allies and partners.
Sec. 1302. Report on Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict.

[[Page H7058]]

Europe, including the European Deterrence Initiative.

Subtitle B--United States-Greece Defense and Interparliamentary
Partnership Act of 2021

Subtitle C--Security Cooperation and Assistance

Subtitle D--Other Matters

Subtitle A--Matters Relating to Europe and NATO

SEC. 1301. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON NORTH ATLANTIC TREATY
ORGANIZATION ALLIES AND PARTNERS.

It is the sense of Congress as follows:
(1) The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) remains
the strongest and most successful military alliance in the
world, founded on a commitment by its members to uphold the
principles of democracy, individual liberty, and the rule of
law, and its contributions to the collective defense are
indispensable to the security, prosperity, and freedom of its
members.
(2) The success of NATO is critical to achieving United
States national security objectives in Europe and around the
world, including deterring Russian aggression, upholding
territorial integrity and sovereignty in Europe, addressing
strategic competition and mitigating shared security
concerns, countering malign efforts to undermine the rules-
based international order and disrupt shared values, and
fostering international cooperation against collective
challenges.
(3) The United States reaffirms its ironclad commitment to
NATO as the foundation of transatlantic security and to
uphold its obligations under the North Atlantic Treaty,
including Article 5 of the Treaty, and remains steadfastly
committed to upholding and strengthening its defense
alliances and partnerships in the European theater.
(4) The commitment of NATO allies in response to the
invocation of Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty
following attacks on the United States homeland on September
11, 2001, and during years of counterterrorism, humanitarian,
and stabilization operations in Afghanistan has been
invaluable, and the sacrifices of NATO allies deserve the
highest order of respect and gratitude.
(5) The national security challenges posed by the Russian
Government against NATO allies and partners are of grave
concern to the United States and a top NATO defense priority.
Since the invasion of Ukraine in 2014, the Russian Government
has not improved its behavior and has, in many aspects,
become increasingly belligerent. Aggression against NATO
allies and United States partners is unacceptable, and
Russia's willingness to engage in far-reaching, risky actions
contrary to the international order poses major risks to
United States national security interests that must be met
with sustained engagement, investment in credible deterrence,
and vigilance.
(6) The United States should continue to deepen cooperation
on defense issues with non-NATO European partners,
bilaterally and as part of the NATO alliance, encourage
security sector cooperation between NATO and non-NATO defense
partners that complements and strengthens shared security
goals, interoperability, and allies' commitment to Article 3
of the North Atlantic Treaty, build on recent progress in
NATO allies achieving defense spending goals agreed to at the
2014 Wales Summit and reaffirmed at the 2016 Warsaw Summit
and the 2021 Brussels Summit, and build consensus to plan,
organize, and invest in the full range of defense
capabilities necessary to deter and defend against potential
adversaries.
(7) The United States should continue to enhance United
States and allied force posture in Europe in order to
establish and sustain a credible deterrent against Russian
aggression and long-term strategic competition by the Russian
Government, including continued robust support for the
European Deterrence Initiative and other investments, ongoing
use of rotational deployments and robust exercises in the
European theater, improved forward-stationing of forces to
enhance deterrence and reduce cost, additional planning and
efforts to mitigate contested logistics challenges,
implementation of key initiatives to enhance readiness,
military mobility, and national resilience, and effective
investments in multi-service, cyber, information, and air
defense efforts to counter modern military challenges.
(8) Following the end of the Resolute Support Mission in
Afghanistan, it is essential that the United States consider
ways to continue the benefits of combined interaction
alongside NATO allies and United States partners to continue
strengthening interoperability and cooperation.
(9) The Black Sea is a strategically significant region to
United States interests and to the security of United States
allies and partners, especially in light of Russia's actions
in the region and illegal occupation of territory. The United
States should continue security cooperation efforts,
exercises, and training with regional allies and partners,
regional posture enhancements, and support for those allies'
and partners' pursuit of their own defenses, as well as joint
efforts that enhance interoperability and information
sharing.
(10) Enhancing security and stability in the Western
Balkans is a goal that the United States shares with European
allies and partners. The United States should continue its
efforts to build interoperability and support institutional
reforms of the militaries of the Western Balkan nations,
including both NATO allies and partners. The United States
should also support those nations' efforts to resist
disinformation campaigns, predatory investments, efforts to
promote instability, and other means by which Russia and
China may seek to influence this region of Europe.
(11) Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania are model allies and
play a critical role in strategic efforts to ensure continued
deterrence against aggression by Russia and maintain the
collective security of the NATO alliance. The security of the
Baltic region is crucial to the security of the NATO
alliance.
(12) The United States should continue to pursue efforts
consistent with the comprehensive, multilateral Baltic
Defense Assessment of the military requirements of Estonia,
Latvia, and Lithuania issued in December 2020. Robust support
to accomplish United States strategic objectives, including
by providing assistance to the Baltic countries through
security cooperation referred to as the Baltic Security
Initiative pursuant to sections 332 and 333 of title 10,
United States Code, should be prioritized in the years to
come. Specifically, the continuation of--
(A) efforts to enhance interoperability among Estonia,
Latvia, and Lithuania and in support of NATO efforts;
(B) infrastructure and other host-country support
improvements that will enhance United States and allied
military mobility across the region;
(C) efforts to improve resilience to hybrid threats and
cyber defenses in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania; and
(D) support for planning and budgeting efforts of Estonia,
Latvia, and Lithuania that are regionally synchronized.

SEC. 1322. 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.

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.

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.
(L) Any other matters the Secretary determines relevant.
(c) Results.--The federally funded research and development

DIVISION E--DEPARTMENT OF STATE AUTHORIZATION ACT OF 2021

Sec. 5001. Short title.
Sec. 5002. Definitions.

SEC. 5001. SHORT TITLE.

This division may be cited as the ``Department of State
Authorization Act of 2021''.

SEC. 5002. DEFINITIONS.

In this division:
(1) Appropriate congressional committees.--The term
``appropriate congressional committees'' means the Committee
on Foreign Relations of the Senate and the Committee on
Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives.
(2) Department.--If not otherwise specified, the term
``Department'' means the Department of State.
(3) Secretary.--If not otherwise specified, the term
``Secretary'' means the Secretary of State.

TITLE LI--ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE

SEC. 5101. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON IMPORTANCE OF DEPARTMENT OF
STATE'S WORK.

