EMERGENCY SECURITY SUPPLEMENTAL TO RESPOND TO JANUARY 6TH
APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2021
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman from Texas is recognized.
Ms. GRANGER. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of this bill to provide funding
for the heroes in our National Guard and Capitol Police, as well as the
brave people of Afghanistan who supported our troops overseas.
While I am disappointed it has taken this long to reach an agreement,
the bill before us today is a strong package that deserves our support.
This bill reimburses the National Guard, the Capitol Police, and
their law enforcement partners for the costs they incurred for their
heroic efforts on January 6; and the bill addresses safety and security
concerns by providing necessary improvements to the Capitol Complex.
The bill also provides much-needed assistance to our partners who
supported our military during the war in Afghanistan.
Mr. Speaker, this is a good bill, I urge my colleagues to support it,
and I yield back the balance of my time.
Ms. DeLAURO. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support the bill,
and I yield back the balance of my time.
Ms. PELOSI. Mr. Speaker, this week, when law enforcement officers
testified before the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th
attack on the Capitol, the country saw what we know: that these
officers are heroes.
We thank all who answered the call on January 6th for their valor
that dark day. They risked their lives for others. Hundreds were beaten
and physically harmed. Some became martyrs for democracy.
The four law enforcement heroes who testified this week were courage
and truth personified. And their testimony has moved the Senate to,
finally, act.
Today, I rise in support of this emergency security supplemental
funding bill, which will honor the service and sacrifice of the Capitol
Police, as it keeps the Capitol and Congressional community safe.
This legislation is long-overdue. And, unfortunately, it is under-
funded by billions of dollars, and it falls short of what is needed.
But we cannot wait a day longer to act, so the House plans to pass
it.
Over two months ago, in May, the House honored our heroes by passing
our strong emergency supplemental. Our bill was based on the facts and
findings of briefings, hearings, and reviews, including:
the report that I asked General Honore and his team of experts to
lead in the immediate aftermath of the insurrection,
and the Inspector General's reports to the Committee House
Administration led by Chair Zoe Lofgren.
Unfortunately, the Senate's legislation fails to include many of the
recommendations of these reports that were included in our bill.
In particular, it is disappointing that it does not include funding
for bonuses for institutional workers or for a new Quick Reaction
Force, among other steps.
However, this bill is an important first step, as it helps harden the
Capitol, provide some of the costs of the insurrection and support the
Capitol Police.
Passing this legislation does not end our work to keep the Capitol
safe. Again, this is a first step. The House will continue to work to
enact the recommendations of the Honore report, through other avenues
if needed.
We must come to a time when families and children can visit the
Capitol, lawmakers can do our jobs, press can report, and the Capitol
can function and serve the American people--all with safety and
respect.
I urge a strong and hopefully bipartisan vote for this security
supplemental.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the
gentlewoman from Connecticut (Ms. DeLauro) that the House suspend the
rules and concur in the Senate amendment to the bill, H.R. 3237.
The question was taken.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. In the opinion of the Chair, two-thirds
being in the affirmative, the ayes have it.
Ms. GRANGER. Mr. Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3(s) of House Resolution
8, the yeas and nays are ordered.
The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 416,
nays 11, not voting 4, as follows:
