{time} 1743
In the Committee of the Whole
Accordingly, the House resolved itself into the Committee of the
Whole House on the state of the Union for the consideration of the bill
(H.R. 5515) to authorize appropriations for fiscal year 2019 for
military activities of the Department of Defense and for military
construction, to prescribe military personnel strengths for such fiscal
year, and for other purposes, with Mr. Harper in the chair.
The Clerk read the title of the bill.
The CHAIR. Pursuant to the rule, the bill is considered read the
first time.
The gentleman from Texas (Mr. Thornberry) and the gentleman from
[[Page H4368]]
Washington (Mr. Smith) each will control 30 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Texas.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may
consume.
Mr. Chairman, I am pleased to bring to the House floor H.R. 5515, the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019. This measure
was reported favorably out of our committee by a vote of 60-1, and if
signed into law, this would be the 58th consecutive year in which a
National Defense Authorization Act was signed into law.
I want to begin by thanking the members of the House Armed Services
Committee, because each of them has contributed to the work product
that we bring before the House today. I particularly want to express my
appreciation to the ranking member, the gentleman from Washington (Mr.
Smith), for not only his cooperative approach to matters of national
security, but for all of the input, all of the good humor, all of the
partnership that he brings into making this truly a bipartisan bill
which we bring before the House today.
I also want to thank the staff of the committee on both sides of the
aisle for incredible hours, incredible work, not only in the last few
weeks, but throughout this process as we have conducted our hearings,
our briefings, and traveled, done all sorts of work that contributed to
this bill.
Mr. Chairman, I also want to especially thank the legislative
counsel. We have had hundreds of amendments considered in committee. We
have had hundreds of amendments which have been drafted for floor
consideration. That is a lot of work on a very few individuals who have
had to make sure it was in the appropriate legislative language. I
especially want to thank legislative counsel working with our staffs
for getting this measure ready for floor consideration.
Mr. Chairman, the best way to summarize this bill is that it takes
the next steps: the next steps to rebuilding our military, the next
steps to reforming the Pentagon, the next steps towards strengthening
our country's national security.
We are going to hear a lot more about the details in the moments and
days to come. I just want to emphasize that no one bill can do
everything that needs to be done on behalf of the men and women who
serve our Nation, especially in repairing their equipment, in repairing
their readiness, and in giving them the best equipment, support, and
training our Nation can provide. No one bill can do all those things,
but this bill takes important next steps building on what was done in
the 2018 bill.
Finally, Mr. Chairman, I just want to make this point: We live in a
volatile and dangerous world. Our country has a number of tools at its
disposal--diplomacy, economics and trade, soft power and influence, a
variety of tools--but, in my view, the most important tool is our
military strength. I believe our military strength enhances all of
those other tools so that, when our military is strong, our diplomacy
is more effective. When our military is strong, our economic tools and
sanctions are more effective. When our military is strong, our soft
power somehow becomes more persuasive.
Just to take one example, there is a lot in the news these days, even
today, about whether or not there will be some sort of a negotiated
agreement with North Korea. I don't know how that will come out. What I
do know is a strong military improves our negotiating position, and a
strong military helps make sure we can defend this country if
negotiations do not bear fruit.
What we are trying to advance in this bill, along with the
appropriations bill, which will come, is to put the United States in a
stronger position, hopefully, to get a negotiated result with Iran,
North Korea, a variety of other situations around the world, but, above
all, to defend this country and to defend our way of life, to defend
the American people by way of supporting the men and women who risk
their lives for us. That, bottom line, is what this bill tries to do.
It is what all of these thousands of pages and hundreds of amendments
are designed to do. With the bipartisan support of this House, I
believe it will be successful.
Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself 5 minutes.
Mr. Chairman, first of all, I want to start off by agreeing with the
chairman on the importance both of the bill, but also on the incredible
work that we do in a bipartisan manner.
I think the chairman has set the right tone for the committee. His
leadership makes all the difference in the world in terms of making
sure that we all understand that we are working together to produce a
product that is enormously important to the national security of this
country.
Not that we don't have our disagreements--we have many--but we do so
in a respectful way, always with the goal of what is the best policy
for our national defense. The chairman's leadership has set the tone
for that in a way that is helpful to all of us.
All 62 members of the committee also contribute, and, of course, the
staff. The staff has to look through all the amendments, all the
issues, and make sure that we are aware of them, and they do a fabulous
job. This is the one bill that we pass every year, and the work that
our staff does is always outstanding and always puts us Members in a
position to do the best we can on the bill.
So I appreciate the staff, I appreciate the bipartisan spirit in the
committee, and I look forward to having a 58th successful year in
producing a National Defense Authorization Act because, first and
foremost, it is incredibly important that we set national security
policy for this country.
As the chairman mentioned, we face an incredibly complex set of
threat environments. We need policy to figure out what the best
approach to that is. Most importantly, right now, after nearly 17 years
of war, we have really worked the men and women who serve us in the
armed services very, very hard, and there is a very real readiness
problem within our military, as we have underfunded that to fund the
short-term needs as presented by the conflicts that we have gotten
into.
I think the most important thing about this bill is it really begins
to pay that back. It begins to bring back up the readiness levels so
that the men and women who serve us are prepared for the fights that we
ask them to do. That, to me, is the most important point.
We can have a very robust debate about how large the military budget
should be, about what responsibilities we should take on, but wherever
we come out on that debate, when we decide this is what we expect the
military to do, it is incredibly important that we provide the funds
and training to make sure that they can do it.
Now, again, we can argue that they should do less, but in my mind, it
is completely unacceptable to say: Well, we have got so many
priorities, We don't know how to do it. We are going to ask you to do
all these things and then not have the men and women to get the
training that they need to be ready for that fight.
I believe this bill starts moving us in the right direction. It also
honors the agreement that we made just a few short months ago for both
FY '18 and, now, FY '19 in terms of what the defense and nondefense
numbers should be in the appropriations process. So I appreciate that.
There are several things; and as the chairman mentioned, in a bill of
this size, of this magnitude, $717 billion, it would be a miracle if
there were any one person who agreed with absolutely everything in the
bill. I am sure there is not. But the one thing that I would point out
that is most troubling to me is the endorsement of the nuclear posture
review that was just put forward by the administration.
I am very concerned, number one, that we are spending too much money
on our nuclear weapons arsenal going forward and what impact will that
have on those other needs that I mentioned just a minute ago. What
impact will that have on readiness? What impact will it have on our
ability to have the forces forward deployed enough to deter Russia, to
deter North Korea, to deal with China's rise in Asia? So I think we are
overemphasizing nuclear weapons, number one, in terms of the amount of
money that we are spending on them.
But equally as troubling, this bill authorizes low-yield nuclear
weapons for
[[Page H4369]]
the first time in a very long time. It even authorizes a low-yield
nuclear weapon for our submarines. I believe that that puts us down a
dangerous course. We need to do more to make sure that we are deterring
any possibility of nuclear war.
There is a huge risk as Russia rises back up, with what North Korea
is doing, now that we are not in the nuclear agreement with Iran, what
they might be doing, that we avoid miscalculation and stumble into a
nuclear war. Thinking that there is such a thing as a tactical nuclear
weapon, a weapon small enough that it doesn't really rise to the level
of the other nuclear weapons, I think, is a mistake.
And, yes, I know Russia is building them. So the question is: How do
we deter Russia? Well, I think we deter Russia in a very
straightforward way. We have over 4,000 nuclear warheads. We have more
than enough nuclear firepower to present a credible deterrent to what
they are doing.
We don't have to say: Well, if you use a small nuclear weapon, we
won't want to use a bigger one in response. We want to say that our
deterrence is: If you cross the red line of all red lines and use a
nuclear weapon, we will respond overwhelmingly. We want to make sure it
never happens.
So I think building low-yield tactical nuclear weapons is a mistake.
I also think it is incredibly important that we increase the dialogue
between our country and Russia and China and North Korea, nuclear armed
powers, to make sure that there is not a miscalculation and we don't
stumble into a nuclear war.
Overall, I think this is a good product. I look forward to the
amendment debate and look forward to supporting the bill.
Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from
South Carolina (Mr. Wilson), the chairman of the Subcommittee on
Readiness.
Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Chairman, I rise in strong support
of H.R. 5515, the National Defense Authorization Act of 2019. I
appreciate Chairman Mac Thornberry achieving a bipartisan success in
the committee with 60 ``yes'' votes and only 1 ``no'' vote.
This bill contains significant policy and funding initiatives to
provide the military resources necessary to restore lost readiness for
peace through strength. The bill authorizes additional funding for
equipment and weapons systems maintenance, spare parts, and training--
all sorely needed to begin to reverse years of minimal funding and
military readiness accounts.
In addition, the bill includes several provisions aimed at improving
the readiness and operation of naval surface forces in response to the
tragic collisions suffered last year with the loss of 17 sailors of the
Fitzgerald and the McCain.
We also addressed aviation readiness concerns by increasing flying
hours, funding for spare parts, and depot level repair capacity. With
military end strength at a premium for operational units, Federal
civilians are an ever-increasingly important component of military
readiness.
This bill contains several measures meant to improve the civilian
workforce management with a special emphasis on faster hiring. There is
a provision that provides the Secretary of Defense hiring authority for
many critical readiness skills until 2025, as well as the ability to
hire new college graduates.
Also included are several additional authorities to provide
commanders innovative ways to solve installation infrastructure
problems, including a measure that will speed execution of force
protection projects.
In conclusion, I want to thank Chairman Mac Thornberry and Ranking
Member Adam Smith and the subcommittee's distinguished ranking member,
the gentlewoman from Guam (Ms. Bordallo), and her staff for their
contributions to this bill and support in the process.
Of course, we were joined by an active and informe and dedicated
group of subcommittee members with professional staff members. Their
recommendations and priorities are clearly reflected in the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019.
I strongly urge my colleagues to support this worthy bill.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield 3 minutes to the
gentleman from Rhode Island (Mr. Langevin), the ranking member of the
Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities.
Mr. LANGEVIN. Mr. Chairman, I thank the ranking member for yielding.
Mr. Chairman, I would like to begin by thanking Chairman Thornberry,
Ranking Member Smith, and Chairwoman Elise Stefanik, the chair of the
Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities, on which I am proud
to serve as ranking member. I thank them all for their contributions to
this bill that is before us today. Each year, our committee's
legislation addresses issues vital to the defense of our Nation, and
their leadership was key in crafting this bill.
I would also like to thank the ETC staff for their work on this bill,
particularly, Lindsay Kavanaugh, Pete Villano, Jamie Jackson, Eric
Snelgrove, Katie Sutton, Mark Pepple, and Nevada Schadler, as well as
my personal staff, Kathryn Mitchell-Thomas, and my two fellows, Brian
Mandock and David Wagner.
{time} 1800
Mr. Chairman, this bill contains many critical provisions that will
enable and enhance our national security.
We added $1 billion beyond the President's request for the Virginia-
class and Columbia-class submarines, ensuring continued naval and
strategic superiority beneath the seas.
We also incorporated my provision to require the Department to
include energy and climate resiliency efforts as a factor for
consideration in major military installation master plans so that we
can be better prepared to face climate change head-on.
The ETC portion of the bill ensures that we are also ready for future
threats by strengthening cyber operations and increasing preparedness
for countering weapons of mass destruction.
It also bolsters capability at the pointy tip of the spear,
especially when it comes to supporting our Special Operations Forces,
who execute our Nation's most difficult missions. We bolster this
capability by embracing risk, enhancing innovation, and improving
oversight.
To ensure we maintain strategic overmatch with near-peer adversaries,
we invest heavily in research and development, with a specific focus on
transitioning critical capabilities to the warfighter. For example, the
bill includes $40 million in additional funding for electromagnetic
railgun programs as well as $10 million to grow future cyber warriors
through the DOD Cyber Scholarship Program.
The bill guides the Department as we confront new threats across the
globe by expanding upon previous initiatives--for instance, encouraging
the use of initiatives modeled on the successful Hack the Pentagon
program to update cyber vulnerability and mitigation assessments of
Department facilities--and by exploring ways to safeguard the integrity
of increasingly globalized supply chains that support critical
technologies.
As we look to protect our country from threats beyond the next ridge
line, it is essential these science and technology initiatives remain
prioritized. We will not defeat next-generation threats resting on the
success of our past.
In closing, Mr. Chairman, I again thank and congratulate Chairwoman
Stefanik and all of the members of the subcommittee for their efforts
as well as the members of the House Armed Services Committee for their
dedication to national security.
Again, I thank the gentleman for yielding, and I thank the chairman
and the ranking member for their outstanding leadership of the
committee.
I look forward to voting in favor of this bill.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I am pleased to yield 3 minutes to the
gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Turner), the chair of the Subcommittee on
Tactical Air and Land Forces.
Mr. TURNER. Mr. Chairman, I rise in strong support of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019.
I thank Chairman Thornberry and all of the members of the committee
and certainly the group known as the
[[Page H4370]]
defense hawks in this body, who fought so diligently on increasing the
top line so that this number will make a difference and change the
direction of our national security.
I also thank our subcommittee ranking member, Ms. Niki Tsongas, for
her support and contribution to this bill. The bipartisan partnership
she and her staff demonstrated in helping to craft this bill is much
appreciated.
Niki has also served with me for the last 7 years as the co-chair of
the Military Sexual Assault and Prevention Caucus. Although this will
be her last National Defense Authorization Act, her work on the
subcommittee and the caucus on sexual assault prevention will be a
strong legacy.
Within the Subcommittee on Tactical Air and Land Force's
jurisdiction, this bill recommends authorization of over $97 billion in
needed modernization funding that is necessary for our comparative and
competitive advantage against strategic peer competitors.
The bill again recognizes the importance of fifth-generation strike
fighter capability and supports the President's budget request for 77
Joint Strike Fighters. This bill also authorizes the Department to
procure additional F-35 aircraft if funds become available through cost
savings and program efficiencies.
I also want to take this opportunity to highlight the many foreign
partners that compromise the F-35 program, which often gets overlooked
by many. These foreign partnerships strengthen our ability to better
operate with our allies in future conflicts.
The bill includes several oversight provisions to facilitate
mitigation efforts for physiological episodes occurring in military
aircraft, to include requiring the Secretary of the Navy and the
Secretary of the Air Force to certify that any new aircraft procured
will have the most current technological advancements available to
mitigate future physiological episodes.
However, much work remains to be done to improve overall aviation
readiness and safety. Going forward, our subcommittee will conduct a
more detailed review of the investigative and governance processes
related to aviation safety mishaps.
The bill provides an additional $623 million for the JSTARS recap
program. Based on our analysis resulting from extensive committee
oversight activity, we have concluded that completely walking away from
this program imposes an unacceptable level of risk to our warfighters.
The bill recommends funding to modernize 1.5 armored brigade combat
teams, which is absolutely necessary for our Army.
For the seventh consecutive year, this bill addresses sexual assault
in the military. The bill requires the Department to create a single
office responsible for sexual offender registration; expands expedited
transfer rights for victims of sexual assault; and further empowers the
Defense Advisory Committee on Investigation, Prosecution, and Defense
of Sexual Assault in the Armed Forces.
This bill also protects our servicemembers and their families by
closing a gap in the way the Department prescribes controlled
substances. The bill requires the Department to share more information
with State prescription drug monitoring programs to combat the opioid
epidemic.
Finally, I would like to recognize the role small businesses plays.
The Small Business Innovation Research Program is highlighted and is
bolstered in this.
Mr. Chairman, I encourage all of my colleagues to support this bill.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I am pleased to yield 3
minutes to the gentlewoman from Guam (Ms. Bordallo), the ranking member
of the Subcommittee on Readiness.
Ms. BORDALLO. Mr. Chairman, first, I commend Chairman Thornberry,
Ranking Member Smith, and the committee staff, who have worked many,
many long nights on the fiscal year 2019 National Defense Authorization
Act, a bill that displays a true example of bipartisan support.
The Subcommittee on Readiness' portion of the bill takes important
steps to aid readiness recovery and improve our military's readiness.
The bill includes a number of provisions aimed at improving readiness
of the surface Navy. This is a priority for the subcommittee,
especially following the four incidents that occurred in the Pacific
last year. While the Navy has taken steps to address issues identified
in the Strategic Readiness Review and Comprehensive Review, additional
steps are still necessary.
The bill also includes reporting requirements to improve oversight of
key readiness issues and assess readiness over time. We further address
military installations and infrastructure by supporting resiliency,
force protection, research and development, and improvements to our
defense communities.
The bill provides continuing support to our DOD civilian personnel,
who are invaluable to military readiness. Their hard work does not go
unnoticed.
I especially thank Chairman Thornberry for following through on his
commitment to me to include my provision to address the critical
workforce shortages on Guam for our construction and healthcare
industries.
I also thank Ranking Member Smith and the distinguished Subcommittee
on Readiness chair, Joe Wilson, for all of their support.
It is important that we address Guam's workforce challenges to meet
requirements of our international agreements and for enhancing our
regional security. I look forward to continuing to work together to
protect the full intent of this legislation.
This bill also supports American ship repair jobs on Guam and the
United States. The bill requires the Navy to treat vessels without a
homeport as if they are homeported in the U.S. or Guam. This will
ensure that scheduled maintenance of these ships is performed, as
intended, at domestic American shipyards rather than in foreign
countries.
In addition, the bill prohibits the Navy from redeveloping Guam's
former ship repair facility for any purpose other than to support
depot-level maintenance, to include the mooring of a floating dry dock.
The Navy should maintain depot-level ship repair capability, especially
in the Western Pacific.
Mr. Chairman, I look forward to working with my colleagues on both
sides of the aisle as this process continues.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I am pleased to yield 3 minutes to the
gentleman from Alabama (Mr. Rogers), the distinguished chair of the
Subcommittee on Strategic Forces.
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Chairman, I thank Chairman Thornberry and
Ranking Member Smith for their leadership in bringing this year's NDAA
to the floor with another overwhelmingly bipartisan vote of 60-1 out of
our committee.
I also thank my friend, the gentleman from Tennessee, Jim Cooper,
the ranking member of the Subcommittee on Strategic Forces, for working
with me on some of the most difficult and complex issue sets that the
HASC is responsible for.
The issues we deal with--nuclear weapons, missile defense, and
space--are difficult issue sets, but our strong, bipartisan working
relationship ensures the best oversight and policy is provided for our
warfighters. I thank the gentleman for helping all of us in this
regard.
I will focus on some of the key provisions under the jurisdiction of
our subcommittee.
First, nuclear modernization. This bill starts with a clear-minded
view of the threat posed by our strategic competitors Russia and China.
The Strategic Forces section of the bill heeds the advice of General
John Hyten to ``go fast'' and ensures that the U.S. will have a safe,
secure, and modern nuclear deterrent. We accelerate funding for the
LRSO and GBSD. We ensure full funding of a low-yield nuclear weapon
option, as recommended by the Nuclear Posture Review, and we invest in
our nuclear infrastructure.
On missile defense, we place additional emphasis on space-based
sensing, boost-phase intercept, and directed-energy efforts. We also
preserve the Missile Defense Agency's unique acquisition authorities,
ensuring that the MDA can continue to quickly deliver capabilities to
defend against the missile threats of today and tomorrow. Additionally,
we accelerate funding for our own conventional prompt strike hypersonic
weapon development.
In the space domain, we continue to press the Department of Defense
and
[[Page H4371]]
the Air Force to fix the significant flaws in the organization and the
management of the national security space enterprise.
In our section of the bill, we direct the establishment of a new
numbered Air Force to help better resource the space cadre. We
establish a sub-unified command for space to help bring back the
advocacy and priority of space within the COCOMs. And we
continue pressing for space acquisition reform.
Since last year, President Trump has endorsed the establishment of an
independent space force. We remain committed to laying the foundation
for the space force and to keeping the pressure on the rest of the
executive branch to make progress in this regard.
This is a strong defense bill that directly contributes to increasing
the lethality and agility of our troops, and I urge the House to adopt
this legislation and vote ``yes.''
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I am pleased to yield 3
minutes to the gentleman from Connecticut (Mr. Courtney), the ranking
member of the Subcommittee on Seapower and Projection Forces.
Mr. COURTNEY. Mr. Chairman, I rise in support of this bill.
I want to begin by thanking the chair and ranking member of the full
committee for their leadership in getting this bill to the floor and
their commitment to regular order.
The bill before us has already gone through several rounds of
bipartisan input, from the thousands of individual requests from
members of the House Committee on Armed Services to more than 420
amendments and more than 14 hours of debate at full committee markup,
to more than 560 amendments submitted from the whole House for
potential debate this week.
I believe that this commitment to regular order is one of the main
reasons, when we pass this bill this week, it will be the 58th year in
a row that the House has passed a defense authorization.
I also salute my friend and colleague, Chairman Rob Wittman, for his
inclusive and bipartisan approach to his role on the Subcommittee on
Seapower and Projection Forces.
This year's mark continues a multiyear, bipartisan effort by the
Subcommittee on Seapower and Projection Forces to push the Navy to
explore options to build up important capabilities. To that end, the
bill before us recommends 3 additional battle force ships above the 10
ships in the President's request.
It also continues the National Security Multi-Mission Vessel program
to ensure that future mariners at our State maritime academies have
new, American-made training ships and follows on last year's work on
the subcommittee to recapitalize the Ready Reserve Force.
This bill also builds on the work our subcommittee has done to ensure
that the Navy and industry have the resources to expand our undersea
force. The need and rationale for a larger force of 66 fast attack
submarines was laid out in the Navy's 2016 Force Structure Assessment,
which was based on a thorough analysis of strategic challenges that are
emerging in the maritime domain.
This year, and for the second year in a row, the committee heard
blunt and powerful testimony from both Admiral Harris of Pacific
Command and General Scaparrotti of European Command that their
requirements for submarines are not being met by our current force
structure and warned that the expected decline in the undersea fleet
carried unacceptable risk for the country.
Last year, the Committee on Armed Services responded to these
warnings by including authorization to procure additional submarines in
our mark--authority that was eventually carried to the final NDAA and
this year's omnibus.
Navy officials have recently testified before the subcommittee about
their intention to use this new authority to provide options for
additional submarines in the next 5-year construction contract.
Therefore, this year, the NDAA will make a downpayment on two
additional submarines by providing authorization to fund the long-lead
materials necessary to take advantage of industrial base capacity in
fiscal years 2022 and 2023.
I also note that this shipbuilding plan was based on the 2016 Force
Structure Assessment and is not tied to the Nuclear Posture Review. The
shipbuilding plan is about platforms; the posture review is about
armaments. Its call for low-yield nuclear weapons is a profound
departure from our existing strategic defense, and I want to associate
my remarks today with Mr. Smith regarding that issue.
{time} 1815
This bill and the committee report also include several provisions
which I sought in committee, including additional support for our
Procurement Technical Assistance Centers, continued support for DOD
impact aid, and ensuring that our troops receive imminent danger pay in
a timely matter.
Finally, I want to highlight the hard work of the staff for their
tireless effort to put together the Seapower sections of this bill.
The CHAIR. The time of the gentleman has expired.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chair, I yield an additional 30 seconds
to the gentleman from Connecticut.
Mr. COURTNEY. Mr. Chair, I thank the gentleman for yielding.
Mr. Chair, I thank Dave Sienicki, Bruce Johnson, Phil MacNaughton,
and Megan Handal. None of this is possible without the countless hours
they put in and the invaluable expertise they provide us.
Mr. Chair, I again thank Chairman Thornberry and Ranking Member Smith
for a productive and collaborative process that has led to, I believe,
an excellent product here today.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from
Virginia (Mr. Wittman), the distinguished chair of the Subcommittee on
Seapower and Projection Forces.
Mr. WITTMAN. Mr. Chair, I am continually asked why I believe we need
to increase our financial support for our national security.
My credentials as a fiscal hawk could be perceived as contrary to my
concerns on insufficient national security funding. I realize that our
Federal Government has a variety of choices to either increase or
diminish specific programs that, in the entirety, make a more efficient
and effective government.
However, when it comes to our national security, our choices are
quickly limited. It is painfully obvious that our Nation's military is
at a crossroads. We can choose to retreat from the world and allow
other nations to dictate the circumstances of our fiscal health, or we
can choose to lead from the front and shape the affairs of our national
security.
I choose the latter. I choose a military that can provide for our
domestic security and is capable of protecting our national interests
abroad.
Our force structure is rapidly diminishing. The capability and
capacity that were provided during the Reagan military buildup era are
quickly coming to an end. We have 11 aircraft carriers but are
currently on track to reduce to 9 aircraft carriers in the next 30
years. Our attack submarine force structure will be reduced by 20
percent in the next 10 years. Our Air Force is the oldest, smallest,
and least ready force in its history.
The axiom of ``quantity has a quality all of its own'' will be sorely
tested.
Distressingly, our military readiness continues to atrophy. We lost
17 sailors in 2 ship collisions last year. We lost 25 airmen in 2 C-130
transport incidents.
We continue to see the impacts of the lack of readiness attention. As
we review the reduction of our force structure along with increased
accident rates over the last year, it is clear that we need to address
both current readiness and future readiness concerns in this bill.
Mr. Chairman, I think our committee does a good job of prioritizing
current and future readiness and efficiently acquiring required ships
and aircraft.
I am particularly pleased that H.R. 5515 authorizes 13 ships, which
includes the original 10 ships in the fiscal year 2019 budget request
as well as an additional 3 battle force ships, including 1 Ford-class
aircraft carrier and 2 additional LCS.
The bill authorizes advanced procurement for two additional Virginia-
class submarines and authorized multiyear procurement for the Marine
Corps' next amphibious ship class, LPD Flight II.
It also continues the critical research and development into the B-21
Raider
[[Page H4372]]
program and Columbia-class ballistic missile submarine. These
investments continue strategic priorities that will serve to address
our Nation's future readiness.
Mr. Chair, in closing, I want to recognize my ranking member, Mr. Joe
Courtney, for his continued advocacy and bipartisan approach to rebuild
our Navy. He has been an extraordinary proponent for an increased Navy
presence, particularly in the undersea community. His insight has been
instrumental in shaping the subcommittee mark.
I also want to thank Chairman Thornberry for his continued efforts
and effective leadership as he navigates the twists and turns of the
budget process and appropriations alignment. Our national security
would be significantly diminished without his exemplary efforts.
I also want to thank Ranking Member Smith for his continued
collaboration and cooperation in this bipartisan approach to make sure
that we produce the best bill possible.
I also would like to thank the staff for their extraordinary efforts,
and I encourage my colleagues to support the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield 3 minutes to the
gentlewoman from Massachusetts (Ms. Tsongas), our ranking member on the
Tactical Air and Land Forces Subcommittee.
Ms. TSONGAS. Mr. Chair, I thank Ranking Member Smith for yielding.
Earlier this month, the Armed Services Committee advanced the fiscal
year 2019 National Defense Authorization Act to the House floor with
broad, bipartisan support.
I thank Chairman Thornberry and Ranking Member Smith for their work
in developing this year's bill. I have greatly appreciated the
bipartisan tradition that annually allows us to come together to best
protect our country and those who serve on our behalf.
The Tactical Air and Land Forces Subcommittee has embodied that
spirit of bipartisanship, and I would like to thank my friend and
colleague Congressman Mike Turner for all the work we have done
together over the past several years.
I am especially pleased that the bill under consideration today
includes proposals related to better understanding and reducing
physiological episodes in Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force aircraft. I
believe it is important to keep calling on DOD to solve this problem
across multiple aircraft, wherever it occurs.
The bill also appropriately directs the Air Force to continue the
JSTARS recap program while the service works to develop a next-
generation JSTARS in order to ensure this critical capability remains
available to maximum effect to our servicemembers.
The proposal makes important investments in research and development
aimed at using advanced materials to increase ballistic protection and
reduce the weight of the personal protective equipment we issue to
those we send into harm's way.
With these provisions in mind, I look forward to continuing to work
with my colleagues to see that we provide our men and women in uniform
with the resources they need to carry out their mission.
Finally, I would like to thank all the members of the subcommittee
and the professional staff members for all of their dedicated work to
help produce this mark.
Mr. Chair, I urge passage of this bill.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from
Colorado (Mr. Coffman), the distinguished chair of the Subcommittee on
Military Personnel.
Mr. COFFMAN. Mr. Chairman, I rise in strong support of H.R. 5515, the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019.
The bill contains a variety of significant policy funding initiatives
that continue our commitment to maintaining military personnel and
family readiness and addresses issues important to our men and women in
uniform.
The provisions contained in this bill provide our warfighters,
retirees, and their families with pay and benefits necessary to sustain
them in today's highly stressed force.
To that end, this bill increases end strength across the services and
Reserve components, allowing the military services to increase mission
readiness while reducing strain on servicemembers and their families.
It extends pay and bonuses to servicemembers in high-demand fields,
providing the military services with the necessary tools to attract and
retain critical talent.
It improves the Transition Assistance Program to ensure that
servicemembers who are leaving the military receive training and
resources tailored to their post-military career plans.
And it requires a comprehensive review of wounded warrior care and
mental healthcare services, ensuring the highest possible quality of
care to those who have sacrificed for our Nation.
The bill also continues to provide oversight of critical issues
including additional protections for victims of sexual assault,
improvements to the Department of Defense's process for reporting
crimes to the FBI database, and the establishment of a Department of
Defense prescription drug monitoring program to share information with
State drug monitoring programs.
Mr. Chair, in conclusion, I want to thank my colleagues on the
Military Personnel Subcommittee, Ranking Member Jackie Speier, and the
rest of the members of the subcommittee for their contributions to the
mark and support in this process. Their recommendations are clearly
reflected in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
2019.
Mr. Chair, I strongly urge my colleagues to support this bill.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the
gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Brown), a member of the Armed Services
Committee and a veteran of our military. I appreciate his service on
the committee.
Mr. BROWN of Maryland. Mr. Chair, I want to first thank Chairman
Thornberry and Ranking Member Smith for bringing a solid, bipartisan
defense authorization bill to the floor.
As we consider one of the largest defense authorizations since World
War II, we must demand responsible leadership from both the Pentagon
and the Commander in Chief.
Responsible leadership starts with fiscal responsibility. A larger
budget doesn't guarantee a more capable force. We must spend our money
wisely. Instead of spending money on parades and walls or cutting
civilian jobs that support our worldwide mission, we should focus on
modernization, warfighter readiness, and our technological edge.
Responsible leadership, beginning with President Trump, must keep
faith with those who serve and treat them fairly and justly. We are
providing our troops with the largest pay raise in nearly a decade, but
we must also honor the service of every American: the transgender
soldier overseas, the Dreamer ready to defend the only country they
know, the HBCU student aspiring to a national security career. And
every member should be able to serve free from sexual harassment and
assault.
Responsible leadership requires our national security leadership team
to be responsive to evolving challenges and make strategic choices.
Our adversaries are attempting to shape the future. Russia is
meddling in democratic elections worldwide and disregarding
international borders and treaties. We cannot ignore this.
Our competitors are deploying every tool--military, economic,
information, and diplomatic--and so must the United States.
While China has outlined strategies through 2050 to become the
dominant global power, we must not hamstring our Defense Department or
limit the diplomatic and development efforts.
This bill gives our armed services the tools and resources they need
to defend our homeland, promote our values abroad, and respond to
security threats around the world.
Congress is doing its part, and the administration must do its, to
move from the vagaries of a Commander in Chief to responsible
leadership within a strategic framework.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I yield 3 minutes to the gentlewoman
from Missouri (Mrs. Hartzler), the distinguished chair of the
Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations.
Mrs. HARTZLER. Mr. Chairman, I rise in support of the National
Defense
[[Page H4373]]
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019. I thank Chairman Thornberry and
Ranking Member Smith for bringing this important bill to the floor.
For years, the House Armed Services Committee has been fighting
relentlessly to increase defense spending to ensure our troops have the
capabilities, capacity, and training needed to face the growing threats
of today.
Thanks to the leadership of Chairman Thornberry, we were able to pass
a 2-year budget agreement earlier this year that paved the way for the
committee to draft a defense authorization bill that will continue our
military's road to recovery.
As chairwoman of the Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee, I am
proud of the provisions included in this bill that relate to the
subcommittee's work, and I appreciate Ranking Member Seth Moulton's
support of these efforts, including several important provisions to
combat efforts by our adversaries to gain unauthorized access to highly
sensitive military technology.
We must face the reality that countries like China are using a whole-
of-nation approach to steal and exploit highly sensitive U.S. military
information.
This bill adds an extra layer of vetting for dual nationals who wish
to work at the DOD or the National Nuclear Security Administration.
The subcommittee is also conducting oversight on the transition of
DOD security clearances from the Office of Personnel Management to the
Department of Defense. The bill seeks to tackle security clearance
reciprocity issues by directing DOD to ensure seamless transition of
investigations between authorized investigative agencies.
This bill is also good news for the warfighter. It fully funds
continued development of the new B-21 bomber. Nuclear deterrence
remains the foundation of national security for the United States and
is fundamental to preserving international stability. The bomber fleet
is the most flexible leg of the nuclear triad, and it is vital that we
continue to invest in this new capability.
As we invest in the B-21, we must also ensure that our current bomber
fleet remains effective until the B-21 is operational. The NDAA
supports responsible modernization programs for the current fleet, such
as the B-2, to ensure we maintain our long-range strike capability.
It also continues to address readiness and modernization needs by
authorizing 24 additional F-18 Super Hornets, investing in A-10
modifications, and adding 4,000 troops to the Army's end strength.
These investments, along with many other important provisions, will
ensure our Nation remains safe and secure.
Mr. Chair, once again, I thank Chairman Thornberry for his leadership
in advocating on behalf of our national defense.
I am proud of this bipartisan bill, and I urge my colleagues to
support its passage.
{time} 1830
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the
gentleman from California (Mr. Garamendi), a member of the committee.
Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Chairman, my congratulations to the chairman of
our committee, Mr. Thornberry, and the ranking member, Mr. Smith, for
helping us put together an extremely important bill that does many,
many good things for our military and our national security. You have
heard speakers before me talk about those issues ranging from the
additional pay for our military personnel, both civil and enlisted. All
that is good.
However, I do want to raise an issue here, and that is, this bill
also pushes even further and faster down the path towards a new nuclear
arms race. I said before, we are well into the first quarter of it.
Well, when this bill goes into law, we will be well into the second
quarter, an extraordinarily expensive proposition, costing this country
well over $1.2 trillion to $1.5 trillion over the next 20 years.
It also puts us in a position where I believe we are not going to be
more safe. Many of the weapons that are being developed--the bombs, the
delivery systems--are designed not to be observed. So much of what we
have learned over the years about how to keep ourselves and our enemies
at bay on the mutually assured destruction track will not apply as we
go into this.
A couple of things immediately on my mind. A low-yield nuclear
weapon, there is no such thing as ``low.'' It happens to be a whole
lot, much larger than the bombs that were dropped on Hiroshima. So
where are we going to go here? Does it make us safer to have a low-
yield nuclear weapon on one of our submarines? Probably not, because
now that submarine has become not a strategic but, rather, a tactical
weapon and puts it in an entirely different class.
Also, there is a lot of money being spent on the National Nuclear
Security Administration, way over budget, $198 million--$115 million.
It goes on and on. Is that a smart thing to spend $115 million for the
mixed oxide facility? I think not.
So there are questions that could be raised, and hopefully, as this
bill progresses through the Congress, those questions will lead to a
better resolution.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I am pleased to yield 3 minutes to the
gentlewoman from New York (Ms. Stefanik), the distinguished chair of
the Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities.
Ms. STEFANIK. Mr. Chairman, I rise in strong support of this
bipartisan bill that will help ensure our technological superiority
over the next decade.
As the chairwoman of the Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and
Capabilities, I am proud of our portion of the bill which energizes our
science and technology enterprise, strengthens our cyber warfare
capabilities, enables our Special Operations Forces around the globe,
provides resources and authorities to counter terrorism and
unconventional warfare threats, and advances programs and activities
that counter the spread of weapons of mass destruction.
I am especially pleased with the subcommittee's work to review and
understand our adversarial threats, most notably, from China and
Russia.
We have maintained our focus on emerging technologies such as
artificial intelligence, directed energy, hypersonics, synthetic
biology, and robotics.
The bill before the House incorporates four broad subcommittee
themes. First, the bill better organizes the DOD to oversee,
accelerate, and integrate AI and machine learning across the defense
enterprise by including H.R. 5365, a bill I introduced with
subcommittee ranking member, Jim Langevin. This will establish a
national security commission on artificial intelligence to conduct a
thorough review of the wide ranging military applications of this
decisive technology.
Second, we build upon previous NDAAs and advance prototyping and
testing of directed energy weapons and hypersonic vehicles and
accelerate these technologies by authorizing an additional $100
million. This bill also demonstrates our resolve to protect our
servicemembers from the threat posed by our adversaries' deliberate
efforts to develop and field new technologies, ranging from unmanned
aerial systems to quantum sciences.
Third, the bill strengthens our whole of government cybersecurity
posture by establishing a pilot program that improves coordination and
partnering between the DOD and Homeland Security to prevent and respond
to cyber attacks against our critical infrastructure. It also
reinforces international partnerships in cyber warfare to counter
aggressive adversaries, such as Russia, China, and North Korea, and it
also includes support for our NATO partners to enhance cooperative
cyber and information warfare capabilities.
And finally, the bill authorizes U.S. Special Operations Command's
programs and activities, including ongoing efforts in Iraq, Syria,
Afghanistan, Somalia, and Eastern Europe. The bill will also strengthen
congressional oversight of ongoing counterterrorism and sensitive
activities and streamline DOD's oversight of countering weapons of mass
destruction.
Before I conclude, I want to thank Chairman Mac Thornberry for his
leadership, as well as my subcommittee ranking member Jim Langevin of
Rhode Island for his leadership.
I urge my colleagues to support the bill.
[[Page H4374]]
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, may I inquire as to how much
time is left on each side.
The Acting CHAIR (Mr. Johnson of Louisiana). The gentleman from
Washington has 10 minutes remaining. The gentleman from Texas has 6\1/
2\ minutes remaining.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chair, I don't have any further speakers
at this time. If the gentleman from Texas is prepared to close, then I
am prepared to close as well.
I yield myself the balance of the time.
Again, I just want to emphasize the most important aspect of this
bill is the bipartisan effort that we have done working together. There
are literally thousands of provisions in this bill. All of them are
important in their own way to helping make sure that we set the right
policy and make sure that the Department of Defense can be as strong as
is humanly possible.
One thing I didn't say in the opening remarks, that I do want to
point out, I particularly want to thank Chairman Thornberry on his
leadership on acquisition reform and reform in general--the idea of how
can we make sure that every dollar we spend at the Pentagon is spent as
wisely as possible. As we know that has not always been the case. I
think we made a number of reforms, more in the previous two years' bill
than in this one, but this one continues on that. I think it put us on
a path to having a more efficient and effective use use of dollars on
the Pentagon side.
We all look forward to that day, which is supposed to happen I
believe this year, when we actually get the full audit from the
Pentagon on where they spend their money. In these times of scarce
resources, it is incredibly important we get the most out of what we
spend.
And the last little piece on that point, I do worry about the future
from a fiscal standpoint. We are right now spending roughly 20 percent
more money than we take in every year, and that is projected to go up.
The debt to GDP ratio is over 100 percent and, again, is projected to
only go up.
We have got the deal for FY18 and FY19 which gives some degree of
predictability for our military--and that is good--because the last,
gosh, 8 years now, we have gone from CR to CR, couple of government
shutdowns, a number of threatened government shutdowns, and a large
amount of unpredictability which is a problem for the entire
discretionary budget--not just for the Department of Defense but every
other Department that is dependent upon the discretionary budget has
lived with uncertainty. That makes our government less efficient and
less effective. We need to lock in more predictability.
Now, traditionally at this point, this is when everyone says that the
Budget Control Act and the budget caps have got to go, and I agree with
that. The problem is you can get rid of the budget caps and you can get
rid of the Budget Control Act--and we certainly should. That was passed
back in 2011. It wasn't even passed for a good reason back then.
But even if you get rid of those caps, it doesn't make money
magically appear. We still have the debt and the deficit that we are
facing. We still have the crushing needs that we have, not just in the
Department of Defense, but in infrastructure and research and education
and a whole bunch of critical areas to the health and wellbeing of our
country.
Someone thought I was joking when someone talked about his ``fiscal
hawk credentials.'' I am wondering if anyone has fiscal hawk
credentials at this point when you look at the debt and deficit. We
have got to get that in order. Now I don't think we are going to
balance the budget tomorrow. I don't think we should. I think the
impact on the economy will be devastating, but we have got to get on a
glide path to a more fiscally sustainable situation or we are headed
for trouble.
I simply don't believe that you can spend 20 percent more money than
you take in forever and not have it be a problem. And everything you
want to know about how big a problem this is is contained in three
votes that we took over a couple month period.
There are many, many Members of Congress who voted for the tax cut,
which estimates say it is going to reduce our revenue by $2 trillion;
for the spending agreement, which increased our spending by $500
billion; and then, a week later, they voted for a balanced budget
amendment.
To say that that is a math problem is the understatement of the year.
It doesn't add up. We all say we want to balance the budget. We don't
want to raise taxes. We don't want to cut spending. That doesn't work
and a lot of different aspects of our government pay a price for that.
But the Department of Defense is one of the biggest. As the largest
portion of the discretionary budget, they pay the highest price when we
don't get ourselves on a fiscally responsible path, and national
security is at least one of, if not the most important function that
our government needs to provide.
So I think FY18 and FY19, those are good deals. The building code for
the future, we have got to get on a fiscally responsible path.
But, again, within this bill--and you have heard a lot of it from our
Members--there are a lot of good policies that I think are going to
make a very positive difference in terms of making our Department of
Defense work better and, most importantly, providing for the men and
women who serve our country and their families.
I thank the chairman. I thank the staff. I think, once again, we have
done outstanding work. I hope that we can get through the amendment
process, get this bill passed, and then go chat with the Senate about
getting the bill finished. They are marking their bill up in committee
this week, so I think we are on a good path to do that as well.
With that, I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself the balance of the time.
Mr. Chairman, I would just pick up on a couple of the points the
ranking member made, largely in agreement with him.
We do have fiscal challenges in this country, and that is even more
reason that, together, we need to continue to work to see that the
taxpayers get more value for the money that is spent by the Pentagon.
That is part of the reason that we have put such an effort, again, on a
bipartisan basis, on defense reform, on buying things and services
smarter, so that we can get more value for the taxpayer, but also, so
we can make decisions faster. With the world moving so quickly around
us, we have to be able to be more agile, and our reform efforts are a
part of that goal.
But I do think Secretary Mattis has cut to the heart of the matter
when he says, We can afford survival. Currently, defense is roughly 15
percent of the Federal budget, not much for all that it provides for
the American people and for the country. Yes, the country can afford to
survive.
Lastly, Mr. Chairman, I just want to make the point that over the
next 3 days we are going to consider many amendments. We are going to
hear debate about some of them. We got a taste of that tonight with a
difference, for example, on some of the policies in the nuclear posture
review, and we will have to vote on some of those amendments. There
will be people pro and con. Some Members, including me, may not have
our position prevail on all of those amendments.
But none of that should take away from the fact that there is far
more in this bill upon which we agree than upon which we disagree. I
think that is a very important message for friends and allies around
the world to hear, for adversaries or potential adversaries around the
world to hear, and, most importantly, for the men and women who have
volunteered to risk their lives, to serve our Nation, to protect our
freedoms, defend our country, they need to hear that there is far more
in this bill upon which there is agreement on a bipartisan basis than
any of the disagreements that we may discuss and, ultimately, vote on.
The country has to be defended. I am very proud, on a bipartisan
basis and a vote of 60-1, this bill has been reported favorably to the
House floor, and I look forward to its consideration over the next 3
days.
Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.

SEC. 111. NATIONAL GUARD AND RESERVE COMPONENT EQUIPMENT
REPORT.
(a) In General.--Section 10541(b) of title 10, United
States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following
new paragraph:
``(10) A joint assessment by the Chief of Staff of the Army
and the Chief of the National Guard Bureau on the efforts of
the Army to achieve parity among the active component, the
Army Reserve, and the Army National Guard with respect to
equipment and capabilities. Each assessment shall include a
comparison of the inventory of high priority items of
equipment available to each component of the Army described
in preceding sentence, including--
``(A) AH-64 Attack Helicopters;
``(B) UH-60 Black Hawk Utility Helicopters;
``(C) Abrams Main Battle Tanks;
``(D) Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicles;
``(E) Stryker Combat Vehicles; and
``(F) any other items of equipment identified as high
priority by the Chief of Staff of the Army or the Chief of
the National Guard Bureau.''.
(b) Effective Date.--The amendment made by subsection (a)
shall apply with respect to reports required to be submitted
under section 10541 of title 10, United States Code, after
the date of the enactment of this Act.
SEC. 112. LIMITATION ON AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS FOR M27
INFANTRY AUTOMATIC RIFLE PROGRAM.
(a) Limitation.--Of the funds authorized to be appropriated
by this Act or otherwise made available for fiscal year 2019
for the M27 Infantry Automatic Rifle program of the Marine
Corps, not more than 80 percent may be obligated or expended
until the date on which the Commandant of the Marine Corps
submits to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and
the House of Representatives the assessment described in
subsection (b).
(b) Assessment.--The assessment described in this
subsection is a written summary of the views of the Marine
Corps with respect to the Small Arms Ammunition Configuration
Study of the Army, including--
(1) an explanation of how the study informs the future
small arms modernization requirements of the Marine Corps;
and
(2) near-term and long-term modernization strategies for
the small arms weapon systems of the Marine Corps, including
associated funding and schedule profiles.
Subtitle C--Navy Programs
SEC. 121. INCREASE IN NUMBER OF OPERATIONAL AIRCRAFT CARRIERS
OF THE NAVY.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) The aircraft carrier can fulfill the Navy's core
missions of forward presence, sea control, ensuring safe sea
lanes, and power projection as well as providing flexibility
and versatility to execute a wide range of additional
missions.
(2) Forward airpower is integral to the security and joint
forces operations of the United States. Carriers play a
central role in delivering forward airpower from sovereign
territory of the United States in both permissive and
nonpermissive environments.
(3) Aircraft carriers provide our Nation the ability to
rapidly and decisively respond to national threats, as well
as conducting worldwide, on-station diplomacy and providing
deterrence against threats to the United States allies,
partners, and friends.
(4) Since the end of the cold war, aircraft carrier
deployments have increased while the aircraft carrier force
structure has declined.
(5) Considering the increased array of complex threats
across the globe, the Navy aircraft carrier is operating at
maximum capacity, increasing deployment lengths and
decreasing maintenance periods in order to meet operational
requirements.
(6) To meet global peacetime and wartime requirements, the
Navy has indicated a requirement to maintain two aircraft
carriers deployed overseas and have three additional aircraft
carriers capable of deploying within 90 days. However, the
Navy has indicated that the existing aircraft carrier force
structure cannot support these military requirements.
(7) Despite the requirement to maintain an aircraft carrier
strike group in both the United States Central Command and
the United States Pacific Command, the Navy has been unable
to generate sufficient capacity to support combatant
commanders and has developed significant carrier gaps in
these critical areas.
(8) Because of the continuing use of a diminished aircraft
carrier force structure, extensive maintenance availabilities
result which typically exceed program costs and increase time
in shipyards. These expansive maintenance availabilities
exacerbate existing carrier gaps.
(9) Developing an alternative design to the Ford-class
aircraft carrier is not cost beneficial. A smaller design is
projected to incur significant design and engineering cost
while significantly reducing magazine size, carrier air wing
size, sortie rate, and on-station effectiveness, among other
vital factors, as compared to the Ford-class. Furthermore, a
new design will delay the introduction of future aircraft
carriers, exacerbating existing carrier gaps and threatening
the national security of the United States.
(10) The 2016 Navy Force Structure Assessment states ``A
minimum of 12 aircraft carriers are required to meet the
increased warfighting response requirements of the Defense
Planning Guidance Defeat/Deny force sizing direction.''.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the United States should expedite delivery of 12
aircraft carriers; and
(2) an aircraft carrier should be authorized every three
years.
(c) Increase in Number of Operational Aircraft Carriers of
the Navy.--
(1) Increase.--Section 5062(b) of title 10, United States
Code, is amended by striking ``11 operational aircraft
carriers'' and inserting ``12 operational aircraft
carriers''.
(2) Effective date.--The amendment made by paragraph (1)
shall take effect on September 30, 2022.

