       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Since a truce in 1962 ended skirmishes between the 
     People's Republic of China and India, 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 the People's Republic of China and India 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's 
     military--
       (A) reportedly amassed 5,000 soldiers; and
       (B) is trying to redraw long-standing settled boundaries 
     through the use of force and aggression.
       (4) On June 6, 2020, the People's Republic of China and 
     India reached an agreement of de-escalate 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 weekslong standoff in Eastern Ladakh, 
     which is the de facto border between India and the People's 
     Republic of China.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) there is significant concern about the continued 
     military aggression by the Government of the People's 
     Republic of China along its border with India and in other 
     parts of the world, including with Bhutan, in the South China 
     Sea, and with the Senkaku Islands, as well as the Government 
     of the People's Republic of China's aggressive posture toward 
     Hong Kong and Taiwan; and
       (2) the Government of the People's Republic of China should 
     work toward de-escalating the situation along the Line of 
     Actual Control with India through existing diplomatic 
     mechanisms and not through force.

     Bank and United Nations anti-money-laundering effort, 
     estimates that between $20 billion to $40 billion has been 
     lost to developing countries annually through corruption.
       (2) In 2014, more than $480 million in corruption proceeds 
     hidden in bank accounts around the world by former Nigerian 
     dictator Sani Abacha and his co-conspirators was forfeited 
     through efforts by the Department of Justice.
       (3) In 2010, the Department of Justice established the 
     Kleptocracy Asset Recovery Initiative, to work in partnership 
     with Federal law enforcement agencies to forfeit the proceeds 
     of foreign official corruption and, where appropriate, return 
     those proceeds to benefit the people harmed by these acts of 
     corruption and abuse of office.
       (4) Of the $20 billion to $40 billion lost by developing 
     countries annually through corruption, only about $5 billion 
     has been repatriated in the last 15 years.
       (5) Governments weakened by corruption and loss of assets 
     due to corruption have fewer resources to devote to the fight 
     against terrorism and fewer resources to devote to building 
     strong financial, law enforcement, and judicial institutions 
     to aid in the fight against the financing of terrorism.
       (6) The United States has a number of effective programs to 
     reward individuals who provide valuable information that 
     assist in the identification, arrest, and conviction of 
     criminal actors and their associates, as well as seizure and 
     forfeiture of illicitly derived assets and the proceeds of 
     criminal activity.
       (7) The Internal Revenue Service has the Whistleblower 
     Program, which pays awards to individuals who provide 
     specific and credible information to the IRS if the 
     information results in the collection of taxes, penalties, 
     interest or other amounts from noncompliant taxpayers.
       (8) The Department of State administers rewards programs on 
     international terrorism, illegal narcotics, and transnational 
     organized crime with the goal of bringing perpetrators to 
     justice.
       (9) None of these existing rewards programs specifically 
     provide monetary incentives for identifying and recovering 
     stolen assets linked solely to foreign government corruption, 
     as opposed to criminal prosecutions or civil or criminal 
     forfeitures.
       (10) The recovery of stolen assets linked to foreign 
     government corruption and the proceeds of such corruption may 
     not always involve a BSA violation or lead to a forfeiture 
     action. In such cases there would be no ability to pay 
     rewards under existing Treasury Department authorities.
       (11) Foreign government corruption can take many forms but 
     typically entails government officials stealing, 
     misappropriating, or illegally diverting assets and funds 
     from their own government treasuries to enrich their personal 
     wealth directly through embezzlement or bribes to allow 
     government resources to be expended in ways that are not 
     transparent and may not either be necessary or be the result 
     of open competition. Corruption also includes situations 
     where public officials take bribes to allow government 
     resources to be expended in ways which are not transparent 
     and may not be necessary or the result of open competition. 
     These corrupt officials often use the United States and 
     international financial system to hide their stolen assets 
     and the proceeds of corruption.
       (12) The individuals who come forward to expose foreign 
     governmental corruption and kleptocracy often do so at great 
     risk to their own safety and that of their immediate family 
     members and face retaliation from persons who exercise 
     foreign political or governmental power. Monetary rewards can 
     provide a necessary incentive to expose such corruption and 
     provide a financial means to provide for their well-being and 
     avoid retribution.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that a 
     Department of the Treasury stolen asset recovery rewards 
     program to help identify and recover stolen assets linked to 
     foreign government corruption and the proceeds of such 
     corruption hidden behind complex financial structures is 
     needed in order to--
       (1) intensify the global fight against corruption; and
       (2) serve United States efforts to identify and recover 
     such stolen assets, forfeit proceeds of such corruption, and, 
     where appropriate and feasible, return the stolen assets or 
     proceeds thereof to the country harmed by the acts of 
     corruption.

   DIVISION F--STOPPING TRAFFICKING, ILLICIT FLOWS, LAUNDERING, AND 
                              EXPLOITATION

     SEC. 6001. SHORT TITLE.

       This division may be cited as the ``Stopping Trafficking, 
     Illicit Flows, Laundering, and Exploitation Act of 2020'' or 
     the ``STIFLE Act of 2020''.

     SEC. 6002. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds the following:
       (1) Trafficking is a national-security threat and an 
     economic drain of our resources.
       (2) As the U.S. Department of the Treasury's recently 
     released ``2020 National Strategy for Combating Terrorist and 
     Other Illicit Financing'' concludes, ``While money 
     laundering, terrorism financing, and WMD proliferation 
     financing differ qualitatively and quantitatively, the 
     illicit actors engaging in these activities can exploit the 
     same vulnerabilities and financial channels.''.
       (3) Among those are bad actors engaged in trafficking, 
     whether they trade in drugs, arms, cultural property, 
     wildlife, natural resources, counterfeit goods, organs, or, 
     even, other humans.
       (4) Their illegal (or ``dark'') markets use similar and 
     sometimes related or overlapping methods and means to 
     acquire, move, and profit from their crimes.
       (5) In a March 2017, report from Global Financial 
     Integrity, ``Transnational Crime and the Developing World'', 
     the global business of transnational crime was valued at $1.6 
     trillion to $2.2 trillion annually, resulting in crime, 
     violence, terrorism, instability, corruption, and lost tax 
     revenues worldwide.

     SEC. 6003. GAO STUDY.

       (a) Study.--The Comptroller General of the United States 
     shall carry out a study on--
       (1) the major trafficking routes used by transnational 
     criminal organizations, terrorists, and others, and to what 
     extent the trafficking routes for people (including 
     children), drugs, weapons, cash, child sexual exploitation 
     materials, or other illicit goods are similar, related, or 
     cooperative;
       (2) commonly used methods to launder and move the proceeds 
     of trafficking;
       (3) the types of suspicious financial activity that are 
     associated with illicit trafficking networks, and how 
     financial institutions identify and report such activity;
       (4) the nexus between the identities and finances of 
     trafficked persons and fraud;
       (5) the tools, guidance, training, partnerships, 
     supervision, or other mechanisms that Federal agencies, 
     including the Department of the Treasury's Financial Crimes 
     Enforcement Network, the Federal financial regulators, and 
     law enforcement, provide to help financial institutions 
     identify techniques and patterns of transactions that may 
     involve the proceeds of trafficking;
       (6) what steps financial institutions are taking to detect 
     and prevent bad actors who are laundering the proceeds of 
     illicit trafficking, including data analysis, policies, 
     training procedures, rules, and guidance;
       (7) what role gatekeepers, such as lawyers, notaries, 
     accountants, investment advisors, logistics agents, and trust 
     and company service providers, play in facilitating 
     trafficking networks and the laundering of illicit proceeds; 
     and
       (8) the role that emerging technologies, including 
     artificial intelligence, digital identity technologies, 
     blockchain technologies, virtual assets, and related 
     exchanges and online marketplaces, and other innovative 
     technologies, can play in both assisting with and potentially 
     enabling the laundering of proceeds from trafficking.
       (b) Consultation.--In carrying out the study required under 
     subsection (a), the Comptroller General shall solicit 
     feedback and perspectives to the extent practicable from 
     survivor and victim advocacy organizations, law enforcement, 
     research organizations, private-sector organizations 
     (including financial institutions and data and technology 
     companies), and any other organization or entity that the 
     Comptroller General determines appropriate.
       (c) Report.--The Comptroller General shall issue one or 
     more reports to the Congress containing the results of the 
     study required under subsection (a). The first report shall 
     be issued not later than the end of the 15-month period 
     beginning on the date of the enactment of this Act. The 
     reports shall contain--
       (1) all findings and determinations made in carrying out 
     the study required under subsection (a); and
       (2) recommendations for any legislative or regulatory 
     changes necessary to combat trafficking or the laundering of 
     proceeds from trafficking.

       This subtitle may be cited as the ``Leveraging Information 
     on Foreign Traffickers Act'' or the ``LIFT Act''.

     SEC. 1282. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the annual Trafficking In Persons Report prepared by 
     the Department of State pursuant to the Trafficking Victims 
     Protection Act of 2000 (the ``TIP Report'') remains one of 
     the most comprehensive, timely, and important sources of 
     information on human trafficking in the world, and currently 
     includes 187 individual country narratives;
       (2) in January 2019, the statute mandating the TIP Report 
     was amended to require that each report must cover efforts 
     and activities occurring within the period from April 1 of 
     the prior year through March 31 of the current year, which 
     necessarily requires the collection and transmission of 
     information after March 31;
       (3) ensuring that the Department of State has adequate time 
     to receive, analyze, and incorporate trafficking-related 
     information into its annual Trafficking In Persons Report is 
     important to the quality and comprehensiveness of that 
     report;
       (4) information regarding prevalence and patterns of human 
     trafficking is important for understanding the scourge of 
     modern slavery and making effective decisions about where and 
     how to combat it; and
       (5) United States officials responsible for monitoring and 
     combating trafficking in persons around the world should 
     receive available information regarding where and how often 
     United States diplomatic and consular officials encounter 
     persons who are responsible for, or who knowingly benefit 
     from, severe forms of trafficking in persons.

