                 Amendment No. 48 Offered by Mr. Ogles

  The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 48 
printed in part B of House Report 118-559.
  Mr. OGLES. Madam Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.
  The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       At the end of the bill (before the short title), add the 
     following:
       Sec. _.  None of the funds made available by this Act may 
     be made available to remove the People's Republic of China 
     from the list required by section 706(1) of the Foreign 
     Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Year 2003 (Public Law 
     107-228; 22 U.S.C. 2291j-1).

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 1316, the gentleman 
from Tennessee (Mr. Ogles) and a Member opposed each will control 5 
minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Tennessee.

  Mr. OGLES. Madam Chair, under section 706-1 of the Foreign Relations 
Authorization Act for fiscal year 2003, the President is authorized to 
identify a list of countries that are major drug transit or major 
illicit drug production countries, also known as the majors list.
  China was added to the majors list in September, citing the PRC's 
role in the production of precursor chemicals used to produce illicit 
drugs.
  We have, sadly, seen the impact of Chinese fentanyl in real time. 
Overdose deaths in my beloved home State of Tennessee have increased by 
200 percent over the last 5 years, driven in part by a near-doubling of 
fentanyl seizures at the southwest border from fiscal year 2022 to 
2023, 14,700 pounds versus 27,000 pounds.
  While Joe Biden did add China to the so-called majors list, that 
designation came with a caveat. The President effectively said that 
despite overdose deaths regularly topping 100,000 a year, he was only 
adding China to the list because of the statutory definition of major 
drug source countries. It was expanded to include source countries for 
precursor chemicals.
  Biden also said that it is hard for large countries with significant 
chemical and pharmaceutical industries to prevent precursors from being 
diverted to the production of illicit drugs. The President even brought 
up an argument saying that it is hard for the U.S. to do it.
  It may be hard, Madam Chair, but we do do it. I reserve the balance 
of my time.
  Ms. LEE of California. Madam Chair, I claim the time in opposition.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman is recognized for 5 minutes.
  Ms. LEE of California. Madam Chair, I rise in opposition to this 
amendment.
  Section 706 of the 2003 Foreign Relations Authorization Act reminds 
the President to report to Congress on countries determined to be major 
drug-producing or transit countries.
  The administration produces this report and, in 2023, included the 
People's Republic of China as a significant source of precursor 
chemicals used for illegal drugs in the United States.
  There is a process in place. Prohibiting any future administration 
from making a decision as to whether the PRC should be on this list, as 
this amendment does, undermines the whole goal of this report. If 
Congress would rather come up with the list, they should do so. Until 
then, the law leaves the administration to determine who belongs on the 
list.
  This administration has made disrupting the global flow of illicit 
synthetic drugs a priority and has maintained pressure on the PRC to 
that end.
  This amendment is unnecessary, and I urge my colleagues to oppose it.
  Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. OGLES. Madam Chair, I appreciate my colleague's comments, but the 
pressure being applied by this administration is clearly ineffective. 
Just ask the families of the kids in my State or your State or his 
State who have overdosed because of the moral equivocation that Joe 
Biden has displayed between China and the United States.
  It is why we need to ensure that he is not tempted to remove China 
from the majors list. If he reluctantly put China on that list, 
Congress must make sure that he doesn't go back on his word.
  Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. LEE of California. Madam Chair, I believe in the urgency of this 
crisis, but this is not the way to address it. I yield back the balance 
of my time.
  Mr. OGLES. Madam Chair, again, I appreciate my colleague, and I do 
agree on the urgency of the situation. Extreme times sometimes require 
extreme measures. It is important that we dot the i, cross the t, and 
underline and underscore that this is a crisis in our country.
  Tonight, somewhere in my home State, someone will overdose because of 
fentanyl. Someone in your home State will overdose because of fentanyl. 
Meanwhile, Joe Biden has allowed the border to be wide open, overrun, 
and unmanned. That is unacceptable.
  Madam Chair, I urge adoption of my amendment, and I yield back the 
balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the 
gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. Ogles).
  The amendment was agreed to.


                 Amendment No. 49 Offered by Mr. Ogles

  The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 49 
printed in part B of House Report 118-559.
  Mr. OGLES. Madam Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.
  The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the 
     following:
       Sec. __.  None of the funds made available by this Act may 
     be used to pay the salary and expenses of Antony J. Blinken, 
     Secretary of State.

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 1316, the gentleman 
from Tennessee (Mr. Ogles) and a Member opposed each will control 5 
minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Tennessee.
  Mr. OGLES. Madam Chair, if you want to come up with the right policy 
position on any issue related to foreign affairs, talk to Antony 
Blinken first and then do the opposite.
  We have all seen the Secretary's inability to be correct about our 
major foreign policy concerns in the last 20 years, whether it be Iraq, 
Libya, or Yemen, giving the Iranians access to tens of billions of 
dollars, or the botched withdrawal of Afghanistan.
  He is undoubtedly one of the most professionally incompetent 
individuals to hold the title of Secretary of State. If incompetence by 
itself were a sufficient ground to remove a Senate-confirmed Cabinet 
official, the President would have very few advisers left.
  In the case of Secretary Blinken, it is more than just about 
incompetence. It is about corruption.
  We have long since learned from former Acting CIA Director Mike 
Morell that the infamous ``spies who lie'' letter, an event responsible 
for Donald Trump not being President today, was led by no one less than 
Antony Blinken. The letter, signed by 51 intelligence experts, was 
intended, according to Morell, to give Joe Biden a way to refute the 
Hunter Biden laptop story ahead of a Presidential debate in September 
2020.
  You would think this would be worthy of investigation if not outright 
impeachment.
  We just found out that at least two signatories of the ``spies who 
lie'' letter, Michael Morell and David Buckley, were actively working 
for the CIA as contractors. Think about that. The CIA contractors 
colluding with the Biden campaign to discredit Hunter Biden's laptop 
story were getting paid with Federal tax dollars.
  The Secretary has also, in perhaps the second highest profile 
instance during his tenure aside from our botched Afghanistan 
withdrawal, failed to sufficiently demonstrate America's resolve 
against terrorist thugs.
  Prime Minister Netanyahu, set to address this Chamber next month, 
expressed concerns about the administrative bottlenecks preventing 
weapons from arriving in Israel. The White House initially withheld 
approved weapons sales to Israel, including F-15s, mortars, tank 
rounds, and Joint Direct Attack Munition smart bomb kits. Thankfully, 
and finally, 50 F-15s are now on their way in support of Israel.
  Munitions delays do nothing but embolden the perception that the 
U.S.-Israel relationship is fraying. Nothing could be more dangerous 
for U.S. security interests than promoting this narrative.
  For what it is worth, nothing could be more dangerous for 
international security than perpetuating the lie that the IDF is 
wantonly murdering Palestinians or that Israel is causing famine. Both 
claims are top-level absurdities, and honest people will rightfully 
call these claims for what they are, anti-Semitic garbage.
  Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. LEE of California. Madam Chair, I claim the time in opposition.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman is recognized for 5 minutes.
  Ms. LEE of California. Madam Chair, this amendment, which I am 
opposed to, seemingly seeks to punish Secretary Blinken likely due to 
differences of opinion with the amendment's sponsor. Now, the last time 
I looked, in a democracy, I thought differences are allowed without 
punitive measures. This is a slippery slope.