It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) United States global engagement is key to a stable and
prosperous world;
(2) United States leadership is indispensable in light of
the many complex and interconnected threats facing the United
States and the world;
(3) diplomacy and development are critical tools of
national power, and full deployment of these tools is vital
to United States national security;
(4) challenges such as the global refugee and migration
crises, terrorism, historic famine and food insecurity, and
fragile or repressive societies cannot be addressed without
sustained and robust United States diplomatic and development
leadership;
(5) the United States Government must use all of the
instruments of national security and foreign policy at its
disposal to protect United States citizens, promote United
States interests and values, and support global stability and
prosperity;
(6) United States security and prosperity depend on having
partners and allies that share our interests and values, and
these partnerships are nurtured and our shared interests and
values are promoted through United States diplomatic
engagement, security cooperation, economic statecraft, and
assistance that helps further economic development, good
governance, including the rule of law and democratic
institutions, and the development of shared responses to
natural and humanitarian disasters;
(7) as the United States Government agencies primarily
charged with conducting diplomacy and development, the
Department and the United States Agency for International
Development (USAID) require sustained and robust funding to
carry out this important work, which is essential to our
ability to project United States leadership and values and to
advance United States interests around the world;
(8) the work of the Department and USAID makes the United
States and the world safer and more prosperous by alleviating
global poverty and hunger, fighting HIV/AIDS and other
infectious diseases, strengthening alliances, expanding
educational opportunities for women and girls, promoting good
governance and democracy, supporting anti-corruption efforts,
driving economic development and trade, preventing armed
conflicts and humanitarian crises, and creating American jobs
and export opportunities;
(9) the Department and USAID are vital national security
agencies, whose work is critical to the projection of United
States power and leadership worldwide, and without which
Americans would be less safe, United States economic power
would be diminished, and global stability and prosperity
would suffer;
(10) investing in diplomacy and development before
conflicts break out saves American lives while also being
cost-effective; and
(11) the contributions of personnel working at the
Department and USAID are extraordinarily valuable and allow
the United States to maintain its leadership around the
world.

SEC. 5108. IMPORTANCE OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS TRAINING TO NATIONAL
SECURITY.

(a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the Department is a crucial national security agency,
whose employees, both Foreign and Civil Service, require the
best possible training at every stage of their careers to
prepare them to promote and defend United States national
interests and the health and safety of United States citizens
abroad;
(2) the Department's investment of time and resources with
respect to the training and education of its personnel is
considerably below the level of other Federal departments and
agencies in the national security field, and falls well below
the investments many allied and adversarial countries make in
the development of their diplomats;
(3) the Department faces increasingly complex and rapidly
evolving challenges, many of which are science and
technology-driven, and which demand the continual, high-
quality training and education of its personnel;
(4) the Department must move beyond reliance on ``on-the-
job training'' and other informal mentorship practices, which
lead to an inequality in skillset development and career
advancement opportunities, often particularly for minority
personnel, and towards a robust professional tradecraft
training continuum that will provide for greater equality in
career advancement and increase minority participation in the
senior ranks;
(5) the Department's Foreign Service Institute and other
training facilities should seek to substantially increase
their educational and training offerings to Department
personnel, including developing new and innovative
educational and training courses, methods, programs, and
opportunities; and
(6) consistent with existing Department gift acceptance
authority and other applicable laws, the Department and
Foreign Service Institute may accept funds and other
resources from foundations, not-for-profit corporations, and
other appropriate sources to help the Department and the
Institute enhance the quantity and quality of training
offerings, especially in the introduction of new, innovative,
and pilot model courses.
(b) Training Float.--Not later than 90 days after the date
of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State shall
develop and submit to the appropriate congressional
committees a strategy to establish a ``training float'' to
allow for up to 15 percent of the Civil and Foreign Service
to participate in long-term training at any given time. The
strategy should identify steps necessary to ensure the
implementation of the training priorities identified in
subsection (c), sufficient training capacity and
opportunities are available to Civil and Foreign Service
officers, the equitable distribution of long-term training
opportunities to Civil and Foreign Service officers, and the
provision of any additional resources or authorities
necessary to facilitate such a training float, including
programs at the George P. Schultz National Foreign Affairs
Training Center, the Foreign Service Institute, the Foreign
Affairs Security Training Center, and other facilities or
programs operated by the Department of State. The strategy
shall identify which types of training would be prioritized,
the extent (if any) to which such training is already being
provided to Civil and Foreign Service officers by the
Department of State, any factors incentivizing or
disincentivizing such training, and why such training cannot
be achieved without Civil and Foreign Service officers
leaving the workforce. In addition to training opportunities
provided by the Department, the strategy shall consider
training that could be provided by the other United States
Government training

[[Page H7189]]

institutions, as well as nongovernmental educational
institutions. The strategy shall consider approaches to
overcome disincentives to pursuing long-term training.
(c) Prioritization.--In order to provide the Civil and
Foreign Service with the level of education and training
needed to effectively advance United States interests across
the globe, the Department of State should--
(1) increase its offerings--
(A) of virtual instruction to make training more accessible
to personnel deployed throughout the world; or
(B) at partner organizations to provide useful outside
perspectives to Department personnel;
(2) offer courses utilizing computer-based or assisted
simulations, allowing civilian officers to lead
decisionmaking in a crisis environment; and
(3) consider increasing the duration and expanding the
focus of certain training courses, including--
(A) the A-100 orientation course for Foreign Service
officers, and
(B) the chief of mission course to more accurately reflect
the significant responsibilities accompanying such role.
(d) Other Agency Responsibilities.--Other national security
agencies should increase the enrollment of their personnel in
courses at the Foreign Service Institute and other Department
of State training facilities to promote a whole-of-government
approach to mitigating national security challenges.

General Leave

Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that
all Members may have 5 legislative days to revise and extend their
remarks and include extraneous material on S. 1605.
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 5 minutes.
Madam Speaker, first of all, I want to thank all the people involved
in this

[[Page H7216]]

process. Certainly, the staff of the Armed Services Committee, our
bipartisan staff, worked incredibly hard over the course of this year
to put the bill together, first to get it through our committee
process, off the floor and then in the negotiation process that has led
to this final bill.
I think it is an incredibly important process because it includes so
many people. Throughout the House, throughout the Senate, Members who
have concerns in a wide range of policy areas have the opportunity in
this bill to have those concerns heard and to try to address them
through legislation.
When you add it all up, of all the different proposals that have come
at us in the House and the Senate negotiating process, you are well
north of a thousand different ideas that have been sent our way, and
the staff sift through all of that, working with Members and their
staffs as well, to try to come up with the best solutions.
This is an unbelievably important process because it is
representative democracy. It is the way our system is supposed to work,
and this bill truly reflects that. It is a bipartisan, bicameral
product that took into account every single opinion that it could, and
I think we have produced an outstanding product.
The number one thing that I want to make sure that people are aware
of is how important the Armed Services Committee's job of exercising
oversight of the Department of Defense is and how important our job of
making sure that the men and women who serve our country have
everything they need to carry out the missions that we ask them to do.
That is what our committee does. A whole lot of other issues get
involved, but at its core, that is what we are focused on. In this bill
there are hundreds of provisions to help make sure that gets done and
gets done well.
One of the major challenges our military faces right now is dealing
with the rapid pace of technology. It is getting the Pentagon to better
and more quickly adapt the innovative technologies that we need to meet
our national security threats, and those threats are very real, as we
are learning right now in real time, with what is going on between
Russia and Ukraine, as we learn every day as we deal with an
expansionist China, as we try to deal with Iran and North Korea and
transnational terrorist groups. Those threats are real. Technology and
innovation are crucial to meeting those threats, but we are moving too
slowly at this point.
There was a commission on artificial intelligence run by Eric Schmidt
and Bob Work that put a whole series of recommendations together. Jim
Langevin's subcommittee worked on that. A number of proposals are in
this bill to help them do a better job of handling that issue.
We had a task force last year on supply chain concerns, which we have
heard so much about. A number of key provisions from that task force
are in this bill. That is what we do.
Now, there are a lot of other issues, and it seems like when we get
down to the end, we are always talking about the things we disagree
about, which makes a certain amount of sense because, you know, you get
through the stuff you can agree on, then you get down to the tougher
stuff, and then you get down to the really tough stuff.
But when we get down to that really tough stuff, I really hope that
people don't lose track of how important this piece of legislation is
with the day in and day out work we do to support the national security
and national defense of this country and to support the people who we
ask to perform those tasks.
This is an outstanding bill that needs to get passed.
Now, it also happens that it is one of the few bills that
consistently passes every year. Well, actually, it is the only bill
that consistently gets passed every year, so we have a lot of issues
from outside committees.
I forget how many hundreds of proposals we had, but at the end of the
day, the hundred-plus proposals that were in this bill we got 40
percent of them included in the final product, and we are happy to do
that because it helps advance important issues in a wide variety of
other areas. We can't carry them all because you have got to get
bipartisan, bicameral agreement. So those of you who didn't get what
you wanted out of this, please look at what is in the bill and how
important it is.
And the single most important thing in this bill, in my view, is we
finally reformed our Uniform Code of Military Justice for how it deals
with sexual assault. A stain on the military to this day is the fact
that we have not adequately dealt with and protected the servicemembers
who have faced sexual crimes in the military.
This is the most transformational change that we have done on that
issue. We take all sex crimes away from the commander, and we create a
Special Victims Prosecutor who will have the expertise, the commitment,
and the focus to adequately decide what crimes should be charged and to
prosecute those crimes effectively.
Now, a lot of people have worked on this. Nobody has done more than
Jackie Speier. Jackie is responsible for getting this done and getting
it to this point. Of all those people who worked on it, there were a
lot of differences of opinion about how exactly to do it. And I know
some folks think it should have been done slightly differently here,
slightly differently there. This is the agreement that we can get done
and get passed, and it is transformational in what it does.

It is also, I believe, crucial to dealing with one of the other major
issues that we face in the military, and that is diversity.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentleman has expired.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Speaker, I yield myself an additional
1 minute.
The diversity problem that we have with recruitment, promotion, and
how is the UCMJ carried out with regard to people of color. This bill
will give us the opportunity to set up a whole set of crimes that are
under a new authority to take a shot at fixing that problem.
Now, I know some would like to add more crimes to that, and we had
that debate. This is what we came up with, and it is huge. It is the
biggest change we have had in a long time. It is worthy of our support.
The entire bill is worthy of our support.
The last thing I want to say is, I want to specifically thank Mr.
Rogers of Alabama, the ranking member on this committee. The
bipartisan, bicameral work that we do would not be possible without
leadership on both sides. I could not ask for a better partner. His
staff has been outstanding, as well as we have worked to get this
product.
I highly recommend this bill. Madam Speaker, I urge everyone to vote
in favor of this bill, and I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I
may consume.
I rise in strong support of the Fiscal Year 2022 National Defense
Authorization Act. And I want to start off by saying Chairman Smith has
been a real leader on this effort. He has had obstacle after obstacle
thrown in his way for months and has continued to be a real advocate
for the legislation, but also trying to make sure we get in a good
place. And I couldn't ask for a better partner to lead this committee
with.
The bill before us has strong bipartisan, bicameral support.
Over the last year, we have seen the best of our soldiers, sailors,
marines, airmen, and guardians. They have performed in the toughest
environments with the greatest level of skill and professionalism. Many
gave their lives so others would have a chance at a better life.
Without a doubt, our military is the greatest force for good the
world has ever seen. Providing the authorities and resources our
servicemembers need to defend our Nation and defeat adversaries is the
greatest responsibility we have here in Congress.
We accomplish that responsibility with the bill before us today. It
provides an additional $25 billion over the President's request,
reversing irresponsible cuts to procurement and readiness.
This bill ensures our warfighters are the best equipped and trained
in the world. It puts our servicemembers first, providing a 2.7 percent
pay raise and expanding benefits to their families.
It puts American workers first with historic investments in our
industrial base.
It also begins divesting in legacy systems that will not help us
deter future

[[Page H7217]]

threats. Instead, it invests in new technologies like artificial
intelligence, 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. In recent years, we have seen China use its military
to push out its borders, threaten our allies, and gain footholds on new
continents.
This bill 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 contested environments. It includes provisions
that will remove China from our defense supply chain. And it reaffirms
our support to allies in the region, especially Taiwan.
In Eastern Europe, Russia is on the march again. Putin is threatening
NATO allies and amassing an invasion force on the Ukrainian border.
This bill makes historic investments in the European Defense
Initiative and provides $300 million for Ukraine, $75 million of which
is lethal aid.
Threats from near-peer rivals like China and Russia are not the only
ones we face. Terrorists continue to plot to destroy our way of life,
so we must continue to take the fight to them. With strong investments
in new capabilities and readiness, this bill enables our warfighters to
do just that.
Finally, I think we were all horrified by the disastrous withdrawal
from Afghanistan. This bill includes important provisions to provide
accountability and ensure that we honor the 2,500 Americans who gave
their lives in Afghanistan to keep our Nation safe.
Again, Madam Speaker, this is a carefully drafted bipartisan,
bicameral agreement. I urge all Members to support our servicemembers
and their families by voting in favor of this bill. I reserve the
balance of my time.

