  The SPEAKER pro tempore. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 
20 printed in part B of House Report 117-253.
  Ms. ROSS. Madam Speaker, I have an amendment at the desk.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       Page 67, after line 10, insert the following:
       (1) Initial report.--Not later than one year after the date 
     of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall 
     submit to Congress a report regarding the following:
       (A) Sources of PFAS on military installations other than 
     AFFF.
       (B) Any recommendation of the Secretary regarding whether 
     to expand eligibility for the registry to individuals exposed 
     to sources of PFAS described in subparagraph (A).

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 950, the 
gentlewoman from North Carolina (Ms. Ross) and a Member opposed each 
will control 5 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from North Carolina.
  Ms. ROSS. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Madam Speaker, I rise today to urge support for my amendment, along 
with my colleague from North Carolina, Representative Rouzer.
  This amendment will require the Department of Defense to study 
additional non-fire extinguishing agent sources of toxic PFAS, known as 
forever chemicals on military installations.
  Our amendment also requires the Department of Defense to make a 
recommendation to Congress on expanding the eligibility for the VA's 
registry of individuals exposed to PFAS during their service.
  While fire extinguishing agents are a common source of servicemember 
exposure to forever chemicals, as the Speaker knows, PFAS toxins are 
ever present on military bases from other sources.
  Studies have shown that these dangerous toxicants are ubiquitous in 
the kinds of ready-made meal packages, textiles, and cookware used on 
military installations. Use of these products has exposed 
servicemembers and veterans to PFAS, which have been proven to cause 
cancer, liver damage, birth defects, and other troubling medical 
conditions.
  We must ensure that we fully understand the scope of PFAS exposure on 
military bases and expand our parameters for veteran eligibility for 
medical care accordingly. Doing so will give veterans exposed to these 
toxins the opportunity to receive care for the conditions they develop 
as a result of their service in uniform.
  This amendment not only empowers and protects veterans, but it 
solicits a critically important study from the DOD to better understand 
the presence of PFAS on military installations and prevent exposure in 
the future.
  In alignment with the mission of the Honoring our PACT Act, this 
amendment upholds our responsibility to prevent and mitigate the health 
consequences of exposure to toxic substances.
  Madam Speaker, I thank Chairman Takano for his outstanding leadership 
in bringing this important legislation to the floor. I also thank 
Representative Rouzer from North Carolina for joining me in offering 
this amendment.
  Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS. Madam Speaker, I claim time in opposition, 
although I am not opposed.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the gentlewoman from Iowa 
is recognized for 5 minutes.
  There was no objection.
  Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS. Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. ROSS. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
California (Mr. Takano), the chairman of the Veterans' Affairs 
Committee.
  Mr. TAKANO. Madam Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman for yielding, and 
I am pleased to support this amendment by the gentlewoman and 
Congressman Rouzer.
  It will require DOD to submit to Congress a report on sources of PFAS 
on military installations other than aqueous film-forming foam and 
providing recommendations regarding whether to expand registry 
eligibility to individuals exposed to PFAS from other sources.
  The PFAS data gathered by this amendment will be a tremendous value 
as VA, DOD, and other agencies across our Federal Government continue 
their research related to this important matter.
  Madam Speaker, I encourage my colleagues to vote ``yes''.
  Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS. Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my 
time.
  Ms. ROSS. Madam Speaker, this amendment will help us understand 
additional sources of PFAS exposure on military bases and empower 
veterans to seek medical care accordingly.
  Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support my amendment along 
with Representative Rouzer and the underlying bill, and I yield back 
the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 950, the 
previous question is ordered on the amendment offered by the 
gentlewoman from North Carolina (Ms. Ross).
  The question is on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from 
North Carolina (Ms. Ross).
  The amendment was agreed to.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.


                  Amendment No. 22 Offered by Mr. Ruiz

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 
22, printed in part B of House Report 117-253.
  Mr. RUIZ. Madam Speaker, I have an amendment at the desk.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:
       At the end of title VII, insert the following:

     SEC. 707. BURN PIT REGISTRY UPDATES.

       (a) Individuals Eligible to Update.--

[[Page H1280]]

       (1) In general.--Not later than 180 days after the date of 
     the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs 
     shall take actions necessary to ensure that the burn pit 
     registry may be updated with the cause of death of a deceased 
     registered individual by--
       (A) an individual designated by such deceased registered 
     individual; or
       (B) if no such individual is designated, an immediate 
     family member of such deceased registered individual.
       (2) Designation.--The Secretary shall provide, with respect 
     to the burn pit registry, a process by which a registered 
     individual may make a designation for purposes of paragraph 
     (1)(A).
       (b) Definitions.--In this section:
       (1) The term ``burn pit registry'' means the registry 
     established under section 201 of the Dignified Burial and 
     Other Veterans' Benefits Improvement Act of 2012 (Public Law 
     112-260; 38 U.S.C. 527 note).
       (2) The term ``immediate family member'', with respect to a 
     deceased individual, means--
       (A) the spouse, parent, brother, sister, or adult child of 
     the individual;
       (B) an adult person to whom the individual stands in loco 
     parentis; or
       (C) any other adult person--
       (i) living in the household of the individual at the time 
     of the death of the individual; and
       (ii) related to the individual by blood or marriage.
       (3) The term ``registered individual'' means an individual 
     registered with the burn pit registry.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 950, the 
gentleman from California (Mr. Ruiz) and a Member opposed each will 
control 5 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from California.
  Mr. RUIZ. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Madam Speaker, I rise in support of my amendment to the Honoring our 
PACT Act, which includes language from my bill, the Burn Pits Registry 
Enhancement Act.
  This amendment would allow veterans in the burn pits registry to 
designate someone to update the registry with their cause of death. I 
hope that makes common sense. This data is crucial to further identify 
illnesses that are causing burn pit exposed veterans to die and will 
help doctors recognize early symptoms.
  I also rise in support of another amendment I submitted that was part 
of an en bloc package that passed yesterday. That amendment is from my 
Reducing Exposure to Burn Pits Act. It would require the DOD to 
consider safer alternatives to burn pits. This amendment will get us 
one step closer to ending the exposure to toxic burn pits once and for 
all.
  I have fought for years to bring attention to this issue and its 
devastating toll on our Nation's servicemembers and their families.
  I have told the story of Jennifer Kepner, an Air Force veteran from 
Cathedral City in my district. She was an otherwise healthy mother of 
two who lost her courageous battle with pancreatic cancer likely caused 
by her exposure to burn pits during her military service.
  I have told the story of Alejandro Camacho, my constituent from Palm 
Desert, who developed testicular cancer from the toxic smoke and 
carcinogens he breathed in every day during his service in Iraq.
  It is for Jennifer, Alejandro, and the millions of other veterans 
suffering from their burn pit exposure that I founded the bipartisan, 
bicameral Congressional Burn Pit Caucus.
  It is why I introduced the Presumptive Benefits for War Fighters 
Exposed to Burn Pits and Other Toxins Act to create a presumption of 
service connection for 23 illnesses related to service near burn pits.
  That bill is included in the Honoring our PACT Act and highlights the 
urgent need to pass it now. The Honoring our PACT Act will take urgent 
and aggressive action to give the veterans the care they need and 
ensure we don't repeat the Agent Orange delays that our Vietnam 
veterans experienced.
  Last night, I texted the widower of Jennifer Kepner, Ben Kepner, and 
I said: Tomorrow is the big day, my friend. He texted back: Tomorrow is 
Jennifer Kepner's birthday. So we will pass this bill on Jennifer 
Kepner's birthday, which is amazing.
  Madam Speaker, I yield 30 seconds to Chairman Takano.
  Mr. TAKANO. Madam Speaker, I rise in support of the amendment 
introduced by Representatives Ruiz, Ryan, and Gonzalez-Colon.
  Madam Speaker, I want to take my 30 seconds to just say how much this 
bill, the Honoring our PACT Act, rests on the work, passion, and energy 
of the gentleman from the neighboring district in Riverside County, 
which we both have the honor to represent.
  Dr. Ruiz has brought his tremendous knowledge as a doctor, somebody 
with three medically-related degrees from Harvard University--the first 
Latino to do so. I can't say enough about the work that he has done to 
make this possible, and we all are grateful.
  Mr. RUIZ. Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS. Madam Speaker, I claim time in opposition, 
although I am not opposed.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the gentlewoman from Iowa 
is recognized for 5 minutes.
  There was no objection.
  Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS. Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. RUIZ. Madam Speaker, how much time do I have remaining?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman has 1\3/4\ minutes remaining.
  Mr. RUIZ. Madam Speaker, I would like to thank Chairman Takano and 
the Veterans' Affairs Committee staff for their tireless work, their 
leadership, their courage and bravery to address this incredible 
problem.
  I would also like to thank all the veterans who spoke up when nobody 
listened, like Rosie Torres from Burn Pits 360; and many others who 
have lost a loved one; and all the widows who have been crying to be 
recognized and pleading with us to do something so that other veterans 
wouldn't suffer these atrocities.
  This is a self-inflicted DOD wound that our military did to our 
servicemembers, and now they are dying as delayed casualties of war due 
to those exposures. We need to save lives today. This is a life-and-
death situation.
  If there is ever a human face to policy, it is now in this policy 
because there are children wondering why, when their parents came back 
healthy from the war, they died 5, 6, 7 years later. This is why we 
need to pass this bill and ensure that our promise to our veterans, and 
our promise to our Vietnam veterans, that we will never allow their 
Agent Orange experience to translate ever again into the American 
experience.
  This is our time to stand up for our veterans, not just in hugging 
flags, but also in pragmatic solidarity and support to give them the 
care and the relief that they need right now.
  Madam Speaker, I wish the Kepner family a very happy birthday 
celebration in memory of Jennifer Kepner. I yield back the balance of 
my time.
  Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS. Madam Speaker, as both a physician and a 24-year 
military veteran coming from a family of veterans, married to a veteran 
of 30 years, let me say to my colleagues: We can save lives today with 
a bill on the President's desk today by passing in this Chamber the 
Health Care for Burn Pit Veterans Act. We can pass that now and they 
can receive healthcare now.
  Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 950, the 
gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Ryan) and a Member opposed each will control 5 
minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Ohio.
  Mr. RYAN. Madam Speaker, I thank Chairman Takano for including in 
this bill the Heath Robinson Burn Pit Transparency Act as a part of 
this comprehensive bill to address toxic exposure in our veteran 
community. I rise today to discuss my amendment, the Heath Robinson 
Burn Pit Transparency Act, named for Heath Robinson whom I spoke about 
in this very Chamber just 4 months ago.
  I stand here humbled to see it come to the floor in a bipartisan 
effort to finally address this dire problem.
  Heath deployed to Kosovo in 2004 and Iraq in 2006 and was the Ohio 
National Guard NCO Soldier of the Year in 2012 and 2013.
  Being a soldier was Heath's identity. He was proud of his service and 
humbled to serve overseas defending those he loved. While deployed, 
Heath was exposed to burn pits in Iraq, and those toxic wounds of war 
followed Heath home. He was a loving father, husband, and son who, 
unfortunately and tragically, lost his life on May 6, 2020, at the 
young age of 39. His story is a sobering one but reminds us why this 
amendment is needed.
  In late 2016, Heath began noticing early symptoms starting with 
fatigue which worsened to chronic, gushing nosebleeds and bleeding from 
his ears. After a dozen doctors were unable to provide answers, it was 
finally determined that at the age of 35 he suffered from a rare 
autoimmune disease. After new symptoms presented and Heath's condition 
deteriorated, his family learned Heath was stricken with an extremely 
rare form of lung cancer that, according to 20 oncologists, could have 
only been caused by prolonged inhalation of concentrated toxic 
substances.
  Heath was eventually forced into a medical separation with his lung 
cancer being deemed 100 percent service connected by the Veterans 
Administration. His retirement documents specify that Heath was a 
recently retired combat veteran. However, once he applied for 
comprehensive caregiver benefits, the VA denied him. They stated that 
although Heath Robinson's lung cancer was 100 percent service 
connected, there was no evidence that his cancer was caused by burn 
pits or combat related. His wife, a doctor of physical therapy, had to 
take an unpaid leave of absence from a full-time job to handle her 
husband's round-the-clock care. This service was paramount to this 
family, and the VA failed them.
  The final year of Heath's life consisted of his wife and her mom 
watching helplessly as Heath suffered in pain, struggling to breathe 
daily, and coughing incessantly. Many days were spent holding a basin 
under his face to catch vomit and blood streaming from

[[Page H1282]]

his nose while they shoved the oxygen tube into his mouth 
intermittently so he wouldn't die. They lost count of the number of 
times he had to be rushed to the nearest emergency room only to be 
transferred to a trauma hospital because the doctors had no idea what 
to do with him. Doctors exclaimed that they had never seen a cancer 
like Heath had.
  The VA decided this American soldier and war veteran didn't qualify 
for caregiver benefits because his exposure to inhaling toxic burn pit 
smoke did not cause his lung cancer. The Robinson family suffered 
tremendously while earned benefits were withheld by the VA.
  The story of the Robinson family is one of many dating back years to 
the days of Agent Orange when other veterans suffered the same fate. 
When veterans seek treatment related to burn pit exposure, my amendment 
requires the VA to report it to Congress. It demands transparency and 
helps find policy solutions driven by large-scale data to get our 
veterans the care they need and that they have earned. We can do better 
to provide care for soldiers and family members, and we must provide 
safeguards and transparency to ensure that.
  Madam Speaker, I urge a ``yes'' vote on my amendment, and I reserve 
the balance of my time.
  Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS. Madam Speaker, I claim the time in opposition,

California (Mr. Takano), who is the chairman of the committee, for any 
comments.
  Mr. TAKANO. Madam Speaker, I rise in support of Congressman Ryan's 
bipartisan amendment.
  Let me just say that the PACT Act is something that this Congress 
must do, and the Republican substitute is simply what we, this 
Congress, can get away with. We cannot simply rest on what we can get 
away with.
  Mr. RYAN. Madam Speaker, I urge a ``yes'' vote, and I yield back the 
balance of my time.
