Mr. GREEN of Tennessee (during the reading). Mr. Speaker, I ask
unanimous consent to dispense with the reading.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the
gentleman from Tennessee?
There was no objection.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from
Tennessee is recognized for 5 minutes in support of his motion.
Mr. GREEN of Tennessee. Mr. Speaker, Operation Warp Speed is an
unprecedented public-private partnership to accelerate the development,
manufacturing, and distribution of COVID-19 vaccines, therapeutics, and
diagnostics.
One of the goals of this program is to have 300 million doses of safe
and effective vaccine by January 2021. Next week, Moderna plans to
start a phase 3 trial. Two other companies are right behind, expecting
to begin phase 3 within weeks.
The speed which the process has taken is truly ``warp speed.'' This
could
[[Page H3605]]
not occur without the private sector and the Federal Government working
hand in hand on this herculean effort.
Companies are taking enormous financial risks to conduct research,
develop vaccine candidates, and create more manufacturing capacity at
record speed. The Federal Government has poured billions more into the
vaccine effort, yet countries like China are trying to steal America's
work in developing a COVID vaccine for their benefit.
As confirmed by intelligence agencies--DHS and FBI--the Chinese
Government, the Russian Government, and other hackers are trying to
steal intellectual property and Americans' health data related to
vaccine treatments, testing from COVID-19 researchers. In fact, DOJ
charged Chinese hackers just 3 hours ago.
Since the start of this crisis, the Chinese Communist Party has done
everything they can to prevent the world from responding to and
recovering from the pandemic. Not only did they keep COVID-19 a secret
from their own citizens, but they hid it from the world for months
after the first outbreak.
When word got out about the virus, the Chinese Communist Party lied
about human-to-human transmission. Then they arrested doctors,
journalists, and other whistleblowers who dared to warn their fellow
Chinese citizens of the dangers of the virus. Many of these
whistleblowers are still missing and presumed dead.
Researchers at Columbia University--not necessarily a bastion of
conservatism, I might add--those scientists at Columbia University
said, had China notified the world just 1 week sooner, 61 percent of
American deaths could have been prevented.
Think about that. Sixty-one percent of 143,000 is 87,000-plus
Americans who would not be dead had China spoken up just 1 week sooner.
Indicative of their past mercantilist actions, China hoarded PPE in
the early days of the virus. Despite dominating global PPE
manufacturing, China hoarded the world's PPE. U.S. exports of PPE to
China grew over 1,000 percent in January and February compared with the
same period last year. In their time of need, we sent them PPE. Italy
even donated PPE to China.
What did China do? Well, they sold them the very PPE Italy had
donated to them and refused to ship PPE to the United States, decrying
regulatory violations, to keep PPE away from us during our peak need.
But it still wasn't enough. Now the Chinese Communist Party is
hacking researchers who are trying to find a cure for the very
worldwide pandemic that they tried to cover up.
Make no mistake, if the Chinese Communist Party steals the vaccine,
they will leverage it for their own self-interested political and
economic ends, which really boils down to one thing and one thing only:
The communists want power; they want totalitarian power.
We must show the Chinese Communist Party that there are consequences
for these actions which pose a clear threat to the safety of our fellow
Americans. If Chinese companies or individuals hack COVID-19
researchers, they should be punished with tough sanctions.
This MTR enables sanctions against individuals responsible for
significant, malicious, cyber-enabled activities that endanger the
public health of Americans. It also requires a report on whether cyber
hacking related specifically to COVID-19 qualifies for such sanctions.
Now, to those who say it should go through regular order in
committee, I say we cannot wait. Every day, people are dying from
COVID-19. We need a vaccine now. We cannot afford for China to steal
American work and then leverage it against the United States and the
world.
We cannot spare the weeks, maybe even months, a stand-alone bill
would take. Americans are dying, China is hacking, and we in Congress
must act. Researchers need to be protected now.
We have an opportunity. It is time for a bipartisan effort. Think of
the message that we will send the Chinese Communist Party: Hacking
American intellectual property will not be tolerated, especially when
it jeopardizes the lives of Americans.
If we can't agree on punishing those who hack the heroes fighting for
a cure for COVID, I don't know what we can agree on.
Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this MTR, and I yield
back the balance of my time.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I withdraw my reservation of my
point of order.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The reservation of a point of order is
withdrawn.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to the
motion to recommit.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Washington is recognized
for 5 minutes.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, legislatively, this is a
terrible idea, to introduce a 13-page sanctions bill at the last
possible second and expect us to vote on it without knowing the true
impacts of it.
I absolutely agree that we should have tools to hold the Chinese, the
Russians, anyone accountable who does any of the things that the
gentleman said. Within current law, there are a ton of tools to do
precisely that. Putting in law brand-new sanctions legislation without
thinking about it is a bad idea.
And if this was so crucial and so important, why are we seeing it
just at this last second?
There was somewhere in the neighborhood of 2,000 ideas submitted to
be added to the defense bill all along the process. We would have had
time to work on it and think about it and actually craft a decent piece
of legislation. This clearly does not have that objective in mind or
they would have introduced it a long time ago. This is a bad way to
make law.
Mr. Speaker, I urge us to vote ``no'' and not to jeopardize all the
incredible work that Members on both sides of the aisle did in this
bill. There are a ton of Members, Republicans and Democrats alike;
those 2,000 provisions are roughly equal between Republicans and
Democrats. We have an incredibly bipartisan piece of legislation before
us in which individual Members decided something is important, worked
the issue, and got us a product that we could support.
Mr. Speaker, this puts us in the very risky position of passing
really bad legislation at the last second for no good reason, and I
would urge Members to vote ``no.''
Now, let me be clear. We absolutely need to hold accountable Russia,
China, whoever wants to interfere with our process of developing a
vaccine or cyber hack us in any other way, and there are an enormous
number of tools to do so.
I do want to point out and just simply make an urgent plea.
One of the gentleman's arguments was that China hid the true risk of
the virus from the American people, and, yes, that is terrible that
China did that. It is not actually their job to warn the American
people. It is the President's job to warn the American people. And talk
about someone who has done a horrible job of warning us of the true
dangers of the virus.
It was just, I think, last week, maybe a week and a half ago, when
the President said 99 percent of the cases will be completely harmless.
That is wrong.
The President said again, just a couple days ago, it is just going to
magically disappear. He cannot even bring himself to tell us to wear a
mask.
Some people don't like mandates. Okay. That is fine. Let's have the
leader of our country tell us what we ought to do to protect ourselves.
He is the one who is not warning the American people of the true
danger of this virus, because, sadly, we would kind of listen to him.
We are not going to listen to the Chinese. We don't trust them, for all
the reasons they said.
So, Mr. Speaker, I would implore Members on the other side of the
aisle, ask our President to do what they are now asking the Chinese to
do. The least that he ought to do for the American people is to warn us
of the danger we face.
This is incredibly frustrating. I want my kids back in school. I want
my constituents back to work. If we took the virus seriously, if we did
the work necessary to contain it, we could do it.
The President wants to stand up and say: Meh. It is not a problem.
Nothing to worry about it. It is all good.
We are paying an enormous price for that.
[[Page H3606]]
So, yes, let's hold Russia and China accountable. Let's also hold our
President and the executive branch accountable for the spectacular
failure in leadership that we are living and, yes, dying with today in
this country.
Let's also oppose this motion to recommit as bad legislation that
isn't going to make any difference whatsoever, and let's pass the
defense bill. This is an excellent piece of legislation, a bipartisan
piece of legislation that we have all worked on and produced an
excellent product.
Mr. Speaker, I ask Members to please vote ``yes.'' Please pass this
bill, keep the legislative process going forward.
And don't forget, what we are doing here is providing for the
national security, providing for the Department of Defense, providing
for the men and women whom we are asking to put their lives on the line
for the defense of this country, giving them the support they need and
they deserve.
Mr. Speaker, I ask Members to vote down the motion to recommit and
vote for the national defense authorization act.
Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the previous question is
ordered on the motion to recommit.
There was no objection.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion to recommit.
The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that
the noes appeared to have it.
Mr. GREEN of Tennessee. Mr. Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and
nays.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3 of House Resolution
965, the yeas and nays are ordered.
The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 201,
nays 219, not voting 10, as follows:
