?
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from California has 1\1/2\ minutes
remaining.
Mr. DENHAM. I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Colorado (Mr.
Coffman).
Mr. COFFMAN. Mr. Chairman, I thank the gentleman from California for
yielding and for bringing up this critical issue.
My father was a veteran of both World War II and Korea, and he taught
me, growing up, that there's no greater demonstration of American
citizenship than serving one's country in the military. And in my
congressional district, there are a lot of young people who came to
this country by their parents illegally, who grew up in the United
States, who went to school here, and who want to serve this country in
the military. It is the only country that they've known, and so they
ought to be afforded the right to do that and to demonstrate what is
the greatest, I think, form of citizenship, and that is service in the
United States military.
So I think that this is something that we've got to accomplish as a
part of comprehensive immigration reform and something, certainly, that
will make our country a better place.
Mr. LARSEN of Washington. Mr. Chair, I continue to reserve the
balance of my time.
Mr. DENHAM. Mr. Chairman, let me just finish by saying the precedence
is here. Legal permanent residents are already serving in our military
from American Samoa, from Micronesia, from Palau. We have a long
history of over 660,000 immigrants serving in our military from other
countries.
This seems like something that should be a bipartisan, commonsense
way to address this problem, allowing people to not only be able to
serve in the military, that great opportunity that they have, but,
ultimately, the ultimate sacrifice, giving your life for a great
country like this.
With that, Mr. Chairman, I ask unanimous consent to withdraw my
amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, the amendment is withdrawn.
There was no objection.

Amendment No. 21 Offered by Mr. Turner
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 21
printed in part B of House Report 113-108.
Mr. TURNER. 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:
Page 79, after line 23, insert the following:
SEC. 241. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON NEGOTIATIONS AFFECTING THE
MISSILE DEFENSES OF THE UNITED STATES.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) On April 15, 2013, the National Security Advisor to the
President, Tom Donilon, conveyed a personal letter from
President Obama to the President of the Russian Federation,
Vladimir Putin.
(2) Press reports indicate that in this letter the
President proposed, ``developing a legally-binding agreement
on transparency, which would include exchange of information
to confirm that our programs do not pose a threat to each
other's deterrence forces,'' through ``a so-called executive
agreement, for which [the President] does not need to seek
the consent of Congress.''.
(3) The Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia, Sergei Ryabkov,
stated in response to the letter that, ``the proposals of the
U.S. side on the issue are quite concrete and are related in
a certain way to the discussions our countries had at various
levels in the past years. And it cannot be said from this
point of view that the offers are decorative and not serious.
No, I want to emphasize that we are committing to the
seriousness of these proposals but we note their
insufficiency.''.
(4) Press reports indicate that the Secretary of the
Russian Security Council, Nikolai Patrushev, conveyed a
response to the letter from President Putin.
(5) President Obama's proposed deal with Russian President
Putin has been kept secret from Congress and the American
people.
(6) The Administration has systematically denied Congress
information about past offers of U.S. missile defense
concessions to Russia, including written requests from
Members of the House of Representatives.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the President should promptly convey to Congress the
details of any proposed deals with the Russian Federation
concerning the missile defenses or nuclear arms of the United
States; and
(2) the missile defenses of the United States are central
to the defense of the homeland from ballistic missile
threats, particularly if nuclear deterrence fails, thus such
defenses are not something that the President should continue
to trade away for the prospects of nuclear arms reductions
with Russia, the People's Republic of China, or any other
foreign country.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 260, the gentleman
from Ohio (Mr. Turner) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Ohio.
Mr. TURNER. Mr. Chairman, last year I stood here on the House floor
and I asked the President of the United States to make available to us,
to Congress and the American public, the details of what I believe is,
and many have seen is, a secret deal that the President has with the
Russians concerning the United States missile defense.
Everyone is very much aware that the President had an open mic
incident where he didn't expect the American public to hear what he was
saying when he was meeting in Seoul, South Korea, with then-President
Medvedev of Russia, and he said to him that he needed some space from
the Russians.
He said to him, as we all are familiar with now, ``This is my last
election,'' Obama told Medvedev during the two-day nuclear summit. He
said, ``After my election, I will have more flexibility.''
You don't have to take my word for it. You can see this on YouTube,
where the President offers the issue of missile defense as one that's
negotiable with the Russians after he's no longer answering to the
American public through the election.
What's troubling is that, as we stood on the House floor and demanded
the President make public the terms of this secret deal that he was
talking about with Medvedev, the President didn't make any of those
details available. But, instead, after the election, with the stroke of
his pen, abandoned phase IV of his own phased adaptive approach missile
defense plan that would have provided missile defense protection for
the United States homeland. It was a portion of the missile defense
shield that was objected to by the Russians.
So here we have the President sitting with Medvedev saying wait till
after the election, I'll have more flexibility, and then subsequent to
the election, abandoning a portion of the missile defense shield that
was intended to protect the homeland.
But what's more troubling is Russian press reports indicate that
President Putin says that they have received from the United States
indications of a further deal and further negotiations, further offers
from this administration to what I believe weaken and diminish our
missile defense shield.
The President needs to make these public. We are asking for a sense
of Congress demanding that the President of the United States make
public the details of the terms of what he is offering President Putin.
The President has said he's going to be the most open, most
transparent administration; and yet this is an area where not only did
the administration deny negotiations are ongoing, which we know to be
the case, but he even denies the American public and us the terms of
those negotiations.
Our sense of Congress says, Mr. President, make these public.
As we know, South Korea is incredibly vulnerable to North Korea. Now
the United States is vulnerable, as North Korea has taken missiles and
put them on a launch pad. We have Iran that's emerging. We have real
concerns and threats to the United States. This President should not be
negotiating away our missile defense shield, especially not in a manner
that's not open and transparent to the Members of Congress.
With that, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. LARSEN of Washington. I claim time in opposition.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes.
Mr. LARSEN of Washington. Mr. Chair, I'd encourage our colleagues to
vote ``no'' on this amendment. The amendment implies that the President
is negotiating some secret deal with Russia that would weaken U.S.
security for the ideological pursuit of nuclear weapons reductions.
Now, we know the President has the constitutional power to conduct
formulations, and Congress has the authority to provide advice and
consent to ratification and to deny funding for any implementation of
any treaty. The administration has provided regular briefings and has
supplied senior State and Defense officials over here to our committee
and to the House Foreign Affairs Committee and informed us on talks on
Russia.
This amendment also is not necessary. The bill already contains
numerous provisions asking for information on U.S.-Russian missile
defense cooperation and blocking nuclear weapons reductions. So I'd ask
my colleagues to oppose this amendment.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. TURNER. Mr. Chairman, how much time do I have remaining?
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Ohio has 2 minutes remaining.
Mr. TURNER. I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Oklahoma (Mr.
Bridenstine).
Mr. BRIDENSTINE. Mr. Chairman, I rise today to support the Turner
amendment.
The President, as everybody remembers, told then-Russian President
Medvedev that we would have more flexibility to cut a secret deal--of
course, he didn't use the word ``secret,'' but I think we all
understand that's what it was--on missile defense after the 2012
elections.
We also know that the National Security Adviser, Tom Donilon,
conveyed a letter from the President to Russian President Putin that
reportedly proposed a missile defense agreement that would avoid
congressional review and consent. Given this administration's lack of
transparency, I have no confidence in the President's abilities to
negotiate on missile defense or on nuclear weapons.
Mr. Chairman, missile defenses protect our Nation. They protect our
deployed forces and our allies from attack. Our nuclear deterrent is a
stabilizing force that promotes restraint and assures our allies of
security.
{time} 1830
Given our economic and military superiority currently, we have
military dominance when compared to Russia. I personally don't trust
this President to negotiate it away. And I think it's important that
we, as Members of Congress, should have oversight here.
[[Page H3556]]
Mr. LARSEN 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 think virtually everyone on our side of
the aisle in this Chamber would agree that if the President wants to
submit a treaty, he has to follow the Constitution to get it approved.
I think all of us should agree that if the President wants to implement
a so-called executive agreement not subject to treaty confirmation that
we should vigorously exercise our power of the purse and our oversight
authority to make sure that that's in the best interest of the American
people, and if it's not, we shouldn't fund it, as the Constitution
gives us the prerogative.
The problem with this amendment is, if it's said that we call on the
President to give us complete information about what's going on between
us and Russia, I would vote for it; but I can't vote for an amendment
that has findings that are hearsay at best and inaccurate at worst.
But the word ``finding'' in the operation of this institution implies
that there's been a sober, thorough, and factual inquiry as to what's
gone on. These findings are pure hearsay. They say that certain Members
have read newspaper articles. Well, that's interesting, but that's not
a finding. It then characterizes--characterizes--the President as
trading away for the prospect of nuclear arms reductions certain
weapons system or defense systems. And I would really ask anyone on the
other side if they could cite to us any instance where the President
has, in fact, made an agreement where he has traded away any defense
system to the Russians or anyone else. I don't think they can.
The right vote on this is ``no.'' We should exercise oversight. We
should not engage in science fiction.
Mr. TURNER. I yield the balance of my time to the chairman of the
Strategic Forces Subcommittee, the gentleman from Alabama, Mike Rogers.
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Chairman, I rise in support of the Turner
amendment.
This administration must be transparent with the Congress on
negotiating proposals with foreign states, especially on something as
important to U.S. security as missile defense. Numerous members of the
HASC, including Chairman McKeon, have written asking questions of DOD
and the President as to the content of proposals that the
administration is and may be making with the Russians.
We see over and over again Russian officials, after visits by U.S.
officials, referencing proposals that have been made on U.S. missile
defenses. We know from these press reports that the President is
proposing ``executive agreements'' and drafting executive orders to
provide ``legally binding'' constraints on our missile defenses. When
we, as Members of Congress, ask about these proposals, we're told next
to nothing.
It's unacceptable for this administration to stiff-arm the Congress
when negotiating over U.S. missile defenses. I urge my colleagues to
vote ``yes'' on this amendment.
Mr. LARSEN of Washington. Mr. Chairman, again, I would ask my
colleagues to vote ``no'' on this amendment.
We have heard from this side not just the content of this amendment
being sort of out of whack with reality, but also when we consider
whether or not it's necessary to commit a case, this is not a necessary
amendment given the provisions that are already in H.R. 1960.
So I ask my colleagues to vote ``no'' on this amendment and yield
back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Turner).
The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes
appeared to have it.
Mr. LARSEN of Washington. 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 Ohio will be
postponed.

Mr. McKEON (during the reading). Mr. Chairman, I ask unanimous
consent that the reading of the modification be dispensed with.
The Acting CHAIR. Is there objection to the request of the gentleman
from California?
There was no objection.
The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, the amendment is modified.
There was no objection.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 260, the gentleman
from California (Mr. McKeon) and the gentleman from Washington (Mr.
Smith) each will control 10 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from California.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I urge the committee to adopt the
amendments en bloc, all of which have been examined by both the
majority and the minority.
At this time, I yield 1 minute to my friend and colleague, the
gentleman from Texas (Mr. Culberson).
Mr. CULBERSON. Mr. Chairman, my amendment No. 66 in the bill is very
straightforward.
The Medal of Honor is our Nation's highest award, given only to those
soldiers who have performed personal acts of valor above and beyond the
call of duty. The medal has been made of brass. My amendment today
would ensure that from this day forward, the Medal of Honor be made of
gold. It's the least we can do for our bravest soldiers who have earned
America's highest award, and I would move passage.
Mr. LARSEN of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the
gentleman from California (Mr. Cardenas).
[[Page H3560]]
Mr. CARDENAS. Mr. Chairman, I'd also like to thank Chairman McKeon
and Ranking Member Smith for their leadership in bringing this bill to
the floor. I also want to thank them for allowing me to speak on my
amendments, even though they will be considered later on today.
The three amendments that I have offered will strengthen our Nation's
cybersecurity so we can effectively defend our Nation, economy, and
innovation.
We all know that cyber-based terrorism, espionage, computer
intrusions, and fraud are not going away any time soon. These attacks
occur far more frequently and far more rapidly and are more
sophisticated than most people would care to know. Anonymity makes it
difficult to trace the origin of these attacks and prosecute criminals.
These attacks are not only intended to steal defense secrets and
technology, but are also targeted at some of our most critical
industries. According to a Mandiant study, those industries include
construction and manufacturing; media, advertisement, and
entertainment; financial services; health care; food and agriculture;
and education. This is not only a national security issue but also an
economic issue as well.
My first amendment strengthens our preparedness and ability to fend
off attacks by expanding our understanding of the economic impact of
cyber intrusions on the U.S. defense industry. It also requires the
Department of Defense to identify ways to protect our intellectual
property when attacks occur.
My second amendment directs the Secretary of Defense to establish an
outreach and education program to educate small businesses on cyber
threats and assist them in developing plans to protect intellectual
property and their networks.
My third amendment ensures that the comprehensive mission analysis of
cyber operations mandated in this bill also includes an assessment of
the retention, recruitment, and management of the cyber workforce.
The Department of Defense must provide appropriate incentives,
opportunities, and professional development paths that will encourage
civilians and servicemembers to enter and hone their technical skills
that they need to be part of this cyber field.
These amendments will strengthen our national security, and I urge
their passage.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, at this time, I yield 2 minutes to the
gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Young) for the purpose of a colloquy.
Mr. YOUNG of Indiana. I thank the distinguished gentleman for
yielding.
Mr. Chairman, I rise to commend the Armed Services Committee on their
excellent work here, and I want to take this opportunity to highlight
an issue addressed in last year's NDAA which required the Secretary of
Defense to produce a report this fall that examines an issue of great
importance.
During my prior service on the Armed Services Committee, I learned of
a discrepancy in the law where military facilities closed outside of
the BRAC process are not given the same indemnification against
liabilities that are a result of hazardous substances left over from
any previous DOD activities.
Several Army ammunition plants were closed outside of the BRAC
process, and because DOD is not required to maintain responsibility for
potential problems related to military use, we are hindering
redevelopment of these properties.
{time} 1840
Last year, I wrote a bill called the Base Redevelopment and
Indemnification Correction Act, or the BRIC Act, that would extend the
same BRAC protections to non-BRAC closed facilities. It was included in
the House-passed NDAA but was removed during conference. However,
language was adopted that requires a DOD assessment of the status of
these former defense facilities as well as recommendations to
facilitate their redevelopment. Local redevelopers should not be held
responsible for any lingering issues that were a result of DOD
operations.
I anticipate the Secretary's report on this matter will provide a
path forward for these former military installations that remain
disadvantaged without these important indemnification protections. I
thank the chairman for his continued support to address this ongoing
issue and look forward to working with the committee after the report
is released to address this glaring anomaly.
I yield to the gentleman from California.
Mr. McKEON. I thank the gentleman.
Reuse of former military installations is essential for the local
communities and in many circumstances represents a real opportunity to
amortize the initial costs of a new development.
I also look forward to receiving a copy of the Secretary's report and
I hope it will inform Congress so that we may address this important
issue in a deliberate and thoughtful manner. I specifically look
forward to hearing the Secretary's recommendations in dealing with this
important matter.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. LARSEN of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the
gentleman from California (Mr. Takano).
Mr. TAKANO. I thank the gentleman from Washington for yielding.
Mr. Chairman, I rise today to express my strong support for the
amendments submitted by the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Cummings),
known previously as H.R. 1842, the Military Family Home Protection Act.
As a member of the Veterans Affairs Committee and the ranking member
of the Economic Opportunity Subcommittee, taking care of our
servicemembers and their families is one of my top priorities. This
legislation does just that: it takes care of our heroes.
By staying foreclosures when servicemembers are receiving hostile
fire or when they are medically discharged, by doubling the civil
penalties for mortgage-related violations, and by prohibiting banks
from discriminating against servicemembers, veterans or surviving
spouses, the Military Family Home Protection Act no longer allows our
heroes and their families to be taken advantage of.
Since the economic downturn, more than 700 servicemembers have been
wrongfully foreclosed on, and more than 1,500 servicemembers have been
subjected to illegal practices by mortgage providers. The men and women
who fight bravely for our Nation deserve better.
The Acting CHAIR (Mr. Holding). The time of the gentleman has
expired.
Mr. LARSEN of Washington. I yield an additional 15 seconds to the
gentleman.
Mr. TAKANO. We owe it to them not to allow their families to be
thrown out of their houses when they are putting their lives on the
line in the name of freedom.
I urge my colleagues to support our military families.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I yield to the chairman of the Foreign
Affairs Committee for the purpose of a colloquy.
Mr. ROYCE. Mr. Chairman, I have a colloquy on an amendment I intend
to withdraw.
Mr. Chairman, we are facing a serious and growing national security
threat in central Africa. Rebel groups, long active in the region, have
taken on a new form of illicit activity to fill their coffers, and that
form is poaching. On the black market, ivory from elephant tusks runs
over $1,000 per kilo. Rhino horns are worth more than their weight in
gold--$30,000 per pound.
The black market for wildlife is now in the league of drug smuggling.
The low risk and high reward of poaching makes it ideal for criminal
groups, but also for extremist groups. Indeed, groups like the Lord's
Resistance Army, which the U.S. military is helping Africans to track
down, and the al Qaeda-linked al-Shabaab are reaping the benefits by
brutally slaughtering these majestic, defenseless animals.
These aren't your poor man's poachers either. Many poachers today are
outfitted with night-vision goggles and sophisticated GPS equipment.
They fly helicopters, slaughtering these endangered species from above.
A recent U.N. report cites an increase in advanced weapons used in
poaching, which can be traced back to the fall of Qadhafi in Libya.
Earlier this year, testifying on worldwide threats, the head of our
intelligence community noted that the multibillion-dollar industry of
illicit wildlife trade ``threats to disrupt the rule of law in
important countries
[[Page H3561]]
around the world,'' and that this trade involves ``disparate actors--
from government and military personnel to members of insurgent groups
and transnational organized crime organizations.''
Unfortunately, African nations trying to fight off transnational
poachers lack the capacity to address the problem. With relatively few
security resources dedicated to combating them, poachers operate
freely.
This amendment would have provided authority for the Defense
Department to advise and assist Africans to suppress this illicit
wildlife trade. AFRICOM is rightly involved in many of these regions,
focusing on counterterrorism and on counternarcotics. Since these
illicit activities are interwoven, this is an ideal area to further our
cooperation with African partners, helping their stability, our
security, and the chances that magnificent species aren't extinguished.
The Acting CHAIR. The time of the gentleman has expired.
Mr. McKEON. I yield the gentleman 1 additional minute.
The Acting CHAIR. The chairman's time has expired.
Mr. LARSEN of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the
gentlewoman from New York (Mrs. Lowey).
Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Chairman, the sexual assault epidemic plaguing our
military has taken hold at the academies, which reported 80 cases of
sexual assault last year--a 23 percent increase--and these are just the
cases that were reported. My amendment would require the service
academies to incorporate sexual assault prevention into their ethics
curricula.
Cadets and midshipmen enter academies at an impressionable age. Using
ethics as an avenue to teach sexual assault prevention can strengthen
the core messages of honor and respect in character development. It
would also put discussion of this essential policy at the center of the
service's culture, which must be changed to stop sexual assault in the
military.
I thank the chair and the ranking member for including my amendment
in the en bloc.
Mr. LARSEN of Washington. I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, may I inquire how much time is remaining?
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from California (Mr. McKeon) has 5
minutes remaining on the en bloc amendments.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may consume,
and I yield to the gentleman from California to finish when we were so
rudely interrupted.
Mr. ROYCE. I thank the gentleman.
Chairman McKeon, I know you share my concern with this growing
transnational threat of poaching. And I am hopeful that, looking ahead,
we can work together to address any concerns that may exist and support
a more aggressive U.S. commitment to this problem.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I hope you appreciate my weak attempt at
humor.
The Acting CHAIR. Indeed.
Mr. McKEON. I would like to start off first by acknowledging the
longstanding work that Chairman Royce has done on this issue.
The gentleman from California spelled out the growing links between
poaching and terrorist groups in Africa. I share his concern. He is
also correct that AFRICOM is continuing to engage with our African
partners in a variety of ways.
Under Chairman Royce's leadership, I understand that the Foreign
Affairs Committee will be continuing to look into illegal wildlife
trafficking in Africa and the national security consequences. I fully
support that effort. I believe that we should seek a greater
understanding of the linkages between these illicit activities and find
an interagency approach to counter this threat.
The U.S. military has a role to play in countering terrorist groups
and their networks that would target our national interests in this
region. So I look forward to our two committees continuing to work
together.
Mr. ROYCE. I appreciate the Chairman's comments.
Mr. McKEON. I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. LARSEN of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the
gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Holt).
Mr. HOLT. I thank the gentleman.
I just wanted to describe two amendments that I have that the
chairman and the leadership were kind enough to include en bloc.
I am a member of the United States commission on research and
development in the intelligence community. I won't go through the whole
report--in fact, it's being declassified in part now--but we talk about
the great looming threat to our technological advantage in the
intelligence arena--the shortage of scientists, engineers, and
mathematicians.
{time} 1850
I have an amendment directing the Secretary of Defense to report to
Congress within 60 days from this bill on whether the science,
mathematics, and research transformation of the SMART scholarship
program is providing adequate help to undergraduate and graduate
students to meet our scientific and technical needs.
Mr. Chairman, I appreciate the Rules Committee making this amendment
in order, My amendment's purpose is to ensure that the United States
defense and intelligence communities have the necessary scientific and
technical talent in the years ahead so that our nation maintains its
ability to avoid strategic surprise and preserve our technological edge
against known or potential opponents.
For the last 18 months, I have served as a member of the United
States Commission on Research and Development in the Intelligence
Community. Although the Commission was created in law as part of the
annual Intelligence Authorization Act passed a decade ago, it was not
funded and no Commissioners were appointed until the Fiscal Year 2012
budget was passed. Indeed, funding for the Commission was blocked for
several years by the then chairman of HPSCI. The Commission did not
formally start meeting until early 2012. My colleague from Texas, Rep.
Conaway, is also a member of the Commission, as are Senators Mark
Warner of Virginia and Dan Coats of Indiana. The balance of the
commission is made up of former government officials with S&T
expertise, a former NSC official, a Silicon Valley venture capitalist,
a Wall Street banker, and a university president with a deep scientific
background, among others.
Our mandate was to examine the current state of the IC's R&D efforts
& make recommendations for changes where necessary. Classified and
unclassified versions of our report were delivered to the House
Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence just before Memorial Day,
and the unclassified version will be released soon, most likely before
the July 4th holiday. I encourage all Members to take the time to
review the full classified report at their earliest convenience.
Because the unclassified version remains under an embargo for the
moment, I cannot discuss directly our key findings. However, I can and
will give you this Commissioner's view on the single greatest looming
threat to our technological advantage in the intelligence arena: a
potential shortage of scientists, engineers, and mathematicians.
My amendment seeks to address that potential shortage by directing
the Secretary of Defense to report to Congress within 60 days of the
enactment of this bill on whether the Science, Mathematics and Research
for Transformation or SMART scholarship program is providing the
necessary number of undergraduate students to meet our scientific and
technical needs, specifically in the defense and intelligence
communities. If the Secretary assess that the existing SMART program
will not be sufficient, he is to make recommendations to Congress on
what measures would be necessary to ensure our scientific and technical
talent pipeline is sufficient to meet our projected needs.
I offer this amendment because I have already seen evidence that such
an assessment is overdue and urgently needed.
At a recent cyber briefing on the Hill, CYBERCOM officials told my
staff that NSA is seeing a marked increase in employees asking to have
resumes undergo clearance reviews so they can look for other jobs.
During my own visit to some other NSA facilities in the DC metro area
last year, I heard from NSA officials that some universities are now
telling NSA--in writing--that their pay scales are not sufficiently
competitive. These are warning signs of a potential skilled personnel
shortage in the S&T components of the IC, and the Commission found
others as you will see in our report. If adopted, this amendment will
allow us to take a much needed step towards assessing our defense and
intelligence personnel needs in the areas of science, technology,
mathematics and engineering. Accordingly, I urge adoption of my
amendment.
I have another amendment that grew out of a suicide tragedy in my
district.
[[Page H3562]]
This amendment would allow any State adjutant general to request
information for any Individual Ready Reserve or any individual
mobilization augmentee living in the State so that the adjutant general
can provide suicide prevention and outrage services for such
Reservists.
Mr. Chairman, I thank the Rules Committee for making this amendment
in order. The purpose of this amendment is to ensure that suicide
outreach and prevention programs reach specific at-risk populations of
Reservists.
Sergeant Coleman Bean of East Brunswick, New Jersey did two combat
tours in Iraq. In between and after those tours, he sought treatment
for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Because Sgt. Bean was a
member of the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR)--a pool of Reserve
soldiers not assigned to any unit but available for mobilization if
needed--he could not get treatment for his condition because the
Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs refused to take ownership
of Sgt. Bean and the thousands like him. Since his death in the fall of
2008, I have worked in a bipartisan way to secure additional funding
for suicide prevention and outreach services for our active duty, Guard
and Reserve members, and for our veterans. One component of that
outreach effort must involve our state National Guard Adjutant
Generals.
My amendment would allow any state AG to request contact information
for any IRR or Individual Mobilization Augmentee (IMA) living in their
state so that the AG can provide suicide prevention and outreach
services to such Reservists.
Within my own state, our extremely successful Vet2Vet and the
national Vets4Warriors program have been providing peer-to-peer
counseling services for years. Its success was so great--no
servicemember who used the program took his or her life--that the 2010
DoD Task Force on the Prevention of Suicide by Members of the Armed
Forces recommended that Vet2Vet should be examined as a potential
national model. In December 2011, the National Guard Bureau decided to
support a parallel, national program to Vet2Vet, named Vets4Warriors to
denote its national character, and designated it as the program of
record for Guard personnel nationwide who were seeking counseling
services.
The key reason these programs work so well is that every person who
takes a call from a servicemember or veteran is also a former
servicemember. This peer-to-peer connection is vital in building the
trust necessary to get a soldier or veteran with a problem to open up
about their experiences, fears, needs and hopes. Both Vet2Vet and
Vets4Warriors work in direct partnership with the New Jersey Department
of Military and Veterans Affairs, and thus passing this amendment would
allow all Adjutant Generals, including New Jersey's, to conduct
targeted suicide prevention and outreach to IRR and IMA members in
their states.
Mr. Chairman, the suicide epidemic sweeping our armed forces can only
eliminated if we utilize every tool at our disposal to reach every
servicemember or veteran who may be at risk. Passing this amendment
would give us one more such tool, I urge my colleagues to support this
amendment.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I continue to reserve the balance of my
time.
Mr. LARSEN of Washington. Mr. Chairman, we have no more speakers on
the en bloc, and I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, how much time do I have remaining?
The ACTING CHAIR. The gentleman from California has 3\3/4\ minutes.
Mr. McKEON. Thank you very much. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself the
balance of that time.
Just an hour ago, the President confirmed chemical weapons, including
sarin gas, have been used by the Assad regime against Syrian civilians.
The President has stated that a red line has been crossed. But I would
observe that red lines are meaningless unless they are backed by
action.
The underlying bill reflects a sense of Congress that any red line
should be backed with substantive measures. The White House stated this
evening that President Obama agrees with this sentiment.
Tonight, representatives of the National Security Council stated:
The President has made the decision to support Syrian
opposition. That includes military support.
I expect to see more details in the coming days from the White House
and the Department of Defense.
I am, however, deeply concerned about our ability to honor and uphold
red lines. Our military readiness and our ability to respond is
degraded today. Seventeen combat coded Air Force squadrons are grounded
due to budget cuts. A carrier battle group should be in the Middle
East, but instead is in port. We just pulled the last A-10 ground
attack squadron out of Germany because some felt that a forward-
operating presence was unnecessary for a so-called Cold War mission.
Yet we have an amendment here this evening that would cut $5 billion
that, in addition to funding the troops in Afghanistan, provides
support to help alleviate deep readiness problems that are porting our
ships and grounding our fighter jets.
Another amendment this evening would strike the very sense of
Congress that all courses of action, not just military, should be
considered in Syria and that our red lines must have meaning.
Reality has overwhelmed both of these proposals.
To my friends who think there is no risk to ever-deeper cuts, I ask
you to tell that to the airman and the sailor who may well face down
Syrian missiles in the coming weeks. To my friends who are
contemplating further cuts when they vote tomorrow, consider that you
may be denying that warfighter the hour of training or the piece of
hardware that means the difference between life and death. None of us
is comfortable in putting them into harm's way at this time, or in that
place; but that does not mean that they may not have to go. And that
does not mean we shouldn't give them all they need.
Here Congress and the White House agree in principle. Boundaries are
useless unless they are enforced and resourced.
I yield back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendments en bloc offered
by the gentleman from California (Mr. McKeon).
The en bloc amendments were agreed to.
Amendment No. 22 Offered by Mr. Holt
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 22
printed in part B of House Report 113-108.
Mr. HOLT. I have an amendment at the desk, Mr. Chairman.
The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:
Strike page 59, line 15, and all that follows through page
72, line 12.
Strike page 72, line 23, and all that follows through page
79, line 23.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 260, the gentleman
from New Jersey (Mr. Holt) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from New Jersey.
Mr. HOLT. I thank the Chair, and I thank the Rules Committee and the
leadership of the Armed Services Committee for making this amendment in
order.
Mr. Chairman, the amendment's purpose is simple: to eliminate the
missile defense-related portions of the bill with the exception of the
relatively successful Iron Dome program.
As some of you may know, I have been involved with arms control
issues for decades, since I was a part of the U.S. Geneva delegation
sent to investigate the then-Soviet phased array radar in Krasnoyarsk
in the early 1980s. My training as a physicist, as well as the decades
I've spent dealing with these issues, long ago led me to conclude a
couple of things: effective strategic ballistic missile defense systems
have not been and are not likely to be technically feasible; and,
second, attempting to build them only fuels the international arms
race.
If you don't believe the latter point, let me quote from a Russian
Television story on June 8 of this year:
Russia's Strategic Missile Forces have reported a
successful launch of a next-generation ICBM that can
supposedly pierce any antiballistic missile system. The test
came after the U.S. announced it would resume its ABM program
in Europe.
That is a description of the arms race that should have ended years
ago.
The article goes on to quote Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry
Rogozin who says that the new Russian ICBM was a ``missile defense
killer. Neither current nor future American missile defense systems
will be able to prevent that missile from hitting the target dead on.''
Yes, arms race.
[[Page H3563]]
Just as it has for over 30 years, our continued pursuit of a
strategic ballistic missile defense system is perpetuating the arms
race, in this case between the United States and Russia, and would
perpetuate arms races between the United States and China or others. It
is also an expense we cannot afford.
The Missile Defense Agency itself estimates that since fiscal year
1985, Congress has appropriated $149.5 billion for strategic ballistic
missile defense programs, and the system has still never been tested
successfully against any of the kind of real-world threats offered by
missiles equipped with decoys, jammers, and so on.
This bill proposes to continue throwing good money after bad, with
one exception: the tactical Iron Dome missile defense system. Our
Israeli allies, with funding approved by this Congress and that I have
supported, and many here have supported, have developed what is
arguably the best, and certainly most well-tested, tactical missile
defense system in the world. It is not perfect, and the missile defense
experts, both here and in Israel, continue to debate the exact kill
rate, which Israeli officials claim is 84 percent. What is clear is
that this system is more practical and more immediately useful for the
defense of Israel than our strategic defense system is for us.
What my amendment would do is stop the United States from throwing
more money at a failed, politically destabilizing strategic missile
defense system and instead would allow continuing funding for further
development of efforts for Iron Dome and tactical systems like that--
the kind of systems that may help save lives in Israel and save lives
of deployed American troops should they face opponents like North Korea
or Iran.
Accordingly, I urge my colleagues to support this, and I reserve the
balance of my time.
{time} 1900
Mr. McKEON. I rise to claim time in opposition to the amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from California is recognized for 5
minutes.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, at this time, I yield 3 minutes to my
friend and colleague, the chairman of the Strategic Forces
Subcommittee, the gentleman from Alabama (Mr. Rogers).
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. I thank the chairman.
I rise in vigorous opposition to Mr. Holt's amendment. At a time when
the technical and strategic case for missile defense has never been
stronger, the gentleman's amendment would strike bipartisan provisions
that will improve our missile defenses.
For example, the amendment would strike a provision the committee
adopted that would improve the kill assessment capability of the
Ground-Based Midcourse Defense system. Why would the gentleman want a
national missile defense system with a less robust kill assessment
capability than is technically possible?
The amendment would strike a provision dealing with an Analysis of
Alternatives on the future space sensor architecture for our missile
defense system. Does the gentleman not want an informed judgment and
study on a persistent overhead space sensor system? The gentleman may
be laboring under misimpressions of missile defense.
I know there are so-called ``experts'' in the disarmament community
who labor to create doubts about our missile defense system, but I ask,
How many of these ``experts'' have been briefed on what the system
does, on the incredibly technically demanding tests that the
warfighters create? I would say none.
I urge the gentleman to withdraw his amendment, to come get some
classified briefings; and let's see if we can't add him to the
overwhelming bipartisan group of policymakers that supports a strong
and robust national and regional missile defense system.
With that, Mr. Chairman, I ask the Members to vote ``no.''
Mr. HOLT. Mr. Chairman, may I ask the time remaining.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from New Jersey has 45 seconds
remaining.
Mr. HOLT. I thank the Chair.
I will just quickly say then, in closing, that the desire for a
strategic missile defense system may be as strong as it ever has been;
but the demonstrations, the accomplishments of the work towards such a
system are no further along than they have been for decades.
We can repeal legislation--we could repeal, perhaps, ObamaCare if the
other side had its way--but we cannot repeal the laws of physics, and
long experience with this tells me this is a wasteful program. The Iron
Dome tactical system and systems like that, on the other hand, are
worth pursuing, and I propose keeping that funding intact.
I yield back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from California has 3\1/2\ minutes
remaining.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I yield the balance of my time to my friend
and colleague, the gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Lamborn).
Mr. LAMBORN. I thank the chairman of the full committee. I also
appreciate what the chairman of the subcommittee, the gentleman from
Alabama (Mr. Rogers), has said. I totally agree with what he has
already put forward.
Against this amendment, I would have to add that one of the other
things it does which is harmful to our national defense is to stop the
progress we are making on creating a third site on the eastern coast of
the United States for missile defense.
The gentleman quoted some Russian television commentator. That has no
relevance to what Ground-Based Midcourse Defense is all about. Ground-
Based Midcourse Defense is against a rogue missile fired from a North
Korea or an Iran or from some country like that or is an accidental
single launch from another country. It is not to fight against the
Russians or the Chinese. That's not it at all. We have some
interceptors already in place in Alaska and in California. The eastern
site would add that same capability of defense against a rogue missile
on the east coast.
I happen to believe that we should be protecting the east coast
better than we are today. I think the people of New Jersey, let's say,
deserve just as much protection as the people of California, and we
have that capability.
You said it hasn't defeated jammers and decoys. The North Koreans
don't have jammers and decoys. The Iranians aren't even that far along.
They're not as far along as the North Koreans.
We don't have to have the perfect. In this case, the perfect would be
the enemy of the good. We have had missiles in tests like a bullet
shooting down a bullet. We have had many successful tests, and we could
stop a North Korean or an Iranian missile. We have that on the west
coast. We should have that on the east coast. This Congress in last
year's NDAA put in language calling for an environmental assessment and
study of the east coast site. That should go forward. Unfortunately,
this amendment, should it pass, would stop this progress in its tracks.
So for that reason and for the reasons already stated by
Representative Rogers, I would urge a strong ``no.'' This would be
destructive of missile defense. This would be destructive of our
national defense. Please vote ``no.''
Mr. THORNBERRY. I yield back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Holt).
The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the noes
appeared to have it.
Mr. HOLT. 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 New Jersey
will be postponed.
Amendment No. 25 Offered by Ms. McCollum
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 25
printed in part B of House Report 113-108.
Ms. McCOLLUM. 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 title V, add the following new section:
SEC. 5__. PROHIBITION ON ARMY NATIONAL GUARD SPONSORSHIPS OF
PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING ENTERTAINMENT OR MOTOR
SPORTS.
Section 503(a) of title 10, United States Code, is amended
by adding at the end the following new paragraph:
[[Page H3564]]
``(3) Recruiting and advertising campaigns authorized by
paragraphs (1) and (2) or by any other provision of law,
including section 561(b) of the Floyd D. Spence National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2001 (as enacted
into law by Public Law 106-398; 114 Stat. 1654A-129; 10
U.S.C. 503 note), for the purposes of branding or marketing
of, or promoting enlistment in, the Army National Guard may
not include payments for professional wrestling entertainment
sponsorships or motor sports sponsorships. Nothing in this
paragraph shall be construed to prohibit recruiters from
making direct, personal contact with secondary school
students and other prospective recruits.''.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 260, the gentlewoman
from Minnesota (Ms. McCollum) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Minnesota.
Ms. McCOLLUM. The Army National Guard is spending over $53 million in
taxpayer funds this year to sponsor World Wrestling Entertainment and
motor sports racing.
That's right. At a time of enormous Federal budget deficits, endless
borrowing from China, sequestration's harming military readiness, and
deep cuts to services for vulnerable children, seniors and people with
disabilities, the Army National Guard is spending over $53 million to
have its logo highlighted at World Wrestling Entertainment events and
to sponsor NASCAR racing and IndyCar racing. After years of
congressional debate, the Army National Guard still cannot provide any
data--zero statistics--to demonstrate anyone has signed a recruiting
contract as a result of this program.
This amendment can bring both liberals and Tea Party conservatives
together. The fact that $53 million in taxpayer funds is going to
sponsor some of the most violent and sexist entertainment on television
and NASCAR racing teams that result in zero recruits is a waste of
money, and it should be stopped.
As a member of the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee, over and over
these past 3 months, our subcommittee has heard from military leaders
that sequestration is causing a crisis: military readiness is
diminished; hundreds of thousands of critical civilian Pentagon
employees are being furloughed; and vital services, like access to
mental health care, are being cut. In fact, the National Guard
testified that, because of sequestration, 115,000 traditional National
Guard forces will not receive their annual medical or dental
examinations.
The Guard says: ``This reduction in examinations will bring total
force medical readiness down by 39 percent.''
Yet the National Guard can afford to pay one NASCAR race car driver
$29 million and to pay another driver $14 million for IndyCar racing?
Clearly, this is a case of misplaced priorities. Congress has to make
tough choices and smart cuts. Terminating this wasteful, ineffective
program is an easy choice unless you want to protect government
handouts to millionaire race car drivers and owners.
In the past, some of my conservative friends have made the claim that
cutting this wasteful spending was micromanaging the Pentagon.
{time} 1910
My job is not to protect race car track owners and millionaire race
car drivers. Cutting government waste and protecting taxpayer dollars
is not micromanaging. It is our job.
In recent years, the Army, Navy, and the Marine Corps have all
terminated NASCAR sponsorships because these sponsorships failed to
meet their recruiting goals. They're making other more effective
investments in recruiting dollars.
The Army is sponsoring high school football, the All-American Bowl.
That's fantastic. They're also sponsoring robotic competitions to
engage with and help our young people develop the skills to best
service our Nation and to serve in the Armed Forces.
The very best marketing and branding the Army National Guard gets is
not from a logo on a race car or a violent wrestling performance. It is
from the lifesaving work that our National Guardsmen and -women perform
during times of crisis in our communities during the floods, during the
forest fires, and during national disasters.
I am so proud of the service and sacrifice of the Minnesota National
Guardsmen and -women who have served our Nation in Kosova, Iraq,
Afghanistan, and at home in Minnesota over the past decade. They are
heroes.
The opponents of my amendment believe that a $29 million taxpayer-
funded logo on a race car results in National Guard recruits and
reenlistments. Based on what? The National Guard has failed to prove
any data, no program measures, that this program has resulted in any
recruits--zero data, zero recruits.
This Republican Congress is cutting children off of school lunch
programs and kicking them off of Head Start to save money. This
Congress is willing to inflict sequestration on our military, and it
undermines our readiness. This amendment gives Members an opportunity
to cut real waste.
Mr. Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I claim time in opposition.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Texas is recognized for 5
minutes.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the distinguished
gentleman from North Carolina (Mr. Hudson).
Mr. HUDSON. Mr. Chairman, I rise amongst a broad bipartisan coalition
to oppose this misguided amendment offered by my colleague from
Minnesota.
Mr. Chairman, facts are a stubborn thing. The National Guard has
reiterated time and time again the immense value of their recruiting
and retention programs in professional motor sports. The facts of this
program show a successful return on investment for the taxpayers.
To demonstrate the success of this program, I would like to cite
three crystal clear numbers which support strong opposition to this
amendment:
First, 90 percent. In the June 4 letter to House Appropriations, the
National Guard Association of the United States and their counterpart,
the Enlisted Association of the National Guard, stated that a recent
independent study found that 90 percent of the Army National Guard
soldiers who enlisted or reenlisted were exposed to the Guard from
recruiting or retention materials featuring NASCAR drivers and their
cars. That's a real return on your investment, a return on the invest
of the American people;
Second, 85 percent. Of those who enlisted or reenlisted during that
time period, 85 percent agree that professional sports are beneficial
to attracting and retaining good soldiers. That's, again, a good return
on your investment;
And the last number is 400,000. Since embarking on a more robust use
of professional sport sponsorships in fiscal year 2007, the Army
National Guard has added more than 400,000 new soldiers. That, Mr.
Chairman, is a return on your investment.
Mr. Chairman, these facts come from sound research and independent
study which the National Guard has shared with us, and I will enter
into the Record my remarks here today.
I submit these facts to my colleagues and encourage them to consider
the tremendous return on investment we would be stealing from our
Nation's military and hardworking taxpayers if this amendment were to
pass. I urge my colleagues to vote ``no.''
National Guard Association of the United States, Enlisted
Association of the National Guard of the United States,
June 4, 2013.
Hon. Bill Young,
Chairman, House Appropriations Committee, Defense
Subcommittee, Washington, DC.
Hon. Pete Visclosky,
Ranking Member, House Appropriations Committee, Defense
Subcommittee, Washington, DC.
Dear Chairman and Ranking Member of the House
Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense: As you may be aware,
there have been proposals in Congress to restrict the
Department of Defense's ability to utilize sports
sponsorships as part of recruitment and retention campaigns.
We would urge you to oppose any effort to restrict DoD
leadership's ability to utilize creative and innovative
tactics to ensure that the National Guard is able to promote
their career opportunities.
Recruiting for the all-volunteer force isn't what it used
to be. Only one in every four young people today is even
eligible to join. Today, you have to know how smart, fit
young people think, where they live and play, and go to them.
Innovative techniques such as sports sponsorships help the
National Guard do just that.
The enhanced use of sponsorships was a direct response to
specific recruiting challenges faced during the height of the
wars in
[[Page H3565]]
Iraq and Afghanistan in 2006 and 2007, when traditional and
more expensive recruiting efforts were failing to attract
enough quality applicants. It was during this time period
that recruiting goals were reached, partly, by lowering
minimum entrance requirements and accepting enlistees who
lacked high school diplomas, had low scores on the military's
aptitude test, or received waivers for criminal and medical
problems. However, since embarking on a more robust use of
professional sports sponsorships in fiscal year 2007, the
Army National Guard has added more than 400,000 new soldiers.
A recent study has found that 90 percent of Army National
Guard soldiers who enlisted or re-enlisted since 2007 were
exposed to the Guard through recruiting or retention
materials featuring NASCAR cars and/or drivers. Of those who
enlisted or re-enlisted during that time period, 85 percent
agree that professional sports are beneficial to attracting
and retaining good soldiers. The survey also found that
racing fans are an especially receptive group for National
Guard recruiting. NASCAR enthusiasts aged 18-34, the National
Guard's target age demographic, are twice as likely to
consider a military career than non-fans.
For the National Guard, marketing through sports is a
direct appeal to our target audience and their influencers,
providing the opportunity to reach individuals who are like-
minded. Any limitations or bans on this may look good on the
surface in a tight fiscal environment, but, in reality, it
would provide no savings and hinder the National Guard's
effort to reach the most qualified potential recruits.
Sponsorships provide the Guard a national platform to build
relationships, promote our image and aid in recruiting
efforts. The recruiting and retention dollars spent through
sports sponsorships increase the National Guard's prestige
and visibility, as well as help generate recruiting leads at
events.
But these sport sponsorships go beyond a race or match.
They extend into the community, creating partnerships to
develop a national effort to address issues affecting
military personnel and their spouses, including providing
education assistance, combating unemployment, fostering
technology sharing and innovation, and sharing the story of
the National Guard.
Pro sports sponsorships are not just a matter of money.
They are an effective and important marketing platform for
awareness and development to target future potential
recruits, while also working to improve the lives of our
Guardsmen and women.
I ask that you please support the National Guard's
continued efforts to partner with professional sports
programs and create lasting community partnerships that
positively impact our National Guard.
Thank you for your consideration on this matter.

Major General, USA, (Ret.), President, NGAUS.

New Research: Sports Sponsorships Valuable to Military Recruitment
New research paints a clear picture of the value
sponsorships and marketing around professional sports provide
the U.S. military and its efforts to recruit and retain
soldiers. Conducted by respected independent firm Alan Newman
Research, the empirical study was deployed through a joint
initiative by the Enlisted Association of the National Guard
of the United States (EANGUS) and the National Guard
Association of the United States (NGAUS). The effort surveyed
thousands of Americans, including general population, sports
fans and, for the first time, more than 1,300 currently
serving and retired National Guard soldiers and airmen.
NASCAR Drives Recruiting
The Army National Guard has added more than 400,000 new
soldiers since fiscal year 2007 when the Department of
Defense embarked on a more robust use of professional sports
sponsorships for recruiting purposes. During this time, the
National Guard has leveraged NASCAR as a key platform to
promote its career opportunities, reporting a three-to-one
return on the current sponsorship program while routinely
meeting and exceeding recruiting targets. Most recently, the
Army National Guard exceeded fiscal-year-to-date 2013
accession goal by more than 1,000 recruits (or 104 percent).
Ninety percent of Army National Guard soldiers who enlisted
or re-enlisted from 2007-2013 said they have been exposed to
the Guard through recruiting or retention materials that
incorporated NASCAR. Of those who enlisted or re-enlisted
since 2007, 85 percent agree that professional sports are
beneficial to the National Guard's overall efforts to attract
and retain soldiers. More than six of ten of all National
Guard respondents have seen NASCAR leveraged at a recruiting
center or event.
Fans Advocate for Military Careers
Research confirms the NASCAR audience is tailor-made for
programs promoting career opportunities in the U.S. military.
Young fans (age 18-34) of NASCAR are twice as likely as non-
fans in the same age group to consider the military as a
career option. In addition, NASCAR fans are more passionate
advocates for military careers. They are 20 percent more
likely than non-fans to be ``very likely'' to support a
friend or family members choice to pursue military service.
The Power of Patriotism
National Guard members consider NASCAR, which hosts
swearing-in ceremonies for hundreds of new recruits each
year, the most patriotic of all major professional sports. In
a powerful statement for recruiting and retention programs
that utilize NASCAR, a nearly unanimous 92 percent of
National Guard respondents say they are more likely to engage
with an organization that they perceive as pathetic over
competitors.
Americans Support Military Recruitment
Americans clearly support the ability of the U.S. military
to recruit where it sees fit. An overwhelming 83 percent
believe military branches should be able to promote career
opportunities where the branches feel a receptive audience
will be found. Just 12 percent of Americans do net feel that
fans of professional sports represent a reasonable target
audience for recruiting programs.
Opportunities Across Pro Sports
Nearly all members of the National Guard are avid fans of
at least one major professional sport, notably the National
Football League, Major League Baseball and NASCAR. Guard
soldiers are similarly interested in pro sports in their home
areas--such as minor league baseball and hockey, arena
football and local short-track racing--indicating
opportunities for recruiting and retention programs at the
grassroots level in hundreds of communities around the
country. A majority of Americans--64 percent--are more likely
to engage with organizations that, like the National Guard,
are affiliated with a favorite sport, team or athlete.
Conclusion: Sponsorships Work for the Military
For the same reasons they are a preferred venue for
corporate advertising, NASCAR and other professional sports
are a prime place for recruitment advertising due to wide and
devoted fan bases and demographics ideal for messaging
regarding military careers. For the National Guard,
participation in NASCAR allows the opportunity to leverage
the largest American spectator sport with a massive and loyal
fan base of 75 million. Sports marketing is a widely accepted
and important piece of the marketing mix for the most
successful brands and organizations in the world, and it
should remain so for the U.S. military.
Ms. McCOLLUM. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may
consume.
The Army decided to end its 10-year NASCAR sponsorship, calling it
``not a good investment'' because 5 percent of NASCAR viewers weren't
even the age for recruitment.
Let's end this wasteful program. Let's put the money to work to
recruit and keep a strong military. I ask for the Members to support my
amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time.

Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the distinguished
gentlelady from North Carolina (Ms. Foxx).
Ms. FOXX. Mr. Chairman, I thank the gentleman for yielding and for
his leadership on this issue.
NASCAR is a vital part of the National Guard's outreach to young
Americans. NASCAR fans between the age of 18 and 34 are twice as likely
as their peers to consider the military. Their fellow fans are more
likely to support their friends and family members choosing the
military as a career option.
[[Page H3566]]
Advertising through NASCAR gives the military a cost-effective way to
reach 75 million patriotic fans. That's why it is has reported a 3-to-1
return on the program's investment.
NASCAR support of the military goes beyond mere sponsorship
opportunities. NASCAR holds swearing in ceremonies for hundreds of new
recruits each year, giving the fans a real-life example of the
patriotism they support. NASCAR is a real part of hundreds of American
communities.
The National Guard has chosen to use its limited recruiting budget
through the means it feels are most effective. We should not force it
to turn its back on a proven means of leveraging that budget and
introducing millions of potential heros to their opportunity to serve.
I urge my fellow Americans to oppose this amendment and thank the
chairman for the opportunity to speak.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the distinguished
gentleman from New York (Mr. Collins).
Mr. COLLINS of New York. Mr. Chairman, this amendment wrongly targets
one of our best recruiting practices of the National Guard.
Motor sports sponsorship programs have helped the Guard add 400,000
new citizen soldiers since it was begun in 2007, many of whom were
sworn in right at the track. Why would we want to cut something that's
working?
Every season, the National Guard emblem is seen by millions on the
hood of Dale Earnhardt, Jr.'s car, one of the most popular drivers
during the last 10 years.
Since the National Guard is prohibited from advertising on broadcast
television, motor sports sponsorships are one of the few ways the Guard
can market to a national audience while still interacting with local
communities.
This amendment takes a strong program proven valuable to our military
readiness and arbitrarily cuts it for the sake of political posturing.
This amendment does not save any money. It does not address any
government excess or impropriety. It unnecessarily attacks our National
Guard, and it shackles their best opportunity to recruit and retain the
very best for national security.
As in the previous two defense authorization acts, I urge Members to
hold strong and continue to oppose this amendment.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the distinguished
subcommittee chairman of the Strategic Forces Subcommittee, Mr. Rogers
of Alabama.
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. I thank the chairman.
I rise in strong opposition to the McCollum amendment. The McCollum
amendment would prohibit the Army National Guard from sponsoring and
advertising in professional motor sports. This amendment would have a
negative impact on the recruiting of soldiers to enlist or reenlist in
the National Guard.
Recent studies have shown that around 90 percent of the Army National
Guard soldiers who enlisted or reenlisted since 2007 were exposed to
this form of advertising. Additionally, these creative advertising
techniques reach a sport with over 75 million loyal viewers, many of
whom are between the age of 18 and 34 years old, the target audience to
recruit quality soldiers for the Army National Guard.
I fully recognize the need for Congress to cut unnecessary spending,
and I have voted many times to rein in government spending; however, I
see no need to prohibit this successful form of advertising which works
to recruit quality men and women to help protect and defend our Nation.
I urge a ``no'' vote on McCollum amendment No. 25.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentlewoman from Minnesota (Ms. McCollum).
The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the noes
appeared to have it.
Ms. McCOLLUM. 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 gentlewoman from Minnesota
will be postponed.
The Chair understands that amendment No. 28 will not be offered.
Amendment No. 32 Offered by Mr. Nolan
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 32
printed in part B of House Report 113-108.
Mr. NOLAN. Mr. Chairman, I offer the amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:
At the end of subtitle A of title X, add the following new
section:
SEC. 10_. ACROSS-THE-BOARD FUNDING REDUCTION.
Notwithstanding the amounts set forth in the funding tables
in division D, the total amount authorized to be appropriated
in this Act is hereby reduced by 9.4 percent.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 260, the gentleman
from Minnesota (Mr. Nolan) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Minnesota.
{time} 1920
Mr. NOLAN. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
Mr. Chairman, I rise today on a matter of the highest priority
critical to the future of our great Nation and our people. It is time
to put an end to the wars of choice and nation-building abroad, and to
start rebuilding America. Daily we are reminded of our Nation's fiscal
crises, massive deficits, and unemployment, and shortage of revenue for
the things that we know we need to do. The simple truth is, the
trillions of dollars spent on the wars of choice and nation-building
abroad are the primary cause of our current financial crises, not
Social Security and Medicare as some would have us believe.
The sad fact is our own bridges are falling down. Our infrastructure
is crumbling, and our education system is struggling, while millions
more middle class men and women are unemployed or underemployed.
Mr. Chairman, I strongly support a strong national defense, but I
also agree completely with my Republican colleague, Congressman Mo
Brooks of Alabama, who recently said:
I don't believe America can financially afford to be the
police cop on every street corner in the world. We no longer
have the financial resources to do that.
In fact, the $652 billion we spent on the military last year amounts
to 57 percent of our discretionary budget. Mind you, education is at 6
percent; agriculture at 1 percent; transportation at 2 percent.
Moreover, that $652 billion spent last year accounts for more than
the next 10-largest military budgets in the world combined--China,
Russia, U.K., Japan, France, Saudi, India, Germany, Italy, Brazil--we
spent more than all of them combined. This $60 billion cut that is
proposed in this amendment, or a 9.4 percent cut that I propose, is not
an unreasonable amount. In fact, it is exactly the same amount the
Commission on Wartime Contracting estimates to have been wasted through
fraud and abuse in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Understand that my amendment is not an across-the-board cut from
every line item as in sequestration, which makes no sense at all. My
proposed cut is a cut from the bottom line that would give the
Appropriations Committee the authority to decide where the cuts can
most prudently be made. And to me, those categories are crystal clear.
We want to cut our excessive network of military bases in every nook
and cranny of the world. We need to cut the failed infrastructure and
investments in nation-building abroad. We need to cut assistance to the
armed combatants in every sectional and civil war in the world. We need
to cut discretionary funds to initiate new programs not authorized by
the Congress. We need to cut funds for the extravagant compensation of
CEOs for giant defense contractors. We need to cut military weapons
systems that were not requested by our military. We need to cut funds
maintaining unnecessary facilities in Guantanamo, and we need to cut
funding maintaining out-of-date weapons systems and naval vessels.
Now, let me be clear where we must not cut. We must not cut veterans
benefits. We must not cut the National Guard. It's our most efficient
bang for the dollar that we get in our national defense. We must not
cut compensation
[[Page H3567]]
to soldiers and their families. We must not cut assistance to Israel
and our other strategic allies. We should not cut funds to the teams
and other elite units that can respond to crises abroad. And we cannot
cut efforts to fund reform of military justice and reduce sexual
assaults in the military.
Moreover, it is my recommendation that the savings achieved here can
be used for deficit reduction and used for investment in our own
infrastructure--our roads, our bridges, our ports, our education, and
the unmet human development needs in this country. We can use this
money to improve the quality of American lives, to stimulate our
economy, to strengthen our power as a Nation, and to help restore
America's confidence in the future.
Finally, Mr. Chairman, my amendment is entirely consistent with the
spirit of the bipartisan Budget Control Act of 2011, which recommended
$1 trillion in defense cuts over the next decade, and consistent as
well with the significant cuts recommended across the spectrum by
liberal policy groups such as the Center for American Progress, as well
as conservative and libertarian groups.
Mr. Chairman, we all support a strong national defense. We support
our troops, and we are committed to our veterans. This amendment is not
politics, it is commonsense economics.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I claim the time in opposition.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Texas is recognized for 5
minutes.
Mr. THORNBERRY. I yield myself 2 minutes.
Mr. Chairman, in some ways I admire the gentleman from Minnesota
because he states clearly what he believes. In my opinion, his
argument, however, is dangerous, and it will mean a very much more
dangerous world for the United States and many of the people around the
world who depend upon us.
If we're going to talk numbers, we ought to just remind everybody
that in 1960 the defense budget was about half of the total budget of
the United States Government. Today, it's 17 percent of the budget for
the United States budget. Now it's true it's most of the discretionary
spending, but that completely leaves out the entitlements or the
mandatory spending programs which are a vast majority of the
government.
In more recent history, let's think about that defense already took a
reduction of $487 billion over a 10-year period. In the current fiscal
year, it was cut another $55 billion. And now this amendment would take
another $60 billion on top of that.
Mr. Chairman, I think defense has been cut enough. If anyone has been
listening to some of the debates we've been having today, you'd hear
about readiness being down, about training not occurring, and about
more expensive procurements because we can't buy at the most efficient
rate. And this amendment would take another $60 billion on top of the
other things, and would include the personnel accounts which were
exempt under sequestration.
But the ironic thing, Mr. Chairman, is that after you take this $60
billion out of defense, it would get hit again once sequestration kicks
in. So in effect this doubles the cuts that come on defense from
sequestration. It is mistaken. It is tragically mistaken, and I think
it should be rejected.
Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the distinguished gentleman from
Alabama (Mr. Rogers).
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Chairman, I never ceased to be amazed in
this Chamber. The only time I see my colleagues on the other side of
the aisle concerned about fiscal restraint and cutting spending is when
it comes to national defense. You know, one of the most knuckle-headed
things this Congress has done is the sequestration framework that I,
unfortunately, was a part of setting into place. But as you just heard
my colleague from Texas state, we had already cut $480 billion out of
defense before sequestration comes into play. Now we have sequestration
coming into play.
The thought that we could be in a war, defend against potential areas
of war that are emerging around the world with further cuts is mindless
and irresponsible. We owe it to the men and women in this country who
serve in uniform and their families to make sure they have everything
they need to be safe and successful when we send them into a theater of
war.
This amendment is dangerous, and I urge my colleagues to reject it.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself the balance of my time.
I appreciate my colleague from Alabama and I would just conclude with
two points. One, is that it is in the Constitution where it clearly
provides that a primary, and I believe the primary responsibility of
the Federal Government, is to defend the country. You can't do that on
the cheap. Obviously, you have to be efficient. You shouldn't waste
money, but the first job of the Federal Government is to defend the
country.
{time} 1930
The second point I'd want to make is this: there are some people who
seem to want to stick their head in the sand and believe that all the
threats have gone away.
As a matter of fact, the President seemed to say a few weeks ago in
his speech that the war on terrorism was over. And then today, the
President acknowledges that there is evidence that is clear, at least
in his mind, that chemical weapons have been used in Syria.
So, whether you think about al Qaeda and its affiliates spreading out
all over the world or whether you think about the very real dangers of
chemical weapons in Syria, not just being used against Syrians, but
potentially getting in the hands of terrorists and being used against
us, or whether you think about the new domain of warfare, which is
cybersecurity, or warfare in space, whether you think about the
potential military rise of China and what that means for the United
States and its interests, as you just wrap your mind around the
headlines and the news of the world, my point is, the threats have not
gone away. This is a dangerous world.
Only the United States is a super power to maintain stability and to
protect the lives and freedoms of Americans. That takes some resources.
We've already cut defense. We've already cut defense enough, and
certainly, we should not cut defense again.
This amendment, as I say, Mr. Chairman, is dangerous. It should be
rejected.
I yield back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentleman from Minnesota (Mr. Nolan).
The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the noes

At the end of title V, add the following new section:
SEC. 5__. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING THE RECOVERY OF THE
REMAINS OF CERTAIN MEMBERS OF THE ARMED FORCES
KILLED IN THURSTON ISLAND, ANTARCTICA.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Commencing August 26, 1946, though late February 1947
the United States Navy Antarctic Developments Program Task
Force 68, codenamed ``Operation Highjump'' initiated and
undertook the largest ever-to-this-date exploration of the
Antarctic continent.
(2) The primary mission of the Task Force 68 organized by
Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd Jr. USN, (Ret) and led by Rear
Admiral Richard H. Cruzen, USN, was to do the following:
(A) Establish the Antarctic research base Little America
IV.
(B) In the defense of the United States of America from
possible hostile aggression from abroad - to train personnel
test equipment, develop techniques for establishing,
maintaining and utilizing air bases on ice, with
applicability comparable to interior Greenland, where
conditions are similar to those of the Antarctic.
(C) Map and photograph a full two-thirds of the Antarctic
Continent during the classified, hazardous duty/volunteer-
only operation involving 4700 sailors, 23 aircraft and 13
ships including the first submarine the U.S.S. Sennet, and
the aircraft carrier the U.S.S. Philippine Sea, brought to
the edge of the ice pack to launch (6) Navy ski-equipped,
rocket-assisted R4Ds.
(D) Consolidate and extend United States sovereignty over
the largest practicable area of the Antarctic continent.
(E) Determine the feasibility of establishing, maintaining
and utilizing bases in the Antarctic and investigating
possible base sites.
(3) While on a hazardous duty/all volunteer mission vital
to the interests of National Security and while over the
eastern Antarctica coastline known as the Phantom Coast, the
PBM-5 Martin Mariner ``Flying Boat'' ``George 1'' entered a
whiteout over Thurston Island. As the pilot attempted to
climb, the aircraft grazed the glacier's ridgeline and
exploded within 5 seconds instantly killing Ensign Maxwell
Lopez, Navigator and Wendell ``Bud'' Hendersin, Aviation
Machinists Mate 1st Class while Frederick Williams, Aviation
Radioman 1st Class died several hours later. Six other
crewmen survived including the Captain of the ``George 1's''
seaplane tender U.S.S. Pine Island.
[[Page H3569]]
(4) The bodies of the dead were protected from the
desecration of Antarctic scavenging birds (Skuas) by the
surviving crew wrapping the bodies and temporarily burying
the men under the starboard wing engine nacelle.
(5) Rescue requirements of the ``George-1'' survivors
forced the abandonment of their crewmates' bodies.
(6) Conditions prior to the departure of Task Force 68
precluded a return to the area to the recover the bodies.
(7) For nearly 60 years Navy promised the families that
they would recover the men: ``If the safety, logistical, and
operational prerequisites allow a mission in the future,
every effort will be made to bring our sailors home.''.
(8) The Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command twice offered to
recover the bodies of this crew for Navy.
(9) A 2004 NASA ground penetrating radar overflight
commissioned by Navy relocated the crash site three miles
from its crash position.
(10) The Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command offered to
underwrite the cost of an aerial ground penetrating radar
(GPR) survey of the crash site area by NASA.
(11) The Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command studied the
recovery with the recognized recovery authorities and
national scientists and determined that the recovery is only
``medium risk''.
(12) National Science Foundation and scientists from the
University of Texas, Austin, regularly visit the island.
(13) The crash site is classified as a ``perishable site'',
meaning a glacier that will calve into the Bellingshausen
Sea.
(14) The National Science Foundation maintains a presence
in area - of the Pine Island Glacier.
(15) The National Science Foundation Director of Polar
Operations will assist and provide assets for the recovery
upon the request of Congress.
(16) The United States Coast Guard is presently pursuing
the recovery of 3 WWII air crewmen from similar circumstances
in Greenland.
(17) On Memorial Day, May 25, 2009, President Barak Obama
declared: ``. . .the support of our veterans is a sacred
trust. . .we need to serve them as they have served us. .
.that means bringing home all our POWs and MIAs. . .''.
(18) The policies and laws of the United States of America
require that our armed service personnel be repatriated.
(19) The fullest possible accounting of United States
fallen military personnel means repatriating living American
POWs and MIAs, accounting for, identifying, and recovering
the remains of military personnel who were killed in the line
of duty, or providing convincing evidence as to why such a
repatriation, accounting, identification, or recovery is not
possible.
(20) It is the responsibility of the Federal Government to
return to the United States for proper burial and respect all
members of the Armed Forces killed in the line of duty who
lie in lost graves.
(b) Sense of Congress.--In light of the findings under
subsection (a), Congress--
(1) reaffirms its support for the recovery and return to
the United States, the remains and bodies of all members of
the Armed Forces killed in the line of duty, and for the
efforts by the Joint POW-MIA Accounting Command to recover
the remains of members of the Armed Forces from all wars,
conflicts and missions;
(2) recognizes the courage and sacrifice of all members of
the Armed Forces who participated in Operation Highjump and
all missions vital to the national security of the United
States of America;
(3) acknowledges the dedicated research and efforts by the
US Geological Survey, the National Science Foundation, the
Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command, the Fallen American
Veterans Foundation and all persons and organizations to
identify, locate, and advocate for, from their temporary
Antarctic grave, the recovery of the well-preserved frozen
bodies of Ensign Maxwell Lopez, Naval Aviator, Frederick
Williams, Aviation Machinist's Mate 1ST Class, Wendell
Hendersin, Aviation Radioman 1ST Class of the ``George 1''
explosion and crash; and
(4) encourages the Department of Defense to review the
facts, research and to pursue new efforts to undertake all
feasible efforts to recover, identify, and return the well-
preserved frozen bodies of the ``George 1'' crew from
Antarctica's Thurston Island.

The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 260, the gentleman
from Texas (Mr. Thornberry) and the gentleman from Washington (Mr.
Larsen) each will control 10 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Texas.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I urge the committee to adopt the
amendments en bloc, all of which have been examined by both the
majority and the minority.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. LARSEN of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I rise in support of the en
bloc amendment and encourage our colleagues to support it.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from
Florida (Mr. Posey).
Mr. POSEY. I thank the gentleman for yielding.
I am pleased that my bipartisan bill, the Deployed Troops Support
Act, is part of an en bloc amendment later this evening.
My amendment simply allows the Department of Defense to transport, on
a space-available basis, goods supplied by nonprofit organizations to
members of the armed services who are deployed overseas.
We ensure that the Secretary has the authority to determine that
there is a legitimate need for the goods being shipped, and that the
supplies are suitable for distribution, and that adequate arrangements
have been made for the distribution when the shipment arrives.
This legislative idea was brought to me by veterans in my
congressional district, specifically, AVET Project. If enacted into
law, it would give our troops the same consideration on a space
available as currently granted to foreigners under the Denton Program.
Mr. LARSEN of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the
gentlewoman from Connecticut (Ms. Esty).
Ms. ESTY. Mr. Chairman, I rise in support of this en bloc amendment,
which includes my amendment to add the Proper Replacement of Medals and
Performance Tracking, the PROMPT Act, to the underlying legislation.
I want to first thank Chairman McKeon and Ranking Member Smith for
their leadership and cooperation. And I'd also like to thank my
colleague, Dr. Joe Heck, for making the PROMPT Act a bipartisan effort
aimed at improving our service to veterans, servicemembers, and their
families.
I drafted this legislation after working with several veterans in my
district to replace medals and decorations that they've been waiting
months, and sometimes years, to receive.
One constituent, a Korean War veteran, has grandchildren that want to
see his medals and document his service as part of the family history.
He should not have to wait indefinitely for the medals he earned in
service to this country.
Nor should Paul Sypek, the Vietnam veteran in my district seeking to
replace his Army Commendation Medal. He first had to correct a clerical
error that omitted the decoration from his separation papers. More than
2 years later, he's still waiting for the replacement medal he
requested.
The PROMPT Act creates performance standards to ensure that requests
are fulfilled in a timely and organized fashion. We can and we must do
better for those who served our country with distinction. Adding the
PROMPT Act to H.R. 1960 ensures that we will. I urge support for the en
bloc amendment.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from
New York (Mr. Collins).
Mr. COLLINS of New York. I rise tonight to speak on behalf of an
amendment to be offered later. This amendment provides a sense of
Congress to the Secretary of Defense and urges my colleagues to support
this amendment, which will help maintain a strong National Guard and
Reserve.
We've seen, time and again, whether it's Superstorm Sandy or other
national catastrophes, the National Guard and the Reserve that have
come to the Nation and helped support us in a time of need. September
11 it was the members of the Air National Guard that flew jets over New
York City and this Nation's Capitol.
Many members of both the Guard and Reserve have fought and died for
this country in Iraq and Afghanistan. Time and again we have called on
them to support us, and this proposed amendment just urges the
Secretary of Defense to make sure that we send the message that he
should make every effort to ensure our military Reserve and National
Guard forces are fully manned and fully funded to help the United
States fulfill its longstanding commitment to the unyielding defense of
this country.
Mr. Chairman, the brave men and women who fill the ranks of both the
National Guard and Reserve deserve nothing else.
Mr. LARSEN of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield 3 minutes to the
gentleman from Texas (Mr. Gallego).
Mr. GALLEGO. Mr. Chairman, I too would like to thank the chairman and
the ranking member as I rise today in support of the en bloc
amendments. These amendments include two amendments which I have
authored to support the men and women who serve in our armed services,
and to support their families.
The first amendment ensures that the Department of Defense can
continue to fast-track and to expedite the hiring of critical health
care workers who treat our wounded warriors and provide care to
military families. Members of our armed services make incredible
sacrifices, and taking care of them, and taking care of their loved
ones, is one of the most sacred promises that our country can make.
This amendment helps folks who receive medical attention at places
like Brooke Army Medical Center and Fort Bliss William Beaumont Army
Medical Center.
The amendment would designate critical health care workers as part of
a special ``shortage category'' and thus make them eligible for
salaries that are competitive with the higher salaries that are offered
by the VA for similar positions.
We need to ensure the highest standard of treatment for the men and
the women who have given so much to our country.
There is no increase in costs associated. The Department of Defense
has already budgeted for this proposal.
The second amendment helps ensure that the Secretary of Defense can
take measures, as he sees fit, to determine the effectiveness of our
efforts to reduce suicide by members of our armed services.
The military suicide rate hit a record high last year with 349 people
who took their own lives across the four branches. That averages out to
1 every 25 hours.
[[Page H3571]]
{time} 1940
We must take any and all measures to help reduce the suicide rates
among those who serve our country. As a member of the Armed Services
Committee, again, I thank the chairman and the ranking member and all
of the members of the committee for their hard work on a very vital
piece of legislation, including these provisions to treat wounded
warriors and to reduce suicide rates.
Mr. Chairman, I encourage passage of the en bloc amendments.
Mr. TURNER. We have no further speakers, and I yield back the balance
of my time.
Mr. LARSEN of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of
my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendments en bloc offered
by the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Thornberry).
The en bloc amendments were agreed to.
Amendment No. 33 Offered by Mr. Larsen of Washington
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 33
printed in part B of House Report 113-108.
Mr. LARSEN of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I rise to offer amendment 33
as the designee of Mr. Cooper.
The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:
Page 425, after line 23, insert the following:
SEC. 1060. NEW START TREATY FUNDING.
(a) Reduction.--Notwithstanding the amounts set forth in
the funding tables in division D--
(1) the amount authorized to be appropriated in section

