TITLE VIII--ACQUISITION POLICY, ACQUISITION MANAGEMENT, AND RELATED
MATTERS

SEC. 800. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE DESIRED TENETS OF THE
DEFENSE ACQUISITION SYSTEM.

(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) The Committee on Armed Services of the House of
Representatives held a series of hearings in 2013, 2014, and
2015 gathering testimony from key acquisition leaders and
experts. It is clear that the acquisition reform efforts of
the last 50 years continue to founder because they fail to
address the motivational and environmental factors in which
they must be implemented. The acquisition system, though
frustrating to all, is in one sense in equilibrium. The
acquisition system provides enough benefits to proponents and
opponents to continue, with only minor changes, despite its
shortcomings.
(2) The Armed Forces continue to pursue too many defense
acquisitions, chasing too few dollars. Consequently, there
remains a vast difference between the budgeting plans of the
Department and the reality of the cost of its systems or the
services it acquires.
(3) To keep programs alive, the Department develops and
Congress accepts fragile acquisition strategies that downplay
technical issues and assume only successful outcomes from
high-risk efforts. As a result, the Department often ends up
with too few weapons, with performance that falls short, that
are difficult and costly to maintain, delivered late at too
high a cost. Congressional and Department of Defense
leadership have limited insight into the services acquired or
what services need to be acquired in the future. Furthermore,
the conventional acquisition process is not agile enough for
today's demands. Finally, the Department of Defense continues
to struggle with financial management and auditability,
affecting its ability to control costs, ensure basic
accountability, anticipate future costs and claims on the
budget, and measure performance.
(4) Too often today, all stakeholders in the Department of
Defense, Congress, and industry, accept that--
(A) for the acquisition process, success is defined as
maximizing technical performance or protecting organizational
interests, without regard to funding disruptions and delivery
delays of needed capability or services to the warfighter;
and
(B) the acquisition process is--
(i) reactive, meaning issues are addressed late and at
great cost only after problems are realized;
(ii) plodding, meaning the bureaucratic processes are
sclerotic and cumbersome;
(iii) opaque, meaning that limiting information is
necessary to protect programs; and
(iv) traditional, meaning that customary approaches and
suppliers are preferred over perceived risk of new or unique
concepts and vendors.
(5) Today, the United States is at a cross-roads, and if
changes to the acquisition system are not made soon, the
trend of fewer and more costly systems and services that fall
short of the needs of the Armed Forces will continue.
Congress, the Department of Defense, and industry all have a
stake in making positive changes. Each plays a role in
contributing to the current system. Each gains benefits from
that system, but each is frustrated by it as well.
(6) The acquisition improvement effort of the Committee on
Armed Services of the House of Representatives proposes a
different approach from previous efforts by seeking to
improve the environment (i.e., statutes, regulations,
processes, and culture) driving acquisition decisions in the
Department of Defense, industry, and Congress. The Committee
has solicited input from industry and the Department of
Defense, as well as others in Congress, and will continue to
do so. The Committee recognizes that there are no ``silver
bullets'' that can immediately fix the current acquisition
system in a holistic and long-standing manner. Therefore, the
reform effort will be an ongoing and iterative process that
will result in legislation not only this year, but will be
embedded in the Committee's annual and regular work.
(b) Sense of Congress on the Tenets of an Improved
Acquisition System.--It is the sense of Congress that all
stakeholders in the acquisition system--the Department of
Defense, Congress, and industry--should be governed by the
following tenets:
(1) Success.--Success in the acquisition system means the
timely delivery of affordable and effective military
equipment and services.
(2) Proactive.--The acquisition system should be proactive,
meaning--
(A) the system should recognize that development and
acquisition problems can occur; and
(B) officials at all levels should be empowered to solve
problems and reduce risks by surfacing issues early and
honestly and taking action to resolve them.
(3) Agile.--The acquisition system should be agile, meaning
that needed program adjustments to both respond to emerging
threats and the rapid pace of technological change and to
address development or production issues should be proposed
and adjudicated quickly.
(4) Transparent.--The acquisition system should be
transparent, meaning that--
(A) all decision makers should be given useful, relevant,
credible, and reliable information when making commitments;
(B) Government and industry communication should be clear
and open; and
(C) the Department of Defense should produce auditable
financial management statements.
(5) Innovative.--The acquisition system should be
innovative, meaning that barriers should be removed that
preclude companies from undertaking defense business or
officials from proposing new approaches.

Subtitle C--Weapon Systems Acquisition and Related Matters

SEC. 821. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE DESIRED CHARACTERISTICS
FOR THE WEAPON SYSTEMS ACQUISITION SYSTEM.

(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Current situation.--Despite significant and repeated
attempts at acquisition reform, the Department of Defense
still experiences case after case of expensive weapon system
acquisition failures. The Department of Defense has a track
record of too many cancellations, schedule slippages, cost
over-runs, and failures to deliver timely solutions to the
requirements of the Armed Forces. This situation is
unacceptable. For example, according to the Final Report of
the 2010 Army Acquisition Review, between 1996 and 2010, the
Army expended approximately $1 billion to $3 billion annually
on two dozen programs that were eventually cancelled. No
military service and no type of weapon acquisition has been
immune.
(2) Problems in all phases of acquisitions.--
(A) Despite detailed weapon acquisition processes and
procedures, there is only limited discipline in starting
programs. Many programs begin without a solid foundation.
They have too many requirements deemed ``critical'', which
are driven by too many organizations and individuals.
Approved requirements are often set with only a limited
understanding of the technical feasibility of achieving them.
The resulting compromises of good program management and
engineering judgment that allow the programs to proceed are
the ``spackle'' of the acquisition system that covers up the
risks and enables the system to operate.
(B) As these weapon systems proceed into engineering and
manufacturing development, they often encounter development
problems leading to cost growth, schedule delay, and
performance reductions. Industry and Government officials
frequently respond by taking additional development risks to
resolve basic performance issues by reducing the time to
analyze and assess development results, overlapping key
development efforts, and reducing testing. The Department of
Defense and Congress disrupt the planned funding of stable
programs to find resources for troubled programs or to fund
across-the-board spending cuts. Funding instability is the
inevitable price that programs pay for survival because
funding disruptions actually keep more programs alive.
(C) Finally, these weapons are often rushed into production
only to encounter production problems, and are fielded with
many unknowns or deficiencies leading to significantly
reduced quantities and force structure reductions. The
warfighter faces the challenge of operating weapons with poor
reliability, high maintenance demands, reduced performance,
and many capability shortfalls.
(b) Sense of Congress.--
(1) In general.--It is the sense of Congress that, in
accordance with the tenets described in section 800, to
improve weapon system acquisitions, the Department of
Defense, Congress, and industry should develop an acquisition
system characterized by highly disciplined program initiation
coupled with agile program execution and balanced oversight,
as described in paragraphs (2), (3), and (4).
(2) Highly disciplined program initiation.--An acquisition
system characterized by highly disciplined program initiation
means that programs do not begin engineering development
until firm requirements are matched to a flexible acquisition
strategy structured to develop militarily useful capability
that can be delivered in a relevant period of time with
available technologies, funding, and management capacity.
Such a highly disciplined program initiation includes--
(A) a workforce with smart requirements setters and expert
buyers, with the knowledge, skills, and experience to
successfully plan for and execute highly complex
acquisitions;
(B) requirements that are well-defined, technically
feasible, and affordable;
(C) acquisition strategies that are designed to minimize
time to market of militarily useful capability, with the
program concerned being structured so that--
(i) lower-risk, technically mature capabilities are matched
to delivering capability to the warfighter in the near term,
while remaining requirements are aligned and resources are
programmed to support integration into later increments to
meet the requirements of the Armed Forces;
(ii) capabilities are approved for an increment only when
their developmental risks have been appropriately reduced;
and
(iii) increments are planned to complete engineering and
manufacturing development in a reasonable period of time;
(D) a science and technology development enterprise that is
responsive to the acquisition process before engineering and
manufacturing development begins, and sufficiently resourced
to reduce risks and enable programs to make smart decisions
without losing critical funds; and
(E) redtape reduction in order to free up program and
Department officials to focus on their mission of defining an
executable program and understanding and addressing risks.
(3) Agile program execution.--An acquisition system
characterized by agile program execution means a system in
which acquisition speed and flexibility to make trade-offs
are balanced with the need to achieve desired technical
performance. Such agile program execution includes--
(A) program managers and program officials who are expert
buyers and negotiators who anticipate problems, negotiate
solutions, and are empowered to manage;
(B) a preference for fixed price contracting where
appropriate for the size and complexity of

[[Page H3037]]

the work and for the nature and scope of the capabilities
being developed;
(C) program managers who avoid increasing program risk by
resisting the addition of new requirements or the reduction
of developmental activities;
(D) empowering program managers and senior decisionmakers
to make decisions easily in order to move forward with
capabilities that mature quickly, cancel those that encounter
greater difficulties than expected, and trade-off or reduce
requirements to maintain cost and schedule;
(E) enabling program managers to focus on overcoming
execution challenges and delivering success rather than
concentrating on compliance with reporting, certifications,
and other redtape; and
(F) senior decisionmakers who have knowledge of
demonstrated performance as programs proceed through
development, with robust developmental testing occurring
before committing to production for operational use as a
basis for decision making.
(4) Balanced oversight.--An acquisition system
characterized by balanced oversight means that the focus is
on ensuring discipline initiating programs and that
appropriate adjustments are made during development, so that
programs have the best chance to succeed. Such balanced
oversight includes--
(A) involvement by decisionmakers early to ensure that an
understanding of trade-offs, risks, and needs are considered,
resourced, and validated, and that agreement is reached
between the executive and legislative branches;
(B) acceptance by decisionmakers that complex weapon system
developments are inherently risky and require expertise and
flexibility to manage effectively;
(C) conscious decisions by decisionmakers regarding where
to accept risk, while ensuring that risk mitigation plans are
resourced (with time, funding, alternatives, and competent
government and contractor officials);
(D) measuring and monitoring by decisionmakers of the right
factors, such as technology maturation progress and systems
engineering during risk reduction, development cost growth
during engineering and manufacturing development, and
reliability growth during system demonstration;
(E) work by Congress and the Department of Defense, once a
program has begun, to resolve issues by considering trade-
offs among cost, schedule, and performance necessary to best
support the warfighter; and
(F) congressional understanding of risks and efforts to
mitigate such risks even if they are through non-traditional
means or other technological advances.

SEC. 863. EXTENSION OF LIMITATION ON AGGREGATE ANNUAL AMOUNT
AVAILABLE FOR CONTRACT SERVICES.

Section 808 of the National Defense Authorization Act for

(4) in subsection (e), by striking ``2015'' and inserting
``2016''.

SEC. 864. USE OF LOWEST PRICE, TECHNICALLY ACCEPTABLE
EVALUATION METHOD FOR PROCUREMENT OF AUDIT OR
AUDIT READINESS SERVICES.

(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) Given the size and scope of the Department of Defense,
the effort to finish and institutionalize auditability is one
of the more challenging management tasks that has ever faced
the Department.
(2) The acquisition of services by the Department abides by
many rules and parameters, one of which is the lowest price,
technically acceptable (LPTA) evaluation method.
(3) The Department's audit effort is extremely complicated,
requiring personnel and assistance who have the financial
management and auditor skills that a non-independent public
accounting firm or a non-credentialed firm offering the
lowest price may not have.
(4) In order for the Department to meet the September 30,
2017, audit readiness statutory deadline and the March 31,
2019, audit of fiscal year 2018 statutory deadline, it is
imperative that the Department not sacrifice contracts with
firms who have the proper credentials and expertise to meet
these deadlines.
(5) The LPTA evaluation method is appropriate for
commercial or non-complex services or supplies where the
requirement is clearly definable and the risk of unsuccessful
contract performance is minimal. However, audit and audit
readiness services are complex and evolving.
(b) Requirements Before Using LPTA Evaluation Method.--
Before using the lowest price, technically acceptable
evaluation method for the procurement of audit or audit
readiness services, the Secretary of Defense shall--
(1) establish the values and metrics for the services being
procured, including domain expertise and experience, size and
scope of offeror's team, personnel qualifications and
certifications, technology, and tools; and
(2) review each offeror's past performance requirements.

``(F) Advising the Secretary on development of joint
command, control, communications, and cyber capability,
including integration and interoperability of such
capability, through requirements, integrated architectures,
data standards, and assessments.''.

SEC. 904. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE UNITED STATES MARINE
CORPS.

(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) As senior United States statesman Dr. Henry Kissinger
wrote in testimony submitted to the Senate Armed Services
Committee on January 29, 2015, ``The United States has not
faced a more diverse and complex array of crises since the
end of the Second World War.''.
(2) The rise of non-state forces and near peer competitors
has introduced destabilizing pressures around the globe.
(3) Advances in information and weapons technology have
reduced the time available for the United States to prepare
for and respond to crises against both known and unknown
threats.
(4) The importance of the maritime domain cannot be
overstated. As acknowledged in the March 2015 Navy, Marine
Corps, and Coast Guard maritime strategy, ``A Cooperative
Strategy for 21st Century Seapower'': ``Oceans are the
lifeblood of the interconnected global community. . . 90
percent of trade by volume travels across the oceans.
Approximately 70 percent of the world's population lives
within 100 miles of the coastline.''.
(5) The United States must be prepared to rapidly respond
to crises around the world regardless of the nation's fiscal
health.
(6) In this global security environment, it is critical
that the nation possess a maritime force whose mission and
ethos is readiness--a fight tonight force, forward deployed,
that can respond immediately to emergent crises across the
full range of military operations around the globe either
from the sea or home station.
(7) The need for such a force was recognized by the 82nd
Congress after the major wars of the twentieth century, when
it mandated a core mission for the nation's leanest force--
the Marine Corps--to be most ready when the nation is least
ready.
(b) Sense of Congress.--
(1) It is the sense of Congress that--
(A) the Marine Corps, within the Department of the Navy,
remain the Nation's expeditionary, crisis response force;
(B) the need for such a force with such a capability has
never been greater; and
(C) accordingly, in recognition of this need and the wisdom
of the 82nd Congress, the 114th Congress reaffirms section
5063 of title 10, United States Code, uniquely charging the
United States Marine Corps with this responsibility.
(2) It is further the sense of Congress that the Marine
Corps--
(A) shall--
(i) be organized to include not less than three combat
divisions and three air wings, and such other land combat,
aviation, and other services as may be organic therein;
(ii) be organized, trained, and equipped to provide fleet
marine forces of combined arms, together with supporting air
components, for service with the fleet in the seizure or
defense of advanced naval bases and for the conduct of such
land operations as may be essential to the prosecution of a
naval campaign; and
(iii) provide detachments and organizations for service on
armed vessels of the Navy, shall provide security detachments
for the protection of naval property at naval stations and
bases, and shall perform such other duties as the President
may direct;
but these additional duties may not detract from nor
interfere with the operations for which the Marine Corps is
primarily organized;
(B) shall develop, in coordination with the Army and the
Air Force, those phases of amphibious operations that pertain
to the tactics, techniques, and equipment used by landing
forces; and
(C) is responsible, in accordance with the integrated joint
mobilization plans, for the expansion of peacetime components
of the Marine Corps to meet the needs of war.

SEC. 905. ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR STREAMLINING OF
DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE MANAGEMENT HEADQUARTERS.

(a) Findings.--
(1) On July 31, 2013, the then Secretary of Defense stated
that the Department would ``reduc[e] the Department's major
headquarters budgets by 20 percent. . .Although the 20
percent cut applies to budget dollars, organizations will
strive for a goal of 20 percent reductions in government
civilians and military personnel.'' The then Secretary
further stated that ``these management reforms. . .will
reduce the Department's overhead and operating costs by...$10
billion over the next five years.''.
(2) Furthermore, the President's budget request for the
Department of Defense for fiscal year 2015 stated that
reductions to management headquarters staff and consolidation
of duplicative efforts across the Department would result in
a savings of $5.3 billion over 5 years--through fiscal year
2019. However, as noted by the Government Accountability
Office in a January 2015 report (GAO-15-10), the Department
accounted for $5.3 billion as efficiency savings in its
budget request, but has not provided specific details on the
reductions to management headquarters' staff it plans to
make.
(3) In June 2014, the Government Accountability Office
found (in GAO-14-439) that the Department did not have an
accurate accounting of the resources being devoted to
management headquarters to use as a starting point for
tracking reductions to such headquarters. In April 2015, the
Government Accountability Office reported (in GAO-15-404SP)
that focusing reductions on management headquarters budgets
and personnel, which tend to be inconsistently defined and
often represent a small portion of the overall headquarters,
shields much of the resources identified for potential
reduction.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the Secretary of Defense's commitment in July 2013 to a
goal of a 20 percent reduction in headquarters budgets and
personnel and a goal of $10 billion in cost savings over five
years is worthwhile and should be fully implemented;
(2) without a clear baseline for management headquarters,
it is difficult to demonstrate and track progress achieving
actual savings;
(3) any reduction in personnel should not be implemented as
an across-the-board cut, but rather should be strategically
designed to retain critical functions, capabilities, and
skill sets--including but not limited to depots and the
acquisition workforce--and eliminate unnecessary or redundant
functions or skill sets that do not benefit or support
mission requirements;
(4) functions should be performed at the lowest appropriate
organizational level and those organizations should be
empowered and held accountable;
(5) duplicative functions at higher level organizations
should be eliminated; and
(6) the movement of a function from a management
headquarters to a different Department of Defense
organization or a lower level organization does not result in
an efficiency, since the same budget is still required to
perform that function.
(c) Requirement to Implement 20 Percent Reduction in
Management Headquarters Functions.--Section 904 of the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014
(Public Law 113-66; 10 U.S.C. 111 note) is amended by adding
at the end the following new subsection:
``(e) Implementation of Management Headquarters
Reduction.--The Secretary of Defense shall implement the 20
percent reduction directed by the Secretary in July 2013 in
management headquarters budget and personnel by September 30,
2019, for the covered organizations in the National Capital
Region (as defined in section 2674(f) of title 10, United
States Code). Such reductions shall be strategically designed

[[Page H3045]]

to retain critical functions, capabilities, and skill sets.
Management, functions, programs, or offices shall be moved to
the lowest appropriate organizational level. In any report
issued pursuant to subsection (d), the Secretary may not
claim a cost savings solely based on moving management,
functions, programs, or offices from one organization to
another.''.
(d) Limitation on Working-capital Fund Positions.--Section
904 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
2014 (Public Law 113-66; 10 U.S.C. 111 note) is further
amended by adding at the end the following new subsection:
``(f) Limitation on Working-capital Fund Positions.--In
implementing the 20 percent reduction referred to in
subsection (e), the Secretary of Defense may not reduce the
number of Department of Defense civilian employees whose
salaries are funded from working-capital funds except in
accordance with section 2472 of title 10, United States
Code.''.
(e) Change in Deadline for Required Plan.--Section 904(a)
of the such Act is amended by striking ``180 days after the
date of the enactment of this Act'' and inserting ``March 31,
2016''.
(f) Additional Elements of Plan.--Section 904(b) of such
Act is amended--
(1) by redesignating paragraphs (1), (2), and (3) as
paragraphs (2), (3), and (4), respectively;
(2) by inserting before paragraph (2), as so redesignated,
the following new paragraph (1):
``(1) An accurate baseline accounting of defense
headquarters budgets and personnel as of fiscal year 2014,
including what is and is not included as part of management
headquarters accounting, and a detailed description of the
number of personnel, budgets, functions, capabilities, and
skill sets.'';
(3) in paragraph (2), as so redesignated--
(A) by inserting ``actual and'' before ``planned changes'';
(B) by striking ``staffing'' and inserting ``personnel'';
and
(C) by inserting before the period at the end the
following: ``, set forth separately by fiscal year, from
fiscal year 2014 through fiscal year 2019'';
(4) in paragraph (3), as so redesignated--
(A) by striking ``description of the planned changes'' and
inserting ``detailed description of the actual and planned
changes''; and
(B) by inserting before the period at the end the
following: ``, set forth separately by fiscal year, from
fiscal year 2014 through fiscal year 2019''; and
(5) in paragraph (4), as so redesignated, by striking
``fiscal year 2015, and estimated savings to be achieved for
each of fiscal years 2015 through 2024'' and inserting
``fiscal year 2014, and estimated savings to be achieved,
along with associated changes or reductions in budget, for
each of fiscal years 2014 through 2024''.
(g) Additional Report Requirements.--Section 904(d) of such
Act is amended--
(1) in paragraph (1), by striking ``180 days after the date
of the enactment of this Act'' and inserting ``March 31,
2016''; and
(2) in paragraph (2)--
(A) in subparagraph (C), by striking ``including'' and all
that follows through the end of the subparagraph and
inserting the following: ``and specific detailed information
on how the changes, consolidations, or reductions were
prioritized and resulted in functions no longer being
performed, in the fiscal year covered by such report.'';
(B) in subparagraph (F), by striking ``, including'' and
all that follows through ``management review''; and
(C) by adding at the end the following new subparagraph:
``(H) A separate description of--
``(i) the management functions, programs, or offices that
were eliminated and how each represents a redundant
management or oversight function; and
``(ii) the management, functions, programs, or offices that
were moved, and how moving each will result in efficiency.''.

SEC. 906. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT AND
WORKFORCE INCENTIVE SYSTEM.

(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) Section 1113 of the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 2010 (Public Law 111-84) required the
Department of Defense to institute a fair, credible, and
transparent performance appraisal system, given the name
``New Beginnings,'' for employees, which--
(A) links employee bonuses and other performance-based
action to employee performance appraisals;
(B) ensures ongoing performance feedback and dialogue among
supervisors, managers, and employees throughout the appraisal
period, with timetables for review; and
(C) develops performance assistance plans to give employees
formal training, on-the-job training, counseling, mentoring,
and other assistance.
(2) The military components and defense agencies of the
Department of Defense are currently reviewing the proposed
``New Beginnings'' performance management and workforce
incentive system developed in response to section 1113 of
Public Law 111-84.
(3) The Department of Defense anticipates it will begin
implementation of the ``New Beginnings'' performance
management and workforce incentive system in April 2016.
(4) The authority provided in section 1113 of Public Law
111-84 provided the Secretary of Defense, in coordination
with the Director of the Office of Personnel Management,
flexibilities in promulgating regulations to redesign the
procedures which are applied by the Department of Defense in
making appointments to positions within the competitive
service in order to--
(A) better meet mission needs;
(B) respond to managers' needs and the needs of applicants;
(C) produce high-quality applicants;
(D) support timely decisions;
(E) uphold appointments based on merit system principles;
and
(F) promote competitive job offers.
(5) In implementing the ``New Beginnings'' performance
management and workforce incentive system, section 113 of
Public Law 111-84 requires the Secretary of Defense to comply
with veterans' preference requirements.
(6) Among the criteria for the new performance management
and workforce incentive system authorized under section 1113
of Public Law 111-84, the Secretary of Defense is required
to--
(A) adhere to merit principles;
(B) include a means for ensuring employee involvement (for
bargaining unit employees, through their exclusive
representatives) in the design and implementation of the
performance management and workforce incentive system;
(C) provide for adequate training and retraining for
supervisors, managers, and employees in the implementation
and operation of the performance management and workforce
incentive system;
(D) develop a comprehensive management succession program
to provide training to employees to develop managers for the
agency and a program to provide training to supervisors on
actions, options, and strategies a supervisor may use in
administering the performance management and workforce
incentive system;
(E) include effective transparency and accountability
measures and safeguards to ensure that the management of the
performance management and workforce incentive system is
fair, credible, and equitable, including appropriate
independent reasonableness reviews, internal assessments, and
employee surveys;
(F) use the annual strategic workforce plan required by
section 115b of title 10; and
(G) ensure that adequate agency resources are allocated for
the design, implementation, and administration of the
performance management and workforce incentive system.
(7) Section 1113 of Public Law 111-84 also requires the
Secretary of Defense to develop a program of training--to be
completed by a supervisor every three years--on the actions,
options, and strategies a supervisor may use in--
(A) developing and discussing relevant goals and objectives
with the employee, communicating and discussing progress
relative to performance goals and objectives, and conducting
performance appraisals;
(B) mentoring and motivating employees, and improving
employee performance and productivity;
(C) fostering a work environment characterized by fairness,
respect, equal opportunity, and attention to the quality of
the work of employees;
(D) effectively managing employees with unacceptable
performance;
(E) addressing reports of a hostile work environment,
reprisal, or harassment of or by another supervisor or
employee; and
(F) allowing experienced supervisors to mentor new
supervisors by sharing knowledge and advice in areas such as
communication, critical thinking, responsibility,
flexibility, motivating employees, teamwork, leadership, and
professional development, and pointing out strengths and
areas of development.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that
the Secretary of Defense should proceed with the
collaborative work with employee representatives on the ``New
Beginnings'' performance management and workforce incentive
system and begin implementation of the new system at the
earliest possible date.

SEC. 907. GUIDELINES FOR CONVERSION OF FUNCTIONS PERFORMED BY
CIVILIAN OR CONTRACTOR PERSONNEL TO PERFORMANCE

(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The stability and security of Central American nations
have a direct impact on the stability and security of the
United States.
(2) Over the past decade, stability and increased security
in the Republic of Colombia has pushed illicit trafficking to
Central America bringing increased violence and instability.
(3) Much of Central America has seen spikes in violence and
homicides. In fiscal year 2013, the United Nations Office on
Drugs and Crime released its Global Study on Homicide 2013.
Four of the top five countries with the highest homicide
rates in the world were Central American nations including
Honduras, Belize, El Salvador, and Guatemala.
(4) In calendar year 2014, approximately 65,000
unaccompanied alien children from Central America entered the
United States through its southwest border. This number of
such children who enter the United States during calendar
year 2015 is expected to be approximately the same.
(5) The southwest border of the United States continues to
be porous to illicit trafficking of narcotics, weapons, cash,
and people.
(6) In November 2014, Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador
announced a Plan for the Alliance for Prosperity of the
Northern Triangle. This plan is a comprehensive approach to
address the ongoing violence and instability facing these
three nations by stimulating economic opportunities,
improving public safety and rule of law, and strengthening
institutions to increase trust in the state.
(7) The United States Government has stated its support for
the Alliance for Prosperity and included in the President's
fiscal year 2016 budget request $1,000,000,000 in Department
of State funds, to support the strategy for United States
engagement in Central America. According to the strategy,
this funding will be focused on promoting prosperity and
regional economic integration, enhancing security, and
promoting improved governance.
(8) None of the President's $1,000,000,000 budget request
for the strategy for United States engagement in Central
America includes any funding for Department of Defense
programs in the region.
(9) The Department of Defense provides training, equipment,
education, and interdiction efforts to address security
challenges in Central America through detection and
monitoring of illicit trafficking, assistance in illicit
trafficking interdictions, and building partnership
capacities.
(10) The Department of Defense through its roles and
missions, is executing a plan to address security challenges
in Central America in conjunction with the United States
Strategy for Engagement in Central America.
(b) Policy.--It shall be the policy of the United States to
prioritize a Plan Central America to address the threatening
levels of violence, instability, illicit trafficking, and
transnational organized crime that challenge the sovereignty
of Central American nations and security of the United
States. In order to address such issues, the Department of
Defense shall--
(1) increase the efforts of the Department of Defense as
the lead agency to detect and monitor the aerial and maritime
illicit trafficking into the United States;
(2) increase the efforts of the Department of Defense to
support aerial and maritime illicit trafficking interdiction
efforts;
(3) increase the efforts of the Department of Defense to
build partnership capacity with partner nations in Central
America to confront security challenges through increased
training opportunities, education, and exercises;
(4) enforce human rights requirements consistent with
section 2249e of title 10, United States Code, and increase
the training and education regarding human rights provided in
Central American nations; and
(5) support interagency efforts in Central America
addressing all levels of instability including development,
education, economic, political, and security challenges.

SEC. 1059. PROHIBITION ON THE CLOSURE OF UNITED STATES NAVAL
STATION, GUANTANAMO BAY, CUBA.

(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The United States military presence in the Republic of
Cuba began in 1898, and United States military basing began
in Cuba in 1903.
(2) In 1934, the United States and Cuba entered into the
Treaty Between the United States of America and Cuba signed
at Washington, D.C. on May 29, 1934. Under Article III, the
treaty stipulates the perpetual lease agreement between the
United States and Cuba for the 45 square miles of land
encompassing Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
(3) On March 12, 2015, Commander of United States Southern
Command, General John Kelly, testified before the Committee
on Armed Services of the Senate, highlighting, ``Its [Naval
Station Guantanamo Bay] airfield and port facilities are
indispensable to the Departments of Defense, Homeland
Security, and State's operational and contingency plans. . .
As the only permanent U.S. military base in Latin America and
the Caribbean, its location provides persistent U.S. presence
and immediate access to the region, as well as supporting a
layered defense to secure the air and maritime approaches to
the United States''.
(4) Former Commander of United States Southern Command,
retired Admiral James Stavridis, recently stated ``Guantanamo
Bay Naval Station has immense strategic value above and
beyond its reputation as a detention facility. It is the
logistic, planning, surveillance and basing linchpin for the
U.S. Fourth Fleet, crucial to the military for disaster
relief, humanitarian work, medical diplomacy, and
counternarcotics, all key missions for the U.S. Navy in Latin
America and the Caribbean. The U.S. should do all in its
power to maintain its legal control over the base''.
(5) In testimony in front of the Committee on Armed
Services of the House of Representatives in 2012, then-
Commander of United States Southern Command, General Douglas
Fraser, stated, ``Absent a detention facility and even
following the eventual demise of the Castro regime, the
strategic capability provided by the U.S. Naval Station
Guantanamo Bay remains essential for executing national
priorities throughout the Caribbean, Latin America, and South
America''.
(6) As part of ``normalizing'' relations with the
government of Cuba, announced in December 2014, ongoing
negotiations are occurring to determine the diplomatic
framework between the governments of the United States and
Cuba.
(7) In January 2015, soon after negotiations began between
the United States and Cuba, Cuban President Raul Castro
demanded the return of United States Naval Station,
Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to Cuba.
(8) In February 2015, Assistant Secretary of State for
Western Hemisphere Affairs Roberta Jacobson, in testimony in
front of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the House of
Representatives, stated that the return of United States
Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, is ``not on the table in
these conversations'', referencing current diplomatic
negotiations. Later in her testimony Assistant Secretary
Jacobson pointed out, referring to the possible closure of
the Naval Station, that she is not a ``high enough ranking
person to know. . .whether it could be in the future''.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the strategic, logistic, and postural significance of
United States Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, is vital to
the security of the United States; and
(2) the United States must not relinquish control of
Guantanamo Bay to the Republic of Cuba.
(c) Prohibition.--United States Naval Station, Guantanamo
Bay, Cuba, may not be closed or abandoned, and the President
shall ensure that the obligations of the United States under
Article III of the Treaty Between the United States of
America and Cuba signed at Washington, D.C. on May 29, 1934
are met, including the payment of the annual lease sum to the
government of Cuba, unless otherwise specifically provided--
(1) by law;
(2) in a treaty that is ratified with the advice and
consent of the Senate; or
(3) by a modification of the Treaty Between the United
States of America and Cuba signed at Washington, D.C. on May
29, 1934, that is ratified with the advice and consent of the
Senate.

COUNTER ISLAMIC EXTREMISM.

(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) In testimony before the Committee on Armed Services of
the House of Representatives, General Martin Dempsey,
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff stated, ``The global
security environment is as uncertain as I have seen in my 40
years of service.''.
(2) In testimony before the Committee on Armed Services of
the Senate, the Director of National Intelligence, James
Clapper, stated: ``Sunni violent extremists are gaining
momentum and the number of Sunni violent extremist groups,
members, and safe havens is greater than at any other point
in history.''.
(3) In testimony to the Committee on Armed Services of the
House of Representatives, Lieutenant General Michael Flynn,
former Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency stated,
``. . .whether it be the number of violent Islamist groups,
the territory which they control, the scale and scope of the
Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and associated
movements, the number of terrorist attacks they perpetrate,
the numbers of causalities they inflict, their broad
expansion and use of the internet, or just their sheer
barbarism; I can draw no other conclusion than to say that
the threat of Islamic extremism has reached an unacceptable
level and that it is growing.''.
(4) In testimony before the Committee on Armed Services of
the Senate, James Clapper, the Director of National
Intelligence, stated the following:
(A) ``When the final counting is done, 2014 will have been
the most lethal year for global terrorism in the 45 years
such data has been

[[Page H3059]]

compiled . . . about half of all attacks, as well as
fatalities, in 2014 occurred in just three countries: Iraq,
Pakistan and Afghanistan . . . the Islamic State in Iraq and
the Levant (ISIL) conducted more attacks than any other
terrorist group in the first nine months of 2014.''.
(B) ``Since the conflict began, more than 20,000 Sunni
foreign fighters have traveled to Syria from more than 90
countries to fight the Assad regime . . . of that number, at
least 13,600 have extremist ties.''.
(C) ``More than 3,400 Western fighters have gone to Syria
and Iraq. Hundreds have returned home to Europe.''.
(D) ``About 180 Americans or so have been involved in
various stages of travel to Syria . . . and some number have
come back.''.
(E) ``ISIL, al-Qaeda and al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula
(AQAP), and, most recently, al-Shabaab are calling on their
supporters to conduct lone-wolf attacks against the United
States and other Western countries. Of the 13 attacks in the
West since last May, 12 were conducted by individual
extremists.''.
(5) AQAP continues to be one of al-Qaeda's most capable
affiliates, has the intent and capability to attack the
United States and its allies, and attempted attacks inside
the United States on December 25, 2009, and October 27, 2010.
(6) Iran has been a Department of State-designated state
sponsor of terrorism since January 19, 1984, and continues to
sponsor and support terrorism throughout the Middle East
region and around the world.
(7) In testimony before the Committee on Armed Services of
the Senate, former Vice Chief of Staff of the Army, General
Jack Keane (retired), stated, ``Is it possible to . . . claim
that the United States policy and strategy is working or that
al-Qaeda is on the run? It is unmistakable that our policies
have failed . . . And the unequivocal explanation is U.S.
policy has focused on disengaging from the Middle East.''.
(8) In testimony before the Committee on Armed Services of
the Senate, former commander of United States Central
Command, General James Mattis (retired), stated, ``We have
lived too long in a strategy-free mode . . . America needs a
refreshed national strategy . . . And our Nation's strategy
demands a comprehensive approach.''.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) Islamic extremism is growing in the Middle East and
elsewhere;
(2) Iran continues to be a leading state sponsor of
terrorism in the Middle East and across the globe and
continues to actively work against United States interests;
(3) the threat of terrorist attacks in the United States
and threats against United States interests have increased
due to the growth of Islamic extremism, the proliferation of
terrorist groups across the world, and the instability in the
Middle East in countries such as Libya, Yemen, Iraq, and
Syria;
(4) the approach of Building Partnership Capacity (BPC) and
conducting limited counterterrorism operations has had some
positive effects in some locations, but has not prevented the
proliferation and violence of terrorist groups or instability
in the Middle East;
(5) the United States should articulate, develop, and
implement an effective strategy to work with its allies and
partners to defeat Islamic extremist groups that threaten the
interests of the Unites States and its allies;
(6) support for United States allies and partners in the
Middle East is a critical component of the effort to prevent
the spread of Islamic extremism;
(7) other actors, such as Russia, China, and Iran are
trying to work against United States interests in the Middle
East;
(8) the United States should take a greater leadership role
in fighting Islamic extremism and supporting stability in the
Middle East to include coordinating actions of United States
allies and partners in the region;
(9) the United States plays a vital leadership role in
coordinating the activities of the United States and its
allies and partners and should seek opportunities to expand
such cooperation to contribute to greater stability in the
Middle East;
(10) the United States should continue to take steps to
prevent the spread of malign Iranian influence in Iraq,
Syria, Yemen, and the region;
(11) the United States remains an indispensable actor in
the Middle East, and the President should ensure that United
States Armed Forces remain forward postured in the region to
deter adversaries, fight threats to the United States and its
interests, and support United States allies and partners in
the region.
(c) Strategy Required.--
(1) In general.--Not later than February 15, 2016, the
Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of State shall submit
to the specified congressional committees a comprehensive
strategy for the Middle East and to counter Islamic
extremism.

Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291; 128 Stat.
3592), is further amended by striking ``December 31, 2016''
and inserting ``December 31, 2025''.

SEC. 1232. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE GOVERNMENT OF IRAN'S
NUCLEAR PROGRAM AND ITS MALIGN MILITARY
ACTIVITIES.

(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) The understanding announced on April 2, 2015, between
the countries of the P5+1 (the United States, the United
Kingdom, France, Germany, Russia, and China) and Iran on a
Comprehensive Joint Plan of Action (CJPOA) provides sanctions
relief in exchange for constraints on Iran's nuclear program
for a limited period of time.
(2) Iran continues to develop ballistic missiles in
violation of United Nations Security Council Resolutions 1747
(2007) and 1929 (2010), has developed medium-range ballistic
missiles to target Israel and other United States allies, is
working towards an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM)
capability and the CJPOA places no limitations on Iran's
ballistic and cruise missile development efforts.
(3) The Secretary of State has designated Iran as a state-
sponsor of terrorism since 1984 and for the past decade has
characterized Iran as the ``most active state sponsor of
terrorism'' in the world.
(4) Iran continues to support Hezbollah in Lebanon, the
Bashar al-Assad regime in Syria, Shia militias in Iraq, Hamas
in Gaza, the Houthi rebels in Yemen, and other terrorist
organizations and extremists globally.
(5) Iran continues to conduct malign military activities
across the Middle East and around the globe, which has and
will continue to destabilize the region. As the Commander of
United States Central Command testified to the Committee on
Armed Services of the House of Representatives on March 3,
2015, ``the leaders in the region. . . are also equally
concerned about Iran's ability to mine the Straits, Iran's
cyber capabilities, Iran's. . . ballistic missile capability,
as well as the activity of their Quds forces... And so
whether we get a deal or don't get a deal, I think they will
still share those concerns.''.
(6) Iran's destabilizing activities throughout the region
pose a threat to United States interests, the interests of
United States allies in the region, and international
security.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) Iran's illicit pursuit, development, or acquisition of
a nuclear weapons capability and its malign military
activities overall constitute a grave threat to regional
stability and the national security interests of the United
States and its allies and partners;
(2) Iran continues to expand its malign activities in the
Middle East and globally, which may well increase under a
CJPOA;
(3) sanctions relief under the CJPOA will provide Iran the
ability to increase funding for its ballistic missile
development programs, acquisition of destabilizing types and
amounts of conventional weapons, support for terrorism, and
other malign activities throughout the Middle East and
globally;
(4) United States bilateral and multilateral sanctions
against Iran, once relieved, will be extremely difficult to
reconstitute in response to Iranian violations of its
international obligations;
(5) Iran would be an internationally-approved nuclear-
threshold state under the framework of the CJPOA, which will
likely lead to the proliferation of nuclear weapons across
the Middle East;
(6) Congress should review and assess all elements of any
agreement entered into between the countries of the P5+1 and
Iran and it should approve or disapprove of any sanctions
relief that results from such an agreement;

[[Page H3061]]

(7) the United States must continue to support the defense
of allies and partners in the region, including Israel,
strengthening ballistic missile defense capabilities, and
increasing security assistance;
(8) Congress supports efforts to reach a peaceful,
diplomatic solution to permanently and verifiably end Iran's
pursuit, development, and acquisition of a nuclear weapons
capability, and it reaffirms that it is United States policy
that Iran will not be allowed to develop a nuclear weapons
capability and that all instruments of United States power
must be considered to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear
weapon; and
(9) Congress reaffirms the rights of United States allies
to exercise their legitimate right to self-defense against
the Government of Iran.

SEC. 1243. NON-COMPLIANCE BY THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION WITH ITS
OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE INF TREATY.

(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) The Department of State, on July 31, 2014, released the
Annual Report on the ``Adherence to and Compliance With Arms
Control, Nonproliferation, and Disarmament Agreements and
Commitments'' which included the finding that, ``The United
States has determined that the Russian Federation is in
violation of its obligations under the INF Treaty not to
possess, produce, or flight-test a ground-launched cruise
missile (GLCM) with a range capability of 500 km to 5,500 km,
or to possess or produce launchers of such missiles.''.
(2) According to the testimony of senior officials of the
Department of State, the Russian Federation is not complying
with numerous treaties and agreements, including the INF
Treaty, the Open Skies Treaty, the Biological Weapons
Convention, the Chemical Weapons Convention, the Vienna
Document, the Budapest Memorandum, the Istanbul Commitments,
the Presidential Nuclear Initiatives, the Missile Technology
Control Regime, and the Russian Federation has recently
withdrawn from the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in
Europe (CFE).
(3) The Commander of U.S. European Command, and Supreme
Allied Commander of Europe, General Philip Breedlove, USAF,
stated that ``[a] weapon capability that violates the I.N.F.,
that is introduced into the greater European land mass is
absolutely a tool that will have to be dealt with . . . I
would not judge how the alliance will choose to react, but I
would say they will have to consider what to do about it,
[i]t can't go unanswered.''.
(4) General Breedlove has further stated that `` we need to
first and foremost signal that we cannot accept this change
and that, if this change is continued, that we will have to
change the cost calculus for Russia in order to help them to
find their way to a less bellicose position.''.
(5) General Martin Dempsey, Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff
testified that, ``I think we have to make it very clear that
things like their compliance with the INF treaty that there
will be political, diplomatic and potentially military costs
in terms of the way we posture ourselves and the way we plan
and work with our allies to address those provocations. . .It
concerns me greatly. I certainly would counsel them not to
roll back the clock.''.
(6) The Secretary of Defense, Ashton B. Carter, testified
that, ``On the military side, we have begun to consider . . .
what our options are, because the INF treaty is a treaty,
meaning that it's a two-way street. We accepted constraints
in return for constraints of the then Soviet Union. It is a
two-way street, and we need to remind them that it's a two-
way street, meaning that we, without an INF treaty, can take
action also that we both decided years ago was best for
neither of us to take.''.
(7) The Department of Defense has been considering a range
of military options to respond to the Russian Federation's
violation of the INF Treaty and these options would ``aim to
negate any advantage Russia might gain from deploying an INF-
prohibited system, and all of these would be designed to make
us more secure'', and these options ``fall into three broad
categories: active defenses to counter intermediate-range
ground-launched cruise missiles; counterforce capabilities to
prevent intermediate-range ground-launched cruise missile
attacks; and countervailing strike capabilities to enhance
U.S. or allied forces.''.
(8) President Barack Obama stated in Prague in 2009 that,
``Rules must be binding. Violations must be punished. Words
must mean something.''.
(b) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress
that--
(1) the Russian Federation should return to compliance with
the INF Treaty;
(2) the continuing violation of the INF Treaty by the
Russian Federation threatens the viability of the INF Treaty;
(3) the United States has reportedly been undertaking
diplomatic efforts to address with the Russia Federation its
violations of the INF Treaty since 2013, and the Russian
Federation has failed to respond to these efforts in any
meaningful way;
(4) not only should the Russian Federation end its cheating
with respect to the INF Treaty, but also its illegal
occupation of the sovereign territory of another nation, its
plans for stationing nuclear weapons on that nation's
territory, and its cheating and violation of as many

[[Page H3062]]

as eight of its 12 arms control obligations and agreements;
and
(5) there are several United States military requirements
that would be addressed by the development and deployment of
systems currently prohibited by the INF Treaty.
(c) Notification of Russian Violations of INF Treaty.--
(1) In general.--The President shall submit to the
appropriate congressional committees a notification of--
(A) whether the Russian Federation has flight-tested,
deployed, or possesses a military system that has achieved an
initial operating capability of a covered missile system; and
(B) whether the Russian Federation has begun steps to
return to full compliance with the INF Treaty, including by
agreeing to inspections and verification measures necessary
to achieve high confidence that any covered missile system
will be eliminated, as required by the INF Treaty upon its
entry into force.
(2) Deadline.--The notification required under paragraph
(1) shall be submitted not later than 30 days after the date
of the enactment of this Act and not later than 30 days after
the date on which the Russian Federation meets any of the
requirements of subparagraphs (A) and (B) of paragraph (1).
(3) Form.--The notification required under paragraph (1)
shall be submitted in unclassified form, but may contain a
classified annex if necessary.
(d) Notification of Coordination With Allies Regarding INF
Treaty.--
(1) In general.--Not later than 120 days after the date of
the enactment, and every 120-day period thereafter for a
period of 5 years, the Secretary of Defense and the Chairman
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, in coordination with the
Secretary of State and the Director of National Intelligence,
shall jointly submit to the appropriate congressional
committees a notification on the status and content of
updates provided to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization
(NATO) and allies of the United States in East Asia, on the
Russian Federation's flight testing, operating capability and
deployment of a covered missile system, including updates on
the status and a description of efforts with such allies to
develop collective responses, including economic and military
responses, to the Russian Federation's arms control
violations, including violations of the INF Treaty.

shall be submitted in unclassified form, but may contain a
classified annex if necessary.
(e) Military Response Options to Russian Federation

enactment of this Act, the President determines that the
Russian Federation has not begun steps to return to full
compliance with the INF Treaty, including by agreeing to
inspections and verification measures necessary to achieve
high confidence that any covered missile system will be
eliminated, as required by the INF Treaty upon its entry into
force, the President shall begin developing the following
military capabilities:
(A) Counterforce capabilities to prevent intermediate-range
ground-launched ballistic missile and cruise missile attacks,
including capabilities that may be acquired from allies.
(B) Countervailing strike capabilities to enhance the Armed
Forces of the United States or allies of the United States,
including capabilities that may be acquired from allies.
(2) Availability of funds for recommended capabilities.--
The Secretary of Defense may use funds authorized to be
appropriated by this Act or otherwise made available for
fiscal year 2016 for research, development, test, and
evaluation, Defense-wide, as specified in the funding table
in section 4201, to carry out the development of capabilities
pursuant to paragraph (1) that are recommended by the
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to meet military
requirements and current capability gaps. In making such a
selection, the Chairman shall give priority to such
capabilities that the Chairman determines could be tested and
fielded most expediently, with the most priority given to
capabilities that the Chairman determines could be fielded in
two years.
(3) Reports on development.--
(A) In general.--During each 180-day period beginning on
the date on which funds are first obligated to develop
capabilities under paragraph (2), the Chairman shall submit
to the appropriate congressional committees a report on such
capabilities, including the costs of development (and
estimated total costs of each system if pursued to
deployment) and the timeline for development flight testing
and deployment.
(B) Sunset.--The provisions of subparagraph (A) shall not
be in effect on and after the date on which the President
certifies to the appropriate congressional committees that
the INF Treaty is no longer in force or the Russian

the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of
Defense, in coordination with the Secretary of State, shall
submit to the appropriate congressional committees a report

capabilities described in paragraph (1) in East Asia and
Eastern Europe, including any potential basing agreements
that may be required to facilitate such deployments.
(B) Any required safety and security measures, estimates of
potential costs of deployments described in subparagraph (A)
and an assessment of whether or not such deployments in

SEC. 1245. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON SUPPORT FOR ESTONIA, LATVIA,
AND LITHUANIA.

(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) The Baltic States of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania are
highly valued allies of the United States, and they have
repeatedly demonstrated their commitment to advancing our
mutual interests as well as those of the NATO Alliance.
(2) Operation Atlantic Resolve is a series of exercises and
coordinating efforts meant to demonstrate the United States'
commitment to the Baltic States of Estonia, Latvia, and
Lithuania, and the United States-Baltic partnership's shared
goal of peace and stability in the region. Built upon the
common values of peace, stability and prosperity, Operation
Atlantic Resolve strengthens communication and understanding,
and is an important effort to deter Russian aggression
against the Baltic States.
(3) As part of Operation Atlantic Resolve, the European
Reassurance Initiative undertakes exercises, training, and
rotational presence necessary to reassure and integrate our
Baltic State allies into a common defense framework.
(4) All three Baltic States contributed to the NATO-led
International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan,
sending disproportionate numbers of troops and operating with
few caveats. They also continue to engage in the Resolute

(b) Sense of Congress.--Congress--
(1) reaffirms its support for the principle of collective
defense as enshrined in Article 5 of the North Atlantic

Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan and the
Multi-National Force in Iraq.
(2) The European Reassurance Initiative builds the
partnership capacity of Georgia so it can work more closely
with the United States and NATO, as well as provide for their
own defense.
(3) In addition to the European Reassurance Initiative,
Georgia's participation in the NATO initiative Partnership
for Peace is paramount to interoperability with the United
States and NATO, and establishing a more peaceful environment
in the region.

Subtitle F--Matters Relating to the Asia-Pacific Region

SEC. 1251. SENSE OF CONGRESS RECOGNIZING THE 70TH ANNIVERSARY
OF THE END OF ALLIED MILITARY ENGAGEMENT IN THE
PACIFIC THEATER.

(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings
(1) September 2, 2015, marks the 70th anniversary of the
end of Allied military engagement in the Pacific theater,
also marking the end of the Second World War.
(2) The United States entered the Second World War in
December 1941, following the Empire of Japan's attack on
Pearl Harbor, and over the next four years Americans
participated in what was arguably the greatest national
endeavor in the Nation's history.
(3) The casualty toll of Americans in the Pacific theater
during the Second World War was approximately 92,904 killed,
208,333 wounded, and tens of thousands missing in action and
prisoners of war, with civilians and military forces of the
Allied Powers suffering equally devastating tolls.
(4) American military forces displayed extraordinary
courage and suffered significant casualties in battles across
the Pacific theater, including in the Battle of the
Philippine Sea, the Battle of Leyte Gulf, the Philippines
Campaign, the Battle of Iwo Jima, and the Battle of Okinawa.
(5) Japanese military forces and the Japanese civilian
population also suffered staggering losses.
(6) On August 15, 1945, Emperor Hirohito of Japan announced
the unconditional surrender of Japan's military forces, made
formal on September 2, 1945, aboard the U.S.S. Missouri in
Tokyo Bay, Japan, thus ending the most devastating war in
human history.
(7) Japan is now a free and prosperous democracy; a valued
ally with shared values and mutual interests based on the
principles of democracy, individual liberty, and the rule of
law, who serves as a cornerstone for peace and security in
the region and for whom the United States seeks to further
enhance security, economic, and diplomatic ties.
(8) The bravery and sacrifice of the members of the United
States Armed Forces and the military forces of the Allied
Powers who served valiantly to rescue the Pacific nations
from tyranny and aggression should be always remembered.
(b) Sense of Congress.--Congress--
(1) recognizes the 70th anniversary of the end of Allied
military engagement in the Pacific theater, and also marking
the end of Second World War;
(2) joins with a grateful nation in expressing respect and
appreciation to the members of the United States Armed Forces
who served in the Pacific theater during the Second World
War;
(3) remembers and honors those Americans who made the
ultimate sacrifice and gave their lives for their country
during the campaigns in the Pacific theater during the Second
World War; and
(4) preserves and applies the lessons learned from the
history of the Second World War in the Pacific theater and
recognizes the close alliance between the United States and
Japan, codified in the 1960 Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and
Security between the United States and Japan, that continues
to be enhanced to maintain peace and prosperity in the
region.

SEC. 1252. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING CONSOLIDATION OF
UNITED STATES MILITARY FACILITIES IN OKINAWA,
JAPAN.

(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) The defense alliance between the United States and
Japan remains important and strong.
(2) Progress continues to be made in the United States and
Japan to fulfill the April 27, 2012, agreement of the United
States-Japan Security Consultative Committee that modified
the United States-Japan Roadmap for Realignment
Implementation, originally codified on May 1, 2006, including
the Governor of Okinawa signing the landfill permit for
Henoko construction on December 27, 2013, and the elimination
of restrictions on Government of Japan contributions for the
realignment of Marine Corps forces in the Asia-Pacific region
by section 2821 of the Military Construction Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (division B of Public Law 113-291).
(3) The Government of Japan has made significant and
unprecedented direct financial contributions of more than
$3,000,000,000 to the Support for United States Relocation to
Guam Account pursuant to section 2350k of title 10, United
States Code, for the relocation of Marine Corps forces from
Okinawa to Guam and the relocation of certain training from
Okinawa to the Marianas region, of which nearly
$1,000,000,000 has already been received from the Government
of Japan, and a significant amount of these funds has already
been obligated and expended to support the relocation of
Marine Corps forces on Guam.
(4) It is important to return formerly used United States
military property in Okinawa to the local government.
(5) Consolidation of United States facilities and the
return of formerly used United States military property in
Okinawa will be implemented as soon as possible, while
ensuring operational capability, including training
capability, throughout the consolidation process.
(6) Under the April 27, 2012, agreement referred to in
paragraph (2), the United States is authorized to establish
Marine Air-Ground Task Forces at additional locations in the
Asia-Pacific region, including Guam, Hawaii, and Australia,
which will enhance their readiness posture through
flexibility and speed to respond to regional threats and
maintain regional peace, stability, and security.
(7) Even though realignment of Marine Corps forces from
Okinawa to Guam is ``de-linked'' from progress on the
construction of the Futenma Replacement Facility in Henoko,
there must be continued progress on Guam and Okinawa to meet
the agreement.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that
the Henoko location for the Futenma Replacement Facility--
(1) has been studied and analyzed for several decades,
reaffirmed by both the United States and Japan on several
occasions, including the 2010 Futenma Replacement Facility
Bilateral Experts study and the independent assessment
required by section 346 of the National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81; 125 Stat. 1373);
and
(2) remains the only option for the Futenma Replacement
Facility.

SEC. 1253. STRATEGY TO PROMOTE UNITED STATES INTERESTS IN THE

SEC. 1267. UNITED STATES-ISRAEL ANTI-TUNNEL DEFENSE
COOPERATION.

(a) Findings and Sense of Congress.--
(1) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(A) Tunnels have been used for centuries around the world
as a means of avoiding detection or circumventing defenses.
(B) Tunnels can be used for criminal purposes, such as
smuggling drugs, weapons, or humans, or for terrorist or
military purposes, such as launching surprise attacks or
detonating explosives underneath infrastructure.
(C) Tunnels have been a growing threat on the southern
border of the United States for more than 11 years, and the
Department of Homeland Security has been working to address
this threat.
(D) The conflict in Gaza in 2014 showed that terrorists are
now actively using tunnels as a means of attack, and news
reports indicate that tunnels are being used in Syria as
well.
(E) Terrorist organizations are quick to adopt successful
tactics, and it is only a matter of time before other
terrorist organizations begin using tunnels.
(F) The facilities of the United States, and those of the
allies of the United States, could be under threat very
quickly if tunnel threats continue to proliferate.
(G) Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad are
United States-designated terrorist organizations.
(H) Designated Palestinian terrorist organizations have
killed hundreds of Israelis and dozens of Americans in rocket
attacks and suicide bombings.
(I) Hamas has used underground tunnels to Israel and Egypt
to smuggle weapons, money, and supplies into Gaza and to send
members of Hamas out of Gaza for training and to bring
trainers in to Gaza to teach Hamas how to manufacture rockets
and build better tunnels. Tunnels in Gaza have also been used
as underground rocket launching sites, weapons caches,
bunkers, transportation networks and command and control
centers.
(J) In 2006, Hamas kidnapped Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit
through a tunnel and held him for five years.
(K) The Israel Defense Forces discovered 32 tunnels during
the conflict with Hamas in the summer of 2014, 14 of which
crossed into Israel.
(L) Hamas intentionally uses civilians as human shields by
placing its underground tunnel network in densely populated
areas and schools, hospitals, and mosques.
(M) Hamas's placement of explosive material in its vast
network of tunnels in Gaza has caused civilian casualties
through secondary and tertiary explosions.
(N) While the unemployment rate in Gaza is at 38 percent,
it is estimated that Hamas spends $3,000,000 per tunnel.
(O) United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said he
was ``shocked by the tunnels used for the infiltration of
terrorists''.
(P) Hamas has claimed to be rebuilding tunnels in Gaza
after the war with Israel in the summer of 2014.
(Q) Hezbollah has used underground tunnels in southern
Lebanon to move Hezbollah fighters and to launch attacks.
(R) The Palestinian Islamic Jihad claims to be digging new
tunnels on the Gaza border. Israel has a right to defend
itself from the violence of Palestinian terrorist groups,
including the violence that is facilitated through terrorist
tunnel networks.
(S) The United States is working cooperatively with the
Government of Israel to develop technologies to detect and
neutralize tunnels penetrating the territory of Israel.
(2) Sense of congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(A) it is in the best interests of the United States to
develop technology to detect and counter tunnels, and the
best way to do this is to partner with other affected
countries; and
(B) Israel is facing serious threats posed by tunnels and
should be the first partner of the United States in
addressing this significant challenge.

States and Israel regarding sharing of research and
development costs for the system described in paragraph (1).

cost of claims and in-kind support, between the United States
and Israel on an equitable basis unless the President
determines, on a case-by-case basis, the Government of Israel
is unable to contribute on an equitable basis;
(ii) requires the designation of payment of non-recurring
engineering costs in connection with the establishment of a
capacity for co-production in the United States;
(iii) establishes a framework to negotiate the rights to
any intellectual property developed under the cooperative
research and development projects; and

quarterly reports on expenditure of funds by the Government
of Israel, including a description of what the funds have
been used for, when funds were expended, and an
identification of entities that expended the funds.
(3) Assistance.--The President, upon request of the
Government of Israel, is authorized to

[[Page H3065]]

provide assistance to Israel for the procurement,
maintenance, and sustainment of an anti-tunneling system
described in paragraph (1).

tunneling Defense System.--In addition to the memorandum of

Subtitle C--European Reassurance Initiative and Related Matters

SEC. 1531. STATEMENT OF POLICY REGARDING EUROPEAN REASSURANCE
INITIATIVE.