(e) Limitation on Termination Liability.--A contract for
the construction of amphibious vessels entered into under
subsection (a) shall include a clause that limits the
liability of the United States to the contractor for any

striking ``a period of 30 days has elapsed following''.
SEC. 147. FINDINGS AND SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING KC-46
AERIAL REFUELING TANKERS.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Aerial refueling tankers provide an essential
foundation for our nation's ability to project power and
deter adversaries, enabling the global reach of our joint
force.
(2) 87 percent of the legacy aerial refueling fleet is
comprised of KC-135 aircraft with an average age of 56 years.
(3) The Commander of United States Transportation Command
has identified the aerial refueling fleet as the ``most
stressed of our air mobility forces'' and stated that
``delaying KC-46 production puts the Joint Force's ability to
effectively execute war plans at risk''.
(4) As directed by the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91), the Air Force is
undertaking an updated mobility capability and requirements
study that will reflect guidance articulated in the 2018
National Defense Strategy and reassess the current tanker
requirement of 479 aircraft.
(5) The fixed-price contract for KC-46A calls for 179
aircraft to be delivered by 2028.
(6) The KC-46 is a multirole platform that will bring
enhanced capabilities to both the aerial refueling and
strategic airlift missions. The aircraft provides the ability
to refuel joint and coalition aircraft by both boom and
drogue systems in the same sortie; improved cargo, passenger
and aeromedical evacuation capabilities; and enhanced
survivability with multiple layers of protection enabling it
to operate safely in a broader range of threat environments
than legacy tankers.
(7) The Government Accountability Office has stated: ``The
KC-46 program's total acquisition cost estimate remained
stable over the past year at $44,400,000,000, which is about
$7,300,000,000 less than the original estimate.''
(8) The Commander of Air Mobility Command has stated that
the KC-46 ``will bring tremendous capability to our joint
warfighter''.
(9) The Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for
Acquisition has stated: ``Stability of requirements and
funding are the keys to KC-46 program success and will enable
the Air Force to deliver this new tanker ready for employment
on day one.''
(10) The Military Deputy to the Assistant Secretary of the
Air Force for Acquisition has identified the KC-46 as the Air
Force's second highest combat aviation acquisition priority
``for the role that it plays in being able to power
project''.
(11) With the support of Congress, the Air Force has
executed three low rate initial production contracts for a
total of 34 aircraft. In fiscal year 2018, Congress provided
funding for a fourth production lot totaling 18 aircraft.
(12) A steady production rate of 1.3 aircraft per month has
been maintained through independent investment by industry in
order to expedite deliveries to the Air Force upon completion
of developmental testing and certification.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the Air Force and industry should dedicate the
resources and manpower necessary to ensure the first KC-46 is
delivered in fiscal year 2018;
(2) the Air Force should maximize efficiency in the test
and certification process to ensure that--
(A) test points are not redundant;
(B) test plans are approved expeditiously;
(C) receiver aircraft are available to support test
flights; and
(D) Air Force inputs necessary for Federal Aviation
Administration and military airworthiness certifications are
expedited; and
(3) the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for
Acquisition and the Director of the Defense Contract
Management Agency should develop and implement a plan
enabling the Air Force to accept and field KC-46 aircraft at
a rate higher than three aircraft per month after the
delivery of the first aircraft.

SEC. 333. SURFACE WARFARE TRAINING IMPROVEMENT.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) In 2017, there were three collisions and one grounding
involving United States Navy ships in the Western Pacific.
The two most recent mishaps involved separate incidents of a
Japan-based United States Navy destroyer colliding with a
commercial merchant vessel, resulting in the combined loss of
17 sailors.
(2) The causal factors in these four mishaps are linked
directly to a failure to take sufficient action in accordance
with the rules of good seamanship.
(3) Because risks are high in the maritime environment,
there are widely accepted standards for safe seamanship and
navigation. In the United States, the International
Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and
Watchkeeping (hereinafter in this section referred to as the
``STCW'') for Seafarers, standardizes the skills and
foundational knowledge a maritime professional must have in
seamanship and navigation.
(4) Section 568 of the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328; 130 Stat. 2139)
endorsed the STCW process and required the Secretary of
Defense to maximize the extent to which Armed Forces service,
training, and qualifications are creditable toward meeting
merchant mariner licenses and certifications.
(5) The Surface Warfare Officer Course Curriculum is being
modified to include ten individual Go/No Go Mariner
Assessments/Competency Check Milestones to ensure
standardization and quality of the surface warfare community.
(6) The Military-to-Mariner Transition report of September
2017 notes the Army maintains an extensive STCW
qualifications program and that a similar Navy program does
not exist.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the Secretary of the Navy should establish a
comprehensive individual proficiency assessment process and
include such an assessment prior to all operational surface
warfare officer tour assignments; and
(2) the Secretary of the Navy should significantly expand
the STCW qualifications process to improve seamanship and
navigation individual skills training for surface warfare
candidates, surface warfare officers, quartermasters and
operations specialists to include an increased set of courses
that directly correspond to STCW standards.
(c) Report.--Not later than March 1, 2019, the Secretary of
the Navy shall submit to the congressional defense committees
a report that includes each of the following:
(1) A detailed description of the surface warfare officer
assessments process.
(2) A list of programs that have been approved for credit
toward merchant mariner credentials.
(3) A complete gap analysis of the existing surface warfare
training curriculum and STCW.
(4) A complete gap analysis of the existing surface warfare
training curriculum and the 3rd mate unlimited licensing
requirement.
(5) An assessment of surface warfare options to complete
the 3rd mate unlimited license and the STCW qualification.

visits for redundancies, as well as any necessary items not
covered;
(3) recommendations to streamline surface vessel
inspections, certifications, and required and recommended
assist visits to optimize effectiveness, improve material
readiness, and restore training readiness; and
(4) recommendations for congressional action to address the
needs of the Navy as identified in the report.
(b) Congressional Briefing.--Not later than January 31,
2019, the Secretary of the Navy shall provide to the Senate
Committee on Armed Services and the House Committee on Armed
Services an interim briefing on the matters to be included in
the report required by subsection (a).

(b) Implementation.--Such plan shall be implemented not

SEC. 880. DEFENDING UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT COMMUNICATIONS.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) In its 2011 ``Annual Report to Congress on Military and
Security Developments Involving the People's Republic of
China'', the Department of Defense stated that, ``China's
defense industry has benefitted from integration with a
rapidly expanding civilian economy and science and technology
sector, particularly elements that have access to foreign
technology. Progress within individual defense sectors
appears linked to the relative integration of each, through
China's civilian economy, into the global production and R&D
chain . . . Information technology companies in particular,
including Huawei, Datang, and Zhongxing, maintain close ties
to the PLA.''.
(2) In a 2011 report titled ``The National Security
Implications of Investments and Products from the People's
Republic of China in the Telecommunications Sector'', the
United States China Commission stated that ``[n]ational
security concerns have accompanied the dramatic growth of
China's telecom sector. . . . Additionally, large Chinese
companies--particularly those `national champions' prominent
in China's `going out' strategy of overseas expansion--are
directly subject to direction by the Chinese Communist Party,
to include support for PRC state policies and goals.''.
(3) The Commission further stated in its report that
``[f]rom this point of view, the clear economic benefits of
foreign investment in the U.S. must be weighed against the
potential security concerns related to infrastructure
components coming under the control of foreign entities. This
seems particularly applicable in the telecommunications
industry, as Chinese companies continue systematically to
acquire significant holdings in prominent global and U.S.
telecommunications and information technology companies.''.
(4) In its 2011 Annual Report to Congress, the United
States China Commission stated that ``[t]he extent of the
state's control of the Chinese economy is difficult to
quantify . . . There is also a category of companies that,
though claiming to be private, are subject to state
influence. Such companies are often in new markets with no
established SOE leaders and enjoy favorable government
policies that support their development while posing
obstacles to foreign competition. Examples include Chinese
telecoms giant Huawei and such automotive companies as
battery maker BYD and vehicle manufacturers Geely and
Chery.''.
(5) General Michael Hayden, who served as Director of the
Central Intelligence Agency and Director of the National
Security Agency, stated in July 2013 that Huawei had ``shared
with the Chinese state intimate and extensive knowledge of
foreign telecommunications systems it is involved with.''.
(6) The Federal Bureau of Investigation, in a February 2015
Counterintelligence Strategy Partnership Intelligence Note
stated that, ``[w]ith the expanded use of Huawei Technologies
Inc. equipment and services in U.S. telecommunications
service provider networks, the Chinese Government's potential
access to U.S. business communications is dramatically
increasing. Chinese Government-supported telecommunications
equipment on U.S. networks may be exploited through Chinese
cyber activity, with China's intelligence services operating
as an advanced persistent threat to U.S. networks.''.
(7) The Federal Bureau of Investigation further stated in
its February 2015 counterintelligence note that, ``China
makes no secret that its cyber warfare strategy is predicated
on controlling global communications network
infrastructure.''.
(8) At a hearing before the Committee on Armed Services of
the House of Representatives on September 30, 2015, Deputy
Secretary of Defense Robert Work, responding to a question
about the use of Huawei telecommunications equipment, stated,
``In the Office of the Secretary of Defense, absolutely not.
And I know of no other--I don't believe we operate in the
Pentagon, any [Huawei] systems in the Pentagon.''.
(9) At such hearing, the Commander of the United States
Cyber Command, Admiral Mike Rogers, responding to a question
about why such Huawei telecommunications equipment is not
used, stated, ``as we look at supply chain and we look at
potential vulnerabilities within the system, that it is a
risk we felt was unacceptable.''.
(10) In March 2017, ZTE Corporation pled guilty to
conspiring to violate the International Emergency Economic
Powers Act by illegally shipping United States-origin items
to Iran, paying the United States Government a penalty of
$892,360,064 dollars for activity between January 2010 and
January 2016.
(11) The Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets
Control issued a subpoena to Huawei as part of a Federal
investigation of alleged violations of trade restrictions on
Cuba, Iran, Sudan, and Syria.
(12) In the bipartisan Permanent Select Committee on
Intelligence of the House of Representatives ``Investigative
Report on the United States National Security Issues Posed by
Chinese Telecommunication Companies Huawei and ZTE'' released
in 2012, it was recommended that ``U.S. government systems,
particularly sensitive systems, should not include Huawei or
ZTE equipment, including in component parts. Similarly,
government contractors--particularly those working on
contracts for sensitive U.S. programs--should exclude ZTE or
Huawei equipment in their systems.''.
(13) Christopher Wray, who serves as Director of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation, stated in February 2018
during a hearing of the Select Committee on Intelligence of
the Senate that he was ``deeply concerned about the risks of
allowing any company or entity that is beholden to foreign
governments that don't share our values to gain positions of
power inside our telecommunications networks. That provides
the capacity to exert pressure or control over our
telecommunications infrastructure. It provides the capacity
to maliciously modify or steal information. And it provides
the capacity to conduct undetected espionage.'' Admiral Mike
Rogers, who served as Director of the National Security
Agency, agreed with Director Wray's characterization, and
added that Government programs need ``to look long and hard
at companies like this''.
(14) Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats, Federal
Bureau of Investigation Director Christopher Wray, Director
of the Defense Intelligence Agency General Robert Ashley,
Director of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency
Robert Cardillo, Director of the National Security Agency
Admiral Michael Rogers, and Director of the Central
Intelligence Agency Michael Pompeo all indicated by show of
hands in February 2018 at a hearing of the Select Committee
on Intelligence of the Senate that they would not ``use
products or services from Huawei or ZTE''.
(15) General Paul Nakasone, who served as the Commanding
General of United States Army Cyber Command, stated during
his
[[Page H4425]]
confirmation hearing to be National Security Agency director
in March 2018 before the Select Committee on Intelligence of
the Senate that he ``would not'' use any Huawei, China
Unicom, or China Telecom products nor would he recommend his
family do so.

Equipment.--

provided in paragraph (3), beginning not later than January
1, 2021, the head of an agency may not procure or obtain, may

annex. The plan for an agency shall include, but not be
limited to, how the agency plans to deal with the impact of
white label technology on its supply chain whereby the
original manufacturer of technology is not readily apparent
to a purchaser or user.
(3) Waiver.--The head of an agency may, on a one time
basis, waive the requirement under paragraph (1) with respect
to an entity that requests such a waiver. Such a waiver may
be provided for a period of not more than two years if the
entity seeking the waiver--

additional time to implement such paragraph;
(B) submits to the head of the agency, who then submits to
the appropriate congressional committees within 30 days, a
full and complete laydown of the presence of covered
telecommunications equipment or services in the entity's
supply chain and a phase-out plan to eliminate such covered
telecommunications equipment or services from its systems;
(C) does not permit real-time access to its networks to an
entity located or substantially located in a covered foreign
country; and
(D) provides a written guarantee to the head of the agency
that it will not procure such covered telecommunications
equipment or services again.
(4) Covered components.--With respect to a covered
component of an entity for which such entity reasonably
believes will not need to be replaced during the 5-year
period beginning on the date of the enactment of this Act,
such entity shall provide a written assurance to the head of
the agency for which such covered component is in use that
such entity shall replace such covered component, at the end
of such covered component's reasonable lifecycle, with a
comparable component that is manufactured by a person other
than Huawei Technologies Company or ZTE Corporation (or any
subsidiary, successor entity, or affiliate of such entities).

SEC. 1082. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE LEGACY, CONTRIBUTIONS,
AND SACRIFICES OF AMERICAN INDIAN AND ALASKA
NATIVES IN THE ARMED FORCES.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) The United States celebrates Native American History
Month each November to recognize and honor the history and
achievements of Native Americans.
(2) American Indian and Alaska Natives serve in all
branches of the Armed Forces, attend all service academies,
and defend our country with valiance, pride, and honor.
(3) More than 30,000 active duty, reserve, and National
Guard members of the Armed Forces identify as Native
American.
(4) American Indian and Alaska Natives have served and
continue to serve in the highest proportions to population
than any other ethnic group.
(5) American Indian and Alaska Natives have served in every
war, from the Revolutionary War to current overseas
conflicts.
(6) Native American veterans are Congressional Medal of
Honor, Congressional Gold and Silver Medals, Purple Heart,
and Bronze Star Medal recipients.
(7) American Indian and Alaska Native women serve in Armed
Forces in higher proportions than any other ethnic group.
(8) Native American Code Talkers and their languages proved
an invaluable asset during World Wars I and II.
(9) Ira Hayes, Akimel O'odham (Pima) helped to raise the
American flag on Iwo Jima;
(10) Dr. Joseph Medicine Crow, Apsaalooke (Crow), served in
WWII and became a war chief.
(11) Numerous present and past military aircraft,
helicopters, and munitions programs bear the names of Native
American tribes and tribal leaders to honor their legacy of
martial prowess, including the Apache, Kiowa, Black Hawk,
Lakota, Chinook, Huron, Iroquois, Comanche, Cayuse,
Chickasaw, Ute, Gray Eagle, Mescalero, Tomahawk, and more.
(12) Native American tribes commonly take part in
ceremonies alongside military units to bless new aircraft and
mark successful inception of new fleets.
(13) More than 140,000 veterans across the United States
identify as Native American.
(14) Each November, the Department of Defense honors the
unique and special relationship with tribal communities
during Native American Heritage Month.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that

American Indian and Alaska Natives and tribal communities to
the military of the United States; and

Alaska Native members of the Armed Forces and veterans with
regard to representation in senior military leadership
positions, improving access to culturally competent resources
and services, and supporting families and tribal communities.
SEC. 1083. AMATEUR RADIO PARITY.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) More than 730,000 radio amateurs in the United States
are licensed by the Federal Communications Commission in the
amateur radio services.
(2) Amateur radio, at no cost to taxpayers, provides a
fertile ground for technical self-training in modern
telecommunications, electronics technology, and emergency
communications techniques and protocols.
(3) There is a strong Federal interest in the effective
performance of amateur stations established at the residences
of licensees. Such stations have been shown to be frequently
and increasingly precluded by unreasonable private land use
restrictions, including restrictive covenants.
(4) Federal Communications Commission regulations have for
three decades prohibited the application to stations in the
amateur
[[Page H4439]]
service of State and local regulations that preclude or fail
to reasonably accommodate amateur service communications, or
that do not constitute the minimum practicable regulation to
accomplish a legitimate State or local purpose. Commission
policy has been and is to require States and localities to
permit erection of a station antenna structure at heights and
dimensions sufficient to accommodate amateur service
communications.
(5) The Commission has sought guidance and direction from
Congress with respect to the application of the Commission's
limited preemption policy regarding amateur service
communications to private land use restrictions, including
restrictive covenants.
(6) There are aesthetic and common property considerations
that are uniquely applicable to private land use regulations
and the community associations obligated to enforce
covenants, conditions, and restrictions in deed-restricted
communities. These considerations are dissimilar to those
applicable to State law and local ordinances regulating the
same residential amateur radio facilities.
(7) In recognition of these considerations, a separate
Federal policy than exists at section 97.15(b) of title 47,
Code of Federal Regulations, is warranted concerning amateur
service communications in deed-restricted communities.
(8) Community associations should fairly administer private
land use regulations in the interest of their communities,
while nevertheless permitting the installation and
maintenance of effective outdoor amateur radio antennas.
There exist antenna designs and installations that can be
consistent with the aesthetics and physical characteristics
of land and structures in community associations while
accommodating communications in the amateur radio services.
(b) Application of Private Land Use Restrictions to Amateur
Stations.--
(1) Amendment of fcc rules.--Not later than 120 days after
the date of the enactment of this Act, the Federal
Communications Commission shall amend section 97.15 of title
47, Code of Federal Regulations, by adding a new paragraph
that prohibits the application to amateur stations of any
private land use restriction, including a restrictive
covenant, that--
(A) on its face or as applied, precludes communications in
an amateur radio service;
(B) fails to permit a licensee in an amateur radio service
to install and maintain an effective outdoor antenna on
property under the exclusive use or control of the licensee;
or
(C) does not constitute the minimum practicable restriction
on such communications to accomplish the lawful purposes of a
community association seeking to enforce such restriction.
(2) Additional requirements.--In amending its rules as
required by subsection (a), the Commission shall--
(A) require any licensee in an amateur radio service to
notify and obtain prior approval from a community association
concerning installation of an outdoor antenna;
(B) permit a community association to prohibit installation
of any antenna or antenna support structure by a licensee in
an amateur radio service on common property not under the
exclusive use or control of the licensee; and
(C) subject to the standards specified in paragraphs (1)
and (2) of subsection (a), permit a community association to
establish reasonable written rules concerning height,
location, size, and aesthetic impact of, and installation
requirements for, outdoor antennas and support structures for
the purpose of conducting communications in the amateur radio
services.
(c) Affirmation of Limited Preemption of State and Local
Land Use Regulation.--The Federal Communications Commission
may not change section 97.15(b) of title 47, Code of Federal
Regulations, which shall remain applicable to State and local
land use regulation of amateur service communications.
(d) Definitions.--In this section:
(1) The term ``community association'' means any non-profit
mandatory membership organization composed of owners of real
estate described in a declaration of covenants or created
pursuant to a covenant or other applicable law with respect
to which a person, by virtue of the person's ownership of or
interest in a unit or parcel, is obligated to pay for a share
of real estate taxes, insurance premiums, maintenance,
improvement, services, or other expenses related to common
elements, other units, or any other real estate other than
the unit or parcel described in the declaration.
(2) The terms ``amateur radio services'', ``amateur
service'', and ``amateur station'' have the meanings given
such terms in section 97.3 of title 47, Code of Federal
Regulations.

United States is critical to national security;
(2) the United States Government must devote adequate
resources to securing the border, both at, and between, ports
of entry, and the agency tasked with that mission, the
Department of Homeland Security, should be adequately

``we have very modest expectations that they [Russia] would

interest to return to compliance.''.

Intelligence, testified before the Senate Armed Services

violating the INF Treaty because ``Moscow probably believes

Command, also testified before the Senate Armed Services
[[Page H4447]]
Committee on March 20, 2018, about potential strategic

strategy. . .and that's why those funds have been

BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND THE RUSSIAN
FEDERATION.

for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328; 130 Stat. 2488), as

Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91), is further
amended by striking ``or 2018'' and inserting ``, 2018, or

SEC. 1238. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING RUSSIA'S VIOLATIONS OF
THE CHEMICAL WEAPONS CONVENTION.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) The United States ratified the Convention on the
Prohibition of the Development, Production, Stockpiling and
Use of Chemical Weapons and on their Destruction, known as
the ``Chemical Weapons Convention'', on April 24, 1997.
(2) The Russian Federation ratified the Chemical Weapons
Convention on November 5, 1997.
(3) Article 1 of the Chemical Weapons Convention requires
all signatories to ``never under any circumstances...use
chemical weapons''.
[[Page H4450]]
(4) Russia's stock of chemical weapons has been implicated
in the assassination or injuries of the following
individuals:
(A) Sergei Skripal, Yulia Skripal, and Wiltshire Police
Detective Sergeant Nicholas Bailey, poisoned using the nerve
agent ``novichok'' in Salisbury, England, in March 2018.
(B) Alexander Litvinenko, poisoned using polonium, in
London, England, in November 2006, about whose death a
January 2016 inquest ordered by the British Parliament
concluded ``the FSB operation to kill Mr Litvinenko was
probably approved by Mr Patrushev [then-director of the FSB]
and also by President Putin''.
(5) Russia has also demonstrated its disregard for the
obligations imposed by the Chemical Weapons Convention by--
(A) continuing to provide military and diplomatic support
for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, who has used chemical
weapons including chlorine gas and sarin against Syrian
citizens;
(B) actively working to hinder the efforts of inspectors of
the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons in
Syria; and
(C) consistently using its veto power at the United Nations
Security Council to prevent effective international action
against Assad for such activities.
(6) The Condition 10(C) Report on Compliance with the
Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production,
Stockpiling and Use of Chemical Weapons and on Their
Destruction published by the Department of State in March
2018 asserts that ``Based on available information, the
United States cannot certify that Russia has met its
obligations under the Chemical Weapons Convention for
declaration of its: (1) [chemical weapons production
facilities]; (2) [chemical weapons] development facilities;
and (3) [chemical weapons] stockpiles. In fact, due to
Russia's March 4, 2018, use of a military-grade nerve agent
to attack two individuals in the United Kingdom, the United
States certifies that the Russian Federation is in non-
compliance with its obligations under the [Chemical Weapons
Convention].''.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that
the Russia's actions constitute violations of Russia's
obligations under the Chemical Weapons Convention.
SEC. 1239. UNITED STATES ACTIONS REGARDING MATERIAL BREACH OF
INF TREATY BY THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION.
(a) United States Actions.--If the President does not
certify to the appropriate congressional committees that the

the United States as a matter of United States law.
(b) Definitions.--In this section:
(1) Appropriate congressional committees.--The term

the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of
Representatives.

Between the United States of America and the Union of Soviet
Socialist Republics on the Elimination of Their Intermediate-
Range and Shorter-Range Missiles, commonly referred to as the
``Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty'', signed at
Washington December 8, 1987, and entered into force June 1,
1988.
SEC. 1240. LIMITATION ON AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS TO EXTEND THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NEW START TREATY.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) The New START Treaty provides that, ``[w]hen a Party
believes that a new kind of strategic offensive arm is
emerging, that Party shall have the right to raise the
question of such a strategic offensive arm for consideration
in the Bilateral Consultative Commission''.
(2) Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin stated in a
March 1, 2018, public speech that--
(A) ``I will speak about the newest systems of Russian
strategic weapons that we are creating. . .we have embarked
on the development of the next generation of missiles.'';
(B) ``We started to develop new types of strategic arms
that do not use ballistic trajectories at all when moving
toward a target.'';
(C) ``One of them is a small-scale heavy-duty nuclear
energy unit that can be installed in a missile like our
latest X-101 air-launched missile. . .In late 2017, Russia
successfully launched its latest nuclear-powered missile at
the central training ground. During its flight, the nuclear-
powered engine reached its design capacity and provided the
necessary propulsion.'';
(D) ``[i]n December 2017, an innovative nuclear power unit
for this unmanned underwater vehicle completed a test cycle
that lasted many years. . ..[t]he tests that were conducted
enabled us to begin developing a new type of strategic weapon
that would carry massive nuclear ordnance'';
(E) ``[b]y the way, we have yet to choose names for these
two new strategic weapons, the global range cruise missile
and the unmanned underwater vehicle. We are waiting for
suggestions from the Defence Ministry'';
(F) ``A real technological breakthrough is the development
of a strategic missile system with fundamentally new combat
equipment- a gliding wing unit, which has also been
successfully tested. . .[w]e called it the Avangard''; and
(G) ``I want to specifically emphasise that the newly
developed strategic arms - in fact, new types of strategic
weapons- are not the result of something left over from the
Soviet Union. Of course, we relied on some ideas from our
ingenious predecessors. But everything I have described today
is the result of the last several years, the product of
dozens of research organisations, design bureaus and
institute.''.
(3) During the House Armed Services Committee hearing on
April 12, 2018, Secretary of Defense James Mattis was asked
whether Russia should honor the terms of the treaty and limit
its new strategic offensive arms under the New START Treaty
as it requires and he stated ``Sir, I believe they should.''.
(b) Limitation.--None of the funds authorized to be
appropriated or otherwise made available for fiscal year 2019

systems'' means the following:
(A) The heavy intercontinental missile system known as

(C) An unmanned underwater vehicle known as ``Status 6'' or
otherwise identified.
(D) The long-distance guided flight hypersonic weapons
system known by ``Avanguard'' or otherwise identified.

(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) The United States has a national strategic interest in
ensuring that the United States maintains political,
diplomatic, economic, military, and technological advantages
over competitive adversaries.
(2) The 2018 National Defense Strategy states that ``the
central challenge to the U.S. prosperity and security is the
reemergence of long-term, strategic competition by what the
National Security Strategy classifies as revisionist powers.
It is increasingly clear that China and Russia want to shape
a world consistent with their authoritarian model--gaining
veto authority over other nations' economic, diplomatic, and
security decisions''.
(3) The 2018 National Defense Strategy further states that
``China is leveraging military modernization, influence
operations, and predatory economics to coerce neighboring
countries to reorder the Indo-Pacific region to their
advantage. As China continues its economic and military
ascendance, asserting power through an all-of-nation long
term strategy, it will continue to pursue a military
modernization program that seeks Indo-Pacific regional
hegemony in the near-term and displacement of the United
States to achieve global preeminence in the future''.
(4) Statements by officials of the United States and
leading experts have emphasized that the United States
requires a whole-of-government response, across the full
spectrum of capabilities, to address the challenges posed by
China.
(b) Statement of Policy.--Congress declares that long-term
strategic competition with China is a principal priority for
the United States that requires the integration of multiple
elements of national power, including diplomatic, economic,
intelligence, law enforcement, and military elements, to
protect and strengthen national security.

research and development.
(iii) The use of economic tools, including market access
and investment to gain access to sensitive United States

(vi) The use of military activities, capabilities, and

SEC. 1608. DESIGNATION OF COMPONENT OF DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
RESPONSIBLE FOR COORDINATION OF HOSTED PAYLOAD
INFORMATION.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) Using commercially hosted payloads is an option for the
Department of Defense that should be considered in analyses
of alternatives, as it could increase cost savings, speed up
capability to orbit, and contribute to resilience through the
use of disaggregated space systems by the Department.
(2) The use by the Department of commercially hosted
payloads has been limited so far, using commercial satellites
to host three experimental payloads to date, though the use
of hosted payloads could expand in the future.
(3) The Department does not have the knowledge the
Department needs to determine if commercially hosted payloads
are an acquisition approach worth pursuing.
(4) The Department faces challenges in matching payloads to
commercial hosts, due to numerous logistical challenges to
matching payloads to hosts, including coordinating the size,
weight and power of the payload with the commercial host, and
aligning acquisition and funding timelines between government
and commercial programs.
(5) The Comptroller General of the United States in
preliminary findings concluded that the space acquisition
culture of the Department lacks sufficient knowledge, such as
costs, technical parameters, and lessons learned, to
determine the benefits and address the challenges of using
commercially hosted payloads and that the existing knowledge
is fragmented across the Department without any plans to
consolidate it.
(6) Programs are not required to report data on
commercially hosted payloads to any centralized office or
database, and leveraging cost and technical data from hosted
payload efforts could inform future interested programs and
avoid duplication of efforts, but currently no such
comprehensive data source exists.
(b) Designation.--Not later than 30 days after the date of
the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense, in
coordination with the Secretary of the Air Force, and other
Secretaries of the military departments and the heads of
Defense Agencies the Secretary determines appropriate, shall
designate a component of the Department of Defense or a
military department to be responsible for coordinating
information, processes, and lessons learned relating to using
commercially hosted payloads across the military departments,
Defense Agencies, and other appropriate elements of the
Department of Defense. The functions of such designated
component shall include, at a minimum, the following:
(1) Systematically collecting information from past and
planned hosted payload arrangements to inform future
acquisition planning and space system architecture design,
including integration test data, lessons learned, and design
solutions.
(2) Creating a centralized database for cost, technical
data, and lessons learned on commercially hosted payloads and
sharing such information with other elements of the
Department.

is amended by striking ``2019'' and inserting ``2022''.
SEC. 1649. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON NUCLEAR POSTURE OF THE UNITED
STATES.
It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) for more than 70 years, the nuclear deterrent of the
United States has played a central role in the national
security of the United States and international stability;
(2) the nuclear forces of the United States have and will
continue to play a fundamental role in deterring aggression
against the interests of the United States and the allies of
the United States in an increasingly dangerous world;
(3) strong, credible, and flexible nuclear forces of the
United States assure the allies of the United States that the
extended deterrence guarantees of the United States are
credible and that the resolve of the United States remains
strong even in the face of nuclear provocations, including
nuclear coercion and blackmail;
(4) the 2017 National Security Strategy and the 2018
National Defense Strategy correctly assess that, due to
increased global disorder and complexity, the decline of the
international rules-based order and security environment, and
the erosion of the competitive advantages of the United
States, interstate strategic competition must now be the
primary focus of the national security strategy of the United
States;
(5) the 2018 Nuclear Posture Review aligns with these
conclusions, and recognizes that deterrence is dynamic, not
static, and that while the nuclear posture and policies of
the United States are underpinned by enduring consistency,
such posture and policies must also undergo measured
adjustments to remain credible as threats evolve;
(6) the Russian Federation has elevated the role of nuclear
weapons in its strategies, is developing and deploying new
nuclear capabilities (including a recently announced nuclear-
powered cruise missile and high-speed, nuclear-powered
underwater drone), is violating many arms control agreements
(including the INF Treaty), and has made explicit nuclear
threats against the United States and the allies of the
United States;
(7) the United States remains committed to its full range
of nuclear arms control and nonproliferation obligations and
seeks continued engagement for prudent and verifiable
agreements, however, the policies and actions of the United
States must also hold states that violate arms control
treaties accountable for such violations and take such
violations into account when considering further arms control
agreements;
(8) the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) plays an
essential role in the national security of the United States
and NATO should continue to strengthen and align its nuclear
and conventional deterrence posture, planning, and exercises
to align with modern threats, including modernizing its dual-
capable aircraft, command and control networks, nuclear-
related facilities, and conventional capabilities;
(9) to deter large-scale, catastrophic war with Russia, the
People's Republic of China, and other potential adversaries,
as well as reassure allies, the United States requires
reliable, diverse, and tailorable nuclear forces that are
able to respond to a variety of current threats while
preparing for future uncertainty;
(10) the 2018 Nuclear Posture Review reconfirms the value
of the nuclear triad and dual-capable aircraft of the United
States, directs the continuation of the comprehensive nuclear
modernization program initiated by the previous
administration, and proposes two supplemental capabilities (a
lower-yield submarine-launched ballistic missile warhead and
a sea-launched cruise missile) that will strengthen
deterrence and assurance and reduce the chances that nuclear
weapons are used in conflict;
(11) three successive Secretaries of Defense across two
administrations have stated that nuclear deterrence is the
highest priority mission of the Department of Defense; and
(12) in light of this prioritization, the age of the
current nuclear forces and infrastructure of the United
States, and the small percentage of the defense budget that
will be expended on the recapitalization of the nuclear
deterrent of the United States, the modernization of the
nuclear forces, command and control systems, and supporting
infrastructure of the United States is affordable and a
national imperative.
SEC. 1650. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON EXTENDED NUCLEAR DETERRENCE
IN THE INDO-PACIFIC REGION.
It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the nuclear program of the Democratic People's Republic
of Korea poses a critical national security threat not only
to the United States, but to the security and stability of
the entire Indo-Pacific region, including South Korea, Japan,
and Australia;
(2) the nuclear and conventional forces of the United
States continue to play a fundamental role in deterring
aggression against its interests and the interests of its
allies in the Indo-Pacific region and beyond;
(3) the United States stands unwaveringly behind its treaty
obligations and assurances, including those related to
defense and extended nuclear deterrence, to South Korea,
Japan, and Australia;
(4) the complete, verifiable, and irreversible
denuclearization of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea
remains a central foreign policy objective of the United
States;
(5) the status of any denuclearization or end-of-conflict
agreement with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea
should not supersede such treaty obligations and assurances
described in paragraph (3); and
(6) the presence of United States Forces on the Korean
Peninsula should remain strong and enduring.
Subtitle E--Missile Defense Programs

(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) The Department of Energy and its contractors rely to a
significant extent on workers to bring attention to important
nuclear safety concerns.
(2) The Department of Energy, including the National
Nuclear Security Administration, have a strong interest in
preventing whistleblower retaliation and in ensuring the work
environment is conducive to employees raising concerns.
(3) Retaliation against whistleblowers can lead to a
chilled work environment in which employees do not feel free
to raise important safety concerns.
(4) The Comptroller General of the United States found in a
2016 report titled ``Whistleblower Protections Need
Strengthening'' that the Department of Energy had
infrequently used its enforcement authority to hold
contractors accountable for unlawful retaliation, issuing
only two violation notices in the past 20 years.
(5) The Comptroller General also found that the Department
had taken limited or no action to hold contractors
accountable for creating a chilled work environment.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) raising nuclear safety concerns is important for
avoiding potentially catastrophic incidents or harm to
workers and the public;
(2) the Department of Energy should protect whistleblowers
and take action against contractors and subcontractors that
retaliate against whistleblowers; and
(3) such action sends a strong signal to prevent or limit
retaliation against whistleblowers.
(c) Civil Penalties.--The Secretary of Energy, including by
acting through the Administrator for Nuclear Security as
appropriate, shall impose civil penalties under section 234
a. of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (42 U.S.C. 2282(a)), as
the Secretary or the Administrator determines appropriate, on
contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers for violations of
the rules, regulations, or orders of the Department of Energy
relating to nuclear safety and radiation protection.
(d) Chilled Work Environment.--Not later than 120 days
after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary
shall clearly define what constitutes evidence of a chilled
work environment with respect to employees and contractors of
the Department making a whistleblower complaint under section
4602 of the Atomic Energy Defense Act (50 U.S.C. 2702), or
any other law that may provide protection for disclosures of
information by such employees or contractors, without fear of
being discharged, demoted, or otherwise discriminated against
as a reprisal.
(e) Notification.--
(1) In general.--Not later than February 1, 2019, and each
year thereafter through 2021, the Secretary of Energy shall
submit to the appropriate congressional committees an annual
notification on whether any penalties were imposed pursuant
to subsection (c), including a description of such penalties
and the entities against which the penalties were imposed.
(2) Appropriate congressional committees.--In this
subsection, the term ``appropriate congressional committees''
means--
(A) the congressional defense committees; and

detail and appropriate protections of proprietary information
or data;
(C) any prior business of the participant with the
Department; and
(D) whether the participant's technology was incorporated
into a program of record.
(d) Use of Database.--After the database is established
under subsection (a), the Secretary of Defense shall
encourage program offices across the Department of Defense to
consult the database before initiating a Request for
Information or a Request for Proposal to determine whether an
organic technology exists or is being developed currently by
a an entity supported by the Department (which may include a
company, academic consortium, or other entity).
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 905, the gentleman
from Texas (Mr. Thornberry) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Texas.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may
consume.
Mr. Chairman, there is widespread, bipartisan support for efforts to
expand the number of small businesses that do business with the
Department of Defense. I particularly want to thank Chairman Chabot and
Ranking Member Velazquez of the Small Business Committee for their
partnership in working toward that goal.
Unfortunately, I believe that a number of small businesses that may
receive some initial funding to do business with the Department of
Defense and develop their technologies have found that they do not
continue to do business with the Department of Defense or their
technologies are not taken up into a program of record so that it is a
temporary, one-time infusion of cash which does not fully accomplish
the goals that so many of us want to achieve.
This amendment requires the Department of Defense to set up a
database of small business innovators, specifically those who receive
grants through the Small Business Innovation Research program and the
Small Business Technology Transfer program, so that we can track these
businesses and see: Do their technologies get taken up in a program of
record? Do these small businesses do further business with the
Department of Defense? I think that is in doubt, but we won't know
until we have this database.
That is the purpose of this amendment. I recommend its adoption, and
I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chair, I claim the time in opposition,
although I am not opposed to the amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, the gentleman is recognized for
5 minutes.
There was no objection.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chair, I support the gentleman's
amendment. I just want to comment on a couple of aspects of it.
I think it is incredibly important that we get more small businesses
involved. Sometimes the best technology, the best ideas, that is where
they start, and working with the Pentagon bureaucracy can be
overwhelming.
A large company like Lockheed Martin or Boeing doesn't have a
problem, but maybe the best ideas come from some small garage startup.
I think making affirmative efforts to make sure we reach out and get
those companies involved is something that is very important and
something we need to continue to do. Yes, we need to track the success
of it.
Given the record of some of the programs of record, I personally
would hesitate to judge them based on whether or not they made it into
a program of record. I know we have done some reforms where it has
worked where they don't have to get into a program of record. The
Pentagon doesn't have to go through all of the processes that are
involved with that. They just are able to say: I like that. We are
going to buy it.
[[Page H4557]]
In fact, that is one of the reforms that the chairman has been a
leader on doing is freeing up more opportunity, particularly when you
are talking about technology, to simply buy the best product instead of
having to do an RFP and a down select and going through a lengthy
process. So I agree with the chairman on that.
As we are judging whether or not these small businesses are truly
contributing to our national security, I would hope we would keep two
things in mind. One is having a program of record may not necessarily
be a measure of whether or not they are doing that; and two, not all
ideas work out, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't keep pursuing
them. It is the Silicon Valley mantra that it is okay to fail. You
learn something from that. You build a better technology. And with the
rapid pace of technology, that is part of what we need to do as well.
I think these programs are critically important. The gentleman's
amendment will help with that. I support the amendment, and I yield
back the balance of my time.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chair, I would just say the gentleman is right. I
don't mean to say that inclusion in a formal program of record is the
only measure of success. I just think we need to track this to see: Do
those small businesses continue to do business with the Department of
Defense? Are their technologies taken up or not? That is the goal here.
Mr. Chair, I appreciate the gentleman, and I yield back the balance
of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentleman from Texas (Mr. Thornberry).
The amendment was agreed to.
Amendment No. 2 Offered by Mr. Nolan
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 2
printed in House Report 115-698.
Mr. NOLAN. 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 title XV.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 905, the gentleman
from Minnesota (Mr. Nolan) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Minnesota.
Mr. NOLAN. Mr. Chairman, my amendment would strip all funding
authorizations for the overseas contingency operations fund for fiscal
year 2019, saving the American taxpayers $69 billion, but that is just
the tip of the iceberg.
The overseas contingency fund has been called out by many, myself
included, and including Democrats and Republicans and liberals and
conservatives, that this OCO budget is nothing but a slush fund for the
purpose of circumventing the Budget Control Act in order to fund these
endless wars of choice and the so-called nation-building that has been
so costly to our country and our people in blood and in treasury.
As a result of the Cost of War Act, sponsored by our good friend
John Lewis in 2016, we now have a more elaborate and adequate picture
of how much these endless wars are costing us.
You will see from the chart that I have here that we are now involved
in conflicts in 76 different countries all over the world. That is
right. Forty-six percent of the countries in the world are involved in
one kind of a conflict or another, and we have gotten ourselves
involved in those.
Twenty-two of them happen to be in the Middle East, in Africa, where
I have a little background to qualify myself on this. I lived in the
Middle East. I have studied the language. I have got a fairly good idea
what has been happening and what is going on there. So what I would
like you to do is to just bear with me and look at the numbers as a
result of that cost of war resolution.
Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs at Brown
University estimated we spent $5.6 trillion on these so-called wars of
choice, that we have an additional $7.9 trillion going forward just on
the interest paying for those costly wars, and that we have $2 trillion
going forward to take care of the veterans.
That is right, the men and women who stood up to serve and protect
us. They suffered irreparable damage. They lost arms. They lost legs.
They had irreparable damage to their bodies and minds and spirits.
Twenty-three of them are committing suicide every day. This totals up
to be a little over $15 trillion.
I don't have time in my 5 minutes to go through it, but I could tell
you in detail how we have been on every side of every one of these
conflicts at one time or another, and it is time to put an end to it.
We have so many unmet domestic needs in this country.
You all know, as Members of Congress, we need more money for
infrastructure. We need more money for education. We need more money
for healthcare. We need more money for mental health. We need more
money for this and that, and indeed we do, but the money is not there.
That is the answer all the time: No, we don't have money to spend at
the National Institutes of Health or anyplace else.
Why? Well, show me your budget. Show me your budget, and I will show
you your priorities. $15 trillion has gone into the endless wars of
choice, making ourselves the policemen of the world, so-called nation-
building of the world.
Well, let's think about it. For one of those trillion we could have
graduated every kid in America from college debt free. Don't tell me we
can't afford to do that.
For another one of those trillion dollars, there is another trillion
for infrastructure. Don't tell me we don't have the money to do that.
For another one of those trillion dollars maybe we find a cure for
cancer or diabetes or Alzheimer's or the mental health treatment that
is needed throughout this country. And guess what? We would still have
$12 trillion left.
Give America a tax break. Put some money down toward deficit
reduction. Maybe take care of some of the other unmet human needs in
this country. That is what this is all about.
Are we going to be standing here 10 years from now? We just elected
two Presidents in a row that got elected because they were going to
stop these wars in the Middle East, these endless wars of choice. You
can quarrel with my numbers if you like, but President Trump just came
out and said Afghanistan and Iraq, alone, cost $7 trillion.
It is hard to get these numbers out, but thanks to John Lewis and
the Cost of War Act, we are getting a look at it.
My friends, two things: one, there are a lot of things in life you
would like to do and you can't afford, and that is the case here. It is
going to bankrupt this country. Two, there are things you do that
create more problems than they solve, and that is the same with these
endless wars of choice. It is time to put an end to it.
We hear Republicans and Democrats and liberals and conservatives all
over the country. They are in unanimous agreement. Two Presidents got
elected because they were going to get us out of these wars, and the
wars continue. The only way we are going to stop them is to stop
funding them, and that is what my amendment is all about.
Please support it, and please pass it.
Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I claim the time in opposition.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Texas is recognized for 5
minutes.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself 3 minutes.
Mr. Chair, I was interested to hear the gentleman's reasoning behind
his amendment. Just to clarify for all Members, the overseas
contingency account existed before the Budget Control Act existed. The
reason it was created was because we live in a volatile, dynamic world,
and there needed to be some accounting mechanism that would be
responsive to particular kinds of conflicts so that, if we needed more
people, more weapons to be successful, for example, fighting a
terrorist in a particular location, you would have that flexibility.
But those funds are authorized and appropriated just like every other
part of the defense budget is. So the assertion that one sometimes
reads that these are slush funds that can be spent as wanted by the
Pentagon is, of course, absolutely not true.
Mr. Chairman, it is true that our forces are engaged in more
countries
[[Page H4558]]
where there are conflicts going on--not that we are in all of those
conflicts, but we are engaged with local militaries in more countries
than we had been in the past. Part of the reason is because the
terrorism problem has spread to more countries than it has in the past,
and most of us think that it is better to engage terrorists over there
rather than just stick our heads in the sand and wait for them to come
attack us over here. So that has been part of what has happened, at
least in the past 17 years, as we try to prevent terrorist attacks here
at home.
I have to say thanks to our military and intelligence community and
law enforcement, they have been remarkably successful.
I would just say, finally, Mr. Chairman, as I mentioned before, 15--
one, five--15 percent of the Federal budget is spent to defend this
country. The rest, 85 percent is spent on other things. When John
Kennedy was President, it was 50 percent of the Federal budget that was
spent defending the country. As Secretary Mattis says: I think we can
afford survival.
So I understand the sentiment that we wish all of this conflict would
go away and the world would just be a peaceful place. It hasn't quite
happened yet, and until it does, it is important for the United States
to be strong, to keep terrorists engaged overseas rather than here, and
that is exactly what the overseas contingency account tries to help
accomplish.
Mr. Chairman, I yield such time as he may consume to the gentleman
from Washington (Mr. Smith), the ranking member of the Armed Services
Committee.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chair, first, let me say I agree with
Mr. Nolan on a couple of key points.
Number one, I think the overseas contingency fund has come to be
relied on too much. Yes, it was created before the Budget Control Act,
but these wars have been going on long enough now that we ought to be
able to incorporate it into the funds. So I agree with him on that. But
completely zeroing out the overseas contingency fund, I think, is
irresponsible, because while I agree in some cases the terrorism threat
may be overblown, it is, nonetheless, real.
{time} 1900
Yemen is always the best example. We went into Afghanistan after 9/
11. We dealt with that. We thought we had al-Qaida contained. And then
we had the underwear bomber in Detroit and the package bombs that both
almost came into the U.S. and attacked us, and they came out of Yemen.
So we had to respond to that. We had to respond in our own self-
defense. And that is part of what the overseas contingency fund funds.
So, if we wanted to reduce it, if we wanted to get more transparency,
I am all for that. But to simply zero it out would basically be to say
that we have all these wars and we really have none of them.
I am somewhere in between on that. So I can't support zeroing out the
overseas contingency fund, although I do agree with some of the
statements that the sponsor of the amendment made.
Mr. Chairman, because it zeros it out completely, I have to oppose
the amendment.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I oppose the amendment, and I yield
back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentleman from Minnesota (Mr. Nolan).
The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the noes
appeared to have it.
Mr. NOLAN. 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 Minnesota
will be postponed.
Amendment No. 3 Offered by Ms. Gabbard
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 3
printed in House Report 115-698.
Ms. GABBARD. Mr. Chairman, I rise to offer my amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:
Strike section 1225.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 905, the gentlewoman
from Hawaii (Ms. Gabbard) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Hawaii.
Ms. GABBARD. Mr. Chairman, make no mistake: the authorization in
section 1225 of the underlying bill authorizes our U.S. military to go
to war with Iran.
One of the main reasons why I voted against this bill in committee
was specifically because of this provision that authorizes the
Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of State to ``develop and
implement a strategy with foreign partners to counter the destabilizing
activities of Iran.''
The provision does not define what destabilizing activities they want
our troops and taxpayer dollars to counter. It does not define a clear
objective or end state for our troops to achieve.
In addition, this provision shuts the American people out from this
decision entirely by circumventing Congress' constitutional
responsibility to declare war and giving unilateral power and unending
authorization to counter Iran to this and future administrations
without defining in any way, shape, or form what the objective really
is.
It sidelines Congress and the American people entirely, with the only
requirement being that the administration report to Congress after
their plan is being implemented and only for the next 4 years, while
the authorization for war has no expiration date.
It gives after-the-fact license for what is already happening in the
Middle East. Since 2015, without express congressional authorization,
U.S. troops have been providing direct military support to Saudi Arabia
and Yemen through information sharing, logistical support, and
refueling Saudi warplanes which have dropped U.S.-made bombs on Yemeni
civilians.
The most recent attack was on a Yemeni wedding party, with 2 rounds
of bombing killing more than 20 people and wounding dozens of others.
This Saudi-led interventionist war has created one of the worst
humanitarian disasters in history, worsening a situation that has led
to mass starvation, cholera outbreaks, devastation, thousands of
civilian deaths, and tens of thousands of injuries.
This provision gives total authority to the administration to keep
U.S. troops in Syria or any other country in the Middle East as long as
they deem necessary--an intention clearly stated by members of this
administration.
To name a few examples, U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley said last month
that U.S. troops would stay in Syria indefinitely until their goals are
accomplished--namely, to counter Iran.
National Security Advisor John Bolton said in a 2015 op-ed entitled
``To Stop Iran's Bomb, Bomb Iran'' that ``the United States could do a
thorough job of destruction, but Israel alone can do what is necessary.
Such action should be combined with vigorous American support for
Iran's opposition, aimed at regime change in Tehran.''
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo recently advocated that the U.S. will
``crush'' Iran with economic and military pressure unless it changes
its behavior in the Middle East.
So it is clear that, if left unchecked, war hawks in the Trump
administration will drag our country into more Middle East wars,
leaving destruction in its wake around the world and here at home.
Trillions of taxpayer dollars have already been spent on these
regime-change wars in the Middle East since 9/11. Rather than dumping
more taxpayer dollars in these wars, as this provision authorizes, we
should instead be investing in rebuilding our community right here at
home.
For too long, the U.S. has engaged in military adventurism and
interventionist wars, sending our troops overseas with no clear
objective or end state. Countering Iran is not an end state that our
military or diplomats can achieve. Without a clear objective, you end
up in endless war.
So what is the objective of this authorization for war? Is it regime
change in Iran? Regime change in Syria? More war against Iran and
Syria? Yemen?
I strongly urge my colleagues to consider the serious consequences of
section 1225 being enacted, because it would authorize any or all of
these.
It is Congress' responsibility and constitutional role to declare
war. The American people have a right to real
[[Page H4559]]
debate on such a declaration. I urge my colleagues to support the
passage of my amendment to uphold this responsibility.
Mr. Chairman, may I inquire how much time I have remaining.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Hawaii has 1 minute remaining.
Ms. GABBARD. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from
California (Mr. Khanna).
Mr. KHANNA. Mr. Chairman, I want to thank Representative Gabbard for
offering this amendment for one simple reason: it is going to stop the
march to war in Iran, another blunder like Iraq.
I don't understand our foreign policy. It seems that the
qualification, in John Bolton's case, is to be wrong for the last 25
years, and then that makes you an expert--wrong about Iraq and wrong
about the neoconservative philosophy that got us into this mess.
This amendment, forget all the details; we are rushing again to
another historic blunder, and this Congress needs to stop that. I
respect Representative Gabbard for putting this forward so we don't
make another blunder in our foreign policy.
Ms. STEFANIK. Mr. Chairman, I claim the time in opposition.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from New York is recognized for 5
minutes.
Ms. STEFANIK. Mr. Chairman, I oppose the amendment to strike section
1225, which is an important and necessary provision in the fiscal year
2019 NDAA.
Iran is a significant threat not only to Israel but to the stability
of the entire region, and this provision provides an effective plan to
counter their destabilizing efforts.
Iran has supported militias in Syria, provided weapons to Hezbollah
in Lebanon, and helped the Houthi militia to overthrow the government
in Yemen. They continue to pose a threat to Israel by building up
forces near Israel's northern border and to U.S. forces in the region
as well.
This provision not only emphasizes the importance of multilateral
cooperation, but it encourages the Secretary of Defense to establish a
framework for critical mutual investments in ISR assets, ballistic
missile defense, and cybersecurity and cyber defense.
At its core, section 1225 supports the National Defense Strategy by
highlighting the importance of partnerships and the responsibility of
all affected nations to contribute in order to achieve shared
objectives. It is only through this level of shared responsibility that
the United States can expect to manage the threat from Iran, as well as
those from Asia and Europe.
Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the distinguished gentleman from
Illinois (Mr. Kinzinger).
Mr. KINZINGER. Mr. Chairman, I thank the gentlewoman for yielding.
It is a confusing amendment to me because, looking at what we want to
do, I haven't talked to many people who don't think that Iran isn't a
bad actor in the region. It is really almost impossible to find anybody
except somebody in the Iranian regime who would say that.
This basically peacefully works with our partners to say: Let's find
a strategy to counter this terrible activity, this terrible regime.
Cyber defense. Working together for intelligence. What do we do to come
together with our friends to make sure we can counter these
destabilizing activities?
If this amendment would pass, it would hand a victory to a few
people. It would hand a victory to Russia--Russia that has invested a
lot in propping up the Assad regime and working with the Iranian regime
to do so.
This would be a huge victory to Bashar al-Assad, who has killed half
a million of his own people simply because he wants to stay in power.
Fifty thousand of those are children, by the way. Many of those gasped
their last breath on chemical weapons.
This would be a victory to Hezbollah, which has 150,000 rockets aimed
at our best ally in the Middle East, Israel, that is worried about
their future. This is the same Iran that calls Israel ``little Satan''
and the United States ``big Satan.''
And this would be, of course, a huge victory for Iran itself. This is
a nation that is responsible for almost one-quarter of American deaths
in Iraq that I actually operated against--one-quarter of the American
deaths in Iraq. I would think it is pretty good to counter that.
So, ultimately, this makes military action less likely, because we
are working with our allies to do what we can to prevent actions by
this regime that will make war more likely, as we saw in the escalating
situation between Israel and Iran just a week ago.
Mr. Chairman, I thank the gentlewoman for yielding the time. I urge
my colleagues to resoundingly defeat this amendment.
Ms. STEFANIK. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
Ms. GABBARD. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentlewoman from Hawaii (Ms. Gabbard).
The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the noes
appeared to have it.
Ms. GABBARD. 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 Hawaii
will be postponed.
Amendment No. 4 Offered by Mr. Aguilar
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 4
printed in House Report 115-698.
Mr. AGUILAR. Mr. Chairman, I have an amendment at the desk.
The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:
Page 790, line 1, insert ``and modification'' after
``extension''.
Page 790, line 7, strike ``Section 1043(a)(1)'' and insert
``(a) Extension.--Paragraph (1) of section 1043(a)''.
Page 790, after line 10, insert the following:
(b) Projected Future Total Lifecycle Costs.--Paragraph (2)
of such section is amended--
(1) by redesignating subparagraph (G) as subparagraph (H);
and
(2) by inserting after subparagraph (F) the following new
subparagraph (G):
``(G) An estimate of the projected future total lifecycle
cost of each type of nuclear weapon and delivery platform for
each five-year period occurring during the period beginning
on the date of the report and ending on the date that is 20
years after the date of the report.''.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 905, the gentleman
from California (Mr. Aguilar) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from California.
Mr. AGUILAR. Mr. Chairman, I want to thank the chairman of the full
committee and the ranking member for their hard work in developing this
product.
Mr. Chairman, our nuclear triad and the strategic deterrence it
provides helps protect our Nation from the existential threat of
nuclear war.
However, the age of its elements must give us pause. Our B-52s, of
which we have over 70 in current use, are over 50 years old. Our Ohio-
class submarines' lifespan has been extended from 30 years to 42 years,
and the first Minuteman III ICBMs were deployed 40 years ago.
With the number of nuclear-related threats increasing around the
globe, a credible, safe, secure, and reliable nuclear deterrent is
vital to our national security. But just because the modernization is
necessary does not mean that we should fail to track how much this
modernization process will cost.
Over the next 30 years, we will be replacing our bombers, ICBMs, and
ballistic missile submarines while also sustaining and modernizing our
nuclear bombs and warheads. Additionally, the 2018 Nuclear Posture
Review called for the development of low-yield nuclear weapons, a
nuclear-armed sea-launched cruise missile, and continuation of the Long
Range Standoff cruise missile.
Our old requirements, in combination with these new initiatives, make
cost estimates even more important if we hope to balance our
conventional and nuclear force investments.
My amendment would require the DOD to include a 20-year estimate of
the projected lifecycle costs of each type of nuclear weapon and
delivery platform in an annual report they already produce.
A CBO report released in October 2017 estimated that over a 30-year
span the sustainment and modernization of our nuclear forces will cost
$1.2 trillion, which, of course, didn't take into account delays,
changes to the weapons systems, or understated estimates.
[[Page H4560]]
If Congress hopes to provide proper oversight of these modernization
efforts, we must have up-to-date estimates that accurately reflect any
updates and changes that impact our nuclear bombs, warheads, and
delivery systems.
I reserve the balance of my time, Mr. Chairman.
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Chairman, I claim the time in opposition
to this amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes.
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I
may consume.
This amendment is very similar to NDAA amendments that have been
presented to and rejected by this House each of the last 4 years in a
row. One of the reasons this amendment has failed so many times is that
even the Obama administration opposed it.
A few years ago, President Obama's Assistant Secretary of Defense
told us that this type of multidecade report was a bad idea. He called
such a report ``burdensome,'' explaining, ``As you would expect,
looking out that far, 25 years, the credibility of the numbers would be
very, very suspect.''
He went on to say: ``Forecasting DOD costs over a 25-year period with
any useful accuracy is extremely difficult given the challenges of
predicting developments in the international security environment and
ongoing technological advancements.''
{time} 1915
The Trump administration opposes it, too.
Here is the view of the current Department of Defense on this idea:
``Projecting out 20 years will result in even lower quality cost
estimates with a higher degree of uncertainty. . . . `'
They go on to say: ``Given these and other uncertainties, cost
estimates that project beyond 10 years into the future provide little
value in understanding either the Department's fiscal position or its
performance in managing programs.''
This amendment would not result in good, effective oversight and
transparency. It would result in false, unreliable data entering the
public debate.
This amendment is part of a longstanding effort to make our nuclear
deterrent appear too expensive by calculating its costs over multiple
decades. Regardless of the trillion-dollar figures thrown around by
nuclear disarmament advocates, CBO has confirmed that our nuclear
deterrent will never cost us more than 7 percent of the defense budget
in coming decades. Seven percent of the defense budget to deter nuclear
attack on our country is a bargain.
As Secretary Mattis said last year: ``America can afford survival.''
Mr. Chairman, I urge a ``no'' vote, and I reserve the balance of my
time.
Mr. AGUILAR. Mr. Chairman, I thank my colleague for his comments. We
have had this discussion a number of times. I served on his committee
and have a lot of respect for him. But he called this a bad idea. He
said that it is a bargain if we just continue the status quo.
Mr. Chairman, the Department of Energy asked this exact question. The
Department of Energy produces a fiscal year stockpile stewardship and
management plan. It is a 25-year plan with long-term costs. It is
required in Federal code. We are doing this analysis in other areas.
Why isn't the Department of Defense doing this?
The majority seeks to say: Why even ask the question? We have to ask
ourselves, what is oversight if we don't ask hard questions?
Now, I think that there is a reason why folks like the National
Taxpayers Union, who have supported this amendment and have said that
they are going to score this amendment, have signed on to support it.
It is because we need to ask these tough questions.
If we are going to genuinely offer oversight, we need to ask how much
these programs cost, we need to plan, and we need to budget. It seems
like a reasonable step to take. I appreciate my colleagues' concerns,
and I would ask an ``aye'' vote of my colleagues.
Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the
gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Lamborn), my friend and colleague.
Mr. LAMBORN. Mr. Chair, I thank the chairman of the subcommittee for
the great work he has done and for his leadership on this issue.
I do agree with my colleague from California, yes, we need to do
modernization. If you will remember, President Obama pledged to
modernize our nuclear forces in return for the Senate passing the New
START Treaty.
The current national posture review, which has been endorsed by
security officials from several administrations going back, both
Democratic and Republican, says this:
Maintaining and operating our current aging nuclear forces now
requires between 2 and 3 percent of the DOD budget. The replacement
program to rebuild the triad for decades of service will peak for
several years at only approximately 4 percent beyond the ongoing 2 to 3
percent needed for maintenance and operations.
This 6.4 percent, just slightly under the 7 percent that the chairman
mentioned, of the current DOD budget required for the long-term
replacement program represents less than 1 percent of the overall
Federal budget. That is a bargain.
Nuclear warfare is, God forbid it should ever happen, an existential
threat. One percent of our Federal budget devoted to preventing that is
truly worth investing in. The modernization needs to take place. It is
well within the moneys that are going to be available to the Department
of Defense in the coming years.
I agree with the chairman that projecting 20 or 30 years out contains
so many potential inaccuracies, it would be kind of an unnecessary and
burdensome exercise, and not very useful. We do have and will have the
money. It is a vital investment.
I agree with the chairman. Let's turn this amendment down.
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. 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. Aguilar).
The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the noes
appeared to have it.
Mr. AGUILAR. 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 California
will be postponed.
Amendment No. 5 Offered by Mr. Garamendi
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 5
printed in House Report 115-698.
Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Chairman, I have an amendment at the desk as the
designee of the gentleman from Oregon (Mr. Blumenauer).
The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:
In section 3114--
(1) strike subsection (a) (and redesignate subsection (b)
as subsection (a));
(2) in subsection (a), as so redesignated, strike ``The
Secretary'' and insert ``Except as provided by subsection
(b), the Secretary''; and
(3) add at the end the following new subsection:
(b) Limitation.--Of the funds authorized to be appropriated
by this Act or otherwise made available for fiscal year 2019
for the W76-2 warhead modification program, not more than 50
percent may be obligated or expended until the date on which
the Secretary of Defense submits to the congressional defense
committees a report--
(1) assessing the potential effects of the modification or
development of a low-yield nuclear warhead for submarine-
launched ballistic missiles on strategic stability; and
(2) assessing options to--
(A) reduce the risk of miscalculation associated with
adversaries being unable to distinguish between a submarine-
launched ballistic missile carrying a low-yield warhead and
such a missile carrying several high-yield warheads; and
(B) preserve the survivability and the second-strike
capability of ballistic missile submarines without increasing
risk.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 905, the gentleman
from California (Mr. Garamendi) and a Member opposed each will control
5 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from California.
Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may
consume.
Mr. Chairman, this amendment deals with the new low-yield D5 or W76-2
nuclear warhead.
[[Page H4561]]
In the NDAA, there is the establishment of this new low-yield nuclear
warhead. This amendment would fence 50 percent of the funding for the
warhead until such time as the Secretary of Defense submits a report on
the program's impacts on strategic stability and options to reduce the
risk of miscalculation associated with the inability of adversaries to
be able to distinguish between an SSBN missile carrying a single low-
yield warhead and a missile carrying several high-yield nuclear
warheads, and to preserve the survivability of the second-strike
capability of the SSBNs. It also strikes the unnecessary provision in
the mark.
People who have looked at these issues--for example, former Secretary
of State George Shultz and Senator Lugar, recently wrote: ``The
justification for new Trident warheads fails on many levels. It is
unlikely that there is such a thing as a limited nuclear war; preparing
for one is folly.''
Back in January, 2018, former Secretary of State George Shultz wrote
in Congressional testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee:
``One of the alarming things to me is this notion that we can have
something called a small nuclear weapon, which I understand the
Russians are doing, and that somehow that's usable,'' he told the
panel.
He went on to say: ``Your mind goes to the idea that, yes, nuclear
weapons become usable. And then we're really in trouble, because a big
nuclear exchange can wipe out the world.''
Senator Nunn and former Secretary Moniz talked about this, saying:
``The most immediate priority should be to structure and posture U.S.
and Russian nuclear forces to deter nuclear use and reduce the risk of
an accidental, mistaken or unauthorized launch. Against this backdrop,
the current Russian concept of `escalate to de-escalate'--i.e., limited
nuclear use designed to create a pause in the conflict and open a
pathway for a negotiated settlement on Moscow's terms--and U.S. calls
for more `usable' nuclear weapons taken together make the world a
vastly more dangerous place.''
So what we would like to do here is simply have a report, again, from
the Secretary of Defense to lay out exactly what this is all about, why
it is important, and what it means for our principal deterrent force:
nuclear-armed submarines. That is what it is.
Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to this
amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes.
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Chair, I yield myself such time as I may
consume.
Mr. Chair, I strongly oppose this amendment. Three successive
Secretaries of Defense--Secretary Hagel, Secretary Carter, and
Secretary Mattis--have said that nuclear deterrence is DOD's ``highest
priority mission.''
In its 2018 Nuclear Posture Review, Secretary Mattis conducted a
clear-eyed assessment of nuclear threats. In the end, Secretary Mattis
concluded: ``We must look reality in the eye and see the world as it
is, not as we wish it to be.''
This stands in stark relief to the Obama administration's 2010
Nuclear Posture Review, which concluded: ``Russia is not an enemy and
is increasingly a partner.''
I will not list the many, many ways that this statement from 2010 is
so obviously wrong. I will just note that Russia has many thousands of
low-yield nuclear weapons, including nuclear artillery shells, nuclear
land mines, and nuclear torpedoes, and recently announced even more.
Russia regularly exercises them with its ``escalate to de-escalate''
doctrine, which they believe will force the U.S. to surrender early in
a conflict.
The NPR rightly states: ``Correcting this mistaken Russian perception
is a strategic imperative.''
Russia is not a partner, but a competitor, and we must shore up our
deterrence posture.
Let me briefly address the specifics of the gentleman's amendment.
First, previous NDAAs already line-item authorize funding for
individual warhead programs, regardless of the yield.
Second, in an April hearing, the Navy confirmed that having a low-
yield nuclear weapon does not increase risk to the submarine.
Finally, Secretary Mattis and General Hyten of STRATCOM have stated
that having this low-yield weapon does not increase the risk of
strategic miscalculation.
The bottom line here is that this amendment is designed simply to
slow down the long-overdue modernization and improvement of our nuclear
forces. Because of that, I have to urge my colleagues to vote ``no.''
Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Chair, may I inquire as to how much time I have
remaining.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from California has 1\3/4\ minutes
remaining.
Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Chair, I yield the balance of my time to the
gentleman from Washington (Mr. Smith), the ranking member of the full
committee.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I agree very strongly with my
colleague from the Armed Services Committee, Mr. Rogers, that we need a
strong nuclear deterrent. Russia is primarily the focus of that, but
not exclusively the focus of that. China has nuclear weapons, North
Korea has nuclear weapons, Iran aspires to have them. Without question,
we need a strong deterrent.
My argument is that we have one. We have over 4,000 nuclear weapons.
We do have some low-yield nuclear weapons. We don't have them in the
standoff capacity. But more than that, what we need to communicate to
Russia is not that nuclear war is something of degree; that, basically,
well, if you were to use a low-yield nuclear weapon, we wouldn't know
what to do because we don't have one that is equally as small. I think
that is the exact wrong approach.
Our approach should be that nuclear weapons are the red line to end
all red lines. There is no such thing as a tactical nuclear weapon.
Even these tactical nuclear weapons that the gentleman talks about
Russia having, I think are some 100 times more powerful than the bomb
dropped on Hiroshima.
What we need to communicate to Russia is: If you use a nuclear
weapon, we will respond with nuclear weapons. So don't.
We don't need to build small nuclear weapons so that military people
can start to imagine a survivable nuclear war. This is the way people
used to think in the sixties and seventies when we came tiptoeing up
very close on more than one occasion to stumbling in to the conflict to
end all conflicts, a nuclear war.
If we start buying in to Russia's philosophy that a low-yield nuclear
weapon is, like, a manageable thing that you can use in a combat
situation that doesn't necessarily lead to a broader nuclear weapon, we
are running the risk of creating the very thing we are trying to
prevent.
We need a deterrent. We have a deterrent. We should not mince words
with the Russians or anybody else. Nuclear weapons are red line. We
will respond. And we will not trouble ourselves to make sure that our
nuclear weapon isn't bigger than yours. We will deter them in that way,
rather than running the risk.
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the
gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Lamborn), my friend and colleague.
{time} 1930
Mr. LAMBORN. Mr. Chair, I thank the chairman of the subcommittee for
the great work he is doing on this.
We all agree that we want a strong nuclear deterrent, and we all
agree we want that deterrent to be as stabilizing as possible. We don't
want destabilizing trends. We all agree with that.
General John Hyten, Commander of U.S. Strategic Command, testified
before the House and said:
We require a mix of yields and improved platforms to
credibly deter the threats of the near future. The National
Posture Review directs near-term fielding of a low-yield SLBM
capability and, in the longer term, pursuit of a modern,
nuclear-armed, sea-launched cruise missile.
So the commander of U.S. Strategic Command says we do need this
option.
And let me also quote James Miller, Undersecretary of Defense for
Policy
[[Page H4562]]
under the Obama administration, the principal author of President
Obama's Nuclear Posture Review: ``Secretary of Defense James Mattis'
2018 Nuclear Posture Review offers continuity with past U.S. policy and
plans, including those in the 2010 NPR. It deserves broad bipartisan
support. Its proposal for a low-yield SLBM weapon and a new nuclear-
tipped, sea-launched cruise missile are sensible responses to changed
security conditions, especially Russia and North Korea.''
Well, things have changed since 2010. That is what the 2018 NPR
addresses. So, from both administrations, from both sides of the aisle,
we have agreement that we do need this low-yield option. That is a
stabilizing influence, to have more tools in the toolbox. When you have
fewer tools, you have fewer options, and that is destabilizing.
Mr. Chair, I ask for a rejection of this amendment.
Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Chair, I once again urge a ``no'' vote on
this amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentleman from California (Mr. Garamendi).
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 California
will be postponed.
Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I move that the Committee do now rise.
The motion was agreed to.
Accordingly, the Committee rose; and the Speaker pro tempore (Mr.
Lamborn) having assumed the chair, Mr. Johnson of Louisiana, 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. 5515) to authorize appropriations for fiscal year 2019 for
military activities of the Department of Defense and for military
construction, to prescribe military personnel strengths for such fiscal
year, and for other purposes, had come to no resolution thereon.