(C) Other Service-wide Activities by $15,400,000.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 260, the gentleman
from Washington (Mr. Larsen) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Washington.
Mr. LARSEN of Washington. Mr. Chairman, this amendment would restore
funding for commonsense nuclear weapons reductions that have already
been approved with the advice and consent of the Senate and that the
Navy and the Air Force have planned for fiscal year 2014.
The $70 million cut in the bill keeps nuclear weapons at Cold War
levels, and denying fiscal year '14 funding risks the United States
missing the deadline for treaty compliance as there will be
insufficient lead time for procurement and installation to support
conversion efforts to implement the reductions required by 2018, the
date of entry into force.
This amendment is funded by an offset of $50 million from DARPA's
space technology program due to the recently terminated System F6,
which was aimed to distribute functions of big satellites into several
small ones orbiting in tight formation--so this funding is available--
and $20 million from the $2.1 billion in the Office of the Secretary of
Defense O&M funds which pays OSD staff. This is a 1 percent cut with
minimal impact, as the Secretary of Defense has indicated that he
intends to make cuts to overhead.
So I urge my colleagues to support this amendment.
With that, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I claim time in opposition.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Texas is recognized for 5
minutes.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the distinguished
gentleman from Alabama, the chairman of the Strategic Forces
Subcommittee.
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. I thank the chairman.
Today I rise in opposition to the amendment offered by my good friend
and colleague from Tennessee (Mr. Cooper) as well as my good friend
from Washington State.
The committee zeroed out these funds because the administration
appears to be expecting a blank check from the Congress to implement
this treaty. The House, through the appropriation power, must have a
chance to evaluate whether the implementation of a treaty and the
manner in which an administration intends to implement a treaty is in
the U.S. national security interest. That's the reason the 1042 report
was required in the FY12 NDAA in the first place.
I remind the House, this report is mandated by law. Are we really
comfortable in this House with letting the President ignore the law of
the land as he sees fit?
Additionally, while the gentleman from Tennessee withdrew the
amendment at the full committee level because the offset he selected
was of concern, the offset he has now is also a problem. It takes a
program in DARPA that has been eliminated recently, and the funds for
that program are planned to support transition activities to two other
DARPA programs. Diverting $50 million from this effort now would
significantly slow down the schedule for these two programs.
Additionally, we expect President Obama to announce, likely next week
in Berlin, that he will seek to reduce our deployed nuclear forces by
one-third--beyond the New START treaty reductions we have yet to put in
place. We need to put the brakes on this rush to zero. This President
is proposing dangerous and irreversible changes to our nuclear forces.
I urge my colleagues to reject the amendment.
Mr. LARSEN of Washington. Mr. Chairman, how much time remains?
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Washington has 3\3/4\ minutes
remaining.
Mr. LARSEN of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I ask unanimous consent to
yield the balance of the time to the gentleman from Tennessee (Mr.
Cooper).
The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, the gentleman from Tennessee
will control the remainder of the time.
There was no objection.
Mr. COOPER. Mr. Chairman, it's a shame that President Ronald Reagan
would have a hard time getting nominated in today's Republican Party.
If you look back at what President Reagan said, he called for the
abolition of ``all nuclear weapons.'' Furthermore, he went on to say
that these weapons are ``totally irrational, totally inhumane, good for
nothing but killing, possibly destructive of life on Earth and
civilization.''
Now, no one on this side of the aisle is calling for abolition, but
we are calling for the United States of America to live up to its
legitimate treaty commitments as passed by an overwhelming majority of
the United States Senate. Now, I know there is very little love lost
for the other body, but it was an overwhelming vote, and it was just 2
or 3 years ago.
The treaty is supposed to be implemented in 2018. Why the other side
of the aisle is not more interested in reducing Russian nuclear
weapons, I do not know, but this just simply allows us to live up to
our legitimate and legal treaty commitments.
The other side is welcome to have suspicions of all sorts of things,
but we should obey the treaties that we have ratified. So this calls
for $70 million to do that.
We can always question offsets. I've worked very hard with the other
side to try to find appropriate offsets. But the key is let's restore
the $70 million that our own military wants so that we
[[Page H3572]]
can implement this treaty which could reduce nuclear risk in this world
as President Reagan called for.
This is an opportunity. This is a necessity if we're going to live up
to our legal obligations. I have the utmost respect for my friend from
Alabama, the chairman of the subcommittee. This is a fixable problem.
This is a needless political fight. In the full committee, as the
gentleman knows, we try to work very closely with folks on the other
side of the aisle. This is just $70 million to live up to our existing
treaty commitments.
I would urge my colleagues of good faith on both sides of the aisle,
we can do this. We must do this. Let's follow what President Reagan
would have wanted and let's support this treaty commitment.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the distinguished
chairman of the Tactical Air and Land Forces Subcommittee, the
gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Turner).
Mr. TURNER. Mr. Chairman, let's be clear. It has been misstated that
if this amendment doesn't pass that we would leave nuclear weapons at
the Cold War level. Our nuclear weapons have already been reduced by 90
percent since the peak of the Cold War and 75 percent since the end of
the Cold War.
Ronald Reagan never said that the United States should disarm itself
at its disadvantage. He saw a world where no one would have nuclear
weapons, not that we would place ourselves at a disadvantage. I
certainly believe that, as Ronald Reagan would look around the world
today, he would have never foreseen a nuclear-capable North Korea, and
he certainly wouldn't have seen the world watch as Iran marches to
become a nuclear state.
This amendment actually would take money from programs that are
important, but it would put money toward something that is just not
ready. We know we're not ready for New START treaty implementation, and
we also know that we are certainly not going to be in breach.
This is not an issue of our walking away from a treaty obligation.
This is not at all an issue of saying that Russia should not reduce
their nuclear weapons. In fact, we believe that Russia ought to further
reduce especially their tactical nuclear weapons, the overwhelming
thousands that they have pointed at Europe that are in greater numbers
than Europe or the United States would ever imagine.
We believe that we should stand up to the treaty obligations. But to
fulfill those, we have to look to what the President promised, which,
as the President said, in order for us to go to the New START treaty
levels, that America has work to do. That work needs to be done.
While the President walks away from his commitments to nuclear
modernization of our infrastructure and our weapons and fails to turn
in the 1042 report that would give us the understanding of what our
overall strategy is, the President wants to continue down this path of
dismantling nuclear weapons when we're just not ready. New START can
wait until we satisfy the convictions that even the President had put
forward.
{time} 1950
But even further, we have to look at what the President currently is
doing. The President has signaled that he wants to reduce nuclear
weapons further even before we've gone to New START. The problem is
that obviously North Korea has just recently marched a weapon to the
launch pad that could threaten the United States. This is not the time
to do this.
Mr. COOPER. Mr. Chairman, may I inquire as to how much time I have
remaining.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Tennessee has 1\3/4\ minutes
remaining.
Mr. COOPER. Mr. Chairman, let me speak very briefly, and then I will
yield the balance of my time to my friend from California.
My colleagues on the other side of the aisle, no one can know for
sure what President Reagan would have done today. But read what Henry
Kissinger is writing today, George Shultz--keepers, I think, of the
Reagan legacy. They are working with Sam Nunn and others to do what we
can to have enforceable, reliable treaties with the former Soviet
Union, with Russia. And I would urge my colleagues to do what our own
military is requesting, to give them the means to implement this
treaty.
I yield the balance of my time to the gentleman from California (Mr.
Garamendi).
Mr. GARAMENDI. Trust and verify. Wow. In the New START treaty, it's
trust and verify. But to get to the trust and verify, we're going to
have to begin the process--$70 million requested by the military to
begin the process.
I know the gentleman on the other side of this question has spent
days and days working through this budget. The military plans years
ahead; And in order to carry out the New START treaty and see the
reductions that we need to make on our side, as obligated by that
treaty, we need to begin that planning process now.
It's not a matter of throwing the weapons out or disposing of these
weapons today. It's how we go about getting to that point, and the $70
million is essential for that.
We'll delay by one whole year the process of carrying out our treaty
obligations. Russia is in the process of carrying out their treaty
obligations, and we should too.
It's very simple, guys. It's about carrying out an obligation that we
have. It's about giving the military the money that they need today to
begin the planning, to do the early parts of that process.
Trust and verify. The Russians want us--they trust us, maybe, but
they want verification. We want verification from them also. This is
all about carrying out a treaty obligation, getting it going.
Mr. COOPER. I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. FORTENBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself the balance of my time.
Mr. Chairman, none of us of course could know what President Reagan
would have done. I would suggest, however, that if we had a Reagan
approach to defense, we would not still be arguing about missile
defense, and we certainly wouldn't be debating $60 billion cuts to
defense.
The other point I would make is ratification of the New START treaty
was conditioned in the Senate upon certain investments to our nuclear
deterrent infrastructure. Unfortunately, those investments have not
been forthcoming.
Let me talk about the offset for just a second. The most cutting-edge
done for our military is done at DARPA. DARPA funding is flat, and
there are a number of us who are concerned about that. But what they do
at DARPA is they evaluate the projects they have; and if one seems less
promising than others, they move that money around. So what this
amendment does is punish them for doing that, because as they are
moving money from one project to another that seems more promising, it
takes that money away. When you're looking at funding research, it
seems to me we want to encourage that sort of flexibility towards the
most promising avenues of the research, and yet this amendment takes
exactly the opposite approach.
For a variety of reasons, Mr. Chairman, I think this amendment is not
a good idea, and I would recommend Members vote against it.
I yield back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentleman from Washington (Mr. Larsen).
The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the noes
appeared to have it.
Mr. COOPER. 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 Washington
will be postponed.
Amendment No. 36 Offered by Mr. Gibson
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 36
printed in part B of House Report 113-108.
Mr. GIBSON. 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:
Strike section 1251.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 260, the gentleman
from New York (Mr. Gibson) and a
[[Page H3573]]
Member opposed each will control 5 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from New York.
Mr. GIBSON. Mr. Chairman, this amendment is very simple. It strikes
the language in section 1251, which pertains to Syria--a very serious
subject that's been talked about here this evening. In my view, we
should be debating this in regular order, and there should be a stand-
alone resolution that deals with Syria.
You know, this language that we have in the underlying bill, the
intent of it I understand, it was supposed to deal with the weapons of
mass destruction in Syria, the control of them. That would be one
thing. But I just want every Member to understand what's in the
underlying language.
Subsection b, subsection 1:
President Obama should fully consider all courses of action
to remove President Assad from power.
That sounds a lot like unilateral action for regime change to me.
Subsection 5:
The United States should continue to support Syrian
opposition forces with nonlethal aid.
I don't remember authorizing any aid to begin with, much less
continuing.
Subsection 8:
Should the President decide to employ any military assets
in Syria, the President should provide a supplemental budget
request to Congress.
Well, yes on the supplemental budget request if it ever comes to it.
But should the President decide to employ any military assets, that's
for us to decide, not for the President.
So, Mr. Chairman, I have concerns. I certainly understand the initial
intent. It is my strongest recommendation that we strike this language,
that we work together on language that is more suitable for an NDAA,
and then, if desired, to have broader discussion with a separate
resolution if somebody wants to move forward with regard to action in
Syria.
I would say that I oppose military action in Syria, but I certainly
think there should be voices. We should have Representatives speaking
for their people.
And I hope that we learn. You know, in 2011, I came here very
concerned about Libya. I spoke out against military action. We ended up
taking military action. I was concerned that we would empower forces
hostile to us. And I regret to say on September 11 of last year, we
ended up with a situation in Benghazi that we all are very saddened by.
I want to see us learn from this, and I certainly want to see us strike
this language.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. McKEON. I rise to claim the time in opposition to the amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from California is recognized for 5
minutes.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, at this time I yield 2\1/2\ minutes to my
friend and colleague, the gentlelady from Indiana (Mrs. Walorski).
Mrs. WALORSKI. Mr. Chairman, while I greatly respect the author of
this amendment, I must rise in opposition.
This amendment does, in fact, strike section 1251 of the underlying
bill that expresses a sense of Congress in regard to Syria. Section
1251 says the President should have a plan in place to secure U.S.
interests in Syria; that the U.S. should support the stability of our
allies like Israel--our strongest ally in the region; and that the U.S.
should continue to conduct rigorous planning to secure any chemical and
biological stockpiles. It does not say that the U.S. should intervene
in Syria. And it requires the President to provide a supplemental
budget should military action be necessary.
Although much delayed, the confirmation from the Obama administration
just a few hours ago that the Assad regime has used chemical weapons
against rebel forces demonstrates why section 1251 is needed. It's time
to get serious about addressing Syria and develop a plan to protect
American interests in the region.
According to the President, Assad has crossed a red line. By turning
a blind eye to this civil war that has already claimed more than 90,000
lives, we lose credibility within the region and embolden bad actors
like Iran and Hezbollah.
I would ask my colleagues to vote against this amendment.
Mr. GIBSON. Mr. Chairman, I'll yield myself about 20 seconds, and
then I'm going to yield to my good friend from California.
I just want to say in response that, with regard to planning,
absolutely. I know our military forces are always in the process of
planning.
Standing with Israel, absolutely. But I just would remind my
colleagues to read the language in here. This is inappropriate for an
NDAA. It is not in our interest to be affirming this language.
At this point, I'd like to yield to my good friend from California
(Mr. Garamendi).
{time} 2000
Mr. GARAMENDI. May I inquire as to the time available?
The ACTING CHAIR. The gentleman has 2\1/4\ minutes remaining.
Mr. GARAMENDI. Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.
A lot of analogies come to mind: slippery slopes, camel's nose under
the tent.
Syria is an extremely serious matter, and the role of the United
States in the serious issue of Syria needs to be fully vetted by the
Congress and the Senate. We are debating; 435 of us are given 10
minutes, 10 minutes of time to this issue, plus perhaps another 5
minutes in the committee hearing, to this matter of what is the role of
the United States in the serious Syrian issue.
Slippery slope, red lines, military aid, nonlethal aid. What does it
all mean? Where is the House Foreign Affairs Committee on this matter?
And by the way, how did this slip by the requirement of dual
referencing? It did. We're here.
Ten minutes, 10 minutes on a matter that could very easily suck the
United States into another war in the Middle East. We need time. We
need to debate this. We need to understand all the ramifications of
this. The language in this particular section is really serious
language. It's far more than has been stated on the floor. Put it
aside, step back, take our time, understand what all the ramifications
are.
Mr. GIBSON. I would like to yield my remaining time to my colleague
from Minnesota.
Mr. NOLAN. Madam Chairman, I rise in support of the Gibson-Garamendi
amendment. I'm using this time to express my regret that a resolution
that I presented to the Rules Committee requiring the Congress to
decide on whether or not we should send arms and troops to the rebels
was denied an opportunity to be heard today.
The fact is, this is a centuries old conflict between the Sunnis and
the Shiites. We have no friends in this fight. Believe me, I've lived
in the Middle East, I've done business in the Middle East, I've studied
the language, I've studied the culture. We have no friends in this
conflict. The rebels--make no mistake about it--are the al Mazraa
affiliated with al Qaeda.
The Acting CHAIR (Ms. Ros-Lehtinen). The time of the gentleman has
expired.
Mr. McKEON. Madam Chair, at this time, I yield the balance of my time
to the gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Lamborn).
Mr. LAMBORN. Madam Chairman, I thank the chairman of the full
committee for yielding me time.
I have total respect for my colleague and friend from New York who
authored this amendment, but I believe on this one this amendment is
misguided and we should defeat it. This does not call for a declaration
of war or any kinds of the, I think exaggerated responses I've heard in
favor of this amendment. This says that the President should have a
course of action.
The President earlier stated that there are red lines concerning
weapons of mass destruction. I believe, if the news today is correct,
then belatedly maybe there is a step toward recognizing that and taking
some action for red lines just in the last few hours.
But we've been working on this amendment, we debated it in committee,
because up until now, and even going forward--I'm not sure how much--
there hasn't been very much planning. There hasn't been a stated plan
or a course of action by the administration. We need to have that in
place.
We can and should and will debate this further. But the
administration, I believe, has been lacking in leadership--too much
leading from behind, as
[[Page H3574]]
we've seen in other places. There needs to be leadership.
This is a volatile area of the world--there's no question about that.
That doesn't mean, though, that we can be disengaged. We can't just
throw our hands up and withdraw and put our heads in the sand.
We have allies in the region, especially Israel. Israel needs to be
supported and defended. We are the most powerful country in the world.
We need to take a role of at least planning for what's happening.
That's what this sense of Congress language does. Section 1251, the
amendment offered by my friend and colleague from New York, would
strike the language.
I would urge a ``no'' vote on this amendment. Let's have some
planning for once by this administration on this important issue.
Mr. McKEON. I yield back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentleman from New York (Mr. Gibson).
The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the noes
appeared to have it.
Mr. GIBSON. Madam 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 New York
will be postponed.
Amendment No. 37 Offered by Mr. Coffman
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 37
printed in part B of House Report 113-108.
Mr. COFFMAN. Madam 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:
After section 1256, insert the following new section (and
redesignate subsequent sections accordingly):
SEC. 1257. REMOVAL OF BRIGADE COMBAT TEAMS FROM EUROPE.
(a) Finding.--Congress finds that, because defense spending
among European NATO countries fell 12% since 2008, from $314
billion to $275 billion, so that currently only 4 out of the
28 NATO allies of the United States are spending the widely
agreed-to standard of 2% of their GDP on defense, the United
States must look to more wisely allocate scarce resources to
provide for the national defense.
(b) Removal Required.--The President shall end the
permanent basing of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment (2CR) in
Vilseck, Germany and return that Brigade Combat Team
currently stationed in Europe to the United States, without
permanent replacement, leaving one Brigade Combat Team and
one Combat Aviation Brigade.
(c) Use of Rotational Forces to Satisfy Security Needs.--It
is the policy of the United States that the deployment of
units of the United States Armed Forces on a rotational basis
at military installations in European member nations of the
North Atlantic Treaty Organization pursuant to the Army Force
Generation (ARFORGEN) process is a force-structure
arrangement sufficient to permit the United States--
(1) to satisfy the commitments undertaken by United States
pursuant to Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty, signed at
Washington, District of Columbia, on April 4, 1949, and
entered into force on August 24, 1949 (63 Stat. 2241; TIAS
1964);
(2) to address the current security environment in Europe;
and
(3) to contribute to peace and stability in Europe.
(d) Rule of Construction.--Nothing in this section shall be
construed so as to require the removal of Landstuhl Regional
Medical Center or to prohibit the utilization of the 82nd
Airborne's Division Readiness Brigade, Marine Corps Fleet
Anti-Terrorism Security Teams, Marine Corps Special-Purpose
Marine Air-Ground Task Forces, Marine Corps expeditionary
units, Special Operations Command forces, or other quick-
response forces to respond to threats in Europe and in the
vicinity of the U.S. European Command (EUCOM) area.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 260, the gentleman
from Colorado (Mr. Coffman) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Colorado.
Mr. COFFMAN. Madam Chairman, I am proud to be joined by
Representatives Polis, Griffith, and Blumenauer in offering an
amendment to move away from our Cold War posture to meet the challenges
of the future. This bipartisan amendment will end the permanent basing
of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment in Germany and return that brigade combat
team to the United States, without permanent replacement. There is no
longer a strategic reason to maintain our current troop numbers in
Europe.
This action will still leave one brigade combat team and one combat
aviation brigade in Europe. Nothing in this amendment demands the
removal of our European medical facilities or rapid response forces.
Should a crisis occur, it is not the BCTs that will be called to
respond. In fact, just last month, the U.S. moved marines from a
crisis-response force to Italy in anticipation that it could be needed
to respond to growing unrest in Libya. In an emergency, expeditionary
forces, such as the Marine Corp Special MAG Task Force and FAST teams,
or even the Army's 82nd Airborne, would be called to action, not the
BCTs in Germany.
Only 4 out of 28 NATO allies spend even the required 2 percent of
their GDP on defense. The U.S. spends 4.7 percent. Our allies keep
defense spending low because they take for granted that we will
guarantee their security. This is an unfair burden to U.S. taxpayers.
We should reprioritize our commitments while meeting our security
obligations to our NATO allies by utilizing rotational forces.
I ask my colleagues to join in supporting this amendment to better
deal with the strategic challenges of the future.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. DAVID SCOTT of Georgia. Madam Chairman, I rise to claim time in
opposition.
The ACTING CHAIR. The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes.
Mr. DAVID SCOTT of Georgia. Madam Chairman, I yield myself 2 minutes.
First of all, this is, a very dangerous, dangerous amendment. I am a
member of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly. I am also the vice chairman
of the Science and Technology Committee of NATO. I have been a member
of NATO for 11 years. That means I get to travel across the world two
or three times each year into this region. I can tell you firsthand
that this is a dangerous amendment, it is very dangerous at this time.
Now, you have mentioned about some of our NATO colleagues. And yes,
we are having a challenge. Each nation is going through economic
challenges. But let me tell you, they are increasing their input and
their financial resources each year.
{time} 2010
One thing is for certain: the wrong message that we should send to
them now and to encourage them to contribute more is for us to cut and
run and contribute less, and that's exactly what this amendment that
you are offering will do.
The other point as to why it is dangerous is that we would sit here
in Congress and force the hand of President Obama--or, for that matter,
of any President or future President--to publicly state that he is
going to remove a contingent of a brigade like the 2nd Cavalry Regiment
in Vilseck, Germany, and then return that brigade to the United States
and not put anything in its place. Europe and the Mediterranean and the
Middle East--there is no more volatile, unpredictable place on this
planet. At the same time, there is no place on this planet that we have
the strength of alliances as we have here.
With that, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. COFFMAN. I think we both have experience in NATO. You serve on
this parliamentary committee, and I served in the United States Army in
the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, in the very type of unit that
we are talking about today.
That unit was designed to defend the border between what was West
Germany and Czechoslovakia against Warsaw Pact forces that were on the
other side. That border no longer exists. The Warsaw Pact no longer
exists. Yet we still maintain a regiment there, which is not an
expeditionary unit, to do the very things that you're talking about. We
also have the capability to move our forces when needed over there.
When I was in Europe during the height of the Cold War, protecting
the very border in the same units that we are talking about today, we
did the Reforger exercise on an annual basis in which U.S. forces would
come over to Europe, in about the middle of western Germany, to
reinforce our positions
[[Page H3575]]
and to push those Warsaw Pact forces back.
Mr. DAVID SCOTT of Georgia. Will the gentleman yield 10 seconds?
Mr. COFFMAN. I yield to the gentleman.
Mr. DAVID SCOTT of Georgia. Even today, yes, you are absolutely
right; but what did they do in Europe when we asked them to stand with
us in Afghanistan? They stood with us. What did they do when we asked
in Iraq? All I am simply saying is that we have an obligation today and
in the future.
Mr. COFFMAN. I reclaim my time.
There is nothing in the NATO charter that says we have to maintain
permanent bases in Europe. I certainly support rotational forces. I
support our involvement and our obligations to the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization, but it doesn't say we need to have a unit that is
not an expeditionary force in the middle of Europe protecting a border
that no longer exists.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. DAVID SCOTT of Georgia. I yield 2 minutes to my dear friend, the
gentleman from Ohio, Mr. Mike Turner.
Mr. TURNER. This amendment is unlike anything that you're going to
see in the National Defense Authorization Act. That's because this is
not a function of Congress.
This amendment says the President shall end the permanent basing of
the 2nd Cavalry Regiment in Germany and return them to the United
States.
We don't move troops. There is a reason we don't move troops. There
is nowhere in this bill you're going to find any provision that we move
troops. That's because, in 10 minutes, we shouldn't have a debate about
where troops would be.
The gentleman is absolutely, dangerously incorrect. These troops are
not like the troops with whom he served in the early seventies. These
troops are active in defending the United States and our allies. They
are absolutely necessary for forward deployment. We need the 3 to 5
days it would take for these troops to make it to the important areas
of Afghanistan, Israel, the Middle East, and it would take 20 days from
the United States.
Mr. COFFMAN. Will the gentleman yield?
Mr. TURNER. No, I will not yield to the gentleman.
Here is the most important thing:
The gentleman says that these troops need to be reduced. We've
reduced troops. Mind you, the gentleman served in the early seventies.
Here is 1989. We had 213,000 troops. We've already drastically reduced
them. They're already down to one-sixth of what they were. We are
headed towards 30,000 troops in 2013.
You have to think about what it is that these troops do--they do
regional security; they do international cooperation; they do partner
nation training; they're part of our ISAF support in Afghanistan;
they're part of NATO cooperation. These troops are active. If you go
and meet with any of our troops who are currently in Europe, they are
actively working--our men and women in uniform--on our operations now.
No one since the seventies has been staring down the bad Soviet
Union. They are there protecting the United States and the United
States' interests. They are our active men and women in uniform, and we
have them forward-based because they help the United States in its
functions of being able to deliver forces and our men and women to the
important areas of where there are conflicts.
General Breedlove of the European Command says that this is as far as
we can go. He vehemently opposes this. Even those people who might be
for reducing troops should not be for this. Congress should not be
specifically telling the Commander in Chief where troops should be and
how to move them. This is dangerously wrong. If the gentleman wants to
move troops, he should apply for a job at the DOD if he is qualified.
The Acting CHAIR. The time of the gentleman has expired.
The gentleman from Colorado has 1 minute remaining.
Mr. COFFMAN. In closing, I did apply and work for the DOD. In fact, I
served in both the Army and the Marine Corps, and in the 1980s, I
served in NATO as well as in the 1970s.
The mission has changed. Times have changed. We need to change. In
doing so, we've got a unit there that really has no tactical purpose at
this time. It is not an expeditionary force that can be readily moved.
It would have to be moved to a railhead and then to a port facility and
then be brought by ship in the most cost-effective manner.
We are at a time when we have excess capacity in the United States in
terms of the United States Army. The last report was in 2004 of 20
percent excess capacity for the United States, and the administration
wants to do another Base Realignment and Closure Commission. We ought
to bring that unit home to the United States. It can deploy as needed,
where needed, and not be in a country that's spending less than 2
percent of its GDP on defense when we're at 4.7 percent.
I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. DAVID SCOTT of Georgia. Madam Chair, how much time do I have
remaining?
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Georgia has 1 minute remaining.
Mr. DAVID SCOTT of Georgia. I would like to say this very quickly.
How things have changed. Messages that go out from this floor go out
around the world. As we speak, just at our most recent NATO meeting, we
were able to get 27 nations out of the 28 nations of NATO to pass a
resolution supporting the United States' and Israel's position against
Iran's acquiring a nuclear bomb. That's how relevant we are today.
With that, Madam Chairman, I yield the balance of my time to the
gentleman from Oklahoma (Mr. Bridenstine).
Mr. BRIDENSTINE. I would just like to make a couple of points.
Number one, these troops are not for NATO. These troops are for the
European Command. These troops are for the United States of America.
I'm a Navy pilot myself. I've been a part of units that deploy, that
rotate. What I can say is that, when units rotate, the training that we
get with our allies is less robust and is just not as good as if you
have a permanent presence where you can integrate with our NATO allies.
It's true that we are integrated with our NATO allies, but it is also
true that these troops are for European Command.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Coffman).
The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the noes
appeared to have it.
Mr. COFFMAN. Madam Chair, 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 Colorado
will be postponed.

AMENDMENT NO. 89 OFFERED BY MR. McKEON OF CALIFORNIA
Page 308, after line 21, insert the following:
SEC. 726. INTEGRATED ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD OF THE
DEPARTMENTS OF DEFENSE AND VETERANS AFFAIRS.
(a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) despite repeated attempts at cooperation over the past
20 years, the Department of Defense and the Department of
Veterans Affairs have failed to implement a solution that
allows for seamless electronic sharing of medical health care
data;
(2) the recent decision by the Secretary of Defense and the
Secretary of Veterans Affairs to abandon their earlier
agreement and pursue separate paths to integration
jeopardizes the stated goal of providing ``a patient-centered
health care system that delivers excellent quality, access,
satisfaction, and value, consistently across the
Departments'';
(3) despite the repeated concerns and objections of the
congressional committees of jurisdiction, the Department of
Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs seem to be on
a continued path to fail in achieving the goal of creating a
seamless health record that integrates data across the
Departments; and
(4) the President should make the necessary leadership
changes to assure timely completion of this requirement.
(b) Implementation.--The Secretary of Defense and the
Secretary of Veterans Affairs shall--
(1) implement an integrated electronic health record to be
used by each of the Secretaries; and
(2) deploy such record by not later than October 1, 2016.
(c) Design Principles.--The integrated electronic health
record established under subsection (b) shall adhere to the
following principles:
(1) To the extent practicable, efforts to establish such
record shall be based on objectives, activities, and
milestones established by the Joint Executive Committee Joint
Strategic Plan Fiscal Years 2013-2015, including any
requirements, definition, documents, or analyses previously
developed to satisfy said Joint Strategic Plan.
(2) Principles with respect to open architecture standards,
including--
(A) modular designs based on standards with loose coupling
and high cohesion that allow for independent acquisition of
system components;
(B) if existing national standards do not exist as of the
date on which the record is being established, the
Secretaries shall agree upon and adopt a standard for
purposes of
[[Page H3577]]
the record until such time as national standards are
established;
(C) enterprise investment strategies that maximize reuse of
proven system designs;
(D) implementation of aggressive life-cycle sustainment
planning that uses proven technology insertion strategies and
product upgrade techniques;
(E) enforcement of system design transparency, continuous
design disclosure and improvement, and peer reviews that
include government, academia, and industry; and
(F) strategies for data-use rights to ensure a level
competitive playing field and access to alternative solutions
and sources across the life-cycle of the program.
(3) By the point of full deployment decision, such record
must be at a generation 3 level or better for a health
information technology system.
(d) Program Plan.--Not later than January 31, 2014, the
Secretaries shall jointly develop and submit to the
appropriate congressional committees a program plan for the
oversight and execution of the integrated electronic health
record program established under this section. This plan
shall include--
(1) program objectives;
(2) organization;
(3) responsibilities of the Departments;
(4) technical system requirements;
(5) milestones, including a schedule for industry
competitions for capabilities needed to satisfy the technical
system requirements;
(6) technical system standards being adopted by the
program;
(7) outcome-based metrics proposed to measure the
performance and effectiveness of the program; and
(8) level of funding for fiscal years 2014 through 2017.
(e) Assessment.--
(1) In general.--The Secretaries shall jointly commission
an independent assessment of the program plan under
subsection (d).
(2) Submission.--Not later than 60 days after the date on
which the program plan under subsection (d) is submitted to
the appropriate congressional committees, the Secretaries

AMENDMENT NO. 115 OFFERED BY MR. COLLINS OF NEW YORK
Page 463, after line 6, insert the following:
SEC. 1090. SENSE OF CONGRESS TO MAINTAIN A STRONG NATIONAL
GUARD AND MILITARY RESERVE FORCE.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) The first volunteer militia unit in America was formed
in 1636 in Massachusetts Bay, followed by other units in the
colonies of Virginia and Connecticut. the American founding
fathers wrote article I, section 8, of the United States
Constitution to keep the militia model, authorizing a
standing military force that could organize, train, and equip
militia volunteers when needed.
(2) In World War I, nearly all National Guardsmen were
mobilized into Federal service, and while they represented
only 15 percent of the total United States Army, they
comprised 40 percent of the American divisions sent to France
and sustained 43 percent of the casualties in combat. In
World War II, the National Guard comprised 19 Army divisions
and 29 observation squadrons with aircraft assigned to the
United States Army Air Forces.
(3) On September 11, 2001, the first fighter jets over New
York City and Washington, DC, were Air National Guard F-15
and F-16 aircraft from Massachusetts and North Dakota, with
over 400 more Air National Guard fighter aircraft on alert by
that afternoon. Over 600,000 Air and Army National Guard
soldiers and airmen have deployed in the many campaigns since
9/11.
(4) Air and Army National Guard soldiers and airmen have
been involved in countless domestic response missions,
including missions in response to hurricanes, tornadoes,
floods, and forest fires including the more recent events of
Superstorm Sandy and the tornados in Oklahoma.
(5) The volunteer National Guard and Reserve have time and
again demonstrated their readiness to meet operational
requirements through cost-effective means.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the Secretary of Defense should make every effort to
ensure the Military Reserve and National Guard forces are
sustained by a fully manned and fully funded force and that
the United States fulfill its longstanding commitment to
unyielding readiness in terms of defense;
(2) the Secretary of Defense should act with the knowledge
that the National Guard and Reserve are critical components
to the Armed Forces, particularly as means of preserving
combat power during a time of budget austerity; and
(3) Congress repudiates proposals to diminish the National
Guard or Reserve and affirms the growth of these components
as circumstances warrant.

The Secretary of Defense is authorized to deploy assets,

by supplying sufficient intelligence capabilities:
(1) Transnational criminal organizations.
(2) Drug trafficking.

(6) The Iranian presence in the Western Hemisphere.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 260, the gentleman
from California (Mr. McKeon) and the gentleman from Washington (Mr.
Larsen) each will control 10 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from California.
Mr. McKEON. Madam Chair, I urge the committee to adopt the amendments
en bloc, all of which have been examined by the majority and the
minority.
At this time I yield 2 minutes to my friend and colleague, the
gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Kelly).
Mr. KELLY of Pennsylvania. I rise today with an amendment that will
be considered later tonight that creates a 1-year ban on the use of
funds by the Department of Defense to implement the U.N. Arms Trade
Treaty, unless the ATT fulfills all constitutional and legal
requirements needed to take domestic legal effect, including the
passage of implementing legislation.
Over the last year, I have been joined by over 140 bipartisan Members
of this body to express deep concerns with the United Nations Arms
Trade Treaty and to urge its rejection.
First, the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty undermines our Second
Amendment rights by omitting the fundamental, individual right to keep
and bear arms and imposing a national responsibility to prevent
firearms diversion, thus opening the door to new gun control measures.
Secondly, the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty undermines our
sovereignty by imposing vague, readily politicized requirements on the
United States and inviting United Nations-led investigations into what
U.S. policymakers knew or should have known regarding arms transfers
that allegedly violate the United Nations arms trade treaty.
Ultimately, the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty will stop the good
from doing good without stopping the bad from doing bad. As then-
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton once said, the U.S. maintains the
``gold standard'' of arms export controls.
My amendment upholds our current policies, as well as our enduring
values.
I would like to thank the chairman and the ranking member for
including this amendment in the en bloc amendments.
With that, I urge adoption of this amendment.
Mr. LARSEN of Washington. Madam Chair, I too, encourage my colleagues
to support this en bloc, and I now yield 3 minutes to Mr. Ellison from
Minnesota.
Mr. ELLISON. Madam Chairman, allow me to thank the ranking member and
the chair of the committee.
This graphic I have in front of me, Madam Chairman, was taken in
Tahrir Square a few years ago now when the people were peacefully
demonstrating to overcome the Mubarak regime which had oppressed them
for so many years. They're holding up tear gas, and it says ``Made in
America'' on it.
When our government transferred those riot and anti-riot materials to
that government, I believe we didn't have any reason to know that it
would be misused by a tyrannical regime to oppress and down press
peaceful demonstrators. I propose, though, that when our government has
reason to know that there is a tyrannical regime using repressive
techniques to put down their peaceful demonstrators, that our
government should withhold exports of that nature.
The fact is that the tyranny that people lived under under Hosni
Mubarak was not made in America. It was made by Hosni Mubarak. But we
should not be implicated in the kind of oppression if we know about it,
and therefore I think we should have the authority in our government to
withhold those kinds of transfers when they come to our attention.
So the young man holding up this tear gas canister that police fired
at the pro-democracy demonstrators is labeled ``Made in the USA.'' This
is a misrepresentation because it was Mubarak who oppressed his own
people, but we should not be implicated in this, particularly if we
have reason to know.
Madam Chairman, this is not the message we should be sending. Whether
it's being sent deliberately or not, it's not the message we should
send to the people who are seeking nothing more than what we want in
the United States, which is to democratically control their own
country. It's not in our interest, and we should have the authority to
stop it.
The United States should not supply tear gas to governments that use
it to repress democracy, and my amendment helps us to move to that
goal.
Mr. McKEON. Madam Chair, at this time, we have no further speakers.
Mr. LARSEN of Washington. Madam Chair, we yield back the balance of
our time.
Mr. McKEON. Madam Chair, I ask that all of our colleagues support
this group of en bloc amendments, and I yield back the balance of my
time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendments en bloc offered
by the gentleman from California (Mr. McKeon).
The en bloc amendments were agreed to.

Mr. McKEON. Madam Chairman, pursuant to H. Res. 260, I offer

At the end of subtitle D of title XII of division A, add
the following new section:
SEC. 12_. STATEMENT OF POLICY ON CONDEMNING THE GOVERNMENT OF
IRAN FOR ITS STATE-SPONSORED PERSECUTION OF ITS
BAHA'I MINORITY.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) In 1982, 1984, 1988, 1990, 1992, 1994, 1996, 2000,
2006, 2008, 2009, 2012, and 2013, Congress declared that it
deplored the religious persecution by the Government of Iran
of the Baha'i community and would hold the Government of Iran
responsible for upholding the rights of all Iranian
nationals, including members of the Baha'i faith.
(2) The United States Commission on International Religious
Freedom 2012 Report stated, ``The Baha'i community has long
been subject to particularly severe religious freedom
violations in Iran. Baha'is, who number at least 300,000, are
viewed as `heretics' by Iranian authorities and may face
repression on the grounds of apostasy.''.
(3) The United States Commission on International Religious
Freedom 2012 Report stated, ``Since 1979, Iranian government
authorities have killed more than 200 Baha'i leaders in Iran
and dismissed more than 10,000 from government and university
jobs.''.
(4) The United States Commission on International Religious
Freedom 2012 Report stated, ``Baha'is may not establish
places of worship, schools, or any independent religious
associations in Iran.''.
(5) The United States Commission on International Religious
Freedom 2012 Report stated, ``Baha'is are barred from the
military and denied government jobs and pensions as well as
the right to inherit property. Their marriages and divorces
also are not recognized, and they have difficulty obtaining
death certificates. Baha'i cemeteries, holy places, and
community properties are often seized or desecrated, and many
important religious sites have been destroyed.''.
(6) The United States Commission on International Religious
Freedom 2012 Report stated, ``The Baha'i community faces
severe economic pressure, including denials of jobs in both
the public and private sectors and of business licenses.
Iranian authorities often pressure employers of Baha'is to
dismiss them from employment in the private sector.''.
(7) The Department of State 2011 International Religious
Freedom Report stated, ``The government prohibits Baha'is
from teaching and practicing their faith and subjects them to
many forms of discrimination that followers of other
religions do not face.''.
(8) The Department of State 2011 International Religious
Freedom Report stated, ``According to law, Baha'i blood is
considered `mobah', meaning it can be spilled with
impunity.''.
(9) The Department of State 2011 International Religious
Freedom Report stated that ``members of religious minorities,
with the exception of Baha'is, can serve in lower ranks of
government employment'', and ``Baha'is are barred from all
leadership positions in the government and military''.
(10) The Department of State 2011 International Religious
Freedom Report stated, ``Baha'is suffered frequent government
harassment and persecution, and their property rights
generally were disregarded. The government raided Baha'i
homes and businesses and confiscated large amounts of private
and commercial property, as well as religious materials
belonging to Baha'is.''.
(11) The Department of State 2011 International Religious
Freedom Report stated, ``Baha'is also are required to
register with the police''.
(12) The Department of State 2011 International Religious
Freedom Report stated that ``[p]ublic and private
universities continued to deny admittance to and expelled
Baha'i students'' and ``[d]uring the year, at least 30
Baha'is were barred or expelled from universities on
political or religious grounds''.
(13) The Department of State 2011 International Religious
Freedom Report stated, ``Baha'is are regularly denied
compensation for injury or criminal victimization.''.
(14) On March 6, 2012, the United Nations Special
Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Islamic
Republic of Iran issued a report (A/HRC/19/66), which stated
that ``the Special Rapporteur continues to be alarmed by
communications that demonstrate the systemic and systematic
persecution of members of unrecognized religious communities,
particularly the Baha'i community, in violation of
international conventions'' and expressed concern regarding
``an intensive defamation campaign meant to incite
discrimination and hate against Baha'is''.
(15) On May 23, 2012, the United Nations Secretary-General
issued a report, which stated that ``the Special Rapporteur
on freedom of religion or belief . . . pointed out that the
Islamic Republic of Iran had a policy of systematic
persecution of persons belonging to the Baha'i faith,
excluding them from the application of freedom of religion or
belief by simply denying that their faith had the status of a
religion''.
(16) On August 22, 2012, the United Nations Secretary-
General issued a report, which stated, ``The international
community continues to express concerns about the very
serious discrimination against ethnic and religious
minorities in law and in practice, in particular the Baha'i
community. The Special Rapporteur on the situation of human
rights in the Islamic Republic of Iran expressed alarm about
the systemic and systematic persecution of members of the
Baha'i community, including severe socioeconomic pressure and
arrests and detention. He also deplored the Government's
tolerance of an intensive defamation campaign aimed at
inciting discrimination and hate against Baha'is.''.
(17) On September 13, 2012, the United Nations Special
Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Islamic
Republic of Iran issued a report (A/67/369), which stated,
``Reports and interviews submitted to the Special Rapporteur
also continue to portray a disturbing trend with regard to
religious freedom in the country. Members of both recognized
and unrecognized religions have reported various levels of
intimidation, arrest, detention and interrogation that focus
on their religious beliefs.'', and stated, ``At the time of
drafting the report, 105 members of the Baha'i community were
reported to be in detention.''.
(18) On November 27, 2012, the Third Committee of the
United Nations General Assembly adopted a draft resolution
(A/C.3/67/L.51), which noted, ``[I]ncreased persecution and
human rights violations against persons belonging to
unrecognized religious minorities, particularly members of
the Baha'i faith and their defenders, including escalating
attacks, an increase in the number of arrests and detentions,
the restriction of access to higher education on the basis of
religion, the sentencing of twelve Baha'is associated with
Baha'i educational institutions to lengthy prison terms, the
continued denial of access to employment in the public
sector, additional restrictions on participation in the
private sector, and the de facto criminalization of
membership in the Baha'i faith.''.
(19) On December 20, 2012, the United Nations General
Assembly adopted a resolution (A/RES/67/182), which called
upon the government of Iran ``[t]o eliminate discrimination
against, and exclusion of . . . members of the Baha'i Faith,
regarding access to higher education, and to eliminate the
criminalization of efforts to provide higher education to
Baha'i youth denied access to Iranian universities,'' and
``to accord all Baha'is, including those imprisoned because
of their beliefs, the due process of law and the rights that
they are constitutionally guaranteed''.
(20) On February 28, 2013, the United Nations Special
Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Islamic
Republic of Iran issued a report (A/HRC/22/56), which stated,
``110 Bahai's are currently detained in Iran for exercising
their faith, including two women, Mrs. Zohreh Nikayin and
Mrs. Taraneh Torabi, who are reportedly nursing infants in
prison''.
(21) In March and May of 2008, intelligence officials of
the Government of Iran in Mashhad and Tehran arrested and
imprisoned Mrs. Fariba Kamalabadi, Mr. Jamaloddin Khanjani,
Mr. Afif Naeimi, Mr. Saeid Rezaie, Mr. Behrouz Tavakkoli,
Mrs. Mahvash Sabet, and Mr. Vahid Tizfahm, the seven members
of the ad hoc leadership group for the Baha'i community in
Iran.
(22) In August 2010, the Revolutionary Court in Tehran
sentenced the seven Baha'i leaders to 20-year prison terms on
charges of ``spying for Israel, insulting religious
sanctities, propaganda against the regime and spreading
corruption on earth''.
(23) The lawyer for these seven leaders, Mrs. Shirin Ebadi,
the Nobel Laureate, was denied meaningful or timely access to
the prisoners and their files, and her successors as defense
counsel were provided extremely limited access.
(24) These seven Baha'i leaders were targeted solely on the
basis of their religion.
[[Page H3582]]
(25) Beginning in May 2011, Government of Iran officials in
four cities conducted sweeping raids on the homes of dozens
of individuals associated with the Baha'i Institute for
Higher Education (BIHE) and arrested and detained several
educators associated with BIHE.
(26) In October 2011, the Revolutionary Court in Tehran
sentenced seven of these BIHE instructors and administrators,
Mr. Vahid Mahmoudi, Mr. Kamran Mortezaie, Mr. Mahmoud
Badavam, Ms. Nooshin Khadem, Mr. Farhad Sedghi, Mr. Riaz
Sobhani, and Mr. Ramin Zibaie, to prison terms for the crime
of ``membership of the deviant sect of Baha'ism, with the
goal of taking action against the security of the country, in
order to further the aims of the deviant sect and those of
organizations outside the country''.
(27) Six of these educators remain imprisoned, with Mr.
Mortezaie serving a 5-year prison term and Mr. Badavam, Ms.
Khadem, Mr. Sedghi, Mr. Sobhani, and Mr. Zibaie serving 4-
year prison terms.
(28) Since October 2011, four other BIHE educators, Ms.
Faran Hessami, Mr. Kamran Rahimian, Mr. Kayvan Rahimian, and
Mr. Shahin Negari have been sentenced to 4-year prison terms,
which they are now serving.
(29) The efforts of the Government of Iran to collect
information on individual Baha'is have recently intensified
as evidenced by a letter, dated November 5, 2011, from the
Director of the Department of Education in the county of
Shahriar in the province of Tehran, instructing the directors
of schools in his jurisdiction to ``subtly and in a
confidential manner'' collect information on Baha'i students.
(30) The Baha'i community continues to undergo intense
economic and social pressure, including an ongoing campaign
in the town of Semnan, where the Government of Iran has
harassed and detained Baha'is, closed 17 Baha'i owned
businesses in the last three years, and imprisoned several
members of the community, including three mothers along with
their infants.
(31) Ordinary Iranian citizens who belong to the Baha'i
faith are disproportionately targeted, interrogated, and
detained under the pretext of national security.
(32) The Government of Iran is party to the International
Covenants on Human Rights and is in violation of its
obligations under the Covenants.
(b) Statement of Policy.--Congress--
(1) condemns the Government of Iran for its state-sponsored
persecution of its Baha'i minority and its continued
violation of the International Covenants on Human Rights;
(2) calls on the Government of Iran to immediately release
the seven imprisoned leaders, the ten imprisoned educators,
and all other prisoners held solely on account of their
religion; and
(3) calls on the President and Secretary of State, in
cooperation with responsible nations, to immediately condemn
the Government of Iran's continued violation of human rights
and demand the immediate release of prisoners held solely on
account of their religion.

SEC. 12_. LIMITATION ON AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS TO IMPLEMENT
THE ARMS TRADE TREATY.
None of the funds authorized to be appropriated by this Act
or otherwise made available for fiscal year 2014 or any
fiscal year thereafter for the Department of Defense may be
obligated or expended to implement the Arms Trade Treaty, or
to make any change to existing programs, projects, or

unless the Arms Trade Treaty has been signed by the

Congress.
Amendment No. 134 Offered by Mr. Rigell of Virginia
At the end of subtitle E of title XII of division A, add
the following new section:
SEC. 12_. WAR POWERS OF CONGRESS.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) In 1793, George Washington said, ``The constitution
vests the power of declaring war in Congress; therefore no
offensive expedition of importance can be undertaken until
after they shall have deliberated upon the subject and
authorized such a measure.''.
(2) In a letter to Thomas Jefferson in 1798, James Madison
wrote: ``The constitution supposes, what the History of all
Governments demonstrates, that the Executive is the branch of
power most interested in war, and most prone to it. It has
accordingly with studied care vested the question of war to
the Legislature.''
(3) In 1973, Congress passed the War Powers Resolution
which states in section 2: ``The constitutional powers of the
President as Commander-in-Chief to introduce United States
Armed Forces into hostilities, or into situations where
imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by
the circumstances, are exercised only pursuant to (1) a
declaration of war, (2) specific statutory authorization, or
(3) national emergency created by attack upon the United
States, its territories or possessions, or its armed
forces.''.
(4) In its April 1, 2011, Memorandum to President Obama,
the Office of Legal Counsel concluded: ``President Obama
could rely on his constitutional power to safeguard the
national interest by directing the anticipated military
operations in Libya--which were limited in their nature,
scope, and duration--without prior congressional
authorization.''.
(5) On June 15, 2011, in a letter to the Speaker of the
House of Representatives from the Department of Defense and
Department of State, the Departments informed Congress that
``The President is of the view that the current U.S. military
operations in Libya are consistent with the War Powers
Resolution and do not under that law require further
congressional authorization, because U.S. military operations
are distinct from the kind of `hostilities contemplated by
the Resolution's 60 day termination provision'.''.
(6) The precedence set by the Executive Branch in its
assertion that Congress plays no role in military actions
like those taken in Libya is contrary to the intent of the
Framers and of the Constitution which vests sole authority to
declare war in the Legislative Branch.
(b) Rule of Construction.--Nothing in this Act shall be
construed to authorize any use of military force.
Amendment No. 136 Offered by Mr. Broun of Georgia

drone to kill a citizen of the United States.

not apply to an individual who is actively engaged in combat
against the United States.

an unmanned aircraft (as defined in section 331 of the FAA
Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (49 U.S.C. 40101 note)).
[[Page H3583]]

At the end of subtitle E of title XII of division A, add
the following new section:
SEC. 12_. STATEMENT OF POLICY AND REPORT ON THE INHERENT
RIGHT OF ISRAEL TO SELF-DEFENSE.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The United States-Israel Enhanced Security Cooperation
Act of 2012 (22 U.S.C. 8601 et seq.) established the policy
of the United States to support the inherent right of Israel
to self-defense.
(2) The United States-Israel Enhanced Security Cooperation
Act of 2012 (22 U.S.C. 8601 et seq.) expressed the sense of
Congress that the Government of the United States should
transfer to the Government of Israel defense articles and
defense services such as air refueling tankers, missile
defense capabilities, and specialized munitions.
(3) The inherent right of Israel to self-defense
necessarily includes the possession and maintenance by Israel
of an independent capability to remove existential threats to
its security and defend its vital national interests.
(b) Policy of the United States.--It is the policy of the
United States to take all necessary steps to ensure that
Israel possesses and maintains an independent capability to
remove existential threats to its security and defend its
vital national interests.
(c) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that
air refueling tankers and advanced bunker-buster munitions
should immediately be transferred to Israel to ensure our
democratic ally has an independent capability to remove any
existential threat posed by the Iranian nuclear program and
defend its vital national interests.
(d) Report.--Not later than 90 days after the date of the
enactment of this Act, and every 90 days thereafter, the
President shall submit to the House and Senate Armed Services
committees, the House Foreign Affairs Committee, the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee, and the House and Senate
Appropriations committees a report that--
(1) identifies all aerial refueling platforms, bunker-
buster munitions, and other capabilities and platforms that
would contribute significantly to the maintenance by Israel
of a robust independent capability to remove existential
security threats, including nuclear and ballistic missile
facilities in Iran, and defend its vital national interests;
(2) assesses the availability for sale or transfer of items
necessary to acquire the capabilities and platforms described
in paragraph (1) as well as the legal authorities available
for making such transfers; and
(3) describes the steps the President is taking to
immediately transfer the items described in paragraph (1)
pursuant to the policy described in subsection (b).

Add at the end of subtitle E of title XII the following:

IMPLICATIONS OF CENTRAL ASIAN AND SOUTH
CAUCASUS ENERGY DEVELOPMENT.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) Assured access to stable energy supplies is an enduring
concern of both the United States and the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization (NATO).
(2) Adopted in Lisbon in November 2010, the new NATO
Strategic Concept declares that ``[s]ome NATO countries will

their energy needs''.
(3) The report required by section 1233 of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law
112-81) reaffirmed the Strategic Concept's assessment of
growing energy dependence of some members of the NATO
alliance and also noted there is value in the assured access,
protection, and delivery of energy.
(4) Development of energy resources and transit routes in
the areas surrounding the Caspian Sea can diversify sources
of supply for members of the NATO alliance, particularly
those in Eastern Europe.
(b) Report.--

enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall, in
consultation with the Secretary of State and the Secretary of

Department of Defense expects to gain from such military-to-
military contacts, and any concerns regarding such contacts.