       (1) maternal Mortality, and the racial disparities in the

     challenge to our Nation that requires a strong and uniform 
     response across all parts of our society, including the 
     military;
       (2) the Defense Department should be acknowledged for the 
     efforts it has begun to address concerns about maternal 
     mortality and severe morbidity among service members and 
     dependents;
       (3) State maternal mortality review committees, which 
     involve a multidisciplinary group of experts including 
     physicians, epidemiologists, and others, have made 
     significant advancements in identifying, characterizing, and 
     providing a deeper understanding of the circumstances 
     surrounding each maternal death, which can be helpful in 
     designing effective public health responses to prevent future 
     such deaths;
       (4) key to the work of such review committees is 
     transparent, consistent, and comprehensive data collection 
     regarding maternal deaths, the use of effective methods to 
     ensure confidentiality protections and de-identification of 
     any information specific to a reviewed case, information 
     sharing with relevant stakeholders including access to the 
     CDC's National Death Index data and State death certificate 
     data;
       (5) the Defense Department is encouraged to continue to 
     work to establish a maternal mortality review committee which 
     would conduct reviews of each death of a service member or 
     dependent during pregnancy or childbirth involving a 
     multidisciplinary group of experts including physicians, 
     epidemiologists, patient advocates, civilians with experience 
     with maternal mortality review committees and reviews of 
     maternal mortality records, and other experts;

     SEC. __. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE ENERGY EMPLOYEES 
                   OCCUPATIONAL ILLNESS COMPENSATION PROGRAM.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation 
     Program Act (EEOICPA) was enacted as part of the Fiscal Year 
     2001 Defense Authorization Act (Public Law 106-398) to ensure 
     fairness and equity to the civilian men and women who, since 
     the commencement of the Manhattan Project, have performed 
     duties uniquely related to the nuclear weapons production and 
     testing programs of the Department of Energy (DOE) and its 
     predecessor agencies and were made ill from exposure to toxic 
     substances related to such work;
       (2) as part of EEOICPA, Congress provided for a system of 
     efficient, uniform, and adequate compensation and health care 
     to assist the defense nuclear workers who were employed by 
     the DOE, its contractors, and certain private vendors;
       (3) as part of reforms to this program enacted as part of 
     the Fiscal Year 2005 Defense Authorization Act (Public Law 
     108-375), Congress created the Office of the Ombudsman for 
     the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation 
     Program (although such Office is within the Department of 
     Labor, the Office of the Ombudsman is independent of the 
     other officers and employees of the Department of Labor 
     engaged in activities related to the administration of the 
     provisions of EEOICPA);
       (4) the Office of the Ombudsman provides guidance and 
     assistance to claimants navigating the claims application 
     process and prepares an annual report to Congress with--
       (A) the number and types of complaints, grievances, and 
     requests for assistance received by the Ombudsman during the 
     preceding year; and
       (B) an assessment of the most common difficulties 
     encountered by claimants and potential claimants during the 
     preceding year;
       (5) claimants rely on the Office of the Ombudsman in the 
     Department of Labor to provide impartial advice and guidance 
     in navigating what can be a challenging claims process, and 
     its operations should be continued;
       (6) Congress has reauthorized the Office of the Ombudsman 
     on a bipartisan basis as part of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act on multiple occasions, including most 
     recently in the Fiscal Year 2020 Defense Authorization Act 
     (Public Law 116-48); and
       (7) the Office of the Ombudsman is critical to the 
     successful implementation of EEOICPA.

     institutions, including through the contributions and 
     insights of Taiwan nationals; and
       (3) Taiwan nationals who seek employment at the 
     international financial institutions should not be held at a

     instruct the United States Executive Director at each 
     international financial institution to use the voice and vote 
     of the United States to seek to ensure that Taiwan nationals 
     are not discriminated against in any employment decision by 
     the institution, including employment through consulting or 
     part-time opportunities, on the basis of--
       (1) whether they are citizens or nationals of, or holders 
     of a passport issued by, a member country of, or a state or 
     other jurisdiction that receives assistance from, the 
     international financial institution; or
       (2) any other consideration that, in the determination of 
     the Secretary, unfairly disadvantages Taiwan nationals with 
     respect to employment at the institution.
       (b) International Financial Institution Defined.--In this 
     section, the term ``international financial institution'' has 
     the meaning given the term in section 1701(c)(2) of the 
     International Financial Institutions Act.
       (c) Waiver Authority.--The Secretary of the Treasury may 
     waive subsection (a) for not more than 1 year at a time after

     the Senate that providing the waiver--
       (1) will substantially promote the objective of equitable 
     treatment for Taiwan nationals at the international financial 
     institutions; or

     SEC. 1260. SOUTHEAST ASIA STRATEGY.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) Southeast Asia is the fulcrum of the Indo-Pacific 
     region, providing both a geographic and maritime link between 
     East and South Asia.
       (2) The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), a 
     regional intergovernmental organization, remains central to 
     the Indo-Pacific region's institutional architecture and to 
     United States foreign policy toward the region.
       (3) The United States has reaffirmed that the security and 
     sovereignty of its Southeast Asian allies and partners, 
     including a strong, independent ASEAN, remain vital to the 
     security, prosperity, and stability of the Indo-Pacific 
     region.
       (4) The United States has committed to continuing to deepen 
     longstanding alliances and partnerships with a range of 
     Southeast Asian nations, including by promoting our shared 
     values, democracy, human rights, and civil society.
       (5) Since the end of the Second World War, United States 
     investments in strengthening alliances and partnerships with 
     Southeast Asian nations have yielded tremendous returns for 
     United States interests, as working with and through these 
     alliances and partnerships have increased the region's 
     capacity and capability to address common challenges.
       (6) ASEAN member states are critical United States security 
     partners in preventing violent extremism and protecting the 
     freedom and openness of the maritime domain and in preventing 
     the trafficking of weapons of mass destruction.
       (7) ASEAN member states have contributed significantly to 
     regional disaster monitoring and management and emergency 
     response through initiatives such as the ASEAN Coordinating 
     Centre for Humanitarian Assistance on Disaster Management, an 
     inter-governmental organization that facilitates coordination 
     and cooperation among ASEAN member states and international 
     organizations in times of emergency.
       (8) According to the 2018 ASEAN Business Outlook Survey, 
     ASEAN member states are vital to the prosperity of the United 
     States economy and exports to ASEAN economies support more 
     than 500,000 jobs in the United States.
       (9) The United States and ASEAN have recently celebrated 
     the 40th anniversary of their ties and established a new 
     strategic partnership that will enhance cooperation across 
     the economic, political-security, and people-to-people 
     pillars of the relationship.
       (b) Statement of Policy.--It is the policy of the United 
     States to--

     in the interest of promoting peace, security, and stability 
     in the Indo-Pacific region;

     mechanisms in the evolving institutional architecture of the 
     Indo-Pacific region; and

     States;

       (C) the mutual interests of all parties;
       (D) the concrete and material benefits all nations derive 
     from strong United States engagement and leadership in 
     Southeast Asia; and
       (E) efforts to forge and maintain ASEAN consensus, 
     especially on key issues of political and security concern to

     ASEAN.--

  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. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the 
gentleman from New York (Mr. Engel).
  Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, I thank the chairman for yielding to me.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of the amendment that we passed 
already, but I wanted to give my strong support for it.
  Earlier this year, despite opposition from Congress and our allies, 
the administration withdrew from the treaty. I don't think that was the 
right thing to do.
  When it comes to Putin and when it comes to Russia, we have much 
reason to be afraid of moves that Putin is always plotting and 
planning. I think the Open Skies Treaty was a good treaty, and I think 
it was a big mistake to pull out of it.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the distinguished 
gentleman from California (Mr. Garcia).
  Mr. GARCIA of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of my 
amendment, No. 217, which would direct the National Oceanic and 
Atmospheric Administration to establish a dedicated center for 
artificial intelligence.


 =========================== NOTE =========================== 

  
  July 20, 2020, on page H3576, the following appeared: gentleman 
from California (Mr. Garcia). Mr. GARCIA of California. Mr. 
Speaker,
  
  The online version has been corrected to read: gentleman from 
California (Mr. Garcia). Mr. GARCIA of California. Mr. Speaker,


 ========================= END NOTE ========================= 


  NOAA's AI strategy works to expand the application of AI in every 
NOAA mission area by improving the efficiency, effectiveness, and 
coordination of AI development and usage across the agency. Passage of 
this amendment will enable NOAA to utilize AI for further support of 
partners in wildfire detection and movement, which is so critical to my 
California 21st District.
  Mr. Speaker, last year, my district was devastated by the Woolsey and 
Tick fires, and we saw the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library 
surrounded by flames. Our community remains at significant risk for 
wildfires.
  Establishing a center for artificial intelligence at NOAA, among 
other proactive measures, will be vital in improving the agency's 
wildfire detection efforts. This asset will help ensure firefighters 
and communities have the tools they need to track and fight wildfires 
effectively.
  Passage of this amendment is an essential step in the right direction 
to protecting California.
  Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman from Pennsylvania for working 
across the aisle with me on this important amendment.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the 
gentlewoman from Virginia (Ms. Spanberger).
  Ms. SPANBERGER. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of amendment 358, 
directing the Secretary of Defense along with the Secretary of 
Agriculture to review the potential to incorporate innovative wood 
products in constructing or renovating facilities owned or managed by 
the Department of Defense.
  Earlier this year, I chaired a hearing of the Subcommittee on 
Conservation and Forestry on the topic of innovative wood products and 
their potential contributions. As our witnesses noted, innovative wood 
products can offer a range of options for construction that address 
mission-readiness, sustainability, carbon sequestration, and provide 
high-paying jobs in rural communities across the community, including 
in central Virginia.
  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague, Mr. Austin Scott, for coauthoring 
this amendment, as well as the House Committee on Armed Services for 
their support.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the distinguished 
gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Keller).
  Mr. KELLER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of my amendment 198 
to the National Defense Authorization Act.
  For too long, our supply chain, including critical defense materials, 
has been overly reliant on resources located and produced within the 
People's Republic of China under the absolute control of the Chinese 
Communist Party.
  One area of supply crucial to the United States is tungsten. These 
materials are used in critical defense products like penetrators, 
artillery shells, projectiles, and tank shells.
  The fiscal year 2019 NDAA prohibited certain materials from being 
acquired from China and other non-allied nations, including some 
tungsten materials. While this was a step in the right direction, we 
need to do more to support tungsten manufacturing right here at home.
  At latest count, China controls over 80 percent of tungsten mining in 
the world and remains by far the world's leading producer of tungsten. 
As it does with other things, China uses its supply dominance to 
manipulate the global market.
  Given what has been exposed about China's intentions during COVID-19, 
and with China's growing military influence throughout the world, it is 
clear that we need to ensure domestic production of this critical 
material.
  Mr. Speaker, that is why, going forward, the United States and our 
allies will no longer have to rely on foreign sources, especially 
China, for any of our tungsten supply.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentleman has expired.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, I yield an additional 30 seconds to the 
gentleman from Pennsylvania.
  Mr. KELLER. Mr. Speaker, this amendment would direct the Secretary to 
prioritize domestic procurement of this critical material so we can 
strengthen our vital industrial base and improve American national 
security.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge all Members to support my amendment.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the 
gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. Jackson Lee).
  Ms. JACKSON LEE. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman very much for 
yielding.
  Endorsed by the Human Rights First, my amendment No. 182 is an answer 
to what has been the opposite of the Confederate statues; that is, to 
direct the military to look at outstanding African Americans to 
determine the viability and the availability of naming military 
installations and covered defense property after historic African 
Americans who fought in every war since the Revolutionary War.

  Mr. Speaker, I am delighted to have Bennie Thompson, William Lacy 
Clay,   Gregory Meeks, A. Donald McEachin, Marc Veasey, Sanford Bishop, 
Andre Carson, and Jahana Hayes joining me on this amendment. Let me 
also say there is a long list of those who could be named.
  I am offering, as well, Jackson Lee amendment 179 and ask for its 
support.

[[Page H3577]]

It takes up the Cyberspace Solarium Commission report to secure our 
emails. That is a very endangered species, if you will.
  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleagues, Congressmen Langevin, Gallagher, 
Katko, and Joyce, for joining me in this bipartisan amendment.
  Mr. Speaker, amendment No. 183 is clearly important to women in the 
United States military. Triple-negative breast cancer, 10 to 20 percent 
of breast cancer tests negative, this amendment provides $10 million 
for that.
  Also, we know how many of our soldiers are impacted by PTSD. Jackson 
Lee amendment No. 181 provides $2.5 million for PTSD research, 
something that I have been working on for more than a decade. I 
organized a PTSD center in my district outside of the veterans hospital 
that was funded by TRICARE.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentlewoman has expired.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I yield an additional 30 
seconds to the gentlewoman from Texas.
  Ms. JACKSON LEE. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman very much for 
yielding.
  Mr. Speaker, let me also indicate the Jackson Lee amendment No. 180, 
which is very important, directs the Secretary of Defense to determine 
the national security threat posed by domestic terrorist groups.
  We have been working on this with Homeland Security, and we have been 
embracing Armed Services. We thank them for their leadership.
  This is not about violating someone's civil rights or due process. It 
deals with these individuals who have gone into Black Lives Matter and 
other peaceful protests to instigate activities that are violent, 
including the killing of officers. I ask my colleagues to support them.
  Mr. Speaker, finally, I am going to continue the work for National 
Guard for COVID-19 in my district because, obviously, Texas is 
suffering, with 300,000 cases and thousands of people dead. We need our 
National Guard for testing.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to support this amendment.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise to speak in strong support of the Chairman En 
Bloc Amendment No. 2, including all the Jackson Lee Amendments made in 
order for consideration of the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021
  I thank Chairman Smith and Ranking Member Thornberry and their staffs 
for working with me and my staff and including these Jackson Lee 
Amendments.
  I offer my appreciation and thanks to Ranking Member Thornberry, for 
his service to this body as the Chair of the Armed Services Committee 
and now as Ranking Member of that Committee.
  His even handed and balanced leadership of the Committee the support 
of the current Chair of the Committee Chairman Smith is laudable and 
noteworthy.
  I offered several amendments to H.R. 6395 to improve the bill.
  I thank the Rules Committee under the leadership of Chairman McGovern 
for the inclusion of the following Jackson Lee Amendments:
  Jackson Lee Amendment 180 in the Rule directs the Secretary of 
Defense to report to Congress the extent, if any, of the threat to 
national security posed by domestic terrorist groups and organizations 
motivated by a belief system of white supremacy, such as the Boogaloo 
and Proud Boys extremists.
  As a senior member of the Committees on the Judiciary and on Homeland 
Security I have in the past and with increasing alarm, raised concerns 
over the role that Boogaloo and Proud Boys have played in bringing an 
element of violence into the otherwise peaceful protests following the 
death of George Floyd.
  The violence seen during the recent national movement to end the 
deaths of unarmed black men while in police custody is not the start of 
these violent activities associated with Boogaloo movement or Proud 
Boys activity.
  The threat posed by accelerationists and militia extremists-a range 
of violent anti-government actors, movements, and organizations, some 
of which spring from discredited but decades-old ideologies and others 
which are relatively new has led to violent engagement of law 
enforcement.
  These varied threats range from decentralized and leaderless 
accelerationist networks using social media platforms, such as the 
Boogaloo movement, to more structured, far-right militia extremist 
groups.
  The ideologies undergirding these movements or groups have some 
similarities to other anti-government and white supremacist beliefs but 
are often not tied to a single, monolithic ideology.
  In addition, in many cases, their adherents' decentralized and coded 
use of digital tools poses unique challenges for law enforcement and 
government officials to identify and track their activity.
  These developments in domestic terrorism, as reported in the media 
and government intelligence reports--coupled with recent arrests and 
successful violent attacks carried out by ``Boogaloo boys'' and militia 
extremists--are troubling.
  One of my major concerns is that as the nation moves toward a 
historic national election, the activity of violence influencers like 
Boogaloo Boys or Proud Boys will increase and lead to attacks becoming 
more frequent.
  Mr. Speaker, a little background in order to place in perspective the 
need for the Jackson Lee Amendment No. 180.
  As reported in the Washington Post, on May 29, 2020, in Oakland, 
California, a white van pulled up outside a federal courthouse while 
protestors were gathered peaceably to protest the killing of George 
Floyd earlier that month by officers of the Minneapolis Police 
Department.
  But on that day in Oakland, a door slid open, and a man peppered the 
two security officers outside with bullets, killing one and wounding 
the other.
  For a little over a week, the crime was a mystery.
  Was it related to the protests just blocks away?
  It was not. The answer came on June 17, 2020, when federal 
authorities identified the man, an Air Force Staff Sgt. who was an 
adherent of the ``boogaloo boys,'' a growing online extremist movement 
that has sought to use peaceful protests against police brutality to 
spread fringe views and ignite a race war.
  Federal investigators allege that is exactly what the shooter was 
trying to do last month, to ignite a race war.
  Mr. Speaker, this nation fought a bloody Civil War over 160 years 
ago; we surely do not want to go down that path again.
  Make no mistake, neither this amendment nor anyone of goodwill has 
any purpose, interest, or desire in stifling or limiting the legitimate 
First Amendment and other constitutional rights of any person.
  I have devoted my entire congressional career to expanding civil and 
human rights for all.
  But in 2018, we saw too many instances of violent, not peaceful, 
extremists searching for opportunities to sow violence and disrupt 
democratic processes.
  Boogaloo and Proud Boys are targeting constitutionally protected 
activity for cooption or to provide cover for attacks.
  Jackson Lee Amendment #180 direct the Secretary of Defense to submit 
a report to Congress that will provide valuable insight into activities 
associated with Boogaloo and Proud Boys.
  To be clear, this amendment is concerned only with groups or entities 
with a known history of violence or have a history of engaging in 
violent activity directed at the United States government; it is not 
intended to cover any other group or provide a justification for 
investigating groups whose mission, purpose, and activities to date 
have been peaceful and non-violent.
  And as this legislative measure proceeds, I will be working closely 
with my colleagues, administration officials, the ACLU and advocacy and 
public policy groups to ensure that the amendment achieves its intended 
purpose, including working to include additional refinements other and 
conditions if necessary.
  Jackson Lee Amendment 182, directs the Secretary of Defense to report 
on the number of military bases, installations, and facilities that are 
named after African Americans; and directs each Secretary responsible 
for a branch of the military to establish a review process to consider 
the naming of military installations and covered defense property under 
the jurisdiction of that Secretary after African Americans who served 
in the Armed Forces with honor, heroism, and distinction and are 
deserving of recognition.
  I thank my colleagues: Congressmen Bennie Thompson, William Lacy 
Clay, Gregory Meeks, A. Donald McEachin, Marc Veasey, Stanford Bishop, 
Andre Carson, and Johana Hayes for joining as cosponsors of this 
Amendment.
  In every war waged from the Battle of Lexington to the Battle for 
Fallujah, African Americans have honorably answered the call to duty, 
and served with valor and distinction in America's armed forces.
  At decisive moments in our nation's history, the United States 
military and its citizen warriors, were there and made the difference.
  Our thanks to the military for being always ready to answer the call 
of duty--whether that call comes in the dead of night or the light of 
day--we know that we can count on you.
  The fact that military bases have been named after Confederate 
military leaders or

[[Page H3578]]

soldiers is hard to imagine given that they were fighting to end the 
United States.
  The Confederacy was not something that should be held up for honor by 
the United States or our nation's military.
  There is no shortage of honorable replacement candidates to receive 
the honor of having a military base, installation or facility named in 
their honor.
  General Robinson was a 1951 graduate of West Point who attended the 
service academy before the Army was desegregate. Robinson served in 
Korea and Vietnam, with valor decorations in both conflicts, and as a 
training officer as part of the U.S. military support mission in 
Liberia. He went on to become the first black commander of the 82nd 
Airborne Division, deputy chief of staff for operations in U.S. Army 
Europe, commander of U.S. Forces Japan, the U.S. representative on the 
NATO Military Committee, and the first black four-star general in the 
Army.
  William Carney was the first African American recipient of the 
Congressional Medal of Honor, which he received for his actions on July 
18, 1863 at Fort Wagner, SC while a member of the 54th Massachusetts 
Regiment in the Civil War--the state's first all-black regiment.
  The 54th Massachusetts was the subject of the film, ``Glory,'' 
starring Denzel Washington and Morgan Freeman.
  Lieutenant Colonel Charity Edna Adams was appointed to lead the 
African-American Women's Army Corps unit designated as the 6888th 
Central Postal Directory Battalion, which became known as the ``Six 
Triple Eight.''
  This unit was instrumental in establishing and maintaining morale 
because it assured that mail from the battlefront and the home-front 
flowed efficiently and timely.
  In 1964, Margaret E. Bailey, Army Nurse Corps, was the first nurse to 
be promoted to lieutenant colonel.
  Dorie Miller, Messman First Class was Serving in a noncombat role in 
the Navy, Dorie Miller responded heroically when the battleship West 
Virginia was attacked at Pearl Harbor. He was the first African 
American to be awarded the Navy Cross, the third highest honor awarded 
by the US Navy at the time.
  Admiral Michelle Howard is a four star Admiral and one of the 
highest-ranking African American women ever to serve in any branch of 
the military. Admiral Howard is also the first African American woman 
to command a U.S. Navy ship, the USS Rushmore.
  She is the Navy's second highest ranking officer and is currently 
serving as the commander of U.S. Naval Forces Africa, commander of U.S. 
Naval Forces Europe and commander of Allied Joint Force Command Naples.
  In 2012, Lieutenant Colonel Kimbrell became the first female African-
American fighter pilot in the Air Force history. Her flights in 
Northern Watch marked her as the first female pilot to fly combat 
missions for Misawa's 35th Fighter Wing, and the first African-American 
woman to employ ordinance in combat. She has more than 1,110 hours in 
the F-16, including 176 hours of combat time.
  Colonel Lucas was the first African American woman in the Air Force 
to be promoted to the rank of colonel. At the time of her retirement in 
1970, she was the highest-ranking African American woman in the Air 
Force.
  In 1959 General Benjamin O. Davis became the first African-American 
Major General in the United States Air Force. In 1943, he organized and 
commanded the 332nd Fighter Group known as the Tuskegee Airmen. General 
Davis received many decorations during his career, including two 
Distinguished Service Medals and a Silver Star. On December 9, 1998, 
General Davis was awarded his fourth general's star by President Bill 
Clinton .
  Chief Petty Officer Haley is best known for writing letters for his 
shipmates and his short stories and articles, which got him promoted to 
Chief Journalist of the Coast Guard in 1959. Haley ultimately received 
a number of military honors, including the American Defense Service 
Medal, World War II Victory Medal and an honorary degree from the Coast 
Guard Academy. And most of you know him also as the author of 
``Roots.''
  In 1957, Captain Bobby Wilks became the first African American Coast 
Guard aviator. He later became the first African American to reach the 
rank of Captain and the first to command a Coast Guard air station. He 
accumulated over 6,000 flight hours in 18 different types of aircrafts.
  Twenty-five percent of the today's military is comprised of persons 
of color, of which 17.8% are African American.
  In 2017, blacks made up 17% of the DOD active-duty military--somewhat 
higher than their share of the U.S. population ages 18 to 44 (13%). 
Blacks have consistently been represented in greater shares among 
enlisted personnel (19% in 2015) than among the commissioned officers 
(9%).
  Jackson Lee Amendment 179 implements a recommendation made by the 
Cyberspace Solarium Commission to require the Secretary of Homeland 
Security to develop a strategy to implement Domain-based Message 
Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance (DMARC) standard across 
U.S.-based email providers.
  I thank my Colleagues Congressmen Langevin, Gallagher, Katko, and 
Joyce for joining this bipartisan amendment to the FY 2021 NOAA.
  Internet's underlying core email protocol, Simple Mail Transport 
Protocol (SMTP), was first adopted in 1982 and is still deployed and 
operated today.
  However, this protocol is susceptible to a wide range of attacks 
including man-in-the-middle content modification and content 
surveillance.
  The security of email has grown in importance as it has become in 
many ways the primary way that businesses, consumers, government 
communicate.
  This amendment would enact through the NDAA recommendations of the 
Cyberspace Solarium Commission.
  The Commission's 75 recommendations are organized under six pillars:
  (1) Reform the U.S. Government's Structure and Organization for 
Cyberspace;
  (2) Strengthen Norms and Non-Military Tools;
  (3) Promote National Resilience;
  (4) Reshape the Cyber Ecosystem toward Greater Security;
  (5) Operationalize Cybersecurity Collaboration with the Private 
Sector; and
  (6) Preserve and Employ the Military Instrument of Power.
  This amendment presents an opportunity to take a significant step 
forward in establishing a cybersecurity ecosystem that reinforces a 
cultural shift in how the Federal government enforces norms that 
sustain cybersecurity.
  Ransomware, spyware, and botnet exploits use the untraceable nature 
of email to wreak havoc and commit crimes.
  I firmly believe that there is a means of assuring the privacy, and 
security of email communications that are on par with the privacy and 
security of physical mail delivery, and that this amendment is an 
important first step in that direction.
  Jackson Lee Amendment 183, in the Rule provides authorization for a 
$10 million increase in funding for increased collaboration with NIH to 
combat Triple Negative Breast Cancer.
  As a Member of Congress, a mother, a sister and a spouse, and a 
breast cancer survivor, I feel a special responsibility to do all I can 
to ensure every American can win in the fight against all types of 
breast cancer but especially triple negative breast cancer (TNBC).
  About 10-20% of breast cancers test negative for both ; hormone 
receptors and HER2 in the lab, which means they are triple-negative.
  What is Triple Negative Breast Cancer?
  The term triple negative breast cancer refers to the fact that this 
form of breast cancer will test negative, which means that each of the 
test will return negative results for the presence of breast cancer for 
three types of breast cancer test: Estrogen receptor; Progesterone 
receptor; and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 or the HER2 test 
will be negative.
  To understand triple-negative breast cancer, it's important to 
understand receptors, which are proteins found inside and on the 
surface of cells.
  These receptor proteins are the ``eyes'' and ``ears'' of the cells, 
receiving messages from substances in the bloodstream and then telling 
the cells what to do.
  Hormone receptors inside and on the surface of healthy breast cells 
receive messages from the hormone's estrogen and progesterone.
  The hormones attach to the receptors and provide instructions that 
help the cells continue to grow and function well.
  Most, but not all, breast cancer cells also have these hormone 
receptors.
  Roughly 2 out of 3 women have breast cancer that tests positive for 
hormone receptors.
  A smaller percentage of breast cancers--about 20-30%--have too many 
HER2 receptors. In normal, healthy breast cells, HER2 receptors receive 
signals that stimulate their growth.
  With too many HER2 receptors, however, breast cancer cells grow and 
divide too quickly.
  Hormonal therapies and HER2-targeted therapies work to interfere with 
the effects of hormones and HER2 on breast cancer, which can help slow 
or even stop the growth of breast cancer cells.
  Since hormones are not supporting its growth, the cancer is unlikely 
to respond to hormonal therapies.
  Triple-negative breast cancer also is unlikely to respond to 
medications that target HER2.
  In addition, triple-negative breast cancer: Tends to be more 
aggressive than other types of breast cancer.
  Five-year survival rates also tend to be lower for triple-negative 
breast cancer.
  Triple Negative Breast Cancer tends to be higher grade than other 
types of breast cancer.

[[Page H3579]]