{time} 2015

Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the
gentleman from California (Mr. Garamendi), the distinguished chairman
of the Subcommittee on Readiness.
Mr. GARAMENDI. Madam Speaker, the FY22 National Defense Authorization
Act is a bipartisan project of enormous work both by members and staff.
As always, I start by thanking Chairman Smith and Ranking Member Rogers
and the House Committee on Armed Services' staff that worked long hours
and many, many nights putting this year's NDAA together.
I also thank the Subcommittee on Readiness Ranking Member Lamborn,
for his partnership on the subcommittee, as well as all the members of
the subcommittee who contributed to the base bill or submitted
amendments in the process.
In addition, I thank the committee's staff for their many hours of
work in preparing this mark or this legislation. In particular, the
staff of the Subcommittee on Readiness: Jeanine Womble, Ian Bennitt,
Melanie Harris, David Sienicki, Jay Vallario, Wendell White, Whitney
Verrett, and Naajidah Khan.
I am particularly proud of the many priority issues for the
Subcommittee on Readiness that are reflected in this final bill.
Of note, this bill represents a continuation of the work to address
the vulnerabilities of installations, as well as energy resiliency and
response to climate change. We also are prioritizing efforts to address
the contested logistics involving near-peer competitors.
This bill strengthens the operation energy program by requiring the
Department of Defense to create a working group to enhance integration
of military department energy initiatives into operational planning and
platform development to combat the many challenges associated with
contested and congested logistics.
It also represents a step forward in our work to ensure the safety of
our military and civilian personnel is a top priority for the
Department. The FY22 NDAA establishes the Joint Safety Council and
requires the Department of Defense to develop a plan.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentleman has expired.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Speaker, I yield the gentleman an
additional 15 seconds.
Mr. GARAMENDI. The bill also takes important steps to improve the
quality of family life dealing with housing and child development
centers. Notably, $517 million in this bill for PFAS in an effort to
increase transparency and provide information. Finally, the bill takes
key steps to control the cost of expensive programs.
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the
gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Turner), who is not only the ranking member on
Strategic Forces Subcommittee, but has spent years leading the effort
for us to get to meaningful ways to deal with sexual assault in the
military, which this bill does.
Mr. TURNER. Madam Speaker, I thank the ranking member for yielding.
Madam Speaker, I rise in support of the Fiscal Year 2022 National
Defense Authorization Act. I thank Chairman Smith, Ranking Member
Rogers, and, of course, chairman of the Strategic Forces Subcommittee,
Jim Cooper, for once again delivering a National Defense Authorization
Act in a bipartisan manner.
This is, as the chairman was saying, the one time a year that we all
come together, and that is counter to the narrative you see in
Washington, that this truly is a bipartisan product. I thank the
committee staff for continuing that culture.
Madam Speaker, DOD leaders have made it clear that we must do more to
deter adversaries. I am confident that this bill will do that in
countering both Russia and China. As the ranking member of the
Strategic Forces Subcommittee, I am particularly proud of the progress
this bill makes on the issues of nuclear modernization missile defense
in space.
Specifically, the bill fully funds our triad modernization program,
to include the Ground Based Strategic Deterrent, the Long-Range
Standoff Weapon, the B83 gravity bomb life extension, and the two-site
solution for plutonium pit production in Los Alamos and the Savannah
River Site.
The bill prohibits the retirement or reconversion of the W76-2 low-
yield warhead; requires the integration of the LRSO air-launched cruise
missile with the B-21 bomber; and creates a floor of 400 U.S. ICBMs.
On missile defense, it fully funds the Next Generation Interceptor
and supports ensuring our homeland missile defense outpaces the North
Korean ICBM threat. It also funds Guam and additional THAAD
interceptors.
On Space, we continue to push for declassification of programs that
will help us counter China and Russia.
Madam Speaker, I thank the ranking member for his comments and the
chairman for the work in this bill that is done to try to deter and
prevent sexual assault.
Madam Speaker, this NDAA bolsters our national security. It improves
the lives of our servicemembers, and will help us counter the threats
of China and Russia.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Speaker, I yield 2\1/2\ minutes to the
gentleman from Connecticut (Mr. Courtney), chairman of the Seapower and
Projection Forces Subcommittee.
Mr. COURTNEY. Madam Speaker, I rise in strong support of the 2022
National Defense Authorization Act, which is before us this evening.
As chair of the Seapower and Projection Forces Subcommittee, this
bill is proof that our panel upheld its duty under Article 1, Section 8
``to provide and maintain a Navy.''
Our bill authorizes 13 new ships, continuing our tradition to
independently scrub the budget and augment our Navy fleet responsibly.
Within that total, we authorize three destroyers and two additional
Fast Transport ships to support the rapid deployment of equipment and
personnel.
The agreement also reflects our panel's ongoing efforts to
recapitalize our aging sealift. The bill fully authorizes the new
sealift Tanker Security Program, an initiative our panel started last
year to meet gaps in our at-sea refueling capabilities.

It also authorizes the fifth National Security Multi-Mission Vessel,
another initiative our subcommittee led to boost maritime training and
sealift capacity. Later this week, the historic Philly Shipyard will
lay keel for the first in a series of NSMVs, which is tangible proof
that our Nation can rebuild its decrepit sealift fleet with our

[[Page H7218]]

domestic shipbuilding industrial base. To that end, this agreement
rejects a request to further our reliance on used foreign-built sealift
ships.
Madam Speaker, of particular note, is the mark on undersea
capabilities, which at the end of the day is the most effective path to
deter the pacing threat of China. For proof of this, look no further
than AUKUS, the recent security agreement between the U.S., U.K., and
Australia, whose centerpiece is building a new fleet of Aussie nuclear-
powered submarines. This NDAA funds two per year Virginia-class subs
and full production of the Columbia program. It also includes House
provisions of $200 million for a new facility, $130 million for
supplier development, and $20 million for workforce development.
Altogether, this will increase production capacity to help both our
allies and our Navy to maintain dominance in the undersea domain.
Madam Speaker, I thank Ranking Member Rob Wittman and all the
members on the subcommittee for their great bipartisan work building
the NDAA this year, as well as Chairman Smith and Ranking Member
Rogers.
I also thank Phil McNaughton, Dave Sienicki, and Kelly Goggin for
their great staff work, and Lieutenant Commander Matt Harmon, my Navy
fellow, who is sadly leaving us soon. His really solid contribution as
a SWO really was instrumental in terms of the work that our
subcommittee was able to produce.
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the
gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Wittman).
Mr. WITTMAN. Madam Speaker, I thank Mr. Rogers for yielding.
Madam Speaker, our national security is in jeopardy. Russia literally
has over 100,000 troops sitting on Ukraine's doorstep. Iran continues
to threaten the viability of Israel and other regional nations, and
China is preparing to bully the ASEAN nations into submission and
declare their regional hegemony, not just in Hong Kong but the entire
region.
Just this year, China surpassed the United States in battle force
ships and is rapidly approaching parity in our combat aircraft.
Do we have the courage to stand up to these regional tyrants; do we
oppose an Iranian regime who threatens to destabilize neighboring
countries while they seek nuclear capabilities; or even do we seek to
appease a North Korea who continues to threaten South Korea and even
the United States with their nuclear expansion?
Our Nation sits at the precipice of a national security inflection
point. I know which path our Nation should select and I am emboldened
to ensure our Nation is prepared to choose, at a time of our choosing,
what will be in the best interest of our Nation. A strong national
defense is necessary to preserve our democratic ideals and the nations
who seek to live free from subjugation and oppression.
Madam Speaker, that is why I am particularly pleased that we have
rejected a multitude of national security objectives proposed by the
Biden administration. This bill authorizes a 20 percent increase in
ship construction, partially rejects an ill-advised ``divest to
invest'' strategy, and blocks a multitude of poison pills that were
haphazardly tacked on to this bill.
I thank Ranking Member Rogers and his leadership during the top-line
debate this year. We are adopting his authorization vision today, a
vision that ensures real growth for defense. I also particularly thank
Chairman Smith and Chairman Courtney for their approach to national
security and their desire to reach a bipartisan consensus, doing what
is in the best interest of our Nation.
Madam Speaker, I say to my friends that this is a good bill, worthy
of support. It sends a strong message to our democratic partners and
allies that the United States stands with countries that oppose
regional hegemony. We need to pass the National Defense Authorization
Act to ensure our national security.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the
gentleman from Rhode Island (Mr. Langevin), chair of the Subcommittee
on Cyber, Innovative Technologies, and Information Systems.
Mr. LANGEVIN. Madam Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding.
Madam Speaker, I rise today in strong support of the National Defense
Authorization Act. I begin by congratulating and thanking Chairman
Smith and Ranking Member Rogers, as well as my counterparts on the CITI
Subcommittee, Ranking Member Banks and former Ranking Member Stefanik
for their bipartisan collaboration in helping to craft a national
defense bill for the 61st consecutive year.
Thanks to the work of my subcommittee, this legislation includes a
significant increase in early-stage research. Our research enterprise
has always ensured our technology superiority. It is how we won the
space race. Today, as the battlefield expands into cyberspace and outer
space, we find ourselves facing a more aggressive Russia and China. I
am proud that Congress has unlocked funds for hypersonics defense,
directed energy, quantum computing, machine learning, and biotechnology
so that we never send our war fighters into a fair fight.
Madam Speaker, I am most proud that this bill includes many
recommendations from the National Security Commission on Artificial
Intelligence, including funds to accelerate the deployment of new
technology to the war fighter. I am also proud that in our first year
as a subcommittee, the Subcommittee on Cyber, Innovative Technologies,
and Information Systems, we have made significant investments in our
cybersecurity forces, set a course for improved cybersecurity
governance within the Department, and continue to strengthen the
Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure
Security Agency.

The NDAA also fully funds key national security platforms, the
Virginia-class and Columbia-class submarine programs. I thank the Rhode
Islanders who build our Nation's submarines and make our country safer.
Finally, this bill funds installation resilience projects to address
the ongoing threat from climate change.
These achievements would not have been possible without the work of
my subcommittee staff and personal staff.
I thank Michael Hermann, Josh Stiefel, Troy Nienberg, Payson Ruhl,
Caroline Goodson, and Juliann Hitt, and former staffers Bess Dopkeen
and Caroline Kehrli.
Madam Speaker, I urge all of my colleagues to support this bipartisan
commitment to national security.
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the
gentleman from Texas (Mr. Jackson), an outstanding freshman member of
our committee.
Mr. JACKSON. Madam Speaker, I rise in support of a critical piece of
legislation that comes before Congress each year, the National Defense
Authorization Act. First, I thank Ranking Member Rogers and his staff
for their outstanding leadership in this effort.
This bill modernizes our force, gives a well-deserved raise to our
servicemembers, and provides them with the equipment they need to
compete with China, Russia, and Iran.
For the 13th District of Texas, this bill will protect the nuclear
triad, it will modernize the Pantex Plant in Amarillo, and it will
support training done at Sheppard Air Force Base in Wichita Falls. It
also included provisions that I authored to put servicemembers first
and ensure the safety of all of our soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines,
and guardians.
This NDAA also pushes back on the unconstitutional vaccine mandate,
and it holds the Biden administration accountable for its failed
Afghanistan withdrawal.
Just as important, there are some notable provisions that are not
included. This bill does not contain harmful provisions that threaten
the Second Amendment and it does not require our daughters to register
for the draft.
Bottom line: This bill is a win for the military, it is a win for the
Texas 13th Congressional District, and it is a win for this country.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the
gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Norcross), chair of the Tactical Air and
Land Force Subcommittee.
Mr. NORCROSS. Madam Speaker, I thank Chairman Smith and Ranking
Member Rogers for their leadership in bringing this bill to the floor.
This is our opportunity to pass the Defense Authorization Act for the
61st straight year. That is important.

[[Page H7219]]

Madam Speaker, this bill continues the Tactical Air and Land Forces
Subcommittee's long tradition of bipartisan work to make America's
Armed Forces continue to be the best in the world.
I commend the hard work by our members, certainly our staff, and
everyone else in this rather unusual, complicated, and demanding year.