including the size and activity of military attache offices

(c) Definition.--In this section the term ``specified
congressional committees'' means--
(1) the Committee on Armed Services and the Committee on
Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives; and
(2) the Committee on Armed Services and the Committee on
Foreign Relations of the Senate.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 260, the gentleman
from California (Mr. McKeon) and the gentleman from Washington (Mr.
Larsen) each will control 10 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from California.
Mr. McKEON. Madam Chair, I urge the committee to adopt the amendments
en bloc, all of which have been examined by both the majority and the
minority.
At this time, I yield 2 minutes to my friend and colleague, the
gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Gingrey).
Mr. GINGREY of Georgia. Madam Chairman, I thank the chairman for
recognizing me, and I rise in strong support of the Connolly-Granger-
Diaz-Balart-Gingrey-Sires-Carter amendment No. 185 to H.R. 1960 that
was included in the en bloc amendment No. 6.
As a former cochair of the Congressional Taiwan Caucus, I believe
this amendment embodies the spirit of the Taiwan Relations Act of 1979
in providing assistance to Taiwan for its own defense.
Through the Taiwan Relations Act, we are able to conduct arms sales
to Taipei. Over the past 30 years, we have done this time and time
again. Unfortunately, the Obama administration has failed to proceed on
Taiwan's top request: the F-16/CD aircraft.
Taiwan has an aging fixed-wing aircraft fleet; and with the growing
military gap across the Taiwan Strait, it is critical that we sell them
this aircraft.
Our bipartisan amendment does just that by requiring the President to
move forward on the sale of no fewer than 66 F-16/CDs. And I urge my
colleagues to uphold our commitment to Taiwan and support the Connolly-
Granger-Diaz-Balart-Gingrey-Sires-Carter amendment.
Mr. LARSEN of Washington. Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my
time.
Mr. McKEON. Madam Chair, at this time I yield 2 minutes to my friend
and colleague, the gentleman from Oklahoma (Mr. Bridenstine).
Mr. BRIDENSTINE. Madam Chair, I rise in support of my amendments, No.
116 and No. 158, in the en bloc package.
My first amendment requires the Department of Defense to annually
assess military and security developments involving the Russian
Federation.
To be quite frank, the Obama administration's so-called ``reset
policy'' with Russia is in shambles. Moscow has been intransigent on
Iran, continues to supply Syria with weapons, occupies Georgia, has
repeatedly threatened our NATO allies with nuclear strikes, and
continually seeks to undermine the political independence of former
Soviet satellite states.
Vladimir Putin announced plans to spend about $750 billion to
modernize the Russian military. The Putin build-up envisions modernized
and robust nuclear, space and cyber forces. By the way, Madam Chairman,
not too long ago Putin called the Soviet Union's collapse ``the
greatest geopolitical catastrophe for the century.''
{time} 2030
Russian military modernization concerns us and our allies and our
friends, particularly those in Eastern Europe and the Caucasus. It is
imperative that Congress understand the implications of Russia's
military buildup for our bilateral relationship and regional stability.
Mr. LARSEN of Washington. Madam Chair, I continue to reserve the
balance of my time.
Mr. McKEON. How much time do we have left?
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from California has 7 minutes
remaining.
Mr. McKEON. Madam Chair, I yield 2 minutes to my friend and
colleague, the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Broun).
Mr. BROUN of Georgia. I thank the chairman for yielding.
I am pleased to support this en bloc amendment which includes
important language to put a stop to the practice of using drones to
kill Americans and prevent any administration in the future from doing
so as well. The only exception would be if a citizen is actively
engaged in combat against the United States. Not plotting, not
suspected, but currently engaging in combat.
Attorney General Eric Holder made it perfectly clear in a recent
white paper that the administration believes that they have the right
to be judge, jury and executioner of any and all American citizens.
My amendment would correct this dangerous overreach and defend
Americans' God-given constitutionally protected rights.
However, while this will curtail the threat of drones, I'm
disappointed that another of my amendments was not made in order to
address another overarching issue.
Along with my colleague from California, Congresswoman Lee, I
sponsored an amendment to sunset the Authorization for Use of Military
Force in Afghanistan, a provision that has outrageously expanded the
powers of the Federal Government. This law has allowed our government
to engage in indefinite detention, extrajudicial targeted killing,
warrantless surveillance and wiretapping activities, and the open-ended
expansion of military operations abroad.
It's time for this provision to go. And if we need additional war
authorizations, they should be narrow and clear, as our Founders
intended. It's time to end this abuse of power by our Federal
Government. I will continue working with my colleagues on both sides of
the aisle to meet that goal and to restore liberty in America.
Mr. LARSEN of Washington. Madam Chair, I continue to reserve the
balance of my time.
Mr. McKEON. Madam Chair, I yield 1 minute to my good friend from
Georgia, Dr. Phil Gingrey.
Mr. GINGREY of Georgia. Madam Chair, I rise today to urge my
colleagues to support my commonsense amendment that was included in one
of the en bloc amendments to be considered tomorrow that would express
the sense of Congress that Active Duty military personnel who live in
or are stationed in Washington, D.C., should be exempt from existing
District of Columbia firearms restrictions.
It is no secret that the District of Columbia has historically had
some of the most restrictive firearm regulations in the Nation, even
after the victory for Second Amendment rights in the 2008 ruling by the
Supreme Court in the District of Columbia v. Heller. With approximately
40,000 servicemen and -women across all branches of the Armed Forces
either living in or actually stationed on Active Duty within the
Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, these individuals are subject to
the very laws of the District of Columbia that make the lawful
possession of firearms nearly impossible.
My amendment would recognize that the D.C. handgun law, especially in
regard to trained servicemen and -women, punishes individuals.
The Acting CHAIR. The time of the gentleman has expired.
Mr. McKEON. I yield an additional 1 minute to the gentleman.
Mr. GINGREY of Georgia. I thank the gentleman.
Madam Chairman, my amendment would recognize that the D.C. handgun
law, especially in regard to trained servicemen and -women, punishes
individuals well-equipped to protect themselves and others while
emboldening perpetrators of violent crime.
I urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to support this
amendment.
Mr. McKEON. We have no further speakers.
Mr. LARSEN of Washington. Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my
time.
Mr. McKEON. I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. CONNOLLY. Madam Chair, I am pleased to offer a simple bipartisan
amendment with Representatives Wolf and Schneider to expand an existing
report required by Section 1242 of the bill. The amendment clarifies
that the report ought to include information on how the Egyptian
military is supporting the rights of individuals involved in civil
society and democratic promotion efforts through non-governmental
organizations or NGOs.
[[Page H3585]]
This a timely issue, given the guilty verdict rendered by an Egyptian
court June 4th against 43 NGO workers--including 17 Americans--because
of their involvement with pro-democracy groups. The guilty verdict
renews concerns about Egypt's commitment to democratic principles. In
fact, I am circulating a bipartisan letter with my Virginia colleague,
Representative Wolf, urging Egyptian President Morsi to immediately
reconsider this action and permit the NGOs to continue their important
work. So far, more than 50 Members of Congress have signed our
bipartisan letter, including Representative Schneider, who also
cosponsored this amendment.
The United States supports the aspirations of the Egyptian people to
become a free and fair society, in which all NGOs--regardless of their
nation of origin-- are allowed to operate freely. I hope that Egyptian
officials will come to this same realization and return property
confiscated from the NGOs 18 months ago, remove their staff from the
no-fly list, and permit them to continue their work supporting a fair
and open election process and helping to improve the lives of all
Egyptians.
If the U.S. government and the American people are to have any
confidence that the Egyptian government is undertaking a genuine
transition to a democratic state, under civilian control, where the
freedoms of assembly, association, religion, and expression are
guaranteed and the rule of law is upheld, then we must see a swift and
satisfactory resolution to this case.
As my colleagues will recall, this ordeal began a year and a half
ago, when Egyptian forces raided both American and non-American NGO
offices. During the raids, Egyptian forces seized records, computers,
other electronic equipment, and hard currency. At every turn Egyptian
authorities assured the NGOs and U.S. authorities that the situation
would be appropriately resolved, only to renege on their word. For
example, three days after the raids, U.S. NGOs were waiting for the
return of their confiscated property as promised by Field Marshal
Tantawi while simultaneously, another Egyptian official--Fayza Abou
Naga, the government minister in charge of coordinating foreign aid--
was holding a press conference saying the property would not be
returned. Abou Naga also accused the NGOs of illicitly funneling money
to the April 6th Youth Movement.
When I traveled to Egypt in March of last year, my colleagues and I
raised the issue of the NGOs with General Tantawi. During that trip, we
also met with the Egyptian staffers who were facing charges. They were
in a precarious position, and their situation has only worsened with
the June 4th verdict.
We cannot in good conscience ignore the results of the recent trial,
which comes on the heels of a draft law that further restricts NGOs,
fails to meet Egypt's international commitments with respect to freedom
of association, and lends credence to the opinion that there is an
ongoing war against civil society in Egypt.
U.S. law with regard to this issue is clear in the restrictions
placed on the $1.3 billion in military aid for Egypt: Prior to the
obligation of funds appropriated by this Act under the heading `Foreign
Military Financing Program,' the Secretary of State shall certify to
the Committees on Appropriations that the Government of Egypt is
supporting the transition to civilian government including holding free
and fair elections; implementing policies to protect freedom of
expression, association, and religion, and due process of law.
With the current state of affairs in Egypt, any such certification
that Egypt is, in fact, implementing policies to guarantee the pillars
of a free society would be met with skepticism. That is why news
reports of Secretary Kerry's recent action to waive the restrictions on
that military aid are of particular concern. It is not too late to
include these important NGO issues in a larger discussion about
releasing (or withholding) other tranches of money to Egypt.
Our amendment would further support the transition to democracy by
requiring the Pentagon report on how Egyptian military activities
contribute to an atmosphere where pro-democracy NGOs can operate
freely. I encourage my colleagues to support the Connolly/Wolf/
Schneider amendment and to sign the related letter to President Morsi
of Egypt.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendments en bloc offered

new section:
SEC. 12_. SENSE OF CONGRESS STRONGLY SUPPORTING THE FULL
IMPLEMENTATION OF UNITED STATES AND
INTERNATIONAL SANCTIONS ON IRAN AND URGING THE
PRESIDENT TO CONTINUE TO STRENGTHEN ENFORCEMENT
OF SANCTIONS LEGISLATION.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) On May 14, 1948, the people of Israel proclaimed the
establishment of the sovereign and independent State of
Israel.
(2) On March 28, 1949, the United States Government
recognized the establishment of the new State of Israel and
established full diplomatic relations.
(3) Since its establishment nearly 65 years ago, the modern
State of Israel has rebuilt a nation, forged a new and
dynamic democratic society, and created a thriving economic,
political, cultural, and intellectual life despite the heavy
costs of war, terrorism, and unjustified diplomatic and
economic boycotts against the people of Israel.
(4) The people of Israel have established a vibrant,
pluralistic, democratic political system, including freedom
of speech, association, and religion; a vigorously free
press; free, fair, and open elections; the rule of law; a
fully independent judiciary; and other democratic principles
and practices.
(5) Since the 1979 revolution in Iran, the leaders of the
Islamic Republic of Iran have repeatedly made threats against
the existence of the State of Israel and sponsored acts of
terrorism and violence against its citizens.
(6) On October 27, 2005, President of Iran Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad called for a world without America and Zionism.
(7) In February 2012, Supreme Leader of Iran Ali Khamenei
said of Israel, ``The Zionist regime is a true cancer tumor
on this region that should be cut off. And it definitely will
be cut off.''.
(8) In August 2012, Supreme Leader Khamenei said of Israel,
``This bogus and fake Zionist outgrowth will disappear off
the landscape of geography.''.
(9) In August 2012, President Ahmadinejad said that ``in
the new Middle East . . . there will be no trace of the
American presence and the Zionists'';
(10) The Department of State has designated the Islamic
Republic of Iran as a state sponsor of terrorism since 1984
and has characterized the Islamic Republic of Iran as the
``most active state sponsor of terrorism'' in the world.
(11) The Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran has
provided weapons, training, funding, and direction to
terrorist groups, including Hamas, Hizballah, and Shiite
militias in Iraq that are responsible for the murder of
hundreds of United States service members and innocent
civilians.
(12) The Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran has
provided weapons, training, and funding to the regime of
Bashar al Assad that has been used to suppress and murder its
own people.
(13) Since at least the late 1980s, the Government of the
Islamic Republic of Iran has engaged in a sustained and well-
documented pattern of illicit and deceptive activities to
acquire a nuclear weapons capability.
(14) Since September 2005, the Board of Governors of the
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has found the
Islamic Republic of Iran to be in non-compliance with its
safeguards agreement with the IAEA, which Iran is obligated
to undertake as a non-nuclear-weapon State Party to the
Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, done at
Washington, London, and Moscow July 1, 1968, and entered into
force March 5, 1970 (NPT).
(15) The United Nations Security Council has adopted
multiple resolutions since 2006 demanding of the Government
of the Islamic Republic of Iran its full and sustained
suspension of all uranium enrichment-related and reprocessing
activities and its full cooperation with the IAEA on all
outstanding issues related to its nuclear activities,
particularly those concerning the possible military
dimensions of its nuclear program.
(16) The Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran has
refused to comply with United Nations Security Council
resolutions or to fully cooperate with the IAEA.
(17) In November 2011, the IAEA Director General issued a
report that documented ``serious concerns regarding possible
military dimensions to Iran's nuclear programme'', and
affirmed that information available to the IAEA indicates
that ``Iran has carried out activities relevant to the
development of a nuclear explosive device'' and that some
activities may be ongoing.
(18) The Government of Iran stands in violation of the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights for denying its
citizens basic freedoms, including the freedoms of
expression, religion, peaceful assembly and movement, and for
flagrantly abusing the rights of minorities and women.
(19) In his State of the Union Address on January 24, 2012,
President Barack Obama stated, ``Let there be no doubt:
America is determined to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear
weapon, and I will take no options off the table to achieve
that goal.''.
(20) Congress has passed and the President has signed into
law legislation imposing significant economic and diplomatic
sanctions on Iran to encourage the Government of Iran to
abandon its pursuit of nuclear weapons and end its support
for terrorism.
(21) These sanctions, while having significant effect, have
yet to persuade Iran to abandon its illicit pursuits and
comply with United Nations Security Council resolutions.
(22) More stringent enforcement of sanctions legislation,
including elements targeting oil exports and access to
foreign exchange, could still lead the Government of Iran to
change course.
(23) In his State of the Union Address on February 12,
2013, President Obama reiterated, ``The leaders of Iran must
recognize that now is the time for a diplomatic solution,
because a coalition stands united in demanding that they meet
their obligations. And we will do what is necessary to
prevent them from getting a nuclear weapon.''.
(24) On March 4, 2012, President Obama stated, ``Iran's
leaders should understand that I do not have a policy of
containment; I have a policy to prevent Iran from obtaining a
nuclear weapon.''.
(25) On October 22, 2012, President Obama said of Iran,
``The clock is ticking . . . And we're going to make sure
that if they do not meet the demands of the international
community, then we are going to take all options necessary to
make sure they don't have a nuclear weapon.''.
(26) On May 19, 2011, President Obama stated, ``Every state
has the right to self-defense, and Israel must be able to
defend itself, by itself, against any threat.''.
[[Page H3587]]
(27) On September 21, 2011, President Obama stated,
``America's commitment to Israel's security is unshakeable.
Our friendship with Israel is deep and enduring.''.
(28) On March 4, 2012, President Obama stated, ``And
whenever an effort is made to delegitimize the state of
Israel, my administration has opposed them. So there should
not be a shred of doubt by now: when the chips are down, I
have Israel's back.''.
(29) On October 22, 2012, President Obama stated, ``Israel
is a true friend. And if Israel is attacked, America will
stand with Israel. I've made that clear throughout my
presidency . . . I will stand with Israel if they are
attacked.''.
(30) In December 2012, 74 United States Senators wrote to
President Obama ``As you begin your second term as President,
we ask you to reiterate your readiness to take military
action against Iran if it continues its efforts to acquire a
nuclear weapon. In addition, we urge you to work with our
European and Middle Eastern allies to demonstrate to the
Iranians that a credible and capable multilateral coalition
exists that would support a military strike if, in the end,
this is unfortunately necessary.''.
(31) The United States-Israel Enhanced Security Cooperation
Act of 2012 (Public Law 112-150) stated that it is United
States policy to support Israel's inherent right to self-
defense.
(b) Sense of Congress.--Congress--
(1) reaffirms the special bonds of friendship and
cooperation that have existed between the United States and
the State of Israel for more than sixty years and that enjoy
overwhelming bipartisan support in Congress and among the
people of the United States;
(2) strongly supports the close military, intelligence, and
security cooperation that President Obama has pursued with
Israel and urges this cooperation to continue and deepen;
(3) deplores and condemns, in the strongest possible terms,
the reprehensible statements and policies of the leaders of
the Islamic Republic of Iran threatening the security and
existence of Israel;
(4) recognizes the tremendous threat posed to the United
States, the West, and Israel by the Government of Iran's
continuing pursuit of a nuclear weapons capability;
(5) reiterates that the policy of the United States is to
prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon capability and
to take such action as may be necessary to implement this
policy;
(6) reaffirms its strong support for the full
implementation of United States and international sanctions
on Iran and urges the President to continue and strengthen
enforcement of sanctions legislation;
(7) declares that the United States has a vital national
interest in, and unbreakable commitment to, ensuring the
existence, survival, and security of the State of Israel, and
reaffirms United States support for Israel's right to self-
defense; and
(8) urges that, if the Government of Israel is compelled to
take military action in legitimate self-defense against
Iran's nuclear weapons program, the United States Government
should stand with Israel and provide, in accordance with
United States law and the constitutional responsibility of
Congress to authorize the use of military force, diplomatic,
military, and economic support to the Government of Israel in
its defense of its territory, people, and existence.
(c) Rule of Construction.--Nothing in this section shall be
construed as an authorization for the use of force or a
declaration of war.
Amendment No. 148 Offered by Mr. Fortenberry of Nebraska
At the end of title XIII, add the following new section:
SEC. 13_. STRATEGY TO MODERNIZE COOPERATIVE THREAT REDUCTION
AND PREVENT THE PROLIFERATION OF WEAPONS OF
MASS DESTRUCTION AND RELATED MATERIALS IN THE
MIDDLE EAST AND NORTH AFRICA REGION.
(a) Strategy Required.--The Secretary of Defense, in
consultation with the Secretary of State and the Secretary of
Energy, shall establish a comprehensive and broad
nonproliferation strategy to modernize cooperative threat
reduction and advance cooperative efforts with international
partners to reduce the threat from the proliferation of
weapons of mass destruction and related materials in the
Middle East and North Africa region.
(b) Elements.--The strategy required by subsection (a)
shall--
(1) build upon the current activities of the Departments of
Defense, State, and Energy's nonproliferation programs that
aim to mitigate the range of threats in the Middle East and
North Africa region posed by weapons of mass destruction;

Add at the end of subtitle C of title X the following:
SEC. 1090. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON ESTABLISHMENT OF AN ADVISORY
BOARD ON TOXIC SUBSTANCES AND WORKER HEALTH.

establish an Advisory Board on Toxic Substances and Worker
Health, as described in the report of the Comptroller General
of the United States titled ``Energy Employees Compensation:
Additional Independent Oversight and Transparency Would
Improve Program's Credibility'', numbered GAO-10-302, to--

Amendment No. 168 Offered by Mr. Franks of Arizona
At the end of subtitle E of title XII of division A of the
bill, add the following new section:
SEC. 12_. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE ILLEGAL NUCLEAR WEAPONS
PROGRAMS OF IRAN AND NORTH KOREA.
It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the paramount security concern of the United States is
the ongoing and illegal nuclear weapons programs of the
Islamic Republic of Iran and the Democratic People's Republic
of Korea;
(2) it should be the primary objective of the President of
the United States to ensure that North Korea's nuclear
program is completely and verifiably eliminated and that
Iran, and its terrorist proxies, are not allowed to develop
nuclear weapons capability and the means to deliver them;
(3) the continuing failure to compel Iran and North Korea
to comply with their respective obligations under
international law risks greater nuclear proliferation
throughout already unstable regions by states that have
chosen, but not irreversibly so, to refrain from developing
or acquiring their own nuclear weapons capability;
(4) nuclear arms reductions by the United States and the
Russian Federation have not persuaded or otherwise
incentivized Iran and North Korea to halt or reverse their
destabilizing and dangerous nuclear weapons programs, nor
have they resulted in increased cooperation by other states
to deal with these threats; and
(5) the President should use all international fora
available to the President to pursue the complete and
verifiable elimination of the nuclear weapons programs of
Iran and North Korea as the President's paramount obligation
to the security of the American people.

The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 260, the gentleman
from California (Mr. McKeon) and the gentleman from Washington (Mr.
Larsen) each will control 10 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from California.
Mr. McKEON. Madam Chair, I urge the committee to adopt the amendments
en bloc, all of which have been examined by both the majority and the
minority. We have no speakers on these amendments.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. LARSEN of Washington. Madam Chair, we have no speakers, and I
yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. McKEON. Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. MICHAUD. Madam Chair, I rise today to support the Tsongas-Michaud
amendment, which will strengthen the Department of Defenses' (DOD) Buy
America requirements.
According to the Berry Amendment, the Department of Defense (DOD)
cannot procure clothing items unless they are produced in the United
States. In recent years, however, DOD has circumvented this policy by
issuing cash allowances to soldiers for their own purchase of physical
training shoes.
The amendment that Representative Tsongas and I sponsored to the
Defense Authorization bill would require that any footwear furnished or
provided by cash allowance to members of the Armed Forces upon initial
entry be Berry compliant. Two major, domestic athletic footwear
brands--New Balance and Wolverine World Wide--are already prepared to
produce 100% Berry compliant athletic shoes for the U.S. military. And
at least one of those companies can do so at a lower price than the
value of the cash allowances DOD gives soldiers now.
If DOD started complying with the Berry Amendment, I feel confident
many more companies would jump into the market as well.
[[Page H3589]]
This would be good for our troops and good for our economy. This
amendment makes Congress' intent of the Berry Amendment explicit and
will ensure that all components of our troops' PT uniforms are made in
the U.S.A.
Madam Chair, this amendment will guarantee our troops fight and train
in American-made uniforms from head to toe.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendments en bloc offered
by the gentleman from California (Mr. McKeon).
The en bloc amendments were agreed to.
Mr. McKEON. Madam Chair, I move that the Committee do now rise.
The motion was agreed to.
Accordingly, the Committee rose; and the Speaker pro tempore (Mr.
Thornberry) having assumed the chair, Ms. Ros-Lehtinen, Acting Chair of
the Committee of the Whole House on the state of the Union, reported
that that Committee, having had under consideration the bill (H.R.
1960) to authorize appropriations for fiscal year 2014 for military
activities of the Department of Defense and for military construction,
to prescribe military personnel strengths for such fiscal year, and for
other purposes, had come to no resolution thereon.
