     SEC. 326. OFFSHORE WIND ENERGY DEVELOPMENT, MORRO BAY, 
                   CALIFORNIA.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Since 2016, the Department of Defense and Department of 
     the Navy have been working with State and Federal 
     stakeholders to determine whether a commercial lease for the 
     development of renewable energy off the coast of Morro Bay, 
     California could be developed in a manner that is compatible 
     with the training and readiness requirements of the 
     Department of Defense.
       (2) Military readiness and the ability to conduct realistic 
     training are critical to our national security; however, 
     energy security and other ocean uses are also important. 
     These interests should be balanced to the extent practicable 
     when analyzing offshore energy proposals.
       (3) In August 2019, Members of Congress, the Assistant 
     Secretary of Defense for Sustainment, senior officials from 
     other Federal agencies, and state and local elected 
     representatives met to discuss a path forward to accommodate 
     wind energy development off the Central Coast of California 
     while ensuring the Department of Defense was able to continue 
     meeting its testing, training, and operational requirements.
       (4) Following the initial meeting in August 2019, the 
     stakeholder group continued meeting at roughly monthly 
     intervals through 2019 and into 2020 to discuss options and 
     work towards a mutually agreeable solution for renewable 
     energy development and continued military testing, training, 
     and operational requirements off the Central Coast of 
     California.
       (5) In May 2020, the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for 
     Energy, Installations, and Environment notified stakeholders 
     that despite the previous year of negotiations, it was his 
     view any wind energy developments off the Central Coast of 
     California may not be viewed as being compatible with 
     military activities. This unilateral decision was made 
     abruptly, without providing any supporting analysis or 
     acknowledgment of the progress and commitments made during 
     previous negotiations, and was not in the spirit of 
     cooperation and collaboration that had driven the previous 
     nine months of stakeholder engagements.
       (6) Stakeholder confidence in the Department of Defense 
     review process is paramount. Abrupt and unilateral changes of 
     course erode confidence and undermine the State, local, and 
     industry trust in a fair, transparent, and predictable 
     adjudication of potential conflicts.
       (7) In early 2019, in order to create continuity between 
     the offshore and terrestrial processes, the Department of 
     Defense consolidated its review of proposed energy 
     development projects so that offshore energy proposals were 
     now included in the Military Aviation and Installation 
     Assurance Clearinghouse (the Clearinghouse). The 
     Clearinghouse has a proven record for reviewing proposed 
     energy development projects through a fair and transparent 
     process. The Morro Bay proposal pre-dates this consolidation 
     but underwent a similar Department of Defense led 
     compatibility review.
       (8) Congress has generally supported the transparent and 
     fair Clearinghouse review process, as well as all efforts 
     between the Department of Defense and other stakeholders to 
     reach solutions that allow for the development of energy 
     projects in a manner that is compatible with military 
     testing, training, and operational requirements.
       (9) Legislating a solution to a specific energy development 
     proposal should only be reserved for rare occasions. Due to 
     Navy's abrupt and unilateral decision to walk away from 
     productive negotiations, after months of good-faith efforts 
     by other stakeholders and public engagement, the threshold 
     for congressional intervention has been reached.
       (b) Responsibility.--All interaction on behalf of the 
     Department of the Navy with the California Energy Commission, 
     Federal agencies, State and local governments, and potential 
     energy developers regarding proposed offshore wind energy off 
     the central coast of California shall be performed through 
     the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition 
     and Sustainment.
       (c) Briefing Requirement; Limitation.--
       (1) Briefing.--Not later than 180 days after the date of 
     the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall 
     provide to the Committees on Armed Services and the Committee 
     on Natural Resources of the House of Representatives a 
     briefing on status of the review by the Offshore Energy 
     Working Group of the request to locate at least two offshore 
     wind lease areas proximate to and within the Morro Bay Call 
     Area. Such briefing shall include--
       (A) a detailed map that shows any areas identified;
       (B) proposed mitigations that would enable compatible 
     development in the areas identified;
       (C) any unresolved issues; and
       (D) any other terms of the agreement reached with the 
     California Energy Commission, other Federal agencies, State 
     and local governments, and potential energy developers.
       (2) Limitation.--The Secretary of Defense may not issue a 
     final offshore wind assessment that proposes wind exclusion 
     areas and may not object to an offshore energy project in the 
     Central Coast of California that has filed for review by the 
     Military Aviation and Installation Assurance Clearinghouse 
     until the Secretary provides the briefing required under 
     paragraph (1).
       (d) Limitation on Use of Funds.--Of the amounts authorized 
     to be appropriated by this Act or otherwise made available 
     for the Department of Defense for fiscal year 2021, not more 
     than 75 percent may be obligated or expended for the Office 
     of the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Energy, 
     Installations, and Environment until the date that is 30 days 
     after the date on which the briefing required under 
     subsection (c)(1) is provided.

       (2) specifying the type of waiver or exception used; and

     SEC. 828. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE PROHIBITION ON CERTAIN 
                   TELECOMMUNICATIONS AND VIDEO SURVEILLANCE 
                   SERVICES OR EQUIPMENT.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) Prohibiting the use of telecommunications and video 
     surveillance products or services from certain Chinese 
     entities within the Federal Government's supply chain is 
     essential to our national security.
       (2) Section 889 of the John S. McCain National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115-232; 
     132 Stat. 1917; 41 U.S.C. note prec. 3901) restricts Federal 
     agencies from procuring, contracting with entities that use, 
     or funding the purchase of certain telecommunications 
     products of Chinese companies determined by Congress to pose 
     a substantial threat to the security of our communication 
     infrastructure.
       (3) Specifically, section 889(a)(1)(B) of such Act, 
     effective August 13, 2020, will prohibit Federal agencies 
     from entering into, extending, or renewing a contract with an 
     entity that uses covered telecommunications and video 
     surveillance equipment or services from designated Chinese 
     companies, including Huawei and ZTE, in their supply chains.
       (4) As of July 1, 2020, the Federal Acquisition Regulatory 
     Council has yet to release a draft rule for public comment on 
     the implementation of the prohibitions described in section 
     889(a)(1)(B) of such Act, leaving Federal agencies and 
     contractors that provide equipment and services to the 
     Federal Government without implementation guidance necessary 
     to adequately plan for or comply with the prohibitions.
       (5) Belated, and then hurried, implementation of this 
     critical prohibition puts at risk the Federal Government's 
     ability to acquire essential goods and services and increases 
     vulnerability in the supply chain through inconsistent 
     implementation.
       (6) A senior Department of Defense leader testified on June 
     10, 2020, that, ``I am very concerned about being able to 
     implement [the prohibition] in August, as well as totally 
     comply within two years . . . I believe we need more time''.
       (7) Subsequent to the enactment of the John S. McCain 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 
     (Public Law 115-232), Congress established the Federal 
     Acquisition Security Council (FASC)--comprised of senior 
     officials from the Office of Management and Budget, General 
     Services Administration, Department of Defense, Department of 
     Homeland Security and the intelligence community--to 
     streamline the Federal Government's supply chain risk 
     management efforts and develop criteria and processes for 
     supply chain information sharing among executive agencies.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) successful implementation of the prohibition on using 
     or procuring certain telecommunications and video 
     surveillance equipment under section 889 of the John S. 
     McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
     2019

[[Page H3176]]

     (Public Law 115-232; 132 Stat. 1917; 41 U.S.C. note prec. 
     3901) is critical to protecting the supply chain of the 
     Federal Government, and Federal agencies should draw upon the 
     expert resources available (such as the Federal Acquisition 
     Security Council established under subchapter III of chapter 
     13 of title 41, United States Code) to ensure implementation 
     of such prohibition is done in a comprehensive and 
     deliberative manner; and
       (2) the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council shall ensure 
     successful implementation of such prohibition by providing 
     sufficient time for public comment and review of any related 
     rulemaking.

       (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) it is in the national security interests of the United 
     States to deny terrorists safe haven in Afghanistan, protect 
     the United States homeland, uphold the United States 
     partnership with the Government of Afghanistan and 
     cooperation with the Afghan National Defense and Security 
     Forces, and protect the hard-fought rights of women, girls, 
     and other vulnerable populations in Afghanistan;
       (2) a rapid military drawdown and a lack of United States 
     commitment to the security and stability of Afghanistan would 
     undermine diplomatic efforts for peace;
       (3) the current agreement between the United States and the 
     Taliban does not provide for the appropriate protections for 
     vulnerable populations, does not create conditions for the 
     rejection of violence and prevention of terrorist safe 
     havens, and does not represent a realistic diplomatic 
     solution, based on verifiable facts and conditions on the 
     ground, that provides for long-term stability; and
       (4) the Administration has a constitutional obligation to 
     provide Congress with timely and comprehensive information on 
     the status of security operations and diplomatic efforts in a 
     form that can be transparently communicated to the American 
     people.
       (b) Limitation.--Until the date on which the Secretary of 
     Defense, in concurrence with each covered official, submits 
     the report described in subsection (c) to the appropriate 
     congressional committees, none of the amounts authorized to 
     be appropriated for fiscal year 2020 or 2021 for the 
     Department of Defense may be obligated or expended for any 
     activity having either of the following effects:
       (1) Reducing the total number of Armed Forces deployed to 
     Afghanistan below the lesser of--
       (A) 8,000, or
       (B) the total number of the Armed Forces deployed as of the 
     date of the enactment of this Act.

     include each of the following:

     ongoing United States counterterrorism mission against the 
     Islamic State, al-Qaeda, and associated forces;
       (B) will not unduly increase the risk to United States 
     personnel in Afghanistan;
       (C) will not increase the risk for the expansion of 
     existing or formation of new terrorist safe havens inside 
     Afghanistan;
       (D) will be undertaken with the consultation and 
     coordination of allies supporting the United States- and 
     North Atlantic Treaty Organization-led missions; and

     security and in furtherance of United States policy toward 
     Afghanistan for achieving an enduring diplomatic solution.

                   IN OPERATION INHERENT RESOLVE.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the Peshmerga of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq have 
     made, and continue to make, significant contributions to the 
     security of Northern Iraq, by defending nearly 650 miles of 
     critical terrain, to degrade, dismantle, and ultimately 
     defeat the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) in Iraq as 
     a partner in Operation Inherent Resolve;
       (2) although ISIS has been severely degraded, their 
     ideology and combatants still linger and pose a threat of 
     resurgence if regional security is not sustained;
       (3) a strong Peshmerga and Kurdistan Regional Government is 
     critical to maintaining a stable and tolerant Iraq in which 
     all faiths, sects, and ethnicities are afforded equal 
     protection under the law and full integration into the 
     Government and society of Iraq;
       (4) continued security assistance, as appropriate, to the 
     Ministry of Peshmerga Affairs of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq 
     in support of counter-ISIS operations, in coordination with 
     the Government of Iraq, is critical to United States national 
     security interests; and
       (5) continued United States support to the Peshmerga, 
     coupled with security sector reform in the region, will 
     enable them to more effectively partner with other elements 
     of the Iraqi Security Forces, the United States, and other 
     coalition members to consolidate gains, hold territory, and 
     protect infrastructure from ISIS and its affiliates in an 
     effort to deal a lasting defeat to ISIS and prevent its 
     reemergence in Iraq.

     North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), with non-NATO 
     partners, and with other international organizations such as 
     the European Union;
       (3) the Baltic states are model NATO allies in terms of 
     burden sharing and capital investment in materiel critical to 
     United States and allied security, investment of over 2 
     percent of their gross domestic product on defense 
     expenditure, allocating over 20 percent of their defense 
     budgets on capital modernization, matching security 
     assistance from the United States, frequently deploying their 
     forces around the world in support of allied and United 
     States objectives, and sharing diplomatic, technical, 
     military, and analytical expertise on defense and security 
     matters;
       (4) the United States should continue to strengthen 
     bilateral and multilateral defense by, with, and through 
     allied nations, particularly those which possess expertise 
     and dexterity but do not enjoy the benefits of national 
     economies of scale;
       (5) the United States should pursue consistent efforts 
     focused on defense and security assistance, coordination, and 
     planning designed to ensure the continued security of the 
     Baltic states and on deterring current and future challenges 
     to the national sovereignty of United States allies and 
     partners in the Baltic region; and
       (6) such an initiative should include an innovative and 
     comprehensive conflict deterrence strategy for the Baltic 
     region encompassing the unique geography of the Baltic 
     states, modern and diffuse threats to their land, sea, and 
     air spaces, and necessary improvements to their defense 
     posture, including command-and-control infrastructure, 
     intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities, 
     communications equipment and networks, and special forces.

     SEC. 1243. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON SUPPORT FOR ESTONIA, LATVIA, 
                   AND LITHUANIA.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) The Baltic countries of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania 
     are highly valued allies of the United States, and they have 
     repeatedly demonstrated their commitment to advancing our 
     mutual interests as well as those of the NATO Alliance.
       (2) Operation Atlantic Resolve is a series of exercises and 
     coordinating efforts demonstrating the United States' 
     commitment to its European partners and allies, including the 
     Baltic countries of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, with the 
     shared goal of peace and stability in the region. Operation 
     Atlantic Resolve strengthens communication and understanding, 
     and is an important effort to deter Russian aggression in the 
     region.
       (3) Through Operation Atlantic Resolve, the European 
     Deterrence Initiative undertakes exercises, training, and 
     rotational presence necessary to reassure and integrate our 
     allies, including the Baltic countries, into a common defense 
     framework.
       (4) All three Baltic countries contributed to the NATO-led 
     International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan, 
     sending troops and operating with few caveats. The Baltic 
     countries continue to commit resources and troops to the 
     Resolute Support Mission in Afghanistan.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--Congress--
       (1) reaffirms its support for the principle of collective 
     defense in Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty for our 
     NATO allies, including Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania;
       (2) supports the sovereignty, independence, territorial 
     integrity, and inviolability of Estonia, Latvia, and 
     Lithuania as well as their internationally recognized 
     borders, and expresses concerns over increasingly aggressive 
     military maneuvering by the Russian Federation near their 
     borders and airspace;
       (3) expresses concern over and condemns subversive and 
     destabilizing activities by the Russian Federation within the 
     Baltic countries; and
       (4) encourages the Administration to further enhance 
     defense cooperation efforts with Estonia, Latvia, and 
     Lithuania and supports the efforts of their Governments to 
     provide for the defense of their people and sovereign 
     territory.

     SEC. 1244. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON SUPPORT FOR GEORGIA.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) Georgia is a valued friend of the United States and has 
     repeatedly demonstrated its commitment to advancing the 
     mutual interests of both countries, including the deployment 
     of Georgian forces as part of the former International 
     Security Assistance Force (ISAF) and the current Resolute 
     Support Mission led by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization 
     (NATO) in Afghanistan and the Multi-National Force in Iraq.
       (2) The European Deterrence Initiative builds the 
     partnership capacity of Georgia so it can work more closely 
     with the United States and NATO, as well as provide for its 
     own defense.
       (3) In addition to the European Deterrence Initiative, 
     Georgia's participation in the NATO initiative Partnership 
     for Peace is paramount to interoperability with the United 
     States and NATO, and establishing a more peaceful environment 
     in the region.
       (4) Despite the losses suffered, as a NATO partner, Georgia 
     is committed to the Resolute Support Mission in Afghanistan 
     with the fifth-largest contingent on the ground.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     the United States should--
       (1) reaffirm support for an enduring strategic partnership 
     between the United States and Georgia;
       (2) support Georgia's sovereignty and territorial integrity 
     within its internationally-recognized borders, and does not 
     recognize the independence of the Abkhazia and South Ossetia 
     regions currently occupied by the Russian Federation;
       (3) continue support for multi-domain security assistance 
     for Georgia in the form of lethal and non-lethal measures to 
     build resiliency, bolster deterrence against Russian 
     aggression, and promote stability in the region, by--
       (A) strengthening defensive capabilities and promote 
     readiness; and
       (B) improving interoperability with NATO forces; and
       (4) further enhance security cooperation and engagement 
     with Georgia and other Black Sea regional partners.

     SEC. 1245. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON BURDEN SHARING BY PARTNERS 
                   AND ALLIES.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The United States' alliances and other critical defense 
     partnerships are a cornerstone of Department of Defense (DOD) 
     efforts to deter aggression from our adversaries, counter 
     violent extremism, and preserve United States national 
     security interests in the face of challenges to those 
     interests by Russia, China and other actors.
       (2) The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is the 
     most successful military alliance in history, having deterred 
     war between major state powers for more than 70 years.
       (3) Collective security and the responsibility of each 
     member of the security of the other members as well as the 
     alliance as a whole is a pillar of the NATO alliance.
       (4) NATO members other than the United States collectively 
     expend over $300,000,000,000 in defense investments annually 
     and maintain military forces totaling an estimated 1,900,000 
     service members, bolstering the alliance's collective 
     capacity to counter shared threats.
       (5) At the NATO Wales Summit in 2014, NATO members pledged 
     to strive to increase their own defense spending to 2 percent 
     of their respective gross domestic products and to spend at 
     least 20 percent of their defense budgets on equipment by 
     2024 as part of their burden sharing commitments.
       (6) Since 2014, there has been a steady increase in allied 
     defense spending, with 22 member countries meeting defense 
     spending targets in 2018 and having submitted plans to meet 
     the targets by 2024.
       (7) In addition to individual defense spending 
     contributions, NATO allies and partners also contribute to 
     NATO and United States operations around the world, including 
     the Resolute Support Mission in Afghanistan and the Global 
     Coalition to Defeat the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria 
     (ISIS).
       (8) South Korea hosts a baseline of 28,500 United States 
     forces including the Eighth Army and Seventh Air Force.
       (9) South Korea maintains Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense 
     and Patriot Batteries that contribute to regional Ballistic 
     Missile Defense, is a participant in the Enforcement 
     Coordination Center, and is a significant contributor to 
     United Nations peacekeeping operations.
       (10) South Korea is an active consumer of United States 
     Foreign Military Sales (FMS) with approximately 
     $30,500,000,000 in active FMS cases and makes significant 
     financial contributions to support forward deployed United 
     States forces in South Korea, including contributions of 
     $924,000,000 under the Special Measures Agreement in 2019 and 
     over 90 percent of the cost of developing Camp Humphreys.
       (11) Japan hosts 54,000 United States forces including the 
     Seventh Fleet, the only forward-deployed United States 
     aircraft carrier, and the United States Marine Corps' III 
     Marine Expeditionary Force.
       (12) Japan maintains Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense and 
     Patriot Batteries that contribute to regional Ballistic 
     Missile Defense, conducts bilateral presence operations and 
     mutual asset protection missions with United States forces, 
     and is a capacity building contributor to United Nations 
     peacekeeping operations.
       (13) Japan is an active consumer of United States FMS with 
     approximately $28,400,000,000 in active FMS cases and makes 
     significant financial contributions to enable optimized 
     United States military posture, including contributions of 
     approximately $2,000,000,000 annually under the Special 
     Measures Agreement, $187,000,000 annually under the Japan 
     Facilities Improvement Program, $12,100,000,000 for the 
     Futenma Replacement Facility, $4,800,000,000 for Marine Corps 
     Air Station Iwakuni, and $3,100,000,000 for construction on 
     Guam to support the movement of United States Marines from 
     Okinawa.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the United States Government should focus on United 
     States national security requirements for investment in 
     forward presence, joint exercises, investments, and 
     commitments that contribute to the security of the United 
     States and collective security, and cease efforts that solely 
     focus on the financial contributions of United States allies 
     and partners when negotiating joint security arrangements;

[[Page H3198]]

       (2) the United States must continue to strengthen its 
     alliances and security partnerships with like-minded 
     democracies around the world to deter aggression from 
     authoritarian competitors and promote peace and respect for 
     democratic values and human rights around the world;
       (3) United States partners and allies should continue to 
     increase their military capacity and enhance their ability to 
     contribute to global peace and security;
       (4) NATO allies should continue working toward their 2014 
     Wales Defense Investment Pledge commitments;
       (5) the United States should maintain forward-deployed 
     United States forces in order to better ensure United States 
     national security and global stability; and
       (6) alliances and partnerships are the cornerstone of 
     United States national security and critical to countering 
     the threat posed by malign actors to the post-World War II 
     liberal international order.

     SEC. 1246. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON NATO'S RESPONSE TO THE COVID-
                   19 PANDEMIC.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has been 
     working with allies and partners to provide support to the 
     civilian response to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (commonly 
     referred to as ``COVID-19'') pandemic, including logistics 
     and planning, field hospitals, and transport, while 
     maintaining NATO's operational readiness and continuing to 
     carry out critical NATO missions.
       (2) Since the beginning of the pandemic, NATO allies and 
     partners have completed more than 350 airlift flights, 
     supplying hundreds of tons of critical supplies globally, 
     have built nearly 100 field hospitals and dedicated more than 
     half a million troops to support the civilian response to the 
     pandemic.
       (3) NATO's Euro-Atlantic Disaster Response Coordination 
     Centre has been operating 24 hours, seven days a week to 
     coordinate requests for supplies and resources.
       (4) The NATO Support and Procurement Agency's Strategic 
     Airlift Capability and Strategic Airlift International 
     Solution programs have chartered flights to transport medical 
     supplies between partners and allies.
       (5) NATO established Rapid Air Mobility to speed up 
     military air transport of medical supplies and resources to 
     allies and partners experiencing a shortage of medical 
     supplies and personal protective equipment.
       (6) In June 2020, NATO Defense Ministers agreed to future 
     steps to prepare for a potential second wave of the COVID-19 
     pandemic, including a new operation plan, establishing a 
     stockpile of medical equipment and supplies, and a new fund 
     to acquire medical supplies and services.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) NATO's response to the COVID-19 pandemic is an 
     excellent example of the democratic alliance's capacity 
     tackling overwhelming logistical challenges through close 
     collaboration;
       (2) the United States should remain committed to 
     strengthening NATO's operational response to the pandemic; 
     and
       (3) the United States should fulfill its commitments made 
     at the 2020 NATO Defense Ministerial and continue to bolster 
     the work of the Euro-Atlantic Disaster Response Coordination 
     Centre, the NATO Support and Procurement Agency's Strategic 
     Airlift Capability and Strategic Airlift International 
     Solution programs, and other efforts to utilize NATO's 
     capabilities to support the civilian pandemic response.

     countries; and
       (C) ensures a persistent, predictable United States 
     presence to reinforce regional defense;
       (4) enhancing regional defense requires robust efforts to 
     increase capability, readiness, and responsiveness to deter 
     and mitigate destabilizing activities;

       (6) an integrated, coherent, and strategic program of 
     activities in the Indo-Pacific region, similar to the 
     European Deterrence Initiative (originally the European 
     Reassurance Initiative), will enhance United States presence 
     and positioning, allow for additional exercises, improve 
     infrastructure and logistics, and build allied and partner 
     capacity to deter aggression, strengthen ally and partner 
     interoperability, and demonstrate United States commitment to 
     Indo-Pacific countries;
       (7) an integrated, coherent, and strategic program of 
     activities in the Indo-Pacific region will also assist in 
     resourcing budgetary priorities and enhancing transparency 
     and oversight of programs and activities to better enable a 
     coordinated and strategic plan for Department of Defense 
     programs;
       (8) not less than $3,578,360,000 of base funding should be 
     allocated to fully support such program of activities in 
     fiscal year 2021; and

                   STATES-TAIWAN DEFENSE RELATIONSHIP.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) Taiwan is a vital partner of the United States and is 
     critical to a free and open Indo-Pacific region;
       (2) the Taiwan Relations Act (22 U.S.C. 3301 et seq.) and 
     the ``Six Assurances'' are both cornerstones of United States 
     relations with Taiwan;
       (3) the United States should continue to strengthen defense 
     and security cooperation with Taiwan to support the 
     development of capable, ready, and modern defense forces 
     necessary for Taiwan to maintain a sufficient self-defense 
     capability;
       (4) consistent with the Taiwan Relations Act, the United 
     States should strongly support the acquisition by Taiwan of 
     defense articles and services through foreign military sales, 
     direct commercial sales, and industrial cooperation, with an 
     emphasis on anti-ship, coastal defense, anti-armor, air 
     defense, defensive naval mining, and resilient command and 
     control capabilities that support the asymmetric defense 
     strategy of Taiwan;
       (5) the President and Congress should determine the nature 
     and quantity of such defense articles and services based 
     solely upon their judgment of the needs of Taiwan, as 
     required by the Taiwan Relations Act and in accordance with 
     procedures established by law;
       (6) the United States should continue efforts to improve 
     the predictability of United States arms sales to Taiwan by 
     ensuring timely review of and response to requests of Taiwan 
     for defense articles and services;
       (7) the Secretary of Defense should promote policies 
     concerning exchanges that enhance the security of Taiwan, 
     including--
       (A) opportunities with Taiwan for practical training and 
     military exercises that--
       (i) enable Taiwan to maintain a sufficient self-defense 
     capability, as described in section 3(a) of the Taiwan 
     Relations Act (22 U.S.C. 3302(a)); and
       (ii) emphasize capabilities consistent with the asymmetric 
     defense strategy of Taiwan;
       (B) exchanges between senior defense officials and general 
     officers of the United States and Taiwan, consistent with the 
     Taiwan Travel Act (Public Law 115-135), especially for the 
     purpose of enhancing cooperation on defense planning and 
     improving the interoperability of United States and Taiwan 
     forces; and
       (C) opportunities for exchanges between junior officers and 
     senior enlisted personnel of the United States and Taiwan;
       (8) the Secretary of Defense should consider expanded air 
     and naval engagements and training with Taiwan to enhance 
     regional security;
       (9) the United States and Taiwan should expand cooperation 
     in humanitarian assistance and disaster relief including 
     conducting port calls in Taiwan with the United States Naval 
     Ship Comfort and United States Naval Ship Mercy;
       (10) the Secretary of Defense should consider options, 
     including exercising ship visits and port calls, as 
     appropriate, to expand the scale and scope of humanitarian 
     assistance and disaster response cooperation with Taiwan and 
     other regional partners so as to improve disaster response 
     planning and preparedness;
       (11) the Secretary of Defense should continue regular 
     transits of United States Navy vessels through the Taiwan 
     Strait and encourage allies and partners to follow suit in 
     conducting such transits to demonstrate the commitment of the 
     United States and its allies and partners to fly, sail, and 
     operate anywhere international law allows;
       (12) the violation of international law by the Government 
     of China with respect to the Joint Declaration of the 
     Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and 
     Northern Ireland and the Government of the People's Republic 
     of China on the Question of Hong Kong, done at Beijing 
     December 19, 1984, is gravely concerning and erodes 
     international confidence in China's willingness to honor its 
     international commitments, including not to change the status 
     quo with respect to Taiwan by force;
       (13) the increasingly coercive and aggressive behavior of 
     China towards Taiwan, including growing military maneuvers 
     targeting Taiwan, is contrary to the expectation of the 
     peaceful resolution of the future of Taiwan; and
       (14) the United States and Taiwan should expand 
     consultation and cooperation on combating the Coronavirus 
     Disease 2019 (``COVID-19'') and seek to share the best 
     practices and cooperate on a range of activities under this 
     partnership.

     Washington on March 26, 1979, and employ best efforts to 
     prevent any violation of its terms;

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) On April 19, 2020, the Federal Communications 
     Commission issued an order and authorization granting Ligado 
     Networks LLC the authority to operate a nationwide 
     terrestrial communications network using the 1526-1536 
     megahertz band, the 1627.5-1637.5 megahertz band, or the 
     1646.5-1656.5 megahertz band.
       (2) In an attempt to address interference to the Global 
     Positioning System operating near those bands, Ligado 
     Networks LLC has committed to assuming the costs mitigating 
     any interference caused by their network.
       (3) In the approval order, the Federal Communications 
     Commission directed that ``Ligado takes all necessary 
     mitigation measures to prevent or remediate any potential 
     harmful interference to U.S. Government devices, including 
     devices used by the military, that are identified both pre- 
     and post-deployment of Ligado's network.''.
       (4) In a letter to the Committee on Armed Services of the 
     House of Representatives dated May 21, 2020, Ligado Networks 
     LLC reaffirmed the commitment to bear the costs to the 
     Department of Defense, stating that the ``FCC directed Ligado 
     to provide protections to GPS devices using its spectrum by 
     imposing stringent coordination, cooperation, and replacement 
     obligations on Ligado, so that Ligado bears the burden'' and 
     ``Make no mistake: the obligation is ours, and the burden 
     falls solely on our company.''.
       (b) Prohibition.--Except as provided by subsection (c), 
     none of the funds authorized to be appropriated by this Act 
     or otherwise made available for fiscal year 2021 or any 
     subsequent fiscal year for the Department of Defense may be 
     obligated or expended to retrofit any Global Positioning 
     System device or system, or network that uses the Global 
     Positioning System, in order to mitigate interference from 
     commercial terrestrial operations using the 1526-1536 
     megahertz band, the 1627.5-1637.5 megahertz band, or the 
     1646.5-1656.5 megahertz band.
       (c) Actions Not Prohibited.--The prohibition in subsection 
     (a) shall not apply to any action taken by the Secretary of 
     Defense relating to--
       (1) conducting technical or information exchanges with the 
     entity that operates the commercial terrestrial operations in 
     the megahertz bands specified in such subsection;
       (2) seeking compensation for interference from such entity; 
     or
       (3) Global Positioning System receiver upgrades needed to 
     address other resiliency requirements.

     SEC. 1610. REPORT ON RESILIENT PROTECTED COMMUNICATIONS 
                   SATELLITES.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) The national command, control, and communications 
     system of the Department of Defense is essential to the 
     national security of the United States.
       (2) The Department of Defense requires the space segments 
     of such system to be resilient and survivable to address 
     advanced threats from Russia and China.
       (3) The next-generation overhead persistent infrared 
     missile warning satellites are being upgraded with enhanced 
     resiliency features to make them much less vulnerable to 
     attack and will begin launch in 2025.
       (4) Because missile warning satellites rely on protected 
     communications satellites to relay warnings and response 
     orders, the next-generation overhead persistent infrared 
     missile warning satellites will require protected 
     communications satellites with enhanced resiliency features, 
     however, the current plan of the Space Force is to provide 
     those capabilities with the evolved strategic satellite 
     communications program that will not be available until 2032 
     or later.
       (5) As a result, the Chief of Space Operations should 
     implement an accelerated plan to achieve more resilient 
     protected communications satellites without delay.
       (b) Report.--Not later than 60 days after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, the Chief of Space Operations shall 
     submit to the congressional defense committees a report on 
     how the Space Force will address the need for resilient 
     protected communications satellites during the years 2025 
     through 2032.

     note) is amended by striking ``2021'' and inserting ``2023''.

     SEC. 1653. DEVELOPMENT OF HYPERSONIC AND BALLISTIC MISSILE 
                   TRACKING SPACE SENSOR PAYLOAD.

       (a) Findings; Sense of Congress.--
       (1) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (A) Subsection (d) of section 1683 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91; 10 
     U.S.C. 2431 note), as amended by section 1683 of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 
     116-92), requires the Director of the Missile Defense Agency 
     to develop a hypersonic and ballistic tracking space sensor 
     payload to address missile defense tracking requirements.
       (B) The budget of the President for fiscal year 2021 
     submitted under section 1105 of title 31, United States Code, 
     did not provide any funding for the Missile Defense Agency to 
     continue the development of such sensor payload.
       (2) Sense of congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (A) regardless of the overall architecture for a missile 
     defense tracking space layer, the Director of the Missile 
     Defense Agency should remain the material developer for the 
     hypersonic and ballistic tracking space sensor payload to 
     ensure that--
       (i) unique hypersonic and ballistic missile tracking 
     requirements are met; and
       (ii) the system can be integrated into the existing missile 
     defense system command and control,

[[Page H3215]]

     battle management, and communications system; and
       (B) the Secretary of Defense should ensure transparency of 
     funding for this effort to ensure proper oversight can be 
     conducted on this critical capability.
       (b) Limitation.--Subsection (d) of section 1683 of the 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 
     (Public Law 115-91; 10 U.S.C. 2431 note), as amended by 
     section 1683 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 116-92), is amended by adding at 
     the end the following new paragraph:
       ``(3) Limitation.--Of the funds authorized to be 
     appropriated by the National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2021 or otherwise made available for fiscal year 
     2021 for operation and maintenance, Defense-wide, for the 
     Space Defense Agency, not more than 50 percent may be 
     obligated or expended until the date on which the Secretary 
     submits the certification under paragraph (2)(B).''.
       (c) Coordination.--Subsection (a) of such section is 
     amended by striking ``the Commander of the Air Force Space 
     Command and'' and inserting ``the Chief of Space Operations, 
     the Commander of the United States Space Command, the

     SEC. 1654. ANNUAL CERTIFICATION ON HYPERSONIC AND BALLISTIC 
                   MISSILE TRACKING SPACE SENSOR PAYLOAD.

       (a) Finding; Sense of Congress.--
       (1) Finding.--Congress finds that the budget submitted by 
     the President under section 1105(a) of title 31, United 
     States Code, for fiscal year 2021 does not fully fund an 
     operational capability for the hypersonic and ballistic 
     missile tracking space sensor within the tracking layer of 
     the persistent space-based sensor architecture of the Space 
     Development Agency, despite such space sensor being a 
     requirement by the combatant commanders and being highlighted 
     as a needed capability against both hypersonic and ballistic 
     threats in the Missile Defense Review published in 2019.
       (2) Sense of congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     the Missile Defense Agency hypersonic and ballistic missile 
     tracking space sensor must be prioritized within the 
     persistent space-based sensor architecture of the Space 
     Development Agency to ensure the delivery of capabilities to 
     the warfighter as soon as possible.
       (b) Annual Certification.--Subsection (d) of section 1683 
     of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
     2018 (Public Law 115-91; 10 U.S.C. 2431 note), as amended by 
     section 1653, is further amended by adding at the end the 
     following new paragraph:
       ``(4) Annual certification.--On an annual basis until the 
     date on which the hypersonic and ballistic tracking space 
     sensor payload achieves full operational capability, the 
     Secretary of Defense, without delegation, shall submit to the 
     appropriate congressional committees a certification that--
       ``(A) the most recent future-years defense program 
     submitted under section 221 of title 10, United States Code, 
     includes estimated expenditures and proposed appropriations 
     in amounts necessary to ensure the development and deployment 
     of such space sensor payload as a component of the sensor 
     architecture developed under subsection (a); and
       ``(B) the Commander of the United States Space Command has 
     validated both the ballistic and hypersonic tracking 
     requirements of, and the timeline to deploy, such space 
     sensor payload.''.

     SEC. 1655. ALIGNMENT OF THE MISSILE DEFENSE AGENCY WITHIN THE 
                   DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) Since the Missile Defense Agency was aligned to be 
     under the authority, direction, and control of the Under 
     Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering pursuant to 
     section 205(b) of title 10, United States Code, the advanced 
     technology development budget requests in the defense budget 
     materials (as defined in section 231(f) of title 10, United 
     States Code) have decreased by more than 650 percent, from a 
     request for $292,000,000 for fiscal year 2018 (the highest 
     such request) to a request for $45,000,000 for fiscal year 
     2021.
       (2) The overwhelming majority of the budget of the Missile 
     Defense Agency is invested in programs that would be 
     categorized as acquisition category 1 efforts if such 
     programs were administered under the acquisition standards 
     under Department of Defense Directive 5000.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that, 
     in light of the findings under subsection (a), upon the 
     completion of the independent review of the organization of 
     the Missile Defense Agency required by section 1688 of the 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 
     (Public Law 116-92; 133 Stat. 1787), the Secretary of Defense 
     should reassess the alignment of the Agency within the 
     Department of Defense to ensure that missile defense efforts 
     are being given proper oversight and that the Agency is 
     focused on delivering capability to address current and 
     future threats.
       (c) Report.--Not later than February 28, 2021, the 
     Secretary of Defense shall submit to the congressional 
     defense committees a report on the alignment of the Missile 
     Defense Agency within the Department of Defense. The report 
     shall include--
       (1) a description of the risks and benefits of both--
       (A) continuing the alignment of the Agency under the 
     authority, direction, and control of the Under Secretary of 
     Defense for Research and Engineering pursuant to section 
     205(b) of title 10, United States Code; and
       (B) realigning the Agency to be under the authority, 
     direction, and control of the Under Secretary of Defense for 
     Acquisition and Sustainment; and
       (2) if the Agency were to be realigned, the actions that 
     would need to be taken to realign the Agency to be under the 
     authority, direction, and control of the Under Secretary of 
     Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment or another element of 
     the Department of Defense.

     SEC. 1658. OVERSIGHT OF NEXT GENERATION INTERCEPTOR PROGRAM.

       (a) Findings; Sense of Congress.--

[[Page H3216]]

       (1) Findings.--Congress finds that the Secretary of Defense 
     discovered major technical problems with the redesigned kill 
     vehicle program, which led to cancelling the program in 
     August 2019 and caused significant delays to the improved 
     defense of the United States against rogue nation ballistic 
     missile threats and wasted $1,200,000,000.
       (2) Sense of congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     the Secretary of Defense should ensure robust oversight and 
     accountability for the acquisition of the future next 
     generation interceptor program to avoid making the same 
     errors that were experienced in the redesigned kill vehicle 
     effort.
       (b) Independent Cost Assessment and Validation.--
       (1) Assessment.--The Director of Cost Assessment and 
     Program Evaluation shall conduct an independent cost 
     assessment of the next generation interceptor program.
       (2) Validation.--The Under Secretary of Defense for 
     Acquisition and Sustainment shall validate the preliminary 
     cost assessment conducted under paragraph (1) that will be 
     used to inform the award of the contract for the next 
     generation interceptor.
       (3) Submission.--Not later than the date on which the 
     Director of the Missile Defense Agency awards a contract for 
     the next generation interceptor, the Secretary of Defense 
     shall submit to the congressional defense committees a report 
     containing the preliminary independent cost assessment under 
     paragraph (1) and the validation under paragraph (2).
       (c) Flight Tests.--In addition to the requirements of 
     section 2399 of title 10, United States Code, the Director of 
     the Missile Defense Agency may not make any decision 
     regarding the initial production, or equivalent, of the next 
     generation interceptor unless the Director has--
       (1) certified to the congressional defense committees that 
     the Director has conducted not fewer than two successful 
     intercept flight tests of the next generation interceptor; 
     and
       (2) provided to such committees a briefing on the details 
     of such tests, including with respect to the operational 
     realism of such tests.

     SEC. 1659. MISSILE DEFENSE COOPERATION BETWEEN THE UNITED 
                   STATES AND ISRAEL.

     evaluation activities to establish directed energy 
     capabilities that address missile threats to the United 
     States, the deployed members of the Armed Forces of the 
     United States, or Israel. The Secretary shall ensure that any 
     such activities are conducted--
       (1) in accordance with Federal law and the Convention on 
     Prohibitions or Restrictions on the Use of Certain 
     Conventional Weapons which may be deemed to be Excessively 
     Injurious or to have Indiscriminate Effects, signed at Geneva 
     October 10, 1980; and
       (2) in a manner that appropriately protects sensitive 
     information and the national security interests of the United 
     States and the national security interests of Israel.

   Subtitle C--Space Technology Advancement Report (STAR) Act of 2020

     SEC. 1721. SHORT TITLE.

       This subtitle may be cited as the ``Space Technology 
     Advancement Report (STAR) Act of 2020''.

     SEC. 1722. FINDINGS.

       Congress finds the following:
       (1) As stated in the United States-China Economic and 
     Security Commission's 2019 Report to Congress, the United 
     States retains many advantages over the People's Republic of 
     China (PRC) in space, including--
       (A) the organization and technical expertise of its space 
     program;
       (B) the capabilities of the National Aeronautics and Space 
     Administration for human spaceflight and exploration;
       (C) its vibrant commercial space sector;
       (D) its long history of space leadership; and
       (E) many international partnerships.
       (2) The PRC seeks to establish a leading position in the 
     economic and military use of outer space and views space as 
     critical to its future security and economic interests.
       (3) The PRC's national-level commitment to establishing 
     itself as a global space leader harms United States interests 
     and threatens to undermine many of the advantages the United 
     States has worked so long to establish.
       (4) For over 60 years, the United States has led the world 
     in space exploration and human space flight through a robust 
     national program that ensures NASA develops and maintains 
     critical spaceflight systems to enable this leadership, 
     including the Apollo program's Saturn V rocket, the Space 
     Shuttle, the International Space Station and the Space Launch 
     System and Orion today.
       (5) The Defense Intelligence Agency noted in its 2019 
     ``Challenges to U.S. Security in Space'' report that the PRC 
     was developing a national super-heavy lift rocket comparable 
     to NASA's Space Launch System.
       (6) The United States space program and commercial space 
     sector risks being hollowed out by the PRC's plans to attain 
     leadership in key technologies.
       (7) It is in the economic and security interest of the 
     United States to remain the global leader in space power.
       (8) A recent report by the Air Force Research Laboratory 
     and the Defense Innovation Unit found that China's strategy 
     to bolster its domestic space industry includes a global 
     program of theft and other misappropriation of intellectual 
     property, direct integration of state-owned entities and 
     their technology with commercial start-ups, the use of front 
     companies to invest in United States space companies, 
     vertical control of supply chains, and predatory pricing.
       (9) The United States Congress passed the Wolf Amendment as 
     part of the Fiscal Year 2012 Consolidated and Further 
     Continuing Appropriations Act (Public Law 112-55) and every 
     year thereafter in response to the nefarious and offensive 
     nature of Chinese activities in the space industry.

     SEC. 1756. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON EXTENSION OF LIMITATIONS ON 
                   IMPORTATION OF URANIUM FROM RUSSIAN FEDERATION.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) a secure nuclear fuel supply chain is essential to the 
     economic and national security of the United States;
       (2) the Government of the Russian Federation uses its 
     control over energy resources, including in the civil nuclear 
     sector, to exert political influence and create economic 
     dependency in other countries;
       (3) the Agreement Suspending the Antidumping Investigation 
     on Uranium from the Russian Federation (commonly referred to 
     as the ``Russian Suspension Agreement''), which limits 
     imports of Russian uranium to 20 percent of the market share, 
     is vital to averting American dependence on Russian energy;
       (4) the United States should--
       (A) expeditiously complete negotiation of an extension of 
     the Russian Suspension Agreement to cap the market share for 
     Russian uranium at 20 percent or lower; or
       (B) if an agreement to extend the Russian Suspension 
     Agreement cannot be reached, complete the antidumping 
     investigation under title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 
     U.S.C. 1671 et seq.) with respect to imports of uranium from 
     the Russian Federation--
       (i) to avoid unfair trade in uranium and maintain a nuclear 
     fuel supply chain in the United States, consistent with the 
     national security and nonproliferation goals of the United 
     States; and
       (ii) to protect the United States nuclear fuel supply chain 
     from the continued manipulation of the global and United 
     States uranium markets by the Russian Federation and Russian-
     influenced competitors;
       (5) a renegotiated, long-term extension of the Russian 
     Suspension Agreement can prevent adversaries of the United 
     States from monopolizing the nuclear fuel supply chain;
       (6) as was done in 2008, upon completion of a new 
     negotiated long-term extension of the Russian Suspension 
     Agreement, Congress should enact legislation to codify the 
     terms of extension into law to ensure long-term stability for 
     the domestic nuclear fuel supply chain; and
       (7) if the negotiations to extend the Russian Suspension 
     Agreement prove unsuccessful, Congress should be prepared to 
     enact legislation to prevent the manipulation by the Russian 
     Federation of global uranium markets and potential domination 
     by the Russian Federation of the United States uranium 
     market.

     supply cable entry point of the covered defense structure, 
     with remote data storage and retrieval capability using 
     cellular communication, to provide historical energy usage 
     data on an hourly basis to accurately determine the optimum 
     cost effective energy efficiency and energy resilience 
     measures for the covered defense structure.
       (2) Use of an energy usage audit firm to individually meter 
     the covered defense structure using clamp-on meters and data 
     storage to provide year-long electric energy load profile 
     data, particularly in the case of a covered defense structure 
     located in climates with highly variable use based on weather 
     or temperature changes to accurately identify electric energy 
     usage demand for both peak and off peak periods for a covered 
     defense structure.
       (3) Manual collection and calculation of the connected load 
     via nameplate data survey of all the connected electrical 
     devices for the covered defense structure and comparing it to 
     the designed maximum rating of the incoming electric supply 
     to determine the maximum electrical load for the covered 
     defense structure.
       (c) Consideration of Partnerships.--The Secretary of 
     Defense and the Secretaries of the military departments shall 
     consider the use of arrangements (known as public-private

                   IN UNITED STATES INDO-PACIFIC COMMAND AREA OF 
                   RESPONSIBILITY.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The ordering and delivery of bulk fuels is 
     organizationally bifurcated to the detriment of the 
     Department of Defense.
       (2) Legacy bulk fuel management will not meet the 
     accelerated pace of operations required to support the 
     National Defense Strategy and the emphasis on disaggregated 
     operations.
       (3) The number of United States flagged tanking vessels 
     continues to decline, which has resulted in an excessive 
     reliance on foreign flagged tanking vessels to be available 
     to support the National Defense Strategy.
       (4) A foreign flagged tanking vessel support strategy 
     induces excessive risk to support United States disaggregated 
     operations in a highly contested environment.
       (5) The inadequacies of the legacy bulk fuel management 
     strategy is particularly acute in the United States Indo-
     Pacific Command Area of Responsibility.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that a 
     single organizational element should be responsible for the 
     bulk fuel management and delivery throughout the United 
     States Indo-Pacific Command Area of Responsibility.
       (c) Study and Strategy Required.--The Secretary of the Navy 
     shall--
       (1) conduct a study of current and projected bulk fuel 
     management strategies in the United States Indo-Pacific 
     Command Area of Responsibility; and
       (2) prepare a proposed bulk fuel management strategy that 
     optimally supports bulk fuel management in the United States 
     Indo-Pacific Command Area of Responsibility.
       (d) Elements of Study.--The study required by subsection 
     (c) shall include the following elements:
       (1) A description of current organizational responsibility 
     of bulk fuel management in the United States Indo-Pacific 
     Command Area of Responsibility from ordering, storage, 
     strategic transportation, and tactical transportation to the 
     last tactical mile.
       (2) A description of legacy bulk fuel management assets 
     that can be used to support the United States Indo-Pacific 
     Command.
       (3) Options for congressional consideration to better align 
     organizational responsibility through the entirety of the 
     bulk fuel management system in the United States Indo-Pacific 
     Command Area of Responsibility, as proposed in the bulk fuel 
     management strategy prepared pursuant to paragraph (2) of 
     such subsection.
       (e) Coordination.--The Secretary of the Navy shall conduct 
     the study and prepare the bulk fuel management strategy 
     required by subsection (c) in coordination with subject-
     matter experts of the United States Indo-Pacific Command, the 
     United States Transportation Command, and the Defense 
     Logistics Agency.
       (f) Report Required.--Not later than one year after the 
     date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of the Navy 
     shall submit to the congressional defense committees a report 
     containing the results of the study required by subsection 
     (c) and the bulk fuel management strategy required by such 
     subsection.
       (g) Prohibition on Certain Construction Pending Report.--
     None of the funds authorized to be appropriated by this Act 
     or otherwise made available for fiscal year 2021 for the Navy 
     for construction related to additional bulk fuel storage in 
     the United States Indo-Pacific Command Area of Responsibility 
     may be obligated or expended until the report required by 
     subsection (f) is submitted to the congressional defense 
     committees.

                   MARITIME INDUSTRY IN NATIONAL SECURITY.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The United States domestic maritime industry, with a 
     fleet of nearly 40,000 vessels, supports nearly 650,000 
     American jobs and provides more than $150,000,000 in annual 
     economic output.
       (2) The vessel innovations of the domestic trades that 
     transformed worldwide maritime commerce include the 
     development of container ships, self-unloading vessels, 
     articulated tug-barges, trailer barges, chemical parcel 
     tankers, railroad-on-barge carfloats, and river flotilla 
     towing systems.
       (3) The domestic fleet is essential to national security is 
     needed to crew United States Government-owned and other 
     sealift vessels to protect the Nation.
       (4) The Department of Defense and the entire national 
     security infrastructure of the United States benefits from a 
     robust commercial shipyard and ship repair industry, which 
     helps provide both economic and military sealift support.
       (5) The Department of Defense depends on the United States 
     domestic trades' fleet of container ships, roll-on/roll-off 
     ships, product tankers, and other vessels to assist with the 
     flow of military cargoes during both peace time and war time.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) United States coastwise trade laws promote a strong 
     domestic trade maritime industry, which supports the national 
     security and economic vitality of the United States and the 
     efficient operation of the United States transportation 
     system; and
       (2) a strong commercial maritime industry makes the United 
     States more secure.

  DIVISION E--NATIONAL ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE INITIATIVE ACT OF 2020

     SEC. 5001. SHORT TITLE.

       This division may be cited as the ``National Artificial 
     Intelligence Initiative Act of 2020''.

     SEC. 5002. FINDINGS.

       Congress finds the following:
       (1) Artificial intelligence is a tool that has the 
     potential to change and possibly transform every sector of 
     the United States economy and society.
       (2) The Federal Government should continue to play an 
     important role advancing research, development, standards, 
     and education activities in artificial intelligence through 
     coordination and collaboration between government, academia, 
     and the private sector to leverage the intellectual, 
     physical, and digital resources of each stakeholder.
       (3) The Federal Government lacks clear understanding of the 
     capabilities of artificial intelligence and its potential to 
     affect various social and economic sectors, including ethical 
     concerns, national security implications, and workforce 
     impacts.
       (4) Researchers from academia, Federal laboratories, and 
     much of the private sector have limited access to many high-
     quality datasets, computing resources, or real-world testing 
     environments to design and deploy safe and trustworthy 
     artificial intelligence systems.
       (5) There is a lack of standards and benchmarking for 
     artificial intelligence systems that academia and the public 
     and private sectors can use to evaluate the performance of 
     these systems before and after deployment.
       (6) Artificial intelligence is increasingly becoming a 
     highly interdisciplinary field with expertise required from a 
     diverse range of scientific and other scholarly disciplines 
     that traditionally work independently and continue to face 
     cultural and institutional barriers to large scale 
     collaboration.
       (7) Current Federal investments and funding mechanisms are 
     largely insufficient to incentivize and support the large-
     scale interdisciplinary and public-private collaborations 
     that will be required to advance trustworthy artificial 
     intelligence systems in the United States.
       (8) The United States education pipeline for artificial 
     intelligence fields faces significant challenges. Not only 
     does the artificial intelligence research field lack the 
     gender and racial diversity of the American population as a 
     whole, but it is failing to both retain researchers and 
     adequately support educators to meet the demands of the next 
     generation of students studying artificial intelligence.
       (9) In order to help drive forward advances in trustworthy 
     artificial intelligence across all sectors and to the benefit 
     of all Americans, the Federal Government must provide 
     sufficient resources and use its convening power to 
     facilitate the growth of artificial intelligence human 
     capital, research, and innovation capacity in academia and 
     other nonprofit research organizations, companies of all 
     sizes and across all sectors, and within the Federal 
     Government.

     SEC. 5003. DEFINITIONS.

       In this division:
       (1) Advisory committee.--The term ``Advisory Committee'' 
     means the National Artificial Intelligence Advisory Committee 
     established under section 5104(a).
       (2) Agency head.--The term ``agency head'' means the head 
     of any Executive agency (as defined in section 105 of title 
     5, United States Code).
       (3) Artificial intelligence.--The term ``artificial 
     intelligence'' means a machine-based system that can, for a 
     given set of human-defined objectives, make predictions, 
     recommendations or decisions influencing real or virtual 
     environments. Artificial intelligence systems use machine and 
     human-based inputs to--
       (A) perceive real and virtual environments;
       (B) abstract such perceptions into models through analysis 
     in an automated manner; and
       (C) use model inference to formulate options for 
     information or action.
       (4) Initiative.--The term ``Initiative'' means the National 
     Artificial Intelligence Initiative established under section

  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Washington.


                             General Leave

  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that 
all Members have 5 legislative days in which to revise and extend their 
remarks and to include extraneous material on H.R. 6395.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Washington?
  There was no objection.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I 
may consume.
  Mr. Speaker, we have before us today the National Defense 
Authorization

[[Page H3317]]

Act for Fiscal Year 2021. It is an important piece of legislation that 
we have done every year for 59 consecutive years. We are going for 60 
this year.
  It is incredibly important that the United States Congress, the House 
and the Senate, exercise our oversight over the Department of Defense 
and our national security budget and priorities, and this bill reflects 
that.
  I want to start by thanking a lot of people who have done an enormous 
amount of work to make this possible. We started in committee a couple 
of weeks ago. We had over 650 amendments submitted to the original mark 
of the chairman and the subcommittee marks. We processed those 
amendments and actually adopted 475 amendments in committee.
  I want to thank our staff more than I possibly can for the incredible 
amount of work that they did to go through all of those amendments, to 
work with Members, to work with various interested parties to get us to 
that product. I am very pleased that we were able to get that done, and 
we passed the bill out of the Armed Services Committee unanimously, 56-
0, with broad support.
  At this point, I want to thank the ranking member of the committee, 
Mr. Thornberry, for his incredible leadership during this process. He 
has been a terrific partner, both when he was chairman of the committee 
and now that he is the ranking member of the committee.
  As all of you know, this will be his last NDAA, as he is retiring 
from Congress. I want to once again thank him for his great work and 
his great leadership and really emphasize a point that I have made 
many, many times.
  The Armed Services Committee works in a bipartisan way and produces a 
legislative product in a manner that I think should be an example for 
all of Congress. That does not happen by accident. It happens because 
of leadership.
  When Mr. Thornberry became chairman of the committee and I was 
ranking member, Mac showed that leadership from the very start. He 
understood the priority of getting the bill done and of working in a 
bipartisan way to do that. Because of that leadership, that example has 
been set for the committee, and we have been able to continue to 
accomplish that.
  I also want to thank the Rules Committee. That is not an easy job in 
the best of times, and, as we all know, these are not the best of 
times. 752 amendments were submitted to be added to this bill this 
year. The Rules Committee had to sift through and process all of those 
amendments to produce before you the rule that we all just approved 
today.
  I thank their staff for doing that incredible work and do want to 
pause just one moment to thank the staff for the work they did in light 
of COVID-19. We all know that things cannot be run the way they 
normally are. We had to make adjustments. The staff in particular had 
to make those adjustments just getting our committee hearing room set 
up so that we could accommodate a social-distancing markup. It took an 
enormous amount of time and technological know-how. The staff did a 
fabulous job to get us to this point.
  I guess what I am saying is it is no accident that we are here. A lot 
of work went to get us to the point to have what I think is an 
excellent product.
  Again, we can't forget the central premise behind this product, and 
that is to support our national security policy and to make sure that 
the men and women who serve in our military, whom we assign with the 
task of implementing that policy, have the tools and training and 
equipment that they need to perform whatever tasks we ask them to do.
  We can and should have a robust debate about what those jobs should 
be, what our national security priorities are, what we should fund, 
what we should do. But something we should never disagree on is the 
idea that whatever that is that we decide, the troops, the men and 
women who are charged with implementing it, are well equipped, 
protected, and supported in carrying out that mission. And that is what 
we attempt to do.
  This year's bill had agreement from last year's budget agreement on 
our top-line budget of $741 billion. I think that was a good agreement 
that we reached on the defense and nondefense discretionary budget.
  And I will say, going forward, this is one of the greatest challenges 
that we are going to face. We had a difficult budget environment before 
COVID-19. It is even more difficult now. We are going to have to make 
some very difficult choices in the decade ahead about what to fund, not 
just to meet our national security priorities, but to meet all of our 
priorities within that budget context.
  I do want to thank the Secretary of Defense, Mark Esper, for his 
leadership in this regard. The Pentagon has gone to great lengths to do 
a bottom-up review, to really take a hard look at where they are 
spending money and to find savings, sometimes in the tens of billions 
of dollars. That type of effort is going to have to be ongoing, going 
forward, if we are going to be able to have a rational national 
security policy.
  I also want to commend a number of the Members in our committee who 
have worked to really focus on diversity in this year's bill. I 
believe, in addition to the COVID-19 challenge that we face, the 
reckoning that we have as a country for the historic racism, 
discrimination, and bigotry that we have wrestled with, it is 
enormously important that we address that. This is society-wide, but 
within the Department of Defense there are issues to work on there as 
well.

  We fund, to the tune of $17 million, aggressive efforts to increase 
the relationship between the Department of Defense and historically 
Black colleges and universities, to create and grow the pipeline of 
diversity into the Department of Defense, jobs both civilian and Active 
Duty.
  We also have now created a chair of diversity within DOD, whose job 
it is to look and make sure that we are, in fact, hiring and promoting 
people in a way that is equitable, and we have also set aside a special 
inspector general to examine that question.
  Also, thanks to the leadership of Congressman Anthony Brown and 
Congresswoman Jackie Speier, amongst others, we are looking at how the 
UCMJ is implemented. Is it being implemented in a way that is fair and 
unbiased.
  These are all efforts to create the diversity that we need within our 
Armed Forces and the diversity we need within our society.
  Overall, I am very, very pleased with this product. And more than 
anything, I am pleased with the people who worked together to put it 
together in a bipartisan way.
  There are a lot of diverse opinions, not just Republican and 
Democrat, but within each party. As Mr. Thornberry will attest, we are 
not all the same within our own parties. Even with that diversity, we 
were able to work together and produce what I think is an excellent 
product that we should all be proud to support.
  Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.

                                Committee on House Administration,


                                     House of Representatives,

       Dear Chairman Smith: I am writing to you concerning H.R. 
     6395, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
     2021. There are certain provisions in the legislation that 
     fall within the Rule X jurisdiction of the Committee on 
     Agriculture.
       In the interest of permitting your committee to proceed 
     expeditiously to floor consideration of this important bill, 
     I am willing to waive this committee's right to sequential 
     referral. I do so with the understanding that by waiving 
     consideration of the bill, the Committee on Agriculture does 
     not waive any future jurisdictional claim over the subject 
     matters contained in the bill which fall within its Rule X 
     jurisdiction. I request that you urge the Speaker to name 
     members of the Committee on Agriculture to any conference 
     committee which is named to consider such provisions.
       Please place this letter into the committee report on H.R. 
     6395 and into the Congressional Record during consideration 
     of the measure on the House floor. Thank you for the 
     cooperative spirit in which you have worked regarding this 
     matter and others between our respective committees.

     Hon. Adam Smith,

       Dear Chairman Smith: I am writing to you concerning H.R. 
     6395, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
     2021. There are certain provisions in the legislation that 
     fall within the Rule X jurisdiction of the Committee on 
     Homeland Security.
       In the interest of permitting your committee to proceed 
     expeditiously to floor consideration of this important bill, 
     I am willing to waive this committee's right to sequential 
     referral. I do so with the understanding that by waiving 
     consideration of the bill, the Committee on Homeland Security 
     does not waive any future jurisdictional claim over the 
     subject matters contained in the bill which fall within its 
     Rule X jurisdiction. I request that you urge the Speaker to 
     name members of this committee to any conference committee 
     which is named to consider such provisions.
       Please place this letter into the committee report on H.R. 
     6395 and into the Congressional Record during consideration 
     of the measure on the House floor. Thank you for the 
     cooperative spirit in which you have worked regarding this 
     matter and others between our respective committees.
           Sincerely,

     Security is not waiving its jurisdiction. Further, this

     this Committee's right to a sequential referral. I do so with 
     the mutual understanding that by waiving consideration of the 
     bill, the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure does 
     not waive any future jurisdictional claim over the subject 
     matters contained in the bill which fall within its Rule X 
     jurisdiction. I also request that you urge the Speaker to 
     name members of this Committee to any conference committee 
     which is named to consider such provisions.
       Please place a copy of this letter and your response 
     acknowledging our jurisdictional interest into the committee 
     report on H.R. 6395 and into the Congressional Record during 
     consideration of the measure on the House floor. Thank you 
     for the cooperative spirit in which you have worked regarding 
     this matter between our respective committees.

                              {time}  1345

  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself 3 minutes.
  Mr. Speaker, first, I want to say, like all my colleagues, I mourn 
the passing of   John Lewis. As someone said this weekend, he lived a 
consequential life and, I would add, one that we all admire.
  Mr. Speaker, on the bill before us, I am very grateful for the kind 
words of Chairman Smith, as well as for the generous amendment he 
offered in committee related to the name of this bill and also the very 
generous response of all Members on both sides of the aisle.
  I will confess, Mr. Speaker, that all of this naming business makes 
me a

[[Page H3322]]

little uncomfortable because this bill is not about any of us. It is 
about the men and women who serve our Nation, their families, and 
American national security. As the chairman points out, that was the 
focus of this bill for 59 straight years. With his leadership and the 
leadership of Senator Reed and Senator Inhofe, I am sure that it will 
be number 60.
  Obviously, I do not agree with everything that is in the bill, but on 
balance, it is a good bill. In some particular areas, it is a very good 
bill. I want to highlight, for example, the family resiliency and 
readiness provisions, thanks to good work from Mr. Kelly and Ms. 
Speier.
  I want to highlight a number of cyber and artificial intelligence 
provisions, thanks to the good work of Mr. Langevin, Ms. Stefanik, Mr. 
Gallagher, who chaired one of the committees we set up.
  A number of provisions in this bill strengthen relationships with 
partners and allies, and among others who have worked on this are Mr. 
Gallego, Mr. Crow, Ms. Cheney, and Mr. Turner. There is a lot of very 
good substance in this bill.
  Bringing it all together, I want to credit the leadership of the 
chairman, not only for assembling a bill of good substance, but for 
passing it by a vote of 56-0 and doing so in a very, very challenging 
time.
  I join him in applauding the staff for not just the substance but the 
logistics, all that is required to bring this bill to us.
  Finally, Mr. Speaker, I can't help but note that whenever there is a 
crisis in this country, we turn to the military, and we have seen that 
several times just within the past few months. So the thrust of this 
bill is to say, okay, if we are going to turn to the military in times 
of crisis, then we need to support them with the best training, the 
best equipment, the best support of all kinds that we can provide. 
Because they are there for us, we need to be there for them.
  That is the thrust of this bill this year, as it has been in the 
past, and I believe it certainly deserves Members' support as we move 
forward.
  Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3\1/2\ minutes to the 
gentleman from Rhode Island (Mr. Langevin), the chairman of the 
Intelligence and Emerging Threats and Capabilities Subcommittee.
  Mr. LANGEVIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of H.R. 
6395, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021.
  I want to begin by congratulating Chairman Smith and Ranking Member 
Thornberry for the strong bipartisan bill, which was unanimously passed 
by the committee 56-0. I am particularly pleased with the provisions in 
our Intelligence and Emerging Threats and Capabilities portion of the 
bill.
  My subcommittee's provisions reflect key national security interests 
and critical defense oversight areas, including intelligence, cyber, 
science and technology, and Special Operations Forces.
  Mr. Speaker, I want to thank Ranking Member Stefanik for her 
bipartisan cooperation, and I want to thank the other members of the 
subcommittee for their extraordinary input that make this mark so 
strong. Sound collaboration is what sets this committee apart as we 
maintain the now 60-year tradition of passing an annual defense 
authorization bill to support members of the military and provide for 
our national security. The ranking member, the vice chair, Mr. Crow, 
and my IETC colleagues exemplify this spirit.
  I would also like to thank, of course, the staff, who without their 
input and work, this would not be possible. Committee staff Shannon, 
Josh, Jessica, Bess, Eric, Jason, and Caroline; my military legislative 
assistant, Caroline; and fellows Matt and Allison were instrumental in 
its development, and my legislative director, Nick.
  Mr. Speaker, our subcommittee mark aligns intelligence and security 
capabilities to the National Defense Strategy, and I am particularly 
proud that it incorporates recommendations from two commissions 
comprising some of our Nation's most forward-thinking defense experts.
  The National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence's work 
will lay the foundation for the country's workforce, ethics, and 
security requirements as machine learning and artificial intelligence 
tools become more prevalent.
  The Cyberspace Solarium Commission, which I had the pleasure to serve 
on with my colleague, Congressman Gallagher, who co-chaired the 
commission, has provided a strategic vision of layered cyber 
deterrence, and this bill includes nearly 20 recommendations to 
implement it.
  This bill enriches the Department of Defense science and technology 
ecosystem. We add over $600 million in science and technology funding 
to confront rising science powers.
  We restore $135 million to the cooperative threat reduction account, 
fixing a devastating cut in the President's budget.
  We add over $1 billion in a pandemic preparedness and resilience 
national security fund.
  Mr. Speaker, great power competition also is a race for talent. This 
bill diversifies the Department's workforce and emphasizes 
collaboration with historically Black colleges and universities and 
minority institutions. It will also protect foreign students at our 
great universities from being deported. It also ensures that Special 
Operations Forces remain the most talented, professional, agile, and 
ready force postured for high-end missions.

  Finally, our bill funds the Navy's number one procurement priority, 
the Columbia-class submarine, and it restores funding for two Virginia-
class boats, one of which had been cut by the President. I know what 
amazing capabilities these submarines provide because they are built in 
my district in Rhode Island by the hardworking men and women of 
Electric Boat, and I was proud to work with Chairman Courtney on these 
provisions.
  Mr. Speaker, this bill demonstrates our commitment to national 
security while increasing oversight and reducing redundancy to ensure 
our taxpayer dollars are spent efficiently and effectively, and I urge 
my colleagues to support it.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from 
Ohio (Mr. Turner), the ranking member of the Subcommittee on Strategic 
Forces.
  Mr. TURNER. Mr. Speaker, I want to join Ranking Member Thornberry in 
noting the passing of John Lewis. His heroism and his eloquence 
challenged us all, and he will be sorely missed.
  Mr. Speaker, I also want to begin by thanking Chairman Adam Smith. 
Our chairman reached out to the other side and said that he wanted to 
do a bipartisan bill. That sounds easy, but in this environment, it is 
not. It is highly substantive. It takes negotiation. It takes a lot 
more work than a partisan bill does. And he achieved that with a 
unanimous vote coming out of committee. That takes compromise, but this 
bill does not compromise at all for national security.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize our ranking member, who will 
be retiring. I have served with him for 18 years. I have appreciated 
his mentorship, and I am very glad that this bill bears his name, in 
honor of his time here.
  This bill also authorizes the administration's full request for the 
National Nuclear Security Administration. These funds are critical to 
ensuring our nuclear weapons enterprise remains safe, secure, and 
effective. We have put off this investment too long; we do not have any 
additional time.
  Our nuclear forces are at work every day. They stand as a silent 
testament to deter our adversaries and to support our allies. Without 
our nuclear forces as a credible and silent deterrent, the world would 
be less safe.
  This bill fully funds the ground-based strategic deterrent, the 
replacement for the Minuteman III. It is critical that Congress support 
this effort with this funding.
  The bill also provides progress for Space Force, provides stability 
for the National Security Space Launch program, and makes investments 
in missile defense by funding two of the Missile Defense Agency's 
highest priorities, including the 10 SM-3 Block IIA and the eighth 
THAAD battery.
  The NDAA will provide support to the people who defend our country. 
Our troops are receiving a 3 percent pay raise for the second year in a 
row. This

[[Page H3323]]

bill expands the rights of men and women in uniform and their families 
residing in military housing and provides more oversight over the 
private companies responsible for maintaining the health and safety of 
these homes.
  This bill also provides remarkable strides in military justice. Over 
the last decade, we made great strides in military justice.
  This bill also provides protection for sexual assault victims. They 
are gaining more rights on appeal, greater access to court records, and 
additional protection from retaliatory punishment.
  I also want to thank Congressman Anthony Brown for his work on 
advancing diversity and equality in our servicemember ranks. I was very 
proud to work with Congressman Brown to advance concrete steps to 
promote diversity. This year's NDAA creates the position of chief 
diversity officer for DOD and establishes a diversity and inclusion 
advisory council. It creates more scholarship opportunities in 
historically Black colleges.
  The NDAA enhances our national security and improves the lives of our 
servicemembers. I urge all of my colleagues to support it. Any cuts in 
funding to this bill would severely weaken our Nation at a time when we 
are facing some of our clearest threats.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the 
gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. Cooper), the chairman of the Strategic 
Forces Subcommittee.
  Mr. COOPER. Mr. Speaker, I am proud today to speak on behalf of the 
Strategic Forces portion of the Mac Thornberry National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank Ranking Member Thornberry for his 
outstanding 25 years of service in this Congress.
  Mr. Speaker, I would also like to extend my thanks to Ranking Member 
Turner and all of our subcommittee members for their contributions to 
the bill. Our subcommittee has particularly heavy, often technical 
responsibilities.
  This bill does make America stronger and safer by improving the odds 
for peace and stability with regard to our nuclear forces, hypersonic 
weapons, and space and missile defense.
  Preventing a nuclear attack is the first responsibility of the U.S. 
Government. It is absolutely imperative to ensure our nuclear forces 
are safe, secure, and reliable and that we strengthen our 
nonproliferation efforts. This mark ensures that the Departments of 
Defense and Energy are wisely spending their budgets in a responsible 
and efficient manner.
  Regarding space, we continue our focus on protecting our space 
assets. The bill also focuses on near-term priorities for hypersonic 
weapons in a way that avoids increasing the risks of ambiguity and 
miscalculation.
  We continue oversight in missile defense, including supporting U.S.-
Israeli cooperation. In addition, after the failure of the redesigned 
kill vehicle program, the bill strengthens oversight of the next-
generation interceptor program.

