PROVIDING FOR CONSIDERATION OF H.R. 7608, DEPARTMENT OF STATE, FOREIGN
OPERATIONS, AND RELATED PROGRAMS APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2021

Ms. SHALALA. Madam Speaker, by direction of the Committee on Rules, I
call up House Resolution 1060 and ask for its immediate consideration.
The Clerk read the resolution, as follows:

H. Res. 1060

Resolved, That upon adoption of this resolution it shall be

The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman from Florida is recognized
for 1 hour.
Ms. SHALALA. Madam Speaker, for the purpose of debate only, I yield
the customary 30 minutes to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Burgess),
pending which I yield myself such time as I may consume. During
consideration of this resolution, all time yielded is for the purpose
of debate only.

General Leave

Ms. SHALALA. Madam Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members
be given 5 legislative days to revise and extend their remarks.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the
gentlewoman from Florida?
There was no objection.
Ms. SHALALA. Madam Speaker, on Wednesday, the Rules Committee met and
reported a rule, House Resolution 1060, providing for consideration of
H.R. 7608, the State, Foreign Operations, Agriculture, Rural
Development, Interior, Environment, Military Construction, and Veterans
Affairs Appropriations Act, 2021, under a structured rule.
The rule makes in order 132 amendments. The rule provides 1 hour of
debate, equally divided and controlled by the chair and the ranking
member of the Committee on Appropriations.
The rule provides that the chair of the Committee on Appropriations
or her designee may offer amendments en bloc, which will be debatable
for 30 minutes.
Finally, the rule provides one motion to recommit, with or without
instructions.
Madam Speaker, I rise today in strong support of the bill in this
rule. This appropriations package provides urgent and essential
resources not only for the American people, but particularly for my
fellow Floridians.
Among its provisions, the State, Foreign Operations, and Related
Programs bill provides emergency funding for coronavirus preparedness,
response, and relief.
There is much we do not know about this virus. The one thing we do
know is that it respects no border. South Florida, which is now the
epicenter of this pandemic, and as the capital of the Americas, knows
all too well how diseases can spread. This emergency funding will save
lives both at home and abroad.
The SFOPS bill provides robust funding to advance our global
priorities and strengthens the international partnerships that are
critical to supporting American influence and effectiveness across the
globe. This includes specifically restoring funding for the World
Health Organization, which this administration has threatened and is
trying to cut off.

[[Page H3709]]

Nearly 150,000 Americans have, tragically, died from COVID-19. It is
more important than ever that we are able to share information, best
practices, and our skill and deep knowledge with our international
partners. Many of those international partners were trained at the
Centers for Disease Control over the years, and we simply can't afford
to play politics with WHO funding.
Madam Speaker, I led the American delegation to WHO for 8 years. I am
well aware of its limitations and its strengths. We need WHO more than
ever. And, as I said, this virus knows no borders.
Madam Speaker, this bill also supports the people of Venezuela in
their fight to restore democracy to their country. It includes an
amendment I filed with Representative Murphy that increases the funding
made available for programs to promote democracy and the rule of law in
Venezuela.
I am also very proud that this legislation provides security
assistance to our friends and ally Israel, fully funding our commitment
to Israel's security.
Madam Speaker, also in this package is the Agriculture, Rural
Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies bill.
In this country, no one should ever be hungry, especially children,
as this pandemic has made it only harder for hardworking families in my
district and across the country to put food on the table. This bill
provides robust funding for food and nutrition programs, which have
never been more important.
The bill provides for more than $25 billion in mandatory funding for
the child nutrition programs. This is an increase above the fiscal year
2020 enacted level, and the bill provides for $68 billion in required
mandatory spending for SNAP. This includes $3 billion for the SNAP
reserve fund.
As my friend Marian Wright Edelman once said: ``If we don't stand up
for children, then we don't stand for much.''
Madam Speaker, also in this package is the Interior, Environment, and
Related Agencies bill, which provides funding for meaningful action on
climate change and protects our environment. I am particularly proud of
the provisions that provide robust funding for the Department of the
Interior bureaus working together to restore the Everglades, including
the National Park Service, the Fish and Wildlife Service, and the South
Geographic Program.
Lastly, among its most important provisions, this package upholds our
commitment to our troops, investing in housing, in medical care, in
programs to reduce veteran homelessness.
Simply put, with this legislation, we are fulfilling our obligations
to our planet, to our American values, to our veterans, and to our
children.
Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. BURGESS. Madam Speaker, I thank Ms. Shalala for yielding me the
customary 30 minutes, and I yield myself such time as I may consume.
Madam Speaker, the bill we are debating today, in some ways I am
reminded of a Clint Eastwood movie. We have some good, some bad, and
some really ugly. But this bill gives consideration for fiscal year
2021 appropriations, as the gentlewoman from Florida just outlined:
State and Foreign Operations, Agriculture, Food and Drug
Administration, Interior, Environment, Military Construction, and
Veterans Affairs Administration.
It is appropriate that we are considering these bills. The fiscal
year ends on September 30, and we need to provide funding for the next
fiscal year; and without the appropriations bills, that doesn't occur.

