        NATIONAL DEFENSE AUTHORIZATION ACT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2020


                             General Leave

  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that 
all Members may have 5 legislative days in which to revise and extend 
their remarks and insert extraneous material on H.R. 2500.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Washington?
  There was no objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 476 and rule 
XVIII, the Chair declares the House in the Committee of the Whole House 
on the state of the Union for the consideration of the bill, H.R. 2500.
  The Chair appoints the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Cuellar) to preside 
over the Committee of the Whole.

                              {time}  1702


                     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. 2500) to authorize appropriations for fiscal year 2020 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. Cuellar 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.
  General debate shall not exceed 1 hour equally divided and controlled 
by the chair and the ranking minority member of the Committee on Armed 
Services.
  The gentleman from Washington (Mr. Smith) and the gentleman from 
Texas (Mr. Thornberry) each will control 30 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Washington.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chair, I yield myself 5 minutes.
  Mr. Chair, this, as always, is an incredibly important piece of 
legislation. This is a piece of legislation by which we provide for the 
national security of this country, and every little bit, as 
importantly, we provide for the men and women who put their lives on 
the line to provide for the national security of this country.
  For 58 years, we have passed the National Defense Authorization Act. 
It is the one piece of legislation that has not failed to pass in that 
timeframe, and there is a very good reason for that: It is enormously 
important, and it is our opportunity to show those men and women who 
serve in the military that we support them, we support what they do, 
and we are going to make sure that they have all that they need to 
carry out the missions that we ask them to do.
  One of the reasons that we have always been able to be successful on 
this is because of the very strong bipartisan tradition of our 
committee. We have worked with various chairmen and ranking members 
across the aisle for all of those years and really made sure that we 
worked together, regardless of who was in the majority, to produce a 
product that we can be proud of--and we have.
  On that measure, as we have moved in the majority this year, my staff 
and I have worked very hard with the ranking member and with all the 
members of the committee and their staffs to maintain that bipartisan 
tradition.
  When we had the bill in committee, we had a large number of 
proposals, which I will read to you.
  There were 736 proposals from Republicans, 889 from Democrats. We put 
into our bill 53 percent of the Republican requests and 52 percent of 
the Democratic requests
  In amendments, there were more Democratic amendments in committee, 
266 to 248 for the Republicans, but, still, we accepted 57 percent of 
the Republican amendments.
  On the floor, there were a lot more amendments from Democrats, 480 to 
201, but, again, we accepted 50 percent of the Republican amendments.
  My staff and I and other members, personally, on a large number of 
issues, most notably on nuclear issues--Mr. Turner, who is the ranking 
member on the Subcommittee on Strategic Forces, was concerned that we 
weren't working together properly on a number of nuclear issues. There 
were 10 or 12 or more. I reached out to him. We worked together, and we 
resolved half of them, because that is what we do. This is a very 
strong bill that everybody on this floor should feel proud to vote for.
  Now, there are a couple of issues, but the biggest thing is remember 
what is in this bill. Once again, we give a very high pay raise to the 
men and women who serve, 3.1 percent pay raise.
  We have also, through the amendment process, included a priority that 
has over 300 cosponsors in the House, and that is   Joe Wilson's bill 
to finally eliminate the offset that cuts the amount of money that goes 
to widows of men and women who have passed away in the military. This 
is the bill to eliminate that offset. There is a lot in this bill that 
we can be proud of.
  Now, the issues that we have had disagreement on, I understand, but 
we always have disagreements. It is a large bill. I don't like 
everything in this bill. I don't think anybody does, but we cannot 
forget the central mission of this bill: to support the men and women 
who serve the military and to make sure that we have a strong national 
security.
  The number one issue is how much money we spend.
  Let me just say--and I think there is bipartisan agreement on this--
we need a budget caps deal. A continuing resolution is unacceptable.
  It is unacceptable for the entire discretionary budget, and it is 
certainly unacceptable for the Department of Defense, which can't 
simply keep doing what it has been doing. There are always programs 
they need to get rid of and new programs they need to create. We need 
to get a deal on that. But the number that we marked to, $733 billion, 
was the number that the Pentagon planned for for over a year.
  After we got the last budget deal to get $716 billion, the Pentagon 
planned on what their next year's budget would be, and the President 
and the Pentagon put together a $733 billion budget for over a year. 
But then, at the end of last year, the President felt that number was 
too high.
  By the way, I think I might agree with him. I think there are greater 
efficiencies to get out of the Pentagon.
  So he said it ought to be cut by 5 percent; it ought to be $700 
billion. A number of people protested that, went to the Pentagon and 
said: You can't cut it to 700.

[[Page H5338]]

  So the President said it can't be 733; it has got to be 700. And then 
he agreed to 750. That doesn't make a lot of sense. The 733 number is 
the number that we planned to.
  Now, I will agree that there is a robust debate that can be had about 
that: Should it be 750 or 733? I very strongly support the 733 number. 
I don't think giving the Pentagon an additional $17 billion at the last 
minute is fiscally responsible.
  I agree with the ranking member, who has said, in the years when we 
were cutting the defense budget by 20 percent, that wasn't responsible 
either. I think 733 is responsible, but I can hear arguments for the 
other side.
  What doesn't make sense is to say that, if you don't get 750, somehow 
733 is so bad that we have to vote against it. That simply doesn't make 
sense. 733 is the largest amount of money we have ever spent on the 
Pentagon. It more than funds our national security needs.
  I believe this is a very strong bill. We will debate many other 
issues. When we get done, I hope we can uphold that bipartisan 
tradition and show that we support national security and we support the 
men and women who are putting their lives on the line for our country.
  I reserve the balance of my time.

       Dear Chairman Smith: I am writing to you concerning H.R. 
     2500, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
     2020. There are certain provisions in the legislation which 
     fall within the Rule X jurisdiction of the Committee on House 
     Administration.
       In the interest of permitting your committee to proceed 
     expeditiously to floor consideration, the Committee is 
     willing to waive its right to sequential referral. This is 
     done with the understanding that the Committee on House 
     Administration's jurisdictional interests over this and 
     similar legislation are in no way diminished or altered. In 
     addition, the Committee reserves its right to seek conferees 
     on any provisions within its jurisdiction which are 
     considered in a House-Senate conference and requests your 
     support if such a request is made.
       I would appreciate your response confirming this 
     understanding with respect to H.R. 2500 and ask that a copy 
     of our exchange of letters on this matter be included in your 
     committee report on the bill and in the Congressional Record 
     during consideration of the bill on the House floor.

     fall within the jurisdiction of the Committee on Energy and 
     Commerce. In the interest of permitting your committee to 
     proceed expeditiously to floor consideration of this 
     important bill, the Committee will not request a sequential 
     referral and is waiving its right to said referral.
       The Committee takes this action with the understanding that 
     it is not waiving any jurisdictional claim over this and 
     similar legislation or the subject matters contained in the 
     bill, that it will be appropriately consulted and involved as 
     this legislation moves forward, and that its jurisdictional 
     interests over this and similar legislation are in no way 
     diminished or altered. I request that you urge the Speaker to 
     name members of this committee to any conference committee 
     that is named to consider such provisions. The Committee also 
     reserves the right to seek appointment to any House-Senate 
     conference on such legislation and requests your support in 
     the event the Committee makes such a request.
       Finally, I would appreciate a response to this letter 
     confirming this understanding and that you would place our 
     exchange of letters into the committee report on H.R. 2500 
     and the Congressional Record during consideration of the 
     measure on the House floor. Thank you for the cooperative 
     spirit in which you have worked with this committee regarding 
     this matter.

     Services does not waive any future jurisdictional claim over

     the Committee's Rule X jurisdiction. I also do so under the 
     mutual understanding that the Committee on Financial Services

     H.R. 2500, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
     Year 2020. There are certain provisions in the legislation 
     which fall within the Rule X jurisdiction of the Committee on

     expeditiously to floor consideration of this important bill, 
     I am willing to waive this committee's right to sequential 
     referral. I do so with the understanding that by waiving

     over the subject matters contained in the bill which fall 
     within its Rule X jurisdiction. I request that you urge the 
     Speaker to name members of this committee to any conference 
     committee which is named to consider such provisions.

                                                         Chairman,

  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may 
consume.
  Mr. Chairman, I first want to thank Chairman Smith and the members of 
the Armed Services Committee for the work they have put into developing 
this product over the course of the year. We have a number of new 
members on the committee, and I continue to be impressed with the 
seriousness with which they take their task, with the different 
insights based on their background and perspective. It has been very 
helpful.
  I also want to thank the staff. As you can tell, Mr. Chairman, from 
the size of the bill, as well as the number of amendments filed 
throughout the process, it is a big job, and a limited number of staff 
have worked very hard to get us to this point.
  I think maybe it is helpful to just step back for a second and talk 
about what this bill is about.
  The Preamble of the Constitution says that one of the reasons we have 
a government is to provide for the common defense, but Article I, 
Section 8 goes into specifics by putting the responsibility on 
Congress' shoulders to raise and support, provide and maintain the 
military forces for the United States.
  How well we do or do not do that job that the Constitution puts on us 
has real consequences. Literally, the life and death of the men and 
women who serve are at stake, as well as the security, the safety, and 
the well-being of men and women throughout the country. It is a 
significant responsibility, and, again, the Constitution says it is 
ours.
  Now, as the chairman noted, for 58 straight years, one of the ways we 
have fulfilled that responsibility under the Constitution has been to 
pass, and a President of both parties has signed, a National Defense 
Authorization Act. Fifty-eight straight years that has occurred. And 
most of that time, at least certainly in my experience over the last 25 
years, it has been done on a bipartisan basis.
  For example, in last year's bill, the committee reported the bill 
favorably by a vote of 60-1. The year before, it was 60-1. The year 
before that, it was 60-2. The year before that, it was 60-2. Last year, 
on final passage, the vote on this floor was 351-66. The year before 
that, it was 344-81.
  I could go on, but the point is, that there has been strong 
bipartisan support in fulfilling that essential responsibility under 
the Constitution.
  As you know, Mr. Chairman, this year is different. This year, the 
bill was reported out of committee by a vote of 33-24, and the reasons 
were serious, substantive disagreements with provisions that were in 
the bill.
  As the chairman, himself, said in, I believe, 2016: ``There is 
nothing shameful about making a legitimate policy choice to oppose the 
NDAA or any other bill. . . . Regardless of whether we support the NDAA 
or not, we all support the brave men and women of our military who 
defend the country.''
  I think the chairman was right then, and I think the statement is 
still true today.
  When the bill came out of committee, some of us had a hard time 
deciding whether to support it or not because there are many good 
elements in this bill. And it is absolutely true that, from the ground 
up, a number of Republicans, as well as Democrats, have worked together 
to contribute to this bill. My view was that there were some 
adjustments that could be made that would enable most Members to 
support it.
  Unfortunately, what has happened, as the bill now has come out of the 
Rules Committee, is, in my view, at least, unprecedented.
  First, the rule self-executes an amendment that has a number of 
serious issues. Now, a lot of them have serious support, but shouldn't 
they be on the floor so that we can talk about them, perhaps discuss 
offsets on some very challenging issues that we have grappled with over 
the years?
  But then when it comes to other amendments, I believe that of the 439 
made in order, 340 of them are Democratic-sponsored, 98 are Republican. 
That is not the way it has been before.
  Last year, more Democratic amendments were made in order on the floor 
than Republican amendments. The year before, it was just about exactly 
even. So we see the bill drifting in a particular direction.
  Most concerning, I think, in many respects, is, of the contested 
amendments--in other words, of those amendments about which there is a 
difference and there will be a debate and probably a vote--63 of them 
are sponsored by Democrats.

                              {time}  1715

  I believe there is just one sponsored by Republicans, Mr. Turner's on 
low yield. I don't believe there is another contested amendment that 
the rule has made in order.
  Now, the problem with that, Mr. Chairman, is there is virtually no 
opportunity to improve the bill.
  I think Chairman Smith made a very important point in the Rules 
Committee yesterday. He said it is with this bipartisan input and 
support, every step in the process that results in a better bill. And I 
think we have proven that time and time again.
  Unfortunately, that is not what we are seeing today.
  We have made a lot of progress in the last 2 years. As most Members 
know, starting in 2011, defense spending was cut in real terms about 20 
percent. Both Republicans and Democrats share responsibility for that, 
by the way. And both Democrats and Republicans share responsibility for 
making up about half of that amount in the last 2 years, but we haven't 
finished the job.
  As a matter of fact, a study in the Military Times earlier this year 
found that military aviation accidents have increased 40 percent over 
the past 5 years, but military aviation accident deaths hit a 6-year 
high in 2018.
  The point is, we made a good start at fixing our problems, but we 
have not finished the job. And that is part of the reason that some of 
us are so concerned about cutting the administration's request by $17 
billion, to fail to keep that momentum on fixing our readiness, on 
modernization, on research in key areas, all of the different 
categories in making sure that we continue to improve the situation for 
our troops.
  Mr. Chairman, there are a lot of good things in this bill, but they 
can't seem

[[Page H5343]]

to overcome the ways in which this bill takes steps backwards.
  I don't know. There are lots of things we could talk about. The 
bottom line, however, is there is only one thing that matters: does 
this bill adequately support our troops and American national security? 
There is really nothing else, no other criteria, that matters the way 
that that fundamental question does.
  I am concerned that this bill does not meet that standard. I know a 
number of my colleagues are concerned about that as well.
  We have hopes that at some point in the process, the bill will 
actually come closer to adequately supporting our troops and American 
national security, but it is not there yet. And I have concerns, given 
what the Rules Committee has done, that it will be hard to do so on 
this floor.
  Mr. Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chair, I yield myself such time as I may 
consume.
  Mr. Chair, I will just say quickly that I completely agree with the 
ranking member. The question is, does this bill adequately support our 
national security?
  I don't think that is even debatable. There is no question that at 
$733 billion, with all the bipartisan provisions that we put in there, 
this bill more than adequately supports our troops and supports our 
national security.
  That is why I think it is so wrong that even in committee, the 
Republicans have decided to oppose it. It does more than adequately 
support.
  Now, there are things we disagree with, certainly, but I totally 
agree with that formulation. If you believe this bill at least 
adequately, I think more than adequately, supports it, you ought to 
vote for it.
  The only comment I will make on the floor amendments is we submitted 
480 on the Democratic side, the Republicans submitted 201. So, yes, 
there are going to be more Democratic amendments, because we, I guess, 
are a little bit more prolific in that regard, but there is not a 
partisan effort in that.
  Mr. Chair, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. 
Norcross), the chairman of the Tactical Air and Land Forces 
Subcommittee.
  Mr. NORCROSS. Mr. Chair, I thank the chairman for yielding and 
certainly for the work that we have all done, particularly under his 
leadership, to bring this to the floor.
  Mr. Chair, this bill continues that long tradition of transparent and 
bipartisan work by the Tactical Air and Land Forces Subcommittee to 
support the development and delivery of capabilities that make 
America's land forces the best in the world.
  Mr. Chair, I would like to thank our subcommittee ranking member, 
Mrs. Hartzler, for her collaboration and contribution to the bill. Both 
she and her staff have been helpful during this entire process. It is 
certainly what works well here in Congress. And I appreciate her 
commitment to the bipartisan tradition we proudly uphold on our 
subcommittee.
  The subcommittee mark was adopted by unanimous voice vote, which is 
indicative of how important it was to both Democrats and Republicans, 
but most importantly, Americans.
  This cooperation helped us focus on what is important: that we 
deliver a defense authorization act that meets the modernization and 
readiness requirements of our Nation's air and land forces.
  The committee used the $733 billion as a top line based on sworn 
testimony from military officials, and the $733 billion is the amount 
that would give our forces a competitive advantage, based on the 
capabilities of Russia and China, by 2025.
  In fact, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dunford, 
said that $733 billion:

       Is completely informed by the analysis conducted by the 
     military, for the path of capability development.

  This goes to the heart of the conversation that we are having here: 
Are we doing what is right? Certainly the military spelled that out in 
the number that they provided for the research, development, and 
acquisition of modern defense systems recommended by our military 
leaders.
  At the same time, this bill includes bipartisan provisions that 
increase our oversight of the Department's largest, most complex, and 
expensive programs to protect the taxpayers, support our troops, and 
boost American industry.

  Overall, this is a thoughtful, carefully constructed bill that 
emphasizes aggressive, effective oversight for the development of our 
country.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the distinguished 
gentlewoman from Missouri (Mrs. Hartzler).
  Mrs. HARTZLER. Mr. Chairman, I rise to express concerns regarding 
H.R. 2500, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020, 
specifically the overall top-line budget for the Department of Defense 
that is outlined in the bill.
  Senior military commanders, including General Dunford and Secretary 
Mattis, have testified that a 3 to 5 percent real growth in the defense 
budget top line is the minimum necessary to maintain readiness recovery 
and our competitive edge over peer adversaries like Russia and China.
  Regrettably, this bill in its current form reduces the President's 
budget request by $17 billion to achieve an arbitrary lower top line.
  To reach this lower top line, many critical modernization and 
readiness programs had funding reduced that will slow our recovery 
efforts. These programs include hypersonic munition development, 
precision-guided munitions, the Air Force Next Generation Air Dominance 
program, and F-15C spares and repair parts.
  I am concerned that we are creating conditions that could prohibit 
the realization of the National Defense Strategy and impact our ability 
to project credible deterrence at a time when we need it most, given 
the evolving threats that we now face.
  Mr. Chair, as the ranking member of the Tactical Air and Land Forces 
Subcommittee, I would like to thank our subcommittee chairman,   Donald 
Norcross, for his leadership and his bipartisanship.
  From a policy perspective, I am pleased with the legislative outcomes 
the subcommittee was able to accomplish with this bill. For example, 
the bill rightfully recognizes the importance of fifth generation 
strike fighter capability and also supports growing fighter force 
structure capacity through strong support for both the F-15EX and the 
F-35 programs.
  The bill appropriately provides oversight on vehicle Active 
Protection Systems for combat and tactical vehicles and authorizes 
additional funding for these critically needed systems.
  The NDAA has always been a product of bipartisan consensus, and I 
hope that as we go forward with the floor process, we can reach that 
level of consensus again.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield 3 minutes to the 
gentleman from Rhode Island (Mr. Langevin), who is the chair of the 
Intelligence and Emerging Threats and Capabilities Subcommittee.
  Mr. LANGEVIN. Mr. Chair, I want to thank the gentleman for yielding.
  Today I rise in strong support of the fiscal year 2020 NDAA, and I 
would like to thank Chairman Smith for his work on this important 
legislation.
  I am particularly pleased with the provisions in the bill that were 
reported out of the Intelligence and Emerging Threats and Capabilities 
Subcommittee, which I chair.
  Mr. Chair, I want to also begin by thanking my subcommittee ranking 
member, Ms. Stefanik, for her contributions to this bill and her 
bipartisan partnership throughout the process.
  Befitting our focus on emerging capabilities, this bill provides for 
additional investments in cybersecurity as well as 5G technology, and 
additive manufacturing, and supports education programs to grow the 
STEM workforce.
  Recognizing the challenges of foreign intelligence services targeting 
academic institutions, the bill establishes a public-private 
partnership at the National Academies to address counterintelligence 
concerns, while maintaining an open and collaborative research 
environment.
  Provisions are included also to synchronize efforts and leverage best 
practices across the Department relating to network, industrial base, 
military installation, and weapon system cybersecurity. We strengthen 
oversight of military operations in cyber operations to ensure the 
administration's more assertive posture continues to promote stability 
in cyberspace.

[[Page H5344]]

  Several provisions in the bill also reflect my priority that Special 
Operations Forces remain a professional, agile, and ready force 
postured for high-end missions. In recognition, though, of the tragic 
three-fold increase of SOF suicides in 2018, the bill increases funding 
for suicide prevention. This bill also maintains a focus on 
professionalism and ethics of the force.
  The NDAA places significant emphasis on ensuring the Defense 
Intelligence Enterprise also is oriented to provide maximum support to 
Department requirements.
  The bill also requires more rigorous reporting on the progress of the 
Joint Artificial Intelligence Center and the technical achievements of 
Project Maven.
  Further, this legislation includes critical investments in our 
submarine fleet. I hail from the great State of Rhode Island, and we 
are deeply proud of our Nation's submarines, all of which start their 
journey being built at Quonset Point in my district. Thanks to the 
leadership of Congressman   Joe Courtney from Connecticut, this NDAA 
recognizes the unique contributions of our undersea vessels, and for 
the first time includes a third Virginia-class submarine.
  It also makes sustained investments in game-changing technologies, 
like electromagnetic railgun and directed energy weapon systems, 
positioning our warfighters to continue to dominate the battlefield for 
decades to come.
  Finally, the fiscal year 2020 NDAA makes measured investments that 
reflect both our many national security challenges and the fiscal 
realities that we face. It reflects the hard choices that our 
constituents demand on us when spending their tax dollars and it 
enhances congressional oversight to ensure those dollars are 
used wisely.

  Now, I have heard my colleagues across the aisle decry it as 
underfunding the military. Well, I fundamentally disagree.
  This is my 17th NDAA, and if this bill put our troops at risk, I 
would be the first to say so and I would not support it. It does not.
  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 Rhode Island (Mr. Langevin).
  Mr. LANGEVIN. Mr. Chair, our military is the finest in the world, but 
there must be accountability and the Department must live within its 
means.
  Mr. Chair, I commend Chairman Smith for striking an appropriate 
balance with this NDAA, and I urge my colleagues to support it.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the distinguished 
gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Wittman).
  Mr. WITTMAN. Mr. Chairman, I thank the ranking member for yielding.
  Mr. Chair, I have supported every National Defense Authorization Act 
since I arrived in Congress 11 years ago.
  Unfortunately, in its current form, I rise in opposition to H.R. 
2500, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020.
  This bill does a number of good things. Notably, it includes an 
authorization of 11 ships, it reaffirms congressional support for 
midlife refueling of the USS John C. Stennis, it robustly supports the 
merchant marine with the reauthorization of the Maritime Security 
Program, and it provides for a new tanker security program that our 
services need.
  In summary, the bill did a good job with the resources that were 
provided.
  However, due to the decrement of $15 billion from the President's 
budget request, the bill imposed the limitations on low-yield nuclear 
weapons, restrictions on the President's request to secure the border, 
and an entirely avoidable failure to adequately restrict the 9/11 
detainees. All of these issues led me to oppose final passage of the 
NDAA in committee.
  In the Seapower and Projection Forces Subcommittee, the reduction of 
$15 billion will lead to delay in the construction of the next Ford-
class aircraft carrier by 1 year, eliminate a replenishment ship, 
reduce the Navy's innovation by limiting development of unmanned 
surface vessels, and restrict critical development of anti-mine warfare 
programs.

                              {time}  1730

  Additionally, this top-line reduction limited our subcommittee's 
flexibility to address critical shortfalls in amphibious ships and 
weapons. Simply put, we can do better.
  While I am concerned about the entirety of this current bill, I am 
not concerned about the bipartisan nature of our subcommittee. I want 
to specifically thank Chairman Courtney and his team for their 
extraordinary effort and their leadership toward a bipartisan 
subcommittee mark. He did extraordinary work reaching across the aisle 
and getting everybody's thoughts and ideas about what should be in the 
subcommittee mark, something that should also be part of every 
continuing effort subsequently. I have no doubt in his support for our 
national security, and I appreciate his dedication and passion for this 
effort.
  In the end, I am hopeful that our amendment debate in the following 
days will serve to make our bill a stronger, bipartisan bill. But in 
its current form, I urge my colleagues to oppose final passage.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chair, I am pleased to yield 2 minutes 
to the gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. Cooper), chairman of the 
Subcommittee on Strategic Forces.
  Mr. COOPER. Mr. Chair, I thank the chairman for yielding.
  Mr. Chair, the Strategic Forces Subcommittee probably has the 
heaviest responsibility of any in Congress, or possibly in the world, 
because authorizing nuclear weapons affects the fate of the Nation and 
of the planet. I thank all of our subcommittee members and our 
wonderful staff for their hard work on this bill.
  The most important duty of our government is to defend the Nation, 
and the number one priority of the Defense Department is to make sure 
that we have safe, secure, reliable, and effective nuclear weapons. 
This subcommittee has a long tradition of bipartisanship on these vital 
issues.
  This bill upholds our commitment to maintaining a strong nuclear 
deterrent force. We owe it to our constituents, to our allies, and to 
the planet to strengthen and preserve the remarkable peace and 
prosperity that the world has known for the last 75 years.
  As an example, this bill funds the National Nuclear Security 
Administration at 4.3 percent over last year's appropriation, which 
also means a $608 million increase to the NNSA Weapons Activities 
programs.
  We take steps to reduce the risk of nuclear miscalculation. This bill 
denies President Trump's request for a new low-yield nuclear weapon for 
use on our nuclear submarines, a request that would undermine our 
security.
  The last 60 years of nuclear deterrent strategy were based, in large 
part, on the U.S. strategic nuclear submarine force, that most 
survivable leg of our triad, never being used for tactical nuclear 
weapons. Deploying another low-yield nuclear weapon, of which we have 
countless ones and other delivery systems, is not only unnecessary but 
a dangerous policy.
  We prioritize a production level of 30 plutonium pits a year and 
making this happen as soon as possible by 2026. This goal alone will be 
extremely challenging. We must set up NNSA for success.
  On arms control treaties, we continue to be challenged by the 
administration, which continues to try to upend treaties. This bill 
supports the Open Skies Treaty.
  Mr. Chair, I look forward to our colleagues supporting this important 
legislation.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chair, I am pleased to yield 2 minutes to the 
distinguished gentlewoman from New York (Ms. Stefanik).
  Ms. STEFANIK. Mr. Chair, I thank the ranking member for yielding.
  First, I thank my colleague and counterpart, Chairman  Jim Langevin, 
for his bipartisan work on this bill.
  As ranking member of the Subcommittee on Intelligence and Emerging 
Threats and Capabilities, I want to highlight some broad themes that I 
am supportive of in this bill.
  First, this bill is active in all areas of our subcommittee's 
jurisdiction. We continue our focus on emerging technologies, including 
manufacturing technologies that are fundamental to our advancements and 
scaling of

[[Page H5345]]

hypersonic weapons and directed energy. We also include an emphasis on 
basic research and the important contributions provided by universities 
and Department of Defense labs. And we enhanced capabilities and 
support for our Special Operations Forces, including additional funds 
for the Preservation of the Force and Families program.
  The bill also extends the National Security Commission on Artificial 
Intelligence, which is a provision I sponsored in section 1051 of last 
year's NDAA that created this Commission to advance the development of 
AI. The Commission's recommendations will help us maintain global 
leadership in AI research and prepare our citizens for an AI-enabled 
future.
  As a second broad theme, this bill continues the tradition of robust 
congressional oversight of sensitive military operations and 
activities, including cyber, counterterrorism, and intelligence. These 
are broad, bipartisan frameworks put in place several years ago by 
then-Chairman Mac Thornberry, as well as myself and subcommittee 
Chairman  Jim Langevin. I am pleased that we continue to advance these 
frameworks.
  As we move forward to debate and consider this NDAA, we should remind 
ourselves of our role in national security as a legislative body. It is 
our principal responsibility to protect our homeland and provide our 
men and women in uniform the tools and training they need to safely 
execute their dangerous missions on our behalf.
  I am very concerned about where our colleagues in the majority are 
taking this bill and whether we are fulfilling that duty. Despite 
Ranking Member Thornberry's hard work in committee to restore funding 
to $750 billion, this bill remains $15 billion short of 
the recommendations from former Secretaries of Defense, current Acting 
Secretaries of Defense, and senior military commanders.