  Mr. Speaker, before I close, I would like to thank our outstanding 
staff: Leonor Tomero, Jason Schmid, Maria Vastola, Grant Schneider, and 
Zach Taylor.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from 
Colorado (Mr. Lamborn), the distinguished ranking member of the 
Subcommittee on Readiness.
  Mr. LAMBORN. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise in strong support of H.R. 
6395, the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2021.
  Sun Tzu said that ``the art of war teaches us to rely not on the 
likelihood of the enemy's not coming, but on our own readiness to 
receive him; not on the chance of his not attacking, but rather on the 
fact that we have made our position unassailable.''
  As reported out of committee, this NDAA funds essential military 
readiness to support the National Defense Strategy.
  The legislation does a number of things. It makes significant 
investments in operations and maintenance and military construction; 
invests in essential capabilities to retain military overmatch, 
including cyber, space, hypersonics, ground-based strategic deterrent, 
and artificial intelligence; begins recapitalizing our surge sealift 
fleet; addresses shortfalls in refueling capacity; requires that DOD 
develop a long-term sustainment strategy; codifies the DOD Office of 
Economic Adjustment; improves energy and critical infrastructure 
resilience; requires responsible water use by installations; improves 
transparency regarding PFAS releases; authorizes National Guard access 
to DOD funds for PFAS remediation; and continues military housing so as 
to protect the families.
  Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my friend and colleague,   John 
Garamendi, for his leadership on the Readiness Subcommittee, and 
Chairman Smith and Ranking Member Thornberry for their leadership to 
get this to the floor. Representative Thornberry has left a strong mark 
on this Nation's national defense, and we appreciate his dedication. 
This legislation reflects the hard work of Members on both sides as 
well as the bipartisan staff.
  Mr. Speaker, this morning, I voted against the rule. I did so because 
the Democratic leadership appears to be playing political games that 
could undermine all of this good work. One amendment would reduce the 
defense top line, if accepted, by 10 percent. By requiring the 
Department to fully fund all the personnel and medical accounts, all 
other accounts would have to decrease by 16 percent, more than twice 
the cuts imposed under sequestration. That would devastate readiness.
  Rules also made in order include two massive land amendments 
affecting Colorado and Arizona and other States. These have nothing to 
do with national defense, and they are opposed by many citizens of 
those States.

                              {time}  1400

  Using servicemembers and their families as pawns to support a 
partisan agenda is just wrong, so I truly hope this remains a bill that 
I can vote for after this debate.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the 
gentleman from Connecticut (Mr. Courtney), the chairman of the Seapower 
and Projection Forces Subcommittee.
  Mr. COURTNEY. Mr. Speaker, Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution 
states: ``Congress shall have the power . . . to provide and maintain a 
Navy.'' The Seapower and Projection Force's Subcommittee mark in this 
year's 2021 NDAA rises to that constitutional duty with a coherent, 
workable shipbuilding plan and a Projection Force mark that ensures air 
and sealift forces are capable of fulfilling their mission.
  It became abundantly clear when the administration sent over its 2021 
budget that we were facing daunting challenges in our subcommittee's 
jurisdiction. Airlift and sealift were underresourced; the Navy 
shipbuilding budget was cut by 17 percent from last year; the request 
for new ships as verified by the Congressional Research Service was 
seven, the lowest since 2009; and the statutory requirement for the 
Department of Defense to submit a 30-year shipbuilding plan was, and 
continues to be, brazenly ignored.
  Our mark corrects these hits to our shipbuilding industrial base and 
is aligned to the Navy's actual requested priorities that were not 
included in February's budget. This includes nine ships, including the 
first Columbia-class ballistic submarine, two Arleigh Burke destroyers, 
and two Virginia-class submarines, to name a few.
  I want to foot-stomp that the mark reverses one of the most 
compounding elements of the administration's budget: the elimination of 
a Virginia-class submarine, which would disrupt the two-a-year build 
rate for the first time in a decade that Congress has diligently 
sustained.
  We have heard Navy officials confirm that there is industrial base 
capacity to support a second sub in 2021, and that platform is their 
number one unfunded priority. Its production represents the most cost-
effective way to mitigate our declining submarine fleet.
  Even more importantly, we heard from combatant commands in the 
Pacific and Atlantic about the need to stop that decline and retain our 
undersea superiority as the most effective deterrent to keep the peace. 
We fixed that flaw in our work, and we did it underneath the bipartisan 
budget caps.
  Mr. Speaker, all of this was accomplished with teamwork, and I want 
to thank my friend and colleague, Ranking Member  Rob Wittman, all of 
the subcommittee members, and our amazing staff: Phil MacNaughton, Dave

[[Page H3324]]

Sienicki, Kelly Goggin, and Sean Falvey. And I also want to thank 
Lieutenant Commander Cam Massey, our Navy fellow in our office, who was 
instrumental in getting this fine product.
  I urge passage of the Thornberry NDAA.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from 
Virginia (Mr. Wittman), the distinguished ranking member of the 
Subcommittee on Seapower and Projection Forces.
  Mr. WITTMAN. Mr. Speaker, I thank the ranking member for yielding.
  In committee, we went through over 600 amendments and 12 hours of 
debate to arrive at this point, and we definitely had our share of 
differences along the way; but, in the end, we were able to come 
together to arrive at a very good bipartisan bill.
  But this floor debate is quite different. The majority has elected to 
add several nongermane bills to the NDAA at Rules that have nothing to 
do with defense. And perhaps even more problematic, these bills are 
partisan and have been recommended that they be vetoed by the President 
if they were to pass alone. So the majority has decided to tack it on 
to a must-pass piece of legislation.
  We should not use our servicemembers as a tool to achieve a partisan 
agenda. I voted in opposition to the rule, and I hope that I can vote 
for final passage of the Mac Thornberry National Defense Authorization 
Act.
  I do, though, want to highlight three areas of note that accelerate 
our national security in the Seapower and Projection Forces 
Subcommittee. In the undersea warfare, we made the biggest move in the 
bill by authorizing a second Virginia-class submarine.
  It is imperative that we move to accelerate the entirety of the 
undersea capabilities and say to potential aggressors: Today is not 
your day. Dissuading aggressor nations is the cornerstone of peace upon 
which our national security and our collective economy rest.
  Another area that I take great pride in supporting is the continued 
investment in our surge sealift. The authorization of four additional 
sealift vessels and a new tanker security program are essential 
elements to getting the Army and Marine Corps to distant shores.
  Finally, we continue strong oversight of our existing resources in 
limiting funds for a deficient KC-46A tanker and a promising but 
unproven unmanned surface vessel fleet.
  Before I conclude, I want to specifically thank Chairman Courtney and 
his team, who led a strong bipartisan mark. Chairman Courtney has been 
tremendous and is a fantastic Seapower Projection Forces chairman, and 
I look forward to continuing to work with him to deliver the Seapower 
Projection Forces our Nation needs. He is, indeed, the example of a 
servant leader and one that works in a bipartisan manner.
  My friends, this is a good bill that, in its current form, is worthy 
of support. I look forward to saying that I was part of passing the 
William M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2021.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the 
gentlewoman from California (Ms. Speier), the chair of the Subcommittee 
on Military Personnel.
  Ms. SPEIER. Mr. Speaker, I thank the chair for yielding and for his 
outstanding leadership and to Ranking Member Thornberry for an 
outstanding job over his 25 years.

  I am proud to speak in support of this bipartisan bill that was 
passed unanimously out of committee. The subcommittee accepted 111 
total amendments: 37 from the Republicans and 74 from the Democrats.
  I would like to thank Ranking Member Kelly, whom I enjoyed working 
with, and the other members of the committee and the herculean work 
from our staff: Craig, Dave, Hannah, Glenn, Danielle, and from my 
personal staff, Josh, Yanna, Brian, and Luke.
  This bill continues the committee's tradition of improving the lives 
of servicemembers and their families by authorizing a 3 percent pay 
raise, requiring standardization and significant improvements to the 
Exceptional Family Member Program, expanding 24-hour childcare 
availability and addressing provider shortages, improving sexual 
assault and intimate-partner violence prevention and response, and 
delaying the Department's plan to cut the military health system to 
ensure they are able to respond to future pandemics.
  Americans are finally confronting the injustice of systemic racism, 
and this bill initiates monumental changes in the military by creating 
a DOD chief diversity officer; establishing a diversity and inclusion 
council; and requiring the services to establish goals for increasing 
representation of servicemembers who are women and persons of color up 
the ranks, stripping personally identifiable information at promotion 
boards to improve fairness, creating a special inspector general for 
racial and ethnic disparities to review discrepancies in the military 
justice and personnel systems, and to investigate white supremacist 
activities and adding a violent extremism article to the Uniform Code 
of Military Justice.
  It also better protects our servicemembers from sexual and domestic 
violence by creating a sexual assault prosecution pilot program at the 
service academies, a system of military court protective orders, and a 
military-civilian task force on domestic violence.
  Mr. Speaker, as I have visited bases throughout the country, I have 
told our servicemembers and their families what our credo is on the 
committee: When the servicemember serves, so does his or her family. We 
have made good on that promise in this bill. We owe it to our brave 
servicemembers.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentlewoman 
from Missouri (Mrs. Hartzler), the distinguished ranking member of the 
Subcommittee on Tactical Air and Land Forces.
  Mrs. HARTZLER. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 6395, the 
William M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2021. I am proud it passed unanimously out of committee, 
and I am grateful it bears the name of a public servant who has fought 
tirelessly for our men and women in uniform and whose steady, wise 
leadership has made such a difference. This legislation is a fitting 
tribute to his enduring legacy.
  As the ranking member of the Tactical Air and Land Forces 
Subcommittee, I thank our subcommittee chairman,   Donald Norcross, for 
his strong spirit of bipartisanship. I would also like to thank the 
subcommittee staff--Jesse Tolleson; Bill Sutey; Heath Bope; Carla 
Zeppieri; Liz Griffin; and Caroline Kehrli; my personal military 
legislative director, Chrissi Lee; and Tom Spellman, my military 
fellow--for their hard work on this legislation.
  Within the subcommittee's jurisdiction, this bill recommends 
authorization of over $118 billion in needed modernization funding 
required for our competitive advantage against strategic peer 
competitors such as Russia and China.
  For example, the bill rightfully supports the appropriate mix of 
fourth- and fifth-generation strike fighters by authorizing funding for 
79 F-35 Joint Strike Fighters, 12 F-15EX aircraft, and 24 F/A-18 Super 
Hornets, including additional funding for advanced procurement to help 
mitigate current Navy strike shortfalls.
  The bill authorizes the necessary funding to support the Army's big 
six modernization priorities to include long-range precision fires and 
future vertical lift, all of which are critical in support of the 
national defense strategy and for credible deterrence.
  I am pleased the bill also requires more detailed certifications and 
justification for decisions relating to retiring critical airborne ISR 
platforms without a suitable replacement to better manage operational 
risk to the warfighter.
  Outside the subcommittee's jurisdiction, I am pleased this bill 
includes language directing the Department to develop a strategy for 
the use of chaplains and nonprofit post-traumatic growth organizations 
as a behavioral healthcare option for our servicemembers and also 
report analyzing the risk to U.S. servicemembers due to the dependence 
on China for our troops' pharmaceutical needs.
  The NDAA has always been and should continue to be a product of 
bipartisan consensus. Putting our troops first and providing them with 
the resources, equipment, training, and support they need should always 
be our top priority as Members of Congress.

This is why I have concerns and would oppose any amendment that would 
effectively cut the defense budget by 10 percent. A cut this size 
equates to approximately $73 billion, almost twice that of the fiscal 
year 2013 sequester.
  We have worked hard over the past several years to repair the damage 
from sequestration. Now is not the time to go backwards.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge support of this bill.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the 
gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Norcross), the chair of the Tactical Air 
and Land Forces Subcommittee.
  Mr. NORCROSS. Mr. Speaker, I thank the chairman for yielding and 
certainly for his leadership in bringing this bill to the floor and to 
the ranking member, Mac Thornberry, for his years of service to this 
country. We certainly appreciate it.

  This bill continues the Tactical Air and Land Forces Subcommittee's 
long tradition of bipartisan work to make America's land and air forces 
the best in the world.
  Despite challenges imposed upon us during this COVID crisis, this 
bill is the result of the hard work under very unusual and demanding 
circumstances. I thank the members of our committee, certainly our 
staffs and all of them for their hard work in these challenging times.
  I also thank the ranking member, Mrs. Hartzler, for her leadership 
and her contributions and certainly working as a bipartisan committee. 
Our cooperation kept us focused on what truly is important. We have 
delivered a defense bill that meets the modernization readiness needs 
of our Nation.
  This bill carefully manages our military resources while increasing 
needed oversight of DOD programs. The bill specifically includes 
aggressive oversight of the strike fighter aircraft programs, including 
the F-35, the most expensive program ever attempted by the Department; 
the Department's development, sustainment, management of manned and 
unmanned intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft; and 
continued oversight of the Army's new modernization strategy with 
respect to Army aviation, including the Chinook helicopter, combat and 
tactical vehicles, air and missile defense, the network and soldier 
lethality.
  This defense bill also includes what I believe is one of the more 
important issues: Buy American provisions, which show we are truly 
serious about building things here in the U.S. and supporting American 
workers. I also worked to ensure that the executive branch cannot strip 
the collective bargaining rights of our vital citizen defense 
workforce.
  I am proud of the hard work this committee has done to serve 
America's national security interests in this great bill. It deserves 
our support, and I urge all my colleagues to vote ``yes.''
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentlewoman 
from New York (Ms. Stefanik), the distinguished ranking member of the 
Subcommittee on Intelligence and Emerging Threats and Capabilities.
  Ms. STEFANIK. Mr. Speaker, I thank Ranking Member Thornberry for 
yielding.
  I want to start by thanking my subcommittee chair, Mr. Langevin, who 
is a wonderful colleague to work with. I also thank both of our staffs 
for the hard work.
  As the ranking member on the Subcommittee on Intelligence and 
Emerging Threats and Capabilities, I would like to highlight the key 
themes that will ensure the U.S. retains our competitive edge in the 
future.
  First, this bill places special emphasis on basic research and the 
important contributions that our science and technology ecosystem, 
including our universities, the DOD labs, and DARPA, provide to our 
collective national defense, including our pandemic preparedness and 
response.
  This bill also restores a critical social science research program 
that has provided foundational insights into violent extremism, great 
power competition, and foreign information operations campaigns.
  In sum, this bill provides an additional $600 million for science and 
technology investments in critical emerging fields, including AI, 
autonomous systems, and biotechnology.

                              {time}  1415

  Two years ago, I introduced legislation in the NDAA that created the 
National Security Commission on AI, with the purpose of accelerating 
and advancing the development of AI across the Federal Government.
  Mr. Speaker, I applaud the Commission for their work on this 
important issue, and I am honored that this bill included 18 of those 
recommendations. The adoption of these recommendations demonstrates how 
important AI is and how urgently it must be integrated into not only 
our weapons systems, but our healthcare, our predictive maintenance 
efforts, our humanitarian assistance missions, and our cybersecurity.
  Our ability to apply AI and other emerging technologies faster than 
our adversaries will allow us to maintain our competitive edge over 
Russia and China and prepare our citizens for an AI-enabled future.
  Secondly, this bill extends and expands the opportunities for our 
Special Operations Forces to partner with foreign forces, build 
critical relationships, and more effectively counter the malign 
influences of Russia and China.
  Furthermore, this bill also increases our investment in the programs 
that provide care and support for the families of our special operators 
that have been so critical to our counterterrorism operations over the 
last 19 years.
  Most importantly, as a proud representative of the soldiers and 
families of Fort Drum and 10th Mountain Division, this bill will invest 
in the technology and training necessary to ensure the safety and 
security of the men and women sent into harm's way.
  This bill supports our force protection and military intelligence 
capabilities to ensure our servicemembers have the tools they need to 
mitigate hostile actions while they continue their important missions 
abroad.
  As a representative of the most deployed division in the United 
States Army, currently serving in Afghanistan, my number one priority 
is force protection and the safety of the brave men and women called 
into action to protect our national interests.
  That said, I am very concerned with any amendments that would slash 
the defense budget, impact our force protection, or degrade our 
investment in new technologies. A $73 billion cut to the defense budget 
would cause irreparable harm to our military and our readiness and 
would decimate the very programs that keep our servicemembers safe.
  Mr. Speaker, I want to close by thanking Ranking Member Thornberry 
for his leadership and guidance not only this year, but his many years 
of truly exemplary leadership.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the 
gentleman from Maine (Mr. Golden), a member of the committee.
  Mr. GOLDEN. Mr. Speaker, I thank Chairman Smith for yielding.
  I want to take a moment to talk about an amendment coming forward 
today having to do with the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act. I think it 
is particularly important.
  Having deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq, I want to paint a picture 
for you.
  Imagine running a nighttime patrol in the mountains of Afghanistan or 
on the streets of an Iraqi town. I am sure you can appreciate the 
intense pressure, the stress, the focus required to do the job right 
and avoid any mistake that could get you or your buddies killed.
  Now imagine the patrol is finished. You have got 3 hours to sleep 
before you need to get up and stand guard for an hour, and after that, 
you will go on a convoy back to headquarters to get supplies to bring 
back to the company FOB.
  But instead of getting rest, you hop on a satellite phone to make a 
business call to the United States, where it is 4 p.m., to explain to a 
company why they can't repossess the family car or foreclose on your 
house, because even though Congress has passed protections for 
servicemembers, the company insists you signed a waiver of your SCRA 
protections.
  Congress shouldn't allow this to happen, Mr. Speaker. This amendment 
would end the use of arbitration clauses that trick servicemembers into 
signing away their rights under SCRA.
  How ridiculous that this amendment is even necessary, but, sadly, it 
is. I

[[Page H3326]]

have seen it myself on deployments. It does happen. It has happened to 
the men and women I served with.
  Congress should do something about this. These people are being put 
into stressful financial situations, and their families are, too, while 
they are serving our country and fighting for us.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support the amendment and to 
fight for it in conference with the Senate.
  Mr. Speaker, in closing, I want to congratulate the ranking member on 
his many years of service to our servicemembers on the committee. I 
thank both the chair and ranking member for their leadership of the 
committee these past two NDAAs.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from 
Mississippi (Mr. Kelly), the distinguished ranking member of the 
Subcommittee on Military Personnel.
  Mr. KELLY of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, I first want to thank 
Chairwoman Speier for the hard work that we did together on the 
Military Personnel Subcommittee, Ranking Member Thornberry, who has 
provided leadership my entire time, and Chairman Smith for the great 
job that they have done in passing a bipartisan bill out of committee.
  I stand before you today in proud support of the bipartisan defense 
bill that we unanimously voted out of committee during the 
extraordinary circumstances of COVID-19. This bill does more for 
families and servicemembers than any that come to my mind. It is a huge 
step forward, but there is still work to do.
  However, I am concerned with the many amendments that would impose 
across-the-board budget cuts that may affect programs that support our 
military families. I am also concerned with the potential size of this 
cut, which, by my understanding, would be about $73 billion, more than 
twice the impact of the fiscal year 2013 sequester.

  The bill that was voted out of committee continues to support and 
improve the lives of those who sacrifice for our country on a daily 
basis by authorizing a military basic pay raise of 3 percent.
  This bill reinforces the committee's longstanding commitment to the 
military family by requiring the Department of Defense to redefine 
military family readiness and military family resiliency, and it 
provides for significant reforms to the Exceptional Family Member 
Program.
  This bill addresses the COVID-19 pandemic by requiring the military 
to assess the diagnostic equipment, testing capabilities, personal 
protective equipment, and treatment capabilities of the Armed Forces. 
It also requires the National Security Strategy to include the drugs, 
vaccines, and other critical medical equipment that will ensure combat 
readiness and lethality by safeguarding the health of our Armed Forces.
  Mr. Speaker, I want to again thank Chairwoman Speier, because this 
bill will continue to support our servicemembers and retain their 
families.
  Mr. Speaker, this is an outstanding bipartisan bill dedicated to our 
servicemembers, military families, and retirees, and it gives them the 
care and support they need, deserve, and have earned.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my 
time.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Alabama (Mr. Rogers), the distinguished ranking member of the Committee 
on Homeland Security.
  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I thank Ranking Member Thornberry 
and Chairman Smith for their leadership in bringing this bill to the 
floor in such a bipartisan manner.
  I am pleased the bill includes several provisions to support the 
Space Force and prioritizes the hypersonic and ballistic missile 
tracking space sensor.
  While there is still much work to do, this bill takes important steps 
forward to confront China with the Indo-Pacific Deterrence Initiative.
  It also includes almost $600 million above the President's budget for 
science and technology and investments in critical emerging technology 
areas.
  These critical investments are what will enable us to confront 
sophisticated threats that we face from China and Russia.
  Importantly, this bill adheres to the budget agreement and fully 
funds the President's budget request.
  Now, more than ever, we must reject calls for blunt defense cuts from 
partisans who are using the current crisis as an opportunity to push 
their agenda.
  Finally, Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my friend and colleague, Mac 
Thornberry, for his years of service to the Armed Services Committee. 
No one cares more about our men and women in uniform and has dedicated 
more time and effort to making sure they have what they need.
  Our committee was lucky to have him as chairman for 4 years and 
ranking member for 2 years, and we wish him and his wife, Sally, 
nothing but the best in the future.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my 
time.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from 
Wisconsin (Mr. Gallagher), a distinguished member of our committee.
  Mr. GALLAGHER. Mr. Speaker, I thank the ranking member not only for 
yielding, but for his leadership and setting an example of just being 
one of the most thoughtful legislators that I have ever witnessed, and 
so I thank him for his mentorship and his leadership.
  I am very proud to support this bill, which includes many of the 
critical recommendations of the Cyberspace Solarium Commission, which I 
have had the privilege of co-chairing over the past year with my good 
friend Senator Angus King, and serving alongside my distinguished 
colleague and IETC Subcommittee Chairman  Jim Langevin, who has 
forgotten more about cybersecurity than most of us, certainly myself, 
will ever know in our lifetime, and so his leadership has been 
incredible.
  Early on in the Commission's work, we recognized that one of our 
greatest challenges would be navigating through the many committees of 
jurisdiction, and it is precisely because of that challenge that I am 
especially proud that we were able to work across party and 
jurisdictional lines to get many of our key recommendations either in 
the underlying text or in a bipartisan amendment.
  I know over the course of the day, Congress will be advancing even 
more of the Commission's recommendations, such as strengthening the 
Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, establishing a 
national cyber director, establishing a joint planning office to 
coordinate cyber planning and readiness.
  Mr. Speaker, I just want to thank the committee chairman as well for 
working with us and the rest of the Cyberspace Solarium Commission. A 
great deal of effort went into our work. We had more than 50 
legislative proposals. I am greatly thankful for his help and 
everyone's help, and especially Representative Langevin, in getting the 
work of the committee across the finish line.
  There is no shortage of work left to be done to better secure us in 
cyberspace, but today we are taking a number of very, very important 
steps.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my 
time.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from 
Indiana (Mr. Banks), a member of our committee.
  Mr. BANKS. Mr. Speaker, I thank the ranking member for yielding, and 
I want to congratulate him on a tremendous record of service to our 
Nation and to our men and women in uniform. It seems fitting that this 
piece of legislation would be named after him.
  It should be no secret to anyone in this Congress about the threat 
that the Chinese Communist Party poses to Unites States national 
security interests and to the freedoms and values that Americans enjoy.
  President Trump demonstrated tremendous leadership by preparing the 
Nation for a new era of great power competition with the 2017 National 
Security Strategy. This year's NDAA upholds the ideals of the National 
Security Strategy more than ever and asserts U.S. leadership in the 
face of CCP aggression domestically and around the world.
  It is well documented that the Chinese Government's mismanagement of 
the novel coronavirus spread the virus worldwide; that the Chinese 
Government is engaging in human rights

[[Page H3327]]

abuses towards ethnic populations in China and politically suppressing 
voices in Hong Kong; that the Chinese Government has a strategy to 
consolidate manufacturing supply chains that hit all aspects of the 
U.S. economy; and that the Chinese Government is seeking to dominate 
next-generation communication hardware, steal United States technology 
and research, and censor the real truth about the Chinese Community 
Party's intentions and actions that run counter to American values of 
freedom and democracy. This defense bill takes several positive steps 
on China that both Republicans and Democrats support.
  The base bill includes funding for an initiative for the Indo-Pacific 
to deter China, similar to the European Deterrence Initiative to deter 
Russia.
  The bill also increases funding in emergent technologies, such as 
artificial intelligence, to maintain a technical edge against China, 
and starts taking financial actions to reduce China's role at the World 
Bank.
  However, there is a lot more that needs to be done, and there were a 
number of amendments that were offered that were ultimately not ruled 
in order for consideration that would have helped American 
competitiveness and safeguarded U.S. interests against the threat of 
China. I won't name all these amendments because there are many of 
them.
  It is imperative that we pass this bill and counter the China threat.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my 
time.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman 
from Wyoming (Ms. Cheney), the distinguished chair of the Republican 
Conference, who is also a member of our committee.
  Ms. CHENEY. Mr. Speaker, I thank in particular Ranking Member 
Thornberry and Chairman Smith for their work on this NDAA.
  I rise in strong support, Mr. Speaker, of this bipartisan William M. 
(Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act. A strong 
bipartisan act such as this one is more important today than perhaps 
ever before.
  As we are facing competition with our adversaries in emerging, 
contested domains, we have to develop cutting-edge capabilities in 
space, cyberspace, air, land, and sea, and we must do this at a time, 
Mr. Speaker, when a global pandemic continues to take lives and 
devastate economies around the world.
  This NDAA, Mr. Speaker, recognizes the role that America has played 
in ensuring peace, prosperity, and freedom around the world for 75 
years. It recognizes that our forward deployed forces are fundamental 
to deterring aggression and forestalling conflict. It recognizes that 
retrenchment and withdrawal are destabilizing and aid America's 
adversaries.
  Through its provisions, Mr. Speaker, this NDAA underscores that 
America faces a fundamental choice: We either continue to lead, 
including through forward deployed forces in places like Germany, 
Eastern Europe, and South Korea, or we retreat, thus ensuring that the 
global rules of the road will be set not by us and other free nations, 
but by our adversaries, including China and Russia.
  This bill enhances cooperation with critical allies in the Indo-
Pacific, authorizes funding to counter China, and fully funds the 
European Deterrence Initiative to enhance deterrence against Russia. It 
also fully funds nuclear modernization to ensure the safety and 
reliability of our nuclear stockpile and the credibility of our nuclear 
deterrent.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues today to ensure that this 
legislation passes the floor in the same bipartisan fashion in which it 
passed committee, staying true to the spirit of the Member after which 
it is named.

                              {time}  1430

  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the 
gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Hoyer), the distinguished majority leader 
of the House.
  Mr. HOYER. Mr. Speaker, I thank the chairman, Mr. Smith, for 
yielding. I thank Mr. Thornberry, the ranking member, for his efforts 
and partnership in bringing this bill to the floor in a bipartisan 
fashion.
  I join the previous speaker in the premise that she posited with 
respect to forward-leaning, ready and able to engage and to participate 
as leaders of the free world in securing the benefits of freedom and 
liberty to our globe.
  I want to thank Chairman Smith and the Armed Services Committee for 
ensuring a fair and bipartisan process as the House worked to craft a 
defense authorization bill that strengthens our national security and 
reflects our Nation's highest principles.
  I want to thank, as I said, Mac Thornberry and Chairman Smith, who 
have worked together throughout this process.
  I know that Democrats and Republicans on the committee and, indeed, 
in this House share a strong determination to do right by our troops 
and those they serve.
  Let me also thank Chairman McGovern and the Rules Committee for 
working to ensure that this bill comes to the floor under a process 
that allows for Members to offer amendments they feel will make our 
national defense stronger, while making certain that our defense 
policies reflect the best of America and helps address our long-term 
challenges.
  We consider this bill in a challenging environment. COVID-19 has 
attacked our people, our economy, and our country in a way unknown to 
any Member who serves in this body today. None of us are old enough to 
remember, of course, the Spanish flu, but we know that it did not have 
the same consequences in America that COVID-19 has had. It is a 
reminder that we are afflicted, not only by those who would cause us 
harm through armed might, but also through illness, climate change, and 
other natural disasters.
  I regret that we were unable to include every item the Democrats 
supported as part of the compromise that will enable us to get this 
bill passed. But, of course, that is what a compromise is.
  It is unfortunate that we could not take up an amendment rejecting 
the Trump administration ban on transgender Americans serving in our 
military. As John McCain once said so correctly: I don't care whether 
they are straight; I just care that they can shoot straight.
  We look at conduct and character, not differences that are not 
relevant to our ability to respond and to serve. Ending that ban will 
continue to be a priority for House Democrats.
  While not all amendments that were proposed will end up becoming part 
of the final bill we vote on, in their offering, Mr. Speaker, they 
played an important role in shaping the House's legislation and will 
surely continue to add to important policy discussions that we need to 
have in our country.
  One observation I would make, Mr. Speaker, is that one of the aspects 
of COVID-19's assault on our country has been to have a somewhat 
attenuated debate and discussion. I have discussed with Mr. Smith and 
Mr. Thornberry on numerous occasions the need to have a very deep dive 
into the fiscal viability of our defense budget, as well as our 
domestic budget, so that we can ensure, in the future, that operations, 
training, and acquisitions do not suffer because of the lack of 
resources.
  I am hopeful that the final bill we vote on tomorrow and send to the 
Senate will reflect a positive vision for our Nation's national defense 
and that it can pass with bipartisan support. I urge my Members to 
support it.
  Our national security challenges are many, and they are serious. That 
is why the Democratic-led House will continue to do its job responsibly 
and to work bipartisanly to ensure that our Nation is kept safe and 
that those who serve on the front lines in its defense have all the 
resources they need to carry out their missions safely and effectively.
  Again, Mr. Speaker, I thank Chairman Smith and the ranking member and 
all those who worked hard, including the committee staff who worked 
long hours under very stressful and unprecedented circumstances.
  I urge, in closing, Mr. Speaker, all Members to support this 
legislation.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, I presume the chair has no further 
speakers and, therefore, I yield myself the balance of my time.
  Mr. Speaker, I want to, again, thank each and every one of the 
members of the House Armed Services Committee. Every one of them, 
Republican, Democrat, those of us who have been there a

[[Page H3328]]

while, those who are new to the committee, have contributed to this 
product.
  As the chairman and I were saying, the dedicated professionals who 
work on the committee staff have done an outstanding job, especially, I 
think, under these conditions this year.
  I also want to thank my personal office, which has contributed in 
many ways to this whole effort. This has been all-hands-on-deck sort of 
work, and I appreciate their work as well.
  Finally, Mr. Speaker, I want to emphasize the importance of 
maintaining the bipartisan approach by which this bill came out of 
committee; 56-0 is not easy, and it is the chairman's leadership that 
enabled it to be so.
  Now, we have some work to do. We have some amendments to go through. 
If some of those amendments pass, it would be very hard to maintain 
that approach going through. But assuming we can maintain this 
bipartisan approach, where nobody gets everything they want, but there 
is enough there and a higher purpose that holds us together so that it 
can come out of this House on final passage tomorrow with a similar or 
roughly similar vote, I think that will be very important.
  It will be very important for the men and women who are serving our 
Nation all around the world to see that Republicans and Democrats can 
fight about taxes and healthcare and other things, but they can come 
together when it comes time to support them.

  For all those military families who have been disrupted with their 
moves during COVID and are undergoing all sorts of inconveniences and 
hardships, it is very important for them to see that Republicans and 
Democrats can come together in Congress to support them and to advance 
their interests.
  For allies and adversaries around the world, they need to see that, 
yes, we will argue with each other, and we will have a variety of 
differences, but when it comes to American national security, we stand 
together. I think if we can do that, that message alone is more 
important than any of the particulars of this bill.
  Standing together for American national security, for the men and 
women who serve and their families, that is the most important thing we 
can do. I hope and trust that will be the result come tomorrow.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of 
my time.
  Again, I urge Members to support this bill. I want to emphasize a 
point that a number of folks have made about the process, which sounds 
a little bland and a little bit dry, but that is actually how we 
produce such an excellent product, and I think it is a good model for 
how Congress should function.
  We debate issues. We take amendments from a wide and diverse group of 
people, and in so doing, the product gets better. We get the ideas, the 
benefit of the talents and the experience of everybody in Congress.
  We work it out where we can. We debate where we can't. Then, we vote, 
and we move the process forward.
  I think it is really, really important that the institution continues 
to function in that way. A number of institutions in our country, many 
that we have taken for granted for a long time, are under an enormous 
amount of pressure. It is very important to have coherent stability in 
the institutions of government.
  That is something that I know Mr. Thornberry prioritized during his 
service on the committee. It is something we all prioritize, to show 
people, as Mac pointed out, the system works--yes, the men and women 
who serve in our military, clearly, but everybody.
  It is a good thing when we get together and have these debates and 
create a legislative product, and I urge Members to support this 
product.
  In closing, I want to emphasize one point that has come up a number 
of times, and that is the importance of alliances and partnerships to 
our national security and to what the Department of Defense does. This 
bill has a number of provisions to strengthen that: support for NATO; 
support for our relationship with South Korea; support for the creation 
of an Indo-Pacific defense initiative, which is building upon the idea 
that we did with the European Defense Initiative. The goal there is to 
build the partnerships necessary to maintain our national security 
interests globally and, hopefully, without having to rely on the 
military.
  I know a number of my colleagues on this side of the aisle are 
concerned about how the U.S. has used its military over the years, and 
I don't disagree with that. The military should not be the first or 
primary tool of U.S. foreign policy and national security. But if that 
is to be the case, we need to build the partner capacity of allies 
throughout Europe and Asia.
  That is what this bill, I believe, reflects, that desire to give us 
peace by deterring our adversaries through a system of interlocking 
alliances. I think that is incredibly important.
  Before I close, I do want to address the issues. Concerns have been 
raised about some of the amendments.
  One particular concern is that there are some amendments that aren't 
necessarily within our jurisdiction. As the one bill that passes every 
year, this is not an unusual occurrence. I will point out that even 
when the Republicans were in the majority, we frequently had amendments 
that were outside the jurisdiction of our committee, including in the 
lands area.
  Who can forget the lesser prairie chicken and the years after years 
that we fought over that? That, too, is part of this process, and I 
hope, however that comes out, it will not, in any way, undermine the 
incredible bipartisan work that has been done on the bill and, gosh, 
the nearly 1,500 provisions that will be reflected in that bill once we 
get done here.
  I think whatever disagreements there may be on a few amendments 
coming forward, the best thing that we can do for this institution, for 
this committee, for the way the legislative process is supposed to 
work, and, as all of us have said, most importantly, for the men and 
women who are serving in our military, we show them that we support the 
defense bill. We support them. We support what they do.
  We have worked together to produce an excellent product that is 
worthy of the support of every Member of this body. I urge everyone to 
vote ``yes.''
  Again, I thank everyone who was involved in the process.
  Lastly, I want to close by joining my colleagues in recognizing the 
life of   John Lewis. He brought honor to this country. He lived a life 
that made us all feel better about where we live.
  I think the thing that I will always remember about John is, gosh, he 
lived a very tough life. He took on tough fights, but he did it with 
joy. You never saw John Lewis get really down. He always had this joy 
about him, even in the face of some unbelievable injustice.
  He did not hate his enemies. He didn't attack them. He stood up for 
what was right.
  I hope we can all learn from that lesson and build upon it, bringing 
this country together and deal with the challenges that we face now as 
he dealt with the challenges that he faced during his life.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 
3 printed in House Report 116-457.
  Ms. ESCOBAR. Mr. Speaker, I have an amendment at the desk.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 1053, the 
gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. Escobar) and a Member opposed each will 
control 5 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Texas.

                              {time}  1445

  Ms. ESCOBAR. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Mr. Speaker, for over 200 years, Presidents have had the authority to 
send the military into American communities at times of unrest.
  The Insurrection Act is a power many Americans are unaware of 
primarily because it has historically rarely been invoked. It has, at 
times, been used by Presidents at the request of State Governors, but 
during our Nation's tumultuous civil rights era, it was an authority 
used by Presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson against the wishes 
of Southern Governors.
  Their use of the military in American communities helped protect the 
civil rights of African Americans at a time of deep national unrest. In 
fact, the Insurrection Act was used to protect Selma to Montgomery 
marchers in 1965, protection needed by the marchers after Bloody 
Sunday, where our beloved late colleague,   John Lewis, was beaten and 
bloodied. This is an important Presidential power intended to restore 
peace and protect Americans.
  My amendment does not seek to undermine or eliminate this authority. 
Instead, it is intended to bring about transparency and close a 
loophole.
  America is founded in a Constitution that enshrines a system of 
separate but coequal branches of government. As such, Congress has a 
duty to evaluate for any Presidential power where consultation may be 
necessary and to provide oversight.
  Today, if the President of the United States chooses to use military 
force abroad, the President would have to consult with Congress. Yet 
that same consultation is not required for use of military force on 
American soil. My amendment closes that loophole providing for 
consultation and oversight similar to what is currently required when 
the military is called on to engage overseas.
  The NDAA is our annual opportunity and responsibility to evaluate and 
authorize defense activities. With this amendment to a centuries-old 
law, Congress and future Presidents can ensure that Insurrection Act 
authority, when used, is consistent with our history of preserving 
peace and civil rights in America.
  Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. LAMBORN. Mr. Speaker, I claim the time in opposition.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Colorado is recognized 
for 5 minutes.
  Mr. LAMBORN. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Mr. Speaker, this amendment would be a major change to the 
Insurrection Act first invoked by Thomas Jefferson more than 200 years 
ago. Under this amendment, a President would not be able to act quickly 
and decisively in the event of riots that are not being controlled at 
the State or municipal

[[Page H3330]]

level. He would have to, along with the Secretary of Defense, certify 
certain findings to Congress and then consult with Congress.
  This would hinder and delay needed action to preserve domestic peace. 
Any military personnel then deployed would have burdensome restrictions 
placed upon them that would make them less effective in controlling 
violence and riots.
  It is ironic that we are considering this amendment on a day when we 
are honoring the life of Representative   John Lewis, an icon in the 
civil rights movement whose passing I, too, mourn.
  You see, Mr. Speaker, had this amendment been law during the 1950s 
and 1960s, the progress of civil rights in this country would have been 
stifled. By being forced to consult with Congress, Presidents 
Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson could have been blocked by a Senate 
majority that at the time was preventing all progress on civil rights. 
It is a matter of history.
  My Uncle Jim Lamborn was a Federal employee at Leavenworth 
Penitentiary in 1957 when he was deputized as a marshal and sent to 
Little Rock, Arkansas, with many others so Black children could go to 
integrated public schools. President Eisenhower had to oppose the 
Arkansas Governor and act unilaterally to make this happen. If 
Eisenhower had to oppose an obstructionist House or Senate also, it may 
have never happened.
  So, looking at today's headlines, I would like to ask the sponsor of 
this amendment, in light of the violence and rioting in Seattle and 
Portland, which for whatever reasons are not being controlled by the 
mayors of those cities, would President Trump be justified to invoke 
the Insurrection Act as amended by this amendment?
  Ms. ESCOBAR. Will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. LAMBORN. I yield to the gentlewoman from Texas.
  Ms. ESCOBAR. Mr. Speaker, this is not about when or whether a 
President utilizes the Insurrection Act. This is simply about 
consulting with Congress in the same way that we expect a President to 
consult with Congress.
  Mr. LAMBORN. Reclaiming my time, Mr. Speaker, apparently the 
gentlewoman is not willing to answer this question. If she can't answer 
this question, then I don't think we have to take it seriously. I think 
it is a political gimmick.
  Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. ESCOBAR. Mr. Speaker, I yield such time as she may consume to the 
gentlewoman from New Jersey (Ms. Sherrill).
  Ms. SHERRILL. Mr. Speaker, Federal forces should only be deployed in 
the United States with the utmost transparency and only when it is 
absolutely necessary to protect our country and our citizens. What we 
are seeing in Portland and what we saw in Washington is deeply 
disturbing, and it is contrary to the values of a democratic society.
  As a veteran, I am particularly concerned when it implicates our 
military. Congress has a responsibility to exercise oversight over the 
use of military force. Unfortunately, in recent months, we have seen 
threats of force against U.S. citizens without consulting Congress and 
without delineating the legal authorities under which the forces are 
operating.
  The Insurrection Act has been used with great and important effect to 
integrate elementary schools and universities, suppress the Ku Klux 
Klan, and to protect the American people. This amendment does not 
prevent any President from employing the Insurrection Act should it 
become necessary, nor would it prevent the Insurrection Act from being 
used to protect Americans' civil rights in the future. It simply 
ensures that the Insurrection Act is used in keeping with centuries of 
precedent--as a last resort and with strong oversight by Congress.

  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this amendment.
  Mr. LAMBORN. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman 
from Mississippi (Mr. Kelly).
  Mr. KELLY of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for 
yielding.
  Mr. Speaker, this is dangerous. This same amendment, but in a lesser 
form not nearly as dangerous and not nearly as restrictive, was 
defeated in a bipartisan manner in committee. The reason that it was is 
because we are having a knee-jerk reaction to what we think the 
President might do--not what he did, but what we think he might do.
  This is dangerous. I can tell you, Mr. Speaker, I come from a State 
where, had the Insurrection Act not been in effect when Eisenhower and 
Kennedy were Presidents, we would be in a different-looking Chamber 
today. They allowed the schools of Mississippi, Arkansas, and Alabama 
to be integrated. Those Presidents allowed, through the Insurrection 
Act, the Freedom Riders to go through the State of Mississippi with the 
National Guard.
  But here we are with more restrictions. Not only do we want to put 
troops out there when we say it is okay--and I don't know who ``we'' 
is, but it doesn't need to be a ``we''--but we are going to further 
restrict the President, and we are going to tie the hands of those 
servicemembers whom we send in harm's way. It is dangerous. They can't 
search, and they can't participate.
  Mr. Speaker, we need to defeat this amendment, and there needs to be 
a long discussion if we want to change that. But it doesn't need to be 
in this bill. This is a poison pill. Let's defeat this amendment.
  Ms. ESCOBAR. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from 
Minnesota (Ms. Omar).
  Ms. OMAR. Mr. Speaker, if a President decides to deploy troops 
domestically, the very least we can do as Congress is demand the same 
level of transparency that we expect when our troops are sent abroad.
  It is true that the Insurrection Act was used to integrate Little 
Rock Central High School and the University of Mississippi. It is also 
true that it was used to crush slave revolts and labor organizing.
  This amendment will go a long way towards helping inform Congress and 
the American people how a President intends to use the authority.
  This is not an abstract conversation. When the President threatened 
to invoke the Insurrection Act recently, he was threatening my 
constituents and our constituents. Unmistakably, he was threatening 
people exercising their First Amendment rights.
  There can be genuine emergencies when these powers are needed. We 
must protect against all possible abuses in situations where the 
emergencies do not exist.
  Mr. LAMBORN. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Michigan (Mr. Bergman), who is a retired three-star general and Member 
of the House Armed Services Committee.
  Mr. BERGMAN. Mr. Speaker, I oppose this amendment. It would require 
the President and the Secretary of Defense to certify to Congress with 
demonstrable evidence that a State is unwilling or unable to suppress 
civil unrest prior to invoking the Insurrection Act.
  What is demonstrable evidence? How do we define that?
  At that point, who knows how much time would go by before help is 
given to the city or State that needs it.
  Also, the limitation placed on military personnel in this amendment 
is concerning. We are telling our military that, if you go in, then you 
either do nothing or you use extreme force. There is no in between.
  Unfortunately, too many elected officials don't understand the 
difference between emergency response, peacekeeping, and peacemaking.
  We are setting the military up for failure. This amendment is 
dangerous and unnecessary, not to mention the entire debate on the 
Insurrection Act is just another attack on the President. Because we 
don't like something the current President said--not even what he did, 
but something he said--we are going to punish not just this President, 
but every President after this and all the States that may need help in 
the future.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to oppose this amendment.
  Mr. LAMBORN. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Ms. ESCOBAR. Mr. Speaker, how much time do I have remaining.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman has three-quarters of a 
minute remaining.
  Ms. ESCOBAR. Mr. Speaker, I just want to frame this very simply. We 
are asking for the same transparency and

[[Page H3331]]

consultation when a President decides to use troops on American soil as 
when he decides to send troops abroad.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this amendment, and I 
yield back the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 1053, the 
previous question is ordered on the amendment offered by the 
gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. Escobar).
  The question is on the amendment.
  The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that 
the ayes appeared to have it.
  Mr. LAMBORN. Mr. Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3 of House Resolution 
965, the yeas and nays are ordered.
  Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, further proceedings on this question 
will be postponed.


                 Amendment No. 4 offered by Mr. McAdams

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 
4 printed in House Report 116-457.
  Mr. McADAMS. Mr. Speaker, I have an amendment at the desk.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       Add at the end of subtitle B of title XXXI the following 
     new section:

     SEC. 3121. PROHIBITION ON USE OF FUNDS FOR NUCLEAR WEAPONS 
                   TEST EXPLOSIONS.

       (a) In General.--None of the funds authorized to be 
     appropriated by this Act or otherwise made available for 
     fiscal year 2021, or authorized to be appropriated or 
     otherwise made available for any fiscal year before fiscal 
     year 2021 and available for obligation as of the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, may be obligated or expended to 
     conduct or make preparations for any explosive nuclear 
     weapons test that produces any yield.
       (b) Rule of Construction.--Nothing in subsection (a) shall 
     be construed to apply to nuclear stockpile stewardship 
     activities that are consistent with the zero-yield standard 
     and other requirements under law.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 1053, the 
gentleman from Utah (Mr. McAdams) and a Member opposed each will 
control 5 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Utah.
  Mr. McADAMS. Mr. Speaker, when Utahns learned about recent high-level 
meetings on resuming nuclear weapons testing, it rang alarm bells. 
Thousands of Utahns are still dealing with trauma inflicted by bombs 
exploded from decades past leaving a legacy of illness, suffering, and 
death. Why would we ever go down that path again?
  For 24 straight years, the Department of Energy and DOD continue to 
certify the safety, security, and effectiveness of our nuclear weapons 
stockpile without the use of nuclear explosive testing. That was 
confirmed to still be the case at the end of June.
  My amendment prohibits the use of funds to prepare for or conduct any 
explosive nuclear weapons test that produces any yield.
  My amendment does nothing to interfere with our stockpile program. It 
allows for national security preparedness consistent with zero-yield 
standards. Nuclear clouds must never again threaten the health and 
safety of those living downwind.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge adoption of this amendment, and I reserve the 
balance of my time.

                              {time}  1500

  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, I claim the time in opposition.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Texas is recognized for 5 
minutes.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the distinguished 
gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Turner).
  Mr. TURNER. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to this amendment 
because this is another one of these unilateral disarmament movement 
provisions that come before this body every year.
  Mr. Speaker, I would love to take a vote in this body to restrain 
China, to restrain Russia, to restrain North Korea, to actually 
restrain our adversaries. But instead of restraining our adversaries or 
enter into negotiations where we come to agreement, we give things up.
  Mr. Speaker, in this, we are giving something up. There is a 
Presidential directive. This isn't even trying to undo law. There is a 
Presidential directive that President Clinton signed, and every 
President since him, that said that we will do very limited testing 
because we do testing of our stockpiles and experimental work to ensure 
the reliability and the fact that our nuclear weapon system is reliable 
and safe. We do so because our adversaries see that deterrent as a 
means to restrain them from their adventuresomeness across the globe.
  But the other aspect--again, back to, ``I would like to restrain our 
adversaries''--right now, China and Russia are developing brand-new 
nuclear weapons. They are deploying hypersonic weapons. Russia has a 
new nuclear-powered cruise missile that can circle the globe and then 
come in.
  But every year, when we bring the National Defense Authorization Act 
back, we are more focused on how we can restrain ourselves than 
restrain our adversaries. And that makes us less safe.
  The way that this amendment is drafted actually doesn't allow us to 
continue to do what we are doing. It says zero-yield standard. We 
actually have subcritical testing that would exceed what you have in 
here that we do right now that is essential for what we do.
  This is an amendment that is trying to solve a problem that doesn't 
exist.
  Lisa Gordon-Hagerty just issued a letter, as you said, in June. We 
are not even going to do this, I mean, not the way you are worried 
about us doing it. We are not headed toward testing.
  But if we pass your amendment, it is going to stop us from being able 
to do what we are currently doing. We are going to restrain ourselves 
in a way that our adversaries aren't, and we are going to be less safe.
  Mr. McADAMS. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Washington (Mr. Smith), the distinguished chair of the House Committee 
on Armed Services.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I fear this debate is going to 
come down to a difference of opinion on tax. My staff and I have looked 
at this very, very carefully. This does not restrict us from what we 
are currently doing, and it is the position of this sponsor and myself 
that we need to make sure our stockpile is safe and usable, and we have 
an adequate deterrent. We do not need to do live nuclear testing.
  Mr. Speaker, the reason we are concerned about this is because the 
Senate has actually put $10 million into their version of this defense 
bill to do precisely that. So, there are some who apparently think this 
would be a good idea.
  We want to make it clear: We don't think it is a good idea to do live 
nuclear testing. Keep doing what you are doing. That is fine. Collect 
your stockpile. We don't need to be setting off nuclear weapons again.
  In this regard, what Russia and China are doing is beside the point. 
It is not in our best interest to do this. If they think it is in their 
best interests to do live testing, I would disagree with that.
  This doesn't help protect us. It endangers people unnecessarily.
  I know we are going to get into a debate over the actual language 
here, but be clear on what this amendment does.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentleman has expired.
  Mr. McADAMS. Mr. Speaker, I yield the gentleman an additional 20 
seconds.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, this amendment allows us to 
continue doing what we are already doing to preserve and protect our 
nuclear deterrent. It simply says: You can't go setting off nuclear 
weapons again. It doesn't work. It doesn't help. And it is 
extraordinarily dangerous.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge adoption of the amendment.
  Mr. McADAMS. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from 
Hawaii (Ms. Gabbard).
  Ms. GABBARD. Mr. Speaker, we are living in very dangerous times.
  Yes, we are in the midst of a global pandemic, which should be 
inspiring our Nation's leaders to deescalate tensions with other 
countries, work with world leaders to defeat this disease that 
threatens us all, but that is not what we are seeing. Instead, we are 
seeing increasing tensions and a new cold war being waged on two fronts 
between the U.S. and China and Russia, with thousands of nuclear 
missiles at the ready.
  Instead of deescalating tensions, the Trump administration is making

[[Page H3332]]

things worse by tearing up the INF Treaty, ending the Open Skies 
Treaty, making no effort to renew the New START treaty, and dangerously 
moving to violate the nuclear test ban treaty, which, if allowed, would 
only encourage other countries like North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Iran, 
and many others to develop or to increase nuclear weapons capabilities, 
rapidly increasing the proliferation of these nuclear weapons and a 
nuclear arms race around the world.
  Mr. Speaker, this puts us all at risk because there is only one 
outcome to this escalation of tensions and a nuclear arms race, and 
that is total destruction of our world.

  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this critical amendment.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the distinguished 
gentlewoman from Wyoming (Ms. Cheney).
  Ms. CHENEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong opposition to this 
amendment, which threatens to undermine the credibility of our Nation's 
nuclear deterrent.
  Mr. Speaker, there is a consistency on the other side of the aisle 
which is very concerning. It finds a moral equivalence between the 
United States and our adversaries, also an affinity for treaties that 
bind only the United States and no one else.
  Mr. Speaker, if this amendment becomes law, the United States loses 
the ability to ensure that we can test, if necessary, to ensure that 
our deterrent is reliable and, therefore, credible. That prohibition 
emboldens our adversaries, and it undermines our allies' faith in the 
nuclear umbrella.
  We provide a nuclear umbrella. We provide security to allies so they 
do not have to develop their own nuclear weapons. So an amendment that 
ensures that the United States is no longer going to be able to 
guarantee a credible nuclear stockpile is going to make nuclear 
proliferation more likely, not less likely.
  Mr. Speaker, this is a dangerous amendment, an amendment which ties 
the hands of the United States, when we know that the Chinese are, in 
fact, undergoing a huge nuclear buildup and likely testing. And we know 
that the Russians are doing the same.
  Mr. Speaker, this is dangerous. There is absolutely no reason we need 
to do it. It contradicts a Clinton-era Presidential directive under 
which the NNSA must maintain readiness to resume underground nuclear 
testing, if necessary. This could be the case, for example, if our 
stockpile experiences a unique failure.
  Mr. Speaker, this is a mistaken amendment. It is a misguided 
amendment that finds moral equivalence between the United States and 
our adversaries and ties the hands of the United States.
  Mr. Speaker, imagine the message it sends when Members of this body 
stand up and actively urge that we tie the hands of the United States 
while we allow the Russians and the Chinese to move forward with their 
developments and with their testing.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to oppose this dangerous amendment.
  Mr. McADAMS. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from 
Nevada (Ms. Titus), the congresswoman who has written the book on 
nuclear testing.
  Ms. TITUS. Mr. Speaker, I join Congressman McAdams in support of this 
amendment, which prohibits the Trump administration from conducting a 
dangerous and unnecessary explosive nuclear test. You want to see 
something dangerous, take a look at his foreign policy.
  Mr. Speaker, for over two decades, our Nation's top scientists have 
conducted sophisticated tests to ensure the safety and reliability of 
our nuclear stockpile without detonating these weapons.
  As recently as 3 weeks ago, the NNSA stated that they identify no 
technical reason to resume underground explosive nuclear testing. We 
should heed their words. They are the experts.
  Moreover, conducting an explosive nuclear test encourages our 
adversaries, like Russia and China, to do the same. There is no good 
reason to risk the restart of a global arms race, especially at a time 
when we have the technological advantage.
  An entire generation of Cold War patriots and families who worked at 
and lived downwind of the Nevada test site have suffered illnesses 
linked to radiation exposure. They know what is at risk if we allow 
this administration to conduct such a harmful experiment. We shouldn't 
do it.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this amendment.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, I am prepared to close, and I reserve 
the balance of my time.
  Mr. McADAMS. Mr. Speaker, explosive nuclear testing is not necessary 
to ensure that our stockpile remains safe, and nothing in this 
amendment would change that.
  Explosive nuclear testing causes irreparable harm to human health and 
our environment and jeopardizes the U.S. leadership role on nuclear 
nonproliferation.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge the adoption of my amendment, and I yield back 
the balance of my time.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time.
  Mr. Speaker, near as I can tell, this is an amendment in response to 
a mistaken press story. We depend on nuclear deterrent as the 
cornerstone of our defense efforts. The nuclear weapons are aging 
machines. We don't understand everything that happens as they age. We 
have fewer of them and fewer kinds of them so that if there is a 
problem, it is a bigger deal.
  So, what we have decided to do is to be ready to test in case we need 
to. That is what the $10 million in the Senate is. It is test 
readiness, like the diagnostic machines, the machines that dig holes in 
the ground to do these underground tests.
  We need to be ready. The harder we make it to test, the more 
obstacles we put in the way of a test if needed--only if needed. But 
the harder we make it, the less credible our nuclear deterrent is. The 
less credible our nuclear deterrent is, the more our adversaries will 
try to take advantage of us and the more our allies will decide to 
develop their own nuclear weapons because they can't depend on us.
  Mr. Speaker, these things are important. They have big consequences. 
We should not make decisions like this based on a mistaken press story.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge that the amendment be rejected, and I yield back 
the balance of my time.
  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of the amendment 
offered by Representatives McAdams, Titus, Horsford and myself.
  Mr. Speaker, on July 16th, 75 years ago at 5:29 a.m., the first ever 
nuclear explosion burned across the skies of New Mexico, changing the 
world forever.
  The Trinity Test was certainly an astonishing moment. When the bomb, 
called the Gadget, detonated, the observing scientists experienced the 
literal definition of shock and awe.
  A great deal has happened since that first test of an atomic bomb. 
The United States is the only nation to have used nuclear bombs against 
a foreign nation. The U.S. carried out tests for several decades, 
ending them only in 1992.
  During those years, nuclear testing killed or sickened thousands of 
military personnel who were involved in the detonations, as well the 
people who lived downrange from U.S. test sites, including tens of 
thousands in the continental United States. These communities are still 
dealing with the devastating legacy of nuclear testing decades after 
the U.S. conducted its last nuclear test in 1992. The responsible step 
for Congress would be to extend and expand the Radiation Effects 
Compensation Act (RECA) rather than to endorse talk of resuming U.S. 
nuclear testing, which would dishonor the experiences of downwinders 
and atomic veterans.
  The United States established a blue-ribbon panel to investigate what 
had happened to our atomic veterans, resulting in public apologies by 
Presidents H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton and George Bush and special 
reparations and health program by the Departments of Justice and 
Veterans Affairs. I would like to thank Chairman Adam Smith and Ranking 
Member Thornberry for including in the underlying bill, H.R. 6395, a 
provision to honor our Atomic Veterans with a service medal, and I urge 
them to fight to include this provision in the final conference report 
of the NDAA later this year.
  For more than a quarter-century, the Science-Based Stockpile 
Stewardship Program has worked extraordinarily well in ensuring the 
reliability of the existing nuclear warhead types in the U.S. arsenal. 
The overwhelming majority of the past U.S. nuclear test explosions were 
for ``weapons development'' and ``weapons effects'' purposes. There is

[[Page H3333]]

simply no technical reason to resume testing now, nor in the 
foreseeable future.
  Mr. Speaker, resuming U.S. testing would violate the global taboo 
against nuclear testing established by the 1996 Comprehensive Test Ban 
Treaty. As one of the 184 signatories of the CTBT, the United States 
has a legal obligation not to take actions that violate the object and 
purpose of the treaty, which is to prohibit nuclear test explosions, no 
matter what the yield. Renewed testing by the U.S. would undermine 
global support for operating and maintaining the treaty's International 
Monitoring System, which the United States itself depends upon to help 
monitor other states' compliance with the nuclear test ban.
  The McAdams-Titus amendment is right thing to do. It is the smart 
thing to do. And it is the moral and humane thing to do.
  For these and so many other reasons, I urge all my colleagues to 
support the McAdams amendment.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. All time for debate has expired.
  Pursuant to House Resolution 1053, the previous question is ordered 
on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Utah (Mr. McAdams).
  The question is on the amendment.
  The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that 
the ayes appeared to have it.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, I demand the yeas and nays.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3 of House Resolution 
965, the yeas and nays are ordered.
  Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, further proceedings on this question 
are postponed.


                  Amendment No. 5 Offered by Ms. Omar

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 
5 printed in House Report 116-457.
  Ms. OMAR. Mr. Speaker, I have an amendment at the desk.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       Page 766, beginning line 15, strike section 1213 and insert 
     the following:

     SEC. 1213. COMPLETION OF ACCELERATED TRANSITION OF UNITED 
                   STATES COMBAT AND MILITARY AND SECURITY 
                   OPERATIONS TO THE GOVERNMENT OF AFGHANISTAN.

       (a) In General.--It is the policy of the United States 
     that, in coordination with the Government of Afghanistan, 
     North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) member countries, 
     and other allies in Afghanistan, the President shall--
       (1) complete the accelerated transition of United States 
     combat operations to the Government of Afghanistan by April 
     29, 2021;
       (2) complete the accelerated transition of all military 
     forces of the United States, its allies, and coalition 
     partners, including all non-diplomatic civilian personnel, 
     security contractors, trainers, advisors, and supporting 
     services personnel by April 29, 2021; and
       (3) implement the US--Taliban agreement of February 29, 
     2020, in pursuit of a political settlement and reconciliation 
     of the internal conflict in Afghanistan that includes the 
     Government of Afghanistan, all interested parties within 
     Afghanistan, and the observance and support of 
     representatives of donor countries active in Afghanistan, 
     regional governments, and partners, in order to secure a 
     secure and independent Afghanistan and regional security and 
     stability.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) if the President determines that it is necessary to 
     maintain United States Armed Forces in Afghanistan to carry 
     out missions after April 29, 2021, such continued presence 
     and missions should be authorized by a separate vote of 
     Congress not later than October 7, 2021; and
       (2) the withdrawal of the United States Armed Forces from 
     Afghanistan must be accompanied by a long-term peace process 
     that is inclusive of all parties to the conflict and sectors 
     of civil society.
       (c) Rule of Construction.--Nothing in this section may be 
     construed to prohibit or otherwise limit any authority of the 
     President to--
       (1) modify the military strategy, tactics, and operations 
     of United States Armed Forces as such Armed Forces redeploy 
     from Afghanistan;
       (2) attack al Qaeda forces wherever such forces are 
     located;
       (3) provide financial support and equipment to the 
     Government of Afghanistan for the training and supply of 
     Afghanistan military and security forces; or
       (4) gather, provide, and share intelligence with United 
     States allies operating in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 1053, the 
gentlewoman from Minnesota (Ms. Omar) and a Member opposed each will 
control 5 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Minnesota.
  Ms. OMAR. Mr. Speaker, October of next year will mark 20 years since 
the war in Afghanistan started. That is a generation of devastation in 
Afghanistan, a generation of our men and women in uniform being sent to 
fight and die for a war with no exit strategy. And still, to this day, 
there are people saying that we shouldn't be too hasty in leaving.
  Too hasty? It has been two decades.
  Mr. Speaker, there will never be a perfect time to withdraw our 
troops. There will never be a time when making the right decision does 
not include some risks.
  Our obligation to Afghanistan's stability will not end when our 
troops leave. My amendment sets a clear timeline and clear 
Congressional intent that we must end our country's longest war.
  Mr. Speaker, we put this debate in context. I want to say this 
amendment was offered by my friend, Chairman McGovern, 7 years ago. It 
passed the House in 2013 with the majority of both parties voting in 
favor. During that debate, Mr. McGovern stood on the floor and said: 
``The future and fate of tens of thousands of uniformed men and women 
deserve a vote.'' The House took that vote, and 305 Members of this 
body voted to end the war in Afghanistan.
  Yet, since then, we have had 7 years of fighting and sustained 
violence, 7 years of civilian casualties, 7 years of servicemembers 
being forced to say good-bye to their families and subjected to a 
terrible trauma.
  In many ways, it is baffling to me that I have to do this, but I echo 
Mr. McGovern's words from 2013: The future and fate of thousands of 
uniformed men and women deserve a vote.
  As a survivor of war, I can tell you that even 1 more minute of 
conflict comes with a cost that is too great for most to imagine.
  Finally, I say that I do not believe that the end of military 
engagement should be the end of our obligation to the Afghanistan 
people. Mr. Speaker, my amendment calls for a comprehensive peace plan 
that includes all sectors of civil society. It calls for renewed 
engagement on diplomacy and development. It calls us to fulfill our 
moral and strategic obligation but not to risk one more life of 
American servicemembers in a war with no clear objective.

                              {time}  1515

  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, I claim the time in opposition to the 
amendment.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Texas is recognized for 5 
minutes.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman 
from Wyoming (Ms. Cheney).
  Ms. CHENEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong opposition to this 
amendment.
  Our forces remain in Afghanistan in order to prevent terrorists from 
establishing safe havens from which they can launch attacks against the 
United States.
  My colleague, Ms. Omar, has said that she is a survivor of war, and I 
honor the fact that she has been able to find safety and refuge and 
citizenship and opportunity and freedom and that she stands with me 
today on the floor of this body, this people's House. I think that 
tells you what an incredible nation the United States is.
  But I also think that as someone who has described herself as a 
survivor of war, she would recognize more fully the damage and the 
devastation that was done to the United States of America on September 
11 when we were attacked by terrorists who trained and plotted and 
launched from bases in Afghanistan.
  Decisions about troop levels in Afghanistan must be based on 
conditions on the ground. Wars don't end because the United States 
retreats. What that means is that we have ceded the ground to our 
adversaries. And wars don't end because some number of years have 
passed. We have to decide whether we want to fight the terrorists, al-
Qaida, ISIS, the Taliban, in Afghanistan or whether we have to fight 
them here.
  Pretending the Taliban is a partner for peace, especially in the 
wake, Mr. Speaker, of reports that Russia is paying the Taliban to kill 
United States troops, is indefensible, whether you are a Democrat or a 
Republican.
  I urge my colleagues to recognize that decisions about troop levels 
must

[[Page H3334]]

be made based on what is necessary to prevent terrorists from 
establishing safe havens they can use to attack all of us and the 
freedoms and the values we hold dear.
  This is a dangerous amendment. I urge my colleagues to oppose it.
  Ms. OMAR. Mr. Speaker, the last time this amendment was voted on in 
2013, again, it got 305 Members of this body to vote for it. Nothing 
has changed since then.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentlewoman from 
California (Ms. Lee), the only Member of the House to vote against the 
2001 authorization for war.
  Ms. LEE of California. Mr. Speaker, first of all, let me thank 
Congresswoman Omar for introducing this amendment and for her 
tremendous leadership; also, to Chairman McGovern, who offered this 
amendment several years ago when it passed the House with the support 
of, as Congresswoman Omar said, over 300 Members.
  Our war in Afghanistan began almost two decades ago. At that time, we 
drafted, debated, and passed an authorization for Use of Military Force 
in 3 days. Congress applied no time limit. It gave authority for a 
mission so broad and vaguely defined that it has essentially created a 
blank check for 20 years of war.
  Yes, I was opposed then to that resolution. But, quite frankly, I 
gain no satisfaction that my fears have been fully justified. But I do 
think there is a lesson here, and that is that Congress that needs to 
play a more active role in defining the scope and the timing of how 
America makes war.
  Some of my friends will argue against this amendment by saying we 
cannot tie the hands of the military. I would ask them to look at where 
we are. When Congress fails to insist on limits and guidelines for our 
military, the mission gets confused and lost.
  We have now negotiated an agreement to bring our role in Afghanistan 
to an end. The President himself has said that he intends to bring our 
troops home. This amendment will provide the accountability for doing 
so.
  It is far past time to bring almost two decades--mind you, two 
decades--of nonstop war to an end. These forever wars have spanned 
wider and wider.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentlewoman has expired.
  Ms. OMAR. Mr. Speaker, I yield an additional 30 seconds to the 
gentlewoman from California (Ms. Lee).
  Ms. LEE of California. These wars, I remind you, have cost us $5 
trillion and claimed hundreds of thousands of lives.
  The war in Afghanistan is the longest war in American history, with 
troops now fighting a war that was launched before they were even born.
  Enough is enough. This is a thoughtful and deliberative way for us to 
untangle our military from Afghanistan and bring this long war to an 
end.
  So I want to thank the gentlewoman from Minnesota for her tremendous 
leadership in bringing this important amendment to the floor, and I ask 
for an ``aye'' vote.
  Ms. OMAR. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Colorado (Mr. Crow), a distinguished combat veteran.
  Mr. CROW. Mr. Speaker, after almost 20 years and thousands of lives, 
the war in Afghanistan must come to an end. I know, because I served 
two combat tours there and saw the horrors of that war. That is why, 
since coming to Congress, I have been at the forefront of efforts to 
end the war and reassert Congress' war powers and end some of the 
Authorizations for Use of Military Force.
  But in doing so, we must not be driven by artificial deadlines 
dictated by election-year politics. We must coordinate with our allies 
who still serve shoulder to shoulder with us. We must protect our 
troops during very high-risk withdrawal operations. We must prevent a 
resurgence of ISIS like we saw in Iraq. And, importantly, we must 
establish some safeguards for the women and children of Afghanistan.
  Let's do this. Let's bring our troops home and dedicate our resources 
here. But let's do it the right way, not rushed by the coming election 
day.
  Many of my colleagues and I share the same goals, but there is a 
right way to do it and a wrong way to do it. That is why I urge my 
colleagues to oppose this amendment.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Massachusetts (Mr. Moulton), another distinguished combat veteran.
  Mr. MOULTON. Mr. Speaker, I share the same goals as Mr. Crow and my 
colleagues. And I have tremendous respect for Representative Omar, who 
has brought this amendment forward for debate.
  I don't think there is anyone who wants to bring the troops home more 
than someone like Mr. Crow, who has served on the ground in Afghanistan 
in combat. But there is an objective for this war. There is a reason 
why he went and put his life on the line for this country, and that is 
to prevent another terrorist attack here at home.
  It is our solemn duty to protect the people of the United States and 
maintain our national security. We didn't end World War II by saying to 
the Germans: ``We are going to withdraw by a certain deadline.'' We 
came home when the job was done.
  We can have a very wise and important debate about whether we are 
doing the job well in Afghanistan and as quickly as possible. We can't 
forget why we have gone. We can't forget what it takes to come home.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time.
  Mr. Speaker, somehow, somewhere, common sense has to play a role 
here. We have a negotiated agreement with the Taliban. Part of that 
agreement involves the reduction and ultimate withdrawal of U.S. 
troops. In return, the Taliban has promised to play a more constructive 
role in the country.
  This amendment says we are leaving anyway, no matter what the Taliban 
does. It wraps up their fondest wish, puts a bow on it, and just hands 
it to them, betraying the brave men and women of Afghanistan who have 
worked and sacrificed to build a better country and worked side by side 
with us to prevent another terrorist attack against us.
  That seems to make no sense. Why would we do such a thing?
  As all the speakers have said, we all want to ultimately leave 
Afghanistan. We should do so in a way that is fair to our allies, fair 
to the people of Afghanistan, and protects American national security. 
Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of 
Amendment No. 5 offered by the gentlelady from Minnesota, Congresswoman 
Omar, to establish a policy framework for the accelerated withdrawal of 
U.S. forces from Afghanistan. I thank Congresswoman Omar for her 
leadership on this and so many other critical foreign and defense 
policy issues.
  Mr. Speaker, in October of this year, the United States will have 
been engaged in the Afghanistan conflict for 19 years. That's 19 years 
of war, Mr. Speaker. Nineteen years of terrible losses of life--among 
our brave troops and servicemembers, our coalition partners, 
humanitarian and other development aid workers, and most of all, among 
the people of Afghanistan who have suffered the highest death toll.
  The numbers of deaths and injuries are chilling: nearly 2400 U.S. 
military have died; over 20,000 have been wounded; and over 1700 U.S. 
contractors have lost their lives in Afghanistan. For the Afghan 
people, the war has been devastating: over 100,000 Afghan civilians 
have been killed or wounded over the course of this war. According to 
the United Nations, whose figures are considered conservative, for each 
of the past six years, Afghan civilians have suffered over 10,000 
casualties annually. Mr. Speaker, it is likely that every family in 
Afghanistan has suffered grave loss from this unending war.
  It's been 19 years of devastation, Mr. Speaker. No one can assert 
that it would be a hasty or untimely moment to consider withdrawing our 
forces from Afghanistan. In fact, I believe that it is well past time 
for the United States to withdraw its forces, close the chapter on this 
war, and take meaningful steps to secure a stable peace.
  This amendment calls for a long-term, inclusive peace process and 
strikes a section of the NDAA that would impose unduly onerous 
conditions on troop drawdown, essentially preventing any withdrawal and 
prolonging this endless war. A nearly identical amendment passed the 
House in 2013, 305-121, with overwhelming bipartisan support. That was 
an amendment offered by Congressman Adam Smith (WA), our late colleague 
Walter Jones of North Carolina, and me. If the House so overwhelmingly 
supported a withdrawal of troops in 2013, then why not today?
  According to the ``Costs of War Project at Brown University,'' the 
United States has

[[Page H3335]]

spent nearly $2 trillion on this war. To finance war spending, the 
United States has borrowed heavily and will pay more than $600 billion 
in interest on those loans through 2023. The rest of the debt will take 
years to repay.
  In addition to the more than $2 trillion the U.S. government has 
already spent on the war, debt and medical costs will continue long 
into the future.
  Mr. Speaker, I know that Afghanistan is in the midst of negotiations 
to end this conflict. The withdrawal of U.S. troops is a key element of 
securing that peace. Let us begin today to put that framework in place, 
begin the safe and orderly withdrawal of our troops; and put an end to 
the longest war in U.S. history.
  I urge all my colleagues to support the Omar Amendment No. 5.
  Mr. McCAUL. Mr. Speaker, I agree with Ranking Member Thornberry in 
opposing this irresponsibly unbalanced amendment.
  This text one-sidedly declares it to be the policy of the United 
States to complete the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan by 
April.
  It directs what ``the President shall'' do, but makes no mention of 
the Taliban's obligations that would render any withdrawal more 
advisable or feasible.
  By focusing only on U.S. withdrawal, it re-casts the conditions-based 
U.S.-Taliban agreement as a retreat declaration, rather than a roadmap 
toward peace.
  The reality is that the President has been drawing down U.S. troops 
in Afghanistan.
  But contrary to the aim of this amendment, the President also has and 
needs the authority to maintain a residual force to address potential 
counterterrorism needs and the shifting situation on the ground.
  More importantly, the Taliban must uphold their commitments--starting 
the intra-Afghan dialogue, cutting ties with al Qaeda, securing a 
permanent cease-fire, and preempting threats to U.S. security--or face 
the consequences.
  Those are the real steps needed for securing both a responsible U.S. 
withdrawal and a lasting, inclusive peace for the people of 
Afghanistan.
  Instead of acknowledging that, this political amendment sends the 
wrong message to the Taliban at the wrong time just to provide veto 
bait against a bill critical for U.S. national security.
  U.S. policy should be to urge the Taliban to uphold their 
commitments, not to rashly abandon our Afghan partners to fend for 
themselves against the Taliban and its deplorable record on human 
rights.
  The people of Afghanistan deserve better and as such, I urge a ``no'' 
vote.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 1053, the 
previous question is ordered on the amendment offered by the 
gentlewoman from Minnesota (Ms. Omar).
  The question is on the amendment.
  The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that

                 Amendment No. 6 Offered by Ms. Jayapal

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 
6 printed in House Report 116-457.
  Ms. JAYAPAL. Mr. Speaker, I have an amendment at the desk.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       Strike section 1742 and insert the following new section:

     SEC. 1742. REPEAL OF PROVISIONS RELATING TO UNFUNDED 
                   PRIORITIES.

       (a) The Armed Forces and the Missile Defense Agency.--
     Chapter 9 of title 10, United States Code, is amended as 
     follows:
       (1) Section 222a is repealed.
       (2) Section 222b is repealed.
       (3) In the table of sections at the beginning of the 
     chapter, strike the items relating to sections 222a and 222b.
       (b) Laboratory Military Construction Projects.--Section 
     2806 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
     Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91; 10 U.S.C. 222a note) is 
     repealed.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 1053, the 
gentlewoman from Washington (Ms. Jayapal) and a Member opposed each 
will control 5 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Washington.
  Ms. JAYAPAL. Mr. Speaker, my amendment would repeal the law that 
requires the military to provide an unfunded priorities list to 
Congress along with their budget request each year.
  This year, the Pentagon requested a whopping $740 billion from 
Congress, even more than last year, while other agencies like the State 
Department, the EPA, and the Department of Housing and Urban 
Development were cut by over 15 percent.
  The defense budget eats up over half of our Nation's annual 
discretionary budget, and yet this year Pentagon officials gave Members 
of Congress a wish list of $18 billion in unfunded priorities on top of 
its request for $740 billion in spending.
  Why? Because in 2016, Congress actually passed a law requiring the 
military services and combatant commands to provide annual wish lists 
of weapons systems that the Pentagon couldn't fit into its already 
massive budget.
  No other Federal agency is required by law to provide such wish 
lists, and with good reason. The practice is irresponsible, and it 
undermines the very goals of budgeting.
  So why does it exist? Because it gives special interests and the 
defense contractor industry an opportunity to argue for Congress to 
fund additional, extremely expensive weapons systems not important 
enough to make it into the Pentagon's budget.
  Now, this is a bipartisan concern. You might hear that this is 
something that just Democrats want. No. Lawmakers have long questioned 
the utility of unfunded priority lists. The late Senator John McCain, 
chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said in 2015: 
``Actually, I am not really big on unfunded priority lists. I think 
they're sort of a backdoor way of getting things done.''
  Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates took a step further to ban the 
practice of submitting these lists to Congress during his tenure.
  Senator McCain and Secretary Gates were exactly right. We need to see 
spending discipline and better efficiency within the Pentagon.
  The Department of Defense has now failed two consecutive audits in 2 
years. The Pentagon lost track of $800 million in construction projects 
and $2.1 billion in spare parts for the F-35 program. And it even 
buried an internal study revealing $125 billion in bureaucratic waste 
amid fears that the findings might lead Congress to reconsider the 
massive sum of taxpayer money that goes to the Pentagon each year.
  If a private corporation lost track of hundreds of millions of 
dollars and shielded evidence that it could save billions in wasteful 
spending, its shareholders would find that completely unacceptable, but 
the Defense Department has not undertaken the kind of real reform that 
it needs. In fact, the senior officer the Pentagon appointed just 3 
years ago to reform the Department is now poised to be eliminated 
because she identified too much waste that could be saved.
  Now, the other side might claim that these wish lists are necessary 
for our national security. To that I say, if they are necessary, put 
them in the budget. Put them in the budget. The Pentagon submitted a 
budget for $740 billion. If these programs are so necessary, put them 
in the budget. No budget on top of budgets.
  Additionally, this amendment doesn't preclude our military services 
and combatant commands from sending over wish lists or testifying to 
Congress, but what it does do is end a terrible budgeting practice that 
lines the pockets of a bunch of defense contractor lobbyists at the 
expense of working people. That is unsustainable, and we must rein that 
in.
  Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.

                              {time}  1530

  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to the amendment.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Texas is recognized for 5 
minutes.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself 1\1/2\ minutes.
  Mr. Speaker, I think this amendment reflects a basic understanding of 
why that underlying provision of law is there.
  The Pentagon loves this amendment because they have tried before to 
prevent us from receiving any information about anything that is not in 
their budget request. They want us to rubber-stamp whatever they send 
over and not exercise our independent judgment.
  But the Constitution says it is our responsibility to raise and 
support,

[[Page H3336]]

provide and maintain the military forces of the United States. So, we 
take the Pentagon proposal seriously, but it doesn't mean we rubber-
stamp them.
  We solicit wider amounts of information, and sometimes, we have 
different judgment calls. Looking back over history, our judgment calls 
look pretty good, I would say. Sometimes within the Pentagon, there are 
cultural issues, parochial issues, service rivalries that shape the 
budget that comes to us.
  We, in Congress, need that broader look. We need to hear from the 
combatant commanders what did not make it into the budget because then 
we may have a different judgment call about what should be in the 
budget.
  Those reports help us do our job. That is why it is a matter of law 
that they are sent to us, and that is the reason it makes no sense to 
deny us the information we need to fulfill our responsibilities under 
the Constitution.
  Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. JAYAPAL. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Washington (Mr. Smith), the distinguished chairman of the committee.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, first of all, let me associate 
myself with Ms. Jayapal's remarks. I completely agree with everything 
she said.
  I have an enormous amount of respect for Mr. Thornberry, but I 
disagree with the premise of part of what he said. Part of what he said 
is absolutely right. We should exercise our independent judgment and 
not simply rubber-stamp what the Pentagon asks us for, but I don't see 
how having them give us even more of what they want somehow better 
enables us to exercise our independent judgment.
  It is the Pentagon who is sending us what ``their priorities are.'' I 
think we should be absolutely skeptical of whatever they sent us. But 
to say, ``Look, you get to ask for $740 billion, and then you can ask 
for even more,'' that somehow that makes it easier for us to exercise 
independent judgment, independent of what the Pentagon wants, sort of 
stands logic on its head.
  Make no mistake about it, there is one and only one reason for this 
law. It is because there are some who believe that no matter what you 
spend on the Pentagon and defense spending, you could always spend 
more. They are trying to push us down that road toward more, which is 
wrong because it is a waste. But it is also wrong because it is bad for 
national security.
  We need to make choices, not imagine that the budget is unlimited. 
That is what this does, and it should go away.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Mississippi (Mr. Kelly).
  Mr. KELLY of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, the UFR list does not add any 
additional spending authorizations to the NDAA. Congress has a 
constitutional responsibility to fund the military. These lists provide 
us with insight into senior leader requirements. It allows us to allow 
the combatant commanders, the people down there who are closest to the 
troops, to tell us what they need.
  I am surprised that she is for the current administration, and the 
DOD that is appointed by the current administration, to tell us how we 
need to spend our money in Congress. I am not for that with any 
President.
  We need to do our job as Congress, and we need to listen to the 
people closest to the ground, and it does not add any money to the 
current NDAA process.
  Ms. JAYAPAL. Mr. Speaker, how much time do I have left?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Cuellar). The gentlewoman from 
Washington has 30 seconds remaining.
  Ms. JAYAPAL. Mr. Speaker, I just wanted to say that we are getting 
the priorities from the Pentagon. That is called the budget. That is 
what they are supposed to do. They are supposed to put together their 
priorities and send it to us. So, we are looking at exactly what the 
Pentagon wants.
  We are responding to that by, in this case, putting $740 billion into 
a defense budget. Now, you are going to tell me you need a budget on 
top of the budget. That is bad budgeting, by every stretch of the 
imagination.
  Mr. Speaker, I don't care which President asked for it, it is bad. 
That is why this has always been a bipartisan amendment or a bipartisan 
idea to get rid of this Unfunded Priorities List. It does not do the 
job; it bloats the military budget; and it is unnecessary and 
inefficient and bad spending.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Michigan (Mr. Bergman).
  Mr. BERGMAN. Mr. Speaker, I oppose this amendment.
  The Unfunded Priorities List is critical for services to convey their 
needs to adequately capture emerging requirements.
  The budgets submitted through an annual budgeting process are 
constructed over the course of a year, but combat is a daily evolution. 
Adversaries are really not concerned about our budgeting process.
  As someone who has been responsible for creating a significantly 
broad military budget, I know the challenges in planning for future 
fights while recognizing the fluidity and uncertainty surrounding 
current operations.
  UFRs allow services to convey to Congress which budget sacrifices 
were made and the associated consequences. More importantly, the Armed 
Services Committee rightfully added the Chief of the National Guard 
Bureau to the UFR's list this year. This amendment would strike that 
language and impede the Guard in adjusting for the unexpected.
  Undercutting the National Guard in a year in which they have been 
asked to do so much for our country is not--I repeat not--a wise course 
of action.
  This amendment should not be supported, and I urge my colleagues to 
vote ``no.''
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the 
gentlewoman from Missouri (Mrs. Hartzler).
  Mrs. HARTZLER. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to this misguided 
amendment.
  I am amazed that there are Members of Congress who want to limit the 
amount of information we receive to make important funding decisions 
for our national security.
  Congress has the power of the purse. Congress has the responsibility 
to make the tough funding decisions. In order to do that, we need the 
information available.
  We should not be a rubber stamp for the Pentagon. Contrary to what 
the amendment's sponsor said, unfunded requirements lists do not 
increase the size of the military's budget. We, as Members of Congress, 
must find offsets if we want to fund a requirement on the list.
  For example, in the budget request, the Air Force made significant 
cuts to intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance programs. Almost 
every COCOM unfunded requirements list had ISR capabilities as a 
critical requirement and operational need. This committee, after 
conducting careful oversight, made the decision to restore funding for 
those programs based on the identified needs of our combatant 
commanders.
  We did not pull the money out of thin air. We found places in the 
budget request to cut to support these programs and minimize near-term 
operational risk.
  All this amendment does is limit the information Congress receives 
from the military services, to include the National Guard.
  Mr. Speaker, I strongly encourage Members to oppose this amendment.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 1053, the 
previous question is ordered on the amendment offered by the 
gentlewoman from Washington (Ms. Jayapal).
  The question is on the amendment.
  The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that 
the ayes appeared to have it.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3 of House Resolution 
965, the yeas and nays are ordered.
  Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, further proceedings on this question 
will be postponed.


                 Amendment No. 7 Offered by Ms. DeGette

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. It is now in order to consider amendment No.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 1053, the 
gentlewoman from Colorado (Ms. DeGette) and a Member opposed each will 
control 5 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Colorado.
  Ms. DeGETTE. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself 1\1/2\ minutes.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of my amendment, which would add 
the text of the Protecting America's Wilderness Act to this year's 
NDAA.
  The purpose behind this amendment is simple. It is to protect more of 
America's public lands and to ensure that our Nation's most elite 
military pilots have the opportunity to train for some of the harshest 
environments on the planet.
  This legislation, which has already passed in the House earlier this 
year, would permanently protect more than 1.3 million acres of public 
land across Colorado, California, and Washington. It includes 
Representative Huffman's language to protect lands in northwest 
California; Representative Carbajal, to protect lands in central 
California; and Representative Chu, to expand the San Gabriel Mountains 
National Monument. It includes legislation by Representative Schiff to 
protect lands by the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area 
and legislation by Representative Kilmer to protect lands in Washington 
State's Olympic Peninsula.
  Finally, it includes legislation that I have worked on for over 20 
years to protect more than 600,000 acres in Colorado and to ensure that 
key military areas, like the High Altitude Aviation Training Site, or 
HAATS, is able to continue its mission unencumbered.
  The designations in this amendment are the product of decades of work 
and have garnered widespread support across the West. They are designed 
to help protect these lands from the threat of future development, 
provide a boost to our States' economies, and ensure our military has 
the space it needs to train.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge Members to vote ``yes'' on the amendment, and I 
reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. LAMBORN. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to the amendment.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Colorado is recognized 
for 5 minutes.
  Mr. LAMBORN. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.

[[Page H3362]]

  Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong opposition to this amendment to add a 
package of divisive and unrelated partisan land bills to the NDAA.
  First of all, this amendment has nothing to do with national defense. 
It is a travesty that the majority has jammed these issues together. 
Collectively, this package of ideologically driven bills impacts lands 
in Colorado, California, and Washington by creating about 1.3 million 
acres of new wilderness. But this will greatly reduce opportunities for 
multiple uses on these public lands, limit access to them, and 
significantly reduce the available productive acreage in working 
forests, rendering them more prone to catastrophic wildfires.
  In Colorado alone, this would designate about 570,000 acres of new 
wilderness areas, 23,000 acres of expanded wilderness, and 14,000 areas 
of potential wilderness, whatever ``potential wilderness'' is. This is 
in a State where we have 3\1/2\ million acres of wilderness right now.
  While I commend my colleague from Colorado for her attempts to work 
with local stakeholders to address some of their concerns, none of the 
bills in this package comes close to the type of balance and consensus 
necessary for a bill of this magnitude. Many of the local communities 
impacted by this package have raised significant concerns.
  Now, you know, look, I love public lands, as does the sponsor of this 
legislation. My wife and I hiked a national park in Moab last week. 
While wilderness sounds good to the uninformed, it really means that 
most people will forever lose access to those lands.
  Local communities have many concerns with this bill. At the July 
subcommittee hearing on this bill, we heard testimony from Montezuma 
County Commissioner Keenan Ertel, who shared the county's concern that 
this bill would negatively impact individual landowners, agricultural 
entities, water providers, first responders, and especially the 
recreation and tourism industry. Garfield County has also weighed in 
against this bill because of the increased wildfire risk.
  In addition to the local grievances, the affected Federal land 
management agencies have stated that this bill is inconsistent with 
previous designations and existing land uses because it arbitrarily 
adds wilderness areas and wild and scenic river designations where 
those designations are simply not supported.
  Now, actually, there is one connection to national defense, and that 
is a negative one. By designating the High Altitude Aviation Training 
Site, or HAATS, as being within a wilderness area, it won't be able to 
expand if and when future vertical lift platforms come online. Future 
platforms will fly higher, farther, and faster, and they will need more 
space, and this amendment prevents that.
  Because of all these concerns, the Trump administration rightly 
issued a veto threat against this bill when it first came up to the 
House in February.
  I ask my colleagues to oppose this amendment.
  Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.

                              {time}  1545

  Ms. DeGETTE. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
California (Mr. Huffman), a key sponsor of this amendment.
  Mr. HUFFMAN. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman for yielding.
  My friend across the aisle who is so concerned about not having 
environmental policy in the NDAA certainly showed no concern in prior 
years when bad environmental policy was made against protections for 
prairie chicken and sage-grouse in the NDAA. Today, we can make some 
good environmental policy.
  These bills are familiar to us because they passed with broad 
support; they are well-vetted; and they include my Northwest California 
Wilderness, Recreation, and Working Forests Act, which will protect 
380,000 acres of new wilderness, designate 480 miles of wild scenic 
river, and includes an ambitious restoration plan to improve forest 
health, promote fire resiliency, and expand outdoor recreation.
  These are good bills. They deserve our support.
  Mr. LAMBORN. Mr. Speaker, I would just like to say to my colleague 
from California that at least the sage-grouse amendments in the past 
had something to do with national defense. These were next to military 
areas that impacted readiness. This amendment has nothing to do with 
national defense.
  Mr. Speaker, may I inquire how much time I have remaining.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Colorado has 1\3/4\ 
minutes remaining.
  Mr. LAMBORN. Mr. Speaker, I yield the balance of my time to the 
gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Tipton).
  Mr. TIPTON. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding.
  Mr. Speaker, the amendment today will do exactly the opposite of what 
we are trying to accomplish. This bill is not going to be able to 
strengthen the national defense. My colleague's amendment would 
directly threaten the high altitude military training aviation site 
that is critical to the readiness of our armed services and to the 
national security of the U.S.
  Additionally, it would make the United States even more reliant on 
China for critical strategic minerals.
  Our goals should be to enact policies that will support readiness and 
a sustainable and secure supply chain for critical minerals. This 
amendment is in direct conflict to those goals.
  My district is home to the national-level asset, the High Altitude 
Army National Guard Aviation Training Site, or HAATS. The life-saving 
training acquired at HAATS is vital to the military's success and 
readiness of our Nation.
  My good friend from Colorado's amendment seeks to establish five 
wilderness areas within the HAATS training area either immediately or 
in the future through a new, unprecedented land designation mechanism 
that the sponsor is calling ``potential wilderness.''
  When this legislation was debated before the committee, no one from 
DOD or the National Guard Bureau, let alone the Colorado National 
Guard, was given the chance to testify on the legislation's potential 
effects on readiness. Therefore, it would be completely unacceptable to 
include this legislation in the 2021 National Defense Authorization.
  In addition, this amendment further deepens our Nation's concerning 
dependence on Communist China for critical minerals. The U.S. is 100 
percent import reliant on 14 minerals on the critical minerals list and 
75 percent import reliant on an additional 10.
  This map prepared by U.S. Geological Survey shows the critical 
mineral deposit occurrences in Colorado. The area identified as 
Colorado Mineral Belt, which spans from Boulder down through Gunnison 
County and all the way into the Four Corners area, contains minerals on 
which the U.S. is import reliant.
  I urge opposition to this bill and inclusion into the NDAA.
  Ms. DeGETTE. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
California (Mr. Schiff), another key sponsor of this amendment.
  Mr. SCHIFF. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman from Colorado for 
yielding. I rise in strong support of amendment 659, the Protecting 
America's Wilderness Act. This amendment includes the Rim of the Valley 
Corridor Preservation Act legislation I have been working on for nearly 
20 years.
  I first took up the study bill when George W. Bush was President. We 
got that passed in a Republican House and signed into law. During the 
course of the Obama administration, we got the study funded and 
conducted.
  Thousands and thousands of people commented during the public survey 
period overwhelmingly in favor of the most aggressive option of 
tripling the size of the park. Ultimately, the Park Service recommended 
doubling the acreage in the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation 
Area. This bill would make that law.
  Twenty years is a long enough time to be pursuing this to finally 
bring it to completion. This will help us preserve wildlife corridors, 
rare ecosystems, hiking trails, and recreational opportunities.
  As Los Angeles expands, this proximity to nature is what so many 
people love about it. We love how we have lions roaming our hills. We 
have beautiful bears coming into people's garages to eat Ikea 
meatballs, all possible because we preserve this open space.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge passage.

[[Page H3363]]

  

  Ms. DeGETTE. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from 
California (Ms. Judy Chu), another key sponsor of this amendment.
  Ms. JUDY CHU of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of 
this amendment, which includes the text of my legislation, the San 
Gabriel Mountains Foothills and Rivers Protection Act.
  The San Gabriel Mountains provide 30 percent of southern California's 
water, comprise 70 percent of L.A. County's open space, and are easily 
accessible to more than 15 million Americans. But still, the L.A. 
County region is amongst the most park-poor in the country, with too 
many communities lacking access to outdoor recreation opportunities in 
their own neighborhoods.

  By creating the San Gabriel Mountains national recreation area by 
building on the progress made by the establishment of the San Gabriel 
Mountains National Monument, by designating new wilderness and wild 
rivers, this amendment will provide outdoor recreation opportunities to 
millions, improving their health and well-being.
  I urge my colleagues to join me in strong support of this amendment.
  Ms. DeGETTE. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time.
  Let me just set the record straight. These types of bills have been 
included in the NDAA for generations by Republicans and Democrats. In 
this case, it is particularly urgent because, as I said, and you even 
heard my colleagues on the other side say, HAATS is included. This 
clarifies HAATS laws, and it makes clear that they can be used.
  There is one group of people that is the most important to decide 
about wilderness, and that is the public. Two-thirds of the people on 
the western slope of Colorado want more wilderness. These areas are all 
wilderness study areas now. Let's keep them for future generations.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. LAMBORN. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 1053, the 
previous question is ordered on the amendment offered by the 
gentlewoman from Colorado (Ms. DeGette).
  The question is on the amendment.
  The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that 
the ayes appeared to have it.
  Mr. LAMBORN. Mr. Speaker, I demand the yeas and nays.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3 of House Resolution 
965, the yeas and nays are ordered.
  Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, further proceedings on this question 
are postponed.


                 Amendment No. 8 Offered by Mr. Neguse

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 
8 printed in House Report 116-457.
  Mr. NEGUSE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of the amendment, 
which would amend H.R. 6395.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will designate the amendment.

     SEC. 6405. BOUNDARY SURVEY.

       The Secretary (acting through the Director of the National 
     Park Service) shall prepare a boundary survey and legal 
     description of the National Recreation Area.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 1053, the 
gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Neguse) and a Member opposed each will 
control 5 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Colorado.
  Mr. NEGUSE. Mr. Speaker, as I referenced, I stand today in support of 
this amendment offered by myself and the distinguished chair of the 
House Natural Resources Committee, Chairman Grijalva, which would amend 
H.R. 6395 to add the text of two bills that have already passed this 
Chamber with bipartisan support, H.R. 823, the Colorado Outdoor 
Recreation and Economy Act, or CORE Act, and H.R. 1373, the Grand 
Canyon Centennial Protection Act.
  Both of these bills are imperative, and this amendment would protect 
public lands and preserve our access to clean air and water across the 
State of Colorado and Arizona.
  My bill in particular, the CORE Act, would protect over 400,000 acres 
of public land, including establishing the first-ever national historic 
landscape at Camp Hale. This unprecedented designation speaks to the 
storied legacy of the Army's 10th Mountain Division in Colorado and 
around the world.
  It was in the mountains of Colorado in my district that American 
soldiers received the training that allowed them to defeat Germans in 
the northern Italian Alps, leading our Nation to victory during World 
War II.
  Today, Camp Hale is home to a network of 34 backcountry huts 
connected by 350 miles of trails. Hut visitors share the special spirit 
of the 10th Mountain Division in their pursuit of excellence, self-
reliance, and love of the outdoors.
  A National Historic Landscape designation ensures that future 
generations will be able to learn about the history of the 10th 
Mountain Division, appreciate these sacrifices of our servicemembers, 
and enjoy outdoor recreation opportunities.
  I hope my colleagues will join me in honoring those sacrifices by 
supporting this amendment today.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Arizona (Mr. 
Grijalva).
  Mr. GRIJALVA. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding. I 
appreciate the time and consideration of amendment No. 8, a combination 
of the Grand Canyon Centennial Protection Act and my good friend   Joe 
Neguse's Colorado Outdoor Recreation and Economy Act.
  These bills have already passed the House with bipartisan votes, and 
they deserve a place in this year's National Defense Authorization Act.
  We have worked hard as a committee, as you noticed from the bills 
that were presented today, to try to prioritize conservation and 
climate resiliency and protect some very special landscapes.
  In addition to supporting a multibillion-dollar recreation economy, 
conservation of public land is our first line of defense in responding 
to climate change and, in the question of the Grand Canyon, protecting 
the water supply for 40 million Americans, businesses, and industry.
  In the case of the Grand Canyon, too, ending the toxic legacy of 
uranium mining is truly a matter of life and death. Uranium mines 
across the Southwest pollute our water and endanger our communities and 
our health. Despite constant and empty assurances and promises, 
hundreds of these sites are still waiting to be cleaned up, 
particularly those mines that impact Tribal communities.
  Opponents of this amendment claim that the permanent protections in 
the Grand Canyon will impact our national security. This is a patent 
falsehood and distraction. The Grand Canyon region holds less than 1 
percent of known U.S. uranium reserves, hardly an abundance and hardly 
an amount we cannot find elsewhere.
  The Department of Energy reported to Congress that they have enough 
uranium stockpiled to meet all critical uranium needs, including 
weapons, maintenance, Naval propulsion, and mutual defense obligations, 
through 2060.
  Unfortunately, despite there being no reason to mine the national 
treasure, the temporary protections put in place by the previous 
administration are under attack by this administration and his industry 
cronies. This is not about the bottom line of some foreign mining 
company. This is about American lives, and we should not sacrifice the 
Grand Canyon as expendable or a price of doing business.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge adoption of the amendment.
  Mr. GOSAR. Mr. Speaker, I claim the time in opposition to the 
amendment.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Arizona is recognized for 
5 minutes.
  Mr. GOSAR. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Mr. Speaker, I feel like I am in the movie ``Groundhog Day.'' My 
colleagues on the other side of the aisle are repeating one of their 
famous mantras, ``Not this mine, not this place,'' their standard 
refrain because they do not support any mining anywhere.
  This amendment is nothing short of a full-scale attack on the 
livelihoods of many of my constituents. It sets back our Nation's 
national security and strengthens Putin's Russia. This amendment 
imposes a million-acre land grab permanently banning mining in an area 
nearly the size of Delaware. However, none of this land is in the 
district of the sponsor of this amendment, Mr. Speaker.
  My colleagues falsely frame this amendment as an effort to protect 
the Grand Canyon, which is, of course, completely disingenuous. No one 
wants to mine within the Grand Canyon. This entire area is miles away 
from the boundaries of the buffer around the Grand Canyon National 
Park.

                              {time}  1600

  Bipartisan negotiations led to the Arizona Wilderness Act in 1984, 
which set aside this area for multiple-use activities, including 
mining. It placed 387,000 acres of land into the National Wilderness 
Preservation System in exchange for leaving 540,000 acres for multiple 
use, which now makes up a large portion of this withdrawal.
  Estimates show that the passage of this amendment would cost the six 
directly affected counties in Arizona and Utah between 2,000 and 4,000 
jobs and $29 billion in economic activity. This would completely and 
utterly devastate these rural communities.
  The area in question is home to the highest grade and largest 
quantity of uranium deposits in the country, so this amendment does not 
just negatively affect Arizona, it harms the national security of the 
entire country.
  By passing this amendment, we play right into the hands of Russia, 
who along with Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, are deliberately trying to 
corner the global uranium market. China is also joining in the game, 
buying up uranium mines in Africa.
  Successful uranium mining occurred in the 1980s in this exact area. 
These mines were reclaimed so well that you can't even tell where they 
once existed. And there was no damage done to the Grand Canyon 
watershed--in fact, it may have improved it.
  Mr. Speaker, I think this House is slowly becoming fully aware of the 
problem we face as a nation when it comes to our reliance on foreign 
sources of critical minerals, especially in light of the current 
pandemic. In fact, many Democrats are starting to come to the table to 
work with us to rectify this problem.
  However, there are still many hurdles to cross, like the fact that my 
colleagues continue to try to block mining in northern Arizona, much 
like they do in northern Minnesota and the Resolution Copper Mine in 
the southern part of my district.
  There is no question that this amendment will hurt local revenues, 
kill jobs, and undermine American energy security. It is opposed by the 
people of my district, and, Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join 
me in opposition.
  Mr. Speaker, I include in the Record two letters: one being a veto 
threat from the administration related to the bill form of this 
amendment, H.R. 1373; and the other being a letter from a number of 
industry groups opposing this amendment.

                   Statement of Administration Policy


H.R. 1373--Grand Canyon Centennial Protection Act--Rep. Grijalva, D-AZ, 
                           and 122 cosponsors

       The Administration strongly opposes H.R. 1373, the Grand 
     Canyon Centennial Protection Act. This bill would permanently 
     make more than 1 million acres of Federal lands in Arizona 
     off limits to development and uses that would otherwise be 
     permissible under Federal laws governing public lands, 
     mining, mineral, and geothermal leasing. The Administration 
     opposes such a large, permanent withdrawal, which would 
     prohibit environmentally responsible development, as 
     determined through site-specific analysis, of uranium and 
     other mineral resources.
       The United States has an extraordinary abundance of mineral 
     resources, both onshore and offshore, but this legislation 
     would restrict our ability to access critical minerals like 
     uranium in an area known to have them in large supply. 
     Moreover, the size of the withdrawal included in H.R. 1373 is 
     inconsistent with the Administration's goal of striking the 
     appropriate balance for use of public lands described in two 
     executive orders. This withdrawal would conflict with the 
     objectives set forth in Executive Order 13783, Promoting 
     Energy Independence and Economic Growth, and Executive Order 
     13817, A Federal Strategy to Ensure Secure and Reliable 
     Supplies of Critical Minerals. Development of our Nation's 
     mineral resources is essential to ensuring the Nation's 
     geopolitical security, and this bill would not help us 
     achieve that goal.
       If H.R. 1373 were presented to the President, his advisors 
     would recommend that he veto it.
                                  ____

                                                 October 29, 2019.
     Hon. Raul Grijalva,
     Chairman, House Natural Resources Committee, Washington, DC.
     Hon. Rob Bishop,
     Ranking Member, House Natural Resources Committee, 
         Washington, DC.
       Dear Chairman Grijalva and Ranking Member Bishop: The 
     signatories to this letter urge you to vote in opposition to 
     the ``Grand Canyon Centennial Protection Act'' (H.R. 1373), 
     an act that fails to acknowledge our nation's alarming 
     reliance on foreign sources of minerals and would further 
     weaken the already vulnerable supply chains for key U.S. 
     industry sectors, including manufacturing, infrastructure, 
     energy and defense.
       Federal lands--predominantly in the western U.S.--are the 
     source of much of our nation's mineral endowment. Of these 
     federal lands, half are either off limits or under 
     restrictions to mineral development. While mining is 
     certainly not appropriate on all federal lands, maintaining 
     responsible access to the very resources that drive 
     innovation, feed economic growth and improve our nation's 
     quality of life is essential. Given the vast amount of 
     federal lands already closed to mining operations, caution 
     should be exercised when determining whether additional lands 
     should be placed off limits.
       H.R. 1373 targets over a million acres of mineral rich 
     lands, including world-class uranium ore deposits that are 
     located well beyond the boundaries of the Grand Canyon 
     National Park. The park as created already includes a built-
     in buffer zone to protect park resources from activities 
     taking place outside the park boundaries and an additional 
     million-acre buffer zone is not justified. H.R. 1373 
     deliberately disregards our dangerous dependence on countries 
     like Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Niger to meet our 
     nation's need for uranium to fuel our nuclear Navy and supply 
     20 percent of our nation's electricity.
       Furthermore, H.R. 1373 ignores not only the comprehensive 
     framework of federal, state and local environmental 
     regulations that govern every aspect of mining but the 
     findings of the Department of the Interior that the park was 
     not at risk from mining given these existing protections. 
     This unwise and unwarranted mineral withdrawal is bad public 
     policy that ignores the vast sectors of our economy that 
     depend upon a reliable and secure supply chain of minerals 
     and metals. Access to our nation's vast and diverse resources 
     and fair regulatory policies that promote certainty in the 
     mine permitting process are the elements of sound public 
     policy that should be considered when addressing resource 
     development on federal lands. We urge you to vote against 
     this misguided bill and support policies that promote 
     responsible resource development.
           Sincerely,
     American Exploration & Mining Association.
     Arizona Chamber of Commerce & Industry.
     Arizona Mining Association.
     National Mining Association.
     Wyoming Mining Association.
  Mr. GOSAR. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman from 
Colorado (Mr. Tipton).
  Mr. TIPTON. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman, my colleague, for 
yielding.
  Mr. Speaker, I strongly oppose the amendment from my good friend from 
Colorado.
  Like amendments that have come before this, this amendment will do 
the exact opposite of what we are trying to be able to accomplish here 
today, which is develop a bill to support and strengthen the national 
defense.
  My colleague's amendment has the potential to threaten high-altitude 
military aviation training that is critical to the readiness of our 
armed services and to the national security interests of the U.S. 
Additionally, it would make the United States even more reliant on 
China for critical and strategic minerals.
  Our goal is to be able to enact policies that support readiness and 
sustainable and secure supply chains for critical minerals. This 
amendment is in direct conflict with those goals.
  High-altitude military aviation training is critical to the readiness 
of our armed services and to the national security of the United 
States.
  My colleagues have stated that they want to be able to safeguard 
HAATS. In my conversations with DOD, it said it would look forward to 
DOD flight guidance with regards to how to operate under the language. 
And while I appreciate DOD's guidance, we all know too well that 
regulatory changes do not provide certainty. That is why I have 
submitted an amendment to codify the safe transit exception for 
military aircraft flying over the wilderness areas and mountain 
regions. Unfortunately, my friends in the majority did not rule that 
amendment in order, and we will not have the opportunity to be able to 
vote on safe transit.
  We need to be focusing on the security of the United States not only 
in terms of critical minerals, but also making sure that our military 
has the appropriate tools to be able to carry out their missions safely 
in terms of the guidance that we are providing. This amendment does not 
achieve that goal. It will not help support the NDAA.
  Mr. GOSAR. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. NEGUSE. Mr. Speaker, I inquire as to how much time remains.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Colorado has 1\1/2\ 
minutes remaining.
  Mr. NEGUSE. Mr. Speaker, while I disagree with my colleague, Mr. 
Tipton, on this particular issue, I do appreciate his friendship and 
his service to the House for many years.
  I would just offer three closing arguments.
  First, for those who argue that these public land measures should not 
be attached to the NDAA, there is certainly precedent for these type of 
provisions to be included in the NDAA. In fact, the Hermosa Creek 
Watershed Protection Act by my colleague from Colorado, my good friend, 
was signed into law as a provision of the 2015 NDAA in the 113th 
Congress under a Republican-controlled House. So there is ample 
precedent.
  With respect to the HAATS issue, I would simply note that, in 
December of last year, the Department of Defense sent a letter to my 
Senate companion sponsor, Senator Michael Bennet, informing him that 
the Department had determined that:

       The land management designation in H.R. 823, the CORE Act, 
     should not affect current or future military overflight in 
     Colorado.

  Mr. Speaker, these bills have nothing to do with China or Kazakhstan 
and everything to do with protecting crown jewels here in the United 
States of America, the Grand Canyon and hundreds of thousands of acres 
of wilderness in my home State of Colorado.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support these important public 
land designations and support the amendment being considered by the 
House.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. GOSAR. Mr. Speaker, once again, this is about the management of 
the land. As we stated earlier, the buffer around the Grand Canyon, 
this is miles away from this.
  And this is about national security. Critical minerals, uranium, they 
are very important to the makeup of this country and its energy sector. 
We cannot be reliant, and we saw that all too easily displayed in this 
COVID crisis. We have to be the purveyors of our future.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask everybody to vote against this amendment, and I 
yield back the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 1053, the 
previous question is ordered on the

[[Page H3374]]

amendment offered by the gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Neguse).
  The question is on the amendment.
  The question was taken, and the Speaker pro tempore announced that 
the ayes appeared to have it.
  Mr. GOSAR. Mr. Speaker, I demand the yeas and nays.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3 of House Resolution 
965, the yeas and nays are ordered.
  Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, further proceedings on this question 
are postponed.


                  Amendment No. 9 Offered by Mr. Pocan

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 
9 printed in House Report 116-457.
  Mr. POCAN. Mr. Speaker, I have an amendment at the desk.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

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

     SEC. 10__. REDUCTION IN AMOUNT AUTHORIZED TO BE APPROPRIATED 
                   FOR FISCAL YEAR 2021 BY THIS ACT.

       (a) In General.--The amount authorized to be appropriated 
     for fiscal year 2021 by this Act is the aggregate amount 
     authorized to be appropriated for fiscal year 2021 by this 
     Act minus the amount equal to 10 percent of the aggregate 
     amount.
       (b) Allocation.--The reduction made by subsection (a) shall 
     apply on a pro rata basis among the accounts and funds for 
     which amounts are authorized to be appropriated by this Act 
     (other than the Defense Health Program, military personnel, 
     and persons appointed into the civil service as defined in 
     section 2101 of title 5, United States Code), and shall be 
     applied on a pro rata basis across each program, project, and 
     activity funded by the account or fund concerned.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 1053, the 
gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Pocan) and a Member opposed each will 
control 5 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Wisconsin.
  Mr. POCAN. Mr. Speaker, if you ask just about anyone, ``What is 
America's greatest threat?'' the answer isn't going to be another 
country or a political ideology. It is going to be a disease: COVID-19.
  And with that answer, people will mention the need of help for the 
jobless, the threat to small businesses, problems paying their rent or 
mortgage, and the need for healthcare.
  What you won't hear will be the need for a Space Force or more nukes 
or an overseas slush fund for the Pentagon. You certainly won't hear 
about the need for more cost overruns or fraud and abuse from defense 
contractors.
  But that is exactly what we have. We have increased our military 
spending almost 20 percent in the last 4 years at a time of relative 
peace, but we have not kept up with our needs like healthcare, 
education, and, of course, fighting the coronavirus, yet we spend 90 
times more on defense than we do the Centers for Disease Control.
  $740 billion for the Pentagon is a lot of money, and too much of it 
gets wasted on fraud, cost overruns, and outside contractors. We are 
literally flushing money down the drain, and I mean literally.
  Due to a design flaw in the new $13 billion Ford-class aircraft 
carrier, we are spending $400,000 on specialized acids every time we 
have to flush and unclog the toilets. I am not making this up.
  Almost every major defense contractor has had to pay fines or 
settlements for fraud or misconduct, all while getting about $1 
trillion in defense contracts.
  We have spent billions on an amphibious vehicle that sinks due to its 
own weight, and don't even mention the $10,000 toilet seat covers.
  If we cut the defense budget just 10 percent but not our troops, we 
free up $74 billion to fight global pandemics like COVID-19 and much 
more.
  We need to treat the Pentagon like every other department, and that 
means with fiscal responsibility. We do that today by trimming 10 
percent, $74 billion, to be used, instead, on behalf of the American 
people, not bloated defense contracts.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge support of my amendment, and I reserve the 
balance of my time.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, I claim the time in opposition to the 
amendment.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Texas is recognized for 5 
minutes.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from 
Wyoming (Ms. Cheney).
  Ms. CHENEY. Mr. Speaker, this amendment is a deeply irresponsible 
stunt that would have great implications for our national security. It 
would return us to days even worse than the days of sequester, a time 
in which Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis said:

       No foe in the field has done more damage to the U.S. Armed 
     Forces than the United States Congress has because of 
     arbitrary across-the-board cuts.

  We would, with this amendment, undermine near-term lethality and the 
readiness of our troops on air, on land, and at sea.
  We are asking our men and women to go into harm's way to defend all 
of us, and we must always do that ensuring that they have the absolute 
best equipment and resources necessary.
  This amendment is a stunt, Mr. Speaker. It would be dangerous. We 
have to ensure that the United States of America maintains a military 
force that is second to none.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to defeat this irresponsible and 
reckless amendment.
  Mr. POCAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1\3/4\ minutes to the gentlewoman 
from California (Ms. Lee), my distinguished colleague and colead on 
this amendment, and a strong voice for peace and justice.
  Ms. LEE of California. Mr. Speaker, I thank Congressman Pocan for 
yielding and for his tremendous, bold, and visionary leadership.
  As we stand here today, 142,000 people in America are dead from COVID 
and millions have suffered from the disease or the economic dislocation 
which it has caused.
  The Federal response has been weak, it has been late, and it has been 
confused. Meanwhile, this House stands poised to pour three-quarters of 
a trillion dollars into a defense establishment that is unauditable, 
unaccountable, and does little to answer the basic threats to the 
safety and welfare of our people.
  The Pentagon is the only Federal department that has never passed an 
audit, despite this requirement being on the books for 30 years.
  It is not hard to find places to cut this budget. The Pentagon could 
save almost $58 billion just by eliminating obsolete weapons, weapons 
like Cold War-era bombers and missiles designed and built in the last 
century that are totally unsuitable for the challenges of this century.
  We could find another $18 billion simply by preventing the end-of-
year spending sprees that lead to contract money being shoveled out the 
door in September. Congressional Research Service documented these 
spending spikes occurring each September as offices at the Pentagon go 
on a last-minute spending spree to justify their next-year budget 
increases.
  We see the tremendous costs of this runaway spending not only in 
missing priorities like public health that are left underfunded, but in 
a way of thinking that militarizes every problem in our society and 
turns peaceful protestors into targets for weapons of war.
  Enough. It is time for us to stand up against this madness.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentlewoman has expired.
  Mr. POCAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield an additional 10 seconds to the 
gentlewoman.
  Ms. LEE of California. Mr. Speaker, let me just close by saying these 
are modest cuts. They won't compromise our national security and won't 
take dollars from our troops, but it will allow us to reinvest in 
healthcare, schools, and infrastructure. This amendment will be a first 
step in rebalancing our priorities to build a safe, peaceful, 
prosperous world at home and abroad.

  Mr. Speaker, I urge a ``yes'' vote.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Ohio (Mr. Turner).
  Mr. TURNER. Mr. Speaker, let's just be honest. This amendment does 
not do anything for funding for COVID or funding for healthcare. This 
is, straight and simple, defund DOD, and that is it.
  We have just come off of sequestration where we saw our planes 
falling out of the sky during training, where we saw our men and women 
in uniform

[[Page H3375]]

working in buildings that we couldn't even repair. At my own base, 
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, they didn't even have enough money to 
turn the lights on in buildings that people were working in.
  This is not sequestration. This is like sequestration on steroids. 
This would be the biggest cut, much more than sequestration ever had.
  It actually works out to about a 16 percent cut, not 10 percent, 
because of the things that are exempted. So the money doesn't go where 
the author says it is going to go to.
  It does hurt our national security, and it does hurt our men and 
women in uniform. It cuts military housing; it cuts education; it cuts 
military family programs; it cuts research and development; but, most 
importantly, it cuts training. It goes right to the heart of making it 
unsafe once again for our men and women in uniform just to keep our 
country safe.
  This isn't money down the drain. This is money every day that keeps 
us at peace.

                              {time}  1615

  Mr. POCAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from 
Washington (Ms. Jayapal), the co-chair of the CPC, and my good friend.
  Ms. JAYAPAL. Mr. Speaker, I stand in strong support of this amendment 
by my fantastic co-chair, Mr. Pocan, and Ms. Lee.
  This is critical for us to just do this small step of cutting 10 
percent of our Pentagon budget.
  Enough is enough. This year's defense budget is 90 times bigger than 
the budget for the Centers for Disease Control. Yet, we are nearing 4 
million COVID cases and over 141,000 deaths, and this President wants 
to add money for defense spending while cutting money for testing. That 
is just wrong.
  It is a small amount, but it is a start. That $74 billion could mean 
childcare for every family. It could mean housing vouchers for every 
eligible family. It could mean a $23,000 raise for every public-school 
teacher.
  So many things that we could do with this money--what we cannot do is 
give it away to corrupt defense contractors.
  Pass this amendment. Reset our priorities. It is time.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the distinguished 
gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Wittman).
  Mr. WITTMAN. Mr. Speaker, I am in opposition to this amendment 
because it actually creates a structural imbalance, or a structural 
deficit, in what we have been doing the last 5 years to rebuild our 
military, to regain that lost readiness.
  If you exempt personnel accounts and health plans, this actually 
turns out to be a 16 percent reduction. Let me tell you the things that 
this 16 percent reduction will result in.
  You will have family housing benefits for military members that go 
out the window. We won't be supporting their families.
  It will make existing base housing agreements insolvent, so what we 
do to help house our men and women in the military and their families 
goes out the window. Basic family safety nets for children, suicide 
prevention, and family support, out the window. So much for supporting 
our brave men and women who serve this Nation.
  Servicemembers on-base food support, so much for helping them through 
these challenging times and making sure that their basic needs are met.
  It creates a hollow force. Remember, what we do in investing in our 
military is to build the ability for our Nation to deter our 
adversaries. We have seen, historically, when there is an imbalance in 
powers between near-peer adversaries, what happens? We find ourselves 
in conflict.
  Why would we want to send a message to the rest of the world that we 
are going to purposely weaken our United States military, that we are 
going to put our Nation in a position not to be able to defend 
ourselves and to deter others from perpetrating their violence across 
the world?
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, has all the gentleman from Wisconsin's 
time been used?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Wisconsin's time has 
expired. The gentleman from Texas has 2 minutes remaining.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, the underlying bill, as Chairman Smith 
pointed out a few moments ago, is consistent with the 2-year budget 
agreement, which was made last year.
  It turns out, many of the sponsors of this amendment voted for that 
2-year budget agreement. But this year, they only want to cut defense.
  As my colleagues have pointed out, some accounts are exempt, and that 
means the real cut is not 10 percent. It is 16 percent. That 16 percent 
cut would have a severe effect on modernization; on the research we 
need to do to catch up, in many cases, with Russia and China; and 
especially on maintenance.
  This House has been a leader in restoring our readiness and 
maintaining our planes, ships, and equipment. This takes us back the 
other way. In other words, this amendment may well cost lives.
  As several of my colleagues have mentioned, while it exempts some 
accounts dealing with our people, other accounts are not exempt. So, 
this amendment results in a $216 million cut to military housing; a 
$470 million cut to the Department of Defense dependent education 
program; a $184 million cut to commissaries; $900 million to defense 
nuclear environmental cleanup, including a $145 million cut to the 
Hanford site.
  But underneath it all, there is a fundamental flaw in this amendment. 
It says that we can cut defense without consequences. It is kind of 
like we can hide our head under the covers, cut defense, and assume 
that the threats are just going to go away. But they don't.
  Those who don't share our values will step into the void. The world 
will grow more dangerous, and Americans and America's national security 
will suffer as a result. That is the fact.
  History proves, time and time again, weakness begat aggression. That 
is what this bill tries to avoid, and I hope that, on a bipartisan 
basis, Members will reject this amendment.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 1053, the 
previous question is ordered on the amendment offered by the gentleman 
from Wisconsin (Mr. Pocan).
  The question is on the amendment.
  The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that 
the ayes appeared to have it.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3 of House Resolution 
965, the yeas and nays are ordered.
  Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, further proceedings on this question 
will be postponed.

     19 National Emergency.--
       (1) Student loan relief as a result of the covid-19 
     national emergency.--The Secretary of the Treasury shall 
     carry out a program under which the Secretary shall make 
     payments, on behalf of a covered borrower, with respect to 
     the private education loans of such borrower.
       (2) Payment amount.--Payments made under paragraph (1) with 
     respect to a covered borrower shall be in an amount equal to 
     the lesser of--
       (A) the total amount of each private education loan of the 
     borrower; or
       (B) $10,000.
       (3) Notification of borrowers.--Not later than 15 days 
     following the date of enactment of this subsection, the 
     Secretary shall notify each covered borrower of--
       (A) the requirements to make payments under this section; 
     and
       (B) the opportunity for such borrower to make an election 
     under paragraph (4)(A) with respect to the application of 
     such payments to the private education loans of such 
     borrower.
       (4) Distribution of funding.--
       (A) Election by borrower.--Not later than 45 days after a 
     notice is sent under paragraph (3), a covered borrower may 
     elect to apply the payments made under this subsection with 
     respect to such borrower under paragraph (1) to any private 
     education loan of the borrower.

[[Page H3376]]

       (B) Automatic payment.--
       (i) In general.--In the case of a covered borrower who does 
     not make an election under subparagraph (A) before the date 
     described in such subparagraph, the Secretary shall apply the 
     amount determined with respect to such borrower under 
     paragraph (1) in order of the private education loan of the 
     borrower with the highest interest rate.
       (ii) Equal interest rates.--In case of two or more private 
     education loans described in clause (i) with equal interest 
     rates, the Secretary shall apply the amount determined with 
     respect to such borrower under paragraph (1) first to the 
     loan with the highest principal.
       (5) Data to implement.--Holders and servicers of private 
     education loans made to covered borrowers shall report, to 
     the satisfaction of the Secretary, the information necessary 
     to calculate the amount to be paid under this subsection.
       (6) Ratable reduction.--To the extent that amounts 
     appropriated to carry out this section are insufficient to 
     fully comply with the payments required under paragraph (2), 
     the Secretary shall distribute available funds by ratably 
     reducing the amounts required to be paid under such 
     paragraph.
       (b) Additional Protections for Covered Borrowers.--
       (1) Loan modification after payment.--Each private 
     education loan holder who receives a payment pursuant to

     private education loan after the receipt of such payment (and 
     taking into account any suspension of payments that may be 
     required under any other provision of law), modify the loan, 
     based on the payment made under subsection (a), to lower 
     monthly payments due on the loan. Such modification may take 
     the form of a re-amortization, a lowering of the applicable 
     interest rate, or any other modification that would lower 
     such payments.
       (2) Repayment plan and forgiveness terms.--Each private 
     education loan holder who receives a payment pursuant to 
     subsection (a) shall modify all private education loan

     provide for the same repayment plan and forgiveness terms 
     available to Direct Loans borrowers under section 685.209(c) 
     of title 34, Code of Federal Regulations, in effect as of 
     January 1, 2020.
       (3) Treatment of state statutes of limitation.--For a 
     covered borrower who has defaulted on a private education 
     loan under the terms of the promissory note prior to any loan 
     payment made under subsection (a), no payment made under such 
     subsection shall be considered an event that impacts the 
     calculation of the applicable State statutes of limitation.
       (4) Prohibition on pressuring borrowers.--
       (A) In general.--A private education loan debt collector or 
     creditor may not pressure a covered borrower to elect to 
     apply any amount received pursuant to subsection (a) to any 
     private education loan.
       (B) Violations.--A violation of this paragraph is deemed--

     (12 U.S.C. 5531); and
       (ii) with respect to a violation by a debt collector, an 
     unfair or unconscionable means to collect or attempt to 
     collect any debt under section 808 of the Federal Debt

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 1053, the 
gentlewoman from Pennsylvania (Ms. Dean) and a Member opposed each will 
control 5 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Pennsylvania.
  Ms. DEAN. Mr. Speaker, I thank the chairman and all the members of 
the committee for their fine work in the proposed legislation.
  I rise today in support of my amendment, No. 11, to H.R. 6395. This 
amendment would provide much-needed assistance to roughly 6 million 
private student loan borrowers by authorizing appropriations of up to 
$10,000 per borrower to pay down their student loan debt.
  Additionally, this amendment would require private student loan 
servicers to modify the loan to lower the monthly payments by re-
amortizing the loan and/or lowering the interest rate when the borrower 
resumes payment.
  This is a commonsense requirement that helps both the borrowers and 
the servicers, who will receive a lump sum payment and should, 
therefore, make sure that subsequent payments by borrowers are 
affordable and sustainable.
  Private student loan borrowers did not receive any of the reprieve 
that the Federal student loan borrowers were able to access through the 
CARES Act. This means that roughly 6 million private student loan 
borrowers have had to continue to make payments during an unprecedented 
health and economic crisis, hurting not only their economic health but 
our country's, too.
  We know the private student loan borrowers are particularly 
vulnerable. Prior to the pandemic, one in seven student loan borrowers 
were more than 90 days delinquent.
  COVID-19 has only exacerbated this problem. According to the Student 
Borrower Protection Center, the number of private student loan 
borrowers unable to make payment obligations between January and April 
of this year increased by 36 percent.
  This amendment would rectify the inequity we created in not including 
private student loan borrowers and bring them much-needed assistance, 
just as this body did with Federal student loan borrowers.
  Importantly, this amendment will help our veterans, who take out an 
average of $8,000 in private student loan debt to attend for-profit 
schools each year, and for the estimated 200,000 servicemembers who 
collectively owe billions in student loan debt. While many were able to 
access relief for Federal funds, these borrowers were not. They are 
languishing from the burden of private student loans.
  This amendment is good for our borrowers, good for our economy, good 
for our veterans. I urge Members to support this amendment.
  Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. LUETKEMEYER. Mr. Speaker, I claim time in opposition. I am 
opposed to the amendment.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Missouri is recognized 
for 5 minutes.
  Mr. LUETKEMEYER. Mr. Speaker, this amendment is an attempt by the 
Democrats to rewrite private contracts and put private lenders out of 
business, accomplishing their goal of socializing all student loan 
debt.
  This amendment authorizes between $45 and $50 billion of taxpayer 
dollars to cancel or substantially lower private student loans. But it 
does not require that a student borrower demonstrate a financial need 
for such support, and the amendment does not credit students that have 
already paid off their student loans as required. It picks winners and 
losers at taxpayer expense.
  The amendment directs Treasury to provide up to $10,000 for every 
single private borrower to be used toward private education loans, even 
if there is no demonstrated financial need for support. It wrongly 
assumes all private student loan borrowers have been impacted by COVID-
19 and creates a situation that is ripe for waste, fraud, and abuse.
  Every Member of Congress recognizes that student debt is an issue 
that must be tackled. However, what is often not mentioned is that the 
Federal Government is the largest consumer lender, owning or 
guaranteeing $1.4 trillion out of a total of $1.5 trillion in student 
debt.
  In 2010, Democrats largely nationalized student debt by eliminating 
the Federal Family Education Loan Program, where private lenders made 
federally guaranteed student loans to parents and students. Now, the 
Department of Education and the Direct Loan Program is basically the 
only option in the student loan market.
  Private student loans make up less than 8 percent of all outstanding 
loans, and because student education loans are subject to strong 
underwriting standards, those loans from the private sector have a 
default rate of less than 3 percent, compared to 18 percent in the 
Federal loan program.
  I realize that the amendment is attempting to force regulators to 
work with the borrowers, but private education lenders already have the 
flexibility to work with borrowers to make accommodations, including 
under the

[[Page H3377]]

pandemic-related guidance provided by the Federal financial regulators.
  When the Federal Government, led by congressional Democrats, took 
over the student loan market, costs skyrocketed. This amendment 
continues the Democrats' government takeover of the student loan 
industry, only making the crisis worse.
  Democrats continue to push their socialist wish list, rather than 
providing targeted relief for those most in need.
  If this program was such a big priority for Democrats, you would 
think they would fund it, but they didn't fund it in the FY21 
appropriations bill, even though they added $250 billion of new 
emergency spending.
  I am disappointed to see Democrats pandering to the students for 
election-year gains, rather than tackling the important issue of 
college affordability.
  I would also like to point out that this amendment has no place in 
the NDAA. A defense authorization bill should be focused on national 
security, the defense and the industrial base, troop levels and 
readiness, and the health and safety of our men and women in uniform, 
not student debt.
  Mr. Speaker, I include in the Record the following documents.
  The first is a July 15, 2020, letter from the Consumer Bankers 
Association to Rules Committee Chairman McGovern, requesting that the 
Dean amendment not be made in order in H.R. 6395.
  The second is a document compiled by the Consumer Bankers Association 
summarizing the steps taken by private student loan lenders to help 
their customers, as of June 30, 2020.


                                 Consumer Bankers Association,

                                    Washington, DC, July 15, 2020.
     Hon. Jim McGovern,
     Chairman, Committee on Rules,
     House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
       Dear Chairman McGovern: On behalf of the Education Funding 
     Committee of the Consumer Bankers Association (CBA), we ask 
     that you oppose making in order Amendment 283 proposed by 
     Representative Dean to H.R. 6395, the William M. (Mac) 
     Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for 
     Fiscal Year 2021. This amendment to the CARES Act would make 
     major changes that would significantly impair the entire 
     private student loan market. It is clearly not related to 
     national defense programs and is not germane to the NDAA. The 
     proposal in modified form was considered and included in the 
     HEROES Act, H.R. 6800, as part of measures recommended by the 
     Financial Services Committee. In short, this amendment does 
     not belong in the NDAA.
       The procedural and jurisdictional questions aside, the text 
     of the Dean Amendment 283 was considered and rejected in its 
     current form as part of the HEROES Act. We would like to 
     point out what we believe are serious flaws in the proposal.
       First, I wish to note that the members of CBA appreciate 
     the accomplishments of this Congress in passing bi-partisan 
     legislation providing help to Americans suffering from the 
     health and economic effects of the COVID-19 Coronavirus, 
     including passage of the Coronavirus Aid, Response, and 
     Economic Security (CARES) Act.
       Our members are doing their part with diligence and 
     compassion to help their customers who are impacted by the 
     effects of the pandemic. This includes major steps to assist 
     private student loan borrowers, with thousands helped to 
     date. However, we are concerned that the provisions of this 
     section would, if enacted, dramatically hinder our members' 
     ability to provide financing to our nation's students in the 
     future.
       CBA is the voice of the retail banking industry whose 
     members operate in all 50 states, serve more than 150 million 
     Americans, and collectively hold two-thirds of the country's 
     total depository assets. CBA members are also the private 
     sector lenders that make the majority of private education 
     loans to help families finance a postsecondary education. At 
     this time of extreme uncertainty, our banks remain in strong 
     financial condition and are stepping up to serve the needs of 
     customers and employees.
       The CBA Education Funding Committee includes the banks that 
     make most private student loans in order to help American 
     students finance their education. That process has been going 
     extraordinarily well for years, with the vast majority--98 
     percent--of borrowers successfully repaying their private 
     student loans. Our members are working with current students 
     and their families, many of whom have seen their educations 
     interrupted or transformed due to the pandemic. There is a 
     great deal of uncertainty as to when normal educational 
     processes can resume. Because of that uncertainty, we are 
     working closely with our customers to make sure they will 
     have the financing they need to start or continue their 
     higher educations.
       Meanwhile, for borrowers who are in repayment on their 
     student loans, CBA member banks continue to offer many 
     options tailored to their needs to make sure they can get 
     through this period of tremendous uncertainty and turmoil. 
     Our members are offering special terms, including allowing 
     expanded forbearance--stopping loan repayment--and other 
     options that meet the needs of borrowers and co-signers. We 
     are also allowing borrowers more time to make decisions about 
     whether to borrow and how much, realizing that families need 
     to evaluate changing economic and individual family 
     conditions.
       In sum, CBA member banks are doing their best to help our 
     customers through the crisis and emerge with their 
     educational plans intact and their financial situations 
     manageable. Banks are working, as they must, with prudential 
     regulators, including the Consumer Financial Protection 
     Bureau, Federal Reserve, Office of the Comptroller of the 
     Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, as 
     well as state regulatory agencies, on allowable steps that 
     can be taken to help borrowers now.
       Given the steps being taken by the private sector, we wish 
     to alert you to the fact that some of the proposals contained 
     in the Dean Amendment number 283 would significantly disrupt 
     the private student loan market. We have offered to work with 
     all interested Members on substitute legislation that would 
     help student loan borrowers and avoid steps that will make it 
     impossible for banks and other private lenders to offer their 
     customers the private loan options they can access today. 
     Such proposals should be considered as part of COVID-19 
     relief legislation, not as part of the NDAA.
       The Dean amendment would have the Secretary of the Treasury 
     make monthly payments for private education loan borrowers 
     totalling up to $10,000 until September 30, 2021. This step 
     would require extensive, complex coordination and across-the-
     board servicing system changes at a time when financial 
     institutions, like other parts of the economy, are coping 
     with workplace challenges. However, CBA members would work 
     with their customers and the Treasury Department to implement 
     such a policy, should Congress decide to proceed, through an 
     appropriate legislative vehicle, and set up a process for the 
     payments to be made by the government to lenders on behalf of 
     borrowers.
       The amendment in the fall of 2021 would give all private 
     student loan borrowers $10,000, less payments previously made 
     on their behalf. CBA is concerned that a lump sum payment 
     made more than a year from now will have little impact on 
     helping our country recover from the emergency. Moreover, 
     this minimum amount provision is untargeted since it would be 
     made after the emergency period and without regard to whether 
     the borrower is actually experiencing any repayment 
     difficulty. Therefore, we believe any relief should be 
     tailored to the government making monthly payments for those 
     in need during the emergency period. We agree that any such 
     payments made on behalf of a borrower should not be counted 
     as income for tax purposes.
       Most importantly, the amendment includes an unworkable 
     provision that would require private lenders to change 
     millions of contracts with borrowers to include the Revised 
     Pay As You Earn option that the federal government offers 
     some federal loan borrowers. This proposal would require 
     private lenders to offer the same income derived repayment 
     (IDR) plans, including forgiveness after 20 years of payments 
     for undergraduates or 25 years for loans for graduate 
     studies, as are offered by the Department of Education. While 
     an IDR/loan forgiveness program is an appropriate safety net 
     for loans without any meaningful upfront consumer 
     protections, it is not suited to private loans made with the 
     most critical upfront consumer protection: evaluation of 
     ability to repay.
       The federal government currently dominates student lending, 
     originating 92 percent of new loans made each year. These 
     loans provide access to higher education, but because there 
     is no consideration of ability to repay or credit 
     underwriting, they put some students into excessive 
     indebtedness with unaffordable monthly payments.
       Private loans play an important role in providing access to 
     higher education, typically supplementing federal aid and 
     always involving a careful assessment of credit capacity and 
     ability to pay. That is why 98 percent of private loans are 
     being successfully repaid, while a quarter of federal loan 
     borrowers are not making any progress towards reducing their 
     loan balance. We strongly oppose applying repayment policies 
     that may address over-lending of federal loans but that are 
     not anchored to safety and soundness principles that 
     consistently assure responsibly underwritten private loans 
     that are being successfully repaid.
       Importantly, private loan lenders, working closely with 
     their prudential regulators, have developed well-targeted 
     repayment relief options that effectively assist customers 
     experiencing repayment difficulty. Private loan lenders 
     provide short- and long-term forbearances, as well as loan 
     modifications that lead to affordable loan payments. These 
     solutions appropriately balance consumer protection and 
     safety/soundness principles in support of customer repayment 
     success. In this respect, the proposal to require a well-
     functioning private loan market to function like the vastly 
     different federal loan market is nothing more than a solution 
     in search of a problem.
       The government keeps non-performing loans--millions of 
     them--on its books for decades before giving up on 
     collection. Banks that engage in such practices would be 
     quickly ordered to stop by their federal

[[Page H3378]]

     regulators and would likely face sanctions. If a loan isn't 
     being repaid, banks must account for it on their balance 
     sheets. Under federal IDR rules, a borrower can make no 
     payments but still be considered current, with their loan 
     cancelled after 20 or 25 years. That is not possible for any 
     private lender under the sensible safety and soundness 
     practices required by their prudential regulator.
       In short, the proposal to apply repayment policies 
     developed to remediate the absence of an ability to repay 
     evaluation for federal loans to a market that leverages safe 
     and sound underwriting to consistently drive repayment 
     success would not only signifcantly disrupt exisitng 
     contracts with borrowers but would almost certainly force a 
     signficant reduction in access to private loan credit. CBA 
     members recognize the severity of the hardship many Americans 
     are facing in the economic downturn caused by the coronavirus 
     pandemic. All CBA members are working with their customers to 
     help those who are experiencing difficulties or delays in 
     making student loan payments. Banks since the start of the 
     crisis have been enhancing the options available to their 
     customers to help them manage their finances. For many 
     borrowers, it's financially better to keep making payments in 
     order to pay off their loans as soon as possible. Others need 
     more flexibility, and they are getting it.
       We understand the desire of Congress to help student loan 
     borrowers and to take measures that will stimulate the 
     economic recovery once the emergency concludes. Banks are 
     doing their part in working with our customers individually 
     to help. Unfortunately, the Dean Amendment would force many 
     banks into an impossible position with their prudential 
     regulators and force banks to stop offering student loans to 
     their customers. This is a major change in the law that does 
     not belong as part of the NDAA.
       Thank you for your consideration of our views. We would be 
     pleased to answer your questions and to work with you on ways 
     to assist our country recover from the effects of the 
     pandemic.
           Sincerely,

                                                 Richard Hunt,

                                                President and CEO,

 Summary of Steps Taken by Private Student Loan Lenders To Help Their 
                               Customers

                         [As of June 30, 2020]

       Private student loan lenders have continued since the start 
     of the COVID-19 coronavirus crisis to work closely with their 
     customers to make sure they have the assistance they need to 
     handle any financial disruptions. It is in the mutual 
     interest of lenders and borrowers to work together to get 
     through the economic difficulties caused by the emergency.
       Although very few private loan borrowers were having 
     trouble with their loan payments before the COVID-19 
     emergency, with less than 2 percent of loans charged off and 
     less than 3 percent 90 days delinquent, as soon as the 
     economic fallout from crisis became apparent, banks put plans 
     in place to help their customers. Those plans were activated 
     across the country so that borrowers can get the payment 
     relief they need. Banks are constantly reviewing the 
     situation and making changes as needed.
       The following is based on a confidential survey of the 
     Consumer Bankers Association's Education Funding Committee, 
     which includes the banks that make most private student 
     loans. The survey was first conducted April 1-8, 2020, and 
     conducted again June 5-17, 2020. The second survey found that 
     policies in place in April remained in place, with some 
     additional measures added.
       Banks are continuing to allow their borrowers to suspend 
     payments simply by asking. Documentation is not required. No 
     fees or penalties are being assessed. 90 days is the most 
     common length of time requested and granted. Extensions are 
     available if needed. Bank are instituting a policy to keep 
     loans that were past due when the emergency began from 
     becoming more delinquent.
       Most private loans are co-signed, meaning the co-signer 
     becomes responsible for the loan if the borrower defaults, 
     but the banks are not attempting to collect from co-signers 
     of loans where payments have been suspended. In other words, 
     assistance given to the borrower is applied to the co-signer.
       There were significantly more requests for help than normal 
     during March and mid-April, mainly from borrowers seeking 
     repayment relief. Banks granted them forbearance. Requests 
     have levelled off for most, with the main requests being for 
     a continuance of forbearance or other assistance previously 
     granted.
       Some banks are following common forbearance practices and 
     continuing to charge interest while payments are deferred, 
     and some are not. Those that do charge interest during the 
     forbearance are not planning to capitalize it when payment 
     restarts.
       It is common for automatic payment arrangements to stop 
     during a period of forbearance. Most banks are either 
     retaining the discount for paying via ACH or, if the discount 
     is stopped, will reinstate it after payments resume.
       Tens of thousands of borrowers have been helped.
       Lenders are not taking court action such as lawsuits to 
     collect overdue loans.
       Lenders either offer loan modifications to distressed 
     borrowers or are developing or considering modification 
     options. The modifications being offered are mostly the same 
     as those usually available, but some banks are instituting or 
     are in the process of instituting additional modifications.
       Examples of Modification options offered are:
       Interest rate reductions to lower monthly payments;
       Extending the loan term to lower monthly payments;
       Additional forbearance beyond the 90 days initially offered 
     due to COVID-19.
       Other COVID-19 related assistance examples:
       Option to skip payments without penalty;
       Allowing partial payments;
       Waiving late fees;
       Extending forbearance beyond 90 days if needed;
       Suspending involuntary collection efforts.
       All lenders offered forbearances retroactive to the start 
     of the national emergency.
       Lenders are providing ongoing COVID-19 related information 
     to their customers via multiple channels, telling them to 
     contact their servicer or lender if they need assistance. A 
     variety of ways to contact the lender/servicer are available: 
     website, phone, IVR, messaging/chat, and email. Not all offer 
     all those options but all offer most of them.
       Lenders are offering help to their communities. For 
     example, one bank donated $1 million to food banks in five 
     states.
  Mr. LUETKEMEYER. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. DEAN. Mr. Speaker, this amendment is a valuable amendment to 
tackle what we knew before the pandemic was a problem: $1.6 trillion in 
student loan debt, $119 billion of that for private student loans.
  What we do know is, while the default rate on private student loans 
is less, it amounts to $4 billion of defaulting private student loan 
debts.
  That is not an inconsequential amount of money.
  This amendment really comes from me as a former professor, as a 
mother, and as a grandmother. The burden of student loan debt in this 
country is too high, and now, as a result of a pandemic, through no 
fault of their own, many borrowers are falling into delinquency, which 
will hurt our economy, will hurt their buying power, and will hurt 
their credit rating for a long time to come. So I proudly produced this 
amendment, and I ask for support.
  Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.

                              {time}  1630

  Mr. LUETKEMEYER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman 
from North Carolina (Ms. Foxx).
  Ms. FOXX of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for 
yielding.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to discuss the flaws of this amendment as 
ranking member of the Committee on Education and Labor, which has 
jurisdiction over the Federal student loans.
  Federal student loans dominate the education loan marketplace, with 
roughly 92 percent of all outstanding student loans.
  Mr. Speaker, proponents of Big Government have succeeded in offering 
the most generous loan terms in the marketplace, but the private 
student loan marketplace hasn't made the same mistakes the Federal 
Government has. The private student loan companies underwrite their 
investments. Their model fosters student success because that is the 
only way they, as a business, can succeed.
  It was stated earlier that students had to make payments on their 
loans in the past few months. Well, that is what they agreed to do and 
what all borrowers agree to do, Mr. Speaker. That is the way it works.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to reject this amendment which will 
complete the government takeover of the student loan industry and, in 
the process, fail to set students up for success.
  Ms. DEAN. Just for some final thoughts, Mr. Speaker, I want to 
reiterate that this is a commonsense requirement that helps both the 
servicers and the borrowers. Remember, the servicers will receive a 
lump-sum payment and should, therefore, be able to make sure that the 
subsequent payments by borrowers are sustainable for borrowers.
  Forbearance is something that we built into the CARES Act, but not in 
any way for student loan borrowers. This is not without precedent. It 
is valuable to help student loan borrowers when, through no fault of 
their own, they are in an economic position of possible default.
  I will close, mindful of the great loss that we had over the weekend. 
I am

[[Page H3379]]

mindful, prayerful, and thankful for the role model and friendship of 
our colleague,   John Lewis, and how he fought for equity for all 
people and how he fought to lift up others.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge Members to support my amendment, and I yield back 
the balance of my time.
  Mr. LUETKEMEYER. Mr. Speaker, in closing, I would just remind my 
colleagues of the real purpose of this amendment. It is just to 
socialize the entire student loan industry.
  Rather than working to address the underlying causes of the student 
loan crisis, my colleagues believe the Federal Government should take 
over the entire program. This is the exact opposite of what we should 
be doing. We should be analyzing the causes of rising tuition. We 
should be strengthening the underwriting standards used by the Federal 
Government. The private sector should be held out as a model, not as a 
scapegoat.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to oppose this amendment, and I 
yield back the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 1053, the 
previous question is ordered on the amendment offered by the 
gentlewoman from Pennsylvania (Ms. Dean).
  The question is on the amendment.
  The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that 
the ayes appeared to have it.
  Mr. LUETKEMEYER. Mr. Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3 of House Resolution 
965, the yeas and nays are ordered.
  Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, further proceedings on this question 
will be postponed.

     Amendment No. 1 Offered by Mrs. Carolyn P. Maloney of New York

       Add at the end the following:

             DIVISION F--CORPORATE TRANSPARENCY ACT OF 2019

     SEC. 6001. SHORT TITLE.

       This division may be cited as the ``Corporate Transparency 
     Act of 2019''.

     SEC. 6002. FINDINGS.

       Congress finds the following:
       (1) Nearly 2,000,000 corporations and limited liability 
     companies are being formed under the laws of the States each 
     year.
       (2) Very few States require information about the 
     beneficial owners of the corporations and limited liability 
     companies formed under their laws.
       (3) A person forming a corporation or limited liability 
     company within the United States typically provides less 
     information at the time of incorporation than is needed to 
     obtain a bank account or driver's license and typically does 
     not name a single beneficial owner.
       (4) Criminals have exploited State formation procedures to 
     conceal their identities when forming corporations or limited 
     liability companies in the United States, and have then used 
     the newly created entities to commit crimes affecting 
     interstate and international commerce such as terrorism, 
     proliferation financing, drug and human trafficking, money 
     laundering, tax evasion, counterfeiting, piracy, securities 
     fraud, financial fraud, and acts of foreign corruption.
       (5) Law enforcement efforts to investigate corporations and 
     limited liability companies suspected of committing crimes 
     have been impeded by the lack of available beneficial 
     ownership information, as documented in reports and testimony 
     by officials from the Department of Justice, the Department 
     of Homeland Security, the Department of the Treasury, and the 
     Government Accountability Office, and others.
       (6) In July 2006, the leading international antimoney 
     laundering standard-setting body, the Financial Action Task 
     Force on Money Laundering (in this section referred to as the 
     ``FATF''), of which the United States is a member, issued a 
     report that criticizes the United States for failing to 
     comply with a FATF standard on the need to collect beneficial 
     ownership information and urged the United States to correct 
     this deficiency by July 2008. In December 2016, FATF issued 
     another evaluation of the United States, which found that 
     little progress has been made over the last ten years to 
     address this problem. It identified the ``lack of timely 
     access to adequate, accurate and current beneficial ownership 
     information'' as a fundamental gap in United States efforts 
     to combat money laundering and terrorist finance.
       (7) In response to the 2006 FATF report, the United States 
     has urged the States to obtain beneficial ownership 
     information for the corporations and limited liability 
     companies formed under the laws of such States.
       (8) In contrast to practices in the United States, all 28 
     countries in the European Union are required to have 
     corporate registries that include beneficial ownership 
     information.
       (9) To reduce the vulnerability of the United States to 
     wrongdoing by United States corporations and limited 
     liability companies with hidden owners, to protect interstate 
     and international commerce from criminals misusing United 
     States corporations and limited liability companies, to 
     strengthen law enforcement investigations of suspect 
     corporations and limited liability companies, to set a clear, 
     universal standard for State incorporation practices, and to 
     bring the United States into compliance with international 
     anti-money laundering standards, Federal legislation is 
     needed to require the collection of beneficial ownership 
     information for the corporations and limited liability 
     companies formed under the laws of such States.

       (a) In General.--

           amendment no. 38 Offered by Mr. Bera of California

       At the end of title XIII, add the following new section:

     SEC. 13__. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING BIOLOGICAL THREAT 
                   REDUCTION AND COOPERATIVE BIOLOGICAL ENGAGEMENT 
                   OF THE COOPERATIVE THREAT REDUCTION PROGRAM.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) keeping Americans safe means ensuring that global 
     health security is prioritized as a national security issue;
       (2) as highlighted by the 2017 National Security Strategy 
     of the United States, biological threats, whether 
     ``deliberate attack, accident, or a natural outbreak'', are 
     growing threats and ``require actions to address them at 
     their source'' through programs carried out by cooperative 
     engagement, such as working ``with partners to ensure that 
     laboratories that handle dangerous pathogens have in place 
     safety and security measures'';
       (3) the 2017 National Security Strategy of the United 
     States appropriately affirms the importance of supporting 
     advancements in biomedical innovation while mitigating harm 
     caused by advanced bioweapons and capabilities;
       (4) the intrinsically linked nature of biological threats, 
     whether naturally occurring, accidental, or deliberate, 
     underscores the relationship between the Global Health 
     Security Strategy of the United States and the National 
     Biodefense Strategy, and the national security tools used to 
     prevent and mitigate these threats must be similarly 
     connected;
       (5) biological threats are a critical emerging threat 
     against the United States and addressing these threats 
     through cooperative programs is an opportunity to achieve 
     long-standing nonproliferation goals;
       (6) cooperative programs to address biological threats 
     through improved global capacity in the areas of biosafety, 
     biosecurity, bio-surveillance, research oversight, and 
     related legislative and regulatory frameworks have become 
     even more important as the world faces increasing 
     availability of and advancements in biotechnology, which has 
     broad dual-use and proliferation implications;
       (7) under the Cooperative Threat Reduction Program of the 
     Department of Defense established under the Department of 
     Defense Cooperative Threat Reduction Act (50 U.S.C. 3701 et 
     seq.), Congress authorized the Secretary of Defense to 
     address such threats through activities to prevent, detect, 
     and report on highly pathogenic diseases or other diseases, 
     ``regardless of whether such diseases are caused by 
     biological weapons'';
       (8) in 2014, President Obama declared the Ebola virus 
     disease epidemic a national security priority and exercised 
     the authority under such Program to build capacity that 
     mitigated the imminent threat posed by the Ebola virus 
     disease and established capabilities required to prevent 
     future outbreaks;
       (9) many of the prevention, detection, and response 
     capacities built in response to the

[[Page H3402]]

     Ebola virus disease epidemic are also those used to prevent, 
     detect, and respond to the use of biological weapons abroad;
       (10) continuing to use cooperative engagement programs is 
     in the national security interests of the United States 
     because of the important relationships established between 
     the United States and partner countries, which are based on 
     ideals such as transparency, information sharing, and a 
     shared responsibility in advancing global security;
       (11) the recent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) global 
     pandemic has illustrated the dire consequences resulting from 
     a single disease that knows no boundaries, impacting the 
     United States economy and the health of United States 
     citizens and members of the Armed Forces, both domestically 
     and abroad;
       (12) in light of the impacts caused by COVID-19, and 
     following two congressionally mandated reports that call for 
     better implementation of the biological cooperative 
     engagement programs of the United States and the National 
     Biodefense Strategy (the report published by the Government 
     Accountability Office on March 11, 2020, titled ``National 
     Biodefense Strategy: Opportunities and Challenges with Early 
     Implementation'' and the report published by the National 
     Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine on April 14, 
     2020, titled ``A Strategic Vision for Biological Threat 
     Reduction: The U.S. Department of Defense and Beyond''), it 
     is of utmost importance that such programs are given due and 
     increased prioritization for national security purposes; and
       (13) the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of State 
     should make every effort to prioritize and advance the 
     determination, concurrence, and notification processes under 
     the Department of Defense Cooperative Threat Reduction Act 
     (50 U.S.C. 3701 et seq.) to provide for necessary new country 
     determinations in a timely manner and be responsive to 
     emerging biological threats.

         Amendment No. 55 Offered by Ms. Brownley of California

       At the end of title XVII, insert the following new 
     subtitle:

         Subtitle F--Biliteracy Education Seal and Teaching Act

     SEC. 1771. SHORT TITLE.

       This subtitle may be cited as the ``Biliteracy Education 
     Seal and Teaching Act'' or the ``BEST Act''.

     SEC. 1772. FINDINGS.

       Congress finds the following:
       (1) The people of the United States celebrate cultural and 
     linguistic diversity and seek to prepare students with skills 
     to succeed in the 21st century.
       (2) It is fitting to commend the dedication of students who 
     have achieved proficiency in multiple languages and to 
     encourage their peers to follow in their footsteps.
       (3) The congressionally requested Commission on Language 
     Learning, in its 2017 report ``America's Languages: Investing 
     in Language Education for the 21st Century'', notes the 
     pressing national need for more people of the United States 
     who are proficient in two or more languages for national 
     security, economic growth, and the fulfillment of the 
     potential of all people of the United States.
       (4) The Commission on Language Learning also notes the 
     extensive cognitive, educational, and employment benefits 
     deriving from biliteracy.
       (5) Biliteracy in general correlates with higher graduation 
     rates, higher grade point averages, higher rates of 
     matriculation into higher education, and higher earnings for 
     all students, regardless of background.
       (6) The study of America's languages in elementary and 
     secondary schools should be encouraged because it contributes 
     to a student's cognitive development and to the national 
     economy and security.
       (7) Recognition of student achievement in language 
     proficiency will enable institutions of higher education and 
     employers to readily recognize and acknowledge the valuable 
     expertise of bilingual students in academia and the 
     workplace.
       (8) States such as Utah, Arizona, Washington, and New 
     Mexico have developed innovative testing methods for 
     languages, including Native American languages, where no 
     formal proficiency test currently exists.
       (9) The use of proficiency in a government-recognized 
     official Native American language as the base language for a 
     Seal of Biliteracy, with proficiency in any additional 
     partner language demonstrated through tested proficiency, has 
     been successfully demonstrated in Hawaii.
       (10) Students in every State and every school should be 
     able to benefit from a Seal of Biliteracy program.

     new section:

     SEC. 28__. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE REPORT ON EASEMENTS AND 
                   LEASED LANDS IN HAWAI`I.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:

[[Page H3407]]

       (1) Lands throughout the State of Hawai'i currently owned 
     and leased by the Department of Defense or in which the 
     Department of Defense otherwise has a real property interest 
     are critical to maintaining the readiness of the Armed Forces 
     now stationed or to be stationed in Hawai'i and throughout 
     the Indo-Pacific region and elsewhere.
       (2) Securing long-term continued utilization of those lands 
     by the Armed Forces is thus critical to the national defense.
       (3) As a result of various factors, including complex land 
     ownership and utilization issues and competing actual and 
     potential uses, the interdependency of the various military 
     components, and the necessity of maintaining public support 
     for the presence and operations of the Armed Forces, the 
     realization of the congressional and Department of Defense 
     goals of ensuring the continuity of critical land and 
     facilities infrastructure requires a sustained, dedicated, 
     funded, top-level effort to coordinate realization of these 
     goals across the Armed Forces, between the Department of 
     Defense and other agencies of the Federal Government, and 
     between the Department of Defense and the State of Hawai'i 
     and its civilian sector.
       (4) The end result of this effort must account for military 
     and civilian concerns and for the changing missions and needs 
     of all components of the Armed Forces stationed or otherwise 
     operating out of the State of Hawai`i as the Department of 
     Defense adjusts to meet the objectives outlined in the 
     National Defense Strategy.
       (b) Report Required.--Not later than 180 days after the 
     date of the enactment of this Act, the Under Secretary of 
     Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment shall submit to the 
     congressional defense committee a report describing the 
     progress being made by the Department of Defense to renew 
     Department of Defense land leases and easements in the State 
     of Hawai`i that encompass one acre or more and will expire 
     before January 1, 2030. The report shall include the 
     following:
       (1) The location, size, and expiration date of each lease 
     and easement.
       (2) Major milestones and expected timelines for maintaining 
     access to the land covered by each lease and easement.
       (3) Actions completed over the preceding two years for each 
     lease and easement.
       (4) Department-wide and service-specific authorities 
     governing each lease and easement extension.
       (5) A summary of coordination efforts between the Secretary 
     of Defense and the Secretaries of the military departments.
       (6) The status of efforts to develop an inventory of 
     military land in Hawai`i, to include current possible future 
     uses, that would assist in land negotiations with the State 
     of Hawai`i.
       (7) The risks and potential solutions to ensure the 
     renewability of required and critical leases and easements.

             amendment no. 74 Offered by Mr. Chabot of Ohio

       Add at the end of subtitle G of title XII the following:

     SEC. 12__. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON CROSS-BORDER VIOLENCE IN THE 
                   GALWAN VALLEY AND THE GROWING TERRITORIAL 
                   CLAIMS OF THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Since a truce in 1962 ended skirmishes between India 
     and the People's Republic of China, the countries have been 
     divided by a 2,100-mile-long Line of Actual Control.
       (2) In the decades since the truce, military standoffs 
     between India and the People's Republic of China have flared; 
     however, the standoffs have rarely claimed the lives of 
     soldiers.
       (3) In the months leading up to June, 15, 2020, along the 
     Line of Actual Control, the People's Republic of China--
       (A) reportedly amassed 5,000 soldiers; and
       (B) is believed to have crossed into previously disputed 
     territory considered to be settled as part of India under the 
     1962 truce.
       (4) On June 6, 2020, the People's Republic of China and 
     India reached an agreement to deescalate and disengage along 
     the Line of Actual Control.
       (5) On June 15, 2020, at least 20 Indian soldiers and an 
     unconfirmed number of Chinese soldiers were killed in 
     skirmishes following a weeks-long standoff in Eastern Ladakh, 
     which is the de facto border between India and the People's 
     Republic of China.
       (6) Following the deadly violence, Prime Minister Narendra 
     Modi of India stated, ``[w]henever there have been 
     differences of opinion, we have always tried to ensure that 
     those differences never turned into a dispute''.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) India and the People's Republic of China should work 
     toward deescalating the situation along the Line of Actual 
     Control; and
       (2) the expansion and aggression of the People's Republic 
     of China in and around disputed territories, such as the Line 
     of Actual Control, the South China Sea, the Senkaku Islands, 
     is of significant concern.

     SEC. 1006. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS ON NEED FOR NEW GREAT LAKES 
                   ICEBREAKER.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
       (1) The Great Lakes shipping industry is crucial to the 
     American economy, including the United States manufacturing 
     base, providing important economic and national security 
     benefits.
       (2) A recent study found that the Great Lakes shipping 
     industry supports 237,000 jobs and tens of billions of 
     dollars in economic activity.
       (3) United States Coast Guard icebreaking capacity is 
     crucial to full utilization of the Great Lakes shipping 
     system, as during the winter icebreaking season up to 15 
     percent of annual cargo loads are delivered, and many 
     industries would have to reduce their production if Coast 
     Guard icebreaking services were not provided.
       (4) Six of the Coast Guard's nine icebreaking cutters in 
     the Great Lakes are more than 30 years old and are frequently 
     inoperable during the winter icebreaking season, including 
     those that have completed a recent service life extension 
     program.
       (5) During the previous 10 winters, Coast Guard Great Lakes 
     icebreaking cutters have been inoperable for an average of 65 
     cutter-days during the winter icebreaking season, with this 
     annual lost capability exceeding 100 cutter days, with a high 
     of 246 cutter days during the winter of 2017-2018.
       (6) The 2019 ice season provides further proof that current 
     Coast Guard icebreaking capacity is inadequate for the needs 
     of the Great Lakes shipping industry, as only six of the nine 
     icebreaking cutters are operational, and millions of tons of 
     cargo was not loaded or was delayed due to inadequate Coast 
     Guard icebreaking assets during a historically average winter 
     for Great Lakes ice coverage.
       (7) The Congress has authorized the Coast Guard to acquire 
     a new Great Lakes icebreaker as capable as Coast Guard Cutter 
     Mackinaw (WLBB-30), the most capable Great Lakes icebreaker, 
     and $10 million has been appropriated to fund the design and 
     initial acquisition work for this icebreaker.
       (8) The Coast Guard has not initiated a new acquisition 
     program for this Great Lakes icebreaker.
       (b) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     of the United States that a new Coast Guard icebreaker as 
     capable as Coast Guard Cutter Mackinaw (WLBB-30) is needed on 
     the Great Lakes, and the Coast Guard should acquire this 
     icebreaker as soon as possible.

     SEC. 4301. COAST GUARD ARCTIC PRIORITIZATION.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The strategic importance of the Arctic continues to 
     increase as the United States and other countries recognize 
     the military significance of the sea lanes and choke points 
     within the region and understand the potential for power 
     projection from the Arctic into multiple regions.
       (2) Russia and China have conducted military exercises 
     together in the Arctic, have agreed to connect the Northern 
     Sea Route, claimed by Russia, with China's Maritime Silk 
     Road, and are working together in developing natural gas 
     resources in the Arctic.
       (3) The economic significance of the Arctic continues to 
     grow as countries around the globe begin to understand the 
     potential for maritime transportation through, and economic 
     and trade development in, the region.
       (4) Increases in human, maritime, and resource development 
     activity in the Arctic region may create additional mission 
     requirements for the Department of Defense and the Department 
     of Homeland Security.
       (5) The increasing role of the United States in the Arctic 
     has been highlighted in each of the last four national 
     defense authorization acts.
       (6) The United States Coast Guard Arctic Strategic Outlook 
     released in April 2019 states, ``Demonstrating commitment to 
     operational presence, Canada, Denmark, and Norway have made 
     strategic investments in ice-capable patrol ships charged 
     with national or homeland security missions. The United 
     States is the only Arctic State that has not made similar 
     investments in ice-capable surface maritime security assets. 
     This limits the ability of the Coast Guard, and the Nation, 
     to credibly uphold sovereignty or respond to contingencies in 
     the Arctic.''.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the Arctic is a region of strategic importance to the 
     national security interests of the United States, and the 
     Coast Guard must better align its mission prioritization and 
     development of capabilities to meet the growing array of 
     challenges in the region;
       (2) the increasing freedom of navigation and expansion of 
     activity in the Arctic must be met with an increasing show of 
     Coast

[[Page H3452]]

     Guard forces capable of exerting influence through persistent 
     presence;
       (3) Congress fully supports the needed and important re-
     capitalization of the fleet of cutters and aircraft of the 
     Coast Guard, but, the Coast Guard must avoid overextending 
     operational assets for remote international missions at the 
     cost of dedicated focus on this domestic area of 
     responsibility with significant international interest and 
     activity; and
       (4) although some progress has been made to increase 
     awareness of Arctic issues and to promote increased presence 
     in the region, additional measures are needed to protect 
     vital economic, environmental, and national security 
     interests of the United States, and to show the commitment of 
     the United States to this emerging strategic choke point of 
     increasing great power competition.
       (c) Arctic Defined.--In this section, the term ``Arctic'' 
     has the meaning given that term in section 112 of the Arctic

     of United States nationals detained abroad to determine if

     substantially to influence United States Government policy or

     basis of Western institutions including NATO and the European

     people.

     transitional period in Sudan, and notwithstanding any other

     States to support loans or other utilization of the funds of 
     the respective institution for Sudan for the purpose of 
     addressing basic human needs, responding to the COVID-19 
     outbreak and its impact on the country's economic stability, 
     or promoting democracy, governance, or public financial 
     management in Sudan.
       (c) Debt Relief.--Upon the removal of Sudan from the State 
     Sponsors of Terrorism List, and once the Sovereignty Council 
     is chaired by a civilian leader, the Secretary of the 
     Treasury and the Secretary of State should engage with 
     international financial institutions and other bilateral 
     official creditors to advance agreement through the Heavily 
     Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) Initiative to restructure, 
     reschedule, or cancel the sovereign debt of Sudan.
       (d) Reporting Requirement.--Not later than 3 months after 
     the date of the enactment of this Act, and not less than 
     every 6 months thereafter during the transitional period, the 
     Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary 
     of State, shall report to the appropriate congressional 
     committees on the extent to which the transitional government 
     of Sudan has taken demonstrable steps to strengthen 
     governance and improve fiscal transparency, including--
       (1) establishing civilian control over the finances and 
     assets of the Sudanese security and intelligence services;
       (2) developing a transparent budget that accounts for all 
     expenditures related to the security and intelligence 
     services;
       (3) identifying the shareholdings in all public and private 
     companies not exclusively dedicated to the national defense 
     held or managed by the security and intelligence services, 
     and publicly disclosing, evaluating, and transferring all 
     such shareholdings to the Ministry of Finance of the 
     Government of Sudan or to any specialized entity of the 
     Government of Sudan established under law for this purpose, 
     which is ultimately accountable to a civilian authority;
       (4) ceasing the involvement of the security and 
     intelligence services officials, adn their immediate family 
     members, in the illicit trade in mineral resources, including 
     petroleum and gold;
       (5) implementing a publicly transparent methodology for the 
     Government of Sudan to recover, evaluate, hold, manage, or 
     divest any state assets and the profits derived from the 
     assets that may have been transferred to the National 
     Congress Party, an affiliate of the National Congress Party, 
     or an official of the National Congress Party in the 
     individual capacity of such an official;
       (6) identifying and monitoring the nature and purpose of 
     offshore financial resources controlled by the security and 
     intelligence services; and
       (7) strengthening banking regulation and supervision and 
     addressing anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism 
     financing deficiencies.
       (e) Appropriate Congressional Committees.--In this section, 
     the term ``appropriate congressional committees'' means--
       (1) the Committee on Financial Services, the Committee on 
     Foreign Affairs, and the Committee on Appropriations of the 
     House of Representatives; and

           amendment no. 127 offered by mr. engel of new york

       Add at the end of the bill the following:

       DIVISION E--DEPARTMENT OF STATE AUTHORITIES AND ACTIVITIES

     SEC. 5001. SHORT TITLE.

       This division may be cited as the ``Department of State 
     Authorization Act of 2020''.

    TITLE I--ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE

     SEC. 5101. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON IMPORTANCE OF DEPARTMENT OF 
                   STATE'S WORK.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) United States global engagement is key to a stable and 
     prosperous world;
       (2) United States leadership is indispensable in light of 
     the many complex and interconnected threats facing the United 
     States and the world;
       (3) diplomacy and development are critical tools of 
     national power, and full deployment

[[Page H3472]]

     of these tools is vital to United States national security;
       (4) challenges such as the global refugee and migration 
     crises, terrorism, historic famine and food insecurity, and 
     fragile or repressive societies cannot be addressed without 
     sustained and robust United States diplomatic and development 
     leadership;
       (5) the United States Government must use all of the 
     instruments of national security and foreign policy at its 
     disposal to protect United States citizens, promote United 
     States interests and values, and support global stability and 
     prosperity;
       (6) United States security and prosperity depend on having 
     partners and allies that share our interests and values, and 
     these partnerships are nurtured and our shared interests and 
     values are promoted through United States diplomatic 
     engagement, security cooperation, economic statecraft, and 
     assistance that helps further economic development, good 
     governance, including the rule of law and democratic 
     institutions, and the development of shared responses to 
     natural and humanitarian disasters;
       (7) as the United States Government agencies primarily 
     charged with conducting diplomacy and development, the 
     Department and the United States Agency for International 
     Development (USAID) require sustained and robust funding to 
     carry out this important work, which is essential to our 
     ability to project United States leadership and values and to 
     advance the United States interests around the world;
       (8) the work of the Department and USAID makes the United 
     States and the world safer and more prosperous by alleviating 
     global poverty and hunger, fighting HIV/AIDS and other 
     infectious diseases, strengthening alliances, expanding 
     educational opportunities for women and girls, promoting good 
     governance and democracy, supporting anti-corruption efforts, 
     driving economic development and trade, preventing armed 
     conflicts and humanitarian crises, and creating American jobs 
     and export opportunities;
       (9) the Department and USAID are vital national security 
     agencies, whose work is critical to the projection of United 
     States power and leadership worldwide, and without which 
     Americans would be less safe, our economic power would be 
     diminished, and global stability and prosperity would suffer;
       (10) investing in diplomacy and development before 
     conflicts break out saves American lives while also being 
     cost-effective; and
       (11) the contributions of personnel working at the 
     Department and USAID are extraordinarily valuable and allow 
     the United States to maintain its leadership around the 
     world.

     Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor.
       ``(E) Local oversight.--United States missions, to the 
     extent practicable, should assist in exercising oversight 
     authority and coordinate with the Bureau of Democracy, Human 
     Rights, and Labor to ensure that funds are appropriately used

       (h) Elimination of Special Representative and Policy 
     Coordinator for Burma.--
       (1) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (A) Congress established the Special Representative and 
     Policy Coordinator for Burma in July 2008 at a time when the 
     United States did not maintain full diplomatic relations with 
     Burma and had not appointed an Ambassador to Burma in 18 
     years.
       (B) In 2012, the United States re-established full 
     diplomatic relations with Burma and appointed a United States 
     Ambassador to Burma who, along with the Secretary of State, 
     Assistant Secretary of State for East Asia and the Pacific, 
     and other United States Government officials, represents the 
     United States' interests in Burma.

     whose employees, both Foreign and Civil Service, require the 
     best possible training at every stage of their careers to 
     prepare them to promote and defend United States national 
     interests and the health and safety of United States citizens 
     abroad;
       (2) the Secretary should explore establishing a ``training 
     float'' requiring that a certain percentage of the Foreign 
     Service shall be in long-term training at any given time;
       (3) the Department's Foreign Service Institute should seek 
     to substantially increase its educational and training 
     offerings to Department personnel, including developing new 
     and innovative educational and training courses, methods, 
     programs, and opportunities; and
       (4) consistent with existing Department gift acceptance 
     authority and other applicable laws, the Department and 
     Foreign Service Institute should seek and accept funds and 
     other resources from foundations, not-for-profit 
     corporations, and other appropriate sources to help the 
     Department and the Institute accomplish the goals specified 
     in paragraph (3).

     SEC. 5309. DIPLOMATIC PROGRAMS.

       (a) Sense of Congress on Workforce Recruitment.--It is the 
     sense of Congress that the Secretary should continue to hold

     and Pathways Internship Programs in a manner and at a 
     frequency consistent with prior years and consistent with the 
     need to maintain a pool of experienced personnel effectively 
     distributed across skill codes and ranks. It is further the 
     sense of Congress that absent continuous recruitment and 
     training of Foreign Service officers and civil servants, the 
     Department will lack experienced, qualified personnel in the 
     short, medium, and long terms.
       (b) Limitation.--The Secretary may not implement any 
     reduction-in-force action under section 3502 or 3595 of title

     law unless--
       (1) the appropriate congressional committees are notified 
     not less than 15 days in advance of such obligation or 
     expenditure; and
       (2) the Secretary has provided to the appropriate 
     congressional committees a detailed report that describes the 
     Department's strategic staffing goals, including--
       (A) a justification that describes how any proposed 
     workforce reduction enhances the effectiveness of the 
     Department;
       (B) a certification that such workforce reduction is in the 
     national interest of the United States;
       (C) a comprehensive strategic staffing plan for the 
     Department, including 5-year workforce forecasting and a 
     description of the anticipated impact of any proposed 
     workforce reduction; and
       (D) a dataset displaying comprehensive workforce data for 
     all current and planned employees of the Department,

       (3) actively encourage participation from a range of 
     demographic categories, especially from categories with 
     consistently low participation, in such professional

     SEC. 5404. RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION.

     professional development opportunities that support the

     the Department should offer both the Foreign Service written 
     examination and oral assessment in more locations throughout

     where these assessments are offered.

     Foreign Service Act of 1980 (22 U.S.C. 3941) is amended--

     Secretary''; and

     Examiners for the Foreign Service annually offers the oral 
     assessment examinations described in paragraph (1) in cities, 
     chosen on a rotating basis, located in at least three 
     different time zones across the United States.''.

     past programs designed to increase minority representation in 
     international affairs positions.

     SEC. 5409. VOLUNTARY PARTICIPATION.

       The Congress finds as follows:
       (1) Possessing more than $3,000,000,000,000 in foreign 
     exchange reserves, the People's Republic of China has devoted 
     state resources to establish the Asian Infrastructure 
     Investment Bank, the New Development Bank, and activities 
     under the Belt and Road Initiative, potentially creating 
     rivals to the multilateral development banks led by the 
     United States and its allies.
       (2) The International Bank for Reconstruction and 
     Development (IBRD), the World Bank's primary financing 
     institution for middle-income countries, ceases to finance 
     (``graduates'') countries that are able to sustain long-term 
     development without recourse to Bank resources.
       (3) The IBRD examines a country's potential graduation when 
     the country reaches the Graduation Discussion Income (GDI), 
     which amounts to a Gross National Income (GNI) per capita of 
     $6,975.
       (4) The World Bank calculates China's GNI per capita as 
     equivalent to $9,470.
       (5) According to the Center for Global Development, China 
     has received $7,800,000,000 in IBRD commitments since 
     crossing the GDI threshold in 2016.

     prioritize projects in China that contribute to global public 
     goods, to the extent practicable.

       (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the Sense of Congress that--
       (1) in 1898, Puerto Rico became a territory of the United 
     States and, the following year, Congress authorized raising a 
     military unit of volunteer soldiers on the island, which was 
     organized as the ``Puerto Rico Regiment of Volunteer 
     Infantry'';
       (2) in 1908, Congress incorporated the regiment as part of 
     the regular United States Army as the ``Puerto Rico Regiment 
     of Infantry'';
       (3) in 1917, after the United States entry into World War 
     I, the Puerto Rico Regiment of Infantry was sent to Panama to 
     defend the Panama Canal Zone;
       (4) in 1920, Congress redesignated the unit as the 65th 
     Infantry Regiment of the United States Army;
       (5) during World War II, the 65th Infantry Regiment served 
     in North Africa and Europe, including combat operations in 
     France and Germany for which members of the unit received 
     commendations for valiant service, including 1 Distinguished 
     Service Cross, 2 Silver Stars, 2 Bronze Stars, and 90 Purple 
     Hearts;
       (6) in 1950, the 65th Infantry Regiment deployed to South 
     Korea, and during the voyage the soldiers nicknamed the unit 
     the ``Borinqueneers'', a reference to the native Taino 
     Tribe's name for the island of Puerto Rico;
       (7) during the Korean war, the 65th Infantry Regiment 
     (hereinafter, the ``Borinqueneers'') engaged in substantial 
     combat operations on the Korean Peninsula, and the unit 
     played a central role in several important offensives and 
     counter-offensives that earned it well-deserved admiration 
     and commendation;
       (8) the Borinqueneers' extraordinary service during the 
     Korean war resulted in the Regiment receiving 2 Presidential 
     Unit Citations (Army and Navy), 2 Republic of Korea 
     Presidential Unit Citations, a Meritorious Unit Commendation 
     (Army), a Navy Unit Commendation, the Chryssoun Aristion

     Summer-Fall Offensive, Second Korean Winter, Korea Summer-
     Fall 1952, Third Korean Winter, and Korea Summer 1953;

     and awards for its soldiers, including 1 Medal of Honor, 9 
     Distinguished Service Crosses, more than 250 Silver Stars, 
     more than 600 Bronze Stars, and more than 2,700 Purple 
     Hearts;
       (10) in 1956, the 65th Infantry Regiment was deactivated 
     from the regular United States Army and, in 1959, its units 
     and regimental number were assigned to the Puerto Rico 
     National Guard;
       (11) in 1982, the United States Army Center of Military 
     History officially authorized designating the 65th Infantry 
     Regiment as the ``Borinqueneers''; and
       (12) on April 13, 2016, Congress awarded the Congressional 
     Gold Medal to the 65th Infantry Regiment in recognition of 
     the Borinqueneers' numerous contributions to American history 
     and outstanding military service from World War I through the 
     recent conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq.
       (b) Resolution.--The House of Representatives--
       (1) expresses support for the designation of ``National 
     Borinqueneers Day'';
       (2) recognizes the bravery, service, and sacrifice of the 
     Puerto Rican soldiers of the 65th Infantry Regiment in the 
     armed conflicts of the United States in the 20th and 21st 
     centuries;
       (3) expresses deep gratitude for the contributions to the 
     Armed Forces that have been made by hundreds of thousands of 
     patriotic United States citizens from Puerto Rico; and
       (4) urges individuals and communities across the United 
     States to participate in activities that are designed--

     veterans who served in the 65th Infantry Regiment, known as

       (B) to pay tribute to the sacrifices made and adversities 
     overcome by Puerto Rican and Hispanic military service

     employee of the Department of Defense who--
       (1) is pregnant;
       (2) gives birth to a child; or
       (3) incurs a medical condition arising from pregnancy or 
     childbirth.

       (C) the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency;

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 1053, the 
gentleman from Washington (Mr. Smith) and the gentleman from Texas (Mr. 
Thornberry) each will control 15 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Washington.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Speaker, I am pleased to yield 1 
minute to the gentlewoman from Minnesota (Ms. Craig).
  Ms. CRAIG. Madam Speaker, I thank the chairman for yielding and 
allowing me to speak on this en bloc amendment, which includes my 
amendment to add $30 million to the Army Community Services account to 
provide family assistance, victim advocacy, financial counseling, 
employment readiness, and other similar support services. This program 
is so important, and I am grateful the amendment was included.
  I am also here to urge the inclusion of the Insulin Affordability 
Data Collection Act in the final NDAA. Right now, Minnesotans are dying 
because of the real-life impact of the cost of insulin and other 
lifesaving prescription drugs.
  Madam Speaker, I urge the inclusion of this bill, which is already 
included in the Senate's version of NDAA. This issue will study the 
rates of diabetic ketoacidosis, which took the life of Minnesotan Alec 
Smith 2 years ago after the high cost of insulin forced him to ration 
his doses.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to distinguished 
gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Shimkus).
  Mr. SHIMKUS. Madam Speaker, I oppose the Delgado amendment. Beware of 
a wolf in sheep's clothing.
  This is not a technical fix or a clarification of last year's NDAA. 
There were no colloquies, report language, or public statements 
rejecting TRI exemptions for PFAS in connection with last year's NDAA.
  With zero hearings on this topic, this amendment would greatly 
benefit from regular order to appreciate its impact, which would be 
going through the Energy and Commerce Committee.
  TRI contains several reporting exemptions, including de minimis

[[Page H3498]]

amount in chemical mixtures, when the chemical is in an article, and if 
the chemical is a cleaning substance or used for research.
  Madam Speaker, the Delgado amendment would strip these exemptions, 
and I urge its rejection.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the 
gentleman from California (Mr. Carbajal), who is a member of the Armed 
Services Committee.
  Mr. CARBAJAL. Madam Speaker, this important measure reauthorizes the 
Coast Guard and adopts important safety reforms for small passenger 
boats based on legislation I sponsored.
  Last September, we tragically lost 34 lives when the Conception dive 
boat caught on fire in the waters off Santa Cruz Island in my district. 
This is one of the worst maritime disasters in recent history.
  We have now learned that NTSB had previously made recommendations to 
the Coast Guard to improve maritime safety operations. This amendment 
would require implementation of some of those reforms to prevent 
tragedies like this from happening again.
  Madam Speaker, I am grateful to the Coast Guard and to local law 
enforcement for their help with search and rescue and to Chair DeFazio 
and Chair Maloney for their support on this issue, and I urge my 
colleagues to support this amendment.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Kentucky (Mr. Massie).
  Mr. MASSIE. Madam Speaker, I rise today in opposition to the Langevin 
national cyber director amendment, which would expand an already 
bloated administrative state by creating a new position within the 
White House, basically, a resident lobbyist for big tech vendors and a 
legion of 75 unaccountable career government bureaucrats. This new 
department is like a self-licking ice cream cone, paid for by taxpayers 
and accountable to virtually no one.
  The President opposes this new position, as should anyone who 
believes that laws should be written by elected Congressmen and carried 
out by an elected President.
  Madam Speaker, I urge a ``no'' vote on this amendment.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the 
gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Gottheimer).
  Mr. GOTTHEIMER. Madam Speaker, I urge support of this package, which 
contains four amendments I have introduced.
  My first requires the Secretaries of Defense and State to investigate 
the use of social media platforms by foreign terrorists and to report 
to Congress on the homeland security threats posed by online 
radicalization of violent extremists. Just last week, public reporting 
detailed that Facebook accounts linked to ISIS are still on the 
platform, letting them spread extremist content online.

  My second amendment looks out for our brave National Guard members on 
the front lines of COVID-19, including disaster-stricken long-term care 
facilities like the State-run New Jersey veterans home at Paramus, by 
providing 2 weeks of housing to quarantine safely before returning to 
their families and communities.
  My third amendment ensures that the Secretary of Defense publicly 
reports lead and copper testing of drinking water at K-12 schools on 
military bases, because parents and families deserve to know the facts.
  Madam Speaker, to ensure we are standing up for military families, my 
final amendment requires an annual report to Congress analyzing 
nationwide costs of living for members of the Department of Defense, 
particularly those in New Jersey who have been whacked by the gutting 
of the SALT deduction.
  Madam Speaker, I urge support for this bipartisan set of amendments.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the distinguished 
gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Bergman).
  Mr. BERGMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of my amendment 
included in this en bloc package.
  My amendment would create a cyberattack exception to the Foreign 
Sovereign Immunities Act to remove the immunity of foreign states--
including foreign officials, employees, or agents--with regard to money 
damages sought by a national of the United States for personal injury, 
harm to reputation, or damage to or loss of property resulting from 
cyberattacks.
  The Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act was passed in the seventies 
before anyone could fathom what our technology capabilities would be 
today, and under that law, if a foreign national commits a cyberattack 
against a U.S. citizen, our citizen has no legal recourse here in the 
U.S. to defend themselves.
  With this blanket immunity, our adversaries in North Korea, Russia, 
and China have a free hand to attack Americans from the comfort of 
their own homes without consequence.
  For decades, foreign governments have been using cyberattacks to 
influence politics and policy in our country. Now, in the midst of the 
coronavirus pandemic, we have this hacking activity ramp up against 
U.S. medical institutions and vaccine development.
  We can't sit back and do nothing. It is time for Congress to update 
its laws to reflect modern technology and modern national security 
threats.

                              {time}  1645

  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the 
gentlewoman from New Mexico (Ms. Haaland), a member of the Committee on 
Armed Services.
  Ms. HAALAND. Madam Speaker, included in this en bloc are my 
amendments to protect indigenous communities in Brazil and to remove 
negative perceptions and stereotypes about pregnant military members 
that lead to ill-treatment that disadvantage their careers and well-
being.
  In the 1950s, my mother was forced from the Navy because she was 
pregnant. Though times have changed, Active Duty mothers are 
experiencing microaggressions and subtle forms of discrimination.
  Madam Speaker, with this amendment, the DOD must develop and 
implement policies to end pregnancy discrimination. This change is long 
overdue and will allow women serving in my district and across the 
country to have long, successful military careers.
  Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on this en bloc, 
and I thank the chairman for his leadership and support.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the distinguished 
gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Bost).
  Mr. BOST. Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague, Mr. Lamb, for joining 
me as a coauthor of the legislation we have on the en bloc. I also 
thank Chairman DeFazio and Ranking Member Graves for their support as 
well.
  Every year, 575 million tons of cargo travel through our inland ports 
and waterways. That includes the Kaskaskia and America's Central Port 
in southern Illinois.
  Half a million American jobs depend on inland shipping. They are 
vital parts of the transportation network and our Nation's ability to 
compete globally.
  Unfortunately, these small coastal ports and terminals have less 
ability to compete for grants and capital to improve their efficiency 
and compete against the large facilities. This puts them at a 
disadvantage.
  This amendment will help increase access to critical Federal funding 
for small coastal and inland ports and terminals. Improving these 
facilities will not only have a big impact on the economy, but it will 
also help local farmers, miners, and manufacturers be more competitive.
  Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this amendment.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the 
gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Malinowski).
  Mr. MALINOWSKI. Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of amendment 
122 offered by Mr. Deutch of Florida, which adds the Robert Levinson 
Hostage Recovery and Hostage-Taking Accountability Act.
  Madam Speaker, this amendment is named for Bob Levinson, the longest 
held American hostage. I have the honor of representing one of Bob's 
daughters in Congress.
  He was a 25-year FBI veteran who disappeared from Iran on March 9, 
2007. Time and again, the Levinsons watched as other Americans came 
home from Iran, and Bob was left behind.
  After 13 years, his family learned this March that a determination 
was made

[[Page H3499]]

that he was no longer alive. It was a heart-wrenching moment for them 
and for everyone who had worked on their behalf.
  The amendment before us today will ensure that families receive the 
support they need, that the U.S. Government will have a coordinated and 
coherent hostage policy, and that the position of Special Envoy for 
Hostage Affairs will be permanently codified in law, and it authorizes 
sanctions against those who engage in hostage-taking.
  Madam Speaker, I thank the many bipartisan cosponsors of this 
amendment for recognizing that we have no higher national security 
responsibility than the protection of Americans.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the distinguished 
gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Gonzalez).
  Mr. GONZALEZ of Ohio. Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of my 
amendment No. 151 that is included in this en bloc amendment.
  This amendment is based on my bipartisan bill, H.R. 5051, the 
Accountability for World Bank Loans to China Act that I introduced with 
my colleague, Mr. Heck.
  In recent decades, China has worked to take advantage of 
international institutions like the World Bank, often in opposition to 
U.S. interests.
  Today, China is one of the largest economies in the world and is also 
one of the largest creditors to developing nations. Despite that, China 
still receives funding under the World Bank IBRD program, even though 
China has exceeded IBRD's gross national income threshold for 
graduation from the program.
  In other words, the United States' contributions to the World Bank 
help finance Chinese infrastructure projects, including in Zhejiang. 
This has to stop.
  This amendment would require the U.S. director at the IBRD to pursue 
the graduation of China and, until China graduates, prioritize projects 
in China that contribute to the global public good.
  Additionally, this amendment requires the Treasury Department to 
report to Congress on the level of indebtedness of countries receiving 
assistance through the Belt and Road Initiative that are also 
beneficiaries of international financial institutions.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the 
gentlewoman from New York (Mrs. Carolyn B. Maloney).
  Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York. Madam Speaker, I rise today in 
support of this amendment, which contains my bill to crack down on 
terrorism financing and the illicit use of anonymous shell companies, 
called the Corporate Transparency Act.
  This is one of the most pressing national security problems we face 
in our country because anonymous shell companies are the vehicles of 
choice for money launderers, criminals, and terrorists. Unfortunately, 
the United States is the world's capital of anonymous shell companies.
  Madam Speaker, my bill would correct this by requiring companies to 
disclose their true beneficial owners to the Financial Crimes 
Enforcement Network, or FinCEN. This information would only be 
available to law enforcement and financial institutions so they can 
comply with know-your-customer rules that were strengthened after 9/11.

  Madam Speaker, I have been working on this bill for over 10 years, 
and it would plug a huge hole in our national security defense. It 
would also be the single most important anticorruption reform in 
decades.
  Madam Speaker, I thank Chairwoman Waters for her steadfast support, 
as well as Congressman Cleaver and my Republican partners, Congressmen 
King and Blaine Luetkemeyer.
  Madam Speaker, I urge a ``yes'' vote.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the distinguished 
gentleman from Florida (Mr. Bilirakis).
  Mr. BILIRAKIS. Madam Speaker, I thank the ranking member for yielding 
me the time.
  Madam Speaker, I rise in favor of my amendment, which is included in 
the en bloc package.
  My amendment builds upon the successes of the East Med Act, signed 
into law last year, by taking steps to increase the United States 
rotational deployments to Greece and diplomatic ties with Greece, 
Cyprus, and Israel--the trilateral agreement.
  In an increasingly unstable region, and with Turkey making a decisive 
turn from the West, the United States needs to focus on strengthening 
our bonds with our reliable allies in the region. This amendment sends 
a strong message of deterrence to Turkey as it attempts to undermine 
the sovereignty of our friends in the Eastern Mediterranean.
  Madam Speaker, I urge passage of this amendment.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the 
gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Cunningham).
  Mr. CUNNINGHAM. Madam Speaker, I rise in support of Representative 
Palazzo's and my bipartisan amendment, which would ensure that the 
National Guard servicemembers aiding in our response to COVID-19 have 
the care that they have earned when they return home.
  Under current law, National Guard soldiers and airmen on Federal 
orders are entitled to 6 months of transitional health coverage after 
they are demobilized. However, the servicemembers activated in response 
to the coronavirus are not eligible.
  This amendment, which is identical to my bill, the Support Our 
National Guard Act, would expand this important benefit to the over 
45,000 National Guard servicemembers serving on the front lines of this 
pandemic. These brave men and women are sacrificing to ensure our 
Nation overcomes this unprecedented crisis, and they deserve our 
unconditional support.
  Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join me in honoring our 
obligation to our National Guard and vote in support of this amendment.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the distinguished 
gentleman from Arizona (Mr. Gosar).
  Mr. GOSAR. Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of my amendment, 
floor amendment No. 154 of the NDAA.
  Currently, the United States relies on China for 20 different 
critical minerals, which includes several rare earth materials defined 
by the Department of Defense.
  Rare earth materials are used in numerous modern technologies, 
including missile guidance, control systems, lasers for enemy mine 
detection, satellite communications, radar, and sonar on submarines, to 
name a few. Any interruption of rare earth exports from China would 
drastically impact defense manufacturing, American economic growth, and 
overall combat readiness.
  Madam Speaker, as a producer of nearly 80 percent of the world's rare 
earth materials, China wields considerable leverage against our country 
and its allies and did so with Japan earlier. My amendment would direct 
the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment to issue 
guidance that ensures the elimination of the United States dependency 
on rare earth materials from China by fiscal year 2035.
  This very same amendment was made in order last year and passed by 
voice; however, it was not included in the final conference report.
  Madam Speaker, I strongly urge adoption of my amendment.
  Madam Speaker, I include in the Record an article from Department of 
Energy Secretary Dan Brouillette.

                     [From the Hill, July 20, 2020]

        A Safe, Prosperous Nation Requires Secure Supply Chains

                          (By Dan Brouillette)

       The coronavirus pandemic opened Americans' eyes to the 
     vulnerability of our supply chains and our over-reliance on 
     critical goods from foreign nations. Many people suddenly 
     realized, at the height of the pandemic, that the important 
     medical products we urgently needed--like masks and 
     ventilators--were coming from abroad.
       And it is not just medical products. We are dependent on 
     countries that are not reliable trading partners for 
     automotive parts, electronics, pharmaceuticals, and even 
     naturally occurring materials like uranium and critical 
     minerals.
       The United States must take strong action to secure our 
     most critical supply chains, and, predominantly through 
     research and development, the Department of Energy (DOE) is 
     playing an important role in the Trump administration's 
     efforts to do just that. Three areas of recent focus, in 
     which DOE is striving to reduce import reliance, are critical 
     minerals, uranium, and critical infrastructure components.
       Critical minerals, including rare earth elements (REEs), 
     are used in electronic products like smart phones, computer 
     and TV

[[Page H3500]]

     screens, and LED lights. But they are also needed to build 
     important defense systems like aircraft and guidance systems, 
     make batteries, and refine crude oil. Currently, the United 
     States imports more than half of the annual consumption of 
     nearly all critical minerals, and we rely on China for 80 
     percent of REEs. Our lack of domestic supply for these 
     minerals is an economic security threat we must take 
     seriously.
       DOE is developing solutions to our critical mineral 
     challenges by finding ways to diversify supply, develop 
     substitutes, and drive recycling and reuse of critical 
     minerals and REEs. One promising project will test the 
     economic viability of extracting these minerals from our coal 
     reserves in Appalachia and the western basins. Our research 
     shows that there may be as much as 10 million tons of 
     critical minerals in these reserves. Another effort underway 
     involves using a highly absorbent material to capture 
     lithium--a key component in batteries--from the working fluid 
     used in geothermal power production. And there are numerous 
     other ongoing projects which we believe in time will greatly 
     reduce America's reliance on foreign-sourced critical 
     minerals and REEs.
       After decades of neglect, the U.S. commercial nuclear 
     sector is at risk of insolvency. Meanwhile, other nations, 
     notably Russia and China, are moving to advance their nuclear 
     capabilities and export their technology to gain increased 
     geopolitical influence. If we are to regain our place as a 
     world leader in nuclear technology, we must start at the 
     beginning of the nuclear fuel cycle and start mining and 
     converting uranium on a wide scale again.
       The element uranium not only fuels 95 civilian reactors, 
     providing about 20 percent of U.S. electricity each year, it 
     powers the U.S. Navy's fleet of nuclear submarines and 
     aircraft carriers. Despite its importance, the United States 
     currently relies on imports for 90 percent of its uranium.
       Our lack of a significant domestic uranium supply chain 
     threatens energy reliability and national security.
       To reverse this trend and reinvigorate the entire nuclear 
     energy industry, DOE recently unveiled the Nuclear Fuel 
     Working Group's ambitious ``Strategy to Restore American 
     Nuclear Energy.'' An important component of the working 
     group's strategy is boosting domestic uranium mining and 
     conversion. To that end, the working group recommended, and 
     the president's 2021 budget included, funding to establish a 
     domestic uranium reserve. Like the Strategic Petroleum 
     Reserve, the domestic uranium reserve will boost the domestic 
     uranium mining industry, support strategic nuclear fuel cycle 
     capabilities, and provide critical assurance of uranium 
     availability in the event of a market disruption.
       Finally, we must secure our Nation's Bulk Power System 
     (BPS) supply chain from the threat of foreign interference. 
     The BPS includes power substations that transmit electricity 
     to the distribution system before it reaches homes and 
     businesses, and the automated industrial control systems that 
     are used in water treatment facilities and manufacturing 
     operations. Our BPS may be vulnerable to malicious advanced 
     cyberattacks by countries like Russia, Iran, and China, 
     threatening the backbone of our nation's electric power grid.
       To meet the challenge, President Trump recently signed an 
     executive order directing DOE to lead an interagency effort 
     aimed at eliminating vulnerabilities within the existing 
     system and developing policies to keep it safe for years to 
     come. The first important action we will take is to prohibit 
     future use of BPS equipment from any country or individual 
     deemed a foreign adversary by our national security experts, 
     the failure of which would pose a risk to the safety of 
     Americans. The department will also review federal energy 
     infrastructure procurement to ensure that safeguarding 
     national security is at the foundation of our policies.
       A safe, prosperous nation requires secure supply chains. 
     The Department of Energy is leading the way in protecting our 
     economic and national security by advancing the Trump 
     administration's policies to produce more critical minerals 
     and REEs, uranium supplies, and BPS components within the 
     United States' borders.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the 
gentlewoman from California (Ms. Matsui).
  Ms. MATSUI. Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of this en bloc 
motion that contains a bipartisan amendment that I led with 
Representatives McCaul, Eshoo, Stefanik, Stevens, Joyce, and Katko to 
help reinforce U.S. technological leadership.
  As the global economy becomes more interconnected, it is essential 
that the United States maintains the ability to produce the hardware 
that our high-tech economy depends on.
  Semiconductors are fundamental components of our phones, medical 
devices, and the future of our quantum computing. This amendment 
authorizes $1.2 billion for research and development that allows our 
domestic industry to continue to innovate and thrive.
  Madam Speaker, I thank Representative McCaul for working with me on 
this amendment and our CHIPS Act, and I urge my colleagues to support 
this motion.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the distinguished 
gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Buck).
  Mr. BUCK. Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of amendment No. 58 
to the National Defense Authorization Act and to alert America to a 
serious national security threat.
  The Chinese Communist Party is using TikTok to collect massive 
amounts of data from American citizens and our government that could be 
used in a cyberattack against our Republic.
  We must take action to protect our Nation and stop the Chinese 
Communist Party's efforts to undermine our national security. That 
starts by passing my commonsense amendment to ban TikTok on all 
government-issued technology devices. The clock is ticking.
  Madam Speaker, I urge adoption of the amendment.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my 
time.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Madam Speaker, I have no further requests for this en 
bloc package. I urge its support, and I yield back the balance of my 
time.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I 
may consume.
  Madam Speaker, I encourage my colleagues to support the en bloc 
package, as well as the NDAA upon final passage, and I yield back the 
balance of my time.
  Mr. CARSON of Indiana. Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of the 
National Defense Authorization Act (NODA) and my amendment which 
authorizes five million dollars for a pancreatic cancer early detection 
initiative (EDI) at the Department of Defense (DoD). Pancreatic cancer 
has the lowest survival rate of all major cancers--in large part due to 
lack of research in early detection. I believe we all agree that the 
patients, families, friends, and loved ones suffering from this disease 
deserve greater support.
  My amendment will provide critical funding needed for more research 
and an early detection initiative (EDI) under the Congressionally 
Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP) at DoD. I am pleased that 
the Appropriations Defense Subcommittee has already appropriated ten 
million dollars for general pancreatic cancer research funding in this 
year's funding legislation. This is an increase of four million dollars 
from the previous year, and I am thankful to the Defense Subcommittee, 
especially Chairman Visclosky, for their leadership on this issue. 
While encouraging, this general research increase is not enough to 
close the gap in early detection of pancreatic cancer. We should do 
more, especially now.
  On Friday, this issue hit painfully close to home as America lost a 
giant to pancreatic cancer. Rep. John Lewis, our civil rights hero and 
Conscience of the Congress, passed away from pancreatic cancer only 
seven months after receiving his diagnosis. My amendment is inspired by 
Rep. Lewis' courageous fight against pancreatic cancer. It is 
unacceptable that, despite being the third leading cause of cancer-
related death in our country, pancreatic cancer still does not have a 
dedicated early detection initiative. Rep. Lewis' short battle against 
pancreatic cancer is, sadly, often the norm for patients. In fact, the 
lack of research in ways to detect pancreatic cancer early has led to 
devastating consequences: sixty-six percent of patients live less than 
one year following their diagnosis. I am also inspired by my friend and 
colleague, Rep. Alcee Hastings, who is fighting pancreatic cancer.
  If diagnosed early, the five-year survival rate for pancreatic cancer 
patients is above eighty percent. However, if pancreatic cancer is 
detected late, the five-year survival rate drops to less than five 
percent. By failing to support our nation's researchers with the means 
to find new ways to detect pancreatic cancer early, we are leaving 
America's pancreatic cancer patients with few ways to detect this 
disease in time to extend the quality and duration of their lives. Rep. 
Lewis' struggle against this horrific disease should serve as a 
sobering reminder of the human cost of failing to support early 
detection for pancreatic cancer.
  It's important to note that persistent health care inequities and 
disparities for communities of color compound the devastation of 
pancreatic cancer and the effects of lack of early detection research. 
Unfortunately, Blacks are more likely than their fellow Americans to 
get pancreatic cancer. In fact, the incidence rate for pancreatic 
cancer among Black Americans is twenty percent higher than any other 
racial demographic. This disease is more deadly for us: the pancreatic 
cancer death rate is seventeen percent higher for Black men than White 
men. Significant evidence demonstrates that these disproportionate 
levels of pancreatic

[[Page H3501]]

cancer are in large part rooted in disparities in health care and 
access to tests and diagnostics. As a result, the lack of pancreatic 
cancer early detection research accelerates the racial unfairness in 
our health care system, with devastating consequences for minorities.
  At a time when our country is having a national conversation about 
the deep disparities in access to health care for Black and Brown 
people during a global pandemic, Congress must do everything within our 
power to improve health outcomes through research and treatment. 
Providing dedicated funding for early detection research at DoD will 
help fill a critical gap in our pancreatic cancer research and will 
help address the pancreatic cancer disparities for communities of 
color.
  I urge the House to support this amendment.
  Mr. CONNOLLY. Madam Speaker, I rise today to offer an amendment to 
the FY2021 National Defense Authorization Act that would permanently 
authorize the teleworking program of the U.S. Patent and Trademark 
Office.
  Since its launch, the program has significantly expanded the agency's 
teleworking capacity, while saving millions of taxpayer dollars.
  In fiscal 2019 alone, the telework program generated over $123 
million in savings, including avoided real estate costs and increased 
productivity, which generated $52 million and $49 million in savings, 
respectively.
  The current coronavirus pandemic has solidified the need to invest in 
and support telework opportunities for federal agencies.
  This amendment would enable thousands of federal employees to 
continue using this program and USPTO to continue saving millions of 
taxpayer dollars.
  I thank my colleague Mr. Hice who was a co-sponsor with me on this 
provision.
  Ms. ESHOO. Madam Speaker, I rise in support of several important 
provisions in H.R. 6395, the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National 
Defense Authorization Act/or Fiscal Year 2021 (NOAA) that I authored or 
cosponsored, as well as amendments to the bill. This legislation will 
ensure our country retains its leadership in artificial intelligence 
(Al), cybersecurity, and semiconductor manufacturing.
  NDAA includes several smart provisions authorizing investments in Al 
research and development (R&D). The Global Al Index, which quantifies 
the Al arms race among nations, finds that the U.S. is ahead of China 
today but ``experts predict China will overtake the U.S. in just five 
to 10 years.'' Section 5107 of the NDAA includes my bipartisan and 
bicameral legislation, H.R. 7096, the National Al Research Resource 
Task Force Act, which establishes a task force of experts from 
government, academia, and companies (large and small) to develop a 
roadmap for a national AI research cloud to make available high-powered 
computing, large data sets, and educational resources necessary for AI 
research. The national Al research cloud expands access so that 
American universities and companies can participate in AI R&D.
  My legislation is supported by Chairman Eric Schmidt and Vice 
Chairman Bob Work of the National Security Commission on Al; 12 leading 
public and private research universities, including Stanford, UCLA, 
Princeton, and Ohio State; research and tech nonprofits Mozilla, Open 
AI, and the Allen Institute for Al; standards body IEEE-USA; leading 
technology companies, including Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Oracle, and 
IBM; and startups, including Calypso AI and Scale AI. I thank 
Representatives Anthony Gonzalez and Mikie Sherrill; Senators Portman 
and Heinrich; and the House Committees on Science and Armed Services 
for their partnership in advancing this highly important legislation.
  I'm proud to be a cosponsor of H.R. 6216, the National Artificial 
Intelligence Initiative Act, comprehensive and bipartisan legislation 
which establishes an initiative to accelerate and coordinate 
investments and partnerships in Al research, standards, and education. 
This legislation appears as division E of the base text of NDAA, and it 
is a major investment in our country's future that will pay dividends 
for decades to come.
  The House will consider two Al-related amendments I authored that 
expand reporting requirements for the Joint Artificial Intelligence 
Center (JAIC) of the Department of Defense. Amendment No. 131 requires 
the JAIC to report to Congress on its contribution to the development 
of AI standards in multi-stakeholder bodies. The U.S. must lead 
international and multi-stakeholder standards bodies to ensure our 
democratic and liberal values guide the evolution of AI. Amendment No. 
132, which I offer with Congressman Gonzalez, requires the JAIC to 
report on the assignments servicemembers receive after they complete 
their duty with the JAIC. We need to ensure AI experience is recognized 
and celebrated in the armed services.
  I'm proud to cosponsor Amendment No. 24, offered by my good friend 
Rep. Matsui, based on her bipartisan legislation with Rep. McCaul, the 
CHIPS/or America Act. The amendment will restore American leadership in 
semiconductor manufacturing by increasing incentives to enable advanced 
R&D, which will bolster our country's national security and economic 
competitiveness. I thank Reps. Matsui and McCaul for including, at my 
request, a provision ensuring that small businesses are given 
preference for grants authorized by the legislation, in subsection 
(b)(2)(C)(ii)(III) of the Semiconductor Incentive Grants section.
  Finally, I'm pleased to cosponsor Amendment No. 15, which creates the 
role of the National Cyber Director within the Executive Office of the 
President, based on Rep. Langevin's bipartisan legislation, the 
National Cyber Director Act. Cybersecurity is critically important for 
our national security and economy, and we need a senior official at the 
highest level of the Executive Branch to coordinate how the federal 
government and military are investing to mitigate cyberattacks and 
respond to disruptions in government and the private sector.
  I urge my colleagues to support Amendments No. 131, No. 132, No. 24, 
and No. 15.
  Mr. CONNOLLY. Madam Speaker, I rise today to offer an amendment to 
the FY2021 National Defense Authorization Act which would reform and 
codify the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP).
  This amendment mirrors the bipartisan, House-passed, FedRAMP 
Authorization Act (H.R. 3941), which I coauthored with current White 
House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.
  FedRAMP standardizes security requirements for the authorization and 
ongoing cybersecurity assessments of cloud services for information 
systems across the federal government to help agencies more quickly 
adopt cloud technologies.
  The FedRAMP Authorization Act helps reduce duplication of security 
assessments and other obstacles to agency adoption of cloud products by 
establishing a ``presumption of adequacy'' for cloud technologies that 
have received FedRAMP certification.
  This presumption of adequacy means that the cloud service offering 
has met baseline security standards established by the program and 
should be considered approved for use across the federal government.
  The bill would also facilitate agency reuse of cloud technologies 
that have already received an authorization-to-operate by requiring 
agencies to check a centralized and secure repository and, to the 
extent practicable, reuse any existing security assessment before 
conducting their own.
  The bill requires that GSA work toward automating their processes, 
which will lead to more standard security assessments and continuous 
monitoring of cloud offerings, and increase the efficiency for 
providers and agencies.
  The bill establishes a Federal Secure Cloud Advisory Committee to 
ensure dialogue among GSA, agency cybersecurity and procurement 
officials, and industry for effective and ongoing coordination in 
acquisition and adoption of cloud products by the federal government.
  Finally, the bill authorizes the program at $20 million annually, 
providing sufficient resources to increase the number of secure cloud 
technologies available for agency adoption.
  We have worked with the Office of Management and Budget, GSA, 
industry stakeholders, and our minority counterparts to ensure that the 
bill makes needed improvements in the FedRAMP program and gives the 
program flexibility to grow and adopt to future changes in cloud 
technologies .
  In 2019, 13 agencies reported to GAO that they achieved at least $291 
billion in savings from increasing their investments in cloud 
technologies. I hope we can continue to advance the bipartisan Fed RAMP 
Authorization Act to reform and codify a vital program many agencies 
rely upon to provide secure cloud computing solutions, a fundamental 
component of many IT modernization efforts.
  Mr. CONNOLLY. Madam Speaker, I rise today to offer an amendment to 
the FY2021 National Defense Authorization Act that would clarify that 
both subcontractors and subgrantees who provide protected disclosures 
of federal waste, fraud, and abuse are protected from retaliation.
  This provision closes a loophole in federal whistleblower protection 
laws.
  The amendment is particularly important for agencies that engage in 
significant grant activities, like the Department of Education, which 
provides grants to state-level agencies who then provide subgrants to 
local governments.
  Sometimes it's teachers and school administrators who are in the best 
position to tell federal leaders where and how federal dollars are 
misspent.
  This language ensures that those with information on the waste, 
fraud, or abuse of federal funding report it--and that those who are

[[Page H3502]]

brave enough to report such wrongdoing are protected from retaliation.
  I thank my colleague Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick for cosponsoring this 
amendment.
  Mr. CONNOLLY. Madam Speaker, I rise today to offer an amendment to 
the FY2021 National Defense Authorization Act which would reaffirm the 
United States' commitment to promoting global health security.
  This amendment is nearly identical to the text of the bipartisan 
Global Health Security Act (H.R. 2166), which passed the House Foreign 
Affairs Committee unanimously and was included in the House-passed 
HEROES Act (H.R. 6800).
  At a time when decisive leadership and robust federal coordination is 
sorely needed to combat the global COVID-19 pandemic, this amendment 
would reestablish the government-wide lead for pandemic response by 
creating a U.S. Coordinator for Global Health Security that should be 
located at the National Security Council.
  The amendment establishes an Interagency Review Council charged with 
implementing U.S. commitments under the Global Health Security Agenda 
and sets important metrics for global health security planning.
  The amendment also requires a global health security strategy that 
helps other countries strengthen their health care systems and detect 
and mitigate outbreaks early.
  I want to thank my colleagues: Steve Chabot, Rick Larsen, Brian 
Fitzpatrick, Ami Bera, and Ann Wagner for cosponsoring this amendment 
with me.
  Mr. CONNOLLY. Madam Speaker, I rise today to offer an amendment to 
the FY2021 National Defense Authorization Act which would ensure that 
no U.S. servicemember with a felony-level domestic violence conviction 
is able to legally purchase firearms.
  This simple, bipartisan amendment would codify existing Department of 
Defense policy which requires DOD to report to the National Instant 
Criminal Background Check System (NICS) servicemembers who are 
prohibited from purchasing firearms.
  The DOD Inspector General found that DOD has failed consistently to 
report domestic violence convictions--4 in 5 domestic violence cases 
examined (86 percent) were not properly reported to the FBI or NICS.
  One of the domestic abusers the DOD failed to report to the FBI was 
Devin Kelley, who entered a house of worship in Sutherland Springs, TX 
in November 2017, and killed 27 people with the guns he should have 
been prohibited from purchasing under current law.
  Codifying this reporting requirement gives it more teeth and will 
help Congress in its oversight of these important public safety 
measures that DOD is failing to implement.
  I want to thank my colleagues, Peter King, Mike Turner, and Jennifer 
Wexton, for cosponsoring this amendment with me.
  Mr. McHENRY. Madam Speaker, I rise in opposition to the gentlewoman 
from New York's amendment.
  The amendment being considered today is a new small business mandate 
on the smallest businesses in America. It will require some of the 
smallest businesses in this country, those with fewer than 20 employees 
and those with less than $5 million in receipts, to file annually a 
list of all of their owners with the Financial Crimes Enforcement 
Network, or FinCEN.
  But who or what is FinCEN? I bet most of America has never heard of 
FinCEN, let alone those in the House office buildings.
  It is a little-known agency here in Washington that deals with 
financial crimes, in the Treasury Department.
  Now, imagine you are a small business owner. You are getting a notice 
from the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network mandating that you 
disclose the owners of your entity. This would be the first consumer-
facing intelligence bureau that we would have in the Federal 
Government.
  This amendment would require small business owners and small business 
investors to submit their personal information to a new Federal 
database without adequate privacy protections. This new Federal 
database will be accessible to law enforcement without a warrant and 
without a subpoena, a disturbing violation of due process, in my view.
  This new Federal database has the fewest civil liberties protections 
of any Federal intelligence bureau database. It is a lower standard of 
accountability than what Congress provides in the PATRIOT Act, which 
largely targets foreign actors.
  In addition, according to the National Federation of Independent 
Business, this amendment would also add more than $5.7 billion in new 
regulatory costs for America's small businesses. At a time when small 
businesses are struggling to stay afloat, this amendment would only add 
to America's small business burdens.
  Supporters of the amendment are calling for these changes without any 
direct evidence to justify the mandate. There is plenty of anecdote, 
but no data.
  In the months leading up to the House's consideration of this bill 
last October, I sought data from the intelligence bureau called FinCEN 
and from the Treasury Department, along with the Department of Justice, 
to better understand the need for this legislation. They provided none.
  They gave anecdotes of very scary stories to try to compel me as a 
legislator to vote for what is a very specific threshold in law and a 
very specific new small business mandate.
  I refused then to legislate based off of anecdotes. I refuse now to 
legislate off of anecdotes. I would like to have hard data. My 
questions have not been answered by FinCEN, the Treasury Department, or 
the Department of Justice.
  We have no information on how beneficial ownership information will 
be protected. We do not have information on how the privacy of small 
businesses will be preserved.
  We don't have information on how many law enforcement agencies will 
have access to the database, how many financial institutions will have 
access to the database, or what threshold for amount of sales and the 
number of employees will yield the most effective outcome.
  Like H.R. 2513, this amendment has a threshold of $5 million of 
revenue and under, and 20 employees and under. We have no data to 
understand whether this is the right threshold for either the dollar 
amount or the number of employees.
  We will have stories, and we will have Members come to the House 
floor telling us stories of bad actors, but that is anecdote. That is 
not data to provide for this threshold. If we are going to have such an 
encroachment on America's personally identifiable information of small 
businesses across this country, shouldn't we have solid data? I believe 
so.
  I believe we have a number of issues that need to be dealt with to 
make this amendment sustainable and provide protections for civil 
liberties.
  I believe that combating illicit finance is a nonpartisan issue that 
all Members want to address. Yet, our actions must be thoughtful and 
data-driven.
  A strong example of this is H.R. 2514, the COUNTER Act, which is 
included in this amendment. In committee, we came together in support 
of H.R. 2514, which was introduced by the gentleman from Missouri (Mr. 
Cleaver) and the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Stivers).
  H.R. 2514 is a compilation of bipartisan policies that modernize and 
reform the Bank Secrecy Act and anti-money laundering regimes. It 
balances security and privacy. It was a strong bipartisan bill. It 
provides the Treasury Department and other Federal agencies with the 
resources they need to help catch bad actors.
  It's disappointing though that Democrats chose to combine these two 
bills for the sole purpose of driving up votes for their new mandate 
impacting millions of small businesses and jeopardizing civil 
liberties.
  I would be remiss if I did not thank my colleagues on the other side 
of the aisle for listening to some of our concerns on the Republican 
side of the aisle. We will have some Republican Members who vote for 
this amendment. I, however, will not.
  The encroachment on the question of civil liberties, the lack of 
separation of powers, the lack of the use of a subpoena, and the lack 
of regulatory relief for those who are collecting this data, both in 
terms of small businesses and financial institutions, has not been 
fixed nor dealt with in this amendment.
  In particular, prior to floor consideration of H.R. 2513 last 
October, I filed an amendment with the Rules Committee that would 
provide greater certainty for small businesses and for community banks 
by repealing the customer due diligence rule. The CDD rule requires 
financial institutions to collect similar data that is being required 
in this bill. Moreover, the Republican motion to recommit offered to 
H.R. 2513 would have required law enforcement to obtain a subpoena. 
Both attempts to strengthen the bill at the time were rejected.
  The amendment that we are considering today to H.R. 6395 contains the 
same flaws as H.R. 2513.
  To that end, I believe these issues still merit a more thoughtful 
solution that doesn't treat legitimate small businesses as collateral 
damage, like the bill and this amendment does.
  I will continue trying to work with the amendment's sponsor to fix 
these issues.
  Until then, I am opposed to this amendment.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. All time for debate has expired.
