{time} 1924
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 consideration of the bill
(H.R. 4435) to authorize appropriations for fiscal year 2015 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. Stewart in the chair.
The Clerk read the title of the bill.
The CHAIR. Pursuant to the rule, the bill is considered read the
first time.
The gentleman from California (Mr. McKeon) and the gentleman from
Washington (Mr. Smith) each will control 30 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from California.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
Mr. Chairman, I rise in support of H.R. 4435, the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015.
First, let me express my appreciation to Ranking Member Smith for his
leadership and friendship. He has been an invaluable partner in
upholding our committee's focus on providing for our men and women in
uniform. I would also like to thank our colleagues on the Armed
Services Committee for
[[Page H4542]]
their professionalism and their hard work.
I am incredibly proud of the bipartisan, transparent, and inclusive
process our committee undertakes each year. The bill under
consideration today is a strong reflection of the bipartisan priorities
and concerns shared by members of the committee, and is the result of
diligent oversight that has been conducted throughout the year. It
contains 154 amendments that were adopted during markup, and it passed
out of committee with unanimous support.
The bill would authorize $521 billion for national defense and an
additional $79 billion for overseas contingency operations, consistent
with the 2013 bipartisan budget agreement and the House-passed budget.
While we do not yet have the details of the OCO request, our
committee, the House Budget Committee, and the administration, all
agree that these funds will be required to support a residual U.S.
presence in Afghanistan; other ongoing operations, including in Africa;
and the reset and retrograde of equipment for the active, Guard, and
Reserve forces.
The bill contains no earmarks. It provides vital national security
resources for our troops while also maintaining our stewardship over
the taxpayer dollar.
The bill provides our warfighters, veterans, and their families with
the care and support that they need, deserve, and have earned. It
continues to advance the substantial reforms introduced in last year's
NDAA aimed at preventing sexual assault in the military, and it takes
several steps aimed at improving the military's suicide prevention
programs. The bill would increase troop pay while rejecting cuts to
TRICARE, housing allowances, and commissary benefits that would
increase out-of-pocket expenses for military families.
The legislation would provide our warfighters with the resources and
authorities they need to support an enduring mission in Afghanistan and
to continue pressuring al Qaeda and its affiliates. It also maintains
strong accountability and monitoring mechanisms for U.S. funds, ensures
the development of sound plans tied to resources, and continues the
prohibitions on the transfer of detainees to the United States.
I recently visited Afghanistan and was encouraged by the progress of
coalition forces and developments within the Afghan society. Nearly 8
million kids are in school, and a large percentage of those are girls,
compared to the 700,000 that were attending school under Taliban rule.
We need the President to signal his commitment and remove the
uncertainty that persists among the Afghan people and our coalition
partners, which al Qaeda and the Taliban continue to exploit.
Afghanistan cannot return to being a safe haven for al Qaeda.
In this era of declining resources, the committee was faced with
difficult choices as we sought to preserve key capabilities and to
ensure our Armed Forces could meet current threats and prepare for
future challenges. The bill identifies savings in less critical areas
that do not permanently damage the force or harm recruiting and
retention.
The legislation guards against achieving false short-term savings at
the expense of vital long-term strategic capabilities.
{time} 1930
For example, it supports the refueling of the USS George Washington--
an aircraft carrier with 25 years of service life remaining--and it
prohibits the early retirement of Navy cruisers, dock landing ships,
and the Air Force U-2 spy planes.
These capabilities are vital to our commanders in the Pacific, as
well as elsewhere across the globe. It also addresses shortfalls in
readiness by resourcing several unmet requirements in equipment,
training, and depot maintenance and by fully funding flying hour
programs across the services.
We must also get more defense for the dollar, which is why the
committee has initiated a comprehensive defense reform effort. This
bill begins that process with a series of provisions on institutional,
acquisition, security, and strategy reforms.
However, we must recognize that cost savings and reforms alone do not
compensate for the significant cuts to defense in recent years. The
Department of Defense has seen over $1 trillion cut from its budget.
This year's budget request is over $30 billion less than last year's.
The padding has been cut, and the Department is now cutting into the
bone--cutting end strength, force structure, and readiness--which is
increasing risk to our forces and their core missions. While this bill
makes tough choices, Congress will be called upon to make impossible
choices in the years ahead if sequestration is not addressed.
For 52 straight years, the National Defense Authorization Act has
been passed and signed into law. Congress has no higher responsibility
than to provide for the common defense, and with that in mind, I look
forward to passing this bill for the 53rd consecutive year, my last
year as chairman and as a Member of Congress.
Serving as chairman has been the great honor of my career. I am
humbled by the many soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines whom I have
met over the years and by the sacrifices that they and their families
make to keep America safe. I am thankful for my colleagues on both
sides of the aisle, and I am very appreciative of our staff.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I
may consume.
First of all, I want to join the chairman in thanking him for the
working relationship that he and I have enjoyed now through 4 years and
four national defense authorization acts. It is one of the main
principles of our committee in that it is bipartisan, that we work
together, and we produce a product every year--52 straight years, the
National Defense Authorization Act.
That doesn't happen as a starting point, unless the chair of the
committee takes the responsibility very seriously to make sure that our
committee remains bipartisan. We have had a whole series of chairmen
during my tenure who have done that, and Mr. McKeon has followed that
tradition just as well as his predecessors. He has worked very closely
with us.
We do not always agree, but we work closely together, understanding
that, at the end of the day, we have to produce a bill. So I thank him
for that, and I recognize that this will be his last NDAA. In fact,
this is the Buck McKeon National Defense Authorization Act. Mr.
Thornberry and I were proud to cosponsor the amendment in committee to
name this after Buck, for his great service to our committee.
As always, I also want to thank the staff. I can't thank them enough
for the work that they do and for the hours that they put in. They
spent yesterday going through 320 amendments.
Their expertise that they bring to this process is invaluable, and
someday, I hope that the House Administration Committee recognizes that
and actually gives us the amount of money we need to keep them. That is
just a little sidenote on a different piece of legislation.
This is, by and large, a good bill with one significant problem,
which I will get to in a minute.
First of all, as the chairman notes, we are still at war in
Afghanistan. I would say that I think, at this point, our continuing
commitment to Afghanistan is up to the Afghan people and, most
importantly, is up to the next Afghan President. We need the bilateral
security agreement to be signed. It has been agreed to.
President Karzai has refused to sign it, but hopefully, the next
President will. We have troops in harm's way, and this bill prioritizes
protecting them. Nothing is more important than what we do here today.
I am also pleased that this bill prioritizes Special Operations
Command and cyber warfare, recognizing, as we heard in the previous
piece of legislation about Boko Haram, that the main threat that we
face going forward is from terrorism and asymmetric threats.
I think we reflect that in this bill by funding those portions in the
Defense Department that deal with those issues, and I think that is
incredibly important.
However, we do have a budget problem, and put simply, we have a lot
less money now than we thought we were
[[Page H4543]]
going to have. So that means that 3 years ago, when the Pentagon was
planning what they were going to spend over the course of a decade,
they had a much larger number than they have now.
There are a whole bunch of reasons that number has gotten smaller,
but it has. It will get even smaller if 8 more years of sequestration
come to pass.
Now, the administration put out a plan 3 years ago when they looked
out 10 years and said: What should our strategy be? Then they looked
out 10 years and said: What are the likely resources?
When they put that plan out, they said: we know we are going to have
to live with, roughly, $500 billion less than we thought we were. We
can do it. Here is the strategy. Here is the plan that fits that.
Since then, the budget has been shredded. It has been cut by even
more. The plan they put forward now recognizes the fact that it doesn't
fund what they would like to fund because Congress passed a budget that
cuts the Defense Department by more than they would like. In fact, the
administration asked for an additional $28 billion this year and an
additional $150 billion over 5 years, in order to fully fund that.
That, apparently, is not forthcoming, so what they did is they put
forward a series of proposals to try as best as they could to save
money in a way that protects our force, and they did it in a number of
different areas.
They proposed a BRAC; they proposed about $2 billion in savings over
5 years to various personnel accounts; they got rid of the A-10; they
got rid of the U-2; they proposed laying up 14 ships. Those were the
main proposals out.
I am sorry. I forgot that they proposed shifting air assets in the
Guard and Reserve to save $12 billion over 5 years. Those were the
proposals they put on the table.
The problem with this bill is that it rejects every single one of
those proposals. How do we make the money work on that? Primarily by
creative accounting; with the Guard and Reserve, for instance, we say
no changes can be made in 2015.
They weren't planning on making any changes in 2015 that were going
to cost money, but if this stops them from doing it going forward, they
are put into a deep hole.
On the 14 ships that they wanted to lay up, we raid the modernization
account to pay for keeping those 14 ships operational. So we get
creative about it, but next year, the reckoning will come, frankly,
sequestration or no sequestration. If sequestration happens, it is
going to be really bad; but even if it doesn't, we still will not have
addressed the long-term needs of our budget.
I will have a couple of amendments, one on BRAC and one on those 14
ships, that will give us an opportunity to, I think, make a better
choice because the other way that we are able to preserve those
programs is that we cut from the President's budget about $1.8 billion
in readiness.
$1.2 billion is clear. The other 633 was to save the A-10, and it
comes out of OCO. A good chunk of OCO goes to rebuild readiness; so
basically, we take $1.8 billion out of readiness, which puts us down
the path to a hollow force that none of us wants. As we go forward to
conference, we are going to need to make some of those tougher choices.
I do thank the chairman for his work and for what is contained in
this bill. I look forward to debating the amendments, and I look
forward to--knock on wood--passing for the 53rd straight year the
National Defense Authorization Act, as is our primary responsibility.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from
Texas (Mr. Thornberry), my friend and colleague, who is the vice
chairman of the Armed Services Committee and who is the chairman of the
Intelligence, Emerging Threats, and Capabilities Subcommittee.
Mr. THORNBERRY. I thank the chairman for yielding.
Mr. Chairman, I want to start by commending the leadership of
Chairman McKeon and Ranking Member Smith in getting this bill to the
floor in such a timely way, especially after the President's budget was
quite late, but also in getting this bill here on a unanimous vote by
the committee.
None of us agrees with every provision that is in this bill, but
members of the committee were able to put aside personal preferences on
individual issues to support a bill that benefits the Nation overall,
and I hope that the House will do likewise.
I think it is important to emphasize that it has been a bipartisan
effort, working together with the chairman and the ranking member and
also with the chairmen of the subcommittees and with the ranking
members of the subcommittees, that has gotten us to this place.
I think it is especially appropriate for this bill to be named for
Chairman McKeon, not only in recognition for his leadership on this
bill, but for his leadership of the committee during some very
challenging circumstances throughout his tenure.
Some of those challenges have included our own budget issues, as was
just addressed by the ranking member, as well as a myriad of threats
around the world, so this measure that does so much for our country's
security will always be associated with the many contributions of
Chairman McKeon to our country's security.
Mr. Chairman, this bill meets the budget targets of the House-passed
budget resolution and also of the Ryan-Murray budget agreement. I agree
with the ranking member in that it does not solve our budget issues in
the future--we still have to grapple with those--but this year, it
meets those requirements, and it does so by making some difficult
choices.
In addition, among the many provisions of this bill, there are those
that start to make a modest start on some defense reforms that are
being worked on by both the House and the Senate in coordination with
the Pentagon and with private industry.
I think everyone recognizes that we have to find a way to get more
defense out of the money we spend, and there are some small but
important steps to enable us to make greater progress in that area in
the future, both by reducing overhead and by improving the way we
acquire goods and services.
This bill is also active in all areas of responsibility for the
Subcommittee on Intelligence, Emerging Threats, and Capabilities,
including military cyber, science and technology, information
technology, defense intelligence, special operations, and
counterterrorism and irregular warfare.
I agree with the ranking member on the importance, especially, of
cyber and special operations. In addition, we have coordinated with
other subcommittees on a number of provisions that touch on the areas I
have mentioned. In fact, I think the work among the subcommittees has
been closer than I have ever seen it.
In that regard, I want to express my appreciation for my partner on
the IETC Subcommittee, the gentleman from Rhode Island (Mr. Langevin),
for all of his insights and cooperative spirit that make our work
together so beneficial and rewarding. Like the chairman, I appreciate
all of the work of the staffs of the subcommittee and the full
committee.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the
gentleman from Rhode Island (Mr. Langevin), the ranking member of the
Intelligence, Emerging Threats and Capabilities Subcommittee.
(Mr. LANGEVIN asked and was given permission to revise and extend his
remarks.)
Mr. LANGEVIN. I thank the gentleman for yielding.
Mr. Chairman, I rise in support of H.R. 4435, the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015.
I would like to begin by thanking Chairman McKeon for his leadership
of the committee and for all of his years of dedication to national
security. It is appropriate that this act is named after him.
I want to thank and recognize the ranking member, Adam Smith, for his
leadership on the committee as well. He deeply cares about national
security, and I appreciate the work that he has done on this mark.
I also want to thank Congressman Mac Thornberry, the chair of the
Intelligence, Emerging Threats, and Capabilities Subcommittee. It has
been a privilege working with him. As the ranking member of the IETC
Subcommittee, I do appreciate his bipartisan work, and I am pleased
with the bill that we have produced this year.
[[Page H4544]]
Mr. Chairman, the IETC portion of the bill authorizes approximately
$7.6 billion for the U.S. Special Operations Command. Authorities
necessary for Special Operations Forces to combat terrorism are
extended in the bill, which also provides an additional $20 million for
the Combating Terrorism Technical Support Office, which gives our
Special Operations Forces the cutting-edge capabilities and
technologies that they need.
The IETC Subcommittee also made investments in emerging technologies
like electrical weapons, and I want to commend especially the Navy's
efforts to move technologies like directed energy and railguns, in
particular, out of the labs and into the field.
Getting this game-changing technology into the hands of the Nation's
sailors and into the hands of all of our warfighters will ultimately
serve to realize the promise of research investment.
In addition to our focus on research and development efforts, we must
also put investments into education programs, so that there is a
qualified science, technology, engineering, and mathematics--or STEM--
talent pool to benefit the DOD.
I am particularly pleased that the bill provides a total of $55.5
million for the National Defense Education Program. Additionally, the
IETC portion of the bill includes provisions to strengthen the
oversight of the intelligence community while ensuring that combat and
commander intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance requirements
are met.
The Acting CHAIR (Mr. Rice of South Carolina). The time of the
gentleman has expired.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. I yield the gentleman an additional 1
minute.
Mr. LANGEVIN. I thank the ranking member.
Mr. Chairman, last but certainly not least, the bill also supports
cyber operations and U.S. Cyber Command, while reducing redundant
programs and increasing transparency and oversight.
{time} 1945
As recent revelations of cyber incidents demonstrate, a trained and
ready cyber force and robust defensive capabilities have never been
more integral to our national security.
These are just but a few of the highlights in the bill. In the
interest of time, I will end there. But I do want to again thank the
chairman and the ranking member for their leadership, all the members
of the Armed Services Committee, as well as the staff of the committee,
for all the work that they have put into this mark.
I urge my colleagues to support the bill.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from
Virginia (Mr. Forbes), my friend and colleague and a member of the
Armed Services Committee and chairman of the Seapower and Projection
Forces Subcommittee.
Mr. FORBES. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Mr. Chairman, I rise in support of the Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015. With the
chairman's leadership and stewardship, I believe that this bill
provides the right authorities within the budget limits provided.
I continue to be impressed by Chairman McKeon's commitment to our
national defense and particularly his leadership and zeal to complete
the 54th annual National Defense Authorization Act. His inspirational
determination and effort to provide for our national security will
undoubtedly serve as a benchmark for our future.
I also want to recognize my friend and ranking member of the Seapower
and Projection Forces Subcommittee on the occasion of his retirement
from the House of Representatives. Mike McIntyre has been a resolute
supporter of the men and women in uniform. His departure after
providing 18 years of support for our national defense and this
institution will be sorely missed.
As to the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015, I
continue to be concerned about the trajectory of our national defense
and believe that our national security will be irreparably harmed if we
continue on our current path. History is full of examples of nation-
states that underestimate the value of national security and the severe
consequences of their failure. Our inability to change these trend
lines will be measured in the sweat and blood of the men and women whom
we collectively hold in such high esteem.
While we support these men and women in words, I fear that the real
damage to our servicemembers is being caused by the benign neglect of
this administration and, at times, Congress, in terms of funding and
effort. We must not stand idly by watching the continued dismantling of
the world's finest military.
As to the Seapower and Projection Forces Subcommittee mark, I am
pleased that we were successful in reversing the administration
recommendation to eliminate an aircraft carrier. By restoring $796
million for the long lead item procurement and detailed planning for
the refueling and complex overhaul of the USS George Washington, we are
taking the right steps to retain strategic options for future
Presidents.
I am also pleased that we funded two Arleigh Burke class destroyers,
two Virginia class submarines, and two littoral combat ships. I want to
especially highlight our incremental funding of the San Antonio class
amphibious ship. This amphib will bring important support to our United
States Marine Corps as we continue our strategic rebalance toward the
Pacific.
I remain very pleased with the direction of our projection forces.
This bill provides strategic Air Force investments in terms of
procuring 13 C-130J military transport variants, six KC-46A tankers,
and significant research and development investments in the long-range
strike bomber.
While we have a long way to go to reverse some negative trends, I
think this bill does a good job of supporting our forces within the
budget constraints provided. However, we need to vigorously and
resolutely seek another path to change our national security funding
trajectory.
I think this bill is another positive step on a long road to
adequately support our national security, and I would urge my
colleagues to support the Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the
gentlelady from California (Ms. Loretta Sanchez), ranking member of the
Tactical Air and Land Forces Subcommittee.
Ms. LORETTA SANCHEZ of California. Mr. Chair, I thank the ranking
member and my colleague from California, Chairman McKeon, in
particular, for all the work and guidance that he has given us as he
leaves the Congress at the end of this year. I am sure we will fete you
in better ways, but thank you for the work you have done.
I want to thank the chairman of the Tactical Air and Land Forces
Subcommittee, Chairman Mike Turner, for his leadership this year.
We have worked in a bipartisan manner. We have had three critical
goals in mind as we have done this: supporting our troops with the
equipment that they need, cutting wasteful spending, and investing in
our future.
The subcommittee's portion of H.R. 4435 supports all of the high-
priority acquisition programs in the President's budget.
H.R. 4435 provides $8.3 billion for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter,
$3.8 billion for Army aviation upgrades, $1.4 billion for the Ospreys,
and $997 million for U.S. Marine Corps ground equipment.
However, our subcommittee didn't just rubberstamp everything. We
actually took a very careful look at what programs were working, which
ones were slow, and what wasn't getting done. We were able to identify
more than $600 million in funding that we put in other places in the
bill. They were used to increase funding in numerous areas in an effort
to provide additional equipment for our military and preserve critical
production capabilities for the future.
Specifically, the bill provides an additional $450 million for the
EA-18G Growler aircraft for the Navy, $340 million for additional
ground combat vehicles for the Army, $80 million in additional funds
for the procurement of body armor, $250 million in funding for the
National Guard and Reserve equipment account, and numerous other
investments.
[[Page H4545]]
Finally, the chairman's mark includes important oversight legislation
on numerous major DOD programs to ensure that the Congress has the
information it needs to make future judgments.
The Acting CHAIR. The time of the gentlewoman has expired.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. I yield the gentlelady an additional 1
minute.
Ms. LORETTA SANCHEZ of California. This is a good government bill.
Please vote for it.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from
South Carolina (Mr. Wilson), my friend and colleague and a member of
the Armed Services Committee and chairman of the Military Personnel
Subcommittee.
Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Thank you, Chairman McKeon, for your
leadership. Congratulations on the deserved naming in your honor of the
National Defense Authorization Act.
Mr. Chair, the military personnel provisions of H.R. 4435 are a
product of an open, bipartisan process. H.R. 4435 provides our
warfighters, veterans, and military families the care and support they
need, deserve, and have earned.
Specifically, this year's proposal continues to refine the Department
of Defense sexual assault and response program while at the same time
actively monitoring the Department's implementation of the significant
reforms enacted by Congress over the past 2 years.
In particular, the mark requires performance evaluations for
commanding officers to include assessments of the command climate
pertaining to sexual assault.
In addition, the mark would require the Secretary of Defense to
conduct a review, utilizing the services of an independent organization
experienced in grocery retail analysis, of the defense commissary
system and reverse some of the reductions to the commissary system.
The mark would express the sense of Congress that the United States
has a responsibility to continue to search for missing or captured
members of the Armed Forces, leaving no one behind.
Additionally, this would standardize the collection reporting and
assessments of suicide data involving members of the Armed Forces and
their family members.
Although the mark follows the administration's request for annual end
strength reductions, I have serious reservations about the end strength
and force structure reduction of our military. America remains at war
today, and will continue a global conflict with murderous illegal enemy
combatants.
We must not forget the attacks of September 11, 2001, and September
11, 2012, in the global war on terrorism.
This report does not include the administration's request for
military retirees to pay more for health care. Congress established the
Military Compensation and Retirement Modernization Commission, and we
need to be informed of their analysis before proceeding with changes
impacting military families.
In conclusion, I want to thank Ranking Member Susan Davis and her
staff for their input in this process. We were joined by an active,
informed, and dedicated group of subcommittee members supported by a
professional staff in the tradition of the late John Chapla.
I urge my colleagues to support this legislation.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the
gentleman from North Carolina (Mr. McIntyre), the ranking member on the
Seapower and Projection Forces Subcommittee.
Mr. McINTYRE. Mr. Chairman, the Seapower and Projection Forces
portion of this bill continues this subcommittee's tradition of strong
bipartisan support for our men and women in uniform. I would like to
thank Subcommittee Chairman Forbes for working together in such an open
and bipartisan manner.
This is a good bill. This is an extremely challenging time, we know,
for the Department of Defense, given the fiscal constraints that it is
being required to operate under.
With this bill, the Armed Services Committee has attempted to strike
the difficult balance of providing for the current force while also
looking forward to the requirements of the future force.
I am pleased in particular this bill includes provisions that restore
funding for the refueling and complex overhaul of the USS George
Washington, which is the first step needed to ensure we maintain the
requirement of 11 aircraft carriers. This bill also authorizes two
Virginia class submarines, two Arleigh Burke destroyers, and an
additional 96 Tomahawk missiles.
This bill creates a national sea-based deterrence fund that is
designed to provide the Navy with some flexibility when it begins
construction of the Ohio class replacement submarine.
With this being my last defense bill before retiring at the end of
this term, I want to thank my good friend Randy Forbes for his
leadership as chairman of the subcommittee and his friendship through
the years.
I also want to thank my friend and my classmate, Adam Smith, for his
great leadership, and our gracious chairman, Buck McKeon, for the
leadership that he has given our committee overall and for his
friendship as well. I wish him well on his retirement.
I am glad that all of these gentleman that I have named and those
that I have served with on the subcommittee and the full committee have
together shared that position for making sure we do right by our men
and women in uniform.
With that, Mr. Speaker, I support the passage of this defense bill. I
urge other Members here in the Congress to do the same.
I pray God's blessings be upon all of those who serve and will
benefit from this bill.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from
Ohio (Mr. Turner), my friend and colleague and a member of the Armed
Services Committee and chairman of the Tactical Air and Land Forces
Subcommittee.
Mr. TURNER. Mr. Chairman, I rise in strong support of H.R. 4435, the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015.
I want to begin by thanking Chairman McKeon and Ranking Member Smith
for their leadership in this committee and this being truly a
bipartisan effort.
This will be Chairman McKeon's last bill. He has not only been a
leader for our committee and in Congress, but he has been a tremendous
mentor for so many of us in Congress. His legacy will leave a lasting
impact not only in legislation affecting the Department of Defense, our
national security, and our men and women in uniform, but the Members of
Congress who serve. And certainly, as we look to the future of the
Armed Services Committee, his legacy will be in his mentoring of the
other members of the committee.
I serve as chairman of the Tactical Air and Land Forces Subcommittee
as well as the cochair of the Military Sexual Assault Prevention
Caucus. I first want to thank the subcommittee's ranking member,
Loretta Sanchez from California, for her support in completing the
markup of this bill.
The committee's focus has been to support the men and women of the
Armed Forces and their families, providing them the equipment they need
and the support that they so deserve. This bill helps to retain defense
technology superiority, sustains the defense industrial base, and
maintains effective modernization for our military.
The committee bill includes additional funding for Abrams Tanks,
Bradley Fighting Vehicles, Stryker Combat Vehicles, Tactical Wheeled
Vehicles, body armor, and unmanned aerial systems.
I believe the committee bill strikes the appropriate balance between
equipping our military to effectively carry out its mission while also
providing aggressive oversight to ensure appropriate use of taxpayers'
dollars.
The bill again this year takes a significant step in combating the
issue of sexual assault in the military by incorporating the FAIR
Military Act of 2014, a bipartisan bill first introduced by myself and
Representative Niki Tsongas.
I would like to thank Representative Tsongas, Military Personnel
Subcommittee Chairman Joe Wilson, and Representative Davis, ranking
member on the Personnel Subcommittee, for their leadership on this
issue. I want to thank Chairman McKeon and Ranking Member Smith for
their leadership that has allowed a bipartisan solution on sexual
assault.

Under this bill, Congress limits the use of the ``good soldier
defense,'' which allows a defendant to cite unrelated, subjective
factors during trial, such as military record. It requires commanders
be assessed on their ability to create a climate where a victim can
report a crime without fear of retaliation. It ensures that the changes
and provisions regarding military sexual assault prevention from the
FY14 defense authorization apply to the military service academies.
{time} 2000
Finally, this bill provides the child custody protections that our
military men and women deserve.
I, again, want to thank Chairman McKeon for his help on protecting
the custody rights of our men and women in uniform. No longer will our
men and women face deployment while having to worry whether or not they
have the custody of their children upon return.
I urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to support this bill
and to vote ``yes'' on H.R. 4435.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the
gentlewoman from California (Mrs. Davis), ranking member of the
Military Personnel Subcommittee.
Mrs. DAVIS of California. Mr. Chairman, I want to thank Mr. Wilson
and the committee staff for working in a bipartisan manner to develop
this bill.
The Buck McKeon NDAA continues the committee's focus on sexual
assault and includes such provisions as requiring the judicial panel to
assess the use of mental health records by the defense in preliminary
hearings and to compare this with the civilian use of mental health
records in criminal proceedings; clarifying that the service academies,
including the Coast Guard Academy, are subject to the same sexual
harassment and assault requirements; requiring an inspector general
review of the separation records of servicemembers who made
unrestricted reports and determining whether such separation was in
retaliation for filing said report; requiring performance appraisals of
a commanding officer to include whether a command climate has been
established in which allegations of sexual assault are properly managed
and victims feel free to report; and requiring the Secretary of Defense
to modify rule 404 of the Military Rules of Evidence to clarify that
general military character of an accused is not admissible, except in
cases where the military character of the accused is relevant to the
offense being charged.
Mr. Chairman, oversight of sexual assault in the military remains a
priority of the committee, and we will continue to identify gaps that
need to be addressed and to enable the Department of Defense to reduce
these numbers.
We all want to get to the same place--safe working conditions and a
harassment-free, sexual assault-free environment for all, and there are
different views of how to get there; but the bill, as it is now, gives
us the opportunity to create a military where change can and must
occur.
On other personnel matters, our bill does not include the proposed
legislative changes to the commissary system, housing allowances, and
the health care modifications requested by the Department of Defense.
As a result of that, the Department will need to address the $1.5
billion savings it already took in its fiscal year 2015 budget.
The Acting CHAIR. The time of the gentlewoman has expired.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. I yield the gentlewoman an additional 30
seconds.
Mrs. DAVIS of California. In addition, the restoration of the 1
percent COLA reduction that was in the budget agreement and restored
earlier this year left the Department with an additional hole of $500
million for fiscal year 2015, and these savings will need to be paid
for from other Department of Defense accounts.
We must begin that discussion, and I hope that the Military
Compensation and Retirement Modernization Commission will be the start
of that.
We know these are difficult times, and difficult decisions need to be
made to protect and sustain our All-Volunteer Force. It has already
been stated that ignoring these issues will only lead the Department to
take significant cuts to our end strength and readiness.
Despite these concerns though, Mr. Chairman, this bill deserves
passage.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from
Alabama (Mr. Rogers), my friend and colleague, a member of the Armed
Services Committee and the chairman of the Strategic Forces
Subcommittee.
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Chairman, I rise today in support of the
Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year 2015.
This is an important annual bill, not just because, as you have
heard, it is the 53rd in a row; it is what is in the bill for our men
and women in uniform and our national security that counts.
For example, we fully support the Israeli Cooperative programs,
including Iron Dome, while also continuing to make progress on U.S.-
based coproduction to strengthen our ally, Israel.
We include increased resources for our GMD system, which is our only
homeland missile defense capability.
We support critical nuclear weapons capabilities, including programs
the President promised to support as a part of the deal to ratify the
New START treaty, which are $2 billion short of what was promised with
several key programs years behind schedule.
We have initiated in this bill the development of a competitively
sourced next-generation rocket engine. We will not permit the
kleptocrats in charge of Russia to hold our national security space
programs hostage. It is past time that we reinvigorate our rocket motor
industrial base.
I am pleased that we also are able to begin a pilot program for a new
and more commonsense public-private partnership acquisition approach
for the procurement of commercial satellite communication services.
We also begin the same public-private partnership process to deal
with the scores of obsolete, decrepit, nonnuclear facilities in the
NNSA.
Mr. Chairman, in taking a look at the amendments that were filed with
the Rules Committee, it is clear to me that plenty of our colleagues
are not happy with the tough choices made by the 2-year budget deal
reached last year, and I join them.
As we debate these amendments over the next couple of days, I think
Members will see what those of us on the Armed Services Committee have
been warning for about a year. There are no more easy choices. We are
not just cutting into the muscle and bone; we are amputating vital
limbs.
I have a warning for every Member of this body. If you think the
choices that we made were tough this year, wait till next year, when
sequestration returns.
I wish to thank the ranking member, the gentleman, and my friend from
Tennessee, for his outstanding leadership on this subcommittee.
I wish to thank Chairman McKeon for all he has done over his long
career for the men and women of our armed services. They may never know
all he has done for them, but I know. If he had to do it here again, he
would.
Mr. Chairman, I thank you for your service, and I look forward to
working with you to see that the Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon National
Defense Authorization Act is signed into law later this year.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I now yield 2 minutes to the
gentlewoman from Massachusetts (Ms. Tsongas), the ranking member of the
Oversight and Investigation Subcommittee.
Ms. TSONGAS. Mr. Chairman, I rise in support of H.R. 4435. I want to
begin by thanking Chairman McKeon for his decades of service in the
House and for his evenhanded tenure leading the Armed Services
Committee.
I also want to thank Ranking Member Smith for his leadership and his
willingness to address the tough issues that face the United States
military.
This year's NDAA takes further necessary steps toward eliminating
sexual assault in our military ranks. I appreciate the efforts of
Congressman Wilson and Congresswoman Davis to ensure the inclusion of
the FAIR Military Act into this bill.
I would also like to thank my cochair of the Military Sexual Assault
Prevention Caucus and coauthor of the FAIR Military Act, Congressman
Mike Turner.
The fiscal year '15 NDAA ensures servicemembers at all levels are
held
[[Page H4547]]
to the highest standard, and no more will the so-called ``good soldier
defense'' allow criminal behavior to go unpunished and prevent justice
from prevailing.
This NDAA also makes strides toward addressing the epidemic of
suicide surrounding our military. It requires the Department of Defense
to establish a system to track all suicides and attempted suicides for
Active Duty, Reserves, and Guard servicemembers, as well as military
family members, so that we can better understand the full scope of this
tragedy.
I would also like to highlight the important work that his bill does
with regard to research and development. In this era of increasingly
capable enemies and constrained budgets, the DOD must rapidly take
advantage of technological advancements and deliver these capabilities
to the field.
Key provisions in the NDAA will enhance the DOD's ability to recruit
and retain the Nation's best talent, talent needed to develop the
resources that are key to keeping servicemembers safe and successful
around the globe.
Similarly, I was encouraged that this bill incorporates language
creating opportunities for investment in critical R&D programs like the
Combat Feeding program at Natick Soldier Systems. This center finds
ways to make sure our servicemembers are fed and fed well in some of
the world's most unforgiving climates.
Finally, I would like to thank the committee staff who worked closely
with all of our staffs to include these important provisions in the
bill.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from
Virginia (Mr. Wittman), my friend and colleague, a member of the Armed
Services Committee and the chairman of the Readiness Subcommittee.
Mr. WITTMAN. Mr. Chairman, and Ranking Member Smith, thank you so
much for your leadership in leading this bill to the floor.
I rise in support of the Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense
Authorization Act, which provides funding for ongoing operations in
Afghanistan and, most critically, for our men and women on the front
lines, where they continue to fight and die on our behalf each and
every day.
No one in this Chamber should forget that most of the decisions we
make impact them first and foremost. It is our constitutional
responsibility and should be our highest priority to ensure that they
have the training and equipment they need to do their missions and come
home safely. We must be committed to ensuring that our force is always
ready to respond if a crisis arises.
This bill attempts to limit operational risk, while also balancing
present and future readiness requirements with an unrealistic and
ultimately damaging topline.
When we legislate to an arbitrary budget number rather than to a
national security strategy, we inevitably make ill-advised choices that
impact our capacity and capability to respond to global threats, such
as the crisis in Ukraine, an emboldened and increasingly aggressive
Russia, an increasingly aggressive China, and growing tensions in the
Asia Pacific.
If circumstances demand that we call up our forces to respond at this
point in time, our military options would be limited.
That is why I strongly oppose BRAC at this time. We just don't have
the money to fund it, and we have higher priorities that directly
impact the safety of our troops, and every effort and every dollar must
be focused on them.
This means funding the Marine Corps Air-Ground Task Forces, or
MAGTAFs, in SOUTHCOM and CENTCOM, which are needed to secure embassy
and military installations across the globe, a requirement made clear
after the terrorist attack at Benghazi; funding flying hour programs,
training, and depot maintenance across the services; ensuring robust
steaming days critical to fleet training; and restoring CVN-73 funding
to retain its viability as a fleet asset.
These fixes, of course, don't alleviate my concerns about readiness
shortfalls or risk to our warfighters. We here in Washington need to do
all we can to decrease such risks.
We ask a lot of our men and women who serve. We must not ask them to
go into a fight without the training and equipment they need to
succeed.
When I took my oath of office to serve in Congress, I swore that I
would abide by the principles laid out in the Constitution to ensure a
robust national defense. While I believe this bill reflects that
commitment, we cannot lose sight of the fact that FY16 is ominously
looming, and sequestration remains the law of the land.
The short-term and often shortsighted choices we have been forced to
make will only exacerbate our readiness levels.
We must continue to focus on restoring the readiness lost as a result
of sequestration, but the fact remains that the national security
requirements, as outlined in the defense strategy, far exceed the
budget.
I remain deeply concerned about the overall readiness of our force,
not just the men and women that are fighting in Afghanistan, but those
stationed around the globe. We must ensure they are properly trained,
equipped, and prepared to meet the challenges on the horizon with
overwhelming strength and superiority.
It is time to fix sequestration and start budgeting to meet our
defense strategy, not a senseless and arbitrary budget number.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the
gentleman from California (Mr. Garamendi), a member of the committee.
Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Chairman, congratulations to the chair of the
committee and the ranking member for putting together a unanimous
bipartisan bill. There is much to say in this bill that is good, and I
would like to say about two things. One, the ISR capabilities of the
military, particularly the Air Force, are maintained in this bill. The
U-2 and the Global Hawk will continue to operate and provide critical
intelligence to our military, operating now in the Sahel of Africa,
chasing off Boko Haram.
This bill also provides us with the continuability to get to where we
need to go. The KC-10 will remain in the force for the foreseeable
future, until it is fully replaced by the KC-46s.
All of this is good. You need to know what is going on around the
world, and you need to be able to get there, and this bill provides for
that.
However, there are issues in this bill that we need to spend some
time working on. It has been some 20 years since we have taken a hard
look at the nuclear triad, an extraordinarily expensive and
extraordinarily dangerous part of our military apparatus.
We are talking nuclear weapons here and the triad--the bombers, the
ICBMs, and the submarines.
{time} 2015
How do they fit? What do we need? How much do we really need to spend
upon them?
Also, the nuclear weapons that go with them. The rebuilding of our
nuclear weapons is a 20- to 30-year process, and we are talking about
tens of billions of dollars. Too much? Enough? Maybe. Too much?
Probably.
We also have to dispose of some 43 tons of unnecessary plutonium. How
is that going to be done at the Savannah facility? There is money in
this budget to continue a dead-end process. We ought to take a new look
at that. And there will be amendments that will be proposed.
And finally, the big elephant in the room. We are talking about
Afghanistan. $74 billion in this bill not debated, not discussed. We
must do that. It is our obligation as Members of the House of
Representatives and the representatives of the people of the United
States to talk about what we are going to do in Afghanistan, and that
needs to be done.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from
Nevada, Dr. Heck, my friend and colleague, who is a member of the Armed
Services Committee and is the chairman of the Oversight and
Investigations Subcommittee.
Mr. HECK of Nevada. Mr. Chairman, I rise to thank the committee
chairman, the gentleman from California, for his years of service to
the Nation, this body, and for his mentorship, and also to voice my
strong support for H.R. 4435, the National Defense Authorization Act of
2014.
The bill under consideration is the result of an open process that
truly reflects the bipartisan nature of the
[[Page H4548]]
House Armed Services Committee and the bipartisan support of our
military men and women.
Although fiscal realities and constrained resources have forced us to
make difficult trade-offs, the committee maintained its commitment to
those currently serving in uniform as well as to our veterans and their
families.
In last year's NDAA, Congress established the Military Compensation
and Retirement Commission to evaluate and analyze potential reforms to
pay and benefits. This report, expected to be delivered in February of
2015, will inform the debate on the future of military and retiree
compensation. As such, I am pleased that this bill rejects the
Department's request to cut the pay and benefits of our troops, which
would have included significant reforms to TRICARE and cuts to housing
and commissary benefits.
Any attempts to change pay and benefits before Congress receives the
commission's report are premature and ill-advised, and I applaud the
committee for rejecting these proposals and for remaining steadfast in
its support of our servicemembers, our veterans, and their families.
Mr. Chairman, H.R. 4435 also acknowledges the work that the Armed
Services Committee has completed over the last year to address some of
the deficiencies made evident by the tragedy in Benghazi. The
Department of Defense has determined that being prepared for an
uncertain, volatile, complex, and ambiguous security environment,
especially at remote diplomatic outposts, is the new normal that
confronts our Nation. This bill expresses concern that U.S. Africa
Command does not have sufficient assigned military forces, including
specialized military capabilities, which this new normal requires.
As such, this legislation requires the Secretary of Defense, in
consultation with the Secretary of State and the Chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, to submit a report on how this evolving security
environment has changed AFRICOM's force posture and force structure
requirements. This provision will help ensure that AFRICOM receives the
resources it needs to protect posts in high-risk, high-threat areas and
the capability to respond to future crises.
Mr. Chairman, H.R. 4435 is an important bill that strikes the
appropriate balance between priorities in a fiscally constrained
environment. I urge my colleagues to support the Howard P. ``Buck''
McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the
gentleman from Texas (Mr. Gallego), a member of the committee.
Mr. GALLEGO. Mr. Chairman, I, too, would like to thank Chairman
McKeon and Ranking Member Smith for their leadership. I am glad to have
had the opportunity to work with and learn from each of them, and I
certainly wish the chairman well in his future endeavors.
This legislation marks more than 50 years of bipartisan agreements on
national defense. Not many committees in the U.S. Congress can say
that. As a new Member, I am proud to be part of that tradition.
However, the bill only buys us a little time. Unless Congress
provides relief from sequestration, next year's decisions will be
exponentially more difficult. Yet we must do everything to be sure that
our sons and daughters have what they need to be successful and safe,
both at home and abroad. That means training or weapons or materials or
supplies or equipment or machinery. Our sons and our daughters deserve
the very best.
Texas is extremely proud of its connection to our military. Important
installations like Fort Bliss, Laughlin Air Force Base, and Joint Base
San Antonio are core parts of our economy and our communities. Texas is
home to many of our warfighters--soldiers, sailors, airmen, and
marines--and both the civilian and military personnel who support them.
I, too, am proud to support our men and women in uniform. Thus, I
urge all of my colleagues to support this bill and, like today, work in
a bipartisan fashion that ends sequestration tomorrow, and from here on
out, work in that same bipartisan fashion.
May God's blessings be upon all the men and women in uniform who are
impacted by this bill and their families.
I want to thank Chairman McKeon and Ranking Member Smith. It was a
pleasure working with them both on this bill.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentlelady from
Indiana (Mrs. Walorski), my friend and colleague, who is a member of
the Armed Services Committee.
Mrs. WALORSKI. Mr. Chairman, we have the strongest and best military
in the world.
Thanks to the hard work of Chairman McKeon and Ranking Member Smith,
this year's defense bill works within budgetary constraints to ensure
that our military continues to have the best people, the best training,
and the best hardware. This bill guards against irresponsible cuts to
pay and benefits. It improves readiness, and it provides our men and
women in uniform with the vital aircraft, ships, and ground vehicles
they need to fight and win today's increasingly complex battle space.
We also included several bipartisan commonsense provisions that build
on our important work last year to combat military sexual assault.
We hold Russia accountable for its aggression against Ukraine and its
treaty violations.
Finally, we lay the groundwork for a comprehensive defense reform
effort, including finding ways to stretch the taxpayer dollars for the
defense of this Nation.
I urge my colleagues to support this bill.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself the balance of
my time.
I just want to again thank the chairman for his leadership and thank
all of the folks who have done so much hard work in pulling this bill
together.
I will make two other quick points. One, to sort of reemphasize, we
have heard a couple of times that this bill makes the tough choices. I
can't see one at this point. You know, we have sort of dodged and
bobbed and weaved. Some of that I actually support. Some of it made
sense.
One of the issues that we have to wrestle with on the committee is
how do we preserve the industrial base? When you are talking about
making submarines or tanks or jet fighters, if you don't keep making
them, you can't say, well, we are going to shut it down for 3 years and
then we are going to start making them again, because that workforce is
gone, the plants are gone. Those decisions do have to be made.
I just think at this point, on balance, in this instance, every
single hard choice that the administration laid out on compensation--I
know health care is difficult. I think that the men and women who serve
in our military should have the best health care while they are serving
and after of anyone in this country, and they will. But there is an
important statistic.
In 1996, your average servicemember paid 27 percent of the cost of
his or her health care. This year, that number is 10 percent. Why?
Because health care costs went through the ceiling, but we didn't raise
a single penny in costs for anyone serving in the military. Is that
sustainable?
They also make cuts in some of the subsidies for the commissaries,
subsidies for housing. They looked for places where they could save
some money. Again, no BRAC. Again, the A-10 we keep. The ships we keep.
I understand those decisions, but they are building up an awful
bellwether.
And the final thing I will say is that I will again bring my
amendment on closing Guantanamo Bay. The one thing we are slowly
learning is that as we, fortunately, get fewer and fewer inmates in
Guantanamo, it becomes more and more expensive to maintain what was
supposed to be a temporary facility. Aside from all the arguments about
how the international community feels about Guantanamo, arguments that
President George W. Bush made when he said he supported closing
Guantanamo, it is the sheer cost of maintaining that prison in such an
obscure place. So I will again offer that amendment, and again we will
have a robust debate on it.
But the one point I want to make on that amendment--we have heard
people say, well, gosh, we can't release these people in the United
States. We are not
[[Page H4549]]
going to release them in the United States. We are going to lock them
up, as we currently lock up over 300 terrorists, countless mass
murderers, and some of the worst, most violent people this country
knows. They are locked up in secure facilities. We can do the same with
the dangerous inmates who remain at Guantanamo. But keeping Guantanamo
open is not intelligent, both in terms of cost and in terms of our
standing in the international community.
With that, I look forward to seeing how many of those 320 amendments
the Rules Committee is going to throw at us, and I look forward to a
robust debate starting this evening into the next couple of days.
I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. McKEON. I yield myself the balance of my time.
Mr. Chairman, this has been a great opportunity for an American to
serve his community, to be able to come to the Capitol of this great
land and serve in the House of Representatives. It is something I had
never, ever contemplated growing up. It is something I never had
thought about. But it has been a tremendous education and a tremendous
opportunity to serve. It has been a tremendous opportunity to meet some
really good people.
You know, I have heard from the polls that the Congress has a rating
of like 13 percent. That may be a little high. It may be lower than
that. I heard somebody say that our rating was so low that it is just
basically family and staff, and then after we cut the staff's health
care, that it probably was just down to family. Fortunately, I have a
large family.
But I have mentioned to members of this committee--and those who are
probably watching tonight have seen members of the committee that have
talked about this bill that we have been working on, and I hope that
they have felt of their strength, of their commitment, of their desire
to do the things that their constituents sent them here to do.
I told members of the committee recently that if people at home could
sit in on the markup, if they could sit in on some of the discussions
that members of the committee have had, I think our ratings would
probably be much higher, because these things that we grapple with
aren't easy. They are not simple ``yes'' and ``no'' answers to the
things that we deal with.
For instance, I know many of us a couple of years ago voted for the
Budget Control Act, which brought us sequestration. It also kept the
government open, because that was one of the parts of the vote. If we
had voted against it, the government would have been shut down. I think
it was a bad choice that we had to make, but I was assured that
sequestration would never happen. Well, we found out it happened, and
it is causing us a lot of problems with our national defense.
You know, the beauty of being able to serve on this committee is we
get to serve with men and women who really sacrifice much. The men and
women and their families sacrifice much to look out for our interests
both at home and abroad, and I want to thank them.
I want to thank all of the members of the committee. I want to thank
all of our staff for the tremendous work that they do. They spent hours
last night just going through these amendments, and they have been
there constantly. They are all people of great expertise and great
understanding of the issues that we face.
With that, Mr. Chairman, I would like to ask all of my colleagues to
follow this debate closely and support this bill as we come to final
passage.
With that, I yield back the balance of my time.
Mrs. MILLER of Michigan. Mr. Chair, earlier this year, President
Obama released his 2015 budget proposal that makes another attempt to
eliminate the entire A-10 fleet, which is the most effective weapons
system used to protect our combat forces on the ground. I know how
effective the A-10s have been in support of our troops because the
107th Fighter Squadron of the Michigan Air National Guard fly A-10s out
of Selfridge Air National Guard Base in my district.
This is not the first time that the Administration has attempted to
eliminate the A-10s from the inventory. In 2012, the defense budget
submitted by the Administration also included a proposal to retire
several A10 units, particularly those flown by the Air Guard, without
an acceptable alternative to provide the critical ground support
mission. That proposal was beaten back by those of us who realize the
value of the Warthog and, more importantly, by those who rely on its
protection.
Two weeks ago, when testifying before the Senate Armed Services
Committee, U.S. Army Chief of Staff Gen. Raymond Odierno told members
of the committee that our ground troops ``believe'' in the A-10
``Warthog'' and have confidence in its ability, above any other
aircraft, to protect them in combat.
Throughout this debate, Members of the Senate and the House have
reiterated their opposition to the proposed divestment by highlighting
the cost efficiency of the A-10, which costs an estimated $17,000 per
hour to operate compared to one of its proposed replacements, the B-1,
which costs $54,000 per hour to fly, and most importantly, the support
of those engaged in combat on the ground.
I am very pleased that during the House Armed Services Committee
markup of the bill we are considering today, a bipartisan majority of
that committee reaffirmed the importance of these aircraft with the
adoption of an amendment that will preserve the fleet through 2015.
Our unwavering support for the A-10 is not based on a perceived
reluctance to cut anything military, it is based on facts, the cost
effective nature of these aircraft and the strong support of our
soldiers who depend on the close air support provided by the Warthog.
I hear it time and time again from our troops who have served in
combat in defense of freedom as well as those that operate A-10s out of
Selfridge. They all agree that it is the most dependable aircraft. They
use words like ``proven, effective and reliable'' to describe it. They
say that it is the only weapon system that can do what it does, and
what it does, is protect them in combat.
Our troops put their lives in harm's way for our liberty, and we need
to make sure we do everything possible to protect them in battle. I am
glad that today a bi-partisan majority in the House agreed with me and
so many across this nation about the importance of the A-10 to our
national defense. It is my firm hope that the Senate will join us and
pass similar protections as this process moves forward.

WITHIN UNITED STATES PACIFIC COMMAND AREA OF
RESPONSIBILITY.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Reliable access to military training ranges is an
essential component of military readiness.
(2) The training opportunities provided by military
training ranges are critical to maintaining the technical and
operational superiority of the Armed Forces.
(3) The 2014 Quadrennial Defense Review states that the
operational readiness of the Armed Forces hinges on unimpeded
access to land, air, and sea training and test space.
(4) The 2014 Quadrennial Defense Review states that United
States forces in the Asia-Pacific region ``will resume
regular bilateral and multilateral training exercises, pursue
increased training opportunities to improve capabilities and
capacity of partner nations, as well as support humanitarian,
disaster relief, counterterrorism, and other operations that
contribute to the stability of the region''.
(5) A number of critical military training ranges,
including the Pohakuloa Training Center in Hawaii, are
located within the United States Pacific Command area of
responsibility providing units from all the military
services, as well as allied and partner militaries with
realistic joint and combined arms training opportunities.
(6) Due to the ``tyranny of distance'' in the Asia-Pacific
region, there are significant challenges in transporting
equipment and personnel to the various military training
ranges within the United States Pacific Command area of
responsibility.
(7) The Department of Defense continues a number of efforts
aimed at preserving military training ranges, while also
minimizing the environmental effects of training activities.
(8) The Department of Defense has a variety of authorities
that may be used to mitigate encroachment on military testing
and training missions.
(b) Sense of Congress.--In light of the findings specified
in subsection (a), it is the sense of Congress that the
Secretary of Defense should--
(1) ensure that members of the Armed Forces continue to
have reliable access to military training ranges;
(2) optimize the use of multilateral, joint training
facilities overseas in order to increase readiness and
interoperability with allies and partners of the United
States;
(3) utilize a full range of assets, including both air- and
sea-based assets, including inactive Joint High Speed
Vessels, to improve accessibility to military training areas
within the United States Pacific Command area of
responsibility;
(4) provide stable budget authority for long-term
investments in range and test center infrastructure to lower
the cost of access to the ranges and training centers;
(5) take appropriate action to identify and leverage
existing authorities and programs, as well as work with State
and municipalities to leverage their authorities, to mitigate
encroachment or other challenges that have the potential to
impact future access or operations on military training
ranges;
(6) maximize the use of the United States Pacific Command

security of the United States.
(2) Over the past decade, a ``balloon effect'' has pushed
increased violence and instability into Central America and
Mexico from South America.
(3) Drug cartels and transnational criminal organizations
have spread throughout the region, causing instability and
lack of rule of law in many nations.
(4) Illicit networks are used in a variety of illegal
activities including the movement of narcotics, humans,
weapons, and money.
(5) According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and
Crime, Honduras has the highest murder rate in the world with
92 murders per 100,000 people.
(6) Currently, Mexico is working to reduce violence created
by transnational criminal organizations and address issues
spurred by the emergence of internal self defense groups.
(7) United States Northern Command and United States
Southern Command lead the efforts of the Department of
Defense in combating illicit networking in Mexico and Central
America.

trains, educates, and equips vetted troops in Mexico and many
of the nations of Central America to build their militaries
and police forces, with an emphasis on human rights and
building partnership capacity.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--

combating illicit networking routes in Mexico and Central
America;
(2) United States Northern Command and United States
Southern Command should continue to work together to combat
the transnational nature of these threats; and

SEC. 1025. SENSE OF CONGRESS RECOGNIZING THE ANNIVERSARY OF
THE SINKING OF U.S.S. THRESHER.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) U.S.S. Thresher was first launched at Portsmouth Naval
Shipyard on July 9, 1960.
(2) U.S.S. Thresher departed Portsmouth Naval Shipyard for
her final voyage on April 9, 1963, with a crew of 16
officers, 96 sailors, and 17 civilians.
(3) The mix of that crew reflects the unity of the naval
submarine service, military and civilian, in the protection
of the United States.
(4) At approximately 7:47 a.m. on April 10, 1963, while in
communication with the surface ship U.S.S. Skylark, and
approximately 220 miles off the coast of New England, U.S.S.
Thresher began her final descent.
(5) U.S.S. Thresher was declared lost with all hands on
April 10, 1963.
(6) In response to the loss of U.S.S. Thresher, the United
States Navy instituted new regulations to ensure the health
of the submariners and the safety of the submarines of the
United States.
(7) Those regulations led to the establishment of the
Submarine Safety and Quality Assurance program (SUBSAFE), now
one of the most comprehensive military safety programs in the
world.
(8) SUBSAFE has kept the submariners of the United States
safe at sea ever since as the strongest, safest submarine
force in history.
(9) Since the establishment of SUBSAFE, no SUBSAFE-
certified submarine has been lost at sea, which is a legacy
owed to the brave individuals who perished aboard U.S.S.
Thresher.
(10) From the loss of U.S.S. Thresher, there arose in the
institutions of higher education in the United States the
ocean engineering curricula that enables the preeminence of
the United States in submarine warfare.
(11) The crew of U.S.S. Thresher demonstrated the ``last
full measure of devotion'' in service to the United States,
and this devotion characterizes the sacrifices of all
submariners, past and present.
(b) Sense of Congress.--Congress--
(1) recognizes the 51st anniversary of the sinking of
U.S.S. Thresher;
(2) remembers with profound sorrow the loss of U.S.S.
Thresher and her gallant crew of sailors and civilians on
April 10, 1963; and
(3) expresses its deepest gratitude to all submariners on
``eternal patrol'', who are forever bound together by
dedicated and honorable service to the United States of
America.

use Afghanistan as a safe haven from which to launch attacks;

Afghanistan to sign the Bilateral Security Agreement as soon

Agreement with Afghanistan is threatening the gains achieved
by the United States and coalition forces and the United
States' enduring vital national security interests in
Afghanistan and the region;
(7) the President should announce the United States
residual presence for Operation Resolute Support to reassure
the people of Afghanistan and to provide a tangible statement
of support for the future of Afghanistan;
(8) the United States should aggressively work with NATO
and the Government of Afghanistan to achieve a status of
forces agreement for NATO forces in support of the post-2014
mission; and

Elimination of Their Intermediate-Range and Shorter-Range
Missiles, commonly referred to as the Intermediate-Range
Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, signed at Washington December 8,

(2) such behavior poses a threat to the United States, its
deployed forces, and its allies.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the President should hold the Russian Federation
accountable for being in material breach of its obligations
under the INF Treaty;
(2) the President should demand the Russian Federation
completely and verifiably eliminate the military systems that
constitute the material breach of its obligations under the
INF Treaty;
(3) the President should seriously consider not engaging in
further reductions of United States nuclear forces generally
and should seriously consider not engaging in nuclear arms
reduction negotiations with the Russian Federation
specifically until such complete and verifiable elimination
of the military systems has occurred; and
(4) the President, in consultation with United States
allies, should consider whether it is in the national
security interests of the United States to unilaterally
remain a party to the INF Treaty if the Russian Federation is
still in material breach of the INF Treaty beginning one year
after the date of the enactment of this Act.
(c) Report.--Not later than 90 days after the date of the

TOWARD UKRAINE.
It is the sense of the Congress that--
(1) the continuing and long-standing pattern and practice
by the Government of the Russian Federation of physical,
diplomatic, and economic aggression toward neighboring
countries is clearly intended to exert undue influence on the
free will of sovereign nations and peoples to determine their
own future;
(2) the Russian military build-up and aggressive posture on
the eastern border of Ukraine represent a deliberate intent
to intimidate Ukraine and to force its citizens to submit to
Russian control;
(3) the Russian Federation should immediately cease all
improper and illegal activities in Ukraine;
(4) the 1994 Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances,
which was executed jointly with the Russian Federation,
Ukraine, and the United Kingdom, represents a commitment to
respect the independence, sovereignty, and territorial
integrity and borders of Ukraine, and Russian actions clearly
violate the commitment made by the Russian Federation in that
memorandum;
(5) the security cooperation with the Ukrainian military by
the United States military is an important opportunity to
support the continued professionalization of the Ukrainian
military;
(6) an enhanced military presence and readiness posture of
the United States military in Europe is key to deterring
further Russian aggression and assuring allies and partners;
and
(7) the treaty commitments under Article 5 of the North
Atlantic Treaty signed at Washington, April 4, 1949, and
entered into force August 24, 1949, are important and a
cornerstone to international security.

SEC. 1247. REQUIREMENT OF DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE TO CONTINUE
IMPLEMENTATION OF UNITED STATES STRATEGY TO
PREVENT AND RESPOND TO GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE
GLOBALLY AND PARTICIPATION IN INTERAGENCY
WORKING GROUP.
(a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the most dangerous places to be a woman are some of the
most unstable and violent regions in the world and gender-
based violence will impact one in three women worldwide and
this in turn has a direct impact on United States national
security, the stability of nations, the rule of law,
democracy, and peace-building processes;
(2) combating violence against women and girls through the
implementation and integration of gender-based violence
prevention and response mechanisms throughout United States
overseas operations is a critical step toward promoting
regional and global stability and achieving sustainable peace
and security;
(3) under the Joint Explanatory Statement of the Committee
of Conference accompanying the Department of State, Foreign
Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2012
(H.R. 2055, One Hundred Twelfth Congress), the Secretary of
State and the Administrator of the United States Agency for
International Development were directed in the matter
relating to section 7061 to submit to Congress a multi-year
strategy to prevent and respond to violence against women and
girls in countries where it is common through achievable and
sustainable goals, benchmarks for measuring progress, and
expected results, including through regular engagement with
men and boys as community leaders and advocates in ending
such violence;
(4) Executive Order 13623 of August 10, 2012 (77 Fed. Reg.
49345) established the United States Strategy to Prevent and
Respond to Gender-based Violence Globally (in this section
referred to as the ``Strategy''), the first such strategy
submitted pursuant to the matter relating to section 7061
under the Joint Explanatory Statement of the Committee of
Conference accompanying the Department of State, Foreign
Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2012;
(5) Executive Order 13623 required the Department of
Defense to participate in an Interagency Working Group co-
chaired by the Department of State and the United States
Agency for International Development to implement the
Strategy; and
(6) since the authority for the Strategy was established
initially in the matter relating to section 7061 under the
Joint Explanatory Statement of the Committee of Conference
accompanying the Department of State, Foreign Operations, and
Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2012, it is important
for Congress to maintain its appropriate oversight over the
implementation of the Strategy.
(b) Briefings Required.--
(1) In general.--Not later than 180 days after the date of
the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall
brief the appropriate congressional committees on efforts of
the Department of Defense relating to participation in the
Interagency Working Group to implement the Strategy.
(2) Matters to be included.--As part of the briefings, the
Secretary shall describe specifically efforts of the
Department of Defense in the Interagency Working Group to
implement international violence against women and girls
prevention and response strategies, funding allocations,
programming, and associated outcomes.

subsection, the term ``appropriate congressional committees''
means--

Foreign Relations of the Senate; and

Participation in Interagency Working Group.--The Secretary of
Defense shall ensure that the Department of Defense--
(1) during the current period of the Strategy, continues to
implement the Strategy as appropriate by reason of the role
of the Department of Defense in the Interagency Working
Group; and
(2) continues to participate in interagency collaborative
efforts to prevent and respond to violence against women and
girls.

international financial and trading systems via legal and
licit activities and use such market activities to fund and
equip themselves and advance their interests.
(2) There is a lack of capability within the Department of
Defense to formulate policy options within the interagency
process, or for consideration within the Department,
concerning whether state and non-state adversaries and
potential adversaries have key vulnerabilities associated
with their positioning within the global economic and
financial systems.
(3) The Department of Defense would benefit from having
enhanced situational awareness regarding the commercial and
strategic interactions of state and non-state adversaries and
potential adversaries within the global economic and
financial systems and integrating relevant findings into
defense policy options, deterrence strategy, planning and
preparedness.
(4) The state-owned enterprises and sovereign wealth funds
of adversaries and potential adversaries represent, in some
cases, strategic tools of their controlling governments and
their global operations and therefore warrant increased
scrutiny and knowledge.
(5) Without improved situational awareness of the business
transactions and financial activities of state and non-state
adversaries and potential adversaries, as well as entities
they own and control, current efforts and deterrence
strategies will continue to represent an underdeveloped
defense requirement that lacks strategic direction.
(b) Enhanced Situational Awareness Required.--The Secretary
of Defense shall take such steps as may be necessary to
improve--
(1) the situational awareness capabilities of the
Department of Defense regarding the legal and licit business
transactions and global market positioning of adversaries and
potential adversaries; and
(2) the ability of the Department to translate such
situational awareness into the intelligence, planning,
deterrence, and capabilities and strategies of the
Department.

SEC. 1264. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON UNITED STATES PRESENCE AND
COOPERATION IN THE ARABIAN GULF REGION TO DETER

and partners in the Arabian Gulf region, including Gulf
Cooperation Council (GCC) countries and Israel, and to deter
Iran;
(2) the United States should seek ways to support the
security posture of GCC countries in the Arabian Gulf region
to deter Iran;

region that are used to deter Iran and would be used for any
military operations in the Arabian Gulf region are entirely

nuclear program does not address key aspects of Iran's

address past and present issues of concern of the United
States, the International Atomic Energy Agency, and the
United Nations Security Council;
(8) the United States should continue to put significant
pressure on Iran's network of organizations that conduct
malign activities in the Arabian Gulf region, and around the
globe, even while the United States engages in negotiations
with Iran relating to Iran's nuclear program;
(9) the United States Government should not enter into a
contract with any person or entity that is determined to have
violated United States sanctions laws with respect to
contracting with the Government of Iran and should encourage
United States allies, partners, and other countries to
maintain the same contracting standard; and
(10) a comprehensive agreement with Iran relating to Iran's
efforts to develop or acquire a nuclear weapons capability
should be agreed to by the United States only if--
(A) Iran ceases the enrichment of uranium;

development of, and has verifiably dismantled its nuclear,
biological, and chemical weapons and ballistic missiles and
ballistic missile launch technology; and
(C) the Government of Iran has ceased providing support for

SEC. 1265. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON MODERNIZATION OF DEFENSE
CAPABILITIES OF POLAND.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) The efforts of Poland to modernize its defense
capabilities and restructure its armed forces have the
potential not only to enhance the national security of Poland
but also to strengthen the North Atlantic Treaty Organization
(NATO).
(2) The main priority of Poland with respect to such
efforts is to procure anti-aircraft and missile defense
systems.
(3) At a time when most NATO allies are cutting defense
spending, Poland has maintained a steady defense budget and
is making significant investment in procurement of new
defense systems.
(4) The United States should recognize the efforts of
Poland to modernize its defense capabilities and restructure
its armed forces and promote such efforts as a positive
example for other NATO allies to follow.
(5) The United States has enjoyed a close cultural,
economic, political, and military relationship with Poland
for many years and the efforts of Poland to modernize its
defense capabilities and restructure its armed forces provide
opportunities for the two countries to work together even
more closely.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the President should seek to work with Poland to ensure
that, as part of the efforts of Poland to modernize its
defense capabilities and restructure its armed forces--
(A) Poland, to the maximum extent practicable, procures
defense systems that are interoperable with NATO defense
systems and will help fill critical NATO shortfalls; and
(B) Poland, to the maximum extent practicable and to the
extent not inconsistent with the provisions of subparagraph
(A), procures United States defense systems that--
(i) will strengthen the bilateral, strategic partnership
between the two countries;
(ii) will provide Poland with proven defense systems
capabilities; and
(iii) promote deeper and closer bilateral cooperation
between the two countries; and
(2) the United States stands ready to assist Poland to

SEC. 3113. COST CONTAINMENT FOR URANIUM CAPABILITIES
REPLACEMENT PROJECT.
(a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the April 2010 Nuclear Posture Review, a February 2011
letter from the President to the Senate, and many other
policy statements and documents have identified the Uranium
Capabilities Replacement Project as a critical nuclear
modernization priority;
(2) the failure of the Department of Energy and the
National Nuclear Security Administration to successfully and
efficiently execute and oversee the Uranium Capabilities
Replacement Project undermines national security and
jeopardizes the long-term credibility of the nuclear
deterrent;
(3) the April 8, 2014, testimony of the Acting
Administrator for Nuclear Security that ``close to half'' of
the $1,200,000,000 taxpayers have spent on the design of such
project has been wasted is a grievous misuse of limited
taxpayer funds, and the appropriate officials of the Federal
Government and contractors must be held accountable;
(4) the uranium capabilities and modern infrastructure that
are to be provided by all three phases of the Uranium
Capabilities Replacement Project are critical to national
security and Congress fully supports efforts to deliver all
of these capabilities efficiently and expeditiously;
(5) focused attention and robust leadership from the
highest levels of the executive branch and Congress are
required to ensure that such project delivers such critical
national security capabilities; and
(6) the Secretary of Energy and the Administrator for
Nuclear Security must ensure that lines of responsibility,
authority, and accountability for such project are clear
going forward.
(b) Cost and Oversight of Project.--Section 3123 of the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013
(Public Law 112-239; 126 Stat. 2178), as amended by section
3126 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year 2014 (Public Law 113-66; 127 Stat. 1063), is amended--

``(d) Cost of Phase I.--
``(1) Limitation.--The total cost of Phase I under
subsection (a) of the project referred to in such subsection
may not exceed $4,200,000,000.
``(2) Adjustment.--If the Secretary determines the total
cost of Phase I will exceed the amount set forth in paragraph
(1), the Secretary may adjust such amount if, by not later
than March 1, 2015, the Secretary submits to the
congressional defense committees a detailed justification for
such adjustment, including--
``(A) the amount of the adjustment and the proposed total
cost of Phase I;
``(B) a detailed justification for such adjustment,
including a description of the changes that would be required
to the project referred to in subsection (a) if Phase I were
to not exceed the total cost set forth in paragraph (1);
``(C) a detailed description of the actions taken to hold
appropriate contractors, employees of contractors, and
employees of the Federal Government accountable for the
repeated failures within the project;
``(D) a description of the clear lines of responsibility,
authority, and accountability for the project as the project
continues, including descriptions of the roles and
responsibilities for each key Federal and contractor
position; and
``(E) a detailed description of the structural reforms
planned or implemented by the Secretary to ensure Phase I is
executed on time and on schedule.

year through 2025, the Secretary shall certify in writing to
the congressional defense committees and the Secretary of
Defense that Phase I under subsection (a) of the project
referred to in such subsection will meet--
``(A) the total cost set forth in paragraph (1) (as
adjusted pursuant to paragraph (2) if so adjusted); and
``(B) a schedule that enables, by not later than 2025--
``(i) uranium operations in building 9212 to cease; and
``(ii) uranium operations in a new facility constructed
under such project to begin.
``(4) Report.--If the Secretary of Energy does not make a
certification by March 1 of any year in which a certification
is required under paragraph (3), by not later than May 1 of
such year, the Chairman of the Nuclear Weapons Council shall
submit to the congressional defense committees a report that
identifies the resources of the Department of Energy that the
Chairman determines should be redirected to enable the
Department of Energy to meet the total cost and schedule
described in subparagraphs (A) and (B) of such paragraph.'';
(2) in subsection (e), by adding at the end the following
new paragraph:
``(3) Report.--Not later than March 1, 2015, the Secretary
of Energy and the Secretary of the Navy shall jointly submit
to the congressional defense committees a report detailing
the implementation of paragraphs (1) and (2), including--

SEC. 3114. PLUTONIUM PIT PRODUCTION CAPACITY.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) In 2008, the Department of Defense and the Department
of Energy, acting through the Nuclear Weapons Council
established by section 179 of title 10, United States Code,
agreed on a strategy to balance cost, risk, and stockpile
needs and established the requirement for the Department of
Energy to produce 50 to 80 plutonium pits per year.
(2) In a memorandum of agreement dated May 3, 2010, entered
into by the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Energy,
the Secretaries agreed that the Department of Energy would
achieve a minimum pit production capacity of 50 to 80 pits
per year by 2022.
(3) The current plans of the Secretary of Energy would
achieve a pit production capacity of 50 to 80 pits per year
by 2031, resulting in a delay of nearly a decade as compared
to the agreement described in paragraph (2).
(4) In a report dated January 14, 2014, that the Secretary
of Defense submitted to Congress, the Secretary stated that
``the Department of Defense has revalidated its requirement
for 50 - 80 pits per year based on the demands of stockpile
modernization, the commitments to a modern physical
infrastructure, and the ability to hedge against technical
failure or geopolitical risk.''.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the requirement to create a modern, responsive nuclear
infrastructure that includes the capability and capacity to
produce, at minimum, 50 to 80 pits per year, is a national
security priority;
(2) delaying creation of a modern, responsive nuclear
infrastructure until the 2030s is an unacceptable risk to the
nuclear deterrent and the national security of the United
States; and
(3) timelines for creating certain capacities for
production of plutonium pits and other nuclear weapons
components must be driven by the requirement to hedge against
technical and geopolitical risk and not solely by the needs
of life extension programs.
(c) Pit Production.--
(1) In general.--Title XLII of the Atomic Energy Defense
Act (50 U.S.C. 2521 et seq.) is amended by inserting after
the item relating to section 4218 the following new section:
``SEC. 4219. PLUTONIUM PIT PRODUCTION CAPACITY.
``(a) Requirement.--Consistent with the requirements of the
Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of Energy shall ensure
that the nuclear security enterprise--
``(1) during 2023, produces not less than 30 war reserve
plutonium pits;
``(2) during 2026, produces not less than 50 war reserve
plutonium pits; and
``(3) during a pilot period of not less than 90 days during
2027, demonstrates the capability to produce war reserve
plutonium pits at a rate sufficient to produce 80 pits per
year.
``(b) Annual Certification.--Not later than March 1, 2015,
and each year thereafter through 2027, the Secretary shall
certify to the congressional defense committees and the
Secretary of Defense that the programs and budget of the
Secretary will enable the nuclear security enterprise to meet
the requirements under subsection (a).
``(c) Plan.--If the Secretary does not make a certification
by March 1 of any year in which a certification is required
under subsection (b), by not later than May 1 of such year,
the Chairman of the Nuclear Weapons Council shall submit to
the congressional defense committees a plan to enable the
nuclear security enterprise to meet the requirements under
subsection (b). Such plan shall include identification of the
resources of the Department of Energy that the Chairman
determines should be redirected to support the plan to meet
such requirements.''.
(2) Clerical amendment.--The table of contents for the
Atomic Energy Defense Act is amended by inserting after the
item relating to section 4218 the following new item:
``Sec. 4219. Plutonium pit production capacity.''.
SEC. 3115. DEFINITION OF BASELINE AND THRESHOLD FOR STOCKPILE
LIFE EXTENSION PROJECT.
Section 4713 of the Atomic Energy Defense Act (50 U.S.C.

SEC. 3503. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE ROLE OF DOMESTIC MARITIME
INDUSTRY IN NATIONAL SECURITY.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
(1) the United States domestic maritime industry carries
hundreds of million of tons of cargo annually, supports
nearly 500,000 jobs, and provides nearly 100 billion in
annual economic output;
(2) the Nation's military sealift capacity will benefit
from one of the fastest growing segments of the domestic
trades, 14 domestic trade tankers that are on order to be
constructed at United States shipyards as of February 1,
2014;
(3) the domestic trades' vessel innovations that
transformed worldwide maritime commerce include the
development of containerships, self-unloading vessels,
articulated tug-barges, trailer barges, chemical parcel
tankers, railroad-on-barge carfloats, and river flotilla
towing systems;
(4) the national security benefits of the domestic maritime
industry are unquestioned as the Department of Defense
depends on United States domestic trades' fleet of container
ships, roll-on/roll-off ships, and product tankers to carry
military cargoes;
(5) the Department of Defense benefits from a robust
commercial shipyard and ship repair industry and current
growth in that sector is particularly important as Federal
budget cuts may reduce the number of new constructed military
vessels; and
(6) the domestic fleet is essential to national security
and was a primary source of mariners needed to crew United
States Government-owned sealift vessels activated from
reserve status during Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi
Freedom in the period 2002 through 2010.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that
United States coastwise trade laws promote a strong domestic
trade maritime industry, which supports the national security
and economic vitality of the United States and the efficient
operation of the United States transportation system.

Amendment No. 1 Offered by Mr. Blumenauer
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 1
printed in House Report 113-455.
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 D of title I, add the following new
section:
SEC. 136. PROCUREMENT OF CERTAIN RADARS FOR F-15C/D AIRCRAFT.
(a) In General.--The Secretary of the Air Force shall
procure not fewer than 10 active electronically scanned array
radars for F-15C/D aircraft of the Air National Guard.
(b) Funding.--
(1) Increase.--Notwithstanding the amounts set forth in the
funding tables in division D, the amount authorized to be
appropriated in section 101 for aircraft procurement, Air
Force, as specified in the corresponding funding table in
section 4101, for F-15 APG-63(V)3 upgrades (Line 025) is
hereby increased by $100,000,000.
(2) Offset.--Notwithstanding the amounts set forth in the
funding tables in division D, the amounts authorized to be
appropriated in division C for atomic energy defense
activities, as specified in the corresponding funding table
in section 4701, are reduced for the following purposes
relating to weapons activities by the following amounts:
(A) W76 Life extension program, by $7,900,000.
(B) W88 Alt 370, by $1,200,000.

(F) Plutonium sustainment, by $28,300,000.
(G) Recapitalization, by $39,000,000.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 585, the gentleman
[[Page H4672]]
from Oregon (Mr. Blumenauer) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Oregon.
Mr. BLUMENAUER. Mr. Chairman, as I have been listening to the debate
this evening following the process, I, too, would offer my
congratulations to the chair of the committee and the committee itself
dealing with a very difficult situation. There are lots of pressures.
They are not just faceless special interests, but we are dealing with
businesses, with unions, with the military itself, concerns for their
family, the armed services, and the traditions. All of these things
make for a very complicated situation.
But I relate to something Mr. Smith said a moment ago, the ranking
member, talking about the really hard questions are not really being
addressed. We are sort of pushing them down the road when the
administration and the Pentagon offered them forward.
I am concerned that we have yet to come to grips with the costs of
between a half-trillion and two-thirds of a trillion dollars for our
nuclear capacity over the next 10 years. Well, I am offering tonight an
easy opportunity to deal with something that can make a big difference
to support thousands of brave men and women who make up the Air
National Guard, who have proven themselves, especially over the last 13
years, answering the call of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan. In addition
to protecting the homeland without wavering, they have responded time
and time again when disaster strikes.
But I want to focus on one particular area dealing with the Air Guard
and Reserves' capacity to be able to meet their challenges. My
amendment would call the question of whether the House is ready to make
a modest change in other funding levels to support the Air Guard.
The amendment would authorize the Secretary of the Air Force to
procure 10 Active Electronically Scanned Array radar upgrades for the
Air Guard's F-15 fleet. We have around the country people who are
relying upon a variation of the oldest radars, which are late 1970s
technology that went out of production in 1986. It limits their
capacity to meet even the most basic of threats and has serious
maintenance--not just capacity--but maintenance and operational
problems.
I would like to include for the Record this letter of support from
the National Guard Association of the United States, which shows why
they so strongly support this amendment.
National Guard Association
of the United States,
Washington, DC, May 19, 2014.
Hon. Earl Blumenauer,
Longworth House Office Building,
Washington, DC.
Dear Congressman Blumenauer: On behalf of the members of
the National Guard Association of the United States (NGAUS),
I would like to thank you for introducing an amendment to the
National Defense Authorization Act of 2015 to increase
funding for Air National Guard (ANG) F-15 Active Electronic
Scanned Array (AESA) radar upgrade.
As you may know, the Air Force currently possesses 248 F-
15C/D aircraft worldwide, with the ANG maintaining 130 (52
percent) of those aircraft. Of the 130 F-15 aircraft the ANG
maintains, 74 possess the oldest APG-63v(0) radar system.
This V(0) radar is a mechanically scanned system and has
significant limitations in capability against most threats
across the globe.
Upgrading the F-15 with the APG-63(V)3 AESA radar provides
a significant technological advantage for both homeland
defense and world-wide operations.
Additionally, the V(3) is dramatically easier and cheaper
to maintain due to its sold state electronics. Studies
indicate that the AESA radar generates approximately 800
percent more reliability than the V(0) radar. It also allows
for true and effective multi-track and attack capability and
increased capability against advanced electronic attack and
small radar cross section targets.
Though the President's budget this year provides for $32.5
million for ANG radar upgrades, NGAUS believes additional
funding on top of this request will help to maintain parity
amongst the Combat Air Force's F-15 in the Active and the
National Guard. Considering the Air Force will have to
maintain F-15s for the foreseeable future, we believe it is
paramount to ensure additional upgrades to the ANG fleet.
NGAUS supports your efforts in the House to increase
funding for ANG F-15 AESA radar upgrades.
Thank you for your leadership and strong support on this
issue and of our National Guard.
Sincerely,
Gus Hargett,
Major General, USA, (Ret),
NGAUS President.
Mr. BLUMENAUER. Mr. Chairman, an upgrade for these 10 operating
systems would not only provide significant technological advantage for
both homeland defense and worldwide operation, but it would--and this
is very important--it is actually going to save money over the next 10
years. It is much easier and cheaper than to maintain the current
outmoded radars. A small, upfront investment makes our F-15 fighter
pilots safer and more effective and saves money in the long run.
Looking for offsets is obviously difficult to do, but what we have
done is identify modest reductions in areas that are already far in
excess of what the President has requested. In some cases, they are
even an additional increment above that which has been offered by the
committee in its proposal.
I would hope that the House would approve this modest reduction in
these seven accounts. It is not going to undercut our nuclear
deterrent, but it will make a huge difference for the men and women who
serve in the Air National Guard in terms of their safety, their
effectiveness, and in the long run will save money.
Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to the
amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes.
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself 2 minutes.
Mr. Chairman, this amendment is part of a long running effort to
reduce funding for an already chronically underfunded nuclear
deterrent. Advocates of unilateral U.S. disarmament try unsuccessfully
each year to cut nuclear weapons funding. We see it on the NDAA, we see
it on the appropriations bills, and we see it in stand-alone bills.
For instance, in February, the gentleman from Oregon introduced H.R.
4107, the REIN-IN Act. The bill would devastate our nuclear deterrent
by mandating the following: reducing the number of ICBMs from 450 to
150 and delay development of follow-on systems, cutting the number of
ballistic missile submarines from 12 to eight, delaying development of
the nuclear-capable, long-range bomber, prohibiting the F-35 from being
nuclear capable, and terminating several nuclear infrastructure
modernization construction projects.
The amendment we are considering today is part of the broader effort
that you will see reflected in that bill. It is part of the Disarm-
America agenda that is so dangerous to U.S. nuclear security and our
international stability. Let's call this amendment what it is: a sly
attempt to undercut and undermine our nuclear deterrent by pitting us
against the Air National Guard. It is a unilateral disarmament, and I
stand here in firm opposition.
The offset of this amendment is also bad policy. Over the last 3
years, the Department of Energy's nuclear weapons program is already a
total of $2 billion short of the funding the administration committed
in 2010. The administration committed to this funding to win
ratification of the New START treaty. Now that it is a treaty, it is
unwilling to request the money the nuclear deterrent needs.
We must hold the administration to its commitment, provide the money,
and oppose this amendment. I strongly urge my colleagues to vote ``no''
on this amendment, and I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. BLUMENAUER. May I inquire as to the amount of time I have
remaining?
The Acting CHAIRMAN. The gentleman from Oregon has 1 minute
remaining.
Mr. BLUMENAUER. Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Ohio
(Mr. Turner), my friend and colleague.
Mr. TURNER. I want to join Chairman Rogers in his effort to oppose
this amendment.
Mr. Chair, as we know, this is one of the annual reoccurring
Representative Blumenauer's reductions of nuclear weapons efforts. And
I would support reducing spending on nuclear weapons if we were talking
about Mr. Putin's reducing his funding on nuclear weapons or Russia
reducing their funding on nuclear weapons, which we know they are not
going to do.
So this is a continued unfortunate exercise of discussing unilateral
reductions in the United States' funding its
[[Page H4673]]
nuclear weapon deterrent, which is a dangerous thing to do, especially
as Mr. Putin is continuing his efforts to escalate conflict throughout
the world and also is looking to increase his overall nuclear weapons
capability.
Now, the other thing is, this isn't even needed. The bill already
provides the budget request level of $117.5 million to purchase 17 of
these radars that would be purchased under this amendment, 15 of which
will go to the Air Guard, and it is certainly a prudent and efficient
investment, but, additionally, the HASC bill also funds the National
Guard and Reserve equipment account, which, if the Air Guard really
thought they needed these radars, they could go buy them from that
without turning to our nuclear deterrent.
So why would this be damaging? Well, already, the DOD nuclear
activities are $2 billion short of their 2010 commitment, and our
deferred maintenance across the DOD, the deferred maintenance--stuff
that we need to be fixing that we are not fixing--has a backlog of $3.5
billion, and this amendment would take another $39 million out of that
effort to satisfy that backlog.
This should, as Chairman Rogers said, be seen exactly for what it is,
another effort to unilaterally reduce the nuclear deterrent of the
United States. I think this would be a better focus if it was focused
on Russia, and it certainly does nothing to improve the overall
capability of our Air National Guard. They have all the resources that
they would need.
Mr. BLUMENAUER. It is laughable to say that our Air National Guard
has all the resources they need. It is not true. And I have entered
into the Record argument to the contrary from the people who are
actually administering it.
I am happy to debate our REIN-IN legislation, which would be $100
billion. We have far more than we need and can afford. But what I am
talking about is $100 million for items that are specified that are
modest reductions that aren't going to cripple us and will give the Air
National Guard a modern, updated radar system that makes them safer and
more efficient.
This is an example of the tradeoffs, sadly, that are not part of this
bill that we do need to make. Sooner or later, the day of reckoning
will come. In the meantime, this is a small gesture to help approve the
capacity of the Air National Guard, and I urge its adoption.
I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Chairman, I would like to yield 15 seconds
to the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Turner) to respond.
Mr. TURNER. As Mr. Blumenauer knows, my comment is that they have all
the resources they need to make a decision to purchase these radars.
Everyone knows that this bill is underfunded, and it certainly
underfunded nuclear weapons, and your bill, your amendment would only
further reduce our nuclear weapons capability.
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Texas
(Mr. Thornberry).
Mr. THORNBERRY. I thank the gentleman for yielding.
Mr. Chairman, the centerpiece of our national security is our nuclear
deterrent, and we have neglected it terribly for years, both in the
administration and in Congress, and we have got a lot of catching up to
do.
So as the gentleman from Ohio said and the administration itself
says, we have a $3.5 billion maintenance backlog on our facilities.
Thirty percent of the facilities we are using were built during the
Manhattan Project, and 50 percent of the facilities we are using are
more than 40 years old.
Now, we are fortunate that we have got some engineers and other
highly skilled workers who are willing to work in those conditions, but
they are not going to be willing to work in it forever. And so this
bill doesn't solve that problem by any stretch of the imagination, but
at least this extra $39 billion helps it from getting too much worse.
It takes a step in the right direction.
These nuclear weapons are aging machines, just like the facilities
are aging machines, and they require care and trading out parts if the
people who have to work around them are going to be safe. That is why
it is a mistake to take away from this central element of our facility.
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Chair, 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. 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 Oregon will
be postponed.
{time} 2045
Amendment No. 2 Offered by Mr. Gohmert
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 2
printed in House Report 113-455.
Mr. GOHMERT. 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 V, add the following new
section:
SEC. 5__. AUTHORIZING COMMANDERS TO PERMIT MEMBERS OF THE
ARMED FORCES TO CARRY A FIREARM ON A MILITARY
INSTALLATION.
(a) General Authorization.--Notwithstanding any other
provision of law, regulation, or directive, the Secretary of
Defense shall--
(1) authorize DoD personnel to openly carry a loaded
firearm for the purpose of providing 24-hour security
monitoring in order to ensure the safety of DoD military and
civilian personnel and their dependents who reside on
military installations; or
(2) establish and carry out a procedure to permit qualified
military personnel to openly carry a loaded firearm on a

(b) Commander Control Over Authorization.--Commanders at
all levels will exercise sufficient control over
authorizations involving the carrying of firearms in
accordance with subsection (a).
(c) Security Monitoring Duty Roster Program.--The
authorization described in subsection (a)(1)--
(1) is in addition to other programs that permit DoD

the Secretary of the military department concerned;
(6) is not under the influence of alcohol or another
intoxicating or hallucinatory drug or substance; and
(7) is not prohibited by Federal law from receiving a
firearm.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 585, the gentleman
from Texas (Mr. Gohmert) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Texas.
Mr. GOHMERT. Mr. Chairman, at this time, I yield to the gentleman
from California (Mr. McKeon), the chairman of the committee, for a
colloquy.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I want to thank the gentleman. We just had
a little discussion. The amendment he plans on presenting tonight is
something that we have not in the committee been able to hold hearings
on and to really discuss fully in the committee.
It didn't come up at the full committee or the subcommittee level,
but he has an issue that is very important to him, it is very important
to his State, it is very important to many people around this Nation.
[[Page H4674]]
What I told him is that this is the start of a process. It is a
continuation of a process that we started in January with hearings,
with subcommittee hearings, with subcommittee markups, and full
committee markups, but we are not even halfway through the process yet.
After we pass our bill on the floor, the Senate is marking their bill
up this week, and at some point, they will mark it on the floor, and
then there will be a conference, so there is much to do between now and
the end.
Mr. GOHMERT. Reclaiming my time, my concern has been when we had a
second shooting without the administration having done anything after
the first Fort Hood shooting and then we have a second Fort Hood
shooting 4\1/2\ years later, it made no sense not to do something.
My own feeling was we should just allow all of our military members,
they may be carrying automatic weapons, they may be authorized to shoot
RPGs, drop bombs, all kinds of weapons in a foreign theater, why
shouldn't they be able to carry weapons on military installations here
in the United States?
So my first amendment was simply to just allow every military member
to carry, and then the issue came open or concealed. There are some
commanders that have an issue both ways.
In talking to other commanders, some commanders have said: look,
there are some people overseas we don't let carry weapons, and we know
from experience that some have returned where you have someone
suffering potentially from PTSD that needs to be checked out.
So commanders have encouraged that: gee, if that is going to happen,
we ought to be able to check them out.
Everybody knows nobody stands stronger for Second Amendment rights
than me, but when you are in the military, you do give up certain
rights, including free speech and freedom of assembly; and so it
shouldn't be inappropriate to have someone go through an extra check
before they were allowed to carry.
Then bowing further to current commanders and former commanders like
Jerry Boykin--former Delta Force--thought, gee, we can give them a
choice, either have a duty roster where people walk around with
weapons, and that would discourage further shooting because, clearly,
as an article by Arthur Berg says in The Wall Street Journal, these
people want to conclude it themselves. If they are afraid someone will
shoot them before they conclude it, then that would not be--they
wouldn't be going through it.
So those are all things that motivate my amendment being filed, and
the chairman here tells me that this is an issue that they would like
to push in conference with the Senate bill that will be brought
through.
Since there is an ongoing concern about what would be the best way to
do this, as I have experienced with commanders I have talked to, I have
been encouraged--and not in a bad way--that this would be a way that we
could do it, I would be consulted on what was being done in conference
and that it would be brought up there.
As a result, based on the assurances of my friend, the chairman, I
ask unanimous consent to withdraw my amendment at this time.
The Acting CHAIR. Is there objection to the request of the gentleman
from Texas?
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Reserving the right to object, I just want
to talk for a moment or two. I hear all that, and I am happy to have
the amendment withdrawn. I think this is a bad idea from our side of
the aisle. I have talked to a lot of people in the military, and they
are deeply concerned about the notion of allowing people to be armed on
base at all times. The command structure issues that you mentioned and
the rights that are given up, this is something that we would strongly
oppose.
I just want to make sure for the Record a colloquy doesn't put
something in conference, okay? I don't know what the Senate is going to
do. There is nothing in our bill on this. If there is nothing in the
Senate bill, it ain't in conference. So, if you want to withdraw it and
keep working on the Senate, that is fine. I just want to make sure that
we don't have some record here that thinks that, with this colloquy, it
makes this a conference issue.
The Acting CHAIR. Does the gentleman from Washington withdraw his
reservation?
Parliamentary Inquiry
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, point of parliamentary
inquiry, a colloquy does not put an issue in a position to be in
conference, does it? It has to be in either the House or the Senate
bill?
The Acting CHAIR. That is a matter for debate.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. All right. Well, if the purpose is to
withdraw the amendment, I will withdraw my reservation of objection.
The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, the amendment is withdrawn.
There was no objection.
Amendment No. 3 Offered by Ms. Loretta Sanchez of California
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 3
printed in House Report 113-455.
Ms. LORETTA SANCHEZ of California. 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 270, line 11, strike ``REACTORS.'' and insert
``REACTORS, AND DEFENSE NUCLEAR NONPROLIFERATION.''.
Page 270, line 20, insert ``or for other national security
purposes,'' before ``the Secretary of Defense may''.
Page 270, line 25, insert ``, defense nuclear
nonproliferation programs,'' before ``or weapons
activities''.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 585, the gentlewoman
from California (Ms. Loretta Sanchez) and a Member opposed each will

The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from California.
Ms. LORETTA SANCHEZ of California. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such
time as I may consume.
Mr. Chairman, every day, the United States faces an extremely urgent
and dangerous threat, and this threat goes beyond the traditional
dangers of states possessing nuclear weapons.
What I am talking about right now is the very real possibility of
these dangerous materials landing in the hands of terrorist
organizations. Because of this real threat, I know that there is no one
in this Chamber who will deny the importance of nonproliferation
programs and how effective they are in combating one of the greatest
threats to the United States' security.
For example, just imagine if Ukraine still had its nuclear materials
today. Imagine the disaster we would be in as the administration
endeavored to accelerate the removal of nuclear materials from Ukraine,
but the Global Threat Reduction Initiative, an incredibly important
nonproliferation program, could not adequately respond because it
required additional funds, but the Department of Defense could not
transfer those necessary funds.
This is exactly the type of situation we are trying to avoid by
passing my amendment. Fortunately, the United States removed over 235
kilograms of highly enriched uranium over 2 years from the two
remaining sites in Ukraine in 2012. This is enough highly enriched
uranium to develop more than nine nuclear weapons.
We do not have the ability to predict the future, especially with
challenges and threats we will face. This is why we need the ability to
be flexible. This is essential, and that is exactly what my amendment
provides.
The Department of Defense has been transferring approximately $1
billion per year to NNSA weapons programs, and over the next 5 years,
DOD will be providing around $1.5 billion annually for NNSA weapons and
Naval Reactor programs.
What the Sanchez amendment would do is to allow the Department of
Defense to have the option of transferring funds to nonproliferation
programs. It does not remove funding from weapons programs or Naval
Reactor Program, but it provides DOD the flexibility to allocate
funding to areas which they believe will effectively secure dangerous
nuclear material and to respond to emergencies and threats as they may
arise.
Nuclear weapons materials remain dangerously vulnerable, so terrorist
groups continue to seek these weapons and material every day.
I would like to ask my colleagues from both sides of the aisle, if
there was a loose nuclear weapon or missing
[[Page H4675]]
fissile material or the risk of these materials landing in the hands of
terrorists, why would we not want the Department of Defense to have the
flexibility to engage nuclear weapons experts from NNSA? That is
exactly what my amendment provides.
Once again, my amendment doesn't take any funding away from weapons
nor from Naval Reactors, but it simply removes the barriers and
provides the Department of Defense the flexibility to use all of its
resources to effectively address such nuclear threats.
Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Chairman, I claim the time in opposition.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes.
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Chairman, this is the fourth year in a row
this amendment or something similar to it has been offered. Once again,
I am going to ask that this be rejected.
The DOD has asked for the authority to transfer funds to NNSA's
nuclear weapons activities and Naval Reactors. It has not asked to move
limited resources to pay for NNSA nonproliferation activities.
The Navy may need to utilize authority in FY 2015 to support Naval
Reactors, which has taken major funding cuts in recent years, including
23 percent in FY 2014.
As Admiral Richardson, director of Naval Nuclear Propulsion Programs
at NNSA said at our hearing on April 8:
A 23 percent shortfall in my operations and infrastructure
requirements resulted in insufficient funds to do required
maintenance on one of my land-based prototypes, and without
relief, I will have no choice but to shut down that reactor,
resulting in 450 nuclear-trained operators not reporting to
the fleet, putting a greater burden on sailors and families
that are already sustaining 9- to 10-month deployments.
Keeping the underlying language sends a clear message to NNSA that
nuclear weapons activities and Naval Reactors are the NNSA's primary
mission and that it must prioritize those missions and deliver what the
military needs.
Any defense funds transferred out of DOD should only be used for
activities in line with DOD priorities, so I urge opposition to the
gentlelady's amendment.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Ms. LORETTA SANCHEZ of California. Mr. Chairman, may I ask how much
time I have left?
The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from California has 1\1/2\ minutes
remaining.
Ms. LORETTA SANCHEZ of California. Mr. Chairman, I reserve my time to
close.
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. I yield such time as he may consume to the
gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Lamborn).
Mr. LAMBORN. Mr. Chair, I thank the subcommittee chairman for
yielding, and I do want to applaud my friend and colleague from
California for her desire to fund nonproliferation.
That is a worthy goal that we all agree with, but right now, NNSA is
going to be spending in the bill that we are debating $1.6 billion for
that worthy goal, and to allow the Department of Defense to go in that
direction also would dilute the money that they need so badly for
readiness and training, paying our men and women in uniform, providing
them the food and weapons that they need.
So for that reason, I, too, oppose this amendment and ask for a
``no'' vote.
Nuclear nonproliferation efforts simply don't need more money, and if
you don't believe me, believe General Dempsey, Chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff. At our March 16 hearing, he said, in response to a
question of my colleague from California, Ms. Sanchez:
I speak in this regard on behalf of the Joint Chiefs
because, of course, we have discussed and debated this among
ourselves, and I think we have allocated an appropriate and
adequate amount of money into nonproliferation in our budget.
So simply put, our senior military officials agree that the
nonproliferation budget is already sufficient, and therefore, this
amendment is unnecessary.
This is the fourth year in a row we have debated it, and I would just
ask that we stop the debate on this amendment and vote ``no.''
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. I yield back the balance of my time.
Ms. LORETTA SANCHEZ of California. Mr. Chairman, I would like to
correct my colleague. It was not the fourth year in a row we have
debated it. For example, we didn't debate this last year.
I would further like to say that one of the reasons we have asked for
Naval Reactor moneys is because of the shortfall that they had this
past year that they weren't able to react to because they didn't have
the flexibility.
So with all of these issues going on with terrorists, in particular
looking for nuclear arms or material, I think that it is important for
us to give the Department of Defense that flexibility.
The same type of thing that they found themselves in a bind for with
the reactors this past year, it would be important not to find
ourselves in a bind if we would need it for this year.
{time} 2100
And I would also like to remind my colleagues that yes, we put some
more money into nonproliferation this year after many years of cutting
it, but we put a significantly more amount of money into the nuclear
armament piece.
Mr. Chairman, I would just ask my colleagues to vote for the
flexibility for the Department of Defense. I have no further speakers,
and I urge my colleagues to support my amendment with the underlying
bill.
Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Chair, I respect my friend from
California. She is very knowledgeable on the subject, but she is wrong
on this amendment, and I urge a ``no'' vote.
Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
The CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentlewoman from California (Ms. Loretta Sanchez).
The question was taken; and the Chair announced that the noes
appeared to have it.
Ms. LORETTA SANCHEZ of California. Mr. Chair, I demand a recorded
vote.
The CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on
the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from California will be
postponed.
Amendment No. 4 Offered by Mr. Lamborn
The CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 4 printed in
House Report 113-455.
Mr. LAMBORN. Mr. Chairman, I have an amendment at the desk.
The CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:
In section 1215, redesignate subsections (d) and (e) as
subsections (e) and (f), respectively.
In section 1215, insert after subsection (c) the following:
(d) Process for Reimbursement.--
(1) In general.--The Secretary of Defense shall request
submission of claims for reimbursement, including full
documentation, from each grantee, contractor, or
subcontractor that paid to the Government of Afghanistan
taxes assessed on Department of Defense assistance during
fiscal year 2014 for an amount equal to the amount the
grantee, contractor, or subcontractor paid to the Government
of Afghanistan in such taxes.
(2) Plan for reimbursement.--The Secretary of Defense shall
seek to establish a plan in conjunction with the Government
of Afghanistan to address claims for reimbursement described
in paragraph (1) and to provide for reimbursement by the
Government of Afghanistan of such claims. The Secretary shall
submit any such plan established under this paragraph to the
congressional defense committees in a timely manner.
(3) Reimbursement.--If the Secretary of Defense does not
submit the plan described in paragraph (2) to the
congressional defense committees by not later than March 1,
2015, any funds withheld from the Government of Afghanistan
pursuant to subsection (a) shall be used to reimburse each
grantee, contractor, or subcontractor that submits a claim
for reimbursement under paragraph (1) by the amount specified
in such claim and verified by the Secretary.
The CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 585, the gentleman from
Colorado (Mr. Lamborn) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Colorado.
Mr. LAMBORN. Mr. Chairman, when our soldiers, sailors, airmen,
marines, and Defense civilians deploy overseas, the Department of
Defense enters into agreements with the host nation to prohibit the
taxation of the assistance provided by U.S. companies to support their
missions.
[[Page H4676]]
We have entered into such agreements with Afghanistan, but in the
last 6 years, the Afghan Government has chosen to ignore these
agreements. It has levied more than $1 billion in illegal taxes against
our U.S. businesses which are supporting our warfighters.
Last year we took action to withhold assistance funding in response
to this illegal taxation, yet the Afghan Government continues to submit
tax bills to our companies. If the firms refuse to pay, Afghan
officials threaten to deny them permits and visas, to arrest company
workers, and to prohibit them from moving mission essential equipment
into and throughout the country. Though our committee has now increased
the amount of funding to be withheld, I propose this amendment to
hopefully end this wrong practice altogether.
This amendment would require two important steps forward: first the
Secretary of Defense would take a full account of illegal taxes levied
by the Afghan Government against American companies; second, the
Secretary will establish a plan for the Afghan Government to reimburse
the illegally levied taxes.
In short, no U.S. company should be threatened or financially
punished for supporting our troops and Department of Defense civilians
in Afghanistan. This amendment strikes at the root of the problem, and
I urge its adoption.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chair, I rise in opposition to the
amendment.
The CHAIR. The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chair, I am very sympathetic to the
problem. This is certainly something that the Afghan Government should
not be doing. As I understand the amendment, however, this would
require the U.S. Government to reimburse those private companies and
then seek reimbursement from the Afghan Government.
At the end of the day, that is the problem and concern that we have
on our side is that if we want to take all the deliberate steps that we
can to try and require the Afghans to repay this money, that is great--
I can see the little gathering of staff over there that disagrees with
me, so maybe we will have to work on this. But as I understand it, if
that reimbursement cannot be achieved from the Afghan Government, this
would require the U.S. Government, the U.S. taxpayers to reimburse
these companies. For that reason, I would be opposed unless someone can
convince me otherwise.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. LAMBORN. Mr. Chairman, in response, and I appreciate the
gentleman's comments, the bookkeeping trouble that this would involve
is first put on the Afghan Government in an attempt to save the trouble
to our own Department of Defense folks.
On your second point, I don't believe U.S. taxpayer dollars would be
at risk because this would only be money withheld that would otherwise
go to the Afghan Government and is committed for that purpose is my
understanding.
So you raise good questions, but I think both of those objections are
satisfied by this amendment.
At this point, Mr. Chairman, I would like to yield as much time as he
may consume to the gentleman from California, Representative McKeon,
the chairman of the full committee.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I want to thank the gentleman for his
concern and for bringing this issue to the floor.
We did address this in the underlying bill. DOD contractors are
providing very important services. It supports the ISAF mission in
Afghanistan, and they should not be illegally taxed.
We need to address this. I think the gentleman's amendment will move
the process forward. I think we have time between now and the Senate
passage and conference to resolve the issue. Also, hopefully there will
be a new President in Afghanistan that will have a whole different way
of addressing the situation. So what I would ask is that we do continue
to work together on this as we move the process forward through
conference.
Mr. LAMBORN. Mr. Chairman, how much time is left on our side of the
issue?
The CHAIR. The gentleman from Colorado has 2 minutes remaining.
Mr. LAMBORN. I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chair, I yield myself the balance of my
time.
The problems are there in the drafting of this amendment. Yes, first
it does ask for the Afghan Government to step up and find money and do
this; but if they don't, it does put DOD in the position of reimbursing
them. You can say that would just come from money that they would give
to Afghanistan anyway, but that money they are giving to Afghanistan, I
am not sure if that is true, first of all. Second of all, whatever
money we are giving Afghanistan, we are giving it to them for a reason.
So I think there is a problem here.
There is also the problem of do we have a list of these contractors
who have been illegally taxed versus legally taxed? How do we sort
through all of that?
I am not going to belabor the point. I am going to oppose the
amendment. I know how this works. I am going to lose. We will work it
out in conference. I do have serious concerns about this amendment and
the way it is written and urge a ``no'' vote.
I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. LAMBORN. Mr. Chairman, to summarize, these are legitimate
questions that the ranking member has raised. I appreciate his
comments, and there are valid issues in that it is not a clean or
perfect situation. But the trouble is a billion dollars is a lot of
money to our defense contractors, and to not try to address it would do
a really big disservice to them. So I think it is worth tackling the
difficulty that might be entailed in getting the paperwork done
properly because the goal is worth doing. A billion dollars is a lot of
money. Some of these companies might be big contractors; some of them
might be small contractors.
So I would urge the adoption of this amendment, and Mr. Chairman, I
yield back the balance of my time.
The CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman
from Colorado (Mr. Lamborn).
The amendment was agreed to.
Amendment No. 5 Offered by Mr. Garamendi

Modification to Amendment No. 5 Offered by Mr. Garamendi
Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Chairman, I ask unanimous consent that my
amendment be modified with what I have placed at the desk.
The CHAIR. The Clerk will report the modification.
The Clerk read as follows:
Modification offered by Mr. Garamendi to amendment No. 5:
On page 5, line 14 replace ``Afghan Security Forces'' with
``African Union Standby Force (ASF)''
The CHAIR. Without objection, the amendment is modified.
There was no objection.
The CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 585, the gentleman from
California (Mr. Garamendi) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from California.
Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Chairman, for some time, like more than an hour
today, this House debated and discussed the issue of Boko Haram and the
terror that they are enacting throughout Nigeria and the southern Sahel
of Africa. This is not a new issue. This is an issue that has been
ongoing among several violent extreme organizations operating in that
area. We have seen this in Sudan. We have heard about the Lord's
Resistance Army. We know this problem also of violent extreme
organizations in the Somalia area.
The question arises: How do these organizations finance themselves?
Well, over the years previously it was blood diamonds and things of
that sort. In recent years, it has now become an issue of killing
elephants and selling their tusks.
This amendment deals with the violent extreme organizations and
attempts to deal with the way in which they have been able to finance
themselves, that is, illegally poaching animals, particularly elephants
in Africa.
If we are going to deal with this, we are going to have to use some
of the assets that are available through the American military. AFRICOM
has shown that they can provide ISR assets. This happened in Mali with
the violent extreme organization that eventually was dealt with in
Mali. AFRICOM provided the use of the ISR Global Hawk to identify and
to support the French troops.
What this amendment would do would be to authorize the military, the
Department of Defense, to work with African countries to provide
support as they attempt to deal with these violent extreme
organizations that are illegally poaching animals and using that
revenue from that poaching, particularly the sale of ivory, to support
themselves.
The amendment also provides for the opportunity for the African Union
forces to receive assistance from the American military in how to
position themselves to have the correct military units in place, how to
use various intelligence sources that are available. It also provides
for the Department of Defense to become part of the organization that
we now have in place to deal with illegal poaching throughout Africa.
That is basically what it is.
Had this been in place for the last couple of years, would Boko Haram
have been successful? Well, they would be less successful. They would
have less opportunity to poach the very valuable elephants and their
tusks.
So I ask for support of this amendment, and I reserve the balance of
my time.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chair, I claim the time in opposition.
The CHAIR. The gentleman from Texas is recognized for 5 minutes.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chair, I yield myself 2 minutes.
Mr. Chairman, this issue has been a longstanding concern of the
gentleman from California as well as other Members. There is certainly
evidence that terrorists and criminal organizations use a variety of
illegal methods to fund their organizations. That includes wildlife
trafficking. It includes human trafficking. It includes drug
trafficking. It includes kidnapping for ransom. A whole variety of
illegal methods are used to fund these organizations.
Now, in last year's NDAA, we expanded the authority of the military
to deal with Ministries of Interior so that in fighting terrorism they
can have more options available to them. It is also those Ministries of
Interior that deal with these wildlife trafficking issues.
Last year's bill also added 15 countries in Africa to the list of
those countries with which DOD can partner on transnational criminal
organizations involving drugs.
{time} 2115
For Boko Haram they already designated a terrorist organization. For
them or for drugs those authorities already exist.
The question is: Do we want to make it a priority of the military to
focus on this illegal poaching as a priority in itself? My concern is
that the military is already stretched thin. If it is terrorism, fine.
If it is these transnational organizations, fine. But to give the
military poaching as a priority would be a mistake.
The other point I would make is that the President's budget for the
State Department cut funding for this very purpose this year. Last
year, they spent about $54 billion. This year the President asked for
less than $30 million.
So my suggestion to the Member is that perhaps he could focus on the
President's budget request for the State Department, the Department of
the Interior, law enforcement agencies, all of which are engaged in
this, and that would be a better use of resources.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Chairman, the gentleman from Texas makes a very
useful and interesting argument, but neglects to focus on one of the
principal ways in which these organizations do support themselves, and
that is with illegal poaching, particularly of elephants, and the use
of their tusks to support themselves. It is about an $8 billion
business.
This does not in any way deter the current power that the Department
of Defense has, but rather, it allows them to engage with those
organizations in these governments that deal specifically with the
conservation of the species in those countries. It does not prioritize.
It simply gives an additional role and augments the military's use of
their equipment, particularly the ISR equipment, to focus specifically,
but not only, on the poaching issue.
[[Page H4678]]
It is very clear from studies that have been done by conservation
organizations throughout the Sahel of Africa and in other parts of
Africa, that this is a significant source of revenue for these violent
extreme organizations. We ought not ignore that.
I would ask for a positive vote on this matter in that it does not
deter in any way from what the gentleman from Texas says the military
is already doing, but adds to it.
With that, I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the gentlelady
from Indiana (Mrs. Walorski), a valuable member of the Armed Services
Committee.
Mrs. WALORSKI. Mr. Chairman, I thank the gentleman from Texas.
Mr. Chairman, I rise to oppose the amendment. While I appreciate the
good intention of the gentleman from California, I believe we have
immense security challenges in Africa and limited defense resources.
Defense has been cut over $1 trillion in recent years, the military
is facing shortfalls in readiness, and terrorism threats across Africa
are evolving and expanding.
Given that the military cannot meet our current requirements in
Africa, I don't think it is wise to add new requirements at this time.
Military commanders in Africa have testified about shortfalls in
intelligence, crisis response forces, and enablers to meet the ``new
normal'' security requirements in Africa.
No military commander has highlighted wildlife trafficking as a key
issue in their area of responsibility, nor have they recommended it be
prioritized before this committee.
Combating wildlife trafficking should not be a core DOD mission. DOD
and the administration recognize that combating wildlife trafficking is
not a core DOD function, and thus the national strategy for combating
wildlife trafficking does not set forth any DOD requirements.
In an era of declining budgets, the DOD should not be duplicating
efforts that are already occurring within the interagency, including
the intelligence community, the law enforcement community, and the
State Department, all of which are already working on and collecting
information on this issue.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, the bottom line is if there is a
terrorism connection to this illegal poaching, the military has full
authority to go after it and try to stop it, just like other forms of
terrorist financing. But as an independent objective for the military,
we are stretched too thin already, and for that reason I recommend that
the Members reject this amendment.
I yield back the balance of my time.
The CHAIR. The question is on the amendment, as modified, offered by
the gentleman from California (Mr. Garamendi).
The question was taken; and the Chair announced that the noes
appeared to have it.
Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Chairman, I demand a recorded vote.
The CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on
the amendment, as modified, offered by the gentleman from California
will be postponed.
Amendment No. 6 Offered by Mr. Daines
The CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 6 printed in
House Report 113-455.
Mr. DAINES. Mr. Chairman, I have an amendment at the desk.
The CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:
Page 515, strike lines 19 and 20.
The CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 585, the gentleman from
Montana (Mr. Daines) and a Member opposed each will control 5 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Montana.
Mr. DAINES. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
Mr. Chairman, our country's intercontinental ballistic missiles make
the world safer. They are an integral part of the nuclear triad that
advances the cause of peace and promotes our national security
interests around the world.
The Defense Department recently put forward a nuclear force structure
plan under the New START Treaty. It is committed to maintaining 450
nuclear launchers in at least a warm status. In doing so, the Pentagon
recognized the strategic value of preserving our robust nuclear
deterrent capability.
The base bill would sunset the warm status requirement in 2021. I
believe this is unwise and it is premature.
First and foremost, we don't know what the future holds and whether
it will be in our strategic and security interests to shut down some of
our silos 7 years from now.
On the other hand, what we do know is that maintaining our nuclear
launchers provides our commanders with maximum flexibility to respond
to potential nuclear threats against the American people and our
allies. And we know that preserving this capability complicates our
adversaries' ability to target our nuclear assets.
Further, we know that maintaining our current silos is in the best
interest of taxpayers because rebuilding them would be very expensive.
In short, there is simply no justification for deciding today how
many silos will be needed to safeguard our security interests in 2021.
I urge House passage of my amendment to strike the ill-advised sunset
provision in the underlying.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. COOPER. Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to the amendment.
The CHAIR. The gentleman from Tennessee is recognized for 5 minutes.
Mr. COOPER. Mr. Chairman, this amendment violates a bipartisan
agreement that was reached in the House Armed Services Committee.
I wish that the gentleman would focus on the fact that micromanaging
our Nation's nuclear defenses is really not in the best interest of our
country. I also urge the gentleman to realize that this is a highly
technical issue. We have some 450 Minuteman-III missile silos. This
would change the status of about 50 of those 450.
These are probably the least survivable of all our nuclear weapons.
They have been targeted by the Russians and probably others for
decades. It is very important that we have an appropriate and flexible
and survivable nuclear deterrent. As I mentioned, these land-based
missiles are probably the least survivable.
It is also important to recognize that, as I understand the way the
amendment is drafted, this could even prevent testing and routine
maintenance of these silos. I know that is not the gentleman's intent,
but we need to make sure that we are not overreaching here and
hamstringing our military and their nuclear defenses.
It is no secret that the sponsors of this amendment happen to be from
the States of North Carolina, Montana, and Wyoming, and also a
gentleman from Colorado. That leads one to think that this might
perhaps be a parochial amendment more than a nuclear defense amendment.
I hope that is not the case, but it does lead one to think in that
direction.
Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. DAINES. Mr. Chairman, while the President is the Commander in
Chief--this is the issue of micromanaging--the Constitution gives
Congress the power to raise and support armies and to provide and
maintain a Navy. It is our duty and responsibility to help shape our
Nation's defense policy.
Regarding the ICBMs, they are deployed in hardened silos. That would
tend to force an opponent to exhaust his own nuclear forces to disarm
U.S. ICBMs, leaving the opponent vulnerable to a U.S. retaliatory
strike. Without ICBMs, as few as five nuclear warheads could
successfully disarm the U.S.
Now I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from North Dakota, Kevin
Cramer, my friend.
Mr. CRAMER. Mr. Chairman, I thank the gentleman for yielding.
With regard to the claims of parochialism, there is no question that
those of us from the States that host these ICBMs are technical experts
in the field. It only makes sense that we would know a lot about it.
Mr. Chairman, while I am content with the Department of Defense's
recent force structure announcement on complying with the New START
Treaty to maintain 454 ICBM silos in warm status, I too strongly oppose
the hard stop date that maintains these missile
[[Page H4679]]
silos in warm status no later than 2021. Members of this body, Members
of the Senate, the Secretary of Defense, the Chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, and many others have said the sustainment of our
nuclear triad is essential and that any further reductions ought not be
done in unilateral fashion.
Maintaining and investing in the modernization of this weapon system
is just as important as any other leg of the nuclear triad. From what I
can tell and from what the people of North Dakota know, it is a lot
cheaper to maintain them than to rebuild them should we err in our
judgment currently.
I urge passage of the amendment.
Mr. COOPER. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from
Washington (Mr. Smith), the distinguished ranking member of the
committee.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I strongly oppose this
amendment. It really doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
What the bill does is it says you can't touch these things since
until 2021. Now, we don't like that in the first place because this is
micromanaging, again, DOD's ability to make decisions about how best to
make sure that we maintain our nuclear deterrence. This is a fine
example of why DOD is going to be in so much trouble down the road. Any
effort they make to save money is going to be blocked by parochial
interest. The people who are from there will rise up and say: No, you
can't do that, basically because it negatively impacts my constituents.
The thing that is truly awful about this one is it doesn't negatively
impact constituents. It says 2021 sunset. And it is not a hard stop
date, regrettably. It is 2021 when it sunsets, and any Congress that
wants to extend it between now and, I guess that is 7 years from now,
can go ahead and extend it.
DOD should not be forced into a position of saying if a silo exists
it has to be maintained forever, which is basically what this amendment
says. It says it is completely impossible that under any set of
circumstances might it be in the best interest of the Department of
Defense and the national security of this Nation to get rid of even one
silo. That doesn't make any sense.
The underlying bill more than protects the parochial interests of the
sponsors here by making sure that DOD can't touch it until 2021. But
that is not enough. They have got to offer an amendment to strip it out
so that it goes on forever. That simply doesn't make any sense. This
is, again, micromanaging for parochial interests. It is just like when
DOD wants to move five C-130s from somewhere. The people from there
rise up and say we have to stop them. No, we don't. We have to let DOD
make intelligent decisions to spend money wisely to best protect
national security. At a minimum, we ought to be able to have a sunset 7
years from now without having to remove even that tiny little
possibility that a sensible decision might be allowed to be made by the
Department of Defense.
I urge opposition of the amendment.
Mr. DAINES. Mr. Chairman, I continue to reserve the balance of my
time.
Mr. COOPER. May I inquire as to how much time I have remaining, Mr.
Chairman.
The CHAIR. The gentleman from Tennessee has 1\1/2\ minutes remaining.
Mr. COOPER. Mr. Chairman, I yield 30 seconds to the gentleman from
California (Mr. Garamendi).
Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Chairman, I took up an amendment a moment ago and
people were talking about how we use our resources to keep these
missile silos open when they are not needed and questioning whether
missiles are needed. We are talking about billions and billions of
dollars. So if we are really, really concerned about how we deploy our
precious money, then we ought not be doing this amendment.
{time} 2130
Mr. DAINES. Mr. Chairman, I continue to reserve the balance of my
time.
Mr. COOPER. Mr. Chairman, I urge my colleagues to oppose this
amendment.
As I mentioned, it is poorly drafted, and it probably prevents even
the routine testing and maintenance of the silos, which could not
possibly be an intention of the authors. It also micromanages the
Defense Department.
For them to renege on the deal that was made in committee--the
bipartisan deal--in order to give you 7 more years of leeway is really
a pretty remarkable thing. This sets a new level for parochialism and
greed, unfortunately, in this body. I hope the Members will reject this
amendment.
I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. DAINES. Mr. Chairman, I am prepared to close.
Again, I urge support for my amendment, which is to protect our
country's nuclear deterrent capability by striking this unwise and
premature sunset language in the underlying bill.
I yield back the balance of my time.
The CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman
from Montana (Mr. Daines).
The question was taken; and the Chair announced that the ayes
appeared to have it.
Mr. COOPER. Mr. Chairman, I demand a recorded vote.
The CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on
the amendment offered by the gentleman from Montana will be postponed.
Amendment No. 7 Offered by Mr. Lamborn
The CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 7 printed in
House Report 113-455.
Mr. LAMBORN. Mr. Chairman, I have an amendment at the desk.
The CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:
At the end of subtitle B of title XXVIII, add the following
new section:
SEC. 28__. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON NATIONAL SECURITY AND PUBLIC
LANDS.
It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) national defense should be the top priority for all
aspects of the Federal Government; and
(2) national security functions, such as military training
and exercises, should be the top priority, particularly with
regard to the use of land owned by the United States.
The CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 585, the gentleman from
Colorado (Mr. Lamborn) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Colorado.
Mr. LAMBORN. Mr. Chairman, most Americans do not realize that 28
percent of the land across our great country is owned by the Federal
Government. In the 11 most western States, the Federal Government owns
a staggering 47 percent of all land.
In my State of Colorado, the Federal Government owns 36 percent of
the land. Over one-third of all land in Colorado is owned and operated
here, out of Washington, D.C.
The management of these lands is often controversial, particularly
when the Federal Government owns such a significant portion of the land
of a State or of a locality. There are often situations where there are
competing and conflicting uses of this publicly-owned land.
This Federal ownership of public land is administered through a
variety of Federal agencies and bureaus, making things potentially even
more difficult for States and localities.
This public land serves many functions, including, in some cases, as
a prime training ground for the U.S. military. In Colorado, for
example, the new Combat Aviation Brigade at Fort Carson flies their
helicopters up into the mountains around Colorado Springs for training.
To practice high altitude landings in rugged terrain, which is a
crucial skill for combat in countries like Afghanistan, the Army must
get permission from the various parts of the Federal Government that
own the land.
Over the last few years, the Forest Service and the Bureau of Land
Management and other agencies have reduced the number of landing sites
that are permissible. In the latest permit, they told the Army that
Congress has not made national security a priority for public lands.
Unfortunately, this is not just isolated to Colorado. Across the
country, military bases are continually fighting with other government
agencies to maintain their access to public lands.
Today, my amendment will help set the record straight. National
security should be the top priority for our government, and that most
certainly includes the ownership of public land--land owned and
operated by the Federal Government. We should apply the rule of common
sense.
Unless there is an obvious reason not to, public land should, of
course, be
[[Page H4680]]
available so that men and women in uniform can receive realistic,
effective training that will save lives in combat. As we stand here
tonight, we must remember that the first job of the Federal Government
is to protect our Nation.
I urge support for my amendment, resolving that national security
should be a top priority for public lands.
Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I claim the time in
opposition.
The CHAIR. The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, there are a lot of competing
interests for public lands. Certainly, national security is one of
them, but it is not the only one. There is domestic aviation, and there
are all kinds of considerations.
This is not terribly binding, as it is a sense of Congress, and so it
does not change the law. I do, however, think it sets a bad precedent
that, somehow, the Department of Defense is going to hold sway over
public lands over all of their interests, regardless of what they are.
We have had many, many interests in our public lands. Certainly,
defense is one of them. I don't think it should be paramount.
Therefore, I oppose the amendment.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. LAMBORN. Mr. Chairman, I just don't want it to happen again that
the Forest Service or any other bureaucracy can tell the men and women
who are training to protect our country that they can't train and that
Congress has never even addressed this situation.
I at least want to have a resolution on record expressing the sense
of Congress that national defense is a priority. That is the way our
Constitution is written. I think this makes all kinds of sense, and I
would urge its adoption.
Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I
may consume.
It sort of depends on why the Forest Service wants to limit that use.
If there are other legitimate interests in the area and if the Forest
Service doesn't want them test-firing whatever it is they are test-
firing, I think we need to have a balance between those interests.
It is conceivable that the Forest Service might have something they
are trying to protect that the DOD has not thought about, and I think a
balance of those interests is better than making one agency paramount
over others.
The Forest Service does not know much about the Department of
Defense, but I would submit that the Department of Defense doesn't know
much about what the Forest Service is trying to protect. It is a matter
of both sides doing their jobs and striking the proper balance, so I
would simply urge a ``no'' vote.
I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. LAMBORN. Mr. Chairman, may I inquire as to how much time is
remaining?
The CHAIR. The gentleman from Colorado has 2 minutes remaining.
Mr. LAMBORN. Mr. Chairman, in conclusion, I would just say that there
are balancing interests and that there are competing interests that
should be, many times, debated and weighed. That is, actually, what the
Army at Fort Carson does.
They have entered into the permitting agreements with the Forest
Service and with the Bureau of Land Management, agreeing with the
concerns raised by those two bureaucracies, so they have worked
together in a cooperative fashion.
What I am addressing, though, is when the Forest Service comes out
and says that Congress has never addressed this issue. I think that
that is wrong. Now is the time to set the record straight, and this
amendment does set the record straight.
We are expressing that national security is a priority. That is what
the Constitution says, and that is what we are stating right here. I
ask for an ``aye'' vote.
Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
The CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman
from Colorado (Mr. Lamborn).
The amendment was agreed to.
Mr. LAMBORN. 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.
Daines) having assumed the chair, Mr. Stewart, 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. 4435) to
authorize appropriations for fiscal year 2015 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.
