  Mr. PETERSON. Madam Speaker, it was my intention to vote Nay on the 
Torres of California Part B Amendment No. 10 (Roll Call Vote No. 442) 
to H.R. 2500, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
2020.
  I would like to reflect my opposition to Ms. Torres' amendment to 
prohibit the administration from transferring oversight of export for 
some types of firearms, ammunition and related items from the U.S. 
Munitions List under the State Department's International Traffic In 
Arms Regulations to the Commerce Control List, under the Commerce 
Department's Export Administration Regulations.
