``(a) In General.--Upon a written petition by an accused
sentenced to imprisonment or death pursuant to a conviction
under this chapter (referred to in this section as the
`applicant'), the Judge Advocate General shall order DNA
testing of specific evidence if the Judge Advocate General
finds that all of the following apply:
``(1) The applicant asserts, under penalty of perjury, that
the applicant is actually innocent of the offense for which
the applicant is sentenced to imprisonment or death.
``(2) The specific evidence to be tested was secured in
relation to the investigation or prosecution of the offense
referenced in the applicant's assertion under paragraph (1).
``(3) The specific evidence to be tested--
``(A) was not previously subjected to DNA testing and the
applicant did not knowingly fail to request DNA testing of
that evidence in a prior motion for postconviction DNA
testing; or
``(B) was previously subjected to DNA testing and the
applicant is requesting DNA testing using a new method or
technology that is substantially more probative than the
prior DNA testing.
``(4) The specific evidence to be tested is in the
possession of the Government and has been subject to a chain
of custody and retained under conditions sufficient to ensure
that such evidence has not been substituted, contaminated,
tampered with, replaced, or altered in any respect material
to the proposed DNA testing.
``(5) The proposed DNA testing is reasonable in scope, uses
scientifically sound methods, and is consistent with accepted
forensic practices.
``(6) The applicant identifies a theory of defense that--
``(A) is not inconsistent with an affirmative defense
presented at trial; and
``(B) would establish the actual innocence of the applicant
of the offense referenced in the applicant's assertion under
paragraph (1).
``(7) If the applicant was convicted following a trial, the
identity of the perpetrator was at issue in the trial.

(6); and
``(B) raise a reasonable probability that the applicant did
not commit the offense.
``(9) The applicant certifies that the applicant will
provide a DNA sample for purposes of comparison.

the following conditions:

the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022
or within three years after the date of the entry of judgment
under section 860c of this title (article 60c), whichever
comes later. Such presumption may be rebutted upon a
showing--
``(i) that the applicant's petition for a DNA test is based
solely upon information used in a previously denied motion;
or
``(ii) of clear and convincing evidence that the
applicant's filing is done solely to cause delay or harass.
``(B) There shall be a rebuttable presumption against
timeliness for any petition not satisfying subparagraph (A)
above. Such presumption may be rebutted upon the Judge
Advocate General's finding--
``(i) that the applicant was or is incompetent and such
incompetence substantially contributed to the delay in the
applicant's motion for a DNA test;
``(ii) the evidence to be tested is newly discovered DNA
evidence;
``(iii) that the applicant's petition is not based solely
upon the applicant's own assertion of innocence and, after
considering all relevant facts

[[Page H4627]]

and circumstances surrounding the petition, a denial would
result in a manifest injustice; or
``(iv) upon good cause shown.
``(C) For purposes of this paragraph--
``(i) the term `incompetence' has the meaning given that
term in section 876b of this chapter (article 76b);

testing to the Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces.

General shall direct the preservation of the specific
evidence relating to a petition under subsection (a).

eligible for representation by appellate defense counsel
under section 870 of this chapter (article 70).

test is ordered by the Judge Advocate General; and

procedures under subsection (f) or (g), as appropriate.

General may order further testing, if appropriate, or may

the DNA evidence, the Judge Advocate General shall--

forward the finding to any appropriate State official.
``(h) Post-testing Procedures; Motion for New Trial or
Resentencing.--
``(1) In general.--Notwithstanding any provision of law
that would bar a motion under this paragraph as untimely, if
DNA test results obtained under this section exclude the
applicant as the source of the DNA evidence, the applicant
may file a petition for a new trial or resentencing, as
appropriate.

resentencing.--The applicant's petition for a new trial or
resentencing, as appropriate, shall be granted if the DNA
test results, when considered with all other evidence in the
case (regardless of whether such evidence was introduced at
trial), establish by compelling evidence that a new trial
would result in the acquittal of the applicant.

shall affect the circumstances under which a person may
obtain DNA testing or post-conviction relief under any other
provision of law.

SEC. 747. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON NATIONAL WARRIOR CALL DAY.

(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) Establishing an annual ``National Warrior Call Day''
will draw attention to those members of the Armed Forces
whose connection to one another is key to our veterans and
first responders who may be dangerously disconnected from
family, friends, and support systems.
(2) The number of suicides of members of the Armed Forces
serving on active duty increased to 377 in 2020, a figure up
from 348 the previous year.
(3) The epidemic of veteran suicide has steadily increased
since 2014 with 6,435 veterans taking their own lives in
2018.
(4) After adjusting for sex and age, the rate of veteran
suicide in 2018 was 27.5 per 100,000 individuals, higher than
the rate among all United States adults at 18.3.

[[Page H4663]]

(5) More veterans have died by suicide in the last 10 years
than members of the Armed Forces who died from combat in
Vietnam.
(6) Roughly two-thirds of these veterans who take their own
lives have had no contact with the Department of Veterans
Affairs.
(7) The COVID-19 pandemic has only increased isolation and
disconnection, further exacerbating mental and physical
ailments such as post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic
brain injury.
(8) The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention note
that law enforcement officers and firefighters are more
likely to die by suicide than in the line of duty, and
emergency medical services providers are 1.39 times more
likely to die by suicide than members of the general public.
(9) Invisible wounds linked to an underlying and
undiagnosed traumatic brain injury can mirror many mental
health conditions, a problem that can be addressed through
connections to members of the Armed Forces and veterans who
can better identify and address these wounds.
(10) Urgent research is needed to highlight the connection
between traumatic brain injury as a root cause of invisible
wounds and suicide by members of the Armed Forces and
veterans.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that
Congress--
(1) supports the designation of a ``National Warrior Call
Day'';
(2) encourages all Americans, especially members of the
Armed Forces serving on active duty and veterans, to call up
a warrior, have an honest conversation, and connect them with
support, understanding that making a warrior call could save
a life; and
(3) implores all Americans to recommit themselves to
engaging with members of the Armed Forces through ``National
Warrior Call Day'' and constructive efforts that result in
solutions and treatment for the invisible scars they carry.

(1) the Taiwan Relations Act (Public Law 96-8; 22 U.S.C.
3301 et seq.) and the Six Assurances provided by the United
States to Taiwan in July 1982 are the foundation for United
States-Taiwan relations;
(2) as set forth in the Taiwan Relations Act, the United
States decision to establish diplomatic relations with the
People's Republic of China rests upon the expectation that
the future of Taiwan will be determined by peaceful means,
and that any effort to determine the future of Taiwan by
other than peaceful means, including boycotts and embargoes,
is of grave concern to the United States;
(3) the increasingly coercive and aggressive behavior of
the People's Republic of China toward Taiwan is contrary to
the expectation of the peaceful resolution of the future of
Taiwan;
(4) as set forth in the Taiwan Relations Act, the capacity
to resist any resort to force or other forms of coercion that
would jeopardize the security, or the social or economic
system, of the people on Taiwan should be maintained;
(5) the United States should continue to support the
development of capable, ready, and modern defense forces
necessary for Taiwan to maintain a sufficient self-defense
capability, including by--
(A) supporting acquisition by Taiwan of defense articles
and services through foreign military sales, direct
commercial sales, and industrial cooperation, with an
emphasis on capabilities that support the asymmetric defense
strategy of Taiwan, including anti-ship, coastal defense,
anti-armor, air defense, undersea warfare, advanced command,
control, communications, computers, intelligence,
surveillance, and reconnaissance, and resilient command and
control capabilities;
(B) ensuring timely review of and response to requests of
Taiwan for defense articles and services;
(C) conducting practical training and military exercises
with Taiwan that enable Taiwan to maintain a sufficient self-
defense capability, as described in the Taiwan Relations Act;
(D) exchanges between defense officials and officers of the
United States and Taiwan at the strategic, policy, and
functional levels, consistent with the Taiwan Travel Act
(Public Law 115-135; 132 Stat. 341), especially for the
purposes of--
(i) enhancing cooperation on defense planning;
(ii) improving the interoperability of the military forces
of the United States and Taiwan; and

(E) identifying improvements in Taiwan's ability to use
asymmetric military capabilities to enhance its defensive
capabilities, as described in the Taiwan Relations Act; and

through security, defense, economic, and people-to-people
ties.

Cooperation Partner'' of the United States, as recognized in
the Strategic Framework Agreement between the United States
and the Republic of Singapore for a Closer Partnership in

2005, plays an important role in the global network of
strategic partnerships, especially in promoting maritime
security and countering terrorism.
(4) The United States values Singapore's provision of
access to its military facilities, which supports the
continued security presence of the United States in Southeast
Asia and across the Indo-Pacific region.
(5) The United States should continue to welcome the
presence of the military forces of Singapore in the United
States for exercises and training, and should consider
opportunities to expand such activities at additional
locations in the United States as appropriate, including
through cooperation mechanisms such as the memorandum of
understanding agreed to by the

[[Page H4694]]

United States and Singapore in December 2019 to establish a
fighter jet training detachment in Guam.
(6) The United States should continue to strengthen all
aspects of the bilateral defense relationship with Singapore,
which benefitted from the signing of the 2015 enhanced
Defense Cooperation Agreement to expand cooperation in the
military, policy, strategic and technology spheres, as well
as cooperation in non-conventional security areas such as
piracy and transnational terrorism, humanitarian assistance
and disaster relief, cyber-security, and biosecurity.
(7) As the United States and Singapore have renewed the
1990 Memorandum of Understanding Regarding the United States
Use of Facilities in Singapore and mark the 55th anniversary
of bilateral relations in 2021, the United States should--

with Singapore to promote peace and stability in the Indo-
Pacific region based on common interests and shared values;

cooperation partner of the United States; and
(C) explore additional steps to better facilitate

United States;
(2) the presence of United States Armed Forces in South
Korea serves as a strong deterrent against North Korean
military aggression and as a critical support platform for
national security engagements in the Indo-Pacific region;
(3) the presence of approximately 28,500 members of the
United States Armed Forces deployed to South Korea serves not
only as a stabilizing force to the Korean peninsula but also
as a reassurance to all our allies in the region; and
(4) the United States should continue to--
(A) maintain and strengthen its bilateral relationship with
South Korea and with other regional allies such as Japan; and
(B) maintain its existing robust military presence in South
Korea to deter aggression against the United States and its

its military facilities and its management and financial
assistance in expanding the Al Udeid Air Base, which supports

SEC. 1302. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON UNITED STATES DEFENSE POSTURE
IN EUROPE.

It is the sense of Congress as follows:
(1) The United States is steadfastly committed to upholding
and strengthening its defense alliances and partnerships in
the European theater. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization
(NATO) alliance is the bedrock of these relationships, which
are central to deterring Russian aggression, upholding
territorial integrity and sovereignty in Europe, countering
malign efforts to undermine the rules-based international
order and disrupt shared values, fostering international
cooperation against collective challenges, and advancing
shared national security objectives worldwide.

[[Page H4695]]

(2) United States allies in Europe have made substantial
strides on responsibility-sharing and defense investment
since the Wales Declaration in 2014 and should be commended
for their ongoing efforts to increase complementary
investments in NATO deterrence capacity. These efforts have
provided an accumulated increase of more than
$130,000,000,000 in foreign investments between 2016 and 2020
to strengthen trans-Atlantic security, and it is essential
that the United States continue to press NATO allies to
achieve their Wales Summit pledges and continue to make
progress on greater complementary defense investments.
(3) The behavior of the Russian Government has not improved
and has, in many aspects, become increasingly belligerent
since the invasion of Ukraine in 2014, with respect to--
(A) military efforts to disrupt the territorial integrity
of sovereign countries in Europe;
(B) threats against the United States, NATO, and other
United States partners;
(C) intervention in allied democratic processes;
(D) efforts to disrupt United States alliances,
partnerships, and values;
(E) acts such as assassination and the use of chemical
weapons on the territory of other sovereign countries; and
(F) other high-risk, disruptive efforts.
(4) Continued commitment to enhancing the United States and
allied force posture in Europe is indispensable for efforts
to establish and sustain a credible deterrent against Russian
aggression and long-term strategic competition by the Russian
government. The Secretary of Defense must continue to--
(A) support the European Deterrence Initiative and other
investments in a strengthened United States and allied force
posture in Europe;
(B) support rotational deployments and robust exercises in
the European theater;
(C) complete efforts to establish prepositioned stocks and
effective staging infrastructure to maintain credible
deterrence against Russian threats;
(D) invest effectively in multi-service, cyber,
information, and air defense efforts to counter modern
military challenges, enhance the survivability and
flexibility of the United States force posture, logistics,
and planning; and
(E) consider whether additional forward-positioned forces
in Europe would reduce cost and strain, enhance credibility,
and strengthen capabilities.

SEC. 1303. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON SECURITY ASSISTANCE TO THE
BALTIC COUNTRIES.

(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) The United States has cumulatively allocated over
$498,965,000 in Department of Defense partner capacity
funding for the Baltic countries since fiscal year 2018,
including over $219,000,000 for the Baltic security efforts
known as the ``Baltic Security Initiative'', executed using
sections 332 and 333 of title 10, United States Code,
including assistance with respect to air defense, maritime
situational awareness, ammunition, C4ISR, anti-tank
capability, special forces, and other defense capabilities.
(2) The Secretary of Defense has completed the
comprehensive Baltic Defense Assessment required by section
1246 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year 2020 and has recommended continued robust, comprehensive
investment Baltic security efforts in accordance with that
assessment, with assistance executed using such sections 332
and 333.
(3) The Secretary of Defense has assessed that the
authority granted by such sections 332 and 333 affords the
most efficient and effective authority to provide this
assistance to the Baltic countries, and that attempting to
provide the assistance pursuant to alternate authorities
would hamper the Department's ability to deliver assistance
and implement the investment program established by the
Baltic Defense Assessment.
(b) Sense of Congress.--Congress strongly supports the
robust assistance to accomplish United States strategic
objectives in accordance with sections 332 and 333 of title
10, United States Code, including by providing assistance to
the Baltic countries using those sections, funded by the
Baltic Security Initiative. It is the sense of Congress that
the security of the Baltic region is crucial to the security
of the NATO alliance and these efforts are critical to ensure
continued deterrence against Russian aggression and bolster
allied security.

Subtitle B--Security Cooperation and Assistance

SEC. 1311. EXTENSION OF AUTHORITY FOR CERTAIN PAYMENTS TO
REDRESS INJURY AND LOSS.

Section 1213(a) of the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 2020 (10 U.S.C. 2731 note) is amended by
striking ``December 31, 2022'' and inserting ``December 31,
2023''.

SEC. 1312. FOREIGN AREA OFFICER ASSESSMENT AND REVIEW.

(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) Foreign Area Officers of the Army and their equivalent
positions in the other Armed Forces (in this section referred
to as ``FAOs'') are trained to manage, grow, and enhance
security cooperation relationships between the United States
and foreign partners and to build the overall military
capacity and capabilities of foreign partners.
(2) At present, some senior defense official positions in
United States embassies are filled by officers lacking the
necessary skills, training, and experience to strengthen the
relationships between the United States and its critical
partners and allies.
(3) FAOs are trained to fill those positions, and
deficiencies in the equitable use, assessment, promotion,
diversity and inclusion of such officers, as well as
limitations on career opportunities, undermine the ability of
the Department of Defense to strengthen partnerships and
alliances of the United States.
(4) A federally funded research and development center can
provide a roadmap to correcting these deficiencies,
strengthening the FAO branch, and placing qualified FAOs in
positions of positive influence over United States
partnerships and alliances.
(b) Assessment and Review Required.--
(1) In general.--Not later than 60 days after the date of
the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall
enter into an agreement with a federally funded research and
development center to conduct an independent assessment and
comprehensive review of the process by which Foreign Area
Officers and their equivalent positions in the other Armed
Forces (in this section referred to as ``FAOs'') are
recruited, selected, trained, assigned, organized, promoted,
retained, and used in security cooperation offices, senior
defense roles in U.S. embassies, and in other critical roles
of engagement with allies and partners.
(2) Elements.--The assessment and review conducted under
paragraph (1) shall include the following:
(A) Identification and assessment of the number and
location of senior defense official billets, including their
grade structure and availability to FAOs.
(B) A review of the cultural, racial, and ethnic diversity
of FAOs.
(C) An assessment of the assignment process for FAOs.
(D) A review and assessment of the promotion criteria,
process, and possible pathways for career advancement for
FAOs.
(E) A review of the organization and categorization of FAOs
by geographic region.
(F) An assessment of the training program for FAOs and its
effectiveness.
(G) An assessment of the available career paths for FAOs.
(H) An assessment of the criteria used to determine
staffing requirements for senior defense official positions
and security cooperation roles for uniformed officers.
(I) A review of the staffing of senior defense official and
security cooperation roles and assessment to determine
whether requirements are being met through the staffing
process.
(J) An assessment of how the broader utilization of FAOs in
key security cooperation and embassy defense leadership
billets would improve the quality and professionalism of the
security cooperation workforce under section 384 of title 10,
United States Code.
(K) A review of how many FAO opportunities are joint-
qualifying and an assessment of whether increasing the number
of joint-qualified opportunities for FAOs would increase
recruitment, retention, and promotion.

PROGRAM.

(a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the Space Force, in collaboration with the United
States Space Command, the military departments, relevant
Defense Agencies and, where practicable, the National
Reconnaissance Office, should continue to build on the
successful Space Safari tactically responsive launch-2
mission of the Space Force, which was a pathfinder to inform
concepts of operation regarding tactically responsive
launches; and
(2) future efforts regarding tactically responsive launches
should not be limited to only launch capabilities, but should
also include all aspects that are needed for rapid
reconstitution and responsiveness to urgent requirements with
respect to satellite buses, payloads, operations, and ground
infrastructure.
(b) Program.--Section 1609 of the William M. (Mac)
Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
2021 (Public Law 116-283) is amended--

Program.--The Secretary''; and
(2) by adding at the end the following new subsection:
``(b) Support.--
``(1) Elements.--The Secretary of Defense, in consultation
with the Director of National Intelligence, shall support the
tactically responsive launch program under subsection (a)
during the period covered by the future-years defense program
submitted to Congress under section 221 of title 10, United
States Code, in 2022 to ensure that the program addresses the
following:
``(A) The ability to rapidly place on-orbit systems to
respond to urgent needs of the commanders of the combatant
commands or to reconstitute space assets and capabilities to
support national security priorities if such assets and
capabilities are degraded, attacked, or otherwise impaired,
including such assets and capabilities relating to protected
communications and intelligence, surveillance, and

phase two of the National Security Space Launch program, the
Department of Defense and the National Reconnaissance Office
should continue to leverage the growing launch provider base
of the United States, including those companies that provide
smaller and ride-share launch capabilities, to incentivize
sustained investment in domestic launch capabilities.
(b) Policy.--With respect to entering into contracts for
launch services during the period beginning on the date of

(1) use the National Security Space Launch program to the
extent practicable to procure launch services that are met
under the requirements of phase two; and
(2) maximize continuous competition for launch services as
the Space Force initiates planning for phase three,
specifically for those technology areas that are unique to
existing and emerging national security requirements.
(c) Notification.--If the Secretary of Defense or the
Director of the National Reconnaissance Office determines
that a program requiring launch services that could be met
using phase two contracts will instead use an alternative
launch procurement approach, not later than seven days after
the date of such determination, the Secretary of Defense or,
as appropriate, the Director of National Intelligence, shall
submit to the appropriate congressional committees--
(1) a notification of such determination;
(2) a certification that the alternative launch procurement
approach is in the national security interest of the United

bombing that resulted in many casualties and more than

(2) the term ``unusually hazardous'' used in Executive
Order 10789, as amended, pursuant to public Law 85-804 (50
U.S.C. 1431 et seq.) should be objectively and consistently
applied to weapons systems and programs whose physical
properties inherently possess substantial explosive energy
whose misapplication or accidental ignition could result in
catastrophic material destruction and human injuries and
deaths;
(3) an inconsistent and arbitrary application of such
Executive Order and law may create significant risk for the
industrial base and loss of critical defense capabilities;
and
(4) the Secretary of the Navy should--
(A) take maximum practicable advantage of existing
statutory authority to provide indemnification for large
rocket programs employing ``unusually hazardous'' propulsion
systems for both nuclear and non-nuclear strategic systems;
and
(B) develop a policy for more consistently applying such
authority.

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

September 21, 2021, on page H4793, the following appeared: Amend
the title so as to read: ``A bill to authorize appropriations for
fiscal year 2022 for military activities of the Department of
Defense, for military construction, and for defense activities of
the Department of Energy, to prescribe military personnel
strengths for such fiscal year, and for other purposes.''

The online version has been corrected to delete the entire
section.

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

The SPEAKER pro tempore. The bill, as amended, is debatable for 1
hour equally divided and controlled by the chair and the ranking
minority member of the Committee on Armed Services or their respective
designees.
The gentleman from Washington (Mr. Smith) and the gentleman from
Alabama (Mr. Rogers) each will control 30 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Washington.

General Leave

Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that
all Members may have 5 legislative days in which to revise and extend
their remarks and include extraneous material on H.R. 4350.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the
gentleman from Washington?
There was no objection.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Speaker, I yield myself 4 minutes.
Madam Speaker, we have before us the National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2022, and I highly recommend it to the Members of
the House and urge everybody to support this incredibly important and
very well put together piece of legislation.

[[Page H4794]]

The first thing I will say is thank you to all of the staff,
certainly on the Armed Services Committee, but the Rules Committee as
well, and the leadership staff. This has been a truly bipartisan
legislative process.
We had our markup in committee which lasted, I will do a little quick
math in my head, something like 16 hours. We considered over 800
amendments, with a variety of different variations, and we got that
number up closer to 1100. And then before the Rules Committee there
were, again, over 800 amendments submitted, and we have worked with
Members of this body, Democrats and Republicans, members on the
committee and off, to craft what I think is a very good piece of
legislation.
I think it is incredibly important, first of all, that we pass this
bill so that Congress continues to exercise its authority to exercise
oversight over the Department of Defense.
I know Members on both sides of this aisle have lamented throughout
the years the degree to which the executive branch has exerted more
power over the years, where the legislative branch has exhibited less.
Now, granted, you find that issue more troubling when the opposite
party is in charge of the White House, but we are all troubled by that
phenomena.
We need to exercise our authority; this bill does that. To my mind,
Congress does not pass enough authorizing bills, but we do do so in the
Department of Defense, and have done so for over 60 straight years, and
should do so again.
This bill, I think, is particularly important because we are at an
important moment in defense of this country and in dealing with our
role in the world. We have never faced a more complex threat
environment. We have threats from Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, and
transnational terrorist groups.
In addition, we are now coming out of 20 years of war fought in Iraq
and Afghanistan, both countries of which our military now is out and
not fighting those wars, and we have a whole bunch of change to deal
with.

At the same time, innovation has never been more important in
properly defending this country. We need to update and modernize our
armed forces, everything from our information systems, to our command
and control, to our platforms, to the support we give to our
servicemembers. I am very proud that this bill reflects those
priorities.
And the work has been done between Mr. Rogers and myself and members
of the committee to produce that product. And I want to take a moment
here to thank Mr. Rogers, the ranking member, he has been a terrific
partner in this process, as has his staff and as has his members.
I think this bill reflects those priorities. It figures out how to
improve our ability to update the military more quickly, to better buy
software, to better innovate, to better embrace the innovative
technologies that we need.
Madam Speaker, I want to particularly thank Mr. Langevin, as the
subcommittee chair, who has taken the lead on the AI task force that
looks at this question in great specificity. This bill really puts us
in a position to modernize the force as we need to.
One other crucial issue that we do in this is we address the issue of
sexual assault in the military that continues to be a scourge upon
service in the military. We have worked for years to try to address
this issue, we have not been successful.
This year, thanks in large part to the leadership of Congresswoman
Speier, we have updated the UCMJ to create a special victims'
prosecutor to give sexual assault and sex crimes the attention they
deserve to make sure that we are protecting the men and women who serve
in the military. It is a crucial aspect of this bill, and I strongly
urge Members to support it.
Lastly, let me just say that as you pore over this bill, everybody
here will find something that they do not like. Everybody here will
also find something that they wish was in there that is not. There is
no doubt about that, because it is a very large bill, and it was a
collaborative process.
But it is the nature of the legislative process that you don't get
absolutely everything that you want. I hope Members will keep that in
mind. But it is also the nature of the legislative process, in this
case, that we have produced a product that everybody in this House can
be proud of.
And, again, I want to thank my Republican counterpart. We have worked
together to produce this. I urge support from all Members. This is a
bill every Member, Democrat and Republican, can enthusiastically
support, and I reserve the balance of my time.

Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I
may consume.
Madam Speaker, I, too, rise in strong support of H.R. 4350, the
fiscal year National Defense Authorization Act.
H.R. 4350 represents a truly bipartisan bill, and I want to thank
Chairman Smith for his tremendous leadership and cooperation in helping
fashion it. This has been a truly bipartisan endeavor.

{time} 2115

Over the last few months, we have seen the best of our soldiers,
sailors, airmen, marines, and guardians. They have performed in the
toughest of environments with the greatest level of skill and
professionalism. Many gave their lives so others would have a chance
for a better life. Without a doubt, our military is the greatest force
the world has ever seen.
Providing the authorities and resources for our service that our
servicemembers need to defend our Nation and defeat our adversaries is
the greatest responsibility we have here in Congress. We accomplished
that responsibility with the bill before us today. H.R. 4350 ensures
our warfighters are the best equipped and trained in the world.
The bill puts our servicemembers first, providing a 2.7 percent pay
increase and expanding benefits for their families. It also puts
American workers first with historic investments in our defense
industrial base. It also begins divesting legacy systems that will not
help us deter future threats. Instead, it invests in new technologies
like AI, hypersonics, and quantum computing that will help us stay
ahead of our adversaries.
That is important because Russia and China are rapidly modernizing
their militaries. China is outpacing us with advancements in emerging
technologies and weapons systems, and we know China isn't building
these capabilities purely for defense. In recent years, we have seen
China use its military to push out its borders, threaten our allies,
and gain footholds on new continents.
H.R. 4350 is laser-focused on preparing our military to prevail in a
conflict with China. It makes critical investments in new systems
capable of surviving in a contested environment. It includes provisions
that will remove China from our defense supply chain, and it reaffirms
our support to allies in the region, especially Taiwan. Unfortunately,
threats from near peer adversaries like China and Russia are not the
only ones we face. Terrorists continue their plots to destroy our way
of life, and we must continue to take the fight to them anywhere and
anytime they threaten us. With strong investments in new capabilities
and readiness, this bill enables our warfighters to do just that.
Finally, regardless of how you feel about the war in Afghanistan,
Madam Speaker, I think we are all horrified by its disastrous
withdrawal. This bill includes over 20 provisions to provide
accountability to get us answers to questions we have been asking for
here for months.
This is a strong, bipartisan bill that will enhance our oversight of
the DOD and ensure our military is properly resourced and equipped to
defend our Nation and our allies.
Madam Speaker, I urge all Members to support the bill, and I reserve
the balance of my time.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the
gentleman from Rhode Island (Mr. Langevin).
Mr. LANGEVIN. Madam Speaker, I thank the chairman for yielding.
Madam Speaker, I rise in strong support of the National Defense
Authorization Act. I commend Chairman Smith and Ranking Member Rogers

[[Page H4799]]

for their bipartisan cooperation in bringing the bill to the floor. I
also want to thank Ranking Member Banks and former Ranking Member
Stefanik for their bipartisan collaboration this year. I would also
like to thank the members of the Cyber, Innovative Technologies, and
Information Systems Subcommittee for their hard work, particularly Vice
Chair Houlahan.
Thanks to the work of my subcommittee, this legislation harnesses
cutting-edge technology to benefit our warfighters and our national
security. This legislation includes a 36 percent increase in defense-
wide basic and applied research and development and significant
increases for historically Black colleges and universities.
This bill also includes many provisions recommended by the National
Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence, which I offered as a
package of amendments during our committee markup. We are taking
important steps in addressing the promises and challenges of this
powerful technology, and I am thankful for the commission cochairs,
Secretary Bob Work and Dr. Eric Schmidt, and members of that committee
as well for their service.
The NDAA builds off the important work of the Cyberspace Solarium
Commission by establishing the Joint Collaborative Environment at the
Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, called CISA. This
program, which will live at the newly established Joint Cyber Defense
Collaborative, or JCDC, will facilitate public-private cooperation in
analyzing cyber threats.
Beyond the CITI provisions, the NDAA fully funds the Virginia-class
and Columbia-class submarine programs which are crucial to our
deterrence posture against China. I am so proud to represent the Rhode
Islanders who construct these amazing vessels and do their part in
keeping us safe.
I am also proud of the reforms we made to the Uniform Code of
Military Justice to address sexual assault and extremism and of our
efforts to defend our military infrastructure against climate change.
These achievements would not be possible, of course, without the work
of my subcommittee staff: staff lead Michael Hermann; Bess Dopkeen,
Troy Nienberg, and Josh Stiefel.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentleman has expired.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Speaker, I yield the gentleman from
Rhode Island an additional 30 seconds.
Mr. LANGEVIN. I also thank minority staff, Sarah Moxley. Our clerk,
Caroline Kehrli, is departing the subcommittee, and her work has been
incredibly invaluable. My legislative director, Caroline Goodson, and
military fellow, Juliann Hitt, also made significant contributions to
the bill.
Madam Speaker, Chairman Smith has, once again, done a masterful job
leading us through this process, and I urge all of my colleagues to
support the NDAA.
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the
gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Turner).
Mr. TURNER. Madam Speaker, I support the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022. Thanks to the leadership of
Chairman Smith and Ranking Member Rogers, as well as the chairman of
the Strategic Forces Subcommittee, Jim Cooper, this year's NDAA was,
once again, compiled and reported for consideration on the floor today
in a bipartisan manner. This bill is also the product of the diligent
work of the committee staff whom I would like to thank including the
Strategic Forces Subcommittee's PSMs, Maria Vastola, Grant Schneider,
Ryan Tully, Whitney Verett, and Zach Taylor, as well as the committee's
majority staff director, Paul Arcangeli, and minority staff director,
Chris Vieson.
Admiral Richard, the Commander of U.S. Strategic Command, has told us
we are facing a situation our Nation has not encountered before. We
must deter two peer nuclear-capable competitors simultaneously and must
do so with each being deterred differently. I am confident that the FY
2022 NDAA before us today places us on the right path to properly
observe both Russia and China.
First and foremost, the bill increases top line defense spending by
nearly $25 billion, reversing the harmful and reckless cuts from the
President's budget, ensuring an annual growth of 5 percent over the
previous year, and funding the DOD's most critical unfunded priorities.
Next, with one exception, the NDAA continues to fully fund programs
within the Department of Defense and Department of Energy that
modernize the Nation's nuclear triad and modernize the nuclear command,
control, and communications systems. This is especially critical to
maintaining a safe, secure, and reliable strategic deterrent while
China is undergoing an unprecedented and massive nuclear build-up and
Russia is undertaking significant modernization of all three legs of
its triad. Also, both Russia and China are developing brand-new, novel
nuclear delivery systems.
This NDAA fully funds capabilities necessary for the defense of Guam
and prohibits reduction of our ICBM inventory while simultaneously
halting efforts to retire or reconvert our low-yield nuclear warheads,
which are currently deployed in defense of our Nation. And this NDAA
reverses President Biden's detrimental and dangerous budgetary cuts to
our missile defense systems.
Madam Speaker, I encourage all Members to support this bill.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the
gentleman from Maine (Mr. Golden), who is a member of the committee.
Mr. GOLDEN. Madam Speaker, I rise in support of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022.
This measure, which passed out of our committee with a strong
bipartisan vote, reflects our commitment to strengthening our national
security and serving those who serve all of us.
I am particularly proud of the efforts of the Seapower and Projection
Forces Subcommittee. This bill reflects the constructive input of
members of the subcommittee from both sides of the aisle and makes a
strong mark on our national security priorities on, above, and below
the seas.
For shipbuilding, the bill expands on the budget request to authorize
13 battle force ships. This reflects our committee's focused effort to
scrub the budget and our shipbuilding plans to augment our Navy fleet
responsibly and consistently in a manner which our industrial base can
support to respond to emerging threats around the world. This includes
the sustained construction of two Virginia-class submarines a year and
continued production of the Columbia-class submarine program. We
augment our surface capabilities by authorizing three new DDG 51
destroyers, one of our most capable surface platforms, and authorizing
the Navy to seek a new contract for up to 15 ships over the next 5
years.
This bill also continues the committee's efforts to provide the Navy
and Defense Department with tools needed to concurrently build the new
12 sub Columbia class without suffocating the rest of the Navy's fleet.
Specifically, the bill expands the authority of the National Sea-Based
Deterrence Fund to allow for multiyear, continuous production of key
components. Recent data from the Navy shows that the use of this
authority since our subcommittee enacted it in 2015 has already saved
the Navy $1.4 billion in the Columbia program to the tune of over $100
million per boat. This bill will increase those cost savings by
expanding the scope of those tools to other components of the platform.
The bill also includes full funding to start the new sealift Tanker
Security Program, an initiative we passed last year to get more U.S.-
built tankers to sea. The bill supports the budget request for the
fifth planned National Security Multi-Mission Vessel, another
initiative to boost maritime training and sealift capacity.
At every step of the way, our subcommittee and the full committee
accommodated many bipartisan initiatives throughout this process. That
is how the legislative process should work, and we are proud that our
committee remains a place for constructive bipartisan collaboration.
Madam Speaker, on behalf of our Nation's security, I urge support for
the bill.
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the
gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Lamborn), who is the ranking member of the
Readiness Subcommittee.
Mr. LAMBORN. Madam Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding.

[[Page H4800]]

Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 4350. We have
maintained the bipartisan tradition of the Armed Services Committee.
Now, while this administration promotes weakness abroad and tyranny
at home, robust support for defense in this bill ensures that our
adversaries understand that our military has the resources required to
stymy their aggressive ambitions which will guarantee that our military
will succeed if called upon.
This legislation will enhance readiness by funding the unfunded
requests of the services and the co-coms. It will maintain our
commitment to the nuclear triad and modernization and aggressively
enhance our space capabilities. It protects our troops against
punishment for personal politics, prohibits dishonorable discharge for
COVID vaccination refusal, and requires a plan for exemptions. And it
begins to hold the Biden administration accountable for Afghanistan.

Now, while this bill fosters U.S.-Israeli cooperation, including $300
million for multiple collaborative programs, anti-Israel Democrats have
stripped the continuing resolution of $1 billion for the Iron Dome
missile defense system.
What does it say about the Progressive Caucus that they object to
Israeli citizens defending themselves from missile attacks?
It is reprehensible and anti-Semitic.
Nevertheless, this bill as it currently stands is a bipartisan bill.
I thank the chairman and ranking member for maintaining the
collaborative nature of our committee. I want to thank especially the
chairman of the Readiness Subcommittee, John Garamendi, for his
leadership and commitment to bipartisanship. I thank my readiness team,
Ian, Dave, and Whitney, for their invaluable hard work during this
process.
Madam Speaker, I encourage a ``yes'' vote.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the
gentleman from California (Mr. Garamendi), who is the chairman of the
Readiness Subcommittee.
Mr. GARAMENDI. Madam Speaker, today I rise in support of the fiscal
year 2022 NDAA. I would like to start by thanking Chairman Smith;
Ranking Member Rogers; and my colleague on the subcommittee, Mr.
Lamborn; and, of course, the House Armed Services staff who have worked
many long nights putting this NDAA together. The bill that is before
the House is a good bill, and I encourage my colleagues to support it.
The jurisdiction of the Readiness Subcommittee covers a broad range
of topics from civilian personnel, sustainment, and contested logistics
to military construction, energy safety and environmental policy. With
that in mind, I would just like to highlight some of the issues we have
dealt with.
Consistent with our work over the last 2 years, the readiness
provisions continue efforts to address the climate change challenges of
extreme weather and the necessity to reduce the greenhouse gas emitted
by the U.S. military--the largest single emitter in the world. We
require each installation to develop a master plan to do these things.
The health and safety of our servicemembers will always be a top
priority of the subcommittee. The bill elevates the department's focus
on safety by establishing the Joint Safety Council and requiring the
DOD to develop a plan for the establishment of a Mishap Investigation
Review Board to provide oversight and independent review of safety and
mishap investigations.
This mark continues the subcommittee's work to improve the conditions
for the servicemembers and their quality-of-life infrastructures, such
as military family housing, barracks, and child development centers.
We also step up the military's requirement to address the PFAS
contamination on and off bases.
The bill helps advance our military's near-term readiness goals and
drives the department to plan for and take action against long-term
threats.
Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support the fiscal year 2022
NDAA.
Madam Speaker, today I rise in support of the fiscal year 2022
National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). I would like to start by
thanking Chairman Smith, Ranking Member Rogers, and the House Armed
Services Committee staff who have worked many long nights putting
together this year's NDAA. The bill that is before the House is a good
bill, and I encourage my colleagues to support its passage.
As the Chairman of the Readiness Subcommittee, I believe the bill
upholds our responsibility to provide congressional oversight of and
support to the sustainment, logistics, infrastructure, and readiness of
our military. I'd like to take a moment and thank my staff for their
tireless work--the Readiness Subcommittee staff, Jeanine Womble,
Melanie Harris, Jay Vallario, Wendell White, Ian Bennitt, Dave
Sienicki, and Sean Falvey, and my personal staff, Betsy Thompson,
Rebecca Wolf, and Scott Bohn. I am proud of the Readiness
Subcommittee's contribution to this year's bill, and I'd like to
highlight the following provisions.
Consistent with our work from the last two years, the Readiness
provisions in the NDAA continue efforts to address the climate change
challenges of extreme weather and the necessity to reduce the
greenhouse gases emitted by the U.S. military, the largest single
entity in the world. The bill:
Requires each military department to complete installation master
plans at two of their most at-risk installations within one year of
enactment;
Requires the Department to amend DOD building codes to require
consideration of microgrids with islanding capability as part of
planned new construction, and encourages the department to renegotiate
contracts related to existing on-installation renewable energy projects
to enhance installation resiliency during power disruptions;
Requires installation commanders to consult with local governments to
ensure installation master plans include outside the fence line
resiliency considerations;
Requires the Department to assess energy and water usage at existing
data centers and set conservation goals for new data centers; and
Requires the Department to include EV charging infrastructure needs
in their planning for new domestic military construction, and requires
the Department to adopt industry standard planning considerations in
the development and rollout of charging infrastructure at military
installations.
The bill also builds on efforts to address contested logistics
challenges involving near-peer competitors by strengthening operational
energy programs:
Requires the Department to create a working group of program
planners, energy staff, joint staff, and geographic combatant commands
to enhance integration of military department energy initiatives into
operational planning and platform development to combat contested
logistics challenges;
Requires the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Energy,
Installations, and Environment to report on alternative fuels and
mandates the conduct of a wholistic review of the associated
production, transportation, geopolitical, commercial, and research and
development of alternative energy; and
Requires the Secretary of Defense to designate a Combatant Command as
the agency responsible for global bulk fuel storage, delivery, and
distribution, and directs the so-designated Combatant Command to
conduct a strategy on the infrastructure and programs necessary to
optimally support global bulk fuel management of the Department of
Defense.
The FY22 NDAA also builds on the Committee's previous legislative and
oversight activities to address poor conditions in barracks, child
development centers and housing:
Requires the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Energy,
Installations, and Environment to report on and provide a list of
domestic facilities and average facility childcare wait list, assess
efforts to find solutions and reduce wait times, assess the extent to
which staffing availability impacts childcare availability, and assess
whether including childcare facilities in agreements for new private
housing would be an effective solution;
Requires the military departments to conduct safety inspections and
develop 10-year facility improvement plans for child development
centers; and
Requires the Department to place higher priority on the sustainment
of quality-of-life facilities such as barracks by setting aside a
percentage of infrastructure sustainment funds for that purpose.
Additionally, the bill builds on the committee's oversight activities
to address preventable training accidents and build a culture of safety
in the military departments:
Establishes a Joint Safety Council within the Office of the Deputy
Secretary of Defense that advises on all operational safety matters,
establishes safety standards, collects and analyzes safety data, and
develops safety priorities;
Addresses concerns about the quality and objectivity of the military
department's mishap investigations by directing the Deputy Secretary of
Defense to develop a plan for the establishment of a Mishap
Investigation Review

[[Page H4801]]

Board, which would provide oversight and independent review of mishap
investigations;
Requires the Secretaries of the Army and Marine Corps to develop a
plan to address the recommendations contained in GAO's recent report on
tactical vehicle mishaps; and
Requires the Secretary of Defense to review the risks, benefits, and
plans for enhancing the protections for combat uniforms in an effort to
protect service members from flash fires.
Furthermore, the bill continues efforts to address contamination
associated with per- and polyfluorinated compounds on and around
military installations:
Requires the Department of Defense to review current practices to
prevent or mitigate AFFF spills and promulgate best practices for spill
prevention and mitigation, enterprise wide;
Increases transparency and facilitates information-sharing with
defense communities impacted by PFAS contamination; and
Places a temporary moratorium on the incineration of PFAS-
contaminated materials until DOD adopts and promulgates EPA interim
guidance for disposal.
The bill continues to build on efforts to support the Department of
Defense civilian workforce:
Requires the Secretary of Defense to provide a report detailing the
number of military, civilian, and contractor personnel assigned to or
employed by OSD over the past ten years, to assess whether the number
of civilian billets in OSD-Policy has kept pace with changes in the
organization's mission over time, and to provide a recommendation as to
whether an increase to OSD's statutory personnel caps is necessary to
ensure sufficient civilian staffing and enable corrective action for
any inappropriate contracting;
Prohibits changes to the size or function of the Naval Audit Service
until the Comptroller General completes a report on the operations of
the Naval Audit Service;
Requires the Secretary of Defense to develop a plan to address the
recommendations contained in the Comptroller General of the United
States report entitled ``Sexual Harassment and Assault: Guidance Needed
to Ensure Consistent Tracking, Response, and Training for Department of
Defense Civilians;'' and
Requires that the Secretary of Defense to establish relevant metrics,
collect and report on diversity statistics, and report on the status of
diversity and inclusion efforts among the civilian work force.
The bill also continues efforts to ensure modern weapons systems are
sustainable and affordable over time and to support our industrial
base:
Requires the Comptroller General to report on organic maintenance
capability and capacity within the F-35 program including depot
standup, technical data requirements, unique tooling, and contractor
assistance in depot standup; assess the potential to transition supply-
chain management from a contractor-led to a government-led function,
and; assess key field-level maintenance challenges as well as
mitigating actions.
Requires the Comptroller General to provide annual reports in the
years 2022-2025 on the F-35 program sustainment system, including an
analysis of the sustainment strategy, an analysis of the Department's
ability to reduce costs toward affordability metrics, and an analysis
of the Department's efforts to provide oversight of key contractor-led
sustainment functions.
Requires the Secretary of Defense to initiate a pilot program to
develop a digital twin of the facilities and operations of at least one
government-owned and operated military depot that is not a shipyard.
Requires the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition,
Logistics, and Technology to review efforts to digitize field-level
maintenance for ground vehicles.
The FY22 NDAA supports the missions at Travis and Beale Air Force
Bases in my district, and I'm also pleased this NDAA includes a 2.7
percent pay raise for our troops. Additional provisions that I was
instrumental in securing include:
Requiring the Secretary of Defense to continue the FireGuard program,
where the National Guard assists in detecting and monitoring wildfires,
for at least the next five years;
Including bill language that adds transparency to the Civil Reserve
Air Fleet program, and that aligns requirements for charter
transportation of both Department of Defense personnel and cargo;
Prohibiting the use of open-air burn pits during overseas contingency
operations unless an exemption is issued by the President of The United
States for a particular location. Thirty days after an exemption is
granted, the President would be required to submit a report to Congress
detailing the location, size, duration, and need of the burn pit, the
number of personnel assigned to the location, and the personal
protective equipment or other methods that will be used by those
personnel to mitigate the health effects of said pit;
Directing the Department to pay fees associated with the transfer of
adopted dogs to the adoption agency or individual and directing the
inclusion of veterinary care and services into the Joint Trauma
Education and Training Directorate;
Including significant Facilities Sustainment, Restoration, and
Modernization (FSRM) projects on DOD's online listing of military
construction projects and MILCON contracting awards; and
Authorizing the Maritime Administrator to use appropriated funds to
purchase duplicate medals authorized under the Merchant Mariners of
World War II Congressional Gold Medal Act of 2020. This awards the
Congressional Gold Medal--one of our nation's highest honors--to the
Merchant Marine Veterans of World War II.
This bill helps advance our military's near-term readiness goals and
drives the Department to plan for and take action against long-term
threats, and with that, I urge my colleagues to support the FY22 NDAA.

{time} 2130

Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the
gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Wittman), the ranking member of the
Seapower and Projection Forces Subcommittee.
Mr. WITTMAN. Madam Speaker, I thank the ranking member for yielding.
I want to preface by saying that I do not agree with everything in
this bill, but the committee-passed bill is worthy of support.
I want to especially thank Ranking Member Rogers and Chairman Smith
for their attention to minimizing extraneous provisions in the markup
that have little to do with our national security or supporting our
servicemembers. Our struggle to close conference last year because of
these issues were wholly associated with provisions that are not
connected to national security. And these attempts, I believe, were
offensive, and similar attempts to include these unnecessary provisions
this year should be rebuffed.
Unfortunately, Speaker Pelosi has not listened to the lessons learned
from last year's conference and has decided to add several non-germane
bills to the NDAA at Rules that have nothing to do with defense.
I want to make this clear for my colleagues offering these
amendments: We should not use servicemembers as a tool to achieve
partisan gain. I repeat: We should not use servicemembers as a tool to
achieve partisan gain. And I voted in opposition to the rule, but I
hope that I can vote for final passage of this year's NDAA.
As to the committee mark, we started with an anemic budget request
from the Biden administration that in the Seapower portfolio requested
only eight ships, two of which were fleet tugboats. How the
administration can set China as the pacing threat and reduce Navy force
structure is simply baffling.
Fortunately, with the leadership of Ranking Member Rogers and others
on the committee, we were able to authorize additional funds to the
defense top line to provide the real growth necessary to dissuade
future conflict. With this, we authorized 13 battle force ships and
rebuffed the administration's request to retire three cruisers.
Additionally, we sought to expand the submarine industrial base by
authorizing funds that enable a submarine construction build rate of
three by 2025. The mark also includes critical capabilities to support
our Nation's deterrence with continued strong investments in the
Columbia-class ballistic missile submarine and the B-21 Raider bomber.
I think this is a good bill in its current form, and it is worthy of
my colleagues' support.
MR. SMITH of Washington. Madam Speaker, I yield myself 1\1/2\ minutes
just to address a couple things the gentleman from Virginia said.
I want to be clear, it is the longstanding practice of our committee
that we take issues that are not in our jurisdiction. We have done it
under Republican leadership. We have done it under Democratic
leadership.
It is also the longstanding practice of our committee to work with
the committees of jurisdiction, and only if in a bipartisan, bicameral
way those committees of jurisdiction agree, does it ultimately go into
the conference report. So you don't need to be afraid of stuff that you
don't like. Work with

[[Page H4802]]

your committees of jurisdiction and it goes into the conference report
if we get agreement. If it doesn't, it doesn't.
Second, last year that is not what held us up. The two things that
held us up last year were one thing that was very much within the
jurisdiction of this committee, and that was whether or not to rename
military bases; to change the names of the bases named for
Confederates, very much in our jurisdiction.
And the second thing was President Trump's last-second desire, out of
nowhere, to add section 230 to the bill. We weren't held up by these
things, and we will not be held up this year. If the committees of
jurisdiction do not agree, we don't do it. We just have that
negotiation. If they can, we give them a ride. So don't need to worry
about that. It is a good bill. Go ahead and vote for it.
Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from California
(Ms. Speier), the chairwoman of the Military Personnel Subcommittee.
Ms. SPEIER. Madam Speaker, I am proud to speak in support of this
bill which passed out of our committee with overwhelming bipartisan
support.
This year's NDAA continues the committee's tradition of improving the
lives of servicemembers and their families by supporting a 2.7 percent
pay raise; increasing parental leave for new mothers and fathers,
including adoptive and foster parents; expanding financial assistance
for in-home child care; improving the legal representation for
exceptional family members; and demanding an independent review of
suicides.
Following the horrifying murder of Specialist Vanessa Guillen and a
ground swell of activism from survivors of military sexual trauma, H.R.
4350 also boldly confronts sexual assault and harassment in the
military, which has been one of my top priorities for a decade, by
removing the commander from decisions related to prosecution of special
victim crimes, improving sexual harassment investigations, and
continuing to improve military criminal investigative resources.
It also establishes standalone offenses for sexual harassment and
violent extremism under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
These reforms will increase trust in the military justice system and
encourage survivors of sexual violence to come forward. The bill also
requires an independent review of whether to transfer additional
offenses such as murder that are out of the chain of command.
Where servicemembers serve, so do their families. That has been our
mantra on this subcommittee, which is why this bill ensures that the
military health system continues to have sufficient providers to meet
beneficiaries' healthcare needs.
H.R. 4350 also improves services covered under TRICARE, including
contraception, without copays.
Together, servicemembers and their families make sacrifices for our
Nation, and we must continue our commitment to them.
I want to thank the ranking member, Congressman Mike Gallagher, the
extraordinary staff of the committee: Ilka Regino, David Giachetti,
Hannah Kaufman, Glen Diehl, and the fearless Staff Director Paul
Arcangeli, and also Josh Connolly and Brian Collins from my staff.
Thanks to Chairman Smith and Ranking Member Rogers for an
extraordinary NDAA.
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the
gentlewoman from Missouri (Mrs. Hartzler), the ranking member of the
Tactical Air and Land Forces Subcommittee.
Mrs. HARTZLER. Madam Speaker, each year Congress considers one of the
most important pieces of legislation, the National Defense
Authorization Act. I applaud the bipartisan leadership of Chairman Adam
Smith and Ranking Member Mike Rogers.
And as the ranking member of the Tactical Air and Land Forces
Subcommittee, I want to thank our subcommittee chairman, Donald
Norcross, for his collaborative, bipartisan efforts.
I am pleased the committee approved a bipartisan amendment in markup
to increase the top line by $23.9 billion. This increase is needed to
continue the progress we have made in rebuilding readiness and will
facilitate modernization programs necessary to prepare our military
forces to compete with, deter, and win against peer challengers and
adversaries.
Under the subcommittee's jurisdiction, this bill continues critical
oversight of the Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps' strike-fighter
force structure and inventory management, setting better conditions for
ensuring the right mix of fourth and fifth generation fighters, and
managing operational risk. Specifically, this legislation authorizes
funding for 80 F-35 Joint Strike Fighters, 24 F-15EX aircraft, and 12
F/A-18 Super Hornets.
The legislation also reverses several proposed cuts, including
procurement for the Army's small caliber ammunition accounts. It also
facilitates stronger oversight to ensure current ISR and counter UAS
capabilities and capacity are maintained and prioritized to mitigate
near-term operational risk and prevent future capability gaps.
Outside the subcommittee's jurisdiction, I am pleased that this bill
includes several provisions regarding the disastrous withdrawal from
Afghanistan, including my provision requiring an accounting of the
decision to leave Bagram Air Base.
I am also pleased this legislation includes two of my bills, the
CADET Act and the Connecting the Community to End Military Suicide Act.
I do have concerns with several provisions in the underlying bill,
including the selective service, and I am hopeful we can work in a
bipartisan manner to address those. I encourage support.
MR. SMITH of Washington. Madam Speaker, I am pleased to yield 2
minutes to the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Norcross), the chair of
the Tactical Air and Land Forces Subcommittee.
Mr. NORCROSS. Madam Speaker, I thank the chairman for his work and
commitment to this country's security.
Madam Speaker, this bill continues the long, proud tradition of
bipartisan work for the Tactical Air and Land Subcommittee; our
commitment to securing our Nation and willingness to work through and
share responsibility for the tough choices resulting in this bill, a
bill that keeps America's land and air forces the best in the world.
I particularly want to thank our ranking member, Mrs. Hartzler, for
her input, her steadfast support in building this strong, bipartisan
bill. Certainly, though we may disagree at times, we put the safety and
security of our Nation and servicemen first and work together to pass
this vital piece of legislation.
I also want to thank our vice chair, Representative Sherrill of New
Jersey, for her help.
Madam Speaker, this bill equips and modernizes our Armed Forces by
carefully and thoughtfully managing resources. At the same time, this
bill continues the necessary oversight to ensure responsibility of the
execution by the DOD. This bill enacts: Vigorous oversight of our most
complex and expensive program, the F-35, certainly an ambitious
modernization strategy by the Army and a host of others; and of
particular importance to me and Mrs. Hartzler, strong support for risk
reduction in our defense industrial base.
To this point, this bill also includes my Buy American provision,
which brings back jobs to the U.S. and can ensure that we get what we
need when we need it, securing our fragile supply chain.
I do want to take a moment in closing to thank the subcommittee
staff, those who serve on this committee, certainly, led by Bill Sutey,
Heath Bope, Carla Zeppieri, Liz Griffin, and Kelly Repair, and the last
day of our clerk, Caroline, who has done a wonderful job; and to my
personal staff, Katie Lee, Chris Macleish, and Mark Moses.
This is a bill that America can support and, certainly, we are
encouraging all our Members to support this NDAA for fiscal year `22.
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the
gentleman from Mississippi (Mr. Kelly), the ranking member of the
Intelligence and Special Operations Subcommittee.
Mr. KELLY of Mississippi. Madam Speaker, today I rise in strong
support of the FY22 NDAA. Our military has and is facing unprecedented
challenges, and this body is duty-bound to ensure

[[Page H4803]]

our military is adequately funded and has the tools to win. We also do
this by empowering American companies and the industrial base that
provides goods and services to the DOD.
The hardworking Mississippians who work for companies like Airbus,
Huntington Ingalls, Winchester, General Dynamics, Stark Aerospace,
SpaceX and General Atomics keep our Nation safe and deserve the support
of our Congress.
This bill includes a Republican amendment boosting the defense top
line by nearly $25 billion and reverses the administration's reckless
cuts to our national security, restoring funding for shipbuilding,
procurement, missile defense, and modernization.

This bill will also fund the unfunded top priorities of our military
that the White House failed to support. Once passed, this bill further
bolsters our military's ability to maintain its dominance in every
domain, and ensures military leaders have the resources to take care of
servicemembers and military families.
Additionally, this year's NDAA will begin the process of holding the
White House accountable for the mistakes in Afghanistan. For months, we
have asked for more detail on the so-called over-the-horizon strategy
to conduct counterterrorism. We received scant details ahead of the
withdrawal, and America deserves answers to why the withdrawal was so
unorganized in planning and execution run by the Commander in Chief and
the State Department.
The lack of planning leading up to the withdrawal and the continued
inability to maintain control on the ground by this administration is
staggering. The Armed Services Committee, particularly this
Subcommittee on Intelligence and Special Operations, will not allow
these weaknesses of the administration to continue to place our
citizens, allies, partners, and overall national security at risk.
This year's bill calls for the administration to provide a plan to
get the rest of the American citizens out.
Finally, I would be remiss without asking about my teammates, which
is Tony Starks, Colin Hawkins, and Rodney Hall, professional staffer,
Patrick Nevins, and my battle buddy in all of this, Ranking Member
Gallego.
I ask my colleagues to support this bill.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the
gentleman from Arizona (Mr. Gallego), the chair of the Intelligence and
Special Operations Subcommittee.
Mr. GALLEGO. Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 4350, the
National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2022.
I congratulate my colleagues for fulfilling our obligation to debate
and pass the National Defense Authorization Act. This year's bill
contains multiple provisions to address strategic challenges presented
by China, to confront our adversaries in the gray zone of conflict, and
to strengthen the relationships with key allies and partners.
As chair of the Intelligence and Special Operations Subcommittee, I
am proud of the provisions in this bill that represent critical reforms
to the defense intelligence enterprise, special operations forces, our
ability to counter weapons of mass destruction.

{time} 2145

Our bill creates more agility across the defense intelligence
enterprise by breaking down barriers to information sharing to enhance
warfighters and combatant commanders in their ability to counter China
and Russia in the information environment and focusing on expanding
access to partners such as India and our steadfast Nordic partners such
as Finland.
The bill further supports rigorous oversight of our security posture
in Afghanistan and includes provisions to better understand the
Department's plans to address the threat environment while postured in
an over-the-horizon capacity. Importantly, the bill also contains $500
million in relocation support for Afghan SIV holders.
Finally, our bill authorizes an increase of $105 million to the
Cooperative Threat Reduction Program, which will enhance our efforts to
detect and fight emergent chemical and biological threats and develop
medical countermeasures such as vaccines and therapeutics.
Most importantly, I want to thank subcommittee Ranking Member Trent
Kelly for his contribution to this bill and his bipartisanship, which
helped create the foundations of such a strong bill during a
particularly challenging year. I would also like to thank the staff--
Shannon Green, Jessica Carroll, Zachary Taylor, and Patrick Nevins--for
their tireless efforts to get it across the finish line.
Colleagues, in addition to meeting the most pressing security
challenges we face as a Nation today, this bill supports our
servicemembers with a 2.7 percent pay raise, increases parental leave
for military families, improves women's healthcare, and combats
extremism in the military.
Madam Speaker, this is a good bill, and I urge my colleagues to
support it.
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the
gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Gallagher), the ranking member of the
Military Personnel Subcommittee.
Mr. GALLAGHER. Madam Speaker, I stand before you today in proud
support of this bipartisan bill, which is a reflection of the hard work
of both sides that went into this. This process remains some of the
most gratifying work that we do in Congress and a testament to the way
in which this institution can work when we put our mind to it.
The FY22 NDAA includes a top-line budget that restores funding for
shipbuilding, procurement, missile defense, and a number of other
priorities that will help ensure the national defense of our great
Nation.
The bill that was voted out of committee continues to support and
improve the lives of those who sacrifice for our country on a daily
basis by authorizing a military basic pay raise of 2.7 percent.
This bill reinforces the committee's longstanding commitment to the
military family by requiring the Department of Defense to increase
parental leave, expands the in-home childcare pilot program, and
improves support available to military families with special needs
children.
This bill also addresses the threat of COVID-19 by prohibiting the
use of DOD funds to conduct research, including biomedical, infectious
disease, and genomic research in China or with any entity controlled by
the Chinese Communist Party. It requires DOD to report to Congress on
the number of military personnel infected with coronavirus at the 2019
Military World Games in Wuhan, China, and requires DOD and the Director
of National Intelligence to assess the involvement of the Chinese
Communist Party in the origins of COVID-19.
I thank the chairman and ranking member for an outstanding bipartisan
bill. I thank them both for their work on it, and I am proud to be a
member of this committee.
Let's do our duty. Let's support servicemembers, military families,
and retirees. Let's pass this bill.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Speaker, at this time, I have no
further speakers, and I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the
gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Banks), the ranking member of the
Subcommittee on Cyber, Innovative Technologies, and Information
Systems.
Mr. BANKS. Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 4350, the
FY22 NDAA.
Our current and future warfighting capabilities are contingent on
modernizing the Department of Defense and recruiting and equipping the
military with the most effective, secure, and cutting-edge
technologies.
Our adversaries are focused on our defeat on and off the battlefield.
They are pouring money into research and development of emerging
technologies, recruiting top scientists, and stealing intellectual
property to gain a tactical edge.
This NDAA pushes the Department to accelerate innovation and
strengthen its cyber posture, a critical capability if we want to
maintain superiority in the era of great power competition.
I want to thank Ranking Member Rogers, who, because of his
leadership, fought for and gained nearly $25 billion in this bill to
boost emerging technologies and cybersecurity programs during the
markup.

[[Page H4804]]

These funds enhance areas like hypersonics, AI, and quantum computing
and make a historical investment to renovate the Department's labs and
testing facilities.
As ranking member, I am also proud of the work that we have done on
our subcommittee, the Cyber, Innovative Technologies, and Information
Systems Subcommittee led by Chairman Langevin, in this inaugural NDAA
for this subcommittee.
We included provisions to transition innovative technologies quickly
into the hands of the warfighter, to help companies bridge the valley
of death, and to implement many of the recommendations of the National
Security Commission on AI.
In the past year, we have seen landmark cyberattacks, a trend which
is likely to continue, and we must be prepared. We bolster and
strengthen the Department's information security systems and improve
sharing and analysis of cyber threat information across the Department.

Madam Speaker, I strongly support this bill and encourage my
colleagues to do the same.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my
time.
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the
gentleman from Nebraska (Mr. Bacon), a great member of the Armed
Services Committee.
Mr. BACON. Madam Speaker, I rise in support of the National Defense
Authorization Act. I commend the outstanding leadership of Chairman
Smith and Ranking Member Mike Rogers for delivering strong,
bipartisan legislation that provides for our common defense.
While I am personally grateful that this bill includes dozens of my
provisions, I am most proud of the fact that the bill sends a clear
bipartisan message that we must keep our national defense spending
level with inflation and reject the temptation to cut defense when our
allies and enemies are questioning American leadership. As the White
House's own strategic guidance states, America must confront global
challenges from a position of strength, not weakness.
I am also proud that this bill includes multiple provisions ensuring
oversight and accountability for the recent debacle in Afghanistan. As
we stand here today, this crisis is ongoing, with hundreds of U.S.
citizens and residents, including my constituents from Nebraska, who
are still trapped in Afghanistan. Oversight of the way the botched
withdrawal was handled is not and should not be a partisan issue, and I
am proud that the House has not backed away from its responsibilities.
Madam Speaker, I urge support of this bill.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my
time.
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the
gentleman from Utah (Mr. Moore), one of our outstanding freshman
Members.
Mr. MOORE of Utah. Madam Speaker, I rise in opposition to the MILCON
amendment.
This is actually something that we agree on, that most people would
agree on. We have apartments that our airmen are staying in at Hill Air
Force Base where literally they have to section off corners of the
sidewalk because bricks are falling off the building.
This is not up to the standard of what we would like to provide for
our men and women who are willing to go and serve in this capacity.
This is something that we all agree on.
The reason I stand to oppose the amendment is because it just
increases the costs for a MILCON budget that is already laden with a
lot of work with very little money. This will require a sort of
preference for local hiring, which is a good thing, but it also adds in
a lot of bureaucracy with respect to licensing and making sure that
every single military construction contractor has all the little
prerequisites for each State. This is something that we have rejected
in the past, and it ultimately just adds a lot of cost.
It is ironic that both the Trump and Biden administrations disagree
with this. Chambers of commerce actually oppose this. A few others that
are noteworthy are the defense industry of America, Association of
General Contractors, and American Council of Engineering Companies.
They all oppose this effort.
Again, this impacts the skilled workforce. Every single construction
company that I talk to right now says they can't even hire in their
local area. So to require companies to go to each area where there is a
base and take away some of their skilled workforce to then go hire a
workforce that is in that particular city, it adds an extra burden.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my
time.
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the
gentlewoman from Oklahoma (Mrs. Bice), an outstanding member of our
Armed Services Committee.
Mrs. BICE of Oklahoma. Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R.
4350, this year's National Defense Authorization Act. As a member of
the Armed Services Committee, I was honored to have a seat at the table
in crafting this legislation, and I am pleased to have been successful
in having a good number of my priorities for Oklahoma's Fifth District
included in this bill.
As a new member of the House Armed Services Committee, I was deeply
concerned when President Biden proposed earlier this year to
essentially cut our defense budget below the rate of inflation at a
time when we are facing serious threats from around the world.
I am thankful for the leadership of Ranking Member Rogers in securing
a bipartisan deal in this bill to provide the additional resources
needed to meet our Nation's defense needs. This bill makes important
investments to protect our Nation from dangerous adversaries like
Russia and China.
I also fought to include several items in the bill we are considering
today, including a measure I co-led with Congresswoman Gonzalez-Colon
to require DOD to survey access to mental health and suicide prevention
services within the military healthcare system, as well as a modified
version of my bill to protect servicemembers and their families with
disabilities from being charged out-of-pocket expenses for needed ADA
upgrades to their on-base housing unit.
Lastly, I successfully advanced amendments to require the DOD to
analyze the security threats resulting from the Taliban's release of
thousands of prisoners from Bagram Air Base and an amendment to
increase resources for the Army National Guard to assist CBP with
security operations on the southern border in light of the growing
threats emanating from Afghanistan and elsewhere.
Bottom line, this bill strengthens our Nation's defenses, supports
our brave servicemembers, and sustains important defense programs
across the Nation and in my home State of Oklahoma.
Madam Speaker, certainly there may be provisions of this bill that
not everyone agrees with, but I urge my colleagues to support the bill.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my
time.

Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the
gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. DesJarlais), another fine member of the
Armed Services Committee.
Mr. DesJARLAIS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to express my support for
the National Defense Authorization Act. The bill before us today
represents a much-improved effort over the Biden-Harris
administration's proposed budget.
There is no more important job than providing for the defense of our
Nation. The specter of threats from an aggressive China, a revitalized
Russia, and radical Islamic terrorist states demand that we maintain a
strong national defense readiness and posture.
This NDAA will give a much-deserved and needed pay raise and expanded
benefits to members of our armed services. We are making investments to
ensure our military is the best equipped and trained in the world, with
a focus on American jobs and our domestic manufacturing base.
We are also investing in important new technologies like quantum
computing, hypersonic weapons, and autonomous systems.
I am proud to say that Arnold Air Force Base, the University of
Tennessee Space Institute, Vanderbilt University, Fort Campbell Army
Base, Oak

[[Page H4805]]

Ridge National Laboratory, and other Tennessee stakeholders will
receive the funds that they need to carry out vital operations for our
United States military.
That said, the bill is not perfect. I am disappointed in House
Democrats for preventing my ``no first use'' amendment from coming to
the floor for a vote. In hearings before our committee, our military
leadership emphasized that a ``no first use'' policy is a limiting
strategic mistake, and a number of our allies have expressed these
concerns directly to me as well. We should never tip our strategic
plans to our adversaries.
It is also disappointing that those on the other side of the aisle
have taken a bill intended to improve our military and muddled it with
attempts to score political points.

{time} 2200

While I don't support these poison pills, I am hopeful that my
colleagues will remove them during conference before its final passage.
That said, we must move forward with this legislation. I support
making it stronger, avoiding nongermane political issues, and getting
it signed into law for our brave men and women in uniform.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Speaker, I continue to reserve the
balance of my time.
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the
gentleman from Florida (Mr. Gaetz), another fine member of the Armed
Services Committee.
Mr. GAETZ. Madam Speaker, on behalf of the tens of thousands of
military families in northwest Florida, I rise in strong support of
this year's National Defense Authorization Act.
This bill does right by military families by ensuring that we upgrade
training systems, increasing their proficiency, and ensuring that our
servicemembers are safe when they go down range.
The bill enhances platforms and equipment survivability to ensure
that our troops are in the best possible position to prevail in every
battle and vanquish any foe.
The 2.7 percent pay raise is vastly needed and is a small debt of
gratitude for the elite level of patriotism that our servicemembers
show each and every day.
The bill does right by the mission by investing in research,
development test and evaluation by increasing our investment in cyber,
by ensuring that we have a military construction budget that allows us
to meet ambitious goals to be able to grow strategic mission in
particular areas, and our investment in the space force ensures that
America will always hold the high ground.
With this legislation, America wins the future by focusing on great
power competition, and by ensuring that we win that great power
competition with great focus and great competence.
I thank the bipartisan leadership of the committee, and I would note
that that bipartisan leadership has been necessary because President
Biden's initial budget did not meet the needs of the country to the
same degree that this House will. It is a testament to Chairman Smith
and Ranking Member Rogers that brighter minds have prevailed.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Speaker, I continue to reserve the
balance of my time.
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, as I have made clear, I feel
very strongly that this is a really strong, bipartisan bill. I urge all
Members of the House to support it.
Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Speaker, I yield myself the balance of
my time.
I just want to agree with Mr. Rogers. This bill, as you can hear from
the Members speaking in favor of it on both sides of the aisle,
encompasses a lot of different provisions, all designed to make sure we
can adequately defend the country; and, most importantly, designed to
make sure that we protect the men and women who are serving us to
protect that country.
There are a lot of provisions in this bill focused on improving the
quality of life, including a 2.7 percent pay increase and significant
increases to improve things like childcare centers and barracks across
the country.
I think this bill does an excellent job of identifying the threats
that we face and putting ourselves in the best possible position to
meet those threats going forward.
Again, no bill is perfect. We disagree on things. Everyone will have
something in here that they wish were slightly different, but overall,
I think we can support this bill.
I do want to close by once again emphasizing, I know there is a lot
of angst about the amendments that have been ruled in order; but,
again, that is not unusual that we would deal with issues that are not
necessarily directly within our jurisdiction. We work with the
committees of jurisdiction in order to carry those bills. We will
continue to work on that.
I can say with confidence that there is no amendment that has been
ruled in order that we are going to debate on that should impact any
Members voting for this bill. This is a very strong bill. Do not forget
the underlying provisions in this bill that are so important to the men
and women who are serving this country, to the protections they need,
the protections they deserve, and the protections that it is our
obligation to provide for them and which I feel very, very strongly
that this bill does.
This bill deserves support from this committee. I urge a ``yes''
vote.
Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. All time for debate has expired.
Each further amendment printed in part C of House Report 117-125 not

(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
(1) the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (Public Law
115-334) legalized hemp by removing it from the definition of

products are particularly affected, due to confusion about
the legal status of such products.

later than the end of the 90-day period beginning on the date
of enactment of this Act, the Federal banking regulators
shall update their existing guidance, as applicable,
regarding the provision of financial services to hemp-related
legitimate businesses and hemp-related service providers to
address--
(1) compliance with financial institutions' existing
obligations under Federal laws and implementing regulations
determined relevant by the Federal banking regulators,
including subchapter II of chapter 53 of title 31, United
States Code, and its implementing regulation in conformity
with this title and the Department of Agriculture's rules

SEC. 5415. DISCRETIONARY SURPLUS FUNDS.

Section 7(a)(3)(A) of the Federal Reserve Act (12 U.S.C.
289(a)(3)(A)) is amended by reducing the dollar figure by
$6,000,000.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 667, the
gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Perlmutter) and a Member opposed each will
control 5 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Colorado.
Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I yield myself 1\1/2\ minutes.
Madam Speaker, I offer this amendment, which is identical to the SAFE
Banking Act the House passed by a vote of 321-101 in April. 180
bipartisan Members of Congress and 39 bipartisan Senators are
cosponsors of this important legislation to allow State-regulated
cannabis businesses to access the financial system and improve safety
in our communities by getting cash off the streets.
By bringing cash into the financial system, banks and credit unions
will

[[Page H4809]]

subject the funds and the account holders to rigorous anti-money
laundering and ``know your customer'' requirements. Under FinCEN's 2014
guidance, financial institutions must comply with a heightened anti-
money laundering reporting regime when providing services to cannabis
businesses. This will strengthen the security of our financial system
and our country by keeping bad actors like foreign cartels out of the
cannabis industry.
But most importantly, this amendment will reduce the risk of violent
crime in our communities. By dealing in all cash, these businesses and
their employees become targets for robbery, assaults, burglaries, and
more. In Colorado, Travis Mason, a young father and Marine Corps
veteran, was murdered while working as a security guard for a cannabis
business. We cannot wait any longer to address this public safety
threat.
I want to thank my cosponsors on this amendment, Representatives
Velazquez, Davidson, Correa, Blumenauer, Joyce, and Barbara Lee, as
well as former Representatives Heck and Stivers.
Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I rise in opposition to the
amendment.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes.
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, this is a fine piece of
legislation in a stand-alone fashion. In fact, I voted for the
gentleman's stand-alone bill. I think what he is trying to accomplish
is admirable and should be accomplished, but not in the National
Defense Authorization Act.
He knows that I am not picking on his bill. I feel this way about
anything that is not in our jurisdiction.
But having said that, the language is not related to the NDAA, and I
urge opposition.
Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I just would remind the gentleman from
Alabama the matter was deemed germane by the Parliamentarian.
I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Davidson).
Mr. DAVIDSON. Madam Speaker, I think the reason it was ruled germane
by the Parliamentarian is the cartels control the drug trade in the
United States. While most States have made some legal form for
marijuana, the cartels still dominate the market.
Part of the reason is the cash is in the black market. Legal
operations in many states cannot be banked. People that work there
can't get mortgages. They don't have access to the banking system. The
reality is the financial industry is being pushed by regulators to kind
of back-door and make something illegal.
This has been done on any number of fronts, whether firearms are
disfavored in some states, well, you know, you have reputational risk
if you are going to bank these people. For too long in America we have
had a standard that said, ``Well, you are not going to bank these
people, are you?'' Who ``these people'' are has changed.
This is preventing us from stopping the cartels. It is germane, and I
urge everyone to support the amendment.
Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I include in the Record a letter from
Governors from 21 States and Territories endorsing the SAFE Banking
Act, along with a list of 41 other diverse organizations who support
the legislation.

Dear Congressional Leaders: As our States' chief
executives, we urge Congress to pass legislation allowing
states with legalized medical or adult-use cannabis to
operate safely under the national banking system. We strongly
support the passage of the Secure and Fair Enforcement (SAFE)
Banking Act of 2021 (H.R. 1996/S. 910) or similar legislation
that would remove the legal uncertainty and allow banks and
credit unions to provide services to state-licensed cannabis-
related businesses.
We were pleased that the House passed similar legislation
in the 116th Congress (H.R. 1595). The SAFE Banking Act of
2021 already has more than 165 bipartisan House cosponsors
and more than 30 bipartisan Senate cosponsors. The
legislation has also received support from more than 30
associations.
Currently, 36 U.S. states, four U.S. territories, and the
District of Columbia have legalized the medical use of
cannabis. Additionally, 18 states, two territories, and the
District of Columbia have legalized recreational use by
adults over 21 years of age. Despite legalization of cannabis
at the state-level, our financial institutions face enormous
legal risks and criminal and civil liability under the
Controlled Substances Act. These barriers disincentive
financial institutions from providing banking services to
state-licensed and regulated cannabis businesses.
Because few banks and credit unions provide these services,
state-licensed cannabis businesses predominantly operate on a
cash basis. Without banking services, state-licensed cannabis
businesses are unable to write checks, make and receive
electronic payments, utilize a payroll provider, or accept
credit and debit cards. Cash only businesses pose a
significant public safety risk to customers and employees.
The cash-only environment also burdens state and local
government agencies that must collect tax and fee payments in
person and in cash, which creates additional public expenses
and employee safety risks.
State and federal governments have a shared interest in
upholding the rule of law, protecting public safety, and
transitioning markets out of the shadows and into our
transparent and regulated banking system. Many of our states
have implemented laws and regulations to reduce these risks
while ensuring financial accountability of the cannabis
industry. These public safety risks can be further mitigated
on the federal level by passing the SAFE Banking Act to
provide state-licensed cannabis businesses with access to
banking service providers.
We urge you to pass the SAFE Banking Act of 2021 or similar
legislation that would provide a safe harbor for depository
institutions that provide a financial product or service to a
state-licensed cannabis business in states that have
legalized cannabis. We look forward to working with you as
legislation progresses to address this urgent public policy
and safety concern.
Sincerely,
Governor Jared Polis, State of Colorado; Governor Ned
Lamont, State of Connecticut; Governor John Bel
Edwards, State of Louisiana; Governor Charlie Baker,
State of Massachusetts; Governor Steve Sisolak, State
of Nevada; Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham, State of

Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the
gentleman from California (Mr. Correa).
Mr. CORREA. Madam Speaker, I rise in strong support of the SAFE
Banking Act as an amendment to the NDAA. More than half--let me repeat,
more than half of the U.S. population lives in a State jurisdiction
where cannabis is legal. Veterans prefer cannabis to opioids to treat
their invisible wounds that they bring back from the battlefield.
Cannabis customers and businesses are law-abiding citizens and
entities, yet they have to pay their employees, their bills, and their
Federal taxes with cash. It just does not make sense.
As my colleagues on the other side of the aisle have pointed out, we
need to get rid of that gray black market, bring this cash business
into the banking system.
Again, I rise in strong support of this commonsense measure.
Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time
to close.
This is a public safety and a national security matter, very germane
to the issues at hand, dealing with foreign cartels and particularly
the cash that is developed by this business that leads to crime. We
have seen murders, robberies, assaults, and then the potential for
foreign malignant forces to get into the cannabis industry here in the
United States.
I urge the passage of amendment No. 1 and yield back the balance of
my time.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 667, the
previous question is ordered on the amendment offered by the gentleman

Amendment No. 5 Offered by Ms. Dean

The SPEAKER pro tempore. It is now in order to consider amendment No.
5 printed in part C of House Report 117-125.

SEC. 5106. PROTECTIONS FOR OBLIGORS AND COSIGNERS IN CASE OF
DEATH OR TOTAL AND PERMANENT DISABILITY.

(a) In General.--Section 140(g) of the Truth in Lending Act
(15 U.S.C. 1650(g)) is amended--
(1) in paragraph (2)--
(A) in the heading, by striking ``in case of death of
borrower'';
(B) in subparagraph (A), by inserting after ``of the
death'', the following: ``or total and permanent
disability''; and

the student obligor; and
``(B) in the case of total and permanent disability,
monitor the disability status of the student obligor at any
point after the date of discharge.
``(4) Total and permanent disability defined.--For the
purposes of this subsection and with respect to an
individual, the term `total and permanent disability' means
the individual is totally and permanently disabled, as such
term is defined in section 685.102(b) of title 34 of the Code
of Federal Regulations.
``(5) Private discharge in cases of certain discharge for
death or disability.--The holder of a private education loan
shall, when notified of the discharge of liability of a
student obligor on a loan described under section
108(f)(5)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, discharge
any liability of the student obligor (and any cosigner) on
any private education loan which the private education loan
holder holds and may not, after such notification--
``(A) attempt to collect on the outstanding liability of
the student obligor; and
``(B) in the case of total and permanent disability,
monitor the disability status of the student obligor at any
point after the date of discharge.''.
(b) Rulemaking.--The Director of the Bureau of Consumer
Financial Protection may issue rules to implement the
amendments made by subsection (a) as the Director determines
appropriate.
(c) Effective Date.--The amendments made by this section
shall take effect 1 year after the date of the enactment of
this Act.

The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 667, the
gentlewoman from Pennsylvania (Ms. Dean) and a Member opposed each will
control 5 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Pennsylvania.
Ms. DEAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of my amendment,
which would require private student lenders to discharge private
student loan debt for people who become totally or permanently
disabled.
This amendment was inspired by a constituent who came to our office
in need. Like many young Americans, my constituent pursued an education
and chose to use private loans to help fund her college costs. She was
also fully prepared to repay her loans, but tragically she became
permanently and totally disabled.
Because of her permanent disability, her mother must now take care of
her for life, and not only is the mother her caretaker, she is also the
cosigner obligated to carry and pay for this debilitating debt.

{time} 2215

Though the student's particular lender allowed her debt to be
discharged, her mother, who cosigned the loan, was not dismissed from
that responsibility. Though this reality may be foreign to many of us,
for those it does affect, it will change their lives forever.
That is why this amendment would right a wrong and bring parity
between protections for private student loan borrowers and Federal
student loan borrowers.
Currently, private student lenders are not required to discharge the
obligation of a borrower who becomes permanently disabled, only in the
case of death. However, for Federal student loans in the case of
permanent disability or death, loans are discharged.
In addition, Federal student loans do not require cosigners.
Specifically, my amendment amends the Truth in Lending Act to require
discharge of private student loans in the case of permanent or total
disability of the borrower; require the discharge of cosigners in the
case of the borrower's permanent or total disability; require private
lenders to discharge a borrower's obligation when they are notified
that the Federal Government has discharged the Federal student loans of
the borrower.
As we debate the National Defense Authorization Act, it is important
to highlight that our servicemembers are disproportionately using
private student loans. And these veterans who use private student loans
disproportionately use them to attend for-profit universities or
institutions. In some instances, veterans leave with nearly double the
amount of debt compared to

[[Page H4811]]

their counterparts who use Federal veterans' education benefits.
Our veterans, our servicemembers, along with all of our constituents,
deserve to be protected in the case of unexpected hardship.
I am pleased that in August, the Biden administration announced it
would automatically cancel Federal student loan debt through the Total
and Permanent Disability Discharge program. The TPD Discharge program
provides loan discharge for the borrower and the cosigner should the
borrower become totally and permanently disabled.
This is a first step in providing 323,000 Federal student loan
borrowers with disabilities the relief they are entitled to under the
law.
It is our responsibility to codify and extend this same needed
support to our private student loan borrowers and their families
affected with these tragedies.
I pray no one go through what my constituents have gone through.
We must move this commonsense and important amendment forward, and I
urge all members to support it.
Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. DAVIDSON. Madam Speaker, I rise in opposition to the amendment.
The SPEAKER pro tempore (Ms. Stansbury). The gentleman from Ohio is
recognized for 5 minutes.
Mr. DAVIDSON. Madam Speaker, this amendment requires the discharge of
private education loans in the event the borrower dies or becomes
permanently and totally disabled. Republicans are very sympathetic to
both situations.
Private education lenders already provide relief to the estates of
deceased student borrowers and the student loan borrowers who become
permanently and totally disabled, if requested.
Furthermore, in a competitive market, student loan seekers are free
to choose between lenders who observe similar practices and those who
do not.
Congress should not attempt to legislate the terms of agreement to
which the parties have already agreed.
This amendment imposes a new condition on private education lenders
in contracts that haven't been negotiated or discussed between the
lender and borrower.
If this amendment becomes law, this clause would be automatic,
increasing compliance costs for lenders, diminishing the market value
of existing loans, and having the downstream effect of making credit
more expensive for consumers.
Therefore, I believe this amendment is a solution in search of a
problem. It would insert Congress into a process that is already being
utilized by lenders.
And while I understand the gentlewoman's concerns that led to
drafting this amendment, I cannot support it in its current form. In
fact, I would personally be happy to work with the gentlewoman to solve
the problem in a different way.
I do oppose this amendment in its current form, and I reserve the
balance of my time.
Ms. DEAN. Madam Speaker, I thank the gentleman for wanting to work
with me on this. Certainly this is a serious problem, and it is a
serious problem for my constituent, and I am sure constituents in any
other district in our country.
But there is a misstatement in the gentleman's words. It is voluntary
right now on the part of the private lenders, and this bill would
codify the requirement to ensure that disability discharge for private
student loans is not a choice.
Certainly, when you sign up for a loan, you don't think about
planning for becoming totally disabled and unable to afford your own
student loans.
Unfortunately, as my constituent case shows, some private lenders do
not voluntarily discharge for the borrower and the cosponsor in the
case of permanent and total disability. I believe we have a duty to
stand up for the most vulnerable among us. This bill would help
accomplish that goal.
I commend the lenders who do step up voluntarily, but we need to
codify this discharge of liability in the case of total or permanent
disability.
I urge support, and I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. DAVIDSON. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman
from North Carolina (Ms. Foxx).
Ms. FOXX. Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague from Ohio for yielding.
Madam Speaker, I rise in opposition to the amendment offered by the
gentlewoman from Pennsylvania.
This amendment would require private lenders automatically to
discharge loans for borrowers who die or become totally and permanently
disabled.

As you can clearly see, this amendment, like so many others we are
debating, has no relation to our Nation's defense.
In addition to being irrelevant to the bill we are considering, the
language is also completely unnecessary.
Private lenders, as my colleague has already said, already discharge
loans for borrowers and their families who find themselves in these
horrible circumstances.
They do this not because they are required by the government to do
so, but because it is the right thing to do.
All this amendment would do is waste valuable time to create a
government mandate for a feature already commonplace in the industry.
This amendment is yet another example of Democrats finding ways for
the Federal Government to take over every aspect of our lives and
destroy as much as possible of the private sector.
I urge my colleagues to object to the inclusion of this unneeded
policy.
Ms. DEAN. Madam Speaker, of course there is a clear nexus to our
veterans and our servicemembers, and it would be marvelous if all
private student loan lenders would voluntarily discharge in the case of
permanent or total disability. It just simply isn't the case.
We are trying to ensure parity, regardless of who the borrower owes.
We don't believe this would be a difficulty for all of these lenders
who you say are willing to do this.
If the lenders honestly want to fight this so that they can take
every last dollar of the individuals and their families despite their
suffering, they can go to court, and they can ask the court for a
remedy.
I urge support, and I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. DAVIDSON. Madam Speaker, I would just reiterate that private
student lenders already work with borrowers for these unplanned
situations clearly in death and in disabilities alike.
I urge my colleagues to oppose this amendment, and I yield back the
balance of my time.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 667, the
previous question is ordered on the amendment offered by the
gentlewoman from Pennsylvania (Ms. Dean).

SEC. __. ADDITION OF VIRGIN ISLANDS VISA WAIVER TO GUAM AND
NORTHERN MARIANA ISLANDS VISA WAIVER.

(a) In General.--Section 212(l) of the Immigration and
Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1182(l)) is amended to read as
follows:
``(l) Guam and Northern Mariana Islands Visa Waiver
Program; Virgin Islands Visa Waiver Program.--
``(1) In general.--The requirement of subsection
(a)(7)(B)(i) may be waived by the Secretary of Homeland
Security, in the case of an alien applying for admission as a
nonimmigrant visitor for business or pleasure and solely for
entry into and stay in Guam or the Commonwealth of the
Northern Mariana Islands, or the Virgin Islands of the United
States, for a period not to exceed 45 days, if the Secretary
of Homeland Security,

[[Page H4812]]

after consultation with the Secretary of the Interior, the
Secretary of State, and the Governor of Guam and the Governor
of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, or the
Governor of the Virgin Islands of the United States, as the
case may be, determines that--
``(A) an adequate arrival and departure control system has
been developed in Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern
Mariana Islands, and the Virgin Islands of the United States;
and
``(B) such a waiver does not represent a threat to the
welfare, safety, or security of the United States or its
territories and commonwealths.
``(2) Alien waiver of rights.--An alien may not be provided
a waiver under this subsection unless the alien has waived
any right--
``(A) to review or appeal under this Act an immigration
officer's determination as to the admissibility of the alien
at the port of entry into Guam or the Commonwealth of the
Northern Mariana Islands, or the Virgin Islands of the United
States; or
``(B) to contest, other than on the basis of an application
for withholding of removal under section 241(b)(3) of this
Act or under the Convention Against Torture, or an
application for asylum if permitted under section 208 of this
Act, any action for removal of the alien.
``(3) Regulations.--All necessary regulations to implement
this subsection shall be promulgated by the Secretary of
Homeland Security, in consultation with the Secretary of the
Interior and the Secretary of State. The promulgation of such
regulations shall be considered a foreign affairs function
for purposes of section 553(a) of title 5, United States
Code. At a minimum, such regulations should include, but not
necessarily be limited to--
``(A) a listing of all countries whose nationals may obtain
the waivers provided by this subsection; and
``(B) any bonding requirements for nationals of some or all
of those countries who may present an increased risk of
overstays or other potential problems, if different from such
requirements otherwise provided by law for nonimmigrant
visitors.
``(4) Factors.--In determining whether to grant or continue
providing the waiver under this paragraph to nationals of any
country, the Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation
with the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of
State, shall consider all factors that the Secretary deems
relevant, including electronic travel authorizations,
procedures for reporting lost and stolen passports,
repatriation of aliens, rates of refusal for nonimmigrant
visitor visas, overstays, exit systems, and information
exchange.
``(5) Suspension.--The Secretary of Homeland Security shall
monitor the admission of nonimmigrant visitors to Guam and
the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the
Virgin Islands of the United States, under this subsection.
If the Secretary determines that such admissions have
resulted in an unacceptable number of visitors from a country
remaining unlawfully in Guam or the Commonwealth of the
Northern Mariana Islands, or the Virgin Islands of the United
States, unlawfully obtaining entry to other parts of the
United States, or seeking withholding of removal or asylum,
or that visitors from a country pose a risk to law
enforcement or security interests of Guam or the Commonwealth
of the Northern Mariana Islands, or the Virgin Islands of the
United States, or of the United States (including the
interest in the enforcement of the immigration laws of the
United States), the Secretary shall suspend the admission of
nationals of such country under this subsection. The
Secretary of Homeland Security may in the Secretary's
discretion suspend the Guam and Northern Mariana Islands visa
waiver program, or the Virgin Islands visa waiver program, at
any time, on a country-by-country basis, for other good
cause.
``(6) Addition of countries.--The Governor of Guam and the
Governor of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands,
or the Governor of the Virgin Islands of the United States,
may request the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary
of Homeland Security to add a particular country to the list
of countries whose nationals may obtain the waiver provided
by this subsection, and the Secretary of Homeland Security
may grant such request after consultation with the Secretary
of the Interior and the Secretary of State, and may
promulgate regulations with respect to the inclusion of that
country and any special requirements the Secretary of
Homeland Security, in the Secretary's sole discretion, may
impose prior to allowing nationals of that country to obtain
the waiver provided by this subsection.''.
(b) Regulations Deadline.--Not later than one year after
the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Homeland
Security, in consultation with the Secretary of the Interior
and the Secretary of State, shall promulgate any necessary
regulations as described in subsection (a) required to
implement the waiver provided in such subsection for the
Virgin Islands.
(c) Waiver Countries.--The regulations described in
subsection (b) shall include a listing of all member or
associate member countries of the Caribbean Community
(CARICOM) whose nationals may obtain, on a country-by-country
basis, the waiver provided by this section, except that such
regulations shall not provide for a listing of any country if
the Secretary of Homeland Security determines that such
country's inclusion on such list would represent a threat to
the welfare, safety, or security of the United States or its
territories and commonwealths.
(d) Conforming Amendments.--
(1) Documentation requirements.--Section 212(a)(7)(B)(iii)
of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C.
1182(a)(7)(B)(iii)) is amended to read as follows:
``(iii) Special visa waiver programs.--For a provision
authorizing waiver of clause (i) in the case of visitors to
Guam or the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, or
the Virgin Islands of the United States, see subsection
(l).''.
(2) Admission of nonimmigrants.--Section 214(a)(1) of such
Act (8 U.S.C. 1184(a)(1)) is amended by striking ``Guam or
the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands'' each place
such term appears and inserting ``Guam or the Commonwealth of
the Northern Mariana Islands, or the Virgin Islands of the
United States''.
(e) Fees.--The Secretary of Homeland Security shall
establish an administrative processing fee to be charged and
collected from individuals seeking to enter the Virgin
Islands in accordance with section 212(l) of the Immigration
and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1182(l)), as amended by this
Act. Such fee shall be set at a level that will ensure
recovery of the full costs of such processing, any additional
costs associated with the administration of the fees
collected, and any sums necessary to offset reduced
collections of the nonimmigrant visa fee or the electronic
travel authorization fee that otherwise would have been
collected from such individuals.

The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 667, the
gentlewoman from Virgin Islands (Ms. Plaskett) and a Member opposed
each will control 5 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from the Virgin Islands.
Ms. PLASKETT. Madam Speaker, I rise in support of this amendment, and
I yield myself 3 minutes.
Madam Speaker, I first want to give a little bit of a history lesson
and some information to my colleagues here.
The Virgin Islands and the territories, many of whom are outside of
the customs zone, when one comes to the U.S. Virgin Islands in order to
get to the mainland, you must go through Customs and Border Protection
presenting passport, et cetera, as you would in a foreign country.
My amendment responds to the need for an expedited nonimmigrant
visitor visa program in the U.S. Virgin Islands that is now currently
available to other U.S. territories outside of the U.S. customs zone in
the Pacific, which would aid the Virgin Islands in allowing more
visitors. Specifically, the Virgin Islands is seeking authority to
extend the special nonimmigrant visitor visa waiver program that is
currently available in Guam and Northern Marianas.
Adding the Virgin Islands to this existing nonimmigrant visitor visa
waiver program would allow the Department of Homeland Security to
consider approving visa-less entry into the Virgin Islands up to and
limited to 45 days primarily for residents of neighboring Caribbean
countries. This would better enable the Virgin Islands to compete
economically with other islands and nations in the Caribbean.
It would apply solely to the Virgin Islands, and because we are
outside of the customs zone by law, like other U.S. territories, it
would not allow visa-less entry into any other part of the United
States.
It would allow individuals from other Caribbean islands to come into
the Virgin Islands on an expedited visa process, which would lead to
increased tourism, greater opportunities to host international events,
and support our small business and medical facilities.
For example, the Virgin Islands annually hosts numerous yacht shows
and regattas, which could yield additional economic support, except for
the fact that we have a longer entry for our neighbors to come into the
territories.
Similarly, our young people cannot compete with our neighboring
islands which are much closer to us than the United States. The U.S.
Virgin Islands is over 1,000 miles to Florida, as opposed to the
Bahamas, which is only 180 miles to Miami. Cuba is only 300 miles to
Miami. We are way down the Antilles chain.
This amendment would remain reasonably limited in scope to the
Caribbean community and other countries approved by the Department of
Homeland Security.
The provision also allows the Secretary of Homeland Security to
suspend waivers to any individual or countries if they pose a risk to
law enforcement or security interests of the

[[Page H4813]]

United States or at the secretary's own discretion.
Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. TIFFANY. Madam Speaker, I rise in opposition to the amendment.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Wisconsin is recognized
for 5 minutes.
Mr. TIFFANY. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may
consume.
Madam Speaker, extending visa waiver privileges in the U.S. Virgin
Islands for Caribbean countries will present yet another challenge for
immigration enforcement and drug interdiction efforts.
The Department of Homeland Security has historically noted that a
special visa waiver program for the U.S. Virgin Islands would result in
a significant increase in overstays and make it easier for previously
removed aliens to re-enter U.S. territory. This amendment would also
hamper our efforts to stop the import of illegal drugs.
According to the Drug Enforcement Administration, cocaine is the
principal drug threat in the Caribbean with the U.S. Virgin Islands
already serving as a major transshipment point between cocaine-
producing countries in South America and the continental United States.

{time} 2230

A special visa waiver program for the U.S. Virgin Islands would also
open the door to birth tourism, something we have already seen in the
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, a U.S. territory in the
Pacific.
In 2017, The Wall Street Journal noted that ``Saipan has become known
as the latest hot spot for birth tourism, a place where women can give
birth to babies who will automatically acquire U.S. citizenship.'' The
problem has become so widespread that, in recent years, more children
have been born to Chinese tourists on the islands than Americans.
Chinese syndicates have also taken advantage of the CNMI program to
engage in human trafficking and forced labor. By any measure, the CNMI
Visa Waiver Program has been an unmitigated disaster. We should be
getting rid of these programs, not expanding them.
Madam Speaker, America's immigration laws and visa restrictions
should apply uniformly across the country. We should not be creating
special loopholes or allowing States and territories to operate their
own independent immigration systems. At a time when the United States
is seeing record illegal immigration and record asylum claims, creating
this visa program is a bad idea at the worst possible time.
I have to say, I am stunned that the majority would bring this forth
at this time when we have a deluge that is happening at the southern
border. Now to create another loophole just like in the Pacific, only
this time in the Atlantic, it is not appropriate to be doing this at
this time.
Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to oppose this, and I reserve the
balance of my time.
Ms. PLASKETT. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may
consume.
Madam Speaker, I find it very interesting the concern that my
colleague has for the U.S. Virgin Islands when we don't get the
economic support from that side of the aisle that would allow us to
mitigate the need for opening our shores up to our Caribbean neighbors.
As you can find out, we have received technical assistance from the
Department of Homeland Security Office of the Chief Counsel, as well as
the Office of Field Operations, in the process of developing this visa
program. As I am sure my colleague is aware, under the auspices of this
program, it does authorize the Secretary of Homeland Security to
exclude or remove a country from the visa waiver program list if the
Secretary determines inclusion would represent a threat to the welfare,
safety, or security of the United States or its territories and its
commonwealth.
I find the use of birthright tourism in Saipan, if you would look at
the data, is only a very small percentage of the overall visitors and
that the related costs are outweighed by the extreme tourist and
economic benefits to the Pacific.
I also find it interesting that he is concerned about what is
happening on the border at this time, considering that most of the
individuals who are coming through that border are much closer, coming
from countries, including that of Haiti, which are much closer to
Florida than they are to the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The thought that individuals would take the time and the resources to
come to an island nation where they would have to go through Customs
and Border Protection to move into the mainland is in itself a
discussion that negates what he is concerned with.
Additionally, as for drugs, yes, the Virgin Islands does have a
problem with drug transportation, which is going through the U.S.
Postal Service. I don't think any of these visitors would be the
individuals being put into the mail and going through the U.S. Postal
Service.
Madam Speaker, I ask for adoption of this amendment. It is germane,
and it is related and worked through from Homeland Security.
Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. TIFFANY. Madam Speaker, I would just respond this way: America
offers great support to all of our friends in the Caribbean. It is not
accurate that we don't offer support. We do.
The second point is that the Secretary of--I am assuming she was
referring to Homeland Security--could exclude or change the program.
How likely is that when we see what is happening currently? When we
were told by this government a month ago that people coming from
Afghanistan would have an SIV, we have found very few of them have
that. They have just been waived in on parole.
That is part of the reason why Congress needs to maintain its
authority, because we cannot count on the executive branch enforcing
the laws of this country. All we have to do is look at the news of the
day to understand that we have open borders, and it is because the
executive branch refuses to control our borders.
Madam Speaker, I urge a ``no'' vote on this amendment, and I yield
back the balance of my time.

Amendment No. 9 Offered by Mr. Green of Texas

The SPEAKER pro tempore. It is now in order to consider amendment No.
9 printed in part C of House Report 117-125.
Mr. GREEN of Texas. Madam Speaker, I have an amendment at the desk.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:

At the end of title LX, insert the following:

SEC. 60__. PAYMENTS TO INDIVIDUALS WHO SERVED DURING WORLD
WAR II IN THE UNITED STATES MERCHANT MARINE.

(a) Establishment of Compensation Fund.--Subchapter II of
chapter 5 of title 38, United States Code, is amended by
adding at the end the following new section:

``Sec. 534. Merchant Mariner Equity Compensation Fund

``(a) Compensation Fund.--(1) There is in the general fund
of the Treasury a fund to be known as the `Merchant Mariner
Equity Compensation Fund' (in this section referred to as the
`compensation fund').
``(2) Subject to the availability of appropriations
provided in advance in a appropriations Act specifically for
the purpose of carrying out this section, and no other
funding source, amounts in the compensation fund shall be
available to the Secretary without fiscal year limitation to

section.
``(b) Eligible Individuals.--(1) An eligible individual is
an individual who--

Secretary may require;

[[Page H4814]]

``(B) has not received benefits under the Servicemen's
Readjustment Act of 1944 (Public Law 78-346); and
``(C) has engaged in qualified service.
``(2) For purposes of paragraph (1), a person has engaged

beginning of such chapter is amended by inserting after the
item related to section 532 the following new item:

``534. Merchant Mariner Equity Compensation Fund.''.

The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 667, the
gentleman from Texas (Mr. Green) and a Member opposed each will control
5 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Texas.
Mr. GREEN of Texas. Madam Speaker, and still I rise. Tonight, I rise
to express my gratitude to many persons who have caused us to have this
opportunity. I thank Chairman Smith for his service and what he has
done and Ranking Member Rogers, the members of the Committee on Rules,
and the members of the Committee on Veterans Affairs.
Madam Speaker, I rise to say that I do support the NDAA. I understand
the need for a strong military, but I also rise tonight with an appeal
for some compassion, compassion and, to a certain extent, mercy for our
veteran merchant marines. I ask for this compassion because they didn't
get some of the benefits that others did.
Let me just read the words, if I may, of President Roosevelt. On June
22, 1944, these are his words when signing the GI Bill: ``I trust
Congress will soon provide similar opportunities to members of the
Merchant Marine who have risked their lives time and time again during
war for the welfare of our country.''
Congress did not provide similar benefits for the merchant marines.
As a result of Congress not doing so, most people don't know that the
merchant marines were denied benefits within the GI Bill, denied the
stipend for the cost of living, books, and supplies as it relates to
education, denied tuition-free education, denied unemployment benefits,
denied medical benefits, denied low-cost guaranteed loans, denied
opportunities.
Madam Speaker, I appeal tonight for those who are still surviving,
all of whom are in their nineties. I had the privilege of being with
Mr. Charles Mills, 101 years young and still making the appeal for help
for these veterans, who literally won a lawsuit to have themselves
declared as such.
I make the appeal for compassion for our merchant marines, who had a
very high casualty count during World War II.
Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. BOST. Madam Speaker, I rise in opposition to the amendment.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Illinois is recognized
for 5 minutes.
Mr. BOST. Madam Speaker, the NDAA is one of the most important bills
Congress passes annually. In fact, the past decade, the NDAA has been
enacted every year. As such, the NDAA often becomes a grab bag for a
variety of priorities. To protect the integrity of this process, I
believe the NDAA should focus on strengthening the Department of
Defense--its systems, its programs, and its personnel. This amendment
would provide an unprecedented $25,000 one-time payment from the VA to
World War II merchant marines. Therefore, we should not be discussing
this proposal as part of the NDAA.
I thank Representative Green for his advocacy on behalf of the
merchant marines, and I support the merchant marines. I am also
grateful for the bravery of these men who served during World War II.
They faced danger, and some made the ultimate sacrifice in service to
our country.
That said, their service has been recognized. The GI Bill Improvement
Act of 1977 provided a pathway to VA care benefits for civilian groups,
known as active duty designees, who supported the Armed Forces in World
War II. The merchant marines are considered active duty designees and,
as such, received veteran status and eligibility for VA benefits
decades ago.
However, this amendment carves out a new benefit for merchant marines
unlike anything Congress has authorized in the past, not even for our
most highly decorated veterans.
I have heard that merchant marines feel they were shortchanged
because they did not receive the GI Bill benefits. However, this bill
creates an inequity among other veterans and active duty designees by
providing a thank-you payment for merchant marines.
Ultimately, this amendment unfairly singles out one group of service
above another. I also have questions about how many merchant marines
would be covered under this amendment and why $25,000 was deemed as the
appropriate amount.
Considering this bill under regular order before the House Committee
of Veterans' Affairs would allow us to ask those questions. It makes
more sense to have it done that way. This is why I cannot support this
amendment's inclusion in the NDAA tonight.
Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. GREEN of Texas. Madam Speaker, may I inquire how much time is
remaining.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Texas has 2 minutes
remaining. The gentleman from Illinois has 2 minutes remaining.
Mr. GREEN of Texas. Madam Speaker, tuition benefits in today's
dollars would be about $8,000. The stipend for the cost of living,
books, and supplies would be about $1,200. The unemployment benefits--
and I am low-balling--would be about $16,000.
The medical benefits we can't measure. The loss of opportunities
because of the loans that they could have received we cannot measure.
But we can do this: We can do what General Eisenhower asked us to do.
We can do what President Roosevelt asked us to do and President Truman
asked us to do.
This is our opportunity, a unique moment in time to correct an
injustice. And I appeal to you to do so.
Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. BOST. Madam Speaker, as I mentioned, this amendment would provide
an unprecedented $25,000 one-time payment for VA World War II merchant
marines. It did not go through regular order. It did not go through the
committee of jurisdiction. This amendment

[[Page H4815]]

should be placed in the committee that has jurisdiction to justify so
that if not only this group but other groups would be able and should
be able to receive benefits, as this amendment requires, we would be
able to do that.
Madam Speaker, I support our merchant marines. I always have. My 20
years in the State legislature, I did just that. As a matter of fact,
at every veteran ceremony, I mentioned and brought up our merchant
marines as our veterans.
That being said, this is not the way to handle this bill. I plead
with the Members of this body not to accept this. I am adamantly
opposed. I would love to take it up in the committee, not in this bill
where it is not the proper place.
Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.

{time} 2245

Mr. GREEN of Texas. Madam Speaker, how much time do I have remaining?
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Texas has 1 minute
remaining.
Mr. GREEN of Texas. Madam Speaker, to take this through regular order
at this time would mean that we would call on witnesses who have long
since gone to glory. It would mean that many of those who live today
would not live to see the day that the justice would be served that
they richly deserve.
So I make an appeal on behalf of the those who have earned this
compassion, they risked their lives for their country, and many of them
died. This is our final opportunity for many of them, and I yield back
the balance of my time.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 667, the
previous question is ordered on the amendment offered by the gentleman
from Texas (Mr. Green).
The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Texas
(Mr. Green).
The amendment was agreed to.
A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.

SEC. 60___. CLARIFICATION OF PRIVATE RIGHT OF ACTION UNDER
SERVICEMEMBERS CIVIL RELIEF ACT.

Section 802(a) of the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (50
U.S.C. 4042(a)) is amended--
(1) in the matter preceding paragraph (1), by inserting ``,
notwithstanding any previous agreement to the contrary,''
after ``may''; and
(2) in paragraph (3), by striking ``, notwithstanding any
previous agreement to the contrary''.

The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 667, the
gentleman from Rhode Island (Mr. Cicilline) and a Member opposed each
will control 5 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Rhode Island.
Mr. CICILLINE. Madam Speaker, I yield myself 3 minutes.
Madam Speaker, I rise in support of my amendment, which makes clear
that the statutory rights of servicemembers and their families under
the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, or SCRA, cannot be waived through
forced arbitration unless it is agreed to by the servicemember after a
dispute arises.
Americans who serve in our military, our veterans and their families
sacrifice much in service to our country. Often they have fought to
protect the fundamental idea that we are a Nation of laws and
institutions that guarantee the rights and prosperity of every
American.
Since the Second World War, Congress has created many laws, including
the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, to expand and strengthen the
rights and protections of servicemembers and veterans. These laws are
essential protections that guarantee every veteran and active duty
servicemembers, including the Reserves and National Guard the right to
be free from workplace discrimination on the basis of their military
service, and the right to their day in court to enforce these
provisions. We are a stronger and better Nation because of these
rights.
SCRA prevents landlords from enacting eviction proceedings, mortgage
holders from foreclosing on a home, and lenders from repossessing a
vehicle while a member of our armed services is on active duty.
However, forced arbitration clauses embedded in mortgages and titles
prevent accountability for bad actors taking advantage of our
servicemembers while they are protecting our country.
For too long, forced arbitration has eroded these fundamental
protections by funneling servicemembers' claims into a private system
set up by corporations. Buried deep within the fine print of everyday
contracts, forced arbitration clauses block the brave men and women in
uniform, as well as their family members, from having their day in
court to hold corporations accountable for breaking the law.
Charles Beard's story is an example of how forced arbitration impacts
our servicemembers. While Charles, a former sergeant in the Army
National Guard, was on tour in Iraq, the bank repossessed his family
car in clear violation of SCRA. It was the only vehicle his wife and
five children could rely on.
When they attempted to hold the bank accountable for violating his
rights, they forced his claim into arbitration citing a clause in
Charles' contract that he was required to sign to purchase the car,
which waived his constitutional right to a jury trial.
This private system does not to have the same procedural safeguards
of our justice system. It is not subject to oversight, it does not have
a judge or jury, and it is not bound by laws passed by Congress or the
States. These clauses allow companies to choose the arbiter and venue
while denying servicemembers any right to appeal.
This is nothing short of corporate takeover or our Nation's system of
laws, and the American people have had enough. The overwhelming
majority of voters, including 83 percent of Democrats and 87 percent of
Republicans support ending forced arbitration. It is time to act.
My bipartisan amendment would end this shameful practice by
clarifying that arbitration clauses are only enforceable if agreed to
by servicemembers or their family after a dispute arises, thereby
protecting their rights under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act.
As a Nation devoted to protecting our brave men and women in uniform,
we have to ensure that their rights are actually enforceable in court.
Madam Speaker, I want to thank my colleagues, Guy Reschenthaler,
Jared Golden, Anthony Brown, and Veterans Affairs Chairman Mark Takano
for their strong, bipartisan support for this amendment to protect our
men and women in uniform.

[[Page H4816]]

This provision was incorporated in both the 2020 and 2021 NDAA. Madam
Speaker, I urge my colleagues, again, to support this amendment and
protect American servicemembers, and I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. TIFFANY. Madam Speaker, I rise in opposition to the amendment.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Tiffany)
is recognized for 5 minutes.
Mr. TIFFANY. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may
consume.
Madam Speaker, arbitration clauses in contracts let private parties
agree in advance on a way to resolve further disputes and have
significant benefits. But for years, Democrats have worked relentlessly
to undermine arbitration and the efficiencies arbitration agreements
often have for private parties.
These agreements generally work well and the process itself is a fair
and effective way to solve disagreements. Arbitration is also usually
faster and cheaper than hiring an attorney and suiting up for drawn-out
litigation.
Making arbitration harder for certain claims will mean Americans
spend more time in court with no guarantee of getting better outcomes.
The Democrat-driven campaign to up-end the use of arbitration will
certainly benefit the plaintiff's bar. But it will make life worse for
the American people.
With that context in mind, we can consider this amendment in light of
the larger policy debate it is connected to. This amendment rests on
the idea that pre-dispute arbitration agreements are fundamentally
problematic and unfair or work poorly. But that is not true.
And this amendment cannot be considered in isolation. Instead, it is
a policy gateway to the Democrats' longstanding priority to eliminate
arbitration agreements entirely. This amendment should be rejected.
Separately, it is true that we can have a debate over the merits of
arbitration agreements now in the context of the NDAA, but we should
not be having that debate here and now.

If the policy in this amendment is sound, Congress should consider
that policy as an independent bill, in the light of day, and after
appropriate congressional oversight.
Madam Speaker, I oppose this amendment because it is bad policy and
because of this flawed process, and I urge my colleagues to do the
same.
Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. CICILLINE. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from
California (Mr. Takano), the distinguished chairman of the Veterans
Affairs Committee.
Mr. TAKANO. Madam Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding.
Madam Speaker, I rise in support of this bipartisan amendment, which
would prohibit the enforcement of forced arbitration clauses and
contracts covered by the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, or SCRA.
Forced arbitration has undermined the rights of servicemembers for
years by forcing them to waive their ability to seek remedies through
the courts. This prohibition on forced arbitration clauses would
protect countless men and women wearing the uniform of our Nation from
predatory lenders while being deployed.
SCRA extends important financial protections to military service
personnel who are currently serving on active duty, and are often
targeted for exploitation. These protections can range from prohibiting
lenders from repossessing cars and foreclosing on homes while
servicemembers are actively deployed. I will repeat, while they are
actively deployed. This amendment will expand these protections to
remove a common tool used in this exploitation.
Those who serve in our military are inherently at a disadvantage
against aggressive lenders as the nature of their service makes it
difficult to seek fair resolve in any claims. While lenders are aware
of this unique circumstance, many seek to take full advantage of these
servicemembers. And this is a shame.
Our servicemembers protect us both at home and abroad, and it is time
we safeguard their rights against predatory lenders and others who
shamelessly seek to exploit members of our military.
So I am thankful to my colleagues for their leadership on this issue,
Mr. Cicilline, Mr. Golden, Mr. Reschenthaler, and Mr. Brown, and I urge
my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to vote in favor of this
amendment, and I hope it stays in after conference.
Mr. TIFFANY. Madam Speaker, as I stated earlier, this is a policy
gateway that the Democrats seek to eliminate arbitration. It has been a
longstanding goal of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle to
achieve that goal, and this opens up the door to it.
And I think about the debates that we have in the Judiciary
Committee, where courts are being clogged up, talking about needing
more judges, changing the circuits, things like that. This will add to
the clogging of our courts, and that is why we should oppose this bill.
Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. CICILLINE. Madam Speaker, may I inquire how much time remains?
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Rhode Island has 15
seconds remaining.
Mr. CICILLINE. Madam Speaker, when my friend said that the
arbitration generally works, he is right, it generally works for big,
powerful corporations, employers, financial institutions, but it
doesn't work for servicemen and women who are serving our country in
the military.
It makes it harder, it is more difficult, it is more costly. And, by
the way, if you want to go to arbitration, you can elect to do it, you
just can't be forced into it if this amendment passes. We hear our
friends all the time say to stand up for the men and women in uniform,
show it by voting for this amendment.
Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 667, the
previous question is ordered on the amendment offered by the gentleman
from Rhode Island (Mr. Cicilline).
The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Rhode

The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 667, the
gentlewoman from Michigan (Ms. Tlaib) and a Member opposed each will
control 5 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Michigan.
Ms. TLAIB. Madam Speaker, I rise in support of amendment No. 11 which
would provide critical needed consumer protection to our servicemembers
who hold medical debt.
No one chooses to get sick, yet medical debt is the leading cause of
personal bankruptcy in our country, and the pandemic has only made paid
our medical debt crisis worse, especially for our veterans.
According to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, servicemembers
and veterans are nearly twice as likely to submit debt collection
complaints as the general public. And medical debt concerns comprise
nearly 13 percent of servicemember debt collection complaints.
So this amendment is important because medical bills and
reimbursements are often vague and confusing. Servicemembers often
assert that the calculation of the underlying debt is inaccurate and
unfair. Other times, bills go missing during deployment or are
delivered to the wrong recipient.
So this amendment would strengthen servicemembers' consumer
protections regarding medical debt by preventing the collection of
medical debt for 2 years from the date of medical billing, and
prohibiting credit agencies from reporting all medical debt collections
for a year.

{time} 2300

My amendment also requires medical debt collectors to provide
servicemembers with their consumer rights upon contact.
Together, these protections would provide servicemembers much-needed
clarity to figure out what they actually owe and what the impact will
have on their credit.
So, Madam Speaker, debt collection particularly affects our young
servicemembers and veterans who have little credit history upon
enlisting.
Among servicemembers with 3 or fewer years of service, the CFPB has
found 5 percent had medical debts in collection just prior to
separation from service, and that number doubles to more than 10
percent within a year of their separation from service. As a result,
those same individuals with 3 years or less of service, on average,
exit the armed services with subprime credit scores.
So with that I really finally ask my colleagues to please help us ban
medical debt also for medically necessary procedures from ever even
appearing on servicemembers' credit reports.
This amendment would not prevent States from implementing stronger
protections for our servicemembers. It would not preempt existing
consumer protections for our servicemembers already on the books.
Again, I remind my colleagues that, again, this is really critical
for our servicemembers.
Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. DAVIDSON. Madam Speaker, I claim the time in opposition, and I am
opposed to this amendment.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Ohio is recognized for 5
minutes.
Mr. DAVIDSON. Madam Speaker, this amendment delays the collection of
servicemembers' medical debt for 2 years. It outright bans the
reporting of a servicemembers' medically necessary procedures to a
credit reporting agency ever, and it restricts the reporting of a
servicemember's debt obligations to a credit reporting agency for 1
year.
Republicans have supported removing paid medical debt from a
consumer's credit report that was unpredictable and unavoidable.
However, this amendment would remove all information related to
medically necessary procedures for servicemembers. Frankly, it exploits
servicemembers to advance a cause my colleague has previously advocated
for which is to eliminate medical reporting altogether to credit
reporting agencies.
Debt, including medically necessary debt, is important criteria to
assess a borrower's creditworthiness and ability to repay and should
appear on credit reports of consumers, including servicemembers. It can
improve their credit scores if they pay their debts. Removing
predictive information from a

[[Page H4818]]

credit report has the potential to increase the cost of credit,
particularly for those borrowers who have limited credit history.
Requiring the expedited removal of debt from such reports will
undermine the safety and soundness of financial institutions and the
financial system more broadly. It will further damage healthcare.
Additionally, recouping a loss is a basic tenet of a credit-based
economy.
This amendment would be disastrous on an already broken healthcare
system. It would increase the cost of medical care and limit access to
the care for all.
For these reasons, Madam Speaker, I oppose this amendment, I
encourage my colleagues to oppose it as well, and I reserve the balance
of my time.
Ms. TLAIB. How much time is remaining, Madam Speaker?
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman from Michigan has 2\1/2\
minutes remaining.
Ms. TLAIB. Madam Speaker, I remind my colleagues that all of these
protections have already passed the House this Congress but have yet to
receive action in the Senate.
I want to remind my colleagues also the way the amendment is drafted
right now currently, a medically necessary procedure is defined as,
one, healthcare services or supplies needed to diagnose or treat an
illness, injury, condition, disease, or symptom that meet accepted
standards of medicine; two, healthcare to prevent illness and detect
illnesses at an early stage when treatment is likely to work best,
again, for services like Pap tests, flu shots, and screening mammograms
I want to remind my colleagues, this is a huge barrier. The credit
reports are huge barriers for housing and employment for our veterans.
We continue to support increased housing for our veterans, increased
mental health services for our veterans and all these other issues but,
much of that is due to the fact that we have credit reports with
medically necessary debt, medical procedures on there, and really no
pathway to protect our consumers, our veterans, in this case.
I really remind my colleagues again: we cannot continue to support
housing and employment services for our veterans, and the credit
report, the credit score, all of that, is holding them hostage unable
to continue to create a good life in our country especially after
sacrificing so much for our Nation.
So I really ask my colleagues this is the right thing to do. Again,
this is basically folks who are getting sick that need healthcare, and
we are not saying that they won't be able to collect, the healthcare
agencies, they are able to collect. This is just to prevent it from
becoming a barrier for many of our veterans who seek employment which
does look at--many employers still now currently look at credit
reports, and they also look at credit reports for housing. Again, we
can't continue to try to fund these kinds of supports when this is a
huge barrier for our veterans.
Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. DAVIDSON. Madam Speaker, in closing, I would just reiterate that
recouping a loss is a basic tenet of our credit-based economy. This
amendment would further limit credit options for all Americans, hurting
those who buy care from any place who can't collect debts, and it would
therefore hurt those who need this the most.
Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to oppose the amendment, and I
yield back the balance of my time.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 667, the
previous question is ordered on the amendment offered by the

The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 667, the
gentlewoman from Michigan (Ms. Slotkin) and a Member opposed each will
control 5 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Michigan.
Ms. SLOTKIN. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may
consume.
Madam Speaker, I rise in support of my amendment which would take a
number of steps to address PFAS contamination--a significant issue in
my home State of Michigan and across the country. These include:
Requiring a national primary drinking water regulation for PFAS.
Strengthening disclosure requirements for manufacturers who discharge
PFAS into our environment.
And mandating the DOD comply with safe incineration standards for
PFAS.
My amendment would also ensure that the Department of Defense medical
providers have the training they need to treat the effects of PFAS
exposure.
This provision could literally not be more straightforward. ``The
Secretary of Defense shall provide to each medical provider of the
Department of Defense mandatory training with respect to the potential
health effects of PFAS.''
These potential health effects of PFAS exposure are serious. It has
been linked to liver and kidney damage, thyroid problems, and cancer.
Unfortunately, not all medical providers are familiar with the risks
associated with PFAS exposure nor the steps that should be taken for
those who have been exposed. That is where my amendment comes in. With
necessary training, Department of Defense doctors would be able to
identify effects before they get worse and refer their patients for
appropriate treatment.
I am glad we are making strides elsewhere in this NDAA to expand
evaluation of servicemembers for PFAS exposure. This is something I
have been fighting hard for. Our servicemen and -women deserve to know
if they have been exposed to high levels of these dangerous chemicals.
This amendment builds on these important provisions and prevents some
of the situations we have already heard about whereby DOD firefighters
are evaluated for PFAS exposure but not provided any additional
guidance on what future treatment they should seek or side effects they
should look out for.
I am particularly proud that this amendment has garnered support from
both sides of the aisle--Democrat and Republican--because the health of
our servicemembers should not be a partisan issue.
I want to thank my colleagues, Representatives Delgado, Fitzpatrick,
Posey, Mace, Leger Fernandez, Ross, Sarbanes, and my fellow
Michigander, Representative Levin, for their leadership on this package
of amendments.
Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join in supporting these
commonsense amendments which will give our men and women in uniform the
knowledge and the tools that they need to protect themselves.
Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise in opposition to the
amendment.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes.
Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I
may consume.
Madam Speaker, I rise in opposition to the en bloc amendment offered
by Representative Slotkin which makes seven separate and substantive
policy changes to the Armed Services Committee's bill.
This amendment, like the underlying NDAA, contains provisions that
are under the jurisdiction of the Committee on Energy and Commerce, but
we have never, never had a legislative hearing on these proposals.

{time} 2310

Unfortunately, I fear the lack of due diligence on these provisions
will create implementation confusion and burdensome outcomes, not just
for the Department of Defense and the Environmental Protection Agency,
but for everyday Americans.
This amendment focuses on PFAS chemicals, an entire class of over
9,000 chemicals. Broadly speaking, everyone wants to address PFAS
contamination, but we have to do it in a smart and thoughtful way;
otherwise, there are considerable consequences.
Let me point out a few of consequences.
First, the en bloc amendment's provision related to an incineration
moratorium does not use the defined term linking these provisions to
the Defense Department, but addresses ``materials sent to another
entity or entities.''
This makes it unclear who is subject to an incineration moratorium
under section 318, potentially extending the temporary ban from just
the military to any person.
If the executive or judicial branches of our government adopt my
reading of the en bloc amendment, it would have profound policy
implications on waste, storage, and disposal practices in our country.
Of greatest concern, a policy like this has the real potential to
overwhelm existing landfill capacity and leave few viable disposal
options for Americans. This is not the outcome we want.
Setting this interpretation aside, though, this language creates a
structure where the Federal Government is now deciding on the disposal
methods of municipal solid waste. This is entirely unnecessary and
impractical.
Further, this framework disregards the Federal law governing these
matters, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act.
Second, the Toxic Release Inventory reporting threshold provisions in
this amendment also contain problems. These provisions would
statutorily deem these chemicals, without scientific review by EPA,
chemicals of special concern and prohibit the use of existing
exemptions.
Complicating matters, EPA has only validated 29 measurement
techniques for PFAS in drinking water. There are 172 PFAS currently
subject to reporting, making measurements on 143 PFAS unreliable and
subject to enforcement by EPA.
Further expanding the reach of the Federal Government into areas
without proper justification.
Finally, the amount of people or entities that would need to report
is unknown and could be huge, encompassing many parties who neither
made nor added PFAS to their processes.
It is a reasonable expectation for these stakeholders that, to prove
they don't have it, they will need to use invalid tests or potentially
install filtering technology, even though there is no Federal standard.
In another area, the en bloc amendment recycles provisions from the
PFAS Action Act which the House voted on recently and E&C Republicans
largely opposed. These requirements would create duplicate reporting
and submission burdens on manufacturers and administrative resource
constraints at EPA and potentially each State.
EPA is already compelling data production on existing PFAS from the
same people for the same ultimate purpose under Section 8(a)(7) of the
Toxic Substances Control Act. It makes me wonder whether the purpose of
these and other provisions is to get necessary information to EPA to
help its essential data gaps and address PFAS contamination, or if this
is about something else entirely different.
Much of our debate about the PFAS Action Act surrounded the fact that
it would lead to a de facto ban on these chemicals, and it will.
No one opposes the effort to hold DOD accountable for its messes or
to keep the men and women of the Armed Forces and surrounding
communities safe from environmental harm. But before we act on the far-
reaching language of the amendment, not to mention some of the
underlying bill, we need to know about the facts on the ground,
especially for this motley crew of amendments.
PFAS are a large class of chemicals, as I said, over 9,000, with
essential uses, including many necessary for our national defense.

[[Page H4821]]

There is a strong lesson here for the majority: Follow regular order;
hold hearings and markups, and your work could result in practical,
workable, and effective policy and a public law.
Unfortunately, my Democrat friends have done the opposite here,
seriously completing the chance this language has at becoming law. I
oppose the amendment. I urge others to do the same.
Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 667, the
previous question is ordered on the amendment offered by the
gentlewoman from Michigan (Ms. Slotkin).
The question is on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from
Michigan (Ms. Slotkin).
The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that
the ayes appear to have it.
Mrs. BOEBERT. Madam 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.
Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, further proceedings on this question
are postponed.

The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 667, the
gentlewoman from Colorado (Ms. DeGette) and a Member opposed each will
control 5 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Colorado.
Ms. DeGETTE. Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of my amendment
to add the first six titles of the Protecting America's Wilderness in
Public Lands Act to this year's NDAA bill.
This legislation will preserve nearly 1.3 million acres of public
land across Colorado, California, and Washington State, and it will add
more than 1,000 miles of river to the National Wild and Scenic Rivers
System.
Preserving these untouched public lands from the threat of future
development is more than just protecting our environment. It is about
protecting our economy and jobs and our western way of life. It is also
about ensuring that some of our Nation's most elite military pilots
have the opportunity and the space they need to train.
Included in the nearly 1.3 million acres of land this measure would
protect are some of our Nation's most important military training
grounds, including the High Altitude Aviation Training Site, or HAATS,
in Colorado, that is responsible for training some of our most elite
helicopter pilots to take on some of the harshest conditions anywhere
on the planet.
As a fourth-generation Coloradoan, I know how important these lands
are to the people in my State, and I know how important these training
grounds are to the brave men and women who serve in our Nation's
military.
The designations included in this amendment were not made up
overnight. They were the result of decades of hard work by citizens
across the State of Colorado, and they have garnered widespread support
among the public across the West.
It is why the legislation has been passed by this Chamber now three
times in just 2 years, including as a part of last year's NDAA bill,
and again, this year, as a standalone bill.
I want to thank my colleagues, Representatives Huffman, Carbajal,
Chu, Schiff, Kilmer, Neguse, and the chairman of the Natural Resources
Committee, Chairman Grijalva, for their unwavering support and all the
work they have done to get this package to the floor.
I urge all Members to vote ``yes'' on the amendment, and I reserve
the balance of my time.
Mr. LAMBORN. Madam Speaker, I rise in opposition to the amendment.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Colorado is recognized
for 5 minutes.
Mr. LAMBORN. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may
consume.
I rise in opposition to this amendment to add a package of unrelated
lands bills to the National Defense Authorization Act. Collectively,
this pair of bills, this one and the next one, amendments, would impose
unnecessary and harmful restrictions on more than 2\1/2\ million acres
of lands in Colorado, California, and Washington, including nearly 1\1/
2\ million of acres of new wilderness designating many miles of wild
and scenic rivers and creating 100,000 acres of national monument
expansion.
These restrictions will have the effect of greatly reducing
opportunities for multiple uses of these lands and will restrict forest
management practices that will render these lands more prone to
catastrophic wildfires.
In Colorado alone, this amendment would designate approximately
570,000 acres of new wilderness areas, 23,000 acres of expanded
wilderness, and 14,000 acres of potential wilderness.
Now, we already have 3.5 million acres of public lands in Colorado
that are designated as wilderness, so that protection is already there.

[[Page H4846]]

{time} 2320

Now, I do commend my colleague for her efforts to work with local
stakeholders to address some of their concerns over the years that she
has been working on this issue. But this package, unfortunately, does
not come close to the kind of balance and consensus that should be
required for a package of this magnitude. Many of the local communities
impacted by this amendment and that I have heard from have raised
significant concerns, including the loss of motorized access and
recreation, which would threaten their local economy.
A wilderness designation also makes it much more difficult or even
impossible to remove excess fire hazards or invasive species. There is
no real management of the land. Future generations lose access to the
land, at least for average, everyday people. In a true wilderness area,
you can't even ride a bicycle.
This bill is inconsistent with previous designations and existing
land uses by arbitrarily adding wilderness areas and wild and scenic
river designations where those designations are not really appropriate.
Supporting the declaration of areas that do not actually possess these
characteristics undermines the integrity of the Wilderness Act and the
Wild and Scenic Rivers Act for what was originally intended.
Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to oppose this amendment, and I
reserve the balance of my time.
Ms. DeGETTE. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from
California (Mr. Schiff).
Mr. SCHIFF. Madam Speaker, the past 18 months have been difficult for
all of us. But through the hardship, Americans have found solace and
serenity in our beautiful public lands.
Back home in Los Angeles, the Rim of the Valley Corridor stands out
as a jewel of nature. We must preserve this area of striking beauty so
that future generations can enjoy all that it has to offer.
My amendment will add 191,000 acres of the Rim of the Valley Corridor
to the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, empowering the
National Parks Service and the local community to better protect its
natural resources and habitats.
This is a cause I have worked on for two decades and one that has
overwhelming support among my constituents and those in the region.
Let's get it over the finish line.
Madam Speaker, I thank Representative DeGette for her extraordinary
leadership, and I urge a ``yes'' vote on the amendment.
Mr. LAMBORN. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from
Colorado (Mrs. Boebert), who has a district where, actually, this
designation would take place.
Mrs. BOEBERT. Madam Speaker, I thank the gentleman from Colorado for
yielding his time and for his leadership and protecting freedom for
multiple uses of our public lands by opposing sloppy Democrat land
grabs like the ones contained in this amendment.
This amendment is loaded with more than 30 different land grabs that
undermine our national security interests. I have actually traveled in
helicopters with our servicemen and servicewomen who say that this bill
would hinder the land that they currently practice over, with these
wilderness designations, and it would prevent them from amazing
training that they do, bringing people in worldwide.
The U.S. Department of Defense uses 750,000 tons of minerals each
year for equipment and other important technologies. Copper is used to
manufacture military planes and ships. Silver is used in Apache
helicopters. Beryllium is used to enhance the speed of fighter jets.
Molybdenum is used for armored vehicles, missiles, and aircraft.
The amendment we are discussing proposes to add nearly 1.5 million
acres of new wilderness and permanently withdraws 1.2 million acres
from mineral production.
Again, our Department of Defense needs 750,000 tons of minerals each
year. This amendment permanently withdraws 1.2 million acres that
contain critical minerals and other rare earths that we need for
defense, to protect our men and women in uniform.
Approximately 550,000 of those 1.5 million acres that would be locked
up by these new wilderness designations are in my district. Now, can
you imagine if I had a bill designating the 16th Street Mall in Denver,
Colorado, and said that there would be a wilderness designation. I
mean, it is wild and scenic, but I don't have a bill that does such
because I tend to my district.
None of the Colorado acres proposed for the wilderness designation in
this amendment are located in the district represented by the sponsor
of this amendment, and I urge a ``no'' vote.
Ms. DeGETTE. Madam Speaker, may I inquire how much time is remaining.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman from Colorado has 2 minutes
remaining. The time of the gentleman from Colorado has expired.
Ms. DeGETTE. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may
consume.
Madam Speaker, all of the six areas in this bill have been studied,
have been worked on, and have been under consideration for several
decades, as my colleague, Mr. Schiff, pointed out.
The areas in Colorado in my bill were originally designated as
wilderness study areas in the 1980s, and they have already been managed
as wilderness for almost 40 years. What this would do is it would
simply make permanent what everybody in Colorado knows. These are the
most special wild areas that we can have.
My colleague from Colorado alleges that helicopter training would be
prevented by this bill, but, in fact, that is incorrect. After working
with the National Guard, we withdrew the areas that were scheduled to
be wilderness and called them potential wilderness so that the
helicopters can continue to land there, as I pointed out in my opening
statement, allowing our military to have the high-level training that
they need.
Finally, to my knowledge, there are no rare minerals in any of the
six potential areas of this bill. In fact, what we are doing is simply
preserving for future generations the wilderness that we all know and
the wilderness that stimulates jobs and the economy throughout the
West.
I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on this amendment and preserve
these very special places, and I yield back the balance of my time.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 667, the
previous question is ordered on the amendment offered by the
gentlewoman from Colorado (Ms. DeGette).
The question is on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from
Colorado (Ms. DeGette).
The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that
the ayes appear to have it.
Mr. LAMBORN. Madam 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.
Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, further proceedings on this question
are postponed.

Amendment No. 17 Offered by Mr. Neguse

17 printed in part C of House Report 117-125.

The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 667, the
gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Neguse) and a Member opposed each will
control 5 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Colorado.
Mr. NEGUSE. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of my amendment with Chairman
Grijalva. It would amend H.R. 4350 to add the text of two bills, H.R.
577, the Colorado Outdoor Recreation and Economy Act, and H.R. 1052,
the Grand Canyon Protection Act. These bills have already passed the
House with bipartisan support not once, not twice, but three times.
They would protect our public lands, natural resources, and Tribal
cultural sites and help preserve access to our clean water, clean air,
and a livable environment.

{time} 2330

Of course, as climate change becomes a growing national security
threat, we know that conservation becomes a moral imperative. My bill,
the CORE Act, would conserve over 400,000 acres of public land and
consists of four titles that Coloradans have been asking for Congress
to pass literally for over a decade.
One of those provisions that I would like to focus on tonight is the
Camp Hale and 10th Mountain Division legacy. This includes establishing
the first ever national historic landscape at Camp Hale in my district
in honor of the storied legacy of the Army's 10th Mountain Division in
Colorado and around the world.
It was in the mountains of Colorado that American soldiers received
the training that allowed them to defeat Germans in the northern
Italian Alps and lead our Nation to victory during World War II. Those
same soldiers came back to the State of Colorado and literally built
the modern ski industry in our wonderful State.
Hut visitors share the special spirit of the 10th Mountain Division
in their pursuit of excellence, self-reliance, and love of the
outdoors, and my constituents in Summit County and Eagle County and
across Colorado have been imploring the United States Congress to take
steps to make these protections a reality, literally for years.
As a result, Madam Speaker, I would encourage my colleagues to
support this important amendment to protect our treasured public lands,
and I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. LAMBORN. Madam Speaker, I rise in opposition to this amendment.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Colorado is recognized
for 5 minutes.
Mr. LAMBORN. Madam Speaker, I yield myself 1\1/2\ minutes.
I rise in opposition to this amendment because it restricts
approximately 400,000 acres of land in Colorado, and although the
stated goal of the language is to protect and enhance outdoor
recreation--and I agree with that goal as stated--the practical effect
of this amendment would not be that at all.
For one thing, the active management of land that is under wilderness
designation to prevent wildfires is much restricted, if not made
impossible. In a State with a lot of wildfire risk, that is simply not
acceptable.
Rural county commissioners have talked to me and other opponents of
this bill and have raised concerns about negative economic impact of
the withdrawal of 200,000 acres of oil and gas land and what effect
that would have on their communities.
This amendment would also lock away approximately 1 million acres of
public lands in Arizona and permanently ban mining and other multiple-
use activities in that State. This misguided and mistitled land grab
has nothing to do with protecting the

[[Page H4856]]

Grand Canyon. Instead, it seeks to ban development of one of the
largest tracts of uranium deposits in the country.
The result of this is to make us more reliant on adversaries such as
Russia. We already import 97 percent of our uranium from foreign
sources, and that would only become more precarious if this took
effect. Since 2018, the majority of uranium imports have come from
adversarial nations such as Russia.
What this amendment is doing in the National Defense Act makes no
sense at all.
Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. NEGUSE. Madam Speaker, with much respect to my colleague from
Colorado Springs, he knows, because we have debated this amendment
every year for the last 3 years, every time we have successfully added
this amendment to this particular bill, that the statements regarding
this bill and the notion that it locks up land in the way that he
describes is simply not true.
He knows that this bill only includes 73,000 acres of wilderness with
respect to the CORE Act. I know my colleague from Colorado Springs
certainly is aware that this bill includes 80,000 acres for specific
recreational use, to preserve the ability for folks to be able to go
mountain biking and to enjoy those outdoor areas. Of course, that is
why this particular bill has so much support from local communities.
I was a bit surprised, Madam Speaker, to hear this notion that county
commissioners have talked to my colleague from Colorado Springs. I
would suggest that he talk to the county commissioners in Gunnison
County, in Pitkin County, in San Juan County, in San Miguel County, in
Eagle County, or perhaps the city councils in Avon, Basalt, Carbondale,
Crested Butte, Glenwood Springs, perhaps Gunnison, maybe Mountain
Village, Ridgway, Telluride. I don't want to go through all of the
communities, Madam Speaker, because I would expend my entire 5 minutes.
I think my point is fairly clear, which is that this bill has broad
support within the communities that it would impact, and therefore I
would certainly encourage my colleagues again to support this
particular amendment.
Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. LAMBORN. Madam Speaker, let's actually hear from Representatives
who live in these areas.
I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman from Arizona (Mr. Gosar).
Mr. GOSAR. Madam Speaker, I rise in strong opposition to this
amendment.
This amendment includes the Grand Canyon Protection Act, falsely
named legislation, which has nothing to do with the Grand Canyon and is
a cover for a giant Federal land grab that hurts our economy and our
national security.
This land grab of over one million acres in my State will destroy as
many as 4,000 jobs and cost $29 billion in sacrificed economic
activity.
Now, I am perplexed that the majority would bring this up under the
National Defense Authorization as this reckless land grab actually
hurts our national security. We heard from the gentleman from Colorado
that these are areas where we have some high grade uranium. In fact,
the costarter of Greenpeace, Michael Shellenberger, has actually said
that if you want a green economy like the other side does, you
definitely have to have nuclear, and this is one of those ways.

But we constantly keep going down this road where we make ourselves
dependent on other countries, like Russia, Uzbekistan, and those areas.
Isn't it interesting that we want to subjugate ourselves to foreign
interests and foreign oversight? That is not the way we should be doing
it. We should have our own way of doing it.
Last but not least, the way uranium is actually leached into the
atmosphere is by air and by water, which are the portals that these
breccia pipes have contained. Actually, taking the breccia pipes out of
this area actually makes it easier for penetration of water in our
subsurface areas.
I urge this not be adopted and once again return it back to our
States for any other jurisdiction.
Mr. NEGUSE. Madam Speaker, may I inquire as to how much time remains
on both sides?
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Neguse) has
1 minute remaining. The gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Lamborn) has 2
minutes remaining.
Mr. NEGUSE. Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. LAMBORN. Madam Speaker, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentlewoman
from Colorado (Mrs. Boebert). The gentlewoman is from the western part
of the State where this would actually take place, and I believe she is
in touch with the people in her district.
Mrs. BOEBERT. Madam Speaker, this amendment, which has nothing to do
with the national defense, creates significant land restrictions on
nearly 400,000 acres of land in Colorado.
This entirely inappropriate amendment to the NDAA seeks to create
73,068 acres of new wilderness in Colorado, which will severely
restrict all forms of recreation, much-needed management, and economic
activity. We can all agree that we need forest management, and the
answer is not a hands-off approach.
While there are a lot of terrible policies in this amendment, one of
my biggest concerns is the increased threat of disastrous wildfires
that will result from the new wilderness designations and other land
grabs in this bill.
Colorado just came out of one of the worst wildfire seasons we have
ever experienced. In 2020 the U.S. set a new record for the number of
acres burned by wildfires, as more than 10.3 million acres went up in
smoke.
Wilderness is the most restrictive land use designation possible, and
it prevents active management in our forests, which is critical to
prevent catastrophic wildfires.
I have spent months meeting with foresters, experts in the timber
industry, and active management advocates. Every one of them has said
we do not need wilderness areas in Colorado, and wilderness areas
prevent active management of our forests and have exacerbated
catastrophic wildfires.
Madam Speaker, this amendment is a blatant attempt to sneak a deeply
partisan environmentalist wish list into the vital and important
funding vehicle of our Nation's defense.

{time} 2340

Mr. NEGUSE. Madam Speaker, I would just again say I think many of the
communities that I referenced and the various stakeholders that have
been engaged and working on this bill would take offense at this notion
that it is some, I think the word used was secret environmental wish
list or whatever the case may be.
Clearly this bill, in particular the CORE Act, has broad local
support.
With respect to wildfires, my district was the site of the first and
second largest wildfires in the history of Colorado in 137 years. It is
why we created a bipartisan wildfire caucus working with several
Republicans in the United States Congress to come together on solutions
that would address this epidemic of pervasive wildfires across the
Rocky Mountain west.
This bill is about protecting the legacy of public lands in Colorado
and across the western United States to ensure that our children can
enjoy the same public lands that we are so blessed and treasured to
have in our State.
Madam Speaker, again, I would urge a ``yes'' vote, and I yield back
the balance of my time.
Mr. LAMBORN. Madam Speaker, just like the previous amendment, this
amendment was successfully added to last year's NDAA, but the conferees
properly dropped it from the final conference report, so it ultimately
failed. It is simply unacceptable that we would add an amendment to the
National Defense Authorization Act that not only has nothing to do with
national defense, but this actually hurts our national defense by
empowering adversaries like Russia with their uranium production while
limiting our own domestic national production of uranium.
Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to oppose this amendment, and I
yield back the balance of my time.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 667, the
previous question is ordered on the amendment offered by the gentleman
from Colorado (Mr. Neguse).
The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from
Colorado (Mr. Neguse).

[[Page H4857]]

The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that
the ayes appear to have it.
Mr. LAMBORN. Madam 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.
Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, further proceedings on this question
are postponed.

Amendment No. 18 Offered by Mr. Kim of New Jersey

The SPEAKER pro tempore. It is now in order to consider amendment No.
18 printed in part C of House Report 117-125.

the number and dollar amount of subcontracts awarded pursuant
to paragraph (1) for each fiscal year of the period described
in such paragraph.''.
(f) Covered Contract Defined.--In this section, the term
``covered contract'' means a contract for a military
construction project, military family housing project, or
other project described in subsection (c)(1) of section 2851
of title 10, United States Code, as amended by this section
and section 2803.

The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 667, the
gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Kim) and a Member opposed each will
control 5 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from New Jersey.
Mr. KIM of New Jersey. Madam Speaker, I rise to offer my amendment
that will help countless struggling small businesses and communities
access new opportunities and unlock the local economic potential of
military bases across the country.
My amendment would incentivize the use of local small businesses for
military construction projects by asking the Secretary of Defense to
provide preference for businesses that will use workers from within the
same State or within a 60-mile radius from where the work will occur.
My amendment would also strengthen a provision in the underlying bill
to finally provide some transparency in the military construction
project award process, helping small businesses at least be aware of
when possible contracts and subcontract opportunities become available.
I represent Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, which for decades has
been an economic engine in my community and in my State with thousands
of jobs tied to operations on the base.
However, too often contracts at bases like mine go unseen by small,
local businesses who are qualified and ready and sometimes more cost
effective than contractors from out of State.
Since coming into Congress, I have met with business owners from
around the Joint Base who have stressed to me that not only are they
not considered for military construction contracts, but in many cases
the Department of Defense does not even make local businesses aware of
the contracts that are available.
I introduced the Put Our Neighbors to Work Act and offer it as an
amendment here for the construction workers in my district who are
looking for their next opportunity and to provide some fairness to the
award process for small and local businesses who have been passed over
for far too long.
This is a good amendment that would help to expand opportunities for
small and local businesses in the construction industry at a time when
so many across the country are struggling.
I would like to thank Congressman Norcross, Congressman Garamendi,
and Congressman Pfluger for helping push this bipartisan effort
forward.
I urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to stand up for small
and local businesses by voting to pass this legislation.
Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. MOORE of Utah. Madam Speaker, I rise in opposition to this
amendment.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Utah is recognized for 5
minutes.
Mr. MOORE of Utah. Madam Speaker, I oppose this amendment
passionately as I jumped into a debate on this during general debate,
because I am so excited to jump into it. I appreciate the opportunity
to speak.
This to me is a classic case of we agree, we just are seeing a very
different approach in how we want to go about doing this. I have
enjoyed my time on the Armed Services Committee immensely these past 9
months, and for one reason alone, we can find areas of collaboration
and areas that we can work on together.
Military construction that will go towards projects like providing
housing for our men and women serving is a top priority across the
board for Democrats and Republicans. I am going to highlight just some
of the fundamental, key reasons why this amendment and many others,
especially industry folks, with respect to the chamber of commerce, the
National Defense Industry of America, the Associated General
Contractors of America, and American Council of Engineering Companies,
they oppose this effort.
In addition to the industry side, and I never thought that I would
say this as I start my debate, President Biden

[[Page H4858]]

and his administration are also in opposition to this for a few key
reasons.
One, this impacts skilled workforce. The local hiring preferences
would significantly impact the military construction contractors'
workforce by creating scenarios where long-term, highly skilled workers
may have to be laid off in order to meet local hire mandates. Then, in
order to comply with the requirements, employers would have to bring in
unnecessary and unskilled workers to fill those now vacant positions,
creating additional costs and safety concerns.
Local preference requirements falsely assumes that there is a local
pool of qualified military contractors at the ready, and they are
capable of performing the work. In the language you see, the language
even uses ``when practical.'' And I always struggle with that, because
how can we legislate on ``when practical''?
I believe we should let the individuals that are putting out bids and
winning these contracts determine what they can best do for those
areas.

Now, I am a huge supporter of local support. And you can go to Hill
Air Force Base in Layton, Utah, to find out how we have been able to
embrace the local community and enhanced use-lease projects. We are
doing it better than anywhere else in the country, and I am firm on it,
and I am actually willing to share the best practices, and I am pushing
hard to change up some of these budget requirements or these labeling
requirements so we can kind of blow through the issues that we have.
The MILCON budget is overloaded right now. We do not have the money
to do a fraction of the projects that we have out there. Like I
mentioned earlier, bricks are literally falling off the dormitories for
our airmen.
Other reasons to oppose it. This is contrary to judicial precedence.
Leslie Miller, Inc. versus Arkansas, the Supreme Court ruling held that
the bid on Federal contracts cannot be required to first submit state
licensing procedures. It undermines competition.
And lastly, but most importantly, it increases cost to contractors
and government at a time where we don't have enough money in our MILCON
budget to add additional costs.
So again, with the increased costs right now every construction
company I talk to are bursting at the seams with potential projects and
no labor to do it. If we add on additional requirements to hire
specifically locally, even if the contract is sort of similar, if you
do the base in Tinker and then you go to Air Force base, and you go to
Wright-Patt, there is consistency there. There is opportunity to scale.
This is a fundamental business concept where we have to be able to
leverage and allow for business and industry to thrive and do this more
cost effectively.
Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.

{time} 2350

Mr. KIM of New Jersey. Madam Speaker, I am glad that we are able to
have this debate and talk about what it is that we are trying to
prioritize here. When we are talking about the workers here, this bill,
this amendment, is not something that would force the Secretary of
Defense to hire unqualified workers to be able to work on our bases.
That is absolutely not the case here.
It is talking about, in the circumstances where there are qualified
workers, wouldn't we want to prioritize the local workers that are part
of that community?
We are proud in my district to host a military base. We are proud in
New Jersey to have multiple different military installations, and I am
sure other States are very proud of the military installations that
they host as well.
I hope that the Department of Defense is proud of that partnership
with our States. That is exactly what this is. It is a partnership.
This can be a win-win. In the same way that we are looking out for our
joint military base in our community, we would like the joint military
base to think of itself as part of that community.
I believe in the workforce of my State and other States, and I
believe that the workforce across America is strong. I believe that we
have the skilled labor all over this country to be able to do this.
That is why we have been able to get this bipartisan bill. That is
why I have been able to get the support of Congressman Pfluger and to
be able to continue to move forward in the way that we need to do this
for our small businesses, for our workers, to be able to help build
strong national security.
Madam Speaker, I am prepared to close, and I reserve the balance of
my time.
Mr. MOORE of Utah. Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Utah has the right to
close.
Mr. KIM of New Jersey. Madam Speaker, I urge support for my
amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. MOORE of Utah. Madam Speaker, I am just going to reiterate the
concept of the enhanced use lease that is done better than anywhere
else that I have discussed or heard or seen at our base in Utah.
I want to take this opportunity to highlight that that is embracing
the local workforce, and it is doing it more cost-effectively on
multiple different types of projects.
I am going to continue to push for us to embrace that concept more
within all of our military bases because it has proven to be a really
good model to do it more cost-effectively and with the right type of
labor.
This adds an extra burden that is unnecessary to be able to
accomplish what we want it to. I will again reiterate that increased
costs to a MILCON budget that can't even do the work that it is trying
to do right now is only going to exacerbate the issue. We need to let
these companies that bid on these projects do this the appropriate way
and without adding a whole bunch of extra burdens.
Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 667, the
previous question is ordered on the amendment offered by the gentleman
from New Jersey (Mr. Kim).
The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from New
Jersey (Mr. Kim).

The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 667, the
gentleman from California (Mr. Sherman) and a Member opposed each will
control 5 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from California.
Mr. SHERMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise in support of the Sherman-Waters
amendment, No. 746.
Madam Speaker, for quite some time, Chairwoman Waters and I have been
in favor of strong sanctions against Russia for interference in our
elections.
Now, I don't want this to be partisan. There is this idea that only
Democrats care about protecting our elections from Russian
interference. That is not the case.
When the Senate was controlled by Republicans, the Senate
Intelligence Committee issued a report stating: ``The Russian
Government engaged in an aggressive, multifaceted effort to influence,
or attempt to influence, the outcome of the 2016 Presidential
election.'' But there are those who think that perhaps President Trump
did not believe that Russia tried to influence our elections.
Putting aside 2016, what did the Trump administration say about our
2018 election?
On September 30, 2019, the Trump Treasury Department announced
sanctions in response to Russian interference in our 2018 election, and
then the Trump administration imposed sanctions on a ``Russian agent''
for trying to influence our 2020 election. Partisanship stops at the
water's edge.
We need to stop Russia from interfering in our elections. Both
parties have imposed sanctions on Russia for doing so. The question is
how we make those sanctions effective.
Existing sanctions apply to the purchase of sovereign debt--this is
debt issued by the Russian Government--but only when you are acting as
the underwriter, not purchases in the secondary market. That is
ineffective.
In May of this year, the Russian Deputy Finance Minister told us that
when he said sanctions-imposed restrictions don't cover the secondary
market and so they are going to be ineffective or, in his words: ``So
we don't expect the share of nonresidents to move far from the current
levels.''
We need to listen to the Russian Deputy Finance Minister as to how to
make the sanctions that both Democrats and Republicans agree on more
effective. The sanctions imposed here will raise the cost of borrowing
of the Russian Government by between half a

[[Page H4860]]

percent and three-quarters of a percent based on a rating by ACRA.
Further, it is good economic policy. We have a scarce amount of
investment capital in the United States. I want to see it invested in
American businesses, either in stock or as loans by our banks and
others to our companies.
Can anybody make the argument that we are worse off if money is
invested in American companies instead of being lent to Vladimir Putin?
There is no credible argument as to why American pension plans, asset
managers, and households should be funding the Russian Government at a
time when, in 2016, 2018, and 2020, both parties and former President
Trump realized that Russia was interfering in our elections and
deserves to be sanctioned. Let's make those sanctions effective by
adopting this amendment.
Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I rise in opposition to the
amendment.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes.
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, it is my understanding that the
ranking member of the committee of jurisdiction is opposed. Therefore,
I must be opposed.
Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. SHERMAN. Madam Speaker, may I inquire how much time I have
remaining.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from California has 1\1/2\
minutes remaining.
Mr. SHERMAN. Madam Speaker, I see no substantive reason why the
ranking member is opposed to this amendment. Both parties agree Russia
has interfered in our elections in 2016 but more recently in 2018 and
2020. Both parties and the Trump administration agree that Russia
should be sanctioned. But the Deputy Finance Minister of Russia pointed
out that our sanctions so far have not been effective, that they are
not effective until they apply to the secondary market.
That is exactly what this amendment does. It is time to raise the
cost of borrowing by the Russian Government and to see that money
invested in American businesses, lent to American companies, instead of
being lent to the Russian Government.
Madam Speaker, I hear no substantive argument against that
proposition, and I urge adoption of the amendment.
Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 667, the
previous question is ordered on the amendment offered by the gentleman

Amendment No. 23 Offered by Mr. Schiff

The SPEAKER pro tempore. It is now in order to consider amendment No.
23 printed in part C of House Report 117-125.
Mr. SCHIFF. Madam Speaker, I have an amendment at the desk.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:

At the end of subtitle C of title V, add the following new
section:

SEC. 5__. EXCLUSION OF EVIDENCE OBTAINED WITHOUT PRIOR
AUTHORIZATION.

Section 271 of title 10, United States Code, is amended by
adding at the end the following new subsection:
``(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any
information obtained by or with the assistance of a member of
the Armed Forces in violation of section 1385 of title 18,
shall not be received in evidence in any trial, hearing, or
other proceeding in or before any court, grand jury,
department, officer, agency, regulatory body, legislative
committee, or other authority of the United States, a State,
or a political subdivision thereof.''.

The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 667, the
gentleman from California (Mr. Schiff) and a Member opposed each will
control 5 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from California.
Mr. SCHIFF. Madam Speaker, this amendment clarifies the authority of
military commission judges to order court processing at Guantanamo to
be broadcast over the internet. This is a straightforward,
noncontroversial amendment that the House has passed twice by voice
vote.
The GAO has studied this issue and concluded there are no technical
barriers to broadcasting proceedings on the internet, and it can be
done while protecting classified information.
This amendment comes down to simply whether or not we believe the
American people have the right to observe the military commission
proceedings, including against members of al-Qaida who planned the 9/11
attacks.
I believe that families of victims, journalists, academics, NGOs, and
any American interested should be able to follow the proceedings
without flying to Guantanamo, a difficult and lengthy process at best.
I also believe this amendment is important because these military
commissions have, in fact, failed.
After so many years, they have not delivered anything that could be
called justice, but their distance hides the extent of their failings.
As we work toward closing Guantanamo, which I strongly support, we
should cease to hide the legal processes happening there.
Madam Speaker, I urge a ``yes'' vote, and I reserve the balance of my
time.
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I rise in opposition to the
amendment.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes.
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, the amendment allows some of
the most hardened terrorists in U.S. custody a platform to publicly
broadcast their message. Letting these vicious terrorists know there is
a public audience for their hate will do far more harm than good.
It is important to note that Federal courts have consistently stuck
to their guns against broadcasting major terrorism cases, such as the
trial of Zacarias Moussaoui. I see no reason to make an exception for
terrorists at Guantanamo.
DOD has informed us they share these serious concerns and strongly
oppose this amendment.
Madam Speaker, I urge all of my colleagues to oppose the amendment,
and I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. SCHIFF. Madam Speaker, I would simply point out that this
amendment permits these judges to broadcast the proceedings so that
people can witness them. It doesn't mandate that this be done in every
case. I think these judges ought to have the discretion to do so.
This amendment makes it very clear that GAO has studied this issue
and found that it is more than technologically feasible.
I think it is important that the American people, particularly the
victims of 9/11 who would like to witness these proceedings, be allowed
to do so. The victims of 9/11 can't easily travel--many of them can't
travel at all--to Guantanamo to review the proceedings. I think that
the victims of that heinous terrorist attack should have the ability to
face those and observe the proceedings against those who have been
charged with those offenses.
Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I have a right to close, and I
reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. SCHIFF. Madam Speaker, I continue to reserve the balance of my
time.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Alabama does have the
right to close.
Mr. SCHIFF. Madam Speaker, I urge a ``yes'' vote on this amendment to
increase transparency into the proceedings in Guantanamo and allow the
victims of 9/11 to observe the proceedings, as many of them would like
to, and I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I am concerned that adoption of
this amendment would create a major recruiting platform for terrorists
and create security risks.
The Biden administration is opposed to this amendment. I oppose this
amendment, and I urge all of my colleagues to vote ``no.'' I yield back
the balance of my time.

Amendment No. 24 Offered by Mr. Schiff

24 printed in part C of House Report 117-125.
Mr. SCHIFF. Madam Speaker, I have an amendment at the desk.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:

At the end of subtitle C of title X, insert the following:

SEC. 1024. PUBLIC AVAILABILITY OF MILITARY COMMISSION
PROCEEDINGS.

Section 949d(c) of title 10, United States Code, is amended
by adding at the end the following new paragraph:
``(4) In the case of any proceeding of a military
commission under this chapter that is made open to the
public, the military judge may order arrangements for the
availability of the proceeding to be watched remotely by the
public through the internet.''.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 667, the
gentleman from California (Mr. Schiff) and a Member opposed each will
control 5 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from California.
Mr. SCHIFF. Madam Speaker, I rise in support of this amendment.
In June 2020, as individuals came together to proclaim that Black
lives matter and speak out against the murder of George Floyd, Donald
Trump saw these lawful protests as an opportunity to once again abuse
the power of his office.
The former President threatened to deploy U.S. military units to
cities across the country to serve as de facto law enforcement. The
threat only heightened an already tense situation and risked
catastrophe had he followed through.
The posse comitatus laws protect American citizens against the abuse
of the military as a domestic law enforcement agency, but it has
loopholes that need to be fixed. My amendment would do so.
The goals of this amendment are simple: strengthen restrictions to
ensure the mission of the U.S. military cannot be abused and protect
the civil liberties of our citizens.
Madam Speaker, I urge support of the amendment, and I reserve the
balance of my time.
Mr. JORDAN. Madam Speaker, I rise in opposition to the amendment.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Ohio is recognized for 5
minutes.
Mr. JORDAN. Madam Speaker, we already have laws that prohibit the
United States military from carrying out domestic policy on United
States soil. This amendment would prohibit evidence obtained by the
military in violation of the Posse Comitatus Act from being used in a
court or other legal proceedings.
While I am actually sympathetic and believe this issue is one that is
worthy of our consideration in its current form, I urge opposition. The
issue is simply too complex to rush through here without careful
consideration and deliberation in regular order.
The implications of this amendment are also unclear. We have a crisis
on our southern border, a crisis that continues to be ignored by
Democrats and is continually getting worse. What happens, for example,
if the continued failures of the Biden policies cause the situation at
our southern border to become so dire that our military is called to
secure our border and the military obtains evidence of trafficking or
smuggling or some other crime?
We simply do not know enough about changing this longstanding legal
document here today to jam it into a National Defense Authorization
Act. This is an issue that needs to go through a more robust process
where the committees of jurisdiction can hold hearings and fully
explore all possible consequences.
Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to oppose the motion, and I
reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. SCHIFF. Madam Speaker, it is not that complicated. The current
posse comitatus laws prohibit violation of this rule against using the
military for law enforcement purposes but apply it only to two branches
of the military, the Army and the Air Force. This would extend it to
the other branches of the military. It is as simple as that.
It also provides that if you violate the law, you shouldn't use the
evidence from the violation of that law in court proceedings. That is a
well-established principle of criminal law, and it ought to apply here
as well.
It is really quite simple. That is what this amendment would do.
Madam Speaker, I urge support, and I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. JORDAN. Madam Speaker, I have no further speakers, and I reserve
the balance of my time.
Mr. SCHIFF. Madam Speaker, I believe I have the right to close on
this amendment, and I reserve the balance of my time.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from California is correct.
Mr. JORDAN. Madam Speaker, who has the right to close?
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from California has the right
to close.

Mr. JORDAN. Madam Speaker, in closing, I would just say the gentleman
in his introduction of the amendment said that while President Trump--
he talked about President Trump and the riots that took place last
summer--he said, well, I would just point out that while President
Trump was talking about deploying the military to deal with the riots
that were happening in so many major urban areas around our great
country, what were Democrats doing?
What were Democrats doing?
They were defunding the police, and they were raising money to bail
the very rioters out who were destroying property and attacking police
officers to raise money to bail those individuals out of jail. And now
here tonight we have some policy that hasn't been through committee and
hasn't been through any process trying to be put into the National
Defense Authorization Act.
Again, Madam Speaker, I urge opposition to this, and I yield back the
balance of my time.
Mr. SCHIFF. Madam Speaker, I will now close.
This amendment is quite simple. It would extend the posse comitatus
law to all branches of the military so it is not abused.
This is not about defunding the police. That is the usual red herring
argument when there is no argument to be made on the merits.
So this would simply say that the prohibition against abusing the
military and dragooning it as a method of enforcing domestic laws ought
to be extended to every branch of the military not just two of the
branches of the military. And those who would violate this law cannot
use evidence gained in violation of the law against individuals. So
that is what this amendment would do.
Madam Speaker, I urge its passage, and I yield back the balance of my
time.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 667, the
previous question is ordered on the amendment offered by the gentleman
from California (Mr. Schiff).
The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from
California (Mr. Schiff).
The amendment was agreed to.
A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 1(c) of rule XIX, further
consideration of H.R. 4350 is postponed.
