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 
     in order to consider in the House the bill (H.R. 7608) making 
     appropriations for the Department of State, foreign

     September 30, 2021, and for other purposes. All points of 
     order against consideration of the bill are waived. An 
     amendment in the nature of a substitute consisting of the 
     text of Rules Committee Print 116-59 shall be considered as

     All points of order against provisions in the bill, as 
     amended, are waived. Clause 2(e) of rule XXI shall not apply 
     during consideration of the bill. The previous question shall 
     be considered as ordered on the bill, as amended, and on any 
     further amendment thereto, to final passage without 
     intervening motion except: (1) one hour of debate equally

     this resolution not earlier disposed of. Amendments en bloc 
     offered pursuant to this section shall be considered as read, 
     shall be debatable for 30 minutes equally divided and 
     controlled by the chair and ranking minority member of the 
     Committee on Appropriations or their respective designees, 
     shall not be subject to amendment, and shall not be subject 
     to a demand for division of the question.
       Sec. 4.  All points of order against the further amendments

     Control Act of 1985 and an increase in an appropriation not 
     so designated, or vice versa.

  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:

                             [Roll No. 157]