  The CHAIR. The time of the gentlewoman has expired.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chair, I yield an additional 30 seconds to the 
gentlewoman from New York.
  Ms. STEFANIK. With the top-line of $735 billion, this bill would cut 
personnel accounts; limit programs that deter against great power 
competition, such as Russia and China; and severely regress all the 
efforts we have put in to recover readiness from the devastating blow 
of sequestration.
  While I support portions of this bill, and I supported this bill in 
committee, I am deeply concerned that it is moving in the wrong 
direction as this comes to the floor, that it fails to support the 
needs of our men and women in uniform, and that it does not reflect 
longstanding bipartisan tradition.
  Mr. Chair, I look forward to a full and fair debate on these issues, 
and I urge my colleagues to consider this lack of bipartisan support as 
they decide their vote on the final passage.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chair, I am pleased to yield 2 minutes 
to the gentleman from Connecticut (Mr. Courtney), the chairman of the 
Subcommittee on Seapower and Projection Forces.
  Mr. COURTNEY. Mr. Chair, I rise in strong support of the 2020 
National Defense Authorization Act.
  As chair of the Seapower and Projection Forces Subcommittee, I 
believe this bill invests in critical priorities for our Nation in a 
new era of great power competition.
  On seapower, we responsibly scrubbed the portions of the President's 
budget request under our jurisdiction and identified savings that allow 
us to smartly provide for the ships, aircraft, and capabilities our 
Nation needs.
  This bill authorizes a $22 billion shipbuilding budget to construct 
11 battle force ships, including three Virginia-class submarines, three 
Arleigh Burke destroyers, one frigate, one LPD amphibious ship, one T-
AO oiler, and two salvage and rescue ships.
  Also, this bill will statutorily reverse the administration's 
baffling decision to cancel refueling the carrier USS Harry S. Truman, 
which would have squandered $538 million of sunk costs already paid for 
by the American taxpayers.
  Additionally, on sealift, we translated the urgent testimony from 
leaders at MARAD into real action by legislating a long-term 
reauthorization of the Maritime Security Program, creating a new tanker 
security program to secure our military's fuel supply, and establishing 
a new-build domestic sealift vessel program.
  This bill also provides strong support for our projection forces, 
including the KC-46 tanker, the B-21 long-range bomber, and the B-52 
re-engining program.
  Outside of seapower, the full committee worked hard to improve 
quality of life for servicemembers and their families. I am pleased 
that my amendment at committee is included in this bill, which reverses 
last year's callous DOD order blocking longer term servicemembers' 
ability to transfer their GI Bill benefits to eligible dependents.
  This mark would not have been possible without the work of my friend 
and ranking member,  Rob Wittman; our subcommittee staff, Phil 
MacNaughton, Dave Sienicki, and Megan Handal; and all our subcommittee 
members, particularly our new members, and their contributions to this 
year's bill.
  Overall, I am confident that the bill we will vote on later this 
week, which had significant bipartisan input, will meet the pressing 
needs of the sea services and protection forces and provide a historic 
boost of quality of life that our All-Volunteer Force deserves. I 
strongly encourage my colleagues to support this legislation when it 
comes to a vote Friday.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chair, I am pleased to yield 2 minutes to the 
distinguished gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Lamborn).
  Mr. LAMBORN. Mr. Chair, I thank the ranking member for yielding and 
for his leadership.
  Mr. Chair, as we consider H.R. 2500, the 2020 National Defense 
Authorization Act, it is important to remember that this bill is about 
ensuring the men and women in our Armed Forces and their families that 
they have what they need to defend our great Nation. We have done well 
in some respects, but we have come up regrettably short in other areas 
vital to our military.
  I am proud of the bipartisan work the Readiness Subcommittee 
completed under the leadership of my friend, Chairman Garamendi. We 
funded all MILCON projects on the unfunded requirements lists, 
prohibited nondisclosure agreements in privatized military family 
housing, directed development of a tenants' bill of rights, directed 
TRANSCOM to do a business case analysis before awarding a global 
household goods contract, and took major steps to address fluorinated 
firefighting foams.
  This bill comes to the floor as we emerge from a dangerous readiness 
crisis. We have made big strides to rebuild readiness while also 
modernizing for near-peer competitors, but we cannot move backward now.
  Secretary Mattis and General Dunford said we needed 3 to 5 percent 
real growth to keep our competitive edge against Russia and China. By 
not supporting the $750 billion request, we are not maintaining that 
edge.
  The bill does not support strategic priorities such as hypersonic and 
low-yield weapons, and it fails to fund almost $1.5 billion in key 
readiness accounts. It also failed to fund a high-value detainee 
complex at Guantanamo Bay.
  For these reasons, I could not support final passage of the NDAA out 
of committee. I am hopeful that we can improve the bill in a bipartisan 
way through the amendment process. Failing that, I will urge my 
colleagues to vote against final passage.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chair, I am pleased to yield 2 minutes 
to the gentleman from California (Mr. Garamendi), the chairman of the 
Readiness Subcommittee.
  (Mr. GARAMENDI asked and was given permission to revise and extend 
his remarks.)
  Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Chair, I rise in support of this legislation. It 
is a good piece of legislation.
  I thank Chairman Smith; Ranking Member Thornberry; and my colleague, 
Mr. Lamborn, for working with our committee. We worked closely with 
members of the committee on and off to ensure that the bill addresses 
four priority areas affecting our military.
  First, we ask the question: Is the military ready for climate change? 
It is not. In the last 12 months, severe storms have devastated Marine 
Corps

[[Page H5346]]

Base Camp Lejeune, Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, Tyndall Air 
Force Base, and Offutt Air Force Base. This NDAA will accelerate and 
enhance readiness by requiring the Department of Defense to plan for 
and respond to the threat that climate change poses to military 
installations and operations.
  Second, the bill includes a number of bipartisan provisions aimed at 
addressing problems associated with the management and oversight of 
military housing for families.
  Third, the bill authorizes additional funding and includes bipartisan 
provisions to mitigate drinking water contamination resulting from 
fluorinated compounds used in military installations.
  Fourth, the bill continues to uphold the committee's responsibility 
to conduct oversight of, and provide support for, military training 
maintenance and infrastructure. For example, the mark authorizes $256.4 
billion, an $8.8 billion increase over fiscal year 2019 authorized 
levels, for operation and maintenance accounts. This includes an 
additional $834 million to address submarine and surface ship 
maintenance shortfalls and an additional $309 million for the Air Force 
weapon systems sustainment accounts. It also includes $11.5 billion for 
military construction, family housing, and implementation of previous 
Base Realignment and Closure activities.
  This includes $168 million above the budget request for construction 
projects associated with the European Deterrence Initiative and 
authorizes 31 additional programs.
  Mr. Chair, today I rise in support of the fiscal year 2020 National 
Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). I would like to start by thanking 
Chairman Smith and the House Armed Services Committee staff who have 
worked many long nights putting together this year's NDAA. The bill 
that is before the House is a good bill and I encourage my colleagues 
to support its passage.
  As the Chairman of the Readiness Subcommittee, I worked closely with 
members on and off the committee to ensure the bill addressed three 
priority areas affecting our military. First, the bill includes a 
number of bipartisan provisions aimed at addressing problems associated 
with the management and oversight of military family housing. The bill 
does the following:
  Requires the military services to establish a tenants' bill of rights 
for residents of privatized military family housing;
  Requires the Secretary of Defense to develop an assessment tool to 
identify and measure health and safety hazards in housing;
  Prohibits the use of non-disclosure agreements in connection with 
entering into, continuing, or terminating a lease for on-base military 
housing;
  Authorizes an additional $140.8 million to hire additional civilian 
personnel to improve oversight and management of military family 
housing; and
  Creates a public database for complaints related to military housing, 
requires annual financial audits of randomly selected privatized 
military family housing, and annual congressional reports on the 
condition, maintenance, and management of privatized military family 
housing.
  Second, the bill authorizes additional funding and includes 
bipartisan provisions to mitigate drinking water contamination 
resulting from fluorinated compounds around military installations:
  Prohibits the release of fluorinated firefighting foam (AFFF) at 
military installations except in cases of emergency response or in 
limited circumstances;
  Requires the Secretary of Navy to complete a new military 
specification by January 2025 for a fluorine free firefighting agent to 
be used at all DoD installations and a complete ban on fluorinated 
foams on military installations by September 2029, or sooner if 
possible;
  Authorizes the National Guard to access Defense Environmental 
Remediation Account funds, for five years, for the limited purpose of 
addressing Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) exposure and 
contamination;
  Prohibits the use of fluorinated AFFF in training exercises and 
encourages the Department to ensure adequate training for individuals 
in regular contact with AFFF about the potential dangers associated 
with PFAS;
  Requires a report on the Department's understanding of best-practices 
for cleanup and disposal of PFAS;
  Provides an additional $121.3 million in environmental restoration 
accounts for remediation activities related to perfluorinated chemicals 
in drinking water on or near military installations; and
  Authorizes DoD to provide fresh water and treatment of contaminated 
water for agricultural purposes adjacent to a military installation 
where water is contaminated due to military activities.
  Third, the bill contains a number of sensible provisions requiring 
the Department of Defense to plan for and respond to the threat that 
climate change poses to military installations and military operations:
  Requires DoD to develop installation master plans that assess current 
climate vulnerabilities and plan for mitigating the risks;
  Limits DoD's ability to spend planning and design funds until it 
initiates the process of amending the building standards for military 
construction to ensure that building practices and standards promote 
energy, climate, and cyber resilience at military installations;
  Requires all proposals for military construction projects to consider 
potential long-term changes in environmental conditions, and 
increasingly frequent extreme weather events, as well as, industry 
best-practices to withstand extreme weather events;
  Authorizes an additional $40 million for the Department's Energy 
Resilience and Conservation Investment Program; and
  Directs the Secretary of Defense to develop a climate vulnerability 
and risk assessment tool to assist in providing standardized risk 
calculations of climate-related impacts to military installations and 
capabilities.
  Further, the bill also includes important provisions to reform border 
deployment and ensure funding for our military is spent wisely and as 
Congress intended, and not on an unnecessary border wall:
  It prevents the President from diverting Defense funding to pay for 
an unnecessary border wall;
  Includes a blanket prohibition on funding for the construction of a 
wall, barrier, or fence along the southern land border;
  Prohibits reprogramming of funds into the counter drug account, which 
has been used by the Administration to do construction along the 
southern land border;
  Does not include the $7.2 billion requested by the Administration to 
backfill MILCON projects and/or forward fund portions of the wall;
  Modifies an authority the DoD uses when deploying active duty 
personnel to the border to require all support to be reimbursable and 
require a wavier that the deployment won't affect readiness, the 
support task aligns with the unit's mission, the task is inherently 
government and can't be contracted; and
  Amends the emergency construction authority (10 USC 2808) to limit 
the total cost of military construction projects undertaken during a 
national emergency to $500 million, with a further limit of $100 
million for construction projects within the United States and would 
add elements to required congressional notifications.
  In addition, the bill continues to uphold the committee's 
responsibility to conduct oversight of, and provide support for, 
military training, maintenance, and infrastructure. For example, the 
mark authorizes $256.4 billion, an $8.8 billion increase over fiscal 
year 2019 authorized levels, for operation and maintenance accounts. 
This includes an additional $834 million to address submarine and 
surface ship maintenance shortfalls and an additional $309 million for 
Air Force weapon systems sustainment accounts. The mark also included 
$11.5 billion for military construction, family housing, and 
implementation of previous Base Realignment and Closure activities. 
This includes $168.6 million above the budget request for construction 
projects associated with the European Deterrence Initiative and 
authorization for 31 additional construction projects valued at over $1 
billion, that were not included in the budget request, but that the 
committee were able to accelerate from the military departments' 
unfunded priority lists.
  Additionally, this year's NDAA funds important priorities at Travis 
and Beale Air Force Bases in my district. The military construction 
projects authorized in this bill will support the new KC-46 mission at 
Travis Air Force Base and will improve resilience and power supply at 
Beale Air Force Base, enabling it to continue to support intelligence, 
surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) and multidomain operations.
  I'm proud of the funding authorized by, and legislative provisions 
included in the Readiness mark. I believe the mark ensures Congress 
fulfills its oversight responsibilities, helps advance our military's 
near-term readiness goals, and drives the Department to plan for and 
take action against long-term threats.
  I'm also pleased this NDAA includes a 3.1 percent pay raise for our 
troops and includes the text of my bill, H.R. 2617, the Occupational 
and Environmental Transparency Health Act. This will require DoD to 
input any Occupational Environmental Health hazards exposure into 
servicemembers' records while deployed, so it is tracked throughout 
their career and into veteran status. It will also require the VA to 
retroactively update records based on information contained in the Burn 
Pit Registry, since many veterans' health records do not account for 
their exposures.

[[Page H5347]]

  Additional provisions I'm pleased are included in the fiscal year 
2020 NDAA are included below, many of which are related to the critical 
oversight the Strategic Forces Subcommittee is conducting over our 
nuclear weapons enterprise:
  Requires a report from the Secretary of Defense on military-to-
military dialogue with foreign countries to reduce the risk of 
miscalculation, unintended consequences, or accidents that could 
precipitate a nuclear war;
  Prohibits funding for the deployment of new, low-yield nuclear 
missile warheads;
  Clarifies the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board's authorities 
by providing prompt and unfettered access to defense nuclear facilities 
for independent nuclear oversight;
  Facilitates implementation of the Open Skies Treaty and prohibits 
funding for withdrawal unless Russia is in material breach or DoD and 
State provide a certification that withdrawal is in the best interest 
of national security and have consulted with U.S. allies;
  Increases funding for Nuclear Command, Control and Communications.
  Repeals the requirement to demonstrate plutonium pit production of at 
a rate of 80 pits per year by 2027, and instead prioritizes producing 
30 plutonium pits per year by 2026;
  Until the National Nuclear Security Administrator submits an analysis 
of alternatives with respect to replacing the ICBM W78 warhead, this 
bill cuts $103 million from the Ground-Based Strategic Deterrent, cuts 
$59 million from the related warhead, and fences remaining funding for 
the warhead;
  Requires an independent technical study of the W78 replacement and 
potential problems; and
  Repeals the conventional requirement for the Long Range Stand Off 
Weapon.
  I'm proud of the hard work that's been done to put together a strong 
National Defense Authorization Act this year, and I urge my colleagues 
to support the fiscal year 2020 NDAA.

                              {time}  1745

  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the distinguished 
gentleman from Mississippi (Mr. Kelly).
  Mr. KELLY of Mississippi. Mr. Chairman, I rise to express concerns 
with the FY20 NDAA in its current form.
  Specifically, I am concerned with the plan to cut $15 billion from 
the top line requested by the President and, more specifically, $1.2 
billion from the President's request for military personnel accounts.
  I spent 33 years in uniform serving the Nation but can't support this 
bill in its current form without changes to the amendment process. 
While it is true that personnel accounts have historically had money 
left over at the end of the year, several factors will likely make 
fiscal year 2020 different.
  Over the last few years, there have been funds left over associated 
with the transition to the new military-blended retirement system 
because fewer servicemembers are opting into the new retirement system 
than expected. However, the opt-in period ends this year, so there will 
be no leftover funds related to this in FY 2020.
  Also, in fiscal year 2019, the Army will likely fall short of its end 
strength goals by approximately 9,500 troops, which will result in 
excess funds for 2019 because fewer troops came into the Army. However, 
the Army is likely to meet their comparatively modest end strength goal 
of FY 2020, so there will likely be no excess funds relating to end 
strength.
  Finally, the 3.1 percent automatic pay raise and the proposed 
increase in total force end strength means that personnel costs will 
increase, not go down.
  In sum, there is likely to be no excess funding in the military 
personnel accounts in FY 2020.
  In addition, given the provisions in this bill that would greatly 
restrict reprogramming authority, I am concerned that, if personnel 
accounts are underfunded, the Department may not have sufficient 
transfer authority to reprogram funds to fix it.
  There are more important provisions in this bill, and I particularly 
want to thank Chairwoman Speier for her work in arriving at a 
bipartisan subcommittee mark. Specifically, the bill would provide 
important end strength increases and provide additional benefits for 
military spouses seeking employment.
  In closing, I want to thank Ranking Member Thornberry and Chairman 
Smith for their leadership. I am committed to continuing to work with 
my colleagues in a bipartisan manner to improve this bill which is so 
important for our troops and their families.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I 
may consume.
  I would simply note that, in last year's NDAA, when the Republicans 
were in charge, they cut $751 million from the personnel account, and 
then the President, 6 months after that, took another $1 billion out of 
the personnel account to fund his wall.
  So, in last year's NDAA, which all of them enthusiastically 
supported, the personnel account was cut by $1.7 billion. We do not 
simply rubber-stamp the President's request and never have. What we are 
doing this year is perfectly in keeping with past history.
  I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Speier), 
the chair of the Military Personnel Subcommittee.
  Ms. SPEIER. Mr. Chairman, I am proud to speak in support of this 
bipartisan bill that contains the priorities of both parties. And while 
it wasn't unanimous, it does nothing to change our responsibilities to 
give military members and families bipartisan support. We did that in 
the Military Personnel Subcommittee, and I thank Ranking Member Kelly 
for his work.
  This bill contains two landmark achievements for our servicemembers 
and their families. It institutes a comprehensive fix to the festering 
problem of the so-called widow's tax, ensuring that surviving widows or 
widowers won't have their DOD and VA benefits offset.
  I was once a widow. I know the pain and the emptiness. We must take 
care of the spouses who sacrifice so much for our Nation.
  This bill rectifies a grievous denial of rights to servicemembers who 
are victims of malpractice at military medical facilities by allowing 
Active-Duty servicemembers to sue the Department for malpractice. For 
more than a half century, those who put their lives on the line have 
had fewer legal rights to sue for malpractice than prisoners in Federal 
prisons.
  This bill moves the ball forward on other personnel priorities by 
funding a 3.1 percent pay raise; shortening childcare backlogs; 
improving sexual assault prevention and response, including at the 
service academies; promoting spousal employment; creating a housing 
ombudsman; and giving TRICARE beneficiaries the same contraception 
coverage benefits as all other Americans.
  The bill also provides a historic 12 weeks of family and medical 
leave to Federal employees and congressional staff.
  Mr. Chairman, we owe servicemembers and their families. We owe them 
this important set of benefits.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I am pleased to yield 2 minutes to the 
distinguished gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Turner).
  Mr. TURNER. Mr. Chairman, I am disappointed by the fiscal year 2020 
National Defense Authorization Act that is offered here on the floor 
today. This bill represents a significant deviation from our past 
sentiment of bipartisanship.
  Now, the Senate has passed their bill by 86 votes, but not the House, 
not this year. This bill, in its totality, makes us less safe, which is 
why it does not have bipartisan support on this floor.
  Chairman Smith said that we were able to negotiate through a few 
things, and that is right. But there are also some that we were not, 
and one of them is a big one, and it is why there is not one Republican 
who voted in the Subcommittee on Strategic Forces for the bill to come 
out of subcommittee, and not one Republican in the full committee voted 
for the Strategic Forces portion of this bill to be referred to the 
full committee and to this floor.
  That is because it contains a provision that can only be described as 
unilateral nuclear disarmament. It is unilateral because it does not 
involve anybody else; it only inhibits us. It is nuclear because it 
involves our nuclear weapons; and it is disarmament because it recalls 
a nuclear weapon.
  It prohibits the use of funds for the deployment of low-yield 
ballistic missile warheads that have already been funded and produced 
and are to be deployed on a bipartisan basis. Efforts by Congress to 
recall these assets from deployment is unilateral disarmament.
  Now, even if you are against nuclear weapons, you should be against 
the

[[Page H5348]]

other side having nuclear weapons, and that means that you should be 
pursuing restrictions by treaty.
  Imagine how this conversation is going to go in Moscow. Someone in 
the Kremlin is going to walk into Vladimir Putin's office, and they are 
going to say: Vlad, you have modernized our nuclear weapons. You have 
invaded our neighbors. You have threatened the U.S. and our adversaries 
and their allies. And now, the U.S. Congress has just voted to 
unilaterally pull the low-yield nuclear weapon that was scheduled for 
deployment.
  Putin is not going to believe them. He is going to think that this is 
a joke, because no one would believe that the United States Congress in 
the National Defense Authorization Act would reward Russian aggression 
in this bill by pursuing unilateral nuclear disarmament.
  I am comforted that many of these provisions will never become law. I 
never thought I would say this, but I am going to: Thank God for the 
Senate.
  I encourage my colleagues to oppose this bill and oppose unilateral 
nuclear disarmament.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I 
may consume.
  It is a unique way of looking at the world to describe a nation that 
has literally thousands of nuclear weapons as unilaterally disarming. I 
assure the public, we are not doing that.
  Mr. Chairman, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman from Maryland 
(Mr. Brown), a member of the committee.
  Mr. BROWN of Maryland. Mr. Chairman, I thank Chairman Smith for 
unprecedented bipartisanship in bringing this bill to the floor.
  This year's NDAA provides the strategic funding we need to maintain a 
robust military that can tackle our global challenges, reversing the 
President's soft stance on Russia by bolstering the European Deterrence 
Initiative with our NATO allies, and collaborating with our allies to 
contain North Korea and counter China's expansionist moves throughout 
the Indo-Pacific.
  It makes greater investments in training, equipping, and providing 
for our Armed Forces, funding a 3.1 percent pay raise for 
servicemembers, the largest in a decade.
  In this year's NDAA, we have the opportunity to increase research 
capacity for Historically Black Colleges and Universities. We empower 
the Department of Defense to identify the scope of white nationalism, 
extremism, and violent misogyny in the military, and we pursue a new 
diversity and inclusion strategy within the DOD to ensure minorities 
are more fully represented in our officer corps.
  We also rise to the challenge set forth before us and reverse some of 
the administration's worst policy decisions. We deny the increase of 
low-yield nuclear warheads that would lower the threshold for nuclear 
war. We prevent the President's use of the military as a piggy bank for 
his border wall.
  With additional amendments, we will allow transgender Americans to 
openly and honorably serve our country in uniform, and we will ensure 
that the President cannot put us on the path to war without 
congressional approval.
  It is clear that we will pass, perhaps, the most progressive and 
robust defense authorization in years, and I am proud to support it.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I am pleased to yield 1 minute to the 
gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Bergman), a general new to the committee, 
but not new to national security.
  Mr. BERGMAN. Mr. Chairman, I rise today with disappointment. What was 
once a bipartisan bill is now a vehicle for policies that hinder our 
readiness and our defense capabilities.
  For almost 60 years, the NDAA has been a bipartisan endeavor. The 
NDAA fulfills the number one role of Congress: to provide for our 
common defense. But House Democratic leadership has turned this into 
yet another partisan bill.
  Let me be clear. I support a pay raise for our troops. I support 
providing all warfighters with the best resources available and a 
National Defense Authorization Act that empowers America and our 
allies. But, unfortunately, this bill, in its current form, poses a 
significant threat to our ability to carry out the national defense 
strategy now and in the years ahead.
  As President Reagan often said of our national defense strategy, 
``Peace through strength.'' This bill does not--I repeat, does not--
show strength. We can and must do better.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I am pleased to yield 1\1/2\ 
minutes to the gentlewoman from Michigan (Ms. Slotkin), a member of the 
Armed Services Committee.
  Ms. SLOTKIN. Mr. Chairman, I rise in support of the NDAA.
  I want to thank Chairman Smith, the entire committee, Members on the 
other side of the aisle, and staff on the other side of the aisle.
  Funding our national defense is and should always be a bipartisan 
priority. We have created a bill that is strong on defense and stays 
true to our values as a country. This bill includes important 
provisions that all Americans can get behind:
  It funds our military at the highest levels in history and ensures 
the readiness of our forces;
  It includes a 3.1 percent pay raise for our servicemembers;
  It strengthens provisions to combat foreign information operations, 
protecting us from foreign adversaries that wish us harm;

  It enhances our military's resilience to climate change, which poses 
a growing threat to national security; and
  It ensures protections for military families.
  As a former Pentagon official, as an Army wife with a stepdaughter 
serving on Active Duty right now, I firmly believe that we have a 
solemn responsibility to our men and women to pass a bill that funds 
our military. Failure to do so, despite concerns about certain 
provisions, would be an abdication of that responsibility.
  This bill also funds priorities that are important to the economies 
and the safety of our local communities and our districts. I fought 
hard to include provisions that directly impact my community in 
Michigan and communities like ours across the country.
  The NDAA will reduce PFAS contamination by phasing out the 
firefighting foam with PFAS chemicals and ask the Pentagon to come up 
with a plan of action on how they plan to transition and clean up PFAS 
sites.
  This NDAA includes provisions that help States like Michigan 
capitalize on our unique capabilities in autos, cyber, robotics, and 
software to help fuel innovation at the Defense Department.
  I urge my colleagues to support this bill.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I am pleased to yield 1 minute to the 
gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. DesJarlais).
  Mr. DesJARLAIS. Mr. Chairman, I thank the ranking member for 
yielding.
  Mr. Chair, I rise to express my concern and frustration with this 
bill in its current form. While I appreciate the work done on this 
NDAA, the legislation simply doesn't provide our military men and women 
with the resources needed to adequately protect the homeland and could 
negatively impact facilities in and around the Fourth District of 
Tennessee, including Arnold Air Force Base, Redstone Arsenal, Oak Ridge 
National Laboratory, and the Y-12 National Security Complex.
  Whether it be refusing to deploy the W76-2 tactical nuclear weapon to 
deter Russian aggression or underprioritizing funding for research and 
development of next-generation capabilities, such as hypersonic weapons 
and directed energy, this NDAA does not adequately meet the 
requirements for addressing challenges posed from our adversaries.