But we never did a budget this year, and since we never did a budget,
House Democratic leadership decided to go without a budget. The only
budgetary reference we can make is to the Bipartisan Budget Act of
2019, which did include spending limits. But, unfortunately, today,
many of those limits are going to be jettisoned.
So division A of this bill appropriates $65 billion for State and
Foreign Operations, including $8 billion in cap-exempt Overseas
Contingency Operations funding and $10 billion in emergency coronavirus
funding. Funding is continued for important global programs to support
maternal and child health; combat AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria;
contribute to vaccine administration; and for the PEPFAR program.
Funding to the northern triangle countries of El Salvador, Guatemala,
and Honduras is provided to help those countries create economic
opportunities for their citizens, reduce violence, and strengthen the
rule of law. The Secretary of State is required to certify that these
countries meet certain conditions before 50 percent of that funding can
be obligated.
The good news is they have made some recent progress, but we are
obligated to continue the oversight of taxpayer-funded foreign
assistance to ensure that the citizens of the recipient countries, the
citizens, are benefiting and that we are effectively working to combat
the drivers of illegal immigration. It is unfair to ask our taxpayers
to have to subsidize this activity twice.
However, this division also prohibits the use of funds to implement
the Mexico City policy, which requires nongovernmental organizations to
certify that they will not perform or actively promote abortion as a
condition of receiving United States funds. It also removes conditions
that promote transparency and accountability at international
organizations, including the World Health Organization.
We know that China withheld information from the World Health
Organization. We know that that contributed to the excesses of the
global pandemic, under which we now suffer.
It is disappointing that these partisan provisions were included in
this bill. We could have had a bipartisan bill to provide for the
American people. The poison pill provisions virtually guarantee that
that will not be the case.
The Agriculture and Food and Drug Administration division
appropriates nearly $24 billion in discretionary funding, $487 million
over the fiscal year 2020 level. In the midst of a global pandemic, it
is critical that our Food and Drug Administration be fully funded and
staffed to stand at the ready to process applications for medical
countermeasures as they are developed, things such as therapeutics and
vaccines against this novel coronavirus.
The bill continues to fund the FDA Innovation Account. This was part
of the 21st Century Cures Act and the various user fee arrangements
that have proven to be so successful. But, again, you have to have
concerns about the attempts to include authorizing language in the
appropriations bill, issues that authorizing committees have not yet
debated.
One of the issues is giving the FDA mandatory recall authority.
Currently, manufacturers typically recall products if the FDA requests
that they do so, because if they fail to act on a voluntary recall,
guess what? Big liability for them.
But the FDA also has other tools to keep a product off the market.
The section of code that this appropriations bill seeks to amend is
specific to controlled substances, which may not be an appropriate
place to incorporate such a policy.
Future considerations of such policies should happen within the
committee of jurisdiction, which would be the Committee on Energy and
Commerce.
Agriculture is the lifeblood for many American families, especially
in rural communities. This coronavirus pandemic has greatly impacted
our Nation's food supply, and this bill works to strengthen food
security and promote agricultural research. That is good.
As communities continue to work through the ``new normal'' we are
experiencing, with many people working from home and remote learning,
efforts to bolster rural broadband are, indeed, critical.

{time} 1145

Once more, rather than simply providing for the American people, this
bill includes language that would permanently prevent any
administration--Republican or Democrat--from making changes to the
Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program. This policy would result
in working age, nondisabled adults without children not being required
to seek employment in times of low unemployment in order to seek
benefits. When we are in the

[[Page H3710]]

middle of a national emergency, flexibility is appropriate. However,
the administration should not be permanently barred from making the
program more beneficial to both the recipient and the taxpayer.
Next, division C of this bill includes provisions that ensure that
our Nation's environment and public lands are preserved for future
generations. These funds will be used to combat invasive species,
mitigate harmful algae blooms, stop the trafficking of endangered
animals. They will also provide essential resources to maintain our
Nation's national park system.
Unfortunately, the bill threatens the advancement of fundamentally
pro-business and pro-worker policies. It adds unnecessary barriers to
administrative efforts to reduce regulation. Eliminating bureaucratic
red tape will be the key to unlocking future economic growth, which I
would submit is still important.
Division C also threatens the continued development of America's
energy resources, thus its energy independence and the thousands of
jobs tied to the energy sector. Specifically, it prohibits Federal
funds to be used for oil and gas sales on Federal lands and offshore
leases in Federal waters. These projects are important to America's
economic recovery, they are important to America's national security,
and they are important to America's energy independence. We, in the
House, should not be limiting the economic opportunities in the middle
of a global recession.
Division C of this bill contains many important provisions, but it is
pro-regulation and anti-energy in ways that will harm our economy and
thus hurt jobs throughout the country.
I would last like to discuss the Military Construction and Veterans
Affairs division. As a historically bipartisan committee, I am grateful
for the support that the committee has provided for important veterans'
programs, particularly in veterans' health and military construction,
and for prioritizing military family housing.
We have learned during the past couple of Congresses about the
unacceptable condition of private military housing that is part of the
military housing privatization initiative. Some reforms were included
in last year's National Defense Authorization Act, and my hope is that
we can continue the funding and the oversight necessary to ensure that
our Armed Forces and their families feel safe in their homes on their
bases.
Although I agree with and support the veterans' healthcare programs,
I am encouraged by the robust mental health programs and the opioid
abuse prevention and treatment assistance included in the bill, it is
also a time when we must be at least cognizant of where the Federal
Congressional Budget Office estimates are taking us with the budget
deficit exceeding over $3.7 trillion for this fiscal year. So I do
share some of the other Members' concerns on designating the $12.5
billion as emergency funding and disregarding the Bipartisan Budget Act
of 2019. Again, we are functioning without a current congressional
budget in this session of the House. Why do we even work on spending
caps in the first place if we are only going to ultimately disregard
them for partisan priorities?
Furthermore, I have serious concerns regarding provisions which would
restrict funds for military construction projects, specifically a
prohibition on funding for any type of border barrier. These
restrictions unfairly jeopardize our military's safety and well-being.
We are in the middle of a global pandemic. Mexico agreed to limit
border crossings with the United States. So legal and illegal entries
have been significantly reduced, limiting unexpected coronavirus
transmission to domestic cases. Despite our best hopes, coronavirus
cases are increasing, particularly along our southern border and our
southern States. Now is not the time to restrict the ability of the
President to act to further protect the country.
Last, I would like to note report language that presents pro-life
concerns. The language grants flexibility to the VA without pro-life
protections, thus including abortion referrals for those referred to
outside care resources for services not provided by the Department.
Again, this appropriations package incorporates many provisions that
both Democrats and Republicans can agree on. But it disregards the
Bipartisan Budget Act agreement and includes poison pill policy
provisions that, frankly, I will find, and many Republicans will find
difficult to support.
I hope my Democratic colleagues will come to the table and negotiate
so we don't abandon the American people as the end of the fiscal year
approaches.
With that, I urge opposition to the rule, and I will reserve the
balance of my time.
Ms. SHALALA. Madam Speaker, I yield 4 minutes to the gentleman from
Mississippi (Mr. Thompson), the distinguished chairman of the Committee
on Homeland Security.
Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Madam Speaker, I would like to enter
into a colloquy with the agriculture chair, Mr. Bishop of Georgia.
Mr. Bishop, I have a concern about the eligibility of Piney Woods
School and Farm in Piney Woods, Mississippi, which is the only African-
American boarding school left in America to receive Community
Facilities Grant funding.
Currently, Piney Woods is ineligible to receive Community Facilities
Grant funding because its geographic location is considered to be in a
suburban area in Mississippi, when, in fact, the school's location
should be designated as rural. The current designation is limiting
Piney Woods from receiving much-needed funding.
Can we work together to try and find a solution?
I yield to the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Bishop), the subcommittee
chair, for an answer.
Mr. BISHOP of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I appreciate my colleague's
longtime interest in institutions such as Piney Woods. These
institutions provide an opportunity to learn and to help these students
go on to live extraordinary lives.
As a matter of fact, my father's roots are in Mississippi. And about
60 years ago, when I was 13 years old, my parents were strongly
considering sending me to Piney Woods to complete my high school
education. Piney Woods has a strong reputation.
I have worked with the gentleman on issues like this over the years.
I, too, share your interest in preserving institutions like this for
future generations.
Congress has developed programs like the Community Facilities program
to help institutions just like this. I look forward to working with my
colleague to take steps toward making resources available to preserve
historic institutions and facilities like the Piney Woods School in
Mississippi.
Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Madam Speaker, reclaiming my time.
I look forward to working with the gentleman from Georgia. There is
no question that Piney Woods Country Life School is a model for helping
shape minds for the future. Their record speaks for itself. The kids
who are fortunate to matriculate there come out and actually do very
well in society. And so it is with this spirit that I offer the
opportunity for us to help Piney Woods be even better. I look forward
to working on crafting a solution.
Mr. BURGESS. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from
Minnesota (Mr. Stauber).
Mr. STAUBER. Madam Speaker, I thank the gentleman for the opportunity
to express my disappointment, once again, with being denied the
opportunity to amend this harmful piece of legislation on the floor.
The Interior appropriations bill was introduced by my colleague from
St. Paul and produced by the subcommittee she chairs. Having anti-
mining riders attached was no surprise, as Twin Cities Democrat
politicians have leveled attacks at future mining projects multiple
times this Congress.
However, section 435 of division C is a new low. It directly attacks
three existing iron ore operations: The Minntac mine, the Minorca Mine,
and the Northshore mine, along with the Coldspring Mesabi Black quarry.
Combined, this places more than 2,000 jobs in my district on the
chopping block. These blue-collar jobs support families in my district,
jobs we need, especially during this pandemic.
Twin Cities anti-job environmentalists continue to level bolder and
bolder attacks on our way of life in northern Minnesota by now putting
iron mining squarely in the crosshairs.

[[Page H3711]]

China controls more than half the world's steel market with a cheap,
low-quality product built with horrific and zero labor standards and
environmental standards.
In my district, reclaimed mines provide drinking water for entire
communities. Northern Minnesota has the cleanest air and water in the
world and much cleaner than the brown water in St. Paul.
We all care for our environment, but this legislation is no longer
about environmental protections. This is about ideology and our way of
life.
I will fight for northern Minnesota and our blue-collar jobs with
every fiber in my body.
Ms. SHALALA. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from
California (Ms. Lee).
Ms. LEE of California. Madam Speaker, I thank my friend,
Congresswoman Shalala, for her tremendous work and support. Her
leadership certainly is warranted and necessary and needed right at
this moment in our country's history.
Let me first take a moment to thank Congresswoman Nita Lowey for her
years of leadership both on the full Committee on Appropriations as
well as the State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs
Subcommittee.
Over the years, the chairwoman has been a steadfast and effective
advocate for a humane and generous American role in the world,
especially through her work to expand education, especially for girls
and women, focused on creating many opportunities for millions of girls
around the world.
I will miss Chairwoman Lowey, but I just want to say that her legacy
as our chair is going to remain very close to all of us, and it will
remind us of the work which we must continue for future generations.
I serve as the vice chair of our State, Foreign Operations, and
Related Programs subcommittee and as a member of the Agriculture
Committee. I rise to support this rule, which provides for the
consideration----
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentlewoman has expired.

