Announcement by the Acting Chair
The Acting CHAIR (during the vote). There is 1 minute remaining.
{time} 2139
So the amendment was rejected.
The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
The Acting CHAIR. There being no further amendments, under the rule
the Committee rises.
Accordingly, the Committee rose; and the Speaker pro tempore (Mr.
Hultgren) having assumed the chair, Mr. Collins of Georgia, Acting
Chair of the Committee of the Whole House on the state of the Union,
reported that that Committee, having had under consideration the bill
(H.R. 4909) to authorize appropriations for fiscal year 2017 for
military activities of the Department of Defense and for military
construction, to prescribe military personnel strengths for such fiscal
year, and for other purposes, and, pursuant to House Resolution 735, he
reported the bill, as amended by House Resolution 732, back to the
House with sundry further amendments adopted in the Committee of the
Whole.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under the rule, the previous question is
ordered.
Is a separate vote demanded on any further amendment reported from
the Committee of the Whole? If not, the Chair will put them en gros.
The amendments were agreed to.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the engrossment and third
reading of the bill.
The bill was ordered to be engrossed and read a third time, and was
read the third time.
Motion to Recommit
Mr. CLYBURN. Mr. Speaker, I have a motion to recommit at the desk.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is the gentleman opposed to the bill?
Mr. CLYBURN. I am opposed in its current form.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to
recommit.
The Clerk read as follows:
Mr. Clyburn moves to recommit the bill H.R. 4909 to the
Committee on Armed Services with instructions to report the
same back to the House forthwith, with the following
amendments:
In section 567 (relating to a prohibition on the
establishment, maintenance, or support of Senior Reserve
Officers' Training Corps units at educational institutions
that display the Confederate battle flag), strike subsection
(c) (which provides an exception to such prohibition).
Strike section 1094.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from
South Carolina is recognized for 5 minutes in support of his motion.
Mr. CLYBURN. Mr. Speaker, this is the final amendment to the bill,
which will not kill the bill or send it back to committee. If adopted,
the bill will immediately proceed to final passage, as amended.
This amendment would fight discrimination in the military, which
[[Page H2810]]
erodes obedience, unity, commitment, and esprit de corps. The Supreme
Court highlighted these four essential attributes in explaining the
military deference doctrine, under which this amendment is
constitutionally sound.
The first section of the amendment would prohibit senior ROTC
programs in any institution that displays the Confederate battle flag.
This objectionable banner, which has never been the official flag of
the Confederacy, is a symbol of hate, racial oppression, resistance to
the rule of law, and White supremacy.
Any doubt as to this flag's meaning was erased by the perpetrator of
last summer's horrific shootings at Emanuel AME Church. Regrettably,
the Confederate battle flag still flies at the Citadel, just 2 miles
away from Mother Emanuel. I happen to disagree with the Citadel's board
members' belief that they are barred from removing the flag until the
South Carolina State Legislature acts to revise or repeal the so-called
Heritage Act. But it is clear that this hateful symbol will not be
removed until pressure is brought to bear on those with the authority
to remove it.
{time} 2145
In recent days, Citadel alumni have reached out to me to express
their support for this effort. One of these alumni, Dr. Larry Ferguson,
was a member of The Citadel class of 1973, the first class with more
than one African American. Dr. Ferguson desegregated the band, but was
subsequently kicked out of the band for refusing to wave the
Confederate battle flag and play the song ``Dixie'' at sporting events.
I received another letter from a group of 17 alumni. They write that
the Confederate battle flag ``is representative of an ideology of hate
and privilege, and is an abuse of power that still persists in the life
of the school and in the State's halls of power and influence.
``The fact that, in 2016, the Confederate Naval Jack flag hangs in a
public place of worship, on the campus of a public college, and is
protected by an unjust law is clear evidence of this reality.''
These letters make abundantly clear how the glorification of such an
odious symbol at a military college undermines obedience, unity,
commitment, and esprit de corps in our future military officers.
I will include in the Record both letters, and I urge my colleagues
to heed the voice of these Citadel alumni so that no more cadets will
have to struggle in the shadow of this oppressive banner.
May 16, 2016.
Dear Congressman James Clyburn, I am writing to inform you
of my support of your efforts to limit ROTC funding to The
Citadel because of the displaying of the Confederate flag in
the Summerall Chapel.
I am Dr. Larry J Ferguson a 1973 African-American graduate
of The Citadel. When I entered The Citadel in the summer of
1969 our class was the fourth year of desegregation at The
Citadel. But the class of 1973 is the first class that had
more than one African-American in it. Nine of us entered The
Citadel in 1969 and six of us graduated in 1973. I was the
first African-American to desegregate The Citadel's
Regimental Band Company. In 1970 as a young 18 year old
sophomore I informed the administration that I would not play
the song ``Dixie'' or participate in the celebratory waving
of the Confederate flag at our sporting events. I was
subsequently removed from the band and the administration
threatened to take away my academic scholarship despite my
having good grades. Thanks to my parents and attorney Daniel
Martin, Sr. they successfully argued for me to keep my
scholarship. Thanks also to Maj Clarence Richardson U.S. Army
(Ret), I was able to transfer to C Co. where he was the
tactical officer. I had a bitter/sweet 4 years at The
Citadel. There were a few of my white class mates who went
against the grain and let me know that I could count on them
to be my friend. But the overwhelming tension always present
around me was that I was only tolerated at The Citadel
because of my race and because I stood up for racial justice.
One of the beginning ways to establish racial justice is to
repudiate all symbols of racial oppression. The majority of
African-Americans and many other people of various
ethnicities find the Confederate flag and the song ``Dixie''
offensive because the flag and the song have long been
associated with hate groups. These hate groups used the
Confederate flag and the song ``Dixie'' as symbols directly
connected to their culture of terrorism and hatred for
African-Americans and for anyone who supported racial
integration.
These Confederate symbols cannot de divorced from the hate
groups that created a system of racial oppression and bigotry
in these United States of America and as such they should
only remain in places of historical reference--not public
platforms of adulation. Let us teach our future generations
that bigotry and racism are vigorously opposed in our society
and that symbols that are directly connected to bigotry and
racism are not to be celebrated in any form or fashion.
As a lifetime member of The Citadel Alumni Association and
as a past member of The Citadel Board of Visitors I want to
thank you Congressman Clyburn for addressing this issue.
Recent history teaches us that 50 years ago it took external
pressure to make The Citadel desegregate its Corps of Cadets.
This legislation will exert appropriate pressure on state
authorities so that the Confederate flag will be removed from
Summerall Chapel thus allowing everyone who enters to be able
to worship in dignity and solemnity.
Yours Truly,
Larry J Ferguson,
DMD.

May 16, 2016.
Congressman Jim Clyburn,
Assistant Democratic Leader, 6th Congressional District of
South Carolina, Washington, DC.
Dear Congressman Clyburn: Since 1939, the Confederate Flag,
a historic emblem of racial intolerance flown by pro-slavery
rebels both before and after the Civil War, is still
currently being displayed in The Citadel's Summerall Chapel.
The flag's presence in the most hallowed place on the entire
campus, where cadets gather to worship, is an assault on the
sensibilities of those who understand The Citadel's history,
but do not share the values the flag has come to represent.
As black alumni of The Citadel, we acknowledge the school's
efforts to remove this divisive symbol from our house of
worship. We agree that a museum is a more appropriate place
for the flag. Its current location in the school's chapel
stands as an affront to those of us whose ancestors suffered
racial violence, hatred, and bigotry under the shadow of that
flag and its ideology.
As you know, the school's administration continues to
suggest that it is constrained from removing the flag as a
consequence of the Heritage Act. As we have stated in
previous correspondence to the school, the Heritage Act is an
unjust piece of legislation. We further contend that the
Citadel's decision to ``follow the law'' (the Heritage Act)
is a tactic to delay the flag's removal from the Chapel; it
is an attempt to redirect responsibility for this matter to
the South Carolina House of Representatives, whose Speaker,
James Lucas, vowed to deny a vote on the issue. As a
consequence, we hold both the school and the legislature
equally responsible for the fact that the Confederate Flag
still flies in the Chapel on campus. Also, it is not lost on
us that the school's decision to ``follow the law'' (Heritage
Act) in this moment is a bit disingenuous, particularly since
the school, as a public institution, for years defied anti-
discrimination laws related to the admission of Black people
and women to the school. The Citadel cannot in one moment of
history defy the law in order to preserve white and male
privilege, while now representing itself as an abider of the
law (the Heritage Act) while the flag still hangs in
Summerall Chapel.
From the beginning of our fight to have the flag removed,
we suspected that the school and the state would fail to
muster the political will and moral courage to have the flag
immediately removed from the chapel. For this reason, we are
grateful and in solidarity with you and your colleagues in
the U.S. House of Representatives as you introduce measures
to withhold federal funding for Reserve Officer's Training
Corps programs from all colleges and universities displaying
the Confederate flag.
In closing, our position reaches far beyond the issue of
the Confederate flag. We believe that the school's ability to
fulfill its obligation to develop principled leaders and to
model the virtues of duty, honor, and respect are undermined
by the continued veneration of a relic from a tragic chapter
of America's history. For many of us, the flag is more than a
symbol; it is representative of an ideology of hate,
privilege and an abuse of power that still persists in the
life of the school and in the state's halls of power and
influence. The fact that in 2016 the Confederate Naval Jack
Flag hangs in a public space of worship, on the campus of a
public college, and is protected by an unjust law is clear
evidence of this reality. While we continue to work
energetically to have the flag removed immediately from the
chapel premises, we remain in support of your efforts to
address this at the federal level of government.
Thank you for your leadership on this matter. As graduates
of the school and allies in this fight, we stand firmly in
solidarity with you.
Sincerely,
Hillery Douglas '82; Fr. W. Reginald Simmons '87; James
Stevens '89; Garrick Benson '89; Johnny Orr '89; Ken
Williams '89; Anthony Terrell '89 C. Gene Brown '89
Ronald Galvin '90; Oscar Douglas '90; Thomas Turnage
'90; Jon Thomas '90; Gus Olalere '90; Morris Robinson
'91; Lamont Melvin '91; Torrence Forney '93; Jamie
Jenkins '98.
Mr. CLYBURN. Make no mistake about it: a vote against this motion is
a vote to continue flying the Confederate battle flag and allow
discrimination at a military college.
[[Page H2811]]
I yield to the gentleman from New York (Mr. Sean Patrick Maloney), my
good friend.
Mr. SEAN PATRICK MALONEY of New York. I thank the gentleman for
yielding.
Mr. Speaker, I have never voted against the defense bill, and I never
thought I would.
My dad was a veteran who was nearly killed serving his country. He
taught me to respect those who serve and to speak plainly about right
and wrong. So let me speak plainly now.
This bill writes antigay bias into Federal law. It strips LGBT
Americans of basic workplace protections by reversing the President's
anti-discrimination orders, saying it is once again legal for your LGBT
neighbors and family members to be fired because of who they are. This
is wrong.
This is not about supporting our troops. It is not about fighting
ISIS. It is not about religious protections. We can do all that, and we
should. This is about bigotry, plain and simple.
But we can fix it by embracing the bipartisan effort, denied by the
Rules Committee, to remove this hateful language and keep everything
else.
Mr. Speaker, this is not some procedural vote to be waived away; this
is about whether we will reaffirm equal rights or rationalize
discrimination.
When my husband and I got married, after waiting 22 years, so many of
you expressed your support. Will you now look me in the eye and say
that it would be okay for me to lose my job over it?
Just today, a Member of this House, refusing to help strike this
antigay language, said to me: But you know where I am on your issues.
I said: No. This is where you are on my issues. Your vote is where
you are on my issues. And this is where your children and where history
will remember you are standing on our issues.
You have the opportunity here and now to strike this antigay language
and, in doing so, strike a blow for equality.
Mr. Speaker, we are told that we are to make America great again.
Well, you cannot make America great by making America hate.
Vote against discrimination. Vote for this motion to recommit.
Mr. CLYBURN. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to the motion to
recommit.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Texas is recognized for 5
minutes.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, I want to start by thanking the 63
members of the Armed Services Committee not only for all of their work
in putting this bill together, but for the seriousness with which they
take our duties under the Constitution to help provide for the common
defense.
Our members don't always agree, but we are able to work our way
through our differences most of the time and think about the larger
cause. You might say we sacrifice some of our individual differences or
preferences in order to support the men and women who sacrifice so much
for us.
I want to thank all the Members of the House. We have had a lot of
Members over the last 2 days who have come down to the floor and talked
about their amendments, and all of those amendments have helped make
this bill a better bill.
That is the way that, for 54 straight years, Congresses with
majorities of both parties and Presidents of both parties have signed
into law a defense authorization bill. Last year, it was a little iffy,
but that is the way it has happened.
I just want to suggest to our colleagues that it is especially
important we do that this year. There is a lot of uncertainty out
there. Some of that uncertainty is because of President Obama. Part of
that uncertainty is because of us. Part of the uncertainty is because
of the political campaign. Part of the uncertainty is because of the
turmoil in the world.
My suggestion to you is that, with all this uncertainty going on out
there, it is particularly important this year that we send a message to
friends and adversaries that the United States is willing to stand up
and defend ourselves. And it is even more important, I would suggest,
that we send a message to our troops that, whatever uncertainty is out
there, we are going to support them.
Mr. Speaker, to support our troops, we have to vote ``yes'' and pass
this bill.
Now, I realize that if one wants to oppose this bill, there are lots
of reasons to do that. The bill takes the same budget approach as
Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Harry Reid used in 2008, the last
time we had a change of administration.
The bill includes a provision that reaffirms the protections of the
1964 Civil Rights Act and the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act. I
really hope if anybody has a question about that, come read the
amendment. I have got it here. Please read this provision so you can
judge for yourself.
But before any Member votes ``no,'' I hope they ask themselves
whether they really want to send a message to our troops that, yes,
that Member would be supportive of the troops, if only; or, I would
really support the troops, but for; or, I would really support the
troops maybe when. I don't think that is the right way to go.
Let me just finish with a fact and a story. One fact is that today,
of the 271 strike aircraft across the Marine Corps, 46 are available
for flight operations. That is 46 out of 271 are available today.
But let me make it personal for just a second. Over the past week, I
have encountered two marines. On Sunday, I was privileged to attend the
commissioning of a young man who is just entering the Marine Corps. He
hopes to be a Marine aviator. He is full of promise and enthusiasm.
Earlier in the week, I learned that an experienced Marine aviator has
decided to leave the Marine Corps because he doesn't think the aircraft
he is flying are safe, and he has got two young kids at home.
Now, earlier in the debate, the ranking member said my philosophy in
this bill was to help the troops now and worry about other problems
later. Well, there is some truth in that. I want to help the troops
now. I worry about aviators who don't think their aircraft are safe
now.
I can't solve budget problems in the future. I don't know who is
going to be elected President. I don't know what problems the world is
going to face. I can do something now, and that is to vote for this
bill.
Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the previous question is
ordered on the motion to recommit.
There was no objection.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion to recommit.
The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that
the noes appeared to have it.