(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) In February 2015, Lieutenant General James Clapper
(retired), Director of National Intelligence, testified to
the Committee on Armed Services of the Senate that ``Russian
dominance over the former Soviet space is Russia's highest
foreign policy goal''.
(2) Russia, under the direction of President Vladimir
Putin, has demonstrated its intent to expand its sphere of
influence beyond its borders and limit Western influence in
the region.
(3) The Russian military is aggressively postured on the
Ukrainian boarder and continues its buildup of military
personnel and material. These aggressive and unwarranted
actions serve to intimidate, with a show of force, the
Ukrainian people as well as the other nations in the region
including Georgia, the Baltic States, and the Balkan States.
(4) In December 2014, Congress enacted the Ukraine Freedom
Support Act of 2014 (Public Law 113-272), which gives the
President the authority to expand assistance to Ukraine,
increase economic sanctions on Russia, and provide equipment
to counter offensive weapons.
(5) In February 2015, the Atlantic Council, the Brookings
Institute, and the Chicago Council on Global Affairs
published a report entitled ``Preserving Ukraine's
Independence, Resisting Russian Aggression: What the United
States and NATO Must Do'' advocating for increased United
States assistance to Ukraine with nonlethal and lethal
defensive equipment.
(6) Despite Russia signing the February 2015 Minsk
Agreement, it has continued to violate the terms of the
agreement, as noted by Assistant Secretary of State for
European and Eurasian Affairs, Victoria Nuland, at the German
Marshall Fund Brussels Forum in March 2015: ``We've seen
month on month, more lethal weaponry of a higher
caliber...poured into Ukraine by the separatist Russian
allies...the number one thing is for Russia to stop sending
arms over the border so we can have real politics.''.
(7) The military of the Russian Federation continues to
increase their show of force globally, including frequent
international military flights, frequent snap exercises of
thousands of Russian troops, increased global naval presence,
and the threat of the use of nuclear weapons in defense of
the annexation of Crimea in March 2014.
(8) The Government of the Russian Federation continues to
exert and increase undue influence on the free will of
sovereign nations and people with intimidation tactics,
covert operations, cyber warfare, and other unconventional
methods.
(9) In testimony to the Committee on Armed Services of the
House of Representatives in February 2015, Commander of
European Command, General Philip Breedlove, United States Air
Force, stated that ``Russia has employed `hybrid
warfare'...to illegally seize Crimea, foment separatist fever
in several sovereign nations, and maintain frozen conflicts
within its so-called `sphere of influence' or `near abroad'
''.
(10) The use of unconventional methods of warfare by Russia
presents challenges to the United States and its partners and
allies in addressing the threat.
(11) An enhanced United States military presence and
readiness posture and the provision of security assistance in
Europe are key elements to deterring further Russian
aggression and reassuring United States allies and partners.
(12) In the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291), Congress authorized and
appropriated $1 billion for the European Reassurance
Initiative, which supports Operation Atlantic Resolve of the
United States Armed Forces.
(13) The European Reassurance Initiative expands United
States military presence in Europe, through--
(A) bolstered and continual United States military
presence;
(B) bilateral and multilateral exercises with partners and
allies;
(C) improved infrastructure;
(D) increased prepositioning of United States equipment
throughout Europe; and
(E) building partnership capacity for allies and partners.
(14) The European Reassurance Initiative has served as a
valuable tool in strengthening the partnerships with the
North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) as well as
partnerships with non-member allies in the region.
(15) As a result of the NATO 2014 Summit in Wales, NATO has
initiated a Readiness Action Plan to increase partner nation
funding and resourcing to combat Russian aggression. NATO's
efforts with the Readiness Action Plan and United States
investment in regional security through the European
Reassurance Initiative will serve to continue and reinforce
the strength and fortitude of the alliance against nefarious
actors.
(16) The President's Budget Request for fiscal year 2016
includes $789.3 million to continue the European Reassurance
Initiative focus on increased United States military troop
rotations in support of Operation Atlantic Resolve,
maintaining and further expanding increasing regional
exercises, and building partnership capacity.
(b) Statement of Policy.--It is the policy of the United
States to continue and expand its efforts in Europe to
reassure United States allies and partners and deter further
aggression and intimidation by the Russian Government, in
order to enhance security and stability in the region. This
policy shall include--
(1) continued use of conventional methods, including
increased United States military presence in Europe,
exercises and training with allies and partners, increasing
infrastructure, prepositioning of United States military
equipment in Europe, and building partnership capacity;
(2) increased emphasis on countering unconventional warfare
methods in areas such as cyber warfare, economic warfare,
information operations, and intelligence operations,
including increased efforts in the development of strategy,
operational concepts, capabilities, and technologies; and
(3) increased security assistance to allies and partners in
Europe, including the provision of both non-lethal equipment
and lethal equipment of a defensive nature to Ukraine.

competitive environment, the acquisition strategy and
contracting plan should eliminate the currently structured
evolved expendable launch vehicle launch capability
arrangement;

environment, the Secretary should acquire launch services in
a manner consistent with a full and open competition;
(4) the Secretary should be consistent and fair with
evolved expendable launch vehicle providers regarding the

contract types, and the appropriate audits to protect the
taxpayer; and
(5) the Secretary should--
(A) consider various contracting approaches, including
launch capability arrangements with multiple certified
providers, to meet the objectives identified in the
acquisition strategy developed under subsection (d); and
(B) continue to provide the necessary stability in
budgeting and acquisition of capabilities as well as the
flexibility to the Federal Government to appropriately manage
the launch manifest in case of delays in the delivery of
satellites or other changes to mission requirements.

(1) Discontinuation.--The Secretary of the Air Force shall
discontinue the evolved expendable launch vehicle launch
capability arrangement, as structured as of the date of the

obligations of the contracts relating to such arrangement, as
of the date of the enactment of this Act, have been met; or
(B) December 31, 2020.
(2) Waiver.--The Secretary may waive paragraph (1) if the
Secretary--
(A) determines that such waiver is necessary for the
national security interests of the United States;
(B) notifies the congressional defense committees of such
waiver; and
(C) a period of 90 days has elapsed following the date of
such notification.
(c) Consistent Standards.--In accordance with section 2306a
of title 10, United States Code, the Secretary shall--

economical commercial sealift capacity, assures a United
States-flag presence in international commerce, supports a
pool of qualified United States merchant mariners needed to
crew United States-flag vessels during times of war or
national emergency, and serves as a critical component of our
national security infrastructure.

TRANSPORTATION REGARDING UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE
AND VESSEL OPERATORS.

Sections 3305 and 3306(n) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986 are each amended by striking ``Secretary of Commerce''
each place that it appears and inserting ``Secretary of
Transportation''.

FOR PURPOSES OF ELIGIBILITY FOR CERTIFICATE OF
INSPECTION.

amended by striking ``may'' and inserting ``shall''.

Amendment No. 2 Offered by Mr. Polis

The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 2
printed in House Report 114-112.
Mr. POLIS. Mr. Chairman, I have an amendment at the desk.
The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:

At the end of subtitle C of title I, insert the following
new section:

SEC. 1__. MODIFICATION OF REQUIREMENT FOR CERTAIN NUMBER OF
AIRCRAFT CARRIERS OF THE NAVY.

(a) In General.--Section 5062(b) of title 10, United States
Code, is amended by striking ``11'' and inserting ``10''.
(b) Conforming Repeal.--Section 1023 of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 (Public Law
111-84; 123 Stat. 2447) is repealed.

The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 260, the gentleman
from Colorado (Mr. Polis) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Colorado.
Mr. POLIS. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
Mr. Chairman, it is currently stated in permanent law the Navy, under
law, must maintain at all times 11 aircraft carriers. That is an
arbitrary restrictive requirement--perhaps, they should have more;
perhaps, they should have less.
My amendment would simply grant the Navy the flexibility to choose
their needs and requirements in a rapidly evolving world, setting the
floor of 10 carriers, rather than 11.
It is important to point out that the Navy is currently operating
under a waiver from this very law for 10 active carriers anyway. My
amendment simply conforms the underlying law to the reality that
already exists.
In some ways, this amendment is really about giving the Navy control
over spending choices. Aircraft carriers are expensive. Everybody knows
that. At its heart, this amendment is about empowering the Navy to help
determine its own fate in evolving and how we can best put our sailors
in the best position to combat present and future threats.
I don't think any of us in Congress can sit here today and see what
the future of naval warfare is. We might see an open ocean conflict in
10 years, or we might see shallow waterways under duress in 30 years.
To be sure, carriers have played a historic role in establishing a
naval dominance we enjoy today, but so did battleships of decades past.
We can't let ourselves be mired in our past success, even though,
today, we no longer have a single battleship in the force.
The point being, the threats of the next 30 years will evolve.
Carriers likely will be an important part of that equation, but they
are not a perfect tool for every threat.
As former Secretary Gates himself said:

Consider the massive overmatch the U.S. already enjoys.
Consider, too, the growing antiship capabilities of
adversaries. Do we really need 11 carrier strike groups for
30 years when no other country has more than one?

I don't think we, as a political body, are here to answer that; but I
think by removing the arbitrary limit that forces the Navy at all
times--unless they have a waiver--to have 11 active aircraft carrier
groups prevents the Navy from evolving with the times.
We face a number of threats, whether it is fighting ISIS in the
Middle East or ongoing operations in Afghanistan or rising threats from
Asia or global piracy, but it is clear these threats require a broad
range of tools, not just the largest and most expensive tool that we
can find.

{time} 1630

Aircraft carriers are likely to remain necessary and are an essential
tool of force projection. They help us maintain our status as the first
station to arrive on the scene, and they are often the first persons on
the scene in the conflict as part of carrier strike groups. All of the
tools the Navy needs cost money. When you are looking at unmanned
aircraft assets that can deploy from other types of ships, just as with
the battleships of yesteryear, there was a time when our carriers were
invincible. Naval experts aren't so sure anymore.
It is not that these challenges can't be overcome. We have faced
challenges before, but requiring the Navy to keep 11 carriers for the
next several decades in permanent law is an arbitrary minimum and
limits the Navy's flexibility to make the critical spending decisions
to maximize our national security.
We know we can't afford everything, certainly not if we play by the
budget rules and caps that we, ourselves, have written, so let's not
make this whole thing harder by arbitrarily requiring 11 carriers for
political reasons rather than maximizing our national defense.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. FORBES. Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to the amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Virginia is recognized for 5
minutes.
Mr. FORBES. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from
Virginia (Mr. Wittman), the distinguished chairman of the Readiness
Subcommittee.
Mr. WITTMAN. Mr. Chairman, when a crisis arises and American lives
and interests are at risk, the first question decisionmakers ask is:
Where are the carriers?
An 11 aircraft carrier fleet is central to U.S. defense and
diplomatic policy. A robust fleet of carriers makes Ronald Reagan's
timeless adage of ``peace through strength'' possible.
Recently, the USS Theodore Roosevelt responded to Iran's seizure of a
cargo ship, and its actions helped to keep the vital shipping lanes in
the Middle East safe and open. The Roosevelt continues to sail in the
gulf, and its courageous crew is currently conducting operations
against ISIS.
The USS Roosevelt provides a perfect example of the crucial role
aircraft carriers play in the defense and in the prosperity of our
Nation. To reduce our aircraft carrier fleet puts our ability to defend
our Nation and our critical interest around the globe at risk. I urge
my colleagues to oppose this amendment.
Mr. FORBES. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from
Connecticut (Mr. Courtney), the ranking member of the Seapower and
Projection Forces Subcommittee.
Mr. COURTNEY. Mr. Chairman, just to reiterate the prior point, a few
weeks ago, the Iranian Government attempted to send a fleet of ships
bearing arms for Houthi rebels in Yemen, a mission that would further
drive that region into a dangerous failed state. Luckily, for the
world, the USS Theodore Roosevelt, a Navy aircraft carrier, led a
carrier group into the waters off Yemen and blocked the delivery of
those weapons.
It is the quintessential platform: an aircraft carrier that can
respond to external threats, such as the one a few weeks ago, at a time
when there is a resurgent Russian Navy that is back, intruding on the
territorial waters of Scandinavian allies, when a Chinese PLA Navy is
creating island military outposts in international waters, and, as was
mentioned earlier, when ISIS' advance is being confronted by U.S.
airstrikes flown off U.S. carriers.
Cutting our fleet to 10 from 11 will cripple our Nation's ability to
respond to these challenges and will reverse last year's decision by
Congress to refuel the George Washington ahead of schedule to ensure
the capability of an 11-ship fleet. Nothing in the testimony we have
heard in the House Armed Services Committee suggests that the Navy can
get by with fewer carriers. In fact, it is the exact opposite. Eleven
is the minimum we need in order to meet the missions of today and in
the future.
The Seapower report on carriers is a balanced plan for America's
carrier fleet. Let's vote this amendment down and move forward with
that plan.
Mr. FORBES. Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.

[[Page H3156]]

Mr. POLIS. Mr. Chairman, may I inquire as to how much time remains.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Colorado has 1\1/2\ minutes
remaining.
Mr. POLIS. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
At multiple points over the last 5 years, the Navy has only had 10
carriers. They actually had to request a waiver from the current law.
This is ridiculous to put the Navy through this political
decisionmaking process rather than a military decision process about
the number of carrier groups that exist.
On a basic level, this idea of statutorily requiring weapons for
future decades makes very little sense. Do we tell the Army, ``You need
precisely X number of tanks for Desert Storm; therefore, you have to
have `this many' tanks for the next 30 years''? Do we tell the Air
Force, ``You need `this many' helicopters for Somalia; therefore, you
have to have exactly `this many' regardless of changing threats or
challenges or budgetary realities''?
That is exactly what this amendment will help change in order to give
the naval force the flexibility it needs to meet the changing dangers
of the world.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. FORBES. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the distinguished
gentleman from Washington (Mr. Kilmer).
Mr. KILMER. Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to the amendment.
While I respect the sponsor's intent on reducing spending, shrinking
our carrier fleet is not the way to do it.
Our fleet of aircraft carriers is the envy of the world because of
the power and capability that they bring to bear. A fleet of 11
carriers allows the United States to be a powerful force of stability
around the globe, that keeps sea lanes open and protects our merchant
fleet against hostile governments and piracy. They allow our troops to
respond quickly to natural disasters and humanitarian crises all over
the world.
Reducing the number of aircraft carriers would have bad consequences.
It would reduce our ability to protect ourselves and our interests
abroad. It would have a dramatic impact on the morale of men and women
who serve on them as longer deployments place an unfair burden on these
sailors; and it would result in longer and more expensive maintenance
to be conducted, reducing the time the vessels are able to react when
needed.
For these reasons and others, I must urge my colleagues to oppose
this amendment.
Mr. FORBES. Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. POLIS. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself the balance of my time.
The Department of Defense is in the midst of a major reality check as
the global threat changes, as budgets shrink, and as new technologies
emerge, but where we go from here should be up to our naval experts,
not Congress. At $14.2 billion apiece, one less carrier would allow the
Navy to prioritize other programs, like increasing the capabilities of
less costly, unmanned assets.

This amendment is about breaking down the walling off of defense
spending for political reasons. We should be enabling those charged
with our national defense to make the decisions they need to make for
national interests. It simply doesn't stand up to the commonsense test
that we would require in law an arbitrary number of carriers, so I urge
the adoption of my amendment.
I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. FORBES. Mr. Chairman, in closing, I do agree with the gentleman
that it is difficult to project what our seapower needs would be out
two decades down the road or even a decade down the road, but we must
try. That is why you will see a bipartisan opposition to his amendment.
One thing about each of the individuals who spoke in opposition to
his amendment is that I sit side by side with them in classified
hearings and in nonclassified hearings as we try to make those
projections, because, under the Constitution, we have to raise Armies
and we have to maintain Navies, and to create the carriers that we
would need would take 6 to 9 years. We don't have that option when we
need them.
Had we not stepped in as a Congress, we would never have had a
carrier with the strike capability, because the Pentagon actually
wanted them for ISR capabilities. Had Congress not stepped in, we
wouldn't have had Tomahawk missiles because the Pentagon actually was
not going to try to produce them. Without Congress' stepping in, we
would not have had jointness.
The reason we have to step in for this number of carriers is that, as
you have heard mentioned, if we don't have these carriers, we will
automatically go from 7 months deployment for our sailors on these
carriers to as many as 9 months or 10 months--an extra 2 to 3 months.
Ask those families what an imposition that is.
The second thing, Mr. Chairman, is, if we don't have them, we will
have gaps in the national defense of this country. As my friend Mr.
Courtney mentioned, just recently, we had a carrier out there for 54
days, fighting ISIL, when we had no other capabilities of doing it. Had
we not had that carrier, we would have had difficulties as a country.
The third thing is, by not having these carriers, we run our other
carriers harder, faster, and burn them out more. Essentially, we are
consuming the next generation's national defense.
The final thing, Mr. Chairman, is, if you were to look just a few
years ago, our commanders around the globe were able to meet 90 percent
of the requirements they needed for the United States Navy. This year,
we will only meet 44 percent of those requirements. If we allow this
amendment, there will be a commander somewhere who won't have that
carrier group when he needs it. I hope we defeat this amendment.
Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Polis).
The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the noes
appeared to have it.
Mr. FORBES. Mr. Chairman, I demand a recorded vote.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further
proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Colorado
will be postponed.

concerns owned and controlled by service-disabled veterans,
qualified HUBZone small business concerns, small business
concerns owned and controlled by socially and economically
disadvantaged individuals, and small business concerns owned

business concerns owned and controlled by socially and
economically disadvantaged individuals, and small business

Amendment No. 94 Offered by Mr. Engel of New York

Page 548, line 22, after ``through 2018'' insert ``while
also maintaining a focus on the protection of human rights''.

The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 260, the gentleman
from Texas (Mr. Thornberry) and the gentleman from Texas (Mr. O'Rourke)
each will control 10 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Texas.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself 30 seconds.
There are, I believe, 19 amendments in this en bloc package from both
Republicans and Democrats. Both Republicans and Democrats have
contributed to this bill, and I hope all of the Members who have
sponsored the 19 amendments that are included in this package will vote
for the final passage of the bill, because, if you get an amendment
adopted but then you vote against the final passage, you have pretty
much negated your own work. I hope that is not the case. I hope Members
on both sides of the aisle support its final passage.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. O'ROURKE. Mr. Chairman, I claim the time in opposition, although
I am not opposed to the amendments.
The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, the gentleman from Texas is
recognized for 10 minutes.
There was no objection.
Mr. O'ROURKE. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from
Massachusetts (Mr. McGovern).
Mr. McGOVERN. I thank the ranking member, and I thank the chairman
for including my amendment in the en bloc set of amendments.
Mr. Chairman, my amendment would simply create a service medal to be
awarded to atomic veterans or their surviving family members in honor
of their service and sacrifice to our Nation.
Between 1945 and 1962, 225,000 members of our Armed Forces
participated in hundreds of nuclear weapons tests. The atomic veterans
were placed in extremely dangerous areas, constantly exposed to
dangerous levels of radiation in the performance of their duties. They
were sworn to secrecy, unable to even talk to their doctors about their
past exposure to radiation.
Thankfully, Presidents Clinton and George H. W. Bush recognized the
atomic veterans' valiant service and acted to provide specialized care
and compensation for their harrowing duty.
One of my constituents, Joe Mondello from Shrewsbury, Massachusetts,
is an atomic veteran and is very proud of his service to our country.
Like me, he believes it is past time for the Defense Department to
honor with a medal the unique service carried out by atomic veterans.
The DOD has claimed that it would be too difficult to identify which
veterans would be awarded this medal. Thankfully, the U.S. Code clearly
identifies exactly which veterans are considered atomic veterans.
This is a good amendment, and I urge the support of it.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from
Louisiana (Mr. Scalise), the distinguished House majority whip.
Mr. SCALISE. I thank the gentleman from Texas for yielding the time.
Mr. Chairman, I want to present an amendment that is bipartisan and
that deals with AbilityOne agencies.
The Department of Defense has created three procurement programs for
Afghanistan, central Asian states, and Djibouti to support businesses
and local economies in these countries and to cultivate positive
relationships in the region and the world. The problem is, while I
surely appreciate their intentions, there have been unintended
consequences with this program in implementing these programs.
The GSA has allowed businesses located in these countries to supply
products manufactured by AbilityOne agencies, which employ blind and
disabled Americans. The result of that policy has been devastating to
many of these AbilityOne agencies across the country. We have seen job
losses here in America in implementing this new policy by the
Department of Defense.
This amendment addresses the problem of these job losses by exempting
those AbilityOne agencies from this Department of Defense procurement
program. If you look at what has happened with this program, we have
seen facilities not only in Louisiana but in States like New York,
Texas, Ohio, Kansas, North Carolina, Nebraska, and Washington all
experience job losses here in America from shipping those jobs over to
foreign countries.
Again, I think--or I surely would hope--that that was not the
intention of the program, Mr. Chairman, to take jobs away from disabled
Americans and ship those jobs overseas.

{time} 1645

So what this amendment does is restore those jobs back here in
America for those blind and other disabled Americans who have one of
the highest underemployment populations in the country. Let's keep
those jobs here. We can continue building relations with other
countries, but just not at the expense of American jobs for disabled
workers. That is what the amendment does.
Mr. Chairman, I would like to yield to the gentleman from Louisiana
(Mr. Boustany), who is a cosponsor.
Mr. BOUSTANY. Mr. Chairman, I thank the gentleman, the majority whip,
for yielding to me. I rise in support of this bipartisan amendment.
This amendment basically exempts AbilityOne products from certain DOD
procurement programs in this legislation. These procurement programs
have severely affected Louisiana's disabled workers in the recent past,
and in Louisiana alone these programs have forced disabled workers to
be laid off to the tune of approximately $18 million in lost revenue,
so while I believe it is important to support these critical overseas
partners that we have as they rebuild their economies, we also need to
focus on jobs here at home. That is why I have cosponsored this. It is
a commonsense amendment. It is revenue neutral. I strongly believe that
this amendment will allow AbilityOne disabled workers nationwide to
hold on to jobs.

[[Page H3161]]

Mr. O'ROURKE. Mr. Chairman, I yield 4 minutes to the gentleman from
Maryland (Mr. Hoyer), the distinguished minority whip.
Mr. HOYER. I thank the gentleman for yielding.
Mr. Chairman, I want to thank both Mr. Smith, the ranking member, and
Mr. Thornberry, the chairman of this committee, for working very hard
on this bill. Both of them are responsible leaders in this House and
work well together to make sure that our national security is well
served. I regret, therefore, that I will be opposing this bill for
reasons that I will discuss.
Both have been fighting tirelessly for the defense authorization bill
that gives our troops the tools they need to achieve their mission's
objectives, enhance our national security, and bolster key U.S.
partners. These are, of course, positive aspects of this bill.
I particularly commend my friend Gwen Graham for authoring an
amendment that will help develop a joint U.S.-Israeli anti-tunneling
system, which is included in this bill. Representative Marc Veasey had
an amendment adopted in committee that asked the Pentagon to explore
the effects of the DACA program on military recruitment. Congressman
Gallego worked hard to get language included in the bill expressing the
sense of Congress that DREAMers, undocumented immigrants who were
brought here as children, ought to be able to serve the country they
love in our military and be rewarded for that service with a chance to
stay here legally.
I think that is common sense. Some across the aisle have made it
their mission to remove that language from the bill. I urge my
colleagues to defeat that amendment, given how important these issues
are and that the language in the bill does not force the Defense
Department to take any action it does not deem to be in the best
interests of the national security. The amendment striking this
provision, as I said, ought to be defeated.
The bill contains provisions that continue to prevent President
Obama, however, from finally closing the detention center at Guantanamo
Bay. Not only does that facility cost taxpayers $2.4 million per
detainee. I know my budget hawks think, well, $2.4 million to keep one
person in jail for a year, that makes sense. I disagree with you on
that if you think that. But not only does it cost way too much, it is a
blot against our country in the eyes of the world and in the hearts of
so many of our own citizens here at home.
Furthermore, in his budget request, the President laid out a path to
lift the sequester level, which is undermining our national security.
Hear me. The sequester that this bill honors by exception is
undermining the national security of America.
This bill, however, perpetuates the sequester for everything except
that which some think is important. I share their view that national
security is critically important. For 34 years in the authorization
bills and on the appropriation bills, I have been a strong supporter of
a robust national security, whether it was President Reagan or
President Bush or President Clinton or President Bush or, yes,
President Obama.
I do not yield to anybody on this floor in my support of national
security over those three-and-a-half decades, but our national security
is being put at risk because we are honoring sequester in this bill.
Not only are we honoring sequester in this bill, we are, in fact--for
the investments in education, in infrastructure, in the environment--
undermining our country's well-being. For that reason alone, I will
vote against this bill until we fix the sequester and take care of
America's national security.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself 1 minute.
Mr. Chairman, I, too, regret that the distinguished minority whip has
chosen not to support this bipartisan legislation. It is absolutely
true that this bill does not fix sequester for all those nondefense
issues, and as I mentioned yesterday, I think there are a lot of people
on both sides of the aisle who would like to find something better than
the Budget Control Act--with the caps and sequester--to deal with our
budgeting.
But that is not what a defense authorization bill is or does or can
do. So the idea that we would hold our military and their pay and their
weapons and the policies involved hostage in the hopes that we can put
enough pressure to have the President and Congress somehow come
together to fix all these other problems, I just think that is
unrealistic, and I am afraid that that is not fair to the people we
support with this legislation. I think that is an unfortunate political
tactic that some have chosen to take that puts our men and women at
greater risk. They ought to get better from us.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. O'ROURKE. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from
New Jersey (Mr. Pascrell).
Mr. PASCRELL. Mr. Speaker, my amendment would direct the Department
of Defense to conduct a study on blast injury mechanics covering a wide
range of primary blast injury conditions, including traumatic brain
injury, in order to accelerate solution development in this critical
area.
As the co-chair and cofounder of the Congressional Brain Injury Task
Force, I have spent the last 14 years fighting for patients with brain
injuries, both on and off the battlefield. We all know that TBI is the
signature wound of the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, and while we
have made great progress on ensuring our soldiers have the best care,
there is still more work to be done.
The DOD's peer-reviewed Psychological Health and Traumatic Brain
Injury Research Program conducts extensive research on TBI. However,
little is known about a primary blast injury and its connection to TBI.
Researchers still do not know the exact mechanisms by which a primary
blast injury damages the brain cells and circuits. Understanding how a
primary blast injury affects the brain is imperative to developing
appropriate prevention measures, including ensuring proper equipment.
I urge my colleagues to support the amendment in the en bloc.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the distinguished
gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Messer).
Mr. MESSER. Mr. Chairman, I rise today in support of the en bloc
amendment and the underlying bill. My amendment language would simply
require a study of the effects of any final EPA ozone rule on our
military readiness.
Mr. Chairman, we all want a healthy planet, but we must also
recognize the real world consequences of any regulations that we pass.
For example, according to NERA Economic Consulting, stricter ozone
standards could reduce U.S. GDP by $1.7 trillion over 20 years, killing
340,000 jobs in Indiana alone.
The EPA ozone rule will no doubt affect our military readiness as
well. Estimates show 11 million acres of land under DOD control could
be impacted. Tighter ozone standards could force imposition of new
emission controls on our military vehicles. Military air bases could be
impacted as well. No matter what you think of the EPA ozone rule, we
should all agree that we ought to know how the final rule impacts our
military readiness.
Congress has no more important responsibility than protecting our
national security. I urge my colleagues to support the amendment.
Mr. O'ROURKE. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from
New York (Mr. Engel).
Mr. ENGEL. I thank the gentleman for yielding me the time.
Mr. Chairman, I rise in strong support of three measures I offered
that are part of this and a later en bloc amendment.
First is an amendment I coauthored with the Committee on Foreign
Affairs chairman, Ed Royce. For more than 4 years, the Assad regime has
rained down terror on its own citizens in the form of barrel bombs in
Syria. Thousands upon thousands of Syrians have abandoned their homes
and spilled across the border into Lebanon, Turkey, and Jordan. They
are begging the world for help. While it wouldn't nearly solve this
problem, a no-fly zone or a safe zone would provide a glimmer of hope
for these people. Our amendment would require the Pentagon leaders to
take a hard look at the feasibility of establishing a no-fly zone.
My second amendment would require the Pentagon to report to Congress
on the way reductions in U.S. military readiness in Europe would affect
NATO's core mission of collective defense. This report would be
required before any reduction in Europe takes

[[Page H3162]]

place. I view Vladimir Putin's aggression as the greatest threat to
European security since World War II. Today, NATO's article 5 must
remain a credible deterrent. My amendment takes a step in that
direction.
Finally, I offered legislation to make sure U.S. training programs
for Afghan National Security Forces include training on the protection
of human rights. Since the defeat of the Taliban in 2001, not enough
has been done to make human rights protections a priority for law
enforcement agencies in Afghanistan. This issue should be a major part
of our training efforts.
I urge my colleagues to support these provisions.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the distinguished
gentleman from New York (Mr. Hanna).
Mr. HANNA. I thank the chairman for yielding.
Mr. Chairman, across our Nation, aviation is quickly changing. Today,
basic unmanned aircraft can be purchased for a few hundred dollars,
flown virtually anywhere by an operator with little or no experience.
When a small quadcopter landed on the east lawn of the White House in
January, we saw the potential danger of such aircraft. In my district,
the Air Force Research Laboratory in Rome, New York, working with
NUAIR, is one of the six FAA test sites in the country to integrate
these systems into our national airspace. We are on the cutting edge of
advances in UAVs, unmanned aerial aircraft. My amendment would simply
require the Secretary of Defense to conduct a departmentwide review of
its current capacities to detect, identify, and remotely disarm
unmanned aircraft.
It would further require the Secretary to examine how the Department
of Research and Development resources can be leveraged to enhance these
capacities. Within the Department of Defense, some of our Nation's most
advanced research is taking place.
I appreciate the committee's recognition and including this in the en
bloc.
Mr. O'ROURKE. I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Virginia (Mr.
Connolly).
Mr. CONNOLLY. I thank my friend for yielding me the time.
Mr. Chairman, I rise today in support of a bipartisan amendment I
introduced with my colleague, the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Chabot).
This amendment prohibits the authorization of funds to implement any
action that recognizes Russian sovereignty over the Crimea. The
language mirrors my legislation, H.R. 93, the Crimea Annexation Non-
recognition Act, which passed out of the House Committee on Foreign
Affairs unanimously.

{time} 1700

It also is consistent with language included in the CR/Omnibus signed
into law in December.
Russia's illegal annexation of Crimea undermines Ukrainian
sovereignty and sets a dangerous precedent that cannot be overstated.
The U.S. must make a simple, declarative statement on Russia's illegal
annexation. This bipartisan amendment does just that.
I also want to thank the Armed Services Committee leadership and
staff for working with us on three other amendments that promote
monitoring and evaluation for humanitarian assistance programs, improve
management of information technology projects, and foster better
communication between government and industry.
I thank both Mr. Thornberry and Mr. Smith for their leadership.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from
Ohio (Mr. Chabot), chair of the Small Business Committee.
Mr. CHABOT. I thank the gentleman for yielding.
Mr. Chairman, I rise today as chairman of the House Small Business
Committee to support the en bloc amendment, which includes the
bipartisan amendment offered by Mr. Connolly of Virginia and myself. It
is really commonsense acquisition reform.
There are numerous small business contracting programs aimed at
ensuring that the Department of Defense has a reliable small business
technological and industrial base, but we rarely look at the results of
these programs. The current method used to assess the health of the
small business base focuses almost exclusively on one factor, and that
is prime contract dollars.
While this is an important factor, we are missing a lot of the
picture. For example, the current method ignores the fact that since
2013 we have lost over 25 percent of the small firms registered to do
business with the Federal Government. That is over 100,000 small
businesses that are no longer competing for contracts.
We also have a declining small business participation rate, which
threatens the core principle of competition. It is basic supply and
demand: when there are fewer offers, prices go up. And that harms the
taxpayer. That is what we are trying to deal with.
I urge my colleagues to support this.
Mr. O'ROURKE. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from
Hawaii (Mr. Takai).
Mr. TAKAI. Mr. Chairman, this bipartisan amendment will help men and
women in the armed services that gain experience in maritime trades
during their military career to transition into careers in the U.S.
merchant marine so they can continue to serve our country.
This program will provide access to training opportunities necessary
to meet the requirements for licenses and certificates of registry.
The program established by my amendment will help build on past
successes, allowing the tens of thousands of currently serving military
servicemembers in the maritime trades to leave the military fully
licensed to serve in the U.S. merchant marine.
We can fix this now and, in doing so, not only allow already
qualified servicemembers a better opportunity to find a job, but a
chance to continue to ensure our national security.
A strong, domestic maritime industry is a critical component of our
national security strategy. We must ensure that an adequate supply of
mariners is available to support this industry. This not only preserves
American security, but it preserves American jobs.
I urge my colleagues to support this amendment.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my
time.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself the balance of my time.
Mr. Chairman, I would simply note that I am pleased to support the
amendments that we have just discussed en bloc.
I noticed the amendments offered by our Democratic colleagues include
such important issues as Russia, traumatic brain injury, a Syrian no-
fly zone, human rights in Afghanistan, and maritime job training. All
are important issues, and I appreciate the contributions of all the
Members who authored these amendments, who presented them, and who have
argued for them here before the House.
I hope, Mr. Chairman, that all of those Members will not just throw
away the results of their efforts by voting against final passage
because voting against final passage essentially means all of this work
that they have put in goes for nothing.
Members on both sides of the aisle have contributed to this product.
Members on both sides of the aisle need to contribute to having it
become law.
With that, I encourage Members on both sides to support the en bloc
package, and I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I ask unanimous consent to
reclaim the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. Is there objection to the request of the gentleman
from Washington?
There was no objection.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. I take the chairman's point, but it is one
that really doesn't make any sense from a legislative standpoint.
Anybody who has ever voted knows that you can like portions of a bill
and still vote against the bill. I don't think there is a legislator
alive who hasn't ever been in that position.
So this idea that if you get something, anything, however small in
the bill, you are then somehow morally obligated to vote for it, goes
against every aspect of legislating that I have ever seen.
It is our constant challenge as legislators that we have pieces of
legislation before us where there is a lot in it that we like and there
is some in it

[[Page H3163]]

that we don't like. And you have got to decide.
So I reject the argument that if you get something in this bill, you
have to vote for it.
I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I ask unanimous consent to reclaim the
balance of the time that I yielded back.
The Acting CHAIR. Is there objection to the request of the gentleman
from Texas?
There was no objection.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I appreciate the point that the
gentleman made. My point is that for 53 years this product has been the
result of bipartisan effort. And never before, I don't believe, have we
had a party decision to oppose the NDAA in order to try to leverage it
for some purpose outside of defense. And yet that is what is happening
here.
So my point is simple. I appreciate the contributions that Members on
both sides have made. It is not some little something that the Members
have just gotten in here. These are important issues: traumatic brain
injury, Russia, Syria, human rights, maritime job training. They are
significant contributions.
But my point is not necessarily a moral one, it is a practical one.
You work to get these amendments included in the bill, but then if you
vote against the bill and it goes down in defeat, what have you
accomplished? Nothing.
So I hope that Members on both sides who have made contributions and
who do support a strong military will rethink the position that they
are being asked to take with this bill.
With that, I yield back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendments en bloc offered
by the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Thornberry).
The en bloc amendments were agreed to.

Amendment No. 5 Offered by Mr. Brooks of Alabama

The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 5
printed in House Report 114-112.
Mr. BROOKS of Alabama. Mr. Chairman, I have an amendment at the desk.
The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:

Strike section 538 (page 179, beginning line 6), relating
to a sense of the House of Representatives regarding
Secretary of Defense review of section 504 of title 10,
United States Code, regarding enlisting certain aliens in the
Armed Forces.

The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 260, the gentleman
from Alabama (Mr. Brooks) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Alabama.
Mr. BROOKS of Alabama. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the
gentleman from Texas (Mr. Thornberry), chairman of the House Armed
Services Committee
Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I rise in support of the Brooks
amendment. I opposed the Gallego amendment when it was considered in
committee, and I remain opposed to bringing the sensitive issue of
immigration into the defense authorization bill.
There are Members on both sides of the aisle with a variety of
positions when it comes to immigration, but a Defense Authorization Act
is not the appropriate time or place to have this debate.
Remember, the Gallego language does not change any law. It is a sense
of Congress that the Secretary should review existing authorities. So
having sensitive debate when there can be no result that changes
anything only distracts from the essential provisions in this bill that
do matter to our troops and our Nation's security.
I notice that the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee has
said publicly: ``We're not going to do anything on immigration in the
NDAA.'' That is my view as well.
Therefore, Mr. Chairman, I support the Brooks amendment to remove
this provision now so that we can better focus on the things that are
essential for our troops and our security.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I claim the time in opposition
to the amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the
gentleman from Arizona (Mr. Gallego).
Mr. GALLEGO. Mr. Chairman, the DREAMers in this country are deeply
patriotic.
For many, America is the only country they have ever known. It is the
country they love and call home. Many want nothing more than the chance
to serve the United States in uniform.
The Brooks amendment cruelly seeks to deny these talented young
people that opportunity. It would strike my amendment encouraging the
Secretary of Defense to use his authority under existing law to enable
DACA recipients to enlist.
If we approve this amendment, we leave the deeply unjust status quo
unchanged. Right now, in America, DREAMers can be drafted into the
military, but they can't sign up to serve in the military force they
choose. That is simply unacceptable. These young people are Americans
in every respect, except on paper.
I fought in Iraq, and I know what really matters on the battlefield
isn't whether you have the right papers; it is whether you have the
heart to fight, patriotism for your country, and the right character.
Mr. Chairman, for the good of our country, I hope we will defeat this
deeply misguided Brooks amendment.
Mr. BROOKS of Alabama. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the
gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Goodlatte), chairman of the Judiciary
Committee.
Mr. GOODLATTE. Mr. Chair, I thank the gentleman for yielding, and I
support his amendment.
The House should not take action to legitimize the President's
unconstitutional overreach regarding immigration, especially that of
creating a program to defer removal for an entire class of hundreds of
thousands of unlawful aliens.
The gentleman's amendment is necessary to preserve the Congress'
constitutionally guaranteed plenary power over immigration law and
policy.
Whether and how to deal with unlawful aliens brought to the U.S. as
minors by their parents is a question that we should debate thoroughly.
And any legislative efforts regarding these individuals should move
through regular order in the House Judiciary Committee, which has
jurisdiction over immigration law and policy.
Legitimate concerns must be considered when discussing this issue,
not the least of which is whether the parents who brought the minor to
the U.S. illegally should be able to ultimately benefit from the
illegal activity by becoming permanent residents based on the legal
status of the minor they brought here illegally in the first place. As
the policy currently stands, that will happen if any Deferred Action
for Childhood Arrivals recipient enlists in the military.
I urge my colleagues to support this amendment.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the
gentlewoman from the great State of Washington (Ms. Herrera Beutler).
Ms. HERRERA BEUTLER. Mr. Chair, Jesus said that there is no greater
love than to lay down your life for your friend. Abraham Lincoln said
that giving your life for your country is the last full measure of
devotion. And that is why I am opposed to this amendment.
I am proud that, in America, citizenship means something. It is
worthy to be earned. Amnesty, to me, means giving it away, and I don't
support that.
I do support the ability to earn citizenship. If a person has the
courage and conviction to take the oath and to join our Nation's
warriors to defend you and me, what more can they do to prove their
allegiance?
The military is not a jobs program. And if someone through their
merit and hard work earns acceptance into that elite fighting force,
where they could die defending you and me, then I leave you with this
question: What country's flag would you have draped on the casket of
that brave soul?
Mr. BROOKS of Alabama. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the
gentleman from Texas (Mr. Smith) of the Science, Space, and Technology
Committee.
Mr. SMITH of Texas. Mr. Chairman, I thank my friend from Alabama for
yielding, and I support his amendment.
The House already has voted against the President's executive amnesty
several times.

[[Page H3164]]

The language this amendment seeks to strike would legitimize the
President's unlawful immigration actions, which violates Congress'
constitutional authority over immigration policy. Serving in our
military forces and defending our country should be a privilege
reserved for those who are citizens and legal U.S. residents.
I hope my colleagues will support this amendment and tell the
President: No more unlawful actions on immigration.
The Acting CHAIR. The Chair will remind Members to refrain from
engaging in personalities toward the President.

{time} 1715

Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the
gentleman from California (Mr. Aguilar).
Mr. AGUILAR. I thank the gentleman for yielding.
Mr. Chairman, our men and women who risk their lives every day to
keep our country safe and free deserve the utmost respect and
admiration. They are tasked with a responsibility far greater than the
rest of us.
It takes bravery and honor to put their lives on the line every day
to protect our Nation and to promote our ideals of liberty and freedom.
I believe we can all agree on this.
What I cannot believe or understand is that some of my Republican
colleagues think that it is fair to punish those who want to take on
this courageous responsibility simply because they have not yet been
granted full citizenship.
My colleague from Arizona's amendment passed out of committee and
merely recognizes the willingness of DREAMers, young people brought to
this country as children, to serve in the military for the country they
love. For most, this is the only country they have ever known. We
shouldn't allow our broken immigration system to stand in the way of
their distinguished military service.
I urge opposition to the Brooks amendment.
Mr. BROOKS of Alabama. Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time
for closing. How much time do I have?
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Alabama has 2\1/2\ minutes
remaining.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, who has the right to close on
this amendment?
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Washington has the right to
close.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. BROOKS of Alabama. Mr. Chairman, Americans in our Armed Forces
are being hammered with layoffs and reductions in force. Representative
Gallego's amendment to the NDAA worsens their plight.
Over the past 5 years, 92,000 Armed Forces positions were eliminated.
This year, 28,000 military positions will be eliminated. Over the next
4 years, another 38,000 military positions will be cut.
Between 2010 and 2019, the Armed Forces will eliminate a total of
158,000 uniformed personnel positions, thereby costing American
citizens and lawful immigrants 158,000 military service opportunities.
What is the result? Americans serving around the world today have
been handed ``pink slips'' while they are risking their lives for
America. That is outrageous.
For emphasis, there is no military recruitment and retention deficit
that justifies supplanting Americans and lawful immigrants with illegal
aliens.
In 2014, every branch of the military--the Army, the Navy, the Air
Force, the Marines--met their recruiting and retention requirements,
while turning away thousands of highly qualified Americans and lawful
immigrants.
Each year, there are a limited number of enlistment opportunities.
Each time Gallego's amendment helps an illegal alien enlist, an
American or lawful immigrant loses--loses--an enlistment opportunity.
The ratio is 1 to 1, period. That is the math.
This Congress should support and represent Americans by voting to
stop military service opportunities from being taken from struggling
American families in order to give them to illegal aliens.
As such, I urge this House to support my amendment to strike the
Gallego amendment from the National Defense Authorization Act.
Mr. Chairman, thank you for considering my thoughts and request.
I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself the balance of
my time.
First of all, let me just say I agree completely with the comments of
the gentlewoman from Washington (Ms. Herrera Beutler) and can't say it
any better, that, if you are willing to put your life on the line for
your country, then your country ought to accept you; and it truly is
your country.
Second of all, the United States military is not a jobs program. If
you are willing to show up and put your life on the line, then that
ought to be honored, and you ought to be accepted.
The notion that these people are taking jobs from Americans is,
frankly, one that doesn't make any sense. We are asking people to serve
in a very difficult job to defend our country. If people in this
country are willing to do this, we ought to, at a minimum, accept them.
I will even go further than that. The undocumented population in this
country is a population that, for too long, has been ignored and shoved
into the shadows. We all imagine that they are somehow different from
the rest of us, but I guarantee you everybody in this room knows
someone who is undocumented, and the overwhelming majority of them are
law-abiding people who have jobs, raise families, contribute to our
community.
They deserve an opportunity to be part of the country that they have
unquestionably claimed as their own.
Now, Mr. Gallego's amendment that we put on in committee is one small
piece of doing that, to give them the opportunity to serve in the
United States military, and then be given legal status.
I think we need to do a lot more than that. I think we need
comprehensive immigration reform so we can bring the undocumented
population out of the shadows, give them a path to citizenship.
I support Mr. Gallego's amendment. I oppose the effort by Mr. Brooks
to strip it. I think it is the least our country can do for someone who
is willing to fight and potentially die on our behalf, to give them
legal status, to treat them as the Americans that they truly are.
Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentleman from Alabama (Mr. Brooks).
The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes
appeared to have it.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I demand a recorded vote.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further
proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Alabama will
be postponed.

Amendment No. 15 Offered by Mrs. Walorski

The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 15

any individual detained in the custody or under the control
of the Department of Defense at United States Naval Station,
Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to the custody or control of the
Republic of Yemen or any entity within Yemen.

The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 260, the gentlewoman
from Indiana (Mrs. Walorski) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Indiana.
Mrs. WALORSKI. Mr. Chairman, I thank Chairman Thornberry for his
support of my amendment.
I just wanted to start out by saying this debate is fundamentally
about risk and trust. It is safe to assume the administration is
risking our national security for the sake of fulfilling a misguided
campaign promise. Simply put, we have too much at stake to trust an
executive order from the President.
My amendment protects our national security, further strengthens and
extends commonsense restrictions on Guantanamo transfers. It prohibits
detainees from coming to the U.S., policy which has, in the past, had
strong bipartisan support. In addition, it restricts the most dangerous
detainees from being transferred.
Finally, it bans transfers to Yemen, an al Qaeda stronghold, one of
the most dangerous places on Earth to set terrorists free.
When it comes to foreign policy and the security of the U.S.,
including the threat of Islamic extremism, President Obama doesn't seem
to get it. It seems like the only thing we can trust the administration
to do is underestimate the threat.
Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I claim the time in opposition
to the amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. I yield myself such time as I may consume.
Mr. Chairman, I oppose this amendment in large part because of the
broader debate over closing Guantanamo, and this amendment makes it
even more difficult to close Guantanamo, which is a policy we ought do.
Again, President Bush, Secretary Gates, endless string of military
leaders, and, in a bipartisan way, when John McCain was running for
President, people have said that we should close Guantanamo. It is not
a policy that we should continue.
For beginners, it costs nearly $3 million an inmate now to house them
there, when the ones that need to be kept can be safely housed in the
United States. We have proven that we are perfectly capable of locking
up terrorists and protecting our country.
We have well over 300 terrorists right now locked up in the United
States of America, including Ramzi Yousef, The Blind Sheik, Zacarias
Moussaoui, and a number of very, very bad guys. We can do it in the
U.S. We do not need Guantanamo.
Beyond that, the amendment here makes it very, very difficult to
transfer anybody, and a large number of inmates at Guantanamo have been
cleared for transfer. They have been deemed not to be a threat, and
they are cleared to be transferred. Mrs. Walorski's amendment would
make it pretty much impossible to transfer them.
These are people that we have already decided are not going to be a
threat, and now, we are going to pass an amendment saying we are simply
going to lock them up and hold them forever just because.
Now, I understand the because; the because is there is a risk, and I
am not going to deny that there is a risk if you release somebody.
I will say that the statistics on people returning to the fight who
have been in Guantanamo are very skewed. Back before 2008, I think, at
one point, we had as many as 700 inmates at Guantanamo; a lot of people
were released without proper care. Now, they were also brought there
without proper investigation to figure out whether or not they were
people we should legitimately pick up.
Since 2008, the percentage of the people who have been released who
have returned to the fight is less than 10 percent. It has gone down
considerably.
Beyond that, just as a basic system of justice, it is not our
principle here in the U.S. that, if there is any possibility whatsoever
that someone will reoffend, well, we are just going to lock you up
forever--that is not the principle of justice that we have.
We have a principle of justice that says you serve your time and then
you are let out. At Guantanamo, we have released a fair number of
people in the last year because they were deemed to not be a threat.
This amendment would eliminate our ability to do that and also make it
more difficult to close Guantanamo--which, again, $3 million an
inmate--when we can safely do it here.
Internationally, Guantanamo continues to be a blight on the U.S.
record. Now, I will not make the argument that some make that say this
is a recruitment tool--it is a recruitment tool for al Qaeda and like-
minded groups--but they have no shortage of recruitment tools. I am not
even going to begin to argue that somehow, if we close Guantanamo, they
would no longer be trying to attack us.
However, our allies, countries in Europe, other Arab states that want
to work with us to try to contain groups like ISIL and al Qaeda, they
have to deal with citizens who hate Guantanamo, who see it as a symbol
of injustice and a betrayal of their values and our values, so working
with our allies to properly confront the terrorist threat is made more
difficult by the presence of Guantanamo Bay prison.
I oppose this amendment. I will have an amendment after this one that
would give us a path to closing the prison, but I oppose this amendment
because it makes it more difficult to do what we ought to do in this
country, and that is close Guantanamo Bay prison.
Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mrs. WALORSKI. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from
Ohio (Mr. Wenstrup), an original cosponsor of this bill.
Mr. WENSTRUP. Mr. Chairman, I rise in support of the Walorski
amendment.
Today, sadly, the threat from radical terrorism only continues to
grow, and I take that threat very seriously.
Unfortunately, the administration is still determined to close
Guantanamo Bay detention facility, regardless of the risk that it poses
to U.S. national security.
As in previous conflicts, it is appropriate and lawful to hold
detainees and, in this case, until al Qaeda and associated forces are
defeated and surrender. Guantanamo is the safest and most appropriate
location. It is secure and relatively distant from the United States
and terrorist safe havens.
Guantanamo also provides humane conditions for the detainees. They
have appropriate access to health care, recreational activities, and
cultural and religious materials. Members of the House of
Representatives and others routinely visit Guantanamo and have seen the
conditions in which the dangerous detainees are held.
Additionally, data shows released Guantanamo detainees have a high
rate of recidivism. New reports indicate that the U.S. military and
intelligence community suspect that one of

[[Page H3166]]

the Taliban Five has attempted to return to the fight.
No one has escaped Guantanamo, unlike other terrorist detention
facilities around the world, and the facility has not been attacked,
unlike other facilities.
I ask for your support.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself 15 seconds.
No terrorist has escaped from a U.S. prison either, just to be
absolutely clear about that. I am not sure which prisons this gentleman
is talking about, but no one has escaped from a U.S. prison either; no
terrorist has escaped.
I believe we have the right to close; is that correct?
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Washington has the right to
close.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Then I have just one further speaker, and I
reserve the balance of my time.
Mrs. WALORSKI. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from
Missouri (Mrs. Hartzler), the chairwoman of our Oversight and
Investigations Subcommittee.
Mrs. HARTZLER. Mr. Chairman, I rise in support of this very important
amendment.
We live in a dangerous world. Whether it is ongoing conflict in
Yemen, the march of ISIL, the slaughter of Christians by Boko Haram,
the murder of innocents by al Shabaab, or the continued desire of al
Qaeda to attack Americans, the rise of Islamic extremism is real; and
we need a safe, effective place to detain these combatants.
GTMO is an appropriate facility to house this unique mission. Now is
not the time to transfer these detainees or close its doors.

{time} 1730

I had the opportunity to visit Guantanamo Bay and see the operations
there firsthand, and I can confirm that GTMO is currently the safest
and most appropriate location to hold detainees who were engaged in
dangerous acts threatening the U.S. and our allies.
We need to continue to protect American citizens from some of the
world's most dangerous individuals. We need to pass this amendment.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. I continue to reserve the balance of my
time.
Mrs. WALORSKI. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from
California (Mr. Royce), the distinguished chairman of the Foreign
Affairs Committee.
Mr. ROYCE. Mr. Chair, I rise in support of this amendment.
I have already expressed my deep concern for the rushed, almost
frenzied manner in which the administration is emptying the detention
center at Guantanamo Bay.
We saw the dangerous Taliban Five transfer.
Just this past December, the administration released six Guantanamo
Bay detainees to the small South American country of Uruguay. These six
detainees had been trained in munitions and document forgery. In quiet
negotiations with Uruguay to take the six, the Obama administration
offered the President of Uruguay written assurances that none of them
had ever been involved in conducting or facilitating terrorist
activities, throwing out with a stroke of a pen the intelligence and
analysis that had led to their detention.
These six former terrorists and Guantanamo Bay detainees live only
six blocks away from the U.S. Embassy, which has forced the Embassy to
heighten its security posture. The Obama administration has effectively
prioritized its political goal of closing Guantanamo over our national
security interests. The administration's desperation to empty
Guantanamo has caused six hardened terrorists to land dangerously close
to an embassy in our hemisphere.
Mrs. WALORSKI. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from
Montana (Mr. Zinke).
Mr. ZINKE. Mr. Chairman, I rise today in support of this amendment
because a catch-and-release program is not how to defeat and destroy
Islamic terrorist organizations.
I served 23 years as a Navy SEAL. Most of the last decade of my
career was spent hunting, killing, or capturing dangerous terrorists
who had American blood on their hands.
As the acting and deputy commander for the Combined Joint Special
Operations Task Force, I had the honor of leading special operations
troops in hunting these dangerous assailants and bringing them to
justice. Releasing terrorists from Guantanamo Bay who are committed to
killing American citizens not only is a national security risk, but it
is also a slap in the face to every American, every man, every woman
who died in the battlefield to put them there.
The President insists these terrorists are reformed; however, the
facts say differently. According to the Director of National
Intelligence, nearly 30 percent of former GTMO detainees are confirmed
or suspected of engaging in terrorist activities. The majority remain
at large.
A catch-and-release program may work for trout in Montana, but it
doesn't work for terrorists.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield such time as he may
consume to the gentleman from New York (Mr. Nadler).
Mr. NADLER. Mr. Chairman, it is truly astonishing that in 2015 the
United States continues to hold people indefinitely who have not been
charged, let alone convicted, of any crime, who have been judged not to
pose any threat to the United States. Our continuing to hold prisoners
indefinitely without charging them, without trial, is a rebuke to our
professed support of liberty.
Now, I know some will say they are dangerous terrorists, and some
are. But some of them are not. They are people who were captured in
some way, who have been judged by our military not to pose a threat to
the United States, who have not been charged or judged as terrorists.
Some of them may be simply victims to the fact that we paid bounties to
people in Afghanistan to turn in people who they said were terrorists.
The Hatfields turned in the McCoys because--why not?--we were giving
them a bounty of a few thousand dollars.
We have, for those who need it, supermax prisons in the United
States, from which no one has ever escaped. There is no reason to spend
all the money in Guantanamo and have this continuing shame on the
reputation of the United States.
I oppose this amendment.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. I yield back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentlewoman from Indiana (Mrs. Walorski).
The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes
appeared to have it.
Mrs. WALORSKI. Mr. Chairman, I demand a recorded vote.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further
proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from Indiana
will be postponed.

The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 260, the gentleman
from Washington (Mr. Smith) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Washington.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself 2\1/2\ minutes.
Mr. Chairman, this amendment would take out of the bill all of the
things that are in it that make it impossible to close Guantanamo Bay
prison.
This is a debate we have had many times. The provisions are typically
banning any transfers to the U.S., banning any construction in the U.S.
of any facilities to house the folks being housed right now at
Guantanamo. It strips out those two, and it also asks the President to
give us a detailed plan on how he would go about closing Guantanamo and
what he would do with the inmates that are there now, and it requires a
90-day notice period to Congress before any action could be taken on
that. And it is basically the same argument that I just made as to why
we should close Guantanamo.
It was opened in the first place as a way to try to get around the
U.S. Constitution. Basically, the thought was, since it wasn't in the
continental U.S., habeas corpus and other constitutional protections
wouldn't apply. But the Supreme Court a number of years ago said that
it is effectively under U.S. control, so all the same rules apply.
One argument that is frequently trotted out is that somehow, if they
were brought to the U.S., they would suddenly have constitutional
rights that they don't have in Guantanamo. The Supreme Court has
already ruled on that. They have ruled that it is effectively under
U.S. control, and they have the exact same rights to habeas corpus and
all other rights that a criminal or a law of war prisoner would have.
So if we brought them to the U.S., it would not be a problem.
My two basic arguments are, number one, we have an alternative to
Guantanamo. It is not like there is no option. There are now, I
believe, 122 inmates--I forget the exact number--who have been cleared
for transfer back to another country. But it is somewhere roughly half
of that amount, we would be looking at between 50 and 60 inmates that
would need to be transferred to the U.S. And we have the facilities
here. As I said, we already house some of the most dangerous terrorists
we have ever arrested and convicted. We have the facilities. We have
the ability to hold them safely here. So there is an alternative.
The current situation in Guantanamo Bay has a number of negatives.
The high cost, as I have mentioned several times, almost $3 million an
inmate; and then the international eyesore that Guantanamo Bay is--not
just to the terrorists. I don't care about them. I don't care what they
say, how they feel about us holding people at Guantanamo. But to our
allies in Europe, to people in the Arab world who want to help us
defeat the scourge of Islamic extremism, this is an international
eyesore that we should close, and we should make the transfers as soon
as we possibly can. This amendment makes that possible.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I rise to oppose the amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Texas is recognized for 5
minutes.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the distinguished
gentleman from Montana (Mr. Zinke).
Mr. ZINKE. Mr. Chairman, I rise to express one retired Navy SEAL
commander's opposition to closing the military prison at GTMO.
I have no doubt that closing GTMO and releasing or transferring
terrorists who have committed to killing American citizens jeopardizes
both the safety and security of the United States and our citizens
abroad.
If the success or failure of the mission at GTMO is based on the
number of attacks against the United States after 9/11, I am confident
everyone in this room would join me in judging the mission has been
successful. Intelligence collection and national security have been
strengthened as a result of GTMO, and America remains a safer place
thanks to the men and women serving there.
Keeping dangerous terrorists in a military prison and away from
American families is the way it should be

[[Page H3168]]

done. To me, closing GTMO is simply not an option.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I am happy to yield 1 minute to the
distinguished gentlewoman from Indiana (Mrs. Walorski).
Mrs. WALORSKI. Mr. Chairman, I oppose this amendment.
Everything that has happened since last year's debate should force us
to be more careful with detainee decisions, not less careful. The rise
of ISIL, the alarming release of the Taliban Five, and the war in Yemen
are just a few events that remind us of the urgency of this debate, and
it is an urgent debate. Potentially most troubling is the growing
threat of AQAP, al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. Enabled by the
complete power vacuum in Yemen, AQAP was formed by GTMO detainees, the
group arguably most capable and most committed to attacking the United
States homeland.

Mr. Chairman, I believe we need a commonsense detainee policy that
protects Americans. I urge my colleagues to vote ``no'' and oppose this
amendment.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I have only one more speaker,
so I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I am happy to yield 1 minute to the
distinguished gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Coffman).
Mr. COFFMAN. Mr. Chairman, I rise to oppose this amendment.
In March of 2014, the Director of National Intelligence reported that
29 percent of detainees released from Guantanamo Bay have engaged in or
were suspected of resuming their roles as terrorists. Those who remain
in Guantanamo are the ``worst of the worst.'' So it is safe to presume
that, if released, an even higher percentage of them will remain a
threat to our national security.
I struggle to understand why we would close the Guantanamo Bay
detention camp, only to finance the incarceration of enemy combatants
within the United States.
The need for a place to detain enemy combatants unfortunately will
not go away anytime soon, so, unquestionably, we need a facility like
Guantanamo. As we engage an enemy with no respect for borders, we must
not move them to our maximum security prisons while the courts
determine how we should legally proceed.
For our Nation's security, I implore you to vote ``no'' on this
amendment.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman
from Missouri (Mrs. Hartzler), the chair of the Oversight and
Investigations Subcommittee.
Mrs. HARTZLER. Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to this amendment.
Why? There are many reasons. But the predominant reason is because it
allows the following people to come to America's shore or possibly be
released. Here are a few people who are in Guantanamo Bay that the
sponsor of this amendment wants to bring here:
Sixteen detainees associated with Osama bin Laden or other top al
Qaeda leaders; eight detainees who have received explosives training;
four detainees closely associated with al Qaeda recruiters; two
detainees knowledgeable about poisons; others involved in a plot
against a U.S. Embassy; volunteered to be a suicide bomber; commander
of an al Qaeda training camp; agreed to commit to jihad if let out; and
a terrorist financier. Also, KSM, the architect of the 9/11 attacks,
KSM's third in command; another senior al Qaeda operative who trained
and selected the 9/11 hijackers; the mastermind of the USS Cole attack;
on and on.
The idea of bringing these individuals to America is foolish, and it
makes no sense. We already have a secure facility that is working, is
constitutional, and is keeping Americans safe. We need to keep GTMO
open.
I oppose this amendment.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself 15 seconds to
say that the only flaw in that statement is the part about them being
released in the U.S. That is not going to happen. And yes, if that were
the plan, I would be absolutely opposed to it; but again, there are
over 300 very dangerous terrorists held in the U.S. right now, today.
We have proven we can do it here. We are not going to bring them here
and release them. That is not what I am arguing for.
With that, I yield such time as he may consume to the gentleman from
New York (Mr. Nadler).
Mr. NADLER. I thank the chairman for yielding.
Mr. Chairman, I listen to this debate, and it sounds as if we have
forgotten everything we ever learned about American justice and
American liberty.
We are told that 29 percent of the people released from Guantanamo
have returned to terror. Well, that simply says that the Bush
administration did a lousy job in deciding who should be released
because, since then, it has been a tiny percentage. Yes, a large
percentage of those the Bush administration released became
recidivists.

{time} 1745

So the argument is everyone held in Guantanamo should be held there
forever. That is the argument. The amendment we just considered a
moment ago would make it even harder, make it impossible, to release
anyone from Guantanamo. The opposition to this amendment is for the
same purpose.
We are told that these are the worst of the worst. Who says? Some of
them have never been charged with any crime, have never been charged
with any terrorism, have been judged safe to release, and have been
told, have been labeled by our military as not being terrorists, not
being threats to the United States, and yet we continue to hold them
indefinitely. Why? And by what right?
KSM is a great menace; indeed, he is. He should be brought to the
United States and placed on trial in a Federal court. He has been
waiting for trial for almost 14 years now because we can't get our
military tribunals to work, put him on trial in an article III Federal
court, and sentence him to life imprisonment without parole, as others
have been. Nobody escapes from our supermax prisons, but justice ought
to be done. It ought to be meted out.
We are told that people will be released here. We are not demanding
that everyone be released or even that anyone in particular be
released, certainly not into the United States. We are saying that the
normal processes of justice should go forward. We are saying that the
fact that someone lived in Afghanistan and that some other tribe had a
grudge against his family and turned him in for a bounty, even though
he had nothing to do with terrorism or anything else, we ought to know
that. And when we know that, that person ought to be releasable because
we know that about some people.
Instead, what we are faced with is a statute that says nobody ought
to ever be released; we ought to hold people indefinitely for life for
no crime and no reason. That is against American justice, and it poses
a threat that the President under the authority of the 2012 law can
hold Americans in Guantanamo indefinitely, and we should close it to
prevent that, too.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my
time.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself the balance of my time.
Mr. Chairman, I don't think anybody says we have to leave Guantanamo
open forever or necessarily keep these folks, the detainees, there
forever. Under the laws of war, detainees may be kept for the duration
of the war. And it is absolutely true, we don't know how long this war
is going to go. It is also true that if the President came up with a
plan that could get the confidence of the American people first about
what he would do with the Guantanamo detainees, then there may be
something to talk about.
But, unfortunately, this amendment would strike the provisions of the
bill which prevent them from coming to the U.S., would prevent them
from being released to war zones, would prevent construction of new
facilities. And make no mistake, new facilities would have to be built
because they couldn't be commingled with inmates who are here in the
U.S. And it strikes the facility for foreign transfers, but it does
that first, and then says, oh, by the way, Mr. President, give us a
plan within so much time.
How about we get a plan first? And how about we see whether that plan
stands up to the light of day?
At one point, the President had a plan to take these folks to New
York City and have a trial there, but there was an uproar. There was a
plan to

[[Page H3169]]

take them to a rehabilitative facility in Illinois, but there was an
uproar. None of that has gained the support of this Congress under
either party, and therefore, I think this amendment should be defeated.
I yield back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentleman from Washington (Mr. Smith).
The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the noes
appeared to have it.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I demand a recorded vote.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further
proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Washington
will be postponed.

Amendment No. 17 Offered by Mr. McCaul

The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 17
printed in House Report 114-112.
Mr. McCAUL. Mr. Chairman, I have an amendment at the desk.
The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:

At the end of subtitle E of title X, add the following:

The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 260, the gentleman
from Texas (Mr. McCaul) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Texas.
Mr. McCAUL. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself 3 minutes.
First, I would like to express my thanks to Chairman Thornberry for
his leadership and hard work on this important legislation.
This amendment deals with border security. It is an integral part of
our national security, and as we draw down our military presence in
Afghanistan, equipment used successfully in combat can be used to
enhance border security at home and, in the process, save taxpayer
dollars.
Today, five aerostats used to protect forward operating bases in Iraq
and Afghanistan are now providing situational awareness in the Rio
Grande Valley of Texas. Their use has helped agents apprehend dangerous
aliens and interdict drugs that are en route to our neighborhoods.
My amendment makes sure DHS can continue to acquire advanced DOD
excess equipment by modifying current law, last updated in 1996, before
the creation of the Department of Homeland Security, to provide
preference for ``border security activities.''
This change puts border security and the Department of Homeland
Security on equal footing with the Department of Justice and the Office
of National Drug Control Policy. With this small change, DHS' border
security components can readily tap into DOD's excess equipment on a
preferential basis.
In the past, United States Customs and Border Protection has missed
out on thousands of articles of DOD excess gear because the equipment
is often distributed on a first-come first-served basis. With the
higher priorities, CBP will have a better opportunity to evaluate the
cost effectiveness of a system before acquiring it. My amendment simply
brings the law up to date and gives DHS the ability to apply military
technology for the border security mission.
Before I close, Mr. Chairman, I would like to address what this
amendment does not do. It does not supply local police forces with
equipment recently used in a war zone. It does not militarize our local
law enforcement officials. In fact, if that is a concern, you should
support my amendment, which will put more military excess in the hands
of DHS.
Finally, Mr. Chairman, it is important to note to my friends on the
other side of the aisle that the administration actually supports the
idea posed behind this amendment. The arguments in opposition, I
believe, do not withstand scrutiny, and with that, Mr. Chairman, I
reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. O'ROURKE. Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to the amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Texas is recognized for 5
minutes.
Mr. O'ROURKE. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself 2 minutes.
Mr. Chairman, I have great respect for my colleague from Texas for
his leadership and service as the chair of the Homeland Security
Committee and had the pleasure of serving with him on that committee in
the last Congress. But I rise to oppose this amendment today because it
is unnecessary.
First of all, it is redundant. The Department of Defense already has
the authority and ability to distribute excess military equipment to
the Department of Homeland Security and the Border Patrol.
Secondly, it is not needed on the border right now. I will give you
some examples. The city that I have the honor of representing, El Paso,
Texas, the largest city on the U.S.-Mexico border in Texas, is the
safest city today in the United States, and it was also the safest city
in the United States at the time when Ciudad Juarez across the river
was the most dangerous city in the world.
Today, we have record low apprehensions on our southern border. We
are spending record amounts--$18 billion a year--to secure it. We have
doubled the size of the Border Patrol from 10,000 to 20,000 in the last
10 years, and we have hundreds of miles of walls.
We have also heard from the Secretary of the Department of Homeland
Security, the Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, and the
Director of the FBI that there is not now, nor has there ever been, a
credible terrorist threat on our southern border. So we do not need
mine-resistant ambush-protected vehicles. We do not need grenade
launchers. We do not need armed drones.
Mr. Chairman, we do not need to militarize the border, and I reserve
the balance of my time.
Mr. McCAUL. Mr. Chairman, with all due respect to my colleague,
Customs and Border Protection have asked for this authority. They have
a very different point of view, I would say, than you do, sir, from
where you stand.
Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Florida (Mr.
Nugent).
Mr. NUGENT. I thank Mr. McCaul for yielding me 1 minute.
Mr. Chairman, I understand the opposition to this amendment is based
on a misconception that it expands eligibility for surplus military
equipment to include border security. Customs and Border Protection is
already authorized to receive this equipment. It would just elevate
their priority to where Justice Department is in allowing them to
receive the equipment that they need.
I was a sheriff in a 1033 program that provided equipment as it would
exactly to Customs and Border Protection. It does not--it does not--
provide armed drones. Everything that they receive is demilitarized in
regard to the fact they aren't receiving tanks, no military equipment
that fires a rocket, or given rockets. That is a misconception that
others have tried to move forward.
Mr. Chairman, border security activities are the front lines of
counternarcotics and counterterrorism before those threats hit American
airspace, American waters, and American soil, and I support this
amendment.
Mr. O'ROURKE. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman
from Georgia (Mr. Johnson).
Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to this
amendment.
It is deja vu all over again. Once again, the Congress is confronted
with a Republican effort to militarize our borders by funneling
billions of dollars of military equipment to local law enforcement
anywhere in the country for border security activities. The 1033
program transfers billions of dollars of military equipment to law
enforcement agencies without any congressional oversight or community
input.
This amendment adds a border security activities priority to the
program

[[Page H3170]]

that will quietly funnel military-grade weaponry to law enforcement for
this poorly defined priority. Passage of this amendment means that any
law enforcement agency anywhere in the country can get an MRAP or an M-
16 straight from the battlefield in Iraq if they simply tell the DOD
they need it for border security activities, regardless of whether the
agency is 10 miles or thousands of miles from the border with Mexico or
Canada.
Mr. Chairman, this amendment also means that campus police at local
school districts and colleges can get the same MRAP or M-16 straight
from the battlefield in Iraq if they tell the DOD they need it for
border security activities.
Last year, Republicans tried to include this language in the fiscal
year '15 NDAA. Congress wisely chose to reject it. Earlier this year,
Republicans tried to pass this language by burying it in their failed
border security bill, but, fortunately, the Congress wisely chose to
reject the idea once again. But here we are once again confronted with
this absurd reality and this effort to give local police this
equipment.
Mr. McCAUL. Mr. Chairman, I yield the remainder of my time to the
gentlewoman from Arizona (Ms. McSally).
Ms. McSALLY. Mr. Chairman, I rise in support of this amendment. It is
a commonsense amendment that passed the House last year with bipartisan
support because it simply provides the Department of Homeland Security
with increased resources, and it saves the taxpayers money. This
amendment makes a small change to current law.
Mr. Chairman, regarding the excess property owned by the Department
of Defense, DHS and U.S. Customs and Border Protection have benefited
greatly from DOD equipment in years past. For instance, Vehicle and
Dismount Exploitation Radar, or VADER, is providing better situational
awareness on my border in Tucson, the Tucson sector, and allows Border
Patrol to be smart about deploying their resources.
The technology used by the DOD in Afghanistan was transferred to CBP.
When deployed, VADER will allow operators to track ground movement with
great detail and make this information available to ground commanders
in real time, often in tough terrain, allowing them to be more
efficient with their resources. The sensors are capable of detecting
even subtle human movement along the ground and increase their aerial
surveillance, enforcement, and security to prevent potential threats
from transnational criminal organizations illegally entering the United
States. These organizations are trafficking drugs, money, people, and
weapons through the border and into our communities.
Mr. Chairman, since 2012 VADER has detected over 33,000 people moving
across the southwest border. Since 2006 this versatile platform has
been credited with interdicting and disrupting over 6 tons of cocaine
and 250,000 pounds of marijuana. CBP has also benefited from aerostats
and helicopters which allowed CBP to have greater visibility of this
illicit activity on the border.
Again, Mr. Chairman, this is a short amendment. It is one page. It
just allows them to work together. It is not about militarizing our
border. It is about being a good steward of our taxpayer resources so
we can keep our borders secure.
Mr. McCAUL. I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. O'ROURKE. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman
from Texas (Mr. Castro).

{time} 1800

Mr. CASTRO of Texas. Mr. Chairman, when it comes to the border, for
many in politics, there is no greater boogeyman. The fact is that the
border has more resources committed to it today than ever before,
21,000 Border Patrol agents, more than double what we had in 2004.
We should not militarize the U.S. border with Mexico or with Canada.
This amendment would not only allow resources to go south and affect
States like Texas and communities in Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, and
California, but would also allow these military objects to go into New
York and Washington State along our northern border.
There is also no indication that the Department of Homeland Security
has asked for these resources or indicated that they are either short-
staffed or undermanned when it comes to the resources that they need to
deal with the border situation.
Painting our border as a war zone does a disservice to the men and
women who live along our U.S.-Mexico border and also the border with
Canada.
I think that, just as the 1033 program has had some troubling issues
with respect to our local law enforcement, it is a bad idea to extend
this program to DHS.
Mr. O'ROURKE. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may
consume.
Everything that the proponents of this amendment have highlighted,
the Border Patrol and the Department of Homeland Security already have
access to and already received from the Department of Defense. As I
said earlier, this amendment is redundant because that authority and
that ability already exists.
What it does do is create further anxiety and fear about the border
at a time that is not warranted because of the record levels that we
are spending on homeland security and the record levels of security
that we have, the record low apprehensions that we see, and the
relevant safety of the U.S. side of the U.S.-Mexico border relative to
the rest of the country.
I yield back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentleman from Texas (Mr. McCaul).
The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes
appeared to have it.
Mr. O'ROURKE. Mr. Chairman, I demand a recorded vote.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further
proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Texas will
be postponed.

Amendment No. 21 Offered by Mr. Hunter

The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 21

Control Act, or any other provision of law, to be a
government that has repeatedly provided support for acts of
international terrorism; and
(B) includes North Korea.

The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 260, the gentleman
from California (Mr. Hunter) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from California.
Mr. HUNTER. Mr. Chairman, we have a problem right now, and the
problem is this: you have radical Islamic terrorists in places where
there is no U.S. law enforcement presence capturing and detaining and
holding hostage American citizens, not American military personnel, but
American citizens.
In the past, the problem has not been as exacerbated as it has been
since 9/11. You have the FBI. The FBI has always had purview and has
had jurisdiction over hostage cases, but the problem is in Iraq, there
is no FBI; in Syria, there is no FBI; in Afghanistan, there is no FBI.
In war zones, you don't have the FBI.
What you have is the Department of Defense and different intelligence
agencies are ones that track the networks, know the networks, know who
the bad guys are, know where the hostages may be, and then in case that
we actually get good intelligence, the Department of Defense and our
intelligence communities, those are the people that would act on the
intelligence, not the FBI.
If there is a hostage situation here at the Capitol, the FBI would
take care of it; if there is a hostage situation in San Diego or New
York, the FBI would take care of it--again, not if it is ISIS, not if
it is al Qaeda, and not if it is in Somalia, Yemen, Iraq, Syria, or
other war zone type country.
What my amendment does is make sure that there is now a joint
interagency coordinator under the President who works directly with the
President and anybody else that they need to.
We have, to date, five people--five American citizens--that have been
killed by radical Islamic terrorists. We haven't freed one of them. Not
a single American citizen has made it home alive, except for the trade
that we did with the five terrorists from GTMO for Private Bergdahl.
That is the only one. The rest have died.
Sixty days after this bill passes both the House and the Senate, the
President is required to appoint an existing Federal officer to
coordinate rescue efforts for Americans held by hostile groups such as
ISIS or al Qaeda.
It also allows for Congress to be informed. If you have a member from
your district who is one of these hostages, you get quarterly reports
from the FBI from this fusion cell on what is happening with your
hostage.
It also requires reporting to the different committees in Congress
that have oversight over this what is going on with the hostages
because, right now, people don't really know. Those of us here in this
room, we don't really know, unless we reach out and contact them and
ask for a special meeting. It shouldn't be the case.
There is one thing I can guarantee this body: over the next 25 years,
radical Islam is not going away. You are going to have more Americans
taken hostage. We need to make sure that we at least have somebody
where the buck stops, and this creates a person where the buck stops,
finally, who can answer our questions from this body and can answer
questions from the families and everybody else.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. O'ROURKE. Mr. Chairman, I claim the time in opposition, although
I am not opposed to the amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, the gentleman from Texas is
recognized for 5 minutes.
There was no objection.
Mr. O'ROURKE. Mr. Chairman, I yield such time as he may consume to
Mr. Delaney from Maryland.
Mr. DELANEY. Mr. Chairman, I want to start by thanking the chairman
and the ranking member for supporting this amendment, and I want to
thank my colleague from California for giving me the opportunity to
work with him on this amendment.
Mr. Chairman, the reason I care about the subject matter of this
amendment is because one of my constituents, Warren Weinstein, was
recently killed by a U.S. drone strike while he was being held in an al
Qaeda compound along the border in Pakistan. Obviously, we weren't
aware that he was held there.
Warren was originally captured over 3 years ago while he was doing
work in Pakistan on behalf of USAID. He was 73 years old. He spent his
whole life in service to his country working for USAID on foreign aid
matters. He was a wonderful man and has a wonderful family.
Across the last several years, I worked very closely with his wife
and his family in helping them try to influence our government to find
Warren. The one thing I realized across the last several years working
on these matters is that, even though we have incredibly dedicated men
and women who work at the FBI, who work at the CIA, who work at the
State Department, who work on hostage recovery matters, as my colleague
from California has pointed out, these efforts are not nearly as well
coordinated as they should be.
We do not have someone on point who wakes up every day with the
mission of finding American hostages that are held in the Middle East.
This amendment does this. By appointing and creating a hostage
recovery coordinator, we will have that single person on point who will
be able to take all of the resources of the U.S. Government--our
technological resources, our intelligence resources, our military
resources, and the resources of this Congress--and do a better job in
identifying Americans that are held hostage overseas by terrorists.
It is an incredibly important thing to do. Again, I saw firsthand in
my experience working with Warren's family and working with very
dedicated people in our government that the bureaucracy is getting in
the way. The people are dedicated, but they don't have the ability to
cut through the bureaucracy and grab whatever resources exist in the
government.
What this bill does is empower a person, an individual, who can do
that, who can grab whatever assets are needed in the U.S. Government to
help find hostages who are held overseas, which is why I support the
amendment.
As my colleague from California pointed out, they will also do a very
important function, which is to communicate and coordinate with the
families, the families who are suffering like Warren's family has for
over 3 years with the uncertainty and a lack of information about where
he is.
I strongly support the amendment, and I urge my colleagues to do the
same.
Again, I want to thank my colleague from California for his
leadership in this area and for giving me an opportunity to work with
him on behalf of my constituent, Warren.
I want to thank, again, the ranking member and chairman for
supporting this amendment.
Mr. HUNTER. Mr. Chairman, may I inquire how much time I have
remaining?
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from California has 2 minutes
remaining.
Mr. HUNTER. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I would like to thank the gentleman from Maryland, too, for his work
on

[[Page H3172]]

this. He shouldn't have to and Warren's family shouldn't have to go
through what they go through. Hopefully, this makes it better.
I would like to thank the ranking member and Chairman Thornberry for
supporting this as well.
Lastly, to get something like this done, it takes people within the
Department of Defense, within the system, who actually know what needs
to get done. Lieutenant Colonel Jason Amerine has worked in my office
now for about 2 years on this amendment, and he is someone who really
cares.
He has been working hostage stuff with about every government agency
that there is. I just want to say he played a big role in getting this
to where it is at now.
I would urge my colleagues to support this amendment.
I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. O'ROURKE. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentleman from California (Mr. Hunter).
The amendment was agreed to.

The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 260, the gentleman
from Texas (Mr. Thornberry) and the gentleman from Washington (Mr.
Smith) each will control 10 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Texas.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself 30 seconds.
Mr. Chairman, in this en bloc package, which I encourage all Members
on both sides of the aisle to adopt, there are 14 total amendments. Six
of those amendments are from my Democratic colleagues; eight are from
my Republican colleagues.
There are a lot of important subjects that are in these amendments,
as Members on both sides of the aisle make contributions to the bill,
and I hope that Members on both sides of the

[[Page H3175]]

aisle, when it comes to final passage--if this en bloc package is
adopted--that when it comes to final passage of the bill, they will
support final passage of the bill so that their work can come to
fruition.
That is what it takes, Mr. Chairman. It is support on final passage.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I claim the time in
opposition, though I am not opposed to it.
The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, the gentleman is recognized for
10 minutes.
There was no objection.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself 3 minutes.
The chairman of the committee, on a couple of occasions, has made
reference to the fact that, if you have things in the bill, it doesn't
make any sense to vote against it because then you are basically
nullifying your own work.
Then there was a statement earlier about how never before has a party
asked for a ``no'' vote on this National Defense Authorization Act. He
is actually wrong about that.
In 2009 and in 2010, the Republican Party asked for a ``no'' vote on
the National Defense Authorization Act. In fact, 160 Republicans in one
year voted ``no''--that was virtually all of them--and 131 voted ``no''
in another year.
To now argue that, A, you shouldn't oppose the NDAA because it
supports our troops after having opposed it in 2010 and in 2011 is
very, very inconsistent.
Now, they had their reasons. I think one of them was hate crimes was
included, and I think the other one was that repeal of Don't Ask, Don't
Tell was included. I would also venture to guess that, as a very senior
member of the Armed Services Committee at the time, Mr. Thornberry had
stuff in both of those bills. He can correct me if I am wrong about
that, but I would be stunned if he hadn't worked on those bills and had
amendments in them; yet he voted ``no'' on both occasions.
I hope for the rest of this debate we can at least dispense with that
argument, that notion that, number one, no party has ever asked to
oppose the defense bill when, in fact, the Republicans did it when they
didn't like the substance.
Let me say and be clear on that. I completely respect that. That is
the choice we, as legislators, have to make. You have to decide whether
or not, on balance, a bill is worth voting for or voting against; but
this notion that, somehow, you can never vote against the NDAA rings
unbelievably hollow from people who have voted against the NDAA.
This idea that, if you get something in the bill that you support, it
doesn't make any sense to vote against it, rings every little bit as
hollow when at least the Members who were here in 2009 and 2010 on the
Republican side of the aisle, virtually all of them did exactly that.

{time} 1815

This year, what we as Democrats are saying is there is something
about this bill that we don't like that regrettably--and I say this
with all sincerity--trumps the things about the bill that we do like.
The thing about the bill that we don't like is it uses the overseas
contingency operations fund to bust the budget caps.
One, as Secretary of Defense Ash Carter has made clear, that is a
terrible way to budget within the Pentagon, and he has said he opposes
it because of the restrictions that it places on them and because of
the difficulties that it places on the Department of Defense.
Two, it is disingenuous to claim that you are keeping the budget caps
and that the OCO money somehow doesn't count because it is, I guess,
free money; it is outside of the budget caps.
The Acting CHAIR. The time of the gentleman has expired.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. I yield myself an additional 30 seconds.
Lastly, if you simply let defense out of jail in this awkward way and
keep everything else under the budget caps, we will never get rid of
the budget caps.
That is the reason, and it is, I think, a pretty legitimate reason.
If the Republican budget holds, we will never be able to get rid of the
budget caps. That is why we are opposed to it. It is a legitimate
reason. You can disagree with it, but let's stop with this whole, ``Oh,
if you have an amendment in it, you can't oppose it, and you can't
oppose the NDAA because it supports our troops'' when the very people
who are making that argument and who had a reason did exactly that. You
can argue about whether or not the reason was justified, but,
certainly, it is not consistent to make the opposite argument now.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself 2 minutes.
I remember very well the instances that the gentleman from Washington
talked about.
In one case, it was the Senate that added hate crimes to the
conference report of the NDAA when it came back from the conference. It
is absolutely true that, when that happened--an issue completely
outside of the military--and went to conference, I and many others
voted against it because we thought that was a mistake. It is also true
that many of us on this side of the aisle voted against the bill the
next year, but that was because of what was in the bill. It was related
to the Don't Ask, Don't Tell issue and how that was being handled.
That is exactly what the gentleman talked about earlier, which was
where you balance what is in it and what is not and the good and the
bad, and we all do that all the time. Absolutely right.
What is different about this case is this bill is being held hostage
to fix something else. Mr. Chairman, I would like to fix ObamaCare, but
I am not going to vote against the NDAA until that happens. I would
like to have a simpler Tax Code, but I am not going to vote against the
NDAA until that happens. It is trying to use this and the good it does
for our troops to put political pressure on Congress to agree with the
President about changes in the Budget Control Act. It is different
here.
My point is really very practical. If people get amendments in the
bill and then they vote against the bill and the bill goes down, what
happens to those amendments? They are dead. I am not arguing it
morally; I am arguing it practically. That is what happens to any bill
that goes down. The content of the bill is defeated, and I just don't
think that makes much sense.
Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Texas (Mr.
McCaul), the chairman of the Committee on Homeland Security.
Mr. McCAUL. Mr. Chairman, last week, I led a congressional delegation
to the Middle East to investigate the flow of foreign fighters in and
out of Syria and Iraq. While in Baghdad, I met with senior U.S.
officials and leaders in the Iraqi Government, including the Prime
Minister of Iraq.
I am concerned, Mr. Chairman, that the lessons of the Maliki years in
Iraq are not being learned as Sunnis and Kurds in Iraq continue to be
on the sidelines. Sectarian divisions are being inflamed by the rise of
Shia militants in Sunni communities. That is the proxy arm of Iran. The
Kurds, meanwhile, are not getting access to the weapons they need from
the central government quickly enough to fight ISIS. We need to empower
the Peshmerga and the moderate Sunni tribes.
This act takes important steps to not only counter ISIS, but to hold
the Iraqi Government accountable to the major constituencies in the
country--Shias, Sunnis, and Kurds. Specifically, section 1223 of the
bill before us ties assistance to the Iraqi Government to progress in
key areas, such as the central government's addressing grievances of
ethnic and sectarian minorities; increasing political inclusiveness;
reducing support for ISIS; and ensuring that U.S.-supplied equipment
and weaponry is making it to the security forces in Iraq, who need it
the most to defeat ISIS.
The passage of this bill before us will go a long way in addressing
the ISIS threat to the region and to the homeland.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself 15 seconds just
to say that the OCO spending, which is the problem, is in the bill. We
are not just opposing this because of stuff that isn't in the bill. The
OCO workaround that busts the budget caps without busting the budget
caps is in the bill. It is a substantive part of it.
I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from California (Mr. Sherman).

[[Page H3176]]

Mr. SHERMAN. I thank the chairman and the ranking member for
including my amendment in this en bloc.
Section 3119 of the bill, as reported from the Armed Services
Committee, seeks to deal with a significant issue that has come to
light regarding some commercial nuclear transfers.
The potential for some U.S. reactor technology to be diverted by
recipient countries with naval programs is a serious concern that needs
to be addressed. Section 3119 begins that process. My amendment is
designed to improve it.
There has been discussion in the press and in a Senate Foreign
Relations Committee hearing on the renewal of the China 123 agreement
that China would divert U.S. nuclear technology to its naval program,
particularly with regard to the propulsion of naval vessels.
My amendment would streamline the process by which we would license
technology under a 123 agreement. It would also provide that Congress
should be notified whenever there is substantial evidence that the 123
agreement, a nuclear cooperation agreement, has been violated, as,
perhaps, when nuclear technology is diverted for military purposes,
including the propulsion of naval vessels.
Most importantly, we know that China has not yet taken the steps it
needs to take to prevent proliferation. My amendment adds a requirement
that, when we are going to license the transfer of nuclear technology
to Beijing, we can do that only if there is a certification that China
is taking the steps necessary to prevent proliferation to Iran and
other problem countries.
I look forward to our using our nuclear cooperation with China on
civilian matters to prod them into a nonproliferation policy that makes
sense for the safety of the world.
I thank the chairman and his staff for working closely with my staff
in crafting this amendment, and I thank the ranking member and chair
for including this in the en bloc.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I am happy to yield 1 minute to the
gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Lamborn), a member of the Armed Services
Committee and the vice chairman of the Subcommittee on Strategic
Forces.
Mr. LAMBORN. I thank the chairman of the Armed Services Committee for
his leadership on this bill.
Mr. Chairman, I rise in support of my amendment, amendment No. 26.
This amendment would add two important components to the underlying
language on Iran contained in the bill.
First, it highlights our concerns about the negative consequences of
the Russians' selling the S-300 antiaircraft system to Iran. This will
only encourage Iran's bad behavior.
Second, it adds language that makes it clear that no terrorism-
related sanctions should be lifted as part of a nuclear deal with Iran.
We should not turn a blind eye to Iran's continued sponsorship of
terrorism around the world.
In a later en bloc, I will have amendment No. 101, prohibiting
military exchanges with Iran. President Obama, unfortunately, treats
our adversaries, many times, better than our friends. That is wrong and
dangerous. My amendment will prevent the administration from forcing
our military to be too friendly with the Iranian regime.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the
gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. Jackson Lee).
Ms. JACKSON LEE. Let me thank the gentleman very much for yielding to
me, and let me thank the chairman of the full committee.
Mr. Chairman, I rise to support Jackson Lee amendment No. 64, and I
am very pleased to have the support of the ranking member and the
chairman. This amendment is supported by Mr. Butterfield, who is the
chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, along with Ms. Adams and Ms.
Barbara Lee.
It focuses on Historically Black Colleges--it is something that I
have offered on a number of occasions--and their ability to expand
their capacity in science, technology, engineering, and math. It
includes Hispanic-serving institutions, Native American colleges, and
the National Science Foundation Directorates. It focuses these entities
on building their capacities by collaborating with the Department of
Defense.
We know that the Department of Defense has a myriad of opportunities
for research and development, i.e., some of the research that has been
done on triple negative breast cancer, which is an amendment that I
offered in the last DOD. Certainly, it is well renowned that the
Internet had its early beginnings with the Department of Defense, and
many other powerful research finds and successes have come from that.
I would just say that this amendment is now included in the en bloc,
and I thank both the chairman and the ranking member as it now opens
the doors for these institutions of higher learning to collaborate with
their professors and their students academically to do research or to
collaborate where necessary and build capacity on science, technology,
engineering, and math.
I thank the gentleman for including my amendment. I believe it
enhances the educational opportunities of young people, and it moves
forward the R&D, which is so vital to this country, by expanding the
opportunities to unique institutions which serve a very special
population and which have educated these young people from the 1800s.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I am pleased to yield 1 minute to the
gentlewoman from Florida (Ms. Ros-Lehtinen), the distinguished former
chair of the Committee on Foreign Affairs.
Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. I thank the chairman for including my amendment en
bloc.
Mr. Chairman, the amendment is very simple. It authorizes the
Secretary of Defense to deploy assets, personnel, and resources to
SOUTHCOM and to the Joint Interagency Task Force South in order to take
on threats with sufficient intelligence, surveillance, and
reconnaissance capabilities.
Terror groups receive a large number of financial resources through
the illicit drug trade and in their cooperation with drug cartels in
our region, and we are dangerously ill-equipped to tackle these
threats. It is in our vital national security interests to bolster our
efforts to counter the nexus between drug traffickers and terror
groups. To do so, we need to give SOUTHCOM the resources it needs to
get the job done.
Not nearly enough attention is being paid to the Western Hemisphere,
and with our limited resources and intelligence capabilities, our
visibility and assessment of the threats in our hemisphere are
dangerously inadequate.
This lack of resources jeopardizes our national security as terrorist
organizations like Hezbollah and the Islamic State of Iraq and the
Levant are increasingly operating in our hemisphere; and we all know
that Iran, Russia, and China are expanding their influences here in
order to undermine our regional interests.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the
gentleman from California (Mr. Peters).
Mr. PETERS. I thank the gentleman for yielding.
Mr. Chairman, diversifying our military's fuel supply is a national
security imperative given the serious new threats we face as a country.
More than 3,000 men and women in uniform have been killed or wounded
since September 11, 2001, in attacks on our military's fuel convoys.
Delivering technologies to our troops that improve efficiency so that
they depend less on traditional sources of fuel is a lifesaving
strategy. We need a strong, smart, forward-looking military force that
provides our warfighters with the tools necessary to quickly and
decisively confront the dynamic new threats our country is facing. As
our military adapts in order to fight these new threats, we will need
to increase our technological superiority, and part of that will depend
on creating, developing, and delivering new kinds of energy to troops
in the field.
My amendment, which is included in this en bloc package--and I thank
the chairman and the ranking member for their work on that--asks the
Department of Defense to report on its plan to merge two offices at the
Pentagon that handle parts of the military's energy strategy and
sustainability efforts.
Congress and the American people need assurance that these Pentagon
offices have enough staff and resources to complete the missions asked
of them and that we are seeing the desired increase in efficiency.

{time} 1830

Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I yield 3 minutes to the distinguished
gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Murphy) for the purpose of a colloquy.
Mr. MURPHY of Pennsylvania. Mr. Chairman, I want to thank the
distinguished chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, Mr.
Thornberry, for yielding. I am also grateful to Ranking Member Smith
for the opportunity to discuss the issue of mental health treatment for
our military servicemembers.
I know we all care deeply about the health of our servicemembers. For
those who have borne the battle, we share a commitment to come to their
aid, whether their wounds are a visible amputation or the invisible
problems of post-traumatic stress disorder.
The statistics, as you know, are sobering: 22 vets die by suicide
each day, and more than 600,000 vets are diagnosed with post-traumatic
stress disorder. Delivering proper treatment for mental health is
really a matter of life and death. We can provide these warriors with
treatment and medications they need, or we can continue to provide
their families with folded flags and our condolences to their widows.
But it is not enough to just provide a few limited medications,
because people react differently to medication. Some medications can
work well with one person or result in adverse side effects to another
with the same diagnosis. Side effects may include drug-to-drug
interactions, allergic reactions, excessive sedation, and weight gain,
with increased risk of diabetes. That is why doctors must be able to
choose the medication that fits for the soldier. But when DOD or the VA
limits the choices, that puts soldiers at risk. The servicemember may
stop taking the medication, withdraw from treatment, and may
deteriorate. We should not add to their risk.
I would ask the chairman and the ranking member to work with me to
ensure that the full array of FDA-approved medications are accessible
for our soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines who need these
lifesaving drugs. They fought for our country overseas; they should not
have to fight the Department of Defense and the VA over here.
Chairman Thornberry, I seek a commitment that we do not allow
accountants to choose which medications are available for the
psychiatric conditions of our servicemen and -women. Let the physician
working with the servicemember or veteran make those decisions.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Will the gentleman yield?
Mr. MURPHY of Pennsylvania. I yield to the gentleman from Texas.
Mr. THORNBERRY. I thank the gentleman for yielding, for I have
tremendous respect for his opinion and for his service that bears
directly on these issues. I share the gentleman's commitment to do
everything we can to improve suicide rates, to have better care for
those who serve, and I absolutely commit to work with the gentleman to
get the best possible outcomes for those who serve. I know that is what
the gentleman works for in all his capacities, and it is what the
committee wants to work for, too.
Mr. MURPHY of Pennsylvania. I thank the gentleman.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my
time.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, hoping that all Members support the
bill on final passage, I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. DeFAZIO. Mr. Chair, I have serious concerns with the amendment
offered by the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Stivers).
This amendment authorizes the Department of Defense (DOD) and the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to create a new grant program,
the Asset Military Partnership Pilot Program, to fund air traffic
control towers and airport infrastructure at airports that support DOD
missions.
Although I recognize that both the FAA and DOD have a shared interest
in keeping our national airspace safe and secure, it is unclear how
this new program achieves these goals. To my knowledge, neither the FAA
nor DOD has requested that Congress authorize this new program.
Moreover, the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure is in the
midst of developing a bill to reauthorize the FAA and its programs.
Neither the gentleman from Ohio nor anyone else has put forward the
need for this program. Instead, it is added on the Floor as an
amendment with a possible 10 minutes of debate. In fact, the amendment
is likely to be adopted without any debate. That is not how we should
be legislating in this body.
Why are we doing this? All indications are that this amendment is
simply an attempt to fund specific airport projects at Rickenbacker
International Airport, a civil-military public airport near Columbus,
Ohio.
I do not object to the FAA offering grants to assist an airport in
improving infrastructure or repairing or replacing an air traffic
control tower. In fact, a process for this already exists. The Airport
Improvement Program (AIP) has a grant set-aside of approximately $15
million a year under the Military Airport Program (MAP) for the
conversion of military airfields to civil or joint-use airports. Over
the past 30 years, Rickenbacker Airport has received more than $62
million of AIP and MAP funds for airport-related projects.
Although Rickenbacker has long participated in the AIP and MAP
programs, this amendment creates a new program with the same objectives
as existing programs but its own pot of money. It authorizes grants of
up to $2.5 million for three airports, which must meet very specific
criteria. It requires the FAA and DOD to each contribute one-half of
the funds. The purpose appears simply to create an additional source of
funding for a particular airport.
As this bill moves to Conference with the other body, I am hopeful
that the Committees on Armed Services will take a hard look at whether
creating this new program is in the Nation's best interests and how it
relates to the existing AIP and MAP programs.
Mr. Chair, without a better explanation, I do not see why Congress
would create another airport program.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendments en bloc offered
by the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Thornberry).
The en bloc amendments were agreed to.

Announcement by the Acting Chair

The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, proceedings
will now resume on those amendments printed in House Report 114-112 on
