     U.S.C. 279(g)(2))) in any facility that is not State-licensed 
     for the care of unaccompanied alien children, except in the 
     case that the Secretary determines that housing unaccompanied 
     alien children in such a facility is necessary on a temporary 
     basis due to an influx of such children or an emergency, 
     provided that--
       (1) the terms of the grant or contract for the operations 
     of any such facility that remains in operation for more than 
     six consecutive months shall require compliance with--
       (A) the same requirements as licensed placements, as listed 
     in Exhibit 1 of the Flores Settlement Agreement that the 
     Secretary determines are applicable to non-State licensed 
     facilities; and
       (B) staffing ratios of one (1) on-duty Youth Care Worker 
     for every eight (8) children or youth during waking hours, 
     one (1) on-duty Youth Care Worker for every sixteen (16) 
     children or youth during sleeping hours, and clinician ratios 
     to children (including mental health providers) as required 
     in grantee cooperative agreements;
       (2) the Secretary may grant a 60-day waiver for a 
     contractor's or grantee's non-compliance with paragraph (1) 
     if the Secretary certifies and provides a report to Congress 
     on the contractor's or grantee's good-faith efforts and 
     progress towards compliance;
       (3) not more than four consecutive waivers under paragraph 
     (2) may be granted to a contractor or grantee with respect to 
     a specific facility;
       (4) ORR shall ensure full adherence to the monitoring 
     requirements set forth in section 5.5 of its Policies and 
     Procedures Guide as of May 15, 2019;
       (5) for any such unlicensed facility in operation for more 
     than three consecutive months, ORR shall conduct a minimum of 
     one comprehensive monitoring visit during the first three 
     months of operation, with quarterly monitoring visits 
     thereafter; and
       (6) not later than 60 days after the date of enactment of 
     this Act, ORR shall brief the Committees on Appropriations of 
     the House of Representatives and the Senate outlining the 
     requirements of ORR for influx facilities including any 
     requirement listed in paragraph (1)(A) that the Secretary has 
     determined are not applicable to non-State licensed 
     facilities.
       Sec. 233.  In addition to the existing Congressional 
     notification for formal site assessments of potential influx 
     facilities, the Secretary shall notify the Committees on 
     Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate 
     at least 15 days before operationalizing an unlicensed 
     facility, and shall (1) specify whether the facility is hard-
     sided or soft-sided, and (2) provide analysis that indicates 
     that, in the absence of the influx facility, the likely 
     outcome is that unaccompanied alien children will remain in 
     the custody of the Department of Homeland Security for longer 
     than 72 hours or that unaccompanied alien children will be 
     otherwise placed in danger. Within 60 days of bringing such a 
     facility online, and monthly thereafter, the Secretary shall 
     provide to the Committees on Appropriations of the House of 
     Representatives and the Senate a report detailing the total 
     number of children in care at the facility, the average 
     length of stay and average length of care of children at the 
     facility, and, for any child that has been at the facility 
     for more than 60 days, their length of stay and reason for 
     delay in release.
       Sec. 234.  None of the funds made available in this Act may 
     be used to prevent a United States Senator or Member of the 
     House of Representatives from entering, for the purpose of 
     conducting oversight, any facility in the United States used 
     for the purpose of maintaining custody of, or otherwise 
     housing, unaccompanied alien children (as defined in section 
     462(g)(2) of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (6 U.S.C. 
     279(g)(2))), provided that such Senator or Member has 
     coordinated the oversight visit with the Office of Refugee 
     Resettlement not less than two business days in advance to 
     ensure that such visit would not interfere with the 
     operations (including child welfare and child safety 
     operations) of such facility.
       Sec. 235.  Not later than 14 days after the date of 
     enactment of this Act, and monthly thereafter, the Secretary 
     shall submit to the Committees on Appropriations of the House 
     of Representatives and the Senate, and make publicly 
     available online, a report with respect to children who were 
     separated from their parents or legal guardians by the 
     Department of Homeland Security (DHS) (regardless of whether 
     or not such separation was pursuant to an option selected by 
     the children, parents, or guardians), subsequently classified 
     as unaccompanied alien children, and transferred to the care 
     and custody of ORR during the previous month. Each report 
     shall contain the following information:
       (1) the number and ages of children so separated subsequent 
     to apprehension at or between ports of entry, to be reported 
     by sector where separation occurred; and
       (2) the documented cause of separation, as reported by DHS 
     when each child was referred.

     available for salaries and expenses of employees of the 
     Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shall also be 
     available for the primary and secondary schooling of eligible 
     dependents of personnel stationed in a U.S. territory as

     product would assist directly and significantly in reducing 
     the adverse impact of such shortage, the Secretary of Energy 
     may draw down and sell refined petroleum product from the 
     Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Proceeds from a sale under this 
     section shall be deposited into the SPR Petroleum Account

     Programs--Non-Defense Environmental Cleanup'' as 
     discretionary offsetting collections.
       Sec. 310.  During fiscal year 2020 and each fiscal year 
     thereafter, notwithstanding any provision of title 5, United 
     States Code, relating to classification or rates of pay, the

     or the government-to-government relationship between the 
     United States and that tribe, or that tribe's ability to 
     access future appropriations.

     that the Secretary of the Interior may waive this prohibition 
     to support expansion of up to one additional grade when the

     Education, or more than one grade to expand the elementary 
     grade structure for Bureau-funded schools with a K-2 grade 
     structure on October 1, 1996. Appropriations made available

     school loses such funding. Employees of Bureau-funded schools 
     sharing a campus with a charter school and performing 
     functions related to the charter school's operation and 
     employees of a charter school shall not be treated as Federal 
     employees for purposes of chapter 171 of title 28, United 
     States Code.

     section 113 of title I of appendix C of Public Law 106-113, 
     if in fiscal year 2003 or 2004 a grantee received indirect 
     and administrative costs pursuant to a distribution formula 
     based on section 5(f) of Public Law 101-301, the Secretary

     not include grades beyond those currently served at the 
     existing Bureau-funded school, provide an educational 
     environment with educator presence and academic facilities 
     comparable to the Bureau-funded school, comply with all 
     applicable Tribal, Federal, or State health and safety 
     standards, and the Americans with Disabilities Act, and 
     demonstrate the benefits of establishing operations at a 
     satellite location in lieu of incurring extraordinary costs, 
     such as for transportation or other impacts to students such 
     as those caused by busing students extended distances:  
     Provided, That no funds available under this Act may be used 
     to fund operations, maintenance, rehabilitation, construction 
     or other facilities-related costs for such assets that are 
     not owned by the Bureau:  Provided further, That the term 
     ``satellite school'' means a school location physically 
     separated from the existing Bureau school by more than 50 
     miles but that forms part of the existing school in all other 
     respects.
       Funds made available for Tribal Priority Allocations within 
     Operation of Indian Programs and Operation of Indian 
     Education Programs may be used to execute requested

     arrangement that is providing substantial reimbursement of 
     such taxes; or

     assistance provided under that agreement.
       (2) Taxes and taxation.--The term ``taxes and taxation'' 
     shall include value added taxes and customs duties but shall

     reprogramming shall be subject to the regular notification

     any other Act may be extended for an additional fiscal year 
     if the Secretary of State or the USAID Administrator, as 
     appropriate, determines and reports promptly to the 
     Committees on Appropriations that the termination of 
     assistance to a country or a significant change in 
     circumstances makes it unlikely that such designated funds 
     can be obligated during the original period of availability:  
     Provided, That such designated funds that continue to be 
     available for an additional fiscal year shall be obligated 
     only for the purpose of such designation.

     their neighbor Israel;
       (4) the President and the Secretary of State should 
     continue to vigorously oppose the Arab League boycott of 
     Israel and find concrete steps to demonstrate that opposition 
     by, for example, taking into consideration the participation 
     of any recipient country in the boycott when determining to 
     sell weapons to said country; and
       (5) the President should report to Congress annually on 
     specific steps being taken by the United States to encourage

     allocation:  Provided further, That the Secretary shall use

     experienced increased costs or loss of units in an area for 
     which the President declared a disaster under title IV of the 
     Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance

     for rental assistance payments under section 8 of the United

     payments under section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 
     1937 and other programs that are attached to any dwelling

     government, that such a multifamily property owned or held by 
     the Secretary is not feasible for continued rental assistance 
     payments under such section 8 or other programs, based on

     operating the property and all available Federal, State, and 
     local resources, including rent adjustments under section 524 
     of the Multifamily Assisted Housing Reform and Affordability 
     Act of 1997 (``MAHRAA'') (42 U.S.C. 1437f note) and (2)

     the tenants of that property, contract for project-based 
     rental assistance payments with an owner or owners of other 
     existing housing properties, or provide other rental 
     assistance. The Secretary shall also take appropriate steps 
     to ensure that project-based contracts remain in effect prior 
     to foreclosure, subject to the exercise of contractual 
     abatement remedies to assist relocation of tenants for 
     imminent major threats to health and safety after written 
     notice to and informed consent of the affected tenants and 
     use of other available remedies, such as partial abatements 
     or receivership. After disposition of any multifamily 
     property described under this section, the contract and 
     allowable rent levels on such properties shall be subject to 
     the requirements under section 524 of MAHRAA.
       Sec. 213.  Public housing agencies that own and operate 400

     sections 9(d) and 9(e) of the United States Housing Act of 
     1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437g(d) and (e)), the Secretary shall not 
     impose any requirement or guideline relating to asset 
     management that restricts or limits in any way the use of 
     capital funds for central office costs pursuant to section 
     9(g)(1) or 9(g)(2) of the United States Housing Act of 1937 
     (42 U.S.C. 1437g(g)(1), (2)):  Provided, That a public 
     housing agency may not use capital funds authorized under 
     section 9(d) for activities that are eligible under section 
     9(e) for assistance with amounts from the operating fund in 
     excess of the amounts permitted under section 9(g)(1) or 
     9(g)(2).
       Sec. 215.  No official or employee of the Department of 
     Housing and Urban Development shall be designated as an 
     allotment holder unless the Office of the Chief Financial 
     Officer has determined that such allotment holder has 
     implemented an adequate system of funds control and has 
     received training in funds control procedures and directives. 
     The Chief Financial Officer shall ensure that there is a 
     trained allotment holder for each HUD appropriation under the 
     accounts ``Executive Offices'', ``Administrative Support 
     Offices'', ``Program Offices'', ``Government National 
     Mortgage Association--Guarantees of Mortgage-Backed 
     Securities Loan Guarantee Program Account'', and ``Office of 
     Inspector General'' within the Department of Housing and 
     Urban Development.

     Urban Development shall, for fiscal year 2020, notify the

     availability of assistance or notice of funding availability 
     (NOFA) for any program or discretionary fund administered by 
     the Secretary that is to be competitively awarded. 
     Notwithstanding any other provision of law, for fiscal year 
     2020, the Secretary may make the NOFA available only on the

       Sec. 217.  Payment of attorney fees in program-related 
     litigation shall be paid from the individual program office 
     and Office of General Counsel salaries and expenses 
     appropriations. The annual budget submission for the program 
     offices and the Office of General Counsel shall include any 
     such projected litigation costs for attorney fees as a 
     separate line item request. No funds provided in this title 
     may be used to pay any such litigation costs for attorney 
     fees until the Department submits for review a spending plan 
     for such costs to the House and Senate Committees on 
     Appropriations.
       Sec. 218.  The Secretary is authorized to transfer up to 10 
     percent or $5,000,000, whichever is less, of funds 
     appropriated for any office under the headings 
     ``Administrative Support Offices'' or ``Program Offices'' to 
     any other such office or account:  Provided, That no 
     appropriation for any such office or account shall be 
     increased or decreased by more than 10 percent or $5,000,000, 
     whichever is less, without prior written approval of the 
     House and Senate Committees on Appropriations:  Provided 
     further, That the Secretary shall provide notification to

     whichever is less.

     payments shall maintain decent, safe, and sanitary 
     conditions, as determined by the Secretary of Housing and 
     Urban Development (in this section referred to as the 
     ``Secretary''), and comply with any standards under 
     applicable State or local laws, rules, ordinances, or 
     regulations relating to the physical condition of any 
     property covered under a housing assistance payment contract.
       (b) The Secretary shall take action under subsection (c) 
     when a multifamily housing project with a section 8 contract 
     or contract for similar project-based assistance--
       (1) receives a Uniform Physical Condition Standards (UPCS) 
     score of 60 or less; or
       (2) fails to certify in writing to the Secretary within 3 
     days that all Exigent Health and Safety deficiencies 
     identified by the inspector at the project have been 
     corrected.
     Such requirements shall apply to insured and noninsured 
     projects with assistance attached to the units under section 
     8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437f), 
     but do not apply to such units assisted under section 
     8(o)(13) (42 U.S.C. 1437f(o)(13)) or to public housing units 
     assisted with capital or operating funds under section 9 of 
     the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437g).
       (c)(1) Within 15 days of the issuance of the REAC 
     inspection, the Secretary must provide the owner with a 
     Notice of Default with a specified timetable, determined by 
     the Secretary, for correcting all deficiencies. The Secretary 
     must also provide a copy of the Notice of Default to the 
     tenants, the local government, any mortgagees, and any 
     contract administrator. If the owner's appeal results in a 
     UPCS score of 60 or above, the Secretary may withdraw the 
     Notice of Default.
       (2) At the end of the time period for correcting all 
     deficiencies specified in the Notice of Default, if the owner

       (A) require immediate replacement of project management 
     with a management agent approved by the Secretary;
       (B) impose civil money penalties, which shall be used

     offered;

     the Secretary determines, in consultation with the tenants 
     and the local government, that the property is not feasible 
     for continued rental assistance payments under such section 8 
     or other programs, based on consideration of--
       (1) the costs of rehabilitating and operating the property 
     and all available Federal, State, and local resources,

     Multifamily Assisted Housing Reform and Affordability Act of 
     1997 (``MAHRAA''); and

     cost-effective fashion, the Secretary may contract for 
     project-based rental assistance payments with an owner or 
     owners of other existing housing properties, or provide other

     management and occupancy review within the past 36 months. 
     The report shall include--
       (1) the enforcement actions being taken to address such 
     conditions, including imposition of civil money penalties and 
     termination of subsidies, and identify properties that have 
     such conditions multiple times;
       (2) actions that the Department of Housing and Urban 
     Development is taking to protect tenants of such identified 
     properties; and

       (1) Venezuela's electoral event on May 20, 2018 was 
     characterized by widespread fraud and did not comply with 
     international standards for a free, fair, and transparent 
     electoral process.
       (2) Given the fraudulent nature of Venezuela's May 20, 2018 
     electoral event, Nicolas Maduro's tenure as President of 
     Venezuela ended on January 10, 2019.
       (3) The National Assembly of Venezuela approved a 
     resolution on January 15, 2019 that terminated Nicolas 
     Maduro's authority as the President of Venezuela.

