     Nations, the World Organisation for Animal Health, the World 
     Health Organization, and the United Nations Environment 
     Programme, together with leading intergovernmental and 
     nongovernmental organizations, veterinary and medical 
     colleges, the Department of State, and the United States 
     Agency for International Development, should--
       (1) promote the paradigm of One Health as an effective and 
     integrated way to address the complexity of emerging disease 
     threats; and
       (2) support improved community health, biodiversity 
     conservation, forest conservation and management, sustainable 
     agriculture, and the safety of livestock, domestic animals, 
     and wildlife in developing countries, particularly in 
     tropical landscapes where there is an elevated risk of 
     zoonotic disease spill over.

     SEC. 5904. STATEMENT OF POLICY.

       It is the policy of the United States to--
       (1) support the availability of scalable and sustainable 
     alternative sources of protein and nutrition for local 
     communities, where appropriate, in order to minimize human 
     reliance on the commercial trade in live wildlife for human 
     consumption;
       (2) support foreign governments to--
       (A) reduce commercial trade in live wildlife for human 
     consumption;
       (B) transition from the commercial trade in live wildlife 
     for human consumption to sustainably produced alternate 
     protein and nutritional sources;
       (C) establish and effectively manage and protect natural 
     habitat, including protected and conserved areas and the 
     lands of Indigenous peoples and local communities, 
     particularly in countries with tropical forest hotspots for 
     emerging diseases;
       (D) strengthen veterinary and agricultural extension 
     capacity to improve sanitation along the value chain and 
     biosecurity of live animal markets; and
       (E) strengthen public health capacity, particularly in 
     countries where there is a high risk of emerging zoonotic 
     viruses and other infectious diseases;
       (3) respect the rights and needs of indigenous peoples and 
     local communities dependent on such wildlife for nutritional 
     needs and food security; and
       (4) facilitate international cooperation by working with 
     international partners through intergovernmental, 
     international, and nongovernmental organizations such as the 
     United Nations to--
       (A) lead a resolution at the United Nations Security 
     Council or General Assembly and World Health Assembly 
     outlining the danger to human and animal health from emerging 
     zoonotic infectious diseases, with recommendations for 
     implementing the closure of wildlife markets and prevention 
     of the commercial trade in live wildlife for human 
     consumption, except where the consumption of wildlife is 
     necessary for local food security or where such actions would 
     significantly disrupt a readily available and irreplaceable 
     food supply;
       (B) raise awareness and build stakeholder engagement 
     networks, including civil society, the private sector, and 
     local and regional governments on the dangerous potential of 
     wildlife markets as a source of zoonotic diseases and reduce 
     demand for the consumption of wildlife through evidence-based 
     behavior change programs, while ensuring that existing 
     wildlife habitat is not encroached upon or destroyed as part 
     of this process;
       (C) encourage and support alternative forms of sustainable 
     food production, farming, and shifts to sustainable sources 
     of protein and nutrition instead of terrestrial wildlife, 
     where able and appropriate, and reduce consumer demand for 
     terrestrial and freshwater wildlife through enhanced local 
     and national food systems, especially in areas where wildlife 
     markets play a significant role in meeting subsistence needs 
     while ensuring that existing wildlife habitat is not 
     encroached upon or destroyed as part of this process; and
       (D) strive to increase biosecurity and hygienic standards 
     implemented in farms, gathering centers, transport, and 
     market systems around the globe, especially those 
     specializing in the provision of products intended for human 
     consumption.

     SEC. 5306. PRELIMINARY DAMAGE ASSESSMENT.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) Preliminary damage assessments play a critical role in 
     assessing and validating the impact and magnitude of a 
     disaster.
       (2) Through the preliminary damage assessment process, 
     representatives from the Federal Emergency Management Agency 
     validate information gathered by State and local officials 
     that serves as the basis for disaster assistance requests.
       (3) Various factors can impact the duration of a 
     preliminary damage assessment and the corresponding 
     submission of a major disaster request, however, the average 
     time between when a disaster occurs, and the submission of a 
     corresponding disaster request has been found to be 
     approximately twenty days longer for flooding disasters.
       (4) With communities across the country facing increased 
     instances of catastrophic flooding and other extreme weather 
     events, accurate and efficient preliminary damage assessments 
     have become critically important to the relief process for 
     impacted States and municipalities.

     assessments; and
       (C) any additional legislative recommendations necessary to 
     improve the preliminary damage assessment process.

     Seven or reconstitute a Group of Eight that includes the 
     Russian Federation.
       (b) Limitation.--Notwithstanding any other provision of 
     law, no Federal funds are authorized to be appropriated or 
     otherwise made available to take any action to support or 
     facilitate--
       (1) the participation of the Russian Federation in a Group 
     of Seven proceeding; or
       (2) the reconstitution of a Group of Eight that includes 
     the Russian Federation.


       amendment no. 548 offered by mr. keating of massachusetts

       Page 826, insert after line 13 the following:

     SEC. 1236. CONDEMNING DETENTION AND INDICTMENT OF RUSSIAN 
                   OPPOSITION LEADER VLADIMIR VLADIMIROVICH KARA-
                   MURZA.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) Vladimir Vladimirovich Kara-Murza (referred to in this 
     section as ``Mr. Kara-Murza'') has tirelessly worked for 
     decades to advance the cause of freedom, democracy, and human 
     rights for the people of the Russian Federation.
       (2) In retaliation for his advocacy, two attempts have been 
     made on Mr. Kara-Murza's life, as--
       (A) on May 26, 2015, Mr. Kara-Murza fell ill with symptoms 
     indicative of poisoning and was hospitalized; and
       (B) on February 2, 2017, he fell ill with similar symptoms 
     and was placed in a medically induced coma.
       (3) Independent investigations conducted by Bellingcat, the 
     Insider, and Der Spiegel found that the same unit of the 
     Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation 
     responsible for poisoning Mr. Kara-Murza was responsible for 
     poisoning Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny and 
     activists Timur Kuashev, Ruslan Magomedragimov, and Nikita 
     Isayev.
       (4) On February 24, 2022, Vladimir Putin launched another 
     unprovoked, unjustified, and illegal invasion into Ukraine in 
     contravention of the obligations freely undertaken by the 
     Russian Federation to respect the territorial integrity of 
     Ukraine under the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, the Minsk 
     protocols of 2014 and 2015, and international law.
       (5) On March 5, 2022, Vladimir Putin signed a law 
     criminalizing the distribution of truthful statements about 
     the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation and 
     mandating up to 15 years in prison for such offenses.
       (6) Since February 24, 2022, Mr. Kara-Murza has used his 
     voice and platform to join more than 15,000 citizens of the 
     Russian Federation in peacefully protesting the war against 
     Ukraine and millions more who silently oppose the war.
       (7) On April 11, 2022, five police officers arrested Mr. 
     Kara-Murza in front of his home and denied his right to an 
     attorney, and the next day Mr. Kara-Murza was sentenced to 15 
     days in prison for disobeying a police order.
       (8) On April 22, 2022, the Investigative Committee of the 
     Russian Federation charged Mr. Kara-Murza with violations 
     under the law signed on March 5, 2022, for his fact-based 
     statements condemning the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian 
     Federation.
       (9) Mr. Kara-Murza was then placed into pretrial detention 
     and ordered to be held until at least June 12, 2022.
       (10) If convicted of those charges, Mr. Kara-Murza faces 
     detention in a penitentiary system that human rights 
     nongovernmental organizations have criticized for widespread 
     torture, ill-treatment, and suspicious deaths of prisoners.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     Congress--
       (1) condemns the unjust detention and indicting of Russian 
     opposition leader Vladimir Vladimirovich Kara-Murza, who has 
     courageously stood up to oppression in the Russian 
     Federation;
       (2) expresses solidarity with Vladimir Vladimirovich Kara-
     Murza, his family, and all individuals in the Russian 
     Federation imprisoned for exercising their fundamental 
     freedoms of speech, assembly, and belief;
       (3) urges the United States Government and other allied 
     governments to work to secure the immediate release of 
     Vladimir Vladimirovich Kara-Murza, Alexei Navalny, and other 
     citizens of the Russian Federation imprisoned for opposing 
     the regime of Vladimir Putin and the war against Ukraine; and
       (4) calls on the President to increase support provided by 
     the United States Government for those advocating for 
     democracy and independent media in the Russian Federation, 
     which Vladimir Vladimirovich Kara-Murza has worked to 
     advance.

           amendment no. 555 offered by mr. levin of michigan

       At the end of subtitle B of title XIII, add the following:

     SEC. 13_. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING THE BOYCOTT OF CERTAIN 
                   COMPANIES THAT CONTINUE TO OPERATE IN RUSSIA 
                   AND PROVIDE FINANCIAL BENEFITS TO THE PUTIN 
                   REGIME.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) On February 24, 2022, the Government of Russia, led by 
     Vladimir Putin, invaded the sovereign country of Ukraine 
     under the direction of the President of the Russian 
     Federation Vladimir Putin.
       (2) On March 6, 2022, Secretary of State Antony Blinken 
     stated that the United States has seen credible reports of 
     Russia engaging in ``deliberate attacks on civilians, which 
     would constitute a war crime''.
       (3) On March 16, 2022, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy urged 
     ``All American companies must leave Russia . . . leave their 
     market immediately, because it is flooded with [Ukrainian] 
     blood''.
       (4) In the same speech, President Zelenskyy called on 
     Congress to lead by pressuring companies ``who finance the 
     Russian military machine'' and conduct ``business in Russia'' 
     and to ``make sure that the Russians do not receive a single 
     penny that they use to destroy people in Ukraine''.
       (5) Jeffrey Sonnenfeld of the Yale School of Management has 
     compiled a list of some 1,000 companies which have withdrawn 
     permanently or temporarily from Russia.
       (6) By refusing to reduce, cease, or withdraw operations in 
     Russia, these companies which have not withdrawn permanently 
     or temporarily from Russia contribute to undermining the 
     sanctions imposed by the United States and its allies that 
     are intended to deter further Russian aggression.
       (7) A number of United States and multinational companies 
     that do business in Russia do not provide life-saving or 
     health-related goods and services to the Russian people and 
     contribute to Putin's ability to wage war in Ukraine and 
     continue to commit war crimes by providing revenue for the 
     Russian Government.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--Congress--
       (1) supports and encourages Americans who choose to 
     exercise their free speech rights by boycotting companies 
     that do not provide life-saving or health-related goods and 
     services to the Russian people yet continue to operate in 
     Russia;
       (2) condemns companies that continue to operate in Russia 
     and provide financial benefits to the Putin regime that 
     enable his ability to continue waging war in Ukraine; and
       (3) commends companies that have already suspended 
     operations in or withdrawn from markets in Russia in response 
     to the Putin regime's unlawful invasion of Ukraine.

           amendment no. 557 offered by mr. levin of michigan

       At the appropriate place in title LVIII, insert the 
     following:

     SEC. __. SENSE OF CONGRESS AND STATEMENT OF POLICY ON HAITI.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) Since 2018, the ruling PHTK has presided over 
     increasing instability, displacement, and poverty in Haiti 
     stemming from, among other reasons--
       (A) systematic dismantlement of the judicial system;
       (B) a non-functioning parliamentary system;
       (C) mass gang violence against civilians and between gangs 
     resulting in large-scale massacres;
       (D) gang rule of large parts of Haiti; daily kidnappings 
     for ransom;
       (E) widespread sexual violence against women, girls and 
     marginalized people;
       (F) grand corruption;
       (G) state violence against protesters;
       (H) unsafe conditions for workers;
       (I) diminished access to water, food, healthcare and 
     education; and
       (J) unnatural devastation from natural disasters.
       (2) Government-supported violence in Haiti has forced large 
     numbers of Haitians to flee the country, including to the 
     United States.
       (3) Independent human rights organizations and the media 
     have documented PHTK collusion with gang activity through--
       (A) the participation of PHTK officials in gang attacks;
       (B) the use of police vehicles in gang activities; and
       (C) systemic refusals by the police to interfere in gang 
     attacks and the justice system to prosecute gang members and 
     government officials credibly accused of participating in 
     massacres.
       (4) In 2021, the United States together with the 
     international community installed PHTK official Ariel Henry 
     as the Prime Minister and thus de facto head of Government of 
     Haiti following the assassination of President Jovenel Moise.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     the security, freedom, and well-being of Haitians are 
     intertwined with that of the people of the United States, and 
     United States interests are not served by an unstable or 
     unsafe Haiti.
       (c) Statement of Policy.--It is the policy of the United 
     States--
       (1) to support a Haitian-led solution to the current 
     crisis;
       (2) that the people of Haiti must be empowered to choose 
     their leaders and govern Haiti free from foreign 
     interference; and
       (3) to support the sustainable rebuilding and development 
     of Haiti in a manner that promotes efforts led and supported 
     by the people and Government of Haiti at all levels, so that 
     Haitians lead the course of reconstruction and development of 
     Haiti.

     letter of offer to sell, or any application for a license to 
     export or transfer, defense articles or defense services

     been credibly investigated and subjected to a credible and 
     transparent judicial process addressing such allegation; or

     violate international humanitarian law or internationally 
     recognized human rights.''.
       (b) Report.--The Secretary shall report to the appropriate

         Subtitle A--Matters Relating to the Conflict in Burma

     SEC. 5911. FINDINGS.

       Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Since 1988, the United States policy of principled 
     engagement has fostered positive

[[Page H6555]]

