                             General Leave

  Mr. McCAUL. Madam Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members 
may have 5 legislative days to revise and extend their remarks and 
include extraneous material on H.R. 8038.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Texas?
  There was no objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 1160 and rule 
XVIII, the Chair declares the House in the Committee of the Whole House 
on

[[Page H2562]]

the state of the Union for the consideration of the bill, H.R. 8038.
  The Chair appoints the gentlewoman from North Carolina (Ms. Foxx) to 
preside over the Committee of the Whole.

                              {time}  0905


                     In the Committee of the Whole

  Accordingly, the House resolved itself into the Committee of the 
Whole House on the state of the Union for the consideration of the bill 
(H.R. 8038) to authorize the President to impose certain sanctions with 
respect to Russia and Iran, and for other purposes, with Ms. Foxx in 
the chair.
  The Clerk read the title of the bill.
  The CHAIR. Pursuant to the rule, the bill is considered read the 
first time.
  General debate shall be confined to the bill and shall not exceed 30 
minutes equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking 
minority member of the Committee on Foreign Affairs or their respective 
designees.
  The gentleman from Texas (Mr. McCaul) and the gentleman from New York 
(Mr. Meeks) each will control 15 minutes.
  The chair recognizes the gentleman from Texas (Mr. McCaul).
  Mr. McCAUL. Madam Chair, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Madam Chair, the most serious matters that any committee deals with 
are matters of war and peace. It is those votes that are the most 
consequential votes of your career.
  This is one of those moments. As Secretary Pompeo and General Keane 
recently wrote in a letter to Congress: `` . . . we write at a pivotal 
moment in our Nation's history to applaud your efforts to secure vital 
support to America's allies and to strengthen America's defenses.''
  They know that the world is on fire, from Putin's full-scale invasion 
of Ukraine; to Chairman Xi threatening Taiwan and the Pacific; to the 
Ayatollah rearing his ugly head, invading Israel through his proxies.
  The eyes of the world are upon us, and history will judge us by what 
we do here and now.
  I thank Speaker Johnson, who has been under enormous pressure. He has 
said he wants to be on the right side of history, and with this vote 
today, he absolutely is. He put the interests of the Nation above 
himself. He is truly a profile in courage.
  President Reagan taught us that peace is achieved through strength, 
and that is what this bill is about. It is about providing the 
deterrence so we don't have another war as we did during my father's 
generation, and that is why I titled it, ``The 21st Century Peace 
Through Strength Act.''
  This bill includes my REPO Act that allows the transfer of frozen 
Russian sovereign assets in the United States so that Putin pays for 
the war he started. This is not just morally the right thing to do, it 
is also the fiscally responsible thing to do on behalf of the American 
taxpayer. Let Putin pay for it.
  That is why President Trump's former economic advisor, Larry Kudlow, 
supports this provision.
  This bill also protects Americans, especially our children, from the 
malign influence of the Chinese Communist Party-controlled TikTok. This 
app is a spy balloon in Americans' phones. It is a modern-day Trojan 
horse of the CCP used to surveil and exploit Americans' personal 
information.
  This bill also includes the most comprehensive sanctions against Iran 
that Congress has ever passed, including sanctions on exports of 
Iranian energy. China has bought $80 billion worth of energy from Iran. 
Madam Chair, that is money that Iran is using to fund terror operations 
like the ones that we saw last weekend. This bill also imposes 
sanctions on anyone involved in Iran's drone and missile program.
  Think about this, Madam Chair: Iran makes the drones and the missiles 
that are bought by Russia to kill Ukrainians. As we saw last Saturday, 
Iran is also manufacturing these drones, with Russia's support, to kill 
Israelis. This must be stopped.
  As Reagan said: ``When it comes to keeping America strong, when it 
comes to keeping America great, when it comes to keeping America at 
peace, then none of us can afford to be simply a Democrat or a 
Republican. We must all stand united as Americans.''

  Once again today, we need to speak with one voice, as one Nation, 
especially when addressing our adversaries, for Putin is watching us, 
Chairman Xi is watching us, and the Ayatollah is watching us.
  Now is the time to act.
  Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. MEEKS. Madam Chair, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Madam Chair, this is indeed a historic moment. Sometimes when we are 
living history, as we are today, we don't understand the significance 
of the actions, of the votes that we make on this House floor, and of 
the effect that it will have down the road for children yet unborn. 
This is a historic moment.
  Yesterday, one of the rarest things that has ever happened on this 
floor took place. Generally, in this body, it takes the majority party 
to pass its rule, and the minority party never votes for it. However, 
this moment is so big that House Democrats said: We are not playing 
politics with this. This is too important for our Nation's security. 
This is too important for our allies' security. This is too important 
for the free world's security.
  Therefore, we did something that we have never done before. We voted 
in a bipartisan way to pass the rule to get these bills on the floor. 
Quite frankly, I would have loved to have done this 2, 3, 4 months ago. 
However, this is a historic moment. Ukraine is now on the brink. The 
humanitarian catastrophes in Gaza and Sudan and Haiti and elsewhere 
require immediate aid.
  Israel faced an unprecedented, direct attack from Iran less than 1 
week ago, and we need to rebuild our industrial base and support a free 
and open Indo-Pacific.
  We stand here today, finally, doing the people's work; doing, as I 
said just a few minutes ago, what we should have done months ago--
supporting our friends, supporting our allies around the world, and 
quieting the doubts about whether America is a reliable partner or not; 
whether the United States will continue leading on the world stage or 
not. I am so proud of President Biden because he has displayed that 
leadership time and time again.
  Now, today, we have a number of bills that we need to pass for our 
national security. On REPO, pertaining to the seizure of Russian 
sovereign assets, there is no doubt that Russia should pay for its 
crimes against humanity in Ukraine, as Vice President Harris has termed 
it. This bill, importantly, irons out legal questions that make sure 
that the United States does not act alone, but rather in coordination 
with our G7 and other partners, and we have seen President Biden pull 
them together immediately. Coordinating with our allies on this issue 
is important, not just for our standing as a paragon of the rule of 
law, but for our long-term economic interests.