Ms. SHALALA. Madam Speaker, I yield an additional 30 seconds to the
gentlewoman from California.
Ms. LEE of California. Madam Speaker, I rise to support this rule. It
provides for the consideration of appropriations bill and contains the
emergency funds to respond to the impact of COVID around the world and
also to ensure that our diplomacy and development programs can sustain
their efforts in the face of this pandemic.
I am pleased that we provide almost $6 billion for PEPFAR, including
$1.5 billion for the Global Fund. We provide $55 million for UNFPA,
and, yes, we repeal the global gag rule.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentlewoman has again
expired.
Ms. SHALALA. Madam Speaker, I yield an additional 1 minute to the
gentlewoman from California.
Ms. LEE of California. Madam Speaker, let me just be very quick in
terms of just laying out why I support this rule again.
We provide $55 million for UNFPA and $68 billion for SNAP, which is
extremely important now, with so many people needing food security
falling through the cracks.
We provide $90 billion for veterans' health and more than a half
billion to get lead out of drinking water, which really, in this
country, should be no more. It is a shame and a disgrace.
And as we consider this rule, I urge my colleagues to examine the
appropriations bill through the lens of racial justice. These bills
contain important provisions that respond to this moment in American
history when people are marching in the streets to demand that our
country dismantle systemic racism.
So I ask that we look at these bills and understand that equity has
got to be so much a part of our funding priorities.
Madam Speaker, I support this rule, and I hope we adopt the important
funding in this package.

{time} 1200

Mr. BURGESS. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from
Minnesota (Mr. Emmer), a valuable member of our Republican House
leadership.
Mr. EMMER. Madam Speaker, the conversation we are having here today
does not need to be as divisive and destructive to hardworking
Minnesotans as my Democrat colleagues from Minnesota are pushing.
Today, I stand with the Representative of northern Minnesota, Pete
Stauber, who is advocating for those Minnesotans who will be directly
impacted by this shortsighted effort. We both firmly believe that
American mining is the safest and environmentally responsible way to
help America.
We have been told, time and time again, not this mine, not this
location. Unfortunately, the reality is, our Democrat colleagues want
to ban all mining. They want to eliminate good-paying jobs in
construction--labor--and allow countries like China and Russia to
utilize child labor and environmentally disastrous practices to mine
for the minerals our everyday items need, like cellphones and cars.
This bill doesn't simply attack the future of mining. It impacts
existing mines in operation today. This bill will decimate those jobs.
I urge all of our colleagues to vote against this rule and the bill
in order to preserve mining in our great State. It will also help
secure America's mineral independence and give miners the opportunity
to do what they do best, mine responsibly in our country for the
benefit of all Americans.
Ms. SHALALA. Madam Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from
Maine (Mr. Golden).
Mr. GOLDEN. Madam Speaker, the purpose of my amendment is to call
attention to the shortage of VA mental health and substance use
disorder facilities.
For example, veterans in my home State of Maine must travel hundreds
of miles out of State to access long-term treatment facilities. That is
just unacceptable.
A proposed residential unit at the Togus VA hospital in Maine would
provide treatment beds to 24 veterans. But until VA approves this new
construction project, veterans in Maine have few options.
VA needs to ensure long-term inpatient mental healthcare and
substance use disorder services are provided as close to each veteran's
home as possible.
That is why I am proud to have worked with you, Madam Chair, to
secure $20 million above the budget request in the MILCON-VA bill for
medical facilities. I thank the gentlewoman for her strong leadership
on this and also other critically important issues for our Nation's
veterans.
In addition to the extra funding, the bill directs VA to prioritize
construction that expands access to overnight bed space for veterans
seeking mental healthcare.
Moving forward, I ask that the committee continue to push VA for
answers on progress toward boosting inpatient capacity, prioritizing
construction for these lifesaving services.
Ms. SHALALA. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentlewoman from Florida
(Ms. Wasserman Schultz), the Subcommittee on Military Construction,
Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies chairwoman.
Ms. WASSERMAN SCHULTZ. Madam Speaker, I thank Mr. Golden for his
extraordinary military service to our country and for his leadership on
this urgent issue.
Madam Speaker, no veteran should be forced to choose between seeking
care away from loved ones or forgoing treatment altogether. I applaud
my friend for his tireless advocacy for local mental health services
for veterans in the VA appropriations bill.
I look forward to continuing to work together to prioritize greater
accessibility to these vital mental health services to veterans.
Madam Speaker, I wish the gentleman a happy birthday this Saturday.
Ms. SHALALA. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Maine (Mr.
Golden).
Mr. GOLDEN. Madam Speaker, I am not sure who outed me on the
birthday, but I appreciate the well wishes.
Madam Speaker, I thank the subcommittee chairwoman for her strong
support on this issue. This is the second year in a row that the
chairwoman and her committee and the committee staff have supported an
increase like this for inpatient facilities for veterans who are
struggling with mental health

[[Page H3712]]

or substance use issues and need treatment, and I appreciate their
advocacy very much.
Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from
Arizona (Mr. Gosar), chairman of the Congressional Western Caucus.
Mr. GOSAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to the rule and the
underlying bill.
The underlying bill contains a wish list of provisions from far-left
environmentalists that prevent job creation and energy development in
rural communities.
One in particular is the proposed buffer zone around the Chaco Canyon
national park. This provision is an assault on the private property
rights of hundreds of Navajo allottees who own oil and gas rights in
the area surrounding the park.
This buffer expansion in this bill would make these assets worthless,
taking away valuable royalty payments from these impoverished
communities. To put this in perspective, in 2015 alone, the Federal
Indian Minerals Office distributed $96 million to 20,835 allottees
around the country.
Instead of listening to all voices, the proponents of this provision
have only listened to environmental groups who claim to represent all
the relevant stakeholders on this matter but clearly do not. Allottees
in the Chaco region have consistently expressed opposition to this
proposed withdrawal.
Any uncertainty amongst the oil and gas industry when it comes to the
ability to extract oil and gas from this region has negative
consequences for them and the local economy.
In my role as the ranking member of the Natural Resources
Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources, I sent two of my staff to
meet with Navajo allottees in New Mexico. The response from these
allottees was overwhelming, as hundreds and hundreds of people showed
up to express their opposition to a proposed buffer zone around Chaco
Canyon national park.

The facts are, Mr. Speaker, there are already laws on the books to
protect Chaco national park and the pristine artifacts that may lay
outside of its borders. The oil and gas industry has both a legal and
moral obligation to protect the artifacts of the Chaco people, as well
as avoiding impacts on newly discovered artifacts, which has always
been done.
This provision is clearly unnecessary, and I would urge that it be
removed in conference if this bill is passed by the House.
It would also be remiss of me not to mention the equally egregious
provision in the legislation that prevents copper, nickel, and iron
mining in northern Minnesota. Copper, nickel, and iron mining is the
historic lifeblood of the economy in northern Minnesota and has the
potential to create thousands of good-paying jobs that can be done in
an environmentally safe way.
The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Carson of Indiana). The time of the
gentleman has expired.
Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I yield an additional 30 seconds to the
gentleman from Arizona.
Mr. GOSAR. Mr. Speaker, we, as Congress, need to wake up and stop
talking out of both sides of our mouth. In fact, we cannot continue to
rely on foreign adversaries to take care of our mineral needs. We can
take care of our own needs with our own domestic resources in the most
environmentally safe way. We do it better than anyone in the world, and
yes, we do it without slave child labor like they do in the Congo with
cobalt as China does.
Mr. Speaker, I, once again, urge my colleagues to oppose the previous
question, the rule, and the underlying bill.
Ms. SHALALA. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from
Minnesota (Ms. McCollum).
Ms. McCOLLUM. Mr. Speaker, the Interior and Environment division of
this bill makes many critical investments in protecting our natural
resources and contains several provisions designated to stop the Trump
administration from moving forward on disastrous environmental
policies.
This bill puts a halt on the use of funds in the next fiscal year to
review approved mine plans within the watershed in the Nation's most
visited wilderness, the Boundary Waters Canoe Area.
This provision does not--does not--impact the operations of current
mines that already have their plans approved and are operating. There
is no iron ore mine plan under review within the watershed or anywhere
in the Superior National Forest.
Sulfide-ore mines are toxic. They produce acid mine drainage, which
includes heavy metals like lead and cadmium. This poses a significant
risk to surface waters and ground waters.
The Trump administration cannot be trusted to conduct an
environmental review of sulfide-ore mining that could devastate this
wilderness. They have already shown a lack of transparency and a
willingness not to be guided by science.
Multiple Cabinet members have pledged to members of the
Appropriations Committee in congressional hearings that they would
complete a mineral withdrawal study within this very watershed.
Instead, they abandoned this review 20 months into a 24-month plan, and
they have refused to release any of the information.
Mr. Speaker, I would submit the report that they did finally show me,
but I have no idea how the good people who work at this front desk
could put in 60 pages of redacted material, 60 blank pages of a
taxpayer-funded report.
This is a 1-year halt on a mine plan in a wilderness area from an
administration that has shown a total lack of transparency and respect
for science.
Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I yield 4 minutes to the gentleman from New
Jersey (Mr. Smith).
Mr. SMITH of New Jersey. Mr. Speaker, someday, future generations of
Americans will look back on us and wonder how and why a society that
prided itself on the commitment to human rights precluded virtually all
protections to the weakest and most vulnerable--unborn children.
I believe they will demand to know why dismembering a child with
razor-sharp knives, pulverizing an infant with powerful suction
devices, or chemically poisoning a baby with any number of toxic
chemicals failed to elicit empathy for victim babies.
The bill before us today reverses several modest but important pro-
life policies, including the Protecting Life in Global Health
Assistance policy, which is a reiteration and expansion of President
Ronald Reagan's Mexico City policy. Announced by Ronald Reagan at the
UN conference on population growth in Mexico City in 1984, hence, its
name, the policy was and is designed to ensure that U.S. taxpayer money
is not funneled to foreign NGOs that perform or promote abortion as a
method of family planning.
After Reagan announced that policy, Mr. Speaker, I offered the first
amendment in 1985 to protect that policy, and we won. We lost in the
Senate, but since it was an executive order, the policy did survive.
And I have done it many, many times since.

The policy established pro-life safeguards, benign, humane
conditions, on the $8.8 billion in annual global health assistance. For
years, Mr. Speaker, foreign NGOs have been empowered by taxpayer funds,
grant money, to weaken, undermine, or reverse pro-life laws in other
nations, especially in Africa, and to destroy the precious lives of
unborn children.
The Protecting Life in Global Health Assistance policy, which was put
into effect by President Trump, mitigates U.S. taxpayer complicity in
global abortion. U.S. foreign assistance, Mr. Speaker, and the foreign
entities that we fund with billions of dollars of grant money should
consistently affirm, care for, and tangibly assist women and all
children--all children regardless of age or condition of dependency.
I have authored many laws in this body, including the PEPFAR
reauthorization, the 5-year reauthorization of the President's
emergency plan for AIDS relief.
When Henry Hyde, taking his cue from George W. Bush, authored that
important legislation, I, and many others, joined in. We were strong
supporters, but Henry Hyde was the leader.
That legislation has saved the lives of some 17 million people with
ARVs, as well as with prevention strategies. And it has made all the
difference in the world in the area of malaria as well as tuberculosis.
Mr. Speaker, I believe we must increase access to maternal and
prenatal care and ensure access to safe blood

[[Page H3713]]

and better nutrition. We must also expand essential obstetrical
services, including skilled birth attendants, while improving
transportation to emergency care facilities to significantly reduce
maternal mortality and morbidity, including obstetric fistula.
The law or the policy on the books with regard to obstetric fistula,
I offered the bill on that. It passed the House. It did not pass the
Senate. But then I got USAID to adopt it administratively. I have been
to the Addis Ababa Fistula Hospital in Ethiopia, where many women have
gotten their lives back because of reparative surgery.
No one is expendable or a throwaway, Mr. Speaker. Birth is merely an
event, albeit an important one, but only an event.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentleman has expired.
Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I yield an additional 30 seconds to the
gentleman from New Jersey.
Mr. SMITH of New Jersey. Mr. Speaker, birth is really just an event.
Ultrasound has shattered the myth that an unborn child is anything
but human and alive and growing. It really is up to us to do all we can
to make that life as healthy as humanly possible.
Victim babies, like their mothers, absolutely deserve respect,
protection, and an abundance of compassion.

{time} 1215

Ms. SHALALA. Mr. Speaker, I am prepared to close, and I reserve the
balance of my time.
Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
Mr. Speaker, if we defeat the previous question, I will offer an
amendment to the rule to sanction any senior foreign official who
conceals information about the outbreak of a pandemic, including this
current coronavirus pandemic.
We know that China delayed reporting what they knew about this
coronavirus. They withheld information from the World Health
Organization and attempted to silence doctors, silence researchers who
had alerted local health authorities.
China's continued attempts to avoid national humiliation resulted in
a pandemic that has killed well more than 600,000 people globally. It
is unacceptable, and we must hold China accountable.
Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to insert the text of this
amendment into the Record, along with extraneous material, immediately
prior to the vote on the previous question.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the
gentleman from Texas?
There was no objection.
Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from
Utah (Mr. Curtis), my good friend, to speak on the amendment.
Mr. CURTIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of my legislation,
the Li Wenliang Global Health Public Accountability Act that would
sanction any senior foreign official who conceals information dealing
with the outbreak of a pandemic, including COVID-19.
On December 30, 2019, Li Wenliang warned his medical school
classmates of an outbreak of a SARS-like virus over WeChat.
Wuhan's Public Security Bureau detained, questioned, and forced Dr.
Li to sign a letter confessing he made false comments that severely
disturbed the social order. Tragically, ironically, 5 weeks later on
February 7, 2020, Dr. Li died of a severe case of COVID-19.
A study published in March indicated that if Chinese authorities had
acted just 3 weeks earlier, the number of coronavirus cases could have
been reduced by 95 percent and its geographic spread limited.
By suppressing critical public health information, officials abroad
have demonstrated they care more about maintaining their grip on power
than the health and wellbeing of the world population.
This bill will change that by ensuring these cronies will not see the
perks created by their corruption.
By passing this bill today, we will honor Dr. Li, set the global
standard for transparency, and crack down on corruption and human
rights abuses. I respectfully ask my colleagues to support this
legislation and urge my colleagues to defeat the previous question, so
that we can consider my bill.
Ms. SHALALA. Mr. Speaker, I am prepared to close. I reserve the
balance of my time.
Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time.
Mr. Speaker, we really do not have time to waste. Not only must we
provide for the American people, but we have the added responsibility
of continuing to fight and recover from the coronavirus pandemic.
I hope my colleagues on the other side of the aisle will see the
futility of passing purely partisan appropriations bills. That being
said, there are provisions included in this bill where we can all
agree, and I hope we can sit down and negotiate with the other side so
we can prevent a disruption at the end of the fiscal year for the
American people.
Mr. Speaker, I urge a ``no'' vote on the previous question, ``no'' on
the rule, ``no'' on the underlying measure, and I yield back the
balance of my time.
Ms. SHALALA. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time.
With this appropriations bill we are responding to the crisis of
today while preparing for tomorrow. Americans are out of work,
struggling to make ends meet as this virus wreaks havoc on our health,
on our healthcare system, and on our economy.
The American people deserve a funding bill that makes smart
investments, and this bill does just that. It addresses the hunger that
is plaguing working families. It increases broadband access. It
strengthens our international alliances. It combats climate change. It
increases funding to provide healthcare for veterans. This bill invests
in America and our collective future.
Mr. Speaker, I urge a ``yes'' vote on the rule and the previous
question.
The text of the material previously referred to by Mr. Burgess is as
follows:

Amendment to House Resolution 1060

At the end of the resolution, add the following:
Sec. 6. Immediately upon adoption of this resolution, the
House shall resolve into the Committee of the Whole House on
the state of the Union for consideration of the bill (H.R.
7733) to authorize the imposition of sanctions with respect
to the deliberate concealment or distortion of information
about public health emergencies of international concern, and
for other purposes. All points of order against consideration
of the bill are waived. General debate shall be confined to
the bill and shall not exceed one hour equally divided and
controlled by the chair and ranking minority member of the
Committee on Foreign Affairs. After general debate the bill
shall be considered for amendment under the five-minute rule.
All points of order against provisions in the bill are
waived. When the committee rises and reports the bill back to
the House with a recommendation that the bill do pass, the
previous question shall be considered as ordered on the bill
and amendments thereto to final passage without intervening
motion except one motion to recommit with or without
instructions. If the Committee of the Whole rises and reports
that it has come to no resolution on the bill, then on the
next legislative day the House shall, immediately after the
third daily order of business under clause 1 of rule XIV,
resolve into the Committee of the Whole for further
consideration of the bill.
Sec. 7. Clause 1(c) of rule XIX shall not apply to the
consideration of H.R. 7733.

Ms. SHALALA. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time, and I
move the previous question on the resolution.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on ordering the previous
question.
The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that
the noes appeared to have it.
Ms. SHALALA. 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 230,
nays 189, not voting 11, as follows:
