Motion Offered by Mr. McKeon

Mr. McKeon moves that the House concur in the Senate
amendment to H.R. 3979 with an amendment consisting of the
text of Rules Committee Print 113-58 modified by the
amendments printed in part A of House Report 113-646 and the
amendment specified in section 5 of House Resolution 770.
The text of the House amendment to the Senate amendment to the text
is as follows:
[[Page H8388]]
In lieu of the matter proposed to be inserted by the Senate
amendment to H.R. 3979, insert the following:
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
(a) Short Title.--This Act may be cited as the ``Carl Levin
and Howard P. `Buck' McKeon National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2015''.
(b) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1)(A) Senator Carl Levin of Michigan was elected a member
of the United States Senate on November 7, 1978, for a full
term beginning January 3, 1979. He has served continuously in
the Senate since that date, and was appointed as a member of
the Committee on Armed Services in January 1979. He has
served on the Committee on Armed Services since that date, a
period of nearly 36 years.
(B) A graduate of Detroit Central High School, Senator
Levin went on to Swarthmore College, and graduated from
Harvard Law School in 1959, gaining admittance to the
Michigan bar. He served his State as assistant attorney
general and general counsel of the Michigan Civil Rights
Commission from 1964-1967, and later served his hometown of
Detroit as a member of the Detroit City Council from 1969-
1973, and as the council's president from 1974-1977.
(C) Senator Levin first served as chairman of the Committee
on Armed Services of the United States Senate for a period of
the 107th Congress, and has remained chairman since the 110th
Congress began in 2007. He has exercised extraordinary
leadership as either the chairman or ranking minority member
of the committee since the start of the 105th Congress in
1997.
(D) Each year, for the past 52 years, the Committee on
Armed Services has reliably passed an annual defense
authorization act, and this will be the 36th that Senator
Levin has had a role in. In his capacity as member, ranking
member, and chairman, he has been an advocate for a strong
national defense, and has made lasting contributions to the
security of our Nation.
(E) It is altogether fitting and proper that this Act, the
last annual authorization act for the national defense that
Senator Levin manages in and for the United States Senate as
chairman of the Committee on Armed Services, be named in his
honor, as provided in subsection (a).
(2)(A) Representative Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon was elected
to the House of Representatives in 1992 to represent
California's 25th Congressional District.
(B) Chairman McKeon was born in Los Angeles and grew up in
Tujunga CA. He served a two and a half year mission for the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and attended
Brigham Young University. Prior to his election to Congress,
he was a small business owner, and served both on the William
S. Hart Union High School District Board of Trustees and as
the first mayor of the City of Santa Clarita.
(C) In the 111th Congress, Chairman McKeon was selected by
his peers as the Ranking Member of the House Armed Services
Committee and has served as Chairman since in the 112th and
113th Congresses. Previously Chairman McKeon had served as
the Chairman of the House Committee on Education and the
Workforce.
(D) Chairman McKeon is a champion of a strong national
defense, the men and women of America's Armed Forces and
their families, and returning fiscal discipline to the
Department of Defense. His priority has been to ensure our
troops deployed around the world have the equipment,
resources, authorities, training and time they need to
successfully complete their missions and return home.
(E) For 52 consecutive years, the House Armed Services
Committee, in a bipartisan, bicameral tradition, has passed
and enacted an annual defense authorization act. Chairman
McKeon had said it has been the privilege of his life to
shepherd that tradition under his tenure.
(F) It is therefore fitting this Act, the last national
defense authorization act of his tenure, be named in Chairman
McKeon's honor, as provided in subsection (a).
(c) References.--Any reference in this or any other Act to
the ``National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
2015'' shall be deemed to refer to the ``Carl Levin and
Howard P.`Buck' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2015''.

and effective air-delivery leg of the nuclear triad,
preserving the ability to respond to geopolitical and
technical surprise, and reassuring allies of the United
States through credible extended deterrence.
(2) In the fiscal year 2015 budget request of the Air
Force, the Secretary of the Air Force delayed development of
the long-range standoff weapon, the follow-on for the air-
launched cruise missile, by three years.
(3) The Secretary plans to sustain the current air-launched
cruise missile, known as the AGM-86, until approximately
2030, with multiple service life-extension programs required
to preserve but not enhance the existing capabilities of the
air-launched cruise missile.

deployed in the 1980s.
(5) The average age of the inventory of air-launched cruise
missiles is more than 30 years old.
(6) The operating environment, particularly the
sophistication of integrated air defenses, has evolved
substantially since the inception of the air-launched cruise
missile.
(7) The AGM-86 is no longer in production and the inventory
of spare bodies for required annual testing continues to
diminish, posing serious challenges for long-term
sustainment.

(2) Elements.--The report under paragraph (1) shall include
the following:
(A) An assessment of the effectiveness and survivability of
the air-launched cruise missile through 2030, including the
impact of any degradation on the ability of the United States
Strategic Command to meet deterrence requirements, including
the number of targets held at risk by the air-launched cruise
missile or the burdens placed on other legs of the nuclear
triad.
(B) A description of age-related failure trends, an
assessment of potential age-related fleet-wide reliability
and supportability problems, and the estimated costs for
sustaining the air-launched cruise missile.
(C) A detailed plan, including initial cost estimates, for
the development and deployment of the follow-on system that
will achieve initial operational capability before 2030.
(D) An assessment of the feasibility and advisability of
alternative development strategies, including initial cost
estimates, that would achieve full operational capability

SEC. 1015. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING SECURITY IN THE
WESTERN HEMISPHERE.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The stability and security of the Western Hemisphere
has a direct impact on the security interests of the United
States.
(2) Over the past decade, there has been a marked increase
in violence and instability in the region as a result of weak
governance and increasingly capable transnational criminal
organizations. These criminal organizations operate global,
multi-billion dollar networks that traffic narcotics, humans,
weapons, and bulk cash.
(3) Conflict between the various transnational criminal
organizations for smuggling routes and territory has resulted
in skyrocketing violence. According to the United Nations
Office on Drugs and Crime, Honduras has the highest murder
rate in the world with 90 murders per 100,000 people.
(4) United States Northern Command and United States
Southern Command are the lead combatant commands for
Department of Defense efforts to combat illicit trafficking
in the Western Hemisphere.
(5) To combat these destabilizing threats, through a
variety of authorities, the Department of Defense advises,
trains, educates, and equips vetted troops in the region to
enhance their military and police forces, with an emphasis on
human rights and the rule of law.
(6) As a result of decades of instability and violence,
tens of thousands of unaccompanied alien children and their
families have fled to the border between the United States
and Mexico. In fiscal year 2014, approximately 66,000 such
children were apprehended crossing into the United States
from Mexico.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the Department of Defense should continue its efforts
to combat transnational criminal organizations in the Western
Hemisphere;
(2) the Department of Defense should increase its maritime,
aerial and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance
capabilities in the region to more effectively support
efforts to reduce illicit trafficking into the United States;
and
(3) enhancing the capacity of partner nations in the region
to combat the threat posed by transnational criminal
organizations should be a cornerstone of the Department of
Defense's strategy in the region.

SEC. 1024. 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.

SEC. 1653. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON DETERRENCE AND DEFENSE
POSTURE OF THE NORTH ATLANTIC TREATY
ORGANIZATION.
It is the sense of Congress that the United States
reaffirms and remains committed to the policies enumerated by
the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in the Deterrence and
Defense Posture Review, dated May 20, 2012, and the Wales
Summit Declaration of September 2014, including the following
statements:
(1) As stated in the Deterrence and Defense Posture Review:
(A) ``The greatest responsibility of the Alliance is to
protect and defend our territory and our populations against
attack, as set out in Article 5 of the Washington Treaty. The
Alliance does not consider any country to be its adversary.
However, no one should doubt NATO's resolve if the security
of any of its members were to be threatened. NATO will ensure
that it maintains the full range of capabilities necessary to
deter and defend against any threat to the safety and
security of our populations, wherever it should arise.
Allies' goal is to bolster deterrence as a core element of
our collective defense and contribute to the indivisible
security of the Alliance.''.
(B) ``Nuclear weapons are a core component of NATO's
overall capabilities for deterrence and defense alongside
conventional and missile defense forces. The review has shown
that the Alliance's nuclear force posture currently meets the
criteria for an effective deterrence and defense posture.''.
(C) ``The circumstances in which any use of nuclear weapons
might have to be contemplated are extremely remote. As long
as nuclear weapons exist, NATO will remain a nuclear
alliance. The supreme guarantee of the security of the Allies
is provided by the strategic nuclear forces of the Alliance,
particularly those of the United States; the independent
strategic forces of the United Kingdom and France, which have
a deterrent role of their own, contribute to the overall
deterrence and security of the Allies.''.
(D) ``NATO must have the full range of capabilities
necessary to deter and defend against threats to the safety
of its populations and the security of its territory, which
is the Alliance's greatest responsibility.''.
(E) ``NATO is committed to maintaining an appropriate mix
of nuclear, conventional, and missile defense capabilities
for deterrence and defense to fulfill its commitments as set
out in the Strategic Concept. These capabilities, underpinned
by NATO's Integrated Command Structure, offer the strongest
guarantee of the Alliance's security and will ensure that it
is able to respond to a variety of challenges and
unpredictable contingencies in a highly complex and evolving
international security environment.''.
(2) As stated in the Wales Summit Declaration:
(A) ``Deterrence, based on an appropriate mix of nuclear,
conventional, and missile defence capabilities, remains a
core element of our overall strategy.''.
(B) ``Arms control, disarmament, and non-proliferation
continue to play an important role in the achievement of the
Alliance's security objectives. Both the success and failure
of these efforts can have a direct impact on the threat
environment of NATO. In this context, it is of paramount
importance that disarmament and non-proliferation commitments
under existing treaties are honoured, including the
Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, which is a
crucial element of Euro-Atlantic security. In that regard,
Allies call on Russia to preserve the viability of the INF
Treaty through ensuring full and verifiable compliance.''.

SEC. 1662. TESTING AND ASSESSMENT OF MISSILE DEFENSE SYSTEMS
PRIOR TO PRODUCTION AND DEPLOYMENT.
(a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) it is a high priority of the United States that the
ballistic missile defense system should work in an
operationally effective and cost-effective manner;
(2) prior to making final production decisions for such
systems, and prior to the operational deployment of such
systems, the United States should conduct operationally
realistic intercept flight testing that should create
sufficiently challenging operational conditions to establish
confidence that such systems will work in an operationally
effective and cost-effective manner when needed; and
(3) in order to achieve these objectives, and to avoid
post-production and post-deployment problems, it is essential
for the Department of Defense to follow a ``fly before you
buy'' approach to adequately test and assess the elements of
the ballistic missile defense system before final production
decisions or operational deployment.
(b) Successful Testing Required Prior to Final Production
or Operational Deployment.--The Secretary of Defense may not
make a final production decision for, or operationally
deploy, a covered system unless--
(1) the Secretary ensures that--
(A) sufficient and operationally realistic testing of the

KILL VEHICLE.
(a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the existing models of the exo-atmospheric kill vehicle
of the ground-based midcourse defense system are prototype
designs that were developed and deployed without using
traditional acquisition practices in order to provide an
initial defensive capability for an emerging ballistic
missile threat;
(2) consequently, while the deployed models of the exo-
atmospheric kill vehicle have demonstrated an initial level
of capability against a limited threat, such models do not
have the degree of reliability, robustness, cost
effectiveness, and performance that are desirable;
(3) the exo-atmospheric kill vehicle for the ground-based
midcourse defense system needs to be re-designed to
substantially improve the performance and reliability of such
kill vehicles; and
(4) the Secretary of Defense should follow a robust and
rigorous acquisition plan for the design, development, and
testing of the re-designed exo-atmospheric kill vehicle.