                              {time}  0915

  There is an array of Middle East sanction bills included in this 
package, including several we voted on this week.
  Importantly, the majority agreed to add a humanitarian exception in 
three of those bills. I had been requesting that for a while. 
Fortunately and thankfully, we got it in now.
  I hope that, going forward, including these exceptions is a matter of 
course rather than something added via last-second negotiation, but I 
thank my friend, Chairman McCaul, for the good-faith negotiations on 
the Middle East section of this legislation.
  The Foreign Affairs Committee sanctions section is not perfect, but 
it does provide important humanitarian exceptions and waivers 
throughout the bill. Given the focus on the REPO bill the last few 
days, I will highlight that a key authority in the bill is permissive.
  I do not think that a sanction should be the opening salvo of 
diplomacy. Many may have heard me talking about how I believe in 
diplomacy so strongly, but sanctions are an important instrument of 
economic statecraft that can, on occasion, deter bad actors, curb human 
rights abuses, and promote diplomatic outcomes. I believe we lose our 
moral credibility if American sanctions are seen as causing 
indiscriminate deprivation, and we lose our policy flexibility if we 
tie the executive branch's hands instead of giving it useful tools.
  Yet, it is important that would-be invaders and dictators around the 
world

[[Page H2563]]

see they will face real consequences if they undermine the 
international order.
  This legislation also contains several bills in the Financial 
Services and Energy and Commerce lanes. Important changes were made to 
these bills.
  I had voted against H.R. 7521 on the floor out of concern that it 
would be a broad authorization that could be misused far beyond what we 
in Washington are currently debating, beyond just TikTok. However, I 
think the bill took a step in the right direction with a more realistic 
timeframe for a complex divestiture process.
  Let me say for the record that I believe this bill is about one 
company and that additional authorities provided to the executive 
branch are to be interpreted narrowly.
  Let me also take a moment to speak to those who oppose this 
legislation and say we can't support Ukraine in its fight against 
Russia's invasion because, to use their words, we are facing an 
invasion here at home. That is an absurd comparison.
  Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine because he wanted to topple the 
democratically elected Government of Ukraine and reconstitute the 
Soviet Union. He launched his unprovoked war of aggression with a 
willingness to kill millions of Ukrainians, not to mention his own 
forces.
  By contrast, people come to our border because of the tumult in their 
home countries or in search of a better life for themselves and their 
children. They do so because this is the greatest Nation, the greatest 
country, in the history of this planet.
  With all of our ills, with all of our faults, with all that we need 
to do, we come together. There is no question that the example that we 
show, by the people and the citizens of this great country, it is the 
greatest Nation on this planet.
  Today, once again, on this House floor, where we are right now, we 
are proving that fact by overcoming, by proving that this is the 
greatest country in the world, and by proving that we are the leaders 
of the free world. We are doing this by overcoming our partisan 
divides, by showing that we will work together and stand together, 
Democrats and Republicans, for the right thing and for our country.
  We are passing a historic bill, a bill that our children and 
grandchildren will be reading and looking at in the years to come. It 
promotes not just U.S. national security but the security of democracy 
over authoritarianism, law over lawlessness, and prosperity over chaos 
or famine.
  Madam Chair, the camera of history is rolling, and when they play it 
back, they will see we stood together. When they play it back, they 
will see that we stood for freedom, justice, and equality.
  Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. McCAUL. Madam Chair, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Arkansas (Mr. Hill), a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee.
  Mr. HILL. Madam Chair, once again, dear friends, into the breach. We 
stand in the breach again for freedom. We stand in this historic 
Chamber with Washington on one side and Lafayette on the other.
  In 2 years, we will celebrate the 250th anniversary of this country, 
this freedom, this democracy, which would not have happened without 
money from the Netherlands, money from France, guns from France, a navy 
from France. Allies stood at the side of the birth of this Nation.
  The birth of freedom was born here, so today, we come to this House 
floor to see that freedom is fought for here in this House.
  Last week, Prime Minister Kishida of Japan stood on this floor and 
called this Nation the indispensable Nation--not to do it alone, not to 
stand in the breach alone, but to lead. Today, the United States will 
once again step up and lead.
  Today, we will send the world the message: We stand with those who 
stand for freedom, and we hold to account those who are against 
freedom.
  This bill supports our allies. This bill condemns our rivals and our 
enemies.
  Madam Chair, I urge my colleagues to vote for this bill.
  Madam Chair,
  America 250--in two years, this House will celebrate the 250th 
birthday of our Declaration of Independence.
  As Americans, we are all versed in our Founding, our struggles in the 
American revolution. We recall the lack of food and pay for our troops, 
the misery of winter at Valley Forge.
  What we must remember is that we did not win our independence alone.
  From 1775 through 1781, the United States would not have seen victory 
at Yorktown ending the American Revolution were it not for allied 
nations making a bet on the grit and tenacity of Colonial Americans 
taking on the world's largest army and navy. France, the bankers in 
Amsterdam, and the Spanish opposed Britian backed Washington's 
struggling ragtime army.
  80 percent of the muskets and uniforms worn by the Continental Army 
were supplied by France. French and Dutch loans, Spanish gunpowder, and 
the French Navy were all critical.
  Without the help of these other nations, we would not have had the 
resources to win the Revolutionary War and become an independent 
Nation.
  As Americans, we understand the sense of partnership that it takes 
when you are fighting for freedom.
  In February, for the second time in six months I traveled to Ukraine 
to speak with President Zelenskyy and other U.S. officials in country 
on a bipartisan CODEL led by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike 
Turner to deliver our message directly to Ukraine on behalf of the 
American people.
  Along with dozens of allied Nations, the United States should 
continue to back the freedom fighting, freedom loving Ukrainians to 
ensure that Vladamir Putin knows that he's not going to stay in 
Ukraine.
  Let me be clear--he will be denied that opportunity.
  In polling, the American people make clear that they do not want 
Putin to be victorious in Ukraine.
  It's bad for Europe, the sovereignty of Ukraine, and for the world.
  The innocent people of Ukraine have been under unprovoked attack for 
over two years, their lives upended by the vengeance of a megalomaniac 
illegally invading and attempting to overthrow a sovereign neighbor.
  This war commenced in 2014 in the Donbas and Crimea and exploded into 
a full invasion on February 24, 2022.
  American military aid to Ukraine is running out and Ukrainians 
battling on the frontlines to defend their homeland are running out of 
ammunition and other crucial military supplies.
  They are losing the ability to defend themselves and win this war 
that they have so valiantly fought for 24 months--and politically and 
emotionally for a painful decade.
  To my colleagues in Congress, it is essential that we pass further 
aid to Ukraine.
  Time is running out.
  And when the war ends, and we hope Ukraine hails victory, Putin must 
bear the responsibility for the death and destruction he has caused in 
their sovereign Nation.
  He must bear responsibility of paying for Ukraine's reconstruction.
  In the 21st Century Peace Through Strength Act, House Foreign Affairs 
Committee Chairman Mike McCaul and I have collaborated to add the 
Rebuilding Economic Prosperity and Opportunity for Ukrainians (REPO) 
Act to seize Russian sovereign assets for the sole purpose of Ukraine's 
eventual reconstruction.
  Similar legislation has successfully been passed by the Senate 
Foreign Relations Committee.
  Considering most Russian sovereign assets are located outside of the 
United States, it is critical that our allies around the world draft 
and pass companion legislation.
  In January, European Union (EU) members unaiminously agreed to set 
aside frozen Russian central bank assets in Europe, taking the first 
step to benefit Ukraine and its reconstruction from Russia's 
destruction.
  This is a strong signal from our European allies that we are one step 
closer to seeing crucial draft legislation.
  Although the EU has taken a step in the right direction, their action 
needs to go further. Their eventual proposed draft legislation needs to 
encompass all Russian assets, not just liquid central bank accounts.
  In the meantime, the United States and our allies need to continue to 
press Putin with further sanctions to deter his aggression.
  We also need to ensure Ukraine remains an open economy.
  Despite the damages caused by the war, over the past two years, 
Ukraine's economy is hanging in there.
  Ukraine's battlefield victories in 2023, including pushing the 
Russian Navy off the Ukrainian coast of the Black Sea, reopening it to 
Ukrainian exports of grain, iron, and fertilizer.
  Although Russia's invasion drove Ukraine's GDP down in 2022, their 
economy is reported to have grown by roughly 3 to 4 percent in 2023.
  More economic recovery and more exports mean Ukraine is generating 
reprieve to support itself.

[[Page H2564]]

  Given the nation's current state in the face of devastation and in 
the wake of Putin's madness, this is remarkable.
  As Ukraine is one of the world's largest grain producers, it's key 
that they continue to maintain an open, thriving economy.
  In sum, it's simple: we need to continue to support Ukraine with 
financial, military, and humanitarian assistance; hold Putin 
responsible for paying for the damages he has caused in this sovereign 
nation; and discourage him with further and more aggressive sanctions, 
including on all nations that fuel his terror.
  For if Russia wins, it opens the door for other foreign adversaries 
like China to follow in their pursuit of taking over Taiwan, 
jumpstarting a global war.
  If Russia wins, it threatens the 75 years of peace and prosperity in 
Europe, and risks dragging the United States into a war like we have 
never seen.
  Ukraine will stop Russia dead in their tracks--if we see their 
struggle for freedom in the same way we fought for ours nearly 250 
years ago.
  Failure in Ukraine is not an option.
  Mr. MEEKS. Madam Chair, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from 
Virginia (Mr. Connolly), a member of the House Foreign Affairs 
Committee.
  Mr. CONNOLLY. Madam Chair, I thank my friend and Mr. McCaul for their 
leadership.
  Madam Chair, today, with the vote on Ukraine security aid, we 
rededicate ourselves to who we are. We meet today under the white dome 
above us, a universal symbol of freedom and freedom-loving people 
everywhere.
  Today, we cannot disappoint those who seek what we have, freedom--the 
freedom to self-determine, the freedom to decide their sovereignty, 
their alliances, and their form of government.
  America has always stood for that. Will we retreat from that today? 
Do we understand the choices in front of us? They are clear. Some say 
that we have to deal with our border first. The Ukrainian-Russian 
border is our border. It is the border between depraved autocracy and 
freedom-loving people seeking our democratic way of life.
  Do we have a stake in that outcome? Yes. Undeniably, yes.
  Will we rise to the occasion? Will we stand shoulder to shoulder with 
our Ukrainian brothers and sisters who, for 1,151 days, have been 
holding off the depraved, thuggish dictator of Vladimir Putin, who has 
respected no norms of warfare? He has targeted children, hospitals, and 
schools. He has bombed apartment blocks, killing thousands. He has an 
advantage right now, because of our dithering, of 10-1 in terms of 
artillery shells, yet our brave Ukrainian brothers and sisters continue 
to fight.
  We must meet this test today. We must stand with Ukraine.
  ``Slava Ukraini.'' ``Glory to Ukraine.''
  Mr. McCAUL. Madam Chair, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from New 
Jersey (Mr. Kean), the chairman of the Europe Subcommittee.
  Mr. KEAN of New Jersey. Madam Chair, I thank my good friend, the 
chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, for yielding me time and for 
his steadfast leadership.
  Madam Chair, I rise today in support of H.R. 8038, the 21st Century 
Peace through Strength Act.
  As someone who grew up during the Cold War, I recall when President 
Reagan quoted and displayed the philosophy of ``peace through 
strength.''
  Europe is facing the largest war on the Continent since World War II. 
The Middle East is volatile, and every day, the CCP prepares itself for 
its ultimate goal of invading Taiwan. In the fields of Ukraine, every 
day in which aid is delayed means more territory for Putin, and it 
further emboldens Xi and the Ayatollah in Iran.
  This is not the time for the United States to back down. In order to 
preserve peace in the world, we must seize the moment and project 
strength.
  Madam Chair, I urge passage of this bill and the entire foreign aid 
package.
  Mr. MEEKS. Madam Chair, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Texas 
(Mr. Castro), the ranking member of the Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on 
the Western Hemisphere.
  Mr. CASTRO of Texas. Madam Chair, I rise in opposition to H.R. 8038 
and today's vote to fund Benjamin Netanyahu's war in Gaza.
  All of us have seen the tragedy of Gaza. We have seen how Prime 
Minister Netanyahu's government has used American weapons to kill 
indiscriminately and to force famine, with over 25,000 women and 
children dead and tens of thousands of missiles and bombs levied on 
innocent civilians.
  We cannot escape what we see before us every day. That is the 
blessing of today's technology--TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, all of it. 
When we see it, we have to decide what we are going to do about it. Are 
we going to participate in that carnage or not? I choose not to.
  Prime Minister Netanyahu has been reckless. His actions have not led 
to the release of the remaining hostages. He has ignored the pleas of 
the families of hostages. He has ignored the pleas of the President of 
the United States. He has ignored his own people. He has engaged in 
self-preservation.
  We should not be sending offensive weapons to Israel right now, and I 
hope that this body will not.
  Mr. McCAUL. Madam Chair, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from New 
York (Mr. Lawler), a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee.
  Mr. LAWLER. Madam Chair, I rise in support of the 21st Century Peace 
through Strength Act.
  This bill reverses the Biden administration's relaxed stance toward 
Iran and China and starts to hold these bad actors accountable.
  Two of my bills, the SHIP Act and the Iran-China Energy Sanctions 
Act, are included in this package. Both of these bills target the 
illicit oil trade between Iran and China.
  One of my bills imposes sanctions on foreign ports and refineries 
that process Iranian oil, many of which are located in China.
  My other bill imposes sanctions on Chinese financial institutions 
that process transactions involving Iranian oil as well as anyone 
involved in Iran's missile and drone program.
  Iran is exporting millions of barrels of petroleum every day. Eighty 
percent of these exports go to China. Iran has taken in over $88 
billion from their illicit oil trade since President Biden took office, 
and they must not earn a cent more.
  To be clear, these illicit funds are used to fund Iran's regime of 
terror, including backing Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and other 
terrorist groups, as well as their direct assault on Israel last 
weekend.
  The CHAIR. The time of the gentleman has expired.
  Mr. McCAUL. Madam Chair, I yield an additional 15 seconds to the 
gentleman from New York.
  Mr. LAWLER. Madam Chair, now is the time for America to lead, to 
support our allies, to combat our adversaries, and to continue our role 
as leader of the free world.

                              {time}  0930

  Mr. MEEKS. Madam Chair, may I inquire how much time I have remaining.
  The CHAIR. The gentleman from New York has 1\1/2\ minutes remaining.
  Mr. MEEKS. Madam Chair, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from New 
Jersey (Mr. Pallone).
  Mr. PALLONE. Madam Chair, I rise in strong support of H.R. 8038.
  National security experts are sounding the alarm, warning that our 
foreign adversaries are using every tool at their disposal, including 
apps like TikTok, to amass troves of sensitive data on all Americans.
  This bill takes decisive action to mitigate our foreign adversaries' 
ability to collect Americans' data and use it against us.
  First, it creates a framework intended to force divestment of TikTok 
from its Chinese Communist Party-controlled parent company, ByteDance.
  Second, this bill includes my bipartisan Protecting Americans' Data 
from Foreign Adversaries Act. This bill prohibits data brokers from 
selling Americans' sensitive personal information to China, Russia, 
North Korea, and Iran, as well as to entities controlled by those 
countries.
  I thank my partner in this effort, Chair Rodgers, for her tireless 
work to advance these important provisions, and I strongly urge my 
colleagues to support this legislation.
  Mr. McCAUL. Madam Chair, I have no further speakers, and I reserve 
the balance of my time.
  Mr. MEEKS. Madam Chair, I yield the remainder of my time to the 
gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Krishnamoorthi), the ranking member

[[Page H2565]]

on the Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United 
States and the Chinese Communist Party.
  Mr. KRISHNAMOORTHI. Madam Chair, I rise in support of this bill, and 
specifically on the TikTok divestment bill. I want to say a special 
thank you to  Greg Meeks,  Mike McCaul,   Mike Gallagher, Frank 
Pallone, Cathy McMorris Rodgers, and Chair Cantwell in the Senate for 
working on this bill.
  First of all, this bill is not a ban; it is about a divestment. It is 
not really about TikTok; it is about ByteDance, the company that owns 
TikTok and is indisputably controlled by the Chinese Communist Party. 
The CCP's secretary of the cell embedded in the company is the editor 
and chief of ByteDance. That is why we are so concerned about this 
particular app.
  Since the bill passed with 352 votes previously, we increased the 
divestment period, which is the least restrictive way to deal with the 
CCP threat, from 6 months to upwards of a year.
  Madam Chair, I strongly urge support of this bill.
  Mr. MEEKS. Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. McCAUL. Madam Chair, in the late 1930s, Winston Churchill 
described what he saw as the gathering storm, the forces of Hitler and 
the axis of evil threatening freedom and democracy.
  I recall when Mr. Meeks and I were on the border between Poland and 
Ukraine watching thousands of mothers and their children fleeing their 
own country in fear after the invasion. The Poles told us: This is just 
like 1939 when Hitler invaded Poland.
  Today, we are at a similar inflection point in history. The fall of 
Afghanistan sent a powerfully dangerous message to our adversaries that 
America was weak. Almost immediately after, the Russian Federation 
began moving toward Ukraine.
  Once Chairman Xi met with Putin at the Olympics and cemented their 
unholy alliance, they invaded. Chairman Xi has become more aggressive 
in the Pacific; and mark my words, Xi is watching what happens in 
Ukraine to determine whether he invades Taiwan in the Pacific.
  Then the Ayatollah raised his ugly head in the Middle East. Last 
Saturday, the world watched as Iran for the first time in history 
invaded Israel, sending 300 missiles and drones to kill innocent 
Israelis.
  These dictators, including North Korea, are all tied together. They 
are all tied together. We cannot separate them. We don't pick and 
choose our enemies; they choose us.
  My father served as a bombardier in World War II. He was part of the 
Greatest Generation. I recently took my son to the air base in England 
where my father was stationed. While there, we visited the church where 
my father prayed, not knowing if he would live or die.
  I took my son to the national cemetery for the U.S. airmen who never 
made it home, and I pointed to the 4,000 crosses and said: Son, those 
are the ones who did not make it home. In the chapel there is inscribed 
on the ceiling:

       In honor of the airmen who on their last flight met the 
     face of God.

  Met the face of God.
  It was a moving experience, father and son, teaching my son, like my 
father taught me, about the importance of patriotism and the cost of 
freedom. It was also a reminder of the dangers that we face today, for 
today like then, it could have been prevented. Deterrence is the key.
  As Churchill wrote in his book, ``The Gathering Storm:''
  ``One day, President Roosevelt told me that he was asking publicly 
for suggestions about what the war should be called. I said at once, 
`The Unnecessary War.' ''
  Think about that, the unnecessary war. He said: ``There never was a 
war more easy to stop than that which has just wrecked what was left of 
the world from the previous struggle.''
  I often think about the blood and treasure that could have been saved 
from my father's generation had we simply stopped Hitler earlier. Now 
we are faced with a similar opportunity.
  As Ronald Reagan told us: ``We know only too well that war comes not 
when the forces of freedom are strong, but when they are weak.''
  He was right. Our adversaries are working together to undermine our 
Western values and demean our democracy. We cannot be afraid at this 
moment in time. We cannot be afraid of our shadows. We must be strong. 
We have to do what is right. Evil is on the march.
  History is calling, and now is the time to act, for the world is 
watching. Our adversaries are watching us here today, and history will 
judge us all by our actions here today and now.
  As we deliberate on this vote, you have to ask yourself the question: 
Am I Chamberlain or am I Churchill?
  Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
  The CHAIR. All time for general debate has expired.
  Pursuant to the rule, the bill shall be considered for amendment

     SEC. 3001. SHORT TITLES.

       This division may be cited as the ``Fentanyl Eradication 
     and Narcotics Deterrence Off Fentanyl'' or the ``FEND Off 
     Fentanyl Act''.

     SEC. 3002. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the proliferation of fentanyl is causing an 
     unprecedented surge in overdose deaths in the United States, 
     fracturing families and communities, and necessitating a 
     comprehensive policy response to combat its lethal flow and 
     to mitigate the drug's devastating consequences;
       (2) the trafficking of fentanyl into the United States is a 
     national security threat that has killed hundreds of 
     thousands of United States citizens;
       (3) transnational criminal organizations, including cartels 
     primarily based in Mexico, are the main purveyors of fentanyl 
     into the United States and must be held accountable;
       (4) precursor chemicals sourced from the People's Republic 
     of China are--
       (A) shipped from the People's Republic of China by 
     legitimate and illegitimate means;
       (B) transformed through various synthetic processes to 
     produce different forms of fentanyl; and
       (C) crucial to the production of illicit fentanyl by 
     transnational criminal organizations, contributing to the 
     ongoing opioid crisis;
       (5) the United States Government must remain vigilant to 
     address all new forms of fentanyl precursors and drugs used 
     in combination with fentanyl, such as Xylazine, which 
     attribute to overdose deaths of people in the United States;
       (6) to increase the cost of fentanyl trafficking, the 
     United States Government should work collaboratively across 
     agencies and should surge analytic capability to impose 
     sanctions and other remedies with respect to transnational 
     criminal organizations (including cartels), including foreign 
     nationals who facilitate the trade in illicit fentanyl and 
     its precursors from the People's Republic of China; and
       (7) the Department of the Treasury should focus on fentanyl 
     trafficking and its facilitators as one of the top national 
     security priorities for the Department.

           TITLE II--REPURPOSING OF RUSSIAN SOVEREIGN ASSETS

     SEC. 101. FINDINGS; SENSE OF CONGRESS.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) On February 24, 2022, the Government of the Russian 
     Federation violated the sovereignty and territorial integrity 
     of Ukraine by engaging in a premeditated, second illegal 
     invasion of Ukraine.
       (2) The international community has condemned the illegal 
     invasions of Ukraine by the Russian Federation, as well as 
     the commission of the crime of aggression, war crimes, crimes 
     against humanity, and genocide by officials of the Russian 
     Federation, including through the deliberate targeting of 
     civilians and civilian infrastructure, the forcible transfer 
     of children, and the commission of sexual violence.
       (3) The leaders of the G7 have called the Russian 
     Federation's ``unprovoked and completely unjustified attack 
     on the democratic state of Ukraine'' a ``serious violation of 
     international law and a grave breach of the United Nations 
     Charter and all commitments Russia entered in the Helsinki 
     Final Act and the Charter of Paris and its commitments in the 
     Budapest Memorandum''.
       (4) On March 2, 2022, the United Nations General Assembly 
     adopted Resolution ES-11/1, entitled ``Aggression against 
     Ukraine'', by a vote of 141 to 5. That resolution 
     ``deplore[d] in the strongest terms the aggression by the 
     Russian Federation against Ukraine in violation of Article 
     2(4) of the [United Nations] Charter'' and demanded that the 
     Russian Federation ``immediately cease its use of force 
     against Ukraine'' and ``immediately, completely and 
     unconditionally withdraw all of its military forces from the 
     territory of Ukraine within its internationally recognized 
     borders''.
       (5) On March 16, 2022, the International Court of Justice 
     issued a provisional measures order requiring the Russian 
     Federation to ``immediately suspend the military operations 
     that it commenced on 24 February 2022 in the territory of 
     Ukraine'' and, in this regard, observed that ``orders on 
     provisional measures . . . have binding effect''.
       (6) On November 14, 2022, the United Nations General 
     Assembly adopted a resolution--
       (A) recognizing that the Russian Federation has committed a 
     serious breach of the most fundamental norms of international 
     law and its gross and systematic refusal to obey its 
     obligations has affected the entire international community;
       (B) recognizing the need for the establishment, in 
     cooperation with Ukraine, of an international mechanism for 
     compensation for financially assessable damages caused by the 
     Russian Federation's internationally wrongful acts; and
       (C) recommending ``the creation . . . of an international 
     register of damage to serve as a record . . . of evidence and 
     claims information on damage, loss or injury to all natural 
     and legal persons concerned, as well as the State of Ukraine, 
     caused by internationally wrongful acts of the Russian 
     Federation in or against Ukraine . . . .''.
       (7) The Russian Federation bears international legal 
     responsibility for its aggression against Ukraine and, under 
     international law, must cease its internationally wrongful 
     acts. Because of this breach of the prohibition on aggression 
     under international law, the United States is legally 
     entitled to take counter measures that are proportionate and 
     aimed at inducing the Russian Federation to comply with its 
     international obligations.
       (8) Approximately $300,000,000,000 of Russian sovereign 
     assets have been immobilized worldwide. Only a small fraction 
     of those assets, 1 to 2 percent, or between $4,000,000,000 
     and $5,000,000,000, are reportedly subject to the 
     jurisdiction of the United States.
       (9) The vast majority of immobilized Russian sovereign 
     assets, approximately $190,000,000,000, are reportedly 
     subject to the jurisdiction of Belgium. The Government of 
     Belgium has publicly indicated that any action by that 
     Government regarding those assets would be predicated on 
     support by the G7.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that, 
     having committed an act of aggression, as recognized by the 
     United Nations General Assembly on March 2, 2022, the Russian 
     Federation is to be considered as an aggressor state. The 
     extreme illegal actions taken by the Russian Federation, 
     including an act of aggression, present a unique situation, 
     justifying the establishment of a legal authority for the 
     United States Government and other countries to confiscate 
     Russian sovereign assets in their respective jurisdictions.

     SEC. 102. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING IMPORTANCE OF THE 
                   RUSSIAN FEDERATION PROVIDING COMPENSATION TO 
                   UKRAINE.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the Russian Federation bears responsibility for the 
     financial burden of the reconstruction of Ukraine and for 
     countless other costs associated with the illegal invasion of 
     Ukraine by the Russian Federation that began on February 24, 
     2022;
       (2) the most effective ways to provide compensation for the 
     damages caused by the Russian Federation's internationally 
     wrongful acts should be assessed by an international 
     mechanism charged with determining compensation and providing 
     assistance to Ukraine;
       (3) at least since November 2022 the Russian Federation has 
     been on notice of its opportunity to comply with its 
     international obligations, including to make full 
     compensation for injury, or, by agreement with Ukraine, to 
     authorize an international mechanism to resolve issues 
     regarding compensation to Ukraine;
       (4) the Russian Federation can, by negotiated agreement, 
     participate in any international process to assess the 
     damages caused by the Russian Federation's internationally 
     wrongful acts and make funds available to compensate for 
     these damages, and if it fails to do so, the United States 
     and other countries should explore all avenues for ensuring 
     compensation to Ukraine;
       (5) the President should lead robust engagement on all 
     bilateral and multilateral aspects of the response by the 
     United States to acts by the Russian Federation that 
     undermine the sovereignty and territorial integrity of 
     Ukraine, including on any policy coordination and alignment 
     regarding the repurposing or ordered transfer of Russian 
     sovereign assets in the context of determining compensation 
     and providing assistance to Ukraine;
       (6) as part of the robust engagement on bilateral and 
     multilateral responses to acts by the Russian Federation that 
     undermine the sovereignty and territorial integrity of 
     Ukraine, the President should endeavor to facilitate creation 
     of, and United States participation in, an international 
     mechanism regarding the repurposing or seizure of sovereign 
     assets of the Russian Federation for the benefit of Ukraine.
       (7) the repurposing of Russian sovereign assets is in the 
     national interests of the United States and consistent with 
     United States and international law;
       (8) the United States should work with international allies 
     and partners on the repurposing of Russian sovereign assets 
     as part of a coordinated, multilateral effort, including with 
     G7 countries and other countries in which Russian sovereign 
     assets are located; and
       (9) any effort by the United States to confiscate and 
     repurpose Russian sovereign assets should be undertaken 
     alongside international allies and partners as part of a 
     coordinated, multilateral effort, including with G7 
     countries, the European Union, Australia, and other countries 
     in which Russian sovereign assets are located.

     SEC. 103. PROHIBITION ON RELEASE OF BLOCKED RUSSIAN SOVEREIGN 
                   ASSETS.

       (a) In General.--No Russian sovereign asset that is blocked 
     or effectively immobilized by the Department of the Treasury 
     before the date specified in section 104(j) may be released

     until the date on which the President certifies to the 
     appropriate congressional committees that--
       (1) hostilities between the Russian Federation and Ukraine 
     have ceased; and
       (2)(A) full compensation has been made to Ukraine for harms 
     resulting from the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian 
     Federation; or
       (B) the Russian Federation is participating in a bona fide 
     international mechanism that, by agreement, will discharge 
     the obligations of the Russian Federation to compensate 
     Ukraine for all amounts determined to be owed to Ukraine.
       (b) Notification.--Not later than 30 days before the 
     release or mobilization of a Russian sovereign asset that is 
     blocked or effectively immobilized by the Department of the 
     Treasury, the President shall submit to the appropriate 
     congressional committees--

[[Page H2570]]

       (1) a notification of the decision to take the action that 
     releases or mobilizes the asset; and
       (2) a justification in writing for such decision.
       (c) Joint Resolution of Disapproval.--
       (1) In general.--No Russian sovereign asset that is blocked 
     or effectively immobilized by the Department of the Treasury 
     may be released or mobilized if, within 30 days of receipt of 
     the notification and justification required under subsection 
     (b), a joint resolution is enacted into law prohibiting the 
     proposed release or mobilization.
       (2) Expedited procedures.--Any joint resolution described 
     in paragraph (1) introduced in either House of Congress shall 
     be considered in accordance with the provisions of section 
     601(b) of the International Security Assistance and Arms 
     Export Control Act of 1976 (Public Law 94-329; 90 Stat. 765), 
     except that any such resolution shall be subject to germane 
     amendments. If such a joint resolution should be vetoed by 
     the President, the time for debate in consideration of the 
     veto message on such measure shall be limited to 20 hours in 
     the Senate and in the House of Representatives shall be 
     determined in accordance with the Rules of the House.
       (d) Cooperation on Prohibition of Release of Certain 
     Russian Sovereign Assets.--Notwithstanding subsection (a), 
     the President may take such actions as may be necessary to 
     seek to obtain an agreement or arrangement to which the 
     Government of Ukraine is party that discharges the Russian 
     Federation from further obligations to compensate Ukraine.

                         DIVISION H--MAHSA ACT

     SEC. 1. SHORT TITLE.

       This Act may be cited as the ``Mahsa Amini Human rights and 
     Security Accountability Act'' or the ``MAHSA Act''.

     SEC. 2. IMPOSITION OF SANCTIONS ON IRAN'S SUPREME LEADER'S 
                   OFFICE, ITS APPOINTEES, AND ANY AFFILIATED 
                   PERSONS.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) The Supreme Leader is an institution of the Islamic 
     Republic of Iran.
       (2) The Supreme Leader holds ultimate authority over Iran's 
     judiciary and security apparatus, including the Ministry of 
     Intelligence and Security, law enforcement forces under the 
     Interior Ministry, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps 
     (IRGC), and the Basij, a nationwide volunteer paramilitary 
     group subordinate to the IRGC, all of which have engaged in 
     human rights abuses in Iran. Additionally the IRGC, a United 
     States designated Foreign Terrorist Organization, which 
     reports to the Supreme Leader, continues to perpetrate 
     terrorism around the globe, including attempts to kill and 
     kidnap American citizens on United States soil.
       (3) The Supreme Leader appoints the head of Iran's 
     judiciary. International observers continue to criticize the 
     lack of independence of Iran's judicial system and maintained 
     that trials disregarded international standards of fairness.
       (4) The revolutionary courts, created by Iran's former 
     Supreme Leader Ruhollah Khomeini, within Iran's judiciary, 
     are chiefly responsible for hearing cases of political 
     offenses, operate in parallel to Iran's criminal justice 
     system and routinely hold grossly unfair trials without due 
     process, handing down

[[Page H2578]]

     predetermined verdicts and rubberstamping executions for 
     political purpose.
       (5) The Iranian security and law enforcement forces engage 
     in serious human rights abuse at the behest of the Supreme 
     Leader.
       (6) Iran's President, Ebrahim Raisi, sits at the helm of 
     the most sanctioned cabinet in Iranian history which includes 
     internationally sanctioned rights violators. Raisi has 
     supported the recent crackdown on protestors and is a rights 
     violator himself, having served on a ``death commission'' in 
     1988 that led to the execution of several thousand political 
     prisoners in Iran. He most recently served as the head of 
     Iran's judiciary, a position appointed by Iran's current 
     Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, and may likely be a potential 
     candidate to replace Khamenei as Iran's next Supreme Leader.
       (7) On September 16, 2022, a 22-year-old woman, Mahsa 
     Amini, died in the detention of the Morality Police after 
     being beaten and detained for allegedly transgressing 
     discriminatory dress codes for women. This tragic incident 
     triggered widespread, pro-women's rights, pro-democracy 
     protests across all of Iran's 31 provinces, calling for the 
     end to Iran's theocratic regime.
       (8) In the course of the protests, the Iranian security 
     forces' violent crackdown includes mass arrests, well 
     documented beating of protestors, throttling of the internet 
     and telecommunications services, and shooting protestors with 
     live ammunition. Iranian security forces have reportedly 
     killed hundreds of protestors and other civilians, including 
     women and children, and wounded many more.
       (9) Iran's Supreme Leader is the leader of the ``Axis of 
     Resistance'', which is a network of Tehran's terror proxy and 
     partner militias materially supported by the Islamic 
     Revolutionary Guard Corps that targets the United States as 
     well as its allies and partners.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the United States shall stand with and support the 
     people of Iran in their demand for fundamental human rights;
       (2) the United States shall continue to hold the Islamic 
     Republic of Iran, particularly the Supreme Leader and 
     President, accountable for abuses of human rights, 
     corruption, and export of terrorism; and
       (3) Iran must immediately end its gross violations of 
     internationally recognized human rights.
       (c) In General.--
       (1) Determination and report required.--Not later than 90 
     days after the date of the enactment of this Act, and 
     annually thereafter, the President shall--

     (c)(2) and pursue applicable sanctions against any foreign 
     person determined to meet the criteria for imposition of 
     sanctions pursuant to subparagraph (A) under the sanctions 
     programs and authorities listed in subparagraph (B), (C),

     imposition of sanctions;
       (II) a statement which, if any, of the sanctions authorized 
     by any of the sanctions programs and authorities identified 
     pursuant to subclause (I) have been imposed or will be 
     imposed within 30 days of the submission of the report; and
       (III) with respect to which any of the sanctions authorized 
     by any of the sanctions programs and authorities identified 
     pursuant to subclause (I) have not been imposed and will not 
     be imposed within 30 days of the submission of the report,

        DIVISION L--ILLICIT CAPTAGON TRAFFICKING SUPPRESSION ACT

     SEC. 1. SHORT TITLE.

       This Act may be cited as the ``Illicit Captagon Trafficking 
     Suppression Act of 2023''.

     SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

       Congress finds the following:
       (1) Industrial scale production of the amphetamine-type 
     stimulant also known as captagon, and the illicit production 
     of precursor chemicals, in territories held by the regime of 
     President Bashar al Assad in Syria are becoming more 
     sophisticated and pose a severe challenge to regional and 
     international security.
       (2) Elements of the Government of Syria are key drivers of 
     illicit trafficking in captagon, with ministerial-level 
     complicity in production and smuggling, using other armed 
     groups such as Hizballah for technical and logistical support 
     in captagon production and trafficking.
       (3) As affiliates of the Government of Syria and other 
     actors seek to export captagon, they undermine regional 
     security by empowering a broad range of criminal networks, 
     militant groups, mafia syndicates, and autocratic 
     governments.

     SEC. 3. STATEMENT OF POLICY.

       It is the policy of the United States to target 
     individuals, entities, and networks associated with the 
     Government of Syria to dismantle and degrade the 
     transnational criminal organizations, including narcotics 
     trafficking networks, associated with the regime of President 
     Bashar al Assad in Syria and Hizballah.

          DIVISION N--HOLDING IRANIAN LEADERS ACCOUNTABLE ACT

     SEC. 1. SHORT TITLE.

       This Act may be cited as the ``Holding Iranian Leaders 
     Accountable Act of 2024''.

     SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds the following:
       (1) Iran is characterized by high levels of official and 
     institutional corruption, and substantial involvement by 
     Iran's security forces, particularly the Islamic 
     Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), in the economy.
       (2) The Department of Treasury in 2019 designated the 
     Islamic Republic of Iran's financial sector as a jurisdiction 
     of primary money laundering concern, concluding, ``Iran has 
     developed covert methods for accessing the international 
     financial system and pursuing its malign activities, 
     including misusing banks and exchange houses, operating 
     procurement networks that utilize front or shell companies, 
     exploiting commercial shipping, and masking illicit 
     transactions using senior officials, including those at the 
     Central Bank of Iran (CBI).''.
       (3) In June 2019, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) 
     urged all jurisdictions to require increased supervisory 
     examination for branches and subsidiaries of financial 
     institutions based in Iran. The FATF later called upon its 
     members to introduce enhanced relevant reporting mechanisms 
     or systematic reporting of financial transactions, and 
     require increased external audit requirements, for financial 
     groups with respect to any of their branches and subsidiaries 
     located in Iran.
       (4) According to the State Department's ``Country Reports 
     on Terrorism'' in 2021, ``Iran continued to be the leading 
     state sponsor of terrorism, facilitating a wide range of 
     terrorist and other illicit activities around the world. 
     Regionally, Iran supported acts of terrorism in Bahrain, 
     Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen through proxies and partner 
     groups such as Hizballah and Hamas.''.

     SEC. __. INCLUSION OF INFORMATION ON EMERGING TECHNOLOGICAL 
                   DEVELOPMENTS IN ANNUAL CHINA MILITARY POWER 
                   REPORT.

       (a) In General.--As part of each annual report submitted

     for Fiscal Year 2000 (Public Law 106-65; 10 U.S.C. 113

     Representatives;
       (3) the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate; and
       (4) the Committee on Armed Services of the Senate.

  The CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 1160, the gentleman from 
Florida (Mr. Gimenez) and a Member opposed each will control 5 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Florida.
  Mr. GIMENEZ. Madam Chair, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Madam Chair, be it through technology transfers or monetary 
investments, we must stop funding our own destruction through tacit 
support of the PLA's technological advancement.
  This amendment requires the annual China Military Power Report to 
provide an assessment of the PRC's development in critical and emerging 
technologies, relevant to any advancement of the PLA capabilities, any 
involvement in the CCP's Military-Civil Fusion program, or any 
involvement in the development of the CCP's state surveillance 
initiatives.
  This amendment also calls on the Department of Defense, the 
Department of State, and other interagency partners to list all Chinese 
companies involved in the development of this critical technology and 
determine if any U.S. technology components are used by these companies 
or if any U.S. capital is invested in these companies.
  This is critical information to have. American dollars and ingenuity 
should not be building the CCP's techno-totalitarian surveillance state 
and should not be funding its gross human rights abuses. We must 
recognize the risk of support for entities involved in Xi's Military-
Civil Fusion program and understand any technological development made 
in China on the civil side instantly goes to support military 
advancements.
  Right now, Americans--usually unwittingly--are funding the People's 
Liberation Army, paying for things like aircraft carriers, fighter 
jets, and artillery shells, and facilitating a mass surveillance and 
oppression of the Chinese people.
  I think the bottom line, from my perspective, is that the CCP is an 
adversary, and you don't defeat an adversary or deter an adversary by 
shoveling billions of dollars into their military and technology 
programs. Every time we allow this to happen, we are closing the 
capability gap between our military and the PLA, giving the upper hand 
to our greatest adversary, the only country with the intent, will, and 
capability to reshape the international order, and that is China.
  Madam Chair, I now yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Illinois 
(Mr. Krishnamoorthi), the ranking member of the Select Committee on the 
CCP.
  Mr. KRISHNAMOORTHI. Madam Chair, I rise in strong support of this 
amendment, which requires the China Military Power Report, which the 
Department of Defense puts out each year to include a new section on 
the PRC's development of critical and emerging technologies. Through 
its Military-Civil Fusion strategy, the CCP has effectively combined 
its civilian and military sectors, meaning that American investment 
into China often finds its way into the hands of the People's 
Liberation Army.
  We simply cannot allow this to happen. By tracking the PRC's 
development of critical technologies, as well as any American support 
for these efforts, this amendment will help prevent the power of 
American innovation and financing from fueling the continued growth of 
China's military power.
  Madam Chair, I urge strong support for this amendment.
  Mr. GIMENEZ. Madam Chair, I yield 30 seconds to the gentleman from 
Texas (Mr. McCaul).
  Mr. McCAUL. Madam Chair, I support this amendment. I believe it will 
greatly enhance the Department of Defense's China Military Power Report 
by increasing our understanding of China's critical and emerging 
technology sector, which is a central feature of the great power 
competition that we have with China.

[[Page H2586]]

  I thank the gentleman for bringing this amendment.

                              {time}  0945

  Mr. GIMENEZ. Madam Chair, in closing, the PRC is the only competitor 
with the intent, the will, and the capability to reshape the 
international order. We must stop fueling our own demise.
  Madam Chair, I urge support of this amendment, and I yield back the 
balance of my time.
  The CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman 
from Florida (Mr. Gimenez).
  The amendment was agreed to.

  The CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 1160, the gentleman from Iowa 
(Mr. Nunn) and a Member opposed each will control 5 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Iowa.
  Mr. NUNN of Iowa. Madam Chair, I yield myself such time as I may 
consume.
  Iran is the largest sponsor of state terrorism. Their tactics of 
terror know no bounds, and they will stop at nothing to destroy our 
strongest allies in the Middle East.
  Indeed a week ago today, we saw them unleash a barrage of weapons 
intended to kill thousands: Christians, Jews, Muslims. No discretion in 
between, but for a 99 percent repulse rate by Israel, America, and our 
allies, we stood firm.
  This isn't a kinetic world. As an Air Force officer, we have done 
this many times, but we must also combat terrorism at its source: its 
funding.
  As a counterintelligence officer, I know the enemy must be fought on 
the battlefield. But behind the scenes, we must also commit to 
crippling them with their lack of ability to gain financial services 
that they then supply the funding for Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthi rebels, 
and the IRGC.
  My amendment will require the U.S. Government to diligently review 
all of Iranian assets above $5 million to accurately understand where 
their funding is coming from, where it is going, and who is benefiting 
from it.
  Right now, Congress lacks critical information surrounding U.S. 
Treasury's nonenforcement of current sanctions. It will allow more than 
$80 billion in illicit oil sales alone to come into this country.
  This amendment requires transparency so Congress and the American 
people never have to hear about billions potentially being transferred 
to Iran through the press and not through this administration.
  This amendment also gives Congress knowledge that we require to 
effectively ensure oversight and draft targeted legislation to ensure 
the Iranian regime doesn't have access to the funds necessary for it to 
finance terror.
  Finally, this amendment holds Iran directly accountable for their 
direct funding of terrorism, ensuring that Iran does not have access to 
the financial assets to enable their reign of terror throughout the 
Middle East and to those right here in the United States.
  Madam Chair, I urge my colleagues to support this amendment.
  Congress must be aware of Treasury Department's relaxation and 
nonenforcement of current sanctions on Iran today, and this amendment 
should be implemented immediately.
  Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. MEEKS. Madam Chair, I claim the time in opposition to this 
amendment.
  The CHAIR. The gentleman from New York is recognized for 5 minutes.
  Mr. MEEKS. Madam Chair, the Treasury opposes this amendment because 
they believe the reporting time is so short, and the requirements are 
so onerous. They believe it is so onerous that they will have to pull 
people away from doing the important work on finding illicit actors 
that should be sanctioned and make them work on this report.
  There are also concerns about business confidentiality here. I am 
guessing, if there were more time, we could make changes in this bill. 
We could work together to make it more workable and strike a deal here. 
But given that this is an up-or-down vote on the floor for an amendment 
now, I must oppose.
  Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. NUNN of Iowa. Madam Chair, I appreciate the gentleman's comments. 
I would state the Constitution establishes Congress as a coequal 
branch. Time delays alone cannot be the reason to not move forward 
immediately.
  Madam Chair, I yield 30 seconds to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. 
McCaul) for his great work in defending Israel and supporting a 
sanction regime in Iran.
  Mr. McCAUL. Madam Chair, I thank the gentleman from Iowa for this 
amendment, and I support this amendment. It enhances congressional 
oversight as he talked about. Under Article I, we have a responsibility 
over restricted Iranian assets and accounts, including those in Qatar 
and Iraq.
  For too long, this administration has not been transparent with the 
Congress and the American people about sanctions and the like in 
reporting that to Congress, so I think this is a good step forward.
  Mr. NUNN of Iowa. Madam Chair, I yield 30 seconds to the gentleman 
from Arkansas (Mr. Hill).
  Mr. HILL. Madam Chair, I thank Mr. Nunn and Chairman McCaul for their 
leadership.
  Madam Chair, I stand in support of this amendment. We have to counter 
Iran's illicit use of funds any way we can to stop their reign of 
terror and their attack on our ally, Israel. The key to that is 
stopping their invasion of sanctions. These funds go directly to 
attacking our friends and partners, and Iran uses new and creative ways 
to do that.
  This amendment from Congressman Nunn ensures that we are stopping 
funds at the source by instructing the Treasury Department to examine 
the source and benefactor of all Iranian assets over $5 million.
  Madam Chair, I stand in support of this amendment, and I stand in 
support of the underlying bill.
  Mr. NUNN of Iowa. Madam Chair, I yield 30 seconds to the gentleman 
from New York (Mr. Lawler).
  Mr. LAWLER. Madam Chair, I rise in support of this amendment, and I 
am

proud to be a cosponsor of Representative Nunn's legislation, the 
Revoke Iranian Funding Act, that this came out of. In the wake of the 
appalling terrorist attack against Israel, it is clear that we must 
work to confront Iran and its surrogates in the region with a strong 
sanctions regime.
  Iran is the largest state sponsor of terrorism in the world, spending 
its money on terror, on developing nuclear capabilities, on taking 
hostages to use for bargaining purposes, and on funding the criminal 
IRGC.
  Among other provisions, this commonsense measure would provide 
transparency on which sanctions authorities the President is failing to 
exercise and where we can continue to cut off Iran's funding.
  Madam Chair, I urge all of my colleagues to support this amendment.
  Mr. NUNN of Iowa. Madam Chair, I yield 30 seconds to the gentleman 
from Nebraska (Mr. Bacon), my colleague and wing commander.
  Mr. BACON. Madam Chair, I stand in support of this amendment.
  We have to be clear-eyed. Iran is our adversary. They have killed 609 
Americans in Iraq. They have fueled and energized or armed Hamas that 
conducted the attacks on October 7. They armed the Hezbollah. They 
armed the Houthis. We should go after all their assets. We should take 
every dollar that we can because every dollar that they have fuels 
terrorism.
  Madam Chair, I stand in support of Mr. Nunn's amendment.
  Mr. NUNN of Iowa. Madam Chair, today we stand at a crossroads on a 
precipice.
  The result is the effect of an Iranian regime that is directly 
threatening not just our allies in the Middle East, but has access to 
funds that directly threaten us.
  While I respect my colleagues on the other side of the aisle, I would 
ask that they come forward at this important juncture to make sure that 
these funds are restricted from the use of terrorism that flows 
directly to harm those American soldiers who lost their lives just 
months ago, fellow veterans and combat in arms.
  I thank the 9/11 Families, the Foundation for Defense Fund, and all 
of those who have come forward to support this very important measure.
  Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
  The CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman 
from Iowa (Mr. Nunn).
  The question was taken; and the Chair announced that the ayes 
appeared to have it.
  Mr. MEEKS. Madam Chair, I demand a recorded vote.
  The CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on 
the amendment offered by the gentleman from Iowa will be postponed.
  Mr. McCAUL. Madam Chair, I move that the Committee do now rise.
  The motion was agreed to.
  Accordingly, the Committee rose; and the Speaker pro tempore (Ms. 
Foxx) having assumed the chair, Mr. Moylan Chair of the Committee of 
the Whole House on the state of the Union, reported that that 
Committee, having had under consideration the bill (H.R. 8038) to 
authorize the President to impose certain sanctions with respect to 
Russia and Iran, and for other purposes, had come to no resolution 
thereon.
