         TITLE III--NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION FOR THE FUTURE

     SEC. 10301. FINDINGS.

       Congress finds the following:
       (1) Over the past seven decades, the National Science 
     Foundation has played a critical role in advancing the United 
     States academic research enterprise by supporting fundamental 
     research and education across science and engineering 
     disciplines.
       (2) Discoveries enabled by sustained investment in 
     fundamental research and the education of the United States 
     science and engineering workforce have led to 
     transformational innovations and spawned new industries.
       (3) While the traditional approach to investment in 
     research has delivered myriad benefits to society, a 
     concerted effort is needed to ensure the benefits of 
     federally funded science and engineering are enjoyed by all 
     Americans.
       (4) As countries around the world increase investments in 
     research and STEM education, United States global leadership 
     in science and engineering is eroding, posing significant 
     risks to economic competitiveness, national security, and 
     public well-being.
       (5) To address major societal challenges and sustain United 
     States leadership in innovation, the Federal Government must 
     increase investments in research, broaden participation in 
     the STEM workforce, and bolster collaborations among 
     universities, National Laboratories, field stations and 
     marine laboratories, companies, labor organizations, non-
     profit funders of research, local policymakers, civil 
     societies and stakeholder communities, and international 
     partners.

             TITLE IV--BIOECONOMY RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

     SEC. 10401. FINDINGS.

       The Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Cellular and molecular processes may be used, mimicked, 
     or redesigned to develop new products, processes, and systems 
     that improve societal well-being, strengthen national 
     security, and contribute to the economy.
       (2) Engineering biology relies on a workforce with a 
     diverse and unique set of skills combining the biological, 
     physical, chemical, and information sciences and engineering.
       (3) Long-term research and development is necessary to 
     create breakthroughs in engineering biology. Such research 
     and development requires government investment as many of the 
     benefits are too distant or uncertain for industry to support 
     alone.
       (4) Research is necessary to inform evidence-based 
     governance of engineering biology and to support the growth 
     of the engineering biology industry.
       (5) The Federal Government has an obligation to ensure that 
     ethical, legal, environmental, safety, security, and societal 
     implications of its science and technology research and 
     investment follows policies of responsible innovation and 
     fosters public transparency.
       (6) The Federal Government can play an important role by 
     facilitating the development of tools and technologies to 
     further advance engineering biology, including user 
     facilities, by facilitating public-private partnerships, by 
     supporting risk research, and by facilitating the commercial 
     application in the United States of research funded by the 
     Federal Government.
       (7) The United States led the development of the science 
     and engineering techniques that created the field of 
     engineering biology, but due to increasing international 
     competition, the United States is at risk of losing its 
     competitive advantage if it does not strategically invest the 
     necessary resources.
       (8) A National Engineering Biology Initiative can serve to 
     establish new research directions and technology goals, 
     improve interagency coordination and planning processes, 
     drive technology transfer to the private sector, and help 
     ensure optimal returns on the Federal investment.

              TITLE V--BROADENING PARTICIPATION IN SCIENCE

                     Subtitle A--STEM Opportunities

     SEC. 10501. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds the following:
       (1) Many reports over the past decade have found that it is 
     critical to our Nation's economic leadership and global 
     competitiveness that the United States educates and trains 
     more scientists and engineers.
       (2) Research shows that women and minorities who are 
     interested in STEM careers are disproportionately lost at 
     nearly every educational transition and at every career 
     milestone.
       (3) The National Center for Science and Engineering 
     Statistics at the National Science Foundation collects, 
     compiles, analyzes, and publishes data on the demographics of 
     STEM degrees and STEM jobs in the United States.
       (4) Women now earn nearly 37 percent of all STEM bachelor's 
     degrees, but major variations persist among fields. In 2017, 
     women earned only 20 percent of all bachelor's degrees 
     awarded in engineering and 19 percent of bachelor's degrees 
     awarded in computer sciences. Based on Bureau of Labor 
     Statistics data, jobs in computing occupations are expected 
     to account for nearly 60 percent of the projected annual 
     growth of newly created STEM job openings from 2016 to 2026.
       (5) In 2017, underrepresented minority groups comprised 39 
     percent of the college-age population of the United States, 
     but only 18 percent of students who earned bachelor's degrees 
     in STEM fields. The Higher Education Research Institute at 
     the University of California, Los Angeles, found that, while 
     freshmen from underrepresented minority groups express an 
     interest in pursuing a STEM undergraduate degree at the same 
     rate as all other freshmen, only 22.1 percent of Latino 
     students, 18.4 percent of African-American students, and 18.8 
     percent of Native American students studying in STEM fields 
     complete their degree within 5 years, compared to 
     approximately 33 percent of White students and 42 percent of 
     Asian students who complete their degree within 5 years.
       (6) In some STEM fields, including the computer sciences, 
     women persist at about the same rate through doctorate 
     degrees. In other STEM fields, women persist through 
     doctorate degrees at a lower rate. In mathematics, women earn 
     just 26 percent of doctorate degrees compared with 42 percent 
     of undergraduate degrees. Overall, women earned 38 percent of 
     STEM doctorate degrees in 2016. The rate of minority students 
     earning STEM doctorate degrees in physics is 9 percent, 
     compared with 15 percent for bachelor's degree. Students from 
     underrepresented minority groups accounted for only 11.5 
     percent of STEM doctorate degrees awarded in 2016.
       (7) The representation of women in STEM drops significantly 
     from the doctorate degree level to the faculty level. 
     Overall, women hold only 26 percent of all tenured and 
     tenure-track positions and 27 percent of full professor 
     positions in STEM fields in our Nation's universities and 4-
     year colleges. Black and Hispanic faculty together hold about 
     6.8 percent of all tenured and tenure-track positions and 7.5 
     percent of full professor positions. Many of the numbers in 
     the American Indian or Alaskan Native and Native Hawaiian or 
     Other Pacific Islander categories for different faculty ranks 
     were too small for the National Science Foundation to report 
     publicly without potentially compromising confidential 
     information about the individuals being surveyed.
       (8) The representation of women is especially low at our 
     Nation's top research universities. Even in the biological 
     sciences, in which women now earn more than 50 percent of the 
     doctorates and passed the 25 percent level 37 years ago, 
     women make up only 25 percent of the full professors at the 
     approximately 100 most research-intensive universities in the 
     United States. In the physical sciences and mathematics, 
     women make up only 11 percent of full professors, in computer 
     sciences only 10 percent, and across engineering fields only 
     7 percent. The data suggest that approximately 6 percent of 
     all tenure-track STEM faculty members at the most research-
     intensive universities are from underrepresented minority 
     groups, but in some fields the numbers are too small to 
     report publicly.
       (9) By 2050, underrepresented minorities will comprise 52 
     percent of the college-age population of the United States. 
     If the percentage of female students and students from 
     underrepresented minority groups earning bachelor's degrees 
     in STEM fields does not significantly increase, the United 
     States will face an acute shortfall in the overall number of 
     students who earn degrees in STEM fields just as United 
     States companies are increasingly seeking students with those 
     skills. With this impending shortfall, the United States will 
     almost certainly lose its competitive edge in the 21st 
     century global economy.
       (10) According to a 2014 Association for Women in Science 
     survey of over 4,000 scientists across the globe, 70 percent 
     of whom were men, STEM researchers face significant 
     challenges in work-life integration. Researchers in the 
     United States were among the most likely to experience a 
     conflict between work and their personal life at least 
     weekly. One-third of researchers surveyed said that ensuring 
     good work-life integration has negatively impacted their 
     careers, and, of researchers intending to leave their current 
     job within the next year, 9 percent indicated it was because 
     they were unable to balance work and life demands.
       (11) Female students and students from underrepresented 
     minority groups at institutions of higher education who see 
     few others ``like themselves'' among faculty and student 
     populations often do not experience the social integration 
     that is necessary for success in all disciplines, including 
     STEM.
       (12) One in five children in the United States attend 
     school in a rural community. The data shows that rural 
     students are at a disadvantage with respect to STEM 
     readiness. Among STEM-interested students, 17 percent of 
     students in rural high schools and 18 percent of students in 
     town-located high schools meet the ACT STEM Benchmark, 
     compared with 33 percent of students in suburban high schools 
     and 27 percent of students in urban high schools.
       (13) A substantial body of evidence establishes that most 
     people hold implicit biases. Decades of cognitive psychology 
     research reveal that most people carry prejudices of which 
     they are unaware but that nonetheless play a large role in 
     evaluations of people and their work. Unintentional biases 
     and outmoded institutional structures are hindering the 
     access and advancement of women, minorities, and other groups 
     historically underrepresented in STEM.
       (14) Workshops held to educate faculty about unintentional 
     biases have demonstrated success in raising awareness of such 
     biases.
       (15) In 2012, the Office of Diversity and Equal Opportunity 
     of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (in this 
     subtitle referred to as ``NASA'') completed a report that--
       (A) is specifically designed to help NASA grant recipients 
     identify why the dearth of women in STEM fields continues and 
     to ensure that it is not due to discrimination; and
       (B) provides guidance that is usable by all institutions of 
     higher education receiving significant Federal research 
     funding on how to conduct meaningful self-evaluations of 
     campus culture and policies.
       (16) The Federal Government provides 55 percent of research 
     funding at institutions of higher education and, through its 
     grant-making policies, has had significant influence on 
     institution of higher education policies, including policies 
     related to institutional culture and structure.

     SEC. 10502. PURPOSES.

       The purposes of this subtitle are as follows:
       (1) To ensure that Federal science agencies and 
     institutions of higher education receiving Federal research 
     and development funding are fully engaging the entire talent 
     pool of the United States.
       (2) To promote research on, and increase understanding of, 
     the participation and trajectories of women, minorities, and 
     other groups historically underrepresented in STEM studies

[[Page H408]]

     and careers, including persons with disabilities, older 
     learners, veterans, and rural, poor, and tribal populations, 
     at institutions of higher education and Federal science 
     agencies, including Federal laboratories.
       (3) To raise awareness within Federal science agencies, 
     including Federal laboratories, and institutions of higher 
     education about cultural and institutional barriers limiting 
     the recruitment, retention, promotion, and other indicators 
     of participation and achievement of women, minorities, and 
     other groups historically underrepresented in academic and 
     Government STEM research careers at all levels.
       (4) To identify, disseminate, and implement best practices 
     at Federal science agencies, including Federal laboratories, 
     and at institutions of higher education to remove or reduce 
     cultural and institutional barriers limiting the recruitment, 
     retention, and success of women, minorities, and other groups 
     historically underrepresented in academic and Government STEM 
     research careers.
       (5) To provide grants to institutions of higher education 
     to recruit, retain, and advance STEM faculty members from 
     underrepresented minority groups and to implement or expand 
     reforms in undergraduate STEM education in order to increase 
     the number of students from underrepresented minority groups 
     receiving degrees in these fields.

     practices for--
       (A) conducting periodic climate surveys of STEM departments 
     and divisions, with a particular focus on identifying any 
     cultural or institutional barriers to the recruitment, 
     retention, or advancement of women, racial and ethnic 
     minorities, and other groups historically underrepresented in 
     STEM studies and careers; and
       (B) providing educational opportunities, including 
     workshops as described in subsection (b), for STEM faculty,

     guidance developed under paragraph (1)--
       (A) the Director of the National Science Foundation shall 
     develop a policy that--
       (i) applies to, at a minimum, doctoral degree granting 
     institutions that receive Federal research funding; and
       (ii) requires each such institution, not later than 3 years 
     after the date of enactment of this Act, to report to the 
     Director of the National Science Foundation on activities and 
     policies

[[Page H409]]

     developed and implemented based on the guidance developed 
     under paragraph (1); and
       (B) each Federal science agency with a Federal laboratory 
     shall maintain or develop and implement practices and 
     policies for the purposes described in paragraph (1) for such 
     laboratory.
       (b) Workshops To Address Cultural Barriers to Expanding the 
     Academic and Federal STEM Workforce.--
       (1) In general.--Not later than 6 months after the date of 
     enactment of this Act, the Director, in consultation with the 
     interagency working group on inclusion in STEM, shall 
     recommend a uniform policy for Federal science agencies to 
     carry out a program of workshops that educate STEM department 
     chairs at institutions of higher education, senior managers 
     at Federal laboratories, and other federally funded 
     researchers about methods that minimize the effects of 
     implicit bias in the career advancement, including hiring, 
     tenure, promotion, and selection for any honor based in part 
     on the recipient's research record, of academic and Federal 
     STEM researchers.
       (2) Interagency coordination.--The Director shall, to the 
     extent practicable, ensure that workshops supported under 
     this subsection are coordinated across Federal science 
     agencies and jointly supported as appropriate.
       (3) Minimizing costs.--To the extent practicable, workshops 
     shall be held in conjunction with national or regional STEM 
     disciplinary meetings to minimize costs associated with 
     participant travel.
       (4) Priority fields for academic participants.--In 
     considering the participation of STEM department chairs and 
     other academic researchers, the Director shall prioritize 
     workshops for the broad fields of STEM in which the national 
     rate of representation of women among tenured or tenure-track 
     faculty or nonfaculty researchers at doctorate-granting 
     institutions of higher education is less than 25 percent, 
     according to the most recent data available from the National 
     Center for Science and Engineering Statistics.

               Subtitle B--Rural STEM Education Research

     SEC. 10521. FINDINGS.

       Congress finds the following:
       (1) The supply of STEM workers is not keeping pace with the 
     rapidly evolving needs of the public and private sector, 
     resulting in a deficit often referred to as a STEM skills 
     shortage.
       (2) According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the United 
     States will need one million additional STEM professionals 
     than it is on track to produce in the coming decade.
       (3) Many STEM occupations offer higher wages, more 
     opportunities for advancement, and a higher degree of job 
     security than non-STEM jobs.
       (4) The 60,000,000 individuals in the United States who 
     live in rural settings are significantly under-represented in 
     STEM.
       (5) According to the National Center for Education 
     Statistics, nine million students in the United States--
     nearly 20 percent of the total K-12 population--attend rural 
     schools, and for reasons ranging from teacher quality to 
     shortages of resources, these students often have fewer 
     opportunities for high-quality STEM learning than their peers 
     in the Nation's urban and suburban schools.
       (6) Rural areas represent one of the most promising, yet 
     underutilized, opportunities for STEM education to impact 
     workforce development and regional innovation, including 
     agriculture.
       (7) The study of agriculture, food, and natural resources 
     involves biology, engineering, physics, chemistry, math, 
     geology, computer science, and other scientific fields.
       (8) Employment in computer and information technology 
     occupations is projected to grow 11 percent from 2019 to 
     2029. To help meet this demand, it is important rural 
     students have the opportunity to acquire computing skills 
     through exposure to computer science learning in grades Pre-K 
     through 12 and in informal learning settings.
       (9) More than 293,000,000 individuals in the United States 
     use high-speed broadband to work, learn, access healthcare, 
     and operate their businesses, while 19,000,000 individuals in 
     the United States still lack access to high-speed broadband. 
     Rural areas are hardest hit, with over 26 percent of 
     individuals in rural areas in the United States lacking 
     access to high-speed broadband compared to 1.7 percent of 
     individuals in urban areas in the United States.

                    Subtitle C--MSI STEM Achievement

     SEC. 10531. FINDINGS.

       Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Evidence suggests that the supply of STEM workers is 
     not keeping pace with the rapidly evolving needs of the 
     public and private sector, resulting in a deficit often 
     referred to as a STEM skills shortage.
       (2) According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the United 
     States will need one million additional STEM professionals 
     than it is on track to produce in the coming decade.
       (3) STEM occupations offer higher wages, more opportunities 
     for advancement, and a higher degree of job security than 
     non-STEM occupations.
       (4) The composition of the STEM workforce does not reflect 
     the current or projected diversity of the Nation, with 
     Hispanics, African Americans, and other racial and ethnic 
     minorities, significantly underrepresented in the STEM 
     workforce compared to their presence in the workforce more 
     generally.
       (5) A stronger national commitment to increasing the 
     diversity of the STEM workforce is needed to help address the 
     STEM skills shortage.
       (6) According to a 2019 National Academies of Sciences, 
     Engineering, and Medicine report entitled ``Minority Serving 
     Institutions: America's Underutilized Resource for 
     Strengthening the STEM Workforce'', 2- and 4-year minority 
     serving institutions enroll nearly 30 percent of all 
     undergraduate students--a percentage that is expected to grow 
     in the coming years--in the United States higher education 
     system and play a critical role in providing important 
     pathways to STEM-related education, training, and careers for 
     students of color.
       (7) HBCUs, TCUs, and MSIs are highly successful at 
     educating underrepresented minority students in STEM fields 
     and can serve as best practice models for other colleges and 
     universities to further expand participation of 
     underrepresented minorities in the STEM workforce.
       (8) Increased investment in STEM infrastructure at HBCUs, 
     TCUs, and MSIs has the potential to increase these 
     institutions' ability to educate even more students in the 
     STEM disciplines.
       (9) With the demand for STEM skills exceeding the supply of 
     STEM graduates, success of HBCUs, TCUs, and MSIs in educating 
     and training science and engineering leaders is increasingly 
     important for United States economic growth and 
     competitiveness.

     initiatives carried out by Federal science agencies that are 
     targeted to HBCUs, TCUs, and MSIs or partnerships with HBCUs, 
     TCUs, and MSIs;
       (2) an assessment of Federal science agency outreach 
     activities to increase the participation and competitiveness 
     of HBCUs, TCUs, and MSIs in the funding programs and

           Subtitle D--Combating Sexual Harassment in Science

     SEC. 10541. FINDINGS.

       Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) According to the report issued by the National 
     Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine in 2018 
     entitled ``Sexual Harassment of Women: Climate, Culture, and 
     Consequences in Academic Sciences, Engineering, and 
     Medicine''--
       (A) sexual harassment is pervasive in institutions of 
     higher education;
       (B) the most common type of sexual harassment is gender 
     harassment, which includes verbal and nonverbal behaviors 
     that convey insulting, hostile, and degrading attitudes about 
     members of one gender;
       (C) 58 percent of individuals in the academic workplace 
     experience sexual harassment, the second highest rate when 
     compared to the military, the private sector, and Federal, 
     State, and local government;
       (D) women who are members of racial or ethnic minority 
     groups are more likely to experience sexual harassment and to 
     feel unsafe at work than White women, White men, or men who 
     are members of such groups;

[[Page H415]]

       (E) the training for each individual who has a doctor of 
     philosophy in the science, technology, engineering, and 
     mathematics fields is estimated to cost approximately 
     $500,000; and
       (F) attrition of an individual so trained results in a loss 
     of talent and money.
       (2) Sexual harassment undermines career advancement for 
     women.
       (3) According to a 2017 University of Illinois study, among 
     astronomers and planetary scientists, 18 percent of women who 
     are members of racial or ethnic minority groups and 12 
     percent of White women skipped professional events because 
     they did not feel safe attending.
       (4) Many women report leaving employment at institutions of 
     higher education due to sexual harassment.
       (5) Research shows the majority of individuals do not 
     formally report experiences of sexual harassment due to a 
     justified fear of retaliation or other negative professional 
     or personal consequences.
       (6) Reporting procedures with respect to such harassment 
     are inconsistent among Federal science agencies and have 
     varying degrees of accessibility.
       (7) There is not adequate communication among Federal 
     science agencies and between such agencies and grantees 
     regarding reports of sexual harassment, which has resulted in 
     harassers receiving Federal funding after moving to a 
     different institution.

       TITLE VI--MISCELLANEOUS SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY PROVISIONS

            Subtitle A--Supporting Early-Career Researchers

     SEC. 10601. FINDINGS.

       Congress finds the following:
       (1) The Nation's universities and industrial research labs 
     are facing unprecedented budget pressure as part of the 
     COVID-19 health crisis, resulting in considerably fewer 
     openings for research and teaching positions.
       (2) Emergency funding is needed to forestall the loss of 
     research talent likely to occur if early-career researchers 
     are forced to seek employment outside of research due to the 
     sharp economic decline caused by the COVID-19 health crisis.
       (3) The future of America's defense will rely on advanced 
     technologies to maintain its military superiority over its 
     rivals, including China. These technologies will require new 
     levels of scientific and engineering aptitude and 
     understanding. Early career researchers will play a critical 
     role in the development of these technologies, and the loss 
     of an entire generation of researchers due to the COVID-19 
     pandemic will be detrimental to the United States national 
     security.

     SEC. 30002. FINDINGS.

       Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The People's Republic of China (PRC) is leveraging its 
     political, diplomatic, economic, military, technological, and 
     ideological power to become a strategic, near-peer, global 
     competitor of the United States. The policies increasingly 
     pursued by the PRC in these domains are contrary to the 
     interests and values of the United States, its partners, and 
     much of the rest of the world.
       (2) A number of policies being pursued by the PRC--
       (A) threaten the future character of the international 
     order and are shaping the rules, norms, and institutions that 
     govern relations among states;
       (B) will put at risk the ability of the United States to 
     secure its national interests; and
       (C) will put at risk the future peace, prosperity, and 
     freedom of the international community in the coming decades.
       (3) After normalizing diplomatic relations with the PRC in 
     1979, the United States actively worked to advance the PRC's 
     economic and social development to ensure that it 
     participated in, and benefited from, the free and open 
     international order. The United States pursued these goals 
     and contributed to the welfare of the Chinese people by--
       (A) increasing the PRC's access to global capital markets;
       (B) promoting the PRC's accession to the World Trade 
     Organization;
       (C) providing development finance and technical assistance;
       (D) promoting research collaboration;
       (E) educating the PRC's top students;
       (F) permitting transfers of cutting-edge technologies and 
     scientific knowledge; and
       (G) providing intelligence and military assistance.
       (4) It is now clear that the PRC has chosen to pursue 
     state-led, mercantilist economic policies, an increasingly 
     authoritarian governance model at home through increased 
     restrictions on personal freedoms, and an aggressive and 
     assertive foreign policy. These policies frequently and 
     deliberately undermine United States interests and are 
     contrary to core United States values and the values of other 
     nations, both in the Indo-Pacific and beyond. In response to 
     this strategic decision of the CCP, the United States has 
     been compelled to reexamine and revise its strategy towards 
     the PRC and reanimate its defense of the international order.
       (5) The General Secretary of the CCP and the Chairman of 
     the People's Republic of China, Xi Jinping, has elevated the 
     ``Great Rejuvenation of the Chinese Nation'' as central to 
     the domestic and foreign policy of the PRC. His program 
     demands--
       (A) strong, centralized CCP leadership;
       (B) concentration of military power;
       (C) a dominant role for the CCP in the state and the 
     economy;
       (D) an aggressive foreign policy seeking control over 
     broadly asserted territorial claims; and
       (E) the denial of any universal values and individual 
     rights that are deemed to threaten the CCP.
       (6) The PRC views its Leninist model of governance as 
     superior to, and at odds with, the constitutional models of 
     the United States and other democracies. This approach to 
     governance is lauded by the CCP as essential to securing the 
     PRC's status as a global leader, and to shaping the future of 
     the world. In a 2013 speech, General Secretary Xi said, ``We 
     firmly believe that as socialism with Chinese characteristics 
     develops further . . . it is . . . inevitable that the 
     superiority of our socialist system will be increasingly 
     apparent . . . [and] our country's road of development will 
     have increasingly greater influence on the world.''.
       (7) The PRC's objectives are to first establish regional 
     hegemony over the Indo-Pacific and then to use that dominant 
     position to propel the PRC to become the ``leading world 
     power'', shaping an international order that is conducive to 
     its interests. Achieving these objectives requires turning 
     the PRC into a wealthy nation under strict CCP rule by using 
     a strong military and advanced technological capability to 
     pursue the PRC's objectives, regardless of other countries' 
     interests.
       (8) The PRC is reshaping the current international order, 
     which is built upon the rule of law and free and open ideals 
     and principles, by conducting global information and 
     influence operations, seeking to redefine international laws 
     and norms to align with the objectives of the CCP, rejecting 
     the legitimacy of internationally recognized human rights, 
     and seeking to co-opt the leadership and agenda of 
     multinational organizations for the benefit of the PRC and 
     other authoritarian regimes at the expense of the interests 
     of the United States and the international community.
       (9) The PRC is encouraging other countries to follow its 
     model of development and governance. During the 19th Party 
     Congress in 2017, General Secretary Xi said that the PRC 
     could serve as a model of development for other countries by 
     utilizing ``Chinese wisdom'' and a ``Chinese approach to 
     solving problems''.
       (10) The PRC is promoting its governance model and 
     attempting to weaken other models of governance by--
       (A) undermining democratic institutions;
       (B) subverting financial institutions;
       (C) coercing businesses to accommodate the policies of the 
     PRC; and
       (D) using disinformation to disguise the nature of the 
     actions described in subparagraphs (A) through (C).
       (11) The PRC is progressing toward becoming the global 
     leader in science and technology. In May 2018, General 
     Secretary Xi said that for the PRC to reach ``prosperity and 
     rejuvenation'', it needs to ``endeavor to be a major world 
     center for science and innovation''. The PRC has invested the 
     equivalent of billions of dollars into education and research 
     and development and established joint scientific research 
     centers and science universities.
       (12) The PRC's drive to become a ``manufacturing and 
     technological superpower'' and to promote ``innovation with 
     Chinese characteristics'' is coming at the expense of human 
     rights and longstanding international rules and norms with 
     respect to economic competition, and presents a challenge to 
     United States national security and the security of allies 
     and like-minded countries. In particular, the PRC advances 
     its illiberal political and social policies through mass 
     surveillance, social credit systems, and a significant role 
     of the state in internet governance. Through these means, the 
     PRC increases direct and indirect government control over its 
     citizens' everyday lives. Its national strategy of ``civil-
     military fusion'' mandates that civil and commercial 
     research, which increasingly drives global innovation, is 
     leveraged to develop new military capabilities.
       (13) The PRC is using legal and illegal means to achieve 
     its objective of becoming a manufacturing and technological 
     superpower. The PRC uses state-directed industrial policies 
     in anticompetitive ways to ensure the dominance of PRC 
     companies. The CCP engages in and encourages actions that 
     actively undermine a free and open international market, such 
     as intellectual property theft, forced technology transfers, 
     regulatory and financial subsidies, and mandatory CCP access 
     to proprietary data as part of business and commercial 
     agreements between Chinese and foreign companies.
       (14) The policies referred to in paragraph (13) are 
     designed to freeze United States and other foreign firms out 
     of the PRC market, while eroding competition in other 
     important markets. The heavy subsidization of Chinese 
     companies includes potential violation of its World Trade 
     Organization commitments. In May 2018, General Secretary Xi 
     said that the PRC aims to keep the ``initiatives of 
     innovation and development security . . . in [China's] own 
     hands''.
       (15) The PRC is advancing its global objectives through a 
     variety of avenues, including its signature initiative, the 
     Belt and Road Initiative (referred to in this subsection as 
     ``BRI''), which is enshrined in the Chinese Constitution and 
     includes the Digital Silk Road and Health Silk Road. The PRC 
     describes BRI as a straightforward and wholly beneficial plan 
     for all countries. Eventually, it seeks to create a web of 
     economic relations with the PRC at its center, making it the 
     most concrete geographical representation of the PRC's global 
     ambitions. BRI increases the economic influence of state-
     owned PRC firms in global markets, enhances the PRC's 
     political leverage with government leaders around the world, 
     and provides greater access to strategic nodes such as ports 
     and railways. Through BRI, the PRC seeks political deference 
     through economic dependence.
       (16) The PRC is executing a plan to establish regional 
     hegemony over the Indo-Pacific and

[[Page H446]]

     displace the United States from the region. As a Pacific 
     power, the United States has built and supported enduring 
     alliances and economic partnerships that secure peace and 
     prosperity and promote the rule of law and political 
     pluralism in a free and open Indo-Pacific. In contrast, the 
     PRC uses economic and military coercion in the region to 
     secure its own interests.
       (17) The PRC's military strategy seeks to keep the United 
     States military from operating in the Western Pacific and 
     erodes United States security guarantees.
       (18) The PRC is aggressively pursuing exclusive control of 
     critical land routes, sea lanes, and air space in the Indo-
     Pacific in the hopes of eventually exercising greater 
     influence beyond the region. This includes lanes crucial to 
     commercial activity, energy exploration, transport, and the 
     exercise of security operations in areas permitted under 
     international law.
       (19) The PRC seeks so-called ``reunification'' with Taiwan 
     through whatever means may ultimately be required. The CCP's 
     insistence that so-called ``reunification'' is Taiwan's only 
     option makes this goal inherently coercive. In January 2019, 
     General Secretary Xi stated that the PRC ``make[s] no promise 
     to renounce the use of force and reserve[s] the option of 
     taking all necessary means''. Taiwan's embodiment of 
     democratic values and economic liberalism challenges General 
     Secretary Xi's goal of achieving national rejuvenation. The 
     PRC plans to exploit Taiwan's dominant strategic position in 
     the First Island Chain and to project power into the Second 
     Island Chain and beyond.
       (20) In the South China Sea, the PRC has executed an 
     illegal island-building campaign that threatens freedom of 
     navigation and the free-flow of commerce, damages the 
     environment, bolsters the PLA power projection capabilities, 
     and coerces and intimidates other regional claimants in an 
     effort to advance its unlawful claims and control the waters 
     around neighboring countries. Despite General Secretary Xi's 
     September 2015 speech, in which he said the PRC was not 
     militarizing the South China Sea, during the 2017 19th Party 
     Congress, General Secretary Xi announced that ``construction 
     on islands and reefs in the South China Sea have seen steady 
     progress''.
       (21) The PRC is rapidly modernizing the PLA to attain a 
     level of capacity and capability superior to the United 
     States in terms of equipment and conduct of modern military 
     operations by shifting its military doctrine from having a 
     force ``adequate [for] China's defensive needs'' to having a 
     force ``commensurate with China's international status''. 
     Ultimately, this transformation could enable China to impose 
     its will in the Indo-Pacific region through the threat of 
     military force. In 2017, General Secretary Xi established the 
     following developmental benchmarks for the advancement of the 
     PLA:
       (A) A mechanized force with increased informatized and 
     strategic capabilities by 2020.
       (B) The complete modernization of China's national defense 
     by 2035.
       (C) The full transformation of the PLA into a world-class 
     force by 2050.
       (22) The PRC's strategy and supporting policies described 
     in this subsection undermine United States interests, such 
     as--
       (A) upholding a free and open international order;
       (B) maintaining the integrity of international institutions 
     with liberal norms and values;
       (C) preserving a favorable balance of power in the Indo-
     Pacific;
       (D) ensuring the defense of its allies;
       (E) preserving open sea and air lanes;
       (F) fostering the free flow of commerce through open and 
     transparent markets; and
       (G) promoting individual freedom and human rights.
       (23) The global COVID-19 pandemic has intensified and 
     accelerated these trends in the PRC's behavior and therefore 
     increased the need for United States global leadership and a 
     competitive posture. The PRC has capitalized on the world's 
     focus on the COVID-19 pandemic by--
       (A) moving rapidly to undermine Hong Kong's autonomy, 
     including imposing a so-called ``national security law'' on 
     Hong Kong;
       (B) aggressively imposing its will in the East and South 
     China Seas;
       (C) increasing its territorial aggression in South Asia, 
     including against India; and
       (D) engaging in a widespread and government-directed 
     disinformation campaign to obscure the PRC Government's 
     efforts to cover up the seriousness of COVID-19, sow 
     confusion about the origination of the outbreak, and 
     discredit the United States, its allies, and global health 
     efforts.
       (24) The CCP's disinformation campaign referred to in 
     paragraph (23)(D) has included--
       (A) concerted efforts, in the early days of the pandemic, 
     to downplay the nature and scope of the outbreak in Wuhan in 
     the PRC, as well as cases of person-to-person transmission;
       (B) claims that the virus originated in United States 
     biological defense research at Fort Detrick, Maryland;
       (C) Chinese state media reports insinuating a possible link 
     between the virus and other United States biological 
     facilities; and
       (D) efforts to block access to qualified international 
     infectious disease experts who might contradict the CCP's 
     narrative.
       (25) In response to the PRC's strategy and policies, the 
     United States must adopt a policy of strategic competition 
     with the PRC to protect and promote our vital interests and 
     values.
       (26) The United States policy of strategic competition with 
     respect to the People's Republic of China is part of a 
     broader strategic approach to the Indo-Pacific and the world 
     that aligns with cooperation with United States allies and 
     partners to advance shared values and interests and to 
     preserve and enhance a free, open, democratic, inclusive, 
     rules-based, stable, and diverse region.
       (27) The Asia Reassurance Initiative Act of 2018 (Public 
     Law 115-409) contributed to a comprehensive framework for 
     promoting United State security interests, economic 
     interests, and values in the Indo-Pacific region, investing 
     $7,500,000,000 over 5 years--
       (A) to support greater security and defense cooperation 
     between the United States and allies and partners in the 
     Indo-Pacific region;
       (B) to advance democracy and the protection and promotion 
     of human rights in the Indo-Pacific region;
       (C) to enhance cybersecurity cooperation between the United 
     States and partners in the Indo-Pacific;
       (D) to deepen people-to-people engagement through programs 
     such as the Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative and the 
     ASEAN Youth Volunteers program; and
       (E) to enhance energy cooperation and energy security in 
     the Indo-Pacific region.

     SEC. 30003. STATEMENT OF POLICY.

       (a) Objectives.--It is the policy of the United States to 
     pursue the following objectives:
       (1) The United States global leadership role is sustained 
     and its political system and major foundations of national

       Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The United States played a leadership role in 
     constructing the architecture, rules, and norms governing the

     SEC. 30122. REPORT ON ENTRENCHING AMERICAN ECONOMIC DIPLOMACY 
                   IN THE INDO-PACIFIC.

       (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     United States national interests and the primacy of United 
     States power in the Indo-Pacific are intimately tied to the 
     following economic objectives:
       (1) Confirming American leadership and participation in 
     global regional economic organizations and fora, including 
     the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) and the World 
     Trade Organization (WTO).

     SEC. 30123. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE NEED TO BOLSTER AMERICAN 
                   LEADERSHIP IN THE ASIA PACIFIC ECONOMIC 
                   COOPERATION.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the United States has benefitted from the regional 
     economic integration agenda of the Asia Pacific Economic 
     Cooperation (APEC) forum since its inception in 1989;
       (2) APEC is a hub of commerce for 21 member economies that, 
     as of 2018, accounted for 60 percent of global GDP and 48 
     percent of global trade;
       (3) APEC has contributed to the economic growth in the 
     region and enhanced access to global value chains, while 
     raising the profile of critical topics such as fair trade, 
     sustainability, gender parity, and inclusive growth;
       (4) it is in the United States interest to engage and lead 
     at APEC to push for an open and inclusive regional economy 
     that benefits United States workers, consumers, and 
     businesses and better integrates the United States economy 
     with others in the region;
       (5) when the United States last hosted APEC in 2011, it was 
     able to promote United States interests, while reassuring 
     allies and partners about its strong commitment to the region 
     in the economic arena;
       (6) today, APEC can again be used as a forum to make 
     progress on several United States priorities, that are shared 
     by United States allies and partners, including--
       (A) making regional commerce more inclusive;
       (B) fostering innovation and digitization; and
       (C) addressing climate change and environmental protection;
       (7) hosting APEC would provide a tremendous opportunity to 
     leverage American leadership to shape the regional economic 
     agenda;
       (8) hosting APEC would allow the United States to advance 
     several of its own priorities in the region, including to--
       (A) expand the participation of APEC stakeholders to 
     include labor groups, environmental advocates, and other part 
     of civil society;
       (B) upgrade APEC's work to empower and promote small and 
     medium enterprises;
       (C) spotlight best practices and plans to upgrade skills 
     for the next-generation of technology jobs;
       (D) advance a climate and sustainable trade and development 
     agenda with a focus on green technologies, infrastructure and 
     finance; and
       (E) advance work on digital issues; and
       (9) with no host confirmed for 2023, the United States 
     should immediately announce its interest to host APEC in 2023 
     and work with the APEC Secretariat and like-minded APEC 
     members to build support.

       (2) A description of the role that the Secretary of State, 
     acting through the Under Secretary of State for Public 
     Diplomacy and Public Affairs, will play in the imposition of 
     reputational costs on the PRC for conducting economic 
     coercion.
       (3) Role clarity for the Secretary of State, the 
     Administrator of the United States Agency for International 
     Development, the Secretary of Defense, the head of each 
     element of the intelligence community (as such term is 
     defined by section 3 of the National Security Act of 1947 (50 
     U.S.C. 3003)), the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary 
     of Commerce, the United States Trade Representative, and the 
     United States International Development Finance Corporation 
     in implementing such strategy.
       (b) Update.--Not later than 2 years after the date of the 
     submission of the strategy under subsection (a), and every 2 
     years thereafter for 8 years, the President shall submit to

     Commerce, Science, and Transportation, the Committee on

     SEC. 30125. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY ISSUES.

       (a) Leadership in International Standards Setting.--It is 
     the sense of Congress that the United States must lead in 
     international bodies that set the governance norms and rules 
     for critical digitally enabled technologies in order to 
     ensure that these technologies operate within a free, secure, 
     interoperable, and stable digital domain.
       (b) Countering Digital Authoritarianism.--It is the sense 
     of Congress that the United States, along with allies and 
     partners, should lead an international effort to combat the 
     expanding use of information and communications technology 
     products and services to surveil, repress, and manipulate 
     populations (also known as ``digital authoritarianism'').
       (c) Freedom of Information in the Digital Age.--It is the 
     sense of Congress that the United States should lead a global 
     effort to ensure that freedom of information, including the 
     ability to safely consume or publish information without fear 
     of undue reprisals, is maintained as the digital domain 
     becomes an increasingly integral mechanism for communication.
       (d) Efforts to Ensure Technological Development Does Not 
     Threaten Democratic Governance or Human Rights.--It is the 
     sense of Congress that the United States should lead a global 
     effort to develop and adopt a set of common principles and 
     standards for critical technologies to ensure that the use of 
     such technologies cannot be abused by malign actors, whether 
     they are governments or other entities, and that they do not 
     threaten democratic governance or human rights.

     SEC. 30126. DIGITAL DIALOGUE AND COOPERATION.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) as the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated United States 
     dependence on digital tools, international rules around 
     digital rules have remained largely piecemeal; and
       (2) the People's Republic of China is operating under and 
     advancing a set of digital rules that are contrary to United 
     States values and interests, and those of United States 
     allies and partners.

     SEC. 30127. DIGITAL CONNECTIVITY AND CYBERSECURITY 
                   PARTNERSHIP.

       (a) Digital Connectivity and Cybersecurity Partnership.--
     The President is authorized to establish a program, to be 
     known as the ``Digital Connectivity and Cybersecurity 
     Partnership'' to help foreign countries--
       (1) expand and increase secure Internet access and digital 
     infrastructure;

     and predatory behavior throughout communications and 
     cybersecurity policy and implementation;

       (4) bolster the role of civil society in informing ICT 
     policy and regulations;
       (5) promote exports of United States ICT goods and services 
     and increase United States company market share in target 
     markets;

     and supply chain services to be less reliant on imports from 
     the People's Republic of China;

     and promote best practices for a national approach to 
     cybersecurity; and

     and United States allies and partners, as appropriate.
       (b) Implementation Plan.--Not later than 180 days after the 
     date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State and 
     the Administrator of the United States Agency for

     Administrator of the United States Agency for International 
     Development shall consult with--

     Oversight and Reform, and the Permanent Select Committee on 
     Intelligence of the House of Representatives;
       (3) the Committee on Finance, the Committee on Homeland 
     Security and Governmental Affairs, and the Select Committee

     SEC. 30128. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON IDEOLOGICAL COMPETITION.

       It is the sense of Congress that National Security Advisor 
     Jake Sullivan correctly observed that the United States and 
     likeminded democracies are in an ideological competition with 
     the People's Republic of China, under the direction and 
     control of the Chinese Communist Party, when he stated, 
     ``China is essentially making the case that the Chinese model 
     is better than the American model. . . This is not any longer 
     some kind of implied contrast. It is an explicit statement 
     that there is an alternative model to the democratic market 
     economy model that the United States has been advancing over 
     the course of decades.''.

             Subtitle D--Financial Diplomacy and Leadership

     SEC. 30131. FINDINGS ON CHINESE FINANCIAL INDUSTRIAL POLICY.

       Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The People's Republic of China operates a system of 
     state-owned financial institutions including retail banks, 
     investment banks, asset managers, and insurers which are 
     given favorable treatment under Chinese law while foreign 
     financial institutions have strict restrictions on their 
     ability to operate in the PRC.
       (2) In order to join the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 
     2001, the PRC Government committed to opening the credit card 
     payment business to foreign firms by 2006.
       (3) The PRC continues to maintain aggressive capital 
     controls, limiting access to the Chinese market to foreign 
     investors while hamstringing its own citizens ability to 
     control their money.
       (4) On November 5, 2018, Chinese President Xi Jinping 
     announced that the PRC would launch a technology innovation 
     stock exchange. The Shanghai Stock Exchange STAR Market 
     launched on July 22, 2019.
       (5) On October 24, 2020, Chinese billionaire Jack Ma 
     referred to ``pawnshop mentality'' of state-owned banks. 
     Shortly thereafter, the initial public offering of his firm 
     Ant Financial was canceled by Chinese regulators.
       (6) The PRC Government is pioneering the use of a fully 
     digitized yuan, which is set to be the world's first central 
     bank backed digital currency, and the People's Bank of China 
     and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority have already begun 
     testing the cross-border functionality of the digital 
     currency.

                   STRENGTH FOR GLOBAL LEADERSHIP.

       (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the dominance of the dollar as the global reserve 
     currency has yielded significant benefits to the United 
     States and the American people by allowing the United States 
     to maintain economic independence, better control its 
     monetary policy, and finance government outlays;
       (2) American global leadership has benefited from the 
     United States monetary stability, creditworthiness, deep 
     capital markets, and financial technology innovations;
       (3) effective diplomacy and safeguarding of American 
     national security rely on the United States role as the 
     global financial leader, hub of global trade, and source of 
     economic opportunity;
       (4) by cracking down on dissent in the key financial center 
     of Hong Kong, driving the creation of a technology focused 
     stock exchange, and pushing forward a Central Bank digital 
     currency, the People's Republic of China is attempting to 
     become the leading hub of finance in the world; and
       (5) the United States must maintain its position as a 
     global financial leader to continue its broader global 
     leadership role around the world.
       (b) Report.--Not later than 180 days after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State, in 
     coordination with the Secretary of the Treasury, shall submit

     policy that derive from the United States financial 
     leadership and the dollar's status as the world's global 
     reserve currency;
       (2) describes the actions taken by the People's Republic of 
     China that could cement China's role as the world's leading 
     financial center;
       (3) analyzes the possible impact on American national 
     security and foreign policy were the yuan to supplant the 
     dollar as the world's leading reserve currency;
       (4) outlines how the United States can work diplomatically 
     with allies, partners, and other nations to preserve a 
     financial system that is free, open, and fair; and
       (5) identifies steps the United States can take to preserve 
     its status as the world's leading financial center and 
     maintain the dollar's position as the global reserve 
     currency.
       (c) Appropriate Committees of Congress Defined.--In this 
     section, the term ``appropriate committees of Congress'' 
     means--
       (1) the Committee on Foreign Affairs, the Committee on 
     Financial Services, the Committee on Ways and Means, and the

           TITLE II--INVESTING IN ALLIANCES AND PARTNERSHIPS

              Subtitle A--Strategic and Diplomatic Matters

     SEC. 30201. APPROPRIATE COMMITTEES OF CONGRESS DEFINED.

       In this subtitle, the term ``appropriate committees of 
     Congress'' means--
       (1) the Committee on Foreign Relations, the Committee on 
     Armed Services, the Committee on Appropriations, and the 
     Select Committee on Intelligence of the Senate; and
       (2) the Committee on Foreign Affairs, the Committee on 
     Armed Services, the Committee on Appropriations, and the 
     Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence of the House of 
     Representatives.

     SEC. 30202. UNITED STATES COMMITMENT AND SUPPORT FOR ALLIES 
                   AND PARTNERS IN THE INDO-PACIFIC.

       (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the United States treaty alliances in the Indo-Pacific 
     provide a unique strategic advantage to the United States and 
     are among the Nation's most precious assets, enabling the 
     United States to advance its vital national interests, defend 
     its territory, establish enduring cooperation with allies 
     while seeking to establish new partnerships, prevent the 
     domination of the Indo-Pacific and its surrounding maritime 
     and air lanes by a hostile power or powers, and deter 
     potential aggressors;
       (2) the Governments of the United States, Japan, South 
     Korea, Australia, the Philippines, and Thailand are critical 
     allies in advancing a free and open order in the Indo-Pacific 
     region and tackling challenges with unity of purpose, and 
     have collaborated to advance specific efforts of shared 
     interest in areas such as defense and security, 
     infrastructure connectivity, and fundamental freedoms;
       (3) the United States greatly values other partnerships in 
     the Indo-Pacific region, including with India, Singapore, 
     Indonesia, Taiwan, New Zealand, and Vietnam, as well as its 
     trilateral and quadrilateral dialogues, and regional 
     architecture such as the Association of Southeast Asian 
     Nations (ASEAN), and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, 
     which are essential to further shared interests;
       (4) the security environment in the Indo-Pacific demands 
     consistent United States and allied commitment to 
     strengthening and advancing alliances so that they are 
     postured to meet these challenges, and will require sustained 
     political will, concrete partnerships, economic, commercial, 
     technological, and security cooperation, consistent and 
     tangible commitments, high-level and extensive consultations 
     on matters of mutual interest, mutual and shared cooperation 
     in the acquisition of key capabilities important to allied 
     defenses, and unified mutual support in the face of 
     political, economic, or military coercion;
       (5) fissures in the United States alliance relationships 
     and partnerships benefit United States adversaries and weaken 
     the collective ability to advance shared interests;
       (6) the United States must work with allies to prioritize 
     human rights throughout the Indo-Pacific region;
       (7) as the report released in August 2020 by the Expert 
     Group of the International Military Council on Climate and 
     Security (IMCCS), entitled ``Climate and Security in the 
     Indo-Asia Pacific'' noted, the Indo-Pacific region is one of 
     the regions most vulnerable to climate impacts, and as former 
     Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Installations and 
     Environment Sherri Goodman, Secretary General of IMCCS, 
     noted, climate shocks act as a threat multiplier in the Indo-
     Pacific region, increasing humanitarian response costs and 
     impacting security throughout the region as sea levels rise, 
     fishing patterns shift, food insecurity rises, and storms 
     grow stronger and more frequent;
       (8) the United State should continue to engage on and 
     deepen cooperation with allies and partners of the United 
     States in the Indo-Pacific region, as laid out in the Asia 
     Reassurance Initiative Act (Public Law 115-409), in the areas 
     of--
       (A) forecasting environmental challenges;
       (B) assisting with transnational cooperation on sustainable 
     uses of forest and water resources with the goal of 
     preserving biodiversity and access to safe drinking water;
       (C) fisheries and marine resource conservation; and
       (D) meeting environmental challenges and developing 
     resilience;

[[Page H452]]

       (9) the Secretary of State, in coordination with the 
     Secretary of Defense and the Administrator of the United 
     States Agency for International Development, should 
     facilitate a robust interagency Indo-Pacific climate 
     resiliency and adaptation strategy focusing on internal and 
     external actions needed--
       (A) to facilitate regional early recovery, risk reduction, 
     and resilience to weather-related impacts on strategic 
     interests of the United States and partners and allies of the 
     United States in the region; and
       (B) to address humanitarian and food security impacts of 
     weather-related changes in the region; and
       (10) ASEAN centrality and ASEAN-led mechanisms remain 
     essential to the evolving institutional architecture of the 
     Indo-Pacific region.
       (b) Statement of Policy.--It shall be the policy of the 
     United States--
       (1) to deepen diplomatic, economic, and security 
     cooperation with and among United States allies in the Indo-
     Pacific, as appropriate, including through diplomatic 
     engagement, regional development, energy security and 
     development, scientific and health partnerships, educational 
     and cultural exchanges, intelligence-sharing, and other 
     diplomatic and defense-related initiatives;
       (2) to uphold the United States multilateral and bilateral 
     treaty obligations, including--
       (A) defending Japan consistent with the Treaty of Mutual 
     Cooperation and Security Between the United States of America 
     and Japan, done at Washington, January 19, 1960, and all 
     related and subsequent bilateral security agreements and 
     arrangements concluded on or before the date of enactment of 
     this Act;
       (B) defending the Republic of Korea consistent with the 
     Mutual Defense Treaty Between the United States and the 
     Republic of Korea, done at Washington, October 1, 1953, and 
     all related and subsequent bilateral security agreements and 
     arrangements concluded on or before the date of enactment of 
     this Act;
       (C) defending the Philippines consistent with article IV of 
     the Mutual Defense Treaty Between the United States and the 
     Republic of the Philippines, done at Washington, August 30, 
     1951, and all related and subsequent bilateral security 
     agreements and arrangements concluded on or before the date 
     of enactment of this Act;
       (D) defending Thailand consistent with the Southeast Asia 
     Collective Defense Treaty (``Manila Pact''), done at Manila, 
     September 8, 1954, understanding thereto the Thanat-Rusk 
     communique of 1962, and all related and subsequent bilateral 
     security agreements and arrangements concluded on or before 
     the date of enactment of this Act; and
       (E) defending Australia consistent with the Security Treaty 
     Between Australia and the United States of America, done at 
     San Francisco, September 1, 1951, and all related and 
     subsequent bilateral security agreements and arrangements 
     concluded on or before the date of enactment of this Act;
       (3) to strengthen and deepen the United States' bilateral 
     and regional partnerships, including with India, Taiwan, 
     ASEAN, and New Zealand;
       (4) to cooperate with allies and partners to promote human 
     rights across the Indo-Pacific region bilaterally and through 
     regional and multilateral fora and pacts;
       (5) to strengthen and advance diplomatic, economic, and 
     security cooperation with regional partners, such as Taiwan, 
     Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, and India; and
       (6) to collaborate and cooperate on the sustainable 
     development of the Mekong River Basin, including by providing 
     support for environmental conservation and protection 
     initiatives in the Mekong sub-region and through assistance 
     to Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam, whose governments 
     comprise the Mekong River Commission (MRC). United States 
     efforts should focus on increasing MRC member countries' 
     capacity in the sustainable conservation and management of 
     natural resources.

     SEC. 30203. BOOSTING QUAD COOPERATION.

       (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) as a Pacific power, the United States should continue 
     to strengthen its cooperation with Australia, India, and 
     Japan, (commonly referred to as the Quadrilateral Security 
     Dialogue or ``Quad'') to enhance and implement a shared 
     vision to meet regional challenges and to promote a free, 
     open, inclusive, resilient, and healthy Indo-Pacific, 
     characterized by respect for democratic norms, rule of law, 
     and market-driven economic growth, and that is free from 
     undue influence and coercion;
       (2) the United States should expand dialogue and 
     cooperation through the Quad with a range of partners to 
     support the rule of law, freedom of navigation and 
     overflight, peaceful resolution of disputes, democratic 
     values, and territorial integrity, and to uphold peace and 
     prosperity and strengthen democratic resilience in the Indo-
     Pacific;
       (3) the recent pledge from the first-ever Quad leaders 
     meeting on March 12, 2021, to respond to the economic and 
     health impacts of COVID-19, including expanding safe, 
     affordable, and effective vaccine production and equitable 
     access, and to address shared challenges, including in 
     cyberspace, critical technologies, counterterrorism, quality 
     infrastructure investment, and humanitarian assistance and 
     disaster relief, as well as maritime domains, further 
     advances the important cooperation among Quad nations that is 
     so critical to the Indo-Pacific region;
       (4) building upon their announced commitment to finance 
     1,000,000,000 or more COVID-19 vaccines by the end of 2022 
     for use in the Indo-Pacific region, the United States 
     International Development Finance Corporation, the Japan 
     International Cooperation Agency, and the Japan Bank for 
     International Cooperation, including through partnerships 
     other multilateral development banks, should also venture to 
     finance development and infrastructure projects in the Indo-
     Pacific region that are competitive, transparent, and 
     sustainable;
       (5) the United States should participate in the Resilient 
     Supply Chain Initiative launched by Australia, Japan, and 
     India in 2020, along with similar initiatives that relocate 
     supply chains in the health, economic, and national security 
     sectors to the United States, its Quad partners, and other 
     like-minded countries; and
       (6) the formation of a Quad Intra-Parliamentary Working 
     Group could--
       (A) sustain and deepen engagement between senior officials 
     of the Quad countries on a full spectrum of issues; and
       (B) be modeled on the successful and long-standing 
     bilateral intra-parliamentary groups between the United

     of the Senate) a strategy for bolstering engagement and

     SEC. 30209. TAIWAN DIPLOMATIC REVIEW.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:

[[Page H455]]

       (1) Pursuant to the Taiwan Relations Act (22 U.S.C. 
     3301(b)(1)), it is the policy of the United States to 
     ``promote extensive, close, and friendly commercial, 
     cultural, and other relations between the people of the 
     United States and the people of Taiwan''.
       (2) In May 2019, the Taiwanese counterpart to the American 
     Institute in Taiwan, the Coordination Council for North 
     American Affairs, was renamed the ``Taiwan Council for U.S. 
     Affairs''.
       (3) It is the policy of the United States to refer to 
     Taiwan as ``Taiwan'', not ``Taipei'' or ``Chinese Taipei''.
       (4) The Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office 
     is inaptly named as it works to cultivate the extensive, 
     close, and friendly commercial, cultural, and other relations 
     between the people of the United States and the people, 
     organizations, and enterprises of Taiwan, not merely those in 
     Taipei.
       (b) Negotiations to Rename TECRO.--Reflective of the 
     substantively deepening ties between Taiwan and the United 
     States, the Secretary of State shall seek to enter into 
     negotiations with appropriate officials of the Taipei 
     Economic and Cultural Representative Office in the United 
     States with the objective of renaming its office in 
     Washington, D.C., the Taiwan Representative Office in the 
     United States, and its subsidiary offices in the United 
     States, accordingly.

     SEC. 30210. TAIWAN PEACE AND STABILITY ACT.

       (a) Short Title.--This section may be cited as the ``Taiwan 
     Peace and Stability Act''.
       (b) Definitions.--In this section:
       (1) Appropriate congressional committees.--The term 
     ``appropriate congressional committees'' means--
       (A) the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of 
     Representatives; and
       (B) the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate.
       (2) International organization.--The term ``international 
     organization'' includes United Nations funds, programs, 
     specialized agencies, entities, and bodies, as well as other 
     organizations outside of the United Nations system that the 
     Secretary of State determines appropriate, in consultation 
     with other relevant Federal departments and agencies.
       (3) One-china principle.--The term ``One-China Principle'' 
     means only the PRC's policy toward Taiwan.
       (4) Civil society organizations.--The term ``civil society 
     organizations'' means international civil society 
     organizations that are critical to maintaining Taiwan's 
     international space and enabling Taiwan to play a positive 
     and constructive role in the global community.
       (5) Potential pla campaigns.--The term ``potential PLA 
     campaigns'' means--
       (A) a naval blockade of Taiwan;
       (B) an amphibious assault and ground invasion of Taiwan, 
     especially such invasion designed to accomplish a fiat 
     accompli before intervention is possible; or
       (C) a seizure of one or more of Taiwan's outlying islands.
       (c) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The United States has consistently sought to advance 
     peace and stability in East Asia as a central element of 
     United States foreign policy toward the region.
       (2) The Government of the People's Republic of China (PRC), 
     especially since the election of Tsai Ing-Wen in 2016, has 
     conducted a coordinated campaign to weaken Taiwan 
     diplomatically, economically, and militarily in a manner that 
     threatens to erode United States policy and create a fait 
     accompli on questions surrounding Taiwan's future.
       (3) In order to ensure the longevity of United States 
     policy and preserve the ability of the people of Taiwan to 
     determine their future independently, it is necessary to 
     reinforce Taiwan's diplomatic, economic, and physical space.
       (4) Taiwan has provided monetary, humanitarian, and medical 
     assistance to combat diseases such as AIDS, tuberculosis, 
     Ebola, and dengue fever in countries around the world. During 
     the COVID-19 pandemic, Taiwan donated millions of pieces of 
     personal protective equipment and COVID-19 tests to countries 
     in need.
       (5) Since 2016, the Gambia, Sao Tome and Principe, Panama, 
     the Dominican Republic, Burkina Faso, El Salvador, the 
     Solomon Islands, and Kiribati have severed diplomatic 
     relations with Taiwan in favor of diplomatic relations with 
     China.
       (6) Taiwan was invited to participate in the World Health 
     Assembly (WHA), the decision-making body of the World Health 
     Organization, as an observer annually between 2009 and 2016. 
     Since the 2016 election of President Tsai, the PRC has 
     increasingly resisted Taiwan's participation in the WHA. 
     Taiwan was not invited to attend the WHA in 2017, 2018, 2019, 
     2020, or 2021.
       (7) The Taipei Flight Information Region reportedly served 
     1,750,000 flights and 68,900,000 passengers in 2018 and is 
     home to Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, the 11th 
     busiest airport in the world. Taiwan has been excluded from 
     participating at the International Civil Aviation 
     Organization since 2013.
       (8) United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2758 (1971) 
     does not address the issue of representation of Taiwan and 
     its people at the United Nations, nor does it give the PRC 
     the right to represent the people on Taiwan.
       (d) Statement of Policy.--It is the policy of the United 
     States to--
       (1) maintain the position that peace and stability in the 
     Western Pacific are in the political, security, and economic 
     interests of the United States, and are matters of 
     international concern; and
       (2) work with allies and partners to promote peace and 
     stability in the Indo-Pacific and deter military acts or 
     other forms of coercive behavior that would undermine 
     regional stability.
       (e) Sense of Congress on Taiwan's Meaningful Participation 
     in the International Community.--It is the sense of Congress 
     that--
       (1) Taiwan is free, democratic, and prosperous, is home to 
     23,500,000 people, and is an important contributor to the 
     global community;
       (2) multiple United States Government Administrations have 
     taken important steps to advance Taiwan's meaningful 
     participation in international organizations and to enhance 
     cooperation with Taiwan to provide global public goods, 
     including through development assistance, humanitarian 
     assistance, and disaster relief in trilateral and 
     multilateral fora;
       (3) nonetheless, significant structural, policy, and legal 
     barriers remain to advancing Taiwan's meaningful 
     participation in the international community; and
       (4) efforts to share Taiwan's expertise with other parts of 
     the global community could be further enhanced through a 
     systematic approach, along with greater attention from 
     Congress and the American public to such efforts.

     implementing partners, have a comparative advantage in 
     providing assistance; and

     events relevant departments and agencies in Taiwan, through 
     the Global Cooperation and Training Framework and other 
     forums, into in-person, enduring forms of development 
     cooperation.

     financial, or administrative barriers to expanding 
     cooperation in trilateral or multilateral development,

     Relations With Taiwan.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that--
       (1) expanding United States economic relations with Taiwan 
     has benefited the people of both the United States and 
     Taiwan; and

     deepen, and where possible expand, economic ties between 
     Taiwan and the United States.

       (1) PRC attempts to intimidate Taiwan, including through 
     high rates of PRC sorties into air space near Taiwan, and PRC 
     amphibious assault exercises near Taiwan, jeopardizes the 
     long-standing United States position that differences in 
     cross-Strait relations must be resolved peacefully;
       (2) given the potential for a cross-Strait conflict to be 
     highly destructive and destabilizing, any increase in the 
     risk of conflict demands attention and obligates leaders to 
     reinforce deterrence, as the most viable means to prevent 
     war;
       (3) Taiwan should continue to implement its asymmetric 
     defense strategy, including investing in cost-effective and 
     resilient capabilities, while also strengthening recruitment 
     and training of its reserve and civil defense forces, and 
     those capabilities include, but are not limited to, coastal 
     defense cruise missiles; and
       (4) while enhancing deterrence, it is also essential to 
     maintain open and effective crisis communication and risk 
     reduction mechanisms, as a means to reduce the risk of 
     misunderstanding and ultimately, conflict.
       (j) Strategy to Enhance Deterrence Over a Cross-strait 
     Conflict.--
       (1) In general.--No later than 90 days after the date of 
     enactment of this Act, the President shall submit to the

     conflict between the PRC and Taiwan.

     following:

     economic, and military tools to establish deterrence over a 
     cross-Strait conflict and an assessment of their efficacy.
       (B) An examination of the present and future capabilities 
     of the United States and Taiwan to respond to the potential 
     PLA campaigns against Taiwan in 5, 10, and 15 years. The 
     analysis shall include an assessment of the progress Taiwan 
     has made in developing the cost-effective and resilient 
     capabilities needed to respond to its strategic environment, 
     as well as any additional personnel, procurement, or training 
     reforms required.
       (C) An evaluation of the feasibility of expanding 
     coordination with United States allies and partners to 
     enhance deterrence over a cross-Strait conflict. The review 
     shall include a review of the following matters:
       (i) Expanding coordination of public or private messaging 
     on deterrence vis-a-vis Taiwan.
       (ii) Coordinating use of economic tools to raise the costs 
     of PRC military action that could precipitate a cross-Strait 
     conflict.
       (iii) Enhancing codevelopment and codeployment of military 
     capabilities related to deterrence over a cross-Strait 
     conflict, or enhancing coordination on training of Taiwan's 
     military forces.
       (D) Recommendations on significant additional diplomatic, 
     economic, and military steps available to the United States 
     Government, unilaterally and in concert with United States 
     allies and partners, to enhance the clarity and credibility 
     of deterrence over a cross-Strait conflict.
       (E) A description of any additional resources or 
     authorities needed to implement the recommendations 
     identified in subparagraph (D).
       (3) Form.--The strategy required in paragraph (1) shall be 
     submitted classified form but may include an unclassified 
     annex.

     enactment of this Act, and not less frequently than every 180 
     days thereafter for 7 years, the President (or a designee), 
     as well as representatives from the agencies and departments 
     involved in developing the strategy required in paragraph 
     (1), shall consult with the appropriate congressional 
     committees regarding the development and implementation of 
     the strategy required in this subsection. The representatives 
     from the relevant agencies and departments shall be at the

     professionals in pursuing professional development,

     Fellowship Act''.

       (A) The Taiwan Relations Act (Public Law 96-8; 22 U.S.C.

     promote extensive, close, and friendly commercial, cultural, 
     and other relations between the people of the United States 
     and the people on Taiwan, as well as the people on the China 
     mainland and all other peoples of the Western Pacific area''.
       (B) Consistent with the Asia Reassurance Initiative Act of 
     2018 (Public Law 115-409), the United States has grown its 
     strategic partnership with Taiwan's vibrant democracy of 
     23,000,000 people.
       (C) Despite a concerted campaign by the People's Republic 
     of China to isolate Taiwan from its diplomatic partners and 
     from international organizations, including the World Health 
     Organization, Taiwan has emerged as a global leader in the 
     coronavirus global pandemic response, including by donating 
     more than 2,000,000 surgical masks and other medical 
     equipment to the United States.
       (D) The creation of a United States fellowship program with 
     Taiwan would support--

     Taiwan that reflects our deepening unofficial relationship''.
       (2) Purposes.--The purposes of this section are--
       (A) to further strengthen the United States-Taiwan

     in Mandarin Chinese and placement as Fellows with the 
     governing authorities on Taiwan or a Taiwanese civic 
     institution;
       (B) to expand United States Government expertise in 
     Mandarin Chinese language skills and understanding of the

     SEC. 30213. INCREASING DEPARTMENT OF STATE PERSONNEL AND 
                   RESOURCES DEVOTED TO THE INDO-PACIFIC.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) In fiscal year 2020, the Department of State allocated 
     $1,500,000,000 to the Indo-Pacific region in bilateral and 
     regional foreign assistance resources, including as 
     authorized by section 201(b) of the Asia Reassurance 
     Initiative Act of 2018 (Public Law 115-409; 132 Stat. 5391), 
     and $798,000,000 in the fiscal year 2020 diplomatic 
     engagement budget. These amounts represent only 5 percent of 
     the diplomatic engagement budget and only 4 percent of the 
     total Department of State-USAID budget.
       (2) Over the last 5 years the diplomatic engagement budget 
     and personnel levels in the Indo-Pacific averaged only 5 
     percent of the total, while foreign assistance resources 
     averaged only 4 percent of the total.
       (3) In 2020, the Department of State began a process to 
     realign certain positions at posts to ensure that its 
     personnel footprint matches the demands of great-power 
     competition, including in the Indo-Pacific.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the size of the United States diplomatic corps must be 
     sufficient to meet the current and emerging challenges of the 
     21st century, including those in the Indo-Pacific region and 
     elsewhere;
       (2) robust Chinese-language skills are necessary for the 
     success of the United States diplomatic corps and integral to 
     its ability to meet national security objectives;
       (3) the increase must be designed to meet the objectives of 
     an Indo-Pacific strategy focused on strengthening the good 
     governance and sovereignty of countries that adhere to and 
     uphold the rules-based international order; and
       (4) the increase must be implemented with a focus on 
     increased numbers of economic, political, and public 
     diplomacy officers, representing a cumulative increase of at 
     least 200 Foreign Service officer generalists, to--
       (A) advance free, fair, and reciprocal trade and open 
     investment environments for United States entities, and 
     engaged in increased commercial diplomacy in key markets;
       (B) better articulate and explain United States policies, 
     strengthen civil society and democratic principles, enhance 
     reporting on global activities, promote people-to-people 
     exchanges, and advance United States influence; and
       (C) increase capacity at small- and medium-sized embassies 
     and consulates in the Indo-Pacific and other regions around 
     the world, as necessary.
       (c) Statement of Policy.--It shall be the policy of the 
     United States to--
       (1) ensure Department of State funding levels and personnel 
     footprint in the Indo-Pacific reflect the region's high 
     degree of importance and significance to United States 
     political, economic, and security interests; and
       (2) increase diplomatic engagement and foreign assistance 
     funding and the quantity of personnel dedicated to the Indo-
     Pacific region respective to the Department of State's total 
     budget.
       (d) Action Plan.--Not later than 180 days after the date of 
     the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State shall 
     provide to the appropriate congressional committees 
     (including the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence of 
     the House of Representatives and the Select Committee on 
     Intelligence of the Senate) of Congress an action plan that

     region.

       (a) Finding.--With 276 embassies and other representative 
     offices globally, China now has more diplomatic posts around 
     the world than any other country, including the United 
     States. Many of Beijing's new missions can be found in 
     countries that recently broke ties with Taiwan (Burkina Faso, 
     the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, the Gambia, and Sao Tome 
     and Principe) or do not have any United States diplomatic 
     physical presence despite these countries asking for 
     increased United States engagement and investment (Antigua 
     and Barbuda and Dominica).
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress, that 
     the Department of State should conduct an assessment of all 
     United States diplomatic missions and posts to verify such 
     missions and posts align with United States national security 
     and economic interests, as well as ensuring that these 
     locations position the United States appropriately with its 
     strategic competitors to advance the national interest in 
     every country worldwide, including those countries currently 
     lacking any physical United States diplomatic presence, 
     whether an embassy, consulate general, or principal officer 
     post.
       (c) Reporting.--Not later than 180 days after the date of 
     the enactment of this Act and biennially thereafter for 4 
     years, the Secretary of State shall submit to the appropriate 
     congressional committees (including the Permanent Select 
     Committee on Intelligence of the House of Representatives and 
     the Select Committee on Intelligence of the Senate) a report 
     assessing the number, location, and objectives of each of its 
     diplomatic missions and posts worldwide, including an 
     assessment of any gaps that exist compared to other country 
     strategic competitors. The Secretary of State shall 
     coordinate with the heads of other Federal departments and 
     agencies having an overseas presence at any United States 
     diplomatic mission or post to ensure such assessment reflects 
     all Federal Government equities and viewpoints.

     Center to ``direct, lead, and coordinate efforts'' of the 
     Federal Government to ``recognize, understand, expose, and 
     counter foreign state and non-state propaganda and 
     disinformation globally''.
       (b) Extension.--Section 1287(j) of the National Defense

     date of the enactment of this Act'' and inserting ``December 
     31, 2027''.
       (c) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     the Global Engagement Center should expand its coordinating 
     capacity of diplomatic messaging through the exchange of 
     liaison officers with Federal departments and agencies that 
     manage aspects of identifying and countering foreign 
     disinformation, including the Office of the Director of

       (d) Authorization of Appropriations.--There is authorized

     SEC. 30219B. REPORT ON ORIGINS OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC.

       (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) understanding the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic may 
     help the United States better prepare, prevent, and respond 
     to pandemic health threats in the future;
       (2) given the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all 
     Americans, the American people deserve to know what 
     information the United States Government possesses about the 
     origins of COVID-19, as appropriate;
       (3) it is critical for independent experts to have full 
     access to all pertinent human, animal, and environmental 
     data, biological sample, research, and personnel involved in 
     the early stages of the outbreak relevant to determining how 
     this pandemic emerged;
       (4) Congress shares the concerns expressed by the United 
     States Government and 13 other foreign governments that the 
     international team of

[[Page H461]]

     experts dispatched to the People's Republic of China by the 
     World Health Organization (WHO) to study the origins of the 
     SARS-CoV-2 virus was ``significantly delayed and lacked 
     access to complete, original data and samples'';
       (6) the G7 communique expressing support for full 
     implementation of the International Health Regulations, 
     including ``a timely, transparent, expert-led, and science-
     based WHO-convened Phase 2 COVID-19 Origins study including, 
     as recommended by the experts' report, in China'' is a 
     valuable commitment by the United States and its allies to 
     investigating the origins of COVID-19 in order to better 
     prepare for future pandemics; and
       (7) Congress supports the effort announced by President 
     Biden, directing the intelligence community to conduct a 90 
     day review to further analyze information pointing to the 
     origins of COVID-19, which resulted in broad intelligence 
     community agreement that the `virus was not developed as a 
     biological weapon' and `two hypotheses remain plausible: 
     natural exposure to an infected animal and a laboratory-
     associated incident'.
       (b) Report Required.--Not later than 180 days after 
     enactment of this Act, the President shall submit to the 
     appropriate committees of Congress a report consisting of--
       (1) an assessment of the most likely source or origin of 
     the SARS-CoV-2 virus, including a detailed review of all 
     information the United States possesses that it has 
     identified as potentially relevant to the source or origin of 
     the SARS-CoV-2 virus, including zoonotic transmission and

       (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the Indo-Pacific region is home to many of the world's 
     most dynamic democracies, economic opportunities, as well as 
     many challenges to United States interests and values as a 
     result of the growth in authoritarian governance in the 
     region and by broad challenges posed by nuclear 
     proliferation, the changing environment, and deteriorating 
     adherence to human rights principles and obligations;
       (2) the People's Republic of China poses a particular 
     threat as it repeatedly violates internationally recognized 
     human rights, engages in unfair economic and trade practices, 
     disregards international laws and norms, coerces its 
     neighbors, engages in malign influence operations, and 
     enables global digital authoritarianism;
       (3) the Asia Reassurance Initiative Act of 2018 (``ARIA'') 
     enhances the United States' commitment in the Indo-Pacific 
     region by--
       (A) expanding its defense cooperation with its allies and 
     partners;
       (B) investing in democracy and the protection of human 
     rights;
       (C) engaging in cybersecurity initiatives; and

     priorities; and
       (4) the 2019 Department of Defense Indo-Pacific Strategy 
     Report concludes that ARIA ``enshrines a generational whole-
     of-government policy framework that demonstrates U.S. 
     commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific region''.
       (b) Authorization of Appropriations.--The Asia Reassurance 
     Initiative Act of 2018 (Public Law 115-409) is amended--

     ``$2,000,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2022 through 
     2026'';
       (2) in section 215(b), by striking ``2023'' and inserting 
     ``2026'';
       (3) in section 306(a)--

       (1) condemns coercive and threatening actions or the use of

     alter the status quo, or to destabilize the Indo-Pacific 
     region;

     to refrain from implementing the declared East China Sea Air 
     Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ), or an ADIZ in the South 
     China Sea, where contrary to freedom of overflight in 
     international airspace, and to refrain from taking similar 
     provocative actions elsewhere in the Indo-Pacific region;
       (3) reaffirms that the 2016 Permanent Court of Arbitration 
     decision is final and legally binding on both parties and 
     that the People's Republic of China's claims to offshore 
     resources across most of the South China Sea are unlawful; 
     and
       (4) condemns the People's Republic of China for failing to 
     abide by the 2016 Permanent Court of Arbitration ruling, 
     despite the PRC's obligations as a state party to the United 
     Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.
       (b) Statement of Policy.--It shall be the policy of the 
     United States to--
       (1) reaffirm its commitment and support for allies and

       (2) oppose claims that impinge on the rights, freedoms, and

     available to all countries, and oppose the militarization of 
     new and reclaimed land features in the South China Sea;
       (3) continue certain policies with respect to the PRC 
     claims in the South China Sea, specifically--
       (A) that PRC claims in the South China Sea, including to 
     offshore resources across most of the South China Sea, are 
     unlawful;

     of Arbitration found to be in the Philippines' Exclusive 
     Economic Zone (EEZ) or on its continental shelf;
       (C) to reject any PRC claim to waters beyond a 12 nautical

     destabilizing activities, including environmentally harmful 
     and provocative land reclamation;

     coercion, or force;
       (6) call on all claimants to clarify or adjust claims in 
     accordance with international law;

     claims, including territorial waters or territorial seas, 
     must derive from land features and otherwise comport with 
     international law;
       (8) oppose the imposition of new fishing regulations 
     covering disputed areas in the South China Sea, regulations 
     which have raised tensions in the region;
       (9) support an effective Code of Conduct, if that Code of 
     Conduct reflects the interests of Southeast Asian claimant 
     countries and does not serve as a vehicle for the People's 
     Republic of China to advance its unlawful maritime claims;
       (10) reaffirm that an existing body of international rules 
     and guidelines, including the International Regulations for 
     Preventing Collisions at Sea, done at London October 12, 1972 
     (COLREGs), is sufficient to ensure the safety of navigation 
     between the United States Armed Forces and the forces of 
     other countries, including the People's Republic of China;
       (11) support the development of regional institutions and 
     bodies, including the ASEAN Regional Forum, the ASEAN Defense 
     Minister's Meeting Plus, the East Asia Summit, and the 
     expanded ASEAN Maritime Forum, to build practical cooperation 
     in the region and reinforce the role of international law;
       (12) encourage the deepening of partnerships with other 
     countries in the region for maritime domain awareness and 
     capacity building, as well as efforts by the United States 
     Government to explore the development of appropriate 
     multilateral mechanisms for a ``common operating picture'' in 
     the South China Sea among Southeast Asian countries that 
     would serve to help countries avoid destabilizing behavior 
     and deter risky and dangerous activities;
       (13) oppose actions by any country to prevent any other 
     country from exercising its sovereign rights to the resources 
     of the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) and continental shelf by 
     making claims to those areas in the South China Sea that have 
     no support in international law; and
       (14) assure the continuity of operations by the United 
     States in the Indo-Pacific region, including, when 
     appropriate, in cooperation with partners and allies, to 
     reaffirm freedom of navigation and overflight and other 
     lawful uses of the sea.

     Subtitle C--Multilateral Strategies to Bolster American Power

     SEC. 30231. FINDINGS ON MULTILATERAL ENGAGEMENT.

       Congress finds the following:
       (1) Every UN member state is legally required to finance 
     the UN's core budget in order to ensure that these missions 
     are properly resourced, and assessment rates are renegotiated 
     every three years by the UN General Assembly.
       (2) While the United States is the largest single financial 
     contributor to the UN system, the current model is beneficial 
     because it requires all UN member states, no matter how big 
     or small, to help shoulder the UN's regular and peacekeeping 
     budgets at specified levels.
       (3) Failing to meet our financial commitments to the UN 
     also empowers the PRC, which has raised our annual shortfalls 
     to claim we are not a reliable partner and is seeking to 
     leverage its own contributions to the regular budget and 
     peacekeeping in ways that run counter to United States 
     interests and values.
       (4) The People's Republic of China is now the second 
     largest financial contributor to UN peacekeeping, having gone 
     from an assessment rate of just 3 percent in 2008 to more 
     than 15 percent today, and is the ninth largest troop-
     contributor to UN missions, providing more personnel than the 
     other four permanent members of the Security Council 
     combined.
       (5) With greater engagement comes greater influence, and 
     PRC diplomats have sought to use their expanded clout to push 
     back against the human rights, civilian protection, and 
     gender-based violence aspects of UN peacekeeping mandates, 
     using United States funding shortfalls as a pretext.
       (6) The PRC has also used its growing clout to fill key 
     posts at UN agencies: Chinese nationals currently occupy the 
     top posts of four of the UN's 15 specialized agencies, while 
     the United States occupies only one.
       (7) From 2021 to 2022, there will be 15 elections for the 
     heads of UN specialized agencies and five for major UN funds 
     and programs. With the exception of the World Food Programme, 
     none are currently led by Americans.
       (8) A 2020 Department of State Inspector General Inspection 
     found that the Bureau for International Organizations did not 
     have a standard operating procedure for tracking and 
     promoting the employment of American Citizens in the UN 
     system, and their recommendation to the department to 
     establish one remains open.

       (3) Federal agencies utilize all the authorities under 
     section 3343 of title 5, United States Code, and subpart C of 
     title 5, Code of Federal Regulations (relating to detail and 
     transfer of Federal employees to international 
     organizations), to detail or transfer employees to relevant 
     international organizations;
       (4) the Secretary of State should assist the Department of 
     State and other Federal agencies in carrying out paragraph 
     (3) to the fullest extent;
       (5) the Secretary of State should support qualified 
     American candidates in their bid to win election to United 
     Nations-related leadership positions; and
       (6) the Secretary of State should support the placement of 
     Junior Professional Officers sponsored by the United States

     funds, programs, and agencies; and

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the United States and Canada have a unique relationship 
     based on shared geography, extensive personal connections, 
     deep economic ties, mutual defense commitments, and a shared 
     vision to uphold democracy, human rights, and the rules based 
     international order established after World War II;
       (2) the United States and Canada can better address the 
     People's Republic of China's economic, political, and 
     security influence through closer cooperation on 
     counternarcotics, environmental stewardship, transparent 
     practices in public procurement and infrastructure planning, 
     the Arctic, energy and connectivity issues, commercial 
     relations, bilateral legal matters, and support for 
     democracy, good governance, and human rights;
       (3) amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, the United States and 
     Canada should maintain joint initiatives to address border 
     management, commercial relations and infrastructure, a shared 
     approach with respect to the People's Republic of China, and 
     transnational challenges, including pandemics, energy 
     security, and environmental stewardship;
       (4) the United States and Canada should enhance cooperation 
     to counter Chinese disinformation, influence operations, 
     economic espionage, and propaganda efforts;
       (5) the People's Republic of China's infrastructure 
     investments, particularly in 5G telecommunications 
     technology, extraction of natural resources, and port 
     infrastructure, pose national security risks for the United 
     States and Canada;
       (6) the United States should share, as appropriate,

     expansion;

     collaborative initiatives to implement the January 9, 2020, 
     United States-Canada Joint Action Plan on Critical Minerals 
     Development Collaboration; and
       (8) the United States and Canada should prioritize 
     cooperation on continental defense and in the Arctic, 
     including by modernizing the North American Aerospace Defense 
     Command (NORAD) sensor architecture to provide effective 
     warning and tracking of threats by peer competitors, 
     including long-range missiles and high-precision weapons, to 
     the Northern Hemisphere.

     SEC. 30243. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING CHINA'S ARBITRARY 
                   IMPRISONMENT OF CANADIAN CITIZENS.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the Government of the People's Republic of China's 
     apparent arbitrary detention and abusive treatment of 
     Canadian nationals Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig in 
     apparent retaliation for the Government of Canada's arrest of 
     Meng Wanzhou is deeply concerning;
       (2) the Government of Canada has shown international 
     leadership by--
       (A) upholding the rule of law and complying with its 
     international legal obligations, including obligations 
     pursuant to the Extradition Treaty Between the United States 
     of America and Canada, signed at Washington December 3, 1971; 
     and
       (B) launching the Declaration Against Arbitrary Detention 
     in State-to-State Relations, which has been endorsed by 57 
     countries and the European Union, and reaffirms well-
     established prohibitions under international human rights 
     conventions against the arbitrary detention of foreign 
     nationals to be used as leverage in country-to-country 
     relations; and
       (3) the United States continues to join the Government of 
     Canada in calling for the immediate release of Michael Spavor 
     and Michael Kovrig and for due process for Canadian national 
     Robert Schellenberg.

     SEC. 30249. CARIBBEAN ENERGY INITIATIVE AS ALTERNATIVE TO 
                   CHINA'S BELT AND ROAD INITIATIVE.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The countries of the Caribbean are heavily reliant upon 
     imported oil to provide for approximately 90 percent of their 
     energy production.
       (2) The level of dependence is even higher including--
       (A) Jamaica, which relies on oil for 95.9 percent of its 
     electricity;
       (B) Barbados, which relies on oil for 96 percent of its 
     electricity;
       (C) The Virgin Islands, which relies on oil for nearly 100 
     percent of its electricity; and
       (D) St. Lucia, which relies on oil for 100 percent of its 
     electricity.
       (3) Overreliance on imported fossil fuels has had a 
     detrimental effect on economic development, growth, and 
     competitiveness in the Caribbean.
       (4) Since 1970, more than 80 percent of Caribbean coral 
     reefs have been lost due to coastal development and 
     pollution. Soot particulates and climate change caused by 
     burning fossil fuels have seriously damaged coral reefs, 
     which are a significant source of tourism dollars, fishing, 
     biodiversity, and natural beauty.
       (5) Air pollution caused by burning oil for electricity--
       (A) has serious health impacts in the form of higher rates 
     of asthma and other lung ailments; and
       (B) can also exacerbate climate change.
       (6) The Caribbean region is particularly vulnerable to sea 
     level rise and stronger storms.
       (7) Between 2005 and 2018, the dependence of the countries 
     of the Caribbean on oil was perpetuated by the Venezuelan-led 
     Petrocaribe oil alliance, which--
       (A) offered preferential terms for oil sales; and
       (B) supplies some countries with up to 40 percent of their 
     energy production needs.
       (8) The ongoing domestic economic crisis and political 
     turmoil in Venezuela has forced the Government of Venezuela 
     to retract its commitments to the Petrocaribe oil alliance 
     and step away as a regional power. Only Cuba still receives 
     preferential Petrocaribe pricing on fuel exports from 
     Venezuela, while other Petrocaribe member countries are 
     experiencing a destabilized flow of oil.
       (9) China has spent more than $244,000,000,000 on energy 
     projects worldwide since 2000, 25 percent of which was spent 
     in Latin America and the Caribbean. Although the majority of 
     this spending was for oil, gas, and coal, China has also been 
     the largest investor in clean energy globally for almost a 
     decade.
       (10) The World Bank estimates that the Caribbean will need 
     $12,000,000,000 in power investments through 2035.
       (11) Renewable energy technology costs have decreased 
     dramatically in recent years, offering a more viable economic 
     alternative for energy production. Solar energy prices have 
     fallen by 80 percent since 2008, causing significant market 
     growth, and according to data released by the International 
     Renewable Energy Agency, \1/3\ of global power capacity is 
     based in renewable energy.
       (12) In 2016, the International Monetary Fund estimated 
     that transportation accounted for 36 percent of the total 
     primary energy consumed in the Caribbean subregion.
       (13) According to the United Nations Environment Programme, 
     Latin America and the Caribbean could achieve annual savings 
     of $621,000,000,000 and a reduction of 1,100,000,000 tons of 
     CO2 by 2050 if the region's energy and transport sectors 
     reach net zero emissions.
       (14) The Caribbean has an abundance of onshore and offshore 
     resources needed for renewable energy, including sun, wind, 
     geothermal, and some hydropower production capacity.

     with individual countries--
       (A) to transform its energy sector;
       (B) to work to increase access to finance, good governance, 
     and diversification; and
       (C) to maximize the impact of existing donor effects.
       (18) On May 4, 2016, at the United States-Caribbean-Central 
     American Energy Summit, the energy security task force 
     formally launched the Caribbean Sustainable Energy Roadmap 
     and Strategy (C-SERMS) as a mechanism to manage regional 
     coordination and action on energy security and agreed to 
     expand the regional market and transmission system.
       (19) The United States has an important opportunity--
       (A) to deepen this engagement;
       (B) to work as a partner with Caribbean countries on a more 
     regional and coordinated basis;
       (C) to help ease the region's dependence on imported oil; 
     and
       (D) to promote affordable alternative sources of energy.
       (b) Definitions.--In this section:

     SEC. 30250. UNITED STATES-CARIBBEAN RESILIENCE PARTNERSHIP.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The United States shares with the Caribbean a 
     collective vulnerability to natural disasters, which affects 
     the lives and the economies of our citizens.

[[Page H467]]

       (2) The April 9, 2021, eruption of the La Soufriere volcano 
     is another reminder of the devastation caused by the many 
     natural disasters the Caribbean confronts each year and the 
     region's vulnerability to external shocks. Hurricane Dorian, 
     the largest storm to hit the region, wiped out large parts of 
     the northern Bahamas in 2019, and Hurricanes Maria and Irma 
     devastated multiple islands across the region in 2017, 
     including Puerto Rico. According to IMF research, of the 511 
     plus disasters worldwide to hit small states since 1950, 
     around two-thirds (324) have been in the Caribbean.
       (3) This region is seven times more likely to experience a 
     natural disaster than elsewhere. And, when one occurs, it 
     will incur as much as six times more damage.
       (4) Extreme weather events and other environmental impacts 
     will only worsen over the coming years, and if not addressed, 
     we will see only increasing economic shocks on these 
     countries, driving irregular migration.
       (5) While the United States has considerable expertise and 
     capacity in assisting countries with disaster response, there 
     remains a need for stronger partnerships that build regional 
     resilience through efficient and interoperable platforms, 
     protecting people and speeding recovery.
       (6) The People's Republic of China has dramatically 
     increased its engagement in the Caribbean in the past five 
     years, including offering loans and grants related to 
     disaster response and resilience and sought to acquire 
     property rights in the Caribbean that would be detrimental to 
     United States national security interests.
       (7) In 2019, the United States launched a new U.S.-
     Caribbean Resilience Partnership to deepen cooperation and 
     investment to strengthen our disaster resilience throughout 
     the Caribbean region, including--
       (A) to streamline early warning response networks and 
     formalize communication channels;
       (B) to enhance, encourage, and work collaboratively on 
     further developing aviation disaster resilience plans and 
     partnerships;
       (C) to prioritize regional technical exchange in energy 
     planning, risk reduction, and resilience;
       (D) to increase communications network interoperability 
     between Caribbean partners and the United States;
       (E) to utilize storm surge mapping data and share real-time 
     information in preparation for potential damage resulting 
     from tropical cyclones and tsunamis;
       (F) to use meteorological services to strengthen and deepen 
     physical and communications infrastructure, data collection 
     networks, and human and technical capacity throughout the 
     region, as well as interactions with the public;
       (G) to understand that while the use of international and 
     military and civil defense assets in disaster response may 
     only be considered as a last resort, when local, national, 
     and international civilian capabilities are overwhelmed, 
     civil-military coordination should occur, in support of the 
     affected nation;
       (H) to develop a framework that would govern the deployment 
     of international military and civil defense assets in 
     disaster response when local, national, and international 
     civilian capabilities are overwhelmed, in support of the 
     affected nation;
       (I) to seek common mechanisms for ensuring rapid disaster 
     response and recovery, including waiving or expediting 
     diplomatic clearances, waiving of or reducing customs fees, 
     streamlining overflight and airspace clearance, and ensuring 
     that the first responders have the ability to rapidly respond 
     to disasters in other countries;
       (J) to promote the integration and coordination of regional 
     response mechanisms in the Caribbean, including through the 
     Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency, the Regional 
     Security System, United States Government Agencies, and 
     allies in ways that facilitate more effective and efficient 
     planning, mitigation, response, and resilience to natural 
     disasters;
       (K) to share best practices in improved building codes with 
     national disaster organizations, including building better 
     programs, at regional, national and community levels; and
       (L) to promote community-based disaster preparedness and 
     mitigation activities, particularly in underserved 
     communities, with the aim of increasing broad public 
     participation and resilience.
       (b) Policy.--It is the policy of the United States to help 
     Caribbean countries--
       (1) increase their resilience and adapt to natural 
     disasters and the impacts of severe weather events and a 
     changing environment;
       (2) partner with United States Federal, State, and local 
     agencies and engage in technical cooperation, dialogue, and 
     assistance activities;
       (3) harmonize standards and practices related to paragraphs 
     (1) and (2) to promote increased investment and integration;
       (4) increase investment from United States companies in the 
     Caribbean on resilience-building, adaptation, and climate-
     related mitigation efforts;
       (5) promote regional cooperation and ensure efforts by the 
     United States, Caribbean countries, and international 
     partners complement each other; and
       (6) further assist with the efforts described in subsection 
     (a)(7).
       (c) Strategy.--Not later than 180 days after the date of 
     the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State, in 
     coordination with the heads of other Federal departments and 
     agencies, shall submit to the appropriate congressional 
     committees a multi-year strategy that describes how the 
     Department of State will achieve the policies described in 
     subsection (b).
       (d) Authorization of Appropriations.--There are authorized 
     to be appropriated for activities, programs, technical 
     assistance, and engagement under this section the following:
       (1) $20,000,000 for fiscal year 2022.
       (2) $25,000,000 for fiscal year 2023.
       (3) $30,000,000 for fiscal year 2024 and each fiscal year 
     thereafter.
       (e) Reporting and Monitoring.--
       (1) In general.--Of the amounts authorized to be 
     appropriated each fiscal year pursuant to subsection (d), at 
     least five percent of all programming funding allocation 
     shall support and be directed toward reporting, monitoring, 
     and assessment of effectiveness.
       (2) Engagement and collaboration.--The Department of State 
     shall ensure that at least 20 percent of amounts authorized 
     to be appropriated pursuant to subsection (d) directly 
     support the training of, engagement with, collaboration with, 
     and exchange of expertise on resilience between United States 
     Federal, State, and local officials and their Caribbean 
     government counterparts. Such amounts should also support, as 
     appropriate, increased academic, civil society, media, and 
     private sector engagement in the fields of resilience-
     building, adaptation, and mitigation.

     SEC. 30251. COUNTERING CHINA'S EDUCATIONAL AND CULTURAL 
                   DIPLOMACY IN LATIN AMERICA.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) According to a report by the National Endowment for 
     Democracy, China has spent the equivalent of billions of 
     dollars to shape public opinion and perceptions around the 
     world through thousands of people-to-people exchanges, 
     cultural activities, educational programs, and the 
     development of media enterprises and information initiatives 
     with global reach.
       (2) Educational and exchange programs are a core element of 
     United States public diplomacy, elevating our culture, 
     policies, and interests worldwide.
       (3) These programs provide students with access to 
     international knowledge, an opportunity to learn foreign 
     languages, and a unique environment for developing cultural 
     understanding, all of which are valuable skills in today's 
     global economy.
       (4) 90 percent of ECA's appropriation is spent in the 
     United States or invested directly in American citizens or 
     American organizations.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) China's efforts to mold public opinion and influence 
     educational institutions undermine United States' influence 
     in Latin America and the Caribbean and threaten democratic 
     institutions and practices in the region;
       (2) the United States Government should expand current 
     educational and cultural exchange programs in Latin America 
     and the Caribbean, which are cost-effective and strengthen 
     people-to-people diplomacy, to promote national security and 
     foreign policy interests of the United States; and
       (3) educational exchanges foster linguistic, cultural, and 
     educational skills that advance United States economic 
     competitiveness, strengthen alliances, and support 
     democracies worldwide.
       (c) Strategy.--Not later than 180 days after the date of 
     the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State, acting 
     through the Assistant Secretary of State for Educational and 
     Cultural Affairs, and in coordination with the Assistant 
     Administrator for the Bureau of Economic Growth, Education, 
     and Environment at the United States Agency for International 
     Development, shall devise a strategy--
       (1) to evaluate and expand existing programs and, as 
     necessary, design and implement new educational, 
     professional, and cultural exchanges and other programs to--
       (A) create and sustain mutual understanding with other 
     countries necessary to advance United States foreign policy 
     goals by cultivating people-to-people ties among current and 
     future global leaders that build enduring networks and 
     personal relationships; and
       (B) promote United States national security interests and 
     values, including through the expansion of exchange visitor 
     programs such as international visitor leadership programs 
     and the Young Leaders of the Americas Initiative, as well as 
     professional capacity building programs that prioritize 
     building skills in entrepreneurship, promoting transparency, 
     and technology;
       (2) to ensure that exchange programs for Americans abroad 
     and international visitors attract a diverse pool of 
     participants, including from underrepresented, marginalized, 
     and low-income communities; and
       (3) to evaluate, expand, and strengthen existing programs, 
     and, as necessary, design and implement new basic and higher 
     education programs in Latin America and the Caribbean, in 
     accordance with the United States Strategy on International 
     Basic Education and the United States Agency for 
     International Development Education Policy, to enable all 
     young adults, youth, and children to acquire the quality 
     education and skills needed to be productive members in 
     society, which will lead to better individual and societal 
     outcomes.
       (d) Report With Intelligence Assessment.--Not later than 
     180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the 
     Secretary of State shall, in coordination with the Director 
     of National Intelligence, submit to the appropriate 
     congressional committees (including the Permanent Select 
     Committee on Intelligence of the House of Representatives and 
     the Select Committee on Intelligence of the Senate) a report 
     that assesses the nature and impact of the People's Republic 
     of China's educational and cultural sector activity in Latin 
     America and the Caribbean, its impact on United States' 
     strategic interests, and recommendations for the United 
     States Government to expand people-to-people ties.

     SEC. 30252. NARCOTICS TRAFFICKING IN LATIN AMERICA AND THE 
                   CARIBBEAN.

       It is the sense of Congress that--

[[Page H468]]

       (1) narcotics trafficking continues to pose a security 
     threat to the countries and peoples of Latin America and the 
     Caribbean;
       (2) other forms of transnational organized crime, including 
     arms trafficking, human smuggling, money laundering, and 
     illicit financing, are drivers of irregular migration;
       (3) narcotics trafficking is fueled by governments that 
     fail to curb the illicit drug trade by adequately regulating 
     the legal trade of non-fentanyl opioids and precursor 
     chemicals used to produce fentanyl, fentanyl analogs, and 
     other synthetic drugs;
       (4) further, governments that do not cooperate sufficiently 
     on financial investigations and prosecutions, withhold 
     information with respect to money laundering crimes, or are 
     determined to facilitate illicit activities, particularly by 
     transnational organized criminal organizations, should be 
     held accountable;
       (5) as noted in the International Narcotics Control 
     Strategy Report 2020, China ``has not cooperated sufficiently 
     on financial investigations and does not provide adequate 
     responses to requests for financial investigation 
     information'';
       (6) the United States should apply economic and other 
     targeted financial sanctions with respect to individuals 
     engaged in financial crimes and money laundering that fosters 
     narcotics trafficking in the countries of Latin America and 
     the Caribbean; and
       (7) the United States should look to policies to hold 
     accountable countries that fail to sufficiently investigate 
     financial crimes and money laundering that foster narcotics 
     trafficking in the countries of Latin America and the 
     Caribbean.

                  PART 2--TRANSATLANTIC RELATIONSHIPS

     SEC. 30255. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON TRANSATLANTIC RELATIONSHIPS.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the United States, the European Union, the United 
     Kingdom, and other European countries are close partners, 
     sharing values grounded in democracy, human rights, 
     transparency, and the rules-based international order 
     established after World War II;
       (2) without a common approach by the United States, the 
     European Union, the United Kingdom, and other European 
     countries on connectivity, transnational challenges, and 
     support for democracy and human rights, the People's Republic 
     of China will continue to increase its economic, political, 
     and security leverage in Europe and globally;
       (3) the People's Republic of China's deployment of 
     assistance to European countries following the COVID-19 
     outbreak showcased a coercive approach to aid, but it also 
     highlighted Europe's deep economic ties to the People's 
     Republic of China;
       (4) as European countries seek to recover from the economic 
     toll of the COVID-19 outbreak, the United States must stand 
     in partnership with Europe to support our collective economic 
     recovery, reinforce our collective national security, and 
     defend shared values;
       (5) the United States, the European Union, the United 
     Kingdom, and other European countries should coordinate on 
     joint strategies to diversify reliance on supply chains away 
     from the People's Republic of China, especially in the 
     medical and pharmaceutical sectors;
       (6) the United States, the European Union, the United 
     Kingdom, and other European countries should leverage their 
     respective economic innovation capabilities to support the 
     global economic recovery from the COVID-19 recession and draw 
     a contrast with the centralized economy of the People's 
     Republic of China;
       (7) the United States, the European Union, Japan, and other 
     like-minded countries should continue efforts to address the 
     security, economic, democracy, and human rights challenges 
     posed by the People's Republic of China;
       (8) the United States, the European Union, the United 
     Kingdom, and other European countries should enhance 
     cooperation to counter People's Republic of China 
     disinformation, influence operations, and propaganda efforts;
       (9) the United States and Europe share serious concerns 
     with the repressions being supported and executed by the 
     Government of the People's Republic of China, and should 
     continue implementing measures to address the Government of 
     the People's Republic of China's specific abuses in Tibet, 
     Hong Kong, and Xinjiang, and should build joint mechanisms 
     and programs to prevent the export of China's authoritarian 
     governance model to countries around the world;
       (10) the United States and Europe should remain united in 
     their shared values against attempts by the Government of the 
     People's Republic of China at the United Nations and other 
     multilateral organizations to promote efforts that erode the 
     Universal Declaration of Human Rights, like the ``community 
     of a shared future for mankind'' and ``democratization of 
     international relations'';
       (11) the People's Republic of China's infrastructure 
     investments around the world, particularly in 5G 
     telecommunications technology and port infrastructure, could 
     threaten democracy across Europe and the national security of 
     key countries;
       (12) as appropriate, the United States should share 
     intelligence with European allies and partners on Huawei's 5G 
     capabilities and the intentions of the Government of the 
     People's Republic of China with respect to 5G expansion in 
     Europe;
       (13) the European Union's Investment Screening Regulation, 
     which came into force in October 2020, is a welcome 
     development, and member states should closely scrutinize PRC 
     investments in their countries through their own national 
     investment screening measures;
       (14) the President should actively engage the European 
     Union on the implementation of the Export Control Reform Act 
     regulations and to better harmonize United States and 
     European Union policies with respect to export controls;
       (15) the President should strongly advocate for the listing 
     of more items and technologies to restrict dual use exports 
     controlled at the National Security and above level to the 
     People's Republic of China under the Wassenaar Arrangement;
       (16) the United States should explore the value of 
     establishing a body akin to the Coordinating Committee for 
     Multilateral Export Controls (CoCom) that would specifically 
     coordinate United States and European Union export control 
     policies with respect to limiting exports of sensitive 
     technologies to the People's Republic of China; and

     banned by the government or not fully established, about the 
     region, the world, and the United States through uncensored 
     news, responsible discussion, and open debate.

     SEC. 30276. AFRICA ENERGY SECURITY AND DIVERSIFICATION.

       (a) Statement of Policy.--It is the policy of the United 
     States to support increased access to energy in Africa and 
     reduce Africa's energy dependence on countries that use 
     energy reliance for undue political influence such as the 
     Russian Federation and the People's Republic of China.
       (b) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) Lack of access to energy remains a significant barrier 
     to economic advancement and opportunity in Africa. As of 
     2018, an estimated 789,000,000 people, the vast majority of 
     them in sub-Saharan Africa, lacked access to any modern 
     electricity. Even in the region's most advanced economies, 
     average annual per capita electricity consumption is often 
     under 200 kilowatt-hours, less than what is needed to power a 
     typical refrigerator. Only a small fraction of the 12,000,000 
     young Africans who enter the job market each year find 
     employment; and the cost and reliability of electricity 
     remain top constraints to job creation and economic 
     competitiveness.
       (2) The United States' global strategic competitors have 
     stepped in to address this disparity and finance energy 
     sector development across Africa. China is the single largest 
     trading partner for African countries in aggregate, and the 
     largest bilateral lender for public sector loans across 
     Africa. Approximately 65 percent of Chinese lending to Africa 
     goes to infrastructure, and between 2013-2020, the energy 
     sector consistently accounted for the largest share of all 
     investment under China's Belt and Road Initiative.
       (3) Reliable, affordable, and sustainable power is the 
     foundation for all modern economies and necessary for 
     increasing growth and employment.
       (4) Increasing energy supply in low- and lower middle-
     income countries is necessary in the next decades in order to 
     meet human, social, security, and economic needs.
       (5) Addressing energy poverty, powering inclusive 
     economies, and making energy systems resilient in low- and 
     lower middle-income countries will require diversified power 
     systems and a mix of technologies that align with local 
     conditions, resources, and needs.
       (c) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     countries in Africa continue to be important partners to the 
     United States and the DFC should continue to make investments 
     in sub-Saharan Africa to facilitate technologies that 
     contribute to energy security and reliable, affordable, and 
     sustainable power in low and lower middle-income countries.

       (d) Amendment.--Section 3 of the Electrify Africa Act of 
     2015 (Public Law 114-121; 22 U.S.C. 2293 note) is amended--
       (1) in paragraph (8), by striking ``and'' at the end;
       (2) in paragraph (9), by striking the period and inserting 
     a semicolon; and
       (3) by inserting after paragraph (9) the following:
       ``(10) advance United States foreign policy and development 
     goals by assisting African countries to reduce their 
     dependence on energy resources from countries that use energy 
     dependence for undue political influence, such as the Russian 
     Federation or the People's Republic of China, which have used 
     energy and financial resources to influence other countries;
       ``(11) promote the energy security of allies and partners 
     of the United States by encouraging the development of 
     accessible, transparent, and competitive energy markets that 
     provide diversified sources and reliable, affordable, and 
     sustainable power;
       ``(12) encourage United States public and private sector 
     investment in African energy infrastructure projects to 
     bridge the gap between energy security requirements and 
     commercial demand in a way that is consistent with the 
     region's capacity; and
       ``(13) help facilitate the export of United States energy 
     resources, technology, and expertise to global markets in a 
     way that benefits the energy security of allies and partners 
     of the United States, including in Africa.''.

                  PART 5--MIDDLE EAST AND NORTH AFRICA

     SEC. 30281. STRATEGY TO COUNTER CHINESE INFLUENCE IN, AND 
                   ACCESS TO, THE MIDDLE EAST AND NORTH AFRICA.

       (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the People's Republic of China is upgrading its 
     influence in the Middle East and North Africa through its 
     energy and infrastructure investments, technology transfer, 
     and arms sales;
       (2) the People's Republic of China seeks to establish 
     military or dual use facilities in geographically strategic 
     locations in the Middle East and North Africa to further its 
     Belt and Road Initiative at the expense of United States 
     national security interests; and
       (3) the export of certain communications infrastructure 
     from the People's Republic of China degrades the security of 
     partner networks, exposes intellectual property to theft, 
     threatens the ability of the United States to conduct 
     security cooperation with compromised regional partners, and 
     furthers China's authoritarian surveillance model.
       (b) Strategy Required.--
       (1) In general.--Not later than 180 days after the date of 
     the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State, in 
     coordination with the Secretary of Defense, the Administrator

     committees and the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate 
     and the House of Representatives a strategy for countering 
     and limiting the People's Republic of China's influence in, 
     and access to, the Middle East and North Africa.
       (2) Elements.--The strategy required under paragraph (1) 
     shall include--
       (A) an assessment of the People's Republic of China's

     responding to the People's Republic of China's efforts to 
     increase its military presence in their countries;
       (C) efforts to improve regional cooperation through foreign 
     military sales, financing, and efforts to build partner 
     capacity and increase interoperability with the United 
     States;
       (D) an assessment of the People's Republic of China's joint 
     research and development with the Middle East and North 
     Africa, impacts on the United States' national security 
     interests, and recommended steps to mitigate the People's 
     Republic of China's influence in such area;
       (E) an assessment of arms sales and weapons technology 
     transfers from the People's Republic of China to the Middle 
     East and North Africa, impacts on United States' national

     People's Republic of China's technology.
       (c) Form.--The strategy required under section (b) shall be 
     submitted in an unclassified form that can be made available

                   ENGAGEMENT.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The United States and the international community have 
     long-term interests in the stability, security, and 
     prosperity of the people of the Middle East and North Africa.
       (2) In addition to and apart from military and security 
     efforts, the United States should harness a whole of 
     government approach, including bilateral and multilateral 
     statecraft, economic lines of effort, and public diplomacy to 
     compete with and counter PRC influence.
       (3) A clearly articulated positive narrative of United 
     States engagement, transparent governance structures, and 
     active civil society engagement help counter predatory 
     foreign investment and influence efforts.
       (b) Statement of Policy.--It is the policy of the United 
     States that the United States and the international community 
     should continue diplomatic and economic efforts throughout

       It is the sense of Congress that the People's Republic of

     activities.

                         PART 6--ARCTIC REGION

     SEC. 30285. ARCTIC DIPLOMACY.

       (a) Sense of Congress on Arctic Security.--It is the sense 
     of Congress that--
       (1) the rapidly changing Arctic environment--
       (A) creates new national and regional security challenges 
     due to increased military activity in the Arctic;
       (B) heightens the risk of the Arctic emerging as a major 
     theater of conflict in ongoing strategic competition;
       (C) threatens maritime safety as Arctic littoral countries 
     have inadequate capacity to patrol the increased vessel 
     traffic in this remote region, which is a result of 
     diminished annual levels of sea ice;
       (D) impacts public safety due to increased human activity 
     in the Arctic region where search and rescue capacity remains 
     very limited; and
       (E) threatens the health of the Arctic's fragile and 
     pristine environment and the unique and highly sensitive 
     species found in the Arctic's marine and terrestrial 
     ecosystems; and
       (2) the United States should reduce the consequences 
     described in paragraph (1) by--
       (A) evaluating the wide variety and dynamic set of security 
     and safety risks developing in the Arctic;
       (B) developing policies and making preparations to mitigate 
     and respond to threats and risks in the Arctic, including by 
     continuing to work with allies and partners in the Arctic 
     region to deter potential aggressive activities and build 
     Arctic competencies;
       (C) adequately funding the National Earth System Prediction 
     Capability to substantively improve weather, ocean, and ice 
     predictions on the time scales necessary to ensure regional 
     security and trans-Arctic shipping;
       (D) investing in resources, including a significantly 
     expanded icebreaker fleet, to ensure that the United States 
     has adequate capacity to prevent and respond to security 
     threats in the Arctic region; and
       (E) pursuing diplomatic engagements with all states in the 
     Arctic region to reach an agreement for--
       (i) maintaining peace and stability in the Arctic region;
       (ii) fostering cooperation on stewardship and safety 
     initiatives in the Arctic region;
       (iii) ensuring safe and efficient management of commercial 
     maritime traffic in the Arctic;
       (iv) promoting responsible natural resource management and 
     economic development; and
       (v) countering China's Polar Silk Road initiative;
       (vi) examining the possibility of reconvening the Arctic 
     Chiefs of Defense Forum; and
       (vii) reducing black carbon and methane emissions in the 
     Arctic Region, including by working with observers of the 
     Arctic Council, including India and the People's Republic of 
     China, to adopt mitigation plans consistent with the findings 
     and recommendations of the Arctic Council's Framework for 
     Action on Black Carbon and Methane.

       (b) Statement of Policy.--It is the policy of the United 
     States--
       (1) to recognize only the states specified in subsection

                        PART 8--PACIFIC ISLANDS

     SEC. 30295. SHORT TITLE.

       This part may be cited as the ``Boosting Long-term U.S. 
     Engagement in the Pacific Act'' or the ``BLUE Pacific Act''.

     SEC. 30296. FINDINGS.

       Congress finds the following:
       (1) The Pacific Islands--
       (A) are home to roughly 10 million residents, including 
     over 8.6 million in Papua New Guinea, constituting diverse 
     and dynamic cultures and peoples;
       (B) are spread across an expanse of the Pacific Ocean 
     equivalent to 15 percent of the Earth's surface, including 
     the three sub-regions of Melanesia, Micronesia, and 
     Polynesia; and
       (C) face shared challenges in development that have 
     distinct local contexts, including climate change and rising 
     sea levels, geographic distances from major markets, and 
     vulnerability to external shocks such as natural disasters.
       (2) The United States is a Pacific country with 
     longstanding ties and shared values and interests with the 
     Pacific Islands, including through the Compacts of Free 
     Association with the Freely Associated States, the Republic 
     of the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, 
     and the Republic of Palau.
       (3) The United States has vital national security interests 
     in the Pacific Islands, including--
       (A) protecting regional peace and security that fully 
     respects the sovereignty of all nations;
       (B) advancing economic prosperity free from coercion 
     through sustainable development; and
       (C) supporting democracy, good governance, the rule of law, 
     and human rights and fundamental freedoms.
       (4) Successive United States administrations have 
     recognized the importance of the Pacific region, including 
     the Pacific Islands, in high-level strategic documents, 
     including the following:
       (A) The 2015 National Security Strategy, which first 
     declared the rebalance to Asia and the Pacific, affirmed the 
     United States as a Pacific nation, and paved the way for 
     subsequent United States engagement with the Pacific Islands, 
     including several new policies focused on conservation and 
     resilience to climate change announced in September 2016.
       (B) The 2017 National Security Strategy, which includes a 
     commitment to ``shore up fragile partner states in the 
     Pacific Islands region to reduce their vulnerability to 
     economic fluctuations and natural disasters''.
       (C) The 2019 Indo-Pacific Strategy Report, which identified 
     the Pacific Islands as ``critical to U.S. strategy because of 
     our shared values, interests, and commitments'' and committed 
     the United States to ``building capacity and resilience to 
     address maritime security; Illegal, Unreported, and 
     Unregulated fishing; drug trafficking; and resilience to 
     address climate change and disaster response''.
       (5) The United States has deepened its diplomatic 
     engagement with the Pacific Islands through several recent 
     initiatives, including--
       (A) the Pacific Pledge, which provided an additional 
     $100,000,000 in 2019 and $200,000,000 in 2020, on top of the 
     approximately $350,000,000 that the United States provides 
     annually to the region to support shared priorities in 
     economic and human development, climate change, and more; and
       (B) the Small and Less Populous Island Economies (SALPIE) 
     Initiative launched in March 2021 to strengthen United States 
     collaboration with island countries and territories, 
     including in the Pacific Islands, on COVID-19 economic 
     challenges, long-term economic development, climate change, 
     and other shared interests.
       (6) The Boe Declaration on Regional Security, signed by 
     leaders of the Pacific Islands Forum in 2018, affirmed that 
     climate change ``remains the single greatest threat to the 
     livelihoods, security, and wellbeing of the peoples of the 
     Pacific'' and asserted ``the sovereign right of every Member 
     to conduct its national affairs free of external interference 
     and coercion''.
       (7) The Asian Development Bank has estimated that the 
     Pacific Islands region needs upwards of $2.8 billion a year 
     in investment needs through 2030, in addition to $300 million 
     a year for climate mitigation and adaptation over the same 
     period.
       (8) The Pacific Islands swiftly enacted effective policies 
     to prevent and contain the spread of the Coronavirus Disease 
     2019 (commonly referred to as ``COVID-19'') pandemic to their 
     populations. The United States has provided over $130,000,000 
     in assistance to the Pacific Islands for their COVID-19 
     response. However, priorities must be met to ensure continued 
     success in preventing the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, 
     achieving swift and widespread vaccinations, and pursuing 
     long-term economic recovery in the Pacific Islands, including 
     through--
       (A) expanding testing capacity and acquisition of needed 
     medical supplies, including available COVID-19 vaccines and 
     supporting vaccination efforts, through a reliable supply 
     chain;
       (B) planning for lifting of lockdowns and reopening of 
     economic and social activities; and

[[Page H475]]

       (C) mitigating and recovering from the impacts of the 
     COVID-19 pandemic on the health system and the reliance on 
     food and energy imports as well as lost tourism revenue and 
     other economic and food security damages caused by the 
     pandemic.
       (9) Since 1966, thousands of Peace Corps volunteers have 
     proudly served in the Pacific Islands, building strong 
     people-to-people relationships and demonstrating the United 
     States commitment to peace and development in the region. 
     Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Peace Corps maintained 
     presence in four countries of the Pacific Islands. Peace 
     Corps volunteers continue to be in high demand in the Pacific 
     Islands and have been requested across the region.

     SEC. 30301. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE CONTINUED VIOLATION OF 
                   RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OF THE PEOPLE OF HONG KONG.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) Despite international condemnation, the Government of 
     the People's Republic of China (``PRC'') continues to 
     disregard its international legal obligations under the Joint 
     Declaration of the Government of the United Kingdom of Great 
     Britain and Northern Ireland and the Government of the 
     People's Republic of China on the Question of Hong Kong 
     (``Joint Declaration''), in which the PRC committed that--
       (A) Hong Kong would enjoy a high degree of autonomy;
       (B) for at least 50 years the ``social and economic systems 
     in Hong Kong'' would remain unchanged; and
       (C) the personal rights and freedoms of the people of Hong 
     Kong would be protected by law.
       (2) As part of its continued efforts to undermine the 
     established rights of the Hong Kong people, the PRC National 
     People's Congress Standing Committee (``Standing Committee'') 
     passed and imposed upon Hong Kong oppressive and 
     intentionally vague national security legislation on June 30, 
     2020, that grants Beijing sweeping powers to punish acts of 
     ``separating the country, subverting state power, and 
     organizing terroristic activities''.
       (3) The legislative process by which the Standing Committee 
     imposed the national security law on Hong Kong bypassed Hong 
     Kong's local government in a potential violation of the Basic 
     Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the 
     People's Republic of China (``Basic Law''), and involved 
     unusual secrecy, as demonstrated by the fact that the 
     legislation was only the second law since 2008 that the 
     Standing Committee has passed without releasing a draft for 
     public comment.
       (4) On July 30, 2020, election officials of the Hong Kong 
     Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) disqualified twelve 
     pro-democracy candidates from participating in the September 
     6 Legislative Council elections, which were subsequently 
     postponed for a year until September 5, 2021, by citing the 
     public health risk of holding elections during the COVID-19 
     pandemic.
       (5) On July 31, 2020, in an attempt to assert 
     extraterritorial jurisdiction, the HKSAR Government announced 
     indictments of and arrest warrants for six Hong Kong 
     activists living overseas, including United States citizen 
     Samuel Chu, for alleged violations of the national security 
     law.
       (6) On November 11, 2020, the HKSAR Government removed four 
     lawmakers from office for allegedly violating the law after 
     the Standing Committee passed additional legislation barring 
     those who promoted or supported Hong Kong independence and 
     refused to acknowledge PRC sovereignty over Hong Kong, or 
     otherwise violates the national security law, from running 
     for or serving in the Legislative Council.
       (7) On December 2, 2020, pro-democracy activists Joshua 
     Wong, Agnes Chow, and Ivan Lam were sentenced to prison for 
     participating in 2019 protests.
       (8) Ten of the twelve Hong Kong residents (also known as 
     ``the Hong Kong 12'') who sought to flee by boat from Hong 
     Kong to Taiwan on August 23, 2020, were taken to mainland 
     China and sentenced on December 30, 2020, to prison terms 
     ranging from seven months to three years for illegal border 
     crossing.
       (9) On December 31, 2020, Hong Kong's highest court revoked 
     bail for Jimmy Lai Chee-Ying, a pro-democracy figure and 
     publisher, who was charged on December 12 with colluding with 
     foreign forces and endangering national security under the 
     national security legislation.
       (10) On January 4, 2021, the Departments of Justice in 
     Henan and Sichuan province threatened to revoke the licenses 
     of two lawyers hired to help the Hong Kong 12.
       (11) On January 5, 2021, the Hong Kong Police Force 
     arrested more than fifty opposition figures, including pro-
     democracy officials, activists, and an American lawyer, for 
     their involvement in an informal July 2020 primary to select 
     candidates for the general election originally scheduled for 
     September 2020, despite other political parties having held 
     similar primaries without retribution.
       (12) On April 22, 2021, a Hong Kong court convicted Choy 
     Yuk-ling, a video producer with Radio Television Hong Kong, 
     in relation to her investigative reporting on the Hong Kong 
     police.
       (13) On June 24, 2021, Apple Daily, Hong Kong's only 
     surviving pro-democracy newspaper, published its final 
     edition following months of intimidation and repression by 
     the HKSAR Government, including through the arrest of its 
     senior editors, police raids on its offices, and the freezing 
     of its financial assets.
       (b) Statement of Congress.--Congress--
       (1) condemns the actions taken by the Government of the 
     People's Republic of China (``PRC'') and the Government of 
     the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (``HKSAR''), 
     including the adoption and implementation of national 
     security legislation for Hong Kong through irregular 
     procedures, that violate the rights and freedoms of the 
     people of Hong Kong that are guaranteed by the Joint 
     Declaration and its implementing document, the Basic Law;

[[Page H478]]

       (2) reaffirms its support for the people of Hong Kong, who 
     face grave threats to their rights and freedoms;
       (3) calls on the Governments of the PRC and HKSAR to--
       (A) respect and uphold--
       (i) commitments made to the international community and the 
     people of Hong Kong under the Joint Declaration; and
       (ii) the judicial independence of the Hong Kong legal 
     system; and
       (B) release pro-democracy activists and politicians 
     arrested under the national security law; and
       (4) encourages the President, the Secretary of State, and 
     the Secretary of the Treasury to coordinate with allies and 
     partners and continue United States efforts to respond to 
     developments in Hong Kong, including by--
       (A) providing protection for Hong Kong residents who fear 
     persecution;
       (B) supporting those who may seek to file a case before the 
     International Court of Justice to hold the Government of the 
     PRC accountable for violating its binding legal commitments 
     under the Joint Declaration;
       (C) encouraging allies and partner countries to instruct, 
     as appropriate, their respective representatives to the 
     United Nations to use their voice, vote, and influence to 
     press for the appointment of a United Nations special mandate 
     holder to monitor and report on human rights developments in 
     Hong Kong;
       (D) ensuring the private sector, particularly United States 
     companies with economic interests in Hong Kong, is aware of 
     risks the national security legislation poses to the security 
     of United States citizens and to the medium and long-term 
     interest of United States businesses in Hong Kong;
       (E) continuing to implement sanctions authorities, 
     especially authorities recently enacted to address actions 
     undermining the rights and freedoms of the Hong Kong people, 
     such as the Hong Kong Autonomy Act (Public Law 116-149) and 
     the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act of 2019 (Public 
     Law 116-76), with respect to officials of the Chinese 
     Communist Party, the Government of the PRC, or the Government 
     of the HKSAR who are responsible for undermining such rights 
     and freedoms; and
       (F) coordinating with allies and partners to ensure that 
     such implementation of sanctions is multilateral.

     SEC. 30302. AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS FOR PROMOTION OF 
                   DEMOCRACY IN HONG KONG.

       (a) Authorization of Appropriations.--There is authorized 
     to be appropriated $10,000,000 for fiscal year 2022 for the 
     Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor of the 
     Department of State to promote democracy in Hong Kong.
       (b) Administration.--The Secretary of State shall designate 
     an office with the Department of State to administer and 
     coordinate the provision of such funds described in 
     subsection (a) within the Department of State and across the

     SEC. 30303. HONG KONG PEOPLE'S FREEDOM AND CHOICE.

       (a) Definitions.--For purposes of this section:
       (1) Joint declaration.--The term ``Joint Declaration'' 
     means the Joint Declaration of the Government of the United 
     Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the 
     Government of the People's Republic of China on the Question 
     of Hong Kong, signed on December 19, 1984, and entered into 
     force on May 27, 1985.
       (2) Priority hong kong resident.--The term ``Priority Hong 
     Kong resident'' means--
       (A) a permanent resident of Hong Kong who--
       (i) holds no right to citizenship in any country or 
     jurisdiction other than the People's Republic of China 
     (referred to in this section as the ``PRC''), Hong Kong, or 
     Macau as of the date of enactment of this Act;
       (ii) has resided in Hong Kong for not less than the last 
     ten years as of the date of enactment of this Act; and
       (iii) has been designated by the Secretary of State or 
     Secretary of Homeland Security as having met the requirements 
     of this subparagraph, in accordance with the procedures 
     described in subsection (f) of this section; or
       (B) the spouse of a person described in subparagraph (A), 
     or the child of such person as such term is defined in 
     section 101(b)(1) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 
     U.S.C. 1101(b)(1)), except that a child shall be an unmarried 
     person under twenty-seven years of age.
       (3) Hong kong national security law.--The term ``Hong Kong 
     National Security Law'' means the Law of the People's 
     Republic of China on Safeguarding National Security in the 
     Hong Kong Special Administrative Region that was passed 
     unanimously by the National People's Congress and signed by 
     President Xi Jinping on June 30, 2020, and promulgated in the 
     Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (referred to in this 
     section as ``Hong Kong SAR'') on July 1, 2020.
       (4) Appropriate congressional committees.--The term 
     ``appropriate congressional committees'' means--
       (A) the Committee on Foreign Affairs and the Committee on 
     the Judiciary of the House of Representatives; and
       (B) the Committee on Foreign Relations and the Committee on 
     the Judiciary of the Senate.
       (b) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) The Hong Kong National Security Law promulgated on July 
     1, 2020--
       (A) contravenes the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special 
     Administrative Region (referred to in this Act as ``the Basic 
     Law'') that provides in Article 23 that the Legislative 
     Council of Hong Kong shall enact legislation related to 
     national security;
       (B) violates the PRC's commitments under international law, 
     as defined by the Joint Declaration; and
       (C) causes severe and irreparable damage to the ``one 
     country, two systems'' principle and further erodes global 
     confidence in the PRC's commitment to international law.
       (2) On July 14, 2020, in response to the promulgation of 
     the Hong Kong National Security Law, President Trump signed 
     an Executive order on Hong Kong normalization that, among 
     other policy actions, suspended the special treatment of Hong 
     Kong persons under U.S. law with respect to the issuance of 
     immigrant and nonimmigrant visas.
       (3) The United States has a long and proud history as a 
     destination for refugees and asylees fleeing persecution 
     based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or 
     membership in a particular social group.
       (4) The United States also shares deep social, cultural, 
     and economic ties with the people of Hong Kong, including a 
     shared commitment to democracy, to the rule of law, and to 
     the protection of human rights.
       (5) The United States has sheltered, protected, and 
     welcomed individuals who have fled authoritarian regimes, 
     including citizens from the PRC following the violent June 4, 
     1989, crackdown in Tiananmen Square, deepening ties between 
     the people of the United States and those individuals seeking 
     to contribute to a free, open society founded on democracy, 
     human rights, and the respect for the rule of law.
       (6) The United States has reaped enormous economic, 
     cultural, and strategic benefits from welcoming successive 
     generations of scientists, doctors, entrepreneurs, artists, 
     intellectuals, and other freedom-loving people fleeing 
     fascism, communism, violent Islamist extremism, and other 
     repressive ideologies, including in the cases of Nazi 
     Germany, the Soviet Union, and Soviet-controlled Central 
     Europe, Cuba, Vietnam, and Iran.
       (7) A major asymmetric advantage of the United States in 
     its long-term strategic competition with the Communist Party 
     of China is the ability of people from every country in the 
     world, irrespective of their race, ethnicity, or religion, to 
     immigrate to the United States and become American citizens.
       (c) Statement of Policy.--It is the policy of the United 
     States--
       (1) to reaffirm the principles and objectives set forth in 
     the United States-Hong Kong Policy Act of 1992 (Public Law 
     102-383), specifically that--
       (A) the United States has ``a strong interest in the 
     continued vitality, prosperity, and stability of Hong Kong'';
       (B) ``support for democratization is a fundamental 
     principle of United States foreign policy'', and therefore 
     ``naturally applies to United States policy toward Hong 
     Kong'';
       (C) ``the human rights of the people of Hong Kong are of 
     great importance to the United States and are directly 
     relevant to United States interests in Hong Kong and serve as 
     a basis for Hong Kong's continued economic prosperity''; and
       (D) Hong Kong must remain sufficiently autonomous from the 
     PRC to ``justify treatment under a particular law of the 
     United States, or any provision thereof, different from that 
     accorded the People's Republic of China'';
       (2) to continue to support the high degree of autonomy and 
     fundamental rights and freedoms of the people of Hong Kong, 
     as enumerated by--
       (A) the Joint Declaration;
       (B) the International Covenant on Civil and Political 
     Rights, done at New York, December 19, 1966; and
       (C) the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, done at 
     Paris, December 10, 1948;
       (3) to continue to support the democratic aspirations of 
     the people of Hong Kong, including the ``ultimate aim'' of 
     the selection of the Chief Executive and all members of the 
     Legislative Council by universal suffrage, as articulated in 
     the Basic Law;
       (4) to urge the Government of the PRC, despite its recent 
     actions, to uphold its commitments to Hong Kong, including 
     allowing the people of Hong Kong to govern Hong Kong with a 
     high degree of autonomy and without undue interference, and 
     ensuring that Hong Kong voters freely enjoy the right to 
     elect the Chief Executive and all members of the Hong Kong 
     Legislative Council by universal suffrage;
       (5) to support the establishment of a genuine democratic 
     option to freely and fairly nominate and elect the Chief 
     Executive of Hong Kong, and the establishment of open and 
     direct democratic elections for all members of the Hong Kong 
     Legislative Council;
       (6) to support the robust exercise by residents of Hong 
     Kong of the rights to free speech, the press, and other 
     fundamental freedoms, as provided by the Basic Law, the Joint 
     Declaration, and the International Covenant on Civil and 
     Political Rights;
       (7) to support freedom from arbitrary or unlawful arrest, 
     detention, or imprisonment for all Hong Kong residents, as 
     provided by the Basic Law, the Joint Declaration, and the 
     International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights;
       (8) to draw international attention to any violations by 
     the Government of the PRC of the fundamental rights of the 
     people of Hong Kong, as provided by the International 
     Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and any encroachment 
     upon the autonomy guaranteed to Hong Kong by the Basic Law 
     and the Joint Declaration;
       (9) to protect United States citizens and long-term 
     permanent residents living in Hong Kong, as well as people 
     visiting and transiting through Hong Kong;
       (10) to maintain the economic and cultural ties that 
     provide significant benefits to both the United States and 
     Hong Kong, including the reinstatement of the Fulbright 
     exchange program with regard to Hong Kong at the earliest 
     opportunity;

[[Page H479]]

       (11) to coordinate with allies, including the United 
     Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Japan, and the Republic of Korea, 
     to promote democracy and human rights in Hong Kong; and
       (12) to welcome and protect in the United States residents 
     of Hong Kong fleeing persecution or otherwise seeking a safe 
     haven from violations by the Government of the PRC of the 
     fundamental rights of the people of Hong Kong.

       (A) was a permanent resident of Hong Kong at the time such

     protected status pursuant to the designation made under 
     paragraph (1) if the alien establishes to the satisfaction of

     extenuating circumstances beyond the control of the alien 
     require the alien to depart for a brief, temporary trip 
     abroad.
       (B) Treatment upon return.--An alien returning to the

     States Code, the rule shall be effective, on an interim 
     basis, immediately upon publication, but may be subject to 
     change and revision after public notice and opportunity for 
     comment. The Secretary of State shall finalize such rule not 
     later than one year after the date of the enactment of this

     haven to Hong Kong SAR residents who are nationals of the PRC 
     following the enactment of the Hong Kong National Security 
     Law that places certain Hong Kong persons at risk of 
     persecution; and
       (B) to encourage like-minded nations to make similar 
     accommodations for Hong Kong people fleeing persecution by 
     the Government of the PRC.
       (2) Plan.--The Secretary of State, in consultation with the 
     heads of other Federal agencies, as appropriate, shall

     and individuals with a fear of, persecution in Hong Kong, 
     either by Hong Kong authorities or other authorities acting 
     on behalf of the PRC;
       (B) enhance protocols to facilitate the resettlement of 
     refugees and displaced persons from Hong Kong;
       (C) identify and prevent the exploitation of immigration 
     and visa policies and procedures by corrupt officials; and
       (D) expedite the sharing of information, as appropriate, 
     related to the refusal of individual applications for visas 
     or other travel documents submitted by residents of the Hong 
     Kong SAR based on--
       (i) national security or related grounds under section 
     212(a)(3) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 
     1182(a)(3)); or
       (ii) fraud or misrepresentation under section 212(a)(6)(C)

     1157) or asylum under section 208 of such Act (8 U.S.C. 
     1158), that such alien has a well-founded fear of persecution 
     on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a 
     particular social group, or political opinion by asserting 
     such a fear and a credible basis for concern about the 
     possibility of such persecution.

     violent in nature; or
       (III) has had their citizenship, nationality, or residency 
     revoked for having submitted to any United States Government 
     agency a nonfrivolous application for refugee status, asylum,

     alien described in clause (i); or
       (iii) is the parent of an alien described in clause (i), if 
     such parent is a citizen of the PRC and no other foreign 
     state.
       (B) Other categories.--The Secretary of Homeland Security, 
     in consultation with the

[[Page H480]]

     Secretary of State, may designate other categories of aliens 
     for purposes of establishing a well-founded fear of 
     persecution under paragraph (1) if such aliens share common 
     characteristics that identify them as targets of persecution 
     in the PRC on account of race, religion, nationality, 
     membership in a particular social group, or political 
     opinion.
       (C) Significant role.--For purposes of subclause (I) of

     detained, or convicted as a result of such participation.
       (3) Age out protections.--For purposes of this subsection, 
     a determination of whether an alien is a child shall be made

     refugee or asylum status in which the alien is a named 
     beneficiary is filed with the Secretary of Homeland Security.
       (4) Exclusion from numerical limitations.--Aliens provided 
     refugee status under this subsection shall not be counted

       (2) Aliens described.--
       (A) Principal aliens.--An alien is described in this

     may not exceed 5,000 per year for each of the five fiscal 
     years beginning after the date of the enactment of this Act. 
     The Secretary of Homeland Security may, in consultation with 
     the Secretary of State, prioritize the issuance of visas to

     technology, engineering, mathematics, medicine, or health 
     care.
       (B) Exclusion from numerical limitations.--Aliens provided 
     immigrant status under this section shall not be counted

     or 207 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1151, 
     1152, 1153, and 1157).
       (4) Eligibility for admission under other classification.--
     No alien shall be denied the opportunity to apply for 
     admission under this section solely because such alien 
     qualifies as an immediate relative or is eligible for any 
     other immigrant classification.
       (5) Timeline for processing applications.--
       (A) In general.--The Secretary of State and the Secretary

     designee of the Secretary, has determined that the applicant 
     meets the requirements for status as a special immigrant 
     under this section and has so notified the applicant.

     SEC. 30304. EXPORT PROHIBITION OF MUNITIONS ITEMS TO THE HONG 
                   KONG POLICE FORCE.

       Section 3 of the Act entitled ``An Act to prohibit the 
     commercial export of covered munitions items to the Hong Kong 
     Police Force'', approved November 27, 2019 (Public Law 116-
     77; 133 Stat. 1173), is amended by striking ``on December 31, 
     2021.'' and inserting the following: ``on the date on which 
     the President certifies to the appropriate congressional 
     committees that--
       ``(1) the Secretary of State has, on or after the date of 
     the enactment of this paragraph, certified under section 205 
     of the United States-Hong Kong Policy Act of 1992 that Hong 
     Kong warrants treatment under United States law in the same 
     manner as United States laws were applied to Hong Kong before 
     July 1, 1997;
       ``(2) the Hong Kong Police have not engaged in gross 
     violations of human rights during the 1-year period ending on 
     the date of such certification; and
       ``(3) there has been an independent examination of human 
     rights concerns related to the crowd control tactics of the 
     Hong Kong Police and the Government of the Hong Kong Special 
     Administrative Region has adequately addressed those 
     concerns.''.

     SEC. 30305. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON TREATMENT OF UYGHURS AND 
                   OTHER ETHNIC MINORITIES IN THE XINJIANG UYGHUR 
                   AUTONOMOUS REGION.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The Uyghurs are one of several predominantly Muslim 
     Turkic groups living in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region 
     (XUAR) in the northwest of the People's Republic of China 
     (PRC).
       (2) Following Uyghur demonstrations and unrest in 2009 and 
     clashes with government security personnel and other violent 
     incidents in subsequent years, PRC leaders sought to 
     ``stabilize'' the XUAR through large-scale arrests and 
     extreme security measures, under the pretext of combatting 
     alleged terrorism, religious extremism, and ethnic 
     separatism.
       (3) In May 2014, the PRC launched its ``Strike Hard Against 
     Violent Extremism'' campaign, which placed further 
     restrictions on and facilitated additional human rights 
     violations against minorities in the XUAR under the pretext 
     of fighting terrorism.
       (4) In August 2016, Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Politburo 
     member Chen Quanguo, former Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) 
     Party Secretary, known for overseeing intensifying security 
     operations and human rights abuses in the TAR, was appointed 
     as Party Secretary of the XUAR.
       (5) Beginning in 2017, XUAR authorities have sought to 
     forcibly ``assimilate'' Uyghurs and other Turkic minorities 
     into Chinese society through a policy of cultural erasure 
     known as ``Sinicization''.
       (6) Since 2018, credible reporting including from the BBC, 
     France24, and the New York Times has shown that the 
     Government of the PRC has built mass internment camps in the 
     XUAR, which it calls ``vocational training'' centers, and 
     detained Uyghurs and other groups in them and other 
     facilities.
       (7) Since 2015, XUAR authorities have arbitrarily detained 
     an estimated 1,500,000 Uyghurs--12.5 percent of the XUAR's 
     official Uyghur population of 12,000,000--and a smaller 
     number of other ethnic minorities in the ``vocational 
     training'' centers and other detention and pre-detention 
     facilities.
       (8) In 2017, the XUAR accounted for less than two percent 
     of the PRC's total population but 21 percent of all arrests 
     in China.
       (9) The Atlantic, Radio Free Asia, and other sources have 
     revealed that detainees are forced to renounce many of their 
     Islamic beliefs and customs and repudiate Uyghur culture, 
     language, and identity.
       (10) Investigations by Human Rights Watch and other human 
     rights organizations have documented how detainees are 
     subject to political indoctrination, forced labor, crowded 
     and unsanitary conditions, involuntary biometric data 
     collection, both medical neglect and intrusive medical 
     interventions, food and water deprivation, beatings, sexual 
     violence, and torture.
       (11) Research by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute 
     suggests that, since late 2019, many detainees have been 
     placed in higher security facilities and convicted of formal 
     crimes.
       (12) Human Rights Watch has reported that the PRC uses data 
     collection programs, including facial recognition technology, 
     to surveil

[[Page H481]]

     Uyghurs in the XUAR and to identify individuals whom 
     authorities may detain.
       (13) PRC authorities have placed countless children whose 
     parents are detained or in exile in state-run institutions 
     and boarding schools without the consent of their parents.
       (14) New York Times reporting revealed that numerous local 
     PRC officials who did not agree with the policies carried out 
     in XUAR have been fired and imprisoned.
       (15) Associated Press reporting documented widespread and 
     systemic efforts by PRC authorities to force Uyghur women to 
     take contraceptives or to subject them to sterilization or 
     abortion, threatening to detain those who do not comply.
       (16) PRC authorities prohibit family members and advocates 
     inside and outside China from having regular communications 
     with relatives and friends imprisoned in the XUAR, such as 
     journalist and entrepreneur Ekpar Asat.
       (17) PRC authorities have imposed pervasive restrictions on 
     the peaceful practice of Islam in the XUAR, to the extent 
     that Human Rights Watch asserts the PRC ``has effectively 
     outlawed the practice of Islam''.
       (18) Individuals who are not detained in camps have been 
     forced to attend political indoctrination sessions, subjected 
     to movement restrictions, mass surveillance systems, 
     involuntary biometric data collection, and other human rights 
     abuses.
       (19) International media, nongovernmental organizations, 
     scholars, families, and survivors have reported on the 
     systemic nature of many of these abuses.
       (20) On June 26, 2020, a group of 50 independent United 
     Nations experts jointly expressed alarm over China's 
     deteriorating human rights record, including its repression 
     in Xinjiang, and called on the international community ``to 
     act collectively and decisively to ensure China respects 
     human rights and abides by its international obligations''.
       (21) On October 6, 2020, 39 United Nations member countries 
     issued a public statement condemning human rights violations 
     by PRC authorities and calling on the PRC to allow the United 
     Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights unfettered access 
     to Xinjiang.
       (22) The United States Congress passed the Uyghur Human 
     Rights Policy Act of 2020 (Public Law 116-145).
       (23) The United States Congress passed the Global Magnitsky 
     Human Rights Accountability Act (subtitle F of title XII of 
     Public Law 114-328; 22 U.S.C. 2656 note), which has been used 
     to sanction PRC officials and entities for their activities 
     in the XUAR.
       (24) The United States Government has implemented 
     additional targeted restrictions on trade with Xinjiang and 
     imposed visa and economic sanctions on PRC officials and 
     entities for their activities in the XUAR.
       (25) The United States Government has documented human 
     rights abuses and violations of individual freedoms in the 
     XUAR, including in the 2019 Department of State Report on 
     International Religious Freedom.
       (26) On January 19, 2021, during his confirmation hearing, 
     Secretary of State Antony Blinken testified that ``forcing 
     men, women, and children into concentration camps, trying to 
     in effect reeducate them to be adherents to the Chinese 
     Communist Party--all of that speaks to an effort to commit 
     genocide''.
       (27) On January 19, 2021, Secretary of the Treasury Janet 
     L. Yellen, during her confirmation hearing, publicly stated 
     that China is guilty of ``horrendous human rights abuses''.
       (28) On January 27, 2021, in response to a question from 
     the press regarding the Uyghurs, Secretary Blinken stated 
     that his ``judgement remains that genocide was committed 
     against the Uyghurs''.
       (29) On March 10, 2021, in response to a question on 
     Xinjiang during his testimony before the Committee on Foreign 
     Affairs of the House of Representatives, Secretary Blinken 
     reiterated, ``We`ve been clear, and I've been clear, that I 
     see it as genocide, other egregious abuses of human rights, 
     and we'll continue to make that clear.''.
       (30) The 2020 Department of State Country Reports on Human 
     Rights Practices: China states that ``[g]enocide and crimes 
     against humanity occurred during the year against the 
     predominantly Muslim Uyghurs and other ethnic and religious 
     minority groups in Xinjiang''.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the atrocities committed by the PRC against Uyghurs and 
     other predominantly Muslim Turkic groups in Xinjiang, 
     including forced labor, sexual violence, the internment of 
     over 1,000,000 individuals, and other horrific abuses must be 
     condemned;
       (2) the President, the Secretary of State, and the United 
     States Ambassador to the United Nations should speak publicly 
     about the ongoing human rights abuses in the XUAR, including 
     in formal speeches at the United Nations and other 
     international fora;
       (3) the President, the Secretary of State, and the United 
     States Ambassador to the United Nations should appeal to the 
     United Nations Secretary-General to take a more proactive and 
     public stance on the situation in the XUAR, including by 
     supporting calls for an investigation and accountability for 
     individuals and entities involved in abuses against the 
     people of the XUAR;
       (4) the United States should continue to use targeted 
     sanctions and all diplomatic tools available to hold those 
     responsible for the atrocities in Xinjiang to account;
       (5) United States agencies engaged with China on trade, 
     climate, defense, or other bilateral issues should include 
     human rights abuses in the XUAR as a consideration in 
     developing United States policy;
       (6) the United States supports Radio Free Asia Uyghur, the 
     only Uyghur-language news service in the world independent of 
     Chinese government influence; and
       (7) the United States recognizes the repeated requests from 
     the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights for 
     unfettered access to the XUAR and the PRC's refusal to 
     comply, and therefore--
       (A) PRC authorities must allow unfettered access by the 
     United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human 
     Rights to the XUAR;
       (B) the United States should urge collaborative action 
     between the United States Government and international 
     partners to pressure PRC authorities to allow unfettered 
     access to the XUAR;
       (C) the President, the Secretary of State, and the United 
     States Ambassador to the United Nations should simultaneously 
     outline a strategy to investigate the human rights abuses and 
     crimes that have taken place in the XUAR, collect evidence, 
     and transfer the evidence to a competent court; and
       (D) United States partners and allies should undertake 
     similar strategies in an effort to build an international 
     investigation outside of the PRC if PRC authorities do not 
     comply with a United Nations investigation in the XUAR.

     SEC. 30306. UYGHUR HUMAN RIGHTS PROTECTION.

       (a) Short Title.--This section may be cited as the ``Uyghur 
     Human Rights Protection Act''.
       (b) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The Government of the People's Republic of China (PRC) 
     has a long history of repressing Turkic Muslims and other 
     Muslim minority groups, particularly Uyghurs, in the Xinjiang 
     Uyghur Autonomous Region (commonly referred to as 
     ``Xinjiang'' or ``XUAR''), also known as East Turkestan. 
     Central and regional PRC government policies have 
     systematically discriminated against these minority groups by 
     denying them a range of civil and political rights, 
     particularly freedom of religion. Senior Chinese Communist 
     Party (CCP) officials bear direct responsibility for these 
     gross human rights violations.
       (2) PRC government abuses include the arbitrary detention 
     of more than 1,000,000 Uyghurs, ethnic Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, and 
     members of other Muslim minority groups, separation of 
     working age adults from their children and elderly parents, 
     and the integration of forced labor into supply chains. Those 
     held in detention facilities and internment camps in the XUAR 
     have described forced political indoctrination, torture, 
     beatings, food deprivation, sexual assault, coordinated 
     campaigns to reduce birth rates among Uyghurs and other 
     Turkic Muslims through forced sterilization, and denial of

                   AND GREAT FIREWALL CIRCUMVENTION TOOLS FOR THE 
                   PEOPLE OF HONG KONG.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The People's Republic of China (PRC) has repeatedly 
     violated its obligations under the Joint Declaration by 
     suppressing the basic rights and freedoms of the people of 
     Hong Kong.
       (2) On June 30, 2020, the National People's Congress passed 
     a ``National Security Law'' that further erodes Hong Kong's 
     autonomy and enables authorities to suppress dissent.
       (3) The Government of the PRC continues to utilize the 
     National Security Law to undermine the fundamental rights of 
     the Hong Kong people through suppression of the freedom of 
     speech, assembly, religion, and the press.
       (4) Article 9 of the National Security Law authorizes 
     unprecedented regulation and supervision of internet activity 
     in Hong Kong, including expanded police powers to force 
     internet service providers to censor content, hand over user 
     information, and block access to platforms.
       (5) On January 13, 2021, the Hong Kong Broadband Network 
     blocked public access to HK Chronicles, a website promoting 
     pro-democracy viewpoints, under the authorities of the 
     National Security Law.
       (6) On February 12, 2021, internet service providers 
     blocked access to the Taiwan Transitional Justice Commission 
     website in Hong Kong.
       (7) Major tech companies, including Facebook, Twitter, 
     WhatsApp and Google, have stopped reviewing requests for user 
     data from Hong Kong authorities.
       (8) On February 28, 2021, 47 pro-democracy activists in 
     Hong Kong were arrested and charged under the National 
     Security Law on the charge of ``conspiracy to commit 
     subversion''.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     the United States should--
       (1) support the ability of the people of Hong Kong to 
     maintain their freedom to access information online; and
       (2) focus on investments in technologies that facilitate 
     the unhindered exchange of information in Hong Kong in 
     advance of any future efforts by the Chinese Communist 
     Party--
       (A) to suppress internet access;
       (B) to increase online censorship; or
       (C) to inhibit online communication and content-sharing by 
     the people of Hong Kong.

     SEC. 30313. SENSE OF CONGRESS CONDEMNING ANTI-ASIAN RACISM 
                   AND DISCRIMINATION.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, crimes and 
     discrimination against Asians and those of Asian descent have 
     risen dramatically worldwide. In May 2020, United Nations 
     Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said ``the pandemic 
     continues to unleash a tsunami of hate and xenophobia, 
     scapegoating and scare-mongering'' and urged governments to 
     ``act now to strengthen the immunity of our societies against 
     the virus of hate''.
       (2) Asian American and Pacific Island (AAPI) workers make 
     up a large portion of the essential workers on the frontlines 
     of the COVID-19 pandemic, making up 8.5 percent of all 
     essential healthcare workers in the United States. AAPI 
     workers also make up a large share--between 6 percent and 12 
     percent based on sector--of the biomedical field.
       (3) The United States Census notes that Americans of Asian 
     descent alone made up nearly 5.9 percent of the United States 
     population in 2019, and that Asian Americans are the fastest-
     growing racial group in the United States, projected to 
     represent 14 percent of the United States population by 2065.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the reprehensible attacks on people of Asian descent 
     and concerning increase in anti-Asian sentiment and racism in 
     the United States and around the world have no place in a 
     peaceful, civilized, and tolerant world;
       (2) the United States is a diverse country with a proud 
     tradition of immigration, and the strength and vibrancy of 
     the United States is enhanced by the diverse ethnic 
     backgrounds and tolerance of its citizens, including Asian 
     Americans and Pacific Islanders;
       (3) the United States Government should encourage foreign 
     governments to use the official and scientific names for the 
     COVID-19 pandemic, as recommended by the World Health 
     Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and 
     Prevention; and
       (4) the United States Government and other governments 
     around the world must actively oppose racism and intolerance, 
     and use all available and appropriate tools to combat the 
     spread of anti-Asian racism and discrimination.

     SEC. 30314. ANNUAL REPORTING ON CENSORSHIP OF FREE SPEECH 
                   WITH RESPECT TO INTERNATIONAL ABUSES OF HUMAN 
                   RIGHTS.

       Section 116(d) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (227 
     U.S.C. 2151n(d)) is amended--
       (1) in paragraph (11)(C), by striking ``and'' at the end;
       (2) in paragraph (12)(C)(ii), by striking the period at the 
     end and inserting a semicolon; and
       (3) by adding at the end the following:
       ``(13) wherever applicable, instances in which the 
     government of each country has attempted to 
     extraterritorially intimidate or pressure a company or entity 
     to censor or self-censor the speech of its employees, 
     contractors, customers, or associated staff with regards to 
     the abuse of human rights in such country, or sought 
     retaliation against such employees or contractors for the 
     same, including any instance in which the Government of the 
     People's Republic of China has sought to extraterritorially 
     censor or punish speech that is otherwise legal in the United 
     States on the topics of--
       ``(A) repression and violation of fundamental freedoms in 
     Hong Kong;
       ``(B) repression and persecution of religious and ethnic 
     minorities in China, including in the Xinjiang Uyghur 
     Autonomous Region and the Tibet Autonomous Region;
       ``(C) efforts to proliferate and use surveillance 
     technologies to surveil activists, journalists, opposition 
     politicians, or to profile persons of different ethnicities; 
     and
       ``(D) other gross violations of human rights; and
       ``(14) wherever applicable, instances in which a company or 
     entity located in or based in a third country has censored or 
     self-censored the speech of its employees, contractors, 
     customers, or associated staff on the topic of abuse of human 
     rights in each country or sought to retaliate against such 
     employees for the same, due to intimidation or pressure from 
     or the fear of intimidation by the foreign government.''.

     SEC. 30315. POLICY TOWARD THE XXIV OLYMPIC WINTER GAMES AND 
                   THE XIII PARALYMPIC WINTER GAMES.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) In October 2020, 39 countries at the United Nations 
     Third Committee of the General Assembly appealed for action 
     on the mass arbitrary detentions and other crimes against the 
     Uyghur Muslim population of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous 
     Region.
       (2) The 2018 concluding observations of the United Nations 
     Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination decried 
     reports of mass arbitrary detention of Uyghurs.
       (3) Over 400 international nongovernmental organizations 
     have joined together to decry the

[[Page H485]]

     mass arbitrary detentions of Uyghurs in the Xinjiang Uyghur 
     Autonomous Region.
       (4) The Olympic Charter states that the practice of sport 
     ``is a human right'' that ``shall be secured without 
     discrimination of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, sexual 
     orientation, language, religion, political or other opinion, 
     national or social origin, property, birth or other status'', 
     a right that by definition cannot be secured in a country in 
     which over 1,000,000 people are imprisoned in camps because 
     of their race, language, and religion.
       (5) The 2008 Olympics in Beijing were accompanied by 
     widespread tracking, arrest, and intimidation of foreign 
     journalists and bloggers, as well as restrictions on movement 
     of journalists, contrary to explicit commitments made by the 
     Government of the People's Republic of China (PRC) to the 
     International Olympic Committee.
       (6) The Government of the PRC denied visas for some 
     journalists granted press accreditation for the 2008 Olympic 
     Games, and the Beijing Organising Committee of the Olympic 
     Games repeatedly refused to address incidents involving 
     freedom of expression.
       (7) The International Olympic Committee faced broad 
     criticism for failing to adequately anticipate infringements 
     by the Government of the PRC's on freedom of expression and 
     press for international media and 2008 Olympics participants, 
     and failing to hold the Government of the PRC to their own 
     commitments to safeguard human rights during the 2008 games.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     the International Olympic Committee should--
       (1) consider that the Olympic Charter's principles of 
     solidarity and nondiscrimination are hard to reconcile with 
     holding the 2022 Winter Games in a country the government of 
     which stands credibly accused of perpetrating crimes against 
     humanity and genocide against ethnic and religious 
     minorities;
       (2) take into account the recent precedent of the 2008 
     games, at which Olympic athletes, spectators, and 
     international media had their fundamental freedoms severely 
     challenged, and the likely limitations the Government of the 
     PRC will seek to enforce on participants speaking out about 
     ongoing persecution of the Uyghurs and other human rights 
     abuses in the PRC, despite repeated commitments by the 
     Government of the PRC;
       (3) emphasize that the International Olympic Committee is 
     not opposed to moving an Olympic competition in all 
     circumstances, and should immediately rebid the 2022 Winter 
     Olympic Games to be hosted by a country that recognizes and 
     respects human rights;
       (4) affirm the International Olympic Committee's--
       (A) desire to stay above politics does not permit turning a 
     blind eye to mass atrocity crimes, which cannot and should 
     not be dismissed as mere political concerns; and
       (B) commitment to the fundamental rights instruments of the 
     international system, which are beyond partisan or domestic 
     policy, and upon which the success of the entire Olympic 
     project depends;
       (5) propose a set of clear, executable actions to be taken 
     by the International Olympic Committee upon infringement of 
     freedom of expression by a host country's government during 
     any Olympics event, including the 2022 Winter Olympics, 
     against athletes, participants, and international media; and
       (6) rescind Rule 50 of the Olympic Charter, which restricts 
     the freedom of expression by athletes when competing during 
     Olympics events, and affirm the rights of athletes to 
     political and other speech during athletic competitions, 
     including speech that is critical of their host countries.
       (c) Statement of Policy.--It shall be the policy of the 
     United States--
       (1) to implement a presidential and cabinet level 
     diplomatic boycott of the XXIV Olympic Winter Games and the 
     XIII Paralympic Winter Games in the PRC;
       (2) to encourage other nations, especially democratic 
     partners and allies, to do the same; and
       (3) to call for an end to the Chinese Communist Party's 
     ongoing human rights abuses, including the Uyghur genocide.

     imposed on additional items, including items with critical

     export, reexport, or in-country transfer of certain items 
     with critical capabilities to enable human rights abuses that 
     are subject to the Export Administration Regulations if the 
     person seeking to export, reexport, or transfer the item has 
     knowledge, or the Secretary determines and so informs that 
     person, that the end-user or ultimate consignee will use the 
     item to enable human rights abuses.
       (d) Cooperation of Other Agencies.--Upon request from the 
     Secretary, the head of a Federal agency shall provide full 
     support and cooperation to the Secretary in carrying out this 
     section.

     Representatives and the Select Committee on Intelligence of 
     the Senate) a report on the matters covered by this section. 
     The report shall be submitted in unclassified form, but may 
     include a classified annex.
       (g) Conforming Amendment.--Section 1752(2)(A) of the Export

     government of which has been designated pursuant to any

     of throughout the country through many means including 
     through mass censorship of the Internet, the Great Firewall, 
     radical curtailment of the freedom of the press.
       (2) The PRC employs several other means to stifle dissent

     speech.

       It is the sense of Congress that the Department of State's

     include relevant information regarding whether a particular 
     country has provided assistance to the PRC or any entity 
     under the influence of the Chinese Communist Party in its 
     genocide against the Uyghurs, including through the forcible

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds that the People's Republic of 
     China maintains one of the worst media environments in the 
     world and seeks to curtail political speech inside and 
     outside the country, including by--
       (1) targeting independent and foreign media in China 
     through systematic harassment including the denial of visas 
     to foreign journalists, imprisonment, the denial of medical 
     care to imprisoned journalists, and curtailing access to 
     legal representation;
       (2) pervasively monitoring and censoring online and social 
     media content, including through the banning of virtual 
     private networks;
       (3) using the full force of the State to stifle internal 
     dissent including dissent online, particularly dissent that 
     could lead to political change and content that criticizes 
     China's leaders, however trivial, reportedly even to the 
     point of censoring comparisons of Xi Jingping's looks with 
     Winnie the Pooh;
       (4) spreading propaganda to foreign audiences through the 
     United Front Work Department and related activities;
       (5) seeking to intimidate American-based journalists 
     working for Radio Free Asia and reporting on gross human 
     rights violations in China's Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous 
     Region by jailing or otherwise harassing members of their 
     families; and
       (6) championing a ``sovereign Internet'' model and 
     exporting technology to enhance the ability of like-minded 
     authoritarian regimes to suppress dissent online and monitor 
     the activity of their people.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the freedom of the press is an unalienable right that 
     is necessary for citizens to hold their government to 
     account;
       (2) the PRC should cease its repression of journalists, 
     citizen journalists, news organizations; and
       (3) the PRC should cease the censorship of political 
     satire, including comparisons of Xi Jingping's looks with 
     Winnie the Pooh.

             TITLE IV--INVESTING IN OUR ECONOMIC STATECRAFT

     SEC. 30401. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC 
                   OF CHINA'S INDUSTRIAL POLICY.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the challenges presented by a nonmarket economy like 
     the economy of the People's Republic of China (PRC), which 
     has captured such a large share of global economic exchange, 
     are in many ways unprecedented and require sufficiently 
     elevated and sustained long-term focus and engagement;
       (2) in order to truly address the most detrimental aspects 
     of Chinese Communist Party (CCP)-directed mercantilist 
     economic strategy, the United States must adopt policies 
     that--
       (A) expose the full scope and scale of intellectual 
     property theft and mass subsidization of Chinese firms, and 
     the resulting harm to the United States, foreign markets, and 
     the global economy;
       (B) ensure that PRC companies face costs and consequences 
     for anticompetitive behavior;
       (C) provide options for affected United States persons to 
     address and respond to unreasonable and discriminatory CCP-
     directed industrial policies; and
       (D) strengthen the protection of critical technology and 
     sensitive data, while still fostering an environment that 
     provides incentives for secure but open investment, 
     innovation, and competition;
       (3) the United States must work with its allies and 
     partners and multilateral venues and fora--
       (A) to reinforce long-standing generally accepted 
     principles of fair competition and market behavior and 
     address the PRC's anticompetitive economic and industrial 
     policies that undermine decades of global growth and 
     innovation;
       (B) to ensure that the PRC is not granted the same 
     treatment as that of a free-market economy until it ceases 
     the implementation of laws, regulations, policies, and 
     practices that provide unfair advantage to PRC firms in 
     furtherance of national objectives and impose unreasonable, 
     discriminatory, and illegal burdens on market-based 
     international commerce; and
       (C) to align policies with respect to curbing state-
     directed subsidization of the private sector, such as 
     advocating for global rules related to transparency and 
     adherence to notification requirements, including through the 
     efforts currently being advanced by the United States, Japan, 
     and the European Union;
       (4) the United States and its allies and partners must 
     collaborate to provide incentives to their respective 
     companies to cooperate in areas such as--
       (A) advocating for protection of intellectual property 
     rights in markets around the world;
       (B) fostering open technical standards; and
       (C) increasing joint investments in overseas markets; and
       (5) the United States should develop policies that--
       (A) insulate United States entities from PRC pressure 
     against complying with United States laws;

[[Page H488]]

       (B) together with the work of allies and partners and 
     multilateral institutions, counter the potential impact of 
     the blocking regime of the PRC established by the Ministry of 
     Commerce of the PRC on January 9, 2021, when it issued Order 
     No. 1 of 2021, entitled ``Rules on Counteracting Unjustified 
     Extraterritorial Application of Foreign Legislation and other

     improving plans and strategies by the country for reducing 
     vulnerabilities and improving responses to such measures in 
     the future.
       (5) Assisting the partner country in dealing with foreign 
     sovereign investment in infrastructure or related projects 
     that may undermine the partner country's sovereignty.
       (6) Assisting the partner country in responding to specific 
     efforts from an adversary attempting to employ economic 
     coercion that undermines the partner country's sovereignty, 
     including efforts in the cyber domain, such as efforts that 
     undermine cybersecurity or digital security of the partner 
     country or initiatives that introduce digital technologies in 
     a manner that undermines freedom, security, and sovereignty 
     of the partner country.
       (7) Otherwise providing direct and relevant short-to-medium 
     term economic or other assistance from the United States and 
     marshalling other resources in support of effective responses 
     to such measures.

     SEC. 30403. COUNTERING OVERSEAS KLEPTOCRACY.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) Authoritarian leaders in foreign countries abuse their 
     power to steal assets from state institutions, enrich 
     themselves at the expense of their countries' economic 
     development, and use corruption as a strategic tool both to 
     solidify their grip on power and to undermine democratic 
     institutions abroad.
       (2) Global corruption harms the competitiveness of United 
     States businesses, weakens democratic governance, feeds 
     terrorist recruitment and transnational organized crime, 
     enables drug smuggling and human trafficking, and stymies 
     economic growth.
       (3) Illicit financial flows often penetrate countries 
     through what appear to be legitimate financial transactions, 
     as kleptocrats launder money, use shell companies, amass 
     offshore wealth, and participate in a global shadow economy.
       (4) The Government of the Russian Federation is a leading 
     model of this type of kleptocratic system, using state-
     sanctioned corruption to both erode democratic governance 
     from within and discredit democracy abroad, thereby 
     strengthening the authoritarian rule of Vladimir Putin.
       (5) Corrupt individuals and entities in the Russian 
     Federation, often with the backing and encouragement of 
     political leadership, use stolen money--
       (A) to purchase key assets in other countries, often with a 
     goal of attaining monopolistic control of a sector;
       (B) to gain access to and influence the policies of other 
     countries; and
       (C) to advance Russian interests in other countries, 
     particularly those that undermine confidence and trust in 
     democratic systems.
       (6) Systemic corruption in the People's Republic of China 
     (PRC), often tied to, directed by, or backed by the 
     leadership of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the 
     Government of the PRC is used--
       (A) to provide unfair advantage to certain PRC economic 
     entities;
       (B) to increase other countries' economic dependence on the 
     PRC to secure greater deference to the PRC's diplomatic and 
     strategic goals; and
       (C) to exploit corruption in foreign governments and among 
     other political elites to enable PRC state-backed firms to 
     pursue predatory and exploitative economic practices.
       (7) Thwarting these tactics by Russian, Chinese, and other 
     kleptocratic actors requires the international community to 
     strengthen democratic governance and the rule of law. 
     International cooperation in combating corruption and illicit 
     finance is vital to such efforts, especially by empowering 
     reformers in foreign countries during historic political 
     openings for the establishment of the rule of law in those 
     countries.
       (8) Technical assistance programs that combat corruption 
     and strengthen the rule of law, including through assistance 
     provided by the Department of State's Bureau of International 
     Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs and the United States 
     Agency for International Development, and through programs 
     like the Department of Justice's Office of Overseas 
     Prosecutorial Development, Assistance and Training and the 
     International Criminal Investigative Training Assistance 
     Program, can have lasting and significant impacts for both 
     foreign and United States interests.
       (9) There currently exist numerous international 
     instruments to combat corruption, kleptocracy, and illicit 
     finance, including--
       (A) the Inter-American Convention against Corruption of the 
     Organization of American States, done at Caracas March 29, 
     1996;
       (B) the Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public 
     Officials in International Business Transactions of the 
     Organisation of Economic Co-operation and Development, done 
     at Paris December 21, 1997 (commonly referred to as the 
     ``Anti-Bribery Convention'');
       (C) the United Nations Convention against Transnational 
     Organized Crime, done at New York November 15, 2000;
       (D) the United Nations Convention against Corruption, done 
     at New York October 31, 2003;
       (E) Recommendation of the Council for Further Combating 
     Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business 
     Transactions, adopted November 26, 2009; and

     and partners, arms control negotiations and sustained and 
     regular engagement with the People's Republic of China 
     (PRC)--
       (A) to enhance understanding of each other's respective 
     nuclear policies, doctrine, and capabilities;
       (B) to improve transparency; and

[[Page H491]]

       (C) to help manage the risks of miscalculation and 
     misperception;

       (B) negotiating norms for outer space;
       (C) developing pre-launch notification regimes aimed at 
     reducing nuclear miscalculation; and
       (D) expanding lines of communication between both 
     governments for the purposes of reducing the risks of 
     conventional war and increasing transparency;
       (3) to pursue relevant negotiations in coordination with 
     United States allies and partners to ensure the security of 
     United States and allied interests to slow the PRC's military 
     modernization and expansion, including on--
       (A) ground-launched cruise and ballistic missiles;
       (B) integrated air and missile defense;

     Liberation Army (PLA) attack on United States early warning 
     satellites, other portions of the nuclear command and control 
     enterprise, or critical infrastructure poses a high risk to 
     inadvertent but rapid escalation;
       (3) the United States and its allies and partners should 
     promote international norms on military operations in space, 
     the employment of cyber capabilities, and the military use of 
     artificial intelligence, as an element of risk reduction 
     regarding nuclear command and control; and
       (4) United States allies and partners should share the 
     burden of promoting and protecting norms regarding the 
     weaponization of space, highlighting unsafe behavior that 
     violates international norms, such as in rendezvous and 
     proximity operations, and promoting responsible behavior in 
     space and all other domains.

              TITLE VI--INVESTING IN A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE

     SEC. 30601. ENSURING NATIONAL SECURITY AND ECONOMIC 
                   PRIORITIES WITH THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA 
                   AND OTHER COUNTRIES ACCOUNT FOR ENVIRONMENTAL 
                   ISSUES AND CLIMATE CHANGE.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) The Special Report: Global Warming of 1.5C, published 
     by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change on October 
     8, 2018, and the Fourth National Climate Assessment, first 
     published by the United States Global Change Research Program 
     in 2018, concluded that--
       (A) the release of greenhouse gas emissions, most notably 
     the combustion of fossil fuels and the degradation of natural 
     resources that absorb atmospheric carbon from human activity, 
     are the dominant causes of climate change during the past 
     century;
       (B) changes in the Earth's climate are--
       (i) causing sea levels to rise;
       (ii) increasing the global average temperature of the 
     Earth;
       (iii) increasing the incidence and severity of wildfires; 
     and
       (iv) intensifying the severity of extreme weather, 
     including hurricanes, cyclones, typhoons, flooding, droughts, 
     and other disasters that threaten human life, healthy 
     communities, and critical infrastructure.
       (2) An increase in the global average temperature of 2 
     degrees Celsius compared to pre-industrialized levels would 
     cause--
       (A) the displacement, and the forced internal migration, of 
     an estimated 143,000,000 people in Latin America, South Asia, 
     and Sub-Saharan

[[Page H492]]

     Africa by 2050 if insufficient action is taken (according to 
     the World Bank);
       (B) the displacement of an average of 17,800,000 people 
     worldwide by floods every year (according to the Internal 
     Displacement Monitoring Centre) because of the exacerbating 
     effects of climate change;
       (C) more than $500,000,000,000 in lost annual economic 
     output in the United States (a 10 percent contraction from 
     2018 levels) by 2100 (according to the Fourth National 
     Climate Assessment);
       (D) an additional 100,000,000 people worldwide to be driven 
     into poverty by 2030 (according to the World Bank);
       (E) greater food insecurity and decreased agricultural 
     production due to climate change's effects on the increased 
     frequency and intensity of extreme weather events;
       (F) the proliferation of agricultural pests and crop 
     diseases, loss of biodiversity, degrading ecosystems, and 
     water scarcity; and
       (G) more than 350,000,000 additional people worldwide to be 
     exposed to deadly heat stress by 2050.
       (3) According to the International Energy Agency, the 
     United States, China, India, and the European Union 
     (including the United Kingdom) account for more than 58 
     percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. China, which is 
     the world's top greenhouse gases emitter and has an outsized 
     impact on the United States' core interest in climate 
     stability--
       (A) is likely to achieve its carbon emissions mitigation 
     pledge to the Paris Agreement, contained in its 2015 
     nationally determined contribution, to ``peak'' emissions 
     around 2030 ahead of schedule;
       (B) announced, on September 22, 2020, and restated on April 
     22, 2021, a pledge to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060;
       (C) announced on April 22, 2021, its intent to strictly 
     control coal fired power generation projects, as well as 
     strictly limit the increase in coal consumption over the 14th 
     five year plan period and phase it down in the 15th five year 
     plan period; and
       (D) however, remains uncommitted to internationally 
     recognized metrics for achieving these goals.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) to address the climate crisis, the United States must 
     leverage the full weight of its diplomatic engagement and 
     foreign assistance to promote our national security and 
     economic interests related to climate change;
       (2) in the absence of United States leadership on global 
     issues driving international climate-related policymaking, it 
     would lead to a substantial and harmful decline in the 
     Nation's global competitiveness;
       (3) promoting international instruments on climate action 
     and other relevant international standards and best 
     practices, as such standards and practices develop, serve the 
     interests of the American people and protect United States 
     environmental resources and the planet;
       (4) promoting the adoption and implementation of 
     international climate-related agreements, standards, and 
     practices by foreign states ensures a level playing field for 
     United States businesses and other stakeholders;
       (5) working with international allies and partners to 
     promote environmental justice and climate justice serves the 
     American people's interests;
       (6) finding common ground with the People's Republic of 
     China (PRC) on climate action where possible is important, 
     but the United States must also continue to hold the PRC 
     accountable where its actions undermine the interests of the 
     United States and its allies and partners;
       (7) and in furtherance of the previous clauses, the United 
     States should--
       (A) explore opportunities for constructive cooperation on 
     climate action initiatives with the PRC and other countries 
     while ensuring the United States maintains its competitive 
     advantage in climate-related fields of expertise and 
     industry, including--
       (i) support for international cooperative policies, 
     measures, and technologies to decarbonize industry and power, 
     including through circular economy, energy storage and grid 
     reliability, carbon capture, and green hydrogen; and
       (ii) increased deployment of clean energy, including 
     renewable and advanced nuclear power; green and climate 
     resilient agriculture; energy efficient buildings; green, and 
     low-carbon transportation;
       (B) cooperate on addressing emissions of methane and other 
     non-CO2 greenhouse gases;
       (C) cooperate on addressing emissions from international 
     civil aviation and maritime activities;
       (D) reduce emissions from coal, oil, and gas;
       (E) implement the Paris Agreement that significantly 
     advances global climate ambition on mitigation, adaptation, 
     and support;
       (F) coordinate among relevant Federal, State, and local 
     departments and agencies on climate action related 
     initiatives;
       (G) provide resources, authorities and support for 
     enhancing United States ambition and commitment to solving 
     the climate crisis including climate action specific 
     assistance and multilateral fund contributions; and
       (H) integrate considerations for climate change into 
     broader United States foreign policy decision-making and the 
     United States national security apparatus.
       (c) Purpose.--The purpose of this section is to provide 
     authorities, resources, policies, and recommended 
     administrative actions--
       (1) to restore United States global leadership on 
     addressing the climate crisis and make United States climate

     SEC. 30603. BALANCING ACCOUNTABILITY AND COOPERATION WITH 
                   CHINA.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) successful mitigation of global greenhouse gas 
     emissions and changes to the environment require global 
     cooperation and coordination of efforts, as well as holding 
     other countries such as the People's Republic of China (PRC) 
     accountable for their actions and commitments to ensure a 
     level playing field with the United States and its allies and 
     partners;
       (2) other countries look toward the United States and the 
     PRC, as the world's largest emitters and largest economies, 
     for leadership by example to effectively mitigate greenhouse 
     gas emissions, develop and deploy energy generation 
     technologies, and integrate sustainable adaptation solutions 
     to the inevitable effects of climate change;
       (3) given the volume of the PRC's greenhouse gas emissions 
     and the scientific imperative to swiftly reduce global 
     greenhouse gas emissions to net-zero emissions around 2050, 
     China should--
       (A) revise its long-term pledge;
       (B) seek to immediately peak its emissions;
       (C) begin reducing its greenhouse gas emissions 
     significantly to meet a more ambitious long-term 2050 
     reductions target; and
       (D) update its nationally determined contribution along a 
     trajectory that aligns with achieving a more ambitious net-
     zero by 2050 emissions target;
       (4) it is in the United States national interest to 
     emphasize the environment and climate change in its bilateral 
     engagement with the PRC, as global climate risks cannot be 
     mitigated without a significant reduction in PRC domestic and 
     overseas emissions;
       (5) the United States and the PRC, to the extent 
     practicable, should coordinate on making and delivering 
     ambitious pledges to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, with 
     aspirations towards achieving net zero greenhouse gas 
     emissions by 2050;
       (6) the United States and its allies and partners should 
     work together, using diplomatic and economic tools, to hold 
     the PRC accountable for any failure by the PRC--
       (A) to increase ambition in its 2030 nationally determined 
     contribution, in line with net zero greenhouse gas emissions 
     by 2050 before the 26th Conference of the Parties to the 
     UNFCCC scheduled for November 2021 and meeting a more 
     ambitious nationally determined contribution;
       (B) to work faithfully to uphold the principles, goals, and 
     rules of the Paris Agreement;

[[Page H494]]

       (C) to avoid and prohibit efforts to undermine or devolve 
     the Paris Agreement's rule or underlying framework, 
     particularly within areas of accountability transparency, and 
     shared responsibility among all parties;
       (D) to eliminate greenhouse gas intensive projects from the 
     PRC's Belt and Road Initiative and other overseas 
     investments, including--
       (i) working with United States allies and partners to 
     eliminate support for coal power production projects in the 
     Belt and Road Initiative;
       (ii) providing financing and project support for cleaner 
     and less risky alternatives; and
       (iii) undertaking ``parallel initiatives'' to enhance 
     capacity building programs and overseas sustainable 
     investment criteria, including in areas such as integrated 
     energy planning, power sector reform, just transition, 
     distributed generation, procurement, transparency, and 
     standards to support low-emissions growth in developing 
     countries; and
       (E) to phase out existing coal power plants and reduce net 
     coal power production;
       (7) the United States should pursue confidence-building 
     opportunities for the United States and the PRC to undertake 
     ``parallel initiatives'' on clean energy research, 
     development, finance, and deployment, including through 
     economic and stimulus measures with clear, mutually agreed 
     upon rules and policies to protect intellectual property, 
     ensure equitable, nonpunitive provision of support, and 
     verify implementation, which would provide catalytic progress 
     towards delivering a global clean energy transformation that 
     benefits all people;
       (8) the United States should pursue cooperative initiatives 
     to reduce global deforestation, including efforts to shift 
     toward the import and consummation of forest and agricultural 
     commodities that are produced in a manner that does not 
     contribute to deforestation; and
       (9) the United States should pursue appropriate scientific 
     cooperative exchanges and research that align with United 
     States interests and those of its international partners and 
     allies, provide reciprocity of access, protect intellectual 
     property rights, and preserve the values and human rights 
     interests of the American people.

       (c) Enhancing International Outreach and Partnership of 
     United States Agencies Involved in Greenhouse Gas 
     Reductions.--
       (1) Finding.--Congress recognizes the success of the United 
     States Climate Alliance and the greenhouse gas reduction 
     programs and strategies established by the Environmental 
     Protection Agency's Center for Corporate Climate Leadership.
       (2) Authorization of efforts to build foreign

     President shall--
       (1) consider the impact short-lived climate pollutants are 
     having on the increase in global average temperatures and the 
     resulting global climate change;
       (2) consider the effects that climate change is having on 
     the environment; and
       (3) ensure that the agreement strengthens efforts to 
     significantly reduce short-lived climate pollutants from such 
     country or countries.
       (f) Plan to Reduce Black Carbon Emissions From Ships.--The 
     Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, in 
     consultation with the Secretary of State, the Secretary of

     provide for such reduction through--
       (1) a clean freight partnership;
       (2) limits on black carbon emissions; and
       (3) efforts that include protection of access to critical 
     fuel shipments and emergency needs of coastal communities.
       (g) Establishment of Interagency Working Group on Black 
     Carbon, Methane, and High-GWP HFC Mitigation.--
       (1) Establishment.--Not later than 90 days after the date 
     of enactment of this Act, the President shall establish a 
     task force, to be known as the Interagency Working Group on 
     Short-Lived Climate Pollutant Mitigation.

     SEC. 30609. BUILDING UNITED STATES ECONOMIC GROWTH AND 
                   TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION THROUGH THE GREEN 
                   CLIMATE FUND.

       (a) Green Climate Fund.--
       (1) Findings.--Congress finds that--
       (A) climate change most severely impacts vulnerable and 
     disadvantaged communities in the United States and around the 
     world;
       (B) it is the responsibility of the United States 
     Government to work with and press other countries to address 
     environmental justice and climate justice;
       (C) the report of the United Nations Environment Programme 
     entitled ``Climate Change and the Cost of Capital in 
     Developing Countries'', dated May 2018, found that, in the 10 
     years prior to the publication of the report, climate 
     vulnerability has cost the 20 nations most affected by 
     catastrophes rooted in climate change an additional 
     $62,000,000,000 in interest payments alone;
       (D) individuals and families, particularly communities of 
     color, indigenous communities, and low-income communities, 
     that are on the frontlines of climate change across the globe 
     are often in close proximity to environmental stressors or 
     sources of pollution;
       (E) the communities described in subparagraph (D)--
       (i) are often the first exposed to the causes and impacts 
     of climate change; and
       (ii) have the fewest resources with which to mitigate those 
     impacts or to relocate;
       (F) all efforts to adapt to and mitigate climate change 
     must include specific protections for and acknowledgment of 
     the harm of climate change to communities of color, 
     indigenous peoples, women, and other frontline communities 
     and marginalized peoples around the world;
       (G) in Paris, on December 12, 2015, the parties to the 
     United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change adopted 
     the Paris Agreement, a benchmark agreement--
       (i) to combat climate change;
       (ii) to accelerate and intensify the actions and 
     investments needed for a sustainable low carbon future; and
       (iii) that acknowledges, ``Parties should, when taking 
     action to address climate change, respect, promote and 
     consider their respective obligations on human rights, the 
     right to health, the rights of indigenous peoples, local 
     communities, migrants, children, persons with disabilities 
     and people in vulnerable situations and the right to 
     development, as well as gender equality, empowerment of women 
     and intergenerational equity'';
       (H) the Paris Agreement--
       (i) notes the importance of ``climate justice'' when 
     mitigating and adapting to climate change; and
       (ii) recognizes ``the need for an effective and progressive 
     response to the urgent threat of climate change'';
       (I) it is imperative for all countries to undertake 
     mitigation activities to rapidly meet the goal of limiting 
     global warming to not more than 1.5 degrees Celsius;
       (J) developed countries have the greatest capacity to 
     mitigate their greenhouse gas emissions, while--
       (i) developing countries have the least capacity to engage 
     in mitigation activities; and
       (ii) the capacity of developing countries to engage in 
     mitigation activities is less than the national mitigation 
     potential of those developing countries;
       (K) the determination for the fair share of mitigation and 
     adaptation activities for each country must take into 
     account--
       (i) the historic greenhouse gas emissions of each country; 
     and
       (ii) the current capacity of each country to both mitigate 
     greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to climate impacts;
       (L) developed countries that have historically emitted a 
     disproportionately high share of greenhouse gas emissions, 
     and reaped the economic benefits of those polluting 
     activities, have a corresponding disproportionately greater 
     responsibility to engage in global mitigation and adaptation 
     activities, as compared to less industrialized countries that 
     have historically polluted far less;
       (M) the only realistic way for less industrialized 
     countries to meet their full mitigation potential is through 
     international climate financing by more developed countries;
       (N) in the 2009 Copenhagen Accord, developed countries 
     committed to jointly mobilize, starting in 2020, 
     $100,000,000,000 per year in public climate financing (as 
     well as private investment and other alternative forms of 
     finance), for developing countries, a commitment reaffirmed 
     in 2015 in Decision 1/CP.21 of the United Nations Framework 
     Convention on Climate Change, Adoption of the Paris 
     Agreement;
       (O) the $100,000,000,000 commitment described in 
     subparagraph (N) was a political compromise that falls short 
     of the actual financing needs for climate action in 
     developing countries;
       (P) Bloomberg New Energy Finance has estimated that the 
     transition to renewable energy sources in developing 
     countries will require hundreds of billions of dollars 
     annually;
       (Q) the United Nations Environment Programme has estimated 
     that adaptation needs relating to climate change in 
     developing countries may be as much as $300,000,000,000 
     annually by 2030;
       (R) the Green Climate Fund was created in 2010 by 194 
     countries to serve as a crucial financing mechanism to help 
     developing countries limit or reduce greenhouse gas emissions 
     and adapt to climate change;
       (S) in 2015, the United Nations Framework Convention on 
     Climate Change agreed that the Green Climate Fund should 
     serve the goals of the Paris Agreement, which states that 
     ``developed country Parties shall provide financial resources 
     to assist developing country Parties with respect to both 
     mitigation and adaptation in continuation of their existing 
     obligations under the Convention'';
       (T) the Green Climate Fund is an essential institution for 
     climate financing, as the Green Climate Fund ensures--
       (i) balanced governance between developed and developing 
     countries;
       (ii) stakeholder engagement and discourse;
       (iii) a balanced approach between mitigation and 
     adaptation;
       (iv) fair and equal labor and working conditions;
       (v) conservation of biodiversity and critical habitats; and
       (vi) strong environmental, social, and gender protections;
       (U) the Green Climate Fund--
       (i) promotes and protects human rights and the rights of 
     marginalized groups, including indigenous peoples, women, 
     children, and people with disabilities; and
       (ii) continues to take steps to strengthen protection for 
     marginalized groups;
       (iii) the United States committed $3,000,000,000 of the 
     first $10,000,000,000 raised for the initial resource 
     mobilization period of the Green Climate Fund, though only 
     \1/3\ of this pledge was fulfilled, leaving the United States 
     the only country to fall substantially short of a commitment 
     of a country to the Green Climate Fund; and
       (V) the Green Climate Fund is a fully operational and 
     proven institution supporting well over 100 projects and 
     programs in developing countries around the world.
       (2) Statement of policy.--It is the policy of the United 
     States to provide climate financing--
       (A) as an essential part of the global effort to combat 
     climate change; and
       (B) that--
       (i) upholds the principles of environmental justice and 
     climate justice;
       (ii) supports programs and projects developed by recipient 
     countries and communities;
       (iii) is designed and implemented with the free, prior, and 
     informed consent of indigenous peoples and other impacted 
     communities;
       (iv) promotes gender equality as essential in all of the 
     projects and programs supported by climate financing;
       (v) includes best practices for environmental and social 
     safeguards to ensure that projects and programs supported by 
     climate financing respect fundamental human rights; and
       (vi) addresses both mitigation and adaptation as essential 
     aspects of responding to climate change.
       (b) Authorization of Appropriations.--There are authorized 
     to be appropriated for contributions to the Green Climate 
     Fund $4,000,000,000 for each of the fiscal years 2022 and 
     2023.
       (c) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     the climate financing needs to achieve the greenhouse gas 
     emissions reductions required to keep the planet at or below 
     1.5 degrees Celsius of global warming are significantly 
     greater than the amount of funds authorized to be 
     appropriated under subsection (a).

     SEC. 30610. ENSURING A WHOLE-OF-GOVERNMENT RESPONSE TO 
                   CLIMATE ACTION.

     SEC. 30611. WORKING WITH INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS TO REDUCE 
                   DEFORESTATION.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) The People's Republic of China (PRC) is having a 
     substantial impact on the most important forest ecosystems in 
     the world, and illegal logging and agricultural expansion 
     have caused the massive forest loss. According to the World 
     Resources Institute, the PRC has become the world's leading 
     importer and consumer of timber products, soybeans, and palm 
     oil, as well as the largest manufacturing and export country 
     of forest products.
       (2) In 2016, the PRC imported logs from more than 100 
     countries in the world. According to a Global Witness report, 
     between January 2013 and April 2020, Chinese financial 
     institutions provided more than $22.5 billion to major 
     companies that produce and trade commodities at high risk of 
     driving deforestation. These commodities include beef, soy, 
     palm oil, paper, pulp, rubber, and timber.
       (3) Further, the growing international demand for such 
     agricultural commodities causes the majority of deforestation 
     emissions globally, and most of the associated land-clearing 
     violates applicable national or local laws. According to a 
     2021 Forest Trends report, at least 69 percent of forest land 
     converted to pasture or cropland was cleared illegally.
       (4) The growing demand for timber and agricultural 
     commodities has accelerated unsustainable--and often 
     illegal--logging and the trade of timber products, which 
     harms the countries in which it takes place by siphoning away 
     government tax revenue, transforming the livelihoods of 
     communities dependent on forests, and hurting legal 
     businesses' competitiveness. Further, illegal logging and 
     illegal conversion of forest to agricultural land threatens 
     biodiversity and accelerates deforestation and forest 
     degradation in key timber supply countries, undermining 
     United States and global climate goals.
       (5) The United States should work with international 
     partners to ensure that Chinese and other banks factor into 
     lending practices the environmental and social impact of the 
     companies they finance. This should include pressuring the 
     PRC and other countries to revise regulations to require the 
     banking sector not to finance companies linked to 
     deforestation and include rigorous checks on the companies 
     operating in sectors or regions where there is a high risk of 
     deforestation to ensure they are not associated with 
     deforestation.

     activities on peatlands.
       (7) Intact forest.--The term ``intact forest'' means an 
     unbroken expanse of natural ecosystems within the global 
     extent of forest cover that--
       (A) covers an area of at least 500 square kilometers and is 
     at least 10 kilometers in each direction; and

     Administrator at the State or provincial level.
       (c) Purposes.--The purposes of this section are to provide 
     United States assistance to developing countries to develop, 
     implement, and improve actions that reduce deforestation and 
     forest degradation or conserve or restore forest ecosystems--
       (1) to protect the value of forest ecosystems with respect 
     to permanent carbon capture and sequestration in a manner in 
     which such value is measurable, reportable, and verifiable; 
     and
       (2) in a manner that--
       (A) is consistent with and enhances the implementation of 
     complementary United States policies that support the good 
     governance of forests, biodiversity conservation, and 
     environmentally sustainable development;
       (B) takes into consideration the views and participation of 
     local communities and most vulnerable communities and 
     populations, particularly forest-dependent communities; and

     Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) 
     developed by the International Civil Aviation Organization 
     (ICAO);
       (B) require--
       (i) the establishment of a national deforestation baseline 
     for each country with national deforestation reduction 
     activities that is used to account for reductions achieved 
     from such activities; or
       (ii) if a developing country has established policies and 
     taken measures to reduce emissions from disturbed peatlands, 
     deforestation, or forest degradation, but has not established 
     a national baseline, the provision of a credible, 
     transparent, accurate, and conservative alternative for 
     quantifying emissions;
       (C) provide that each national deforestation baseline 
     established under subparagraph (B)(i)--
       (i) is national, or subnational on an interim basis, in 
     scope; and
       (ii) is consistent with nationally appropriate mitigation 
     commitments or actions with respect to deforestation, taking 
     into consideration--

       (I) the average annual historical deforestation rates of 
     the country during a period of at least 5 years; and
       (II) the applicable drivers of deforestation and other 
     factors to ensure additionality;

       (iii) establishes a trajectory that would result in zero 
     net deforestation by not later than 20 years after the date 
     on which the baseline is established;
       (iv) is adjusted over time to account for changing national 
     circumstances; and
       (v) is designed to account for all significant sources of 
     greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation in the country;
       (D) with respect to assistance provided for activities 
     described in subparagraph (A) or (B) of paragraph (2), 
     require emissions reductions to be achieved and verified 
     before the provision of any assistance under this section;
       (E) with respect to accounting for subnational 
     deforestation and forest degradation reduction activities 
     that lack the standardized or precise measurement and 
     monitoring techniques needed for a full accounting of changes 
     in emissions or baselines, or are subject to other sources of 
     uncertainty, apply a conservative discount factor to reflect 
     the uncertainty regarding the levels of reductions achieved;
       (F) ensure that activities under this section are designed, 
     carried out, and managed--
       (i) using forest management practices that, in an open and 
     transparent process--

       (I) improve the livelihoods of forest communities in a 
     manner that promotes the maintenance of intact forests, 
     protects associated biodiversity, and restores native forest 
     species and ecosystems while avoiding the introduction of 
     invasive nonnative species;
       (II) maintain natural biodiversity, resilience, and carbon 
     storage capacity of forests;
       (III) to the extent practicable, do not adversely affect

       (V) take into account the needs and interests of local 
     communities, forest-dependent communities, indigenous 
     peoples, and vulnerable social groups;

       (ii) in consultation with, and with the full and effective 
     participation of, local communities, indigenous peoples, and 
     forest-dependent communities in affected areas, as partners 
     and primary stakeholders, before and during the design, 
     planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of 
     activities; and
       (iii) with equitable sharing of profits and benefits 
     derived from the activities with local communities, 
     indigenous peoples, and forest-dependent communities; and
       (G) with respect to assistance for all activities under 
     this section, seek to ensure the establishment and 
     enforcement of legal regimes, standards, processes, and 
     safeguards by the country in which the activities are 
     conducted, as a condition of such assistance or as a proposed 
     activity for which such assistance may be provided, which--
       (i) protect the rights and interests of local communities, 
     indigenous peoples, forest-dependent communities, human 
     rights defenders, and vulnerable social groups; and
       (ii) promote consultations with local communities, 
     indigenous peoples, and forest-dependent communities in 
     affected areas, as partners and primary stakeholders, before 
     and during the design, planning, implementation, monitoring, 
     and evaluation of activities under this section; and
       (iii) ensure equitable sharing of profits and benefits from 
     incentives for emissions reductions or leakage prevention 
     with local communities, indigenous peoples, and forest-
     dependent communities.
       (5) Scope.--
       (A) Reduced emissions.--The Administrator shall include 
     reduced emissions from forest degradation and disturbance of 
     peatlands within the scope of activities under this section.
       (B) Expansion of authorized activities.--If the 
     Administrator determines, in consultation with other 
     appropriate agencies, that sufficient methodologies and 
     technical capacities exist to measure, monitor, and account 
     for the emissions referred to in subparagraph (A), the 
     Administrator may expand the authorized activities under this 
     section, as appropriate, to include reduced soil carbon-
     derived emissions associated with deforestation and 
     degradation of forested wetlands and peatlands, consistent 
     with a comprehensive approach to maintaining and enhancing 
     forests, increasing climate resiliency, reducing emissions, 
     and increasing removals of greenhouse gases.
       (6) Accounting.--The Administrator shall use a publicly 
     accessible registry to account for and register the emissions 
     reductions achieved through assistance provided under this 
     section each year, after appropriately discounting for 
     uncertainty and other relevant factors as required by the 
     standards established under paragraph (4).
       (7) International deforestation reduction program insurance 
     account for noncompletion or reversal.--In furtherance of the

     SEC. 30612. CONTROLLING THE EXPORT OF ELECTRONIC WASTE TO 
                   PROTECT UNITED STATES SUPPLY CHAINS.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) It is in the national security interests of the United 
     States to ensure that the export of electronic waste does not 
     become the source of counterfeit goods that may reenter 
     electronics supply chains in the United States, and for other 
     purposes.
       (2) A 2012 Senate Armed Services Committee Report 
     ``discovered counterfeit electronic parts from China in the 
     Air Force's largest cargo plane, in assemblies intended for 
     Special Operations helicopters, and in a Navy surveillance 
     plane among 1,800 cases of bogus parts''.
       (3) Further, exporting such material has often resulted in 
     environmental damage because of illegal dumping or inadequate 
     environmental regulations in other countries for ensuring 
     their safe and secure disposal.
       (4) China, the single largest producer of electronic waste, 
     is on track for its e-waste industry to total $23,800,000,000 
     by 2030, given its high supply of used products, demand for 
     recycled materials, and capacity to transport these 
     materials.
       (5) As the second largest producer of electronic waste, the 
     United States has a strong economic and national security 
     incentive to enhance domestic e-waste recycling capacity 
     rather than exporting to China and other countries.
       (6) Given China's lack of regulations and worker 
     protections, workers in the e-waste industry have been 
     exposed to over 1,000 harmful substances, including lead and 
     mercury, endangering the health and wellbeing of workers.
       (b) Definitions.--In this section:

 TITLE II--PROHIBITIONS OR CONDITIONS ON CERTAIN TRANSMITTALS OF FUNDS

     SEC. 60201. FINDINGS.

       Congress finds the following:
       (1) The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) is 
     the Financial Intelligence Unit of the United States tasked 
     with safeguarding the financial system from illicit use, 
     combating money laundering and its related crimes including 
     terrorism, and promoting national security.
       (2) Per statute, FinCEN may require domestic financial 
     institutions and financial agencies to take certain ``special 
     measures'' against jurisdictions, institutions, classes of 
     transactions, or types of accounts determined to be of 
     primary money laundering concern, providing the Secretary 
     with a range of options, such as enhanced record-keeping, 
     that can be adapted to target specific money laundering and 
     terrorist financing and to bring pressure on those that pose 
     money laundering threats.
       (3) This special-measures authority was granted in 2001, 
     when most cross-border transactions occurred through 
     correspondent or payable-through accounts held with large 
     financial institutions which serve as intermediaries to 
     facilitate financial transactions on behalf of other banks.
       (4) Innovations in financial services have transformed and 
     expanded methods of cross-border transactions that could not 
     have been envisioned 20 years ago when FinCEN was given its 
     special-measures authority.
       (5) These innovations, particularly through digital assets 
     and informal value transfer systems, while useful to 
     legitimate consumers and law enforcement, can be tools abused 
     by bad actors like sanctions evaders, fraudsters, money 
     launderers, and those who commit ransomware attacks on 
     victimized U.S. companies and which abuse the financial 
     system to move and obscure the proceeds of their crimes.
       (6) Ransomware attacks on U.S. companies requiring payments 
     in cryptocurrencies have increased in recent years, with the 
     U.S. Treasury estimating that ransomware payments in the 
     United States reached $590 million in just the first half of 
     2021, compared to a total of $416 million in 2020.
       (7) In July 2021, the White House, with support of U.S. 
     allies, asserted that the People's Republic of China was 
     responsible for ransomware operations against private 
     companies that included demands of millions of dollars, 
     including the 2021 ransomware attacks that breached Microsoft 
     email systems and affected thousands of consumers, State and 
     local municipalities, and government contractors attributed 
     to a cyber espionage group with links to the Chinese Ministry 
     of State Security.
       (8) As ransomware attacks organized by Chinese and other 
     foreign bad actors continue to grow in size and scope, 
     modernizing FinCEN's special measure authorities will empower 
     FinCEN to adapt its existing tools, monitor and obstruct 
     global financial threats, and meet the challenges of 
     combating 21st century financial crime.

                   TRANSMITTALS OF FUNDS.

       Section 5318A of title 31, United States Code, is amended--

     foreign banking institution''; and

     funds.--If the Secretary finds a jurisdiction outside of the 
     United States, 1 or more financial institutions operating 
     outside of the United States, 1 or more types of accounts 
     within, or involving, a jurisdiction outside of the United 
     States, or 1 or more classes of transactions within, or 
     involving, a jurisdiction outside of the United States to be 
     of primary money laundering concern, the Secretary, in 
     consultation with the Secretary of the State, the Attorney 
     General, and the Chairman of the Board of Governors of the 
     Federal Reserve System, may prohibit, or impose conditions 
     upon certain transmittals of funds (as such term may be 
     defined by the Secretary in a special measure issuance, by 
     regulation, or as otherwise permitted by law), to or from any 
     domestic financial institution or domestic financial agency 
     if such transmittal of funds involves any such jurisdiction, 
     institution, type of account, or class of transaction.''.

 TITLE IV--COMBATING WILDLIFE TRAFFICKING FINANCING AND PROCEEDS STUDY 
                                  ACT

     SEC. 60401. FINDINGS.

       Congress finds the following:
       (1) The 2017 report by the think tank, Global Financial 
     Integrity, entitled ``Transnational Crime and the Developing 
     World'', determined that the annual global retail value of 
     illegal wildlife trade is between $5 billion to $23 billion, 
     and when losses to ecosystem services are considered, the 
     World Bank estimates the cost of environmental crime is 
     between $1 trillion and $2 trillion, annually.
       (2) Wildlife traffickers do not prefer particular species 
     or commodities, but instead, according to the non-
     governmental organization, United for Wildlife, wildlife 
     traffickers focus on the demand, availability, profit 
     potential, and relatively low risk associated with acquiring, 
     trading, and distributing wildlife globally.
       (3) The trafficking of wildlife affects human health 
     because of undetected spread of zoonotic diseases, scarcity 
     in food resources, and the environmental results of degraded 
     ecosystems.
       (4) Also, the trafficking of illicit wildlife such as 
     pangolins from Africa, macaws from Peru, turtles from the 
     United States, and rosewood species smuggled globally 
     threatens our national security at home and American 
     interests abroad because rogue organizations, including 
     transnational criminal organizations, use the proceeds to 
     fund illegal and violent acts throughout the world, fueling 
     corruption and benefiting from corrupt government officials, 
     weakening the rule of law, and distorting commercial markets.
       (5) Many of these supply chains are affected by Chinese 
     activity, from the criminal organizations involved in the 
     initial poaching of targeted commodities to the demand for 
     goods produced from endangered plants and animals.
       (6) The Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces 
     conducted an investigation known as ``Operation Apex'' which 
     identified extensive overlaps among drug trafficking 
     organizations, professional money launderers, and wildlife 
     trafficking syndicates.
       (7) A study conducted by Federal entities that examined 
     wildlife trafficking networks determined that--
       (A) more than two-thirds of persons trafficking wildlife 
     also trafficked narcotics;
       (B) 10 percent of persons trafficking wildlife were doing 
     so to finance terrorism; and
       (C) a small percentage of persons trafficking wildlife were 
     doing so to finance the proliferation of nuclear materials.
       (8) Because wildlife trafficking is executed as part of a 
     commodity-agnostic global enterprise, the United States and 
     allies of the United States

[[Page H508]]

     should focus efforts to reduce wildlife trafficking on 
     curtailing the expansive networks that traffic wildlife and 
     other goods and on bringing enforcement actions against 
     persons who launder the proceeds of those persons who traffic 
     wildlife rather than pursue specific nations, groups, or 
     commodities.
       (9) In the past decade, the illicit wildlife trade has 
     moved online, mainly to social media platforms, creating 
     jurisdictional and technical challenges for law enforcement.

     SEC. 60402. STUDY.

       (a) In General.--The Secretary of the Treasury and the 
     Secretary of the Interior, acting through the U.S. Fish and

      TITLE V--STUDY ON CHINESE SUPPORT FOR AFGHAN ILLICIT FINANCE

     SEC. 60501. STUDY ON CHINESE SUPPORT FOR AFGHAN ILLICIT 
                   FINANCE.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) Though China and Afghanistan share only a small land 
     border, when it comes to illicit financial activity between 
     the two countries, China has a demonstrated history of 
     permissiveness regarding trafficking and money laundering 
     that could support both the Taliban and its associates.
       (2) A 2014 Financial Action Task Force report titled, 
     ``Financial Flows Linked to the Production and Trafficking of 
     Afghan Opiates'' found evidence of import/export companies 
     registered in China that were transferring funds to 
     Afghanistan, likely as part of trade-based money laundering 
     schemes centered around illicit opium production and 
     trafficking, which, per the United Nations Office on Drugs 
     and Crime (UNODC), is one of the Taliban's main sources of 
     income.
       (3) Since the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 
     2021, China has announced its willingness to lend financial 
     support and legitimacy to the Taliban-led government in 
     Afghanistan, including Afghan Interior Minister, Sirajuddin 
     Haqqani, a member of the U.S.-sanctions designated Foreign 
     Terrorist Organization, the Haqqani Network.
       (4) China's permissive policies regarding Afghan illicit 
     finance run counter to the strategic interests of the United 
     States with respect to countering trafficking and preventing 
     terrorist groups from accessing the international financial 
     system.
       (5) China's role as a critical source of financial 
     wherewithal for the Taliban and its associates to process and 
     implement drug and other illicit-activity transactions 
     warrants further study as these actions pose a threat both to 
     the safety and security of the people of Afghanistan and the 
     international community.
       (6) Congress needs to better understand how China could 
     leverage its relationships and resources within Afghanistan 
     and how these activities could directly or indirectly provide 
     financial support to terrorist organizations, including the 
     Taliban and its associates.
       (b) Study.--
       (1) Requirement.--Not later than one year after the date of 
     the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Treasury shall 
     provide to the Committee on Financial Services and the 
     Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives 
     and the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs and 
     the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate and the 
     Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence of the House of 
     Representatives and the Select Committee on Intelligence of 
     the Senate a report on the financial activities of China and 
     Chinese entities in connection with the finances of 
     Afghanistan and the Taliban.
       (2) Matters included.--The report under paragraph (1) shall 
     include the following:
       (A) An assessment of the activities undertaken by the 
     People's Republic of China and Chinese-registered companies 
     to support illicit financial networks in Afghanistan, 
     particularly such networks involved in narcotics trafficking, 
     illicit financial transactions, official corruption, natural 
     resources exploitation, and terrorist networks.
       (B) An assessment of financial, commercial, and economic 
     activities undertaken by China and Chinese companies in 
     Afghanistan to support Chinese policies counter to American 
     strategic interests.
       (C) Any recommendations to Congress regarding legislative 
     or regulatory improvements necessary to support the 
     identification and disruption of Chinese-supported illicit 
     financial networks in Afghanistan.
       (3) Form.--The report under paragraph (1) may include a 
     classified annex.

     especially from small-scale fishery operations, can be a 
     sustainable healthy source of protein and micronutrients;
       (4) fresh, frozen, dried, and canned domestic seafood can 
     be produced, processed, packaged, and transported in a manner 
     that has a low carbon footprint;
       (5) marine species that are small, at lower trophic levels, 
     and pelagic typically have the smallest carbon footprint; and
       (6) therefore, any executive agency that purchases seafood 
     products should, to the extent practicable, buy local 
     American-caught or American-harvested and American-processed 
     seafood products from fisheries that are not overfished or 
     experiencing overfishing, in order to support sustainable 
     local seafood businesses, reduce greenhouse gas emissions 
     associated with the seafood product supply chain, and reduce 
     dependence on imported seafood products.

     SEC. 80103. STOPPING HARMFUL OFFERS ON PLATFORMS BY SCREENING 
                   AGAINST FAKES IN E-COMMERCE.

       (a) Contributory Liability for Electronic Commerce 
     Platforms.--Section 32 of the Act entitled ``An Act to 
     provide for the registration and protection of trademarks 
     used in commerce, to carry out the provisions of certain 
     international conventions, and for other purposes'', approved 
     July 5, 1946 (commonly known as the ``Trademark Act of 
     1946'') (15 U.S.C. 1114), is amended by adding at the end the 
     following:
       ``(4)(A) An electronic commerce platform shall be 
     contributorily liable in a civil action under paragraph (1) 
     for a case in which a third-party seller uses in commerce a 
     counterfeit mark in connection with the sale, offering for 
     sale, distribution, or advertising of goods that implicate 
     health and safety on the platform, unless the platform 
     demonstrates that the platform took each of the following 
     steps to prevent such use on the platform before any 
     infringing act by the third-party seller:

[[Page H526]]

       ``(i) Determined after a reasonable investigation, and 
     reasonably periodically confirmed--
       ``(I) that the third-party seller designated a registered 
     agent in the United States for service of process; or
       ``(II) in the case of third-party seller located in the 
     United States that has not designated a registered agent 
     under subclause (I), that the third-party seller has 
     designated a verified address for service of process in the 
     United States.
       ``(ii) Verified through reliable documentation, including 
     to the extent possible some form of government-issued 
     identification, the identity, principal place of business, 
     and contact information of the third-party seller.
       ``(iii) Except as provided for in subparagraph (C), 
     required the third-party seller to--
       ``(I) take reasonable steps to verify the authenticity of 
     goods on or in connection with which a registered mark is 
     used; and
       ``(II) attest to the platform that the third-party seller 
     has taken reasonable steps under subclause (I) to verify the 
     authenticity of the goods.
       ``(iv) Imposed on the third-party seller as a condition of 
     participating on the platform contractual requirements that--
       ``(I) the third-party seller agrees not to use a 
     counterfeit mark in connection with the sale, offering for 
     sale, distribution, or advertising of goods on the platform;
       ``(II) the third-party seller consents to the jurisdiction 
     of United States courts with respect to claims related to 
     participation by the third-party seller on the platform; and
       ``(III) the third-party seller designates an agent for 
     service of process in the United States, or, in the case of 
     third-party seller located in the United States, the third-
     party seller designates a verified address for service of 
     process in the United States.
       ``(v) Displayed conspicuously on the platform the verified 
     principal place of business, contact information, and 
     identity of the third-party seller, and the country from 
     which the goods were originally shipped from the third-party 
     seller, except the platform shall not be required to display 
     any such information that constitutes the personal identity 
     of an individual, a residential street address, or personal 
     contact information of an individual, and in such cases shall 
     instead provide alternative, verified means of contacting the 
     third-party seller.
       ``(vi) Except as provided for in subparagraph (C), 
     displayed conspicuously in each listing the country of origin 
     and manufacture of the goods as identified by the third-party 
     seller, unless such information was not reasonably available 
     to the third-party seller and the third-party seller has 
     identified to the platform the steps it undertook to identify 
     the country of origin and manufacture of the goods and the 
     reasons it was unable to identify the same.
       ``(vii) Required each third-party seller to use images that 
     accurately depict the goods sold, offered for sale, 
     distributed, or advertised on the platform.
       ``(viii) Implemented at no charge from the platform to the 
     registrant reasonable proactive measures for screening goods 
     before displaying the goods to the public to prevent the use 
     by any third-party seller of a counterfeit mark in connection 
     with the sale, offering for sale, distribution, or 
     advertising of goods on the platform. The determination of 
     whether proactive measures are reasonable shall consider the 
     size and resources of a platform, the available technological 
     and non-technological solutions at the time of screening, the 
     information provided by the registrant to the platform, and 
     any other factor considered relevant by a court.
       ``(ix) Provided reasonably accessible electronic means by 
     which a registrant and consumer can notify the platform of 
     suspected use of a counterfeit mark.
       ``(x) Implemented at no charge from the platform to the 
     registrant a program to expeditiously disable or remove from 
     the platform any listing for which a platform has reasonable 
     awareness of use of a counterfeit mark in connection with the 
     sale, offering for sale, distribution, or advertising of 
     goods. Reasonable awareness of use of a counterfeit mark may 
     be inferred based on information regarding the use of a 
     counterfeit mark on the platform generally, general 
     information about the third-party seller, identifying 
     characteristics of a particular listing, or other 
     circumstances as appropriate. A platform may reinstate a 
     listing disabled or removed under this clause if, after an 
     investigation, the platform reasonably determines that a 
     counterfeit mark was not used in the listing. A reasonable 
     decision to reinstate a listing shall not be a basis for 
     finding that a platform failed to comply with this clause.
       ``(xi) Implemented a publicly available, written policy 
     that requires termination of a third-party seller that 
     reasonably has been determined to have engaged in repeated 
     use of a counterfeit mark in connection with the sale, 
     offering for sale, distribution, or advertising of goods on 
     the platform. Use of a counterfeit mark by a third-party 
     seller in 3 separate listings within 1 year typically shall 
     be considered repeated use, but a platform may allow a third-
     party seller to remain active after repeated use of a 
     counterfeit mark when reasonable mitigating circumstances 
     exist. The determination of whether reasonable mitigating 
     circumstances exist shall consider the overall activity of 
     the third-party seller, efforts the third-party seller has 
     taken to cure supply-chain concerns, efforts the third-party 
     takes to resolve disputes once notified of a concern, and any 
     other factor considered relevant by a court. A platform may 
     reinstate a third-party seller if, after an investigation, 
     the platform reasonably determines that the third-party 
     seller did not engage in repeated use of a counterfeit mark 
     or that reasonable mitigating circumstances existed. A 
     reasonable decision to reinstate a third-party seller shall 
     not be a basis for finding that a platform failed to comply 
     with this clause.
       ``(xii) Implemented at no charge from the platform to the 
     registrant reasonable measures for screening third-party 
     sellers to ensure that sellers who have been terminated do 
     not rejoin or remain on the platform under a different seller 
     identity or alias. The determination of whether screening 
     measures are reasonable shall consider the size and resources 
     of a platform, the available technological and non-
     technological solutions at the time of screening, and any 
     other factor considered relevant by a court.
       ``(xiii) Provided a verified basis to contact a third-party 
     seller upon request by a registrant that has a bona fide 
     belief that the seller has used a counterfeit mark in 
     connection with the sale, offering for sale, distribution, or 
     advertising of goods on the platform except that the platform 
     is not required to provide information that constitutes the 
     personal identity of an individual, a residential street 
     address, or personal contact information of an individual (in 
     such case, the provider shall provide an alternative means of 
     contacting the third-party seller).
       ``(B)(i) This paragraph shall apply--
       ``(I) to an electronic commerce platform that has sales on 
     the platform in the previous calendar year of not less than 
     $500,000; or
       ``(II) to an electronic commerce platform with less than 
     $500,000 in sales in the previous calendar year, 6 months 
     after the platform has received 10 notices, in aggregate, 
     that qualify under clause (ii).
       ``(ii) To count toward the aggregate 10-notice threshold 
     under clause (i)(II), a notice shall--

     limit and the requirement of the platform to publish the 
     information in clause (iii); and
       ``(III) identify a listing on the platform that reasonably 
     could be determined to have used a counterfeit mark in 
     connection with the sale, offering for sale, distribution, or 
     advertising of goods that implicate health and safety.
       ``(iii) Not later than 1 month after the date on which a 
     platform described in clause(i)(II) receives the first notice 
     described under clause (ii), the platform shall make publicly 
     available an attestation that the sales on the platform in 
     the previous calendar year were less than $500,000 and an 
     aggregate count of the notices that qualify under clause 
     (ii). Such count shall be updated upon receipt of additional 
     notices.
       ``(C) Notwithstanding clauses (iii) and (vi) of 
     subparagraph (A), a platform is exempt from the requirements 
     of such clauses for goods, on or in connection with which a 
     registered mark is used, sold, offered for sale, or 
     advertised by a third-party seller for less than $5,000 if 
     the third-party seller sells, offers for sale, or advertises 
     on the platform 5 or fewer goods of the same type in 
     connection with the same mark in a 1-year period.

     facts may give rise to a claim under this paragraph.
       ``(E) With respect to fiscal year 2024, and each fiscal 
     year thereafter, the amounts in subparagraphs (B) and (C) 
     shall be increased each year by an amount equal to the 
     percentage increase, if any, in the Consumer Price Index.
       ``(F) In this paragraph:
       ``(i) The term `counterfeit mark' has the meaning given 
     that term in section 34(d)(1)(B).
       ``(ii) The term `electronic commerce platform' means any

     goods to consumers located in the United States.
       ``(iii) The term `goods that implicate health and safety'

       (b) Material Misrepresentations in Take-down Notices.--
       (1) Amendment.--The Act entitled ``An Act to provide for

     international conventions, and for other purposes'', approved 
     July 5, 1946 (commonly known as the ``Trademark Act of

     1114), the following new section:

     ``SEC. 32A. MATERIAL MISREPRESENTATIONS IN TAKE-DOWN NOTICES.

       ``(a) Civil Liability.--Any person who knowingly makes any 
     material misrepresentation in a notice to an electronic 
     commerce platform that a counterfeit mark was used in a 
     listing by a third party seller for goods that implicate 
     health and safety shall be liable in a civil action for 
     damages by the third-party seller that is injured by such 
     misrepresentation, as the result of the electronic commerce 
     platform relying upon such misrepresentation to remove or 
     disable access to the listing, including temporary removal or 
     disablement.
       ``(b) Action by Electronic Commerce Platform.--
       ``(1) Authority to bring action.--If a third-party seller 
     who otherwise could bring an action under subsection (a), 
     consents and declines to file suit, an electronic commerce 
     platform may bring an action under subsection (a) against a 
     person who knowingly made a material misrepresentation in 10 
     or more notices to the platform alleging that a counterfeit 
     mark was used in a listing by a third party seller for goods 
     that implicate health and safety.

       ``(2) Consent by third-party seller required.--Consent 
     shall be obtained in writing from each third-party seller to 
     which the notices covered by the civil action were directed.
       ``(3) Contents of consent.--The consent by a third-party

       (1) In paragraph (2)--

     good, defined as a good that--
       ``(i) is ready for sale to the ultimate purchaser, end 
     user, or consumer, whether or not packed or repacked after

       (2) By amending paragraph (3)(C)(ii)(IV) to read as

       (b) Modification to Commerce Report.--Section 3(c) of the

     petition.''.
       (c) Promulgation of List.--The United States International 
     Trade Commission may issue such guidance, including in the 
     form of a list of goods presumed to be finished goods and 
     their accompanying headings under the Harmonized Tariff 
     Schedule of the United States, as the Commission determines 
     useful or necessary to provide information to petitioners

     reductions by reason of the amendments under subsection (a).

     SEC. 106003. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON UNITED STATES COMMITMENT TO 
                   THE WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) The United States is an original member of the World 
     Trade Organization (WTO) and a key architect of the 
     institution.
       (2) The WTO is a critical forum for strengthening the 
     multilateral rules-based trading system and a bedrock of 
     United States trade policy.
       (3) The United States has provided the leadership and 
     political will to advance the goal of the WTO to create and 
     enforce rules that reduce obstacles to international trade 
     that help ensure a level playing field.
       (4) Sustained United States leadership in the WTO provides 
     best paths to achieve necessary WTO reforms, create new trade 
     rules that enhance opportunities for all, and address the 
     needs and challenges of the United States and all other free 
     and open economies in the 21st century.
       (5) The United States recognizes the historic nature of Dr. 
     Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala's selection as the WTO's new Director-
     General as being both the first woman and first African to be 
     chosen.
       (6) The WTO recognizes that trade should be conducted with 
     a view to raising standards of living, ensuring full 
     employment and a large and steadily growing volume of real 
     income and effective demand, expanding the production of and 
     trade in goods and services, optimally using the world's 
     resources in accordance with the objective of sustainable 
     development, and seeking to protect and preserve the 
     environment.
       (7) The WTO is the preferred forum in which member 
     economies resolve disputes that arise among them.
       (8) The United States has consistently supported having a 
     functional, efficient dispute settlement mechanism at the WTO 
     that strictly follows the Dispute Settlement Understanding as 
     agreed by all WTO members and remains accountable to WTO 
     members.
       (9) The United States, for decades, has sought to 
     strengthen the WTO dispute settlement system by advocating 
     for necessary, thoughtful and prudent reforms.
       (10) The United States has expressed longstanding concerns 
     that the WTO Appellate Body, through its findings and 
     procedural liberties, is improperly adding to or diminishing 
     the rights or obligations of WTO members.
       (11) The United States has consistently urged the WTO to 
     improve transparency by requiring that all dispute settlement 
     hearings at the WTO be open to the public, and all 
     submissions by the parties be publicly available.
       (12) While several WTO members have joined the United 
     States in agreeing to open hearings to the public and in 
     making public submissions, most WTO Members continue to 
     insist on closed hearings and confidential submissions.
       (13) Transparent WTO dispute settlement enhances WTO 
     members' understanding of the dispute settlement system, 
     particularly for those who do not participate often in the 
     system.
       (14) Open dispute settlement promotes the accountability, 
     professionalism, and impartiality of WTO adjudicators, to the 
     benefit of the dispute settlement system as a whole.
       (15) Many WTO members have failed to meet basic 
     notification obligations making it difficult and, in some 
     cases, impossible to monitor or determine their compliance 
     with WTO obligations, including subsidies disciplines.
       (16) The United States has encouraged, by proposing various 
     incentives and administrative measures, better compliance 
     with notification obligations.
       (17) The WTO allows members to self-identify as developing 
     countries in order to receive special and differential 
     treatment.
       (18) Some self-declared developing countries that are now 
     advanced continue to demand the same special and differential 
     treatment intended for much smaller, less developed members, 
     creating asymmetries that hinder the WTO from achieving 
     meaningful outcomes in current and future negotiations.
       (19) For over a decade, most WTO members have refused to 
     engage in serious efforts to address longstanding United 
     States calls for reform of dispute settlement and other 
     important aspects of the WTO system.
       (20) WTO members are engaged in negotiations to reform the 
     WTO and create new rules, including with respect to fisheries 
     subsidies and e-commerce.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the United States should continue to lead reform 
     efforts to ensure that the World Trade Organization (WTO) 
     functions as agreed by the membership and is updated 
     appropriately for the 21st century;
       (2) the United States should continue to urge other WTO 
     members to work with the United States to achieve needed 
     reforms so that the WTO and its members can address 
     unjustified

[[Page H582]]

     barriers to trade and promote economic norms that improve the 
     standard of living across the world; and
       (3) the United States Trade Representative should continue 
     to lead and work with other countries to pursue reforms at 
     the WTO that--
       (A) address concerns with the WTO's Appellate Body;
       (B) improve the efficiency and transparency of dispute 
     settlement proceedings;
       (C) remediate the failure to satisfy notification 
     obligations of the various WTO agreements and develop 
     accountability mechanisms to address this issue proactively;
       (D) discipline the use of special and differential 
     treatment for self-declared developing countries;
       (E) ensure there are platforms to discuss issues related to 
     labor, the environment, and women's economic empowerment; and
       (F) create new rules and structures that can serve the 
     United States interests while promoting peace, prosperity, 
     and open markets and societies.

     Customs Revenue Functions.--
       ``(1) In general.--The Commissioner of U.S. Customs and 
     Border Protection may, subject to subsection (b), 
     consolidate, modify, or reorganize customs revenue functions 
     delegated to the Commissioner under subsection (a), including

     the Commissioner, the Director of the Office of Personnel 
     Management shall establish new position classification 
     standards for any new positions established by the

       (b) Technical Correction.--Section 412(a)(1) of the 
     Homeland Security Act of 2002 (6 U.S.C. 212(a)(1)) is amended 
     by striking ``403(a)(1)'' and inserting ``403(1)''.

                              {time}  1430

  Ms. JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may 
consume.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to stand before this body today to speak 
in support of H.R. 4521, the America COMPETES Act of 2022.
  I am very proud to be the sponsor of this bill, and as chairwoman of 
the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, I am especially proud 
of the strong bipartisan bills from my committee that are included in 
this package.
  It is a privilege to be able to come together in the House this week 
to consider this consequential piece of legislation. It is legislation 
that is critical to the future health of our American science and 
innovation enterprise and our Nation's competitiveness.
  The United States has long been a beacon of excellence in science and 
innovation. However, we cannot rest on our laurels. It is time for us 
to revitalize Federal support for the kinds of research and development 
initiatives that enabled us to achieve that excellence in the first 
place.
  We need to take a holistic approach that encompasses everything from 
the state-of-the-art research and development taking place at our 
national labs

[[Page H807]]

to advanced manufacturing facilities that employ and support 
communities across the Nation.
  It is not an understatement to say that we can usher in an exciting 
and prosperous future for American competitiveness with the suite of 
provisions contained in Divisions A and B of the America COMPETES Act. 
These include transformative support for the National Science 
Foundation, the Department of Energy's Office of Science, and the 
National Institute of Standards and Technology.
  In addition, the provisions in this act will enable us to create a 
strong and diverse STEM workforce, one that is ready to address the 
great societal and scientific challenges we face as a nation.
  One of many STEM provisions included in the America COMPETES Act is 
the STEM Opportunities Act. This is an initiative I have been working 
to make law for 15 years and which is needed now more than ever.
  With this legislation, we are making investments to build clean 
energy solutions, address the climate crisis, reinforce our national 
security, enhance our semiconductor manufacturing capabilities, and so 
much more.
  In short, we are acting to address the critical needs identified by 
the scientific community, industry, academia, and other stakeholders as 
what they need most to succeed in the 21st century.
  If we are to continue to lead and be able to compete on a global 
scale, we must chart our own course. The United States has endless 
potential to lead the world in innovation and competitiveness, and the 
America COMPETES Act can supply the driving force to get us there.
  Before I close, I would like to thank Speaker Pelosi and my 
colleagues on and off the Science, Space, and Technology Committee for 
their work in getting us to this point.
  I would also like to thank Ranking Member Lucas for being a 
constructive partner with me to ensure that we passed bipartisan bills 
that incorporated the good ideas put forth by Members on both sides of 
the aisle in our committee.
  Finally, I would like to thank the staff of the Science, Space, and 
Technology Committee for the hard work, dedication, and long hours that 
they have put in throughout this process. I deeply appreciate what they 
have done.
  This is a strong package, one that was put together with the needs of 
each and every American, especially those in historically underserved 
communities, in mind.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge all of my colleagues to support the America 
COMPETES Act of 2022, and I look forward to its swift passage.
  Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. WALTZ. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Mr. Speaker, we are here today to discuss what House Democrats are 
now calling the America COMPETES Act, and frankly, it is a shame. It is 
a shame that they are framing this as a bill about competitiveness. 
While it may have started as just that, it has now morphed into another 
attempt to impose the Democrats' out-of-touch agenda on America.
  Mr. Speaker, the sad reality is that we are in desperate need of a 
competitiveness bill. The Chinese Communist Party is trying to overtake 
us and intends to overtake us as the global leader in science and 
technology because they know that leadership in science directly 
equates to a stronger economy, a more secure homeland, and greater 
influence in ethical standards that underpin all of our emerging 
technologies.
  It is no wonder that the Chinese Communist Party is doing everything 
in its power to take every possible advantage in this global 
competition. The Chinese Communist Party is outspending us on research 
and development. They are graduating more STEM students and building 
their high-tech workforce faster than we are, and they are acquiring 
valuable research and intellectual property through any means 
necessary, absolutely including forced acquisition and theft.
  Mr. Speaker, they are stealing their way to the top, and it is not an 
exaggeration to say that countering China's global influence must be 
one of our highest priorities in Congress.
  The House Science, Space, and Technology Committee with Chairwoman 
Johnson's and Ranking Member Lucas' leadership took on this 
responsibility--and rightly so--and did what the American people expect 
us to do. We spent more than 1 year meeting with stakeholders, 
gathering feedback, finding consensus policies, and passing bipartisan 
legislation. In total, with their leadership and with the great work of 
the Science, Space, and Technology Committee, we passed a dozen bills 
to double down on our investment and transformative basic research, 
build our STEM workforce, and strategically support the most important 
emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, quantum sciences, 
and advanced manufacturing.

  While you will hear about all of those bills that are in this 
package, Mr. Speaker, it is inaccurate to say this is a China bill or a 
competitiveness bill. I want to be crystal clear: This is not 
bipartisan legislation, and it is not focused on the problems at hand.
  If the Speaker and our colleagues, the House Democrats, were serious 
about addressing the threat from the Chinese Communist Party, then they 
would have moved our science bill--those dozen bills--into conference 
months ago. We have been ready to go since June, and everyone who has 
worked on it on both sides of the aisle knows it. That is when the two 
core elements of our package passed the House with overwhelming 
bipartisan support.
  Instead, this body wasted all summer and fall on massive spending 
bills like Build Back Better, and now we have little to show for it. So 
here we are, on Groundhog Day, fittingly and sadly, going through the 
same exercise we have already done multiple times.
  Let's be candid. Democrats are trying to cram through a massive bill 
filled with unnecessary spending that dramatically alters what has 
passed through this House instead of focusing on the issues at hand. 
What started as a bipartisan effort to keep the U.S. globally 
competitive somehow, in the last few weeks, went through the black box 
of Speaker Pelosi's office and emerged as the Build Back Better backup 
plan filled with failed initiatives and progressive demands.
  Instead of addressing competition and the threat from the Communist 
leadership in China, this bill now corrupts good, solid bipartisan work 
I was personally very proud of, and it corrupts it with thousands of 
pages of irrelevant policies.
  What kind of China bill mentions coral reefs more than China?
  There are very real consequences to this bad faith effort. As much as 
85 percent of America's long-term economic growth is due to advances in 
science and technology. We cannot take that continued growth for 
granted.
  I can assure you, Mr. Speaker, when the Chinese Communist Party 
considers how to outpace us in the technologies of the future, they 
aren't wasting their time and money on U.N. climate funds, which, by 
the way, send money right back over to Beijing. We should be taking 
this every bit as seriously as they are.
  I expect my Republican colleagues will share the countless poison 
pills that have been inserted into this bill, so I won't elaborate on 
them here. Instead, I will simply urge my colleagues, with a heavy 
heart, to oppose this bill and urge Democratic leadership to get 
serious about the threat from China.
  Let's stay focused on that threat. Let's go to conference with a 
clean bipartisan competitiveness bill and set our country up for the 
continued economic success that Americans deserve.
  Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the 
outstanding gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Pallone).
  Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, I stand in strong support of the America 
COMPETES Act, legislation that restores a strong and robust American 
manufacturing base that can outcompete any other nation. It will put us 
on course to lead the pack in creating the strongest and most advanced 
economy of the future.
  Over the past 40 years, America's manufacturing sector has lost 
market share to economic competitors like China. This decline in 
manufacturing, coupled with the COVID-19 pandemic, has led to severe 
supply chain disruptions across our economy.

[[Page H808]]

  The America COMPETES Act will strengthen our economy by bolstering 
our Nation's supply chains and ensuring that more critical goods are 
made right here in the United States.
  The legislation invests $45 billion in grants, loans, and loan 
guarantees to support supply chain resilience and manufacturing of 
critical goods, industrial equipment, and manufacturing technology here 
in the U.S.
  It invests $52 billion for the CHIPS for America Act, incentivizing 
private-sector investments in superconductor fabrication in the United 
States. This funding will help eliminate disruptions in the 
superconductor supply chain from abroad that has hurt American 
automakers, medical supply chain companies, and manufacturers of heavy 
machinery.
  It invests $3 billion to help build a domestic solar manufacturing 
supply chain so we can aggressively counter China's control of the 
solar chain that jeopardizes our energy security interests. The bill 
also keeps our electric grid secure and resilient in the face of 
evolving cybersecurity and physical security threats.
  The America COMPETES Act also improves our medical supply chain and 
strengthens our Strategic National Stockpile. During the early days of 
the COVID-19 pandemic, there were widespread shortages of essential 
medicines, medical supplies, and some personal protective equipment. 
This legislation increases our domestic drug manufacturing base by 
expanding the use of advanced and what we call continuous manufacturing 
practices.
  It also establishes a $1.5 billion supply chain manufacturing pilot 
program that will help maintain domestic reserves of critical medical 
supplies. It creates a $10.5 billion program that awards grants to 
States to expand or maintain a strategic stockpile of products 
essential in the event of a public health emergency.
  Finally, Mr. Speaker, the America COMPETES Act innovates our wireless 
supply chain and network security by funding the deployment of cutting-
edge technology and ensuring that next-generation mobile wireless 
networks are safe and secure from foreign adversaries.
  Mr. Speaker, for too long, America has relied too heavily on other 
nations to manufacture critical goods essential to our economy. That 
has to end, and the America COMPETES Act makes the investments to 
ensure that America can outcompete any other nation now and well into 
the future.
  Mr. Speaker, I strongly urge my colleagues to support the bill.
  Mr. WALTZ. Mr. Speaker, I yield 5 minutes to the gentleman from Texas 
(Mr. McCaul), who is the Republican leader of the Foreign Affairs 
Committee.
  Mr. McCAUL. Mr. Speaker, last year, the CCP's hypersonic weapons 
program successfully launched a missile that traveled all the way 
around the world. That program was built on the backbone of U.S. 
technology.
  And as we speak, the Chinese Communist Party is committing genocide 
against their own people. Women are forced to abort their children. 
Families are ripped apart. And all the while, American IP is being used 
to build the CCP's police state to help the CCP surveil and imprison 
the ethnic and religious minorities that they torture.
  A substantive bill that counters the CCP isn't just a national 
security issue; it is a moral issue. That is why any serious 
legislation must include export controls to keep U.S. technology out of 
the hands of the CCP's military and surveillance state.
  The stakes could not be higher, and the outcome hinges on a 
technology race. Unfortunately, this bill takes no meaningful step to 
address this significant risk to U.S. national security. Instead, it is 
a Trojan horse being used to inject $8 billion worth of taxpayer money 
into an unaccountable United Nations slush fund.

                              {time}  1445

  That is more than double the amount of money authorized for actual 
foreign policy programs. This U.N. slush fund has already provided at 
least $100 million directly to China, U.S. taxpayer dollars to a 
country that this Congress, that the former Republican President and 
the current Democrat President have all agreed is committing genocide; 
to a country that even Secretary Kerry admitted is using slave labor to 
make green energy projects, like solar panels and batteries.
  And for some unknown reason, Democrats rejected Republican efforts to 
guarantee that the CCP could not access U.S. taxpayer money in this 
bill.
  But even worse, this legislation could send U.S. taxpayer dollars to 
fund green energy projects built on the CCP's genocide program against 
its own people, to fund their slave labor, to prop up their forced 
abortions.
  Shockingly, Republicans attempted to stop this from happening, to 
stop U.S. taxpayers from funding slave labor, but we were outright 
rejected by the Democrats.
  Mr. Speaker, this is a moral issue. It is the test of our time. If we 
allow this legislation to pass, we will be on the wrong side of 
history. We will be helping the CCP build the future of global energy 
on the foundation of slave labor and genocide.
  And Mr. Speaker, I stand before you today both angry and 
disappointed. This bill could have been the bipartisan crowning 
achievement of this Congress and we could have worked together.
  We could have shown the American people that when it comes to 
generational threats posed by the CCP, that Republicans and Democrats 
can put U.S. interests over special interests; that we can put national 
security over party politics; that we can put morality over money.
  Instead, the gentlewoman from California hijacked this legislation 
that was bicameral, bipartisan; hijacked these negotiations, and threw 
it together in this legislation that she well knew contained provisions 
that Republicans could not support.
  In other words, she chose to turn this into a partisan political 
stunt. And she did it in secret, behind the backs of Republicans, while 
many of us were still negotiating with our Democrat counterparts in 
good faith to find a bipartisan agreement.
  So, Mr. Speaker, the CCP is the most significant economic and 
national security threat the United States faces. The American people 
deserved better than this superficial partisan response.
  I urge my colleagues to vote ``no'' on this immoral bill and stand 
with me against genocide.
  Ms. JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the 
gentlewoman from California (Ms. Waters).
  Ms. WATERS. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of the America COMPETES 
Act. This crucial piece of legislation will strengthen our Nation's 
financial system and allow us to maintain and strengthen our ability to 
compete with the rest of the world, especially with the People's 
Republic of China; that is, PRC.
  After arriving in Congress, I have made it a priority to advance 
legislation to empower American workers and make sure America's economy 
remains competitive for generations to come.
  Under my leadership, the Committee on Financial Services has:
  Reauthorized the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act and the Export-Import 
Bank to benefit American workers, small businesses, and communities 
throughout our country;
  Set aside $60 billion of Paycheck Protection Program, that is PPP, 
funds for community lenders to lend to some of the smallest businesses, 
including minority, and women-owned businesses;
  Protected small investors and businesses from bad practices on Wall 
Street to give everyone a fair shot in our capital markets.
  Today, I continue that leadership with the America COMPETES Act, 
including several provisions from our committee that, among other 
things, will combat ransomware attacks, strengthen Defense Production 
Act authorities to protect the supply chains of medical materials, and 
more.
  I am also pleased to have included my bill to end World Bank and 
Asian Development Bank funding for China, unless such assistance 
contributes a global public good that serves the U.S. national 
interest, such as stopping climate change.
  Moreover, I urge the House to pass the Sherman amendment, which 
strengthens the integrity and, thus, increases the competitiveness of 
our economy and capital markets by adding long overdue transparency to 
the shadow or exempt securities markets.
  Mr. Speaker, this bill will set up our Nation, its businesses and 
workers, to better compete in the world, especially

[[Page H809]]

against the PRC. Let's invest in our Nation's future and get this 
historic bill to the President's desk.
  I urge an ``aye'' vote.
  Mr. WALTZ. Mr. Speaker, I yield 5 minutes to the gentlewoman from 
Washington (Mrs. Rodgers), the Republican leader of the Energy and 
Commerce Committee.
  Mrs. RODGERS of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the gentleman 
yielding.
  I rise in strong opposition to this dangerous bill. This isn't just a 
missed opportunity to boost American competitiveness; it actually will 
set us back on our goal to beat China and win the future.
  I have heard the majority say that if you oppose this bill, you 
aren't in favor of increasing our competitiveness against China. Yet, 
the White House didn't even mention China in its statement of support.
  This is a go-it-alone approach that will actually embolden China; 
ignore the damage of the radical agenda that has been pushed through 
this Congress under one-party rule and what it has done to our ability 
to compete.
  The Chinese Communist Party tries to compete by cheating, stealing, 
and using their centrally controlled economy to pick winners and losers 
through massive government subsidies.
  Instead of embracing free markets and American ingenuity, this bill 
tries to copy that type of an approach of centralized industrial policy 
and massive government handouts that benefit political allies.
  We cannot and we should not even try to beat the Chinese Communist 
Party at their own game. It is not the American way.
  The United States of America has a record. Ours is one where we have 
done more to lift people out of poverty, raise the standard of living, 
cure diseases, spur innovation, more than any other country in the 
history of the world. We have done so by embracing freedom, free 
markets, human rights, and the respect for human dignity; where success 
isn't contingent upon the approval or the direction of the government, 
the Federal Government; where hard work, creative thinking, and risk-
taking are rewarded.
  The approach of this bill ignores this and, instead, attempts to 
cover up the many crises that have been created in the last year under 
the Biden-Harris administration and this majority.
  Virtually every piece of this radical agenda from the last year, 
under one-party rule, has hurt our ability to compete. The war on 
American energy has set back our energy independence and harmed our 
economic and national security, while making us more dependent upon 
China.
  The record amount of spending has created rampant inflation. The 
regulatory agenda has made it more difficult for our businesses.
  Speaker Pelosi's drug pricing control scheme will destroy American 
medical innovation. The radical environmental agenda will make it 
impossible to have a domestic source for critical minerals and 
chemicals needed for advanced manufacturing. And the push to keep our 
schools closed will set back an entire generation of Americans.
  If the Democrats wanted to make America more competitive, they would 
abandon the destructive agenda and work to reform burdensome 
permitting, licensing, and regulatory regimes.
  Sadly, this legislation, driven out of the Speaker's Office, is 
Speaker Pelosi doubling down on that agenda, one that is benefiting 
political allies, leading to rampant waste, fraud, and abuse, and the 
increase of dependence on China.
  You know, there were many bipartisan provisions from the Committee on 
Energy and Commerce included in this bill but, unfortunately, the 
overall bill is extremely problematic. And a previously bipartisan 
program that we had negotiated that would spur development and 
deployment of like, for example, advanced communications 
infrastructure, had labor restrictions attached to them that is only 
going to make it harder for us to lead in 5G and next-gen 
communications.
  It also creates massive slush funds and more grants for Democrats' 
political allies. There is a new grant and loan program at the 
Department of Energy that is Solyndra on steroids, a $3 billion 
domestic solar manufacturing program with less waste, fraud, and abuse 
protections than what had led to Solyndra. It is a supercharged 
Solyndra, that will benefit China, which controls critical minerals and 
parts for solar panels.
  There is a $45 billion supply chain program that is also for their 
political allies, prioritizing labor unions, Blue State mayors and 
Governors, and other allies over businesses and entities that could 
actually make our supply chains more resilient.
  I urge my colleagues to abandon this plan. Let's not surrender our 
competitive edge to China. Let's work on real solutions that will make 
us more competitive, win the future, and offer a better life for all.
  Ms. JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the 
gentlewoman from New York (Mrs. Carolyn B. Maloney).
  Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York. Mr. Speaker, I thank the 
gentlewoman for yielding, and for her leadership.
  I rise in strong support of the America COMPETES Act. As our country 
fights to emerge from this pandemic, the policies of the Biden-Harris 
administration increased GDP by 5.7 percent in 2021, with the last 
quarter clocking in at an impressive 6.9 percent Gross Domestic 
Product.
  But we cannot return to the pre-pandemic status quo in which 
geopolitical adversaries, like China, threatened our industrial base, 
supply chains, intellectual property, technological security, and 
global leadership and innovation.
  The America COMPETES Act will protect and enhance the competitive 
edge of America's workers, businesses, and economy, which other nations 
are seeking to undermine.
  Nowhere are the intentions of our adversaries clearer than in the 
cyber realm. Over the past several years, the country has been rocked, 
rocked by major attacks by cybercriminals like China and Russia.
  Just this morning, our committee approved a sweeping, bipartisan bill 
to modernize and improve the cybersecurity framework of the Federal 
Government. But these efforts will be hindered if we don't have the 
right personnel in place to implement our Federal policies.
  The America COMPETES Act will help address this by including H.R. 
3599, a bipartisan bill by Ro Khanna and Nancy Mace, which establishes 
a rotation program for cybersecurity professionals at Federal agencies.
  The America COMPETES Act also includes H.R. 4469, a bill I led with 
Representatives Lynch and Raskin, to ensure the Privacy and Civil 
Liberties Oversight Board has the authority and resources it needs to 
protect civil liberties through oversight of artificial intelligence 
use of executive agencies.
  The America COMPETES Act will ensure that America can compete and win 
in the economy of the future, and it positions the Federal Government 
in a way to lead the way forward. There is so much to say about it.
  My time has expired. This is a must vote if you want America to be 
competitive in the world economy.
  Mr. WALTZ. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
California (Mr. McCarthy), the Republican leader.
  Mr. McCARTHY. Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the gentleman for 
yielding. But more importantly, I want to thank him for his service to 
this country.
  After ignoring the China threat for years, House Democrats finally 
introduced a bill that is allegedly tough on China. They call it the 
America COMPETES Act.
  But make no mistake: It is a bill that concedes to China. The America 
concedes act is Democrats' desperate answer to their stream of self-
created crises.
  While it contains some provisions supported by Republicans, Speaker 
Pelosi is holding these good ideas hostage by using this 3,000-page 
bill as a vehicle for the party's far-left agenda.
  Almost every page of the Democrats' concedes act has a provision that 
helps China but hurts America.
  Now, I know 3,000 pages is a lot to read, and my friends may not 
always get the opportunity, Mr. Speaker, to read it before they vote on 
it. So I want to take an opportunity here to actually give you some of 
the pages and what it actually does.
  Now, here are just a few excerpts. On page 1689, it provides a new, 
unlimited green card program for the Chinese Communist Party to 
exploit.

[[Page H810]]

  


                              {time}  1500

  It also allows research funds to freely flow to colleges and 
universities that host Confucius Institutes which are essentially CCP 
propaganda centers. They literally censor our colleges and campuses.
  These policies would make our Nation more vulnerable to Chinese 
espionage. In fact, the threat of Chinese spying in America is so 
widespread that the FBI has 2,000 active cases. Think about that. There 
are 2,000, almost as many pages as this bill is. They open a new case 
every 12 hours. So as we debate this bill for the next few days, there 
will be six new cases opened.
  I wonder what they would do. How far would the Chinese spy? I have 
watched a lot of Hollywood movies. I don't know. Could you imagine? 
Would they go as far and as deep to even meet somebody and spy on them 
when they are on the city council?
  Would they develop a friendship through a college like we see here 
with Confucius? Maybe they would even help if the city council person 
wanted to run for Congress. Maybe they would go as far as, if this 
person runs for Congress and they had developed this long relationship 
from meeting in college, to offer to put people in their office, to 
help them work in that office, the interns. It would be good.
  Could they go as far as this person that got elected to Congress may 
be just in their second term to get on one of the most influential 
committees, the Committee on Intelligence? Could they go that far? With 
the FBI opening up cases every 12 hours, if this person got on the 
Committee on Intelligence, they would probably warn leadership here 
about that, I would imagine, because they wouldn't know. If leadership 
was warned about it, instantly that Member probably would not be on a 
committee where they could hear secrets that Members here don't get to 
know. Surely that person would not still be on that committee. I don't 
know if this is Hollywood or not.
  Mr. Speaker, what if that Member even wanted to run for President 
after that? That would be shocking to me. It is probably too Hollywood. 
It couldn't be true. It couldn't happen in today's world. I don't know. 
The FBI has 2,000 active cases, and they open a new one every 12 hours.
  So what are you doing to stop that? Oh, we are going to help them. We 
are going to give them more money. We are going to give them a green 
card program. I am sure, when the FBI warns of the next, maybe that 
person could even become a subcommittee chair on the Committee on 
Intelligence. That couldn't happen in America. I just know with new 
leadership it won't be allowed.
  On page 995, it requests a toothless report from the Biden 
administration on the origins of COVID. Instead of taking action to get 
real accountability, it is going to ask for a report. Now this 
leadership could open a lot of select committees. They do that quite 
often. Why don't we have a select committee on the origins of COVID?
  I know we are going to debate this bill for a couple of days. Today, 
I just got a notice we were going to have a memorial this week on the 
steps of the Capitol like we had before, because 900,000 Americans have 
now died because of COVID. That got postponed. I don't know if you know 
why it was postponed. Was it postponed because we were debating this 
bill and we didn't want to put them together at the same time? I am not 
sure of that. I don't know. It is a question I would wonder.
  Mr. Speaker, the bigger question I would wonder is, instead of just 
sitting out there and giving a moment of silence, why wouldn't we give 
them more time to explain why those 900,000 in America died, let alone 
the millions around the world where it originated from? Don't you think 
that would be a better use of our time? I know with the new leadership 
we will have that committee.
  On page 1396, it directs the American military to train to combat 
climate change. How does that compete? I always thought the American 
military would be trained to defend America, to protect America. But lo 
and behold this Congress on page 1396 is going to direct the American 
military to train to combat climate change. If the leadership in this 
Congress was different, I know that would not be in there.
  On page 1645, this is very important for competing. It creates a 
Coral Reef Task Force because, you know, a Coral Reef Task Force, 
somebody can cut himself, but 900,000 Americans can die of COVID, but 
you can't have a task force on that to know where it originated from. 
If anybody gets hurt from a coral reef, we have got the task force 
right here in this building. That is going to make America compete like 
no other country can.
  On page 227, it creates a new Federal program to study plumbing. Mr. 
Speaker, I will tell you we don't need any new program to study 
plumbing. If anybody here wants to study plumbing, I know Markwayne 
Mullin will give you a class day in and day out. Nobody is finer. He 
has proven it. This is going to make America compete?
  Mr. Speaker, 900,000 Americans can die, but you are not going to do 
anything about understanding where the origin was created. We are 
getting spied on every single day, all the way down to city council, 
but we are not doing anything there. We are actually going to fund it 
and let them do more. When it comes to coral reefs and plumbing, we are 
going to excel.
  On page 1392, it gives $8 billion. Can you imagine $8 billion? How do 
we get $8 billion? We take it from the taxpayer. How does the taxpayer 
get $8 billion? They wake up in the morning. They work. They are paying 
more for gas. They are paying more for their milk, for their eggs, for 
their breakfast. They are paying more for the masks they have got to 
put on their kids, if the schools are even open. They earn less because 
inflation hits them every day, but what we are going to do is take more 
of their money.
  Mr. Speaker, $8 billion, what would this Congress invest in? Well, 
they are going to give it to the unaccountable U.N. Green Climate Fund.
  Now what have they done with this fund? Where does this money go? If 
it is really worthy, I am sure the American taxpayer would offer $8 
billion more for this Congress to decide where they should be able to 
send that so their kids can't enjoy maybe a day at Disneyland or 
somewhere else or simply to be able to pay their electricity bill that 
continues to rise.

  Well, the U.N. is very, very accountable for this. They have already 
funneled $100 million to China. So how does the America COMPETES Act do 
anything to China but provide them more money? Whose money are they 
provided? You are taking it from the hardworking American taxpayer to 
give to China through the U.N. Maybe they can buy more solar panels and 
batteries made by the slave labor in China but paid for by the American 
taxpayer. I don't think that does much to help us to compete.
  Now, Republicans have offered amendments to prevent China from using 
that money. Wouldn't it seem like it would be an easy vote? I think it 
would be hands down. I would really be interested in knowing who in 
this body has constituents that have raised their hand and said they 
will give $8 billion of their hard-earned taxpayer money so we can send 
it to the U.N. for the Green Climate Fund that has given China $100 
million. I would like to know that district.
  We offered the amendment to stop it. Do you know what is so 
interesting? There has to be at least 218 districts that want to do 
that because it failed. The Democrats said no. They are in the 
majority. So it had to be your districts. I am not sure if any of you 
have taken a poll on that. Maybe I am wrong.
  Mr. Speaker, all of these far-left policies would make America more 
vulnerable. We might be stronger in the coral reef, but in everything 
else we are going to be more vulnerable when it comes to China.
  Mr. Speaker, Democrats have spent this debate defending none of them. 
Earlier this week the Biden White House never mentioned the word China 
in a letter to the House Democrats, urging them to support the America 
COMPETES Act.
  How is that possible, Mr. Speaker? This is the White House with an 
administration that has worked closely with this Democrat leadership. 
This bill is all based upon competes, making us stronger against China. 
The only thing I could think of is the White House must have read the 
bill, because there is nothing in there that actually makes

[[Page H811]]

us stronger against China, only weaker. So I guess they didn't want to 
mention it.
  Now Democrats seem to be pivoting to talking about the economy. You 
should be so proud of what you have done to the economy because you 
have changed it. You have changed it drastically. It looks worse today 
than it did 1 year ago. We have just passed the 1-year anniversary of 
one-party rule. I am not sure you can blame other people for it. You 
can show what you accomplished. Some have even said that this $320 
billion will help reduce inflation. That is deja vu all over again.
  Mr. Speaker, we were on this floor and lo and behold it became a 
moment in time where no longer did we want to do anything bipartisan 
when it came to COVID because now you had the Senate. You had the White 
House. So I guess you think you didn't need to do that. So you came up 
with this great idea to spend almost $2 trillion. You know what? I 
can't blame you because it is kind of similar to this bill. Title it 
COVID but only spent 9 percent on it. Spend $2 trillion. We come to the 
floor, and we debate.
  Mr. Speaker, we actually warned you. There were moments in time I 
thought, should we warn you or should we not? But I care too much about 
the country. It is too much pain. If you make this bill go through and 
you spend $2 trillion, you are going to create inflation, a tax on 
every single American. Oh, no, no, no, you said. Lo and behold, a year 
later, we were right again.
  Don't make the same mistake twice. Don't bring a bill where even the 
President won't mention China. And don't lie to the American public 
that it's going to make us stronger. If you are talking about the coral 
reef bill, go right ahead.
  It is not a surprise that Democrats want to change the subject. 
Unfortunately, China is not waiting around for us to act. The real 
threats we face should remind all of us about the importance of leading 
by example and putting America first. That starts with taking the 
threat of China seriously.
  Mr. Speaker, I believe personally the two greatest threats to the 
future of this country are the size of our debt and China. No matter 
what you study in history, every great society that overextends 
themselves collapses.
  We have $30 trillion in debt, larger than our economy. You are here, 
wanting to take more money to give to the U.N. to give to China. You 
want to take more money to study plumbing. We all know water goes 
downhill. You want to take more money to study the coral reef. You want 
to tell the American public that we are going to be better, that we are 
going to be able to compete.
  Mr. Speaker, I don't sit here just to criticize. I tried to work, to 
do it together, to make it better. House Republicans have tried to work 
with Democrats on important issues. Three years ago, I remember 
traveling to the 75th anniversary of Normandy. It is an unbelievable 
location. I remember a lot of the Members went together. I went with 
Speaker Pelosi.
  I remember walking through the cemetery. You look at those headstones 
from the Star of David to the cross. All the names were young men who 
died, all about the same age and close in proximity. All died in about 
the same timeframe. As you reflect on their life, you begin to reflect 
on the position that we currently serve.

                              {time}  1515

  What action could have been done that that day never had to take 
place? It wouldn't be a week before or a month before; it would be 
years before. What position, what policy could we have done then as a 
country that D-day didn't have to take place?
  In doing so, as I ponder this, as we were sitting on foreign soil and 
we were watching as Americans gave the ultimate sacrifice, their 
lives--with the Speaker and others--and knowing what I think about our 
debt and China, I asked the Speaker, could we create a committee, a 
select committee--make it an equal number of Republicans and Democrats 
so politics is out of it--to focus on not only making America compete, 
but compete against China, from our critical minerals, from our medical 
supplies, and others; that we could have a real plan that could come 
out united as one.
  Now, I didn't give up. I worked on it for like 8 months. I talked to 
the majority leader, Steny Hoyer. I will tell you, we finally came to 
agreement, and the answer was yes. I was so excited.
  We worked on who would we appoint. We wanted to make it right. We 
worked hard on it. We even came back, when the Democrats said it had to 
be a smaller committee, I said, ``Okay, I will make it smaller just so 
we can do it.''
  In February 2020, a joint release was ready to go out. This is how 
far we came. I don't know if you know the reporter Josh Rogin with the 
Washington Post? We even brought him in to interview the Members of 
Congress who were going to be appointed to this committee so we could 
have a story about it. That is how close we were.
  But just as that press release was ready to hit the button to go at 
the time, on 2-24, Chairman Engel's staff said some small things needed 
to be changed.
  March 18, the early days of China coronavirus outbreak, and the 
cover-up came out. A study published in March indicated that if Chinese 
authorities had acted 3 weeks earlier than they did, the number of 
cases could have been reduced by 95 percent. I am sure that committee 
could have found a lot of that.
  On May 7, 2020, The Washington Post wrote, ``GOP to Launch China Task 
Force,'' because I wanted the Democrats to stay with us. We had the 
reports; we had the names; we had everything; but they said no. They 
said no. Three years ago they said no.
  This select committee was not going to study the coral reef, was not 
going to study plumbing, was simply going to focus on how does America 
compete for the future, what do we need to compete against China. That 
is all we were going to do. We were not going to take $8 billion and 
give it to the U.N. to give to China. We weren't going to do any of 
that.
  So we went ahead without you. That was May 7. One week later, Mr. 
Speaker, on May 14, the Speaker of this House, Nancy Pelosi, said: 
``Trump's focus on China is an interesting diversion.'' An interesting 
diversion. Think about where we are today and if we had acted back 
then.
  Today, Mr. Speaker, Speaker Pelosi says the only thing is the GOP may 
not want the President to have a victory, which is a sad statement on 
their part because this is really a jobs issue and a national security 
issue. Well, I am not sure, because in reading the bill, if it is a 
jobs issue, I guess she takes that from the plumbing study. A national 
security issue, I guess making our military trained against climate 
change. But why couldn't we have done that 3 years ago, to have a real 
committee?
  Three years ago the bipartisan talks for the China Task Force, it did 
take me a year, but unfortunately Speaker Pelosi walked away. Luckily 
for America, the House Republicans started the task force anyway.
  We quickly delivered hundreds of specific recommendations that 
addressed every part of the China threat. There wasn't one bill on 
plumbing or one bill on the coral reef.
  In October of 2020 our China Task Force released something no 
Congress in history has done before, a comprehensive blueprint to guide 
our response to China. I am proud that it is the most thorough report 
on China in the history of Congress. I am proud that it is bold, 
achievable, and realistic. It identifies the threat of Communist China. 
It doesn't reward them with money.
  Two-thirds of those recommendations are bipartisan, and one-third 
have already passed the House or the Senate. And we did not stop there.
  On the issue of COVID, perhaps the greatest offense China has 
committed, House Republicans offered eight reasonable solutions to 
achieve justice for Americans and to hold China accountable, including 
relocating the Olympics from Beijing.
  Mr. Speaker, those opening ceremonies are going to be quite 
interesting. President Xi and President Putin are probably going to be 
arm in arm. I don't know, we might be arm in arm, I don't know the 
exact day we are going to go out to pay tribute to the 900,000 
Americans who died from COVID. More in the last year than the year 
before.

[[Page H812]]

  No select committee here to study the origins of it. Wouldn't you 
want to know? None of those families can sue the people who created it. 
That was one of the recommendations. I kind of think that would be 
common sense. I kind of think we both could get to the same place.
  Meanwhile, House Democrats picked this week of all weeks to finally 
put a weak bill that requests moving the Games. Yeah, if you wait to 
that very last day, I bet you could do it then, 2 days before they 
begin. Frankly, it is too little and too late. I bet you China laughs 
just like they laugh at this bill.
  The actions of the majority tell you all you need to know about who 
they truly want to help--themselves, their corporate allies, and the 
Chinese Communist Party.
  Mr. Speaker, I do not know what the Communist Party has on the 
majority party here, but it must be powerful. It must be powerful. To 
be that close to have a select committee, to have the reporter who 
already had written the story to get pulled away, to have 900,000 
American lives taken, and you move the date.
  I don't know why, but could it be this bill at this time? There is 
nothing in this bill to study the origins; there is nothing in this 
bill to give those families the right to be compensated for the life 
they lost. But there is money in here for China. There is money in here 
to give more green cards. There is money in here where the institutes 
could be continued.

  Mr. Speaker, I implore my colleagues to take some time and think 
deeply about what our country stands for. It certainly isn't this 
political stunt by the majority.
  Mr. Speaker, I will never question somebody's patriotism. The only 
thing I ask is if you were there on the 75th anniversary of Normandy, 
and you walked through, and you read those names, and you ever wondered 
what could have been done beforehand, I think you would know this is 
not the right path. I would hope you would have the political courage 
to say so, and I would hope you would have the will to vote ``no,'' not 
because your political life depends on it, but because America's future 
depends on it.
  Ms. JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the 
gentlewoman from Massachusetts (Ms. Clark).
  Ms. CLARK of Massachusetts. Mr. Speaker, I want to start by thanking 
Chairwoman Johnson for all of her leadership and her diligence in 
bringing the America COMPETES Act to the floor.
  Once again, Democrats are answering the economic challenges we face 
with real solutions. What we didn't hear in the last 20 minutes or so 
was anything about how this act is going to strengthen our supply 
chain, it is going to create American jobs, and it is going to bring 
families lower costs and fully stocked shelves. It will improve our 
national security and global competitiveness by reducing our reliance 
on semiconductor production abroad and supporting innovation and 
research right here at home.
  What is more, this act not only creates great jobs but invests in our 
STEM workforce, helping it to better represent the diversity of our 
Nation and create better outcomes for everyone.
  With this bill, Americans will feel the benefits of our work in 
Washington at the gas pump, the car dealership, and the grocery store. 
I am proud to vote ``yes'' for this act that will turbocharge our 
economy and national security.
  Mr. WALTZ. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from 
North Carolina (Ms. Foxx), the Republican leader of the Education and 
Labor Committee.
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, the Democrats' China bill will weaken the 
United States on the world stage. This legislation isn't about 
competing with China. This bill is about appeasing China.
  This is a bill without teeth, and it does too little to confront the 
Chinese Communist Party while simultaneously curbing the success and 
opportunities of American job creators and workers. Contrary to my 
colleague's statements just now, this bill is not positive for our 
workforce.
  By further centralizing apprenticeship programs and giving unions 
unfair advantage over small businesses, this bill closes pathways to 
success for many American workers.
  This legislation also fails to curb the CCP's influence at our 
universities and workplaces. Where there should be action, Democrats 
promote inaction. Where there should be strength, Democrats show 
weakness. Where there should be security, Democrats make our country 
more vulnerable. This is not the America COMPETES Act. This is the 
America concedes act.
  Ms. JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman 
from California (Mr. Huffman).
  Mr. HUFFMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of this 
legislation, particularly the natural resource provisions, much 
maligned by the minority Member just now. However, the health of our 
ecosystems and the industries that depend on healthy ecosystems are 
part of our natural infrastructure. That is part of our 
competitiveness, too.
  Case in point, seafood supply chains. We know foreign fisheries do 
not have the same environmental and labor standards we have here in the 
U.S. Illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, or IUU fishing, is a 
scourge. In the United States we intend to do something about it. I am 
proud to lead a bipartisan bill with my colleague from Louisiana, 
Garret Graves. That bill has been largely incorporated into the America 
COMPETES Act. It will help level the playing field for American fishing 
industries, and it is part of what will make us more competitive in the 
long run.
  Mr. Speaker, I want to urge my colleagues to support this important 
legislation.
  Mr. WALTZ. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from 
Nebraska (Mr. Smith).
  Mr. SMITH of Nebraska. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to H.R. 
4521, the so-called America COMPETES Act.
  The trade division of this bill falls squarely within the Ways and 
Means Committee's jurisdiction, yet the first time we saw these 
provisions was last week when bill text was released by House 
Democrats. There was no committee process, no interest in putting 
together a thoughtfully vetted solution to address China.
  In fact, House Democrats wouldn't even bring my TPA amendment to the 
floor for a vote, an amendment that reflected years of bipartisan work 
and consensus about the importance of a close partnership between 
Congress and every President to achieve high-standard, enforceable 
trade agreements that open new markets for American goods and services.
  Instead, what we have before us today is a bill that fails to address 
China and fails American small businesses and consumers with provisions 
that would actually discourage work during a workforce shortage by 
expanding and delinking Trade Adjustment Assistance from new trade 
opportunities.

                              {time}  1530

  It would add more red tape to and narrows eligibility of trade 
programs like GSP and MTB that small businesses and manufacturers rely 
on to compete in the global marketplace.
  It would also exacerbate the supply chain crisis by making unvetted 
changes to the de minimis rules. That would also do nothing to address 
the administration's minimal effort to compete with China in the Indo-
Pacific and around the world.
  Clearly, this bill is more about talking points than actual effective 
and proactive policymaking.
  President Biden and his party may be content with America sitting on 
the sidelines as China and our other competitors set global trade 
standards and divvy up the world's consumers, but I am not.
  This is a missed opportunity to spur momentum on a proactive trade 
agenda, protect American innovation, and alleviate some of the supply 
chain and workforce pressures our Nation is facing.
  Therefore, I will vote ``no'' on this legislation, and I urge my 
colleagues to do the same.
  Ms. JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman 
from Virginia (Mr. Scott).
  Mr. SCOTT of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman from 
Texas for her hard work on this legislation.
  Mr. Speaker, the success and security of America's economy depends on 
the

[[Page H813]]

strength of our workforce. That is why the America COMPETES Act 
connects students and workers with the skills they need to succeed in 
high-tech industries while strengthening our economy's competitiveness 
in the years ahead.
  The investments in this bill increase equitable access to computer 
science education and postsecondary STEM pathways. The legislation also 
builds on bipartisan support for apprenticeships by creating nearly 1 
million new registered apprenticeship opportunities over the next 5 
years.
  The America COMPETES Act also includes protection so the jobs created 
in this bill will pay a decent wage.
  Mr. Speaker, this legislation provides investments that we need to 
secure a brighter future for our Nation's workers and our economy. I 
urge my colleagues to support this critical legislation.
  Mr. WALTZ. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from 
Oklahoma (Mrs. Bice).
  Mrs. BICE of Oklahoma. Mr. Speaker, I thank my friend from Florida 
for yielding. I rise today in strong opposition to the so-called 
America COMPETES Act.
  This legislation is climate funding disguised as foreign policy, and 
it will funnel millions of taxpayer dollars to the Chinese economy.
  While I support the CHIPS Act funding in this bill, the overall 
package is a disaster.
  As a member of the Science, Space, and Technology Committee, we have 
advanced bipartisan legislation that increases STEM opportunities and 
clean energy research. Instead of passing these bills that strengthen 
American competitiveness against China, Democrats have poisoned 
bipartisan efforts by including billions in wasteful spending.
  Later today, the House will consider my amendment to block the $8 
billion for the U.N.'s green climate slush fund until we have insight 
into how emission reduction targets are set and their impacts on our 
economy.
  This type of scientific transparency shouldn't be a partisan issue. 
This far-left legislation weakens our stance against China and 
threatens our economy and national security.
  I urge my colleagues to oppose this misguided and wasteful bill.
  Ms. JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the 
gentlewoman from Michigan (Ms. Stevens).
  Ms. STEVENS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of this bill. I 
rise in support of American supply chains. I rise in support of the 
American workforce. I rise in support of advanced manufacturing. I rise 
in support of autoworkers who are waiting for those chips.
  I thank the incredible chairwoman from the Science, Space, and 
Technology Committee, Congresswoman Johnson.
  We ask ourselves often as policymakers what the world is going to 
look like in 10 years, in 20 years, in 30 years, what we can do today 
to ensure that my neighbors in southeastern Michigan are on a strong 
path to succeed right here and now for the rest of the 21st century. 
The Democrats have come yet again to save the day and get the job done 
for our economy.
  The America COMPETES Act--this legislation that we are debating today 
will answer the big questions. It will secure our competitive edge for 
generations to come. It is an investment in our people. And it reflects 
on our ability to reach higher, think deeper, and invent solutions to 
not only today's problems but tomorrow's challenges as well.
  I will always bet on the American workforce. My job in Congress is to 
connect people to the tools that unlock our future, and those tools are 
in this bill, turbocharging America's leadership in science and 
technology, a doubling of scientific investment, and a plan for our 
supply chains, including how we address climate change.
  It also mends the acute stressors that we are all feeling today. I 
was talking to my car dealership just yesterday, and they are scared of 
being out of work.
  Let's get this done as of today.
  Over the past 30 years, the U.S. manufacturing capacity for 
semiconductors has collapsed. The crazy thing is that the U.S. led the 
world in inventing them.
  Let's come together. Let's get this done.
  Mr. WALTZ. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Iowa 
(Mr. Feenstra).
  Mr. FEENSTRA. Mr. Speaker, I thank my friend from Florida for 
yielding.
  China will stop at nothing to try and surpass the United States as 
the world's greatest superpower, and we have the tools at our disposal 
to counter this growing threat of the Chinese Communist Party. But this 
nearly $325 billion bill prioritizes liberal Build Back Better and 
Green New Deal provisions over real solutions to compete with China.

  Mr. Speaker, $8 billion of the so-called America COMPETES Act funds 
the United Nations' green climate slush fund, which destroys American 
industry, harms American workers, and prevents us from competing with 
China on a level playing field. In fact, the U.N. has awarded $100 
million from this fund to China.
  The House bill leaves out the critical fact that China is our 
greatest political foe.
  It also fails to mention the word ``genocide'' anywhere in describing 
the CCP's systemic human rights abuses against the ethnic Uyghur 
population.
  Unfortunately, this bill only compounds the damages from the Biden 
administration's $40 billion giveaway in no-strings-attached IMF money 
to the CCP last spring. This is wrong.
  Ms. JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the 
gentlewoman from California (Ms. Lofgren).
  Ms. LOFGREN. Mr. Speaker, I thank Chairwoman Johnson and House 
leadership for finding a path forward on this important bill.
  I am so pleased to see renewed enthusiasm for Federal scientific 
investment under this administration and in this Congress.
  The investments contained in the bill could hardly be more urgent. 
Over the past few decades, Federal investment in research and 
development has flatlined as a share of the overall U.S. economy. 
Meanwhile, our global competitors are jump-starting innovation and 
economic growth by accelerating investment. Without action, they will 
soon outpace us.
  America needs to improve the speed and scale of scientific research 
while promoting innovative solutions.
  This is a matter of national security.
  Members of the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee have 
worked hard to advance bipartisan innovation bills included in this 
package as strong counterparts to the Senate-passed U.S. Innovation and 
Competition Act. The proposals offer a strategic and sustainable plan 
to grow American science, innovation, and technology to ensure our 
investments are aligned with the best interests of our scientific 
enterprise and builds on successful prior efforts. It includes 
provisions to diversify our workforce.
  Additionally, to firmly establish the U.S. as a global leader in 
innovation and to compete for generations to come, we must build our 
domestic STEM workforce and encourage startup companies to establish 
roots here.
  While increasing STEM scholarships for U.S. students, the act 
simultaneously draws the world's best and brightest STEM doctoral 
recipients and company founders to the U.S. It ensures that individuals 
who earned STEM doctoral degrees from top research universities will be 
eligible for permanent residence.
  Unlike Canada, the United Kingdom, and Germany, our laws don't 
provide a visa option for company founders to start a new venture and 
create jobs in the United States. This act would fix this.
  I thank Priscilla Kim on my staff for the hard work she put into 
this, and once again, I thank our most wonderful chairwoman, Eddie 
Bernice Johnson.
  Mr. WALTZ. Mr. Speaker, I yield 4 minutes to the gentleman from the 
great State of Texas (Mr. Weber).
  Mr. WEBER of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding 
me time.
  Mr. Speaker, when I testified before the Rules Committee yesterday on 
behalf of the Science, Space, and Technology Committee Republicans, I 
expressed my frustration with the process that got us here. At nearly 
3,000 pages, H.R. 4521 is a partisan package tossed together by 
Democratic leadership behind closed doors with no Republican input--
probably the only thing they lacked was the cigar smoke.

[[Page H814]]

  As I stand before you today, Mr. Speaker, my serious concerns with 
the America COMPETES Act have only increased. After a back-room process 
last night, 261 out of the over 600 submitted amendments were made in 
order, and there seems to be no rhyme or reason why, Mr. Speaker.
  That is right. This week, we are going to consider 261 amendments to 
a 3,000-page bill. Frankly, the sheer number of the amendments reflects 
what happens when rank and file Members on both sides of the aisle are 
not given an opportunity to legislate in their respective committees.
  This is a stark contrast, Mr. Speaker, to the way we do business on 
the Science, Space, and Technology Committee. The fact that there are a 
dozen bipartisan Science, Space, and Technology Committee bills mixed 
up in this bag of poison pills only adds to the confusion.
  On that note, I want to be very clear. Just because this 3,000-page 
behemoth has bipartisan bills in it does not mean it is a bipartisan 
bill. Those bipartisan bills were hijacked and misused for political 
gamesmanship.
  The plain truth is that the hundreds of unrelated partisan policies 
that were crammed into this bill ruined any chance of bipartisanship.
  Mr. Speaker, I am disappointed in this wasted opportunity. We have 
had shared momentum to take action on China.
  Instead of voting on this partisan catchall bill with more references 
to coral reefs than to China, let's focus on what is most important. I 
don't know, how about strengthening American competitiveness and 
holding China accountable for its actions?
  We should get back to prioritizing truly productive legislation--by 
that, I mean bipartisan--to increase our international competitiveness 
like H.R. 3593, the DOE Science for the Future Act, which passed the 
House last summer with 351 votes, I might add.
  Mr. Speaker, the stakes are higher than ever, and we cannot afford to 
put our national security and prosperity at risk.
  Mr. Speaker, it is kind of ironic. The leftists on the other side of 
the aisle have ignored the Chinese threat for years, and now they have 
suddenly got religion. It is kind of ironic.
  Now that I think about it, Mr. Speaker, the America COMPETES Act may 
actually be a good title as the so-called America COMPETES Act may 
indeed compete as one of the worst bills ever.

  For that reason, I urge my colleagues to oppose this legislation.
  Ms. JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman 
from New York (Mr. Tonko).
  Mr. TONKO. Mr. Speaker, we are in a global economic competition, but 
for far too long, we have neglected the research, workforce 
development, and manufacturing needs to ensure America is the world's 
leader in critical industries of the future.
  Take, for example, the United States semiconductor industry, which 
has seen its share of chip production drop in recent decades. This bill 
would reverse that trend through a $52 billion investment to fund the 
CHIPS for America Act, reinvigorating American leadership in the 
microchip technology arena.
  The America COMPETES Act also includes my Micro Act, which will 
complement the provisions in the CHIPS for America Act by accelerating 
early-stage microelectronics research to feed into the National 
Semiconductor Technology Center and manufacturing facilities funded by 
this bill.
  New York's Capital Region has been home to trailblazers in the 
microelectronics industry for over two decades. I am proud that this 
legislation would indeed allow them to continue to innovate and compete 
on the global stage.
  Chairwoman Johnson has done a tremendous job leading us to this 
moment. The work she has done with the Science, Space, and Technology 
Committee has ensured this groundbreaking legislation responds to the 
needs of the scientific community, industry, and the American people. I 
thank her and the committee for their efforts and urge my colleagues to 
support the passage of the America COMPETES Act. It sharpens America's 
competitive edge.

                              {time}  1545

  Mr. WALTZ. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from 
Kentucky (Mr. Barr).
  Mr. BARR. Mr. Speaker, let's be clear, the so-called America COMPETES 
Act, is not about countering the threat from the Chinese Communist 
Party. It is a subterfuge intended to conceal what this legislation is 
actually about, a repackaged Build Back Better, and the Democrats' 
backup plan to push their Green New Deal agenda.
  It is $350 billion in deficit spending to pay off the climate 
activists and the labor unions that run the Democrat Party. It sends 
$10 billion of taxpayer funds to a climate slush fund at the U.N. that 
subsidizes solar projects in China that use Uyghur slave labor.
  The bill implements a Supply Chain Resiliency Program that gives 
preferential treatment to labor unions, a scheme designed more to 
maintain resiliency for Democratic Party fundraising than resiliency of 
our supply chains. The bill references coral reefs more times than 
China and climate change twice as much as national security.
  The bill bans overfishing and the sale of shark fins from the 
Pacific, but it doesn't put more Virginia-class subs in the Pacific. It 
doesn't put more forward class aircraft carriers in the Pacific. It 
does nothing to hold the CCP accountable for the origins of COVID at 
the Wuhan Institute of Virology. By trying to copy China's Big 
Government, central planning, industrial policy, the bill would 
actually make the United States less, not more, competitive. We cannot 
out-compete China by trying to become more like China.
  But most troubling of all and what underscores that this bill is not 
a serious effort to confront the very real economic and security 
challenges posed by the People's Republic of China, is the fact that 
this bill completely disregards the work of the China Task Force, as 
well as the work of this, the bipartisan United States-China Economic 
and Security Review Commission.
  If this bill were serious, it would take into account these 
recommendations. It does neither of those things. This was a very 
serious effort that this bill completely disregards.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentleman has expired.
  Mr. WALTZ. Mr. Speaker, I yield the gentleman from Kentucky an 
additional 1 minute.
  Mr. BARR. Mr. Speaker, exhibit A of how unserious this bill is when 
it comes to confronting China is how it does nothing to address the key 
challenge facing us from China, and that is the unfettered access that 
the Chinese Communist Party military and surveillance companies now 
have to American capital markets. If we really wanted to confront the 
threat from China, we would protect American investors from unwittingly 
financing and fueling the rise of China. This bill does nothing to 
address that. Right now, American investors are unwittingly fueling the 
civil-military fusion of the Chinese Communist Party.
  The House should pass a real bill, a bill recommended by this report, 
the Chinese Military and Surveillance Company Sanctions Act, that would 
actually address Chinese access to American capital markets.
  Mr. Speaker, today, I urge my colleagues to reject this subterfuge, 
reject this distraction, this bill that they say confronts China but 
does nothing of the sort, that actually assists and enables the rise of 
China. Let's formulate a real strategy that will position us to take on 
the military, economic, and technological threat of the Chinese 
Communist Party.
  Ms. JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the 
gentlewoman from California (Ms. Chu).
  Ms. CHU. Madam Speaker, I rise today in strong support of the America 
COMPETES Act, which will make historic investments in America and 
ensure we remain a global leader in science and technology.
  From climate change to cybersecurity, many of the greatest challenges 
facing our country can only be met through research and innovation that 
will develop new products and create new jobs, but in order to rise to 
this moment, we need to turbocharge America's scientific sector. And 
that is what this bill would do by investing $52 billion for 
semiconductor production here

[[Page H815]]

at home, an investment that will improve the supply chain for almost 
every product in our lives.
  And it modernizes the National Science Foundation to advance 
America's scientific leadership by supporting institutions like 
Caltech, based in my district, which is one of NSF's most trusted 
partners.
  I thank my colleagues today who have modeled responsibility in 
debating this bill by focusing on what we gain and not who we should 
fear.
  Mr. WALTZ. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from 
Illinois (Mr. LaHood).
  Mr. LaHOOD. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding the time.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise today in opposition to the so-called America 
COMPETES Act. Instead of following the productive bipartisan efforts 
initiated in the Senate, House Democrats have chosen the go-it-alone 
approach that fails to meet the urgent needs to strengthen U.S. 
competitiveness and protect our national security as it relates to 
China.
  On the Committee on Ways and Means, I have worked across the aisle on 
China policy with my Democrat colleagues, including trade priorities to 
bring manufacturing back to the United States, to hold China to their 
trade commitments, and to prioritize digital trade agreements with 
like-minded allies to combat China's abusive digital standards.
  Yet here we are today. Democrats are pushing partisan legislation 
stocked with more D.C. control over our economy that fails to address 
the critical trade initiatives to put American workers and businesses 
first and to counter the market distorting and dangerous economic 
practices of China.
  As a member of the Intelligence Committee and the China Task Force, 
and the co-chair of the bipartisan U.S.-China Working Group, I 
understand the unique and urgent action required to strengthen American 
competitiveness and combat growing challenges from China. It is 
disappointing that House Democrats are again ignoring this opportunity 
to work together with Republicans as they did in the Senate, 
Republicans and Democrats together, to put forth a commonsense bill. 
Where is that bill? It is not here.

  We need to address the real challenges presented by China, and 
instead, we are cynically pushing forward unrelated liberal agenda 
items.
  Vote ``no.''
  Ms. JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the 
gentlewoman from Oregon (Ms. Bonamici).
  Ms. BONAMICI. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of the America 
COMPETES Act.
  Our country is home to some of the most cutting edge research, 
innovative discoveries, and unparalleled national laboratories in the 
world.
  Unfortunately, in some ways, we have fallen behind competitors during 
the past several decades, but with this legislation, we will strengthen 
our enterprise, bolster research and development, grow our domestic 
semiconductor manufacturing base, and make sure critical supply chains 
are based in the U.S.
  This legislation includes a provision similar to my Regional Clean 
Energy Innovation Act to help cutting-edge technologies achieve 
commercialization by leveraging regional clean energy capabilities and 
markets.
  As co-chair of the House Apprenticeship Caucus, I am thrilled that 
the America COMPETES Act includes not only the National Apprenticeship 
Act but also my PARTNERS Act, which will promote workforce training and 
help more people access good-paying jobs.
  I am very grateful to Chair Johnson for her leadership on this bill 
and for Chair McGovern for making in order six of my amendments. If 
incorporated, they will help address climate change, improve workforce 
development, and enhance STEM education. In particular, the Blue Carbon 
for our Planet Act, BLUE GLOBE Act, and COAST Research Act will 
strengthen coastal acidification research and monitoring, expand 
efforts to map and conserve blue carbon ecosystems, and enhance ocean 
data collection.
  And my bipartisan BUILDS Act, which provides grants for 
infrastructure industry partnerships, will play a pivotal role in 
helping workers get the skills they need to fill the jobs created by 
the bipartisan infrastructure law.
  And my amendment with Mr. Langevin to enhance NSF's Mathematics and 
Science Education Partnership program will support innovative research 
and provide professional development for educators on how to boost 
creativity in STEM by integrating the arts.
  The America COMPETES Act will reinvigorate America's research 
enterprise and restore its competitive edge. I strongly urge my 
colleagues to support this important bill.
  Mr. Speaker, I thank Chairwoman Johnson for yielding me the time.
  Mr. WALTZ. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Ohio 
(Mr. Chabot).
  Mr. CHABOT. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding.
  Mr. Speaker, as ranking member of the Asia-Pacific Subcommittee, 
which has jurisdiction over China, I rise today in strong opposition to 
the America COMPETES Act, which should really be called the America 
concedes act.
  After decades of inaction, it is high time we reevaluate our basic 
approach towards engagement with China. On every front, the Chinese 
Communist Party is aggressively challenging the free world and the 
premise that open societies, free markets, and the rule of law 
logically result in a prosperous and equitable civilization.
  The CCP's ambitions have thrust us into a new Cold War that we did 
not start, and we do not want but which we must win. Because if we 
fail, the Chinese Communist Party will replace the post-World War II 
order with one that revolves around Beijing. This moment calls for bold 
policies to ensure that we win this struggle.
  On this score, today's legislation is woefully deficient. It is 
stuffed full of irrelevant provisions. The Committee on Foreign 
Affairs' section of the bill is a prime example. It fails to take 
advantage of serious tools, like export controls and security 
assistance, and instead, spends twice as much money on climate policy 
as it does on China-related matters.
  Democratic leadership has refused to even allow debate on Ranking 
Member McCaul's serious amendment or in the package that I offered that 
includes 13 tough, relevant proposals crafted by subcommittee 
Republicans. We must take the Chinese Communist Party's threat 
seriously. If we don't, we are going to see China continuing to eat our 
lunch and steal our jobs.
  This Democratic effort was an opportunity for bipartisanship and 
actually doing something that mattered. They blew it, let's face it. 
And that is most unfortunate.
  Therefore, I have to encourage my colleagues to oppose their 
misguided legislation today.
  Ms. JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the 
gentlewoman from Michigan (Mrs. Lawrence).
  Mrs. LAWRENCE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of the 
America COMPETES Act.
  I am proud to represent the Big Three automakers State and a district 
where GM is headquartered. I know how important it is to fix our supply 
chain. Semiconductors power our economy--everything from smart phones 
to computers to cars. We have to start making them here in America.
  This legislation will make sure of that while increasing American 
innovation, manufacturing, and R&D. And I am proud to offer two 
amendments to ensure that our efforts in the America COMPETES Act is 
centered around equality so that all Americans will benefit from the 
significant R&D investment of our critical goods while creating good 
jobs.
  Let's get this done so we can ensure that our economy is secure and 
strengthen our global competitiveness.
  Mr. WALTZ. Mr. Speaker, I yield 5 minutes to the gentleman from 
Arkansas (Mr. Westerman), the Republican leader of the Committee on 
Natural Resources.
  Mr. WESTERMAN. Today, I think about when my four children were young. 
They are stair-stepped 2 years apart. They used to have competitions in 
the backyard. They would race from the patio to the elm tree and back. 
And I would stagger the starting time: Let the youngest one go first, 
then the next to the youngest, and so on. And by the time they touched 
the tree and came back, it turned into a real competition--a photo 
finish a lot of times.

[[Page H816]]

  Mr. Speaker, we have all competed in games whose outcome has little 
significance in life, but we are not facing an insignificant 
competition in our future. We are in a race of ideologies. The stakes 
are as high as they can be. We are literally in a struggle for the 
future of western civilization, of democracy, of representative 
government, of human rights, and freedom.
  Mr. Speaker, this isn't a matter of competing. It is a must-win 
scenario. And quite frankly, I am aghast that this majority thinks that 
we only need to compete. Losing is not an option. Our attitude must be 
to win. If we lose, humanity loses.

                              {time}  1600

  I believe freedom-loving Republicans, Democrats, Independents, and 
people all across the world want America to win. I am disappointed that 
the Speaker and this majority, once again, dropped a massive bill that 
could and should be bipartisan, but instead is a cloak for failed Build 
Back Better policies that lie dead in the Senate.
  Mr. Speaker, ``You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will 
preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on Earth, or 
we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of 
darkness. If we fail, at least let our children and our children's 
children say of us we justified our brief moment here. We did all that 
could be done.''
  Those familiar words were from Ronald Reagan in the 1960s, but they 
have never been more true than today.
  How serious are the issues that we face? Take a look at these charts 
from the economist. This first one is in 2000. The blue is the U.S. and 
its trading partners. The red is China and its trading partners. Look 
what has happened in a short 20-year span as we look at this same map 
from 2022. We see a massive increase in red on this map and a massive 
decrease of blue on this map.
  What do provisions in this bill from the blue New Deal have to do 
with us winning against China? It does the exact opposite by killing 
American jobs. Restoring coral reefs off our coast is a commendable 
goal, but what does spending $292 million on coral reef restoration 
have to do with us winning against China?
  This bill gives supreme, unilateral authority to the Fish and 
Wildlife Service to determine what species can be imported into the 
U.S. This so-called ``white list'' mandated in the bill is virtually 
impossible to implement and will effectively shut down aquaculture and 
similar industries who need trade to conduct business.
  The weaponization of the Lacey Act will only empower bureaucrats and 
ignores the current State-based approach on species imports. It is 
legislative laziness since there have been no hearings or an introduced 
bill on this topic. What in the world does that have to do with winning 
against China?
  The bill requires biased studies and new heavy-handed regulations 
designed to kill American mineral development.
  Mr. Speaker, how can this majority propose this bill while the 
Democratic administration continues to illustrate incompetency by 
killing American energy and jobs, and even pulling mining leases in 
Minnesota that could create jobs and supply resources for the very 
policies on electrification the administration supports? This only 
shifts wealth and jobs to China. How does that help us win?
  It reminds me of my kids' races, where the majority is trying to 
handicap America and give China a head start. What we should be doing 
to have a winning strategy--we should be working together on real 
issues to ensure that America wins. We should be strengthening 
diplomacy and trade with our allies and create a solid Western 
Hemisphere alliance to ensure that America wins.
  We should be developing our resources and jobs to help America win. 
We should be part of the solution and not the problem. Americans and 
freedom will win if we let them.
  As I close, I want to remind you of a fable by Aesop, the Eagle and 
the Arrow. The Eagle was struck by an arrow and as he lie on the ground 
he looked back at it, and he said: Alas, I have been wounded by an 
arrow that was feathered with my own plume.
  Mr. Speaker, we cannot afford to put more plumes on China's arrows. I 
oppose this bill.
  Ms. JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the 
distinguished gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Neal).
  Mr. NEAL. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of the America 
COMPETES Act. This legislation will transport our Nation into the 
future, it will strengthen supply chains, advance manufacturing, and 
create millions of jobs. Ways and Means members assertively made their 
contributions to this package, including a strong provision for Trade 
Adjustment Assistance.
  To the previous speaker, I know he was sincere in what he said. There 
will be a final package, it will be bicameral in nature, bipartisan in 
nature, it is just too important to get done. The rhythms of 
legislative life will dictate that outcome. This is a full effort of 
the House, and to say that there are no provisions in here that 
Republicans will favor is simply untrue.
  The Trade Subcommittee chairman, Earl Blumenauer, has been a very 
important leader in developing this legislation, along with our 
colleague, Tim Ryan, who has not stopped telling me of just how 
important this is to Ohio to fund the Nation's newest semiconductor 
factory. This is a good, bold proposal.
  I am going to remain standing Madam Speaker, so that I might yield 
the balance of my time to the Trade Subcommittee chair, Mr. Blumenauer.
  Mr. BLUMENAUER. Will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. NEAL. I yield to the gentleman from Oregon.
  Mr. BLUMENAUER. Mr. Speaker, a careful examination of this bill shows 
many bipartisan proposals. One area of bipartisan agreement is that for 
too long America has been too weak in its engagement with China.
  The Chinese Government is strengthening its economic power while 
doubling down on religious persecution and forced labor. Those 
practices undercut the competitiveness of American workers and 
business. Congress must step up and confront China head on--our trade 
title does just that.
  Those damaged by trade, whether workers, business, or farmers will 
benefit from a dramatically improved trade adjustment assistance 
program, which expired in June and completely phases out in July. Our 
provisions modernizing and reauthorizing GSP and MTB will improve 
American competitiveness and labor standards around the globe.
  And we get tough on China by closing the de minimus loophole that 
allows $800 per day per person for products undoubtedly, including 
forced labor, intellectual property theft, and illegal goods. China 
doesn't give us reciprocity on de minimus--their threshold is less than 
$8. They are not about to subject their companies to duty-free, 
unregulated American competition.
  Allowing items like air conditioners, microwaves, and suitcases under 
MTB doesn't help American manufacturing, it undercuts it and directly 
undermines Congress' goal of rebuilding domestic capacity.
  Our changes restore the programs back to their original intent of 
supporting American workers and domestic manufacturing, not 
undercutting American suppliers.
  At its simplest, this legislation meets workers' needs and bolsters 
America's capacity to compete. If you want to support the American 
worker and get tough on China, you have a chance to do so with this 
bill.
  Madam Speaker, I urge everyone to vote in the affirmative.
  Mr. WALTZ. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Pennsylvania (Mr. Meuser).
  Mr. MEUSER. Madam Speaker, I thank my good friend and colleague, the 
gentleman from Florida for yielding.
  Madam Speaker, we have far too many domestic and international crises 
facing us right now to name them here. From the southern border to 
Ukraine, Afghanistan to the crime in Philadelphia's streets, soaring 
gasoline prices to supply chain bottlenecks.
  We have an opportunity here to make the U.S. economy more 
competitive--we can do that with the right bill--particularly against 
our number one competitor and often adversary, China. Rather than lower 
the costs for American large and small businesses, Madam Speaker, and 
creating a more competitive business environment, this so-called 
America COMPETES Act places burdens on the American economy in the form 
of debt and regulations, is filled with special interest

[[Page H817]]

subsidies, nobody can deny that, and has a whopping $325 billion price 
tag to go along with our escalating deficit and debt.
  Meanwhile, the only part of the $325 billion that I agree with, and I 
believe my constituents agree with, would be the CHIPS USA Act and some 
of the rural broadband.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mrs. Bustos). The time of the gentleman has 
expired.
  Mr. WALTZ. Madam Speaker, I yield an additional 30 seconds to the 
gentleman from Pennsylvania.
  Mr. MEUSER. Madam Speaker, this bill really is a plethora of new 
government programs that will not advance the U.S. economy.
  Madam Speaker, this bill will likely get the vote of China, but would 
not get the vote of American small business. The CCP is very serious 
about economic growth with little regard for how to get there. We had 
better wake up or we will be responsible for letting them.
  Ms. JOHNSON of Texas. Madam Speaker, how much time do I have 
remaining?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman from Texas has 33 minutes 
remaining.
  Ms. JOHNSON of Texas. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the 
gentlewoman from Pennsylvania (Ms. Wild).
  Ms. WILD. Madam Speaker, I am proud to rise in support of the America 
COMPETES Act. This legislation incorporates two bills that my office 
introduced: The Supply Chain Security and Resilience Act and the 
Regional Innovation Act.
  At a time when the need to finally secure our supply chains and 
rebuild a Made in America economy could not be clearer, my provisions 
of the bill from the Supply Chain Security and Resilience Act will put 
us on the path to doing just that.
  By creating a new office within the Commerce Department to promote 
U.S. leadership of critical industries and supply chains that are 
essential to our national and economic security, we will join 
businesses and government in common, national effort.
  The Regional Innovation Act would establish a Regional Technology and 
Innovation Hub program at the Department of Commerce to support 
regional economic development and innovation hubs nationwide. We can 
ensure that workers and businesses from all corners of our country, not 
just the coasts, benefit from investment.
  My community, Pennsylvania's Greater Lehigh Valley, is full of 
workers and businesses who have the vision, the talent, and the grit to 
reach global economic heights. They deserve the exposure to get their 
products to market. Our country has extraordinary promise. Let's pass 
this bill.
  Mr. WALTZ. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
North Carolina (Mr. Murphy).
  Mr. MURPHY of North Carolina. Madam Speaker, this so-called 
competition bill proves just how feckless Democrats are about 
confronting our biggest adversary, the Chinese Communist Party. Why is 
this President so afraid to call out China? They are our greatest 
generational threat to democracy, human rights, and the American way of 
life. China will stop at nothing until they have world domination.
  Confronting Communist China should be a clear bipartisan priority. As 
Secretary Pompeo recently said, the Chinese have infiltrated our 
schools, businesses, and politics, and will stop at nothing until they 
have world domination.
  We should be coming together on a strong consensus framework that 
holds China accountable and strengthens our national security. Instead, 
Speaker Pelosi offers more poison pills that will be dead on arrival in 
the Senate. Let us stop the nonsensical leftist Progressive messaging 
and be serious about our jobs.
  Democrats have steamrolled Congress with yet another multi-billion 
dollar package, thousands of pages long, without proper analysis. Our 
Nation now hits a $30 trillion debt mark this week.
  Madam Speaker, I refuse to support another package that sends hard-
earned taxpayer dollars to the Chinese Communist Party. Please, I urge 
my colleagues to vote ``no'' on the America concedes to China act.
  Ms. JOHNSON of Texas. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the 
gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Kildee).
  Mr. KILDEE. Madam Speaker, I rise in support of the America COMPETES 
Act. With this legislation we have an opportunity to strengthen 
domestic supply chains, invest in American manufacturing, and to lower 
costs for families, for small businesses, and seniors.
  This pandemic has exposed deep weaknesses in our supply chains that 
have increasingly relied on foreign manufacturing, instead of making 
goods right here in America with American workers. This bill will help 
fix our broken supply chains so that we can build more critical 
components here in America, not overseas in China where government 
exploits its own people.
  For Michigan's auto workers, this includes addressing the 
semiconductor chips shortage, which has shuttered auto plants and 
forced thousands of auto workers to temporarily be laid off. This bill 
will invest billions to bring chip manufacturing back to the United 
States.
  Also, this legislation includes my legislation to create a new Trade 
Adjustment Assistance for Communities program, and it will help many 
older industrial communities that have been negatively impacted by 
trade communities like Flint, Saginaw, and Bay City. TAA for 
Communities will address the needs in these places and develop local 
economic development strategies.
  Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this legislation.
  Mr. WALTZ. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from 
Georgia (Mrs. Greene).
  Mrs. GREENE of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise in opposition to 
another bill that puts China first and America last. Instead of 
focusing on a bill that is almost 3,000 pages worth $325 billion in 
spending, estimated, that doesn't really help America. It is going to 
give $8 billion to the UN Climate Fund and mentions coral reefs 383 
times.
  What Congress should be doing is working on a budget that will fund 
our government, since we are running out of money in just a few weeks. 
What Congress should be doing is doing something about the fentanyl 
that is coming from China that is killing young people. It is now the 
number one cause of death in Americans from 18 to 45, not COVID-19.

                              {time}  1615

  What Congress should be doing is funding a wall, building a wall, 
protecting our border, and deporting illegal aliens who are stealing 
American jobs. That is what we should be doing to help the American 
worker. But instead, we are debating a bill that is going to fund 
climate change and the Green New Deal and help the coral reefs. This 
isn't what Americans care about.
  We all should be voting ``no'' and doing a better job.
  Ms. JOHNSON of Texas. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the 
gentlewoman from New Mexico (Ms. Leger Fernandez).
  Ms. LEGER FERNANDEZ. Madam Speaker, with the America COMPETES Act, we 
will invent it in America; we will build it in America; and we will 
create American jobs.
  Importantly, the America COMPETES Act gives us the opportunity to 
discover, develop, and make what we need everywhere in America. That is 
why I introduced, and I urge my colleagues to support, four amendments 
that could expand jobs to rural, Latino, Native American, and minority 
communities. The workers who produce what America needs must look like 
America.
  The America COMPETES Act could invest billions of dollars to build 
chips and conduct research in New Mexico and other rural communities 
facing economic despair. With my amendments, this bill can create jobs 
for that beautifully diverse workforce that powers our Nation as we 
transition to clean energy.
  Energy workers deserve economic opportunity in a changing world. 
Let's ensure we have innovation, training, and jobs for American 
workers everywhere as we power a prosperous future.
  Mr. WALTZ. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from 
Missouri (Mrs. Hartzler).
  Mrs. HARTZLER. Madam Speaker, I rise in opposition to the so-called 
America COMPETES Act.
  Let's be clear: China is one of the largest national security threats 
our

[[Page H818]]

Nation faces. Addressing this threat will require a whole-of-nation 
approach with policies to enable the United States to not only compete 
but to beat China.
  This legislation fails to achieve that goal. Unfortunately, the 
Democrats have, once again, rushed through a massive package riddled 
with partisan and unvetted policies that enrich China rather than 
constrain them.
  Amazingly, the Democrats blocked consideration of all of my 
commonsense amendments, which would have prevented known Chinese spies 
from entering our Nation, stopped CCP officials from taking advantage 
of our higher education system, and sanctioned those responsible for 
forced abortions and forced sterilizations of Uyghur women.
  If Democrats were serious about protecting America, they should have 
welcomed these commonsense measures.
  This legislation fails to address the threat of China.
  Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to oppose this legislation and 
instead work on legislation that will actually empower the United 
States to beat China.
  Ms. JOHNSON of Texas. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the 
gentleman from North Carolina (Mr. Price).
  Mr. PRICE of North Carolina. Madam Speaker, I rise in strong support 
of the America COMPETES Act, in particular the inclusion of legislation 
to reauthorize title VI of the Higher Education Act sponsored by myself 
and Representative Young of Alaska.
  This will help our Nation develop a strong foundation in 
international education, research, and world language studies, 
especially in languages that hold special strategic interests.
  The bipartisan, bicameral bill will increase and expand these 
programs incorporating some 200 languages and also build international 
capacity at minority-serving institutions.
  In addition, the America COMPETES Act enhances the Advanced 
Technological Education Program at the National Science Foundation, 
doubling the authorization for a program that I helped initiate which 
strengthens high-tech worker training through community and technical 
colleges. It incentivizes critical partnerships between businesses and 
schools to meet local workforce needs.
  Madam Speaker, I urge adoption of the America COMPETES Act to better 
equip our citizens to succeed in an increasingly interconnected world.
  Mr. WALTZ. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Texas (Mr. Arrington).
  Mr. ARRINGTON. Madam Speaker, unfortunately and sadly enough, this is 
a repeat of the political ruse where you wrap a flag and give a great 
name to legislation. The reality is it has very little to do with the 
threats China poses to the United States and the world.
  There is plenty of common ground we could find to work on that big 
challenge, a huge threat. Instead, this is a misleading piece of 
legislation.
  It is another legislative wagonloaded with the same tired, old, 
progressive policies: union giveaways; green energy subsidies; and 
unhinged--in my opinion--social policies and experimentation, like 
training our Armed Forces not to fight and win wars but to combat 
climate change and naming a chief diversity officer. That should make 
us safer and all sleep better at night with respect to China.
  The Democratic Party, Madam Speaker, has been hijacked by the left, 
and they are willing to sacrifice America's prosperity, our security, 
and our global leadership on climate apocalypse now. I don't get it.
  Ms. JOHNSON of Texas. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the 
gentlewoman from Alabama (Ms. Sewell).

  Ms. SEWELL. Madam Speaker, I rise today in strong support of the 
America COMPETES Act.
  I am especially proud that my legislation, H.R. 6121, the Leveling 
the Playing Field Act 2.0, was included in this bill. This bipartisan 
legislation sponsored by myself and my Republican colleague, Bill 
Johnson, will modernize our outdated trade remedy laws to push back 
against many of China's most aggressive anti-free market practices.
  For years, a number of American industries have faced repeated dumped 
and subsidized imports into the U.S. market. In 2000, China produced 
about 18 percent of the world's steel. Today, it produces roughly 50 
percent.
  This overcapacity has undermined U.S. steel manufacturing and has put 
our steelworkers and steel manufacturers like those in my district, 
U.S. Steel and Nucor, at a big disadvantage.
  At the end of the day, this bill will promote global competitiveness. 
When America competes fairly, America's workers win, and America's 
businesses win.
  Mr. WALTZ. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Wisconsin (Mr. Tiffany).
  Mr. TIFFANY. Madam Speaker, there has been a lot of rhetoric today 
about creating American jobs and having American businesses thrive. 
Let's read something that was slipped into this bill, a prohibition: No 
person may possess, acquire, receive, transport, offer for sale, sell, 
or purchase any American mink.
  What a sneak attack on people who create jobs and create goods for 
America. These people are good stewards, good stewards of the land, and 
they are also terrific at animal husbandry.
  This is a sneak attack on them, trying to drive them out of business.
  There is one question here: When is the hostility to the producers of 
America--the people who grow our food, clothe our people, and produce 
our energy--going to end by the other side of the aisle?
  Ms. JOHNSON of Texas. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the 
gentlewoman from Michigan (Mrs. Dingell).
  Mrs. DINGELL. Madam Speaker, I rise today in strong support of H.R. 
4521, the America COMPETES Act.
  We stand at a defining moment for the future of American 
manufacturing and our global competitiveness. If we fail to act, we put 
both our economic security and our national security at risk.
  This bold, comprehensive package, which includes several of my 
bipartisan bills, will create good-paying American jobs through 
investments to boost American manufacturing, bring our supply chain 
home, and keep America at the forefront of innovation and technology.
  The bill includes $52 billion in funding, including $2 billion for 
legacy automotive chips, to address the semiconductor chip shortage 
that has crippled the auto industry and shut down plants in my 
district. It invests in domestic production of critical medicines and 
PPE and meaningfully addresses rising prices for everyday goods.
  In Michigan and across the Nation, too many Americans have been 
impacted and are counting on our fixing this. By passing the America 
COMPETES Act, we will solidify our future leadership around the globe 
and strengthen our workforce here at home.
  Madam Speaker, I urge all of my colleagues to support this bill.
  Mr. WALTZ. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from 
West Virginia (Mrs. Miller).
  Mrs. MILLER of West Virginia. Madam Speaker, President Biden's trade 
moratorium undermines U.S. leadership and hands all adversaries a 
dangerous opportunity to get ahead.
  China is seizing this moment to advance in the Indo-Pacific. This is 
why I join with my colleague, Darin LaHood, to introduce the U.S. Trade 
Leadership in the Indo-Pacific and China Act. Our bill would require 
President Biden to act and report on a trade strategy in the Indo-
Pacific and with China.
  Once again, Democrats didn't allow any bipartisan input in their 
legislation. There has been zero guidance by President Biden on a trade 
plan with China. Instead, we continue on a useless wait-and-see 
approach.
  The competition between the U.S. and China demands strong leadership. 
Democrats must wake up to this reality and take decisive action.
  Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support our bill to ensure 
America's lasting trade leadership.
  Ms. JOHNSON of Texas. Madam Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the 
gentleman from New York (Mr. Meeks), who is the chair of the Foreign 
Affairs Committee.
  Mr. MEEKS. Madam Speaker, I rise today in strong support of this 
bill.
  We find ourselves in a strategic competition with an increasingly 
assertive People's Republic of China. The PRC is

[[Page H819]]

trying to manipulate and alter the economic, political, and security 
underpinnings of the American-led, rules-based international order, an 
order that has brokered decades of peace, prosperity, and stability for 
many.

  As it has grown in wealth and power, we have seen the PRC bend 
international rules and laws to meet its interests, bully nations over 
maritime and border disputes, and grow more closed and authoritarian at 
home.
  Today, the PRC is systematically leveraging its growing military, 
economic, and technological heft to compete with us globally. And that 
is happening whether we like it or not.
  We must reckon with this stark, new reality by positioning America to 
win this competition, and H.R. 4521, the America COMPETES Act, does 
just that. It powers the engine of the American economy through 
investments in science, innovation, and technology. It raises the flag 
of American diplomacy and leadership to reassure the world that America 
is indeed back at the table, ready to counter China's efforts to 
manipulate the international system and to strengthen our allies and 
partnerships.
  Centering diplomacy and bolstering America's global leadership and 
engagement are the themes of my bill, the EAGLE Act, which serves as 
the foreign affairs division of the America COMPETES Act.
  The EAGLE Act bolsters our diplomacy bilaterally, at regional 
organizations, and through groupings like the Quad to ensure that we 
bring our partners and allies with us to prevent the PRC from 
undermining global rules. It demonstrates that America is capable and 
willing to tackle the world's biggest problems and marshal a response 
to shared challenges like the current pandemic. And it ensures that the 
United States will lead with its values and stand up for international 
law and human rights.
  In many respects, this legislation goes further than the Senate's 
competition bill in terms of responding to the People's Republic of 
China's human rights abuses. In addition to sanctions related to the 
genocide in Xinjiang, the EAGLE Act contains refugee protections for 
Uyghurs and Hong Kongers and also calls for a special envoy for 
Xinjiang.
  I can say with absolute confidence that when it comes to standing up 
for our values, the America COMPETES Act is bold and principled.
  Madam Speaker, I support this historic bill, and I urge my fellow 
colleagues to do just the same.

                              {time}  1630

  Mr. WALTZ. Madam Speaker, I yield the balance of my time to the 
gentleman from Texas (Mr. Babin) to control the remaining time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Texas will control the 
time.
  Mr. BABIN. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from 
Utah (Mr. Moore).
  Mr. MOORE of Utah. Madam Speaker, I rise today in opposition to H.R. 
4521. I won't let my constituents be fooled by an attempt here to 
recycle priorities from President Biden's failed Build Back Better 
plan.
  While this bill plays a role in formalizing a necessary discussion--
and again, you will hear from my comments that there is large 
bipartisan support on what we need to do here to address the effects of 
a great power competition on the American economy--this is a 
superficial partisan effort that will not properly confront China and 
will only make inflation worse for American families.
  This pandemic dashed any illusion that the Chinese Communist Party 
can be a trusted partner for American business, or they will take any 
accountability when their recklessness results in devastating supply 
chain disruptions.
  Enhancements to domestic manufacturing that support American workers 
and increase global competitiveness are long overdue but, sadly, it 
will continue to go unaddressed by this bill because, simply, this 
legislation does not require these organizations to reexamine their 
relationship with the CCP.
  In addition, it is another attempt to create a big, large piece of 
legislation where you can add in a whole bunch of climate change 
priorities. And the American people--and as I talk to my constituents, 
they want us to address the issue at hand, not just lump a bunch of 
things in together. And, again, that is what we are doing here by 
making it a China bill.
  There is an appetite and desire among many of my colleagues to send a 
clear message to the Communist Party in Beijing. My constituents want a 
China bill that confronts intellectual property theft, the genocide of 
religious minorities, CCP influence in civil society, the antagonism of 
our allies, and a bill that finally holds the CCP accountable for their 
covering up of COVID-19.
  Despite the grave threat our Nation faces from the CCP, American 
ascendancy can be maintained only if we remain the preferred partner 
across the world and the primary destination for innovators and job 
creators.
  Congress can and must do better. Let's get back to work.
  Ms. JOHNSON of Texas. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the 
gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Casten).
  Mr. CASTEN. Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of the America 
COMPETES Act. And I am particularly proud of the House science 
legislation in this bill designed to ensure that the Department of 
Energy Office of Science, the National Science Foundation, and NIST are 
well-equipped to succeed in the 21st century.
  It also invests in a STEM workforce for the future to ensure we have 
the talents to bring all these semiconductor, climate and manufacturing 
jobs back home where they belong.
  And if I could just share a personal story. About 13 years ago, I was 
building a tree house in my backyard, and as I was starting, this 6-
year-old neighborhood kid shows up behind me with a cute little hard 
hat and a tool belt and said, ``I'm here to help.'' And my 2009 summer 
intern, as it were, is now a sophomore at the University of Illinois 
studying nuclear engineering.
  His opportunity was made possible, in part, by investments that were 
made decades ago in nuclear technology in a test reactor on that 
University of Illinois campus. That reactor has now hit the end of its 
life. It has been shut down, and there are few other States that have 
those kinds of opportunities.
  That is why I look forward to the consideration of my National 
Nuclear University Research Infrastructure Reinvestment Act, in America 
COMPETES, with Congressman Foster, Congressman Gonzalez, and 
Congressman Meijer, that will enhance the research capabilities of 
nuclear science and engineering programs, meet the workforce needs of 
the U.S. nuclear industry, and accelerate the deployment of advanced 
nuclear technologies in Illinois and across the country.
  I hope my colleagues will join me in supporting this bill as we 
develop new generations of advanced nuclear energy at our Nation's 
universities.
  Mr. BABIN. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from 
Florida (Mrs. Cammack).
  Mrs. CAMMACK. Madam Speaker, I rise in strong opposition to this bill 
which could be more appropriately named the America concedes act. Heck, 
we could go so far as to say that this is the American corruption act.
  This bill has nothing to do with countering China or holding them 
accountable. It is 2,900--2,900 pages. Have any of my colleagues 
supporting this bill actually read the bill? I would venture no. I 
would say no, they probably haven't because if they had, they would 
know what was in it, and they would recognize that it is selling us out 
to China.
  I, however, have read this bill. I have spent the last couple of days 
poring through the language and have found egregious provision after 
egregious provision. And, quite frankly, it is infuriating.
  Just one example is the fact that under section 61008, COVID pandemic 
measures could be extended until December 31, 2025. What better way to 
make Americans dependent upon China for critical supplies like PPE than 
to mandate that we get it from them, and make sure that COVID 
provisions stay in place?
  Another example is the $8 billion, with a B, authorization for the 
Green Climate Fund, which was conceived as a tool for incentivizing 
developing countries to participate in the Paris climate agreement. In 
practice, this

[[Page H820]]

U.N. fund has done nothing more but distort global energy markets, and 
even encourages corruption.
  I have an amendment to this bill that would strike the funding, and I 
urge my colleagues to support that amendment.

  However, we know that this is more about politics than it is about 
good policy, so I am not particularly optimistic. However, I still 
would encourage my colleagues to support that amendment.
  Madam Speaker, this bill is misguided. We should stand as Americans 
and counter China and its rise. Support true American innovation.
  I encourage my colleagues to oppose this bill. It is dangerous and 
misguided.
  Ms. JOHNSON of Texas. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the 
gentlewoman from Georgia (Ms. Bourdeaux).
  Ms. BOURDEAUX. Madam Speaker, I rise in strong support of the America 
COMPETES Act, a bill that would bolster American leadership in critical 
economic sectors for decades to come.
  In addition to necessary provisions to spur American production of 
semiconductors, the America COMPETES Act would take action to address 
supply chain disruptions and shortages.
  My bill, the Supply CHAIN Act, is included in this package and would 
ensure the newly created Office of Supply Chain Resiliency and Crisis 
Response at the Department of Commerce has the tools it needs to map 
and monitor critical supply chains, as well as prepare for and respond 
to supply chain shocks and disruptions.
  I have heard from families and small businesses and manufacturers in 
Georgia's Seventh District of the challenges presented by supply chain 
disruptions, especially amidst the pandemic.
  This package of supply chain resiliency measures will help us to 
identify and mitigate these disruptions moving forward.
  In closing, I would like to commend my colleagues for their hard work 
in assembling this critical legislation. I urge my colleagues on both 
sides of the aisle to support the America COMPETES Act.
  Mr. BABIN. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  I stand in strong opposition to what should be called the concedes 
act. Once again, we are voting on a bill that was forced through this 
Chamber in a partisan fashion, and one that lacks the policies needed 
to bolster our competitiveness and combat the threats from our foreign 
adversaries.
  The hard work and the bipartisan collaboration of the Space, Science, 
and Technology Committee has, once again, been obliterated so that the 
left can pass partisan policies.
  Once again, in a sincere and goodwill attempt to work across the 
aisle on important policy, I introduced an amendment that would have 
reauthorized NASA's enhanced-use leasing program for 1 year, a timeline 
supported by both parties. But to no surprise, the Democrats put 
messaging over good governance and refused to make that 
noncontroversial amendment in order.
  And just a few weeks ago, we had a bipartisan EUL bill that had 
already passed this House. It was stolen from us, gutted, and turned 
into a Federal election takeover bill.
  Instead of focusing on commonsense solutions to our China problems, 
H.R. 4521 hurts the American people. It lets China off the hook for 
failing to contain COVID-19. It fails to ban funding to CCP-tied 
organizations. It fails to punish the CCP for its blatant human rights 
abuses, and it fails to stop China's theft of America's intellectual 
property.
  Today, we had another opportunity to pass important legislation to 
support American technology and to hold foreign adversaries 
accountable. Instead, we are, once again, wasting the American people's 
time, and I urge every single one of my colleagues to vote ``no''.
  Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. JOHNSON of Texas. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the 
gentleman from Texas (Mr. Green).
  Mr. GREEN of Texas. Madam Speaker, I thank the chairwoman, Ms. 
Johnson, for the time.
  Madam Speaker, Dr. King was eminently correct when he reminded us 
that life is an inescapable network of mutuality tied to a single 
garment of destiny. What impacts one directly impacts all indirectly.
  This became perspicuously clear to us when we had a shortage of PPE 
in this country. We have a strategic petroleum stockpile, in the sense 
that we have oil, petroleum that is on reserve for emergencies. When we 
pass this bill, we will have a strategic medical supply stockpile, 
something that is desperately needed; something that this bill will 
provide; something that I will vote for, and I encourage my colleagues 
to do so as well.
  Pass the bill.
  Mr. BABIN. Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. JOHNSON of Texas. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the 
gentlewoman from Illinois (Ms. Kelly).
  Ms. KELLY of Illinois. Madam Speaker, I want to thank Chairwoman 
Eddie Bernice Johnson and her committee for all of their hard work.
  Passing the America COMPETES Act will help small businesses and 
ensure the U.S. remains a leader in scientific development.
  This bill funds STEM programs to develop the next generation of 
diverse scientists and inventors and funds the CHIPS Act to bring back 
semiconductor manufacturing to U.S. shores.
  Companies large and small across industries are confronting new 
supply chain challenges. In my district, I have visited companies like 
Plochman's. They are doing their best to produce delicious mustards, 
despite current production challenges.
  The bipartisan Supply CHAIN Act included in this bill will create an 
Office of Supply Chain Resiliency and Crisis Response within the 
Department of Commerce to monitor supply chains of critical goods and 
materials to mitigate future challenges.
  I hope my colleagues on both sides of the aisle will support this 
bill and bring relief to small businesses across the country.
  Mr. BABIN. Madam Speaker, I continue to reserve the balance of my 
time.
  Ms. JOHNSON of Texas. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the 
gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Pascrell).
  Mr. PASCRELL. Madam Speaker, I thank the chairwoman for bringing this 
forward. It is going to affect the weaknesses that we have found in our 
trade deal.
  So I rise in support of the America COMPETES Act. This includes my 
bipartisan, bicameral bill, the National Critical Capabilities Defense 
Act. Our bill will strengthen frayed supply chains. It will stop the 
bleeding of our industrial might being shipped to foreign adversaries.
  The Chinese Communist Party government climbed our back to economic 
power. They are abusing that power to commit genocide, crush democratic 
norms, and undermine our workers. We must stop our adversaries from 
leeching off America's economic might to sow discord.
  It is time to enhance supply chain visibility. We must empower trade 
that does not undermine American competitors.
  I want to thank Representatives DeLauro, Spartz, and Fitzpatrick for 
working on this legislation.
  Madam Speaker, I include in the Record statements of support for the 
bill from the AFL-CIO, the Communications Workers of America, the 
United Steelworkers, and the Alliance for American Manufacturing.

                                                      AFL-CIO,

                                                 January 31, 2022.
       Dear Representative: On behalf of the 12.5 million union 
     members of the AFL-CIO, I write in strong support of the 
     America COMPETES Act. This comprehensive legislation presents 
     Congress with a rare opportunity to improve the United 
     States' competitiveness across a broad cross-section of 
     industry, science, trade, and technology. We commend the 
     House Leadership and the committee chairs for putting 
     together a legislative package that will benefit millions of 
     working families.
       The COMPETES Act includes important provisions that will 
     help curb China's aggressive non-market trade distortions 
     that have put downward pressure on U.S. production, 
     employment and wages. Specifically, the $52 billion in 
     funding for the CHIPS Act is critical to sustaining U.S. 
     leadership in semiconductors and addressing the current chip 
     shortage that continues to adversely impact production in the 
     automotive sector and elsewhere. In addition, the Research 
     and Innovation provisions in Division B will strengthen our 
     nation's technology and innovation infrastructure, bolster 
     the involvement of workers in our federal research 
     enterprise, expand STEM education, and protect vital research 
     and development.

[[Page H821]]

       The trade title of COMPETES, Division K, includes 
     critically important fixes to the trade title that was added 
     at the last minute to the Senate USICA bill (see attached 
     Fact Sheet). These include stronger protections for workers 
     under the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP), and 
     restrictions in the Miscellaneous Tariff Bill in order to 
     maintain its historical purpose of exempting components, and 
     not finished products, for goods to be produced domestically.
       The Ways and Means Committee also added provisions that 
     must be included in any competitiveness package that purports 
     to challenge China's increasing economic dominance. These 
     include renewal of robust Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA); 
     the Sewell-Johnson Leveling the Playing Field Act 2.0; the 
     DeLauro-Pascrell-Spartz-Fitzpatrick National Critical 
     Capabilities Defense Act; and the Blumenauer Import Security 
     and Fairness Act that would halt China's exploitation of U.S. 
     de minimis policy. This section also removes harmful language 
     from the Senate bill that would unnecessarily tie the 
     administration's hands with regard to China tariffs.
       Passage of the House's America COMPETES Act will provide 
     critical and overdue enhancements to America's global 
     competitive capabilities, support workers whose jobs are lost 
     to trade, and protect and expand the tools to fight foreign 
     unfair trade. The AFL-CIO stands ready to fight for these 
     priorities, to level the playing field against unfair trade 
     practices and to improve opportunities for America's hard-
     working families. We urge you to support this legislation and 
     fight for the enactment of its provisions into law.
           Sincerely,
                                                   William Samuel,
                                     Director, Government Affairs.

             Fact Sheet on Trade Provision in COMPETES Act

       Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA). Unfortunately, TAA 
     reverted at the end of June 2021 to an insufficient program 
     with limited funding and coverage that does not help workers 
     whose jobs are outsourced to countries with which the U.S. 
     does not have a Free Trade Agreement, such as China. Renewing 
     TAA with robust funding and support is critical to American 
     workers and families who lose their jobs to trade.
       The Sewell-Johnson Level the Playing Field Act 2.0 (similar 
     legislation was introduced by Senators Brown and Portman in 
     the Senate) is critically needed to update the rules against 
     unfair trade. Inclusion will update U.S. trade laws and help 
     ensure that the unique circumstances relating to economic 
     recovery from the pandemic do not limit the ability of 
     workers, farmers, and businesses to address the injury caused 
     by illegally dumped and subsidized imports.
       The National Critical Capabilities Defense Act, a 
     bipartisan bill introduced by Representatives DeLauro, 
     Pascrell, Spartz and Fitzpatrick. This companion to Senate 
     legislation authored by Senators Casey and Cornyn creates a 
     new review process to protect our supply chains by screening 
     outbound investment and guarding against offshoring of 
     critical capabilities to adversaries like China and Russia. 
     It is a common-sense approach that finally recognizes how 
     important our supply chains are to our national, health and 
     economic security. From semiconductors to pharmaceutical 
     ingredients, it will provide a needed review mechanism to 
     advance U.S. production and employment. The approach was 
     recommended as part of the most recent unanimously-approved 
     report of the bipartisan U.S.-China Economic & Security 
     Review Commission.
       H.R. 3975, the ``Generalized System of Preferences and 
     Miscellaneous Tariff Bill Modernization Act of 2021.'' This 
     bill would reauthorize and strengthen the Generalized System 
     of Preferences (GSP) program. Importantly, the bill would be 
     the first significant update of the labor eligibility 
     criteria and enforcement process since 1984, when these 
     standards were first included.
       A Miscellaneous Tariff Bill (MTB) that allows for 
     exemptions of product components if they are not available in 
     the United States: but unlike the Senate provisions will not 
     expand longstanding policy by allowing tariff-free exemptions 
     for finished products. Historically, the MTB has been drafted 
     only to allow components into the U.S. tariff-free if they 
     were unavailable domestically but necessary for the 
     production of final products manufactured here.
       Removal of a Senate provision that would shift more jobs 
     and production to China and undermine enforcement actions 
     designed to address that country's predatory and 
     protectionist practices. The Senate provisions on Section 301 
     would tie the President's hands in responding to unfair and 
     illegal foreign trade practices like intellectual property 
     theft. It puts new, unnecessary burdens on USTR and Customs & 
     Border Protection. Touted as ``oversight,'' these provisions' 
     purpose is to roll back China tariffs and would grease the 
     skids for more imports from China. It should not have been 
     included in legislation dealing with the competitive 
     challenges we face from China.
       A provision to halt exploitation of ``de minimis.'' 
     Currently, individual shipments into the U.S. are exempt from 
     duties and tariffs so long as they are valued below the ``de 
     minimis'' threshold of $800 USD. This threshold is far too 
     high and has allowed a new model of direct-to-consumer 
     imports, particularly from China, with significant negative 
     impact on many U.S. sectors, including textiles and apparel. 
     By comparison, China's de minimis is under $10 USD. Inclusion 
     of the Import Security and Fairness Act would prohibit goods 
     from countries that are both Non-Market Economies (NME) and 
     on the U.S. Trade Representative's (USTR) Priority Watch List 
     (e.g. China) from avoiding tariffs and abuse of de minimis. 
     In addition, ``de minimis'' packages arriving from China are 
     not screened by CBP and may contain goods made with forced 
     labor, particularly from the Xinjiang region.
       Elimination of troublesome 301 Digital Trade language that 
     would overwhelmingly benefit large digital corporations 
     (Google, Facebook/Meta, Uber) at the expense of countries' 
     right to reasonably regulate global digital platforms.

         Communications Workers of America, Government Affairs 
           Department,
                                 Washington, DC, February 1, 2022.
     Hon. Richard Neal,
     Chair, House Committee on Ways and Means,
     Washington, DC.
     Hon. Earl Blumenauer,
     Chair, House Subcommittee on Trade,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Chairman Neal and Subcommittee Chairman Blumenauer: On 
     behalf of the members and officers of the Communications 
     Workers of America, I am writing to express my gratitude for 
     your work in creating a strong and comprehensive trade title 
     in the America COMPETES Act. Because of your work and the 
     work of committee and member staff, working families across 
     the country will have the support and tools to combat unfair 
     trade practices once this legislation is enacted.
       Included in the trade title, Division K, are critically 
     important fixes to the trade title in the Senate USICA bill. 
     The House provisions included in the trade title creates a 
     worker centered trade agenda while also enhancing U.S. 
     competitiveness. Specifically, the trade title includes:
       A renewal of Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) with robust 
     funding and support to help workers whose jobs are 
     outsourced;
       A reauthorization of the Generalized System Preferences 
     (GSP) with updated labor eligibility criteria and enforcement 
     process to ensure that workers are protected;
       The bipartisan Sewell-Johnson Level the Playing Field Act 
     2.0, which strengthen U.S. trade remedy laws to protect 
     American workers and push back against China's egregious 
     efforts to manipulate the global market;
       The bipartisan National Critical Capabilities Defense Act, 
     which establishes a new review process to protect our supply 
     chains and guards against the offshoring of critical 
     capabilities so to ensure that the United States can quickly 
     detect supply chain vulnerabilities; and
       A removal of provisions on Section 301 and 301 Digital 
     Trade language included in the Senate version of the bill, 
     ensuring tariff preferences to economically developing 
     countries uplift workers and countries keep their right to 
     regulate global digital platforms.
       The Ways and Means Committee has created a trade title that 
     includes proactive trade enforcement and reforms which will 
     uplift workers and make our supply chains more resilient. 
     Thank you again for your work to create a comprehensive trade 
     title that will benefit working families for years to come.
           Sincerely,

                                                    Dan Mauer,

                                  ____



                                          United Steelworkers,

                                                 January 31, 2022.
     Re United Steelworkers supports H.R. 4521, the America 
         COMPETES Act of 2022.

     House of Representatives,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Representative: On behalf of the United Steel, Paper 
     and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied 
     Industrial and Service Workers International Union (USW), I 
     write in strong support of the America COMPETES Act of 2022 
     (H.R. 4521). Passage of this legislation will improve the 
     country's manufacturing competitiveness, defend American 
     workers from unfair trade practices, provide them with new 
     skills, and bolster labor-management cooperation in the 
     workplace.
       The comprehensive work of multiple House Committees has 
     created a product that will foster leadership in the global 
     economy, which has seen a rise in state owned enterprises, 
     dangerously concentrated supply chains, and an over reliance 
     on the People's Republic of China for critical materials. 
     H.R. 4521 will bolster U.S. leadership in research, 
     innovation, and manufacturing by including the following 
     items.
       The Ways and Means Committee pulled together a 
     comprehensive trade title that sets a path to a worker 
     centered trade agenda. This includes pro-active trade 
     enforcement reforms, which USW has supported, by the 
     inclusion of H.R. 6121--Representative Sewell and Johnson's 
     trade law update, commonly known as the ``Leveling the 
     Playing Field Act 2.0''. This legislation will aid domestic 
     manufacturers and workers in their ability to defend against 
     illegally dumped and subsidized goods from entering the U.S. 
     market, and put a better check on China's ``Belt and Road 
     Initiative''.
       The COMPETES Act also improves labor rights accountability 
     in a reauthorization of

[[Page H822]]

     the Generalized System Preference (GSP) program, ensuring 
     that the tariff preferences we provide to economically 
     developing countries uplift workers. The legislation also 
     contains important bills that stops abuse of the United 
     States' de minimis policy, and better tracks U.S. investment 
     in China through the bipartisan National Critical 
     Capabilities Defense Act led by Representatives DeLauro, 
     Pascrell, Spartz, and Fitzpatrick.
       In an increasingly globalized economy, job training for 
     workers who lost their jobs to overseas competition should be 
     a priority, and H.R. 4521 improves and upgrades the Trade 
     Adjustment Assistance program. Without this reauthorization, 
     workers who lose their job to Chinese competition do not have 
     access to comprehensive job retraining. The bill also 
     includes the National Apprenticeship Act of 2022.
       The Energy and Commerce Committee's title will provide 
     significant federal resources to build more resilient supply 
     chains--incorporation of the bipartisan legislation led by 
     Representatives Blunt-Rochester, Kinzinger, and Malinowski 
     will reduce dependence on critical materials from China, 
     encourage domestic manufacturing expansion with fair 
     guardrails, and ensure that labor and management cooperate in 
     the creation of good paying union jobs. When combined with 
     provisions to increase the domestic solar manufacturing 
     supply chain, which also has strong labor protection, workers 
     will be better positioned to benefit from Federal aid to 
     manufacturers. Improving our domestic supply chain in semi-
     conductors is also bolstered through the inclusion of the 
     CHIPS act.
       Bringing labor to the table was also a priority in the 
     research and innovation title as the National Science 
     Foundation language in COMPETES will ensure the inclusion of 
     a worker's perspective through the participation of labor 
     organizations and workforce training organizations.
       Ensuring that the U.S. remains a global competitor as China 
     continues its rise in the global economy requires labor, 
     management, and government to work together, uplifting each 
     other and guaranteeing federal investments are appropriately 
     deployed. The America COMPETES Act of 2022 does this, and a 
     vote against this bill is a vote to let our global economic 
     competitors, like China, win at the expense of America 
     workers. The USW urges you to support this legislation and 
     fight for the enactment of its provisions into law.
           Sincerely,
                                                    Thomas Conway,
     International President.

                                 Washington, DC, January 31, 2022.
     AAM Supports Passage of the America COMPETES Act of 2022
       Dear Members of the U.S. House of Representatives: On 
     behalf of the Alliance for American Manufacturing (AAM)--a 
     partnership between some of America's leading manufacturers 
     and the United Steelworkers--I write in support of the 
     America COMPETES Act of 2022 (H.R. 4521). This bill 
     represents one of the most comprehensive efforts in recent 
     years to invest in America's industrial sector, critical 
     research capacities, and workers while also providing 
     modernized tools to level the playing field against 
     competitors engaged in systematic unfair trade practices. If 
     enacted, these policies will create jobs, strengthen supply 
     chains, and make our nation more competitive and better-
     equipped to respond to current and future challenges.
       The last two years have exposed in rather dramatic fashion 
     that years of flawed tax, trade, procurement, and other 
     policies have put the United States in a perilous position of 
     being overly reliant on imports for everything from personal 
     protective equipment (PPE) to semiconductors. To this day, 
     the one-two punch of gutted domestic supply chains and a 
     dangerous reliance on foreign production is still impacting 
     Americans in countless ways. We must be better prepared for 
     the next crisis and that requires taking bold action starting 
     right away.
       Critical Supply Chain Resilience Program. The bill 
     authorizes $45 billion in federal assistance to support 
     supply chain resilience and manufacturing of critical goods. 
     At an October 14, 2021, Energy & Commerce subcommittee 
     hearing, AAM testified in support of this initiative because 
     it offers the opportunity to create a long-overdue policy 
     framework for supply chain security, resiliency, and 
     revitalization. We also cautioned that policy guardrails 
     should be added to ensure that this assistance can only be 
     used for U.S.-based investments and should utilize U.S.-
     produced construction inputs. While we appreciate that some 
     of these concerns have already been addressed, more should be 
     done to ensure that tax dollars are not used to build up 
     production capacity offshore when domestic investment should 
     be the clear priority.
       AAM supports adoption of the Garamendi (D-CA) amendment to 
     apply existing domestic content preferences for iron, steel, 
     manufactured products, and construction materials to federal 
     assistance projects funded by the Critical Supply Chain 
     Resilience Program.
       Strategic Transformer Reserve and Resilience Program. The 
     bill authorizes a new program to reduce the vulnerability of 
     the electric grid by establishing a Strategic Transformer 
     Reserve. While the provision aims to ``facilitate the 
     domestic manufacturing'' of transformers and related critical 
     grid equipment, it would be improved by giving preference to 
     U.S.-produced components necessary for transformer 
     production.
       AAM supports adoption of the Lamb (D-PA) amendment to add a 
     domestic content preference for electrical steel used in 
     transformer components, a critical input that is at risk due 
     to predatory trade practices by competitors.
       Section 301 Policy. AAM applauds the House bill for 
     discarding the Senate's deeply flawed provision that would 
     undermine Section 301 tariffs applied to certain imports from 
     China. USICA--the Senate version of the bill--includes 
     language mandating that the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) 
     reinstate all exemptions and exclusions to the 301 tariffs 
     through the end of 2022. Doing so would completely take the 
     fact-based review process out of USTR's hands while giving 
     Beijing a free pass in legislation intended to counter 
     China's predatory economic and trade policies.
       AAM is opposed to the Murphy (D-FL) amendment to insert the 
     Senate's flawed anti-Section 301 provision into the House's 
     bill.
       AAM is opposed to the Kind (D-WI)/DelBene (D-WA) amendment 
     to express the sense of Congress that USTR should expand 
     Section 301 exclusions, resulting in increased imports from 
     China.
       Import Security and Fairness Act. The bill includes Rep. 
     Blumenauer's (D-OR) commonsense reforms to U.S. de minimis 
     policy, which is routinely exploited to evade U.S. 
     enforcement actions against competitors engaged in systematic 
     unfair trade. The bill takes aim at the worst offenders, 
     while also addressing loopholes used by bad actors to avoid 
     paying taxes, duties and fees. We strongly encourage the 
     adoption of these reforms while also ensuring that additional 
     steps are taken to monitor transshipments and increases in de 
     minimis volume from other countries.
       Leveling the Playing Field Act 2.0. The bill includes the 
     bipartisan, bicameral Sewell (D-AL)/Johnson (R-OH) measure to 
     modernize our antidumping and countervailing duty (AD/CVD) 
     trade remedy laws to keep up with unfair trade tactics used 
     by foreign competition to seize U.S. market share. As we seek 
     to revitalize our industrial base and grow our economy, these 
     commonsense updates to our trade enforcement tools will 
     support domestic manufacturers and American workers facing 
     predatory and unfair imports.
       National Critical Capabilities Defense Act. The bill 
     includes the bipartisan, bicameral DeLauro (D-CT)/Pascrell 
     (D-NJ)/Spartz (R-IN)/Fitzpatrick (R-PA) measure to establish 
     an outbound investment review process designed to avert the 
     offshoring of production capacity in critical U.S. sectors to 
     foreign adversaries. By creating additional visibility into 
     supply chains, this legislation establishes mechanisms to 
     ensure that our national security is not undermined by the 
     outsourcing of these ``national critical capabilities.'' The 
     provision provides necessary tools in the event that a 
     national security risk is identified.
       The America COMPETES Act presents a valuable opportunity to 
     take concrete steps to strengthen domestic manufacturing, 
     rebuild critical supply chains, and strengthen the tools 
     available to counter unfair trade. Thank you for your support 
     of American manufacturing.
           Sincerely,

                                                Scott N. Paul,

                                  President, Alliance for American
                                                    Manufacturing.

  Mr. BABIN. Madam Speaker, I continue to reserve the balance of my 
time.
  Ms. JOHNSON of Texas. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the 
gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Mrvan).
  Mr. MRVAN. Madam Speaker, I thank Chairwoman Johnson for allowing me 
to speak in support of H.R. 5421, the America COMPETES Act of 2022.
  Congress must advance this legislation to ensure American technology 
and manufacturing has the innovation advantage to continue to grow our 
economy, strengthen our national security, and tackle our supply chain 
issues.
  Indiana's First Congressional District is home to an incredible 
manufacturing, steel, and industrial complex, and I want to recognize 
my Senate colleague from Indiana, Senator Todd Young, for his 
initiative on the Senate companion legislation, the Endless Frontier 
Act.
  Our Nation has been faced with technology challenges in the past. 
Today, we have the opportunity to legislate together, with our 
collective interests in mind, to protect our workers and lead the world 
in innovation.
  Madam Speaker, I thank Chairwoman Johnson for the time, and I 
encourage all my House colleagues to support the America COMPETES Act.

                              {time}  1645

  Mr. BABIN. Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. JOHNSON of Texas. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the 
gentlewoman from California (Ms. Eshoo).

[[Page H823]]

  

  Ms. ESHOO. Madam Speaker, I thank the chairwoman who has done so much 
extraordinary work in leading the Science Committee and bringing this 
forward.
  Madam Speaker, I rise with great enthusiasm in support of this 
legislation because it is so highly consequential for our country. If 
anyone is concerned about supply chains, this legislation is for you. 
If we are concerned about inflation as a result of supply chain issues, 
we have policies in this that are going to speak to it.
  I am very proud that four of my bills are included in the underlying 
bill. They deal with chip material and equipment production to the API 
that is used for drugs that are manufactured overseas and that we need 
to bring back to the United States. We have created a comprehensive 
study so that we can really study wireless network cybersecurity and 
also to educate the public on best cyber recommendations.
  Madam Speaker, I urge all of my colleagues. This is really 
nonpartisan legislation. It is about keeping America competitive, 
moving our greatness ahead, making sure we address where we are 
lagging. It will be good for our entire country, for its workers, and 
our economy.
  Mr. BABIN. Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. JOHNSON of Texas. Madam Speaker, how much time remains?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman from Texas has 17 minutes 
remaining.
  Ms. JOHNSON of Texas. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the 
gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Johnson).
  Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I have an amendment at the 
desk.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman is recognized for general 
debate.
  Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. Madam Speaker, my amendment would help 
strengthen cybersecurity, improve American competitiveness, and 
contribute to a more diverse workplace by creating the David Satcher 
Cybersecurity Education Grant Program which gives the Commerce 
Department's National Institute of Standards and Technology, also known 
as NIST, the authority to make grants to historically Black colleges 
and universities and also minority-serving institutions and schools 
that serve large numbers of Pell Grant receiving students. It would 
help these students promote cybersecurity education and research.
  Madam Speaker, we must include more women and minorities so we are 
maximizing all the tech talent our country has to offer. We are engaged 
in a cyber war, and we need all hands on deck. HBCUs are doing some of 
the most sophisticated and technologically advanced work in our Nation, 
and we should tap into and fully support those institutions to help us 
win this cyber war. I urge my colleagues to support my amendment when 
it comes up.
  I would also recognize the fact that, as I have listened to the 
debate today on this very important topic, from my friends on the other 
side of the aisle I have heard a lot of Asian bashing. It is quite 
dangerous for us to go down that path, stoking the passions of people 
against other people. This is not about other people. This is about 
what America can do to put itself in a position to protect its supply 
chains and to make things in America and restore the greatness that 
this country has.
  Madam Speaker, I would urge my colleagues on the other side of the 
aisle to refrain from the constant bashing of Asian people because it 
translates into real time. I mean, it has a real detrimental effect to 
our brothers and sisters who may not look like some but they are 
people, too. They are Americans as well. So we should not demonize an 
entire people just to score cheap political points.
  Mr. BABIN. Madam Speaker, I take great offense at what I just heard, 
that we are supposedly Asian bashing. Nothing could be further from the 
truth. This is typical Democrat accusations, politics, and identity 
politics; I should say this. We have never bashed anybody for their 
heritage whatsoever. Our argument is totally 100 percent countering the 
Chinese Communist Party. It has nothing whatsoever to do with the 
heritage of any people whatsoever.
  Our greatest adversary in the world today is the Chinese Communist 
Party. If we can't push back on the Communist Chinese without being 
accused of racial accusations and racism, which is so typical of this 
other side, I feel like this country is not being well served at all.
  Madam Speaker, with that, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. JOHNSON of Texas. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the 
gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Mrvan).
  Mr. MRVAN. Madam Speaker, I want to take this opportunity to thank 
the chairwoman and to reiterate one fact, a story about my district, 
one of the top-producing steel districts in the Nation and also one of 
the top auto producers in the Nation.
  Today we are faced with enhancing the ability for them to perform, 
enhancing the ability to produce automobiles because it takes 
semiconductors. When we don't have semiconductors, people stop working. 
When the auto industry stops working, then the steel industry stops 
working. Then my district is impacted. Today is vital for the creation 
of jobs, to protect our Nation, and, as a national security issue, to 
be able to correct the supply chain and to be able to produce 
semiconductors here in the United States.
  The vitality of that is the example of the plant in Columbus, Ohio, 
and the investments that are going to be made in technology jobs so 
that the next generation of workers in technology will have an 
opportunity to equitably participate in our economy.
  Madam Speaker, I encourage the House to pass this piece of 
legislation.
  Mr. BABIN. Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.

  Ms. JOHNSON of Texas. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the 
gentlewoman from California (Ms. Pelosi).
  Ms. PELOSI. Madam Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman for her 
recognition. I want to recognize her as a great leader on the matter 
before us today. This legislation, the America COMPETES Act, is 
something that has come to the floor largely because of the investments 
that she has made over the years in science and technology, keeping 
America competitive, and now as the chair of the Committee on Science, 
Space, and Technology. I thank her for the intellect that she has 
brought to this and the reputation that she has enjoyed in the 
scientific and academic community in support of her legislative 
initiatives, this bill being a highlight of it all.
  Madam Speaker, America has long been a beacon of excellence in 
science and engineering in the world, forging innovations that have 
been transformative for workers, businesses, and for our economy. By 
investing in education and research, we were preeminent. We have been 
preeminent in the world's arena. A number of years ago, maybe 20, maybe 
longer, other countries followed our blueprint. They followed our lead. 
They invested in education and recognized the value of investment in 
research and new technologies. Now they threaten our position as the 
world leader in science and innovation. We have been seeing that over 
time.
  The technology that we rely on each day and those that will take us 
into the future must be made here in America or else we will be at the 
mercy of those other countries, driving up costs for American families 
and eroding our global competitiveness.
  Madam Speaker, this situation is a challenge to the economic security 
of our country, the financial security of our families, and the 
national security of our Nation. It must be met head-on with bold, 
strategic action that seizes the opportunity for progress. Today the 
House is seizing that opportunity in passing legislation that meets the 
moment by securing the preeminence of American manufacturing, 
innovation, and economic strength with the America COMPETES Act.
  To be preeminent in technology and innovation is essential so that 
America becomes self-sufficient in the manufacture of critical goods.
  The America COMPETES Act will do this, and transport our Nation into 
the future, by: First, supercharging our investment in CHIPS for 
America Act. Semiconductors are a key component to everything from 
computers to cars to your personal phone, Madam Speaker. Cars contain 
hundreds of chips; electric cars, thousands. Chips are the lifeblood of 
modern technology.
  Over the past 30 years, America's global share of manufacturing 
semiconductors has been outpaced by other

[[Page H824]]

countries, leaving us dependent on those countries and vulnerable to 
their supply chain issues, which drive up costs at home, for Americans.
  The America COMPETES Act directs $52 billion for the CHIPS for 
America Act. That is contained in this bill. It will address supply 
chain disruptions that push up costs for families, bring back chips 
production to America, and ensure that the United States leads the way 
on semiconductor fabrication.
  Madam Speaker, specifically, the bill provides financial assistance 
to incentivize investment in facilities and equipment for semiconductor 
fabrication, assembly, testing, advanced packaging, and research 
development. This is very specific and very well thought out.
  Secondly, the America COMPETES Act advances manufacturing at home in 
our country and strengthens our supply chains. The pandemic has exposed 
the vulnerabilities of global supply chains that rely on other 
countries. We need to be making goods in America with American workers. 
The America COMPETES Act authorizes $45 billion to support the 
manufacture and acquisition of critical goods or industrial equipment 
that are essential for national security and economic vitality 
including components and products for public health in biological 
preparedness. This is very important.
  Madam Speaker, information and communications technology, energy and 
transportation sector's industrial base, and agriculture and food 
product supply chains, that affects everyone in our country.
  The America COMPETES Act reduces our reliance on critical goods from 
countries of concern and encourages the relocation of manufacturing 
facilities out of those countries. It supports the creation of jobs 
with competitive wages including by preserving existing collective 
bargaining agreements and supporting union organizing efforts.
  I will remind you that one and two were about supercharging our 
investment in chips and advancing manufacturing at home and 
strengthening the supply chains.

                              {time}  1700

  Three, the America COMPETES Act advances America's scientific 
research and innovation excellence to ensure that we lead the 
technologies of the future. It includes a suite of bipartisan science, 
research, and technology bills to turbocharge American innovation 
focused squarely on producing solutions and results. I reiterate, a 
suite of bills that have been bipartisan in committee and on the floor 
of the House.
  It maximizes the American talent pool by strengthening and 
diversifying our Nation's STEM workforce. This is very important 
because we want many more people, women, people of color, other 
previously underrepresented communities to be part of this.
  And, fourth, the America COMPETES Act promotes U.S. global 
leadership, ensuring that the 21st century is the American century, 
positioning the interests and values of the United States to win on the 
world stage. And there are competitors for that honor.
  Central to the America COMPETES Act is the strong action taken to 
hold the PRC accountable for its trade abuses, which hurt U.S. workers, 
and for its human rights violations, including the genocide against the 
Uyghurs. People have to understand the connection between human rights 
violations and fairness to American workers. Actually, what is 
happening in China with the Uyghurs is beyond human rights; it is 
genocide to the nth degree.
  This use of forced labor which they are doing with the Uyghurs is 
immoral and horrific, yes, and it hurts U.S. workers who have to 
compete with slave labor. So understand human rights there and fairness 
to our workers here are connected.
  The House bill reflects a rigorous, comprehensive process of 
listening to the experts and crafting legislation that will truly rise 
to this challenge, and I thank Madam Chair for doing that. Eleven 
committees have fed into this legislation, so I know we have heard from 
many of the chairs in the debate today, and we will hear from many more 
Members as we go into the amendment process. But I want to congratulate 
you, Madam Chair.
  Well over 100 research and scientific institutions have already 
endorsed this bill or its key components, from:
  Academic institutions: Including the Association of American 
Universities and dozens of top research universities, including the Ivy 
League schools and leading public institutions, including the 
University of California system.
  Leading scientific groups: Such as American Association for the 
Advancement of Science, American Nuclear Society, American Mathematical 
Society, and American Society for Engineering Education.
  Top innovation firms and business groups: The Chamber of Commerce, 
the Semiconductor Industry Association, the National Association of 
Manufacturers, and companies like Intel who invest in these chips.
  Groups representing American workers--and this is very important.
  Groups representing American workers, led by the AFL-CIO, and I 
mentioned the Teamsters, who write, ``On behalf of America's supply 
chain union,'' they call themselves, ``I applaud the House Democratic 
leadership for moving forward with their own legislation that addresses 
the crucial issue of competing with China in a way that benefits U.S. 
working families for many years to come.'' Their statement continues, 
``I agree with President Biden that America COMPETES Act will bring 
manufacturing jobs back home to this country and make America's supply 
chains more resilient.''
  The America COMPETES Act is built on bipartisan bills, many of which 
have already passed the House with overwhelming bipartisan margins, my 
colleagues, overwhelming bipartisan margins. And that includes the 
National Science Foundation for the Future Act, the Department of 
Energy Science for the Future Act, Rural STEM Education Act, Open RAN 
Outreach Act, FUTURE Networks Act, Strengthening America's Strategic 
National Stockpile Act, and many more.
  In closing, I just want to say the America COMPETES Act recognizes 
and meets the challenges of the 21st century, ensuring that America 
cannot just compete but must win the global landscape. As I said in the 
beginning, we were in the lead. We set a good example for the world. 
Others followed our lead and became competitive with us.
  A vote for this bill would be a vote for making more American goods 
here in America with American workers. A vote for this bill would 
strengthen our supply chains and lower costs for families. It would 
bring forceful action to ensure that America, not the People's Republic 
of China, but America writes the rules of the road for the 21st 
century.
  Madam Speaker, I urge a strong bipartisan vote for the America 
COMPETES Act and for ensuring the global preeminence of America's 
manufacturing for American workers and the American economy and our 
security now and for years to come.
  Again, congratulations to Chairwoman Eddie Bernice Johnson and other 
chairs who worked so hard to bring this very important legislation to 
the floor and to the fore.
  Mr. BABIN. Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. JOHNSON of Texas. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the 
gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. Jackson Lee).
  Ms. JACKSON LEE. Madam Speaker, first of all, I think it is important 
to say how great it is to have an opportunity to create jobs and 
promote human rights at the same time, while respecting our fellow 
Americans, Asian Pacific Americans.
  I think it is important that we make that statement, that as we 
promote this very important legislation, Asian Pacific Islanders and 
others will also have the respect of this Nation because we do believe 
in human rights.
  But I want to pause for a moment to be able to thank my friend, my 
colleague, the Honorable Eddie Bernice Johnson, for sticking to her 
higher values, her commitment to science for more than two decades, 
going on three decades.
  As I watched her on the Science Committee, first as a member myself, 
and then as she proceeded to take the leadership reins, look where we 
are today, with an outstanding America COMPETES Act that builds on 
previous legislation, brings together 11 jurisdictional committees, and 
comes out on the side of creating jobs. We owe her a great debt of 
gratitude, and I am grateful to call her a Member of the United

[[Page H825]]

States Congress, but I am even more grateful to call her a fellow 
Texan.

  This legislation will answer the questions of those who are 
complaining about the supply chain because $45 billion will improve our 
Nation's supply chain and strengthen our economy and national security 
by preventing shortages of critical goods.
  There is an outcry of inflation. There is an outcry of empty shelves, 
but I will tell you that the immediate signing of this bill will turn 
the corner for all Americans. I am grateful that we will be advancing 
the American scientific research technology and innovation.
  Just the other day I was at the Ion Center sponsored by Rice, and 
looking at a number of technology companies in my 18th Congressional 
District. I was glad to talk to a former truck driver who was there in 
a program that dealt with training at-risk persons or persons who were 
changing careers. He was saying he could not do trucking anymore, but 
how glad he was to do this.
  I am also very glad that legislation that I had is in this bill 
regarding STEM and also K-12 students by creating State and regional 
workshops to create jobs. This is a bill that will continue to create 
jobs and working with the National Science Foundation to ensure the 
diversity in STEM.
  I will continue to work on these issues and create jobs. The COMPETES 
Act creates jobs.
  Madam Speaker, as a senior member of the House and the Committee on 
Homeland Security, and as Chair of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime, 
Terrorism, and Homeland Security, I rise in strong support of Rules 
Committee Print 117-31 and H.R. 4521, the America Creating 
Opportunities for Manufacturing Pre-Eminence in Technology and Economic 
Strength or ``America COMPETES) Act of 2022,'' as well as the 
underlying legislation.
  I particularly wish to thank my colleague from Texas, Congresswoman 
Eddie Bernice Johnson, the Chair of the Science, Space, and Technology 
Committee, for her extraordinary leadership and the progress and 
success made possible by her steadfast commitment to fairness and 
equality.
  For 15 terms the constituents of her congressional district have been 
ably represented by one of this body's great legislators, who will be 
missed deeply when she leaves this body at the end of the current 
Congress.
  Madam Speaker, the America COMPETES Act of 2022 is a bold legislative 
package that makes transformational new investments in research, 
innovation and American manufacturing that will ensure that America can 
outcompete any nation in the world, now and for decades to come.
  The package will accelerate production of critical semiconductor 
chips, strengthen the supply chain to make more goods in America, 
turbocharge our research capacity to lead the technologies of the 
future, and advance our global competitiveness, while supporting strong 
labor standards and human rights, among other key provisions.
  The America COMPETES Act of 2022 is a bold, comprehensive package to 
strengthen America's competitiveness, which includes the ``Creating the 
CHIPS for America Fund,'' providing $52 billion to incentivize private-
sector investments and continue American leadership in semiconductor 
fabrication, helping address supply chain disruptions and ensure that 
more semiconductors are produced here at home.
  The legislation strengthening the supply chain and American 
manufacturing by authorizing $45 billion to improve our nation's supply 
chains and strengthen our economy and national security by preventing 
shortages of critical goods and ensuring that more of these goods are 
made right here in the United States.
  The America COMPETES Act of 2022 advances American scientific 
research, technology, and innovation excellence by making major new 
solutions-driven investments in every aspect of innovation and 
scientific research, making the kind of investments that will lead to 
breakthrough discoveries.
  I am particularly pleased that the America COMPETES Act will help 
maintain and secure America's global competitiveness and leadership 
through economic development diplomacy, human rights, and partnering 
with allies by including numerous provisions to strengthen and promote 
America's leadership around the globe, including in such areas as 
investing in partnerships and alliances, investing in standing up for 
America's values, expanding our investments in diplomacy, and promoting 
human rights.
  Madam Speaker, the United States has long been a beacon of excellence 
in science and technology in the world.
  I have worked hard on the COMPETES Act over time to make sure that 
this legislation includes provisions that stimulates government 
reinvestment in the private sector; and reimagination of the Federal 
government's approach to innovation that ignites and excites new ideas 
that ensure that the United States remains the leader in innovation 
globally.
  I am very pleased that the legislation before us retains provisions I 
sponsored that were included when the America COMPETES Act was 
previously passed.
  One of those provisions, which is incorporated in RCP 117-31 
addresses the STEM education gap for K-12 students by creating State 
and regional workshops to train K-12 teachers in project-based science 
and technology learning, allowing them to provide instruction in 
initiating robotics and other STEM competition team development 
programs.
  Another provision included in the legislation requires the National 
Science Foundation (NSF) to report on the economic and ethnic breakdown 
of ``Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics'' (STEM) industry 
internship program recipients.
  Facilitating links between institutes of higher education and the 
private sector is vital to ensuring that education enables a skilled 
and relevant workforce.
  Such links are especially important for minorities and under-served 
communities because these students often lack alternative avenues to 
connect their education with an industry.
  Internship experience is an increasingly vital component of a 
successful resume, yet the unpaid nature of internships is cost-
prohibitive for many people.
  Mandating that the National Science Foundation report on the economic 
and ethnic breakdown of STEM program recipients will help ensure that 
minorities and economically disadvantaged students have adequate access 
to internships that bridge STEM academia and industry.
  I am hopeful this data will provide evidence of robust participation 
by minority and economically disadvantaged students; however, if such 
students are not fully participating, these reporting requirements will 
provide Congress with the data it needs to facilitate broader 
participation.
  Now is the time to recommit to boldly and strategically investing in 
our nation's future--to promote America's economic strength, the well-
being of our communities, our national security and our leadership in 
the world. This transformative legislation will ensure that America can 
out-compete any nation, for decades to come.
  Madam Speaker, I strongly support this legislation and urge all 
Members to join me in voting for the rule governing debate of RCP 117-
31, the America COMPETES Act of 2022.
  Mr. BABIN. Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. JOHNSON of Texas. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the 
gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Garcia).
  Mr. GARCIA of Illinois. Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of the 
America COMPETES Act. We have heard a lot about competing with China on 
the global stage, and I strongly agree that we have to invest in 
American innovation.
  But what does innovation mean if technological development and 
economic growth leaves everyday people behind? To truly compete, we 
must take a hard look inward.
  Our economy is built on the backs of many low-wage workers, many of 
them being Latino, Black, and immigrant, like my neighbors in Chicago.
  How can we compete globally as inequality rises, our healthcare 
system crumbles, and the middle class remains out of reach for 
millions?
  I support the America COMPETES Act because it puts our focus on where 
it needs to be, on investing in communities. The bill strengthens our 
supply chains, builds sustainable technologies, includes people from 
diverse backgrounds in the STEM field, and protects and expands living-
wage jobs.
  It is about real access to opportunity, so more Americans can share 
in our country's wealth because our people are our strength.
  Mr. BABIN. Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. JOHNSON of Texas. Madam Speaker, how much time is remaining?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman from Texas has 10 minutes 
remaining.
  Ms. JOHNSON of Texas. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the 
gentlewoman from California (Ms. Speier).
  Ms. SPEIER. Madam Speaker, I thank the chairwoman for the bold 
legislation and for her legacy of service.
  Members, we cannot rest, we cannot be asleep at the switch. The 
countries that innovate and commercialize new

technologies the fastest will be able to set the political, military, 
and economic agenda for the 21st century. We must prevail.
  The global microchip shortage is only a symptom of a broader 
challenge, which is that the United States' share of global 
semiconductor production has fallen from 37 percent to just 12 percent 
over the last 30 years.
  President Putin recently said the country that becomes the leader in 
AI will reign the world. Think about that. It is all about artificial 
intelligence. In the field of AI, China now surpasses the United States 
in the global share of research papers and consistently files more AI 
patents than any other country.
  The America COMPETES Act will reset our focus. We need to invest in 
research; we need to invest in application; and we need to invest in 
talent.
  The decline in American technology, innovation, and competitiveness 
is a national security challenge. We must avoid it.
  Mr. BABIN. Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. JOHNSON of Texas. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the 
gentlewoman from Ohio (Ms. Kaptur).
  Ms. KAPTUR. Madam Speaker, I thank the Chairwoman for yielding and 
thank her for her dutiful service to our country. What a legacy to 
leave for the American people. Congratulations.
  I rise today to highlight two amendments I have offered to the 
America COMPETES Act. The first will ensure that innovative startups in 
our Great Lakes region, our freshwater industrial heartland, are 
prioritized when Federal support is awarded to accelerate the 
commercialization of clean energy technology.
  The second will allow economically distressed communities throughout 
the industrial heartland to receive fair consideration for new 
investments in domestic solar facilities. This is vitally important 
when our Nation is competing against China, which constantly hacks our 
technology and takes outsourced jobs paying penny wages to their 
workers.
  The America COMPETES Act offers a remarkable opportunity to stimulate 
21st century growth in America. We must make sure these investments 
reach down to the communities that have been outsourced of jobs and not 
always received their fair share in compensation.
  My amendments will allow Great Lakes communities to receive the 
resources they deserve as they labor to make, build, and grow that 
which makes, builds, and grows America. I ask for support of these 
amendments.
  Mr. BABIN. Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. JOHNSON of Texas. Madam Speaker, how much time remains?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman from Texas has 8 minutes 
remaining.
  Ms. JOHNSON of Texas. Madam Speaker, we have no further requests for 
time.
  Mr. BABIN. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  During the past 2 hours of debate, you have heard my colleagues 
mention dozens and dozens of flaws in this bill, and they haven't even 
covered all of them.
  There is an excessive transfer of taxpayer dollars to international 
climate slush funds, with no guardrails preventing that money from 
going to China, our greatest adversary today.

                              {time}  1715

  There is a dramatic expansion of the Treasury's authority, giving 
them unchecked power to block Americans' digital currency payments 
worldwide. There is the permanent extension of the healthcare tax 
credit for trade adjustment assistance beneficiaries with no 
justification. There are Solyndra-style loan guarantees.
  It seems like this bill has everything in it except for the one thing 
that it desperately needs: a focus on countering the growing danger we 
face from the Chinese Communist Party.
  There is no question in my mind that the Chinese Communist Party is 
the greatest threat that we face as a nation today. I was proud to work 
on bipartisan House Science, Space, and Technology Committee 
legislation to make America more competitive and more secure. I had 
high hopes that we could take our proposals, which passed the House 
with broad bipartisan support, and conference them with the Senate to 
create a strong, strategic approach for America's continued 
technological growth and global competitiveness.
  Unfortunately, the Speaker had other priorities. Instead of moving 
forward on a true China bill, she created a massive Christmas tree with 
unrelated liberal priorities hung from every branch like ornaments.
  We cannot afford this partisan gamesmanship. The threat is too real 
for the American people and our national security.
  I urge my colleagues to oppose this bill, and I yield back the 
balance of my time.
  Ms. JOHNSON of Texas. Madam Speaker, I have no further requests for 
time, and I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Madam Speaker, I am proud to join with 
Speaker Pelosi and my Democratic colleagues in support of the ``America 
COMPETES Act''--legislation that holds the promise of preserving 
America's place as a global economic leader for generations to come.
  Enactment of this comprehensive and strategic package of largely 
bipartisan measures would enhance America's competitiveness on the 
world economic stage and our security.
  This package includes bipartisan legislation advanced by the 
Committee on Homeland Security that spurs scientific and technological 
innovation and, at the same time, reduces our dependence on foreign 
countries by creating incentives for more U.S. manufacturing of 
critical goods and technology.
  The ``America COMPETES Act'' includes legislation offered by my 
colleague on the Homeland Security Committee, Representative Correa, 
which passed the House last November. The ``Homeland Procurement Reform 
Act,'' or ``HOPR Act,'' requires the Department of Homeland Security 
use least one-third of the funds obligated for uniforms or gear, like 
vital personal protective equipment, to purchase goods manufactured or 
supplied by American small businesses to the maximum extent possible.
  These provisions would boost domestic sourcing of vital homeland 
security equipment and supplies, create new opportunities for small 
businesses, and improve supply chain security.
  The vice chair of the Homeland Security Committee, Representative 
Torres, has also focused on supply chain security. His ``DHS Software 
Supply Chain Risk Management Act'' is included in the homeland security 
division of this measure.
  This legislation directs DHS to issue Department-wide guidance to 
improve visibility into the supply chain for software purchased from 
new and existing contractors. As the lead Federal agency for 
cybersecurity, it is important that DHS lead by example in aggressively 
protecting its own networks.
  Similarly, Representative Guest's ``Unmanned Aerial Security Act'' 
ensures the integrity of DHS data by preventing DHS from operating, 
financing, or procuring unmanned aircraft systems that are manufactured 
in certain foreign countries that are identified as foreign adversaries 
by the intelligence community.
  Finally, the homeland security division of this measure also includes 
Representative McEachin's ``Department of Homeland Security Mentor-
Protege Program Act,'' which would help build and sustain a reliable 
pool of small business vendors that could compete for DHS contracts. 
This program encourages big businesses to help small businesses build 
their capacity to compete for government contracts, which is incredibly 
important for woman-, veteran-, and minority-owned firms.
  The ``America COMPETES Act'' strengthens our economy, creates good 
jobs--including good union jobs--and delivers for American families.
  Madam Speaker, I congratulate my dear friend, Representative Eddie 
Bernice Johnson, the chair of the Science, Space, and Technology 
Committee for shepherding this complex bill through the legislative 
process. I am so pleased we are acting expeditiously on this measure 
and look forward to working with my partners here and in the Senate to 
turbo-charge our economy by getting this package signed into law.
  Mr. McHENRY. Madam Speaker, I rise today to express my strong 
opposition to H.R. 4521.
  This bill does nothing to counter the global threat posed by the 
Chinese Communist Party. This bill will not make our global standing 
stronger. In fact, this bill suggests a sort of complacency with 
respect to China and its agenda.
  This bill says that we must compete with China on China's terms to 
succeed.
  This is the wrong kind of thinking.
  There are three principles that I think we need to focus on when 
dealing with China.
  First, for the United States to beat China, it cannot become China. 
We need to focus on

[[Page H827]]

America's ability to innovate, grow, and efficiently allocate capital. 
We need to reaffirm our commitment to free people and free markets.
  Second, the United States and its allies must prevent China from 
rewriting the international rules of the road.
  Third, we need to lead by example. National security requires the 
United States financial sector to remain open, vibrant, and resilient, 
even as we prevent Chinese companies from advancing Beijing's strategic 
goals.
  This bill fails to accomplish any of these goals.
  In fact, this bill is contrary to many of the principles that have 
made this country great.
  For example, this bill would create a back door for the Treasury 
Secretary to strangle financial innovation.
  Currently, under Section 311 of the PATRIOT Act, the Treasury 
Secretary can invoke one of five special measures when a foreign entity 
is suspected of money laundering and investigate potential wrongdoing.
  These measures have only been invoked 26 times since enactment, with 
12 of those ultimately rescinded. This is a powerful regulatory tool 
that Democrats now want to expand so that the Department of Treasury 
can block individual financial transactions as it sees fit.
  The Democrats' partisan bill would allow the Treasury Secretary to 
redefine what counts as a ``transmittal of funds,'' potentially 
sweeping up vast swaths of the digital economy and shutting down 
transactions with people and institutions they don't like abroad.
  We went through this during the Obama Administration and Operation 
Chokepoint, when we witnessed unelected bureaucrats at agencies across 
the federal government shutting legal businesses out of the banking 
system for little more than ideological disagreement.
  Well, here we are again. This time the target is digital assets. It's 
been clear from the start that this Administration and Democrats are 
anti-innovation.
  Unfortunately, this is not the only time we've seen this move; 
Democrats recently tried adding this provision to the NDAA as well.
  It was a bad policy there, and it's a bad policy now. Elected 
officials need to govern cryptocurrency thoughtfully and transparently, 
not slip prohibitions into an unrelated, 3,000-page bill.
  To ensure our continued leadership, including in the digital assets 
space, we must focus on our strengths and the frameworks that work that 
made our country great--the free market. We should legislate to ensure 
those attributes are protected--not legislate out of fear.
  Mr. SABLAN. Madam Speaker, the America COMPETES Act makes landmark 
investments to ensure our people, research, innovation, and 
manufacturing remain competitive globally. The legislation includes 
several of my bills supporting these goals: by providing Marianas 
students pathways to well-paying jobs through access to STEM courses 
and apprenticeships, by ensuring math and science teachers in the 
Marianas are recognized at the national level along with their peers in 
education, and by protecting the ocean life that has always been so 
important to the people and culture of the Marianas.
  To be specific the America COMPETES Act includes my bill, the 
Outlying Areas Apprenticeship Expansion Act, which provides $2.8 
million to establish an apprenticeship program. Our school systems 
already equip students with the skills employers seek. Now we need to 
build a connection between that classroom learning and the real-world 
workplace. Apprenticeships provide that link. And with our economy 
still struggling to recover due to the pandemic, that link is needed 
now more than ever.
  We also need to recognize the teachers who are giving those students 
the skills they need. My bill, the STEM Educator Awards Equity Act, has 
also been incorporated in the COMPETES Act and expands the annual 
Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching 
so a teacher in each of America's insular areas can be recognized. 
Selected teachers receive $10,000 from the National Science Foundation 
and participate in expert-led training and collaboration opportunities 
in Washington. Currently, teachers from the Marianas, Guam, American 
Samoa, and the U.S. Virgin Islands must compete against each other for 
two awards. This defeats the purpose of the program, which is to 
inspire excellence and provide a role model in every area of our 
nation.
  Lastly, the America COMPETES Act protects our environment, which is 
the foundation of economic activity. The bill addresses the sharp 
decline in shark populations by banning the commercial trade in shark 
fins. This matches the ban in my legislation, H.R. 2811, which has 240 
cosponsors in the House of Representatives, and which follows the lead 
already established by law in the Marianas and U.S. state governments. 
The COMPETES Act will also protect the Marianas' coral reefs through 
increased funding for conservation activities. These provisions support 
our tourism economy by maintaining the natural beauty of our islands to 
showcase to visitors from around the world.
  With historic investments in job training, STEM education and the 
environment, the America COMPETES Act supports communities in the 
Marianas and around America in this time of economic challenge. I ask 
my colleagues to support the America COMPETES Act.
  Ms. ESHOO. Madam Speaker, I rise in strong support of H.R. 4521, the 
America COMPETES Act, critical legislation to ensure America maintains 
its leadership in science and technology on the global stage and 
invests where we are lagging.
  The legislation includes $52 billion to fund the CHIPS for America 
Act, authorizing legislation I was proud to cosponsor last Congress. 
Additionally, the America COMPETES Act, includes four of my bills:
  (1) Section 10002(a)(1) is based on H.R. 6359, the Investing in 
Domestic Semiconductor Manufacturing Act, bipartisan and bicameral 
legislation I introduced to bolster American semiconductor production 
and supply chains by expanding the eligibility of the programs 
authorized under the CHIPS for America Act to include manufacturers of 
semiconductor materials and equipment. I thank Rep. Trent Kelly, along 
with Senators Gary Peters, Rob Portman, Marsha Blackburn, and Mark 
Kelly for partnering with me on this important legislation.
  (2) Section 20403 is based on H.R. 6483, the Improved Transparency of 
Foreign Drug Manufacturing Act, which is a bill I introduced that 
directs the Food and Drug Administration to collect additional 
information on drugs and the active pharmaceutical ingredients that are 
manufactured overseas every three months instead of annually. This will 
help to better identify the drugs that are most dependent on foreign 
supply chains. This is legislation that the FDA testified is needed 
during a House Health Subcommittee hearing.
  (3) Section 20102 is based on H.R. 2685, the Understanding 
Cybersecurity of Mobile Networks Act, bipartisan legislation which 
requires the National Telecommunications and Information Administration 
(NTIA) to conduct a comprehensive study on the cybersecurity 
vulnerabilities of our 2G, 3G, and 4G networks. There have been many 
one-off reports from agencies, universities, companies, and think 
tanks, but we need a comprehensive study on what vulnerabilities exist 
and what has been addressed, so that policymakers have the full 
picture. I thank Rep. Adam Kinzinger for partnering with me on this 
legislation which passed the House on December 1, 2021, as a standalone 
bill.
  (4) Section 20107 is based on H.R. 4055, the American Cybersecurity 
Literacy Act, bipartisan legislation I co-led with Rep. Kinzinger, 
along with Senators Amy Klobuchar and John Thune, that requires the 
Department of Commerce to conduct a public education campaign to 
improve cyber literacy among the American populace. H.R. 4055 passed 
the House on December 1, 2021.
  I thank Chairman Frank Pallone and Chairwoman Eddie Bernice Johnson 
for including an update to the bill in the manager's amendment based on 
Rules Amendment No. 57 that I authored.
  In addition to the above provisions, I thank the Rules Committee for 
making in order three of my amendments for consideration by the House, 
and I ask my colleagues to vote for them:
  Amendment No. 75, which appears as the new Paragraph (4) of Section 
10002(b), amends a requirement in the CHIPS for America Act for an 
existing GAO study to include an evaluation of demand-side incentives 
(i.e., role of government as a buyer of technology) for alleviating 
semiconductor shortages in the information communications and 
technology industry and in other industries.
  Amendment No. 76 creates a new Section 50105 based on H.R. 6541, the 
Improving Cybersecurity of Small Businesses, Nonprofits, and Local 
Governments Act, which is my bipartisan and bicameral bill that directs 
the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency to publish an 
annual report to promote evidence-based policies and controls that 
small entities (i.e., small businesses, nonprofits, local governments) 
may employ to improve cybersecurity. The provision also requires a 
Commerce Department annual report on barriers that small entities face 
in implementing cybersecurity policies and controls. I thank Reps. 
William Timmons, Jamie Raskin, and Ed Case for cosponsoring my 
amendment and bill, and I thank Senators Jacky Rosen and John Cornyn 
for their leadership on this bill in the Senate.
  Amendment No. 77 creates a new Section 3 that directs the President 
to ensure that the provisions of the America COMPETES Act which are 
aimed at countering the influence of the Chinese Communist Party are 
implemented in a manner that does not result in discrimination against 
people of Asian descent. I thank Rep. Judy Chu, Chairwoman of

[[Page H828]]

the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus, for partnering with me 
on this highly important amendment.
  The legislation before us is critical for our national security and 
economic competitiveness, and I urge my colleagues to support the 
legislation.

                   LICIT TRADE.

       (a) In General.--To facilitate a secure path of licit 
     market activity to support the legitimate economy and the 
     humanitarian needs to every day Afghans, the Secretary of the 
     Treasury and the Secretary of State, in consultation with the 
     heads of other Federal agencies as appropriate, shall jointly 
     conduct a study on the management of sanctions imposed

     is a signature effort to invest in the next generation of 
     African leaders;
       (2) Africa is a continent of strategic importance and it is 
     vital for the United States to support strong and enduring 
     partnerships with the next generation of African leaders;
       (3) the United States Government should prioritize 
     investments to build the capacity of emerging young African

     and governance, and counter extremism, and should be an area 
     of focus for United States outreach on the African continent; 
     and
       (5) the Secretary of State should--
       (A) increase the number of fellows from Africa 
     participating in the Mandela Washington Fellowship above the 
     estimated 700 fellows who participated during fiscal year 
     2021; and
       (B) identify additional ways to connect YALI alumni to 
     United States public and private resources and institutions.

     SEC. 30124. TASK FORCE TO COUNTER CHINA'S ECONOMIC COERCION.

       (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the People's Republic of China's (PRC) increasing use 
     of economic coercion against foreign governments, companies, 
     organizations, other entities, and individuals requires that 
     the United States better understand these measures in order 
     to devise a comprehensive, effective, and multilateral 
     response;
       (2) the private sector is a crucial partner in helping the 
     United States Government understand the PRC's coercive 
     economic measures and hold the PRC accountable, and that 
     additional business transparency would help the United States 
     Government and private sector stakeholders conduct early 
     assessments of potential pressure points and vulnerabilities; 
     and
       (3) PRC coercive economic measures create pressures for the 
     private sector to behave in ways antithetical to United 
     States national interests and competitiveness.
       (b) Establishment of Task Force.--Not later than 180 days 
     after the date of the enactment of this Act, the President

       (I) the costs of such measures on United States businesses

       (III) the impacts such measures have had on United States 
     national interests; and

       (ii) facilitating coordination among Federal departments 
     and agencies when responding to such measures as well as 
     proactively deterring such economic coercion; including by 
     clarifying the roles for departments and agencies identified 
     in subsection (d) in implementing the strategy;
       (B) consult with United States allies and partners on the 
     feasibility and desirability of collectively identifying, 
     assessing, and responding to PRC coercive economic measures, 
     as well as actions that could be taken to expand coordination 
     with the goal of ensuring a consistent, coherent, and 
     collective response to such measures and establishing long-
     term deterrence to such measures;
       (C) effectively engage the United States private sector, 
     particularly sectors, groups, or other entities that are

     concerns related to such measures; and

DIVISION M--SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING NEGATIVE PERCEPTION OF PERSONS 
             OF ASIAN ANCESTRY AND FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT

     SEC. 120001. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING NEGATIVE PERCEPTION 
                   OF PERSONS OF ASIAN ANCESTRY AND FEDERAL LAW 
                   ENFORCEMENT.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) there are notable instances where certain Federal law 
     enforcement officials and institutions have contributed 
     towards a negative growing perception that being of Asian 
     ancestry or having ties to China render an individual more 
     suspect of espionage and that such perceptions have created a 
     culture of fear that has negatively impacted the Asian 
     immigrant and Asian American community;
       (2) national policy should guard against unjustly targeting 
     scientists, academics, and institutional faculty members on 
     the basis of Chinese ethnicity or familial background, which 
     risks irreparable damage to careers, reputations, and lives,

                  TITLE XII--CLIMATE CHANGE EDUCATION

     SEC. 71201. FINDINGS.

       Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The evidence for human-induced climate change is 
     overwhelming and undeniable.
       (2) Atmospheric carbon can be significantly reduced through 
     conservation, by shifting to renewable energy sources such as 
     solar, wind, tidal, and geothermal, and by increasing the 
     efficiency of buildings, including domiciles, and 
     transportation.
       (3) Providing clear information about climate change, in a 
     variety of forms, can remove the fear and the sense of 
     helplessness, and encourage individuals and communities to 
     take action.
       (4) Implementation of measures that promote energy 
     efficiency, conservation, and renewable energy will greatly 
     reduce human impact on the environment.
       (5) Informing people of new technologies and programs as 
     they become available will ensure maximum understanding and 
     maximum effect of those measures.
       (6) More than 3,000,000 students graduate from high schools 
     and colleges in the United States each year, armed with 
     attitudes, skills, and knowledge about the climate that 
     inform their actions.
       (7) The effect on the climate, positive or negative, of 
     each of those 3,000,000 students lasts beyond a lifetime.
       (8) Those students need to be prepared to implement changes 
     in professional and personal practices, to support and help 
     develop new technology and policy, and to address the coming 
     social and economic challenges and opportunities arising from 
     a changing climate.
       (9) It has been demonstrated that the people of the United 
     States overwhelmingly support teaching students about the 
     causes, consequences, and potential solutions to climate 
     change in all 50 States and more than 3,000 counties across 
     the United States.
       (10) Only 30 percent of middle school and 45 percent of 
     high school science teachers understand the extent of the 
     scientific consensus on climate change.

     SEC. 30219H. NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE ESTIMATE ON ESCALATION AND 
                   DE-ESCALATION OF GRAY ZONE ACTIVITIES IN GREAT 
                   POWER COMPETITION.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) The conventional power of the United States has driven 
     foreign adversaries to a level of competition that does not 
     always depend on military confrontation with the United 
     States.
       (2) Rather than challenging the United States in a manner 
     that could provoke a kinetic military response, foreign 
     adversaries of the United States have turned to carrying out 
     gray zone activities to advance the interests of such 
     adversaries, weaken the power of the United States, and erode 
     the norms that underpin the United States-led international 
     order.
       (3) Gray zone activity falls on a spectrum of attribution 
     and deniability that ranges from covert adversary operations, 
     to detectible covert adversary operations, to unattributable 
     adversary operations, to deniable adversary operations, to 
     open adversary operations.
       (4) To adequately address such a shift to gray zone 
     activity, the United States must understand what actions tend 
     to either escalate or de-escalate such activity by our 
     adversaries.
       (5) The laws, principles, and values of the United States 
     are strategic advantages in great power competition with 
     authoritarian foreign adversaries that carry out gray zone 
     activities, because such laws, principles, and values 
     increase the appeal of the governance model of the United 
     States, and the United States-led international order, to 
     states and peoples around the world.
       (6) The international security environment has demonstrated 
     numerous examples of gray zone activities carried out by 
     foreign adversaries, including the following activities of 
     foreign adversaries:
       (A) Information operations, such as efforts by Russia to 
     influence the 2020 United States Federal elections (as 
     described in the March 15, 2021, intelligence community 
     assessment of the Office of the Director of National 
     Intelligence made publicly available on March 15, 2021).
       (B) Adversary political coercion operations, such as the 
     wielding of energy by Russia, particularly in the context of 
     Ukrainian gas pipelines, to coerce its neighbors into 
     compliance with its policies.
       (C) Cyber operations, such as the use by China of cyber 
     tools to conduct industrial espionage.
       (D) Provision of support to proxy forces, such as the 
     support provided by Iran to Hezbollah and Shia militia 
     groups.
       (E) Provocation by armed forces controlled by the 
     government of the foreign adversary through measures that do 
     not rise to the level of an armed attack, such as the use of 
     the China Coast Guard and maritime militia by China to harass 
     the fishing vessels of other countries in the South China 
     Sea.

[[Page H848]]

       (F) Alleged uses of lethal force on foreign soil, such as 
     the 2018 attempts by Russia to poison Sergei Skripal in 
     London.
       (G) The potential use by an adversary of technology that 
     causes anomalous health incidents among United States 
     Government personnel.
       (b) National Intelligence Estimate.--
       (1) Requirement.--The Director of National Intelligence, 
     acting through the National Intelligence Council, shall 
     produce a National Intelligence Estimate on how foreign 
     adversaries use gray zone activities to advance interests, 
     what responses by the United States (or the allies or 
     partners of the United States) would tend to result in the 
     escalation or de-escalation of such gray zone activities by 
     foreign adversaries, and any opportunities for the United 
     States to minimize the extent to which foreign adversaries 
     use gray zone activities in furtherance of great power 
     competition.
       (2) Matters included.--To the extent determined appropriate 
     by the National Intelligence Council, the National 
     Intelligence Estimate produced under paragraph (1) may 
     include an assessment of the following topics:
       (A) Any potential or actual lethal or harmful gray zone 
     activities carried out against the United States by foreign 
     adversaries, including against United States Government 
     employees and United States persons, whether located within 
     or outside of the United States.
       (B) To the extent such activities have occurred, or are 
     predicted to occur--
       (i) opportunities to reduce or deter any such activities; 
     and
       (ii) any actions of the United States Government that would 
     tend to result in the escalation or de-escalation of such 
     activities.
       (C) Any incidents in which foreign adversaries could have 
     used, but ultimately did not use, gray zone activities to 
     advance the interests of such adversaries, including an 
     assessment as to why the foreign adversary ultimately did not 
     use gray zone activities.
       (D) The effect of lowering the United States Government 
     threshold for the public attribution of detectible covert 
     adversary operations, unattributable adversary operations, 
     and deniable adversary operations.
       (E) The effect of lowering the United States Government 
     threshold for responding to detectible covert adversary 
     operations, unattributable adversary operations, and deniable 
     adversary operations.
       (F) The extent to which the governments of foreign 
     adversaries exercise control over any proxies or parastate 
     actors used by such governments in carrying out gray zone 
     activities.
       (G) The extent to which gray zone activities carried out by 
     foreign adversaries affect the private sector of the United 
     States.
       (H) The international norms that provide the greatest 
     deterrence to gray zone activities carried out by foreign 
     adversaries, and opportunities for strengthening those norms.
       (I) The effect, if any, of the strengthening of democratic 
     governance abroad on the resilience of United States allies 
     and partners to gray zone activities.
       (J) Opportunities to strengthen the resilience of United 
     States allies and partners to gray zone activities, and 
     associated tactics, carried out by foreign adversaries.
       (K) Opportunities for the United States to improve the 
     detection of, and early warning for, such activities and 
     tactics.
       (L) Opportunities for the United States to galvanize 
     international support in responding to such activities and 
     tactics.
       (3) Submission to congress.--
       (A) Submission.--Not later than 1 year after the date of 
     the enactment of this Act, the Director shall submit to the

     SEC. __ SENSE OF CONGRESS CONDEMNING ANTI-ASIAN RACISM AND 
                   DISCRIMINATION.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, crimes and 
     discrimination against Asians and those of Asian descent have 
     risen dramatically worldwide. In May 2020, United Nations 
     Secretary General Antonio Guterres said ``the pandemic 
     continues to unleash a tsunami of hate and xenophobia, 
     scapegoating and scare-mongering'' and urged governments to 
     ``act now to strengthen the immunity of our societies against 
     the virus of hate''.
       (2) Over 2 million Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders 
     are working on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic in 
     healthcare, law enforcement, first responders, 
     transportation, supermarkets, and other service industries. 
     AAPI workers also make up a large share--between 6 percent 
     and 12 percent based on sector--of the bio medical field.
       (3) The United States Census Bureau notes that Americans of 
     Asian descent made up 7.2 percent of the population according 
     to the 2020 decennial census, and that Asian Americans are 
     the fastest-growing racial group in the United States, 
     projected to represent 14 percent of the United States 
     population by 2065.
       (4) Since January 2020, there has been a dramatic increase 
     in reports of hate crimes and incidents against those of 
     Asian descent;
       (5) According to reports, there are over 10,000 reported 
     cases of anti-Asian American hate incidents and 
     discrimination related to COVID-19 between March 19, 2020 and 
     September 30, 2021;
       (6) Local police departments are reporting an exponential 
     increase in anti-Asian hate incidents and crimes. The New 
     York Police Department reported a 343 percent spike in anti-
     Asian crime in 2021 from 2020, and the San Francisco Police 
     Department reported anti-AAPI hate crimes increased by 567 
     percent from 2020 to 2021;
       (7) Multiple incidents of anti-Asian violence occurred 
     since March 2020, including a woman wearing a mask who was 
     kicked and punched at a New York City subway station, two 
     children and two adults were stabbed at a wholesale grocery 
     store in Midland, Texas, a couple was assaulted and robbed by 
     a group of attackers in Philadelphia, and a 16-year-old boy 
     was sent to the hospital after being attacked by bullies in 
     Los Angeles, California;
       (8) Anti-Asian discrimination and hate since the start of 
     the COVID-19 outbreak has continued throughout the pandemic;
       (9) Since the start of 2021, there has been a surge in 
     anti-Asian attacks targeting predominately elderly Asian 
     Americans;
       (10) On January 30, 2021, an 84-year-old Thai man, Vicha 
     Ratanapakdee, died from injuries sustained from an unprovoked 
     assault while on his routine morning walk in San Francisco, 
     California;
       (11) In January 2021, a series of attacks occurred in 
     Oakland's Chinatown targeting Asian American seniors, the 
     victims included a 91-year-old man, a 60-year-old man, and a 
     55-year-old woman, who were all violently shoved to the 
     ground in three separate incidents;
       (12) In February 2021, victims of anti-Asian violence 
     included a 61-year-old Filipino man who was attacked and 
     slashed across his face on a New York City subway, a Filipino 
     woman in her 80s who was punched in an unprovoked attack 
     while riding a trolley in San Diego, and a 52-year-old Asian 
     woman who was attacked and forcefully shoved while waiting in 
     line outside of a bakery in Flushing, New York;
       (13) In December 2021, a 61-year-old Chinese man, Yao Pan 
     Ma, died from injuries sustained from an unprovoked assault 
     in April of 2021 in New York City;
       (14) Anti-Asian racism has also resulted in Asian American 
     businesses being targeted for vandalism;
       (15) There are approximately 2 million Asian American-owned 
     businesses that generate over $700 billion in annual revenue 
     and employ millions of workers;
       (16) More than 1,900,000 Asian American and Pacific 
     Islander older adults, particularly those older adults who 
     are recent immigrants or have limited English proficiency, 
     may face even greater challenges in dealing with the COVID-19 
     pandemic, including discrimination, economic insecurity, and 
     language isolation;
       (17) The World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers 
     for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recognize that 
     naming COVID-19 by its geographic location or linking it to a 
     specific ethnicity perpetuates stigma;
       (18) In 2015, the WHO issued guidance calling on media 
     outlets, scientists, and national authorities to avoid naming 
     infectious diseases for locations to avoid stigmatizing 
     groups of people;
       (19) On February 27, 2020, the Secretary of Health and 
     Human Services stated, ``ethnicity is not what causes the 
     novel coronavirus'' and that it is inappropriate and 
     inaccurate to call COVID-19 the ``Chinese virus'';
       (20) On February 28, 2020, Dr. Mitch Wolfe, the Chief 
     Medical Officer of the CDC, said, ``Stigma is the enemy of 
     public health'';
       (21) On March 10, 2020, Dr. Robert Redfield, the Director 
     of the CDC, testified that use of the term ``Chinese 
     coronavirus'' is wrong and inappropriate;
       (22) On January 26, 2021, President Biden issued a 
     Presidential Memorandum ``Condemning and Combating Racism, 
     Xenophobia, and Intolerance Against Asian Americans and 
     Pacific Islanders in the United States''.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress as 
     follows:
       (1) The use of anti-Asian terminology and rhetoric related 
     to COVID-19, such as the ``Chinese Virus'', ``Wuhan Virus'', 
     and ``Kung-flu'', has perpetuated anti-Asian stigma.
       (2) The use of anti-Asian rhetoric has resulted in Asian 
     Americans being harassed, assaulted, and scapegoated for the 
     COVID-19 pandemic.
       (3) The reprehensible attacks on people of Asian descent 
     and the concerning increase in anti-Asian sentiment and 
     racism in the United States and around the world have no 
     place in a peaceful, civilized, and tolerant world.
       (4) The United States is a diverse country with a proud 
     tradition of immigration, and the strength and vibrancy of 
     the United States is enhanced by the diverse ethnic 
     backgrounds and tolerance of its citizens, including Asian 
     Americans and Pacific Islanders.
       (5) The United States Government should encourage foreign 
     governments to use the official and scientific names for the 
     COVID-19 pandemic, as recommended by the World Health 
     Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and 
     Prevention.
       (6) The United States Government and other governments 
     around the world must actively oppose racism and intolerance, 
     and use all available and appropriate tools to combat the 
     spread of anti-Asian racism and discrimination.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 900, the 
gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. Johnson) and the gentleman from Texas (Mr. 
Babin) each will control 10 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Texas.
  Ms. JOHNSON of Texas. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I 
may consume.
  We have examined all of the amendments. I support them all, and I 
reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. BABIN. Madam Speaker, this bloc of amendments includes nearly 
every single Democrat amendment that was made in order by the Rules 
Committee. I can't pretend to know why these particular amendments were 
made in order because that decision was made behind closed doors rather 
than in a bipartisan manner.
  I will say that the sheer number of amendments being considered en 
bloc shows that even Members of the Speaker's own party didn't have the 
chance to contribute to the underlying bill until now.
  I will also say that, unfortunately, most of these provisions take a 
bad bill and simply make it worse. These amendments add studies on 
declining salmon populations, direct USDA to research fake meat, and 
establish an entirely new institute to focus on zero-emission 
locomotives.
  Whether or not any of these are worthy policies, I think we can all 
agree that they do not belong in a legislative package meant to address 
the threat of the Chinese Communist Party and to make America more 
competitive globally.
  America's economic success for generations has been driven by our 
investment in transformational basic research. The Chinese Communist 
Party wants to copy that success and take over as the global leader in 
science and technology. They are investing more money in R&D than we 
are and graduating many more STEM professionals than we are as well.
  They have a laser focus on surpassing the United States and reaping 
the economic and national defense benefits that come with technological 
superiority.
  They aren't wasting time on fake meat and trains, and we should not 
be either.
  I urge my colleagues to oppose these amendments, and I yield back the 
balance of my time.
  Ms. JOHNSON of Texas. Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my 
time.
  Mr. SHERMAN. Madam Speaker, I include in the Record the accompanying 
three letters from Americans for Financial Reform, the Consumer 
Federation of America, and Public Citizen, which express support for my 
amendment, No. 573, which was included in En Bloc amendment No. 1 to 
H.R. 4521.

                                             Financial Reform,

                                                 February 2, 2022.
       Dear Members of the Committee: Americans for Financial 
     Reform support Chairman Sherman's amendments to amend H.R. 
     4521, the America COMPETES Act.
       We support Representative Sherman's amendments that would 
     close some of the gaps that allow covered companies to escape 
     from financial reporting requirements with the Securities and 
     Exchange Commission through exemptions in Regulation D, 
     Regulation S, and Rule 144A. This would increase transparency 
     and accountability.
       The amendment would require identification of:
       Issuer
       Issuer's place of incorporation
       Amount of issuance
       Principal beneficiaries of issuer
       Use of proceeds, including each country and industry where 
     proceeds are invested.
           Sincerely,
     Americans for Financial Reform.

                               Consumer Federation of America,

                                                 February 2, 2022.
     Re Support for Amendment #573 to H.R. 4521.

     Hon. Brad Sherman,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Congressman Sherman: On behalf of the Consumer 
     Federation of America (CFA), I am writing to express support 
     for your amendment to H.R. 4521, the America COMPETES Act of 
     2022. By requiring certain privately held issuers to disclose 
     basic information to the U.S. Securities and Exchange 
     Commission (SEC), your amendment will promote additional 
     transparency in the ``private placement'' market and enhance 
     investor protection.
       CFA has long been concerned about the rapid expansion and 
     relative opacity of the private securities markets. Under the 
     current exempt offering framework, foreign and domestic 
     issuers can access virtually unlimited amounts of private 
     capital without ever having to register with the SEC or 
     engage in ongoing reporting under the Securities Exchange Act 
     of 1934. Moreover, many other stakeholders, including state 
     securities regulators, SEC Commissioners, leading academics 
     and practitioners, and others--have echoed CFA's concerns in 
     this regard.
       In December of 2020, Congress passed the Holding Foreign 
     Companies Accountable Act, which requires that any U.S. 
     exchange-listed foreign company be delisted if, for three 
     consecutive years, the PCAOB is unable to inspect the primary 
     auditor of that company. As hearings held by the House 
     Financial Services Subcommittee on Investor Protection, 
     Entrepreneurship and Capital Markets have established, in the 
     event that foreign issuers--and especially issuers based in 
     the People's Republic of China (PRC), are prevented from 
     listing on U.S. securities exchanges pursuant to the Holding 
     Foreign Companies Accountable Act, it is possible and indeed 
     likely that such issuers may attempt to utilize the exempt 
     offering framework as a means to continue to raise large 
     amounts of capital from U.S. investors. Your amendment 
     anticipates this possibility and takes important steps to 
     prevent it.
       In summary, your amendment will enact important reforms to 
     the exempt offering framework to enhance transparency for the 
     investing public with respect to privately issued securities 
     sold by foreign issuers. Such reforms are commendable in-and-
     of themselves. Your amendment would also compliment the 
     Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act by making it more 
     difficult for foreign issuers to ignore its requirements 
     while continuing to raise capital from U.S. investors. For 
     those reasons, CFA is pleased to support your amendment.
       Thank you for your attention to CFA's views. Please do not 
     hesitate to contact me should you have any questions.
           Sincerely,

                                                  Dylan Bruce,

                                       Financial Services Counsel,
                                   Consumer Federation of America.

                                  ____
                                               Public Citizen,

                                 Washington, DC, February 2, 2022.
     Hon. Nancy Pelosi,
     Speaker, House of Representatives,
     Washington DC.
       Dear Speaker Pelosi: On behalf of more than 500,000 members 
     and supporters of Public Citizen, we support an amendment 
     sponsored by Rep. Brad Sherman (D-Calif) to the ``America 
     COMPETES Act'' regarding disclosure requirements of certain 
     securities transactions, including those involving Chinese 
     corporations.
       Currently, foreign companies that wish to raise capital in 
     American securities markets may do so through a number of 
     exemptions (Rule 506(b), Regulation S, or Rule 144a) that 
     allow them to avoid basic disclosures that apply to standard 
     securities. In fact, more than 60 percent of capital raised 
     in US securities markets is generated under one of these 
     exemptions, according to a report from the Securities and 
     Exchange Commission (SEC). As a matter of national security 
     and basic investor protection, we believe that improved 
     disclosure is warranted.
       The Sherman Amendment would require firms using one of 
     these exemptions to disclose: the place of incorporation of 
     the issuer; the amount of capital raised; the principal 
     beneficial owners; the intended use of the proceeds; each 
     country in which the issuer intends to invest the proceeds; 
     and each industry in which the issuer intends to invest such 
     proceeds. This amendment will apply to transactions of more 
     than $25 million, or those the aggregate to more than $50 
     million in a one-year period. Finally, the SEC must report to 
     the House Financial Services Committee all those transactions 
     that relate either to a firm incorporated in the People's 
     Republic of China or maintains significant entities within 
     China that are consolidated in the parent company.
       We believe these additional disclosures will be valuable to 
     investors as well as those responsible for national security 
     to better understand how American capital is deployed.
       For questions, please contact Bartlett Naylor.
           Sincerely,
                                                   Public Citizen.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution Number 900, the 
previous question is ordered on the amendments en bloc offered by the 
gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. Johnson).

       Add at the end of title III of division I the following:

     SEC. 80306. FOREIGN CORRUPTION ACCOUNTABILITY.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) When public officials and their allies use the 
     mechanisms of government to engage in extortion or bribery, 
     they impoverish their countries' economic health and harm 
     citizens.
       (2) By empowering the United States Government to hold to 
     account foreign public officials and their associates who 
     engage in extortion or bribery, the United States can deter 
     malfeasance and ultimately serve the citizens of fragile 
     countries suffocated by corrupt bureaucracies.
       (3) The Special Inspector General for Afghan 
     Reconstruction's 2016 report ``Corruption in Conflict: 
     Lessons from the U.S. Experience in Afghanistan'' included 
     the recommendation, ``Congress should consider enacting 
     legislation that authorizes sanctions against foreign 
     government officials or their associates who engage in 
     corruption.''.
       (b) Authorization of Imposition of Sanctions.--

     amendment no. 95 offered by miss gonzalez-colon of puerto rico

       Page 407, after line 25, insert the following:

     SEC. 10310. RECOGNITION OF THE ARECIBO OBSERVATORY.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) The Department of Defense began developing the Arecibo 
     Observatory located in Barrio Esperanza, Arecibo, Puerto 
     Rico, during the 1950s, and its characteristic instrument, a 
     large radio telescope of 305 meters in diameter was completed 
     in 1963.
       (2) The facility was later owned by the National Science 
     Foundation, and supported by the National Aeronautics and 
     Space Administration and various university partners.
       (3) The Arecibo Observatory's 305-meter fixed spherical 
     radio telescope, was the world's largest single-dish radio 
     telescope until the Five-Hundred-Meter Aperture Spherical 
     Radio Telescope located in Gizhou, China, began observing in 
     2016.
       (4) The 305-meter radio telescope made unparalleled 
     contributions to the fields of radio astronomy, planetary, 
     and atmospheric sciences, and played a role in inspiring 
     thousands of students in Puerto Rico, the Nation, and the 
     world to pursue careers in STEM fields through the Arecibo 
     Observatory Education and Public Outreach Programs.
       (5) The radio telescope significantly advanced the field of 
     radio astronomy, including the first indirect detection of 
     gravitational waves, the first detection of extrasolar 
     planets, innumerable contributions to the field of time 
     domain astronomy and the study of the interstellar medium, 
     and played a key role in the search for extraterrestrial 
     intelligence.
       (6) The Arecibo Observatory had the best planetary radar 
     system in the world, used by the National Aeronautics and 
     Space Administration for near-Earth object detection and was 
     an essential part of the agency's planetary defense program.
       (7) The planetary radar at the Arecibo Observatory has 
     contributed fundamentally and significantly to the knowledge 
     of the solar system.
       (8) The Arecibo Observatory's Incoherent Scatter Radar and 
     supporting facilities have provided fundamental understanding 
     of the ionosphere and upper atmosphere, and the interface 
     between the atmosphere and space that protects the planet 
     from solar wind, meteors, and other potential threats.

[[Page H878]]

       (9) December 1, 2021, marks the 1-year anniversary of the 
     uncontrolled collapse sustained by the radio telescope after 
     a series of cable failures in tower 4.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     the Congress--
       (1) acknowledges the loss of the Arecibo Observatory's 
     radio telescope due to its collapse and its implications for 
     the loss of a unique world-class multidisciplinary science 
     facility which conducted research in the areas of space and 
     atmospheric sciences, radar astronomy and planetary sciences, 
     astronomy, and astrophysics;
       (2) acknowledges that the uncontrolled collapse of the 305-
     meter radio telescope represents a loss of astronomical 
     observation capabilities, scientific research and 
     development, planetary defense capabilities, and applied 
     science capabilities for the United States;
       (3) recognizes the rich scientific, educational, and 
     economic benefits that the Arecibo Telescope has made to the 
     people of Puerto Rico, the Nation, and the world;
       (4) recognizes the work and contributions made by the 
     thousands of dedicated staff who have supported the Arecibo 
     Observatory for close to 6 decades;
       (5) commends the National Science Foundation for convening 
     a virtual workshop in June 2021, to explore ideas for future 
     scientific and educational activities at the Arecibo 
     Observatory; and
       (6) encourages the National Science Foundation, the 
     National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and other 
     agencies to explore opportunities for strengthening and 
     expanding the role of the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico 
     through education, outreach, and diversity programs, and 
     future research capabilities and technology at the site.

       (3) Hemp-related legitimate business.--The term ``hemp-
     related legitimate business'' means a manufacturer, producer, 
     or any person or company that--
       (A) engages in any activity described in subparagraph (B) 
     in conformity with the Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018

     SEC. 61112. BANKING SERVICES FOR HEMP-RELATED LEGITIMATE 
                   BUSINESSES AND HEMP-RELATED SERVICE PROVIDERS.

       (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 
     ``marihuana'' under the Controlled Substances Act;
       (2) despite the legalization of hemp, some hemp businesses 
     (including producers, manufacturers, and retailers) continue 
     to have difficulty gaining access to banking products and 
     services; and
       (3) businesses involved in the sale of hemp-derived CBD 
     products are particularly affected, due to confusion about 
     the legal status of such products.
       (b) Federal Banking Regulators' Hemp Banking Guidance.--Not 
     later than the end of the 90-day period beginning on the date 
     of enactment of this Act, the Federal banking regulators

     regarding the provision of financial services to hemp-related

     impact, and that interventions will need to be tailored to 
     the situation to--
       (1) pursuant to section 30704, close wildlife markets and 
     prevent associated commercial trade in live wildlife, placing 
     a priority focus on countries with significant markets for 
     live wildlife for human consumption, high-volume commercial 
     trade and associated markets, trade in and across urban 
     centers, and trade for luxury consumption or where there is 
     no dietary necessity--
       (A) through existing treaties, conventions, and agreements;
       (B) by amending existing protocols or agreements;
       (C) by pursuing new protocols; or
       (D) by other means of international coordination;

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 900, the 
gentlewoman from Oregon (Ms. Bonamici) and the gentleman from Texas 
(Mr. Babin) each will control 10 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Oregon.
  Ms. BONAMICI. Madam Speaker, I yield myself 1 minute.
  Madam Speaker, this is a package of en bloc amendments that are 
bipartisan. It includes the amendment that I offered with 
Representative Gonzalez-Colon and Representative Posey for the Federal 
Ocean Acidification Research and Monitoring Act, which is very 
important to address ocean acidification, and also the amendment I 
offered with Mr. Posey to create an interagency working group on blue 
carbon led by NOAA to oversee the development of a national map of blue 
carbon ecosystems.
  This package of amendments will improve the very important America 
COMPETES Act, and I urge its passage.
  Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. BABIN. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  This bloc of amendments we are now considering includes 51 bipartisan 
provisions that were handpicked by the Rules Committee and Democrat 
leadership out of more than 600 amendments that Members submitted for 
consideration.
  I appreciate these Members taking a page out of the Science, Space, 
and Technology Committee's playbook and working across the aisle to try 
to move these provisions forward.

                              {time}  1730

  If the entire bill had been done in this way, we would certainly have 
a more focused and effective legislation that could have garnered 
bipartisan support.
  This block of amendments includes several provisions that have gone 
through the proper channels of being marked up and reported out of the 
committee.
  Unfortunately, it also includes provisions that have not gone through 
regular order. Members weren't given the opportunity to review, 
improve, and vote on these policies in committee. Having a Democrat and 
Republican cosponsor an amendment does not mean they are fully vetted 
or bipartisan either.
  But by tossing together a massive partisan package, the Speaker has 
made it clear that she does not value regular order. And by ignoring 
regular order, she has limited Member input. So Members feel the need 
to take advantage of any opportunity to move their priorities, even if 
they have nothing to do with increasing our competitiveness with China.
  Much like the expansive jurisdictional reach of this legislation, 
this block of amendments is simply a smorgasbord of policies, and they 
would best be considered individually rather than en bloc.
  I will leave it to the amendment sponsors to explain why Members 
should support this en bloc.
  Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. BONAMICI. Madam Speaker, we have no further speakers, but I want 
to address the package of en bloc amendments.
  Again, these amendments will improve the America COMPETES Act, which 
is so important for United States leadership and to incentivize and 
ramp up U.S. manufacturing. It is a very important bill, strengthened 
by this en bloc amendment, and I urge its passage.
  Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. BABIN. Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Ms. BONAMICI. Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 900, the 
previous question is ordered on the amendments en bloc offered by the 
gentlewoman from Oregon (Ms. Bonamici).
  The question is on the amendments en bloc.
  The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 900, the 
gentlewoman from California (Ms. Lofgren) and the gentleman from Texas 
(Mr. Babin) each will control 10 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from California.
  Ms. LOFGREN. Madam Speaker, I yield myself 1 minute.
  Madam Speaker, these amendments, although I am sure offered in good 
faith, diminish the value in the underlying bill. Not only the 
underlying bill, but the bipartisan amendments just adopted or that we 
will adopt tomorrow or Friday.
  Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to oppose these amendments, and I 
reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. BABIN. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Madam Speaker, this block of amendments includes nearly every single 
Republican amendment that was made in order by the Committee on Rules.
  Out of more than 600 amendments submitted to the Committee on Rules, 
only 37 Republican amendments were made in order. There is no rhyme or 
reason to which amendments were accepted and which were rejected. I 
want to be very, very clear, that I do not support the underlying 
legislation here. But that said, the amendments being considered in 
this block were the only chance that most Republican Members have had 
to have any impact at all on this massive, nearly 3,000-page bill.
  Because so few committees held markup or bipartisan discussions in 
their provisions in this bill, there have been very few opportunities 
to review or revise this legislation. Among this block of amendments 
were safeguards, improvements, and cost-saving measures.
  My colleagues, Representatives Garcia and Burgess, offered an 
amendment that would prohibit the massive climate change provisions in 
this bill from taking effect until the Secretary of Energy can certify 
that they will not reduce our energy independence.
  Representative Grothman's amendment that would strike the $8 billion 
in taxpayer funds from being given to a U.N. climate fund--a slush 
fund, if you will--the same fund that has given the Chinese Communist 
Party already $100 million. And Representative Bice's amendment would 
demand accountability from the administration before allocating any 
funding to this fund.
  Representatives Gimenez and Burgess would require the Secretary of 
Energy to ensure that no provisions in

[[Page H899]]

this bill will raise energy costs for Americans.
  Madam Speaker, unfortunately, these amendments improve on the 
underlying legislation but cannot ultimately fix this legislation. So 
while I urge my colleagues to vote for these amendments, I remain 
opposed to this sprawling partisan bill.
  Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. LOFGREN. Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. BABIN. Madam Speaker, we have no further speakers, and I yield 
back the balance of my time.
  Ms. LOFGREN. Madam Speaker, once again, I urge opposition to this en 
bloc amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time.
  Ms. CHENEY. Madam Speaker, I rise in support of my Amendment No. 45 
that would prohibit the Secretary of the Interior from altering the 
designation of uranium as a critical mineral until completing a report 
assessing the effects of a loss of domestic uranium production. The 
Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Secretaries of Energy 
and Commerce, is to conduct the assessment of the national security 
impact of removing uranium from the list and submit a follow-up report. 
The U.S. Geological Survey, which updates the critical minerals list 
every three years, published its revised methodology in May noting that 
``Fuel minerals, including uranium, were explicitly excluded from 
consideration in this analysis.'' Removing uranium from this list, as 
the Biden Administration is proposing, is another effort to cave to the 
whims of environmental groups. The impact of this is not exclusive to 
national security. Domestic uranium production has almost completely 
idled and foreign state-owned entities have increasingly become the 
source of uranium for our reactors. Keeping it as a resource on the 
list will go a long way to restoring and securing American uranium 
production.
  As we produce less energy at home, our national security enterprise 
is forced into further reliance on our adversaries for critical 
resources, emboldening them and weakening our global standing as they 
attempt to undermine our interests. The United States requires U.S.-
origin uranium and nuclear technologies for use in the production of 
uranium-based products for U.S. defense systems, critical to national 
defense for the purpose of nuclear weapons and the naval fleet, 
providing propulsion for 11 aircraft carriers and 70 submarines. The 
Chinese are buying up mining operations across the globe. Removing 
uranium from the critical minerals list would be a dangerous and 
misguided decision as it is a vital component to both our national 
security and energy security. As China and Russia utilize their state-
owned enterprises for energy dominance, we must endeavor to leverage 
our own resources for geopolitical security. This bill is fundamentally 
flawed and will not be more competitive or secure. However, the 
inclusion of this amendment would mark a sincere step in addressing 
diverse challenges to our national security. I urge adoption of my 
amendment and the Republican amendments en bloc.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 900, the 
previous question is ordered on the amendments en bloc offered by the 
gentlewoman from California (Ms. Lofgren).
  The question is on the amendments en bloc.
  The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that 
the noes appeared to have it.
  Mr. CLYDE. 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.
  Pursuant to clause 1(c) of rule XIX further consideration of H.R. 
4521 is postponed.