(b) Acquisition Plan Required.--The Secretary of Defense
shall develop an acquisition plan for the re-design of the
exo-atmospheric kill vehicle of the ground-based midcourse
defense system that includes rigorous elements for system
engineering, design, integration, development, testing, and
evaluation.
(c) Objectives.--The objectives of the acquisition plan
under subsection (b) shall be to ensure that the re-designed
exo-atmospheric kill vehicle is operationally effective,
[[Page H8496]]
reliable, producible, cost effective, maintainable, and
testable.
(d) Approval of Acquisition Plan Required.--The acquisition
plan under subsection (b) shall be subject to approval by the
Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and
Logistics.
(e) Testing Required.--Prior to operational deployment of
the re-designed exo-atmospheric kill vehicle, the Secretary
shall ensure that the re-designed kill vehicle has
demonstrated, through successful, operationally realistic
flight testing--
(1) a high probability of working in an operationally
effective manner; and
(2) the ability to accomplish the intended mission of the
re-designed kill vehicle, including against more complex
emerging ballistic missile threats.
(f) Report Required.--Not later than 60 days after the date
on which the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition,
Technology, and Logistics approves the acquisition plan under
subsection (d), the Director of the Missile Defense Agency
shall submit to the congressional defense committees a report
describing the acquisition plan and the manner in which the
plan will meet the objectives described in subsection (c).
SEC. 1664. STUDY ON TESTING PROGRAM OF GROUND-BASED MIDCOURSE
MISSILE DEFENSE SYSTEM.
(a) Study.-- Not later than 120 days after the date of the
enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall enter
into a contract with a federally funded research and
development center to conduct a study on the testing program
of the ground-based midcourse missile defense system.
(b) Elements.--The study under subsection (a) shall include
the following:
(1) An assessment of whether the testing program described
in subsection (a) has established, as of the date of the
study, that the ground-based midcourse missile defense system
has a high probability of performing reliably and effectively
against limited missile threats from North Korea and Iran
under realistic operational conditions, including an
explanation of the degree of confidence supporting such
assessment.
(2) An assessment of whether the currently planned testing
program, if implemented, is sufficient to establish
reasonable confidence that the ground-based midcourse missile
defense system has a high probability of performing reliably
and effectively under realistic operational conditions
against current and plausible near- and medium-term limited
ballistic missile threats from North Korea and Iran.
(3) Any recommendations for improvements that could be made
to the testing program to--
(A) achieve reasonable confidence that the system would be
reliable and effective under realistic operational
conditions; or
(B) improve test and cost efficiencies.
(c) Report.--Not later than one year after entering into
the contract under subsection (a), the Secretary shall submit
to the congressional defense committees a report containing
the study. The report shall be submitted in unclassified
form, but may include a classified annex.
SEC. 1665. SENSE OF CONGRESS AND REPORT ON HOMELAND BALLISTIC
MISSILE DEFENSE.
(a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) it is a national priority to defend the United States
homeland against the threat of limited ballistic missile
attack (whether accidental, unauthorized, or deliberate);
(2) although the currently deployed ground-based midcourse
defense system provides a level of protection of the entire
United States homeland, including the East Coast, against the
threat of limited ballistic missile attack from North Korea
and Iran, this capability needs to be improved to meet
evolving ballistic missile threats;
(3) the initial step in this process of improvement is to
correct the problems that caused the flight test failures
with the current kill vehicles, and to improve the
reliability of the deployed ground-based interceptor fleet;
(4) as indicated by senior officials of the Department of
Defense, continued investments to enhance homeland defense
sensor and discrimination capabilities are essential to
improve the operational effectiveness and shot doctrine of
the ground-based midcourse defense system;
(5) given limitations with the currently deployed exo-
atmospheric kill vehicles, it is important to re-design the
exo-atmospheric kill vehicle using a rigorous acquisition
approach, including realistic testing, that can achieve a
demonstrated capability as soon as practicable using sound
acquisition principles and practices; and
(6) in order to stay ahead of evolving ballistic missile
threats, the Department should design the next generation
exo-atmospheric kill vehicle to take full advantage of
improvements in sensors, discrimination, kill assessment,
battle management, and command and control, including the
potential to engage multiple objects.
(b) Report Required.--
(1) In general.--Not later than 180 days after the date of
the enactment of this Act, the Director of the Missile
Defense Agency, in coordination with the Commander of the
United States Northern Command, shall submit to the
congressional defense committees a report setting forth the

SEC. 1666. SENSE OF CONGRESS AND REPORT ON REGIONAL BALLISTIC
MISSILE DEFENSE.
(a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the regional ballistic missile capabilities of
countries such as Iran and North Korea pose a serious and
growing threat to forward deployed forces of the United
States, allies, and partner countries;
(2) given this growing threat, it is a high priority for

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.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 770, the motion
shall be debatable for 1 hour equally divided and controlled by the
chair and ranking minority member of the Committee on Armed Services.
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.
General Leave
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members may
have 5 legislative days within which to revise and extend their remarks
and to include extraneous material on H.R. 3979.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the
gentleman from California?
There was no objection.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
I rise today in support of the fiscal year 2015 National Defense
Authorization Act.
The NDAA is how Congress fulfills its constitutional responsibility
to provide for the common defense. This year will mark the 53rd
consecutive year that we have completed our work.
What makes this bill such an important piece of legislation are the
vital authorities contained within. It provides resources for the
mission in Afghanistan. It funds our military operations against ISIL
in Iraq and Syria. It pays our troops and their families. It keeps our
Navy fleet sailing and our military aircraft flying. It maintains a
strong nuclear deterrent.
The NDAA is much broader than this, but I will close in the interest
of time. Before I do, I would like to thank Ranking Member Smith, all
of the members of our Armed Services Committee, and my colleagues in
this body for all of their efforts to get us to this point.
{time} 1115
Every year for the past 52 years Congress has passed an NDAA. I am
grateful for the hardworking chairs and ranking members of the HASC,
but also to all Members of the body for recognizing the importance of
this vital piece of legislation.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I
may consume.
I want to join with the chairman in urging the body to pass this
important piece of legislation. This bill every year helps our military
do its job. It provides pay increases for the people who serve in the
military, it provides for military construction, and it provides for
the necessary authorities that the men and women who serve in our
military need to perform the missions that our country asks them to do.
This is particularly important as we continue to fight in Afghanistan
and as we continue to try to figure out how to deal with the challenge
in Syria and Iraq. I think this bill is of even more importance because
it contains within it the train and equip authority to help deal with
ISIS and Syria and Iraq.
I really wish to emphasize for this body that that train and equip
mission is just that. It in no way, shape, manner, or form authorizes
the use of military force, and I think it is the best approach.
I don't want U.S. troops fighting this war. We have learned that U.S.
troops cannot win the battle against the evil ideology that al Qaeda
and ISIS have promoted. We need local partners. That is what this bill
helps us do: train and equip those local partners so that they can
fight ISIS on their home turf locally and in a far more successful way.
I will say that this bill is deficient in one regard. We have a
smaller defense budget than we ever anticipated that we would have. If
sequestration comes to pass, it will be smaller still.
There are very difficult decisions in terms of what equipment to
procure, what equipment to set aside, how to cut personnel costs. The
Pentagon has wrestled with all of those issues and made a series of
proposals to us about how to make those cuts. We rejected pretty much
all of them.
That is not going to happen in the future. In 2016-2017 we are going
to have to make some choices, because if we don't make choices,
readiness gets hurt. It is the last thing that they can cut. They do
not fix equipment. They do not train troops as much. They do not pay
for ammunition and fuel to do the training. If we don't make the
decisions on how to make rational cuts in the budget in light of how
much that budget has shrunk, readiness gets hurt. So in the future, I
hope we will make those decisions.
I applaud the chairman for his fine work. I want to thank him for an
excellent working relationship. I wish him the best. He has been an
excellent chairman. He has upheld the tradition of bipartisanship on
the House Armed Services Committee as well as anybody. I really
appreciate that working relationship. I thank you for the work on this
bill, and I urge its passage.
With that, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from
Texas (Mr. Thornberry), my friend and colleague, the incoming chairman
of the
[[Page H8622]]
House Armed Services Committee and chairman of the Intelligence,
Emerging Threats and Capabilities Subcommittee.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the time.
Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of this measure. As we have already
heard, there are Members who have concerns about various provisions of
this bill. I think many Members have concerns about the process which
brought this bill to us. It was certainly messy, which was inevitable
when the Senate never passed a bill.
When you look at this measure as a whole, despite any imperfections,
it is better for the country, better for our security, better for the
men and women who serve in the Armed Forces to pass this bill rather
than to reject this bill, and I hope Members will support it strongly.
In fact, there are many good, important provisions in it. Within the
Subcommittee on Intelligence, Emerging Threats and Capabilities, we
have provisions dealing with cyber operations, with defense
intelligence, special operations, and human rights training of foreign
militaries. I am very grateful to my partner Mr. Langevin, who has
worked with me throughout the formulation of these provisions and
throughout the past 4 years on those issues.
Mr. Speaker, finally, it is very appropriate that this bill be named
in honor of Chairman Buck McKeon, not just for the work he has done on
this measure, but for the work he has done to promote our country's
security throughout his tenure and for the commitment that he has shown
to the men and women who serve our country in the military.
He has made substantial contributions substantively and, I agree with
Mr. Smith, collaboratively in working in a bipartisan way, which is
also good for the country, good for the men and women who serve. We
will certainly miss him, but we appreciate very much all his
contributions, and naming this bill for him is one way to help
recognize those.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the
gentlewoman from California (Ms. Loretta Sanchez), the ranking member
on the Tactical Air and Land Forces Subcommittee.
Ms. LORETTA SANCHEZ of California. Mr. Speaker, I want to also echo
my thanks to Chairman McKeon. I had the pleasure not only of working
with him on this committee, but also the Education Committee when we
were on that. You will be missed here in the Congress, Buck, but as a
Californian, I hope you will come back and help California even more.
An important role of the Armed Services Committee is to conduct
aggressive oversight on the hundreds of billions that the Department of
Defense spends each year. And while the DOD needs strong funding
support from Congress, there are still a lot of areas of wasteful
spending, areas that need to be cut, areas where more funding might be
needed than requested in the budget, and I am pleased that this final
NDAA includes numerous measures to reduce or restrict funding for DOD
programs that are behind schedule, not performing, or judged to be of
lower priorities.
In the Tactical Air and Land Forces Subcommittee part of the bill,
there are almost $800 million in funding reductions to such programs,
and we did that in a bipartisan manner. There is also oversight
legislation on several critical programs.
The final NDAA provides funding at the President's budget level for
most major programs, including more than $8 billion for the 34 F-35
aircraft and also for continued research and development.
And finally, the NDAA also includes significant funding in high-
priority areas. For example, the Growler aircraft, $450 million; an
additional $98 million for additional MQ-9 aircraft; an additional $103
million for UH-60 helicopters for our Army National Guard; an
additional $382 million for Army ground vehicles.
Also, I am very pleased that my provisions to further integrate women
into the military were included in this final bill. I strongly urge the
Department of Defense to ensure that there are no delays in expanding
opportunities for female servicemembers who are out there on the front
lines.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from
Virginia (Mr. Forbes), my friend and colleague who is a member of the
Armed Services Committee and is the chairman of the Seapower and
Projection Forces Subcommittee.