  Studies have shown that triple-negative breast cancer is more likely 
to spread beyond the breast and more likely to recur (come back) after 
treatment.
  These risks appear to be greatest in the first few years after 
treatment.
  For example, a study of more than 1,600 women in Canada published in 
2007 found that women with triple-negative breast cancer were at higher 
risk of having the cancer recur outside the breast--but only for the 
first 3 years.
  Other studies have reached similar conclusions.
  As years go by, the risks of the triple-negative breast cancer 
recurring become similar to those risk levels for other types of breast 
cancer.
  In 2013, the American Cancer Society Surveillance and Health Services 
Institute estimated that 27,060 black women would be diagnosed with the 
illness.
  The rate of breast cancer is 10% lower in African American women than 
white women--it is the type of breast cancer (Triple Negative) that 
African American women contract that is alarming.
  Because African American women are diagnosed in greater numbers with 
Triple Negative Breast Cancer, we have a five year survival rate of 78% 
after diagnosis as compared to 90% for white women.
  The incidence rate of breast cancer among women under 45 is higher 
for African American women compared to white women.
  Triple Negative Breast Cancer: Accounts for between 13% and 25% of 
all breast cancer in the United States; Onset is at a younger age; Is 
more aggressive; and Is more likely to metastasize.
  Currently, 70% of women with metastatic triple negative breast cancer 
do not live more than five years after being diagnosed.
  African American women are 3 times more likely to develop triple-
negative breast cancer than White women.
  African-American women have prevalence TNBC of 26% vs. 16% in non-
African-Americans women
  Five-year Survival Rates
  The key to beating this cancer is not just early detection--but 
detection period.
  A 2007 study of more than 50,000 women with all stages of breast 
cancer found that 77% of women with triple-negative breast cancer 
survived at least 5 years, versus 93% of women with other types of 
breast cancer.
  Another study of more than 1,600 women published in 2007 found that 
women with triple-negative breast cancer had a higher risk of death 
within 5 years of diagnosis, but not after that time period.
The recurrence and survival figures in these and other studies are 
averages for all women with triple-negative breast cancer.
  Factors such as the grade and stage of the breast cancer will 
influence an individual woman's prognosis.
  The higher the grade, the less the cancer cells resemble normal, 
healthy breast cells in their appearance and growth patterns.
  It can feel upsetting and even scary to find out that you have a form 
of breast cancer that (1) is often more aggressive than other types and 
(2) isn't a good candidate for treatments such as hormonal therapy and 
Herceptin.
  But triple-negative breast cancer can be treated with chemotherapy 
and radiation therapy and new treatments--such as PARP inhibitors--are 
showing promise.
  Researchers are paying a great deal of attention to triple-negative 
breast cancer and working to find new and better ways to treat it.
  This is an exceptionally hot area of research in the breast cancer 
field,'' says George Sledge, M.D., medical oncologist and 
Breastcancer.org Professional Advisory Board member.
  There is immense interest among drug developers, pharmaceutical 
companies, and breast cancer laboratory researchers in finding targeted 
therapies for these patients.
  About 15-20 percent of breast cancers are triple negative.
  Triple Negative tumors tend to occur more often in younger women and 
African-American women.
  In studies of U.S. and British women, triple negative breast cancer 
appears to be more common among black women (especially before 
menopause) compared to white women.
  Triple negative breast cancer may also be more common among Hispanic 
women compared to white women.
  Although the reasons for racial/ ethnic differences in rates of 
triple negative breast cancer are not clear, lifestyle factors may play 
a role.
  For example, some findings show African-American women tend to have 
lower rates of breastfeeding compared to other women, which may 
increase the chances of having triple negative breast cancer.
  Certain reproductive and lifestyle factors may protect more against 
ER-positive breast cancers than ER-negative breast cancers, including 
triple negative breast cancers.
  For example, African-American and Hispanic women are more likely than 
white women: Have a younger age at first birth; and maybe be overweight 
or obese before menopause.
  Although these factors lower the risk of breast cancer, this be efit 
may be limited to ER-positive breast cancers.
  So, even though African-American and Hispanic women may be more 
likely than white women to have these protective factors, the factors 
may not lower the risk of triple negative breast cancers.
  There is even some evidence these factors may increase the risk of 
triple negative breast cancers.
  For these and the tens of thousands of survivors and their daughters 
this amendment is needed.
  Jackson Lee Amendment 181 in the Rule provides authorization for $2.5 
million increase in funding to combat post-traumatic stress disorder 
(PTSD).
  According to the NIH, an estimated 3.6% of U.S. adults had PTSD in 
the past year.
  PTSD was first brought to public attention in relation to war 
veterans, but it can result from a variety of traumatic incidents, such 
as torture, being kidnapped or held captive, bombings, or natural 
disasters such as floods or earthquakes.
  People with PTSD may startle easily, become emotionally numb 
(especially in relation to people with whom they used to be close), 
lose interest in things they used to enjoy, have trouble feeling 
affectionate, be irritable, become more aggressive, or even become 
violent.
  They avoid situations that remind them of the original incident, and 
anniversaries of the incident are often very difficult.
  Most people with PTSD repeatedly relive the trauma in their thoughts 
during the day and in nightmares when they sleep. These are called 
flashbacks. A person having a flashback may lose touch with reality and 
believe that the traumatic incident is happening all over again.
  My amendment recognizes that these soldiers are first and, foremost, 
human. They carry their experiences with them.
  Ask a veteran of Vietnam, Iraq, or Afghanistan about the frequency of 
nightmares they experience, and one will realize that serving in the 
Armed Forces leaves a lasting impression, whether good or bad.
  My amendment will help ensure that ``no soldier is left behind'' by 
addressing the urgent need for more outreach toward hard to reach 
veterans suffering from PTSD, especially those who are homeless or 
reside in underserved urban and rural areas of our country.
  I urge my colleagues to support of these Jackson Lee Amendments.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the distinguished 
gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Smith).
  Mr. SMITH of New Jersey. Mr. Speaker, first of all, I thank Mac 
Thornberry for his tremendous and exemplary work in Congress, 
especially for all things related to the military. What a tremendous 
chairman, now serving as ranking member. I thank him for that service.
  Mr. Speaker, last year, I was joined by my friend and colleague, 
Collin Peterson of Minnesota, to offer an amendment to the NDAA to task 
the Pentagon IG to probe whether ticks were ever weaponized with Lyme 
disease or any other dangerous pathogen. Our legislation passed the 
House but died in the Senate. I was told that the IG did not have 
sufficient capacity or bandwidth to investigate.
  So, tonight, the new Smith-Peterson amendment instead tasks the GAO 
with that job.
  Mr. Speaker, for years, books and articles have been written credibly 
asserting that significant research at Fort Detrick, Plum Island, and 
elsewhere was conducted to turn ticks into bioweapons.
  In her book, ``Bitten: The Secret History of Lyme Disease and 
Biological Weapons,'' Kris Newby includes interviews with Dr. Willy 
Burgdorfer, the researcher who is credited with discovering Lyme 
disease. It turns out that Dr. Burgdorfer was a bioweapons specialist.
  The interviews, combined with access to Dr. Burgdorfer's files, 
reveal that he and other bioweapons specialists stuffed ticks with 
pathogens in a quest to cause severe disability, disease, and death.
  Mr. Speaker, with Lyme disease and other tick-borne diseases 
exploding in the United States, an estimated 300,000 to 427,000 new 
cases each year, and 10 to 20 percent of those people with chronic Lyme 
disease, Americans have a right

[[Page H3580]]

to know whether or not any of this is true.
  Mr. Speaker, there are a lot of questions that we ask in the 
amendment, but the most important question of all: Can any of the 
information that might be gleaned from a GAO study help current-day 
researchers find a way to mitigate and, hopefully, cure Lyme disease 
and other tick-borne diseases?
  Mr. Speaker, the amendment tasks GAO to ask the hard questions. I, 
again, thank my good friend for his leadership.

                              {time}  2030

  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the 
gentleman from California (Mr. Sherman).
  Mr. SHERMAN. Mr. Speaker, four amendments, the first delists from 
U.S. stock exchanges companies where a substantial portion of the audit 
is not subject to normal oversight by the PCAOB. This is not an anti-
China amendment, though it will affect companies in China and Belgium.
  As chair of the Investor Protection Subcommittee and co-chair of the 
CPA and Accountants Caucus, it is critical that investors on U.S. stock 
exchanges have the additional protection that is provided by the PCAOB, 
and that should apply to companies in China just as it does to 
companies in Britain, the United States, Canada, et cetera.
  The second amendment is to prevent a nuclear cooperation agreement 
from being entered into with a country that fails to sign the 
additional protocol, which is designed to make sure that their nuclear 
technology is used only for peaceful purposes. This is aimed at Saudi 
Arabia, whose Crown Prince has broadly hinted a desire for nuclear 
weapons.
  I join with Mr. Pallone in an amendment that is aimed at Azerbaijani 
military units that have committed gross human rights violations, and I 
join with Mr. Malinowski in an amendment that is language from my 
manager's amendment to the Uyghur Human Rights Policy Act, which passed 
this House, and that language would prevent U.S. technology from being 
used to imprison over a million Uighurs.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the 
gentleman from Rhode Island (Mr. Langevin), a member of the committee.
  Mr. LANGEVIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of the en bloc package 
and speak in favor of the 11 Cyberspace Solarium Commission-related 
floor amendments that my colleagues and I have offered.
  Created in the fiscal year 2019 NDAA, the Solarium Commission was 
charged with developing a strategic approach to stop cyber incidents of 
significant consequence, and we did so through our strategy of layered 
cyber deterrence. Importantly, we also put forth recommendations on how 
to implement that strategy.
  One of our most important recommendations is the establishment of an 
Office of the National Cyber Director within the Executive Office of 
the President. We need to coordinate across the interagency on a truly 
whole-of-nation strategy. This long-overdue policy change will finally 
be accomplished in this NDAA.
  We also implement a recommendation to clarify the roles and 
responsibilities of sector risk management agencies, and, thanks to 
Congressman Richmond, we will also create a Joint Cyber Planning Office 
at CISA at the Department of Homeland Security to ensure we get ahead 
of incidents before they happen.
  Taken as a whole, these amendments will materially alter our 
cybersecurity posture for the better.
  I am incredibly grateful to all the commissioners of the Cyberspace 
Solarium Commission, particularly to our co-chairs, Mr. Gallagher and 
Senator King, and I look forward to our continuing work.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the 
gentlewoman from Washington (Ms. Schrier).
  Ms. SCHRIER. Mr. Speaker, two of my amendments were included in this 
year's National Defense Authorization Act, and I would like to just 
speak for a moment about their importance.
  First, the Department of Defense transfers surplus equipment like 
hoses, vehicles, and aircraft parts to the U.S. Forest Service to help 
States with firefighting. But this equipment right now is distributed 
on a first-come, first-serve basis and doesn't take into account 
community need or risk.
  My district is seeing increasingly extreme fire events. But 
Washington State does not receive equitable access to this equipment. I 
am asking for an analysis of the program to make sure that equipment 
goes to the places where it is most needed, like Washington State.
  My second amendment supports military spouses, most of whom are 
women, who continue to experience high levels of underemployment and 
unemployment. This unfair treatment happens too often because of 
frequent moves and impermanence in communities and surrounding bases, 
like JBLM in Washington State.
  This amendment will expand opportunities for military spouses in 
fields of education, software, and coding in companies with high levels 
of teleworking to ensure that military spouses are matched with 
fulfilling and successful employment.
  Mr. THORNBERRY. Mr. Speaker, I support en bloc package No. 2, and I 
yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I also support en bloc package 
No. 2, urge a ``yes'' vote, and I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. LYNCH. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of en bloc Amendment No. 2 
which includes three of my amendments, all of which are based on bills 
I have introduced in the House of Representatives.
  The first of these, Amendment No. 237, reauthorizes the Commission on 
Wartime Contracting. This Commission has a proven track record of 
helping us reduce waste and fraud in our overseas operations 
contracting. We are continuing to spend billions of taxpayer dollars in 
reconstruction and other support contracts overseas and we must do all 
we can to ensure that those funds are being spent wisely.
  This en bloc also includes amendment No. 238 which will require the 
declassification of previously public information on the performance 
and readiness of Afghan forces, as well as maps of Afghan Government-
held areas. This data is vital to ensuring mission success and it is a 
disgrace that the Administration is withholding this information from 
the American people.
  My final amendment No. 239, would authorize the Department of the 
Treasury to establish a Kleptocracy Asset Recovery Rewards Program to 
pay rewards that help identify and recover stolen assets linked to 
foreign government corruption.
  Inclusion of these three amendments will strengthen Congressional 
oversight and government transparency, as well as provide vital tools 
with which to combat fraud, waste, and corruption.
  I would like to thank Chairman Smith and Ranking Member Thornberry 
for including these amendments in this en bloc amendment.
  Mr. SMITH of New Jersey. Mr. Speaker, as the proud representative of 
two Navy bases in NJ, I come to the floor today to offer an amendment 
that addresses one of the most serious threats to our Navy and sailors: 
North Korean & Iranian mini-submarines.
  Today, Mr. Speaker, we have no realistic training to defend U.S. 
carriers & other ships from this threat.
  A Los Angeles-class submarine captain told me how he lost sleep over 
the two-man, diesel-electric mini-submarines that can lie on the bottom 
of waterways undetected.
  Decades ago, North Korea secretly purchased a mini-sub from a German 
company, and reproduced copies for itself and Iran, which also began 
reproducing copies.
  That the same German-designed mini-sub has a twin--today owned by a 
small American company in my district, and is available to help train 
U.S. sailors to detect such weapons.
  My amendment proposes a $15 million investment to use this American-
owned mini-submarine for detection training, a project that has the 
support of numerous current and former Navy personnel.
  Mr. YOUNG. Mr. Speaker, I rise to support Amendment No. 402, as part 
of En Bloc Package 2, to H.R. 6395, the William M. (Mac) Thornberry 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021. This amendment 
addresses and corrects a regulatory mismatch of the manner in which a 
small passenger vessel that operates in Southeast Alaska is measured. 
Specifically, the M/V Liseron (United States official number 971339), a 
converted minesweeper that conducts overnight passenger cruises in the 
eco-tourism trade in Southeast Alaska, should be classified as the same 
regulatory tonnage for licensing its crew as is used for its safety 
inspection category, and the other vessels in the same trade.

[[Page H3581]]

  By way of background, the motor vessel Liseron was built in a U.S. 
shipyard in Tacoma, WA, in the early 1950's as one of a class of seven 
minesweepers under the auspices of the U.S. Navy for the French but was 
subsequently reacquired by the Navy in 1955. It was constructed to 
navigate shallow waters of bays, coastlines, and inlets having a 
shallow draft, which is why it makes for the perfect vessel to operate 
in Southeast Alaska. Specifically, the M/V Liseron is 145 feet long and 
28 feet wide with a draft of 8.5 feet. Later delisted by the Navy, The 
Boat Company in Port Orchard, WA, acquired and restored the vessel in 
the late 1980's. After an extensive 16-month restoration in the late 
1980's in a U.S. shipyard facility in Tarpon Springs, FL, where the 
vessel was gutted and refitted, this vessel was placed into service in 
the early 1990's as an eco-tourism vessel in Southeast Alaska. The 
vessel's operations have a significant economic impact in both 
Washington State, where it is homeported in the off season, and Alaska. 
Its operations during the cruising season in Southeast Alaska bring 
significant job opportunities and needed economic activity in local 
businesses by the company and its customers. The vessel enables 
tourists from around the world to come and enjoy the fishing and 
unparalleled scenic and natural beauty that Alaska has to offer.
  Operationally, the M/V Liseron has ten staterooms and is limited to 
about 20 passengers. More critically, the vessel is currently inspected 
by the Coast Guard as a small passenger vessel in the 100 gross 
regulatory tonnage category. Notwithstanding that, the vessel has a 
larger tonnage entered on its certificate of inspection. This larger 
tonnage is due to the arcane nature of the U.S. vessel admeasurement 
laws, rules that govern the volumetric size of vessels. Larger 
competitor vessels can be 238 feet in length and carry 100 passengers, 
i.e., nearly 100 feet longer and 5 times the number of passengers, yet 
they are considered to be in the smaller 100 GT small passenger vessel 
category for both licensing and inspection purposes.
  Needless to say, the M/V Liseron has an equity disparity as the 
vessel must compete with similar or larger vessels in the eco-tourism 
trade. While the vessel is inspected and regulated for all safety 
purposes in a lower tonnage category, due to the higher tonnage rating 
entered on its certificate of inspection, the M/V Liseron must source 
crew from seafarers with deep water credentials (i.e., 500 GT) rather 
than for the shallower and protected waters of Southeast Alaska.
  The inequity is underscored by the fact that the M/V Liseron 
physically can fit within the volumetric profile of its competitors. 
That is, it is smaller, but the rules say it should be assigned a 
measurement of being larger. This is a classic example of the 
matryoshka principle. Further, the vessel carries far fewer passengers 
than its competitors. This seems to be a regulatory mismatch and 
creates the inequitable situation where a physically larger vessel that 
carries five times the number of passengers is determined to be smaller 
for crew licensing. And this mismatch results in the M/V Liseron to 
have its master and chief mate with a license in a much higher tonnage 
category. The amendment corrects this inequity and regulatory anomaly. 
This legislation prohibits the M/V Liseron from undergoing any 
alteration of its size. It also limits the operation while carrying 
passengers to inland waters of the United States so it will not go on 
deep sea oceangoing cruises. Further the Coast Guard may require a 
licensed crew member to have additional credentials in a justifiable 
case if the experience and training of the individual warrant it. 
Consequently, there is no reason why the smaller M/V Liseron that 
carries far fewer passengers must have a crew licensed in a larger 
tonnage category.
  Under the current situation, a higher turnover for the master and 
first mate occurs because these mariners with the larger 500 GT 
licenses, which are more appropriate for deep water oceangoing vessels, 
leave whenever a deep-water position is available. This is 
understandable from their point of view. These 500 GT qualified crew 
get a larger tonnage license to work on larger seagoing vessels, not a 
smaller vessel operating in the shallow waters of bays, coastlines, and 
inlets in the inland waters of Southeast Alaska. This makes attracting 
500 GT qualified crew that much more difficult. While the rest of the 
crew is stable, these two positions require that new hires undergo 
qualifying to operate the vessel each time these positions turn over 
for these inland waters. If the master and first mate can hold 100 GT 
licenses it will result in less turnover and more appropriately 
experienced personnel that will ultimately contribute to even safer and 
more consistent operation of the vessel. No alteration of the vessel 
itself is proposed nor will the crew size be reduced. Only two 
positions are affected by this legislation.
  Another aspect of the vessel's operations is the economic impact of 
the cancellations due to the COVID-19. The operation of the eco-tourism 
trade in Southeast Alaska is seasonal. As a result, the M/V Liseron has 
lost an entire season of revenue due to cancellations. Continuing an 
artificial barrier such as having to hire crew in a mismatched 
licensing category will only add to the vessel's difficulties to 
recover from this economic loss when they are able to resume 
operations.
  The tragic fire that occurred on board the dive vessel Conception on 
September 2, 2019, has brought additional scrutiny to small passenger 
vessels with overnight accommodations. Almost immediately after that 
fire an official marine investigation was commenced. I understand that 
in addition a criminal investigation is being conducted and will take a 
long time to complete. All of this is appropriate and should be done to 
get at the root of what went wrong on that vessel. As part of the 
safety concerns, the Coast Guard initiated a special Concentrated 
Inspection Campaign (CIC) to review the safety of all small passenger 
vessels with overnight accommodations. On October 8, 2019, the M/V 
Liseron was fully inspected by the Coast Guard as a vessel with 
overnight accommodations as part of this special inspection campaign. I 
understand that the CIC program included a job aid worksheet used by 
the Coast Guard inspectors to evaluate crew operations and procedures 
when inspecting the M/V Liseron and other overnight accommodation small 
passenger vessels. As a result of this special inspection, I understand 
that the Coast Guard confirmed that the vessel passed every aspect of 
its certificate of inspection without exception and for crew 
performance. For passenger safety, the vessel has early warning and 
fire detection alarm systems, ready evacuation routes from each 
passenger cabin onto the main deck, and approved life rafts and vests. 
Having passed this rigorous and special inspection, the M/V Liseron is 
free of any of the issues that plagued the Conception. The change 
brought about by this legislation will not create a vessel construction 
or safety issue.
  I urge all of my colleagues to join me to enact this statutory 
provision permitting the Coast Guard to treat this vessel as less than 
100 gross tons for the purpose of applying the operational regulatory 
measurement under section 14305 of title 46, United States Code, 
provided that nothing is done to change the size of the vessel, the 
cruising with passengers is limited to inland waters, and the Coast 
Guard has authority to prescribe additional credentials as needed for 
the licensed crew. By adjusting the tonnage rating for licensing the M/
V Liseron's crew to be consistent with its safety inspection category, 
the M/V Liseron would be able to hire and retain more appropriate 
experienced crew familiar with Southeast Alaskan waterways and small 
passenger vessel operations, and be regulated the same as other similar 
or larger vessels with which the M/V Liseron must compete.
  Mr. McGovern. Mr. Speaker. I want to thank Armed Services Committee 
Chairman Adam Smith and Ranking Member Thornberry for including my 
bipartisan amendment in this en bloc amendment.
  Mr. Speaker, the whole world is suffering through the terrible 
coronavirus pandemic. More than 14.5 million cases of COVID-19 have 
been confirmed globally, more than 600,000 people have already died, 
and both numbers continue to grow. All of us are witnessing the 
devastating consequences in lost livelihoods and increased food 
insecurity.
  As if that were not enough, some governments are using the pandemic 
as a pretext to infringe on the human rights of their people and to 
grab political power at their expense.
  It's clear that during public health emergencies governments may take 
steps to halt the spread of disease, such as restricting the movement 
of people, closing businesses, and limiting access to public spaces.
  But even during emergencies countries must comply with their human 
rights obligations. That means that emergency measures must meet 
certain criteria like being narrowly tailored, limited in duration, 
non-discriminatory and subject to oversight.
  Yet what we're seeing is that many governments are taking measures 
that do not meet these criteria. We're seeing unjustified restrictions 
on information and freedom of expression that block access to crucial 
information. We're seeing emergency measures that shift power to the 
executive branch and erode democratic checks and balances. And we're 
seeing the use of intrusive surveillance technology without privacy 
safeguards, to name only some of the worst trends.
  The coronavirus pandemic is a human tragedy of enormous scale. To 
allow it to become an excuse for governments to further erode democracy 
and human rights would amplify that tragedy many times over. We must 
not let that happen. The key to recovery is more democracy and respect 
for human rights, not less.
  This amendment authorizes actions to push back on those countries 
that use the pandemic to justify violating human rights. It includes 
reporting on how our government is

[[Page H3582]]

working to counter disinformation about the pandemic, and on the nature 
and impact of the emergency measures countries take that result in 
rights abuses. It authorizes analyzing a country's response to the 
pandemic when determining eligibility for security sector assistance 
and requires the Department of Defense to track whether partner 
security forces have taken advantage of the pandemic to the detriment 
of the civilian population. And it requires the annual Department of 
State Country Reports on Human Rights Practices to include attention to 
the misuse of emergency powers or surveillance technology.
  I'm very grateful for the strong bipartisan support this amendment 
has received from the House Foreign Affairs Committee and the House 
Armed Services Committee. I would like to thank my colleagues who have 
joined me as cosponsors: Rep. Ann Wagner (MO), Rep. Tom Malinowski (D-
NJ), Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), Rep. Gus Bilirakis (F-FL), and Rep. 
Jamie Raskin (D-MD).
  I am also grateful for the support this bipartisan initiative has 
received from a number of well-known and highly respected human rights 
organizations, including the American Jewish World Service, Amnesty 
International USA, the Committee to Protect Journalists, the Council 
for Global Equality, Freedom House, Human Rights First, Human Rights 
Watch, International Center for Not-for-Profit Law, PEN America, 
Project on Middle East Democracy, Tahrir Institute for Middle East 
Policy, the U.S.-Europe Alliance and the Washington Office on Latin 
America.
  Mr. Speaker, this amendment makes clear that the United States 
continues to support the protection of internationally recognized human 
rights, including the freedom of speech and a free press, during and 
after the coronavirus pandemic, and opposes using the coronavirus 
pandemic to justify policies that violate or undermine human rights. I 
ask all my colleagues to support this amendment and En Bloc 2 amendment 
in which it is included.
  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of Amendment No. 
253 offered by House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Eliot Engel 
(NY) and myself. I want to thank Armed Services Chairman Adam Smith 
(WA) and Ranking Member Mac Thornberry (TX) for including this 
amendment in En Bloc Amendment No. 2.
  Mr. Speaker, 39 years ago, in December 1981, the worst massacre in 
modern Latin American history took place in a remote village in El 
Salvador and surrounding communities.
  Known as the El Mozote massacre, it's estimated that between 800-to-
1200 men, women and children were killed by units of the Salvadoran 
military.
  I'm sorry to say that some of the units participating in the 
massacre, in particular the Atlacatl Battalion, were created, trained 
and equipped by the United States.
  I've had the privilege to visit the community of El Mozote. I've 
talked to survivors of the massacre and to relatives whose family 
members were victims of the massacre. I've seen the names of those 
killed on the memorial walls of the church and community square.
  A garden is planted to remember the over 140 children who were 
murdered. The average age is six. But many were so young that their age 
is noted as ``zero'' because they were only infants. It is so very 
difficult, Mr. Speaker, for any of us to contemplate any soldier being 
ordered to murder infants and then being forced to carry out that 
order.
  Over the past two years, a trial has been underway in El Salvador to 
investigate the El Mozote massacre and hold accountable those 
responsible. The presiding judge has asked the United States for any 
and all relevant documents we might have in various agency files.
  Mr. Speaker, this is a very important trial. It is among a handful of 
cases deemed by the Salvadoran Attorney General's Office as cases of 
historical significance. Holding accountable those who ordered, 
commanded and carried out this massacre would be a powerful act in 
breaking the dominant culture of impunity in El Salvador that protects 
from any consequence, judicial or otherwise, those who perpetrate 
violent human rights crimes against Salvadoran civilians.
  Last year, Congress charged the State Department with coordinating a 
government-wide search among all Federal agencies to identify and 
release to Salvadoran judicial authorities, including the presiding 
judge in the El Mozote trial, any and all documents and materials 
relevant to the period surrounding the time of the massacre.
  The McGovern-Engel amendment offered today simply requires the 
Defense Department to do its part and provide these documents to the 
Salvadoran judicial authorities.
  I hope we can count on everyone's support for this amendment. I urge 
my colleagues to vote for this amendment and for En Bloc No. 2 in which 
it is included.
  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I want to thank Armed Services Committee 
Chairman Adam Smith and Ranking Member Thornberry for including my 
bipartisan amendment in this en bloc amendment.
  Mr. Speaker, on October 3, 2016, then Secretary of Defense Carter 
sent a memo to United States military leaders on the subject of 
``Principles Related to the Protection of Medical Care Provided By 
Impartial Humanitarian Organizations During Armed Conflict'' and 
included a statement of principles that had been drafted by military 
and civilian lawyers within the Department of Defense and reflected 
relevant legal principles. Where the principles were not already 
legally binding as a matter of treaty or custom, the memo conveyed 
United States support for recognition of the principles as customary 
international law.
  The memo also conveyed the Secretary's expectation that Department of 
Defense orders and guidance were already consistent with the 
principles. But he nonetheless included a request for a ``prompt review 
of all relevant orders, rules of engagement, directives, regulations, 
policies, practices, and procedures'' to ensure consistency.
  This bipartisan amendment, cosponsored by Rep. Chris Smith of New 
Jersey, requests the results of that review--or, if the review was not 
completed, requires that it be undertaken.
  Mr. Speaker, attacks on health care workers and facilities occur all 
over the world. The Safeguarding Health in Conflict Coalition recently 
reported that in 2019 there were at least 1,203 attacks on health care 
workers, health facilities and health transports in 20 countries in 
conflict around the world. At least 151 health workers died and at 
least 502 were injured as a result of these attacks.
  We know the Department of Defense has sought to be responsive to the 
need to protect health care during conflicts. This amendment affirms 
the importance of United States leadership in ensuring global respect 
and protection for health care workers, their vehicles and equipment, 
and health care facilities. Having the review requested in 2016 will 
contribute to the development of practical guidance for U.S. armed 
forces on the ground.
  I'm very grateful for the bipartisan support this amendment has 
received from the House Foreign Affairs Committee and the House Armed 
Services Committee. I ask all my colleagues to support this amendment 
and En Bloc No. 2 amendment in which it is included.
  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker. I want to thank Armed Services Committee 
Chairman Adam Smith and Ranking Member Thornberry for including my 
bipartisan amendment in this en bloc amendment.
  Mr. Speaker, during the last 20 years journalists, human rights 
organizations and courts in Colombia have repeatedly uncovered evidence 
of unlawful surveillance and intelligence gathering by units of the 
Colombian security forces. This unlawful activity has been directed at 
human rights defenders, journalists, judicial authorities and the 
political opposition. It violates their rights, and may put them in 
mortal danger.
  The problem keeps recurring in spite of reforms like the elimination 
of the Department of Administrative Security, the presidential 
intelligence agency, in 2011, and in spite of major court cases in 
which some of the officials responsible for the abuses were convicted. 
New allegations have emerged this year, including credible claims that 
U.S. security sector assistance may have been misused in the process.
  Colombia is an ally of the United States. The U.S. has invested 
billions of dollars in the country over the last two decades, including 
important investments in security assistance.
  We simply cannot afford for this problem to continue. We need a solid 
understanding of what has gone wrong in order to figure out how best to 
work with the Colombian government to fix it.
  That is why this amendment requires a comprehensive report on any 
involvement by the Colombian government in unlawful surveillance and 
intelligence gathering since 2002. The report incorporates an 
assessment of whether any U.S. security sector assistance was involved, 
as well as a description of the actions taken by U.S. and Colombian 
authorities in response, and recommendations for preventing any 
recurrence going forward. The report will also include a review of 
Colombian security doctrine and training to ensure that intelligence 
operations are conducted consistent with human rights obligations.
  I'm very grateful for the bipartisan support this amendment has 
received from the House Foreign Affairs Committee and the House Armed 
Services Committee. I ask all my colleagues to support this amendment 
and En Bloc 2 amendment in which it is included.
  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I want to thank Armed Services Committee 
Chairman Adam Smith and Ranking Member Thornberry for including my 
bipartisan amendment in this en bloc amendment.
  This amendment, co-sponsored by Representative Jackie Walorski (IN), 
would permanently establish the Wounded Warrior Service Dog Program--a 
lifechanging program which has been a part of the DOD ``Defense Health 
Programs'' at the Uniformed Services

[[Page H3583]]