                              {time}  1800

  Finally, this NDAA highlights my colleagues' continuing disregard for 
the national emergency occurring at our southern border. This bill 
prevents the DOD from playing a role in addressing the crisis. Our 
military's number one responsibility is to protect the homeland. If my 
Democratic colleagues refuse to provide funding for DHS to secure the 
border, then the military must have a role.
  Mr. Chairman, this bill, from its funding top line to its policy, 
does not support our military or our security appropriately. For that 
reason, I cannot support this bill, and I urge my colleagues to vote 
``no.''

[[Page H5349]]

  

  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the 
gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. Escobar), who is a member of the committee.
  Ms. ESCOBAR. Mr. Chairman, I am proud to have helped craft this 
year's National Defense Authorization Act. This fiscal year 2020 bill 
incorporates ideas from both sides of the aisle to deliver essential 
support and a pay raise to our deserving men and women in uniform.
  Our bill authorizes $733 billion to provide for a smart and robust 
national defense, enhances housing and financial support for military 
families, and addresses operational and budgetary threats posed by 
climate change.
  I was pleased to share with my Armed Services Committee colleagues 
the innovative work happening in districts like mine which are home to 
some of the military's core training installations. This includes Fort 
Bliss' leadership on net-zero energy and ongoing partnership with the 
VA that improves soldiers' medical expertise, while also serving our 
local veterans.
  I was proud to support our vibrant El Paso community by advancing a 
community infrastructure support program and ensuring promising 
technologies like additive manufacturing, and the unique contributions 
of our small businesses that always have a place in building our 
national defense.
  Finally, our bill enhances diversity and inclusion efforts in our 
armed services, improves oversight and accountability of DOD support to 
DHS and, yes, blocks the President from robbing finite military 
resources for a wall that our military never requested.
  This is a bill we can all be proud of. I look forward to casting my 
vote in support.
  Mr. Chairman, I thank the chairman for his leadership, and I urge my 
colleagues to support it as well.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the distinguished 
gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Mitchell).
  Mr. MITCHELL. Mr. Chairman, I thank Mr. Thornberry for yielding me 
time.
  It has been a pleasure to be on two committees that have historically 
been bipartisan, the House Armed Services and Transportation and 
Infrastructure. As was indicated, historically this has been a 
bipartisan bill. Last year it passed out of committee with one ``no'' 
vote. The Senate achieved it. It passed the Senate Armed Services 
Committee unanimously, and it passed the Senate 86-8.
  Yet, here we stand because, Mr. Chairman, bipartisanship is not 
simply counting percentages of amendments that were brought to the 
floor and passed.
  There are significant issues that we are not dealing with in this 
bill. While we give people an additional pay raise, a significant raise 
to military, we cut funding that impacts modernization, readiness and 
training, and cuts military funding $1.2 billion.
  Further, the bill neglects to address something that has had 
bipartisan support for a long period of time which is nuclear 
readiness, our nuclear triad. Here we take a hatchet to it as well.
  I stress that we must make a bipartisan effort to bring a bill to 
this floor that supports our military consistently and not have 
partisan politics take over our military. I support that, I reject this 
bill, and I urge my colleagues to do the same.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the 
distinguished gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Hoyer), who is the majority 
leader.
  Mr. HOYER. Congratulations, Chairman Smith, on bringing to the floor 
an excellent bill. I want to also congratulate Mr. Thornberry from 
Texas, a responsible Member of this Congress, a responsible member of 
the minority, and a person who has been a strong voice on behalf of 
national defense.
  Mr. Chairman, I rise in strong support of this year's defense 
authorization bill. It makes smart, strategic investments in our 
military to keep America safe and defend our interests overseas, and it 
reflects core values.
  We are proud to fund the Department of Defense. I have been in this 
body for some 38 years. I have supported every Defense bill. Now, when 
I say that, very frankly, we have had some political fights back and 
forth and there have been political votes cast where we thought that 
there were things being done that shouldn't be done. But I have 
supported a strong national defense. I supported most of Ronald 
Reagan's build-up which was, by the way, started by Jimmy Carter.
  I have supported making sure that we had weapons we needed and the 
personnel we needed.
  We are proud as Democrats to stand behind our men and women in 
uniform. As a matter of fact, some of the great victories of democracy 
have been led by people like Woodrow Wilson in World War I, Franklin 
Roosevelt in World War II, Harry Truman in Korea, and John Kennedy 
confronting communism and authoritarianism, the people who want to rule 
by armed might.
  This bill, the first written by a Democratic majority in 8 years, 
raises military pay by 3.1 percent and recognizes the contribution of 
our men and women in uniform. It supports a stronger military by 
prohibiting funding for discrimination against transgender, that denies 
us the talents and courageous service of patriotic Americans.
  Now, that has happened before, and Harry Truman stepped in and said 
that, no, we are not going to segregate our services. We are not going 
to discriminate against those of color in our services. He said that in 
the 1940s, post-World War. And there were some who said that would 
destroy our military effectiveness. They are saying the same thing 
about gays and transgender. They were wrong then; they are wrong now.

  This bill cuts $17 billion. The chairman, the ranking member, and I 
had discussions through the years. We need to make sure that we spend 
our money smartly and not just blindly spend money. We need to make 
sure that every dollar is spent effectively, but that our national 
security is not in any way undermined. I believe the savings that have 
been effected are focused and that we are taking that money and using 
it for effective items and taking it away from an expensive and 
ineffective wall on the southern border that the President wants to 
spend money on.
  It also acknowledges the serious national security challenges posed 
by climate change. Surely, we know how critical to our national 
security the effects of climate change are showing. We experienced that 
just the other day here in Washington, D.C.
  It requires the Pentagon to develop a plan, along with others in our 
government, as to how we can confront, effectively and on behalf of our 
national security, climate change.
  This bill also accelerates the closure--long overdue--it is not the 
American way to hold people without finding out whether they are, in 
fact, guilty or not. I have been to Guantanamo. Nobody in America ought 
to talk about how much it costs to incarcerate somebody in America, 
because it is about one-tenth or one-twentieth of what it is costing us 
in Guantanamo. You talk about fiscal responsibility.
  I am deeply disappointed that my Republican friends are bucking a 
long tradition. I did not like everything in your Defense bill. I 
disagreed sincerely with some of the provisions that you put in your 
Defense bill, and I voted for the Defense bills you offered on this 
floor because I thought they were in the best interests of our 
country--not perfect--but in the best interests of our country, of our 
military, and of our national security.
  I am sorry that that is not happening today or tomorrow or Friday 
when we vote on it. This bill ought to have bipartisan support. It 
ought to have bipartisan support for our military, and if the 
situations were reversed, my Republican colleagues would be accusing 
Democrats of not supporting our national security, not supporting our 
troops, not supporting the men and women who are put at the point of a 
spear, in harm's way, many paying the ultimate price. That is what you 
would have accused us of.
  How sad it is that some in this House are choosing loyalty to the 
President and their party over a common commitment to our troops--tough 
words, but I think true. Republicans object to this bill because they 
claim it does not meet their demands for $750 billion. Until March of 
this year, however, they were demanding exactly the number in this 
bill. Some on my side of the aisle

[[Page H5350]]

think this sum is too high. Mr. Smith, the Speaker, and I urged our 
colleagues to adopt this number because it was a bipartisan number--not 
the perfect number.
  More than 70 Republican Members out of your 194 wrote to the 
President citing the same number as their preferred figure for defense 
investment. That is the number the Pentagon used for the previous year 
around which it built its budget.
  That is what Joseph Dunford--Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, 
General Dunford, said was the number the Pentagon needed ``after 
scrubbing every account,'' $733 billion. That is the figure we included 
in this bill. That is the figure that you are prepared to vote against.
  Ranking Member Thornberry, who is my friend and whom I respect and 
whom I have just spoken of, penned an op-ed that President Trump must 
``move forward with the $733 billion budget he originally proposed for 
2020.''
  We took your number, and, yes, there are some things you don't agree 
with in this bill, but there were things we didn't agree with. Very 
frankly, there are very few bills that we consider on this floor that I 
agree with 100 percent. But we are a democratic body. We are a 
collective, collegial body, and we try to reach consensus.
  We took your number. We took the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of 
Staff's number. Indeed, at the same time that Republicans are arguing 
that $733 billion isn't enough, the White House is calling for a 
continuing resolution that spends far less. A former Member of this 
body originally suggested sequester which would devastate our national 
security and our domestic security.
  As Chairman Adam Smith has stated, to claim that $733 billion is an 
abdication of our responsibility to fund our troops is patently 
ridiculous and contrary to the representations that have been made on 
your side of the aisle.
  They claim this bill is partisan. That is absurd. The bill includes 
more than 53 percent of the amendments offered by Republican Members--a 
higher figure than Democratic amendments in the bill. Chairman Smith's 
staff worked tirelessly and collegially with Republicans for months to 
ensure that the defense authorization bill would be bipartisan as this 
legislation has been historically.
  Of course, there are provisions in this bill with which Republicans 
disagree. I would be shocked if that were not the case. There are 
probably going to be some provisions in there that I disagree with. 
That doesn't mean they should vote against this entire bill, however, 
Mr. Chairman. Democrats supported this bill when we were in the 
minority over the last 8 years--check the record--even when Republicans 
forced controversial measures into it because we believed it was 
important to support our military. We voted for it over serious 
objections on policy because we viewed it as a must-pass bill.
  Where has that bipartisanship on national security gone?
  Is it just a strategy to defeat this bill?
  I am convinced that we are going to have 218-plus Democrats vote for 
this bill, Mr. Chairman. I urge my Republican colleagues to reconsider 
their opposition and vote for their number and put country over party.
  To my Democratic colleagues, I say: This is a strong Defense bill, as 
good as you are going to get. It protects LGBT rights and advances 
family leave. It loosens the heinous restrictions on transferring 
prisoners from Guantanamo Bay. Opposing this bill means we will be 
stuck with a Senate version that omits these provisions.
  I thank Chairman Smith and members of the Armed Services Committee 
for their hard work, and I thank the ranking member. I congratulate you 
both on producing a very strong, very positive bill. You did that 
together.
  Do not abandon your work. I hope that it will pass with resounding 
support from both sides of the aisle. Our troops in harm's way deserve 
that affirmation, that trust, that faith, that commitment. Let's not 
let them down.
  The CHAIR. Members are reminded to address their remarks to the 
Chair.

                              {time}  1815

  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself 2 minutes.
  Mr. Chairman, I appreciate the remarks of the majority leader. I know 
from some personal experience it is certainly not easy to hold your 
side of the aisle and the other side of the aisle together to have the 
sort of votes like we had--351, 349, and so forth--to pass this bill.
  That is part of the reason I began my remarks by pointing out this is 
different. I am not sure that great Democrats of the past--Roosevelt, 
Truman, and Kennedy--would recognize this defense bill that is before 
us, much less the amendments that we see coming down the pike.
  I just want to emphasize two points, briefly:
  One, is we have lots of quotes being thrown around here about what 
General Dunford has said or what he has not said. I don't have his 
words from a transcript, but what I do have is Defense News, June 13, 
2017, where he says, directly: ``We now know that continued growth in 
the base budget of at least 3 percent above inflation is the floor 
necessary to preserve just the competitive advantage we have today, and 
we can't assume our adversaries will remain still.''
  Consistent testimony from Dunford, Mattis, Shanahan, et cetera, is 
that the floor is 3 percent, and I think statements to the contrary do 
not reflect his view.
  Secondly, the majority leader said something like: Loyalty to the 
President over loyalty to our troops.
  I want to quote back Chairman Smith's comments that I mentioned 
earlier, and expand a bit.
  Chairman Smith said, when he voted against the bill on the floor: 
``There is nothing shameful about making a legitimate policy choice to 
oppose the NDAA or any other bill. But it is hypocritical and the 
height of shameless partisan pandering for him''--and he was referring 
to Speaker Boehner--``to now claim that a vote against the NDAA is a 
vote against the troops. It is not. Regardless of whether you support 
the NDAA or not, we all support the brave men and women of the military 
who defend this country.''
  I think this side of the aisle, we have nothing to apologize for in 
our support of the troops and American national security. We want a 
better product, and I hope that at some point we will get it.
  Mr. Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chair, may I inquire as to how much time 
each side has remaining.
  The CHAIR. The gentleman from Washington has 5 minutes remaining. The 
gentleman from Texas has 3 \3/4\ quarter minutes remaining.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chair, I am the only remaining speaker 
at this point, and I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I am pleased to yield 1\1/2\ minutes to 
the distinguished gentleman from Florida (Mr. Waltz).
  Mr. WALTZ. Mr. Chairman, with 23 years of service as a Green Beret, 
as a special operator with tours in the White House and the Pentagon, I 
can assure my colleagues that my primary focus is the Floridians I 
represent and the troops downrange.
  There are many things that I support in this bill: support and 
greater benefits for Gold Star families--although some of those 
recently introduced are not fully funded; restricting additional 
contracting with the Maduro regime; fully authorizing the Navy's anti-
submarine warfare capability; and, of course, the emerging Space Corps.
  But I would describe this bill is, in many ways, necessary, but in a 
whole, not sufficient, particularly in seeking to close Guantanamo Bay 
without sufficient alternatives that previous administrations and 
Congresses have all, I think, sought to do in good faith; tying the 
President's hands in protecting the border and on Iran; and, of course, 
a wholly insufficient top line, as we have discussed here today, to 
deal with the global threat that remains on terrorism, to deal with 
China, to deal with Russia, Iran, North Korea, and other near-peer 
threats.
  Mr. Chairman, I hope this bill improves, sincerely, with amendments 
on the floor to be worthy of the men and women downrange defending this 
great country.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, may I inquire of the chairman if he has 
only one more speaker remaining.

[[Page H5351]]

  

  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I have one more speaker, and 
then I will be prepared to close.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chair, I yield myself the balance of my time.
  I would simply emphasize, as the gentleman from Florida just did, the 
strong desire of Members on this side of the aisle is to continue to 
work constructively with anyone who wants to work with us to help 
improve this bill so that it strengthens America's national security 
and does not take steps backwards in any critical area.
  As was pointed out earlier, the body across the Capitol was able to 
do that with a very strong vote of 86-8 just 2 weeks ago. I think that 
ought to be our model. I think that this bill, if it moves in that 
direction, will gain the support of a number of Members here.
  But it is the real substantive concerns about what is in this bill, 
as well as the lack of the ability to have amendments to improve the 
bill, that has so many Members on this side of the aisle concerned.
  Back to my original point: None of this to-ing and fro-ing matters. 
What matters is does it support our troops and improve America's 
national security. We may have different judgments, but that is the 
only criteria that matters. It is about them, and it is about the 
country, and that will continue to be our guiding standard.
  Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chair, I yield myself the balance of my 
time.
  Mr. Chair, I would start on a note of agreement. I stand by the 
comments I made in 2016: Voting against the defense bill doesn't mean 
you don't support the troops.
  Now, it is interesting, as we go back to the transcript from 2016, 
the number of folks on their side of the aisle who said the exact 
opposite, who rather passionately said we were betraying our country by 
not supporting the bill. I didn't agree with that then, and I don't 
agree with it now.
  But the only partisanship that is going on on this floor is coming 
100 percent from the Republican Party. I appreciate the gentleman's 
words, and I worked very well with him as the ranking member. I 
continue to work well with him. But on the statement about how the 
Republican side of the aisle stands ready to work with us to make this 
bill better, I have seen no evidence of that.
  Talking about amendments on the floor, the decision to oppose this 
bill was made in committee before we even got to the floor, and what we 
are hearing is a whole series of excuses for why they are opposing the 
bill.
  It is very simple and straightforward why they are opposing the bill: 
pure partisanship. They keep talking about the number of times the 
Democrats voted with them and how this is different, yet the difference 
is the Republican Party has decided that, if it is not their defense 
bill 100 percent, they will not vote for it, and then they will stand 
up and accuse us of being partisan.
  The reason I cite all of those numbers is that all of the outreach 
and effort we did to make this bill bipartisan, they did not reach 
back. This is pure partisanship: If we are in charge, they are not 
going to support it to try to make us look bad.
  And the to-ing and fro-ing matters, because that is what guts the 
bipartisanship. If they will not even try to work with us if they are 
not in charge, that is the definition of partisanship, and it 
jeopardizes 58 years of history.
  I am not going to give up; I am going to keep trying to reach out and 
keep trying to work with them. But, please, for those of you watching 
this, understand the only partisan thing going on here is, if the 
Republicans aren't in charge, they are not going to vote for it. And I 
will pick just a couple of examples.
  We heard that we have taken a hatchet to the nuclear budget, so I am 
sure you are wondering how much we have cut the nuclear budget by. 
Well, we have increased it by 4 percent. That is taking a hatchet to 
it?
  We are engaged, believe it or not, in unilateral disarmament on the 
floor of this House as we increase the amount of money that we spend on 
nuclear weapons by 4 percent, as we fully fund the B-21 bomber, the 
Columbia-class nuclear submarine, the LRSO, and the modernization of 
our nuclear weapons force. All of these arguments are nonsense.
  Going back to the personnel argument, they cut the personnel account 
by more than we did because they didn't agree with the President.
  All of these arguments are pure partisanship, and nothing drives this 
point home more clearly than the $733 billion.
  Now, I can't say it any better than the majority leader said it, but 
the quote from General Dunford in January of 2017. Well, if that is the 
case, why did Chairman Thornberry--I am sorry; that is the way I always 
think of him--write an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal in November of 
2018 insisting that we had to have $733 billion?
  If we had said $750 billion, they would be on the floor saying, ``Not 
enough. It has got to be $775 billion,'' because that is the 
partisanship.
  This is a really important policy point. These numbers also matter, 
because accountability at the Pentagon matters. I would submit to you 
that this bill doesn't just maintain the bipartisan tradition; with 
Democrats working on this bill, this bill is better for national 
security because we don't believe in sending a blank check to the 
Pentagon, and sending a blank check to the Pentagon is not in the best 
interest of our troops or our national security.
  Now, Mr. Thornberry is the best person working on reforming our 
procurement system to try and increase efficiency, and I support him in 
that effort. But if you try to reform a system and make it more 
efficient but then say, ``You know what,'' at the last minute, ``here 
is another $17 billion,'' the people are not going to get the message. 
They are going to say, ``Accountability? You don't want accountability. 
You are going to give us more money no matter what we do,'' which is 
what we have done for far too long.
  So, yes, we have accountability in this bill, but you have not heard 
a single good reason to oppose this, other than pure partisanship. And 
it is a brilliant way of doing things.
  As a friend of mine said a long time ago, when you are in an argument 
with someone who is unreasonable, it is hard not to sound unreasonable.
  It is brilliant. Just vote against the bill and say it is partisan; 
okay?
  Partisan is when you ignore the other side. And, my goodness, the 
people behind me, I mean, I have worked on it, but nobody has worked on 
it more than my staff and, frankly, the minority party staff. If you 
could see the hours that we spent working with Republicans to get to 
``good'' on a variety of different amendments, you would laugh out loud 
at the partisanship claim.
  And I think this is important. I think if the minority party, if the 
Republican Party, cannot work with us unless they are in charge, then 
we are not going to get to a bipartisan place.
  And again, we talk about how we cut the President's budget. It was 
the President who tweeted out in November that $733 billion was too 
much. That is what the President said.
  So as the majority leader said, we took your number, and after we 
took your number, you said we are being partisan. That is absurd.
  This is a good bill that protects our country. Every Member of this 
body should be proud to vote for it.
  Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time

     funding required to execute the program without cancellation.
       (C) The contract is a fixed-price type contract.
       (D) The proposed contract provides for production at not 
     less than minimum economic rates given the existing tooling 
     and facilities.

     SEC. 323. PROVISION OF UNCONTAMINATED WATER FOR AGRICULTURAL 
                   USE ON LAND CONTAMINATED BY PFOS AND PFOA USED 
                   ON MILITARY INSTALLATIONS.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (in this section referred 
     to as ``PFOS'') and perfluorooctanoic acid (in this section 
     referred to as ``PFOA'') are part of a class of man-made 
     chemicals that have been used in a variety of industrial and 
     consumer products to make the products resist heat, stains, 
     water, and grease. Because PFOS and PFOA extinguish petroleum 
     fires quickly, the Department of Defense and commercial 
     airports began using aqueous film forming foam containing 
     PFOS and PFOA in the 1970s.
       (2) PFOS and PFOA can accumulate and stay in the body for 
     long periods of time. Exposure to PFOS and PFOA may cause 
     health problems, including issues with the reproductive 
     system, liver and kidney damage, developmental issues in 
     children, and negatively impacted immune system, and cancer.
       (3) A common method of human exposure to PFOS and PFOA is 
     by consuming contaminated drinking water.
       (4) The Environmental Protection Agency issued lifetime 
     health advisories under the Safe Drinking Water Act for 
     individual or combined PFOS and PFOA concentrations at 70 
     parts per trillion in 2016, but has not yet issued any 
     guidance or regulation for groundwater or agricultural water.
       (5) The Department of Defense has provided mitigations in 
     many communities where drinking water has tested at or above 
     the lifetime health advisory level, including bottled water 
     and drinking water filtration systems. Due to the lack of 
     regulatory guidance, these mitigations have not been mirrored 
     in agricultural water systems.
       (6) As a result, farmers located adjacent to military 
     installations with PFOS and PFOA contamination that has 
     migrated off-installation are potentially impacted, and in at 
     least one case, such contamination has had a serious impact 
     on the livelihood of a dairy farmer.
       (b) Authority to Provide Uncontaminated Water for 
     Agricultural Purposes.--
       (1) In general.--If an area has been identified under 
     paragraph (2), and a military installation has been 
     determined to be the source of that contamination, the 
     Secretary of Defense or the Secretary concerned may provide, 
     for the purpose of producing agricultural products destined 
     for human consumption--
       (A) water sources uncontaminated with perfluoroalkyl and 
     polyfluoroalkyl substances, including PFOA and PFOS, or
       (B) treatment of contaminated waters.
       (2) Identification of areas.--An area identified under this 
     paragraph is an area for which the level of PFOA or PFOS 
     contamination--
       (A) is above the lifetime health advisory for contamination 
     for such compounds as issued by the Environmental Protection 
     Agency and printed in the Federal Register on May 25, 2016;
       (B) is at or above a regulatory standard set by the Food 
     and Drug Administration for PFOA and PFOS in raw agricultural 
     commodities and milk; or
       (C) is at or above a duly promulgated, non-discriminatory 
     standard promulgated by a State regulatory entity for PFOA 
     and PFOS in raw agricultural commodities and milk.
       (3) Source of funds.--Amounts used to carry out this 
     section shall be derived--
       (A) in the case of amounts made available by the Secretary 
     concerned, from amounts authorized to be appropriated for 
     Operation and Maintenance for the military department 
     concerned; or
       (B) in the case of amounts made available by the Secretary 
     of Defense, from amounts authorized to be appropriated for 
     Operation and Maintenance, Defense-wide.
       (c) Sense of Congress Regarding Land Acquisition.--It is 
     the sense of Congress that the Secretary concerned should 
     explore authorities under which the Secretary could acquire 
     land the land adjacent to military installations where the 
     owners of the land have experienced impacts to their 
     livelihood due to PFOS and PFOA contamination that has been 
     verified to have been caused by that installation, including 
     the authorities under sections 2663, 2864a, and 2869 of title 
     10, United States Code.

[[Page H5377]]

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) United States Military Entrance Processing Command 
     (``USMEPCOM'') operates 65 Military Entrance Processing 
     Stations (``MEPS'') dispersed throughout the 50 States and 
     Puerto Rico.
       (2) Applicants for accession into the Armed Forces must 
     travel to the closest MEPS to receive physical examinations, 
     are often driven by a military recruiter, and receive lodging 
     at a nearby hotel, paid for by the Armed Force represented by 
     that recruiter.
       (3) In 2015, USMEPCOM reported that 473,000 applicants from 
     the military and other agencies processed through the 65 
     MEPS, for a total of 931,000 MEPS visits.
       (4) Section 1703 of title 38, United States Code, 
     authorizes the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to enter into 
     contracts with private health care providers for physical 
     examinations.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     the Secretary of Defense should explore alternatives to 
     centralized accession physicals at MEPS, including conducting 
     physicals through community health care providers, in order 
     to reduce transportation costs, increase efficiency in 
     processing times, and free recruiters to focus on the core of 
     the recruiting mission.

       ``(d)(1) A superior convening authority or commanding 
     officer may withhold the authority of a subordinate convening 
     authority or officer to dispose of offenses in individual 
     cases, types of cases, or generally.
       ``(2) Except as provided in paragraph (1) or as otherwise

     SEC. 853. REVISED AUTHORITIES TO DEFEAT ADVERSARY EFFORTS TO 
                   COMPROMISE UNITED STATES DEFENSE CAPABILITIES.

       (a) Sense of Congress.--Congress finds that to 
     comprehensively address the supply chain vulnerabilities of 
     the Department of Defense, defense contractors must be 
     incentivized to prioritize security in a manner which exceeds 
     basic compliance with mitigation practices relating to 
     cybersecurity risk and supply chain security standards. 
     Defense contractors can no longer pass unknown risks on to 
     the Department of Defense but should be provided with the 
     tools to meet the needs of the Department with respect to 
     cybersecurity risk and supply chain security. Incentives for 
     defense contractors will help stimulate efforts within the 
     defense industrial base to minimize vulnerabilities in 
     hardware, software, and supply chain services. The Department 
     of Defense must develop policies and regulations that move 
     security from a cost that defense contractors seek to 
     minimize to a key consideration in the award of contracts, 
     equal in importance to cost, schedule, and performance.
       (b) Inclusion of Security as Primary Purpose for the 
     Department of Defense Acquisition.--
       (1) In general.--Not later than 180 days after the date of 
     the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall the 
     revise the statement of purpose in the Defense Federal

     the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 
     (Public Law 115-91; 131 Stat. 1449; U.S.C. 2302 note) to 
     include the security of goods acquired by the Department of 
     Defense as one of the primary objectives of Department of 
     Defense acquisition. The Secretary shall revise applicable 
     Department of Defense Instructions, regulations, and 
     directives to implement the inclusion of security as a 
     primary purpose of Department of Defense acquisition.
       (2) Congressional notification.--The Secretary shall submit 
     to the congressional defense committees--
       (A) not later than 60 days before issuing the revisions 
     described in paragraph (1), the proposed revisions; and
       (B) not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment 
     of this Act, recommendations for legislative action to 
     implement the revisions described in this subsection.
       (c) Certification of Risk.--
       (1) In general.--Before making a milestone decision with 
     respect to a major defense acquisition program (as defined 
     under section 2430 of title 10, United States Code), a major 
     automated information system, or major system (as defined 
     under section 2302d of title 10, United States Code), the 
     vice chief of the Armed Force concerned shall issue a written 
     assessment to the Vice Chief of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and 
     the head of the Defense Acquisition Board stating the 
     determination made by the vice chief of the armed force 
     concerned of the risk to the supply chain associated with the 
     procurement. Such assessment shall include--
       (A) a description of actions taken to mitigate potential 
     vulnerabilities associated with the procurement; and
       (B) a certification from the Secretary of the military 
     department concerned or the Vice Chief of the Joint Chief of 
     Staff (as appropriate) that the procurement will not 
     interfere with the operations of the military department 
     conducting the procurement.
       (2) Availability to the congressional defense committees.--
     Upon request, the vice chief of the Armed Force concerned 
     shall make available to the congressional defense committees 
     a certification required under paragraph (1), along with the 
     data on which such certification is based, not later than 15 
     days after the submission of a request.
       (d) Disputes Relating to Acquisitions Decisions.--The Under 
     Secretary of Defense for Intelligence, the Vice Chairman of 
     the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Vice Chief of Staff of the 
     Army, the Vice Chief of Naval Operations, the Vice Chief of 
     Staff of the Air Force, and the Assistant Commandant of the 
     Marine Corps shall each have the authority to submit to the 
     Secretary of Defense a written statement of dispute relating 
     to a decision made by the Defense Acquisition Board with

     subsection shall include any reason why the decision fails to 
     effectively address concerns regarding the item to be 
     acquired.

     prove payment or allowable status of nonpayment.

     prime contractor with a 15-day period in which the prime

     conditions exacerbated by age and the circumstances of their 
     cases.

     treatment related to complex ailments that may become 
     exacerbated with age.

     Bay, Cuba, is likely to become an increasing challenge for 
     the United States Government.

     functions and processes of the military commissions and

       (1) the United States has an ongoing obligation to provide 
     medical care to individuals detained at United States Naval 
     Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, meeting appropriate standards 
     of care; and
       (2) the Secretary of Defense should take into account the 
     standards of care provided at other relevant facilities, 
     including those administered by the Federal Bureau of 
     Prisons, in determining the policies of the Department of 
     Defense regarding the provision of medical care to

                   PESHMERGA FORCES OF THE KURDISTAN REGION OF 
                   IRAQ.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the United States led coalition and coalition enabled 
     partner forces, including Ministry of Peshmerga forces of the 
     Kurdistan Region of Iraq and Iraqi Security Forces (ISF), 
     have made significant gains in liberating all territory in 
     Iraq from Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) control and 
     disrupting ISIS safe havens and networks;
       (2) nevertheless, ISIS is regenerating key functions and 
     capabilities in Iraq, and ISIS elements will continue to 
     exist in Iraq for the foreseeable future;
       (3) ISIS will attempt to rebuild combat power through 
     clandestine networks providing sanctuary, and ISIS will 
     continue to attempt to conduct insurgent-type activities 
     while simultaneously recruiting and training fighters, 
     establishing facilitation networks, and attempting to remain 
     relevant in the information domain;
       (4) the Ministry of Peshmerga forces of the Kurdistan 
     Region of Iraq made significant contributions and sacrifices 
     in the United States-led campaign to degrade, dismantle, and 
     destroy ISIS; and
       (5) the Department of Defense and the Department of State 
     should continue to work with and support the non-partisan 
     forces of the Ministry of Peshmerga of the Kurdistan Region 
     of Iraq in order to continue to develop their capabilities, 
     promote security sector reforms, and enhance sustainability 
     and interoperability with the other elements of the Iraqi 
     security forces in order to provide for Iraq's lasting 
     security against terrorist threats.

     SEC. 1231. PROHIBITION ON THE USE OF FUNDS TO SUSPEND, 
                   TERMINATE, OR WITHDRAW THE UNITED STATES FROM 
                   THE OPEN SKIES TREATY.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) Since 1992, the United States has supported the Open 
     Skies Treaty with dedicated aircraft and observation mission 
     teams, conducting several hundred training and observation 
     missions with other countries.
       (2) This commitment by the United States has helped to 
     confirm and refine operational procedures, to improve 
     implementation and effectiveness of the Open Skies Treaty, 
     and provide United States leadership and engagement 
     opportunities that have supported broader objectives and 
     improved European transparency.
       (3) The Open Skies Treaty provides signatories with the 
     ability to gather information through aerial imaging on 
     military forces and activities of concern to them which 
     contributes to greater transparency and stability in the 
     Euro-Atlantic region, which benefits both the United States 
     and United States allies and partners.
       (4) In order to maximize United States benefits from the 
     Open Skies Treaty, the United States needs to recapitalize 
     and modernize its aircraft and sensors, and the ongoing work 
     to certify the Digital Visual Imaging System and the new 
     effort for the Open Skies Treaty Aircraft Recapitalization 
     (OSTAR) are critical to United States leadership and 
     involvement in the Treaty.
       (5) The current 1960s-era United States aircraft used with 
     respect to the Open Skies Treaty are ill-suited to extreme 
     operating environments in Russia and experience regular, 
     unplanned maintenance issues, often resulting in mission 
     delays or cancellations.
       (6) The OSTAR effort will provide a United States aircraft 
     capability that allows the United States to fully implement 
     the goals and objectives of the Open Skies Treaty.
       (7) The United States also demonstrated in December 2018, 
     along with United States allies of Canada, the United 
     Kingdom, France, Germany, and Romania, that Open Skies Treaty 
     mechanisms can be used during times of crisis.
       (8) Following Russia's unprovoked attack on Ukrainian 
     vessels near the Kerch Strait, the United States and United 
     States allies conducted an ``extraordinary'' Open Skies 
     Treaty observation mission over Ukraine to reaffirm 
     commitment to Ukraine.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the United States should forcefully address Russian 
     violations of its obligations under the Open Skies Treaty; 
     and
       (2) due to the significant benefits that observation 
     missions under the Open Skies Treaty provide to the United 
     States and United States allies, the United States should 
     commit to continued participation in the Treaty.
       (c) Prohibition.--
       (1) In general.--Except as provided in paragraph (2), none 
     of the funds authorized to be appropriated by this Act or 
     otherwise made available to the Department of Defense for

     action to suspend, terminate, or withdraw the United States 
     from the Open Skies Treaty.
       (2) Exception.--The prohibition in paragraph (1) shall not 
     apply if the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of State 
     jointly determine and certify to the congressional defense 
     committees, the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of 
     Representatives, and the Committee on Foreign Relations of 
     the Senate, that--
       (A) Russia is in material breach of its obligations under 
     the Open Skies Treaty and is not taking steps to return to 
     compliance with such obligations, and all other state parties 
     to the Open Skies Treaty concur in such determination of the 
     Secretaries; or
       (B) withdrawing from the Open Skies Treaty would be in the 
     best interests of United States national security and the 
     other state parties to the Open Skies Treaty have been 
     consulted with respect to such withdrawal.

                   EXISTING AGREEMENTS TO AVERT MISCALCULATION 
                   BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND RUSSIA.

       It is the sense of Congress that, in order to strengthen 
     the defense of United States and its allies and partners in 
     Europe and avert the risk of miscalculation and unintended 
     escalation that could lead to a broader and dangerous 
     military catastrophe, the Secretary of Defense and Secretary 
     of State, in consultation with the commander of United States 
     European Command and Assistant Secretary of State for 
     European and Eurasian Affairs, should--
       (1) pursue updating and modernizing the Agreement on the 
     prevention of incidents on and over the high seas (entered 
     into force with respect to the United States on May 25, 1972; 
     23 U.S.T. 1063);
       (2) explore additional options to reduce the risk of 
     accidents in the air; and
       (3) explore the possibility of updating the notifications 
     in the Vienna Document of the Organization for Security and 
     Cooperation in Europe with a view to reducing the risk that 
     the United States, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, or 
     Russia might misinterpret a military exercise, including 
     pursuing greater use of the Vienna Document's provision that 
     provides for voluntary hosting of visits that seek to dispel 
     possible concern regarding military activities.

     SEC. 1237. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON SUPPORT FOR GEORGIA.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) Georgia is a valued friend of the United States and has 
     repeatedly demonstrated its commitment to advancing the 
     mutual interests of both countries, including the deployment 
     of Georgian forces as part of the former International 
     Security Assistance Force (ISAF) and the current Resolute 
     Support Mission led by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization 
     (NATO) in Afghanistan and the Multi-National Force in Iraq.
       (2) The European Deterrence Initiative builds the 
     partnership capacity of Georgia so it can work more closely 
     with the United States and NATO, as well as provide for its 
     own defense.
       (3) In addition to the European Deterrence Initiative, 
     Georgia's participation in the NATO initiative Partnership 
     for Peace is paramount to interoperability with the United 
     States and NATO, and establishing a more peaceful environment 
     in the region.
       (4) Despite the losses suffered, as a NATO partner, Georgia 
     is committed to the Resolute Support Mission in Afghanistan 
     with the fourth-largest contingent on the ground.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--Congress--
       (1) reaffirms United States support for Georgia's 
     sovereignty and territorial integrity within its 
     internationally-recognized borders, and does not recognize 
     the independence of the Abkhazia and South Ossetia regions 
     currently occupied by the Russian Federation; and
       (2) supports continued cooperation between the United 
     States and Georgia and the efforts of the Government of 
     Georgia to provide for the defense of its people and 
     sovereign territory.

                   AND LITHUANIA.

       (1) The Baltic countries of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania 
     are highly valued allies of the United States, and they have 
     repeatedly demonstrated their commitment to advancing our 
     mutual interests as well as those of the NATO Alliance.
       (2) Operation Atlantic Resolve is a series of exercises and 
     coordinating efforts demonstrating the United States' 
     commitment to its European partners and allies, including the 
     Baltic countries of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, with the 
     shared goal of peace and stability in the region. Operation 
     Atlantic Resolve strengthens communication and understanding, 
     and is an

[[Page H5436]]

     important effort to deter Russian aggression in the region.
       (3) Through Operation Atlantic Resolve, the European 
     Deterrence Initiative undertakes exercises, training, and 
     rotational presence necessary to reassure and integrate our 
     allies, including the Baltic countries, into a common defense 
     framework.
       (4) All three Baltic countries contributed to the NATO-led 
     International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan, 
     sending troops and operating with few caveats. The Baltic 
     countries continue to commit resources and troops to the 
     Resolute Support Mission in Afghanistan.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--Congress--
       (1) reaffirms its support for the principle of collective 
     defense in Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty for our 
     NATO allies, including Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania;
       (2) supports the sovereignty, independence, territorial 
     integrity, and inviolability of Estonia, Latvia, and 
     Lithuania as well as their internationally recognized 
     borders, and expresses concerns over increasingly aggressive 
     military maneuvering by the Russian Federation near their 
     borders and airspace;
       (3) expresses concern over and condemns subversive and 
     destabilizing activities by the Russian Federation within the 
     Baltic countries; and
       (4) encourages the Administration to further enhance 
     defense cooperation efforts with Estonia, Latvia, and 
     Lithuania and supports the efforts of their Governments to 
     provide for the defense of their people and sovereign 
     territory.

     SEC. 1254. STATEMENT OF POLICY ON UNITED STATES MILITARY 
                   INVESTMENT IN EUROPE.

       It is the policy of the United States to develop, 
     implement, and sustain a credible deterrent against 
     aggression and long-term strategic competition by the 
     Government of Russia in order to enhance regional and global 
     security and stability, including by the following:
       (1) Increased United States presence in Europe, including 
     additional permanently stationed forces, continued rotational 
     deployments, increased pre-positioned military equipment, and 
     sufficient and necessary infrastructure additions and 
     improvements throughout Europe.
       (2) Planning regarding the United States military footprint 
     in Europe to recognize the essential role played by United 
     States allies and partners in establishing deterrence and 
     advancing regional and global security and stability.
       (3) Commitment to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization 
     (NATO) and its founding values and commitments by NATO allies 
     to the common defense, including NATO goals regarding defense 
     investments, and to NATO's founding principles of democracy, 
     individual liberty, and the rule of law.
       (4) Planning to ensure the United States military footprint 
     in Europe is holistic and geographically appropriate for a 
     comprehensive response to the challenges posed by the 
     Government of Russia across numerous European fronts.
       (5) Commitment to United States Government investment and 
     prioritization of efforts in Europe, particularly through 
     efforts led by the Department of State, to counter the 
     Government of Russia's global campaign to interfere in and 
     undermine democratic systems of government, elections, 
     values, and institutions, and disrupt United States alliances 
     and partnerships, through indirect action (such as 
     information operations intended to influence), including 
     robust information sharing and cooperation with partners and 
     allies to counter influence campaigns and sufficient cyber, 
     counter-messaging, and intelligence resources.
       (6) Planning to take into account the importance of 
     strategic stability, arms control, and strategic dialogue as 
     they contribute to United States national security, 
     collective defense, and regional and global security.
       (7) Encouraging increased communication by NATO officials, 
     to raise awareness of the Alliance's mission, efforts, and 
     concerns achieved by actively engaging with Congress and the 
     executive branch.

     of NATO allies and deterrence in Europe.
       (2) Poland has made significant contributions of forces to 
     United States and NATO-led military operations in 
     Afghanistan, Iraq, Kosovo, and countering the Islamic State

     and allies have helped to solidify and undergird the post-
     World War II international order and enhanced the United 
     States' security through common defense; and
       (3) the United States should pursue a long-term policy to 
     strengthen existing military-to-military relationships and 
     cooperation with partners and allies to achieve mutual 
     objectives, and build new relationships based on common 
     values and shared interests.

     SEC. 1267. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON ACQUISITION BY TURKEY OF 
                   PATRIOT SYSTEM.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) The Government of Turkey has indicated in a 
     communication to Congress that there remains an opportunity 
     to meet Turkey's requirement for an air and missile defense 
     capability through the acquisition of the Patriot system from 
     the United States.
       (2) The acquisition of the Patriot system could remove the 
     need to acquire the S-400 air and missile defense system from 
     Russia, which is incompatible with the integrated air and 
     missile defense system of the North Atlantic Treaty 
     Organization (NATO) and should preclude Turkey's 
     participation in the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) 
     consortium program with the United States.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--Congress--
       (1) supports the efforts of the United States Government to 
     achieve a satisfactory arrangement with Turkey by which 
     Turkey acquires the Patriot system to defend its airspace, 
     which would preserve Turkey as a production partner in the F-
     35 JSF consortium program;
       (2) encourages the Department of Defense to secure the 
     deployment of a Patriot system to Turkey, under United States 
     or NATO operational control, for the purpose of providing 
     Turkey with an interim capability to address urgent 
     vulnerabilities in Turkey's air and missile defense during 
     the period in which an agreement is reached for Turkey's 
     acquisition of the Patriot system; and
       (3) notes that any such deployment of the Patriot or a NATO 
     interoperable system in the interim is contingent on Turkey's 
     commitment to cancel the S-400 air and missile defense system 
     acquisition.

                   Subtitle H--Baltic Reassurance Act

     SEC. 1271. FINDINGS.

       Congress finds the following:
       (1) Russia seeks to diminish the North Atlantic Treaty 
     Organization (NATO) and recreate its sphere of influence in 
     Europe using coercion, intimidation, and outright aggression.
       (2) Deterring Russia from such aggression is vital for 
     transatlantic security.
       (3) The illegal occupation of Crimea by Russia and its 
     continued engagement of destabilizing and subversive 
     activities against independent and free states is of 
     increasing concern.
       (4) Russia also continues to disregard treaties, 
     international laws and rights to freedom of navigation, 
     territorial integrity, and sovereign international borders.
       (5) Russia's continued occupation of Georgian and Ukrainian 
     territories and the sustained military buildup in Russia's 
     Western Military District and Kaliningrad has threatened 
     continental peace and stability.
       (6) The Baltic countries of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania 
     are particularly vulnerable to an increasingly aggressive and 
     subversive Russia.
       (7) In a declaration to celebrate 100 years of independence 
     of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania issued on April 3, 2018, 
     the Trump Administration reaffirmed United States commitments 
     to these Baltic countries to ``improve military readiness and 
     capabilities through sustained security assistance'' and 
     ``explore new ideas and opportunities, including air defense, 
     bilaterally and in NATO, to enhance deterrence across the 
     region''.
       (8) These highly valued NATO allies of the United States 
     have repeatedly demonstrated their commitment to advancing 
     mutual interests as well as those of the NATO alliance.
       (9) The Baltic countries also continue to participate in 
     United States-led exercises to further promote coordination, 
     cooperation, and interoperability among allies and partner 
     countries, and continue to demonstrate their reliability and 
     commitment to provide for their own defense.
       (10) Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia each hosts a respected 
     NATO Center of Excellence that provides expertise to educate 
     and promote NATO allies and partners in areas of vital 
     interest to the alliance.
       (11) United States support and commitment to allies across 
     Europe has been a lynchpin for peace and security on the 
     continent for over 70 years.

     SEC. 1272. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

       It is the sense of Congress as follows:
       (1) The United States is committed to the security of the 
     Baltic countries and should strengthen cooperation and 
     support capacity-building initiatives aimed at improving the 
     defense and security of such countries.
       (2) The United States should lead a multilateral effort to 
     develop a strategy to deepen joint capabilities with 
     Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, NATO allies, and other regional 
     partners, to deter against aggression from Russia in the 
     Baltic region, specifically in areas that would strengthen 
     interoperability, joint capabilities, and military readiness 
     necessary for Baltic countries to strengthen their national 
     resilience.
       (3) The United States should explore the feasibility of 
     providing additional air and missile defense systems in the 
     Baltic region, including through leveraging cost-sharing 
     mechanisms and multilateral deployment with NATO allies to 
     reduce financial burdens on host countries.

     SEC. 1273. DEFENSE ASSESSMENT.

       (a) In General.--Not later than 1 year after the date of 
     the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense and the 
     Secretary of State shall jointly conduct a comprehensive,

       (1) provides an assessment of past and current initiatives 
     to improve the efficiency, effectiveness, readiness and 
     interoperability of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia's national 
     defense capabilities; and
       (2) assesses the manner in which to meet those objectives, 
     including future resource requirements and recommendations, 
     by undertaking activities in the following areas:
       (A) Activities to increase the rotational and forward 
     presence, improve the capabilities, and enhance the posture 
     and response readiness of the United States or forces of NATO 
     in the Baltic region.
       (B) Activities to improve air defense systems, including 
     modern air-surveillance capabilities.
       (C) Activities to improve counter-unmanned aerial system

     reconnaissance capabilities.
       (F) Activities to enhance maritime domain awareness.

     electronic warfare capabilities.
       (J) Bilateral and multilateral training and exercises.

     Secretary of State jointly shall submit to the appropriate 
     congressional committees a report, which shall be submitted 
     in unclassified form but may include a classified annex, that 
     includes each of the following:
       (1) A report on the findings of the assessment conducted 
     pursuant to subsection (a).
       (2) A list of any recommendations resulting from such 
     assessment.
       (3) An assessment of the resource requirements to achieve 
     the objectives described in subsection (a)(1) with respect to 
     the national defense capability of Baltic countries, 
     including potential investments by host countries.
       (4) A plan for the United States to use appropriate 
     security cooperation authorities or other authorities to--
       (A) facilitate relevant recommendations included in the

       (1) White Sands National Monument was established on 
     January 18, 1933, by President Herbert Hoover pursuant to the 
     Antiquities Act of 1906 (now chapter 3203 of title 54, United 
     States Code).
       (2) President Hoover proclaimed that the Monument was 
     established ``for the preservation of the white sands and 
     additional features of scenic, scientific, and educational 
     interest''.
       (3) The Monument was expanded by Presidents Roosevelt, 
     Eisenhower, Carter, and Clinton in 1934, 1942, 1953, 1978, 
     and 1996, respectively.
       (4) The Monument contains a substantially more diverse set 
     of nationally significant historical, archaeological, 
     scientific, and natural resources than were known of at the 
     time the Monument was established, including a number of 
     recent discoveries.
       (5) The Monument is recognized as a major unit of the 
     National Park System with extraordinary values enjoyed by 
     more visitors each year since 1995 than any other unit in the

       (6) The Monument contributes significantly to the local 
     economy by attracting tourists.
       (7) Designation of the Monument as a national park would 
     increase public recognition of the diverse array of 
     nationally significant resources at the Monument and 
     visitation to the unit.

           Amendment No. 1 Offered by Mr. Smith of Washington

  The CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 1 printed in 
part B of House Report 116-143.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.
  The CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       Page 696, line 8, strike ``Secretary of Defense'' and 
     insert ``Director of National Intelligence''.
       Page 697, line 4, strike ``Secretary'' and insert 
     ``Director''.

  The CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 476, the gentleman from 
Washington (Mr. Smith) and a Member opposed each will control 5 
minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Washington.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chair, I yield myself 2 minutes.
  This is an amendment that was actually adopted at the committee 
level, but there was a technical problem with it which we couldn't get 
corrected by UC, so we are re-debating it on the House floor. I think 
it is appropriate.
  Last year, the Trump administration decided to stop reporting on 
civilian casualties that were caused by our raids. This amendment 
reinstates that and requires the Director of National Intelligence to 
report to us on civilian casualties that have resulted in raids that we 
have done outside of existing combat zones.
  We are engaged in many military operations, which we have read about, 
in places like Somalia, Libya, and Yemen. We think it is appropriate to 
keep statistics on how effective those raids have been, and one of 
those measures of effectiveness is the number of civilian casualties 
that are included in that.
  That is what this amendment does. We have gotten the support of the 
chairman of the Intelligence Committee, Mr. Schiff, to do this for both 
DOD operations and intelligence operations.
  I think it is an important transparency measure that will help us 
better understand the effects of our military policy.
  And, I guess, the final thing I would say on this is it is part of an 
underlying theme. One of the other things that the minority party 
doesn't like about our bill is that, again, we want to hold the 
Pentagon accountable. We think Congress actually has a role in defense 
policy and we shouldn't simply turn it over to the Pentagon.
  For us to know what is going on with this will inform our decisions 
as we attempt to exercise legitimate and effective oversight of 
Pentagon operations.
  Mr. Chair, I urge adoption of the amendment, and I reserve the 
balance of my time.
  Ms. STEFANIK. Mr. Chair, I rise in opposition to the amendment.
  The CHAIR. The gentlewoman from New York is recognized for 5 minutes.
  Ms. STEFANIK. Mr. Chair, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Mr. Chair, I rise in opposition to this amendment. First, I know the 
majority feels this is just a technical fix to an administrative error, 
but it raises an important issue, again, for us to discuss now on the 
House floor, and we should debate the merits of the underlying 
provision.
  First of all, the Secretary of Defense is already charged with 
compiling this information, and we have already put in place a full and 
transparent oversight framework with publicly available reporting.
  As we debated in committee, the DNI is not the place to conduct such 
a review and report. We need the intelligence community focused on 
gathering and analyzing intelligence that is vital to our national 
security.
  So, pulling our national-level intelligence staff and resources away 
from those important missions to conduct a review that is already 
taking place--done by the DOD--is a poor use of resources and is just 
bad policy.
  I can say this, as one of the few members on the Intel Committee and 
HASC: The place we should be debating this is the Intelligence 
Authorization Act, not the National Defense Authorization Act.
  So, there are jurisdictional issues here, which is one of the reasons 
why I am opposed to this amendment.
  Mr. Chair, I urge my colleagues to vote ``no,'' and I reserve the 
balance of my time.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chair, I would simply say that there are 
reporting requirements; there are not comprehensive reporting 
requirements. And that is the purpose of this amendment, to make sure 
we report everything and so that we have all of the information that is 
available to us.
  And, I guess, to a certain extent, if the opposition feels like it is 
already being done, then why not do it effectively and efficiently. 
Regrettably, DOD is not in charge of all of the operations involved 
here.
  The Director of National Intelligence would take into account 
everything we are doing and make sure that we have an accurate picture 
of that.
  Again, I urge support, and I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. STEFANIK. Mr. Chair, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Ohio 
(Mr. Wenstrup).
  Mr. WENSTRUP. Mr. Chair, I rise in opposition to this amendment.

[[Page H5534]]

  I have had the pleasure of serving with Ms. Stefanik on the House 
Intelligence Committee, and I couldn't agree more with the points she 
has made.
  As a veteran and as a member of the House Armed Services Committee 
for the previous three terms and a member of the House Intelligence 
Committee, I am familiar with the U.S. military as well as with the 
intelligence community.
  This amendment, if adopted, would require the Director of National 
Intelligence, not the Secretary of Defense, to submit a report to 
Congress regarding strikes taken against terrorists outside of areas of 
active hostilities, as well as an assessment of combatant and 
noncombatant deaths.
  This amendment is problematic for several reasons. First, there 
already exists transparent oversight mechanisms with respect to 
civilian casualties, and that report is fully available to the public.
  Requiring the DNI to conduct a review already completed by the 
Secretary of Defense is not only wasteful but demonstrates a gross 
disregard for the DNI's time that should be spent overseeing the 
intelligence community's efforts against U.S. adversaries.
  Further, this amendment circumvents the normal legislative process 
and completely bypassed the House Intelligence Committee.
  Tasking the office of the Director of National Intelligence, an 
organization over which House Intelligence has oversight 
responsibilities, requires consultation with the House Intelligence 
Committee. However, we were not given the opportunity to weigh in on 
this amendment until now.
  At the eleventh hour, various cosponsors of this amendment performed 
a sly bait-and-switch, changing what was voted on by the Armed Services 
Committee and inserting an organization solely within the House 
Intelligence's jurisdiction. To say am I disappointed with that is an 
understatement.
  This amendment is irresponsible and reflects a disregard for the 
House Intelligence Committee's equities in this debate.
  It failed to navigate the proper jurisdiction process and takes time 
and resources away from critical national security missions.
  So, I understand the desire of this type of well-meaning legislation; 
however, committees of jurisdiction exist for a reason, and I am 
surprised that various members of the House Intelligence Committee 
would flagrantly disregard the implications of ceding our jurisdiction 
on this matter.
  Mr. Chair, I urge my colleagues to vote ``no'' on this amendment.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chair, I yield myself the balance of my 
time.
  Just a couple of quick points: First of all, we did not bypass the 
committee of jurisdiction. We were in constant consultation with the 
Intelligence Committee, with their staff, and we had that conversation 
and worked with them to get this result.
  We did not bypass them. In fact, we got a waiver from the 
Intelligence Committee to have this amendment before our committee.
  Our committee takes jurisdiction that this bill has a number of 
provisions in it, including one on which I worked very closely with the 
gentlewoman from New York, that has jurisdiction within the 
intelligence community. We include in this bill items that have their 
jurisdiction, but we worked with them and in careful consultation.
  I really don't think it is a lot to ask of our national intelligence 
to look at the very important issue of how our military action, 
regardless of who is doing it, impacting casualties, both civilian and 
otherwise.
  That is all this amendment does. I think that it is something that we 
should be doing, regardless, and it is information that will be 
valuable to this House.
  Mr. Chair, I would urge adoption of this amendment, and I yield back 
the balance of my time.
  Ms. STEFANIK. Mr. Chair, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman from 
Nebraska (Mr. Bacon).
  Mr. BACON. Mr. Chair, I rise today opposing amendment 546 that would 
use the NDAA to task the Director of National Intelligence reporting 
rules for civilian casualties.
  As Chairman Smith knows and, also, Ms. Stefanik and the ranking 
member, though I voted for the NDAA in markup, I opposed this amendment 
then, and I still do.
  The long story short is that this tasking should be in the 
Intelligence Authorization Act and not in the Defense Authorization 
Act.
  This tasks the Director of National Intelligence, and, thus, it 
should be handled by the Intelligence Committee and in the intelligence 
authorization bill.
  We believe in transparency. We believe in doing all we can to 
minimize civilian casualties. We believe in proportionality. We believe 
in knowing if we are targeting and handling these operations correctly.
  I know from my experience working three decades in the Air Force that 
our military goes through extensive vetting, extensive legal reviews, 
and extensive crosschecks before putting a weapon on a target that 
could threaten civilians.
  But let's be clear: DOD has a full and transparent oversight 
framework in place for DOD and U.S. military operations.
  The FY18 NDAA established a robust civilian casualty reporting 
mechanism for the U.S. military, and the DOD reporting is fully 
available to the public.
  Even more, there are two additional provisions in this bill that 
increase the level of CIVCAS reporting and directs an independent 
assessment of DOD's reporting and policy.
  But, what is important here: This is about DOD and military 
operations, not the intelligence operations. It is not the DOD's role 
to report on the intelligence community.
  It is not the role of the NDAA to task the intelligence community.
  I recommend voting against this amendment. We should send it to the 
Intelligence Committee and let them do it the right way, if the 
Intelligence Committee wants to take it on.
  Ms. STEFANIK. Mr. Chair, I yield 30 seconds to the gentleman from 
Florida (Mr. Waltz).
  Mr. WALTZ. Mr. Chair, there is a distinct difference between 
oversight and unnecessary micromanagement.
  Protection of civilians is a fundamental part of military operations.
  DOD standards and policies are some of the most stringent in the 
world. No force in history has been more committed to limiting harm to 
civilians than the U.S. military.
  As a special operator who has had to make these decisions, we need to 
be very careful of secondary effects of these types of reports, from 
putting soldiers unnecessarily in harm's way, to pilots being overly 
cautious to provide close air support, to terrorists living another day 
to kill more civilians, ironically, because of this overreach and 
overcaution.
  Our policies and procedures are sufficient.
  Mr. Chair, I urge my colleagues to vote against this amendment.
  Ms. STEFANIK. Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
  The CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman 
from Washington (Mr. Smith).
  The question was taken; and the Chair announced that the ayes 
appeared to have it.
  Ms. STEFANIK. Mr. Chair, I demand a recorded vote.
  The CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on 
the amendment offered by the gentleman from Washington will be 
postponed.

     SEC. 1283. GUIDANCE RELATING TO THE MINING SECTOR OF BURMA.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) In 2015, the nongovernmental organization Global 
     Witness estimated that the value of total production of jade 
     in Burma in 2014 was $31,000,000,000, almost 48 percent of 
     the official gross domestic product of Burma. As much as 80 
     percent of that jade sold is smuggled out of Burma.
       (2) Burma's military and associated entities, including 
     companies owned or controlled by Myanmar Economic Corporation 
     and Myanmar Economic Holding Limited, their affiliated 
     companies, and companies owned or controlled by current and 
     former senior military officers or their family members, are 
     linked to the mining sector, including the gemstone industry, 
     and benefit financially from widespread illegal smuggling of 
     jade and rubies from Burma.
       (3) Illegal trafficking in precious and semiprecious stones 
     from Burma, including the trade in high-value jade and 
     rubies, deprives the people of Burma and the civilian 
     government of critical revenue and instead benefits military-
     linked entities, non-state armed groups, and transnational 
     organized criminal networks.
       (4) In 2016, the Government of Burma began to take steps to 
     reform aspects of the mining sector, but the Gemstone Law 
     adopted in January 2019 does not adequately address 
     corruption and tax avoidance, conflicts of interest, or the 
     factors fueling conflict in Kachin State and other gemstone 
     mining areas.
       (5) The lifting in October 2016 of United States sanctions 
     on the importation of jade and jadeite and rubies from Burma 
     allowed such gemstones to legally enter the United States 
     market, but some retailers have refrained from sourcing 
     gemstones of Burmese origin due to governance and 
     reputational concerns.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) notwithstanding Burma's ``Trafficking in Persons'' 
     ranking, the President should continue to provide assistance 
     to Burma, pursuant to the waiver authority under section 
     110(d)(4) of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 
     (22 U.S.C. 7107(d)(4)), in order to re-engage with the 
     Government of Burma with respect to the mining sector and 
     should make available technical, capacity-

[[Page H5540]]

     building and other assistance through the Department of State 
     or the United States Agency for International Development to 
     support the Government of Burma in efforts to reform the 
     gemstone industry; and
       (2) companies that seek to import to the United States 
     gemstones or minerals that may be of Burmese origin or 
     articles of jewelry containing such gemstones should--
       (A) obtain such materials exclusively from entities that 
     satisfy the transparency criteria described in subsection 
     (d)(2) or from third parties that can demonstrate that they 
     sourced the materials from entities that meet such criteria; 
     and
       (B) undertake robust due diligence procedures in line with 
     the ``Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Business 
     Conduct'' and ``Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply 
     Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk 
     Areas'' promulgated by the Organization for Economic 
     Cooperation and Development.
       (c) List of Participating White-list Entities.--Not later 
     than 120 days after the date of the enactment of this 
     subtitle, and annually thereafter until the date described in 
     subsection (e), the Secretary of State shall submit to the 
     appropriate congressional committees, and publish on a

     indirectly, by the Burmese military or security forces, any 
     current or former senior Burmese military officer, or any 
     person sanctioned by the United States pursuant to any 
     relevant sanctions authority; and
       (4) is making significant progress toward meeting the 
     criteria described in subsection (d)(2).

       (D) The entity undertakes due diligence, in line with the 
     OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of 
     Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, 
     including public reporting.
       (e) Periodic Updating.--The Secretary shall periodically 
     update the publicly available version of the list described 
     in subsection (c) as appropriate.

     or minerals that may be of Burmese origin or articles of 
     jewelry containing such gemstones, including with respect to 
     transactions with entities approved for inclusion in the list 
     published pursuant subsection (c), in order to mitigate 
     potential risks and legal liabilities associated with the 
     importation of such items.
       (g) Termination.--The date described in this section is the 
     date on which the President certifies to the appropriate 
     congressional committees that the Government of Burma has 
     taken substantial measures to reform the mining sector in 
     Burma, including the following:
       (1) Require the mandatory disclosure of payments, permit 
     and license allocations, project revenues, contracts, and 
     beneficial ownership, including the identification any 
     politically exposed persons who are beneficial owners, 
     consistent with the approach agreed under the Myanmar EITI 
     and with due regard for civil society participation.
       (2) Separate the commercial, regulatory, and revenue

     Enterprise and other key state-owned enterprises to remove 
     existing conflicts of interest.
       (3) Monitor and undertake enforcement actions, as 
     warranted, to ensure that entities--

     of all such audits public.
       (7) Establish credible and transparent procedures for 
     permit allocations that are independent from external

     the right to trade in minerals or gemstones.
       (8) Establish effective oversight of state-owned 
     enterprises operating in such sector, including through

     provided.
       (5) The term ``seamless health care'' means health care 
     which is optimized through access by patients and clinicians 
     to integrated, relevant, and complete information about the 
     patient's clinical experiences, social and environmental 
     determinants of health, and health trends over time in order 
     to enable patients and clinicians to move from task to task 
     and encounter to encounter, within and across organizational 
     boundaries, such that high-quality decisions may be formed 
     easily and complete plans of care may be carried out 
     smoothly.
       (6) The term ``Secretary concerned'' means--
       (A) the Secretary of Defense, with respect to matters 
     concerning the Department of Defense;
       (B) the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, with respect to 
     matters concerning the Department of Veterans Affairs; and
       (C) the Secretary of Homeland Security, with respect to 
     matters concerning the Coast Guard when it is not operating

     SEC. 10__. TRANSPARENCY OF ACCOUNTING FIRMS USED TO SUPPORT 
                   DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE AUDIT.

       Section 1006 of the John S. McCain National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115-232) 
     is amended--
       (1) by striking ``For all contract actions'' and inserting

  The CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 476, the gentleman from 
Washington (Mr. Smith) and the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Thornberry) 
each will control 10 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Washington.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the 
gentleman from New York (Mr. Engel), chairman of the House Foreign 
Affairs Committee.
  Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Chair, this is a good amendment, and I would like to 
mention two measures.
  First, key provisions of my BURMA Act are included, as they were in 
the last Congress. The Burmese security forces perpetrated genocide 
against the Rohingya people, and those same forces are continuing to 
terrify Burma's other ethnic minorities with horrific violence.
  The victims deserve justice, and they deserve our unwavering support. 
This measure will hold these military officials accountable for their 
crimes and help support democracy in Burma.
  Next, is my provision to prevent another phony emergency declaration 
to push through arms sales, as the administration did in late May.
  The administration misused the law and went around Congress to sell 
more than $8 billion in arms to the Saudis and Emiratis.
  This fix would make sure that an emergency declaration cannot be used 
if the weapons won't be delivered for more than 3 months, because then 
there was no emergency in the first place.
  It is a commonsense reform that will protect Congress' role in the 
arms sale process.
  Mr. Chair, I urge my colleagues to join me in supporting the en bloc.
  I am also honored to join Chairman Smith as a cosponsor of amendment 
No. 1. The American public deserves to know the impact of our military 
operations abroad.
  There must be more openness and transparency when tragedy occurs, and 
civilian casualties are caused by U.S. military action.
  Being open is our moral obligation and the right thing to do, and it 
also strengthens our security. We are better equipped to tackle our 
counterterrorism challenges when we have the full confidence of our 
citizens and our international partners.
  U.S. military operations depend on close relationships with host 
nations, and we must do everything we can to ensure our partners that 
we take civilian casualties seriously.
  In the past, the Director of National Intelligence prepared reports 
on civilian casualties and strikes outside areas of active hostilities. 
This administration brought that sensible practice to a halt.
  This amendment would restore the DNI's role. Restoring this 
responsibility is a commonsense step to bring transparency back to our 
counterterrorism operations, and I urge all of our colleagues to 
support the amendment as well.

                              {time}  1845

  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chair, I yield 2 minutes to the distinguished 
gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Harris).
  Mr. HARRIS. Mr. Chair, I just raise concerns with two of the 
amendments that are in this en bloc amendment.
  Amendment No. 5 is one that extends free coverage for pregnancy 
prevention, and with the amendment, extends to all FDA-approved drugs 
and methods. Why I find it interesting is that, of course, a couple of 
years ago, we actually increased the copays on TRICARE for former 
members.
  If a former member has diabetes, they have a $28 copay for insulin. 
So this is kind of strange because what we are doing is selecting one 
type of drug and saying there are no copays for this, yet we have 
thousands, if not tens of thousands, of members who take an important 
drug like insulin and have to pay a copay. It just doesn't make sense.
  With regard to amendment No. 13, amendment No. 13 extends in vitro 
fertilization coverage which, up until now, has been for members whose 
problems have been related to their military service. It extends it to 
all members as well. It is going to greatly increase the number of 
embryos created.
  Although I have no disagreement with extending the coverage, the 
problem is, the amendment and the statute don't deal with what members 
are going to do with these embryos. It presents serious life concerns, 
due to the sheer number of embryos created that will often be 
discarded, now with government payment involved. Many will subsequently 
be killed or frozen indefinitely, leaving these early lives in limbo.
  There are no limits within the amendment as to how many cycles of IVF 
may be covered, how many embryos may be created or frozen. Of course, 
there are no requirements to protect the embryos that have been formed.
  It is for that deficiency, it is for creating a permanent statutory 
entitlement without dealing with what some people object to, which is 
treating those embryos created in a comprehensive, long-range fashion, 
for those reasons, I express concerns about amendments No. 5 and No. 
13.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chair, I have no further speakers on 
this first en bloc. I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chair, I yield 2 minutes to the distinguished 
gentleman from Nebraska (Mr. Bacon).
  Mr. BACON. Mr. Chair, I come here to support the en bloc. There are 
three great amendments in here that I want to briefly mention.
  First, we are funding the replacement of three simulators at Offutt 
Air Force Base, as well as programming equipment that will help us 
exploit data that is collected during the missions. This is critical 
for the backbone of the Air Force's medium-altitude manned ISR program.
  Having those three simulators will have a huge impact. Instead of 
taking aircraft home that should be flying to Russia, China, Korea, 
Iran, or wherever it may be--without those simulators, they have to 
come back to Offutt Air Force Base to do training--this will allow us 
to do training at home and continue our real-world operational 
missions.
  I also want to thank the Chamber for supporting a bill that will help 
enable our civilian professors to be retained in our military 
academies, the National War College, and all the different military 
schools that we have by allowing them to own the copyrighted material 
that they have. Prior to this bill, the civilian instructors would not 
be able to have ownership of these copyrighted materials, and many of 
them get out because they want to progress with their careers. This 
fixes that and allows them to stay in and maintain that ownership.
  Finally, I want to praise another amendment that is in this en bloc. 
We are allowing the academies now to endorse, as well as participate 
with, foundations that are there to help support the cadets. Prior to 
this, the academies were not allowed to partner or to endorse these 
foundations, and it really limited the ability for these foundations to 
help our cadets.
  Now that they can work together, they can help provide more money for 
new facilities and gym equipment, providing a better quality of life 
for our cadets, while at the same time lowering the burden on 
taxpayers.
  Mr. Chair, I want to praise this effort, and I support the en bloc.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chair, I have an additional speaker. I 
yield 2

[[Page H5546]]

minutes to the gentleman from Rhode Island (Mr. Cicilline).
  Mr. CICILLINE. Mr. Chair, I rise in support of the en bloc package, 
and I thank Chairman Smith and Ranking Member Thornberry for their 
support of two amendments that I have offered, particularly my 
amendment clarifying the statutory rights of servicemembers and their 
families under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act.
  For too long, forced arbitration clauses buried deep within the fine 
print of everyday contracts have eroded workplace discrimination 
protections for servicemembers and blocked them from having their day 
in court to hold corporations accountable. Under these agreements, a 
servicemember can be called up for Active Duty, express to his or her 
employer a desire to return to his job following deployment, and then 
be fired on his last day at work before he deploys. This actually 
happened.
  The servicemember would then learn that he or she has waived the 
right to due process because of the contract he or she signed, removing 
the procedures and safeguards afforded to individuals in our justice 
system. These forced arbitration clauses allow corporations to choose 
their arbiter and their venue and to deny servicemembers the right to 
press their claims for unjust termination.
  This bipartisan amendment would end this shameful practice by 
clarifying that arbitration clauses are only enforceable if agreed to 
by the servicemember or their family after a dispute arises, thereby 
protecting their rights under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act.
  I thank my colleagues, Congressman Guy Reschenthaler and Veterans 
Affairs' Committee Chairman Mark Takano, for their strong, bipartisan 
support for this amendment to protect our men and women in uniform. I 
thank the chairman and the ranking member for their support of this 
amendment.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chair, I have no further requests on this en bloc 
package.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Chair, I yield myself such time as I may 
consume to say that I urge support for the en bloc package.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendments en bloc offered 
by the gentleman from Washington (Mr. Smith).
  The en bloc amendments were agreed to.


                 Amendment No. 3 Offered by Ms. Speier

  The CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 3 printed in 
part B of House Report 116-143.
  Ms. SPEIER. Mr. Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.
  The CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       At the end of subtitle C of title V, add the following:

     SEC. 530. NONDISCRIMINATION WITH RESPECT TO SERVICE IN THE 
                   ARMED FORCES.

       (a) In General.--Chapter 37 of title 10, United States 
     Code, is amended by inserting after section 651 the following 
     new section:

     ``Sec. 651a. Members: nondiscrimination

       ``(a) Standards for Eligibility for Service.--Any 
     qualifications established or applied for eligibility for 
     service in an armed force shall take into account only the 
     ability of an individual to meet gender-neutral occupational 
     standards for military service generally and the military 
     occupational specialty concerned in particular, and may not 
     include any criteria relating to the race, color, national 
     origin, religion, or sex (including gender identity or sexual 
     orientation) of an individual.
       ``(b) Equality of Treatment in Service.--Any personnel 
     policy developed or implemented by the Department of Defense 
     with respect to members of the armed forces shall ensure 
     equality of treatment and opportunity for all persons in the 
     armed forces, without regard to race, color, national origin, 
     religion, and sex (including gender identity and sexual 
     orientation).
       ``(c) Gender Identity Defined.--In this section, the term 
     `gender identity' means the gender-related identity, 
     appearance, mannerisms, or other gender-related 
     characteristics of an individual, regardless of the 
     individual's designated sex at birth.''.
       (b) Clerical Amendment.--The table of sections at the 
     beginning of chapter 37 of such title is amended by inserting 
     after the item relating to section 651 the following new 
     item:

``651a. Members: nondiscrimination.''.

  The CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 476, the gentlewoman from 
California (Ms. Speier) and a Member opposed each will control 5 
minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from California.
  Ms. SPEIER. Mr. Chair, I yield myself 2 minutes.
  I rise today in support of my amendment to affirm the right of all 
people, regardless of race, religion, national origin, or sex, 
including sexual orientation or gender identity, to serve openly in our 
Armed Forces, so long as they meet gender-neutral standards.
  This debate affects real servicemembers who have served courageously. 
I want you to hear their stories.
  Navy Lieutenant Commander Blake Dremann, a trans man, has served for 
over 15 years and received the prestigious Navy Batchelder Award.
  Captain Jennifer Peace is a trans woman who has served for over 15 
years and has deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq multiple times.
  Army Captain Alivia Stehlik, a trans woman, commissioned out of West 
Point over 10 years ago and received the Bronze Star Medal.
  Hospital Corpsman Third Class Akira Wyatt, a trans woman, has been in 
the Navy for over 7 years and has deployed across the globe.
  Finally, Staff Sergeant Patricia King is a trans woman who is 
retiring after 20 years, 20 years, and has led combat infantry units 
over three deployments in Afghanistan.
  Over the last 3 years, 14,000 transgender servicemembers have served 
openly and successfully. All five service chiefs affirmed they do not 
hamper lethality or cohesion.
  Malice and ignorance cannot stop us from giving medically necessary 
care to individuals brave enough to serve. We know what transgender 
servicemembers bring to the fight. Let them bring it.
  Mr. Chair, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from California (Mrs. 
Davis), who has aptly represented this committee many times over.
  Mrs. DAVIS of California. Mr. Chair, I want to first thank my 
colleague from California for her work to undo the damage the President 
has done to transgender servicemembers and our Armed Forces.
  This ban endangers transgender soldiers and tells all transgender 
Americans that they are not fit to serve their country. The Harry 
Truman amendment will reverse the President's harmful ban and protect 
transgender soldiers from further discrimination.
  Though the administration cited concerns over readiness, unit 
cohesion, and medical costs to justify its ban, it has been unable to 
back up its claims.
  Mr. Chair, transgender troops have served openly at home, overseas, 
and in combat zones since 2016 without incident, a finding supported by 
the Chief of Staff of every service branch.
  The Truman amendment extends Federal protections to transgender 
soldiers and makes it unlawful to exclude anyone from service based on 
their gender identity.
  Transgender servicemembers, as my colleague noted, testified in the 
House that serving openly dramatically improved their quality of life 
and their service to our country.
  Mr. Chair, I urge a ``yes'' vote on this amendment.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chair, I claim the time in opposition, although I 
am not completely sure I am opposed to the amendment.
  The CHAIR. Without objection, the gentleman from Texas is recognized 
for 5 minutes.
  There was no objection.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chair, I yield 3 minutes to the distinguished 
gentlewoman from Missouri (Mrs. Hartzler).
  Mrs. HARTZLER. Mr. Chair, first of all, I would say, being from 
Missouri, I would think that Harry Truman would be shocked that this 
would try to be named after him.
  But anyway, this amendment eliminates all enlistment requirements 
except for the gender-neutral occupational standards.
  It says, ``Any qualifications established or applied for eligibility 
for service in an armed force shall take into account only the ability 
of an individual to meet gender-neutral occupational standards for 
military service,'' and it goes on.
  Intended or not, I am concerned that this means that an individual 
with a

[[Page H5547]]

chronic illness, with zero ability to deploy, could apply for and join 
the military as long as the candidate meets the gender-neutral 
occupational standards.
  This is not how the military recruits and retains the best military 
fighting force. The military prides itself on high medical and physical 
standards. Currently, if you meet both standards, then you may be 
granted the honor of serving. The military is under no obligation to 
accept individuals who do not meet the medical criteria for service.
  The military's recruitment process doesn't screen for race, religion, 
color, national origin, or sex. Neither does it screen for gender 
preference.
  It seems that the intent of this amendment is to gut the President's 
recently implemented policy on transgender servicemembers, which, I 
will remind everyone, allows transgenders to serve. It allows 
transgenders to serve in their biological sex, except for those--except 
for those--who have undergone treatments for gender dysphoria, which 
would make them nondeployable.
  I would remind my colleagues that the DOD policy is based on medical 
conditions, not an individual's fluid and preferred gender identity. It 
is based on deployability and readiness, not discrimination.
  The Trump policy states that anyone who meets military standards 
without special accommodations can and should be able to serve. This 
includes transgender persons.
  This amendment appears to gut the military's ability to ensure our 
soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines can medically serve by stating 
the DOD can only take into account whether or not an individual meets 
gender-neutral occupational standards.
  Military service is a privilege. It is not a right. It would be 
unwise for us to make exceptions to service for one specific entity who 
could not meet medical standards. That is why I urge my colleagues to 
oppose this amendment.

                              {time}  1900

  Ms. SPEIER. Mr. Chairman, I yield 45 seconds to the gentleman from 
Maryland (Mr. Brown), my great colleague.
  Mr. BROWN of Maryland. Mr. Chairman, I rise in support of 
Congresswoman Speier's amendment.
  As an African American veteran, my service and my background lead me 
to believe that all Americans who want to serve and can meet our 
military standards should be afforded the opportunity to serve. This 
amendment, which codifies the military's existing nondiscrimination 
standards for all Americans, would end President Trump's ban on 
transgender servicemembers and would realize President Truman's promise 
of the equality of treatment and opportunity for all those who serve in 
our country's defense that he made when he desegregated the Armed 
Forces.
  Those who argue against transgender service often say it disrupts 
unit cohesion, erodes morale, and reduces effectiveness. These 
arguments, regrettably, were used to keep African American, women, 
lesbian, and gay members from serving. Transgender servicemembers, we 
need their service; we need their skills; we need their experience; we 
need their courage; we need their patriotism; and they need our 
support.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I only have myself to close, and I 
reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. SPEIER. Mr. Chairman, may I inquire how much time I have 
remaining.
  The CHAIR. The gentlewoman has 1\3/4\ minutes remaining.
  Ms. SPEIER. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to my colleague from 
Massachusetts (Mr. Kennedy).
  Mr. KENNEDY. Mr. Chairman, I thank the chairwoman for her passionate 
work on this issue.
  The President's transgender military ban doesn't just ignore science, 
expert testimony, military experience, and the advice of all five 
military chiefs of staff, it ignores the men and women who are willing 
to die in defense of our freedom.
  So I ask my colleagues one simple question: Are you willing to look 
into the eyes of a trans servicemember and tell them that they are not 
qualified to serve in our Nation's Armed Forces simply because of who 
they are, that our country won't allow them their most basic freedom 
while expecting them to die for our own?
  If our Nation's fundamental promise that we are all created equal 
doesn't apply to all, then what are we asking them to defend in the 
first place?
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I continue to reserve the balance of my 
time.
  Ms. SPEIER. Mr. Chairman, I yield 30 seconds to the gentlewoman from 
New Mexico (Ms. Haaland), my great colleague.
  Ms. HAALAND. Mr. Chairman, America must live up to its values, and 
that means treating transgender servicemembers with the same respect 
and dignity as their counterparts. Both of my parents served and only 
judged their fellow servicemembers on one standard: their ability to 
complete the mission.
  Transgender servicemembers honorably serve this country and are not 
any different than any other servicemember. They come from families 
where service is a tradition. They go through the same training and 
abide by the same requirements. They deserve fairness and respect, and 
I urge the passage of this amendment.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I continue to reserve the balance of my 
time.
  Ms. SPEIER. Mr. Chairman, I am prepared to close. How much time do I 
have left, Mr. Chairman?
  The CHAIR. The gentlewoman has 15 seconds remaining.
  Ms. SPEIER. Mr. Chairman, these are servicemembers who deserve our 
support. These are servicemembers who have already identified as trans 
members in our military. They provide no issues in terms of lethality 
or cohesion. They serve with distinction, with honor, and it is time 
for us to repeal this ill-advised amendment.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself the balance of my time.
  Mr. Chairman, I would simply say my view is that, if a servicemember 
is qualified and can do the job without some sort of special 
accommodation, then we ought to take advantage of that member's 
service.
  I note that Secretary Mattis has testified: ``It is a bedrock 
principle of the Department of Defense that any eligible individual who 
can meet the high standards for military service without special 
accommodations should be permitted to serve.''
  That is what I believe. I have read the gentlewoman's amendment. It 
is not clear to me that her amendment is in violation of that statement 
or my belief.
  I heard and listened clearly to the concerns Mrs. Hartzler stated, so 
maybe we need to continue, as we move forward, to look at whether there 
are other consequences to the language. But it seems to me the standard 
that Secretary Mattis has set out--if you can do the job, you ought to 
be able to do the job--that is the right one.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIR (Ms. Jackson Lee). The question is on the amendment 
offered by the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Speier).
  The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes 
appeared to have it.
  Ms. SPEIER. Madam Chair, 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 California 
will be postponed.


                 Amendment No. 6 Offered by Ms. Speier

  The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 6 
printed in part B of House Report 116-143.
  Ms. SPEIER. Madam Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.
  The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       At the end of subtitle C of title VII, add the following 
     new section:

     SEC. 729. EDUCATION ON FAMILY PLANNING FOR MEMBERS OF THE 
                   ARMED FORCES.

       (a) Education Programs.--
       (1) In general.--Not later than one year after the date of 
     the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense, in 
     consultation with the Secretary of the Department in which 
     the Coast Guard is operating, shall establish a uniform 
     standard curriculum to be used in education programs on 
     family planning for all members of the Armed Forces, 
     including both men and women members. Such education programs 
     shall be provided to members as follows:
       (A) During the first year of service of the member.

[[Page H5548]]

       (B) At such other times as each Secretary of a military 
     department determines appropriate.
       (2) Sense of congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     the education programs under paragraph (1) should be 
     evidence-informed and use the latest technology available to 
     efficiently and effectively deliver information to members of 
     the Armed Forces.
       (b) Elements.--The uniform standard curriculum under 
     subsection (a) shall include the following:
       (1) Information for members of the Armed Forces on active 
     duty to make informed decisions regarding family planning.
       (2) Information about the prevention of unintended 
     pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, including 
     human immunodeficiency virus (commonly known as ``HIV'').
       (3) Information on--
       (A) the importance of providing comprehensive family 
     planning for members, including commanding officers; and
       (B) the positive impact family planning can have on the 
     health and readiness of the Armed Forces.
       (4) Current, medically accurate information.
       (5) Clear, user-friendly information on--
       (A) the full range of methods of contraception approved by 
     the Food and Drug Administration; and
       (B) where members can access their chosen method of 
     contraception.
       (6) Information on all applicable laws and policies so that 
     members are informed of their rights and obligations.
       (7) Information on patients' rights to confidentiality.
       (8) Information on the unique circumstances encountered by 
     members and the effects of such circumstances on the use of 
     contraception.

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 476, the gentlewoman 
from California (Ms. Speier) and a Member opposed each will control 5 
minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from California.
  Ms. SPEIER. Madam Chair, we withdrew this particular amendment during 
the committee's disposition on the NDAA at the request of Mr. Kelly 
because I recognized that he had some important points to make. I think 
this addresses his concern.
  This particular amendment ensures access to high-quality education on 
family planning across military branches to give our servicemembers the 
tools they need to make the best healthcare decisions for themselves 
and their families.
  According to DOD estimates, the vast majority--some 95 percent--of 
all women serving in our military are of reproductive age, yet data 
from the Department of Defense survey shows insufficient access to 
comprehensive family planning education among our servicemembers. 
Inadequate family planning education puts servicemembers at high risk 
of unplanned pregnancies and creates uncertainty in the retention of 
critical personnel.
  Not surprisingly, research shows that Active-Duty servicemembers of 
reproductive age have a rate of unplanned pregnancies that is 60 
percent--I repeat, 60 percent--higher than that of comparable women in 
the general population.
  Education on family planning is not just about contraception or 
pregnancy; it is also about preventing sexually transmitted infections, 
including HIV, and staying healthy and informed.
  This amendment would create a uniform education program across all 
branches of the military so that servicemembers receive current and 
medically accurate information. The education would be mandatory within 
the first year of service, and additional education may be offered at 
the discretion of each service branch.
  This is an issue of basic healthcare, but it is also a matter of 
military readiness and national security. Our troops deserve the very 
best, regardless of which branch of the military they serve.
  Madam Chair, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from California 
(Mrs. Davis).
  Mrs. DAVIS of California. Madam Chair, I rise today to support the 
amendment offered by my colleague from California (Ms. Speier). It 
provides our servicemembers with medically accurate educational 
resources to help prevent unintended pregnancies and the spread of 
sexually transmitted infections.
  The courageous Americans who put their lives on the line for our 
country deserve the best wellness education we can offer, and keeping 
them healthy helps maximize our military's readiness.
  This commonsense amendment is recommended by the Pentagon's 
nonpartisan Defense Department Advisory Committee on Women in the 
Services, and, therefore, there should be broad bipartisan support. I 
encourage my colleagues who support our troops to vote for it.
  Ms. SPEIER. Madam Chair, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from New 
Mexico (Ms. Haaland).
  Ms. HAALAND. Madam Chair, I rise in support of this amendment, and I 
want to highlight three key points:
  The military women of reproductive age lack access to adequate 
healthcare. This is a healthcare problem.
  Unplanned pregnancies hamper readiness and make it harder for women 
to advance their careers, and this personnel issue can be easily 
remedied.
  A service branch shouldn't determine the quality of care our 
servicemembers should have, and this is an equality issue.
  I thank Chairwoman Speier, and I urge passage of this amendment.
  Mrs. HARTZLER. Madam Chair, I rise in opposition to the amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Missouri is recognized for 5 
minutes.
  Mrs. HARTZLER. Madam Chair, I yield myself such time as I may 
consume.
  I rise today in opposition to this amendment, which establishes and 
mandates the establishment of a curriculum to be used in education 
programs on family planning for every military serviceman and -woman, 
and I will be the first to say I think this amendment is excessive.
  We already have DOD policy that requires the defense health agency in 
each military service medical department to administer its own training 
on counseling and methods of contraception to all DOD healthcare 
providers so that they may provide assistance to our military members 
when it is needed.
  In addition, I am a former teacher, and I believe knowledge is 
important, but a simple brochure would suffice; however, this amendment 
is over the top. It would require an entire curriculum to be developed, 
which would be used in education programs.
  It requires every military member, men and women, to come in off the 
field, and, instead of honing their skills on a target range or in the 
cockpit, they would be subjected to perhaps hours of PowerPoint 
presentations, worksheets, and lectures not on what China is doing in 
the South China Sea or the latest tactics of Russian aggression, but on 
family planning.
  Not only would this amendment force every servicemember to be 
subjected to this curriculum and programming, suggesting that this 
training is more important than their military training, but it 
ambiguously defines what comprehensive family planning is. As written 
in this amendment, this training would include information about the 
prevention of unintended pregnancy and the importance of providing 
comprehensive family planning.
  I am extremely concerned this ambiguous terminology will be 
interpreted to include abortion counseling or services. We already see 
this dangerous terminology in places like New York, where their 
comprehensive family planning program funds over 57 Planned 
Parenthoods.
  I would like to know from the author of this amendment whether this 
amendment encompasses information about abortion services as part of 
comprehensive family planning services.

  Madam Chair, I yield 10 seconds to the gentlewoman from California 
(Ms. Speier) to answer this question.
  Ms. SPEIER. Madam Chair, I thank the gentlewoman from Missouri for 
yielding.
  Let me be clear, we are already providing this service in the 
branches. They are not uniform. This would make it uniform. So whatever 
is being provided now would continue to be provided, but it would be 
consistent and uniform.
  Mrs. HARTZLER. Madam Chair, it sounds like a little ambiguous answer 
there. We don't know if this includes abortion counseling or not.
  Madam Chair, I just think that this is an unnecessary mandate to push 
family planning curriculum on a captive audience, and perhaps it is not 
the best use of the time of our military.
  Other government employees are not forced to leave their job duties 
to attend family planning training. You

[[Page H5549]]

don't hear of the Department of Education having their employees go or 
the Department of Transportation or any of the other departments, yet 
we want to take our soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines off the 
training field and bring them in for this curriculum.
  I would suggest that we should not target our military population and 
use their precious time in this way. I believe too much is at stake.
  Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. SPEIER. Madam Chair, I really object to my good friend and 
colleague's definition of what this is actually doing. We are already 
providing this kind of training, this kind of education to our 
servicemembers in all our branches. We do know that the Navy and 
Marines are considered to do it best, while the Army and Air Force have 
room for improvement.
  A recent study found that female Army soldiers have more children in 
their first 2 years of enlistment and miss more work than do females in 
other military branches, in part due to the differences in policies on 
birth control education.
  The Navy's approach is much more comprehensive, and it is on that 
basis that we want to have all of the services providing the same level 
of education as the Navy and Air Force.
  Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.

                              {time}  1915

  Mrs. HARTZLER. Madam Chair, I appreciate what my colleague is trying 
to do, but I do think that it is unnecessary, it is excessive, and it 
is redundant. The author of the amendment already said it is already 
being done. And servicemembers already have access to counseling on 
methods of contraception, so we should not require mandatory training 
for every servicemember and have this expanded curriculum and bring 
them off the training field and sit them down for a PowerPoint 
presentation.
  Madam Chair, I urge all my colleagues to join me in opposing this 
amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time.

  Mr. KHANNA. Madam Chair, I support Amendment No. 6 to H.R.2500, 
offered by my colleague from California, Ms. Speier. It provides our 
servicemembers with medically-accurate educational resources to help 
prevent unintended pregnancies and the spread of sexually transmitted 
infections. As a member of the Armed Services Committee and a former 
board member of Planned Parenthood Mar Monte, I've seen first-hand the 
importance of family planning education, especially in our military. 
The courageous Americans who put their lives on the line for our 
country deserve the best wellness education we can offer. Keeping them 
healthy helps maximize our military's readiness. This common-sense 
amendment is recommended by the Pentagon's nonpartisan Defense Advisory 
Committee on Women in the Services. Therefore, there should be broad 
bipartisan support, and I encourage my colleagues who support our 
troops to vote for it.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the 
gentlewoman from California (Ms. Speier).
  The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes 
appeared to have it.
  Ms. SPEIER. Madam Chair, 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 California 
will be postponed.


                Amendment No. 9 Offered by Mr. Brindisi

  The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 9 
printed in part B of House Report 116-143.
  Mr. BRINDISI. Madam Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.
  The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       At the end of subtitle A of title VIII, add the following 
     new section:

     SEC. 815. ADDITION OF DOMESTICALLY PRODUCED STAINLESS STEEL 
                   FLATWARE AND DINNERWARE TO THE BERRY AMENDMENT.

       (a) In General.--Section 2533a(b) of title 10, United 
     States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following 
     new paragraphs:
       ``(3) Stainless steel flatware.
       ``(4) Dinnerware.''.
       (b) Effective Date.--Paragraphs (3) and (4) of section 
     2533a(b) of title 10, United States Code, as added by 
     subsection (a), shall apply with respect to contracts entered 
     into on or after the date occurring 1 year after the date of 
     the enactment of this Act.

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 476, the gentleman 
from New York (Mr. Brindisi) and a Member opposed each will control 5 
minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from New York.
  Mr. BRINDISI. Madam Chair, I yield myself as much time as I may 
consume.
  Madam Chair, I rise today in support of my bipartisan amendment, and 
I would like to thank Congressman McKinley for leading this important 
effort with me.
  This amendment would reinstate the Berry amendment's longstanding 
Department of Defense domestic sourcing requirement for stainless steel 
flatware.
  This amendment would support American manufacturers, ensure our 
servicemembers are using safe flatware and dinnerware, and gives the 
Department of Defense flexibility should American-made flatware not be 
available or affordable.
  There is historical precedent for this provision. In fact, from 1976 
to 2006, the Berry amendment included a domestic sourcing requirement 
for stainless steel flatware, but it was removed in the 2007 NDAA due 
to a lack of domestic supply.
  Since then, domestic flatware production has rebounded significantly. 
In the past decade, domestic manufacturers have sold over $9 million in 
flatware to the Federal Government. This rebound has led to a stable 
domestic supply chain and manufacturer base.
  Our American manufacturers have demonstrated their reliability as a 
stable domestic supplier of stainless steel flatware to Federal 
customers, which supports restoring the longstanding domestic sourcing 
requirement.
  As my colleagues know, President Trump is a staunch supporter of 
American manufacturers, a commitment to American jobs that he and I 
share.
  Congress constantly pays lip service to bringing back good-paying 
American jobs and keeping them here. Well, this is an opportunity for 
my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to actually do it.
  Reinstating the Berry amendment's domestic sourcing provision for 
stainless steel flatware is a win-win for everyone involved. It 
supports local manufacturing in the U.S., and DOD would retain the 
ability to waive the domestic sourcing requirement if domestic flatware 
could not be procured at market prices.
  In my view, this should not be a difficult question. When choosing 
between supporting and creating American jobs over Chinese jobs, I will 
choose hardworking Americans every time, and I urge my colleagues to do 
the same by supporting this amendment.
  Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Madam Chair, I claim the time in opposition to the 
amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Texas is recognized for 5 
minutes.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Madam Chair, I yield myself such time as I may 
consume.
  Madam Chair, this is the third year in a row, I believe, we have had 
this attempt to require DOD to only buy knives and forks and spoons 
from a certain supplier.
  I opposed it when it was brought by a Republican and I oppose it when 
it is brought this year as well.
  In all 3 years, I have yet to hear a national security justification 
to dictate where DOD buys its knives and forks and spoons and plates. I 
have not heard it yet.
  At one point, there was a view that certain textiles and food were of 
such importance to the functioning of our military, that there needed 
to be restrictions on where they were procured. Again, I have not heard 
that when it comes to knives and forks.
  I will say that adding this mandate will hurt our troops, because the 
only situation in which DOD would choose other than a domestic supplier 
would be if it saves money if you can buy knives and forks and spoons 
cheaper from some other supplier. So that means you are taking away 
money from ammunition or whatever it is and spending more than you 
would otherwise need to spend on your plates and knives and forks. I 
can't tell you how much, probably not a lot, but it takes away money 
for other vital programs.
  The big question I have, Madam Chair, is where does this stop? I 
admire

[[Page H5550]]

all Members who try to support manufacturing in his or her district. 
That is part of our job as Members of Congress. Got it.
  But if we are going to say, ``Okay. The DOD has got to buy their 
plates and cups and knives and forks and spoons from a domestic 
supplier in my district,'' what about the napkins? What about the soap 
to wash your hands? Where does it stop?
  I don't think that we want to go down this road without a clear 
national security reason to limit the suppliers available to DOD.
  Computer chips, that is one thing, but knives and forks, that is 
something else.
  Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. BRINDISI. Madam Chair, this amendment would not cost the 
Department of Defense any more money. In fact, this amendment retains 
all existing waivers under the Berry amendment.
  If there were significant negative charges to the price or quality of 
domestic flatware, the Department of Defense will be able to use other 
sources of flatware and would be able to import flatware.
  This amendment reaches beyond flatware and would support multiple 
American manufacturers.
  This amendment would also allow American manufacturers all over the 
country to compete against each other to provide our servicemembers 
with American-made flatware.
  Unlike the items that were mentioned that have never been included in 
the Berry amendment, flatware was included in the Berry amendment for 
30 years. It was only removed because domestic supply could not sustain 
the Pentagon's demand at the time.
  Domestic supply has since rebounded. Because of this, I see no reason 
why not to reinstate this longstanding provision that would help 
American manufacturing.
  I would argue that it is in our national security interest, because 
supporting American manufacturing, supporting American jobs helps grow 
our economy, helps create more taxpayers who then contribute revenue to 
fund our military. I would much rather support American manufacturers 
who pay taxes in this country than support manufacturers in China and 
support the Chinese economy.

  Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time to 
close.
  Mr. BRINDISI. Madam Chair, I urge adoption of the amendment, and I 
yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Madam Chair, creating domestic jobs in industry after 
industry is not the primary purpose of the Department of Defense, 
especially without a national security reason to do so.
  What this amendment would do, if it does anything, is to add another 
category of bureaucracy and burdens that the Department of Defense has 
got to go through before it decides where it is going to procure its 
plates and spoons.
  This has not been the law since 2006. I think our military folks have 
been reasonably well fed in the 13 years since this was last part of 
the law.
  Again, the only reason to do it is if the domestic supplier is not 
cheaper. So it costs money, if it does anything.
  Madam Chair, there are lots of important national security issues. 
Mandating where the Department of Defense gets its plates and spoons 
and cups and bowls and however else you want to define dinnerware, I do 
not think, is appropriate, and I urge opposition to the amendment.
  Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the 
gentleman from New York (Mr. Brindisi).
  The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes 
appeared to have it.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Madam Chair, 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 New York 
will be postponed.


         Amendment No. 10 Offered by Mrs. Torres of California

  The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 10 
printed in part B of House Report 116-143.
  Mrs. TORRES of California. Madam Chair, I have an amendment at the 
desk.
  The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

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

     SEC. 10__. UNITED STATES MUNITIONS LIST.

       The President may not remove from the United States 
     Munitions List any item that was included in category I, II, 
     or III of the United States Munitions List, as in effect on 
     August 31, 2017.

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 476, the gentlewoman 
from California (Mrs. Torres) and a Member opposed each will control 5 
minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from California.
  Mrs. TORRES of California. Madam Chair, I yield myself such time as I 
may consume.
  Madam Chair, my amendment would maintain congressional oversight over 
certain weapons sales and ensure that dangerous weapons do not end up 
in the wrong hands.
  Whatever our views on firearm policy may be, we should all be able to 
agree that putting more firearms in the wrong hands would make the 
world a lot more dangerous.
  Since the passage of the Arms Export Control Act in 1976, the State 
Department has overseen licensing authority for exporting deadly 
weapons, supported by congressional oversight authority.
  Under Republican Presidents and Democratic Presidents alike, this has 
been the system in place, so the experts who spend their lives 
monitoring hotspots around the world can put U.S. national security 
interests first, and not profits for weapons manufacturers.
  That is why many Members have expressed concern about the Trump 
administration's plan to change our firearm export licensing system.
  Under the administration's plan, firearms and other items in 
categories 1, 2, and 3 of the United States Munitions List would move 
from the Commerce Control List. That may sound like a technical change, 
but it would have real world consequences.
  Congress would lose oversight over sales, preventing this body from 
objecting to sales that could harm national security or lead to human 
rights violations.
  We would also be taking licensing authority for exporting deadly 
weapons away from the State Department and giving it to the Commerce 
Department, without any clear evidence that Commerce has the expertise 
or capacity to handle this new responsibility.
  This amendment would stop that plan from going forward.
  To be clear, this amendment would not prevent the export of firearms. 
This amendment would not create any new restrictions on firearms 
exports.
  This amendment would simply keep the status quo in place so we can 
focus our efforts on strengthening the current system.
  When it comes to keeping firearms out of the hands of terrorists and 
drug cartels, we should err on the side of caution.
  That is what this amendment does.
  Madam Chair, I urge my colleagues to support this amendment, and I 
reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. ZELDIN. Madam Chair, I claim the time in opposition to the 
amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from New York is recognized for 5 
minutes.

                              {time}  1930

  Mr. ZELDIN. Madam Chair, I stand in opposition to the amendment 
offered by my dear colleague, Mrs. Torres, that prohibits the President 
from removing any items listed in categories 1, 2, and 3 of the U.S. 
Munitions List.
  One of the first Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee hearings 
this year was a review of a large interagency process to modernize the 
United States Munitions List to ensure the State Department retained 
oversight over only the most critical defense articles with military 
end-use.
  The decision to transfer certain defense articles and services from 
State to Commerce had strong, bipartisan support but got caught up in a 
debate that had nothing to do with export control reform.

[[Page H5551]]

  The process to move certain defense articles has already begun. In 
fact, here are just some of the categories of weapons that have already 
moved to Commerce licensing controls: launch vehicles and missiles, 
explosives, military aircraft, submersible vessels, tanks, and the list 
goes on. Once again, these defense articles have already moved to 
Commerce control.
  This rule change should be finalized. After years of input from both 
sides of the aisle to make the change from State to Commerce, there is 
no reason this decision, which started in the last administration, 
needs to be delayed any longer.
  Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mrs. TORRES of California. Madam Chair, it is true that parts and 
components for military equipment have been moved to the CCL. However, 
none of the items previously transferred from the USML to the CCL were 
complete weapons that would allow a soldier to aim and fire on a 
target.
  The Obama administration did not move, or even propose to move, 
firearms and ammunition. They saw what happened at Newtown and knew 
that we needed to be cautious about these weapons.
  If the administration's proposal goes through, it would be the first 
time that the Commerce Department was put in charge of licensing for 
lethal weapons designed to kill people. This is not business as usual.
  Voting ``yes'' on this amendment will prevent this administration 
from going beyond what the Obama administration chose to do by ensuring 
that exports of firearms and ammunition remain under the jurisdiction 
of the State Department, with congressional oversight.
  Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. ZELDIN. Madam Chair, I continue to reserve the balance of my 
time.
  Mrs. TORRES of California. Madam Chair, I yield 1 minute to the 
gentleman from Washington (Mr. Smith).
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Chair, this is a very important issue 
and something that our committee worked on over a long stretch of time 
on export controls. We made very carefully thought-out reforms in that 
process.
  The process was a nightmare. Dual-use was the big problem. We could 
have, just as an example, a bolt that happened to go into a piece of 
military equipment. If it was to be put in something else, it was 
subject to this far more aggressive export control thing. But we fixed 
all of that.
  What the gentlewoman is trying to prevent is stepping way over the 
line here and allowing the export of things that really are clearly 
within the military use concern. We covered what wasn't. This goes 
beyond that and undermines our ability to make sure that we are not 
giving potential adversaries access to weapons that can jeopardize our 
national security.
  I do think we need to take this step to make sure that the Trump 
administration doesn't go beyond what we worked out. I realize this 
word is being overused, but we did work this out in a bipartisan way. 
With the chairman's help, we included this in the National Defense Act 
a few years ago. That was helpful.
  This goes too far by the President. I think this amendment is 
perfectly appropriate.
  Mr. ZELDIN. Madam Chair, it is important to point out that not all 
firearms will move to Commerce. The State Department will continue to 
retain oversight for certain firearms: fully automatic firearms; modern 
artillery; silencers, components, parts, and accessories specially 
designed for automatic firearms and shotguns. The list goes on. It is 
actually a long list of firearms-related components that will stay on 
USML.
  Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mrs. TORRES of California. Madam Chair, no one here is arguing 
against firearm exports, and no one here is trying to place new 
restrictions on manufacturers. What we are asking is to keep the system 
we have so that Congress can continue to do its job and make sure that 
deadly weapons don't end up in the wrong hands.
  Madam Chair, I urge all of my colleagues to support this amendment, 
and I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. ZELDIN. Madam Chair, the USML and the CCL are for listed exports 
of firearms. This jurisdictional transfer does not govern the illicit 
transfer of firearms that are often used in violent crimes and human 
rights abuses overseas.
  The U.S. Government will continue its longstanding end-use 
modernizing efforts, including vetting of potential end-users, to help 
prevent human rights abuses.
  As I stated during my opening remarks, when assessing Commerce's 
ability to take over this responsibility, it is hugely important to 
recognize everything that Commerce is already now in charge of, 
including, as I mentioned earlier, launch vehicles and missiles, 
explosives, military aircraft, submersible vessels, tanks, and the list 
goes on.
  This is not a new function for Commerce. It is a transition that 
started years ago during the last administration. This new rule should 
be finalized.
  What shouldn't be lost in this debate is how effectively Commerce is 
handling this responsibility with all the very important parts and 
categories that have already moved to their Department.
  Madam Chair, I urge all of my colleagues to oppose this amendment, 
and I yield back the balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the 
gentlewoman from California (Mrs. Torres).
  The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes 
appeared to have it.
  Mr. ZELDIN. Madam Chair, 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 California 
will be postponed.


                Amendment No. 11 Offered by Mr. Connolly

  The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 11 
printed in part B of House Report 116-143.
  Mr. CONNOLLY. Madam Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.
  The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       At the end of title XI, add the following:

     SEC. 1113. LIMITATION ON TRANSFER OF OFFICE OF PERSONNEL 
                   MANAGEMENT.

       The President or his designee may not take any action to 
     transfer, transition, merge, or consolidate any functions, 
     responsibilities, programs, authorities, information 
     technology systems, staff, resources, or records of the 
     Office of Personnel to or with the General Services 
     Administration, the Office of Management and Budget, or the 
     Executive Office of the President.

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 476, the gentleman 
from Virginia (Mr. Connolly) and a Member opposed each will control 5 
minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Virginia.
  Mr. CONNOLLY. Madam Chair, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Madam Chair, the Trump administration has proposed to abolish the 
Office of Personnel Management altogether and give the White House 
control of governmentwide Federal employee policies.
  My simple amendment would prohibit that proposed reorganization from 
being implemented because, as my subcommittee has uncovered, this 
proposal lacks merit, justification, or even a coherent rationale. That 
is the opinion of the Government Accountability Office, not just me.
  The GAO has testified that OPM's leaders ``have not established 
outcome-oriented goals, developed a cost-benefit analysis or 
implementation plans, and have not fully involved or communicated their 
efforts with the Congress, employees, and other key stakeholders.''
  Both Republicans and Democrats on our subcommittee expressed deep 
skepticism about the so-called plan.
  My Republican counterpart in the Senate, Senator James Lankford, 
said, ``It's hard to get to a determination of how this makes things 
better.''
  I couldn't agree more. OPM's 5,500 employees run programs that serve 
our Federal Government's 2.7 million active employees.
  OPM administers, for example, the largest employer-sponsored health 
insurance program in the world and processes the world's largest 
retirement

[[Page H5552]]

program for 2.5 million Federal retirees and their survivors.
  It provides human services consulting and regulates the 
implementation of laws essential to our Nation's merit-based civil 
service, including the Hatch Act, which prohibits Federal employees 
from using Federal resources for political and campaign purposes.
  It also provides dental, vision, and medical insurance to 8 million 
Federal employees and their families.
  In short, OPM is the agency that serves the people who serve the 
American people.
  On May 21, our subcommittee held a hearing that eviscerated the 
administration's plan to eliminate OPM. I told Acting Director Weichert 
at that time that the plan was dead on arrival as submitted and that 
she needed to start over to find a way to work together on a bipartisan 
basis to rebuild OPM the right way. She said she would, and I took her 
at her word. Despite these clear messages and continued oversight, Ms. 
Weichert failed to live up to her end of the agreement.
  Recently, OPM officials announced their intention to lay off or 
possibly furlough 150 employees because they could not afford to keep 
them on the payroll, they claimed. That threat was made in spite of the 
proposed appropriations levels, which are above what would be needed to 
fill any budget gap.
  The administration's inadequate plan to dismantle OPM has been a 
disaster. After realizing that it cannot prevail on the merits, the 
administration is now resorting to blackmail.
  On June 27, our subcommittee held another hearing to question OPM 
officials on the lack of documents provided to Congress about the plan 
to eliminate OPM. At that hearing, OPM admitted they have failed to 
determine whether actions they are already taking to eliminate OPM are 
even legal. They could not provide the underlying legal guidance 
justifying their action.
  The language in this simple amendment largely mirrors language 
already included in the Financial Services and General Government 
Appropriations Act for fiscal year 2020 already passed by the House 
last month.
  We have not seen anything, unfortunately, from the administration to 
convince us that any part of this plan is a good idea and would make 
our Federal Government more effective and efficient. In fact, GAO has 
said that the administration's proposal could further hinder the 
Federal retirement backlog by creating additional uncertainty. That 
could make it difficult for OPM to plan large-scale changes in its 
operations.
  The Acting Director of OPM and the Deputy Director for Management of 
OMB was reported as saying that the administration plans ``to play 
chicken with Congress'' to effectuate its proposal to eliminate OPM.
  We must pass this amendment, as we did on the appropriations bill, to 
send a clear message that threatening Congress is not the way to do 
business, whether it is with a Republican administration or a 
Democratic administration.
  I urge my colleagues to work with us to ensure that Federal employees 
are treated with respect and are protected through the OPM process.
  Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. HICE of Georgia. Madam Chair, I rise in opposition to the 
amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes
  Mr. HICE of Georgia. Madam Chair, I yield myself such time as I may 
consume.
  Madam Chair, it is true that on June 21, 2018, President Trump's 
Office of Management and Budget released a plan to reorganize the 
executive branch. In that plan, they identified numerous ways to 
eliminate duplicative programs, to combat waste, fraud, and abuse in 
the government. One of the recommendations would merge the Office of 
Personnel Management with the General Services Administration.
  I think it is important that we highlight the word ``merge.'' This is 
not an elimination of OPM. It is a merger of the two.
  OPM's employees work hard to serve retiring Federal employees. 
Unfortunately, they are working with outdated 20th-century technology. 
It is extremely difficult for them to be able to attract IT talent 
necessary to operate this outdated IT system.
  The intent of OPM's proposed merger is to fix this problem by 
creating one agency focused on delivering efficient, effective employee 
services governmentwide.
  Admittedly, OPM has not shown that this is an effective way to 
address the many problems that are facing OPM. Further, it is true that 
despite repeated requests for legal analysis on the administrative 
authorities and cost-benefit analysis, the Oversight and Reform 
Committee continues to wait for supporting information.

                              {time}  1945

  The gentleman from Virginia knows that we have supported that effort 
to try to get that information so that we can do our job.
  The whole challenge that we are facing is, indeed, ongoing. And while 
I share the gentleman's frustration with the lack of information to 
inform our committee, this amendment is not the answer. We have the 
same goal. We want to find ways to improve services for Federal 
employees and get retirement benefits for Federal retirees. But while 
we search for a solution, we need to keep all solutions and all options 
on the table.
  Maybe a merger could gain considerable operational efficiencies, 
including providing support to OPM's beleaguered IT operation. If we 
see any evidence to support that, we should give this proposal serious 
consideration.
  We should also give serious consideration to other proposals. If the 
chairman of the Oversight and Reform Committee's Government Operations 
Subcommittee is aware of any other proposals, I would certainly hope 
and encourage him to incorporate those proposals into bipartisan 
oversight efforts.
  But in the meantime, this amendment does nothing to help OPM's 
mission, and actively closes options to help OPM. For that reason, I 
stand in opposition to this amendment, but look forward to working with 
the gentleman as we move forward.
  Mr. CONNOLLY. Madam Chair, may I inquire of the Chair how much time 
is remaining on both sides.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Virginia has 30 seconds 
remaining. The gentleman from Georgia has 1\1/2\ minutes remaining.
  Mr. CONNOLLY. Madam Chair, I am prepared to allow my friend to close, 
and then I will close. I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. HICE of Georgia. Madam Chair, I would just again reiterate that 
we need to keep all options on the table, and this amendment takes a 
possible solution off the table.
  I think we just need to do further research and consider this. I just 
encourage my colleagues to vote ``no'' on this amendment, and I yield 
back the balance of my time.
  Mr. CONNOLLY. Madam Chairwoman, I am sad my good friend, who I know 
shares my concerns, feels the need to oppose an amendment that is 
designed to prevent a very bad thing from happening that has no 
rationale, has no supporting documentation, and has threatened Congress 
with extortion. We will RIF 150 people if you don't do what we want--
even though you don't quite know what we want--by October 1. No one in 
this body should tolerate that. This amendment needs to pass, as it did 
in the appropriations bill.
  I urge its passage, and I yield back the balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the 
gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Connolly).
  The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes 
appeared to have it.
  Mr. HICE of Georgia. Madam Chair, 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 Virginia 
will be postponed.


                Amendment No. 12 Offered by Mr. Connolly

  The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 12 
printed in part B of House Report 116-143.
  Mr. CONNOLLY. Madam Chairwoman, I have an amendment at the desk.
  The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       At the end of subtitle E of title V, add the following new 
     section:

[[Page H5553]]

  


     SEC. 5__. AVAILABILITY OF RECORDS FOR NATIONAL INSTANT 
                   CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECK SYSTEM.

       (a) NICS Records.--Section 101(b) of the NICS Improvement 
     Amendments Act of 2007 (34 U.S.C. 40911(b)) is amended--
       (1) by redesignating paragraph (2) as paragraph (3); and
       (2) by inserting after paragraph (1), the following new 
     paragraph (2):
       ``(2) Department of defense.--Not later than three business 
     days after the final disposition of a judicial proceeding 
     conducted within the Department of Defense, the Secretary of 
     Defense shall make available to the Attorney General records 
     which are relevant to a determination of whether a member of 
     the Armed Forces involved in such proceeding is disqualified 
     from possessing or receiving a firearm under subsection (g) 
     or (n) of section 922 of title 18, United States Code, for 
     use in background checks performed by the National Instant 
     Criminal Background Check System.''.
       (b) Study and Report on MPO Database.--
       (1) Study.--The Secretary of Defense shall conduct a study 
     on the feasibility of establishing a database of military 
     protective orders issued by military commanders against 
     individuals suspected of having committed an offense of 
     domestic violence under section 928b of title 10, United 
     States Code (article 128b of the Uniform Code of Military 
     Justice). The study shall include an examination of each of 
     the following:
       (A) The feasibility of creating a database to record, 
     track, and report such military protective orders to the 
     National Instant Criminal Background Check System.
       (B) The feasibility of establishing a process by which a 
     military judge or magistrate may issue a protective order 
     against an individual suspected of having committed such an 
     offense.
       (2) Report.--Not later then 180 days after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall submit 
     to the congressional defense committees a report on the 
     results of the study conducted under paragraph (1).

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 476, the gentleman 
from Virginia (Mr. Connolly) and a Member opposed each will control 5 
minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Virginia.
  Mr. CONNOLLY. Madam Chair, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Madam Chairwoman, this amendment is simple, bipartisan, and has the 
support of leading domestic violence prevention advocates and veteran 
service organizations.
  First of all, I want to thank my friend and colleague from New York, 
a Republican, Mr. Peter King, for cosponsoring this amendment. Peter is 
a veteran and a respected voice in national security issues in the 
House, and his support is appreciated immensely.
  Our amendment does two things: First, it codifies existing Department 
of Defense policy which requires DOD to report to the National Instant 
Criminal Background Check System servicemembers who are prohibited from 
purchasing firearms pursuant to current law.
  Again, this provision of the amendment merely codifies existing DOD 
policy as outlined in the instruction 6400.06 and places no new legal 
restrictions on access to firearms.
  This provision is responsive to the DOD inspector general's report, 
``Evaluation of Military Services' Law Enforcement Responses to 
Domestic Violence Incidents'' within the military.
  In that report, the IG found that the DOD has failed consistently to 
report domestic violence convictions within DOD that would have 
disqualified a servicemember from purchasing a firearm.
  One of the domestic abuses that DOD failed to report to the FBI was 
Devin Kelley, who entered a house of worship in Sutherland Springs, 
Texas, in November of 2017, and killed 27 people with guns he should 
have been prohibited from purchasing under current law.
  According to the IG, of the 219 domestic violence cases examined at 
eight military installations, 201 were found not to comply with at 
least one of the Defense Department's policies for reporting domestic 
violence.
  In other words, more than 90 percent of the cases were not properly 
reported. And in four of five cases, 86 percent were not properly 
reported to the FBI or the NICS. That is a problem because we know NICS 
works.
  According to the FBI, from November 30, 1998, through December 31 of 
2018, 206,080 gun purchases were denied based on convictions of 
domestic violence or protective orders based on domestic violence.
  Codifying this reporting requirement gives it more teeth and helps 
Congress in its oversight of these important public safety measures 
that protect all of our military and their families.
  The second part of the amendment would task DOD with studying the 
feasibility of creating a database of military protective orders issued 
in response to domestic violence and reporting such MPOs to NICS or 
establishing a process by which military judges could issue protective 
orders in response to domestic violence.
  This provision is responsive to the inspector general's report on the 
investigation of the United States Air Force's failure to submit Devin 
Kelley's criminal history information to the FBI.
  Under current law, a military protective order issued in response to 
a domestic violence incident does not prohibit an individual from 
purchasing a firearm. However, a comparable civilian protective order 
would.
  The IG recommended that the Secretary of Defense consider pursuing 
legislation amending the Gun Control Act to specifically include 
military protective orders.
  The Senate-passed National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 
2019 included a provision which would have mandated that DOD create a 
mechanism by which military judges could issue protective orders that 
would trigger prohibitions on firearm purchases in a Republican Senate.
  We are sensitive to the concerns about due process and mandates 
regarding this matter. That is why we have adopted a middle ground that 
requires DOD to study the feasibility of complying with the IG 
recommendations and MPOs and the Gun Control Act, as well as to study 
the feasibility of establishing a system that the Senate NDAA would 
have established.
  According to the Department of Veterans Affairs, 30 percent of female 
veterans reported having been a victim of domestic violence within 
their adult life, and 22 percent say the abuse occurred while on Active 
Duty. According to the DOD, in more than 30 percent of domestic 
violence cases--1,100 out of 3,000--where the victim is a member of the 
military, their spouse is also a member of the military. This amendment 
is not about protecting civilians only, but about protecting those in 
uniform especially.
  In closing, I want to thank all of the organizations that have 
endorsed this bipartisan amendment including: the National Coalition 
Against Domestic Violence, Futures Without Violence, Domestic Violence 
Legal Empowerment and Appeals Project, Service Women's Action Network, 
and Protect Our Defenders.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Madam Chairwoman, I claim the time in opposition to 
the amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Texas is recognized for 5 
minutes.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Madam Chairwoman, I would say the first part of the 
gentleman's amendment is certainly appropriate. There is no question 
that DOD did not do what it should in reporting to the national 
database and there have been instances where that made a difference, 
tragic instances.
  So requiring DOD to report within 3 days, I think, as the gentleman 
from Virginia said, codifying the current policy, I think makes sense. 
I hope someday we can get to the point, by the way, where we require 
State and local governments to report within 3 days as well, because as 
the study was conducted on DOD's failure to report to the database, it 
turns out that some State and localities are even worse. So I think we 
all ought to up our game when it comes to that.
  I do want to express some concerns, however, about the second part of 
the gentleman's amendment. It requires a feasibility study on a 
military database for military protective orders. If it is a 
feasibility study about whether it is technically possible to have a 
database, that is one thing. But it is important for Members to 
understand that military protective orders are issued by commanders, 
and do not have any sort of due process that is associated with 
civilian protective orders or much due process at all.

  Now, military members can go and get a civilian protective order with 
appropriate due process. But right now, a

[[Page H5554]]

military protective order by commanders is just issued at the request 
of the victim or the victim's advocate. There are some opinions that 
there are even instances where this process has been abused.
  I just think we should be careful in treading down a road where we do 
not provide due process with significant consequences. So as the 
gentleman noted, there are some related provisions in the Senate bill. 
I think it would be appropriate to take this measure and look deeper 
into those consequences, especially to ensure that all servicemembers 
have due process as well as all servicemembers and civilians have the 
protection that the gentleman is seeking to achieve.
  Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the 
gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Connolly).
  The amendment was agreed to.


                Amendment No. 14 Offered by Ms. Shalala

  The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 14 
printed in part B of House Report 116-143.
  Ms. SHALALA. Madam Chairwoman, I have an amendment at the desk.
  The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       At the end of subtitle F of title V, add the following new 
     section:

     SEC. 5__. REVIEW OF INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION 
                   PARTICIPATING IN THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 
                   TUITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM.

       (a) List of Participating Institutions.--
       (1) In general.--The Secretary of Defense shall make 
     available, on a publicly accessible website of the Department 
     of Defense, a list that identifies--
       (A) each institution of higher education that receives 
     funds under the Department of Defense Tuition Assistance 
     Program; and
       (B) the amount of such funds received by the institution.
       (2) Annual updates.--The Secretary of Defense shall update 
     the list described in paragraph (1) not less frequently than 
     once annually.
       (b) Audit of Certain Institutions.--
       (1) In general.--The Secretary of Defense shall audit the 
     eligibility a proprietary institution of higher education to 
     participate in the Department of Defense Tuition Assistance 
     Program if the institution does not meet the financial 
     responsibility standards under section 498 of the Higher 
     Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1099c).
       (2) Publication required.--The results of each audit 
     conducted under paragraph (1) shall be made available on a 
     publicly accessible website of the Department of Defense not 
     later than 30 days after the date on which the audit is 
     complete.

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 476, the gentlewoman 
from Florida (Ms. Shalala) and a Member opposed each will control 5 
minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Florida.
  Ms. SHALALA. Madam Chairwoman, I yield myself such time as I may 
consume.
  Madam Chairwoman, the Department of Defense Tuition Assistance 
program provides financial assistance to servicemembers for voluntary 
off-duty education programs in support of professional and personal 
development.
  Tuition assistance is available for courses that are offered in the 
classroom or by distance learning and are part of an approved academic 
degree or certification program.
  These courses must be offered by schools that are recognized by the 
United States Department of Education, and they must abide by all rules 
governing the higher education sector.
  Because of a loophole that exists in Federal law, known as the GI 
Bill loophole, however, many for-profit colleges target veterans and 
servicemembers with aggressive and deceptive recruiting tactics in 
order to collect as much GI Bill and DOD revenue as possible.

                              {time}  2000

  In fact, research has demonstrated that the for-profit college sector 
is the only sector in higher education that increases tuition when 
additional Federal student aid becomes available. As one for-profit 
college president turned whistleblower told veterans' organizations and 
Federal officials last summer:

       We cleaned up all our materials, but behind closed doors, 
     our recruiters will do anything and say anything to get their 
     hands on GI benefits and DOD Tuition Assistance funds.

  This is simply unacceptable. Through the selfless sacrifice of our 
men and women in uniform, we as citizens receive freedom, a freedom 
that many people in this world envy. We owe an immense debt of 
gratitude to those who serve and must not allow anyone to abuse their 
benefits.
  Madam Chair, this amendment is simple, and it will ensure that 
veterans, Active Duty servicemembers, and their families are not taken 
advantage of by anyone in the predatory for-profit college sector. This 
amendment requires the Secretary of Defense to publish on its website 
the distribution of DOD Tuition Assistance funds at institutions of 
higher education and conduct an audit for any for-profit institution 
that fails to meet the financial responsibility standards set in the 
Higher Education Act of 1965.
  Madam Chair, a for-profit college has, by definition, a fiduciary 
duty to its shareholders to maximize profits. Success is determined by 
the amount of tuition revenue brought in and the profits made, not by 
the quality of education provided to its students.
  We speak about the good and bad actors in the for-profit college 
sector, and this amendment seeks to tell us just that. I know that my 
good friends on the other side of the aisle have always supported our 
veterans. I know they deeply care about fiscally responsible policies 
and transparency.
  Supporting our veterans and Active Duty servicemembers has 
historically drawn large, bipartisan support. It is incumbent upon us 
as elected officials to put forth an accountability system that 
distinguishes bad actors from good actors and looks out for the 
American taxpayer and protects our military community.
  Madam Chair, this is personal for me. Every generation of my family 
has served in our country's military, and all have used their 
educational benefits. I know the value of a good education. I have seen 
it firsthand in my four decades as an educator and as a college 
president. Our veterans deserve better than policies that allow bad 
actors in our education system to take advantage of their service and 
their sacrifice.
  I want to thank my colleagues who have worked with me on this issue 
and my good friend, Congresswoman Katie Porter, for cosponsoring this 
amendment. I urge my colleagues to support this commonsense amendment 
and stand on the side of our servicemembers.
  Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. FOXX of North Carolina. Madam Chair, I rise in opposition to the 
amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman is recognized for 5 minutes.
  Ms. FOXX of North Carolina. Madam Chair, I yield myself such time as 
I may consume.
  Madam Chair, my colleagues on the other side of the aisle are 
relentless in their pursuit to eliminate an entire sector of 
postsecondary education--proprietary institutions, or taxpaying 
institutions.
  In their zealous effort to bury these types of institutions under 
additional red tape and redundant bureaucratic mandates, Democrats are 
wasting taxpayer dollars and valuable Pentagon time.
  I have said during our Education and Labor Committee hearings, and I 
will say it again and again, I support accountability for all 
postsecondary education institutions. Students should not be taken 
advantage of or harmed at any institution. That is why Congress and the 
armed services have tough standards in place that hold all institutions 
accountable for taxpayer dollars.
  These requirements include two agencies already overseeing schools 
participating in aid programs. The Pentagon is already required through 
the Tuition Assistance program to evaluate the educational 
institutions' overall effectiveness in administering its academic 
program, courses, and general customer satisfaction; and the Department 
of Education is tasked with--and has the expertise to--monitor the 
school's fiscal health according to standards established by the 
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. If institutions 
fail to meet either of these requirements, there are serious 
consequences.
  In addition to doubling bureaucracy, this amendment fails to help 
students and their families in any meaningful way.

[[Page H5555]]

  Instead of voting for this ineffective amendment, I invite 
Representative Shalala and others to join me in reforming the Higher 
Education Act to hold all institutions accountable to all students.
  I appreciate my colleague for saying that her colleagues on this side 
of the aisle support our veterans. I agree that all veterans deserve 
our thanks and all the freedom they have fought for, including the 
right to attend the school of their choice.
  Madam Chair, I strongly oppose this amendment, I urge my colleagues 
to vote ``no'', and I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. SHALALA. Madam Chair, the DOD has already taken steps before to 
ensure Tuition Assistance funds are being spent properly when those 
institutions have been identified.
  My amendment allows the Secretary to broadly apply much-needed 
oversight to a sector that continues to defraud servicemembers and 
siphons off billions of dollars from the Federal Government.
  Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Ms. FOXX of North Carolina. Madam Chair, I would like to inquire of 
the Chair how much time is remaining.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman has 2\3/4\ minutes remaining.
  Ms. FOXX of North Carolina. Madam Chair, I yield 1\1/4\ minutes to 
the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Smucker).

  Mr. SMUCKER. Madam Chair, I thank the ranking member for yielding.
  I rise today in opposition, as well, to this amendment which seeks to 
limit education choices for our Nation's servicemembers. Under current 
law, institutions receiving Federal funding must meet the financial 
responsibility standards under the Higher Education Act. That is why 
the Department of Defense and the Department of Education are already 
required to oversee and evaluate an educational institution's fiscal 
health and academic programming. Let me repeat, they are already 
required to do that.
  This amendment is not only unnecessary, but it is also misleading. 
Let's be honest about what this amendment is really about. It is just 
another effort at eliminating all for-profit higher education 
institutions.
  Just a few weeks ago, I met with a group of veterans from my district 
who are attending or recently graduated from YTI Career Institute in 
Lancaster. They each shared similar stories about how traditional 
institutions of higher education--and I have a lot of good ones in my 
district--but in this particular instance they did not meet their 
needs.
  YTI Career Institute in Lancaster, a for-profit institution, did meet 
their needs and offered them a pathway to fast-track them into the 
workforce.
  Why should we take this option away?
  These veterans were very concerned that the programs which have 
worked so well for them and many others may be eliminated by this 
overregulation.
  The Acting CHAIR. The time of the gentleman has expired.
  Ms. FOXX of North Carolina. Madam Chair, I yield the gentleman from 
Pennsylvania an additional 15 seconds.
  Mr. SMUCKER. Madam Chair, if my colleagues truly were interested in 
improving accountability, then they would apply these standards to all 
institutions of higher learning, not just the ones they dislike.
  I strongly oppose this unneeded amendment.
  Ms. FOXX of North Carolina. Madam Chair, I yield 1 minute to the 
gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. David P. Roe).
  Mr. DAVID P. ROE of Tennessee. Madam Chair, I am a U.S. Army veteran 
who has used the GI Bill.
  While I strongly support being good stewards of resources expended by 
the Department of Defense to various educational institutions across 
the Nation, the amendment offered by my friend across the aisle goes 
too far by including the term proprietary when referring to 
universities. Congress and the Department of Education have set 
standards of financial responsibility and are already reviewing whether 
certain colleges and universities meet those standards.
  Let's continue to hold all universities accountable for these 
standards, not just a select few. There is no reason for this amendment 
to exclude any colleges because all students deserve to know that their 
choice of school meets Federally set responsibility standards whether 
public, private, or proprietary.
  Fortunately, this is already happening.
  Unfortunately, this amendment is duplicative of the work that the 
Departments of Defense and Education are conducting and is simply an 
effort to further categorize colleges and universities and hold them to 
different levels of scrutiny.
  Let's work together to make sure all students have access to a high 
quality, affordable education in a setting and format that works best 
for them.
  Ms. FOXX of North Carolina. Madam Chair, I want to reiterate again 
what I said before: we support veterans. We want them to get a great 
education, but we want them to have the choices that they have fought 
for. They have sacrificed for freedoms for our country, and they 
deserve to have all the freedoms that they possibly need.
  Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the 
gentlewoman from Florida (Ms. Shalala).
  The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes 
appeared to have it.
  Ms. FOXX of North Carolina. Madam Chair, 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 Florida 
will be postponed.


                  Amendment No. 17 Offered by Ms. Omar

  The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 17 
printed in part B of House Report 116-143.
  Ms. OMAR. Madam Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.
  The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       At the end of subtitle G of title X, insert the following:

     SEC. 10__. REPORT ON FINANCIAL COSTS OF OVERSEAS UNITED 
                   STATES MILITARY POSTURE AND OPERATIONS.

       Not later than March 1, 2020, the Secretary of Defense 
     shall submit to the congressional defense committees a report 
     on the financial costs and national security benefits of each 
     of the following for fiscal year 2019:
       (1) Operating, improving, and maintaining overseas military 
     infrastructure at installations included on the enduring 
     location master list, including adjustments that take into 
     account direct or in-kind contributions made by the host 
     nations of such enduring locations.
       (2) Operating, improving, and maintaining overseas military 
     infrastructure supporting forward-deployed forces at overseas 
     contingency locations, including adjustments that take into 
     account direct or in-kind contributions made by the host 
     nations of such enduring locations.
       (3) Overseas military operations, including support to 
     contingency operations, rotational deployments, and training 
     exercises

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 476, the gentlewoman 
from Minnesota (Ms. Omar) and a Member opposed each will control 5 
minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Minnesota.
  Ms. OMAR. Madam Chair, my amendment mandates reporting on the 
financial costs and national security benefits of the Department of 
Defense's operations overseas. This includes the cost of operating, 
improving, and maintaining military infrastructures both on our 
permanent bases and installations and at short-term contingency 
locations.
  In order for Congress to properly conduct its oversight and 
appropriation rules, we need to have a transparent explanation of how 
much each of these operations cost. We also need a transparent 
justification for how each of these operations contribute to keeping 
Americans safe.
  We hear a constant drumbeat from the other side of the aisle on the 
need for fiscal responsibility when it comes to our domestic spending, 
but when it comes time to fund the Pentagon, no amount is too much, and 
no project is too expensive, even though we spend more on the military 
than the next 10 countries combined.
  When we talk about fiscal responsibility and wasteful spending, the 
Pentagon must not be above reproach. We have to ask what is actually 
necessary for our national security and what is part of an outrageously 
bloated budget

[[Page H5556]]

that lines the pockets of defense contractors.
  So this amendment is an important step in accountability for the 
Pentagon spending. It is necessary for the department that cannot pass 
an audit. The American people deserve to know what their tax dollars 
are being spent on and not take it on blind faith that every dollar 
that is given to the Pentagon is a dollar that is protecting their 
safety.
  It is especially true for our overseas operations. We send our men 
and women in uniform abroad and they are separated from their families 
not just to win in wars but to man the bases we maintain in places like 
Germany, Japan, and Honduras. We need to be asking them to do that for 
a reason. This is why my amendment requires the Pentagon to justify 
national security benefits of overseas operations.
  So I ask my colleagues to join me in supporting this amendment and 
making sure that we have an accountability in how we spend our taxpayer 
dollars.
  Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. LAMBORN. Madam Chairman, I claim the time in opposition to the 
amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR (Ms. Moore). The gentleman from Colorado is 
recognized for 5 minutes.
  Mr. LAMBORN. Madam Chairman, there are a number of flaws with this 
amendment. I oppose it, and I would ask everyone to vote ``no'' on it.
  There are a number of reasons why this is not a good amendment. For 
one thing, what is being asked for in this amendment has already been 
done. I have some documents here I would like to show you.
  This is the defense budget overview. It goes into exhaustive detail, 
thousands of line items on where the Pentagon spending is going right 
now--domestic, foreign, everything.

                              {time}  2015

  This is available to all Members of Congress. This is the National 
Security Strategy, the National Defense Strategy, and just a smattering 
of other documents: the Missile Defense Review, the National Defense 
Strategy Commission, the Nuclear Posture Review. All of these documents 
do what is being asked for.
  So it is unnecessary. Any Member of Congress, even if they are not on 
the Armed Services Committee, can come to the committee, can ask the 
Pentagon, can ask staff on the committee for all of these documents. 
These are already available. So to ask the Pentagon to regurgitate this 
to us is just a big waste of their time and money.
  So for that reason, and there are other reasons also--I will see if 
there are any further arguments--this is unnecessary and wasteful, and 
I would urge a ``no'' vote.
  Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. OMAR. Madam Chair, may I inquire as to how much time I have 
remaining.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Minnesota has 2\1/2\ minutes 
remaining.
  Ms. OMAR. Madam Chair, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman from 
Washington (Mr. Smith), the distinguished chair.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Chair, I strongly support this 
amendment.
  The documents that the gentleman just pointed to don't even begin to 
scratch the surface of addressing the issue that the gentlewoman is 
raising. Those are very broad documents about where the Defense 
Department spends its money.
  And I am sure they mention in there--actually, I am not sure. They 
might mention in there exactly how much money they spend on overseas 
bases.
  Actually, I would be surprised if they outline all the overseas bases 
we have and what their purpose is, and that is what this amendment 
calls for. Not the broad strategy, but really how many bases do we 
have, how much money are we spending, and what do they all contribute 
to that national security policy.
  I have read through those documents. They do not have that type of 
detail. Yes, they point out, for instance, here is why we are in all 
the places that we are--in Asia, for instance--as we are trying to 
defend it, but they don't go through all the bases and say why this 
particular place, that particular place.
  We are overseas in a lot of places that many people are not aware of. 
It is not just the big ones that we are all aware of that would be 
contained in that. There are a lot of other places where we own 
property and maintain bases.
  And the gentlewoman is also correct that the inability of the 
Pentagon to audit--in fact, one of the things that the audit found is 
that the Pentagon doesn't actually know all of the property that they 
own--or they can't document it, at any rate.
  So getting this piece of it documented would be helpful and would 
begin to answer the question: Is that money well spent? Is that even 
advancing the policy that is outlined in all of those documents?
  So I think this is necessary, appropriate, and will be helpful in 
getting us to a more efficient defense budget.
  And, again, that is a major difference in our approach from the 
minority. We don't want to just give the Pentagon money. We want to 
make sure that they are accountable and spending it well.
  Mr. LAMBORN. Madam Chair, it is not even really easy or practical to 
do what the chairman and the sponsor of the amendment are just 
proposing. There is not a fine line between what is overseas and what 
is domestic. Let me give you an example.
  I have a brigade combat team from Fort Carson in my district that is 
now in Afghanistan. One of the things that is called for to be expensed 
in this report is training exercises.
  Okay. When the brigade combat team is in Fort Carson in Colorado 
training to go over to Afghanistan, at what point do you draw the line 
and say: Oh, that is domestic; everything beyond that is foreign?
  Is it when they step on the airplane?
  Is it when the airplane lands at Bagram in Afghanistan?
  Is it when they start doing live-fire exercises in Colorado?
  Where do you draw the line there?
  This is really not even a well-written amendment. It is very 
impractical.
  But the worst objection to this amendment is it abdicates 
responsibility. The chairman said let's have the Department tell us 
what they are doing. No, they tell us what they are doing, and we 
determine whether that is what they should be doing.
  This amendment is calling for the national security benefits to be 
told us by the Department of Defense. That is our oversight role as 
Congress. We oversee the Department of Defense. We determine if they 
are giving us the national security benefits that we tell them to give 
us.
  We don't tell them: Tell us what you are doing and tell us if what 
you are doing is okay and helpful. No, they tell us what they are 
doing. They specify, including the dollar amount, then we determine, 
with our oversight role, if that fulfills the national security 
purposes that they are supposed to be doing.
  The way this amendment is written, we are abdicating that 
responsibility to them. They are supposed to tell us what the benefits 
are of what we are doing. That is Congress' role. That is not their 
role to tell us. That is our role as oversight.
  For that reason alone, we should reject this amendment. It is an 
abdication of our responsibility.
  Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. OMAR. Madam Chair, I agree with my colleague: It is our 
responsibility to have oversight. That is simply what this amendment 
does. It makes sure that we have an understanding of what our money is 
being spent on and the benefits that that money will get us.
  We have to have a clear understanding of what the purposes are of the 
over 800 different military bases we have around the world and how much 
money it is costing us to continue to operate them. That is simply what 
we are asking for. That is what the American people want to know, and 
that is the kind of responsibility we shouldn't abdicate.

  So I want to make sure that we have a report that clearly lays out 
the kind of money that is being spent and the kind of benefits that we 
are getting for it.
  Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. LAMBORN. Madam Chair, may I inquire as to how much time is 
remaining.

[[Page H5557]]

  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Colorado has 1 minute remaining.
  Mr. LAMBORN. Madam Chair, I yield myself the balance of my time.
  Madam Chair, to conclude, let me offer this to every Member of 
Congress. Almost 300 pages, with thousands of line entries, of where 
every dollar in the Pentagon is going, we have this information right 
now. Why should they have to regurgitate that for us all over again?
  And then let's exercise our responsibility and not have them tell us 
if what they are doing fulfills national security. Tell us what you are 
doing, and then we will determine if that fulfills national security.
  So for all these reasons, Madam Chair, I would say because it is 
wasteful, it is duplicative, it is impractical, and it abdicates our 
responsibility, I would urge that we reject this amendment.
  The work has already been done. If anyone wants to show a little bit 
of initiative, they can get this information already. It is available. 
It is right here.
  Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the 
gentlewoman from Minnesota (Ms. Omar).
  The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes 
appeared to have it.
  Mr. LAMBORN. Madam Chair, 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 Minnesota 
will be postponed.


          Amendment No. 19 Offered by Mr. Smith of Washington

  The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 19 
printed in part B of House Report 116-143.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Chair, I have an amendment at the 
desk, which I am offering as the designee for the gentlewoman from 
Massachusetts (Ms. Clark).
  The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       At the end of subtitle H of title X, insert the following:

     SEC. 10__. CONTRACTS BY THE PRESIDENT OR VICE PRESIDENT.

       (a) Amendment.--Section 431 of title 18, United States 
     Code, is amended--
       (1) in the section heading, by inserting ``the President, 
     Vice President, Cabinet Member, or a'' after ``Contracts 
     by''; and
       (2) in the first undesignated paragraph, by inserting ``the 
     President, Vice President, or any Cabinet member'' after 
     ``Whoever, being''.
       (b) Table of Sections Amendment.--The table of sections for 
     chapter 23 of title 18, United States Code, is amended by 
     striking the item relating to section 431 and inserting the 
     following:

``431. Contracts by the President, Vice President, or a Member of 
              Congress.''.

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 476, the gentleman 
from Washington (Mr. Smith) and a Member opposed each will control 5 
minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Washington.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Chair, this amendment is very 
straightforward.
  Currently, all Members of Congress are prohibited from having 
contracts with the Federal Government, either way. In other words, if 
you are a Member of Congress, you own something, you can't lease it to 
the government, rent it to the government.
  Similarly, you cannot rent or lease something from the government 
for, I think, obvious reasons. As Members of Congress, we could 
potentially have undue influence. We could get a deal that other 
Members of the public could not get. Therefore, we would have an unfair 
advantage and be using our position as elected officials to enrich 
ourselves, which is supposed to be prohibited.
  This amendment is very straightforward. It adds the President, the 
Vice President, and Cabinet members to that list of people who cannot 
contract with the Federal Government, again, either the Federal 
Government leasing something to us or we leasing something back to the 
Federal Government that is owned, in this case, by the President, the 
Vice President, and members of the Cabinet.
  Because, again, particularly in the executive branch, they would 
actually have, in many ways, more control over this than a Member of 
Congress, who does not have the power over the assets that the 
President, the Vice President, and Cabinet members would.
  It prohibits them from doing that so that there are no ethical 
problems, so the President, Vice President, and Cabinet members cannot 
profit off of being in the office that they are in. This is part of the 
way we maintain a transparent and ethical government.
  I think it is a good amendment that will improve the ethics of our 
government, and I urge all Members to vote in favor.
  Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. HICE of Georgia. Madam Chair, I rise in opposition to the 
amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes.
  Mr. HICE of Georgia. Madam Chair, this amendment is nothing other 
than, once again, an attack on President Trump and his family.
  We have seen this time and time and time again from the Democrat 
majority. They are simply obsessed with President Trump. Instead of 
doing the hard work of governing, my colleagues on the other side of 
the aisle are continuing to waste our time here in Congress with their 
never-ending attempts to go after the President.
  And as it relates to this specific amendment, we have already seen 
this amendment. It was in H.R. 1, the so-called For the People Act, 
which passed the House here on a party-line vote. It was a bad idea 
then in March, and it is still a bad idea.
  If an incoming President, Vice President, or Cabinet member took 
office while owning a business that held a previously existing contract 
with the Federal Government, this amendment would criminally fine that 
individual after taking office. And since the President has not 
committed a crime under existing laws, this majority is considering 
making new crimes, again, in order to go after the President.
  How far will they go in their attempt to go after the President?
  But even if we ignore the reprehensible aspects of this bill, this 
amendment has real implications that go far beyond this administration. 
For example, we have seen, with this President, talented individuals 
with backgrounds in business, not politics, that can bring a refreshing 
change to the swamp here in Washington. But this amendment would drive 
qualified people away from public service by imposing more and more 
disincentives on individuals with actual, real-world experience.
  This amendment is nothing more than a weakly veiled attempt at 
harming this administration by trying to make new crimes out of 
business decisions that occurred long before the President took office.
  Madam Chair, I urge my colleagues to oppose this amendment, and I 
reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Chair, I yield myself such time as I 
may consume.
  This doesn't require someone to commit a crime. It requires you to 
divest of your interest if you move into this position, something 
which, by the way, all Members of Congress have to do.
  We are not permitted to have outside income over what we have as a 
Member of Congress. So if you are elected to Congress and you have 
another job, you have to leave that job; you have to let go of a 
particular business interest. That is part of public service.
  It does not require them to be criminalized. That is like saying 
having a law against taking bribes is criminalizing the elected 
official. Now, there is actually something you can do: Don't take the 
bribe, and you will be okay.
  As far as our ``obsession'' with the President, I couldn't help but 
laugh at the statement, ``instead of doing the hard work of 
governing.''
  I am counting how many hours I have slept over the course of the last 
month-and-a-half as we have worked to put together a nearly 2200-page 
bill that fully funds the Defense Department--sorry, in my opinion, 
fully funds the Defense Department--and all the amendments.
  Let me assure you, we are capable of doing both. We are capable of 
doing the hard work of government and actually trying to make sure that 
our elected officials are at least passingly ethical so that the 
American public doesn't think what they already think, which

[[Page H5558]]

is that too many people get elected simply to enrich themselves.
  This is not something new. We have a long list of ethics laws that 
restrict what you can do as an elected official or a member of 
government. I would hope that the gentleman is not suggesting that we 
shouldn't have that because it is somehow inconvenient.

                              {time}  2030

  I think it is incredibly important that we have ethical standards, 
that we make sure that elected officials are not able to enrich 
themselves based on being in the elected position that they are in.
  That is all this amendment does. It is targeting good government, 
which is part of our job.
  Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. HICE of Georgia. Madam Chair, I would remind my friend that the 
executive branch is already required to divest.
  As it relates to finding it laughable that I made a comment about the 
inability of the majority party to govern, I don't find that a laughing 
matter at all.
  Week after week--week after week after week right now--we are coming 
into this people's House, wasting time on messaging bills and 
amendments, as we are doing even right now, that have no chance of 
going anywhere.
  It is an absolute waste of time and continual evidence being proven 
right before us that this majority has lost its capacity to govern 
because of its obsession to go after this President. This amendment 
before us here is a clear example of yet another step in that 
direction. This is what it is.
  Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Chair, I yield myself the balance of 
my time.
  I don't know where the gentleman was over the course of the last 
month when we passed 10 appropriations bills and took hundreds of votes 
on the substantive business of funding the government. That is not a 
waste of time.
  I realize the Senate has decided that they are not going to do it, 
but it is our job to pass appropriations bills. That is what we did for 
the last month-plus.
  We are now working on the defense bill. I would trust the gentleman 
wouldn't think of that as a waste of time. It is incredibly important.
  We have passed an entire rewrite of the ethics laws for the United 
States House of Representatives. Whether you support it or not, it is 
certainly not a waste of time.
  We have passed countless other bills and important pieces of 
legislation.
  The Senate hasn't been doing much. I understand its rules are more 
complicated, so I am sympathetic, but we are working on the substantive 
ability to govern. We are doing it, even if the gentleman doesn't agree 
with the bills.
  This is where bipartisanship becomes difficult because as we do that, 
to have someone stand up and say that is not what government is 
supposed to be doing, I mean, what are we doing here? That is what we 
have been doing.
  Part of that should also be to have an ethical government; ethical 
elected Members of Congress; and ethical Presidents, Vice Presidents, 
and Cabinet members.
  As I have said, there are a bunch of rules governing that. This is 
one more that I think would help to make it appropriate.
  Madam Chair, I urge support for the amendment, and I yield back the

     SEC. 1075. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING MODULAR AIRBORNE FIRE 
                   FIGHTING SYSTEM; REPORT.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Congress established the Modular Airborne Fire Fighting 
     System (in this section referred to as ``MAFFS'') after 
     civilian fire fighting tanker fleets were overwhelmed by the 
     1970 Laguna Fire that killed eight individuals and destroyed 
     382 homes.
       (2) Air National Guard C-130 aircraft equipped with the 
     MAFFS provide emergency capability to supplement existing 
     commercial tanker support on wildland fires.
       (3) A MAFFS II unit can discharge its load of 3,000 gallons 
     of flame retardant in less than five seconds, covering an 
     area one-quarter of a mile long and 60 feet wide.
       (4) Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve units equipped 
     with MAFFS II have provided critical support in fire fighting 
     response efforts in recent years, including the Camp and 
     Woolsey Fires in November 2018.
       (5) The National Guard Bureau is currently developing a 
     replacement system to the current, aging fleet of MAFFS II 
     systems.
       (6) The current MAFFS II system requires significant 
     maintenance and repair, including deteriorating compression 
     systems, that could reduce MAFFS capability in as soon as two 
     years.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) MAFFS provides a necessary capability to support 
     national, State, and local fire fighting response efforts;
       (2) fire fighting response would be severely affected if 
     MAFFS II or replacement MAFFS systems were not available, 
     including reducing the number of sorties and drops planes can 
     fly during emergencies; and
       (3) the Department of Defense should use funding provided 
     under the National Guard and Reserve Equipment Account to 
     develop, sustain and maintain continued MAFFS capability, 
     including IMAFFS systems to replace the current fleet.
       (c) Report.--Not later than 90 days after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall submit 
     a report to the congressional defense committees regarding 
     plans of the Secretary to fund long-term sustainment and 
     operation and maintenance of MAFFS capabilities, including 
     plans for the National Guard Bureau to submit program 
     objective memoranda for funding for lifetime costs to the 
     Department of Defense to be included in future Department of 
     Defense Budget Requests, including the feasibility of 
     establishing a dedicated program-of-record.

     17, 2005, in

[[Page H5567]]

     Samarra, Iraq, during Operation Iraqi Freedom, when, as a 
     Sergeant First Class in Company A, 1st Battalion, 15th 
     Infantry Regiment, 3rd Infantry Division, with no regard to 
     his own safety or wellbeing, he repeatedly entered a burning 
     Bradley Fighting Vehicle after it struck an improvised 
     explosive device. While receiving small arms fire, he made 
     his first evacuation of his Soldiers. On his second 
     evacuation of Soldiers, his own fuel-soaked uniform caught on 
     fire, yet he returned to the burning Bradley Fighting Vehicle 
     for a third evacuation. Cashe, injured the worst of all 
     involved, with second- and third- degree burns over 72 
     percent of his body, still led recovery efforts and refused 
     medical evacuation until his men were evacuated to safety and 
     treatment. Cashe's actions saved the lives of six of his 
     Soldiers. Sergeant First Class Alwyn Cashe succumbed from his 
     wounds on November 8, 2005 at Brooks Army Medical Center, 
     Fort Sam Houston, San Antonio, Texas. He was posthumously 
     awarded the Silver Star for his heroism.
  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 476, the gentleman 
from Washington (Mr. Smith) and the gentleman from Texas (Mr. 
Thornberry) each will control 10 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Washington.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Chair, I don't have any speakers. We 
have been doing so many votes on the House floor that it appears we 
have worn down the Members of Congress. We don't have as many people 
over here to speak as we normally do on our en bloc packages.
  Madam Chair, I urge a ``yes'' vote on the en bloc package, and I 
yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. CONNOLLY. Madam Chair, the Merit Systems Protection Board is a 
small but mighty independent federal agency created by Congress to 
protect the merit system principles and to promote an effective federal 
workforce free of prohibited personnel practices.
  Typically, the Board is led by three presidentially-appointed and 
Senate confirmed members. However, the term for the last remaining 
Board member expired on March 1, 2018. That board member already 
extended his term in a holdover capacity, but was limited by statute to 
one year extension, meaning the Board has been without even a single 
Board member since March 2019.
  The Office of Special Counsel refers cases to the Board when it 
suspects a federal agency has performed an unfair or adverse action 
against a federal employee.
  The Board can then temporarily table the agency action while 
adjudicating the employee's claim.
  However, the Board can only table the action or adjudicate it if it 
has a quorum--or two members. As the Board currently sits, there are no 
confirmed members, and the Board has been without a quorum since 
January 7, 2017.
  This means that the Board cannot perform any of these actions to 
protect federal workers from agency actions that OSC deems suspect.
  This Amendment would provide urgent, temporary relief to 
whistleblowers while the Board waits for at least one appointee.
  My amendment would delegate temporary authority to the Board's 
general counsel to stay questionable personnel actions brought by 
agencies against whistleblowers. Under this provision, the Board could 
still act on egregious cases of suspected retaliation, even without any 
board members.
  The general counsel's authority would expire when a single Board 
member is confirmed by the Senate.
  This amendment is absolutely necessary to protect federal workers. 
And, needing this amendment was completely avoidable. Whistleblowers 
shouldn't be held hostage by the failures of the political system.
  This amendment would at a minimum keep the lights on for the Board. 
The general counsel would be authorized to prevent an agency from 
taking a retaliatory or prohibited personnel action against those who 
disclose wrongdoing.
  I held a hearing in February of this year to examine the effects on 
the Board because of the vacancies of two Board members and the 
potential ramifications if the final member left his post in March.
  This hearing followed my attempt to save the Board from going without 
leadership when the final Board member's term expired.
  With Chairman Cummings, I introduced legislation to prevent the Board 
from having no members. H.R. 1235, the MSPB Temporary Term Extension 
Act, would have provided a one-time, one-year extension to the final 
Board member's term. This measure passed the House, but the Senate 
refused to take it up.
  As a result, in June, I introduced H.R. 2530 to amend Title 5 to give 
the general counsel temporary stay authority, which the Committee on 
Oversight and Reform voice voted out of Committee.
  It is imperative that we preserve the importance and integrity of 
this vital Board. Passing this amendment means that the Board will be 
able to resume its work protecting whistleblowers more quickly.
  There is a lot at stake. The status quo is untenable.
  Federal employees deserve to have their appeals heard by the Board, 
and employees of the Board deserve to work at a fully functioning 
agency.
  Whistleblowers help hold leaders accountable, and we owe it to them 
to protect them from retaliation.
  Addressing this problem should be a bipartisan concern.
  I urge my colleagues to join me in supporting this amendment.
  Mr. CONNOLLY. Madam Chair, I rise today in support of this en bloc 
package of amendments to H.R. 2500, which includes my simple amendment 
that would require a report to Congress on those who have received 
security training from the United States and subsequently been 
sanctioned for human rights violations or terrorist activities.
  Security cooperation programs are a critical tool of U.S. foreign 
policy, especially as we increasingly rely on partner forces to protect 
U.S. national security interests.
  It is vital that we both thoroughly vet participants in our security 
cooperation programs, and ensure accountability after such training has 
been delivered.
  If recipients of U.S. security training go on to commit gross 
violations of human rights or acts of terrorism, then we need to know 
about it.
  My amendment would require the Secretaries of State and Defense to 
submit to Congress a report on each individual and security force unit 
that has received U.S. security training and been designated by the 
United States for human rights violations or terrorist activities at 
any point during the previous ten years.
  This reflection would yield key information helping us to ensure that 
U.S. security training programs are aligned with American values and 
that we are applying consistent standards regarding human rights.
  That is why I urge my colleagues to support my amendment to this bill 
and enhance Congress' ability to provide oversight and accountability 
of U.S. security cooperation programs.
  Mr. CASE. Madam Chair, I rise today in support of my amendment 
requesting the Department of Defense to assess the status of security 
cooperation and assistance with Pacific Island Countries and the 
feasibility of expanding it.
  The Department of Defense currently operates a Maritime Security 
Initiative in the South China Sea that works to build regional capacity 
to address a range of maritime challenges. This effort includes a wide 
range of assistance including International Military Education and 
Training, Foreign Military Financing, operations combating the 
narcotics trade, and the transfer of excess defense articles.
  Our nation launched this program, in part, to help check Chinese 
influence in the region. China provides its assistance without regard 
for America's principles for a free and open Indo-Pacific that has 
governed the region since the end of World War II.
  Given the rise of Chinese influence in the Pacific Island Countries, 
the question we have before us is can this program be replicated to 
help the island nations in the Pacific who are seeing a push by China 
to expand its influence into Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu, the Solomon 
Islands, Fiji, the Federated States of Micronesia, Palau, Kiribati, the 
Marshall Islands, Nauru, and Tonga. This Chinese influence threatens 
the blood, sweat, and treasure spent by our country during World War II 
in an effort to ensure freedom and the rule of law would thrive 
throughout the Indo-Pacific.
  My amendment takes the first step to see what can be done to protect 
these nations who share our values and are under pressure for Chinese 
influence. The amendment would direct the Defense Department to assess 
the current status of security cooperation and assistance with Pacific 
Island Countries and the feasibility of expanding it to advance our 
national security objectives in the Indo-Pacific.
  I urge support of my amendment to determine how to ensure our 
traditional allies in region have the tools and training needed to help 
America ensure a free and open Indo-Pacific.
  Mr. CASE. Madam Chair, I rise today in support of my amendment 
directing our military intelligence agencies to determine the degree of 
foreign influence in the Pacific Island Countries and to assess how to 
close any intelligence gaps our nation has in the region.
  Because my home state of Hawai`i is closer to Asia than Washington 
D.C., I have met with many leaders from the Pacific Island Countries, 
which includes Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu, the Solomon Islands, Fiji, 
the Federated States of Micronesia, Palau, Kiribati, the Marshall 
Islands, Nauru, and Tonga.
  Time and time again, I have heard stories of troubling Chinese 
influence in the region. Efforts to bribe senior government leaders.

[[Page H5568]]

Questionable foreign business investments near U.S. military 
installations, and even an effort that might have thrown a 
parliamentary government into crisis. We need our intelligence 
community to assess what is happening so we can determine how to 
respond.
  To address these threats, my straightforward amendment only asks for 
three things. First, the Defense Department would assess the actions of 
foreign militaries in the Pacific Island Countries. Second, the 
department would assess any gaps in our intelligence collection 
capabilities that may undermine this intelligence assessment, and 
third, the Defense Department would determine how to eliminate any gaps 
in our intelligence.
  With this information, we can fully assess what is happening in the 
Pacific Island Countries to and determine how we should respond to 
ensure that our partners in the region are not undermined by a foreign 
influence that is combating our nation's goal of ensuring a free and 
open Indo-Pacific.
  Mr. CASE. Madam Chair, I rise today in support of my amendment 
directing the Department of Defense to provide a report regarding the 
risks posed by non-military aircraft flying over our nation's military 
installations.
  Not unlike many other states, on the Island of Oahu in my home state 
of Hawaii we have multiple military installations situated near a major 
international airport and a large airport supporting general aviation.
  Although agreements have been made to help control this air traffic, 
on a regular basis these agreements are violated. For example, I have 
personally seen tour helicopters fly right over sensitive locations 
around Pearl Harbor, the home of the U.S. Pacific Fleet and Pacific Air 
Forces.
  My amendment seeks to achieve two commonsense steps to address the 
potential risks from these nonmilitary aircrafts operating near U.S. 
military installations. First, the Department of Defense will assess 
the encroachment challenges and security risks posed by non-military 
aircraft that fly over military installations, to include operational 
impacts, installation and personnel security and intelligence concerns. 
Second, the department would propose practicable strategies and 
recommendations for mitigating any significant risks.
  I urge my colleagues to support this amendment so we can start 
responding to encroachment and security risks from non-military 
aircraft today before waiting until an incident forces us to act 
because our nation's security and safety have been compromised.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendments en bloc offered 
by the gentleman from Washington (Mr. Smith).

       At the end of subtitle B of title II, add the following new 
     section:

     SEC. 2__. GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM MODERNIZATION.

       (a) Designation of Responsible Entity.--As part of the 
     efforts the Department of Defense with respect to GPS 
     military code (commonly known as ``M-code'') receiver card 
     acquisition planning, the Secretary of Defense shall

     and Timing Enterprise Oversight Council will collect

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 476, the gentleman 
from Washington (Mr. Smith) and the gentleman from Texas (Mr. 
Thornberry) each will control 10 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Washington.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Chair, I am pleased to yield 2 minutes 
to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Cuellar).
  Mr. CUELLAR. Madam Chair, I thank Chairman Smith and his staff for 
working with our office, and also the ranking member and his staff for 
working on making this a bipartisan amendment.
  I would like to speak about an amendment that will do a Western 
Hemisphere resource assessment.
  This amendment will require the Office of the Secretary of Defense to 
contract for an independent study on the sufficiency of U.S. resources 
in the Western Hemisphere by the Department of Defense, the Department 
of State, and the United States Agency for International Development. 
The purpose is for Congress to receive an unbiased view of all U.S. 
investments in the region.
  With ever-increasing investment by China, Iran, and Russia in the 
Latin American region, we must refocus our efforts with our southern 
neighbors. Russia is flying nuclear-capable bombers out of Venezuela, 
near our U.S. border. China intends on investing $250 billion in Latin 
America by 2025. A new study also has shown that China has become more 
popular than the United States in many of the Latin American countries.
  The United States must remain vigilant in Latin America and help the 
region from succumbing to Chinese, Russian, and Iranian influences.
  Again, this Western Hemisphere resource assessment is the first step 
in helping refocus U.S. efforts in the region, and I ask my colleagues 
to support this amendment and the en bloc amendment.
  Madam Chair, I thank Chairman Smith and his staff, and the ranking 
member and his staff, for allowing this amendment to be part of the en 
bloc, and I urge my colleagues to support this.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Madam Chair, I have no requests for time, and I yield 
back the balance of my time.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Chair, I have no further requests for 
time. I urge a ``yes'' vote on en bloc package No. 4, and I yield back 
the balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendments en bloc offered 
by the gentleman from Washington (Mr. Smith).
  The en bloc amendments were agreed to.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Chair, I move that the Committee do 
now rise.
  The motion was agreed to.
  Accordingly, the Committee rose; and the Speaker pro tempore (Mr. 
Cuellar) having assumed the chair, Ms. Moore, 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. 2500) to 
authorize appropriations for fiscal year 2020 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.