     Government, more than 50 governments around the world, the 
     Organization of American States, the Inter-American 
     Development Bank, and the European Parliament to recognize 
     National Assembly President Juan Guaido as the Interim 
     President of Venezuela;
       (2) to encourage the Interim President of Venezuela to 
     advance efforts to hold democratic presidential elections in 
     the shortest possible period; and
       (3) that the Organization of American States, with support 
     from the United States Government and partner governments, 
     should provide diplomatic, technical, and financial support 
     for a new presidential election in Venezuela that complies 
     with international standards for a free, fair, and

     National Assembly convened on January 6, 2016, following 
     democratic elections that were held on December 6, 2015.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     Venezuela's democratically elected National Assembly is the 
     only national level democratic institution remaining in the 
     country.
       (c) Policy.--It is the policy of the United States to 
     recognize the democratically elected National Assembly of

     SEC. 163. CONCERNS OVER PDVSA TRANSACTIONS WITH ROSNEFT.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) In late 2016, Venezuelan state-owned oil company 
     Petroleos de Venezuela, S.A. (referred to in this section as 
     ``PDVSA''), through a no compete transaction, secured a loan 
     from Russian government-controlled oil company Rosneft, using 
     49.9 percent of PDVSA's American subsidiary, CITGO Petroleum 
     Corporation, including its assets in the United States, as 
     collateral. As a result of this transaction, 100 percent of 
     CITGO is held as collateral by PDVSA's creditors.
       (2) CITGO, a wholly owned subsidiary of PDVSA, is engaged 
     in interstate commerce and owns and controls critical energy 
     infrastructure in 19 States of the United States, including 
     an extensive network of pipelines, 48 terminals, and 3 
     refineries, with a combined oil refining capacity of 749,000 
     barrels per day. CITGO's refinery in Lake Charles, Louisiana, 
     is the sixth largest refinery in the United States.
       (3) The Department of the Treasury imposed sanctions on 
     Rosneft, which is controlled by the Government of the Russian 
     Federation, and its Executive Chairman, Igor Sechin, 
     following Russia's military invasion of Ukraine and its 
     illegal annexation of Crimea in 2014.
       (4) The Department of Homeland Security has designated the 
     energy sector as critical to United States infrastructure.
       (5) The growing economic crisis in Venezuela raises the 
     probability that the Maduro regime and PDVSA will default on 
     their international debt obligations, resulting in a scenario 
     in which Rosneft could come into control of CITGO's United 
     States energy infrastructure holdings.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) control of critical United States energy infrastructure 
     by Rosneft, a Russian government-controlled entity currently 
     under United States sanctions that is led by Igor Sechin, who 
     is also under United States sanctions and is a close 
     associate of Vladimir Putin, would pose a significant risk to 
     United States national security and energy security; and
       (2) a default by PDVSA on its loan from Rosneft, resulting 
     in Rosneft coming into possession of PDVSA's United States 
     CITGO assets, would warrant careful consideration by the 
     Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States.
       (c) Preventing Rosneft From Controlling United States 
     Energy Infrastructure.--The President shall take all 
     necessary steps to prevent Rosneft from gaining control of 
     critical United States energy infrastructure.
       (d) Security Risk Report.--Not later than 90 days after the 
     date of the enactment of this Act, the President shall submit 
     a report assessing the national security risks posed by 
     potential Russian acquisition and control of CITGO's United 
     States energy infrastructure holdings to--
       (1) the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate;
       (2) the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental 
     Affairs of the Senate;

    TITLE II--EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN SECURITY AND ENERGY PARTNERSHIP

     SEC. 201. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``Eastern Mediterranean 
     Security and Energy Partnership Act of 2019''.

     SEC. 202. FINDINGS.

       Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The security of partners and allies in the Eastern 
     Mediterranean region is critical to the security of the 
     United States and Europe.
       (2) Greece is a valuable member of the North Atlantic 
     Treaty Organization (NATO) and a key pillar of stability in 
     the Eastern Mediterranean.
       (3) Israel is a steadfast ally of the United States and has 
     been designated a ``major non-NATO ally'' and ``major 
     strategic partner''.
       (4) Cyprus is a key strategic partner and signed a 
     Statement of Intent with the United States on November 6, 
     2018, to enhance bilateral security cooperation.
       (5) The countries of Greece, Cyprus, and Israel have 
     participated in critical trilateral summits to improve 
     cooperation on energy and security issues.
       (6) Secretary of State Mike Pompeo participated in the 
     trilateral summit among Israel, Greece, and Cyprus on March 
     20, 2019.
       (7) The United States, Israel, Greece, and Cyprus oppose 
     any action in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Aegean Sea 
     that could challenge stability, violate international law, or 
     undermine good neighborly relations, and in a joint 
     declaration on March 21, 2019, agreed to ``defend against 
     external malign influences in the Eastern Mediterranean and 
     the broader Middle East''.
       (8) The recent discovery of what may be the region's 
     largest natural gas field off the Egyptian coast and the 
     newest discoveries of natural gas off the coast of Cyprus 
     could represent a significant and positive development for 
     the Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East, enhancing the 
     region's strategic energy significance.
       (9) It is in the national security interest of the United 
     States to promote, achieve, and maintain energy security 
     among, and through cooperation with, allies.
       (10) Natural gas developments in the Eastern Mediterranean 
     have the potential to provide economic gains and contribute 
     to energy security in the region and Europe, as well as 
     support European efforts to diversify away from natural gas 
     supplied by the Russian Federation.
       (11) The soon to be completed Trans Adriatic Pipeline is a 
     critical component of the Southern Gas Corridor and the 
     European Union's efforts to diversify energy resources.
       (12) The proposed Eastern Mediterranean pipeline, if 
     commercially viable, would provide for energy diversification 
     in accordance with the European Union's third energy package 
     of reforms.
       (13) The United States acknowledges the achievements and 
     importance of the Binational Industrial Research and 
     Development Foundation (BIRD) and the United States-Israel 
     Binational Science Foundation (BSF) and supports continued 
     multiyear funding to ensure the continuity of the programs of 
     the Foundations.
       (14) The United States has welcomed Greece's allocation of 
     2 percent of its gross domestic product (GDP) to defense in 
     accordance with commitments made at the 2014 NATO Summit in 
     Wales.
       (15) Energy exploration in the Eastern Mediterranean region 
     must be safeguarded against threats posed by terrorist and 
     extremist groups, including Hezbollah and any other actor in 
     the region.
       (16) The energy exploration in the Republic of Cyprus's 
     Exclusive Economic Zone and territorial waters--
       (A) furthers United States interests by providing a 
     potential alternative to Russian gas for United States allies 
     and partners; and
       (B) should not be impeded by other sovereign states.

[[Page H10534]]

       (17) The United States Government cooperates closely with 
     Cyprus, Greece, and Israel through information sharing 
     agreements.
       (18) United States officials have assisted the Government 
     of the Republic of Cyprus with crafting that nation's 
     national security strategy.
       (19) The United States Government provides training to 
     Cypriot officials in areas such as cybersecurity, 
     counterterrorism, and explosive ordnance disposal and 
     stockpile management.
       (20) Israel, Greece, and Cyprus are valued members of the 
     Proliferation Security Initiative to combat the trafficking 
     of weapons of mass destruction.
       (21) The Republic of Cyprus continues to work closely with 
     the United Nations and regional partners in Europe to combat 
     terrorism and violent extremism.
       (22) Despite robust economic and security relations with 
     the United States, the Republic of Cyprus has been subject to 
     a United States prohibition on the export of defense articles 
     and services since 1987.
       (23) The 1987 arms prohibition was designed to restrict 
     United States arms sales and transfers to the Republic of 
     Cyprus and the occupied part of Cyprus to avoid hindering 
     reunification efforts.
       (24) At least 40,000 Turkish troops are stationed in the 
     occupied part of Cyprus with some weapons procured from the 
     United States through mainland Turkey.
       (25) While the United States has, as a matter of policy, 
     avoided the provision of defense articles and services to the 
     Republic of Cyprus, the Government of Cyprus has, in the 
     past, sought to obtain defense articles from other countries, 
     including countries, such as Russia, that pose challenges to 
     United States interests around the world.

     SEC. 203. STATEMENT OF POLICY.

       It is the policy of the United States--
       (1) to continue to actively participate in the trilateral 
     dialogue on energy, maritime security, cybersecurity and 
     protection of critical infrastructure conducted among Israel, 
     Greece, and Cyprus;
       (2) to support diplomatic efforts with partners and allies 
     to deepen energy security cooperation among Greece, Cyprus, 
     and Israel and to encourage the private sector to make 
     investments in energy infrastructure in the Eastern 
     Mediterranean region;
       (3) to strongly support the completion of the Trans 
     Adriatic and Eastern Mediterranean Pipelines and the 
     establishment of liquified natural gas (LNG) terminals across 
     the Eastern Mediterranean as a means of diversifying regional 
     energy needs away from the Russian Federation;
       (4) to maintain a robust United States naval presence and 
     investments in the naval facility at Souda Bay, Greece and 
     develop deeper security cooperation with Greece to include 
     the recent MQ-9 deployments to the Larissa Air Force Base and 
     United States Army helicopter training in central Greece;
       (5) to welcome Greece's commitment to move forward with the 
     Interconnector Greece-Bulgaria (IGB pipeline) and additional 
     LNG terminals that will help facilitate delivery of non-
     Russian gas to the Balkans and central Europe;
       (6) to support deepened security cooperation with the 
     Republic of Cyprus through the removal of the arms embargo on

       (9) to support efforts to counter Russian Federation 
     interference and influence in the Eastern Mediterranean 
     through increased security cooperation with Greece, Cyprus, 
     and Israel, to include intelligence sharing, cyber, and 
     maritime domain awareness;
       (10) to support the Republic of Cyprus' efforts to regulate 
     its banking industry to ensure that it is not used as a 
     source of international money laundering and encourage 
     additional measures toward that end;
       (11) to strongly oppose any actions that would trigger 
     mandatory sanctions pursuant to section 231 of the Countering 
     America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA) (Public 
     Law 115-44), to include the purchase of military equipment 
     from the Russian Federation;
       (12) to continue robust official strategic engagement with 
     Israel, Greece, and Cyprus;
       (13) to urge countries in the region to deny port services 
     to Russian Federation vessels deployed to support the 
     government of Bashar Al-Assad in Syria;
       (14) to support joint military exercises among Israel, 
     Greece, and Cyprus;
       (15) to fully implement relevant CAATSA provisions to 
     prevent interference by the Russian Federation in the region;
       (16) to support efforts by countries in the region to 
     demobilize military equipment supplied by the Russian 
     Federation in favor of equipment provided by NATO and NATO-
     allied member countries; and
       (17) to strongly support the active and robust 
     participation of Israel, Cyprus, and Greece in the Combating 
     Terrorism Fellowship Program.

     of the Republic of Cyprus on other countries, including 
     countries that pose challenges to United States interests 
     around the world, for defense-related materiel; and
       (2) it is in the interest of the United States to continue

     SEC. 304. EXPANSION OF UNITED STATES AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL 
                   DEVELOPMENT NEGLECTED TROPICAL DISEASES 
                   PROGRAM.

       (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     the Neglected Tropical Diseases Program, as in effect on the 
     date of the enactment of this Act, should--
       (1) provide integrated drug treatment packages to as many 
     individuals suffering from NTDs or at risk of acquiring NTDs, 
     including individuals displaced by manmade and natural 
     disasters, as logistically feasible;
       (2) better integrate NTD control and treatment tools and 
     approaches into complementary development and global health 
     programs by coordinating, to the extent practicable and 
     appropriate, across multiple sectors, including those 
     relating to HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, education, 
     nutrition, other infectious diseases, maternal and child 
     health, and water, sanitation, and hygiene;
       (3) establish low-cost, high-impact community- and school-
     based NTD programs to reach large at-risk populations, 
     including school-age children, with integrated drug treatment 
     packages, as feasible;
       (4) as opportunities emerge and resources allow, engage in 
     research and development of new tools and approaches to reach 
     the goals relating to the elimination of NTDs as set forth by 
     the 2012 World Health Organization publication ``Accelerating 
     Work to Overcome the Global Impact of Neglected Tropical 
     Diseases: A Roadmap for Implementation'', including for 
     Chagas disease, Guinea worm, human African trypanosomiasis 
     (sleeping sickness), leprosy, and visceral leishmaniasis; and
       (5) monitor research on and developments in the prevention 
     and treatment of other NTDs so breakthroughs can be 
     incorporated into the Neglected Tropical Diseases Program, as 
     practicable and appropriate.
       (b) Program Priorities.--The Administrator of the United 
     States Agency for International Development (referred to in 
     this section as the ``Administrator'') should incorporate the 
     following priorities into the Neglected Tropical Diseases 
     Program (as in effect on the date of the enactment of this 
     Act):
       (1) Planning for and conducting robust monitoring and 
     evaluation of program investments in order to accurately 
     measure impact, identify and share lessons learned, and 
     inform future NTD control and elimination strategies.
       (2) Coordinating program activities with complementary 
     development and global health programs of the United States 
     Agency for International Development, including programs 
     relating to water, sanitation, and

[[Page H10536]]

     hygiene, food and nutrition security, and education (both 
     primary and secondary), in order to advance the goals of the 
     London Declaration on Neglected Tropical Diseases (2012).
       (3) Including morbidity management in treatment plans for 
     high-burden NTDs.
       (4) Incorporating NTDs included in the Global Burden of 
     Disease Study 2010 into the program as opportunities emerge, 
     to the extent practicable and appropriate.
       (5) Continuing investments in the research and development 
     of new tools and approaches that complement existing research 
     investments and ensure that new discoveries make it through 
     the pipeline and become available to individuals who need 
     them most.

     SEC. 305. ACTIONS BY DEPARTMENT OF STATE.

       (a) Office of the Global AIDS Coordinator.--It is the sense 
     of Congress that the Coordinator of United States Government 
     Activities to Combat HIV/AIDS Globally should fully consider 
     evolving research on the impact of NTDs on efforts to control 
     HIV/AIDS when making future programming decisions, as 
     necessary and appropriate.
       (b) Global Programming.--
       (1) In general.--The Secretary of State should encourage 
     the Global Fund to take into consideration evolving research 
     on the impact of NTDs on efforts to control HIV/AIDS when 
     making programming decisions, particularly with regard to 
     female genital schistosomiasis, which studies suggest may be 
     one of the most significant cofactors in the AIDS epidemic in 
     Africa, as necessary and appropriate.
       (2) Global fund.--In this subsection, the term ``Global 
     Fund'' means the public-private partnership known as the 
     Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria 
     established pursuant to Article 80 of the Swiss Civil Code.
       (c) G-20 Countries.--The Secretary of State, acting through 
     the Office of Global Health Diplomacy, should encourage G-20 
     countries to significantly increase their role in the control 
     and elimination of NTDs.

     SEC. 306. MULTILATERAL DEVELOPMENT AND HEALTH INSTITUTIONS.

       (a) Finding.--Congress finds that the treatment of NTDs, 
     including community- and school-based deworming programs, can 
     be a highly cost-effective intervention, and schools can 
     serve as an effective delivery mechanism for reaching large 
     numbers of children with safe treatment for soil-transmitted 
     helminthiases (roundworm, whipworm, and hookworm) in 
     particular.
       (b) United Nations.--The President should direct the United 
     States Permanent Representative to the United Nations to use 
     the voice, vote, and influence of the United States to urge 
     the World Health Organization and the United Nations 
     Development Programme to--
       (1) ensure the dissemination of best practices and 
     programming on NTDs to governments and make data accessible 
     to practitioners in an open and timely fashion;
       (2) highlight impacts of community- and school-based 
     deworming programs on children's health and education, 
     emphasizing the cost-effectiveness of such programs;
       (3) encourage governments to implement deworming campaigns 
     at the national level;
       (4) consider the designation of a portion of grant funds of 
     the institutions to deworming initiatives and cross-sectoral 
     collaboration with water, sanitation, and hygiene efforts and 
     nutrition or education programming, as practicable and 
     appropriate;
       (5) encourage accurate monitoring and evaluation of NTD 
     programs, including deworming programs; and
       (6) engage governments in cross-border initiatives for the 
     treatment, control, prevention, and elimination of NTDs, and 
     assist in developing transnational agreements, when and where 
     necessary.

     SEC. 307. RULE OF CONSTRUCTION.

       Nothing in this title may be construed to increase 
     authorizations of appropriations for the United States Agency 
     for International Development.

      TITLE IV--PREVENTING CHILD MARRIAGE IN DISPLACED POPULATIONS

     SEC. 401. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``Preventing Child Marriage 
     in Displaced Populations Act''.

     SEC. 402. FINDINGS.

       Congress finds the following:
       (1) According to United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), 
     12,000,000 girls marry before the age of 18 every year.
       (2) Early marriage denies children, especially girls, their 
     right to make vital decisions about their well-being, 
     including relating to their health, family, and career. Child 
     brides are less likely to finish their education, and are at 
     higher risk for abuse, contracting HIV, and dying while 
     pregnant or giving birth.
       (3) Child marriage also imposes substantial economic costs 
     to developing countries, impeding development and prosperity 
     gains.
       (4) Displaced populations are particularly vulnerable to 
     child marriage, in communities where poverty, instability, 
     and displacement put pressure on families to marry children, 
     particularly young girls, off at a young age.
       (5) One United Nations (UN) study found that child marriage 
     rates were 4 times higher among displaced Syrian refugees 
     than among Syrians before the crisis. This indicates that 
     displacement, instability, and poverty are driving child 
     marriages.
       (6) United Nations agencies, including UNICEF and the 
     United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), have 
     acknowledged the dangers of child marriage and taken steps to 
     address its risk in the populations they serve.
       (7) The UN Joint Program on Child Marriage supports this 
     work by building the resilience of populations to indirectly 
     prevent child marriage and by generating new data and 
     evidence on the prevalence of child marriage in humanitarian 
     and fragile settings. For example, in Uganda, the UN Joint 
     Program on Child Marriage helped 27,000 adolescent girls 
     strengthen critical skills through school clubs and Go Back 
     to School campaigns, as well as life skills and financial 
     literacy training.
       (8) After the UN Joint Program on Child Marriage identified 
     Yemen as one of its focus countries, 65,000 people, of whom 
     45,000 are adolescents, were reached with awareness-raising 
     activities on the harms of child marriage in 2018 alone. As a 
     result, local council representatives, elders, and community 
     leaders from 6 districts signed a pledge to support advocacy 
     efforts to end child marriage.

     SEC. 403. PREVENTING CHILD MARRIAGE IN DISPLACED POPULATIONS.

       (a) In General.--The President shall direct the United 
     States Permanent Representative to the United Nations to use 
     the voice, vote, and influence of the United States at the 
     United Nations to call for an adoption of an agreed upon 
     definition of ``child marriage'' across United Nations 
     agencies.
       (b) Strategy.--The President shall direct the United States 
     Permanent Representative to the United Nations to use the 
     voice, vote, and influence of the United States at the United 
     Nations to call for the development of a comprehensive 
     strategy to address child marriage in refugee settlements 
     administered by the United Nations. The strategy should 
     include the following elements:
       (1) A mandate to regularly collect and report data related 
     to the number of known or suspected child marriages taking 
     place inside each such settlement.
       (2) Protocols for United Nations personnel regarding 
     prevention and monitoring of child marriages inside each such 
     settlement.
       (3) A description of United Nations programs administered 
     at such settlements that include--
       (A) physical, mental, and emotional rehabilitation and 
     support to children who have extricated themselves from child 
     marriage; and
       (B) alternatives to child marriage, such as education 
     initiatives.
       (4) Protocols regarding how United Nations personnel 
     should--
       (A) report adults participating in illegal child marriages 
     in each such settlement; and
       (B) monitor the prosecution of such adults by the 
     authorities of the country in which the settlement at issue 
     is located.
       (c) Research.--The President shall direct the United States 
     Permanent Representative to the United Nations to use the 
     voice, vote, and influence of the United States at the United 
     Nations to advocate for the United Nations and its 
     appropriate agencies to include, as appropriate, in all of 
     its research regarding child marriage, the relationship 
     between child marriage and violence against girls, including 
     young children and infants.
       (d) Definitions.--In this section:
       (1) Child marriage.--The term ``child marriage'' means a 
     formal marriage or informal union involving at least one 
     person younger than age 18.
       (2) Illegal child marriage.--The term ``illegal child 
     marriage'' means a child marriage that is illegal under the 
     laws of the country in which the child marriage occurs.

       (1) on the basis of--
       (A) the national security interests of the United States;
       (B) clearly defined indicators of the levels of violence or 
     fragility in such country or region, such as the country's or 
     region's--
       (i) ranking on recognized global fragility lists, such as 
     the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development 
     States of Fragility report, the Fund for Peace Fragile States 
     Index, the World Bank Harmonized List of Fragile Situations, 
     the Institute for Economics and Peace Global Peace Index, and 
     the Holocaust Museum Early Warning Project Risk Assessment;
       (ii) ranking on select United States Government conflict 
     and atrocity early warning watch lists;
       (iii) levels of violence, including violence committed by 
     armed groups, state actors, and violent extremist 
     organizations, gender-based violence, and violence against 
     children and youth; and
       (iv) vulnerability to rising sea levels, flooding, drought,

     SEC. 601. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``Rescuing Animals With 
     Rewards Act of 2019'' or the ``RAWR Act''.

     SEC. 602. FINDINGS; SENSE OF CONGRESS.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) Wildlife trafficking is a major transnational crime 
     that is estimated to generate over $10 billion a year in 
     illegal profits and which is increasingly perpetrated by 
     organized, sophisticated criminal enterprises, including 
     known terrorist organizations.
       (2) Wildlife trafficking not only threatens endangered 
     species worldwide, but also jeopardizes local security, 
     spreads disease, undermines rule of law, fuels corruption, 
     and damages economic development.
       (3) Combating wildlife trafficking requires a coordinated 
     and sustained approach at the global, regional, national, and 
     local levels.
       (4) Congress stated in the Eliminate, Neutralize, and 
     Disrupt Wildlife Trafficking Act of 2016 that it is the 
     policy of the United States to take immediate actions to stop 
     the illegal global trade in wildlife and wildlife products 
     and associated transnational organized crime.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     the Department of State's rewards program is a powerful tool 
     in combating sophisticated international crime and that the 
     Department of State and Federal law enforcement should work 
     in concert to offer rewards that target wildlife traffickers.

       This title may be cited as the ``Championing American 
     Business Through Diplomacy Act of 2019''.

     SEC. 702. FINDINGS.

       Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) According to the 2017 National Security Strategy of the 
     United States of America, ``Retaining our position as the 
     world's preeminent economic actor strengthens our ability to 
     use the tools of economic diplomacy for the good of Americans 
     and others.''.
       (2) A November 7, 2018, cable from Secretary of State 
     Michael R. Pompeo to all diplomatic and consular posts--
     ``Boosting Commercial Diplomacy Around the World''--stated 
     that ``helping American companies is a foreign policy 
     priority. . .Promoting broad-based, responsible, and 
     sustainable economic growth helps to stabilize regions and 
     creates new and growing markets for U.S. companies. A 
     transparent and level playing field for U.S. investment in 
     these countries counters real and growing challenges such as 
     China's Belt and Road initiative.''.
       (3) In the January-February 2019 issue of The Foreign 
     Service Journal, Ambassador Barbara Stephenson, the President 
     of the American Foreign Service Association, wrote, ``Foreign 
     Service support for American business. . .is a major reason 
     why the U.S. Foreign Service was created.''.

     quantities of the covered product to the eligible product 
     developer without a legitimate business justification; or
       (II) that the license holder failed to comply with an order 
     issued under clause (i).

       (B) Maximum monetary amount.--A monetary amount awarded 
     under subparagraph (A)(iii) shall not be greater than the 
     revenue that the license holder earned on the covered product 
     during the period--
       (i) beginning on--

       (I) for a covered product that is not subject to a REMS 
     with ETASU, the date that is 31 days after the date on which 
     the license holder received the request; or
       (II) for a covered product that is subject to a REMS with 
     ETASU, the date that is 31 days after the later of--

       (aa) the date on which the license holder received the 
     request; or

     developer received sufficient quantities of the covered 
     product.
       (C) Avoidance of delay.--The court may issue an order under 
     subparagraph (A)(i) before conducting further proceedings 
     that may be necessary to determine whether the eligible 
     product developer is entitled to an award under clause (ii) 
     or (iii) of subparagraph (A), or the amount of any such 
     award.
       (c) Limitation of Liability.--A license holder for a 
     covered product shall not be liable for any claim under 
     Federal, State, or local law arising out of the failure of an 
     eligible product developer to follow adequate safeguards to 
     assure safe use of the covered product during development or 
     testing activities described in this section, including 
     transportation, handling, use, or disposal of the covered 
     product by the eligible product developer.

     product developer (as those terms are defined in section 
     610(a) of division N of the Further Consolidated 
     Appropriations Act, 2020) shall not be considered a violation 
     of the requirements of any risk evaluation and mitigation 
     strategy that may be in place under this section for such 
     drug.''.
       (e) Rule of Construction.--
       (1) Definition.--In this subsection, the term ``antitrust 
     laws''--
       (A) has the meaning given the term in subsection (a) of the 
     first section of the Clayton Act (15 U.S.C. 12); and
       (B) includes section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act 
     (15 U.S.C. 45) to the extent that such section applies to 
     unfair methods of competition.
       (2) Antitrust laws.--Nothing in this section shall be 
     construed to limit the operation of any provision of the 
     antitrust laws.
       (f) REMS Approval Process for Subsequent Filers.--Section 
     505-1 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 
     355-1), as amended by subsection (d), is further amended--

       (A) in clause (i) by striking ``or'' after the semicolon;
       (B) in clause (ii) by striking the period at the end and 
     inserting ``; or''; and
       (C) by adding at the end the following:
       ``(iii) accommodate different, comparable aspects of the 
     elements to assure safe use for a drug that is the subject of 
     an application under section 505(j), and the applicable 
     listed drug.'';
       (2) in subsection (i)(1), by striking subparagraph (C) and 
     inserting the following:
       ``(C)(i) Elements to assure safe use, if required under 
     subsection (f) for the listed drug, which, subject to clause 
     (ii), for a drug that is the subject of an application under 
     section 505(j) may use--
       ``(I) a single, shared system with the listed drug under 
     subsection (f); or
       ``(II) a different, comparable aspect of the elements to 
     assure safe use under subsection (f).
       ``(ii) The Secretary may require a drug that is the subject 
     of an application under section 505(j) and the listed drug to 
     use a single, shared system under subsection (f), if the 
     Secretary determines that no different, comparable aspect of 
     the elements to assure safe use could satisfy the 
     requirements of subsection (f).'';
       (3) in subsection (i), by adding at the end the following:
       ``(3) Shared rems.--If the Secretary approves, in 
     accordance with paragraph (1)(C)(i)(II), a different, 
     comparable aspect of the elements to assure safe use under 
     subsection (f) for a drug that is the subject of an 
     abbreviated new drug application under section 505(j), the 
     Secretary may require that such different comparable aspect 
     of the elements to assure safe use can be used with respect 
     to any other drug that is the subject of an application under 
     section 505(j) or 505(b) that references the same listed 
     drug.''; and
       (4) by adding at the end the following:
       ``(m) Separate REMS.--When used in this section, the term 
     `different, comparable aspect of the elements to assure safe 
     use' means a risk evaluation and mitigation strategy for a 
     drug that is the subject of an application under section 
     505(j) that uses different methods or operational means than 
     the strategy required under subsection (a) for the applicable 
     listed drug, or other application under section 505(j) with 
     the same such listed drug, but achieves the same level of 
     safety as such strategy.''.
       (g) Rule of Construction.--Nothing in this section, the 
     amendments made by this section, or in section 505-1 of the 
     Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 355-1), shall 
     be construed as--
       (1) prohibiting a license holder from providing an eligible 
     product developer access to a covered product in the absence 
     of an authorization under this section; or
       (2) in any way negating the applicability of a REMS with 
     ETASU, as otherwise required under such section 505-1, with 
     respect to such covered product.

       (a) Qualification Requirements.--
       (1) In general.--Section 413 of the Internal Revenue Code 
     of 1986 is amended by adding at the end the following new 
     subsection:
       ``(e) Application of Qualification Requirements for Certain 
     Multiple Employer Plans With Pooled Plan Providers.--
       ``(1) In general.--Except as provided in paragraph (2), if 
     a defined contribution plan to which subsection (c) applies--
       ``(A) is maintained by employers which have a common 
     interest other than having adopted the plan, or
       ``(B) in the case of a plan not described in subparagraph 
     (A), has a pooled plan provider,
     then the plan shall not be treated as failing to meet the 
     requirements under this title applicable to a plan described 
     in section 401(a) or to a plan that consists of individual 
     retirement accounts described in section 408 (including by 
     reason of subsection (c) thereof), whichever is applicable, 
     merely because one or more employers of employees covered by 
     the plan fail to take such actions as are required of such 
     employers for the plan to meet such requirements.
       ``(2) Limitations.--
       ``(A) In general.--Paragraph (1) shall not apply to any 
     plan unless the terms of the plan provide that in the case of 
     any employer in the plan failing to take the actions 
     described in paragraph (1)--
       ``(i) the assets of the plan attributable to employees of 
     such employer (or beneficiaries of such employees) will be 
     transferred to a plan maintained only by such employer (or 
     its successor), to an eligible retirement plan as defined in 
     section 402(c)(8)(B) for each individual whose account is 
     transferred, or to any other arrangement that the Secretary 
     determines is appropriate, unless the Secretary determines it 
     is in the best interests of the employees of such employer 
     (and the beneficiaries of such employees) to retain the 
     assets in the plan, and
       ``(ii) such employer (and not the plan with respect to 
     which the failure occurred or any other employer in such 
     plan) shall, except to the extent provided by the Secretary, 
     be liable for any liabilities with respect to such plan 
     attributable to employees of such employer (or beneficiaries 
     of such employees).
       ``(B) Failures by pooled plan providers.--If the pooled 
     plan provider of a plan described in paragraph (1)(B) does 
     not perform substantially all of the administrative duties 
     which are required of the provider under paragraph (3)(A)(i) 
     for any plan year, the Secretary may provide that the 
     determination as to whether the plan meets the requirements 
     under this title applicable to a plan described in section 
     401(a) or to a plan that consists of individual retirement 
     accounts described in section 408 (including by reason of 
     subsection (c) thereof), whichever is applicable, shall be 
     made in the same manner as would be made without regard to 
     paragraph (1).
       ``(3) Pooled plan provider.--
       ``(A) In general.--For purposes of this subsection, the 
     term `pooled plan provider' means, with respect to any plan, 
     a person who--
       ``(i) is designated by the terms of the plan as a named 
     fiduciary (within the meaning of section 402(a)(2) of the 
     Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974), as the plan 
     administrator, and as the person responsible to perform all 
     administrative duties (including conducting proper testing 
     with respect to the plan and the employees of each employer 
     in the plan) which are reasonably necessary to ensure that--

       ``(I) the plan meets any requirement applicable under the 
     Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 or this title 
     to a plan described in section 401(a) or to a plan that 
     consists of individual retirement accounts described in 
     section 408 (including by reason of subsection (c) thereof), 
     whichever is applicable, and
       ``(II) each employer in the plan takes such actions as the 
     Secretary or such person determines are necessary for the 
     plan to meet the requirements described in subclause (I), 
     including providing to such person any disclosures or other 
     information which the Secretary may require or which such 
     person otherwise determines are necessary to administer the 
     plan or to allow the plan to meet such requirements,

       ``(ii) registers as a pooled plan provider with the 
     Secretary, and provides such other information to the 
     Secretary as the Secretary may require, before beginning 
     operations as a pooled plan provider,
       ``(iii) acknowledges in writing that such person is a named 
     fiduciary (within the meaning of section 402(a)(2) of the 
     Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974), and the 
     plan administrator, with respect to the plan, and
       ``(iv) is responsible for ensuring that all persons who 
     handle assets of, or who are fiduciaries of, the plan are 
     bonded in accordance with section 412 of the Employee 
     Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.
       ``(B) Audits, examinations and investigations.--The 
     Secretary may perform audits, examinations, and 
     investigations of pooled plan providers as may be necessary 
     to enforce and carry out the purposes of this subsection.
       ``(C) Aggregation rules.--For purposes of this paragraph, 
     in determining whether a person meets the requirements of 
     this paragraph to be a pooled plan provider with respect to 
     any plan, all persons who perform services for the plan and 
     who are treated as a single employer under subsection (b), 
     (c), (m), or (o) of section 414 shall be treated as one 
     person.
       ``(D) Treatment of employers as plan sponsors.--Except with 
     respect to the administrative duties of the pooled plan 
     provider described in subparagraph (A)(i), each employer in a 
     plan which has a pooled plan provider shall be treated as the 
     plan sponsor with respect to the portion of the plan 
     attributable to employees of such employer (or beneficiaries 
     of such employees).
       ``(4) Guidance.--
       ``(A) In general.--The Secretary shall issue such guidance 
     as the Secretary determines appropriate to carry out this 
     subsection, including guidance--
       ``(i) to identify the administrative duties and other 
     actions required to be performed by a pooled plan provider 
     under this subsection,
       ``(ii) which describes the procedures to be taken to 
     terminate a plan which fails to meet the requirements to be a 
     plan described in paragraph (1), including the proper 
     treatment of, and actions needed to be taken by, any employer 
     in the plan and the assets and liabilities of the plan 
     attributable to employees of such employer (or beneficiaries 
     of such employees), and
       ``(iii) identifying appropriate cases to which the rules of 
     paragraph (2)(A) will apply to employers in the plan failing 
     to take the actions described in paragraph (1).
     The Secretary shall take into account under clause (iii) 
     whether the failure of an employer or pooled plan provider to 
     provide any disclosures or other information, or to take any 
     other action, necessary to administer a plan or to allow a 
     plan to meet requirements applicable to the plan under 
     section 401(a) or 408, whichever is applicable, has continued 
     over a period of time that demonstrates a lack of commitment 
     to compliance.
       ``(B) Good faith compliance with law before guidance.--An 
     employer or pooled plan provider shall not be treated as 
     failing to meet a requirement of guidance issued by the 
     Secretary under this paragraph if, before the issuance of 
     such guidance, the employer or pooled plan provider complies 
     in good faith with a reasonable interpretation of the 
     provisions of this subsection to which such guidance relates.
       ``(5) Model plan.--The Secretary shall publish model plan 
     language which meets the requirements of this subsection and 
     of paragraphs (43) and (44) of section 3 of the Employee 
     Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and which may be 
     adopted in order for a plan to be treated as a plan described 
     in paragraph (1)(B).''.
       (2) Conforming amendment.--Section 413(c)(2) of such Code 
     is amended by striking ``section 401(a)'' and inserting 
     ``sections 401(a) and 408(c)''.
       (3) Technical amendment.--Section 408(c) of such Code is 
     amended by inserting after paragraph (2) the following new 
     paragraph:

     Plans.--Section 3(2) of the Employee Retirement Income

     person responsible for the performance of all administrative 
     duties (including conducting proper testing with respect to 
     the plan and the employees of each employer in the plan) 
     which are reasonably necessary to ensure that--

       ``(I) the plan meets any requirement applicable under this 
     Act or the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to a plan described 
     in section 401(a) of such Code or to a plan that consists of 
     individual retirement accounts described in section 408 of 
     such Code (including by reason of subsection (c) thereof), 
     whichever is applicable; and
       ``(II) each employer in the plan takes such actions as the 
     Secretary or pooled plan provider determines are necessary 
     for the plan to meet the requirements described in subclause 
     (I), including providing the disclosures and information 
     described in paragraph (43)(B)(v)(II);

       ``(ii) registers as a pooled plan provider with the 
     Secretary, and provides to the Secretary such other 
     information as the Secretary may require, before beginning 
     operations as a pooled plan provider;

     fiduciary, and the plan administrator, with respect to the 
     pooled employer plan; and

     handle assets of, or who are fiduciaries of, the pooled 
     employer plan are bonded in accordance with section 412.
       ``(B) Audits, examinations and investigations.--The 
     Secretary may perform audits, examinations, and 
     investigations of pooled plan providers as may be necessary 
     to enforce and carry out the purposes of this paragraph and 
     paragraph (43).

     the Secretary determines appropriate to carry out this 
     paragraph and paragraph (43), including guidance--
       ``(i) to identify the administrative duties and other 
     actions required to be performed by a pooled plan provider 
     under either such paragraph; and
       ``(ii) which requires in appropriate cases that if an 
     employer in the plan fails to take the actions required under 
     subparagraph (A)(i)(II)--

     such employer (or beneficiaries of such employees) are 
     transferred to a plan maintained only by such employer (or 
     its successor), to an eligible retirement plan as defined in 
     section 402(c)(8)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 for 
     each individual whose account is transferred, or to any other 
     arrangement that the Secretary determines is appropriate in 
     such guidance; and
       ``(II) such employer (and not the plan with respect to 
     which the failure occurred or any other employer in such 
     plan) shall, except to the extent provided in such guidance, 
     be liable for any liabilities with respect to such plan 
     attributable to employees of such employer (or beneficiaries 
     of such employees).

     The Secretary shall take into account under clause (ii) 
     whether the failure of an employer or pooled plan provider to 
     provide any disclosures or other information, or to take any 
     other action, necessary to administer a plan or to allow a 
     plan to meet requirements described in subparagraph 
     (A)(i)(II) has continued over a period of time that 
     demonstrates a lack of commitment to compliance. The 
     Secretary may waive the requirements of subclause (ii)(I) in 
     appropriate circumstances if the Secretary determines it is 
     in the best interests of the employees of the employer 
     referred to in such clause (and the beneficiaries of such 
     employees) to retain the assets in the plan with respect to 
     which the employer's failure occurred.
       ``(D) Good faith compliance with law before guidance.--An 
     employer or pooled plan provider shall not be treated as 
     failing to meet a requirement of guidance issued by the 
     Secretary under subparagraph (C) if, before the issuance of 
     such guidance, the employer or pooled plan provider complies 
     in good faith with a reasonable interpretation of the 
     provisions of this paragraph, or paragraph (43), to which 
     such guidance relates.
       ``(E) Aggregation rules.--For purposes of this paragraph, 
     in determining whether a person meets the requirements of 
     this paragraph to be a pooled plan provider with respect to 
     any plan, all persons who perform services for the plan and 
     who are treated as a single employer under subsection (b),

     SEC. 110. TREATMENT OF CUSTODIAL ACCOUNTS ON TERMINATION OF 
                   SECTION 403(B) PLANS.

       Not later than six months after the date of enactment of 
     this Act, the Secretary of the Treasury shall issue guidance 
     to provide that, if an employer terminates the plan under 
     which amounts are contributed to a custodial account under 
     subparagraph (A) of section 403(b)(7), the plan administrator 
     or custodian may distribute an individual custodial account 
     in kind to a participant or beneficiary of the plan and the 
     distributed custodial account shall be maintained by the 
     custodian on a tax-deferred basis as a section 403(b)(7) 
     custodial account, similar to the treatment of fully-paid 
     individual annuity contracts under Revenue Ruling 2011-7, 
     until amounts are actually paid to the participant or 
     beneficiary. The guidance shall provide further (i) that the 
     section 403(b)(7) status of the distributed custodial account 
     is generally maintained if the custodial account thereafter 
     adheres to the requirements of section 403(b) that are in 
     effect at the time of the distribution of the account and 
     (ii) that a custodial account would not be considered 
     distributed to the participant or beneficiary

[[Page H10562]]

     if the employer has any material retained rights under the 
     account (but the employer would not be treated as retaining 
     material rights simply because the custodial account was 
     originally opened under a group contract). Such guidance 
     shall be retroactively effective for taxable years beginning 
     after December 31, 2008.

     exceed $5,000.
       ``(iii) Qualified birth or adoption distribution.--For 
     purposes of this subparagraph--

       ``(I) In general.--The term `qualified birth or adoption 
     distribution' means any distribution from an applicable 
     eligible retirement plan to an individual if made during the 
     1-year period beginning on the date on which a child of the

       ``(I) In general.--If a distribution to an individual would 
     (without regard to clause (ii)) be a qualified birth or 
     adoption distribution, a plan shall not be treated as failing 
     to meet any requirement of this title merely because the plan 
     treats the distribution as a qualified birth or adoption 
     distribution, unless the aggregate amount of such 
     distributions from all plans maintained by the employer (and 
     any member of any controlled group which includes the

     birth or adoption distribution may make one or more 
     contributions in an aggregate amount not to exceed the amount

     clause (iii) of this subparagraph shall be required to be 
     included in only one pension benefit statement during any one 
     12-month period.''.
       (b) Lifetime Income.--Paragraph (2) of section 105(a) of 
     the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (29 
     U.S.C. 1025(a)) is amended by adding at the end the following 
     new subparagraph:
       ``(D) Lifetime income disclosure.--
       ``(i) In general.--

       ``(I) Disclosure.--A lifetime income disclosure shall set 
     forth the lifetime income stream equivalent of the total 
     benefits accrued with respect to the participant or 
     beneficiary.
       ``(II) Lifetime income stream equivalent of the total 
     benefits accrued.--For purposes of this subparagraph, the 
     term `lifetime income stream equivalent of the total benefits 
     accrued' means the amount of monthly payments the participant 
     or beneficiary would receive if the total accrued benefits of 
     such participant or beneficiary were used to provide lifetime 
     income streams described in subclause (III), based on 
     assumptions specified in rules prescribed by the Secretary.
       ``(III) Lifetime income streams.--The lifetime income 
     streams described in this subclause are a qualified joint and 
     survivor annuity (as defined in section 205(d)), based on 
     assumptions specified in rules prescribed by the Secretary, 
     including the assumption that

[[Page H10565]]

     the participant or beneficiary has a spouse of equal age, and 
     a single life annuity. Such lifetime income streams may have 
     a term certain or other features to the extent permitted 
     under rules prescribed by the Secretary.

       ``(ii) Model disclosure.--Not later than 1 year after the 
     date of the enactment of the Setting Every Community Up for 
     Retirement Enhancement Act of 2019, the Secretary shall issue 
     a model lifetime income disclosure, written in a manner so as 
     to be understood by the average plan participant, which--

       ``(I) explains that the lifetime income stream equivalent 
     is only provided as an illustration;
       ``(II) explains that the actual payments under the lifetime 
     income stream described in clause (i)(III) which may be 
     purchased with the total benefits accrued will depend on 
     numerous factors and may vary substantially from the lifetime 
     income stream equivalent in the disclosures;
       ``(III) explains the assumptions upon which the lifetime 
     income stream equivalent was determined; and
       ``(IV) provides such other similar explanations as the 
     Secretary considers appropriate.

       ``(iii) Assumptions and rules.--Not later than 1 year after 
     the date of the enactment of the Setting Every Community Up 
     for Retirement Enhancement Act of 2019, the Secretary shall--

       ``(I) prescribe assumptions which administrators of 
     individual account plans may use in converting total accrued 
     benefits into lifetime income stream equivalents for purposes 
     of this subparagraph; and
       ``(II) issue interim final rules under clause (i).

     In prescribing assumptions under subclause (I), the Secretary 
     may prescribe a single set of specific assumptions (in which 
     case the Secretary may issue tables or factors which 
     facilitate such conversions), or ranges of permissible 
     assumptions. To the extent that an accrued benefit is or may 
     be invested in a lifetime income stream described in clause 
     (i)(III), the assumptions prescribed under subclause (I) 
     shall, to the extent appropriate, permit administrators of 
     individual account plans to use the amounts payable under 
     such lifetime income stream as a lifetime income stream 
     equivalent.
       ``(iv) Limitation on liability.--No plan fiduciary, plan 
     sponsor, or other person shall have any liability under this 
     title solely by reason of the provision of lifetime income 
     stream equivalents which are derived in accordance with the 
     assumptions and rules described in clause (iii) and which 
     include the explanations contained in the model lifetime 
     income disclosure described in clause (ii). This clause shall 
     apply without regard to whether the provision of such 
     lifetime income stream equivalent is required by subparagraph 
     (B)(iii).
       ``(v) Effective date.--The requirement in subparagraph 
     (B)(iii) shall apply to pension benefit statements furnished 
     more than 12 months after the latest of the issuance by the 
     Secretary of--

       ``(I) interim final rules under clause (i);
       ``(II) the model disclosure under clause (ii); or
       ``(III) the assumptions under clause (iii).''.

     following:
       ``(e) Safe Harbor for Annuity Selection.--

     insurer for a guaranteed retirement income contract, the 
     requirements of subsection (a)(1)(B) will be deemed to be 
     satisfied if a fiduciary--
       ``(A) engages in an objective, thorough, and analytical 
     search for the purpose of identifying insurers from which to 
     purchase such contracts;
       ``(B) with respect to each insurer identified under 
     subparagraph (A)--
       ``(i) considers the financial capability of such insurer to 
     satisfy its obligations under the guaranteed retirement 
     income contract; and
       ``(ii) considers the cost (including fees and commissions) 
     of the guaranteed retirement income contract offered by the 
     insurer in relation to the benefits and product features of 
     the contract and administrative services to be provided under 
     such contract; and
       ``(C) on the basis of such consideration, concludes that--
       ``(i) at the time of the selection, the insurer is 
     financially capable of satisfying its obligations under the 
     guaranteed retirement income contract; and
       ``(ii) the relative cost of the selected guaranteed 
     retirement income contract as described in subparagraph 
     (B)(ii) is reasonable.
       ``(2) Financial capability of the insurer.--A fiduciary 
     will be deemed to satisfy the requirements of paragraphs 
     (1)(B)(i) and (1)(C)(i) if--
       ``(A) the fiduciary obtains written representations from 
     the insurer that--
       ``(i) the insurer is licensed to offer guaranteed 
     retirement income contracts;

     insurance commissioner of its domiciliary State which has not 
     been revoked or suspended;

     with the laws of its domiciliary State under applicable 
     statutory accounting principles;
       ``(III) maintains (and has maintained) reserves which 
     satisfies all the statutory requirements of all States where 
     the insurer does business; and

     rehabilitation, or liquidation;

       ``(iii) the insurer undergoes, at least every 5 years, a 
     financial examination (within the meaning of the law of its 
     domiciliary State) by the insurance commissioner of the 
     domiciliary State (or representative, designee, or other 
     party approved by such commissioner); and
       ``(iv) the insurer will notify the fiduciary of any change 
     in circumstances occurring after the provision of the 
     representations in clauses (i), (ii), and (iii) which would 
     preclude the insurer from making such representations at the 
     time of issuance of the guaranteed retirement income 
     contract; and
       ``(B) after receiving such representations and as of the 
     time of selection, the fiduciary has not received any notice 
     described in subparagraph (A)(iv) and is in possession of no 
     other information which would cause the fiduciary to question 
     the representations provided.
       ``(3) No requirement to select lowest cost.--Nothing in 
     this subsection shall be construed to require a fiduciary to 
     select the lowest cost contract. A fiduciary may consider the 
     value of a contract, including features and benefits of the 
     contract and attributes of the insurer (including, without 
     limitation, the insurer's financial strength) in conjunction 
     with the cost of the contract.
       ``(4) Time of selection.--
       ``(A) In general.--For purposes of this subsection, the 
     time of selection is--
       ``(i) the time that the insurer and the contract are 
     selected for distribution of benefits to a specific 
     participant or beneficiary; or
       ``(ii) if the fiduciary periodically reviews the continuing 
     appropriateness of the conclusion described in paragraph 
     (1)(C) with respect to a selected insurer, taking into 
     account the considerations described in such paragraph, the 
     time that the insurer and the contract are selected to 
     provide benefits at future dates to participants or 
     beneficiaries under the plan.
     Nothing in the preceding sentence shall be construed to 
     require the fiduciary to review the appropriateness of a 
     selection after the purchase of a contract for a participant 
     or beneficiary.
       ``(B) Periodic review.--A fiduciary will be deemed to have 
     conducted the periodic review described in subparagraph 
     (A)(ii) if the fiduciary obtains the written representations 
     described in clauses (i), (ii), and (iii) of paragraph (2)(A) 
     from the insurer on an annual basis, unless the fiduciary 
     receives any notice described in paragraph (2)(A)(iv) or 
     otherwise becomes aware of facts that would cause the

     selected guaranteed retirement income contract, for any

     by this section), a closed class of participants shall be 
     treated as being closed before April 5, 2017, if the plan 
     sponsor's intention to create such closed class is reflected 
     in formal written documents and communicated to participants 
     before such date.

     such Code (as added by this section) to such plan solely 
     because in the case of--
       (i) such section 401(o)(1)(A), the plan was amended before 
     the date of the enactment of this Act to eliminate 1 or more 
     benefits, rights, or features, and is further amended after 
     such date of enactment to provide such previously eliminated 
     benefits, rights, or features to a closed class of 
     participants, or

     the requirements of such section and in applying such 
     section, the date the class of participants is closed shall 
     be the effective date of the later amendment.

       (1) Director.--The term ``Director'' means the Director of 
     the United States Geological Survey.

     River at and upstream from the point at which such river and 
     the Great Lakes become the international boundary between 
     Canada and the United States.
       (b) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) The Great Lakes support a diverse ecosystem, on which 
     the vibrant and economically valuable Great Lakes fisheries 
     depend.

     coordination, as has occurred since signing of the Convention 
     on Great Lakes Fisheries between the United States and Canada 
     on September 10, 1954, management of the ecosystem and its 
     fisheries require sound, reliable science, and the use of 
     modern scientific technologies.
       (3) Fisheries research is necessary to support multi-
     jurisdictional fishery management decisions and actions 
     regarding recreational and sport fishing, commercial 
     fisheries, tribal harvest, allocation decisions, and fish 
     stocking activities.
       (4) President Richard Nixon submitted, and the Congress 
     approved, Reorganization Plan No. 4 (84 Stat. 2090), 
     conferring science activities and management of marine 
     fisheries to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric 
     Administration.
       (5) Reorganization Plan No. 4 expressly excluded fishery 
     research activities within the Great Lakes from the transfer, 
     retaining management and scientific research duties within 
     the already-established jurisdictions under the 1954 
     Convention on Great Lakes Fisheries, including those of the 
     Great Lakes Fishery Commission and the Department of the 
     Interior.

     paragraph (1)--
       (A) execute a comprehensive, multi-lake, freshwater 
     fisheries science program;
       (B) coordinate with and work cooperatively with regional, 
     State, tribal, and local governments; and
       (C) consult with other interested entities groups, 
     including academia and relevant Canadian agencies.
       (3) Included research.--To properly serve the needs of

     authority of the Great Lakes Fishery Commission, States, and 
     Indian tribes under the Convention on Great Lakes Fisheries 
     between the United States of America and Canada on September 
     10, 1954, and the Great Lakes Fishery Act of 1956 (16 U.S.C. 
     931 et seq.).

     such Code and as having been transferred to the eligible 
     retirement plan in a direct trustee to trustee transfer

shall be debatable for 1 hour equally divided and controlled by the 
chair and ranking minority member of the Committee on Appropriations.
  The gentlewoman from New York (Mrs. Lowey) and the gentlewoman from 
Texas (Ms. Granger) each will control 30 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from New York.


                             General Leave

  Mrs. LOWEY. Madam Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members 
may have 5 legislative days within which to revise and extend their 
remarks and include extraneous material on the House amendment to the 
Senate amendment to H.R. 1865.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentlewoman from New York?
  There was no objection.
  Mrs. LOWEY. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  This domestic priorities and international assistance minibus 
combines eight appropriations bills: Labor-Health and Human Services-
Education, Agriculture, Energy and Water Development, Interior-
Environment, Legislative Branch, Military Construction-Veterans 
Affairs, State-Foreign Operations, and Transportation-Housing and Urban 
Development.

                              {time}  1215

  The Appropriations Committee is fortunate to have outstanding 
cardinals, and they have done an extraordinary job negotiating these 
bills. Because of their hard work, we have secured record funding 
levels for Head Start, Child Care and Development Block Grants, and 
title I schools; hundreds of millions of dollars in increases for 
programs that expand access to housing; $41.7 billion for lifesaving 
medical research at the NIH, a $2.6 billion increase and a record 
level; $25 million for gun violence prevention research at the CDC and 
NIH, which is being funded for the first time in more than 20 years; 
strong funding for environmental protection, with $9 billion for the 
EPA, $495 million for the Land and Water Conservation Fund, and robust 
investments in clean energy to address the climate crisis.
  Turning to my bill, I am proud that the State, Foreign Operations, 
and Related Programs Subcommittee reached bipartisan agreement on a 
robust bill that rejects the short-sighted, dangerous cuts proposed by 
the Trump administration. Our bill provides $54.7 billion in 
discretionary funding, which is $467 million above fiscal year 2019 and 
$11.3 billion above the request.
  To confront today's global challenges, from poverty to civil war, 
from climate change to violent extremism, our bill provides strong 
investments in security, humanitarian, and development assistance; 
basic education; and global health programs like HIV/AIDS, nutrition, 
TB, and malaria.
  It restores the State Department's and USAID's staffing to 2016 
levels and increases funding for many of our critical partners, like 
the National Endowment for Democracy, the Global Fund, the U.S. 
Institute of Peace, the Inter-American Foundation, and the U.S. African 
Development Foundation.
  Of critical importance, the bill limits the administration's ability 
to redirect or deviate from congressionally directed spending levels.
  Amid all these successes, I must note how disappointing it is that, 
in these negotiations, President Trump and congressional Republicans 
refused to relent on their counterproductive assault on women's rights 
and health programs that provide basic healthcare to women and families 
here and around the world.
  Madam Speaker, I joined the Appropriations Committee because it is 
the best place to give more people a better chance at a better life. 
With this bill, we have lived up to that promise by making historic 
investments for the people. I am so proud that we are able to do so 
much good for children and families across the country and around the 
world.
  Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join me in supporting this 
important legislation, and I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. GRANGER. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may 
consume.
  I rise today in support of H.R. 1865, a bill that will provide 
funding for the

[[Page H10588]]

Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education; 
Agriculture; Energy and Water; Interior; the Legislative Branch; 
Military Construction and the Veterans Administration; State and 
Foreign Operations; and Transportation and Housing.
  This package protects the sanctity of life and provides vital funding 
to promote the health and well-being of all Americans. In particular, 
the bill maintains all prior year pro-life protections and secures the 
largest pro-life victory in a generation by maintaining the Trump 
administration's Title X Family Planning regulations.
  It provides funding to the National Institutes of Health to continue 
their groundbreaking research in the areas of Alzheimer's disease and 
cancer research, including childhood cancers. It combats the opioid and 
methamphetamine epidemic in this country by providing funds for 
prevention, treatment, recovery, and research into alternative 
therapies for pain management.
  The bill also includes key provisions to help Americans in rural 
areas, such as significant funding for broadband programs; support for 
those farmers and ranchers around the country severely affected by 
hurricanes, floods, drought, and other national disasters in 2018 and 
2019; and promotes economic growth and opportunity through loans for 
housing, utilities, and businesses.
  Increased funding for the Army Corps of Engineers is also included in 
this package to support navigation and flood control improvements.
  In addition, the bill continues to advance the Nation's all-of-the-
above solutions to energy independence through targeted investments in 
research and development.
  Finally, the bill includes several key wins for the military and 
veterans, as well as our diplomats abroad, such as an increase in 
funding for military construction and family housing projects; improved 
resources for veterans to address mental health, suicide, and 
homelessness; and expanded programs for female veterans.
  The bill strongly supports our ally Israel and fulfills the U.S.-
Israel memorandum of understanding by providing funding for military 
assistance and maintains funding to keep our embassies safe and secure.
  Like the package we just debated, there are many provisions here that 
are good for our country. I hope we can move this bill quickly through 
the House and the Senate so the President can sign it into law before 
funding runs out Friday.
  Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mrs. LOWEY. Madam Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentlewoman from 
Ohio (Ms. Kaptur), the chairwoman of the Energy and Water Development 
Subcommittee.
  Ms. KAPTUR. Madam Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman for yielding me 
this time. I thank Chairwoman Lowey and Ranking Member Granger for 
bringing these important measures to the floor.
  The Energy and Water division of this bill makes critical investments 
in energy and water systems to sustain life on Earth, to combat climate 
change, to build public water infrastructure, and to invest in nuclear 
security.
  I sincerely thank our ranking member, Mr. Simpson, who has been a 
truly constructive, able, and amiable partner in these efforts.

  I thank our subcommittee staff, these young, gifted, patriotic 
Americans who have worked so hard to put this bill together: Jaime 
Shimek, Angie Giancarlo, Scott McKee, Farouk Ophaso, Mark Arnone, Mike 
Brain, and Marcel Caldwell.
  Our bill rejects the President's short-sighted proposed cuts that 
would harm our Nation's interests for both today and tomorrow. Instead, 
our bill invests in the future to meet serious national priorities.
  Addressing the needs of the future both economically and 
environmentally requires that our Nation be at the forefront of global 
innovation. The Energy and Water division of this bill moves our Nation 
forward on that vital front.
  Further, American companies require advanced means to produce and 
ship goods efficiently in a highly competitive and uneven global 
marketplace. We seek to advantage them.
  Finally, ensuring water and electricity for millions of Americans 
seems fundamental, but there are weighty new challenges. We provide 
additional support to meeting those priorities.
  We achieve this by providing $7.65 billion for the Army Corps of 
Engineers, $652 billion above 2019, likely our Nation's premier 
infrastructure bill for 2020.
  We provide $1.66 billion for the Bureau of Reclamation, $110 million 
above 2019, for the desertification of Western States.
  We provide $38.6 billion for the Department of Energy, $2.9 billion 
above 2019. Within the DOE, Department of Energy, we responsibly fund 
our Nation's nuclear deterrent while providing a significant boost for 
vital nonproliferation efforts.
  Our bill increases the Department of Energy's Energy Efficiency and 
Renewable Energy program; ARPA-E, the advanced research programs; and 
the Office of Science to sharpen America's edge to invent the future 
and to ensure our Nation's energy leadership, security, and 
independence for generations to come, as all of our research labs, both 
public and private, across our country are being hacked constantly by 
those that seek to steal our patents and our innovation.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentlewoman has expired.
  Mrs. LOWEY. Madam Speaker, I yield an additional 30 seconds to the 
gentlewoman from Ohio (Ms. Kaptur).
  Ms. KAPTUR. In sum, the Energy and Water division of this bill 
invests in innovative programs to yield future opportunities and jobs.
  Our focus is on ensuring future economic prosperity. We underpin 
national security, and we bolster economic security and trade.
  Fundamentally, our work together prepares our country to mitigate, 
adapt to, and intelligently manage the awesome challenges of climate 
change, including the significant water events across our country, 
including our Great Lakes region.
  Our bill is needed more than ever to move America forward. We are 
living in a pivotal era. I look forward to answering any questions that 
individuals may have privately.
  Ms. GRANGER. Madam Speaker, I yield 5 minutes to the gentleman from 
Kentucky (Mr. Rogers).
  Mr. ROGERS of Kentucky. Madam Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman for 
yielding.
  I rise today in support of this second appropriations package to fund 
the government for fiscal year 2020. I especially want to state my 
heavy support for this portion of the bill that funds the State 
Department and our foreign operations around the world.
  I thank the distinguished chair, Mrs. Lowey, and the ranking member, 
Ms. Granger, on their masterful work to shepherd this compromise all 
the way through the maze that is the Congress to this floor where we 
sit today.
  I especially value Chairwoman Lowey's partnership on the State and 
Foreign Operations title of this bill, which she also chairs. She and I 
may differ on some issues--in fact, we do differ on some issues--but on 
the whole, this bill represents the priorities of Congress in support 
of our national security.
  The agreement includes significant funding to secure our 200-plus 
diplomatic posts around the world, our embassies, consulates, and the 
like, and to support critical allies like Israel, Jordan, Egypt, 
Georgia, and Ukraine. It will allow us to respond to a growing threat 
that China poses to our security.
  In our own hemisphere, the bill prioritizes funding for Latin America 
as the region continues to face instability from the crisis in 
Venezuela, as well as from the rampant drug problem and corruption.
  The bill also continues vigorous oversight of U.S. assistance, denies 
funding for the Green Climate Fund, and respects the sanctity of life 
around the world.
  This package also includes a number of provisions of critical 
importance to my district in southern and eastern Kentucky.
  First, there is a strong commitment to our coal miners and the 
communities where they live. I am exceedingly proud that a bill I 
cosponsored to protect our retired miners is also included in this 
bill. It ensures that these

[[Page H10589]]

hardworking individuals receive the healthcare and the pensions that 
they have earned. I hope the 100,000 families impacted by this 
provision will have peace of mind heading into this Christmas season.
  This bill also provides $115 million for the Abandoned Mine Lands 
Pilot Program, which has been monumentally successful in creating new 
economic development opportunities in Appalachia.

                              {time}  1230

  This funding is a strong complement to the Appalachian Regional 
Commission, which is robustly funded at $175 million in this package. 
Within the Department of Agriculture, there is strong emphasis on rural 
infrastructure, including broadband deployment.
  I am also proud that my Kentucky Wildlands National Heritage Area 
Study Act is included in today's package. I have been proud to work 
with Leader McConnell on this initiative to truly recognize the 
incredible natural and historic value of eastern Kentucky.
  This legislation will also ensure that the veterans in our region 
receive the care they need and deserve. I advocated for a new pilot 
program to provide transportation assistance for our Nation's many 
rural veterans, like those in eastern Kentucky, and I am grateful for 
the seed funding to get that off the ground.
  Finally, nearly $6 billion is provided for opioid addiction 
prevention, treatment, and recovery, and research into alternative 
therapies for pain management. A new loan repayment program that is 
funded in the bill will help get qualified treatment professionals into 
underserved communities like ours in Kentucky.
  But I am especially thankful for the inclusion in this bill of 
sufficient funds to help us fight the problem of opioid addiction, 
which got its start in my district some 15 years ago.
  Madam Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. I urge support 
of this bill.
  Mrs. LOWEY. Madam Speaker, I am pleased to yield 3 minutes to the 
gentleman from North Carolina (Mr. Price), the chairman of the 
Transportation, and Housing and Urban Development Subcommittee.
  Mr. PRICE of North Carolina. Madam Speaker, I am pleased to rise in 
strong support of H.R. 1865.
  I want to first thank our chairwoman, Nita Lowey, and also Ranking 
Member Kay Granger for their leadership and cooperation. I want to 
thank my good friend, Mario Diaz-Balart of Florida, for his 
collaborative approach. I couldn't ask for a better ranking member and 
partner in our subcommittee's work.
  The T-HUD section of this bill invests in America's transportation 
and housing infrastructure with a particular stress on safety, on 
addressing the needs of the most vulnerable, and on mitigating the 
impacts of climate change.
  It includes $74.3 billion in discretionary funding. That is an 
increase of $3.2 billion above the 2019 level, and it is $15.8 billion 
above the President's budget request.
  On the housing side of the ledger, all Section 8 vouchers are 
renewed. The HOME program and Community Development Block Grants each 
receive $100 million in increased funding, and there is a $95 million 
increase for public housing capital expenditures to address the 
maintenance backlog.
  Vital transportation programs are also robustly funded, including $1 
billion for BUILD, formerly TIGER, grants. We provide more than $3 
billion in discretionary resources above authorized levels for 
highways, transit, and aviation projects for every State and territory 
in this Nation. Amtrak, competitive rail grant programs, and port 
infrastructure also receive strong funding.
  These investments support a renewed commitment to safety. The FAA 
receives additional resources to bolster aircraft certification, 
including dedicated funding to hire new safety inspectors, engineers, 
and data scientists. Every State will receive new funding to repair 
aging and deficient bridges. And resources are provided to address 
hazards in Federally-assisted housing, such as carbon monoxide, radon, 
and lead.
  Vulnerable populations are targeted in our bill. We prioritized 
assistance for them, for example, for the construction of new housing 
units for the elderly and disabled, new vouchers for veterans, as well 
as resources for the homeless, people with HIV/AIDS, domestic violence 
survivors, and at-risk youth.
  Finally, I am proud that this legislation lays the groundwork to 
integrate resiliency principles into the full range of programs under 
the bill's jurisdiction. For example, we require in this bill HUD 
grantees to think ahead about storm and hazard mitigation as part of 
their planning process.
  So, in closing, we are proud of this bill, and we urge its support. 
It makes forward-looking investments while boosting safety and 
protecting vulnerable populations. It will benefit and serve all 
American communities, urban and rural, and lay the foundation for 
economic growth and prosperity.
  Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this bill.
  Ms. GRANGER. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from 
Washington (Ms. Herrera Beutler).
  Ms. HERRERA BEUTLER. Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 
1865, which includes funding for the Legislative Branch.
  The recommendation for fiscal year 2020 Legislative Branch Division 
provides for $5.049 billion. This is a 4.4 percent increase above 
fiscal year 2019.
  The allocation provides the budget request for the Office of the 
Congressional Workplace Rights and the Government Publishing Office, as 
well as increases for the House of Representatives, Capitol Police, 
Congressional Budget Office, Library of Congress, Government 
Accountability Office, and the Open World Leadership Center.
  I am really pleased that this bill supports the Capitol Police, as 
well as funding for important Architect of the Capitol security 
infrastructure improvements to keep the Capitol campus safe and to keep 
its visitors safe, its staff, the Members, and the folks who work here.
  I am also supportive of the funding that supports the Library of 
Congress' Visitor's Experience enhancements and other programs that my 
constituents, all of our constituents, enjoy regularly, as well as 
upgrades to the Capitol complex facilities for visitors and staff with 
disabilities, which will make it easier for the blind and the visually 
impaired to access and enjoy the Capitol complex.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentlewoman has expired.
  Ms. GRANGER. Madam Speaker, I yield the gentlewoman from Washington 
an additional 30 seconds.
  Ms. HERRERA BEUTLER. Madam Speaker, I appreciate Chairman Ryan's 
cooperation and support on several initiatives that are important to us 
and this institution. I would like to thank Chairwoman Lowey and 
Ranking Member Granger for their support and guidance throughout this 
process.
  Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to vote in favor of H.R. 1865.
  Mrs. LOWEY. Madam Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from 
Georgia (Mr. Bishop), the chairman of the Agriculture, Rural 
Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies 
Subcommittee.
  Mr. BISHOP of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman for the 
time, and I rise in support of H.R. 1865.
  As the chair of the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug 
Administration, and Related Agencies Subcommittee, I am pleased to 
briefly highlight the important national priorities addressed in this 
bill.
  From the safety of our food and medicines, to agriculture research, 
to rural development, and nutrition assistance, the programs in this 
bill touch the lives of every American on a daily basis. The strong 
investments we make in this bill will improve people's lives at home 
and abroad.
  The fiscal year 2020 Agriculture bill provides $23.5 billion in 
discretionary funding, $183 million above the fiscal year 2019 level. 
In addition, it provides the latest estimates for mandatory programs 
required by law.
  The legislation makes major investments, totaling almost $3.8 
billion, in our rural communities, including $1.45 billion for rural 
water and waste program loans and $545 million in grants for clean and 
reliable drinking water systems, $640 million for broadband programs, 
including $555 million for

[[Page H10590]]

the Re-Connect grants and loans, an issue with strong bipartisan 
support.
  The bill funds all of the domestic nutrition programs, including 
SNAP, WIC, and the Child Nutrition Programs, sufficiently to meet 
anticipated participation in fiscal year 2020.
  In addition, it provides $35 million for the Summer EBT program, $30 
million for the school kitchen equipment grants, and $5 million for the 
school breakfast expansion grants.
  The bill provides $1.8 billion for farm programs, including $35 
million to address staffing shortages at county offices to ensure 
farmers and producers receive the best possible customer service.
  It also extends and expands disaster assistance to continue assisting 
farmers, ranchers, and producers in States that were devastated by 
natural disasters, including Hurricane Michael that devastated my 
district.
  The legislation makes critical investments in agriculture research by 
providing $3.2 billion, a $171 million increase over fiscal year 2019.
  We provided record levels of resources for the Food for Peace and 
McGovern-Dole programs. These programs send American commodities all 
over the world to address global hunger and are an essential tool of 
American diplomacy.
  The Food and Drug Administration will receive $3.16 billion in 
discretionary funding, with specific funding dedicated to fighting rare 
cancers, gaining efficiencies for generic drug reviews, improving 
response to foodborne illness outbreaks, and the continued 
implementation of the Food Safety Modernization Act.
  The bill funds the Commodity Futures Trading Commission at $315 
million, a historic, necessary, and long-overdue increase.
  I am pleased that the bill provides funding for several programs 
authorized in the 2018 farm bill, including the 1890 National Scholars 
program.
  Finally, Madam Speaker, I would like to thank Chairwoman Lowey and 
Ranking Member Granger for their historic and effective leadership 
throughout the appropriations process. I would like to also thank the 
subcommittee's distinguished ranking member, Mr. Fortenberry. He has 
been a great partner during this process.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentleman has expired.
  Mrs. LOWEY. Madam Speaker, I yield an additional 30 seconds to the 
gentleman.
  Mr. BISHOP of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, of course I have to give a 
tremendous shout out to the hardworking Appropriations Committee staff, 
both majority and minority. They have worked hard through multiple 
challenges, and they have delivered us a good bill, although not 
perfect, to avoid a government shutdown.

  Madam Speaker, this is a good bill, and I urge my colleagues to 
support it.
  Ms. GRANGER. Madam Speaker, I yield 4 minutes to the gentleman from 
Idaho (Mr. Simpson).
  Mr. SIMPSON. Madam Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman for yielding 
time.
  Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 1865, the Further 
Consolidated Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2020, and particularly 
division C, the Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies 
Appropriations Act.
  Madam Speaker, before I get into the details of the bill, I would 
like to thank several Members involved in this effort: my chairwoman, 
Marcy Kaptur, and our Senate partners, Lamar Alexander and Dianne 
Feinstein. The four of us have now worked several Energy and Water 
conferences together, and I continue to appreciate the collegiality and 
determination to advance national and constituent interests that my 
colleagues bring to the discussions.
  Madam Speaker, I would also like to thank our full committee 
leadership, Chairwoman Lowey and Ranking Member Granger here in the 
House and Chairman Shelby and Ranking Member Leahy in the Senate, for 
their leadership and support throughout this year's process.
  As ranking member of the House Energy and Water Appropriations 
Subcommittee, I believe this fiscal year 2020 Energy and Water bill is 
a good bill, and I am pleased that so many House Republican priorities 
are included in this final bill.
  First and foremost, the bill strongly supports our national nuclear 
security programs, providing a total $16.7 billion for the National 
Nuclear Security Administration, including weapons activities, defense 
nuclear nonproliferation, and naval reactors.
  Weapons activities specifically is funded at $12.5 billion, an 
increase of $1.4 billion above fiscal year 2019. Within this amount, 
the bill fully funds the maintenance and modernization of our nuclear 
weapons systems, including each nuclear weapon life extension, 
alteration, and modification program, as well as activities to rebuild 
production capabilities for strategic materials, such as plutonium 
pits.
  Next, the bill includes substantial investments in our Nation's water 
resources infrastructure. The Corps of Engineers is funded at a total 
of $7.65 billion, an increase of $651 million above last year.
  Within this amount, an estimated $1.63 billion is for the Harbor 
Maintenance Trust Fund activities. That level exceeds the annual HMTF 
target. In fact, it represents 91.5 percent of the estimated revenues, 
compared to the revenue fiscal year 2020 target of 80 percent 
established in WRRDA in 2014.
  Finally, one of my personal priorities, the bill promotes innovation 
and growth in nuclear energy, funding research, development, and 
demonstration activities at $1.3 billion, an increase of $160 million 
above fiscal year 2019.
  Within this amount, the bill establishes a new advanced nuclear 
reactor demonstration program. The goal is to build two demonstration 
reactors by the mid-2020s, in a move towards commercializing the next 
generation of carbon-free nuclear energy technology to be deployed here 
in the United States and around the globe.
  I am also pleased to see several provisions included in other 
divisions of this bill. Specifically, the Interior and Environment 
Appropriations bill includes many important policies and funding 
provisions to ensure that sage grouse remain off the endangered species 
list.
  The agreement could not be more important for rural counties thanks 
to full funding for PILT and 2 years of SRS funding.
  This agreement is historic because it will be the first time the 
Forest Service and the Department of the Interior will have access to 
budget cap adjustments for wildfire fighting. This allows wildfires 
finally to receive equal treatment with other natural disasters and 
allows our land management agencies to focus on prevention efforts to 
get ahead of the issue.
  In the Agriculture Appropriations bill, this agreement delivers vital 
research funding for potatoes, grain, and other commodities, and it 
signals an important step forward for the sheep station in Dubois, 
Idaho, and acknowledges the diverse stakeholders who seek to 
collaborate and grow future research at the station. I am eager to 
continue the momentum to build capacity at Dubois.

  Finally, and probably most importantly, I thank the staff of all of 
our subcommittees, but particularly the ones I work with on Interior 
and Energy and Water. They do a tremendous job for us. They are here on 
weekends. They are here during holidays and other times behind the 
scenes, actually putting together these bills. This is a job we could 
not do without their support.
  All in all, this appropriations package, including the Energy and 
Water division, is a strong bill that incorporates many priorities, and 
I urge my colleagues to support it.
  Mrs. LOWEY. Madam Speaker, I am pleased to yield 3 minutes to the 
gentlewoman from Connecticut (Ms. DeLauro), the distinguished chair of 
the Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies 
Subcommittee.
  Ms. DeLAURO. Madam Speaker, I rise to speak about the fiscal year 
2020 appropriations bill for the Labor, Health and Human Services, 
Education, and Related Agencies Subcommittee.
  The Labor-H bill reflects our priorities as a Nation. It touches our 
constituents at every single stage of their life, from birth to 
retirement, for their

[[Page H10591]]

health, work, and education. It provides people with a better chance at 
a better life.
  For years, the Labor-H bill has been shortchanged. Now, we are making 
up for lost ground. We fought the Senate to win crucial investments. 
The result: a hard-fought, positive bill with a net increase of 3.5 
percent over 2019, or $6.5 billion more for the people of this country.
  I first want to thank Congresswoman Nita Lowey, the full 
Appropriations Committee chair. Her leadership and dedication to Labor-
H helped to ensure that this bill could create real opportunity for 
people. I thank our ranking member, Kay Granger, for her dedication and 
determination. And I acknowledge Congressman   Tom Cole, my partner, 
the ranking member of the subcommittee. We have found common ground 
over and over again, which is rooted in our shared values about what is 
good for the people of this country.
  Let me describe some of the investments.
  Education: $550 million increase for Child Care and Development Block 
Grant; $550 million increase for Head Start and $25 million increase 
for preschool development grants; $450 million increase for title I, 
$400 million increase for special education, and a new initiative in 
social and emotional learning, including $65 million in innovation 
grants; $93 million increase for minority-serving institutions and a 
$150 increase to Pell grants.
  Health: $2.6 billion increase for National Institutes of Health and 
$637 million increase for Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 
including tobacco prevention, public health data modernization, and 
suicide prevention; full funding for a new HIV initiative to eliminate 
new transmissions of HIV over the next decade; and continued high 
funding for State opioid grants.
  I am disheartened that the Republicans obstructed us from defending 
women's health from the administration's attack on the Title X program. 
We will continue that long fight, and we will win in the near term. All 
women's reproductive health must be on equal footing.
  An incredible win was $25 million for evidence-based gun violence 
prevention research, the first time in 20 years that we have provided 
money and resources to look at research on trying to prevent gun 
violence. It follows our hearing on gun violence research that was the 
first hearing that we had.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentlewoman has expired.
  Mrs. LOWEY. Madam Speaker, I yield an additional 30 seconds to the 
gentlewoman from Connecticut.
  Ms. DeLAURO. The significance of the achievement cannot be 
overstated. It will save lives.
  Labor: $48 million increase for worker protection, $30 million 
increase for the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act State grants, 
$25 million increase for Job Corps, and a new $40 million grant for 
community colleges to train people for in-demand jobs.
  For too long, workers and families have been shortchanged. We fought 
hard. We are making up for lost ground. We can make opportunity real 
for people.
  Let me thank the staff on this job, subcommittee staff Robin Juliano, 
Stephen Steigleder, Jen Cama, Jackie Kilroy, Laurie Mignone, Jared 
Bass, Philip Tizzani, and Brad Allen; my staff Letty Mederos, Liz 
Albertine, and Caitlin Peruccio; and the minority staff Susan Ross and 
Kathryn Salmon. As I say, our names are on the door, but they do the 
work for us.
  Ms. GRANGER. Madam Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from 
Florida (Mr. Diaz-Balart).
  Mr. DIAZ-BALART. Madam Speaker, I rise to support this bill, and 
particularly, I want to talk about the transportation and housing 
portion of it. Chairman Price and I worked with our Senate colleagues 
to craft a fair agreement to meet our Nation's transportation and 
housing needs.
  The T-HUD discretionary total is $74.3 billion, which is $1.5 billion 
below the House-passed level.
  I would note that there are a lot of pressures in this bill. We 
required $2 billion above last year just to meet housing inflation and 
another $2 billion just to make up for lost receipts, so there is a $4 
billion hole to start with.
  Some tough choices had to be made. Let me talk about specifics: $2.4 
billion for highway grants, which provides funding directly to our 
State DOTs, $1 billion for BUILD grants to help transform communities, 
and $225 million for port infrastructure. This bill also emphasizes 
safety, and that is something we should be proud of.
  For HUD, we provide $3.4 billion for Community Development Block 
Grants, a huge priority for Members, both Democrats and Republicans.
  The bill meets our commitment to provide housing assistance to our 
most vulnerable, including the elderly, the disabled, and our veterans.
  I am proudly particularly proud and pleased that the bill provides 
$2.8 billion for homeless assistance grants. I have seen the results of 
this program firsthand. In Miami-Dade County, we, in essence, 
effectively eliminated homelessness among veterans in our county.
  As a final point on the T-HUD bill, I would note that this agreement 
drops all the controversial riders in the bill. Once again, Chairwoman 
Lowey and Ranking Member Granger led us through difficult negotiations 
by working day and night and never giving up, and we are grateful for 
their leadership.
  Finally, I thank Chairman Price for his friendship and his 
partnership. He has been a joy and a delight to work with, as well as 
our Senate counterparts, Senator Collins and Senator Reed.
  I am proud of this bill. I think it is a great bill for 
transportation and infrastructure, and also for our housing needs, and 
I urge a ``yes'' vote.
  Mrs. LOWEY. Madam Speaker, I am very pleased to yield 3 minutes to 
the distinguished gentlewoman from Minnesota (Ms. McCollum), the chair 
of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Subcommittee.
  Ms. McCOLLUM. Madam Speaker, I rise in support of this bill. It is 
the product of bipartisan negotiations that reflect compromise and a 
shared desire to fund the Federal Government.
  The Interior and Environment section provides $36 billion, which is 
$437 million more than last year's fiscal year 2019 enacted bill.
  We make critical investments in environmental protection, in Indian 
Country, to public land management, and the arts.
  Here are a few highlights: $43 million for PFAS research to set 
standards for clean drinking water and for cleaning up PFAS; an 
additional $24 million for EPA enforcement and compliance activities, 
the first increase in a decade; the largest increase in a decade for 
the National Endowment for the Arts and Humanities, each funded at $162 
million; and the Land and Water Conservation Fund is at the highest 
level since 2003, with $495 million in new funding.
  The bill enhances the EPA's ability to protect human health and the 
health of our environment, providing $9.08 billion, the second-highest 
level ever for the agency. An all-time high for environmental justice 
funding is included at over $10 million.
  It also provides record funding for the endangered species program at 
a time when 1 million plant and animal species are at risk of 
extinction.
  We continue our subcommittee's nonpartisan approach to issues facing 
our Native American brothers and sisters by investing in programs 
critical to the health, safety, and well-being of Native peoples.
  In the bill, we are serious about addressing the climate crisis and 
recognize the importance of science in understanding how our planet is 
changing. We prioritize funding by providing $52 million for renewable 
energy development and $416 million for climate change research and 
adaptation activities, a $30 million increase.
  Programs in the Interior bill impact all of us, preserving our 
natural and cultural heritage to ensure the air we breathe and the 
water we drink is clean not only for today but for future generations.
  Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to 
support this bill. I wholeheartedly thank staff on both sides for their 
help in making this happen.
  Ms. GRANGER. Madam Speaker, I yield 4 minutes to the gentleman from 
Nebraska (Mr. Fortenberry).
  Mr. FORTENBERRY. Madam Speaker, first of all, let me say how thankful 
I am for the leadership of Chairman Bishop and, frankly, for the 
partnership that we have developed over this

[[Page H10592]]

past year. It has been truly remarkable. I also thank Chairwoman Lowey 
and Ranking Member Granger for their intensive effort around this 
important piece of legislation, and that of the staff. This is good for 
America.
  Agriculture, Madam Speaker, is, in its essence, really essential to 
the well-being of our country. The Agriculture portion of this entire 
package includes support for the hard work of our farmers, ranchers, 
and producers who give us something that we really all do take for 
granted, some of the lowest grocery prices in the world, as well as 
protection for the most vulnerable who are in the midst of food 
insecurity and disaster relief for humanitarian causes.
  Madam Speaker, in the midst of a House divided, I would like to say 
this: Food is food. A meal brings us together. Agriculture production 
is the basis for economic and social well-being, and I am very proud of 
this effort. We found a reasonable path forward to consensus in meeting 
the needs of fellow Members. This cooperation allowed us to fight hard 
to defend, in a bipartisan fashion, House Member priorities.
  For example, this bill includes funding streams for the building and 
rebuilding of critical infrastructure needed in our rural communities, 
from housing to utilities to economic development. Specifically, the 
bill includes $555 million for the ReConnect broadband program we 
started just 2 years ago. The Senate bill didn't include any money for 
this basic utility, but we have.

  The bill includes an additional $87 million for other rural broadband 
initiatives that will help bridge the gap and create an ecosystem of 
livability for telework, telehealth, precision agriculture, and a host 
of beneficial digital outcomes for rural America.
  Beyond food, this bill also includes a certain level of 
responsibility for our Nation's healthcare policy. We support 
initiatives at the Food and Drug Administration to enhance blood 
safety, stop opioid abuse, reduce generic drug prices, and further food 
safety. Continued investments in generic drug competition will help 
bring down prices for the healthcare needs of all of our constituents.
  The bill before us maintains a number of very important provisions, 
such as a Buy America requirement for water and waste infrastructure 
and flexibilities for child nutrition programs. Interestingly, as well, 
and of note, the sale of tobacco and vaping products now moves to 21 
years of age.
  No bill includes everything you fight for, but this bill includes a 
number of benefits for Americans in our diverse communities back home.
  It supports a number of smaller yet highly impactful programs, 
enhancing nutrition programs for Native Americans, supporting the Farm 
and Ranch Stress Assistance Network, and the Rural Microentrepreneur 
Assistance Program.
  Madam Speaker, let me highlight the importance of one particular 
program, the farm to school program. We are on the verge of a new 
movement in this country, connecting the farm to the family, the city 
to the country. People want to know where their food comes from, Madam 
Speaker. Programs like this will inspire our youth, build new markets, 
and uphold the value of agriculture to all America.
  Madam Speaker, this is a good bill for all of us, and I urge its 
support.
  Mrs. LOWEY. Madam Speaker, I am pleased to yield 3 minutes to the 
distinguished gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Ryan), the chairman of the 
Legislative Branch Subcommittee.

                              {time}  1300

  Mr. RYAN. Madam Speaker, I am pleased to rise in support of H.R. 
1865, in particular, division E, the fiscal year 2020 Legislative 
Branch appropriations.
  My thanks go to full committee Chairwoman Lowey and her ranking 
member, Kay Granger, for putting this entire bill together, not just 
this subcommittee. This has been an amazing process. I want to thank my 
minority counterpart, Representative Herrera Beutler, and all who have 
guided and supported this bill through.
  I am pleased to announce there is a $213 million increase to the 
Legislative Branch appropriations bill, 4.4 percent above fiscal year 
2019. This bill gives Members and committees the funding needed to 
improve their constituent services and legislative oversight 
responsibilities.
  With this bill, we have been able to increase our Members' 
representational allowance, support committee budgets, and restore 
funding shortfalls in the account that pays House health and retirement 
benefits.
  The bill will allow an increase in intern allowances, from $20,000 to 
$25,000 per Member office, so that a more diverse group can apply 
without worrying about the financial burden of working for free.
  The bill continues to fund the Wounded Warrior Program, as well as 
the new congressional Gold Star Family Fellowship Program.
  We have provided first-year funding for both the Office of Diversity 
and Inclusion and the Office of the Whistleblower Ombudsman so that 
Congress has the tools to encourage greater staff diversity and to 
effectively handle whistleblower complaints.
  It also includes sufficient funding to extend the Select Committee on 
the Modernization of Congress.
  The bill increases funding for our important support and oversight 
agencies: the CBO, the GAO, the GPO, and the Capitol Police.
  Members will be pleased to learn that our bill provides another $10 
million for the Library of Congress visitor experience, for a project 
total of $20 million.
  I am pleased that the bill includes a provision that permits an 
increase in the pay levels of senior congressional staff.
  I would also like to just make a comment or two on the broader bill. 
I think Speaker Pelosi said this earlier in the day, and I know 
Chairwoman Lowey said it earlier in the day and in the last few days.
  This appropriations bill, while it lacks things like the Butch Lewis 
Act, where we need to take care of pensions for some of our workers out 
in the country, this bill is about the future.
  There are investments in here in social and emotional learning, 
healthy food, the Department of Energy, and creating an energy 
incubator fund so that we can win the economy in the future around new 
forms of energy.
  This bill has money in it for new auto companies, $5 million for the 
Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing loan program, which will 
allow facilities like the one in Lordstown, Ohio, to refurbish itself 
to move into the future.
  This is a good bill, and I encourage people to vote for this bill. 
This bill will help America win the future.
  Madam Speaker, I am pleased to rise in support of H.R. 1865--in 
particular, Division E, Fiscal Year 2020 Legislative Branch 
Appropriations. My thanks to full Committee Chairwoman Lowey, her 
ranking Member Kay Granger, and my minority counterpart Rep. Herrera 
Beutler. They have all guided and supported me in my first year taking 
the helm of the Legislative Branch appropriations subcommittee. I'd 
also like to give a nod to our staff on both sides for their hard 
work--Faye Cobb, Sue Quantius, and Jenny Holmes.
  I'm pleased that we have the resources to start on the path to 
strengthening Congressional operations. Funding in the bill totals 
$5.049 billion--$213 million or 4.4 percent above fiscal year 2019. The 
bill gives Members and Committees the funding needed to improve their 
constituent services and legislative oversight responsibilities.
  With this bill, we have been able to increase the Members 
Representational Allowance, support Committee budgets, and restore 
funding shortfalls in the account that pays House health and retirement 
benefits. Intern allowances will increase from $20,000 to $25,000 per 
Member office so that a more diverse group can apply without worrying 
about the financial burden of working for free. The bill continues to 
fund the Wounded Warrior Program as well as the new Congressional Gold 
Star Family Fellowship Program, which was established this fall.
  We have provided first-year funding for both the Office of Diversity 
and Inclusion and the Office of Whistleblower Ombudsman so that 
Congress has the tools to encourage greater staff diversity and to 
effectively handle whistleblower complaints. The bill also includes 
sufficient funding to extend the Select Committee on the Modernization 
of Congress. We look forward to the implementation of their 
recommendations.
  The bill increases funding for our important support and oversight 
agencies--CBO, GAO, GPO and the Capitol Police.
  Members will be pleased to learn that our bill provides another $10 
million for the Library of Congress Visitors Experience project for a 
total of $20 million provided to date. Once developed, the project will 
result in better displays of many of the treasures in the Library's

[[Page H10593]]

collection, clearer communication of the Library's mission, and more 
activities targeted to children and youth.
  Finally, I'm pleased that the bill includes a provision that permits 
an increase in the pay levels of senior congressional staff. We will be 
able to slightly increase the salaries of our most experienced, senior 
staff. A higher rate will make the House more competitive to recruit 
highly skilled employees.
  Our bill begins the journey to making Congress more effective. I hope 
you will join me in voting for HR. 1865.
  Before concluding, I would like to acknowledge with regret the 
retirement of David Reich, the staff director of the Appropriations 
Legislative Branch subcommittee.
  David has a storied history in the budget and appropriations world, 
having served here for decades and for two masters of that trade--Rep. 
Martin Sabo and Rep. David Obey. He headed the staff of multiple 
appropriations subcommittees--Labor, HHS; Financial Services; and Leg 
Branch. He also kept a steady hand on the rudder in the full committee 
as committee counsel. In what could be partisan posts, David has won 
praise and admiration from both sides of the aisle.
  Besides being skilled in parliamentary and committee procedure, 
generous, patient, and self-effacing to a fault, David was always known 
for having the quick yet correct answer to any complex or arcane budget 
question thrown his way. David retired from Appropriations once, but 
was persuaded to return to be Chairwoman Lowey's staff for the Joint 
Select Committee on Budget and Appropriations Process Reform. Following 
that endeavor, he agreed to stay on for a time to be sure that my 
subcommittee got off to a steady start.
  We knew we were on borrowed time with him and that he was anxious to 
get back to his outside pursuits. David left in August and we are truly 
sorry to have lost him. Our best regards to him and his family as he 
continues his post-congressional life.
  Ms. GRANGER. Madam Speaker, I yield 4 minutes to the gentleman from 
Ohio (Mr. Joyce).
  Mr. JOYCE of Ohio. Madam Speaker, I thank the ranking member for the 
time and opportunity to speak today as the ranking member on the 
Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Subcommittee.
  I also want to thank the chair of the subcommittee, my friend and 
fellow Great Lakes advocate, Congresswoman Betty McCollum. We have 
worked tirelessly over the past month to negotiate a reasonable 
compromise in order to be able to deliver the product before you today 
and avoid a government shutdown.
  While it is not the bill I would have written and there are things in 
here that I might not necessarily agree with, I do believe that there 
is more in this bill that unites us than divides us.
  The bill increases America's investment in our own abundant energy 
and mineral resources. It fully funds the Payments in Lieu of Taxes 
program which is so critical to counties with Federal lands. It also 
invests $1.8 billion for maintenance and construction of our Nation's 
parks and our other public lands.
  This agreement also provides for a 29 percent increase to fight 
devastating wildfires that threaten our communities.
  This agreement provides an additional $392 million for healthcare, 
law enforcement, and related programs to honor our country's sacred 
trust and treaty obligations to the American Indians and Alaska 
Natives.
  I am deeply proud of our nonpartisan efforts in support of these 
important programs. But just as important as the targeted funding 
increases are the longstanding policy provisions we have fought to hold 
on to and the new poison pills that we have successfully fought to 
eliminate.
  For example, we have succeeded in continuing two provisions blocking 
the Green New Deal regulation of greenhouse gas emissions from 
livestock. We have successfully blocked an attempt to limit 
reorganization of the Department of the Interior and relocation of the 
BLM and EPA offices.
  Finally, as a lifelong Ohioan, I want to highlight the work we did to 
protect the Great Lakes, one of the greatest natural resources and 
economic powerhouses in the United States. They hold 95 percent of the 
United States' fresh surface water. The lakes also support over 1.5 
million jobs and provide $62 billion in wages, annually.
  Protecting the Great Lakes is not a red issue or a blue issue. Many 
Members of Congress from both sides of the aisle understand the 
important role the lakes play in our lives and the need to protect 
them.
  My colleague Betty McCollum has been a great partner to work with in 
my fight to protect the Great Lakes, and I am happy to report the 
conference agreement includes $320 million--a $20 million increase--for 
the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, which helps us provide and 
address invasive species like Asian carp, reduce phosphorus runoff that 
causes harmful algal blooms, and protect and preserve the Great Lakes 
for future generations.
  In closing, I want to thank Chairwoman Lowey and Ranking Member 
Granger for their leadership and the staffs on both sides of the aisle 
for their extremely hard work to get the annual appropriations bills 
over the finish line once again.
  I urge all of my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on this bill.
  Mrs. LOWEY. Madam Speaker, I am pleased to yield 3 minutes to the 
gentlewoman from Florida (Ms. Wasserman Schultz), the distinguished 
chairwoman of the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related 
Agencies Subcommittee.
  Ms. WASSERMAN SCHULTZ. Madam Speaker, I thank Chairwoman Lowey for 
yielding.
  I rise in support of this funding package which includes Military 
Construction-Veterans Affairs funding, which I am privileged to chair, 
and seven other appropriations bills.
  This package increases funding for our national priorities and 
soundly rejects President Trump's unserious and immoral budget. This 
package increases funding and makes sure that our bicameral, bipartisan 
compromise that we reached on the Military Construction-Veterans 
Affairs bill meets the needs of our servicemembers, supports our 
military families, and provides for our veterans.
  I want to underscore that the agreement does not provide any money 
for backfilling the funding that President Trump took--really, stole--
from our military projects after he declared a fake national emergency 
for the border wall, and it also denies advanced backfilling by the 
administration for their next attempt to steal more funding.
  There are zero dollars in the Military Construction-Veterans Affairs 
legislation for this wasteful border wall project.
  We secured a solid $1 billion in military construction, notably in 
family housing improvements, energy resiliency, and child development 
centers.
  Further, this agreement fully funds family housing construction at 
$1.3 billion and includes $140.8 million for costs associated with 
mold, lead-based paint, and vermin.
  I am disappointed that we could not get agreements from the 
administration to limit the transfer of funds from all MILCON dollars, 
but I am pleased that we were able to prevent vital disaster funding 
from being transferred in the future.
  The administration needs to think twice about moving money from 
congressionally approved projects to fund a border wall and understand 
that there is no back door around Congress' power of the purse.
  I am proud that the bill includes $585 million in funding for gender-
specific care for women for the first time, as well as additional 
funding for homeless assistance programs, whole health, and mental 
health and suicide prevention programs.
  As a member of the Energy and Water Development, and Related Agencies 
Subcommittee, I am thrilled by how much this bill invests in water 
infrastructure, clean energy, and economic ecosystem restoration--and 
by how much this bill helps my home State of Florida.

  The bill includes mine and other Floridians' request for full funding 
for Everglades restoration at $200 million. Even more, it fully 
authorizes the Central Everglades Planning Project, a suite of 
restoration projects that aims to fix freshwater flows in south 
Florida's ecosystem.
  I am also proud to have helped secure six new construction starts and 
funding to help major ports like Port Everglades, in my district, 
expand and adapt to the modern economy.
  As a breast cancer survivor, I am glad that the Labor-HHS-Education 
division of the bill includes language that I sponsored to ensure that 
young women have access to coverage for breast cancer screenings 
beginning at age 40.

[[Page H10594]]

  It also includes $5 million to fund my EARLY Act legislation for the 
CDC to promote breast cancer awareness for young and at-risk women.
  The Foreign Operations division ensures that America helps 
Venezuelans who are suffering through instability and economic pain and 
includes funding for democracy promotion, human rights, and civil 
society programs in Venezuela.
  Finally, I am pleased that the minibus also includes legislation that 
I sponsored and worked on with my south Florida colleagues. The 
Venezuela Emergency Relief, Democracy Assistance, and Development Act 
will require greater monitoring and strategies to prevent Russian 
meddling in Venezuela's affairs, a bill I sponsored; increased 
humanitarian aid; and restrict the exportation of weapons used to 
stifle domestic dissent in Venezuela.
  I urge all Members to support this bill.
  Ms. GRANGER. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from 
New Jersey (Mr. Smith).
  Mr. SMITH of New Jersey. Madam Speaker, I want to thank both leaders, 
but I want to thank Kay Granger for her extraordinary support for 
legislation that I authored, two bills that are included in this act. I 
thank Nita Lowey as well, the distinguished chairwoman.
  The first bill is known as the TICK Act. Twenty-one years ago, in 
1998, I introduced the Lyme Disease Initiative Act of 1998. Every 2 
years, every Congress, with well over 100 cosponsors, would have a bill 
that would look to create a national strategy in combating Lyme 
disease.
  This legislation includes that strategy, and I am deeply grateful for 
that. It also is now named after Senator Kay Hagan, who, sadly, died 
from a tick-borne disease in October. But it provides a national 
strategy, $150 million authorization for Lyme research, prevention, and 
treatment programs, and enables additional Federal agencies to step up 
and coordinate their efforts in the fight against Lyme.
  As we know from the working group, there are 300,000 new cases every 
year. The high-end estimate is 437,000 cases. Chronic Lyme is a very 
serious problem.
  The NIH recently came out with their new strategy, and I am very 
grateful to the Trump administration for doing that because there is no 
real detection capability that is reliable, so the diagnosis is often 
faulty. There is also the very real problem that there are no 
therapeutics that can deal with Lyme disease, especially if it is 
missed in the beginning from a tick bite.
  Madam Speaker, the second bill has to do with ending neglected 
tropical diseases, another one of my bills that just passed this House 
on December 3.
  We know for a fact that 1.4 billion people are walking around with 
horrific worms and parasites which, terribly, cause death, but also 
there is a great deal of morbidity attached to it.
  Thankfully, this legislation has that bill in its entirety in it, so 
there is no need to worry about the Senate taking up this bill. It will 
become law, and I am thankful for that.
  I had a number of hearings on neglected tropical diseases in Africa 
and other places, particularly where there is a warm environment. 
People are walking around with parasites. They are walking around with 
dengue and all of the other diseases, so I am very grateful for both of 
those bills.
  Mrs. LOWEY. Madam Speaker, I am pleased to yield 1 minute to the 
gentlewoman from California (Ms. Lee), a senior member of the 
Appropriations Committee.
  Ms. LEE of California. Madam Speaker, let me thank Chairwoman Lowey 
for yielding, but also for her tremendous and tireless work, day and 
night, on behalf of the American people, and also our ranking member, 
Kay Granger, for her leadership.
  I rise in strong support of this domestic and foreign assistance 
appropriations bill. First, as a member of the Labor, Health and Human 
Services, Education, and Related Agencies Subcommittee and also the 
Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and 
Related Agencies Subcommittee, I am really pleased to see such a 
comprehensive bill that strongly invests in our rural and our urban 
communities.
  For example, there is $266 million for the new Ending HIV initiative. 
This is new funding. We have an increase of $42 million to historically 
Black colleges and universities and a $19 million increase to Hispanic-
serving institutions. These institutions help improve the higher 
education of our students of color; also, an increase in the Healthy 
Food Financing Initiative and the College Hunger Initiative, which this 
bill addresses.
  It also includes $65 million for the Education Innovation Research 
grants for computer science for young girls and students of color and 
$20 million for Special Olympics education programs, which the 
President's budget initially proposed to eliminate.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentlewoman has expired.
  Mrs. LOWEY. Madam Speaker, I yield the gentlewoman an additional 10 
seconds.
  Ms. LEE of California. Madam Speaker, I also want to thank our chair 
of the State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Subcommittee for 
the increase for our international AIDS program and for the Global 
Fund.

                              {time}  1315

  Ms. GRANGER. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes the gentlewoman from 
Puerto Rico (Miss Gonzalez-Colon).
  Miss GONZALEZ-COLON of Puerto Rico. Madam Speaker, I thank Ranking 
Member Granger for this opportunity, and I appreciate the hard work and 
bipartisan work that the gentlewoman, Chairwoman Lowey, and the 
leadership have put together to make this bill a reality.
  I rise in strong support of the spending package for fiscal year 2020 
because it includes several provisions that directly impact 3.2 million 
citizens living in Puerto Rico by providing funding for the Nutritional 
Assistance Program, as well as the Puerto Rico Air National Guard 
projects, and the Army Corps of Engineers, among others.
  I am especially pleased that the agreement provides 2-year funding 
for the island's Medicaid program. The funding levels included in the 
bill will give certainty to the 1.1 million beneficiaries who rely on 
this program to meet their healthcare needs, as well as to put into 
effect several critical sustainability measures designed to enhance the 
provision of healthcare. This guarantee of funding for the next 2 years 
constitutes an important step towards correcting the problems arising 
from the chronic underfunding of the program.
  I look forward to continuing this conversation for a long-term 
solution that guarantees citizens in Puerto Rico a standard of 
healthcare that we can expect from a nation as great as ours.
  Mrs. LOWEY. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the distinguished 
gentlewoman from California (Ms. Pelosi), who is an appropriator. She 
is and has been valuable in our discussions of this bill and getting 
the completion of these bills in an orderly and timely way.
  Ms. PELOSI. Madam Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman for yielding in a 
very gracious and generous way. More importantly, I want to thank her 
for her tremendous leadership as chair of the Appropriations Committee 
to bring a bill to the floor that has shared values, meeting the needs 
of the American people. And I want to commend Ranking Member Kay 
Granger for her leadership, as well, so that we can have strong, 
bipartisan support in meeting the needs of the American people.
  I congratulate Madam Chair for getting all of our bills done this 
summer. The gentlewoman worked around the clock and across the aisle to 
overcome any opposition and to craft a strong appropriation package 
that we are bringing to the floor.
  As the gentlewoman mentioned, I am an appropriator, and when I served 
on committee I had always said to the administration and to others: 
When left to their own devices, our appropriators can get the job done. 
They have experience in working in a bipartisan way, they understand 
everyone's concerns, regional needs, and the rest, and that we must by 
the clock get the job done. I thank the gentlewoman for doing that and 
making today possible.
  Madam Speaker, this weekend I was pleased to join a bipartisan 
delegation to observe the 75th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge. 
We spent time in Luxembourg and in Belgium where so much of that 
conflict took place. We

[[Page H10595]]

met with the leaders of the community, the king, the queen, and the 
archduke; and that was all wonderful.
  But what was really important, and the purpose of our visit was to 
meet with our own veterans--now 75 years later, who are revisiting the 
site--and to thank them, to hear their ongoing stories, and to hear 
their purpose in fighting.
  Some of them were as young as 18 years old at the Battle of the 
Bulge. Do the math. They are in their nineties. One of them told me he 
was 20, and one was 21. The oldest one is 98 years old now. But all of 
them were full of vitality and concern about our country as we go 
forward. We promised them in a tribute to their courage, their 
determination, and their patriotism that we know that our 
responsibility is to build a future worthy of their sacrifice and that 
we also want to always be ready to meet the needs of our men and women 
in uniform today as they protect and defend democracy and freedom as 
our valiant veterans did 75 years ago.
  Mr. Conaway was with us on that trip--a very valued leader on that 
trip--and I think you will agree, Madam Speaker, that America was truly 
blessed by the courage of our veterans then and now.
  So I am glad that in this legislation we meet the needs of those who 
are providing for our defense and the security of our country to make 
us the home of the brave and the land of the free.
  I do believe that our success on this legislation began when working 
together we were able to come to an agreement on the caps in funding to 
make sure that although we obviously all support our national security, 
we want to be sure that people understood that we measure the strength 
of America not just in our military might but in the health, education, 
and well-being of the American people, and this part of the legislation 
does just that.
  We will vote on the earlier part and now on the part that deals with, 
shall we say, the health and well-being of the American people. With 
this agreement we are investing in the good health of the American 
people. We are protecting the quality of affordable healthcare of 
millions as we permanently repeal healthcare taxes and block the 
President's ACA sabotage nuclear options by preventing him from ending 
silver loading and auto re-enrollment.
  At the same time we are investing in innovation and the future of 
healthcare with robust funding for the National Institutes of Health 
that our distinguished colleague, Mr. Smith of New Jersey, mentioned, 
we continue our leadership to combat the opioid epidemic, and we honor 
our responsibility to our fellow Americans in Puerto Rico and the other 
territories.
  Of course, we want more, and, of course, we need to get more at some 
point. But for now we are very pleased with the fact that we have 2 
years' adequate funding to go forward. Again, I look forward to 
preparing further into the future.
  While this legislation does not contain permanent fixes for 
everything, we are proud that it lays the groundwork for further 
progress to end the financial catastrophe of surprise billing, to lower 
prescription drug costs, and to extend robust funding for key health 
initiatives.

  This appropriations package also achieves critical victories for, as 
I mentioned, our national security and the economic security of the 
American people. Our appropriations legislation makes America safer at 
home by funding gun violence research at the CDC and the National 
Institutes of Health for the first time in more than 20 years; and 
funding election security grants to protect against foreign attack 
which the minority, the Republicans, then the majority, refused to do 
last year.
  These bills make workers and families stronger by protecting the 
pensions of 100,000 coal miners; reauthorizing the job-creating Export-
Import Bank; extending the National Flood Insurance Program; protecting 
schools, small businesses, and other pillars of communities, as well as 
commercial interests by reauthorizing the Terrorism Risk Insurance 
Program and doing so in a timely fashion; extending key tax provisions 
through 2020 that encourage investments in clean energy, provide relief 
for families recovering from disasters, support investment in low-
income communities with the low-income housing tax credit, and protect 
families facing high medical costs for the loss of home to foreclosure.
  Again, this is very personal. People always talk about coming to 
Washington and having a seat at the table. The most important seat at 
the table for us is the seat at America's kitchen table where people 
talk about their plans for the future and how they intend to meet their 
financial obligations, whether it is the education of their children, 
the mortgage on their house, their medical expenses, or providing for 
their own pension future.
  Personally and officially, I am proud that this legislation takes 
strong action to advance the health and well-being of America's 
children. The three most important issues, in my view, facing the 
Congress are the well-being of our children, our children, our 
children; strengthening Family First Prevention Services; securing 
record funding levels for Head Start, Child Care and Development Block 
Grants, and Title I schools; and extending funding for thousands of 
schools in rural communities across 41 States because there is no 
better investment that Congress can make than an investment in the 
education of our children.
  By the way, there is nothing that we can do that brings more 
resources to the Federal Treasury than investing in education: early 
childhood, K-12, higher education, and lifetime learning training for 
our workers.
  I also want to acknowledge the important investment that this 
legislation does in IDEA, meeting the needs of our children with 
additional challenges.
  In this House our title and job description are one and the same: 
Representative. Today we must pass this legislation so that we can meet 
the needs of the people whom we are privileged to represent. I know 
that this is going to be a strong, bipartisan vote, and I think that is 
a very good thing for the health, the economic security, and the well-
being of the American people.
  I am grateful to Ranking Member Granger, Chairwoman Lowey, and all of 
the leadership of our subcommittees who made this successful day 
possible for us.
  Madam Speaker, I urge a strong, bipartisan vote on minibus 1 and 
minibus 2, and, again, a great victory for our children, our children, 
our children.
  Ms. GRANGER. Madam Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time to 
close.
  Madam Speaker, this is a strong conservative package that provides 
the President with the funding and authority he needs. I look forward 
to passing these bills through the House and Senate and getting them to 
the President's desk for his signature before time runs out on Friday.
  Madam Speaker, before I close, I want to give a special thanks to my 
staff director, Anne Marie Chotvacs, for her tireless work and 
leadership throughout the process. Her wisdom and guidance have been 
invaluable to me and all the committee members.
  Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join me in voting in favor of 
these bills, and I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mrs. LOWEY. Madam Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time.
  Madam Speaker, as we close debate on this important package, I want 
to thank the many hardworking staff who made this possible. While there 
are too many to name them all, many thanks to my staff at the State, 
Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Subcommittee; my entire 
committee staff led by Staff Director Shalanda Young, Deputy Staff 
Director Chris Bigelow, and to the minority staff as well. To the 
extraordinary staff in my congressional office, I want to express my 
appreciation because it is teamwork that brought us to this point.
  Madam Speaker, I urge support for the bill, and I yield back the 
balance of my time.
  Ms. JACKSON LEE. Madam Speaker, I rise in strong support of the House 
Amendment to Senate Amendment to H.R. 1865, which makes the 
consolidated appropriations needed to fund critical departments, 
agencies, and programs of the federal government through September 30, 
2020.
  I thank Chairman Lowey, Ranking Member Granger, and their fellow 
House conferees

[[Page H10596]]

for their work in reaching this bipartisan agreement.
  Specifically, this legislation provides $540.4 billion and reflects 
conference agreements for the FY 2020 Labor-Health and Human Services-
Education, Agriculture-Rural Development-Food and Drug Administration, 
Energy and Water Development, Interior-Environment, Legislative Branch, 
Military Construction-Veterans Affairs State-Foreign Operations, and 
Transportation-Housing and Urban Development appropriations bills.
  Madam Speaker, in total this appropriations package provides:
  1. $35.9 billion in base defense funding;
  2. $484.5 billion in base nondefense funding;
  3. $0.6 billion for defense Overseas Contingency Operations;
  4. $8 billion for nondefense OCO;
  5. $6.2 billion for defense emergency requirements;
  6. $4.6 billion for nondefense emergency requirements, program 
integrity, and wildfire suppression; and
  7. $0.6 billion for 21st Century Cures Act funding.
  I appreciate the Appropriations Committee working with me to include 
the following Jackson Lee Amendments in the legislation:


                               LABOR-HHS

  1. Amendment reprogramming $10,000,000 to support greater diversity 
in the pool of diabetes research professionals and patients 
participating in clinical trials.
  2. Amendment reprogramming $10,000,000 to support programs providing 
outreach and support services targeting college students at greatest 
risk of not completing a college degree.


                      STATE AND FOREIGN OPERATIONS

  3. Amendment reprogramming $1,000,000 to combat the practice of 
Female Genital Mutilation.
  4. Amendment reprogramming $1,000,000 to combat the poaching and 
trafficking of endangered species.


                              AGRICULTURE

  5. Amendment increasing funding by $2,000,000 for the USDA agency 
that provides grant research funding for ``1890s Land Grant 
Universities,'' which are 19 Historically Black Colleges and 
Universities.


                                 T-HUD

  6. Amendment reprograms $10,000,000 to support urban bicycle and 
pedestrian safety programs financed through the National Infrastructure 
Investments account.
  7. Amendment reprograms Office of Inspector General account to 
provide $2 million to investigate the Department's delay in releasing 
over $5 billion in Hurricane Harvey Disaster Community Block Grant 
funds.
  Madam Speaker, left to our own devices, House Democrats clearly could 
and would have made many different and better funding decisions, but 
this agreement is the best deal attainable in the circumstances, and 
importantly, it responsibly funds the government for the remainder of 
the fiscal year.
  Coming from a border state, I am very pleased that this legislation 
does not provide the President the billions of dollars he demanded for 
a wasteful, ineffective, and immoral concrete wall.
  Madam Speaker, the bipartisan agreement before us rejects the Trump 
Administration's attacks on the environment by blocking the 
Administration's deep cuts to initiatives to protect clean water, clean 
air and public lands and it invests more than $9 billion in the EPA and 
Land and Water Conservation Fund.
  The agreement reinforces and strengthen America's global leadership 
by rejecting the Trump Administration's radical cuts and securing $9.1 
billion in security assistance for allies, including $3.03 billion for 
Israel, $5.9 billion for PEPFAR and $1.7 billion for the Food for Peace 
program.
  Madam Speaker, I would like to draw particular attention to 
provisions in the consolidated appropriations conference report that 
are of special interest to my congressional district.

  Madam Speaker, shutting down the Government of the United States, or 
any portion thereof, is not an acceptable tactic or strategy for 
resolving differences regarding policy, funding levels, or governing 
philosophy.
  It should never happen.
  And that begins with an overwhelming majority vote in support of the 
House Amendment to Senate Amendment to H.R. 1865.
  Mr. RICE of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, I rise today to clarify 
the intent of Section 205 of this amendment and thank you for including 
my 60 day disaster relief extension in the House Amendment to the 
Senate Amendment to H.R. 1865--Further Consolidated Appropriations Act 
of 2020, although I cannot support this bill in its final form.
  The language of Sec. 205 of the House Amendment to the Senate 
Amendment to H.R. 1865--Further Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2020 
was originally introduced in my bill, H.R. 3287--Tax Relief and 
Expedited Assistance for Disasters Act of 2019 (TREAD Act). This 
provision provides disaster related tax relief to those who are victims 
of a natural disaster. Specifically, this provision allows for people 
to receive a 60 day extension to file their taxes if there is a 
federally declared disaster. I want to clarify that this extension is 
not limited to the current Internal Revenue Service (IRS) policy of 
extending by a declaration for FEMA Individual Assistance or FEMA 
Public Assistance, but may be triggered by any federal assistance under 
the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, as 
amended, and Related Authorities as of August 2016. This would include 
Technical Assistance to State and Local Governments for Effective 
Warnings or any assistance outlined in Section 202 of the Stafford Act. 
Additionally, this provision does not prevent the IRS from extending 
this tax relief beyond 60 days.
  Thank you again for including this common sense provision to assist 
disaster relief victims.
  Mr. CARTER of Texas. Madam Speaker, I rise to express my support for 
the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies 
Appropriations bill, 2020, as it is included in H.R. 1865.
  The bill includes a total of $11.315 billion for military 
construction projects and military family housing. This is $1.05 
billion above the FY19 enacted level and includes $1.045 billion in 
funding for the Services' unfunded priority projects.
  At the Subcommittee's first hearing for the FY20 appropriations cycle 
in February 2019, we heard from the Senior Enlisted leader in each 
Service. Each of them testified about the need to ensure clean, safe 
and quality housing and childcare facilities for Servicemembers and 
their families. I'm pleased this bill maintains the additional $141 
million included in the House-passed bill to help the Services improve 
oversight of privatized military housing, as well as the additional $33 
million for the Services to speed up planning and design for childcare 
centers where they are most urgently needed.
  The bill includes a total of $233 million for the Energy Conservation 
and Infrastructure Resilience Initiative. With this funding, the bill 
funds 7 projects on the Services' unfunded priority list. The bill also 
includes nearly $400 million in the Base Closure account to clean up 
former military installations. Some of these installations have PFOS/
PFOA contamination in their drinking water supplies. The bill provides 
an additional $60 million for cleanup efforts.
  I am thrilled to mention that the bill provides a total of $67 
million for urgent projects at Fort Hood. This includes $32 million for 
a new barracks; $18.5 million for a vehicle bridge; and $16.5 million 
for the Central Energy Plant. This is good news for the home of the 
Army's premier heavy armor units and good news for the surrounding 
communities. We have a lot to do to reinvest in Fort Hood and its 
soldiers, civilians and families. I am already looking forward to 
continuing this effort next year.
  For the Department of Veterans Affairs, the bill provides a total of 
$92 million for Veterans programs. Recognizing the scourge of Veteran 
suicides, the bill includes $9.4 billion, an increase of $20 million 
above the budget request, for mental health and suicide prevention 
programs. It also includes $800 million for medical and prosthetic 
research, an increase of $21 million above FY19, and for the first time 
carves out a specific amount of funding ($585 million) for women 
Veterans' health care.
  The bill provides a total of $15.3 billion to fully fund 
implementation of the MISSION Act (Medical Community Care) and includes 
funding to provide for Veterans now eligible for benefits and care 
under the Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Act. The bill provides $1.5 
billion for VA to continue to develop an interoperable electronic 
health record system and maintains the strong reporting and oversight 
guidelines to ensure the efforts stays on track and on budget. It also 
includes a new provision that limits VA's research that uses canines, 
felines, and non-human primates.
  The bill includes funding for four agencies that provide a unique and 
important service to the Nation's Veterans. They are the American 
Battle Monuments Commission, the Army's National Military Cemeteries 
and Arlington National Cemetery, the Armed Forces Retirement Home, and 
the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims. While the allocation would 
not permit significant funding increases for these agencies, the 
Subcommittee does continue to support their unique missions. It is fair 
to say the Subcommittee strongly support Arlington National Cemetery 
and its Southern Expansion. We firmly believe the Cemetery must remain

[[Page H10600]]

available into the 2050 timeframe to serve Veterans.
  Importantly, the bill provides more than $6.22 billion in emergency 
funding to repair damage from earthquakes, flooding, hurricanes, and 
tornadoes that affected military installations in 2018 and 2019. China 
Lake Naval Weapons Station, Camp Lejeune, and Tyndall and Offutt Air 
Force Bases sustained significant damage in these storms. Without this 
funding, our national security will suffer as these installations are 
struggling to fully execute their missions.
  In closing, I would like to thank the Subcommittee's Chairwoman for 
her commitment to our bill and her willingness to work across party and 
regional lines. I also extend my great appreciation to the 
Subcommittee's majority staff, Matt Washington, Sarah Young, Jenny 
Hollrah, Nicole Cohen, and Keihysha Cenord, as well as the 
Subcommittee's minority staff, Betsy Bina and Kiya Batmanglidj, for 
their expertise, generosity, and support for America's Servicemen and 
women and our Nation's Veterans.
  I urge my colleagues to support this bill.
