                                  Iran

  Mr. CORNYN. Mr. President, tensions in the Middle East have escalated 
dramatically since Hamas, an Iranian-backed terrorist organization, 
launched its war on Israel on October 7 of last year, killing innocent 
men, women, and children and taking and still holding up to 132 
hostages.
  Over the last few months, another Iranian proxy--Iran-backed 
militias--intensified their attacks throughout the region.
  There are Houthis in Yemen, there is Hezbollah in Lebanon, and, of 
course, as I mentioned, there are the attacks against Americans and 
American interests by Iranian proxies in Iraq and Syria. These 
conflicts are playing out thousands of miles away from here, but we are 
not just a distant and disinterested spectator. Thousands of American 
troops are stationed in the region--not engaged in combat operations 
but in carrying out a range of security and intelligence missions and 
helping the residents and citizens of those nations defend themselves 
and

[[Page S332]]

provide a stabilizing force against what is the No. 1 state sponsor of 
terrorism, which is the Iranian regime.
  The presence of these American troops is vital to the stability of 
the region and, as I said, our own security interests. We may engage in 
wishful thinking, thinking that what happens over there doesn't affect 
us here. You would think that after 9/11--albeit it occurring some 23 
years ago now--it would have awakened us to the reality that what does 
happen in the Middle East does not stay in the Middle East. So it is 
important for us to provide stability operations and assistance, train-
and-assist operations, for our allies in the region in a very dangerous 
neighborhood.
  Since mid-October, Iranian-backed militia groups have attacked U.S. 
troops in the region more than 165 times--165 times. In less than 4 
months, U.S. troops have been targeted 165 times.
  This last weekend, the situation escalated dramatically when Iranian 
proxies targeted a U.S. military post in Jordan known as Tower 22. 
Tragically, these proxies of the Iranian regime--these militias--used a 
drone to attack the base, killing three American heroes as they slept.
  SGT William Rivers, SGT Kennedy Sanders, and SGT Breonna Moffett made 
the ultimate sacrifice in service to their country that night.
  These brave individuals were the first American servicemembers killed 
by enemy fire since the start of the Israel-Hamas war last October, but 
they are not the first Americans who have been targeted by the Iranian 
regime.
  The truth is, as you look back at the changes in Iran since the 
revolution in 1979, the Iranian regime has been in what you might call 
a low-grade war against America and American interests for the last 45 
years.
  Last month, two Navy SEALs were killed while seizing a vessel 
carrying Iranian-made arms intended for the Houthi rebels in Yemen. 
These brave SEALs and their comrades prevented the Houthis from 
receiving ballistic missiles and cruise missile components that could 
have been used to target U.S. forces or commercial traffic in the Red 
Sea or the nation of Israel.
  Today, I know our country mourns alongside of the families of each of 
those heroes, and we pray for the safety of the servicemembers who 
continue to serve our Nation providing these stability missions in the 
Middle East.
  But, as I said, the violence that we are seeing and experiencing in 
recent days is only a tragic continuation of Iran's decades-long proxy 
war against the United States. I said Iran is the No. 1 state sponsor 
of terrorism in the world. That is a fact. And the reason they operate 
through proxies is because they don't want to directly confront the 
United States because they fear American military might, as they 
should. But what they do is they will carry out terrorist attacks, 
having been equipped and trained and provided weapons by the Iranian 
regime, against innocent civilians and American servicemembers in the 
region.
  Of course, relations between the United States and Iran have been 
extremely fraught and violent since the 1979 Iranian Revolution, when 
the country quickly transformed from a pro-Western democracy to an 
anti-Western theocracy. Its Supreme Leader is driven by a radical 
ideology and a deep hatred of the United States and the freedoms that 
we enjoy. He even referred to the United States as the ``Great Satan.''
  As we have witnessed over the last four-plus decades, that shift from 
a pro-democracy to an anti-American policy carried with it very serious 
consequences. Of course, many of us remember the Iranian hostage 
crisis. The movie ``Argo'' was written about getting some of the 52 
Americans out of Iran who had been held hostage for up to a year.
  Four years later, the Iranian-backed terror group Hezbollah in 
Lebanon bombed a Marine Corps barracks, killing 241 American 
servicemembers.
  And then, in 1996, Iran orchestrated an attack on U.S. Air Force 
personnel in Khobar, Saudi Arabia. A truck bomb was detonated next to a 
building housing American troops, killing 19 U.S. Air Force personnel 
and a local Saudi citizen and wounding 498 others.
  Then, during the war in Iraq, from 2003 to 2011, it became common 
knowledge that Iran was supplying the most dangerous form of 
munitions--explosively formed penetrators--that penetrate the armor of 
humvees and other up-armored vehicles that the U.S. forces were in and 
planted numerous IEDs, killing hundreds of American troops.
  And today, as our country is mourning the troops who were killed in 
Jordan last weekend at the hand of Iranian proxies, we need to be 
absolutely clear-eyed about the fact that this is not a new innovation. 
This isn't something that just happened in the last 2 days. This has 
been going on for 45 years.
  To be clear, this is not an exhaustive list of the violence Iran has 
unleashed against the United States and our interests. Sadly, this just 
scratches the surface. But it is important to look back at the history 
to understand the Iranian intentions toward the United States and our 
allies.
  Tehran has consistently waged acts of war against the United States. 
It has gone to great lengths to export terrorism around the globe, and 
it has engaged in gross human rights violations against its own people.
  Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, otherwise known as IRGC, is 
the loyal henchman responsible for leading these efforts. It is a 
branch of the Iranian Armed Forces that tries to squash democracy 
movements, both at home and abroad, by pushing its extreme ideology 
beyond Iran's borders. They provide training and equipment to 
terrorists which they use to kill innocent civilians--not just in 
Israel, not just in Syria and Iraq, not just in Lebanon, but even in 
the southern part of the Arabian Peninsula, in Yemen.
  The IRGC wields vast power and influence, and it uses its 
capabilities to spark turmoil throughout the Middle East. As I said, it 
provides arms, training, and foot soldiers to these terrorist groups.
  As the world has seen in recent months, those attacks are quickly 
intensifying. It is a grave cause for concern in a very dangerous 
neighborhood, the sort of escalation that we are seeing by Iran via its 
proxies. But the only responsible answer is for the United States to 
take swift and decisive action to respond to these attacks, because, if 
we don't, we are sure to be met with more.
  Sadly, I don't think the Biden administration has responded to this 
attack with the sort of decisiveness that it needs. As far as we know, 
the administration hasn't taken any action to target Iran's leaders, 
the IRGC, or the Quds Force--militarily, financially, or otherwise.
  We are told that the President has decided what he is going to do, 
but he is not sharing that with us. And, I fear, as more and more time 
goes by, the Iranian regime will not connect the killing of three 
American servicemembers in Iraq by Shia militias backed by Iran with 
whatever the subsequent kinetic attack against Iran's forces are.
  We are all watching to see what the coming days may hold, but I would 
like to encourage President Biden that, when it comes to Iran, there is 
no benefit to applying anything less than maximum pressure.
  Now, we are not talking about American boots on the ground. We are 
not talking about another war. We are talking about deterrence.
  So if there is no price to be paid for these repeated attacks against 
civilians and American servicemembers, they are going to continue. This 
is not a cost-benefit analysis made by the regime; this is pursuant to 
their radical ideology where they want to destroy Israel. And they call 
America the ``Great Satan''; so you know they don't mean us well.
  Iran's leaders must learn that the attacks on U.S. servicemembers and 
American interests will be returned in kind. Regardless of who carries 
out an attack--Iran or its proxies--the Iranian regime must be brought 
to account. It is the head of the octopus, and the tentacles are the 
proxies they use to commit mayhem and terrorism around the region. The 
only way to achieve deterrence and to prevent this conflict from 
widening is to teach the Iranian regime that these sorts of unilateral 
terrorist attacks will not be tolerated.

  Given the escalating tensions between our countries, President Biden 
can't continue promoting the same

[[Page S333]]

weak policies that he has embraced over the last few years, trying to 
appease the Iranian regime because he wants to get them back in the 
Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or the Iran nuclear deal, 
negotiated under President Obama.
  He has lifted sanctions, which have allowed Iran to supply China and 
other countries oil, which has helped bolster their economy. They have 
continued to enrich uranium, getting closer and closer to a breakout 
for a nuclear weapon. As dangerous as Iran and its proxies are now, can 
you imagine what it would be like if they had a functioning nuclear 
weapon in the region?
  What would the response be of countries like Saudi Arabia, UAE, and 
other Arab countries that Iran has historically fought for control--not 
just geographic control but control as the leader of the Muslim world, 
according to their own brand of Islam.
  Unfortunately, in the messages that President Biden has sent over the 
last few years, from the disastrous withdrawal in Afghanistan without 
even notifying our allies--just pulling the plug and having the Taliban 
march in without a shot being fired--to the attempts to appease Iran in 
order to get back to the Iran nuclear deal, to the foolish decision to 
unfreeze $6 billion in Iranian assets, the Biden administration has 
projected an image of weakness when it comes to foreign policy.
  These missteps have sent a message to the Supreme Leader that he can 
continue to push until we push back. The Supreme Leader will naturally 
continue to test the limits of this administration to see how far he 
can go. We know what his ultimate aims are. We know the methods by 
which they act, and we don't need--we don't want--any more dead 
Americans because Iran continues to attack Americans and American 
allies in the Middle East.
  The root and foundation of all of this violence and instability in 
the Middle East is Iran. We can talk about Hezbollah, Hamas, the 
Houthis, and the Shia militias, but it is Iran that finances, equips, 
and trains these terrorists. That is true today, and it has been true 
literally for the last 45 years. From the Iran hostage crisis to the 
regime's outright support of terrorist groups in the Middle East, to 
the latest attack that killed three U.S. troops, Iran has demonstrated 
over and over and over again its unequivocal hatred of the United 
States.
  President Biden cannot hit Iran with kid gloves or allow the attacks 
on our servicemembers to go unanswered. It is a lesson that we have to 
learn, apparently, from history, time and time again, that appeasement 
is not a viable strategy when it comes to autocrats and dictators and 
terrorists. Appeasement doesn't work, and it is time for the President 
to impose crippling consequences on the Iranian regime, and I am 
talking about on the instruments of their terrorism, which is the IRGC 
and the Quds Force, which would be a good place to start.
  Mr. President, I yield the floor.

                               Summer EBT

  Mrs. MURRAY. Mr. President, I have been fighting for over a decade to 
establish a new summer nutrition program to help end child hunger, and 
I come to the floor today to celebrate the tremendous progress we have 
made in that effort because, this year, legislation I fought to pass in 
2022 based on my Stop Child Hunger Act will go into effect, 
establishing a permanent summer nutrition benefit for struggling 
families--Summer EBT, electronic benefit transfer.
  Basically, that means millions of parents who rely on free or 
reduced-price meals to feed their kids during the school year will get 
help feeding their kids over the summer too. This has been a long time 
coming, and it is a huge deal that now this program is becoming 
permanent.
  Child hunger isn't just something I heard about from parents across 
my home State of Washington; it is personal to me. I remember what it 
was like when my family fell on hard times when I was young. Growing 
up, my parents had seven kids. It was never easy, but when my dad could 
no longer work because he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, it 
wasn't just hard, it was impossible.
  Fortunately for all of us, our country didn't just say ``tough 
luck.'' We got support. Food stamps helped put food on our table until 
my mom was able to go back to school and get a job. That was the 
difference between our family getting by or going hungry.
  I want to make sure that we are showing up for families today in the 
same way because the painful reality is that right now in this country, 
we have some 30 million kids for whom the free or reduced-price meals 
they get at school are the difference between them eating a real meal 
that day or going hungry.
  When summer comes, instead of feeling relief at getting a break from 
homework, many of these kids and their parents are worried about where 
they are going to get their next meal, until school starts again.
  It is heartbreaking, and in the richest country in the world, it is 
unacceptable. That is why back in 2010 I helped fund the first of its 
kind pilot program for summer EBT at USDA. The idea is pretty simple: 
Create a program that gives families benefits they can use at the 
grocery store to help feed their kids over the summer. One of the pilot 
sites was in Vancouver, WA. Do you know what? The program worked. Those 
benefits decreased the number of kids with very low food security by 
about a third and supported a much healthier diet because they got more 
fruits and vegetables.
  So to build off the success of that pilot program, in 2014, I 
introduced my Stop Child Summer Hunger Act. Rigorous evaluations made 
clear that benefit worked.
  Still, even if it seems like common sense and basic humanity that 
kids shouldn't go hungry, it has been a very long journey to finally 
get this idea passed into law.
  I reintroduced my bill several times with different colleagues. Then 
the pandemic struck and threw struggling families into even greater 
food insecurity. Everyone here remembers the enormous number of cars 
lined up outside food banks across the country in the early days of the 
pandemic.
  So I started working with my colleagues to establish a temporary 
nutrition program to see families through that crisis in the relief 
packages that we passed during the worst of the pandemic. In doing so, 
we were also able to show how necessary that kind of support is and how 
effective it is and establish a foundation that we then built on to 
pass a permanent summer nutrition program into law as part of our 
omnibus government funding bill at the end of 2022.
  I have to pause and really, really thank my great friend and 
colleague, the senior Senator from Michigan. She chairs the Senate 
Agriculture Committee, and she led on negotiating this big win for 
kids.
  Now that bill is going into effect, and what it means for families is 
that this summer, in participating States, like my home State of 
Washington, families whose kids qualify for free or reduced-price 
school meals during the school year will receive a preloaded nutrition 
benefits card worth about $120 per child to buy groceries over the 
summer. Unlike the pandemic-era program we passed, this program is 
permanent. Those benefits will work similar to SNAP, which means 
parents can use them to buy food at grocery stores, farmers markets, 
and more.
  In my home State alone, we are talking half a million kids who can 
benefit from this program. That is a meaningful step towards ending 
child hunger in America. But, as always, we have more work to do. No 
child should ever go hungry in the United States of America.
  While I don't think that is a controversial idea, my message to all 
my colleagues who agree is that achieving this takes more than words; 
it takes action. That means giving a hand to families like mine who 
fall on hard times. It means making sure parents who rely on school 
lunches for their kids can keep them fed in the summer months and fully 
funding WIC, which is a lifeline to so many women and infants. That is 
something I am very focused on right now, and I will not let up until 
we see that through.
  So I am here today not just to celebrate the important progress which 
I fought for years to make on fighting summer hunger but to make clear 
that I am not done fighting. I am going to keep pushing to make sure 
that no

[[Page S334]]

child goes hungry--no child--and that every family gets the same kind 
of support my family got when I was growing up.
  I yield the floor.
  I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mrs. GILLIBRAND. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the 
order for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.


                                 Israel

  Mrs. GILLIBRAND. Mr. President, this is my 10th floor speech since 
the October 7 attack. Ten times I have stood here and told the 
hostages' stories. Ten times I have expressed their families' endless 
pain. But for every minute that I have stood here, the hostages and 
their families have lived lifetimes, an eternity in each moment.
  I have met so many families whose entire universe has been paralyzed. 
I have met mothers who are despondent, fathers who are desperate. They 
are living between hope and despair. They are asking themselves: Is my 
father alive? Is my daughter being raped every day? Is my husband being 
mistreated? Is my sister being fed?
  I recently met a family who says several of their loved ones were 
kidnapped by Hamas. Two escaped, and one was released, but one, 39-
year-old Carmel Gat, is still being held captive.
  She is an occupational therapist by training. Carmel had recently 
returned from a 3-month trip to India and was staying with her parents 
in Kibbutz Be'eri.
  On the morning of October 7, terrorists broke into her home. They 
took her mother to a street corner in the kibbutz and brutally murdered 
her. A few minutes later, they put Carmel into a car and drove her by 
that corner. That is how she learned her mother was killed.
  Released hostages who were with her told Carmel's family about the 
cruelty and the viciousness of the guards, but they also told them how 
brave Carmel was, defending and caring for the children being held in 
captivity, keeping them safe, teaching them how to turn within 
themselves, to meditate, to do yoga, to breathe, to give them some 
tools just to survive.
  Carmel was expected to be released on the eighth day of the November 
cease-fire, but just a few hours before it was her time to come home, 
the deal collapsed. Her family said they still haven't heard anything 
about her condition--whether she is alive, whether she is suffering, 
whether she will come home.
  Carmel is just one of the roughly 130 people still being held hostage 
by Hamas, including as many as 6 Americans. But she, like every other 
person whose life has been torn apart by this conflict, is not a 
statistic. She is a daughter. She is loved. Our hearts are with her, 
and we will not rest until she is home.
  I yield the floor.

         Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act

  Mr. SCHATZ. Mr. President, for centuries, Native people have had 
everything stolen from them--their lands, their water, their language, 
their children.
  It wasn't that long ago it was the official policy of the U.S. 
Government to terminate--to terminate--the existence of Tribes and to 
forcibly assimilate their citizens. And a big part of that unrelenting, 
inhumane policy was that the remains of Native ancestors and culturally 
significant items were also taken from them, not with permission, but 
by force; not discovered, but stolen on battlefields and in cemeteries, 
under the cover of darkness or under guise of academic research.
  Think about that. The U.S. Government literally stole bones. Soldiers 
and agents overturned graves and took whatever they could find. And 
these were not isolated incidents. They happened all across the 
country. In my home State of Hawaii, the remains of Native Hawaiians--
or ``iwi kupuna,'' as they are called--were routinely pillaged without 
regard for the sanctity of burials or Native Hawaiian culture.
  All of it was brought to some of the most venerable institutions at 
home and abroad to be studied like biological specimens, displayed in 
museum exhibits as if they are paintings on loan or squirreled away in 
a professor's office closet never to be seen again.
  The theft of hundreds of thousands of remains and items over 
generations was unconscionable in and of itself, but the legacy of that 
cruelty continues to this very day because these museums and 
universities continue to hold onto these sacred items in violation of 
everything that is right and moral and, more importantly, in violation 
of Federal law.
  To remedy this injustice, Congress passed the Native American Graves 
Protection and Repatriation Act, or NAGPRA, in 1990. It required 
museums and universities to quickly return the remains and the items 
that they were holding that belonged to Native Hawaiians, Alaska 
Natives, and American Indians.
  At the time, the Congressional Budget Office anticipated that it 
would take about 5 years to complete the process of repatriation. 
Thirty-four years later, it is nowhere close to being done. In fact, 
experts recently estimated that at the current rate, it may take up to 
70 more years to complete the process. Why? Because these institutions, 
all otherwise well-respected and sought after, have done everything in 
their power to obstruct and obfuscate when confronted about their 
collections.
  They act as if this is some sort of impossible task, either 
administratively or determining the lineage or providence of an item. 
They purposefully mischaracterize items as ``culturally 
unidentifiable.'' Culturally unidentifiable.
  They engage with Native communities as little as possible. They 
``borrow'' collections from one another so they can never actually be 
held responsible for them. And maybe the most outrageous of all 
excuses, they claim that Tribes and Native groups lack the ability to 
take care of their own things--lack the ability to take care of their 
own items of cultural patrimony, bones stolen from graves.
  This smells of the worst kind of colonialism, with a thin veneer of 
progressive ideology and verbiage. University provosts and presidents 
can do all of the land acknowledgements that they want. They can post 
lengthy statements about equity on their websites and champion any 
number of progressive causes, but that rings hollow when they are at 
the same time clinging onto vast collections of stolen items because of 
a perverse, patronizing sense of ownership.
  This is not morally ambiguous. There is nothing to ponder here. The 
fact is these items do not belong in museums or universities or to 
science or academia. They belong to the Native people from which they 
came, which is why the Committee on Indian Affairs, where I am chair, 
held an oversight hearing on this issue almost 2 years ago and demanded 
explanations from the foremost offenders about their delays in 
repatriating these items.
  They are located all over the country: Ohio History Connection; the 
Illinois State Museum; Harvard University; University of California, 
Berkeley; and Indiana University. Together, these five institutions 
still hold at least 30,000 Native ancestral remains. These institutions 
have been responsive, and many have accelerated their repatriation 
efforts since.
  Earlier this month, Harvard, which has the third largest collection 
of these items in the country, pledged to cover the travel expenses of 
Native leaders to facilitate the repatriation process. Other museums, 
including the American Museum of Natural History and the Field Museum, 
have recently announced steps to finally comply with the Federal law. 
And yet there are still more than 70 other institutions holding almost 
58,000 ancestral remains. That is not counting the additional hundreds 
of thousands of cultural items in their collections.
  These museums and universities are everywhere: the University of 
Tennessee; the University of Kentucky; the University of Alabama; the 
University of Arizona; the University of Florida; the University of 
Missouri, Columbia; the University of Oklahoma; the Center for American 
Archaeology in Illinois; the University of Texas at Austin; the 
Milwaukee Public Museum; and so on. This is just a small sample, and I 
will enter the full list into the Record.
  But the point is this: We are not done. Our work is not over. These 
are

[[Page S335]]

supposedly liberal institutions who have no problem parroting whatever 
progressive expression is in vogue. And yet at the same time, they 
continue a colonial project against the explicit and repeated wishes of 
Native people. If you say you are for equal justice, for doing right by 
people of all backgrounds, then act like it. Return these remains and 
items to the Native people they belonged to all along.
  Some of the challenges when it comes to addressing past injustices in 
American history can seem so big as to be totally overwhelming. Where 
do you start? But this is not one of them. Returning these items 
matters, and the good news is it is imminently doable, but doable only 
if we collectively agree that getting this right is a necessary 
condition for justice to be restored.
  Doing this alone will not right past wrongs or somehow erase a long 
and brutal history of injustice. Of course, it won't. Native people 
still need money for water and electricity and healthcare. They still, 
as ever, need the unimpeded right to self-determination. But the least 
we can do--and I mean that, the least we can do--is enable them to tell 
their own stories and to define themselves, for themselves, to the rest 
of the world.
  Give the items back. Comply with Federal law. Hurry. Devote resources 
to this. Demonstrate in three dimensions that you care about the values 
that you espouse.
  Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the list of institutions 
in possession of the repatriated remains be printed in the Record.
  There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in 
the Record, as follows:
