     investigate the allegation to determine whether the protected 
     communication or activity under subsection (b) was a

     be taken or withheld) against a member of the armed forces.

     convincing evidence that the same personnel action would have 
     occurred in the absence of such protected communication or 
     activity.
       ``(E) If the Inspector General preliminarily determines in 
     an investigation under subparagraph (D) that a personnel

                   MEMBERS.

       (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that:
       (1) The demands of the future operating environment need to 
     be met by the most professional, intelligent, innovative, and 
     capable servicemembers our nation has ever produced.
       (2) Though officers comprise roughly 18% of the armed 
     forces, they receive significantly higher investments into 
     their education up to the PhD level than that of their 
     enlisted counterparts.
       (3) Investing in enlisted advanced education will 
     strengthen the lethality of the armed forces by producing 
     higher quantities of noncommissioned officers able to operate 
     through the intellectual demands of complex contingencies, 
     producing military leaders at rates higher than is otherwise 
     feasible with the pool of eligible officers.
       (4) Conducting research and analysis on the impact of 
     advanced education on enlisted servicemembers performance, 
     promotion rate, misconduct, and retention is critical to 
     propelling the Department of Defense's initiatives for a 
     modern, state-of-the art approach to education and research 
     to create and sustain an intellectual overmatch in today's 
     warfighting domains.
       (5) The Naval Postgraduate School serves as a converging 
     point for all branches of the United States military while 
     simultaneously offering innovative learning environments 
     that, combined, offers an ideal testing ground to evaluate 
     the potential benefits of expanding enlisted higher education 
     across the Joint Force.
       (b) In General.--Subsection (a)(2)(D)(iii) of section 8545 
     of title 10, United States Code, is amended by striking 
     ``only on a space-available basis'' and inserting ``at a rate 
     of acceptance not to be conditioned by the number of officer 
     applications''.
       (c) Briefing.--Six years after the date of the enactment of 
     this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall brief the Committees 
     on Armed Services of the Senate and House of Representatives 
     on the effects of increasing enrollment of enlisted members 
     at the Naval Postgraduate School pursuant to the amendment 
     made by subsection (a). Such briefing shall include the 
     following elements:
       (1) Any increase to the lethality of the Armed Forces.
       (2) Effects on rates of recruitment, promotion (including 
     compensation to members), and retention.
       (3) Effects on malign behavior by members of the Armed 
     Forces.

     9414b of title 10, United States Code, is amended to read as 
     follows: ``An individual selected for the position of Provost

     SEC. 1046. REPOSITORY OF LOCAL NATIONALS WORKING FOR OR ON 
                   BEHALF OF FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IN THEATER OF 
                   COMBAT OPERATIONS.

       (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) there are well documented administrative issues with 
     current and former Special Immigrant Visa programs that 
     significantly increase the application timeline and impact 
     applicants seeking to verify their eligibly for these 
     programs;
       (2) administrative issues such a verification of 
     employment, characterization of service, personnel data, and 
     biographical data needed for employment by a local national 
     employee but not centrally maintained should not be a barrier 
     for an applicant who has put themselves or their family at 
     risk by providing faithful and valuable service in support 
     the United States Government;
       (3) upon studying existing databases within the federal 
     government, none meet the requirement that would provide a 
     centralized database that all federal departments and 
     agencies could utilize to ensure that in the future, eligible 
     applicants do not have applications delayed or denied due to 
     missing administrative data;
       (4) the creation of such a database, exercising current 
     privacy data control policies, would streamline the 
     application process and provide independent and centralized 
     verification that an applicant is indeed eligible for the 
     program; and
       (5) Special Immigrant Visa programs are consistent with our 
     national values, and therefore, it is an obligation to make 
     sure the accurate data necessary to verify and complete these 
     applications expeditiously is available when needed.
       (b) Database.--Not later than one year after the date of 
     enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense, in 
     coordination with the Secretary of State, shall establish and 
     maintain a database listing all foreign nationals working for 
     the United States Government or any contractor or 
     subcontractor (at any tier) of the Department of Defense, the 
     Department of State, or any other agency or instrumentality 
     of the Executive branch in a theater of combat operations. 
     This section and the requirements of this section shall be 
     carried out consistent with the Privacy Act of 1974.
       (c) Requirements.--The database established under 
     subsection (b) shall be electronic and searchable, and shall 
     include, with respect to each foreign national so listed, the 
     following:

[[Page H6098]]

       (1) Full name and date of birth.
       (2) Contact information.
       (3) Local national or State ID Number.

       (5) Job location.
       (6) The component of Government or contractor contact 
     information.
       (7) Start and end dates, total length of service, and 
     whether the foreign national has met the length of service 
     requirement for the Special Immigrant Visa program in that 
     country, if applicable.
       (8) A thorough description of work duties and the location 
     where duties were performed.
       (9) Any other information the Secretary of Defense or 
     Secretary of State deems appropriate.
       (d) Notification.--The Secretary of Defense, Secretary of 
     State, the head of any other agency or instrumentality of the 
     Executive branch, and each contractor or subcontractor (at 
     any tier) of the Department of Defense, the Department of 
     State, or such other agency or instrumentality, shall provide 
     to any foreign national employee in the database established 
     under subsection (b), at the end of each year of employment 
     with the Government, contractor, or subcontractor (at any 
     tier) (as the case may be) and on the date such employment 
     terminates, a written certification regarding such employee's 
     total length of service.

     SEC. 1047. TRANSFERS AND PAY OF NONAPPROPRIATED FUND 
                   EMPLOYEES.

       (a) In General.--Not later than 180 days after the date of 
     enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall update 
     policies and procedures, as needed, to expedite the process 
     for interservice transfers of nonappropriated fund employees. 
     The Secretary shall provide an update to the appropriate 
     committees on the completion of such updates.
       (b) Report.--Not later than 2 years after the date of 
     enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall submit a report to 
     the congressional defense committees on the following:
       (1) The impact of the change on the processing time for 
     transfers of nonappropropriated fund employees between 
     nonappropriated fund instrumentaliteis in different military 
     services.
       (2) The impact of the changes on the processing time for 
     reinstatement of nonappropriated fund employees to a 
     nonappropriated fund instrumentality in a military service 
     that is different from the military service where the 
     individual was previously employed by a nonappropriated fund 
     instrumentality.
       (3) The impact of the changes on recruitment and retention 
     of nonappropriated fund employees in general and specifically 
     for nonappropriated fund employees of military child

     SEC. 1048. ESTABLISHMENT OF JOINT TRAINING PIPELINE BETWEEN 
                   UNITED STATES NAVY AND ROYAL AUSTRALIAN NAVY.

       (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the AUKUS partnership between Australia, the United 
     Kingdom, and the United States presents a significant 
     opportunity to enhance security cooperation in the Indo-
     Pacific region;
       (2) parties to the AUKUS partnership should work 
     expeditiously to implement a strategic roadmap to 
     successfully deliver capabilities outlined in the agreement;
       (3) the United States should engage with industry partners 
     to develop a comprehensive understanding of the requirements 
     needed to increase capacity and capability;
       (4) Australia should continue to expand its industrial base 
     to support production and delivery of future capabilities;
       (5) the delivery of a nuclear-powered submarine to the 
     Government of Australia would require the appropriate 
     training and development of future commanding officers to 
     operate such submarines for the Royal Australian Navy; and
       (6) in order to uphold the stewardship of the Naval Nuclear 
     Propulsion Program, the Secretary of Defense should work to 
     coordinate an exchange program to integrate and train 
     Australian sailors for the operation and maintenance of 
     nuclear-powered submarines.
       (b) Exchange Program.--The Secretary of Defense, in 
     consultation with the Secretary of Energy, shall carry out an 
     exchange program for Australian submarine officers during 
     2023 and each subsequent year. Under the program, each year, 
     a minimum of two Australian submarine officers shall be 
     selected to participate in the program. Each such participant 
     shall--
       (1) receive training in the Navy Nuclear Propulsion School;
       (2) following such training and by not later than July 1 of 
     the year of participation, enroll in the Submarine Office 
     Basic Course; and
       (3) following completion of such course, be assigned to 
     duty on an operational United States submarine at sea.
       (c) Report.--Not later than 180 days after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall submit 
     to the congressional defense committees a report on a 
     notional exchange program for Australian submarine officers 
     that includes initial, follow-on, and recurring training that 
     could be provided to Australian submarine officers in order 
     prepare such officers for command of nuclear-powered 
     Australian submarines.

     history of the Navy to bear that name.
       (2) The motto of the USS Oklahoma City is ``The Sooner, The

     crew of the USS Oklahoma City.

     November 2, 1985, sponsored by Linda M. Nickles, and was

     Oklahoma City supported a range of missions, including anti-
     surface warfare, anti-submarine warfare, targeted strike

            Subtitle E--Matters Relating to Europe and NATO

     SEC. 1261. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON UNITED STATES DEFENSE POSTURE 
                   IN EUROPE FOLLOWING THE FURTHER INVASION OF 
                   UKRAINE.

       It is the sense of Congress as follows:
       (1) The further invasion of Ukraine presents a sea change 
     to the security environment in Europe that requires a long-
     term shift in the force posture of the United States and its 
     allies, in order to ensure the maintenance of collective 
     deterrence. As General Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, 
     recently noted, ``We are witness to the greatest threat to 
     peace and security of Europe and perhaps the world in my 42 
     years of service in uniform. The Russian invasion of Ukraine 
     is threatening to undermine not only European peace and 
     stability but global peace and stability. . . . We are at a 
     pivot point in the geostrategic history of Europe and perhaps 
     the globe.''.
       (2) Adjustments to force posture in Europe must be 
     commensurate to this challenge. Alongside allied investments, 
     it is necessary for the United States to alter its force 
     posture to establish additional permanently stationed and 
     continuous rotational forces along Europe's eastern flank. 
     Given the current conditions, it would be untenable for the 
     United States to seek to revert to United States force levels 
     and positioning present in Europe before Russia's further 
     invasion of Ukraine, to rely solely on allied forces for 
     further force posture enhancements, or adopt a path to 
     transition away from investments in Europe through the 
     European Deterrence Initiative (EDI), except for exceptional 
     cases.
       (3) As General Tod Wolters, Commander of U.S. European 
     Command, has stated, investments made through EDI since 2014 
     have proved essential to the United States ability to respond 
     to the Ukraine crisis, deploying units in 5 days that would 
     have taken as long as 21 days. General Wolters further 
     stated, ``To take an Armored Brigade Combat Team and launch 
     it from the continental United States, and put it on European 
     turf, and have the tanks that comprise that Brigade Combat 
     Team to shoot, move, and communicate and fire on range in one 
     week is an amazing accomplishment. And that was facilitated 
     by those Army Prepositioned Stocks and it was practiced in 
     previous exercises which are part of the EDI fund. I would 
     just say that when we demonstrated to the European community, 
     and to the NATO community, and to the world how well we can 
     shoot, move, and communicate and transition a large force 
     from CONUS to Europe at that pace, it's something that 
     demonstrates the great value of EDI.''.
       (4) Past decisions made by the Department of Defense and 
     Congress about prepositioned stocks, mobility, and funding 
     for EDI led directly to this ability to quickly reinforce the 
     area of operations in this crisis, and EDI investments will 
     be crucial for adaptation to the new European security 
     environment. The Department of Defense should continue to 
     strongly support EDI investments with a focus on adapting 
     deterrence to the new security environment and incorporating 
     lessons learned from the conflict in Ukraine, and it should 
     not seek a path to EDI's sunset.
       (5) The United States recognizes that strong alliances and 
     partnerships are crucial to the maintenance of United States 
     national and global security. The NATO alliance has grown 
     more robust and more united in response to Russia's 
     aggression in Ukraine. Members of NATO have announced 
     substantial changes in their defense commitments, adopting 
     measures to meet and exceed their Wales Pledge commitments to 
     spend 2 percent of Gross Domestic Product on defense and 
     increasing commitments to NATO battle group and air policing 
     missions, while sending vital defense assistance to Ukraine. 
     Congress commends such members of NATO for their adoption and 
     sustainment of these efforts.

[[Page H6112]]

     Such commitments are vital to the long-term effort required 
     to maintain deterrence in the European theater. The United 
     States should continue to work with allies on complementary 
     investments to establish in Europe a mature, fully integrated 
     deterrence platform capable of responding to the expanded 
     threat of Russian aggression and supporting NATO allies' 
     ongoing efforts to collectively resist direct and hybrid 
     threats to shared values, interests, and ideals.
       (6) The United States should also redouble efforts to 
     assist NATO allies, particularly on Europe's eastern 
     periphery, in modernizing and integrating their defense 
     capabilities taking into account lessons from Russia's war in 
     Ukraine, including efforts to provide artillery, MLRS, 
     MANPADS, air defenses, and other capabilities.
       (7) As it reinforces deterrence, the United States should 
     recognize the acute risks now facing allies on Russia's 
     periphery and pursue national security investments and 
     strategies commensurate to the challenge, including 
     additional EDI programs, in the Black Sea, the Baltics, the 
     Arctic, and Central Europe, in order to maintain the 
     credibility of the ``sacred obligation under Article 5 of the 
     North Atlantic Treaty to defend every inch of NATO 
     territory.''.
       (8) Likewise, the United States should keep in mind the 
     particularly significant challenges posed to non-NATO 
     European partners and seek security strategies to continue 
     cooperation and support their sovereign rights, while also 
     pursuing security policies that support stability in areas of 
     substantial malign effort such as the Western Balkans.
       (9) The United States continues to recognize the importance 
     of the long-term Baltic Security Initiative assistance plan 
     that the Department of Defense is carrying out under section 
     333 of title 10, United States Code, and the crucial role 
     that such investments play in deterring Russian aggression in 
     that region.

     SEC. 1262. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON NATO MEMBERSHIP FOR FINLAND 
                   AND SWEDEN.

       It is the sense of Congress that the United States strongly 
     supports membership for Finland and Sweden in the North 
     Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) South Korea continues to be a critical ally of the 
     United States;
       (2) the presence of United States Armed Forces in South 
     Korea serves as a strong deterrent against North Korean 
     military aggression and as a critical support platform for 
     national security engagements in the Indo-Pacific region;
       (3) the presence of approximately 28,500 members of the 
     United States Armed Forces deployed to South Korea serves not 
     only as a stabilizing force to the Korean peninsula but also 
     as a reassurance to all our allies in the region; and

       (A) maintain and strengthen its bilateral relationship with

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

     Defense launch ranges primarily responsible for meeting its 
     assured access to space mission under section 2273 of title 
     10, United States Code, and complying with section 2276 of 
     such title, is under increasing strain, and needs to be 
     replaced with a modern, state of the art launch 
     infrastructure that encourages and enables continued growth 
     and leadership in space access;
       (5) maintenance of common use critical infrastructure like 
     roads, culverts, bridges, deluge and water treatment 
     facilities, supply lines, and electrical networks, among 
     others, require immediate attention;
       (6) investments in infrastructure have not kept pace with 
     commercial demand primarily due to existing authorities which 
     limit reimbursement, flexible financial investment 
     facilities, and reinvestment of revenue in spaceport 
     sustainment, modernization, and growth;
       (7) the burgeoning commercial space industry requires a 
     more holistic, responsive process leveraging public and 
     private investment;
       (8) the Department of Defense is constrained to provide 
     services to commercial users only when not needed for public 
     use, yet at the same time must promote commercial space 
     launch capabilities as a critical enabler to national 
     security;
       (9) the United States Space Force has made great use of 
     existing authorities and those provided by other non-Federal 
     entities to leverage other sources of commercial and State 
     investment to keep pace with demand;
       (10) a similar State business development entity would be 
     useful for supporting commercial space launch capability 
     development in California at Vandenberg Space Force Base and 
     other spaceports, and Congress looks forward to

     assisting the Department of Defense in improving its ability 
     to plan and support commercial innovation while continuing to 
     provide world class launch and test facilities; and
       (11) the Secretary and the Department should engage with 
     all stakeholders, including NASA, other relevant Federal 
     agencies, and the associated congressional authorizing 
     committees of jurisdiction, in any reporting, negotiation, 
     policy, and potential legislative proposals on this matter.

     SEC. 1634. NUCLEAR-CAPABLE SEA-LAUNCHED CRUISE MISSILE.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) Several senior military officers, including the 
     Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and 
     the Commander of United States Strategic Command, have 
     offered their support for continued research and development 
     of a nuclear-capable sea-launched cruise missile to 
     strengthen nuclear deterrence.
       (2) Deploying a nuclear-capable sea-launched cruise missile 
     on naval vessels would ``not come without a cost'', as was 
     testified by Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Mike Gilday. 
     Admiral Gilday described the challenges associated with 
     training, sustainability, reliability, and readiness that 
     would be associated with adding a nuclear mission and went on 
     to say that he was ``not convinced yet that we need to make a 
     $31,000,000,000 investment in that particular system to close 
     that particular gap''. Instead, he recommended keeping ``a 
     small amount of money'' for research and development of the 
     nuclear-capable sea-launched cruise missile as the Department 
     of Defense seeks to better understand the implications of 
     living with two nuclear-armed peer competitors.
       (b) Reports.--
       (1) Deterrence.--Not later than 270 days after the date of 
     the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of the Defense shall 
     submit to the congressional defense committees a report that 
     describes the approach by the Department of Defense for 
     deterring theater nuclear employment by Russia and China, 
     including--
       (A) an assessment of the current and future theater nuclear 
     capabilities and doctrine of Russia and China;
       (B) an explanation of the strategy and capabilities of the 
     United States for deterring theater nuclear employment; and
       (C) a comparative assessment of options for strengthening 
     deterrence of theater nuclear employment, including pursuit 
     of the nuclear-capable sea-launched cruise missile and other 
     potential changes to the nuclear and conventional posture and 
     capabilities of the United States.
       (2) Cost.--Not later than 270 days after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, the Secretary of the Navy shall submit 
     to the congressional defense committees a report that 
     describes the full cost of developing, producing, fielding, 
     and maintaining nuclear-capable sea-launched cruise missiles 
     through at least 2050, including--
       (A) the costs associated with research and development and 
     production of the missile;
       (B) the costs associated with modifications to port 
     infrastructure;
       (C) the costs associated with nuclear certification, 
     personnel training, and operations; and
       (D) any other incremental costs compared to sustaining and 
     operating nonnuclear naval vessels.
       (3) Operational limitations.--Not later than 270 days after 
     the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of the 
     Navy shall submit to the congressional defense committees a 
     report that describes any operational limitations and trade-
     offs that would be associated with deploying nuclear-capable 
     sea-launched cruise missiles on naval vessels, including--
       (A) the effect of allocating missile or torpedo tubes from 
     conventional munitions to nuclear munitions;
       (B) operational constraints and trade-offs associated with 
     reserving or limiting naval vessels on account of nuclear 
     mission requirements;
       (C) trade-offs in posture and capabilities that the Navy 
     would likely face if the Navy had to allocate more resources 
     to a nuclear-capable missiles; and
       (D) any other issues identified by the Secretary.
       (4) Development.--Not later than 270 days after the date of 
     the enactment of this Act, the Administrator for Nuclear 
     Security shall submit to the congressional defense committees 
     a report that describes the cost and timeline of developing 
     and producing a warhead for a nuclear-capable sea-launched 
     cruise missile, including--
       (A) the cost of developing, producing, and sustaining the 
     warhead;
       (B) the timeline for the design, production, and fielding 
     of the warhead; and
       (C) an assessment of how the pursuit of the warhead would 
     affect other planned warhead activities of the National 
     Nuclear Security Administration, including whether there 
     would be risk to the cost and schedule of other warhead 
     programs of the Administration if the Administrator added a 
     nuclear-capable sea-launched cruise missile warhead to the 
     portfolio of such programs.
       (5) Preferred course of action.--To inform the reports 
     under this subsection, not later than 30 days after the date 
     of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall 
     submit to the congressional defense committees a report 
     identifying one or more preferred courses of action from 
     among the actions identified in the analysis of alternatives 
     for a nuclear-capable sea-launched cruise missile.
       (c) Limitation.--
       (1) In general.--None of the funds authorized to be 
     appropriated by this Act or otherwise made available for 
     fiscal year 2023 for the Department of Defense or the

     expended for a purpose specified in paragraph (2) until--
       (A) each of the reports under subsection (b) have been 
     submitted to the congressional defense committees; and
       (B) the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the 
     Administrator for Nuclear Security, certifies to the 
     congressional defense committees that the development and 
     deployment of a nuclear-capable sea-launched cruise missile 
     is required to meet a valid military requirement and would 
     not create significant risk to conventional or nuclear 
     deterrence by constraining conventional military operations 
     or trading-off with the pursuit of other conventional or 
     nuclear military capabilities.
       (2) Funds specified.--The purposes specified in this

  The gentleman from Washington (Mr. Smith) and the gentleman from 
Alabama (Mr. Rogers) each will control 30 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Washington.


                             General Leave

  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that 
all Members may have 5 legislative days in which to revise and extend 
their remarks and include extraneous material on H.R. 7900.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Washington?
  There was no objection.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself 4 minutes.
  Mr. Speaker, we have before us today the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023. As most people know, we have 
passed the National Defense Authorization Act every year for 62 
straight years, and I urge Members to do it again this year.
  I will start by thanking Ranking Member Rogers and the minority. We 
have once again managed to work together in a bipartisan fashion to 
craft this bill in committee during a roughly 16-, 16\1/2\-hour markup 
in which we entertained roughly a thousand amendments and a whole bunch 
of different ideas and proposals to create this product.
  I think the legislative process is enormously important. We continue 
it here with 1,200 amendments submitted to the Rules Committee, 650, 
roughly, in order. I am told that is actually a new record for a piece 
of House legislation, a record we weren't necessarily looking to set, 
but it does reflect the participation in this process of this entire 
body of an incredibly important piece of legislation, and we can't lose 
track of that fact.
  This is the bill that enables the Congress to exercise oversight of 
the Pentagon. In this year's budget, we authorize $850 billion. It is 
usually somewhere, by the time we are done, around a 3,000-page bill.
  It is an incredibly important piece of legislation that gives us the 
power and the ability to exercise that important oversight authority of 
the Pentagon and Department of Defense.
  We have done a lot of good work in this year's bill. I think the 
focus, as we go forward, is obviously the men and women who serve and 
making sure that they have the tools they need to do the jobs that we 
have given them to do.
  We could have a robust debate about what those jobs should be, but I 
think we can all agree that once that debate is settled and the tasks 
are assigned, the men and women who serve must have the tools and the 
support from us that they need to do that job.
  This year, it has been particularly challenging, given the rate of 
inflation. Our bill reflects that, giving some additional support to 
our servicemembers and their families to deal with housing costs and 
also additional bonus pay to deal with that inflation. So, we support 
the servicemen and -women through our financial support and through 
making sure that their needs are met.
  The other big issue is making sure that the Pentagon is spending the 
money wisely. As many of you have heard, I have argued frequently that 
the amount of money is not as important as how we spend it. Over the 
course of the last couple of decades, we have struggled with the number 
of programs that have been over budget and underperforming. We have, 
over the course of the last 6 years, put in place critical acquisition 
reform and procurement reform to put the Pentagon in a better position 
to take advantage of innovative new technologies and, crucially, 
competition to make sure that we get a better product.
  We are beginning to see the fruits of that success. In programs like 
the B-21 and the GBSD, whatever one thinks of those programs, they are 
on time, on budget, and actually meeting their requirements, which is a 
significant change. That is due, in large part, to a lot of the 
legislation that we passed here.
  I think we have put together an excellent product. In particular, I 
thank my staff and also the Rules Committee staff. The Rules Committee 
staff had to sift through those 1,200 amendments, give them the 
attention that they are due, and make sure that the process worked. 
They did an amazing job working with our staff.
  I thank my staff on the Armed Services Committee, both on the 
Republican side and the Democratic side, and our bipartisan staff for 
doing an outstanding job.
  I recognize one of our staff members not able to be with us today who 
is normally here. Sharma gave birth to her second child yesterday. She 
wishes she were here, but she is also, I think, pretty happy where she 
is. So, I want to pass along that congratulations.
  Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.

                                         House of Representatives,


                                     Committee on Agriculture,

       Dear Chairman Smith: I am writing to you concerning H.R. 
     7900, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
     2023. There are certain provisions in the legislation that 
     fall within the Rule X jurisdiction of the Committee on 
     Agriculture.
       In the interest of permitting your committee to proceed 
     expeditiously to floor consideration of this important bill, 
     I am willing to waive this committee's right to sequential 
     referral. I do so with the understanding that by waiving 
     consideration of the bill, the Committee on Agriculture does 
     not waive any future jurisdictional claim over the subject 
     matters contained in the bill that fall within its Rule X 
     jurisdiction. I request that you urge the Speaker to name 
     members of this committee to any conference committee that is 
     named to consider such provisions.
       Please place this letter into the committee report on H.R. 
     7900 and into the Congressional Record during consideration 
     of the measure on the House floor. Thank you for the 
     cooperative spirit in which you have worked regarding this 
     matter and others between our respective committees.
           Sincerely,

                                  Committee on Appropriations,

                                    Washington, DC, June 28, 2022.
     Hon. Adam Smith,
     Chairman, Committee on Armed Services,
     House of Representatives, Washington, DC
       Dear Chairman Smith: I am writing to you concerning H.R. 
     7900, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
     2023.

[[Page H6219]]

     There are certain provisions in the legislation that fall 
     within the rule X jurisdiction of the Committee on 
     Appropriations.
       In the interest of permitting your committee to proceed 
     expeditiously to floor consideration of this important bill. 
     I am willing to waive this committee's right to sequential 
     referral. I do so with the understanding that by waiving 
     consideration of the bill, the Committee on Appropriations 
     does not waive any future jurisdictional claim over the 
     subject matters contained in the bill which fall within its 
     rule X jurisdiction. I request that you urge the Speaker to 
     name members of this Committee to any conference committee 
     which is named to consider such provisions.
       Please place this letter into the committee report on H.R. 
     7900 and into the Congressional Record during consideration 
     of the measure on the House floor. Thank you for the 
     cooperative spirit in which you have worked regarding this 
     matter and others between our respective committees.
           Sincerly,
                                                  Rosa L. DeLauro,
     Chair.

                                     House of Representatives,

                                    Washington, DC, June 30, 2022.
     Hon. Rosa L. DeLauro,
     Chair, Committee on Appropriations,
     House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
       Dear Chair DeLauro: Thank you for your letter regarding 
     H.R. 7900, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
     Year 2023. I agree that the Committee on Appropriations has 
     valid jurisdictional claims to certain provisions in this 
     important legislation, and I am most appreciative of your 
     decision not to request a referral in the interest of 
     expediting consideration of the bill. I agree that by 
     foregoing a sequential referral, the Committee on 
     Appropriations is not waiving its jurisdiction. Further, this 
     exchange of letters will be included in the committee report 
     on the bill.
           Sincerely,
                                                       Adam Smith,
     Chairman.

                                      Committee on the Budget,

                                    Washington, DC, June 27, 2022.
     Hon. Adam Smith,
     Chair, Committee on Armed Services,
     House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
       Dear Chair Smith: I write to confirm our mutual 
     understanding regarding H.R. 7900, the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023. H.R. 7900 contains 
     provisions that fall within the rule X jurisdiction of the 
     Committee on the Budget. However, the committee agrees to 
     waive formal consideration of the bill.
       The Committee on the Budget takes this action with the 
     mutual understanding that we do not waive any jurisdiction 
     over the subject matter contained in this or similar 
     legislation, and the committee will be appropriately 
     consulted and involved as the bill or similar legislation 
     moves forward so that we may address any remaining issues 
     within our jurisdiction. The committee also reserves the 
     right to seek appointment to any House-Senate conference 
     convened on this legislation or similar legislation and 
     requests your support if such a request is made.
       Finally, I would appreciate your response to this letter 
     confirming this understanding, and I ask that a copy of our 
     exchange of letters on this matter be included in the 
     Congressional Record during floor consideration of the bill. 
     I look forward to continuing to work with you as this measure 
     moves through the legislative process.
           Sincerely,
                                                     John Yarmuth,
     Chairman.