Mr. FORBES. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of this bill. I continue
to be impressed with the bipartisan effort that was used to create this
bill.
I want to thank Chairman McKeon for his leadership and service to our
Nation. His time and effort to support our men and women in uniform and
to guide our national security will be sorely missed. But he leaves the
committee in good hands with the gentleman from Texas, Chairman
Thornberry, who will bring two decades of experience and leadership to
help navigate our committee through the challenges ahead.
I do have to express concern for service provisions included in this
bill relating to servicemember entitlements. More specifically, I am
disappointed with the cuts to military housing allowances,
commissaries, and the pharmaceutical copay increase. While the bill
takes important steps forward in honoring our commitment to those who
wear our Nation's uniform, I remain concerned that these provisions
send the wrong signal to our warriors and their families who have
already sacrificed so much for our country. Despite these concerns, I
believe that this bill is a strong one and should be broadly supported.
As to the Seapower Subcommittee, I am pleased with the provisions in
this bill, including the continued funding of the nuclear refueling and
complex overhaul of the USS George Washington, construction of two
Virginia class submarines, two Arleigh Burke class destroyers, and
three Littoral Combat Ships. We were also successful in authorizing the
construction of LPD-28, continuing the Tomahawk missile production
line, retaining the existing cruiser force structure, and providing
thorough oversight of the requirements for the Navy's UCLASS program.
Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the members of the Armed Services
Committee, especially the gentleman from North Carolina (Mr. McIntyre),
the ranking member of the Seapower and Projection Forces Subcommittee,
for his long service and unyielding support for our men and women in
uniform.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the
gentleman from North Carolina (Mr. McIntyre), the ranking member of the
Seapower and Projection Forces Subcommittee.
Mr. McINTYRE. Mr. Speaker, I want to begin by thanking my good friend
from Virginia, Subcommittee Chairman Randy Forbes. He has not only been
an exceptional partner on this subcommittee but, more importantly, has
been a dear friend throughout my entire time in Congress, and he has
been an exceptional leader also of the Congressional Prayer Caucus,
with whom I have enjoyed serving as cochairman. I know that the
gentleman from Virginia will continue the great tradition of
bipartisanship on this subcommittee, and I wish him, as well as those
with whom we have served on our great subcommittee, the best in the
future as they continue to serve our men and women in uniform.
This bill contains $15.65 billion for shipbuilding that will
authorize two Virginia class submarines, two Arleigh Burke class
destroyers, three Littoral Combat Ships, and provides an additional
$800 million for a twelfth San Antonio class amphibious ship.
This bill also reaffirms Congress' support of an 11-ship aircraft
carrier fleet, with the addition of nearly $800 million for the
refueling and overhaul of the USS George Washington, something that I
know Chairman Forbes and I share a passion about. These ships are
critical to the United States' ability to project power and presence
anywhere in the world.
This bill, Mr. Speaker, continues the long tradition of bipartisan
support for our troops, for which this committee is known.
I am very humbled and honored to have been able to serve on this
important committee for our Nation's security, and I want to thank the
colleagues that I have served with over these last 18 years.
Mr. Speaker, I also thank Chairman McKeon and Ranking Member Adam
Smith, my classmate, for their steady
[[Page H8623]]
leadership throughout this process. Both of these gentlemen have been
great partners, and without them, we would not be here now to vote on
this bill.
It has, indeed, been a privilege to serve with them, to serve with
the committee members, and, most importantly, to serve our great men
and women in uniform who serve all of us throughout this country and,
indeed, around the world.
I strongly urge all of my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on this bill.
May God's blessings be with those who serve our country and continue
to stand night and day for our freedom. Let's show them our support.
Let's support this bill and get it done today. God bless all of them,
and God bless our Nation.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from
South Carolina (Mr. Wilson), my friend and colleague who is a member of
the Armed Services Committee and the chairman of the Military Personnel
Subcommittee.
Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. I thank the gentleman from California,
Chairman McKeon, for yielding.
Mr. Speaker, America appreciates Chairman Buck McKeon and his wife,
Patricia, for their extraordinary dedicated service to promoting a
strong military defense and the well-being of servicemembers and their
military families. I wish them Godspeed for their future success. The
chairman will be greatly missed.
As chairman of the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Military
Personnel--and I am very grateful that I have had the privilege of
working with Ranking Member Susan Davis of California--I am grateful to
have served with Chairman McKeon in drafting this bill.
Supporting our servicemembers and providing the necessary resources
for our military families and veterans is the primary function of the
Federal Government. With the hopeful passage today of the National
Defense Authorization Act, we will help achieve this goal and ensure
that our national security remains in tact.
Included in today's bill are provisions that the House and Senate
have agreed upon that will help keep American families safe and make
sure that our brave men and women in uniform are given the resources
they have earned and deserve.
{time} 1130
Included in today's bill are provisions that the House and Senate
have agreed upon that will help keep American families safe and make
sure that our brave men and women in uniform are given the resources
they have earned and deserve.
Key provisions:

Fort Hood who were wounded or killed in domestic terrorist attacks on
our home soil; mandates new criminal sexual assault reforms to prevent
future crimes from occurring and offers support to victims in need;
additional behavioral and psychological health programs will be made
available to address and prevent military suicides; a bipartisan
prohibition on the transfer of Guantanamo Bay detainees to the United
States and prevents construction of terrorist detention facilities at
home; and supports operations to support peace in the Middle East by
supporting our allies in the region. In the future, we will work to
enhance pay benefits and commissary proposals.
As a 31-year veteran of the Army National Guard, I am pleased that
Congressman Bill Enyart of Illinois and I were able to support the
National Guard's readiness and capabilities by preventing the transfer
of any Apache helicopters in the coming year. Apart from assisting the
States when disaster strikes, the National Guard serves as the combat
reserve force for our Active Duty Army and Air Force. Their
accomplishments are crucial for the security of our country.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I now yield 2 minutes to the
gentlewoman from California (Mrs. Davis), the ranking member of the
Military Personnel Subcommittee.
Mrs. DAVIS of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of the Carl
Levin and Howard ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2015.
As the ranking member of the Military Personnel Subcommittee, I am
pleased that this bill includes a number of provisions that continue
our commitment to our Armed Forces. I certainly want to thank Chairman
Joe Wilson for working with me in a bipartisan manner to support our
servicemembers and their families. I would also recognize and thank our
retiring chairman, Buck McKeon, and, of course, Adam Smith, the ranking
member, for their leadership.
I am pleased that the final agreement continues the committee's focus
on sexual assault. These provisions include requiring the judicial
panel to assess the impact of using mental health records by the
defense in preliminary hearings and a comparison between the civilian
use of mental health records in civilian criminal proceedings;
requiring the Secretary of Defense to consider the victims of sexual
assault's preference regarding whether the offense should be prosecuted
by court-martial or in a civilian court; and requiring performance
appraisals of a commanding officer to include whether the officer has
established a command climate in which allegations of sexual assault
are properly managed and victims feel free to report a sexual assault
without fear of retaliation.
Mr. Speaker, the agreement also includes several health care
provisions that continue to improve the mental health of the force.
Although the agreement includes a modest, one-time change to the
TRICARE pharmacy copay rates and a decrease by 1 percent in the housing
allowance, it does not include the full savings proposed by the
Department of Defense. As a result, the Department will need to address
the savings it already took in the fiscal year 2015 budget.
As Mr. Smith has pointed out, the discussion on compensation that led
to this agreement is a beginning to the conversations we must have. As
we look to the next Congress, I hope that the results of the Military
Compensation and Retirement Modernization Commission due in February
2015 will inform this important discussion. We all know these are
difficult times, particularly with full sequestration ahead in FY16.
Ignoring the issue will only lead the Department to take significant
cuts to end-strength and readiness. These difficult decisions will need
to be made in order to sustain our all-volunteer force.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Ohio
(Mr. Turner), my friend and colleague. He is a member of the Armed
Services Committee and chairman of the Tactical Air and Land Forces
Subcommittee and the sponsor of the child protection amendment that he
has worked on for 7 years.
Mr. TURNER. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of the National Defense Authorization
Act for 2015, the 53rd consecutive National Defense Authorization Act.
I want to personally thank the chairman and Ranking Member Smith; our
staff director, Bob Simmons; my MLA, Morley Greene; Senator Inhofe and
the ranking member; and, of course, Secretary Hagel for having included
in this bill important legislation that will protect the custody rights
of our men and women in uniform. This has been a battle for 7 years,
and I greatly appreciate their tenacity and their support over what has
been a long battle. No longer will random family law courts across the
Nation be able to penalize our men and women in uniform by taking
custody of their children away as a result of their having served their
Nation.
Mr. Speaker, I had the honor of serving as the chairman of the
Tactical Air and Land Forces Subcommittee as well as the cochair of the
Military Sexual Assault Prevention Caucus. Under the full committee
leadership of Chairman McKeon and Ranking Member Smith, with my ranking
member, Loretta Sanchez, we have done a bipartisan effort in this bill.
It supports the men and women, and it also helps retain defense
technology superiority, sustains our critical defense industrial base,
and helps to maintain continued modernization for our military.
Additionally, we provide full funding for the Joint Strike Fighter
and the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle programs, and the bill includes
additional funding for National Guard and Reserve Component Equipment
modernization,
[[Page H8624]]
Abrams tanks, Bradley Fighting Vehicles, Stryker combat vehicles,
tactical wheeled vehicles, body armor, and unmanned aerial systems.
I also believe that this bill is incredibly important because of the
provisions that are in this bill with respect to sexual assault. I want
to thank my cochair, Representative Tsongas, Military Personnel
Subcommittee Chairman Joe Wilson, and the ranking member, Susan Davis,
for her help on the issues of sexual assault in the military and also
custody. These provisions are incredibly important and will provide
additional protections to our men and women in uniform.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, 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. Mr. Speaker, I first want to thank Chairman McKeon and
Ranking Member Smith for their work on this bill. The NDAA gets done
year after year not because it is easy but because it is absolutely
critical to our national security, and it is absolutely critical to
honoring and supporting our men and women in uniform who have put
themselves in harm's way every day to keep our Nation safe.
Mr. Speaker, this year I am particularly proud of what Chairman
Thornberry and I were able to accomplish in the Intelligence, Emerging
Threats and Capabilities Subcommittee. I thank Mr. Thornberry for his
partnership, especially on issues relating to intelligence and
cybersecurity issues, and I congratulate him on becoming the incoming
chairman of the full committee.
This bill supports important investments in areas from emerging
technologies such as electric weapons, including railguns and lasers,
to broad-based R&D that will support the next generation of disruptive
technologies and to the STEM education efforts that will inspire the
innovators of the future.
It will also strengthen DOD's cybersecurity posture by identifying
the tools needed to recruit and retain a qualified workforce, further
our understanding of the threats we face in cyberspace, enable access
to test and training ranges, and provide for operational and ready
force. It extends critically needed special operations authorities
while working to combat the alarmingly high rate of suicide among our
Nation's special operators. Finally it strongly supports the critical
undersea programs such as the Virginia-class submarines that continue
to be so important to our security.
I also applaud the inclusion of language to address economic or
industrial espionage in the United States. Earlier this year I
successfully advocated for efforts to understand how we as a nation
should diagnose and respond to economic warfare, which is abetted on a
large scale by the freedom of cyberspace and is an insidious and
pervasive threat to our national well-being.
I also note the valuable inclusion not just of public lands
legislation important in my home State of Rhode Island but also the
Federal Information Technology Acquisition Reform Act. While more must
be done to address our challenges in cyberspace, this long-needed
update to existing law is important progress.
With that, again, I applaud the chairman, the ranking member, and the
committee, especially the staff, for their efforts, and I urge support
of the legislation.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 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. Speaker, I rise in support of this bill, which
provides our men and women in uniform the equipment and training they
need to get their jobs done. I wish to thank my esteemed colleague and
ranking member from Guam, Madeleine Bordallo, and all the members of
the subcommittee for their great efforts.
Mr. Speaker, this bill accomplishes three important national security
and military readiness imperatives. First, it prohibits DOD from
conducting another base realignment and closure round at a time when
our national security strategy is in flux, our requirements uncertain,
and the future unclear. We have asked the military to simultaneously
draw down operations in Afghanistan, build partnership capacity in the
Asia Pacific, and execute operations in Iraq. We should not divert
their attention away from these important missions to pursue ill-
advised objectives driven by budgets rather than sound strategy.
Second, we have increased funding to more than $1 billion to pay for
critical operation and maintenance activities, including depot
maintenance, ship and aircraft sustainment, and basic and advanced
training for our troops. This bill also funds the refueling and
overhaul of CVN 73, National Guard training center rotations lost due
to sequestration, critically needed upgrades for our training ranges,
long overdue military construction projects, and delayed facility
sustainment and modernization requirements.
Finally, this bill funds our Nation's most pressing missions,
including those focused on support for our European allies against
increasing Russian aggression and fighting ISIS in Iraq and Syria.
As I close I wish to join my colleagues in congratulating Chairman
McKeon for getting this bill across the finish line and for his
exemplary service to our soldiers, sailors, marines, and airmen.
Mr. Chairman, everyone acknowledges your formidable record on defense
policy and your leadership of this committee, but I want to recognize
another legacy that shouldn't be overlooked. As Members of Congress, we
have no greater responsibility than to be the leading advocate and
voice in this Chamber for our constituents. Without question, Mr.
Chairman, you have done your duty for the people of the 25th District.
It is an honor to serve with you. I wish you fair winds and following
seas, and may God bless you, your family, and our great Nation.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the
gentlewoman from Guam (Ms. Bordallo), the ranking member of the
Readiness Subcommittee.
Ms. BORDALLO. Thank you, Ranking Member Smith.
Mr. Speaker, I rise in full support of the FY15 NDAA.
As the ranking member of the Readiness Subcommittee, I appreciate
that the bill provides our men and women in uniform with the resources
they need to remain trained, equipped, and ready to execute the full
range of missions and operations that face our modern military.
In particular, Mr. Speaker, the bill is a significant improvement
over the House-passed measure and restores $818 million in cuts to the
baseline operations and maintenance account. These funds will ensure
that necessary repairs and upgrades to airfields and other mission-
critical facilities occur. Among many other important provisions the
bill also provides an additional $23 million for two additional combat
training center rotations for the Army National Guard.
Mr. Speaker, this bill finally lifts the restrictions on the
obligation and expenditure of Government of Japan direct contributions
and U.S. military construction funds that directly support the
realignment of Marines from Okinawa to Guam. Finally, Mr. Speaker, we
can say that the military buildup on Guam is back on track, and this
critical component of our rebalanced strategy will begin in earnest
soon.
Over the past year there has been significant progress on the
realignment, including the signing of a landfill permit by the Okinawan
governor, the completion of a draft supplemental EIS document on Guam,
and the delivery of a master plan to Congress. The actions we take in
this bill fulfill the U.S. Congress' obligation to keep this progress
on track. More importantly, we finally demonstrate to our allies in
Japan that we value their leadership and role in moving this
realignment forward on their end.
I cannot emphasize this enough: this bill moves the military buildup
forward and is critical to our overall rebalance to the Asia-Pacific
region.
I thank Chairman McKeon, Ranking Member Smith, our readiness
chairman, my chairman, Mr. Rob Wittman, and all the members of the
committee
[[Page H8625]]
for their support. I thank committee staff, particularly Vickie
Plunkett and Brian Garrett, for their hard work. I urge my colleagues
to pass this very important bill.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from
Nevada, Dr. Heck, General Heck, Joe Heck, my friend and colleague, a
member of the Armed Services Committee and chairman of the Oversight
and Investigations Subcommittee.
{time} 1145
Mr. HECK of Nevada. Mr. Speaker, I rise to thank the chairman, the
gentleman from California (Mr. McKeon), for his years of service to the
Nation and this body. He is a great leader, a great friend, and a great
mentor. I wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors, and he
should know he will truly be missed.
I also rise to urge my colleagues to support the Carl Levin and
Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year 2015. Passing this bill is critical to our national security and
for ensuring that our men and women in uniform have the necessary
resources to maintain a high state of readiness.
There are many important personnel-related provisions in this bill,
including combating and preventing sexual assault in the military,
decreasing the suicide rate within our ranks, and finally recognizing
the victims of the 2009 Fort Hood shooting with the Purple Heart.
While I appreciate the continued efforts to prioritize the health and
welfare of our servicemembers, I do want to express my frustration with
the Senate's insistence on including administration proposals to
increase pharmaceutical copays, decrease the housing allowance, and
shortchange our troops on their pay increase. Although fiscal realities
and constrained resources force us to make difficult decisions, now is
not the time to make changes to personnel compensation and benefits.
In last year's NDAA, Congress established the Military Compensation
and Retirement Modernization Commission to evaluate and analyze
potential reforms to pay and benefits and then report back to Congress.
The House bill did not include the administration's proposals because
we reject piecemeal reforms that undermine the work of the Commission.
Any attempts to change pay and benefits before we receive its report,
expected in February of next year, are premature and ill-advised.
I applaud the chairman's successful efforts to prevent even larger
benefit cuts. We can't continue to balance the budget on the backs of
our servicemembers and their families.
My concerns notwithstanding, on the whole, passing the bill is
critical to our national security and providing the authorizations
needed for the Department of Defense to carry out its critical
functions; therefore, I intend to support the bill, urge my colleagues
to do the same, and look forward to addressing the personnel
compensation issues in the next NDAA.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to yield 1 minute
to the gentleman from Washington (Mr. Kilmer).
Mr. KILMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of the 2015 National
Defense Authorization Act. This bill makes needed investments in our
military capability that are critical to the security of our Nation and
of our allies.
I would like to specifically thank the chairman and the ranking
member for their hard work on this bill and specifically for extending
the authorization to pay overtime to public shipyard employees working
on the forward deployed aircraft carrier in Japan; not only would this
authorization allow the carrier to be maintained and returned to the
fleet more quickly, it is also a necessary demonstration of support to
our Federal workers.
Following pay freezes, government shutdowns, and sequestration-
related furloughs, our Federal employees have endured enough hardship.
It is not fair to ask them to leave their families for months on end to
do the same job they do at home and earn less money.
I am grateful that Congress is doing the right thing in this case and
acknowledging that supporting Federal employees and supporting national
security are one and the same.
I thank the chairman and the ranking member for their support of this
provision. I thank them both for their terrific service to this
Congress and to this country.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from
Washington (Mr. Hastings), the chairman of the House Natural Resources
Committee.
Mr. HASTINGS of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for
yielding.
Mr. Speaker, title 30 of the NDAA represents a bipartisan agreement
on provisions under the jurisdiction of the House Natural Resources
Committee and the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. This
agreement represents a balanced approach to public lands management.
It will create thousands of new jobs, support energy and mineral
production, transfer land out of Federal ownership, and protect
treasured lands through the establishment of several locally-supported
parks and wilderness areas.
A few highlights of this agreement include: opening the world's third
largest undeveloped copper resource in Arizona, boosting American
energy production on Federal lands by reducing bureaucratic permit
processing delays, reducing grazing permit backlogs on Federal lands,
and increasing private funding of national parks.
The agreement designates less than 250,000 acres of wilderness. The
designations, however, protect private property and are balanced with
economic development opportunities on other public lands. For example,
the agreement provides for over 110,000 acres of land to be conveyed
out of Federal ownership to be utilized for economic and community
development. It also releases approximately 26,000 acres of current
wilderness study areas.
Additionally, it provides for an unprecedented study of two Montana
wilderness areas, or WSAs, for oil and gas potential. Tremendous credit
goes to Mr. Daines of Montana for securing the thousands of acres of
WSA release and this new energy study. He has broken important new
ground. It includes a number of items important to my district in the
State of Washington.
Lastly, I want to emphasize that all of the bills included in this
agreement have undergone public review in the House or the Senate. It
includes nearly three dozen House-passed suspension bill that have
languished in the Senate.
Mr. Speaker, I want to take my final time here to thank Chairman
McKeon and Ranking Member Smith and their respective staffs for their
work on this. Without that collaboration with my staff, we wouldn't
have gotten this done; and I, too, want to add my congratulations to
Chairman McKeon for his service, well-served to this House and to the
country.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the
gentleman from New York (Mr. Nadler).
Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding.
Mr. Speaker, this bill authorizes training and equipping Syrians and
Iraqis to fight ISIS, authorizes $63 billion for warfighting, and it
does all this without a debate or a vote by Congress to authorize the
use of military force in this conflict; instead, we are still relying
on the obsolete 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force.
This is an evasion of Congress' solemn constitutional responsibility
to the American people to decide on the question of war and peace and
not to leave that to the President alone.
We were told that we would debate these issues after the election.
Now, once again, we sidestep these questions. In the meantime, the
President has begun a bombing campaign of Syria. I don't recall this
Congress ever authorizing a bombing campaign in Syria.
Again, these are questions for Congress, and we must assert our
constitutional power to authorize or reject the use of force in Syria
after a real debate. I, therefore, cannot acquiesce by voting for these
funds.
In addition, this bill continues the shameful prohibition on closing
the detention center at Guantanamo Bay or transferring its inmates to
prisons in the United States. It is beyond shameful that we are holding
prisoners, some of whom are alleged terrorists, for 13 years so far,
without any charges or trial or prospect of trial. This violates every
principle of human rights and
[[Page H8626]]
every principle of American liberty. These prisoners should be charged
and tried and convicted or else released. The bill prohibits this
elementary justice.
I am astonished, frankly, that I would hear on the floor of the
United States Congress, as I did last time we discussed this, someone
say that these people might be acquitted if they were tried; therefore,
they should be held in jail forever because maybe the evidence doesn't
exist that they are, in fact, terrorists, and because someone in the
government--in the all-powerful, all-mighty, all-knowing bureaucracy--
says that an individual is a terrorist, that person must be held in
jail indefinitely because, after all, we don't have the proof. That is
not America.
Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to reject this bill.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from
Missouri (Mrs. Hartzler), a member of the Armed Services Committee.
Mrs. HARTZLER. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of the fiscal year 2015
NDAA, and I want to thank Chairman McKeon and Ranking Member Smith for
bringing this important bill to the floor. I am pleased that Congress
came together in a bicameral, bipartisan effort to pass this critical
bill for the 53rd consecutive year.
This legislation gives our brave troops the resources needed to
combat the national security threats we face as a Nation. This bill
works to provide the necessary tools to our troops, even though we face
a scarcity of funds under sequestration.
I am happy that we were able, I believe, to keep the Apaches with the
National Guard and secure additional funding for the E/A-18 Growlers. I
am particularly pleased that the A-10 will be spared from retirement.
The men and women defending our national security deserve the Nation's
best close air support aircraft, and the A-10 is simply unmatched in
this category.
This bill is a fitting tribute to Chairman McKeon as his final act
leading the House Armed Services Committee. He has been a tireless
advocate for our national defense and our men and women in the
military, and I am honored to have served with him.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the
gentleman from New York (Mr. Engel), the ranking member of the House
Committee on Foreign Affairs.
Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman from Washington for
yielding time to me, and I rise in support of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015. As the ranking member on the
Foreign Affairs Committee, I would like to thank Chairman McKeon and
Ranking Member Smith for working with Chairman Royce and me in a
productive manner on many of the international provisions contained in
title 12 of this legislation.
The State Department and other civilian foreign affairs agencies work
side by side with the U.S. military in protecting the national security
of the United States, and it is very important that our two committees
do the same.
Mr. Speaker, this NDAA underscores the complex challenges and dangers
we confront around the world, in the Middle East, South Asia, Europe,
Africa, and East Asia. There are many important provisions in this
bill, but I would like to take a moment to highlight section 1209,
which would reauthorize the Pentagon's train-and-equip program for the
moderate, vetted Syrian opposition.
For far too long, the moderate opposition in Syria has been waiting
for our support. They are now fighting a three-front war against the
Assad regime, ISIL, and the al Qaeda-backed Nusra front. To defeat ISIL
and create the conditions necessary for a political transition in
Syria, we need the moderate opposition to serve as ``boots on the
ground'' in Syria.
The Free Syrian Army is far from perfect, but they are the best we
have got, and we need to get the train-and-equip program ramped up as
soon as possible.
Mr. Speaker, I would also like to express my support for section 1264
of the legislation, which removes the two main political parties in
Iraqi Kurdistan from the terrorist list. The Kurds are some of our
closest allies in the fight against ISIS, and they should be treated as
such.
Finally, I would like to thank the chairman and ranking member for
including section 1273, which is based on an amendment I offered.
Recent and ongoing conflicts in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Mali, and
other countries have damaged and destroyed countless archeological
sites and historic artifacts that constitute the cultural heritage of
mankind.
My amendment would simply require the Defense Department to report on
their efforts to help protect cultural property in areas of armed
conflict.
Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support the legislation. I thank
Mr. Smith, and I thank Mr. McKeon, and let me just wish Mr. McKeon
Godspeed. He has been a great Member and a good friend. I wish him the
best in the future.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from
Alabama (Mr. Byrne), a member of the House Armed Services Committee.
Mr. BYRNE. Mr. Speaker, I thank the chairman for yielding.
There is no greater responsibility of the Federal Government than to
provide for our national defense. This bill does that.
I am particularly pleased this bill appropriately provides for our
Nation's Navy, including full funding for three littoral combat ships,
which is consistent with the Navy's request. I truly believe the LCS is
a critical component of the future fleet.
I also want to join my colleagues in thanking Chairman McKeon for his
dedicated service to our men and women in uniform and for your great
leadership on the committee. We are losing a true advocate for a strong
national defense, and I want you to know that your leadership will be
sorely missed, but the rest of us who remain will do all we can to
carry on in your tradition.
I urge my colleagues to continue a long tradition of bipartisan
support for the NDAA, and I encourage a ``yes'' vote on this critical
piece of legislation.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the
gentlewoman from California (Ms. Lee).
Ms. LEE of California. Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the gentleman for
his leadership and for yielding me this time.
Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to H.R. 3979, the National Defense
Authorization Act. Congress is considering extending the authority to
train and equip Syrian rebels, despite the fact that we have not yet
had a debate and a vote on an authorization for use of military force
against ISIS; in other words, we are digging ourselves into an
unauthorized war.
Congress is, once again, rushing into another war and allowing the
executive to rely on the blank check of 2001. That is why, quite
frankly, I voted against the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military
Force, which was for perpetual war. I have consistently called for its
repeal and for the repeal of the 2002 AUMF against Iraq.
All of us agree that ISIS is a global threat and must be addressed,
but that does not mean that we replace one blank check with another.
The American people deserve to know the costs and consequences of
engaging in another long-term war in the Middle East.
That is why I have called and will continue to call for Congress to
live up to its constitutional responsibility and have a full debate on
an authorization for any use of military force in Iraq or Syria.
The American people want us to do our job. Unfortunately, once again,
Congress is getting us off of the hook. This bill expands our
involvement in an unauthorized war.
I urge a ``no'' vote.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the distinguished
gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Sanford).
{time} 1200
Mr. SANFORD. Mr. Speaker, I rise reluctantly in opposition to this
bill based on my admiration for you as a chair and for your work--the
committee's work, frankly--in, I think, instituting a great bill that
has important forms in projecting force around the world, in sustaining
troop levels, and in ultimately defending our country.
But I do believe, as was just mentioned by the last speaker, that
there is still a glaring problem in that it continues this process of
ceding power and
[[Page H8627]]
authority from the legislative branch over the executive branch, which
means, for me, as good as this bill is--and I think it is a great
bill--there is still this larger constitutional question about the
balance of power in our system of government at the Federal level.
For me, what I would say is, I don't know how we condemn the
President for taking unilateral action with regard to immigration and
yet endorse a bill that authorizes and offers funds for his ability to
take unilateral actions with regard to war in the Middle East. As has
already been noted, he has burned through his 60 days in the War Powers
Act. There is no declaration of war, and, in this case, there is no
current authorization for these two wars.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my
time.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from
Alabama (Mr. Rogers), my friend and colleague, a member of the Armed
Services Committee and chairman of the Strategic Forces Subcommittee.
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of FY15 NDAA,
and I urge all of my colleagues to do the same.
I want to say congratulations to Chairman Buck McKeon on delivering
the 53rd consecutive NDAA to our men and women and this institution.
This institution will be much worse off for you not being here after
you leave. We thank you and your family for your service to our country
and to this institution.
This bill is replete with important policies that have been clear and
undeniable in their impact on the security of the American people:
It funds the development of a new rocket engine to be available by
2019, which will allow us to responsibly break our dependency on the
Russian engines;
It reduces red tape and bureaucracy at the National Nuclear Security
Administration, which is a critical organization with men and women who
do important work to provide the American people with its only true
security guarantee: its nuclear deterrent;
It introduces commonsense reforms, using public-private partnerships,
to procure commercial satellite services for the military in a more
cost-efficient manner;
It funds critical missile defense cooperation with Israel, and
includes continued direction of coproduction of these capabilities in
the United States with its American workers;
It ensures the administration can not overlook Russia's destabilizing
and provocative arms control cheating, as in the case of the INF
treaty, and it will not allow the administration to continue to cave to
Russian demands on the Open Skies Treaty that pose a direct threat to
our national security.
I urge my colleagues to support this very important piece of
legislation.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I
may consume.
In closing, I want to, first of all, thank all the people who worked
so hard to pull this bill together. The staffs on both the House and
the Senate side do an amazing job that most people do not understand
just how many long hours they put into this.
The process has been made more and more difficult in recent years by
the fact that the Senate either doesn't pass a bill or waits until the
absolute last minute to pass a bill, so then we have to work through
the committee process. So there have been fits and starts back and
forth, and the committee has done a fabulous job. This is a very
lengthy, very complicated piece of legislation. Without the expertise
of our staff, there is no way on Earth we would be able to accomplish
it.
I also want to point out, again, how important this piece of
legislation is. This is the 53rd consecutive year that we have passed
an authorizing bill. I think that recognizes how important national
security is and how it is one of the central duties of the United
States Congress to make sure every year we give the authorities to our
men and women who are serving in the armed services to do the jobs that
we ask them to do. So I thank our staff for that. I really want to
recognize their leadership.
I also want to particularly recognize the leadership of Chairman
McKeon, as this is his last time as chairman and as a Member of
Congress.
Our committee has tried to have two basic core principles: one, we
get our bill done; two, we work in a bipartisan fashion. When you look
around this body today, you have greater appreciation for how difficult
those two things are. We are not naturally bipartisan, and we are not
naturally inclined to pass legislation because there is always
something about any piece of legislation that somebody would prefer to
be just a little bit different. That is not any less true in our bill,
but we recognize the necessity of getting it done.
The ability to do those two things starts with the chair of the
committee. When I arrived here, Floyd Spence was the chairman of the
committee, and he and everyone right up through Ike Skelton, who was
Mr. McKeon's predecessor, have made it a priority to, number one, work
with the other side. Buck, from the very moment he was elected and the
moment I was elected as ranking, reached out to me and made sure that
that bipartisanship started at the top and flowed down throughout the
entire committee.
And the second piece of it is the absolute commitment to getting the
bill done no matter what. Again, Chairman McKeon has just been
outstanding in that regard. It has been a tough, tough, long 4 years.
Many challenges have cropped up, but we have met every one of them and
been able to get the bill done, so I thank him for his leadership.
I also want to thank Chairman Levin on the Senate side, as he is
retiring as well. This is his last year as chairman. He showed a
similar commitment, and he had an even more difficult time over there.
In fact, he and Senator Inhofe had a conversation a couple of days ago
as we were trying to figure out how to do this in which they were
trying to explain to us the Senate rules. I said: Look, I am never
going to understand them. Just don't explain them. There is nothing I
can do about it. That is up to you. You guys figure it out as best you
can. So Senator Levin has shown outstanding leadership as well.
On the whole, I think this is a very good piece of legislation. We
have to remember that we face a wide variety of national security
threats at this point. We still have troops in Afghanistan. We now
again have troops in Iraq. We have North Korea, which is very
unpredictable. We have the challenge of dealing with Iran and all of
its levels. We have Russia and Vladimir Putin that are messing around
in Ukraine and a variety of different other areas. This is probably as
dangerous a time as we have had since the end of the cold war. Our
national security strategy, funding, and the decisions we make could
not possibly be more important.
At the same time, we have a huge budget challenge. We have
sequestration, and we have this rampant desire to cut, cut, cut, cut
everything from government, not contemplate any new revenue, not
contemplate any possibility of spending more money; and our national
security strategy has to try to wrestle with that, so that makes it
very, very difficult.
I will say again what I think is going to be most important in the
next few years. I don't think sequestration is going away. I am going
to continue to argue that it should, but given the majorities in the
House and the Senate and given the last election, it is unlikely to go
away, which means that the military is going to have to live with a
dramatically lower amount of money than they thought they were going to
have. They are also going to have to live with all those national
security challenges that I mentioned and, undoubtedly, a few that I
didn't.
So how do we do that? Right now, unfortunately, Congress is doing it
the old way, which is parochial. We all have an interest. We don't want
our base closed. We have an airplane or a ship that is stationed in our
district or a particular defense contractor that is invested in a
particular piece of equipment. So whenever the Pentagon comes up and
says, ``We need to cut this,'' you have a predictable group of people
who will rally and say, ``Here is why we shouldn't''; and by and large,
the rest of Congress has gone along with that group of people.
I am here to tell you that is just not going to continue to work. It
is not. The very small minor personnel cuts that are in this bill are
things that none of us would have liked to do. We
[[Page H8628]]
would love to have more money, but we don't. On the A-10, on the
retirement of the cruisers and the amphib vehicles--I am sorry, not the
retirement, the refurbishment, the layup of those vehicles--on the
changes to the Guard and Reserve that have been proposed, all of these
are things that we would prefer not to do. But we have the money that
we have, and until this Congress decides to change that and provide
more, it is the absolute worst thing we can do to reject every single
change.
We have had things as minor as a guard unit wanting to move five C-
130s from a base in one State to a base in another and proposals on our
bill to disallow them from doing that because the people in that State
don't want them to be moved. I understand that, but that is not a
sustainable defense strategy in this environment.
We are going to have to make some difficult choices that we don't
want to make if we are going to properly protect our military because,
again, what happens when we don't make those choices, money doesn't
magically appear to pay for these things. The Pentagon has got to
reshuffle the deck and make cuts elsewhere to try to figure out how to
make it work, and the cuts always come from readiness.
We have always said that the worst thing that we can do is create a
hollow force, a force that does not have the training and the equipment
to do the missions that we ask them to do. That is precisely what we do
when we reject reasonable cuts--we don't do a BRAC, for instance--and
leave the military with no choice but to reduce training and equipment,
because that is all that is left. That is the last thing on the table.
So I hope that we will start making some of those tough decisions in
the next year.
Again, I thank the chairman; I thank the staff; I wish Senator Levin
the best in his retirement as well; and I urge passage of the bill.
I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time.
I would, at the outset, like to thank Mr. Smith. I agree with
probably about everything he said. He has been a tremendous partner to
work with. He just had hip surgery a few weeks ago, and in these last
few weeks with all these meetings and all the time and all the effort
he has had to put forth in great pain, I really commend you for your
integrity, for your steadfastness in your commitment to serving your
district, the members of our armed services, and this Nation. It has
been a great experience working with you, and I enjoyed just about
every minute of it.
There are times when we have disagreed, but we have really done that
at a high level and tried to keep it always on the issue, never, never
personal, and it has been great.
I want to join him in thanking our staff. We get all the credit; they
do all the work. Both sides of the aisle, frankly, most of the staff, I
don't know if they are on the minority or the majority side because
they work so closely together. That is just the culture of this
committee, and I am sure it will continue.
As you have heard through other debate, this legislation addresses a
wide variety of policy issues, including supporting operations in
Afghanistan, funding the war against ISIL in Iraq and Syria,
reinforcing our capabilities in the Pacific, and maintaining the
Nation's nuclear deterrent. But many challenges remain.
Next year, the Armed Services Committee will be in excellent hands.
Mr. Thornberry and I have sat next to each other now for 20 years on
the committee. He will be the chairman next year. Mr. Smith will
continue to be the ranking member. They will have their work cut out
for them, but they are more than up to the task. I wish them all the
best because the security of our Nation lies in their hands, along with
all of the members of the committee and all of the Members of this
body.
I hope sometime next year a compromise can come to the floor that
will end sequestration. There isn't a magical solution that Republicans
can support and the President can sign without sacrifice on both sides.
When that solution comes, it will be a tough vote on both sides.
{time} 1215
I pray that our colleagues will hold this one thought in their heart
when that vote comes: remember the great sacrifice that our troops and
their families and loved ones at home are making around the world.
Right now, they are walking in the mountains of Afghanistan. They are
at sea, within missile range of Iran. They are flying wingtip-to-
wingtip against Russian bombers over the North Sea. They are nose-to-
nose with the North Koreans. They are sweating in the equatorial heat
of Africa, fighting a horrible disease. They are standing on the sands
of Iraq, risking everything against a brutal enemy.
They take those risks and they make those sacrifices because of you.
They do it for you. They do it for us, for their families, for their
flag, and for our freedom. How have we repaid them? With equipment that
is falling apart, by laying them off while they are off in war zones,
by docking their pay and their medical benefits, by throwing them out
of the service and onto a broken economy.
I have met our forces on the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan,
dirty and sweaty from fighting. I have watched too many families, as
have all of you, spend long months waiting for those returning from
deployment. I have seen too many heroes put into the ground. They never
failed us, not once, so shame on us if we are unwilling to pay back the
debt we owe them. Shame on all of us, from the White House down, if we
cannot make far less a sacrifice than we ask of them on their behalf.
My road in Congress is coming to an end. It will be up to the next
Congress and the President to make these injustices right. Please show
our troops the respect they deserve. Give them the tools they need.
Help keep them safe. Honor their sacrifice with your service. I know
that you will do the right thing.
I am in the twilight of a 22-year career here in Congress. It has
been mentioned that we passed this bill 53 times. I want to tell you I
was not here for all 53 of those, nor was Adam. He is much younger than
I am. You might think that I have been here 53. It has been the history
of the committee to get this done every year because it so important.
I have come to know many of you as friends and family. To the Armed
Services Committee staff, once again--that is, minority and majority--
you are all veterans, you are professionals, you are tireless, but I
just think of you as the best.
To my personal staff, I did not want to give this speech, not because
I have any regrets, but I just have this problem. Thankfully, the
Speaker has it a lot worse than I do, and he gets all the attention,
but I have the same problem.
We hear a lot about government workers and how we spend money on
government workers and they don't do anything. I just want to tell the
people of America that all of these people that work here spend
countless hours, and they do so much for so many people. I have some
constituent workers at home that have helped thousands of people, and
every one of these government workers here deserve our gratitude and
thanks for all that they do.
I want to thank all my colleagues for the many wonderful things they
have said. I made a comment the other day that my funeral is going to
be somewhat anticlimactic. I have heard speeches saying what a
wonderful person I am. Fortunately, I am old enough that I don't take
any of that personally or too seriously.
I understand that this is a responsibility that was given to me by
colleagues. I have enjoyed it. It has been a great experience, but I
know it is not about me. It is about what we do here.
I want to thank my family. People say, ``Boy, we love your Christmas
card.'' We have 6 children, 30 grandchildren, and now one great-
grandchild, and they are all great. I am going to spend a little bit
more time with them. I think I would like to teach some of my
grandchildren how to fish, if somebody will teach me how to fish.
My wife has stood by my side for 52 years now. She is a tremendous
person who I look up to so much.
Now, I am a McKeon, so that means I am of Irish heritage. I would
like to part with an Irish blessing for all of you:
May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be ever at
your back. May the Sun shine warm upon your face and the rain
fall
[[Page H8629]]
softly on your fields, and until we meet again, may God hold
you in the hollow of his hand.
To this great body and to our troops, wherever you may be, may God
bless you and keep you. May God bless America.
Now, for hopefully the last time, Mr. Speaker, I yield back the
balance of my time.
Mr. SHUSTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015, and would like to address the
following language included in the Joint Explanatory Statement (JES) to
accompany the bill:
As operations in the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility
draw down, there will be reduced demand for airlift.
The CRAF program was created to ensure the nation can address
airlift requirements despite fluctuations in requirements over time.
During this transition back to pre-1990 levels of demand for airlift
services, we believe it is imperative to maintain both organic and
commercial capacities to meet operational demands and unknown future
requirements.
Therefore, we direct the Department of Defense (DOD) to work closely
with CRAF program partners to ensure that DOD establishes ``appropriate
levels for peacetime cargo airlift augmentation in order to promote the
effectiveness of the Civil Reserve Air Fleet and provide training
within the military aircraft system,'' as directed in the National
Airlift Policy.
The Civil Reserve Air Fleet (CRAF) has proven critical to assisting
the Department of Defense (DOD) meet its defense mobilization and
deployment requirements and its humanitarian and disaster relief
missions. For that reason, I support the language included in the JES.
The provision states that it is imperative that airlift requirements
include both organic and commercial capacities to meet operational
demands and unknown future requirements. The JES also directs DOD to
work closely with CRAF program partners to ensure that DOD establishes
``appropriate levels for peacetime cargo airlift augmentation in order
to promote the effectiveness of the Civil Reserve Air Fleet and provide
training within the military aircraft system,'' as directed in the
National Airlift Policy.
Maintaining interoperability between CRAF civil air carriers and DOD
is key to ensuring the military's readiness to respond to both national
and international crises. Therefore, I look forward to working with the
Committee on Armed Services and DOD during the next Congress to ensure
the effectiveness and viability of the CRAF air cargo program.
Ms. VELAZQUEZ. Mr. Speaker, the National Defense Authorization Act of
Fiscal Year 2015 includes several small business sections, including
Section 825 which was taken from my legislation H.R. 2452, The Women's
Procurement Program Equalization Act of 2013. This bill was considered
by the full Small Business Committee, of which I am the Ranking Member,
and passed out by voice vote. This bill is an expansion of the Women's
Procurement Program that was created as a result of legislation that I
authored almost fifteen years ago and was passed by Congress in 2000.
It increases the opportunities for legitimate women-owned small
businesses to participate in the Federal marketplace and increase their
share of federally awarded dollars. The legislation creates a level
playing field between the existing small business government
contracting programs under the Small Business Act by allowing
contracting officers to award contracts to these businesses through a
sole source mechanism, similar to those that exist for the HUBZone and
Service-Disabled Veterans programs. Additionally, the language of the
legislation eliminates the ability for businesses to self-certify for
the Women's Procurement Program, thereby reducing the potential for
fraud and increasing the dollars that genuine small businesses receive.
As the author of the provisions, I would like to provide some
background to be taken into consideration as we move forward to
implement the legislation.
The number and economic contributions of women-owned firms continue
to grow. For example, the rate of growth in the number of women-owned
enterprises over the past 16 years remains higher than the national
average. Between 1997 and 2013, when the number of businesses in the
U.S. increased by 41%, women-owned firms grew by 59%--about 1\1/2\
times the national average. Furthermore, over the past six years, since
the depth of the U.S. recession, privately held majority women-owned
firms have provided a net increase in employment.
Yet, during this time women-owned small businesses continue to face
challenges in the Federal marketplace. In 1994, the Federal government
established a five percent procurement goal for women-owned businesses.
However, twenty years later that goal has never been achieved. In FY
2013 year, women-owned small businesses received $15.4 billion, or 4.33
percent of contracting dollars, missing their goal by 3 percent--a loss
of over $2.6 billion. It has been estimated that if women-owned small
businesses received their 5 percent of the market, more than 673,000
jobs could be created; thus, not only helping their business but also
the national economy.
One of the primary obstacles facing women-owned businesses that wish
to do business with the government was the failure to implement for 10
years the section 8(m) of the Small Business Act, the Women's
Procurement Program. That obstacle was removed in 2011 when the final
regulations for the Program were released and implemented. Through this
program, women-owned small businesses are eligible for contracts
through restricted competition in eighty-three industries that have
historically had underutilization of women-owned businesses.
Nonetheless, three years after its implementation we have seen little
improvement in awards to these businesses as the mechanisms currently
at the disposal of contracting officers are limited compared to other
programs. While other program participants regularly receive in the
billions of Federal contracting dollars, since its implementation this
program has seen awards only in the millions. In FY2013, the government
only awarded 1,249 contracts worth $101.1 million, approximately 0.120%
of small business dollars and 0.021% of all contracting dollars,
through the Women's Procurement Program's existing mechanisms. Thus,
changes are necessary to increase the participation of this group of
businesses and ensure that they receive their fair share of contracting
dollars.
The regulations of the program currently allow for either self-
certification or third-party certification. Because of the lack of
involvement in the certification, there is a high likelihood of fraud
In numerous reports, GAO has highlighted these issues of fraud in other
self-certification programs like the service-disabled veteran-owned
small business program That program has seen several millions of
dollars awarded to companies who self-certified they met program
criteria when they were filing misleading or false statements to
contracting officers in order to qualify for the contracts. This has
made contracting officers weary of award to businesses as they are
required to review self-certifications and determine their validity,
taking them away from the other contracts they oversee. Also, in the
implementation of the self-certification of the Women's Procurement
Program, SBA requested only 1 million dollars to fund the document
repository, eligibility examinations, as well as processing protests.
Yet, the agency has not subsequently requested additional funds to
maintain and provide oversight for these items further increasing the
potential for fraudulent actions.
The bill, therefore, requires that businesses be certified by the
Small Business Administration (SBA), among other entities. This ensures
that the entity charged with determining the size of a business, SBA,
has full control of the certification process. This provision puts the
program on par with other small business contracting programs such as
the 8(a) Business Development Program and the HUBZone program that rely
on SBA certification. By having their own certification departments,
the agency has been able to stop many ineligible businesses from
entering their programs due to the vast amount of resources and
manpower it has compared to other certifying entities. With these
tools, SBA has the ability to provide greater oversight and quality
control over the certification process.
Additionally, the bill eliminates the self-certification mechanism in
the program. Removing this provision allows contracting officers the
ability to focus on awarding contracts and limits fraudulent businesses
from entering the program. While some may argue that the program will
not function as a result of this change, this is not the case as the
law still allows for certification from third-party certifiers.
The provisions in this subsection will increase the mechanisms
available to contracting officers for awarding contracts through this
program and equalize the small business programs by providing the
ability for award of sole source contracts to women-owned small
businesses. Currently, the Women's Procurement Program is the only
small business contracting program under the Small Business Act that
does not allow the award of sole source contracts. The provision would
thus level the playing field between the small businesses groups and
ensure equal participation when possible as well as more opportunities
to award women-owned small business contracts than are currently
available.
However, it is important to note that this bill and H.R. 2452 both
retain the so-called ``Rule of Two'' in which sole source mechanisms
can only be used if there is not a reasonable expectation that two or
more businesses in the small business group will compete for award. The
rule exists in all set-aside programs and while there have been calls
by some to eliminate it, nothing in the language of this bill or
[[Page H8630]]
the underlying bill should be taken to support that proposition. The
Rule of Two plays a vital part in not only allowing more small
businesses to participate in the Federal marketplace but also by
providing the government the best value from its vendors. Furthermore,
this has been the lynchpin in guarding against challenges of the
constitutionality of these set-aside programs.
This subsection requires for detailed reporting on contracts awarded
by sole source contracts to women-owned small businesses. This is to
increase the transparency of the award of these contracts, provide
better oversight, and determine why certain industries do not receive
these contracts so as to better focus outreach efforts.
In the implementation of these provisions, it is vital that there is
no delay by the Small Business Administration (SBA). Regulations for
the sole source provision should be enacted immediately and must be
completed within 90 days. Additional regulations associated with this
section should be released when ready and not held for completion of
the entirety of the section's regulations. It is imperative that small
businesses are involved in developing the regulations through outreach
meetings and that their input is taken into consideration during the
drafting process. Additionally, SBA should present draft regulations to
the Committee on Small Business of the House of Representatives arid
the Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship of the Senate and
have regularly briefings to update the Committees on the progress of
implementation of this section. When the regulations are released, the
SBA should conduct outreach with relevant stakeholders, such as
contracting officers and Offices of Small Disadvantaged Business
Utilization, about how the new tools can be used to maximize women-
owned small business participation at individual agencies.
Regarding certification provisions, it is of the upmost importance
and the number one priority to prevent fraud, waste, and abuse in small
business contracting and ensure only qualified women-owned small
businesses enter the Women's Procurement Program. These businesses have
been put at a disadvantage in the Federal marketplace for many years,
and their ability to compete and receive their fair share of
contracting dollars should not be diminished due to awards to
unscrupulous businesses looking to cheat the system. Therefore, we
fully expect the SBA to implement a robust certification program and to
request full funding for such in their annual budget submission in
February. The original intent of the authorizing legislation passed in
2000 for the Women's Procurement Program was to have the SBA conducting
the certification process. However, the agency did not follow through
with this intent. By statute, the SBA is the only entity capable of
making a size determination. While properly approved third-party
certifiers will play an import role in determining eligibility for this
program, the agency should not rely solely on such entities to make
certification decisions as to a business's eligibility. Therefore, the
intent of this legislation is to reiterate that the SBA must create its
own certification process to ensure a properly functioning program.
In the interim, the SBA should work with the other certifying
entities to manage the increased number of applicants as a result of
the loss of self-certification. Furthermore, SBA should approve and
ramp in additional third-party certifiers in order to prevent a backlog
of applications. In expanding the pool of certifiers, SBA should
utilize the same process it used in selecting previous third-party
certifiers. SBA must also create safeguard mechanisms in this
certification process to limit the opportunity of fraudulent businesses
to enter the program. In particular, protections should be put into
place to prevent businesses from shopping around for a third-party
certifier that will verify the company after they have already been
determined to be ineligible for the program. Yet, after a reasonable
time has passed, businesses should be allowed to reapply for the
program to demonstrate that they have made corrective action on their
eligibility requirements. SBA should also conduct random quality
control checks on third-party certifiers to ensure that their process
adheres to certification guidelines and has precautions to limit fraud,
waste, and abuse.
However, it is important to note that while we are requesting
additional third-party certifiers and safeguards to handle the influx
of applicants to the program, these measures do not release SBA from
its obligation to create its own program. As previously stated, we
fully expect that the SBA create its own certification program within
the agency within the next year.
Inclusion of Section 825 of the NDAA will ensure maximum and equal
participation by women-owned small business in the Federal marketplace
by providing a contracting mechanism available to other small business
contracting programs and reduce the ability of fraud to enter the
program by providing proper certification oversight.
Ms. BORDALLO. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015, which provides for concurrence
to the Senate amendment to H.R. 3979, the text of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015. I appreciate the efforts of
Chairman Buck McKeon, Ranking Member Adam Smith, Chairman Carl Levin,
and Ranking Member Jim Inhofe for their work to ensure we have a
compromise package that keeps our 53 year streak of passing defense
authorization bills alive. It is unfortunate that the Senate was unable
to proceed under regular order to complete its defense bill, which
would have allowed for a true Conference Committee to negotiate
outcomes. Nevertheless, while this compromise package is not perfect,
it does contain many elements that are critical for supporting our
service members and our nation's defense posture.
This year's defense bill builds off the progress made last year on
the realignment of Marines from Okinawa to Guam. The bill removes any
restriction on the obligation and expenditure of Government of Japan
and U.S. military construction funds for projects related to the
realignment. Removal of the restrictions ensures that the realignment
of Marines from Okinawa to Guam is back on track. While I have concerns
about the precedence of putting a cost cap on the entire realignment
program, the overall outcome in this bill is very positive. The U.S. is
finally living up to its commitment under the Guam International
Agreement, as amended in 2012.
Over the past year, there has been significant progress in Japan and
in the United States regarding this relocation effort. Of greatest
importance was the Okinawan Governor's signing of a landfill permit on
December 27, 2014. The signing of the landfill permit, under the
original agreement, signaled so-called ``tangible progress'' on the
Japanese side for the development of the Futenma Replacement Facility
in the Henoko area of Okinawa. It took decades to reach this milestone,
but last December, the Governor signed the permit which allows for the
beginning of construction of a new runway and replacement facility.
Furthermore, the Department of Defense (DoD) released its draft
supplemental environmental impact statement (DSEIS) for the Marine
Corps main cantonment area and live-fire training complex on Guam
earlier this spring. The DoD is now developing a final EIS with the
intent of signing a record of decision early next spring. DoD also
finally submitted a master plan to Congress that outlined the cost of
the Marine realignment and provided the fidelity that Congress was
seeking on a wide range of details about the relocation effort. All
these together enabled us to prevail in Conference Committee and
eliminate all the restrictions.
Our alliance with Japan is the cornerstone of peace and stability in
the Asia-Pacific region. We have shared values economically and in
security matters. It was critical that we uphold our end of the
agreement this year. The bill finally makes good on our commitment and
helps to further strengthen our relationship.
Unfortunately, this bill does not provide authorization for
operations and maintenance funds to support civilian infrastructure
requirements on Guam. There is a historical context for DoD providing
local governments with support for civilian infrastructure
requirements, like at Kings Bay, Georgia and Bangor, Washington, and I
fundamental disagree with the opposition to this funding because it
will support our military servicemembers. It is important to ensure
that local infrastructure is able to support and sustain the additional
military presence on Guam, and I believe the time is right to make
these investments now, so that when Marines arrive on Guam, the overall
island infrastructure is ready. I will continue to work with my House
colleagues and the Senate to advocate for authorizing previously
appropriated funds in future years.
I also greatly support the additional $1.148 million in funding for
the Sea Cadet Corps program. This funding is in addition to $1.7
million that was programmed by the U.S. Navy in the Fiscal Year 2015
budget. The Sea Cadet program facilitates professional development for
almost 9,000 Sea Cadets aged 11-17, in 387 units across the country.
The Naval Sea Cadet Corps instills in every Cadet a sense of
patriotism, courage and the foundation of personal honor, and it has
significance in assisting to promote the Navy and Coast Guard,
particularly in those areas of the U.S. where these Services have
little presence.
Finally, I have some concerns about the provision that changes how
the Directors of the Army and Air National Guard are appointed in the
Department of Defense. A cohesive leadership team is essential to the
productivity of any military organization. The Conference version of
this provision is an improvement but still leaves much to be desired
and the possibility that this process will continue to be abused.
[[Page H8631]]
Currently, the Chief of the National Guard Bureau (CNGB) is not by
statute or by regulation part of the selection process for his own
leadership team and yet, the CNGB is the Department of Defense's
official channel of communication regarding all matters relating to the
National Guard, the Governors and State Adjutants General. As the
National Guard Bureau is now a joint activity of the Department of
Defense, the Chief's responsibilities within the Department of Defense
and to the Secretary and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff have
grown. The CNGB should be allowed to create a leadership team that can
provide unified representation of the National Guard within the
Department of Defense and before Congress.
The provision will now only require consultation with the CNGB on the
appointment of the Director and Deputy Directors of the Army and Air
National Guard. There is a significant difference between consultation
and giving the CNGB the authority he or she needs to have an effective
and cohesive leadership team. We cannot neglect the importance of
professional experience, knowledge, and understanding in our leadership
positions. As a seasoned Guard member, the CNGB possesses a distinct
perspective that can accurately identify the appropriate skill sets
essential to fulfilling the requirements of senior level officers
within the National Guard. We must remember that our National Guard
fulfills a unique dual-hated role in meeting their Title 10
responsibilities for federal missions and a state role in supporting
disaster relief and homeland defense. The CNGB is in the perfect
position to best understand how to balance these sometimes competing
paradigms and is best positioned to ensure that these Army and Air
National Guard leadership teams can execute and balance these
requirements in their role at NGB and in working with the Army and Air
Force.
The reason this provision did not achieve our ultimate goals is
routed in the antiquated way in which many senior leaders in DoD still
view the role of the National Guard. When legislation asking for the
Chief to be included in recommending his own staff meets such vocal
opposition, it becomes easier to understand just how hard it is for the
National Guard within the Service and Pentagon decision making
processes and why there is discord on key initiatives. The Congress and
both Presidents Bush and Obama have elevated the CNGB to a four-star
position, also placing the Chief on the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The
empowerment of the National Guard was critical to ensuring that our
nation's leaders had direct guidance and input on the capabilities that
the National Guard can bring to the table in solving a wide range of
national security challenges and allows for better coordination of
federal and state homeland missions and response. However, the current
process of choosing the Director and Deputy Directors of the Army and
Air National Guard has been used to leave the CNGB out of the process
and push personalities rather than individuals with the joint
capabilities to make the entire organization function within its new
roles and missions. As such, I will continue to work with my colleagues
to watch implementation of this provision and ensure that it is not
abused by each respective service and work to improve this provision in
future years.
The defense bill is a year long process and is put together with the
help and assistance of our outstanding staff. In particular, I
appreciate the hard work and coordination of the entire House and
Senate Armed Services staffs. I support this bill and urge my
colleagues to pass this measure.
Mr. WITTMAN. Mr. Speaker, I applaud today's House passage of H.R.
3979, the Carl Levin and Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense
Authorization Act (NDAA) for FY 2015 which extends our strong
commitment to our military. With growing threats around the world it is
critical that we ensure our men and women in uniform are equipped and
trained to get their jobs done to defend America. While passage of the
defense bill is critical to protecting our national security, I am
concerned with several provisions relating to military compensation and
allowances.
Our nation's veterans and service members deserve our enduring
commitment to maintain the disability, health, education and other
benefits they have earned. I applaud Chairman McKeon and the House of
Representatives for standing against the Senate and Department of
Defense (DoD) proposal to significantly increase pharmacy copays and
reduce the basic housing allowance. The Senate supported DoD's proposal
to significantly increase pharmacy copays and cut the housing allowance
by five percent. Under the Administration and Senate proposal, pharmacy
copay rates for generic drugs would have increased each year up to $14.
The compromise adopted today by the House would limit select pharmacy
copays to a $3 increase for one year, which is only $2 more than the $1
increase that DOD is allowed to do under the current law. The cost for
mail-order generic drugs would remain $0. The final bill's basic
allowance for housing only includes a one percent decrease, which is a
better option than the Senate's proposal to cut it by five percent.
Due to the House's determination and leadership in fighting against
unreasonable changes, the FY15 NDAA avoids significant reductions in
compensation. I agree with Vice Adm. Norb Ryan (USN-Ret), President of
the Military Officers Association of America (MOAA), when he said that,
``With time running out, it would have been easy for the House to just
cave to the Senate'' and that the work of the House ``helped blunt the
blow to military families and retired beneficiaries.''
However, without comprehensive review and recommendations from the
Military Compensation and Retirement Modernization Commission report,
it is premature to adjust the benefits of service members or their
families. While I object to any reduction in service members or
veterans benefits, today's passage of the defense bill is critical to
our national security, and I will continue to support our service
members, veterans and military families.
Mr. CICILLINE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to express my support for
various provisions of the Senate's Amendment to the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015. While the underlying bill will
strengthen our national defense and benefit my home state of Rhode
Island, ultimately I was unable to support it because it contained a
provision to extend for two years the training and arming of Syrian
rebels, a program that shows little evidence it will be successful and
may well be the first step toward direct U.S. involvement in the Syrian
Civil War. Without this provision, I would have been proud to cast my
vote in favor of this legislation. However, after voting only two
months ago against a temporary authorization to train and arm Syrian
rebels, I could not, in good conscience, vote for a bill to commit more
U.S. resources and increased military involvement in an unwise program
that presents the danger of deepening our involvement in a sectarian
civil war.
The agreement that passed today included the designation of the
Blackstone River Valley in Rhode Island and Massachusetts, the
birthplace of the American Industrial Revolution, as a National Park.
As the lead sponsor of the House bill creating the Blackstone National
Park, it is an issue for which I have fought throughout my time in
Congress. In addition, this agreement authorizes robust funding for the
continued construction of the Virginia Class Submarine, which employs
more than 3,400 jobs in my home state. It includes a one percent pay
increase for members of our Armed Forces, provides additional funding
for psychological and behavioral health for servicemembers, strengthens
our nation's cybersecurity capabilities, and strengthens our
relationship with Israel through significant funding for the Iron Dome
missile defense program. Finally, this agreement makes great strides in
combatting sexual assault in our Armed Forces by eliminating the ``good
soldier defense'', and assessing a commanding officer's handling of
sexual assault cases as part of his or her performance evaluation. I
strongly support all of these provisions.
Unfortunately, with the inclusion of language authorizing military
involvement in Syria, I believe that this legislation places the United
States on a dangerous path that could lead to the engagement of our
troops in yet another endless war in the region, an act that the
American people have made very clear they oppose. I remain concerned
that this program will be difficult to carry out, impossible to
effectively evaluate and monitor, and that there is a lack of a clear
end-game. In November of this year, the Washington Post reported that
U.S. trained Syrian rebels were routed by the al Qaeda affiliated rebel
fighters. Reports indicated mass surrenders and defections by U.S.
trained rebels, as well as significant amounts of U.S. supplied weapons
falling into the hands of terrorists. It should be noted that earlier
this year, the CIA expressed doubts about the effectiveness of training
and equipping rebel forces, citing unsuccessful attempts to do so in
the past in countries such as Nicaragua and Somalia.
Additionally, there is no explicit limit to the amount of money
authorized for this program, rather, this bill allows the
Administration to tap into the nearly $64 billion in Overseas
Contingency Operations Funds authorized for the wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan. These funds are not only exempt from statutory budget
caps, but the bill provides no limit for the amount of funds that may
be reprogrammed for these operations. This would be in addition to the
$500 million spent on this program since September. These are federal
dollars that we should invest in our priorities we face here at home,
such as rebuilding our roads and bridges, improving our education
system, and investing in the creation of jobs.
When this policy was authorized for three months in September of
this year, it received rigorous debate on the House floor before it was
included in the Continuing Resolution. However, this two year
reauthorization is
[[Page H8632]]
being included in essential legislation, which totals more than 1,600
pages, without any debate under a closed rule. I believe that we are
moving forward with this policy without a clear understanding of with
whom we are partnering, and without a clearly defined goal or an
articulated strategy for achieving these goals. Without this
understanding, I remain gravely concerned that this two year extension
could be the first step into wider, more entrenched involvement in yet
another war in the Middle East.
Instead, we should be placing our focus on building a stable
government in Iraq, a policy that must include ensuring they have the
support they need to prevent the spread of the Islamic State. Indeed,
the Iraqis have made great strides in stabilizing their government and
unifying fractious segments of their population. This week, the Iraqi
government signed an historic agreement with its autonomous Kurdish
region in which the two sides agreed to share oil revenues, and will
allow for greater cooperation in equipping Kurdish pesh merga forces in
combatting the Islamic State. We should continue to press the new Iraqi
government to fulfill its responsibility to defeat the Islamic State
and maintain a viable and inclusive government.
We have been and will continue to be a leader in the world's fight
against terrorism and those who wish to harm this country. But we
should not allow our responsibility to defeat terrorism draw us into an
unwise, expensive, and risky military engagement in the Middle East.
Because of my grave concerns about moving forward with a hasty and in
my view incomplete program to arm rebels in Syria, despite the other
favorable provisions included in this legislation, I could not vote in
favor of its passage.
Mr. JOLLY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to reluctantly oppose the
National Defense Authorization Act, both because we as a Congress and
the President have failed to honor our men and women in uniform by
properly recognizing and authorizing the current actions against ISIS,
and because this legislation wrongly begins to roll back the pay and
benefits our service members rightfully deserve.
Its been nearly two months since the President announced his military
campaign against ISIS. Our military has flown thousands of sorties and
we have thousands of our men and women in uniform with their boots on
the ground. The President calls them military advisors but they are
Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines. We are engaged against an enemy
that has taken American lives, and enemy that has said they want to
penetrate our homeland, an enemy the President has identified by name
and declared that our national strategy is to destroy this enemy.
And yet the President has yet to propose an Authorization to Use
Military Force, and this body has yet to bring one up. We each have
failed in our Constitutional responsibility to have an honest debate
about whether we are a nation indeed at war, and whether we are a
nation prepared to accept the human sacrifice that comes from conflict,
and very importantly how we as a nation will responsibly pay for this
conflict.
Instead, we have considered only the President's proposal to arm
moderate Syrians--an elusive strategy that will do little to combat the
war on ISIS, only complicates our geo-political strategy as it relates
to Syria, Iran, Russia and other hostile nations, and a strategy most
likely to fail.
Two months ago we had a debate over approving the Presidents strategy
to arm and train Syrian rebels, but not a broad Authorization to Use
Military Force as we should have. I voted against the President's plan
then, and today I most reluctantly rise to oppose this National Defense
Authorization Act because quietly tucked into this legislation is a
renewal of this authority for two years. While our men and women in
uniform continue to commit their lives to fighting our enemy and
protect our homeland, we quietly approved for two years the weakest
part of an already questionable military strategy.
To make matters worse, the President and the Senate included in this
legislation a cut to the housing allowance for our military, and
increase in pharmaceutical co-pays, and a rejection to the pay
increased proposed by this House of 1.8%.
This is wrong.
Earlier this summer, this body passed a National Defense
Authorization Act that rejected the President's proposals. Our body
rejected the President's proposed pay increase of 1% and instead passed
a raise of 1.8%. We rejected the President's proposal to require a 5%
reduction in personnel housing allowance, we rejected changes to the
commissary program that would increase costs on military families, and
we rejected new pharmaceutical copays proposed by the President. I was
pleased to vote for this measure because it was right for our men and
women in uniform, it recognized their sacrifices by rejecting proposals
that would have had a significant negative impact on the quality of
life of those who serve us every day.
Despite our efforts, the President and the Senate prevailed in
implementing these cuts through this legislation--and most insultingly,
at a time when we are asking our military to confront ISIS and tenor
elements around the globe, and at a time when the Commander in Chief
has decided it important to commit military troops to battle the
scourge of Ebola.
This President and this Congress can do better. We should vote down
this measure, return to negotiations with the President and the Senate,
and do what is right for our men and women in uniform and what is
required of this Congress Constitutionally--to debate and decide if we
are today a nation at war with ISIS and if we are a nation with a
clearly defined strategy that will be effective in combatting this
growing threat to our national security.
Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to reject this measure and demand
better.
Mr. PAULSEN. Mr. Speaker, I want to thank Chairman McKeon and Ranking
Member Smith for their work on the NDAA. I also want to thank Chairman
Hastings and Ranking Member DeFazio for their work on the Public Lands
portion of the bill.
Included in this bipartisan, bicameral legislation is my bill to
allow the Department of Treasury to authorize the minting of a series
of commemorative coins to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the
National Park Service in 2016.
Our national parks are America's crown jewels and our greatest
natural resources that deserve to be celebrated and preserved, so
future generations can enjoy the beauty and history of our country.
Today, the National Park Service comprises 401 areas, covering more
than 84 million acres in every state, DC, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto
Rico, and the Virgin Islands. Minnesota is home to 5 national parks
that are visited by more than 650,000 people each year and they
contribute $34 million to the economy.
I grew up in a family that often vacationed in our National Parks.
And I've carried on this tradition with my four daughters and wife,
where we enjoy camping, hiking, fishing and seeing America's beauty.
Just this past August we camped in Glacier National Park--one of the
girls' favorites.
Proceeds from this commemorative coin program would go to the
National Park Foundation, which is responsible for preserving and
protecting resources under the stewardship of the National Park Service
and promoting public enjoyment and appreciation of those resources.
These funds will be critical to prepare for the celebration of the
centennial. I want to emphasize that this bill will not cost the
taxpayers money.
This is an important step to help us honor our country's important
heritage. I look forward to its passage and appreciate its inclusion in
this bill.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. All time for debate has expired.
Pursuant to House Resolution 770, the previous question is ordered.
The question is on the motion by the gentleman from California (Mr.
McKeon).
The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that
the ayes appeared to have it.
Mr. McKEON. Mr. Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays.
The yeas and nays were ordered.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the order of the House of today,
further proceedings on this question will be postponed.