University of the Health Sciences for the last six years, and has 
consistently received bipartisan support.
  Mr. Speaker, this amendment would ensure the program can continue to 
aid our nation's veterans by awarding grants to nonprofit organizations 
that stand-up, operate, and provide free assistance dogs to veterans 
and service members with physical disabilities, PTSD, or traumatic 
brain injuries.
  I first became passionate about this issue in 2013 when I visited the 
National Education for Assistance Dog Services (NEADS), which is 
located in my district in Princeton, Massachusetts. Service dogs often 
become an integral part of a veteran or servicemember's treatment team 
because they provide both physical and emotional support
  NEADS told me amazing stories about how service dogs are helping 
veterans with physical disabilities, as well as those suffering from 
post-traumatic stress. They are trained to help veterans having a 
seizure, to remind them to take medications, and even to create a 
protective physical barrier in a crowded space.
  Mr. Speaker, this amendment would allow the Wounded Warrior Service 
Dog Program to continue to effectively expand treatment options for our 
veterans and service members around the country.
  I ask all my colleagues to support this amendment and En Bloc 2 
amendment in which it is included.
  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I want to thank Armed Services Committee 
Chairman Adam Smith and Ranking Member Thornberry for including my 
bipartisan amendment in this en bloc amendment.
  Mr. Speaker, the Government of Kuwait owes $677 million to about 45 
U.S. hospitals for care provided to Kuwaiti citizens. These debts are 
from 2018, 2019 and the first quarter of 2020.
  The hospitals affected include some of the finest medical 
institutions in the United States. Six of these are in Massachusetts--
as well as hospitals and medical institutions in California, Texas, 
Ohio, Illinois, New York, Minnesota and elsewhere.
  Our medical facilities have shown great patience with the Government 
of Kuwait, waiting for Kuwait to meet its obligations and make these 
payments. As my colleagues in the House can understand, hospitals 
across the nation are now operating under significant financial stress 
because of the COVID-19 pandemic and these debts are adding to their 
hardship.
  The Kuwaitis say this matter is pending in their parliament. But 
that's what they said last year. And the year before that.
  It is my understanding that the State Department has been 
respectfully trying to resolve this matter, but Kuwait continues to 
drag its feet. This lack of responsiveness and accountability is very 
frustrating, Mr. Speaker. And I hope this bipartisan expression of 
concern might provide a little push towards resolution.
  Let me assure the House that we would not have put forward this 
bipartisan measure if we thought it might bring economic hardship on 
the people of Kuwait. But if you're concerned that $677 million is a 
lot to ask from Kuwait, then you will be relieved to know that the 
Kuwait sovereign fund, under the Finance Ministry, is the 5th largest 
in the world, with assets exceeding $592 billion.
  Mr. Speaker, this bipartisan amendment is very simple: it's a sense 
of Congress that says to the Kuwaitis ``pay your bills.'' That's all we 
ask: Do the right thing and make these outstanding payments to U.S. 
hospitals and medical institutions.
  I'm very grateful for the strong bipartisan support this bipartisan 
amendment has received from the House Foreign Affairs Committee and the 
House Armed Services Committee. I would like to thank my colleagues who 
have joined me as cosponsors: Representatives Stephen Lynch (MA), 
Ayanna Pressley (MA), Bill Keating (MA), Juan Vargas (CA), Lori Trahan 
(MA), Joseph P. Kennedy, III (MA), Tim Ryan (OH), Anthony Gonzalez 
(OH), David Joyce (OH), John Garamendi (CA) and Jimmy Gomez (CA).
  Mr. Speaker, this is a respectful and very measured amendment. We 
hope to signal to Kuwait that this matter has been brought to our 
attention and we are deeply concerned by the amount and detrimental 
impact of these outstanding payments. It is our hope that Kuwait will 
resolve this matter promptly and pay its outstanding debts to American 
hospitals and medical institutions. Should these debts continue to 
linger unresolved, then perhaps next time, Congress will need to 
express its concerns in stronger terms.
  I ask all my colleagues to support this amendment and the en bloc 
amendment in which it is included.
  Mr. NORMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of my amendment on the 
Department of Energy Veterans' Health Initiative.
  This amendment authorizes the Department of Energy (DOE) to conduct 
collaborative research with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to 
solve complex, big data challenges in order to improve veterans' health 
care and further basic research in advanced computing and data 
analytics.
  The VA hosts one of the world's largest and most valuable health data 
sets. Through the Million Veterans program (MVP), the VA has collected 
detailed health information and genomic data volunteered by over 
600,000 veterans.
  For this data to enable better health care for our veterans, the VA 
needs more advanced computing capabilities, infrastructure, and 
expertise than it has in-house.
  As a world leader in high performance computing, the Department of 
Energy is well suited to meet this need. Through its national 
laboratory system, it possesses a unique set of cutting-edge research 
capabilities and funds robust research in data analytics, which can be 
used to solve complex questions in the physical sciences.
  The interagency partnership authorized in my amendment combines the 
VA's clinical and population science expertise with DOE's advanced 
computing to solve critical health challenges for our veterans, while 
creating another path forward for the advancement of data science tools 
for American researchers in support of key mission goals for the 
Department of Energy.
  Our veterans should have access to better health care services, and 
our scientists should remain leaders in advanced computing. My 
amendment promises to deliver on both fronts.
  I encourage my colleagues to support this amendment.
  Ms. MOORE. Mr. Speaker, I rise to thank chairman Smith for his 
inclusion in En Bloc Amendment No. 2 of my bipartisan amendment 
regarding efforts to reduce maternal mortality among servicewomen. I 
would like to thank Congressman Steve Stivers for joining me in this 
effort.
  Our nation's overall maternal mortality rate is terrible, there is no 
way to sugar coat it. And we all know, that women of color suffer rates 
that are abysmally higher.
  This amendment, which has been endorsed by the American College of 
Obstetricians and Gynecologists, will send a strong signal to the 
Defense Department that Congress supports and encourages the work it is 
already doing with CDC to establish an Maternal Mortality Review 
Committee or MMRC so that we can identify the causes of servicemembers' 
and their dependents' pregnancy-related deaths and act to prevent them.
  As long as there are any maternal deaths occurring among our 
servicemembers and their dependents in the military, there is a 
distinct need for a Maternal Mortality Review Committee that will help 
dig deep into each maternal death and get the answers that can save 
other lives.
  I remind my colleagues, that just in the last Congress, we enacted 
legislation into law that would strengthen the ability of States to 
form these committees comprised of experts in maternal health. Since 
then, MMRCs around the country have provided enlightening reports that 
are helping us understand the drivers of maternal mortality, racial 
inequities, and the most effective interventions to eliminate 
preventable maternal deaths.
  And now its critical that we put this proven tool to work to help 
ensure safe pregnancies for servicemembers and their dependents.
  Additionally, as this bill moves to conference, I hope that House and 
Senate conferees will including report language directing the Defense 
Department to provide a report to Congress on its efforts to establish 
a MMRC and whether that committee will meet established criteria that 
has proven effective, including being composed of a multidisciplinary 
group of experts including physicians, epidemiologists, and patient 
advocates, having strong confidentiality protections, and facilitating 
comprehensive and effective data sharing with relevant state maternal 
mortality review committees as well as federal state death data.
  The goal is zero preventable maternal deaths. And it is going to 
require all of us working together to get there. An MMRC is just one 
more tool to get there. We are standing them and/or strengthening them 
in every state and now it's time to take this best practice and 
incorporate it in the military.
  Every maternal death is a tragedy. If we can prevent them, we need to 
act to do so.
  Ms. GARCIA of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I stand on the House floor today to 
demand justice for my constituent, Spc. Vanessa Guillen, who was 
brutally murdered at Fort Hood.
  I am here for her family and the Houston community who mourn her 
tragic loss.
  And I am here for every women and man in uniform who has shared their 
stories of sexual assault and harassment in the military.
  We must put an end to this culture of sexual assault and harassment 
in the military.
  This is why I urge my colleagues to support this bloc of amendments.
  It includes Amendment 293, which will establish a confidential 
reporting option for sexual harassment complaints made by military 
servicemembers.

[[Page H3584]]

  And, it also includes Amendment 282, which will require the GAO to 
study the procedures for investigating missing persons by the Armed 
Forces.
  As members of Congress, we have a responsibility to our women and men 
in uniform.
  We must honor Vanessa's memory by ensuring this never again happens 
to another soldier or her family.
  Mr. SABLAN. Mr. Speaker, my amendment No. 330, which is included in 
the en bloc amendment No. 2, ensures the 1,700 small businesses in my 
district can receive assistance through grants from the Small Business 
Development Center (SBDC) program and through FAST, the Federal and 
State Technology program.
  My district, the Northern Mariana Islands, is the only place in the 
U.S. not included in these Small Business Administration (SBA) 
programs, which help small businesses access the knowledge and capital 
needed to grow and compete successfully for federal contracting 
opportunities.
  My bipartisan amendment would correct that by ensuring access on the 
same basis as their counterparts across the nation. The amendment is 
the text of my bill, H.R. 6021, the Northern Mariana Islands Small 
Business Development Act. The Small Business Committee unanimously 
reported the bill favorably in March.
  Under my legislation, the Marianas can apply to establish a Lead 
SBDC, which would make available renewable funding to expand the reach 
and capacity of the existing SBDC service center on Saipan. With 
additional funding, small businesses on Saipan, Tinian and Rota will 
have better access to free or low-cost services such as incubator 
workspaces for entrepreneurs, business planning, operations, and other 
areas required for small business growth and success.
  The amendment would also help our small businesses participate in 
federal research and development opportunities. The legislation does 
this by including the Marianas in the SBA 's FAST program which funds 
outreach and assistance to small businesses interested in competing for 
the Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology 
Transfer programs.
  I urge the adoption of my amendment, so we can be sure that all small 
businesses in our country can fully benefit from the SBDC and FAST 
programs, regardless of where in our nation they happen to operate.
  The gentlelady from American Samoa, Mrs. Radewagen, is a cosponsor of 
the amendment.
  I ask my colleagues to support the en bloc No. 2.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 1053, the 
previous question is ordered on the amendments en bloc offered by the 
gentleman from Washington (Mr. Smith).
  The question is on the amendments en bloc offered by the gentleman 
from Washington (Mr. Smith).
  The en bloc amendments were agreed to.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 1(c) of rule XIX, further 
consideration of H.R. 6395 is postponed.