     democratic reforms in Burma, with elections in 2010, 2015, 
     and 2020, helping to bring about the partial transition to 
     civilian rule and with the latter 2 elections resulting in 
     resounding electoral victories for the National League for 
     Democracy.
       (2) That democratic transition remained incomplete, with 
     the military retaining significant power and independence 
     from civilian control following the 2015 elections, including 
     through control of 25 percent of parliamentary seats, a de 
     facto veto over constitutional reform, authority over 
     multiple government ministries, and the ability to operate 
     with impunity and no civilian oversight.
       (3) Despite some improvements with respect for human rights 
     and fundamental freedoms beginning in 2010, and the 
     establishment of a quasi-civilian government following 
     credible elections in 2015, Burma's military leaders have, 
     since 2016, overseen an increase in restrictions to freedom 
     of expression (including for members of the press), freedom 
     of peaceful assembly, freedom of association, and freedom of 
     religion or belief.
       (4) On August 25, 2017, Burmese military and security 
     forces launched a genocidal military campaign against 
     Rohingya, resulting in a mass exodus of some 750,000 Rohingya 
     from Burma's Rakhine State into Bangladesh, where they 
     remain. The military has since taken no steps to improve 
     conditions for Rohingya still in Rakhine State, who remain at 
     high risk of genocide and other atrocities, or to create 
     conditions conducive to the voluntary return of Rohingya 
     refugees and other internally displaced persons (IDPs).
       (5) The Burmese military has also engaged in renewed 
     violence with other ethnic minority groups across the 
     country. The military has continued to commit atrocities in 
     Chin, Kachin, Kayah, and Shan. Fighting in northern Burma has 
     forced more than 100,000 people from their homes and into 
     camps for internally displaced persons. The Burmese military 
     continues to heavily proscribe humanitarian and media access 
     to conflict-affected populations across the country.
       (6) With more nearly $470,000,000 in humanitarian 
     assistance in response to the crisis in fiscal year 2021, the 
     United States is the largest humanitarian donor to 
     populations in need as a result of conflicts in Burma. In May 
     2021, the United States announced nearly $155,000,000 in 
     additional humanitarian assistance to meet the urgent needs 
     of Rohingya refugees and host communities in Bangladesh and 
     people affected by ongoing violence in Burma's Rakhine, 
     Kachin, Shan, and Chin states. In September 2021, the United 
     States provided nearly $180,000,000 in additional critical 
     humanitarian assistance to the people of Burma, bringing the 
     total fiscal year 2021 to more than $434,000,000.
       (7) Both government- and military-initiated investigations 
     into human rights abuses in Burma involving violence between 
     ethnic minorities and Burmese security forces have failed to 
     yield credible results or hold perpetrators accountable.
       (8) In its report dated September 17, 2018, the United 
     Nations Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on 
     Myanmar concluded, on reasonable grounds, that the factors 
     allowing inference of ``genocidal intent'' are present with 
     respect to the attacks against Rohingya in Rakhine State, and 
     acts by Burmese security forces against Rohingya in Rakhine 
     State and other ethnic minorities in Kachin and Shan States 
     amount to ``crimes against humanity'' and ``war crimes''. The 
     Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on Myanmar 
     established by the United Nations Human Rights Council 
     recommended that the United Nations Security Council ``should 
     ensure accountability for crimes under international law 
     committed in Myanmar, preferably by referring the situation 
     to the International Criminal Court or alternatively by 
     creating an ad hoc international criminal tribunal''. The 
     Mission also recommended the imposition of targeted economic 
     sanctions, including an arms embargo on Burma.
       (9) On December 13, 2018, the United States House of 
     Representatives passed House Resolution 1091 (115th 
     Congress), which expressed the sense of the House that ``the 
     atrocities committed against the Rohingya by the Burmese 
     military and security forces since August 2017 constitute 
     crimes against humanity and genocide'' and called upon the 
     Secretary of State to review the available evidence and make 
     a similar determination.
       (10) In a subsequent report dated August 5, 2019, the 
     United Nations Independent International Fact-Finding Mission 
     on Myanmar found that the Burmese military's economic 
     interests ``enable its conduct'' and that it benefits from 
     and supports extractive industry businesses operating in 
     conflict-affected areas in northern Burma, including natural 
     resources, particularly oil and gas, minerals and gems and 
     argued that ``through controlling its own business empire, 
     the Tatmadaw can evade the accountability and oversight that 
     normally arise from civilian oversight of military budgets''. 
     The report called for the United Nations and individual 
     governments to place targeted sanctions on all senior 
     officials in the Burmese military as well as their economic 
     interests, especially Myanma Economic Holdings Limited and 
     Myanmar Economic Corporation.
       (11) Burma's November 2020 election resulted in a landslide 
     victory for the National League of Democracy, with the 
     National League for Democracy winning a large majority of 
     seats in Burma's national parliament. The elections were 
     judged to be credible, and marked an important step in the 
     country's democratic transition.
       (12) On February 1, 2021, the Burmese military conducted a 
     coup d'etat, declaring a year-long state of emergency and 
     detaining State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi, President Win 
     Myint, and dozens of other government officials and elected 
     members of parliament, thus derailing Burma's transition to 
     democracy and disregarding the will of the people of Burma as 
     expressed in the November 2020 general elections, which were 
     determined to be credible by international and national 
     observers.
       (13) Following the coup, some ousted members of parliament 
     established the Committee Representing the Pyidaungsu Hluttaw 
     (CRPH), which subsequently established the National Unity 
     Consultative Council in March of 2021. The National Unity 
     Consultative Council includes representatives from a broad 
     spectrum of stakeholders in Burma opposed to the military and 
     the coup: elected representatives from the CRPH, 
     representatives from the ethnic armed organizations, members 
     of Burma's civil disobedience movement, and other anti-coup 
     forces.
       (14) The CRPH subsequently released the Federal Democracy 
     Charter in March 2021 and established the National Unity 
     Government in April 2021. The National Unity Government 
     includes representatives from ethnic minority groups, civil 
     society organizations, women's groups, leaders of the civil 
     disobedience movement, and others.
       (15) Since the coup on February 1, 2021, the Burmese 
     military has--
       (A) used lethal force on peaceful protestors on multiple 
     occasions, killing more than 2,000 people, including more 
     than 142 children;
       (B) detained more than 10,000 peaceful protestors, 
     participants in the Civil Disobedience Movement, labor 
     leaders, government officials and elected members of 
     parliament, members of the media, and others, according to 
     the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners;
       (C) issued laws and directives used to further impede 
     fundamental freedoms, including freedom of expression 
     (including for members of the press), freedom of peaceful 
     assembly, and freedom of association; and
       (D) imposed restrictions on the internet and 
     telecommunications.
       (16) According to the UNHCR, more than 758,000 people have 
     been internally displaced since the coup, while an estimated 
     40,000 have sought refuge in neighboring countries. 
     Nevertheless, the Burmese military continues to block 
     humanitarian assistance to populations in need. According to 
     the World Health Organization, the military has carried out 
     more than 286 attacks on health care entities since the coup 
     and killed at least 30 health workers. Dozens more have been 
     arbitrarily detained, and hundreds have warrants out for 
     their arrest. The military continued such attacks even as 
     they inhibited efforts to combat a devastating third wave of 
     COVID-19. The brutality of the Burmese military was on full 
     display on March 27, 2021, Armed Forces Day, when, after 
     threatening on state television to shoot protesters in the 
     head, security forces killed more than 150 people.
       (17) The coup represents a continuation of a long pattern 
     of violent and anti-democratic behavior by the military that 
     stretches back decades, with the military having previously 
     taken over Burma in coups d'etat in 1962 and 1988, and having 
     ignored the results of the 1990 elections, and a long history 
     of violently repressing protest movements, including killing 
     and imprisoning thousands of peaceful protestors during pro-
     democracy demonstrations in 1988 and 2007.
       (18) On February 11, 2021, President Biden issued Executive 
     Order 14014 in response to the coup d'etat, authorizing 
     sanctions against the Burmese military, its economic 
     interests, and other perpetrators of the coup.
       (19) Since the issuance of Executive Order 14014, President 
     Biden has taken several steps to impose costs on the Burmese 
     military and its leadership, including by designating or 
     otherwise imposing targeted sanctions with respect to--
       (A) multiple high-ranking individuals and their family 
     members, including the Commander-in-Chief of the Burmese 
     military, Min Aung Hlaing, Burma's Chief of Police, Than 
     Hlaing, and the Bureau of Special Operations commander, 
     Lieutenant General Aung Soe, and over 35 other individuals;
       (B) state-owned and military controlled companies, 
     including Myanma Economic Holdings Public Company, Ltd., 
     Myanmar Economic Corporation, Ltd., Myanmar Economic Holdings 
     Ltd., Myanmar Ruby Enterprise, Myanmar Imperial Jade Co., 
     Ltd., and Myanma Gems Enterprise; and
       (C) other corporate entities, Burmese military units, and 
     Burmese military entities, including the military regime's 
     State Administrative Council.
       (20) The United States has also implemented new 
     restrictions on exports and reexports to Burma pursuant to 
     Executive Order 14014; and
       (21) On April 24, 2021, the Association of Southeast Asian 
     Nations (ASEAN) agreed to a five-point consensus which called 
     for an ``immediate cessation of violence'', ``constructive 
     dialogue among all parties'', the appointment of an ASEAN 
     special envoy, the provision of humanitarian assistance 
     through ASEAN's AHA Centre, and a visit by the ASEAN special 
     envoy to Burma. Except for the appointment of the Special 
     Envoy in

[[Page H6556]]

     August 2021, the other elements of the ASEAN consensus remain 
     unimplemented due to obstruction by the Burmese military.
       (22) In June 2021, the National Unity Government included 
     ethnic minorities and women among its cabinet and released a 
     policy paper outlining pledges to Rohingya and calling for 
     ``justice and reparations'' for the community. The statement 
     affirms the Rohingya right to citizenship in Burma, a 
     significant break from past Burmese government policies.
       (23) On March 21, 2022, Secretary of State Antony Blinken 
     announced that the United States had concluded that ``members 
     of the Burmese military committed genocide and crimes against 
     humanity against Rohingya''.

     SEC. 5912. STATEMENT OF POLICY.

     meaningfully address long-standing structural challenges that 
     undermine the safety and rights of Rohingya in Rakhine State 
     as well as members of other ethnic and religious minorities 
     in Burma, including by promoting the creation of conditions 
     for the dignified, safe, sustainable, and voluntary return of 
     refugees in Bangladesh, Thailand, and in the surrounding 
     region when conditions allow;
       (12) to support an immediate end to restrictions that

     forcibly segregate Rohingya, and providing humanitarian 
     support for all internally displaced persons in Burma;
       (13) to support unfettered access for humanitarian actors,

       (A) officials in Burma, including the Commander in Chief of 
     the Armed Forces of Burma, Min Aung Hlaing, and all

     section 202(a), under the authorities provided by title II, 
     Executive Order 14014, and the Global Magnitsky Human Rights

     Lantos Block Burmese JADE (Junta's Anti-Democratic Efforts)

     of a civilian government in Burma, or the national interest

     entities or individuals are carefully targeted to maximize 
     impact on the military and security forces of Burma and its 
     economic interests while minimizing impact on the people of 
     Burma, recognizing the calls from the people of Burma for the 
     United States to take action against the sources of income 
     for the military and security forces of Burma.

                   RESPECT TO BURMA.

       (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the United Nations Security Council has not taken 
     adequate steps to condemn the February 1, 2021, coup in 
     Burma, pressure the Burmese military to cease its violence 
     against civilians, or secure the release of those unjustly 
     detained; and
       (2) countries, such as the People's Republic of China and 
     the Russian Federation, that are directly or indirectly 
     shielding the Burmese military from international scrutiny 
     and action, should be obliged to endure the reputational 
     damage of doing so by taking public votes on resolutions 
     related to Burma that apply greater pressure on the Burmese 
     military to restore Burma to its democratic path.
       (3) The United Nations Secretariat and the United Nations 
     Security Council should take concrete steps to address the 
     coup and ongoing crisis in Burma consistent with the UN 
     General Assembly resolution 75/287, ``The situation in 
     Myanmar,'' which was adopted on June 18, 2021.

     the United States Permanent Representative to the United 
     Nations to use the voice, vote, and influence of the United 
     States to spur greater action by the United Nations and the

       (1) pushing the United Nations Security Council to consider 
     a resolution condemning the February 1, 2021, coup and 
     calling on the Burmese military to cease its violence against 
     the people of Burma and release without preconditions the 
     journalists, pro-democracy activists, and political officials 
     that it has unjustly detained;
       (2) pushing the United Nations Security Council to consider 
     a resolution that immediately imposes a global arms embargo 
     against Burma to ensure that the Burmese military is not able 
     to obtain weapons and munitions from other nations to further 
     harm, murder, and oppress the people of Burma;
       (3) pushing the United Nations and other United Nations 
     authorities to cut off assistance to the Government of Burma 
     while providing humanitarian assistance directly to the 
     people of Burma through UN bodies and civil society 
     organizations, particularly such organizations working with 
     ethnic minorities that have been adversely affected by the 
     coup and the Burmese military's violent crackdown;
       (4) objecting to the appointment of representatives to the 
     United Nations and United Nations bodies such as the Human 
     Rights Council that are sanctioned by the Burmese military;
       (5) working to ensure the Burmese military is not 
     recognized as the legitimate government of Burma in any 
     United Nations body; and
       (6) spurring the United Nations Security Council to 
     consider multilateral sanctions against the Burmese military 
     for its atrocities against Rohingya and individuals of other 
     ethnic and religious minorities, its coup, and the crimes 
     against humanity it has and continues to commit in the coup's 
     aftermath.

     Act.
       (b) Certification for Early Sunset of Sanctions.--Sanctions 
     imposed under this title may be removed before the date 
     specified in subsection (a), if the President submits to the 
     appropriate congressional committees a certification that--
       (1) the Burmese military has released all political 
     prisoners taken into custody on or after February 1, 2021, or 
     is providing legal recourse to those that remain in custody;
       (2) the elected government has been reinstated or new free 
     and fair elections have been held;
       (3) all legal charges against those winning election in 
     November 2020 are dropped; and
       (4) the 2008 constitution of Burma has been amended or

     leaders and human rights defenders who speak out about 
     military abuses and their impact on civilian populations; and

         Amendment No. 616 Offered by Mr. Schneider of Illinois

       At the end of title LVIII, add the following:

     SEC. 58__. POLICY REGARDING DEVELOPMENT OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS BY 
                   IRAN.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) Congress and several successive Presidential 
     administrations have long sought to prevent Iran from ever 
     acquiring a nuclear weapon.
       (2) It is currently estimated that Iran is almost to the 
     point of having enough highly-enriched nuclear material to 
     produce a nuclear weapon, if further enriched.
       (3) On March 3, 2020, the International Atomic Energy 
     Agency (IAEA) Director General reported to the Agency's Board 
     of Governors that nuclear material was found at three 
     previously undisclosed locations in Iran.
       (4) The IAEA reported it began investigating this matter 
     pursuant to Iran's IAEA safeguards obligations in 2019.
       (5) On March 5, 2022, the IAEA and the Atomic Energy 
     Organization of Iran announced an agreement wherein Iran 
     committed to provide the IAEA with information and documents 
     in response to the IAEA's questions related to uranium 
     particles discovered at undeclared sites in Iran.
       (6) On June 6, 2022, the Director General of the IAEA 
     stated that ``Iran has not provided explanations that are 
     technically credible in relation to the Agency's findings at 
     three undeclared locations in Iran. Nor has Iran informed the 
     Agency of the current location, or locations, of the nuclear 
     material and/or of the equipment contaminated with nuclear 
     material, that was moved from Turquzabad in 2018.''.
       (7) On June 8, 2022, the IAEA Board of Governors 
     overwhelmingly adopted a resolution calling on Iran to 
     cooperate with the IAEA on an urgent basis to fulfil its 
     safeguards obligations and expressing profound concern with 
     Iran's insufficient substantive cooperation thus far, with 30 
     Board Members voting in favor, two voting against, and three 
     abstaining.
       (8) The IAEA Board of Governors's resolution called upon 
     Iran to ``act on an urgent basis to fulfill its legal 
     obligations and, without delay, take up the Director 
     General's offer of further engagement to clarify and resolve 
     all outstanding safeguards issues.''.
       (9) Shortly before the IAEA Board of Governors's vote 
     adopting the resolution, Iran announced it would remove 27 
     IAEA cameras installed to monitor the separate issue of 
     Iran's JCPOA commitments at certain Iranian facilities and 
     Iran has since followed through on disconnecting these 
     cameras.
       (10) Following the vote of the IAEA Board of Governors, 
     Iran informed the IAEA it would install additional cascades 
     of advanced IR-6 centrifuges at its Natanz facility;
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     it--
       (1) reiterates its commitment to ensuring Iran will never 
     acquire a nuclear weapon;
       (2) supports the important work of the IAEA in safeguarding 
     nuclear material around the globe;
       (3) condemns Iran for its lack of transparency and 
     meaningful cooperation with the IAEA on the unresolved matter 
     of uranium particles discovered at undeclared sites in Iran 
     and additional escalatory actions related to its nuclear 
     program; and
       (4) applauds the IAEA Board of Governors' resolution urging

       Page 1262, after line 23, insert the following:

     SEC. 5403. REVIEW OF FHA SMALL-DOLLAR MORTGAGE PRACTICES.

       (a) Congressional Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) affordable homeownership opportunities are being 
     hindered due to the lack of financing available for home 
     purchases under $100,000;
       (2) according to the Urban Institute, small-dollar mortgage 
     loan applications in 2017 were denied by lenders at double 
     the rate of denial for large mortgage loans, and this 
     difference in denial rates cannot be fully explained by 
     differences in the applicants' credit profiles;
       (3) according to data compiled by Attom Data solutions, 
     small-dollar mortgage originations have decreased 38 percent 
     since 2009, while there has been a 65-percent increase in 
     origination of mortgages for more than $150,000;
       (4) the FHA's mission is to serve creditworthy borrowers 
     who are underserved and, according to the Urban Institute, 
     the FHA serves 24 percent of the overall market, but only 19 
     percent of the small-dollar mortgage market; and
       (5) the causes behind these variations are not fully 
     understood, but merit study that could assist in furthering 
     the Department of Housing and Urban Development's mission, 
     including meeting the housing needs of borrowers the program 
     is designed to serve and reducing barriers to homeownership, 
     while protecting the solvency of the Mutual Mortgage 
     Insurance Fund.
       (b) Review.--The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development 
     shall conduct a review of its FHA single-family mortgage 
     insurance policies, practices, and products to identify any 
     barriers or impediments to supporting, facilitating, and 
     making available mortgage insurance for small dollar 
     mortgages, as defined by the Secretary. Not later than the 
     expiration of the 12-month period beginning on the date of 
     the enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall submit a 
     report to the Congress describing the findings of such review 
     and the actions that the Secretary will take, without 
     adversely affecting the solvency of the Mutual Mortgage 
     Insurance Fund, to remove such barriers and impediments to 
     providing mortgage insurance for such mortgages.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 1224, the 
gentleman from Washington (Mr. Smith) and the gentleman from Alabama 
(Mr. Rogers) each will control 15 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Washington.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I have no speakers at this time 
on this amendment and I am prepared to close.
  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I intend to support the en bloc 
package even though it is not in our jurisdiction.
  At this time, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from California (Mr. 
Issa), my friend and colleague.
  Mr. ISSA. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding time.
  Mr. Speaker, 2 minutes is not enough time to describe the fog of war. 
Two minutes is not enough time to describe a level of heroism that 
occurred more than half a century ago over the waters of North Korea.
  But today, one of the amendments en bloc will, in fact, recognize for 
the Congressional Medal of Honor the unsung hero of that war. Royce 
Williams, who took on six MiGs of superior capability all by himself, 
and defended the entire fleet on behalf of himself, came home to his 
aircraft carrier with over 200 holes in his aircraft, landed it at 
almost twice the speed that aircraft would be able to land, and his 
record was impounded in secrecy and classified for decades.
  Only now, after the Soviet Union fell, can we begin to understand his 
heroism and his success.
  Today, on behalf of all the members of the San Diego delegation of 
both parties who support this amendment, on behalf of the more than 100 
flag officers who have signed on recommending that he receive the Medal 
of Honor, I am proud to say that it has been ruled in order, and I 
thank all those involved in bringing it to the floor.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my 
time.
  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I intend to support this package, 
and I urge its adoption.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of 
my time not to speak on the en bloc, but this is the last opportunity 
to speak about the bill.
  We are going to have three other amendments after this en bloc, so I 
just want to do a quick closing and urge all Members to vote in favor 
of the bill.
  You have seen the process play out. I think this has been an 
incredibly inclusive process, starting in the committee in a bipartisan 
way and moving to the floor, where we have had the opportunity for all 
Members to contribute and participate in this process.
  I think we have a good product that is going to enable us to continue 
to exercise our oversight of the Pentagon, fulfill our duties as 
Members of Congress, and support the men and women of our Armed Forces 
in carrying out the missions that we ask them to do. I urge Members to 
support the bill.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Alabama (Mr. 
Rogers) for his closing remarks.
  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I thank the chairman for his 
leadership in this endeavor. This is a very important piece of 
legislation, a very bipartisan product, and I hope that our colleagues 
on both sides of the aisle will join the chairman and I in giving final 
passage to this important piece of legislation.
  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, in closing, I urge all Members 
to support the defense bill. I appreciate the staff and everybody who 
worked on the effort. I recognize the Rules Committee staff, the Armed 
Services Committee staff, the floor staff, and the Parliamentarians who 
are the ones who have to process those 1,200 amendments, figure out how 
to write them out, how to make sure we are doing it right.
  I don't understand fully how you are able to do that, so I very much 
appreciate that you do, and we get a good product at the end of it. I 
think we have all participated in a good process. I urge Members to 
support the bill.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to express my opposition to 
Amendment No. 554 to H.R. 7900 Offered by Mr. Langevin of Rhode Island.
  I think we can all agree that increasing cybersecurity coordination 
across different sectors is an important goal. However, I have concerns 
with the functions of the Interagency Council for Critical 
Infrastructure Cybersecurity Coordination. I am concerned that this 
amendment is assigning the Council tasks that it does not have the 
qualifications to complete.
  The Council is charged with reviewing existing regulatory authorities 
that could be used to strengthen cybersecurity for critical 
infrastructure. It is also supposed to identify regulatory gaps that 
could invite cybersecurity risks to critical infrastructure and develop 
legislative proposals to resolve such regulatory gaps.
  I am worried the Council does not have the expertise to review 
regulations and propose legislation for our critical infrastructure. 
While I appreciate that the Council will include representatives from 
Sector Risk Management Agencies and potentially other federal 
departments and agencies as determined by the Secretary of National 
Cyber Security, I am concerned that each councilmember's expertise 
within a given sector or within cybersecurity generally is not adequate 
to perform this regulatory assessment or potential legislative 
proposals required by this bill.
  For example, I do not agree that a councilmember whose expertise is 
in the financial sector should be reviewing regulations of the dams 
sector. Nor should the councilmember for the dams sector be proposing 
legislation for the health and public health sector.
  While I understand that there are commonalities to cybersecurity 
risks posed to different sectors, the regulatory and statutory 
regimes--including those related to cybersecurity--must account for the 
unique operations of each sector, the type of actors in each sector, 
and technical feasibility within each sector.
  Therefore, I oppose the creation of the Interagency Council for 
Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity Coordination as structured by 
this amendment. I urge my colleagues to oppose this amendment.
  Mr. SMITH of New Jersey. Mr. Speaker, the Smith-Norcross amendment to 
the Fiscal Year 2023 NDAA directs the Army Corps of Engineers to ensure 
high-quality workmanship on federal construction projects by providing 
each of their districts with clarifying, uniform guidance and to 
enforce compliance more strongly with already existing laws--especially 
the Davis-Bacon Act--that mandate proper worker classification and the 
corresponding wages.
  Additionally, it requires the Corps to investigate worker 
classification complaints and third-party related complaints within 30 
days of filings and reaffirms transparency and disclosure requirements 
for certified payroll reports.
  For years, we have witnessed disingenuous contractors purposely hire 
underqualified workers for military construction projects and put them 
in high-skilled jobs for which they lack the needed expertise--a 
practice known as ``worker misclassification''. These contractors 
dishonestly undercut their more skilled, better-value competitors, only 
to have those important projects mismanaged, understaffed, delayed, 
unfinished, and in some cases, rebid--then properly redone by high-
skilled tradesmen and women who should have gotten the job in the first 
place.
  There are two different types of misclassification: craft 
misclassification and independent contractor misclassification. Craft 
misclassification occurs when dishonest contractors misclassify high-
skilled workers as general laborers or lower wage classifications in 
order to avoid paying the higher prevailing wage rate applicable to the 
high-skilled work actually performed. Independent contractor 
misclassification occurs when contractors misclassify employees as 
independent contractors to avoid paying prevailing wages thereby 
reducing labor costs and avoiding state and federal taxes.
  These practices deny workers of their rights to critical benefits and 
protections, including

[[Page H6583]]

prevailing wages, worker's compensation, and unemployment insurance; 
and communities suffer because misclassification results in lower tax 
revenues for federal, state, and local governments.
  Additionally, the end product is often compromised by shoddy 
workmanship which can lead to do-overs and substantial cost overruns.
  Congress has passed laws to prevent such problems and punish the 
offenders. The Davis-Bacon Act is critical in this effort as it 
requires contractors working on certain federally funded construction 
projects to pay their workers a prevailing wage to ensure that our 
federal projects are completed by skilled workers who have been 
properly trained, classified, and paid according to their expertise and 
locality. The Act stands as a check and balance designed to protect 
employees from low-wage, low-bidding contractors who look to do the job 
cheaply while hurting the workers and the client, i.e. the federal 
taxpayer.
  When it comes to domestic construction projects, the Army Corps of 
Engineers procures more than most divisions of the Department of 
Defense. As recently as 2019, the Corps obligated over $11 billion for 
domestic construction contracts, according to the Government 
Accountability Office (GAO)--the federal government's ``watchdog'' 
agency.
  Each federal agency is primarily responsible for enforcing the Davis-
Bacon protections at its construction worksites. The Army Corps has a 
lot of construction projects and federal construction monies to 
properly oversee. Unfortunately, federal construction projects in my 
district, including Army Corps projects at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-
Lakehurst--have fallen short in oversight and compliance and have run 
into trouble with unqualified, subpar bidders who avoid hiring needed 
skilled workers. We have seen cases of sophisticated work--HVAC, 
plumbing and sheet metal--needing to be ripped up and redone after the 
irresponsible bidders failed to properly do the work.
  To combat this persistent problem and ensure these important laws are 
being enforced, in 2019, Congress passed an amendment I authored, 
cosponsored by Congressman Norcross, to the 2020 NDAA directing the GAO 
to study the contracting practices of the Corps with a focus on the 
monitoring and enforcement of the Davis-Bacon Act.
  The GAO conducted its audit from May 2020 to March 2021 examining 
Corps guidance, relevant documents about the Davis-Bacon Act, 
Department of Labor guidance and other relevant laws and regulations. 
They conducted semi-structured interviews in four Army Corps district 
offices--Louisville, New Orleans, New York and Walla Walla--based on 
the district's activities and representing ``various geographical areas 
in the U.S. and a mixture of volume and type of construction contracts 
(e.g. military and civil projects)''. They interviewed Corps 
headquarters officials, DOL officials and four external groups 
including two labor unions and two trade associations.
  The GAO said that ``monitoring, including payroll reviews and on-site 
inspections, are key to ensuring that the Corps enforces contractor's 
compliance with the Davis-Bacon Act''.
  But the report also described implementation inconsistencies across 
the various districts that can easily lead to gaps in compliance with 
Davis-Bacon.
  The GAO concluded that aspects of the reviews and on-site inspections 
``may not be sufficient.'' They found that ``Corps documents lack 
information'' and said that ``In the absence of directions to 
consistently document on-the-ground conditions, like the number of 
employees on site'' district officials ``may not be fully using on-site 
inspection to ensure contractors' compliance with the [Davis-Bacon] 
Act.''
  Ultimately, the GAO recommended that the Army Corps provide 
clarifying information on how they conduct payroll reviews and document 
on-site inspections to ensure the proper monitoring of the number of 
workers and work performed.
  More work remains to be done to implement these recommendations and 
crack down on this harmful practice.
  Today's amendment addresses those problems and instructs the Corps' 
to fully comply with relevant federal laws and regulations for: 
building quality facilities--labs, hangars, housing, and workspaces--
for our military men and women; providing an honest wage for 
construction workers; and providing the best investment for the 
taxpayer.
  Mr. Speaker, working with partners such as the AFL-CIO, North 
America's Building Trades Unions, New Jersey trades like the IBEW and 
the Plumbers and Pipefitters, and my friend, Congressman Norcross, we 
can finally ensure that military construction is done with the best 
possible workmanship, that we make best use of the hardworking 
Americans' taxpayer dollars, and that the men and women who work with 
our military are treated fairly.

  Mr. LYNCH. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of En Bloc 5 to H.R. 7900, 
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023, which 
includes my two final amendments to this legislation. These additional 
provisions will strengthen how we enforce U.S. sanctions and provide 
the Congress with vital information about the China-Afghan economic 
relationship.
  Amendment No. 561 establishes the Office of Foreign Assets Control 
(OFAC) Exchange within OFAC. This voluntary public-private partnership 
would advance information sharing between law enforcement agencies, 
national security agencies, financial institutions, and OFAC. It would 
facilitate sanctions administration and enforcement that target foreign 
countries and regimes, terrorists, international narcotics traffickers, 
and other threats to national security, foreign policy, or the U.S. 
economy. This collaboration will allow for U.S. economic and trade 
sanctions to be better administered and enforced, and, ultimately, make 
them more effective.
  Amendment No. 562 would require the Secretary of the Treasury to 
brief the Congress on the identification and analysis of Chinese 
economic, commercial, and financial connections to Afghanistan which 
fuel both Chinese and Taliban interests, to include illicit financial 
networks involved in narcotics trafficking, illicit financial 
transactions, official corruption, natural resources exploitation, and 
terrorist networks. Earlier this year, China, among other nations, 
pledged to deepen its economic and trade ties with Afghanistan through 
the so-called ``Tunxi Initiative.'' However, China has a history of 
seeking to increase its influence through development and economic 
assistance that completely ignores, or even undermines, rule of law, 
independent civil society, and protection of human rights. After all 
that the United States has invested and sacrificed in Afghanistan, it 
is vital that Congress understand the extent of China's connections, 
and intentions, in Afghanistan so we can respond accordingly.
  Once again I would like to express my sincerest thanks to Armed 
Services Committee Chairman Adam Smith, Ranking Member Mike Rogers, and 
their staffs for including my amendments in this last En Bloc. I would 
urge all my colleagues to vote in favor of this final En Bloc.
  Mr. SABLAN. Mr. Speaker, my amendment No. 606, which is included in 
En Bloc 5, creates a VA advisory committee for veterans living in the 
U.S. insular areas and in the Freely Associated States. Veterans in my 
district, especially, and in the other insular areas, too, face 
barriers to VA services no vet should be forced to endure.
  My amendment creates a Department of Veterans Affairs advisory 
committee representing veterans living in the U.S. insular areas of the 
Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, American Samoa, Puerto Rico, and the 
U.S. Virgin Islands as well as the Freely Associated States of Palau, 
Marshall Islands, and the Federated States of Micronesia.
  In my district, the Northern Mariana Islands, there are no VA clinics 
and no Vet Centers. Veterans there sometimes fly 3,700 miles to Hawai'i 
or over 6,000 miles to California to access VA services. Even reaching 
VA services in nearby Guam is a challenge.
  That is why my amendment, establishing a committee to educate the 
Secretary of Veterans Affairs on the obstacles insular area veterans 
face, is so important. Each U.S. insular area and each of the three 
Freely Associated States would have a seat on the advisory committee. 
They would be able to describe the barriers their veterans face in 
receiving VA services.
  Establishing an advisory committee will not solve every logistical 
problem for veterans who live in geographically remote areas of 
America. But, at least, those veterans on the margins will have a way 
to communicate directly with the Secretary of Veterans Affairs on how 
to improve VA programs and services in their communities.
  This amendment is, with minor technical changes, the same legislation 
as H.R. 3730, which passed in the House last fall with strong 
bipartisan support. The American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Iraq 
and Afghanistan Veterans of America, Disabled American Veterans, and 
Minority Veterans of America have endorsed the legislation.
  I ask my colleagues to support En Bloc 5.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution Number 1224, 
the previous question is ordered on the amendments en bloc offered by 
the gentleman from Washington (Mr. Smith).
  The question is on the amendments en bloc.
  The en bloc amendments were agreed to.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.


                 Amendment No. 587 Offered by Ms. Meng

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 
587 printed in part A of House Report 117-405.
  Ms. MENG. Mr. Speaker, I have an amendment at the desk.

[[Page H6584]]

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       At the end of title LI of division E, insert the following 
     new section:

     SEC. 51__. DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS AWARENESS CAMPAIGN 
                   ON FERTILITY SERVICES.

       (a) Awareness Campaign.--The Secretary of Veterans Affairs 
     shall conduct an awareness campaign regarding the types of 
     fertility treatments, procedures, and services covered under 
     the medical benefits package of the Department of Veterans 
     Affairs that are available to veterans experiencing issues 
     with fertility.
       (b) Modes of Outreach.--In carrying out subsection (a), the 
     Secretary shall ensure that a variety of modes of outreach 
     are incorporated into the awareness campaign under such 
     subsection, taking into consideration the age range of the 
     veteran population.
       (c) Report.--Not later than 180 days after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall submit to the 
     appropriate congressional committees a report that includes a 
     summary of the actions that have been taken to implement the 
     awareness campaign under subsection (a) and how the Secretary 
     plans to better engage women veterans, to ensure awareness of 
     such veterans regarding covered fertility services available.
       (d) Appropriate Congressional Committees Defined.--In this 
     section, the term ``appropriate congressional committees'' 
     means--
       (1) the Committees on Armed Services of the House of 
     Representatives and the Senate; and
       (2) the Committees on Veterans' Affairs of the House of 
     Representatives and the Senate.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 1224, the 
gentlewoman from New York (Ms. Meng) and a Member opposed each will 
control 5 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from New York.
  Ms. MENG. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  My amendment requires the VA to conduct an outreach campaign to 
veterans to make them aware of the full range of fertility treatments, 
procedures, and services covered under the VA's medical benefits 
package.
  I emphasize that this amendment was included in the fiscal year 2022 
House-passed NDAA as part of an en bloc package and received 
overwhelming support from both sides of the aisle.
  Our veterans, who served our country honorably, deserve every 
opportunity to begin the family of their dreams. A study released last 
year on reproductive-aged veteran women found that the rate of 
infertility among veterans is more than 50 percent higher than among 
the general female population.
  For years, the VA has provided a range of fertility treatments and 
services to veterans. Many veterans have brought to my attention the 
issue that because they are unaware of the fertility services covered 
by the VA, they instead seek out expensive private care to help them 
begin a family.
  This amendment is simple. We provide critical funding to the VA to 
offer comprehensive medical care to our veterans. The VA should be 
doing outreach to all veterans to ensure that they are fully aware of 
the critical healthcare services covered by the VA.
  Those who have served our country honorably and now struggle with 
infertility as a result of their service deserve assistance in trying 
to build a family.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. BOST. Mr. Speaker, I claim time in opposition.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes.
  Mr. BOST. Mr. Speaker, this amendment would direct the VA to conduct 
an awareness campaign regarding types of fertility treatments, 
procedures, and services that are available to veterans.
  While I do agree that all veterans should be made aware of the care 
and services covered under the earned VA medical benefits package, I 
must oppose this inclusion of the amendment in the NDAA.
  I cannot support an outreach campaign that champions a process like 
in vitro fertilization, a process that creates life in a petri dish and 
then either destroys, discards, or forever freezes it on a shelf. This 
is not life-affirming. This is not right for veterans or their spouses 
or their children.
  Being a father is one of the highlights of my life. I wish every 
veteran could know the joy of parenthood, and I want to help veterans 
struggling with infertility to connect with life-affirming resources 
and support.
  I hope to work with my colleagues and fellow veterans to find a 
better way forward for veterans who are unable to conceive. Dropping an 
amendment into the NDAA is not the way forward, and for that reason, I 
am opposed to the amendment.
  Mr. Speaker, I mentioned earlier in my statement, I cannot support 
this amendment that promotes the provision of in vitro fertilization as 
part of the VA medical benefits package, and I urge Members to oppose 
the amendment.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 1224, the 
previous question is ordered on the amendment offered by the 
gentlewoman from New York (Ms. Meng).
  The question is on the amendment.
  The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that 
the ayes appeared to have it.
  Mr. BOST. Mr. Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3(s) of House Resolution 
8, the yeas and nays are ordered.
  Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, further proceedings on this question 
are postponed.

                Amendment No. 637 Offered by Mr. Takano

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 
637 printed in part A of House Report 117-405.
  Mr. TAKANO. Mr. 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 LI, insert the following:

     SEC. 51__. PROVISION OF HEALTH CARE BENEFITS FOR CERTAIN 
                   INDIVIDUALS WHO SERVED IN THE ARMED FORCES OF 
                   THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA.

       Section 109 of title 38, United States Code, is amended by 
     adding at the end the following new subsection:
       ``(d)(1) Any person described in paragraph (2) shall be 
     entitled to hospital and domiciliary care and medical 
     services within the United States under chapter 17 of this 
     title to the same extent as if the service described in such 
     paragraph had been performed in the Armed Forces of the 
     United States.
       ``(2) A person described in this paragraph is a person whom 
     the Secretary determines meets the following criteria:
       ``(A) The person served in Vietnam as a member of the armed 
     forces of the Republic of Korea at any time during the period 
     beginning on January 9, 1962, and ending on May 7, 1975, or 
     such other period as determined appropriate by the Secretary 
     for purposes of this subsection.
       ``(B) The person became a citizen of the United States on 
     or after the date on which such service in the armed forces 
     of the Republic of Korea ended.''.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 1224, the 
gentleman from California (Mr. Takano) and a Member opposed each will 
control 5 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from California.
  Mr. TAKANO. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of my amendment, which would 
correct a decades-long gap in VA's Allied Beneficiary Program by 
extending this program to South Korean veterans now living in the 
United States who served alongside the United States during the Vietnam 
war.
  For 63 years, veterans of allied forces from World Wars I and II have 
been able to enroll in VA healthcare. The U.K., Australia, France, New 
Zealand, and Canada have had reciprocal agreements with the United 
States, reimbursing the VA for care provided to their veterans and vice 
versa.
  In the 1970s, Congress also made veterans of the Czech and Polish 
Armed Forces who have been American citizens for at least 10 years 
eligible for VA healthcare. However, neither the Czech Republic nor 
Poland have reciprocal agreements with the United States, so VA is not 
reimbursed for the care provided to these veterans.
  Yet still today, veterans of the Republic of Korea who fought 
alongside us in the Vietnam war and then went on to become citizens of 
the United States are denied what their European counterparts already 
have: access to veteran-centric, high-quality care from VA.
  Over 300,000 Koreans fought alongside the United States in Vietnam. 
Thousands went on to build lives here and

[[Page H6585]]

become citizens, but today only 300 of these veterans are still living.
  However, despite their service as our allies in the Korean military, 
these Korean Americans are not recognized as U.S. veterans in theory or 
in title and are therefore not granted access to VA services under the 
law. They are also not covered by the Korean healthcare system while 
living here in the United States.
  Once they are naturalized United States citizens, they are recognized 
by South Korea as foreign nationals, with no benefits available to them 
in the United States. This is the decades-long inequity that this 
amendment would seek to address. This amendment is about supporting 
naturalized United States citizens as much as it is about sending a 
clear message to our allies abroad: If you serve alongside us in times 
of war, we will have your back.
  This is important not only to provide vital healthcare to veterans 
here in the United States but also to instill confidence in our country 
as an international partner and ally. Three hundred Korean Vietnam 
veterans, now Americans, are asking this country to respect their 
service as fully as we respect the service of our European allies.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this amendment, and I 
reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. BOST. Mr. Speaker, I claim time in opposition.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes.
  Mr. BOST. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Mr. Speaker, this amendment would provide access to VA medical care 
and services for veterans who served in the Armed Forces of the 
Republic of Korea during the Vietnam conflict.
  There are approximately 3,000 Korean veterans living in the U.S. as 
citizens and who served alongside American forces during the Vietnam 
conflict. This amendment would grant them eligibility to enroll in the 
VA healthcare system. This would create an inequity between these 
individuals and veterans of U.S. Armed Forces who are not currently 
eligible to enroll in the VA care.
  It would also create a disparity with the veterans of other allies of 
other conflicts who later became U.S. citizens. Ultimately, the 
amendment unfairly singles out one group of service above others. That 
is why I cannot support the amendment's inclusion in the NDAA.
  Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. TAKANO. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Mr. Speaker, I appreciate my friend, the ranking member of the 
Veterans' Affairs Committee, implying that he would be supportive of 
this if we included other categories and other cohorts of veterans in a 
similar place. I go along with that.
  I would be willing to work with the ranking member to address these 
other cohorts because I believe that we need to extend this particular 
offer to these others, but there is no reason for us not to act on this 
particular amendment because we have these 300 now-naturalized Korean-
American citizens who served with us in the Vietnam war who have 
critical health needs.
  Let us take care of these veterans now, but I pledge to work with the 
ranking member to address the other categories of naturalized American 
citizens who have served in a similar vein as our Czech Americans, our 
Polish Americans, and all of our other American allies.
  Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. BOST. Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the chairman's willingness to 
work on doing that as well, but this amendment itself being included in 
the NDAA will not take care of those others. I would like to work with 
him to make sure that everybody that needs to be included is included.
  Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. TAKANO. Mr. Speaker, again, I just urge that all Members of 
Congress support this amendment. The ranking member and I can work on 
the other classifications, other classes of veterans.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. BOST. Mr. Speaker, as I mentioned earlier in my statement, I 
cannot support the amendment that would provide benefits to one group 
of allied veterans before considering that same eligibility for all 
veterans. I appreciate the opportunity for the chairman to work with us 
to make sure that all the U.S. Armed Forces that have supported us over 
the years, that we can come to some sort of agreement.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge Members to oppose this amendment, and I yield 
back the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 1224, the 
previous question is ordered on the amendment offered by the gentleman 
from California (Mr. Takano).
  The question is on the amendment.
  The amendment was agreed to.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.


                 Amendment No. 650 Offered by Ms. Wild

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 
650 printed in part A of House Report 117-405.
  Ms. WILD. Mr. 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 LVIII, add the following:

     SEC. 58_. PROHIBITION ON CERTAIN ASSISTANCE TO THE 
                   PHILIPPINES.

       (a) In General.--No funds authorized to be appropriated or 
     otherwise made available to the Department of State are 
     authorized to be made available to provide assistance for the 
     Philippine National Police, including assistance in the form 
     of equipment or training, until the Secretary of State 
     certifies to the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of 
     Representatives and the Committee on Foreign Relations of the 
     Senate that the Government of the Philippines has--
       (1) investigated and successfully prosecuted members of the 
     Philippine National Police who have violated human rights, 
     ensured that police personnel cooperated with judicial 
     authorities in such cases, and affirmed that such violations 
     have ceased;
       (2) established that the Philippine National Police 
     effectively protects the rights of trade unionists, 
     journalists, human rights defenders, critics of the 
     government, faith and religious leaders, and other civil 
     society activists to operate without interference;
       (3) taken effective steps to guarantee a judicial system 
     that is capable of investigating, prosecuting, and bringing 
     to justice members of the police and military who have 
     committed human rights abuses; and
       (4) fully complied with domestic and United States audits 
     and investigations regarding the improper use of prior 
     security assistance.
       (b) Waiver.--The President may, on a case-by-case basis and 
     for periods not to exceed 180 days each, waive the 
     prohibition under subsection (a) if the President certifies 
     to the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of 
     Representatives and the Committee on Foreign Relations of the 
     Senate not later than 15 days before such waiver is to take 
     effect that such waiver is vital to the national security 
     interests of the United States or its partners and allies.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 1224, the 
gentlewoman from Pennsylvania (Ms. Wild) and a Member opposed each will 
control 5 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Pennsylvania.
  Ms. WILD. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Mr. Speaker, at its core what this amendment says is simple: After an 
estimated 30,000 extrajudicial killings in the Philippines between 2016 
and today, after the assassinations, arbitrary arrests, torture, and 
red tagging of labor organizers and opposition leaders, after former 
President Duterte's calls for assassinating politically engaged 
bishops, after the Philippines has been named year after year by the 
International Trade Union Confederation as one of the world's 10 most 
repressive countries for the labor movement and workers, the time is 
long overdue to begin putting some basic human rights guardrails in 
place in the United States-Philippines relationship.
  I believe our policy should be built on a clear principle: Our 
constituents' tax dollars should not be used to supply weapons, 
training, or any other assistance to state security forces that 
violently target political opponents, including a United States 
citizen, Brandon Lee, a human rights activist, who was shot by state 
security forces in 2019 and remains paralyzed from the chest down today 
as a result of that attack. Brandon deserves to know that his 
government stands with him, not with his attackers.
  I have made this point to the Trump administration, and I am making 
it to

[[Page H6586]]

the Biden administration. If we in the United States are going to say 
that we stand for human rights around the world, then we need to stand 
for human rights around the world, not just when it is politically 
convenient and not just when it is easy.
  Is it too much to ask that our country put some modest conditions on 
arming and assisting the security forces of an authoritarian government 
waging war on its own people?
  Is it too much to ask that our government side with workers and the 
labor movement here at home and around the world? With faith and 
religious leaders? With human rights activists and dissidents who are 
simply trying to build a free society?
  Those who oppose this amendment will claim that providing uncritical, 
unconditional assistance to the Philippines, regardless of the war its 
government is waging against its own population, is critical for our 
national security objective of countering China. But the need to 
counter the Chinese regime's authoritarianism on the international 
stage is precisely why it is so important that we maintain our 
credibility on human rights. It is why it is so vital that we do not 
undermine our own case for democracy and open ourselves up to charges 
of hypocrisy by supporting brutal regimes out of short-term political 
expediency.
  Let's pass this amendment and send a resounding signal to the world 
that we are prepared to make respect for human rights a cornerstone of 
U.S. foreign policy rather than an empty slogan that we yield 
arbitrarily.
  Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. CHABOT. Mr. Speaker, I claim time in opposition to the amendment.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes.
  Mr. CHABOT. Mr. Speaker, I would note if there has to be a Democrat 
in that seat, there is no Democrat I would rather see than the 
gentleman from New York. He is a fine gentleman who I have worked with 
over the years and respect greatly.
  As the ranking member of the Asia and Pacific Subcommittee and a co-
chair of the U.S.-Philippines Friendship Caucus, I would submit that 
our alliance with the Philippines is one of our most important 
relationships across the globe. We have partnered with them for over 70 
years now, and cooperation between our two nations is just as important 
today as it has ever been.
  In the face of territorial aggression in the South China Sea by the 
People's Liberation Army, which of course is the military wing of the 
Chinese Communist Party, the CCP, our partnership with the Philippines 
serves as a geostrategic counterweight to China. As Chairman Xi seeks 
to control international maritime trade routes, including key waterways 
like the Luzon Strait, the Philippines remains a critical partner in 
checking his nefarious ambitions.
  As with all our strongest alliances, our relationship with the 
Philippines extends beyond military affairs, for example, to 
cooperation in law enforcement. Our joint efforts with the Philippines 
in this regard are really critical to strengthening maritime security 
as well as tackling the evils of human trafficking and narcotics 
trafficking.
  Of course, we have all been appalled by former President Duterte's 
brutal drug war, particularly its extrajudicial killings. Such 
brutality was the primary reason why Congress suspended International 
Narcotics Control and Law Enforcement assistance to the Philippine 
National Police.
  However, it would be self-defeating to simply cut off all cooperation 
with Philippine law enforcement, as this amendment seeks to do. The 
amendment would end maritime law enforcement activities that strengthen 
U.S. national security. It would block joint efforts to pursue drug 
traffickers and child traffickers, and it would stop human rights and 
rule of law assistance.
  Fortunately, the June 30 inauguration of President Marcos is an 
opportunity to strengthen the U.S.-Philippines relationship to address 
not only threats to maritime security in the Indo-Pacific but also 
human rights and respect for rule of law.
  This amendment would undermine the Biden administration and those of 
us in Congress who are working towards these efforts. It would curtail 
cooperative efforts between our security forces at a time when Chairman 
Xi seeks to dismantle our more than 70-year mutual security partnership 
with the Philippines. It doesn't make sense.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues for all the reasons that I just 
mentioned to oppose this amendment, and I reserve the balance of my 
time.
  Ms. WILD. Mr. Speaker, my colleague across the aisle is arguing for 
the status quo. As I said before, it is critical for our own national 
security objectives of countering China that we maintain our 
credibility on human rights issues. It is absolutely vital that we do 
not undermine our own case for democracy.

                              {time}  1200

  If I have one message for all those who defend the status quo on this 
issue, all those who claim that we effectively need to choose between 
our security and our principles, it is this: It doesn't need to be this 
way. Abdicating our values makes us less secure in the long run. That 
is why I urge my colleagues to pass this amendment by a resounding 
margin and to cosponsor my bill, the Philippines Human Rights Act.
  The vote on this amendment is just a first step of what must be a 
sustained commitment to standing with the people of the Philippines. 
Together, we can finally begin shaping a U.S. policy toward the 
Philippines that is anchored in respect for human rights and human 
dignity, those of the people of the Philippines as well as those of our 
people and all people around the world.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. CHABOT. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time.
  Mr. Speaker, just to conclude and actually reiterate some of my 
previous remarks, I have been the co-chair of the Philippines 
Friendship Caucus, the Republican co-chair, along with my colleague  
Bobby Scott from Virginia, for quite a few years now. We were both 
appalled by President Duterte's looking the other way and actually 
probably being involved to some degree directly in the command of a lot 
of the extrajudicial killings as well as the loss of life and brutality 
that took place for quite a few years.
  We agreed with him on the war on drugs. Drugs kill far too many 
Filipinos and kill far too many Americans. But we do not agree on 
extrajudicial measures which take human life.
  However, this is an opportunity now, because that government is in 
the past, and we have a new government. This is a new opportunity to 
build up this relationship once again between these two key allies, the 
United States and the Philippines. It is an important relationship, 
particularly when one considers that our principal challenge across the 
globe right now is countering the nefarious actions of the CCP, the 
Chinese Communist Party.
  So I would urge my colleagues to oppose this amendment. Although well 
intentioned, I think ultimately it would do more harm than good.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to oppose it, and I yield back the 
balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Cuellar). Pursuant to House Resolution 
1224, the previous question is ordered on the amendment offered by the 
gentlewoman from Pennsylvania (Ms. Wild).
  The question is on the amendment.
  The amendment was agreed to.

 (By unanimous consent, Ms. PELOSI was allowed to speak out of order.)

                       Tribute to Jaime Lizarraga

  Ms. PELOSI. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor a departing member 
of my office, my longtime senior adviser, Jaime Lizarraga.
  This is a moment of great official pride as, last week, he was 
unanimously confirmed by the Senate to serve as a Commissioner of the 
Securities and Exchange Commission.
  His departure is also bittersweet for me, as he has been an 
invaluable member of our team for the last 15 years.
  All of those who have ever had the privilege of working with Jaime 
know firsthand, he is the model of an outstanding, patriotic public 
servant in a bipartisan way.
  He has dedicated his entire career to doing the people's work. He has 
excelled not only in my office but also on the House Financial Services 
Committee, where he worked with then-Chairman Barney Frank; at the 
Treasury Department; and as a staffer at the SEC.
  Indeed, President Biden's selection of Jaime to serve on the SEC is a 
testament to Jaime's deep expertise, strategic mind, and strong values.
  His unanimous confirmation in the Senate was a tremendous victory for 
working families and for the entire country.
  Here in the House, his masterful leadership was instrumental in 
enabling and enacting some of the most consequential economic 
legislation in a generation. During the financial meltdown of 2008, he 
helped stabilize the markets with the Troubled Assets Relief Program, 
TARP.
  In the wake of economic catastrophe, he also helped strengthen the 
oversight of Wall Street with the historic Dodd-Frank legislation.
  As COVID ravaged the Nation, he helped negotiate multiple relief 
packages that saved lives and spared livelihoods.
  For years, he has been a relentless champion in the Congress for 
restructuring Puerto Rico's debt, supporting affordable housing, 
reforming our immigration system, and building economic opportunity for 
all.
  Beyond his many impressive legislative achievements, Jaime is truly 
the embodiment of the American Dream. The proud son of immigrants from 
Mexico, he has never forgotten his parents' sacrifices to give him and 
his sister a brighter future. In that spirit, every day, he fights 
relentlessly to open doors of opportunity for every American family.
  Jaime's brilliance, expertise, and personal kindness will be sorely 
missed in my office and in Congress. But our Nation will greatly 
benefit from his continued public service at the SEC as he strives to 
build a fairer financial future for all.
  On behalf of the House, we congratulate Jaime on this remarkable 
achievement and wish him so much success in his new role. We send best 
wishes to him, his beloved wife, and his 5 dear children as they begin 
this exciting chapter.
  Congratulations, Jaime, and thank you for your service.