{time} 2030

I especially want to thank Ranking Member Hartzler for her leadership
and commitment to this bill. Our bipartisan cooperation in the House,
once again, paid dividends in delivering a defense bill that meets the
modernization and readiness needs of our Nation's air and land forces.
Madam Speaker, this bill carefully manages our military resources
while increasing our congressional oversight of DOD's large, complex,
and expensive programs. Certainly, this is something that demands our
attention and it certainly has.
This billing includes significant compromises, many of which I
personally do not agree with. This is a good bill, and it furthers
America's national security needs.
Madam Speaker, I urge everyone to support this bill.
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the
gentleman from Arkansas (Mr. Crawford).
Mr. CRAWFORD. Madam Speaker, I thank the gentleman from Alabama for
his leadership.
Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of the 2022 NDAA. This process
began months ago. A bill was introduced, Members offered amendments,
debated accordingly, and reached bicameral consensus.
However, as Members arrived in Washington this afternoon, they
realized they only had about 8 hours to review and vote on a 2,100-page
document to secure our national defense--a surprising and frustrating
process that has become all too familiar with House Democrats and the
majority.
While I will always support our men and women in uniform, I am
concerned that not all these men and women, specifically those who
serve in the Army as explosive ordnance disposal technicians, as I once
did, are adequately equipped to defend our Nation by this year's
version of NDAA. I will continue to work hard to achieve this purpose
going forward.
I am voting in favor of the legislation because of the critical
funding it provides for our national defense, pay raises for our
servicemen and -women, provisions to hold the Biden administration
accountable on its irresponsible withdraw from Afghanistan, and serious
steps to assess the involvement of the Chinese Communist Party in the
origins of COVID-19 as well as their unacceptable and increasingly
aggressive behavior around the world.
I sincerely hope that next year we have more time to absorb the final
provisions of the NDAA to make sure that all of our troops feel
confident they have the full support of Congress.
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 S. 1605, the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022.
I am proud that we in the House and Senate have completed our work on
this defense bill and reached bipartisan consensus in support of our
national security and our men and women in uniform.
This year's bill contains multiple provisions to address strategic
challenges presented by China and Russia, to strengthen our ability to
operate in the grey zone of conflict, and to deepen relationships with
key allies and partners.
As chair of the Intelligence and Special Operations Subcommittee, I
am proud of the provisions of this bill that represent critical reforms
to the defense intelligence enterprise, Special Operations Forces, and
our ability to counter weapons of mass destruction.
Our bill creates more agility across the defense intelligence
enterprise by expanding information sharing with allies and partners
and breaking down barriers to information sharing. This enhances our
warfighters' and combatant commanders' ability to counter China and
Russia in the information environment.
The bill authorizes investments in emergent technologies for
intelligence systems, including increasing funding for Project Maven,
military information support operations, and the continued use of Small
Business Innovation Research to develop AI-enabled data storage system
solutions.
Our bill authorizes a $105 million increase 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.
It also establishes an office and organizational structure and
provides authorities to address unidentified aerial phenomena.
Finally, the bill strengthens alliances and partnerships with key
countries in the Indo-Pacific, like South Korea and Taiwan, and in
Europe. I am particularly proud that for the first time this bill
recognizes the Baltic Security Initiative, which will provide robust
support to Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, and further strengthen
deterrence in the region at a time of heightened tensions.
I want to thank my subcommittee ranking member, Trent Kelly, for his
contribution. I also want to thank the staff, Shannon Green, Jessica
Carroll, Zachary Taylor, and Patrick Nevins, as well as my MLA,
Michelle, for their tireless efforts.
Madam Speaker, 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, implements landmark UCMJ
reforms, and combats extremism in the military.
It 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 strong
support of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022.
This year's 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 NDAA 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. The bill reinforces the committee's
longstanding commitment to the military family by requiring DOD to
increase parental leave, expand the in-home childcare pilot program, it
improves support available to military families with special needs
children, and provides comprehensive reform of DOD's family violence
prevention and response program.
It also requires the Department to standardize the definition of
professional military education across the joint force. It requires DOD
to report to Congress on the number of military personnel infected with
COVID-19 at the 2019 World Military Games in Wuhan, China. It increases
funding for COVID-19 vaccine research, while providing $35 million for
research and treatment of Havana syndrome.
Madam Speaker, this is an outstanding NDAA. I want to thank the
chairman and ranking member for their tireless efforts in working
together to preserve the bipartisan spirit of this committee. I also
want to thank the chairwoman of the Military Personnel Subcommittee
that I work with, Ms. Speier.
Madam Speaker, this is a bill we can all be proud of.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the
gentlewoman from California (Ms. Speier), the chair of the Military
Personnel Subcommittee.
Ms. SPEIER. Madam Speaker, I thank our outstanding chairman.
Madam Speaker, this helmet has been on my shelf in my office for 9
years. It has the signatures of 58 military servicemembers who have
been sexually assaulted. It was a daily reminder to me that we had so
much work to do.
The clarion call of them, and so many others, hundreds of thousands
of other servicemembers who have been sexually assaulted in the
military has

[[Page H7220]]

finally been heard. We cannot erase their anguish, their pain, their
abuse, their scarring, but we can, through this NDAA, change it for
future servicemembers.
Make no mistake, Madam Speaker, this is a seismic reform of the
military justice system as it relates to sexual assault, as it relates
to murder, as it relates to kidnapping. It is, in fact, creating a
separate, distinct office which will be populated by those who are
professional lawyers skilled in sexual assault, and investigators who
will do the investigations. They will make the decisions as to whether
or not these cases move forward.
Beyond that, we make a crime of sexual harassment. We don't go far
enough because, unfortunately, it is still in the chain of command.
Mind you, 100,000 servicemembers are sexually harassed every year.
Sexual harassment begets sexual assault. We have more work to do there.
Beyond that, in this particular measure we have a 2.7 percent
increase for our servicemembers. We also provide up to 12 weeks of
parental leave. Our version had a required opportunity for 12 weeks,
but that was changed, and, hopefully, we will move on that in the
future. We are improving childcare centers that are failing.
We have required an independent review commission to look at suicides
within the military.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentlewoman has expired.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Speaker, I yield an additional 30
seconds to the gentlewoman from California.
Ms. SPEIER. Madam Speaker, we have now required racial and gender
data collection for NJP. We also are providing better access to mental
health.
In the end, when servicemembers serve so do their families. This bill
delivers on our commitment to them and to the military families. It
also honors the memory of Specialist Guillen and others like her who
have been killed, as well as the tens of thousands of survivors living
with the scars of sexual assault.
Madam Speaker, I thank Josh Connolly, my chief of staff; Brian
Collins; Chuck Jackson, my fellow. I also thank the committee staff,
Ilka Regino, Hannah Kaufman, Dave Giachetti, Ranking Member Mike
Gallagher, and a special thanks to Chairman Adam Smith, who has worked
so closely with me in making sure we got to this point.
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the
gentleman from California (Mr. Garcia).
Mr. GARCIA of California. Madam Speaker, I want to commend both sides
of the aisle for a rather strong National Defense Authorization Act and
commend the gentleman from Alabama (Mr. Rogers) for his revisions.
Madam Speaker, it is a good top-line NDAA, it makes the strategic and
tactical level investments necessary to catch up and keep pace with
China. A lot of this technology that we are investing in is developed,
built, and tested in my district, the 25th Congressional District.
This removes red flag provisions. It allows for those who don't want
to get vaccinated to be separated from the service with an honorable
discharge.
Clearly, I support this bill and it is an excellent NDAA. I do think
we need to do better when it comes to our troops' base pay. Some may
tout the 2.7 percent pay increase. I see it as anemic, frankly, and it
is actually aggravating the pay gap between military servicemembers and
their civilian counterparts.
With record inflation, our troops, especially the junior enlisted,
continue to be hammered financially. If we want to deter threats and
win wars in the modern battlefield, which we have to, we need to
attract and retain more talent.
If we want to end things like conscription, and we should, we need to
better incentivize our enlisted ranks to join and stay in. I urge
support.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my
time.
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the
gentleman from Texas (Mr. Fallon).

Mr. FALLON. Madam Speaker, I want to take a minute to thank Ranking
Member Rogers for his tremendous leadership.
Madam Speaker, I rise today in strong support of the 2022 National
Defense Authorization Act. Not only does this bill authorize the
necessary investments to maintain our global competitiveness in the
face of increasing Chinese and Russian aggression, but it takes
critical steps to protect our men and women in uniform.
In particular, this bill authorizes almost $200 million in lifesaving
technology to prevent Humvee rollovers. I am honored to represent Red
River Army Depot where a significant portion of this work will be done.
The investment will save the American taxpayers $12.8 billion
compared to the Army's original plan, and it will save countless lives.
Madam Speaker, I thank the ranking member and all of our colleagues
on the Armed Services Committee for their work on this, and I urge
final passage of this bill.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my
time.
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the
gentlewoman from Florida (Mrs. Cammack).
Mrs. CAMMACK. Madam Speaker, I thank the ranking member of the Armed
Services Committee and all of my colleagues for bringing us to this
point here today.
Madam Speaker, I rise in support of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022. I want to sincerely thank every
single member who worked in a productive, constructive, and helpful
manner to get us to this finish line.
Funding our military, taking care of our troops, and providing for
the common defense is, in fact, our duty. Promises made, promises kept.
We did what we said we were going to do. No dishonorable discharges for
servicemembers who refuse the vaccine, and it is retroactive. No
unconstitutional red flag laws. We killed and buried the dangerous
office of domestic extremism.
This bill counters China, gets them out of our supply chain, and
holds this administration accountable on Afghanistan. This bill is a
win for our military, our communities, our national guard, for our
country.
It is time to stop talking about getting Americans out of
Afghanistan. It is time to stop talking about securing the border. It
is time to stop talking about holding China accountable. It is time for
action. This bill does all that and more.
Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes.''
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 Colorado (Mr. Lamborn).
Mr. LAMBORN. Madam Speaker, I rise in support of S. 1605, the Fiscal
Year 2022 National Defense Authorization Act. I commend our chairman
and ranking member for negotiating a strong bipartisan bill, which
provides our troops with the resources they need to accomplish the
missions they are given.
I thank my partner and chairman on the Readiness Subcommittee, John
Garamendi, for his leadership and hard work in crafting legislation
that we can all support. I thank my committee staff, Ian Bennitt, Dave
Sienicki, Whitney Verett, and Kyle Noyes, and my Space Force Fellow--
first time in congressional history--Chris Brown, for all of their
exemplary professionalism.

{time} 2045

This legislation could not come at a more opportune time. As we
speak, Russia is amassing troops on the border of Ukraine, and China
continues to rapidly modernize their strategic capabilities, including
hypersonic drive vehicles, with their eyes on Taiwan.
This legislation is not perfect, but what it does do is ramp up
procurement of vital weapons systems, support our combatant commands,
restore spending to essential readiness accounts, and continue
modernizing our strategic capabilities in the space and nuclear
domains.
Importantly, it also provides some protections, partly through my
amendment, for those troops who do not take the COVID-19 vaccine and
requires DOD to consider natural immunity as part of their exemption
policy. We also removed troubling red-flag language and the requirement
for women to register for Selective Service.

[[Page H7221]]

Madam Speaker, this is a good bill. I am happy to support this
legislation, and I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes.''
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Speaker, I am prepared to close at
this point if the gentleman is.
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I yield myself the balance of
my time.
Madam Speaker, I want to again thank Chairman Smith, Chairman Reed,
Ranking Member Inhofe, and all the members of HASC and SASC for their
tremendous work this year. I also want to thank our committee staff on
both sides of the aisle, as well as staff from leadership, legislative
counsel, and CBO, for their hard work and dedication. Enormous numbers
of hours were put into this endeavor over the course of this year, and
I can't overstate how much I appreciate the staff work.
Finally, Madam Speaker, today is the day we honor the brave 3,500
American servicemembers killed or wounded in Pearl Harbor. On that day
and again on September 11, our Nation came together and vowed to defend
our homeland and protect our freedom from all enemies. Each year,
Congress comes together in an effort to fulfill that vow by passing the
National Defense Authorization Act.
Madam Speaker, I urge all Members to do that again this year and pass
the NDAA, and I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Speaker, I yield myself the balance of
my time.
Madam Speaker, I want to begin at an odd place. I don't want to
discourage people from voting for this bill, but on the vaccine mandate
issue, I want to make very clear that I heard a lot of things that were
supposed to be done in this bill; none of that was done in the bill. We
don't have anything in the bill which tells the military what they can
or cannot do in terms of punishing people for refusing to meet the
vaccine mandate, as a starting point. We certainly don't have anything
in the bill that says natural immunity can count.
We do have language in the bill that says that the military should
take a look at how the vaccine mandate could be--sorry. It is not in
the bill; it is in bill language, which is a different thing. It says
you can look at how the vaccine mandate is affecting recruitment and
retention, and that is fine.
But all that other stuff, Madam Speaker, for those of you who are
listening and thinking I may have lost my mind, I have not. We did not
support that and did not do that.
That minor point aside, this is an outstanding piece of legislation
that is truly bipartisan. There are a lot of small, little things here
and there. But, again, the big picture is everything we do in this bill
and everything that you heard, Madam Speaker, from primarily the chairs
and ranking members of our subcommittee, an exhaustive list of all the
provisions that are so important in making sure that we meet our
obligations on national security, defense, and supporting the men and
women who serve. It is a ton of work to figure out those policies, and
it has never been, in my view, more important during my time in
Congress.
As we have heard, we have these threats that are out there. They are
real and as complex as they have ever been. Then also, we have the
rapid pace of technology and innovation that is changing what is
necessary to provide adequate deterrence and to provide adequate
defense on a minute-to-minute basis.
The most crucial thing in our ability to meet our national security
objectives is: How quickly are we going to innovate? How quickly are we
going to adapt?
We are not innovating and adapting quickly enough right now, and
there are a whole bunch of provisions in this bill to help push the
Pentagon in the correct direction, to help make sure we give them the
help they need or, in some cases, the push they need to adopt the
technology that is going to move us in a better direction.
We also have a lot in this bill to help improve competition and to
deal with some of the very painful cost overruns that we have seen on
programs like the KC-46 tanker, programs like the F-35, and a whole
series of other issues.
We introduce competition, and we introduce ways to make sure that we
take advantage of technology because every time I see a cost overrun--
and the Speaker is uniquely positioned to understand this. Again, we
have these terrible cost overruns we hear about, and we always hear:
Oh, well, it is a software problem.
Well, yes, it is like a multibillion-dollar software problem. So why
don't we fix those software problems and save us a lot of money?
This bill pushes us more in the direction of getting after those
problems than any bill that I have worked on. It is an incredibly
important piece of legislation that moves us forward in a positive
direction.
Yes, we are also able to carry a few issues that were not in our
jurisdiction. In fact, Madam Speaker, with the permission of everyone,
the chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee has arrived and was going to
speak.
Madam Speaker, if I could yield to him just 1 minute or 2 to talk
about the Committee on Foreign Affairs because the committee
reauthorized a provision that is contained in this bill as well. I want
to make sure the distinguished chairman of the Foreign Affairs
Committee has at least a couple of minutes.

Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes of my remaining time to the
gentleman from New York (Mr. Meeks) to talk about the Foreign Affairs
provision, and then I will close when he is done.
Mr. MEEKS. Madam Speaker, I want to thank the distinguished chair of
the House Armed Services Committee for all of his hard work in putting
together, as he was just closing, what I think is a bill that is one of
the best--a lot of hard work that he has done. I thank the ranking
member also.
Madam Speaker, I rise today to speak in favor of passing this measure
here before us today.
Every year for the past six decades, Congress has passed a Defense
authorization bill. This is an important bipartisan tradition, and I
commend, as I said, Chairman Smith for his admirable work carrying out
this legacy.
Unfortunately, Congress has been asleep at the wheel when it comes to
our State Department. We have not passed a comprehensive State
Department authorization in nearly two decades. Congress has been
attuned to defense for decades, but we have consistently left diplomacy
out to dry.
I am glad that tonight we will be ending this trend by passing out
both a Defense authorization bill and a bipartisan State authorization
bill contained therein. We need a State Department for the century
ahead, not decades past, and my State authorization bill will now put
us on that track.
Now, no bill is perfect. Unfortunately, I am disappointed that there
are some provisions that were not included in this NDAA. Saudi Arabia's
abuse against dissidents and civil society has continued since the
brutal murder of Jamal Khashoggi, yet two bipartisan House provisions
that addressed some of these human rights violations were dropped in
the final package. Other amendments that would have ended needless
civilian casualties resulting from the brutal war in Yemen were also
removed by Senate Republicans, though we had a bipartisan agreement in
this House.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentleman has expired.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Speaker, I yield an additional 30
seconds to the gentleman from New York.
Mr. MEEKS. Finally, Madam Speaker, provisions promoting diversity and
other management reforms at the State Department were also left out.
These are just a few examples of where the bill falls a little short.
Despite the efforts of many of our members of the Foreign Affairs
Committee, and my own as chair, we were unable to secure the requisite
support from Senate Republicans to advance important provisions in this
final bill.
Nevertheless, Madam Speaker, there are other important provisions
contained in this NDAA, including State authorization, and I urge my
colleagues to vote in the affirmative.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Speaker, I want to start by thanking
the staff for the outstanding job that they do. As I have always said,
Members have constituents coming at us on a variety of different
issues. We come up with ideas and say we ought to do this. And from
that, that idea actually has to be written down and has to get
approval. It is the staff that does all

[[Page H7222]]

that tireless work to make sure that we get the final product that is
in front of us. I really, really want to thank the staff.
I want to emphasize the fact that our staff on the Armed Services
Committee is a bipartisan staff. It is the only committee in Congress
that does that. Whether we are in charge or the Republicans are in
charge, the staff is bipartisan, and I think that is incredibly
important in getting the work done in the way that we do, working
together to produce this product. This is a product every single Member
of this body can be proud of, and it is a product I think every single
Member of this body should vote for.
Madam Speaker, I urge passage, and I yield back the balance of my
time.
Mr. McHENRY. Madam Speaker, I rise in support of S. 1605, the
National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for fiscal year 2022.
Debt Bondage is a terrible crime, and many victims find themselves
trapped in a perpetual cycle of forced labor and coerced debt because
of it. Helping these survivors regain their livelihood is a nonpartisan
issue.
Earlier this year, the Financial Services Committee held a hearing on
the financing of human trafficking. We heard from powerful witnesses,
including Reverend Doctor Marian Hatcher, who is a trafficking
survivor. It was her story, which inspired my original bill H.R. 2332,
the Debt Bondage Repair Act.
Dr. Hatcher, like too many in this country, fell victim to human
traffickers. Thankfully, she was able to escape a terrible situation
and restore her life. However, she struggled to reestablish herself
because of her credit score, which was negatively affected by loans she
was forced to obtain her traffickers.
Madam Speaker, this is how these criminals trap an individual into a
cycle of victimization. Traffickers will take out loans, open
businesses, and destroy their victim's credit, which forces them to
remain a victim until they pay off the debt. Too often, these victims
are never able to get out.
Section 6102 in the final text has the potential to help thousands of
victims every year by ensuring that a consumer reporting agency may not
furnish a credit report with adverse information from a severe form of
trafficking. While this does not erase the terrible crimes committed
against them, it will help survivors to regain their financial freedom
and begin to rebuild their lives.
I will conclude by thanking Chairwoman Waters for passing my bill
H.R. 2332 on suspension earlier this Congress, and for including my
provision in the House NDAA base text. Additionally, I would like to
thank the numerous trafficking advocacy groups and the Consumer Data
Industry Association for their work on H.R. 2332.
I urge my colleagues to support the conference agreement.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. All time for debate has expired.
Pursuant to House Resolution 838, the previous question is ordered on
the bill, as amended.
The question is on the third reading of the bill.
The bill was ordered to be read a third time, and was read the third
time.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the passage of the bill.
The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that
the ayes appeared to have it.
Mr. SMITH of Washington. 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.