[[Page H4328]]

  Given that the Secretary covers all worldwide issues, it is 
unbelievable that differing opinions would not arise.
  We cannot decide to defund the salary of a Cabinet member simply 
because a Member of Congress does not agree with all the positions the 
administration takes on issues pertaining to foreign affairs.
  Again, remember what the fundamentals of our democracy allow. This 
is, again, another move to shut it down.
  Again, to my colleagues, if you want to debate the foreign policy of 
the Biden administration, let's do that, but Secretary Blinken is doing 
his job.
  Madam Chair, I urge my colleagues to oppose this amendment, and I 
reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. OGLES. Madam Chair, in the House of Representatives, we have the 
power of the purse, and what I have proposed in this amendment is 
holding an individual accountable for his failure and incompetence in 
the role of his duties. That is our job. There has to be 
accountability.
  The ``spies who lie'' letter, CIA contractors undermining an 
election, the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan--there has to be 
accountability, and we have the ability to do so with the purse 
strings. That is a reasonable expectation.
  If Joe Biden isn't going to do his job, if Joe Biden isn't going to 
hold Blinken accountable, if Joe Biden isn't going to fire him, then we 
must do our job.
  Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. LEE of California. Madam Chair, elections matter. This is still a 
democracy.
  Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. OGLES. Madam Chair, again, I urge adoption of my amendment. This 
is straightforward and fair. This is sending a message to the Biden 
administration and to Secretary Blinken: Close our border, support our 
ally, and stand for America first.
  Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the 
gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. Ogles).
  The amendment was agreed to.


                 Amendment No. 50 Offered by Mr. Ogles

  The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 50 
printed in part B of House Report 118-559.
  Mr. OGLES. Madam Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.
  The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the 
     following:
       Sec. __.  None of the funds made available by this Act may 
     be used to administer or enforce National Security 
     Memorandum/NSM-20.

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 1316, the gentleman 
from Tennessee (Mr. Ogles) and a Member opposed each will control 5 
minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Tennessee.
  Mr. OGLES. Madam Chair, National Security Memorandum 20 represents a 
betrayal of our closest ally in the Middle East.
  Both President Biden and Secretary Blinken developed this memorandum 
to placate the terrorist sympathizers, quite frankly, within the 
Democratic Party. The memo is as despicable as it is unnecessary.
  I encourage my colleagues on the other side to highlight a single new 
legal requirement mandated by the memo. If the memo does not mandate a 
new legal requirement on arms shipments, then why do we need it?
  National Security Memorandum 20 requires that countries receiving 
U.S. security assistance provide ``'credible and reliable' written 
assurances from the recipient country that it will use any such defense 
articles in accordance with international humanitarian law and, as 
applicable, other international law.''
  This thinly veiled attack against Israel, which has done far more 
than any other nation in its position to preserve the lives of 
noncombatants, was developed with indifference to the fact that there 
are already longstanding statutes that govern the delivery of U.S. 
security assistance and even make such delivery contingent upon 
compliance with international humanitarian law.
  As the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and his Senate 
counterpart pointed out in a recent joint letter to President Biden, 
the Foreign Assistance Act already mandates that ``no assistance shall 
be furnished under this chapter or the Arms Export Control Act to any 
unit of the security forces of a foreign country if the Secretary of 
State has credible information that such unit has committed a gross 
violation of human rights.''
  Importantly, this memo also does not create any new legal requirement 
to obtain U.S. security assistance. On March 26, 2024, State Department 
spokesman Matthew Miller said as much. To quote Mr. Miller: ``It has 
always been required that these countries that are receiving defense 
articles from the United States act in compliance with international 
humanitarian law. . . . That is not a requirement that was imposed by 
the NSM. It is something that was already required by U.S. law.''
  Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. LEE of California. Madam Chair, I claim the time in opposition.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman is recognized for 5 minutes.
  Ms. LEE of California. Madam Chair, this amendment, of course, I 
oppose.
  NSM-20 ensures that any transfers of arms from the United States are 
done with partners in accordance with international law. What is the 
problem with that?
  International law says that civilians have to be protected and not 
targeted, that humanitarian actors are given access to provide 
assistance to vulnerable populations, and that weapons are to be used 
with proper oversight. What is the problem with that?

                              {time}  0945

  I truly don't understand what the objection to this would be. This 
policy, which is representative of laws and policies already on the 
books, was implemented in February and began its review with countries 
currently engaged in conflict, such as Nigeria, Ukraine, Colombia, 
Iraq, and, yes, Israel.
  No country that is in compliance with international law should be 
concerned with this review, but it gives the United States, our 
taxpayers, as the largest provider of weapons around the world, a check 
that they are not running afoul of international law either.
  NSM-20 is about good government and oversight and should be supported 
and strengthened. I urge my colleagues to oppose this amendment, and I 
reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. OGLES. Madam Chair, I pose the question: If the substance of the 
memo is already stated in law, then why do we need the memo? The answer 
is substantive and it is clear: It is political.
  This functionally useless memo, replete with unnecessarily vague 
language throughout, seems to attempt to create two classes of 
countries that receive U.S. security assistance: Israel, then everyone 
else. This memo was designed to shine a light and segregate Israel.
  As the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee pointed out in 
his letter, the NSM requires that written assurances from a country 
receiving U.S. weapons must be credible and reliable.
  What exactly does credible and reliable mean? If I was Israel, I 
would be concerned that Joe Biden would be the one in charge of 
figuring that out.
  When the recipient country says it will use defense articles in 
accordance with ``humanitarian law,'' which law or laws are President 
Biden and Secretary Blinken referring to?
  Are recipient countries supposed to know or assume what laws they are 
supposed to follow?
  Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. LEE of California. Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. OGLES. Madam Chair, the NSM contains language that says recipient 
countries can't arbitrarily deny, restrict, or otherwise impede U.S.-
supported humanitarian assistance.
  What exactly is U.S.-supported humanitarian assistance?
  If a national security reason required a recipient country to 
temporarily restrict whatever U.S.-supported humanitarian assistance 
is, would that in

[[Page H4329]]

turn deny Israel weapons it needed to defend itself?
  The language in this memo is imprecise and could be used against 
Israel and, quite frankly, other countries as well by a President who 
has made the conflict in Israel political.
  Israel is fighting for their existence. They are under attack.
  If there was a rogue state operator in Mexico that was launching 
missiles, bombs, or explosives into Texas, we would occupy Mexico City 
within 72 hours. We may or may not give it back.
  Israel has a right to defend itself, and it should not be singled out 
and undermined by this President or Secretary Blinken.
  I have had enough. Israel has had enough. The American people have 
had enough.
  This amendment is important to send a message to Biden: No more 
politics. Defend our greatest ally in the Middle East.
  Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Ms. LEE of California. Madam Chair, in closing, I don't know why the 
gentleman is making this about Israel. NSM-20 implements a regular 
process for reviewing these requirements and reporting to Congress. 
Taxpayers deserve to be ensured that these processes are upheld for 
each and every country.
  Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the 
gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. Ogles).
  The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes 
appeared to have it.
  Ms. LEE of California. Madam Chair, I demand a recorded vote.
  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further 
proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Tennessee 
will be postponed.


                 Amendment No. 54 Offered by Mr. Perry

  The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 54 
printed in part B of House Report 118-559.
  Mr. PERRY. Madam Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.
  The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       Page 29, line 13, after the dollar amount, insert 
     ``(reduced by $3,452,362,000)''.
       Page 298, line 10, after the dollar amount, insert 
     ``(increased by $3,452,362,000)''.

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 1316, the gentleman 
from Pennsylvania (Mr. Perry) and a Member opposed each will control 5 
minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Pennsylvania.
  Mr. PERRY. Madam Chair, I want to start out by thanking my good 
friend from Florida for his hard work and effort on this and also for 
his hard work and his outstanding effort to speak on behalf of the 
Cuban people who wish to be free and to speak against communism 
worldwide. I thank him for that.
  Everyday Americans across our Nation, like the folks that I have the 
honor to represent in Pennsylvania in the Tenth Congressional District, 
just a few hours from this place, are still suffering the impacts of 
this administration's reckless spending.
  Unlike the Federal Government, they have to make tough choices. They 
have got to make their budgets balance. They can't just print money. 
They have got to stretch their dollars. They have to forgo auto repairs 
or maybe something around their home that needs attention, take items 
off their grocery list, choose different items that they can afford, 
all because of too much spending. They pare back their spending in ways 
that may be uncomfortable because we won't in this town.
  To me, it is unacceptable and it is unconscionable. Madam Chair, the 
United States Congress has been unwilling to do the same for decades 
now.
  While, like last year, I appreciate that the underlying bill has 
eliminated or reduced many wasteful accounts--and it has due to the 
good work of the chairman here--with all due respect, there is still a 
lot of work to be done and can be done.
  The State Department and international organizations funded by the 
final State-Foreign Operations funding bills have time and time again 
advanced and sent American tax dollars to causes that run counter to 
American values and our foreign policy objectives.
  This amendment reduces the amount for international disaster 
assistance from just over $3.4 billion to zero.
  While I admire the desire of many, including myself, to be charitable 
and help others around the world, we have got to remember, we are being 
charitable with other people's money. We are being charitable with 
taxpayers' money, taxpayers that can barely afford their own bills, 
their own electricity bills, food bills, and daycare bills. God forbid 
you have got to buy a new car or a new home or pay the interest rates, 
all due to what is happening here.
  We want to be charitable, but the fact of the matter, Madam Chair, is 
that America is broke. It is hard to help other folks when you can't 
help yourself.
  This is nearly $3.5 billion, which like many of the other dollars 
spent in this bill, does not go directly to helping Americans in 
America. Our constituents simply can't afford yet another line item on 
their tab while they are already bearing the brunt of reckless spending 
by President Biden.
  Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. LEE of California. Madam Chair, I claim the time in opposition to 
this amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman is recognized for 5 minutes.
  Ms. LEE of California. Madam Chair, I rise in strong opposition to 
this amendment. Once again, it is very disconcerting to think that 
Republicans want to actually offer an amendment that really is a 
lifeline for millions of people. It is the most basic expression of 
American commitment to the dignity of everyone.
  The IDA account provides lifesaving support, including food, water, 
shelter, emergency healthcare, sanitation and hygiene, and critical 
nutrition services to the world's most vulnerable and hardest to reach 
people. Whether one has a religion or not, our values and people of 
faith would be shocked to know that the Republicans want to do this.
  This assistance is needed now more than ever. After years of decline, 
there are more people facing hunger now than in 2019, almost 30 percent 
of the global population.
  It is important to provide this humanitarian assistance because it is 
morally the right thing to do and because it reflects also on our 
global leadership. I hope there is still a sense of morality and a 
sense of values as you, the Republicans, look at how the impact of 
cutting many of these programs will impact human beings and their 
lives.
  I would ask my colleagues what they would do if they could not 
protect their children from preventable disease, not be able to afford 
food or clean water that does not make them sick? You would do almost 
anything to prevent that from happening.
  It is really unthinkable that the United States would stop providing 
this support to those who have lost everything through a natural 
disaster or conflict. The consequences of this amendment are almost too 
terrible to contemplate.
  Madam Chair, I urge my colleagues to oppose this amendment, and I 
reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. PERRY. Madam Chair, we don't have to question each other's 
morality here. We all want to help. Everybody wants to be happy.
  We are Representatives of the United States, and we are heading into 
disaster season in the United States of America. Whether it is 
hurricanes across the South or wildfires in the West, it is coming 
here.
  This is about foreign disaster aid, Madam Chair, sending money 
abroad. We can always do that when there is something that happens. We 
can come to Congress here, and we can come in and vote for things at 
that time when they happen.
  I want to say this, Madam Chair. We want to put our chairman in the 
best position possible to negotiate. This isn't about questioning our 
moral objectives party by party, side by side, but we know that there 
is going to be a negotiation with the Senate. We know that. We want to 
put this chairman in the best position possible.
  Nobody here believes that we are going to end up with less than we go 
in

[[Page H4330]]

with. You are going to end up with more. That is what happens every 
single time in this body.
  Let's put this chairman in the best position possible when he goes in 
and they say: Oh, my goodness, this isn't going to work. Then he can 
negotiate from there. Maybe it is not $3.5 billion. Maybe it is $3.4 
billion, which isn't a big reduction in Pennsylvania where people can't 
pay their electricity bills, but it is something. It is a start down 
the road. I want to put this chairman in the best possible position to 
negotiate.
  Madam Chair, I urge adoption, and I yield back the balance of my 
time.
  Ms. LEE of California. Madam Chair, of course, I fully disagree with 
the gentleman.
  This is about questioning our moral objectives. Using millions of 
people's lives as a negotiating tactic is truly questionable and 
despicable.
  Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the 
gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Perry).
  The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes

  Mr. DIAZ-BALART. Madam Chair, I demand a recorded vote.
  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further 
proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Pennsylvania

  The Acting CHAIR. The Chair understands that amendment No. 56 will

                Amendment No. 57 Offered by Mrs. Ramirez

  The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 57 
printed in part B of House Report 118-559.
  Mrs. RAMIREZ. Madam Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.
  The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       Page 214, strike line 13 and all that follows through page 
     215, line 22.

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 1316, the gentlewoman 
from Illinois (Mrs. Ramirez) and a Member opposed each will control 5 
minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Illinois.
  Mrs. RAMIREZ. Madam Chair, I rise in support of my amendment to H.R. 
8771.
  Today, in a few hours, I will be launching my new Global Migration 
Caucus. While I will stand with colleagues to affirm there are those of 
us in Congress who want to be an effective ally to global efforts to 
create a safer and more equitable world where people can build the life 
they want and deserve at home, today my Republican colleagues, however, 
seek to withdraw our participation in coordinating global efforts, 
eliminate critical support for migration management, and fuel the 
crisis of displacement they claim they so desperately want to address.
  We must not let their reckless and dangerous efforts go unchallenged.
  My amendment would strike the harmful and hateful language of the 
underlying bill that prohibits the support of safe and humane migration 
management efforts around the world.
  As vice ranking member of the Homeland Security Committee, I hear my 
colleagues talk about what is happening at the border, especially at 
the southern border. However, they ignore questions about why we are 
seeing a humanitarian crisis at our border. They don't want to talk 
about the root causes of migration.
  Violence, democratic backsliding, economic exclusion, and climate 
change are some of the crises that are driving families from their 
homes in search of safety and stability, much like what happened to our 
ancestors in the early 1900s or the 1950s.
  Everything I have witnessed throughout my official trips and 
conversations with families, governments, and civil society points to 
this truth: Our country's safety is fundamentally connected to the 
stability, security, and sustainability people experience or do not 
experience across the globe.
  I have heard a mother talk with desperation about the sexual violence 
and trauma that her 12-year-old endured while crossing the Darien. I 
heard stories of threats of violence and cartel intimidation that drove 
a mother to send her sons on a harrowing journey through dangerous 
migration routes.
  For so many people around the world, the choice is flee or die.
  Again, it is no surprise to me that the party of reactionary, 
isolationist, fear-based, and xenophobic politics doesn't understand 
the ideal of cooperation and prevention. Both cooperation and 
prevention require forethought, working across differences, embracing 
possibilities, and a commitment to inclusion, none of which are 
reflected in H.R. 8771.
  An example is that the bill specifically bans funding for the Safe 
Mobility Offices, which are a cost-effective part of the U.S. 
Government's strategy to reduce irregular migration within the Western 
Hemisphere.
  To my Republican colleagues: Which one is it?
  Do you want less irregular migration, or do you want to slash funding 
to address the conditions that drive displacement around the world and 
ban funding for programs to increase access to lawful humanitarian 
pathways to the United States and other countries?
  Madam Chairman, this amendment is necessary. This amendment will 
address the issues. I hope that my colleagues in this Congress will, 
maybe in some cases for the first time, do the commonsense thing: 
address the issues they say they care so much about and, in fact, 
support migration management and support countries that need resources 
so they do not have to come to our southern border.
  Madam Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. DIAZ-BALART. Madam Chairman, I rise in opposition to this 
amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Florida is recognized for 5 
minutes.
  Mr. DIAZ-BALART. Madam Chairman, the reason for the situation at the 
southern border can be explained by just two words: Joe Biden. That is 
who has created the crisis at the southern border.
  Now, this amendment attempts to strike section 7045(f). By the way, 
much of this is already in existing law. What this amendment is really 
basically saying is: We don't have an issue with the southern border. 
There is no problem with the southern border.
  Madam Chairman, we have to realize that close to 10 million people 
have crossed unlawfully into the United States under this President. 
That is roughly the population of the entire State of Michigan for 
God's sake.
  This bill attempts to do what we can, despite the President of the 
United States, to stop this crisis that has been created by Mr. Joe 
Biden.
  The bill prohibits outright funding for programs that push migrants 
toward the United States unlawfully either by giving them cash cards or 
giving them information about future stops, where to go, connecting 
them with lawyers and even coaching them in order to answer the 
questions falsely while claiming asylum.
  How can anyone support that?
  This is a country that believes in the rule of law.
  If that were not enough, this amendment also proposes to strike the 
prohibition on funding to the Safe Mobility Offices and the welcome 
court unless authorized. That is what the language in the bill does. If 
that is something you support, then authorize it for God's sake.
  These are gimmicks which spend tens of millions of taxpayer dollars 
to circumvent U.S. law for God's sake.
  In the case of the welcome court, this is, in essence, like a 
matchmaking entity like match.com for folks trying to get here to the 
United States illegally. It recruits in the United States so-called 
sponsors to sponsor these individuals, even though they have no 
connections other than now this kind of like match system. By doing so, 
the Biden administration, frankly, has made the situation even worse.
  For God's sake, the administration is now even trying to get 
universities involved. This is coming out of our Foreign Affairs budget 
which is intended to support our national security.

  Again, safe mobility centers are operating overseas in places like 
Ecuador and Colombia to facilitate a fast track of tens of thousands of 
people to use a mobile app to obtain authorization to

[[Page H4331]]

then literally then show up on the southern border that is wide-open--
let me restate that--that is controlled absolutely by the Mexican narco 
cartels, and that is how these folks are coming into the United States.
  All of this is to facilitate the cartels and to help the cartels 
market this illegal cartel business.
  I know some people might say: Well, they are going to come anyway or 
another way if we don't do this.
  However, advertising and using taxpayer money to become the 
advertising source for marketing to folks who come into the United 
States unlawfully is, frankly, something that is totally unacceptable.
  If these programs that the gentlewoman wants to fund are so good, 
then bring them up in front of Congress and have them authorized. They 
would get shot down dramatically because everybody can see what this 
is. This is using taxpayer money to circumvent the law which hurts not 
only our national security efforts and our national security interests, 
but it also hurts the folks who have been waiting years to try to come 
legally into the United States.
  Madam Chairman, I could not urge our colleagues in a more forceful 
way to strongly oppose this amendment, and I reserve the balance of my 
time.
  Mrs. RAMIREZ. Madam Chair, might I inquire how much time is remaining 
on both sides.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Illinois has 1 minute 
remaining.
  The gentleman from Florida has 30 seconds remaining.
  Mrs. RAMIREZ. In closing, Madam Chair, I find it really ironic and 
hypocritical when one moment you say: Close the borders, don't let 
people in, and if they want to come, then let them come the legal way. 
Then we create programs, one, to invest in communities outside of the 
U.S. so that they don't have to come to the southern border, they don't 
have to do that dangerous journey, we create programs of safe mobility 
so they can stay in places like Colombia and other places like Ecuador 
or Espana in the future, and then you say: Not that either.
  The reality is that this is not about President Biden. This is about 
you want to create crisis, chaos, and fear-mongering at all costs even 
if at one moment you say this and the other moment you say that, 
because you have no intention in addressing issues of immigration or 
border. You want to create chaos because it is the only way you win.
  My amendment will allow us to address the root causes of migration to 
ensure that people can stay in their home countries, and then you won't 
see them at the southern border. To me that is a solution, and it is 
why I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes.''
  The Acting CHAIR. The time of the gentlewoman has expired.
  Members are reminded to address their remarks to the Chair.
  Mr. DIAZ-BALART. Madam Chair, may I ask how much time I have 
remaining.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Florida has 30 seconds 
remaining.
  Mr. DIAZ-BALART. Madam Chair, I yield the balance of my time to the 
gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Tiffany) who is opposed, as I am, to this 
amendment.
  Mr. TIFFANY. Madam Chair, I rise in opposition to this amendment.
  Madam Chair, listen to the Orwellian language that we heard from the 
other side here in regard to irregular migration.
  This is laundering that is going on. This is laundering via the 
welcome court and the Safe Mobility Office. The other thing that we 
heard was civility. How could this possibly be civil?
  Is it civil to have human trafficking on an epic scale?
  Is it civil to have cartels that are brutalizing people, women 
especially, who are being raped and murdered coming through the 
southern border and the fentanyl crisis that is the number one killer 
of our young people in America?
  The Acting CHAIR. The time of the gentleman has expired.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the 
gentlewoman from Illinois (Mrs. Ramirez).
  The question was taken; in the opinion of the Chair the noes have it.
  The amendment is not agreed to.


                Amendment No. 59 offered by Mrs. Spartz

  The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 59 
printed in part B of House Report 118-559.
  Mrs. SPARTZ. Madam Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.
  The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the 
     following:
       Sec. __.  None of the funds made available by this Act may 
     be used by the Secretary of State as a contribution to any 
     organization, agency, commission, or program within the 
     United Nations system except as authorized by law.

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 1316, the gentlewoman 
from Indiana (Mrs. Spartz) and a Member opposed each will control 5 
minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Indiana.
  Mrs. SPARTZ. Madam Chair, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Madam Chair, I have a very simple amendment. Actually, what it does 
is it just says that if we, Congress, do not authorize funds 
specifically for the U.N., which should be part of our process, then 
this agency shouldn't be funded and projects the U.N. is doing 
shouldn't be funded. I probably couldn't defund the whole U.N., but I 
will take much smaller steps and say that Congress needs to do its job. 
If it is not authorized, that is a process that Congress should follow, 
and it shouldn't be funded.
  I know that is not a problem if the Appropriations Committee or the 
authorization committee didn't do its job; but if they didn't do their 
job, then they should start doing their job.
  I think the process is broken, and we need to start dealing with 
corrupt agencies at the U.N.
  Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. MENG. Madam Chair, I claim the time in opposition to the 
amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from New York is recognized for 5 
minutes.
  Ms. MENG. I rise in strong opposition to this amendment. The bill, as 
it stands, already cuts 83 percent of the contributions to 
international organization accounts compared to fiscal year 2024 and 
excludes funding for our treaty obligations, as well as the majority of 
U.N. organizations that we traditionally fund.
  We have watched as the People's Republic of China challenges the U.S. 
at the U.N. and other multilateral institutions working to insert their 
values of authoritarianism and disrespect for human rights.
  By cutting all funding to the U.N. and its agencies, this bill leaves 
a void for our adversaries to fill.
  Madam Chair, let me give you one example of the devastating effect of 
this amendment.
  In 2023 the U.S. was the largest contributor to UNICEF's core 
resources. It is this consistent funding that has enabled UNICEF and 
partners to reduce under 5 childhood mortality by more than one-half 
since the year 2000, and more children are surviving today than ever 
before.

                              {time}  1015

  This support could end. The U.N. is not perfect. No large bureaucracy 
is. Our ability to improve its operations, make sure its stances 
reflect our values, and have the U.N. serve its mission for peace 
hinges on the U.S. being an active, participating member of that 
organization.
  I fully support the authorization of these entities, but we all know 
that will not happen overnight. While we work toward that goal, we 
cannot cut off participation and support.
  Madam Chair, I urge my colleagues to oppose this amendment, and I 
reserve the balance of my time.
  Mrs. SPARTZ. Madam Chair, I think my colleague is not representing 
the amendment very correctly. This amendment does not defund the full 
U.N., which we probably should, considering what happened. It just 
defunds programs that we did not explicitly authorize. Congress should 
be doing its job.
  Let's talk about UNICEF. UNICEF does not want to admit its 
shortcomings in its humanitarian support to children who allege that 
they were raped and sexually abused by peacekeepers in the Central 
African Republic. This is the same U.N. agency that U.N. employees were 
alleged to have participated in the Hamas attack and

[[Page H4332]]

where just recently one U.S. agency's staff whistleblower alleged large 
sums are being lost to corruption in Iraq as donors fail to track 
spending on $1.5 billion in aid projects. Roughly a half billion was 
funded by taxpayers of the United States.
  The employees actually said it is not just this culture of bribery 
fueled by the U.N. It is also this culture of funds being spent on the 
U.N.'s large overhead and not really even getting to the people.
  I have been on the ground a lot. I will be honest with you, our 
allies around the world are laughing that we are giving money to 
corrupt organizations controlled by Russia and China and may work most 
of the time against American interests.
  It doesn't really help the people. I have been in war zones, 
including Ukraine, the Middle East, and Africa. You haven't seen them. 
You come to fancy hotels with fancy cars with executives showing up for 
pictures with congressional delegations, and people are suffering and 
dying. Americans are paying large money in the borrowed debt of our 
grandchildren to make some very wealthy and corrupt.
  I think this is embarrassing for us. We don't take our jobs 
seriously. The Congress should start looking at these agencies and 
looking at the corruption within these agencies. I think this is 
something we have to take way more seriously. We should not give blank 
checks to corrupt organizations like the U.N. We need to do our jobs.
  I truly believe we should really send a message that Americans are 
not stupid, that we are not going to be taken advantage of, that 
Congress is not stupid, that we actually will start looking at these 
programs, authorizing them, and seeing what is really happening on the 
ground if we really want to achieve results.
  Our adversaries and our allies are going to be laughing at us, I will 
be honest with you. Most of our allies are saying we are not going to 
be giving money to these corrupt organizations like the U.N. I think 
Congress needs to act seriously.
  Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIR. Members are reminded to direct their remarks to the 
Chair.
  Ms. MENG. Madam Chair, as mentioned before, our participation is in 
the United States' interest. I oppose this amendment. I yield back the 
balance of my time.
  Mrs. SPARTZ. Madam Chair, I think our national interest is to make 
sure that taxpayers' funds are really achieving goals in our best 
interest. Unfortunately, organizations like the U.N. being corrupt 
actually sabotage, diminish, and work against our national interests 
around the world and make a lot of people who are not our friends very 
wealthy.
  We have now a serious situation in our country, serious debt, and 
inflation that has become a national security issue.
  Madam Chair, I urge my colleagues to become stronger, start 
challenging the corruption, and not to be afraid to challenge the 
status quo. It is the right thing to do. That is why people elect us 
here.
  Madam Chair, I urge my colleagues to support this amendment, and I 
yield back the balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the 
gentlewoman from Indiana (Mrs. Spartz).
  The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes 
appeared to have it.
  Ms. MENG. Madam Chair, I demand a recorded vote.
  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further 
proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from Indiana 
will be postponed.
  Ms. MENG. Madam Chair, I rise as the designee of the gentlewoman from 
Connecticut (Ms. DeLauro), and I move to strike the last word.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from New York is recognized for 5 
minutes.
  Ms. MENG. Madam Chair, I rise in opposition to this bill for many 
reasons, but I want to take this opportunity to focus on one in 
particular. It is the text on women's reproductive health and rights 
around the world.
  In 2024, no woman should die while giving life. Every individual 
should have the right to decide when, whether, and with whom to start a 
family. Every person should be able to make choices about their bodies 
without violence or coercion.
  As we have seen, our colleagues do not share this commitment to 
reproductive rights. This week, we marked the solemn anniversary of the 
Dobbs decision, which stripped those rights from tens of millions of 
women. Now, this bill is trying to take Dobbs global by attacking the 
health and rights of women and girls around the world.
  It would also ban contributions to the U.N. Population Fund, UNFPA, 
an organization that serves 24.2 million women and couples every year. 
In 2023, with U.S. funding alone, UNFPA saved 4,000 moms from dying in 
childbirth and prevented 2 million unintended pregnancies through 
voluntary contraception.
  It gets worse. This bill would also codify the Trump-era global gag 
rule into law, which violates the trusted relationships between 
patients and providers and blocks access to essential reproductive 
healthcare.
  For this reason, at the appropriate time, I will offer a motion to 
recommit this bill back to committee. If the House rules permitted, I 
would have offered the motion with an important amendment to this bill.
  My amendment would simply reinstate current law by striking the ban 
on funding for UNFPA and bringing U.S. bilateral investments and family 
planning back to the current enacted level. It would also remove the 
codification of the global gag rule.
  Additionally, my amendment does not change any of the current 
provisions in law that restrict the use of family planning funds. It 
would simply ensure that countries are setting their own health 
policies, not the United States.
  We can't in good conscience support this bill knowing the detrimental 
impact it would have on the health and well-being of women, children, 
and families worldwide.
  At the end of the debate, I will insert into the Record the text of 
this amendment. I hope my colleagues will join me in voting for the 
motion to recommit.
  Madam Chair, I include in the Record the text of the amendment.

       Ms. Meng moves to recommit the bill H.R. 8771 to the 
     Committee on Appropriations with the following amendment:
       Amend section 7057 to read as follows:


SUPPORT FOR WOMEN'S REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH/FAMILY PLANNING ACTIVITIES AND 
                     UNITED NATIONS POPULATION FUND

       Sec. 7057. (a) Assistance--Of the funds provided under 
     title III of this Act for fiscal year 2025, not less than 
     $575,000,000 shall be made available for family planning/
     reproductive health.
        (b) Contribution to United Nations Population Fund--(1) Of 
     the funds made available in this Act for fiscal year 2025, a 
     voluntary contribution may be made to the United Nations 
     Population Fund (UNFPA) in order to provide assistance to 
     expand access and use of contraception in developing 
     countries, to furnish maternal and reproductive health care 
     in humanitarian crises, to address the harmful practices of 
     female genital mutilation and child, early and forced 
     marriage, and to prevent obstetric fistula.
       (2) Funds appropriated by this Act for UNFPA, that are not 
     made available for UNFPA because of the operation of any 
     provision of law, shall be transferred to the ``Global Health 
     Programs'' account and shall be made available for family 
     planning, maternal, and reproductive health activities, 
     subject to the regular notification procedures of the 
     Committees on Appropriations.
       (3) None of the funds made available by this Act may be 
     used by UNFPA for a country program in the People's Republic 
     of China.
       (4) Funds made available by this Act for UNFPA may not be 
     made available unless--
       (A) UNFPA maintains funds made available by this Act in an 
     account separate from other accounts of UNFPA and does not 
     commingle such funds with other sums; and
       (B) UNFPA does not fund abortions.
        (5)(A) Not later than 4 months after the date of enactment 
     of this Act, the Secretary of State shall submit a report to 
     the Committees on Appropriations indicating the amount of 
     funds that the UNFPA is budgeting for the year in which the 
     report is submitted for a country program in the People's 
     Republic of China.
       (B) If a report under the preceding subparagraph (A) 
     indicates that the UNFPA plans to spend funds for a country 
     program in the People's Republic of China in the year covered 
     by the report, then the amount of such funds the UNFPA plans 
     to spend in the People's Republic of China shall be deducted 
     from the funds made available to UNFPA after March 1 for 
     obligation for the remainder of the fiscal year in which the 
     report is submitted.

       Strike subsection (b) of section 7058.

  Ms. MENG. Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.


                 Amendment No. 61 Offered by Mr. Steube

  The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 61 
printed in part B of House Report 118-559.
  Mr. STEUBE. Madam Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.
  The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the 
     following:
       Sec. __.  None of the funds appropriated or otherwise made 
     available by this Act may be made available to the Lebanese 
     armed forces.

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 1316, the gentleman 
from Florida (Mr. Steube) and a Member opposed each will control 5 
minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Florida.
  Mr. STEUBE. Madam Chair, Americans deserve the assurance that their 
hard-earned taxpayer dollars are going to fulfill the needs of the 
American people and not be funneled to terrorists who threaten our very 
existence.
  I stood here just 9 months ago offering the same amendment to ensure 
that no taxpayer funds would be made available to the Lebanese Armed 
Forces, a military force that emboldens Hezbollah and their Iranian 
handlers to spread terror and destruction upon our ally, Israel, and 
the entire Middle East. Guess what happened just 9 days later on 
October 7?
  To say that Hezbollah and the Lebanese Government are two separate 
entities is just plain false. They are merely two sides of the same 
coin. Not only do Hezbollah and its allies control dozens of seats in 
Lebanon's parliament, but they literally sit at the helm of the 
military force that our tax dollars have been propping up since 2006. 
Its grip extends across its military, through its government, and over 
a majority of its politicians.
  Even advocates of aid to the Lebanese military recognize Hezbollah's 
influence over its Defense Ministry is rampant. We may as well be 
sending these checks directly to Hezbollah headquarters.
  Money is fungible. Why should the generosity of the American people 
be used to fund a terror haven unwilling and unable to counter 
Hezbollah?
  As we stand here today, Israel is in a state of war with Hamas. An 
all-out war with Hezbollah to the north seems to be imminent. Hezbollah 
leader Hassan Nasrallah has repeatedly threatened war with Israel while 
suggesting his force far exceeds 100,000 fighters. We are fighting an 
army that emboldens Hezbollah to spill the blood of our allies.
  This really should be a bipartisan issue, but where are the Democrats 
complaining about Lebanon's human rights atrocities? The Lebanese Armed 
Forces shoot protesters and forcibly repatriate Syrian refugees. Yet, 
on this issue, Democrats tell us to turn a blind eye and fund 
Hezbollah's allies in the Lebanese Armed Forces.
  In fact, the majority of Lebanon's military expenditures don't even 
go toward its defense. Over 70 percent of its budget is allocated for 
personnel salaries and excessive benefits, which even include domestic 
servants and drivers for high-ranking officers.
  This didn't stop the United States last year from partnering with the 
U.N. to implement the Livelihood Support Program, which disbursed more 
than $55 million to 70,000 LAF personnel and helps fulfill their 
generals' lavish lifestyles. American taxpayers expect their hard-
earned dollars to be spent on American interests, not armed Mercedes 
and other luxurious goods for Lebanese generals.
  Given the rampant terror financing and money laundering activities 
that Hezbollah uses to extend its reign across nearly every facet of 
life in Lebanon, we must acknowledge that foreign aid dollars sent to 
the Lebanese Armed Forces will ultimately be used by Hezbollah to 
further expand its terrorist actions against our ally, Israel.
  Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. ISSA. Madam Speaker, I rise in opposition to the amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from California is recognized for 5 
minutes.
  Mr. ISSA. Madam Chair, the good intent of my colleague from Florida 
cannot diminish the fact that administration after administration, 
State Department after State Department, and the Department of Defense 
under both this and the previous administration recognized the 
importance of a stable and peaceful Lebanon. They recognized that the 
Lebanese Armed Forces maintain a force against the taking over of their 
country either by Hezbollah, Palestinians, Syrians, or others.
  I have been to Lebanon when it was under foreign control by Syria. I 
have seen the Lebanese Armed Forces push them out. I have also seen the 
Lebanese Armed Forces train with our military personnel, who, in fact, 
maintain close and daily relations with the Lebanese Armed Forces.
  Madam Chair, I yield to the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. LaHood).
  Mr. LaHOOD. Madam Chair, I rise in opposition to this amendment.
  The longstanding U.S. military investment for the independent 
Lebanese Armed Forces has worked to support U.S. security interests in 
the Middle East for over 15 years. Discontinuing this funding now will 
only serve to embolden Hezbollah on Lebanon's southern border.
  I am proud to represent over 8,000 Lebanese-American families in my 
district in Peoria, Illinois. As the co-chair of the U.S.-Lebanon 
Friendship Congressional Caucus and a member of the House Intelligence 
Committee, I work closely with the brave men and women in the U.S. 
military and intelligence community to ensure robust and stringent 
oversight of U.S. investment into the Lebanese Armed Forces, including 
our Special Forces members embedded with the LAF. Let me just repeat 
that: Every day, we have 30 U.S. military Special Forces embedded with 
the LAF.

  There has not been one piece of evidence presented today from our 
U.S. military that, in fact, any of this money goes to Hezbollah or 
anybody else. Given the ongoing tension between Israel and Hezbollah, 
this is the wrong time to prohibit this funding. It would only serve to 
strengthen Hezbollah on the battlefield against Israel.
  The stability of the LAF is imperative to the region and serves as an 
important counter to Hezbollah's damaging presence in Lebanon. The LAF, 
the Lebanese Armed Forces, stands as an independent, secular force in 
Lebanon, preventing terror attacks by ISIS, countering the actions of 
Hezbollah, fighting against weapons and drug smuggling, and maintaining 
internal stability.
  They are the glue that keeps the country together. I agree with my 
colleague that we must be responsible stewards of taxpayer money spent 
abroad and continue to ensure necessary oversight mechanisms are in 
place to prevent money from falling into the wrong hands. However, we 
must not make decisions based on generalities, misinformation, or 
conspiracy theories but, instead, trust the U.S. military experts on 
the ground who provide oversight and serve our national security 
interests.
  The LAF remains one of the strongest functioning partners the U.S. 
military has in the Middle East, and destabilizing the LAF will only 
strengthen Hezbollah and further provoke instability with Israel. I 
oppose this amendment and urge my colleagues to vote ``no.''

                              {time}  1030

  Mr. ISSA. Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. STEUBE. Madam Chair, by safeguarding the actions of Hezbollah 
terrorists and their allies, the Lebanese Armed Forces fundamentally 
empower Iran in their mission to kill American troops and wipe Israel 
off the map. Now more than ever, following October 7, giving them any 
taxpayer funds from America is just simply unjustifiable.
  I encourage my colleagues to stand with our ally, Israel, and 
recognize the dangers of funding the Lebanese Armed Forces by voting 
for my amendment.
  Madam Chair, I am prepared to close, and I reserve the balance of my 
time.
  Mr. ISSA. Madam Chair, in closing, as a member of the Foreign Affairs 
Committee for over 20 years, I have traveled the entire region and met 
with our leaders, including our leaders in Israel. I met with the 
Mossad chief. I

[[Page H4334]]

met with many, and what they have all told me is that a stable Lebanon 
is important and that a civil war in Lebanon would lead to the chaos 
that caused Israel to have to invade Lebanon many years ago at a great 
loss of life.
  The fact is we have troops in Syria because Syria is effectively in a 
civil war. We have support for the LAF because the LAF stands as the 
only force that keeps Hezbollah from taking over that country as a 
proxy for Iran.
  I continue to stand with Israel. I continue to stand against Iran. To 
do so, I continue to stand with support for the LAF and the stability 
that it brings to Lebanon.
  Only a few weeks ago, General Aoun, the commander of the Lebanese 
Armed Forces, was invited here, where he met with our Secretary of 
State and our Secretary of Defense and where, in fact, the coordination 
between our two countries has never been stronger.
  Madam Chair, for that reason, I must oppose this amendment and hope 
that it will not be brought again because it is not in the best 
interests of America or its key ally in the region, Israel.
  Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. STEUBE. Madam Chair, Hezbollah's influence on the Lebanese Armed 
Forces is rampant. They have members in their parliament. The influence 
is overreaching, and Americans are sick and tired of sending our tax 
dollars to countries and to people who absolutely hate our values and 
hate America and hate our ally, Israel.
  Why would we continue to fund money for Lebanon? Why would we 
continue to fund humanitarian aid to Gaza when we know that all that 
money is going to Hamas?
  The American people are sick and tired of it. The American people 
want this body and this House to put America first, and I think it 
starts with focusing on the challenges that face America and not giving 
money that is ultimately going to end up in the hands of terrorist 
organizations.
  Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the 
gentleman from Florida (Mr. Steube).
  The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes 
appeared to have it.
  Mr. ISSA. Madam Chair, I demand a recorded vote.
  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further 
proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Florida will 
be postponed.

                 Amendment No. 62 Offered by Mr. Steube

  The Acting CHAIR (Mr. Fong). It is now in order to consider amendment 
No. 62 printed in part B of House Report 118-559.
  Mr. STEUBE. Mr. Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.
  The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       At the end of the bill (before the short title), add the 
     following:
       Sec. _.  None of the funds made available by this Act may 
     be provided to the Government of Iraq.

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 1316, the gentleman 
from Florida (Mr. Steube) and a Member opposed each will control 5 
minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Florida.
  Mr. STEUBE. Mr. Chair, Americans entrust us with ensuring that their 
hard-earned tax dollars go toward measures that advance our interests, 
not undermine them.
  Over the past quarter of a century, not only have Americans provided 
billions of dollars to Iraq, but thousands have lost their lives in 
that country. Essentially, Americans have been generous enough to give 
Iraq a blank check payable not only in cash but with American lives.
  Yet, in 2024, we see a country that is becoming increasingly anti-
American, essentially becoming one of Iran's strongest proxies. I 
served in Iraq, and protecting American interests should continue to be 
our number one priority in the region. We cannot justify funding a 
foreign government unable to safeguard our dollars from exploitation by 
Iran, ISIS, and other terror groups.
  Yet, the money we send to Iraq has been funding Iranian militias that 
target and attack our troops. Iran's influence over the Iraqi 
Government is rampant. Over 2 years ago, the Pentagon's inspector 
general disclosed that Iraqi security forces are overrun by Iranian-
backed militants and IRGC terrorists. These are the same terrorists who 
attacked the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad in 2018 and continue to threaten 
our troops to this day.
  Yet, every year, we continue to provide millions of taxpayer dollars 
to Iraqi security forces and expect a different outcome. It is the 
definition of insanity.
  These militias are part of Iraq's own government. They are officially 
part of the Popular Mobilization Forces, which fall under Iraq's 
Ministry of Interior. These militias are funded by the Government of 
Iraq and then attack our troops with the financial backing of our own 
taxpayers. Let that sink in.
  It is apparent that our funding for the Iraqi Government is not 
countering terrorism. In fact, it seems to be emboldening the 
terrorists.
  It is time for us to stop the endless cycle of trading blank checks 
for false promises with the Iraqi Government, especially when they use 
it to put Iranian-backed terrorists on their payroll.
  This does not give us leverage, nor does it safeguard American 
interests. It is unwise, unacceptable, and, quite frankly, inexcusable 
to send American taxpayer dollars to Iraq when we know that these funds 
end up in the hands of terrorists.
  The underlying bill should support our diplomats and servicemembers 
overseas, not threaten them.
  Mr. Chair, I encourage my colleagues to stand up for the American 
taxpayer and support my amendment. I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. LEE of California. Mr. Chair, I rise in opposition to the 
amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman is recognized for 5 minutes.
  Ms. LEE of California. Mr. Chair, I rise in strong opposition to this 
amendment.
  There is no mistaking that the error that the United States made in 
going to war with Iraq in 2003 was a mistake. It was a decision which I 
fought against and proudly opposed.
  While two decades have passed since then, there is little doubt about 
the trauma experienced by the country that is still felt to this day. 
Iraqis fell prey to conflict and instability, experienced a tragic 
number of deaths and displacements, and saw an erosion of their basic 
services, including health and education.
  An entire generation of children grew up in a chaos-filled 
environment with

[[Page H4349]]

war and the subsequent emergence of terrorist groups and militias.
  We cannot walk away from our responsibility to help Iraq, now a key 
partner in the Middle East. As Secretary Blinken has said, America's 
greatest strategic asset lies within the alliances and partnerships 
that we have with other nations. In partnership with Iraq, we have 
worked to ensure a largely stable, prosperous, and democratic 
government.
  Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. STEUBE. Mr. Chair, I don't believe that American taxpayer dollars 
should be going to a country that supports terrorism. There are no 
assurances that, once the money is sent to Iraq, it is not going to be 
in the hands of Iranian proxies and terrorist organizations to then 
attack our own troops.
  Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Ms. LEE of California. Mr. Chairman, let me just say we bombed the 
heck out of Iraq. We, unfortunately, were responsible for refugees and 
for the deaths of Iraqis. We at least should help the Iraqi people 
rebuild and move forward.
  Our assistance to Iraq mitigates extremism through programming that 
promotes mutual respect, tolerance, and understanding; provides support 
for the recovery of religious and ethnic minorities liberated from 
ISIS, including Christians and Yazidis; supports private-sector 
development; and increases work opportunities, especially for women and 
youth.
  Additionally, USG-supported stabilization programs have enabled the 
return of nearly 5 million internally displaced persons. They can 
return to their communities of origin, but nearly 1.2 million people 
remain displaced.
  USAID assistance is critical in restoring essential services and 
increasing stability among these vulnerable populations. Furthermore, 
our continued assistance in Iraq is vital to support the reintegration 
of Iraqis repatriated from northeast Syria, which meets the national 
security priority of the United States Government's action plan.
  It is in the security interests of the United States to continue 
supporting Iraq, as well as really our moral responsibility not to 
abandon our partnership and to help repair some of the damage of the 
past.
  Mr. Chair, I urge my colleagues to oppose this amendment, and I 
reserve the balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman has the only time remaining.
  Ms. LEE of California. Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my 
time, and I urge a ``no'' vote.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the 
gentleman from Florida (Mr. Steube).
  The amendment was agreed to.


                 Amendment No. 63 Offered by Ms. Tenney

  The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 63 
printed in part B of House Report 118-559.
  Ms. TENNEY. Mr. Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.
  The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:
       At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the 
     following:
       Sec. _.  None of the funds made available by this Act may

     sections 7, 8, and 10 of such Executive Order.

                              {time}  1215

  Ms. TENNEY. Mr. Chairman, I rise today to offer my amendment No. 63 
to prohibit funding for President Biden's Executive Order No. 14019 
entitled: ``Executive Order on Promoting Access to Voting.''
  This executive order requires Federal agencies to use their power, 
their influence, their resources, and taxpayer cash to enter into 
agreements with partisan nongovernmental organizations, mostly left-
leaning, to conduct voter registration and other mobilization 
activities.
  Mr. Chairman, this executive order is nothing but a blatant attempt 
to transform the Federal Government into a partisan get-out-the-vote 
scheme for the Democrats. America's civil servants must be nonpartisan, 
and Federal agencies should not be using taxpayer funds to actively 
engage in get-out-the-vote operations that have nothing to do with 
agencies' core missions, not to mention the obvious mission creep and 
the Hatch Act violations that this activity would trigger.
  Mr. Chair, President Biden should not be weaponizing the Federal 
Government using taxpayer dollars to manipulate and steer our elections 
in a partisan manner.
  As the cofounder and chair of the Election Integrity Caucus, it is my 
privilege to introduce this amendment to restore transparency and 
confidence in our democratic process while keeping partisan Federal 
bureaucrats and the swamp from deliberately tipping the balance at the 
ballot box.
  I stand firmly behind the concept of one citizen, one vote, as is 
enshrined in our Constitution. However, I do not support this blatantly 
partisan mobilization of the Federal Government for political purposes. 
No citizen should have their vote diluted by Federal bureaucrats.
  Mr. Chairman, I urge all my colleagues to support this amendment, 
which will preserve election integrity and stop the Biden 
administration from transforming our people's government and our 
people's House into a get-out-the-vote machine for partisan Democrats.
  Let's make voting great again.
  Mr. Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. LEE of California. Mr. Chairman, I claim the time in opposition 
to the amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman is recognized for 5 minutes.
  Ms. LEE of California. Mr. Chairman, I rise in strong opposition to 
this amendment.
  Voting is central to our democracy. This is not a partisan issue. The 
United States has a shameful voting participation rate. In a 
Presidential year, it is about 66 percent. In a non-Presidential 
election year, less than half of Americans vote. Compare this to 90 
percent in Australia, 76 percent in Germany, or over 90 percent in 
Uruguay.
  As Members of Congress, we are active participants in an elected 
democracy. I don't know what my colleagues are afraid of. Shouldn't we 
be doing everything possible to ensure that all citizens can 
participate in our elections, regardless of party affiliation?
  Like it or not, there are obstacles to getting to the polls to vote, 
and we should be encouraging all parts of the public and private sector 
to be creative in its solutions if we really want this democracy to 
work for everyone.
  A democracy is at its best when everyone is able to participate and 
exercise their right to vote. Our Federal agencies have a huge role to 
play here, which this executive order recognizes. Once again, we are 
trying to roll back our democratic rights and freedoms.
  Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. TENNEY. Mr. Chairman, respectfully, the reason many people don't 
vote is they don't have trust in our system because they know it has 
been undermined, particularly after the pandemic election of 2020.
  Also, it is inappropriate and unconstitutional for the Federal 
Government, particularly by an unconstitutional executive order, to 
intervene in the role that is set forth in our Constitution where 
States administer our elections, not the Federal Government on a 
partisan executive order and partisan bureaucrats using our tax dollars 
to sway elections for partisan reasons.
  These groups that the so-called order is bringing forth are mostly 
Democratic. In fact, almost all are Democratic-leaning outside groups, 
third-party groups that should not be involved directly with our 
agencies. Our agencies are tasked with important missions that serve 
the American people. They should not be serving up votes for the 
Democratic Party.
  Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. LEE of California. Mr. Chairman, I urge my colleagues to oppose 
this amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time.
  Ms. TENNEY. Mr. Chairman, I urge all my colleagues to vote for this 
amendment. We have to have free, fair, and private elections. It is 
what the Election Integrity Caucus has set out

[[Page H4350]]

to do and what we have been doing. We endeavor to make sure we can get 
every legal citizen to vote in every election. That is our mission. It 
is not to sway voters.
  Voters need to feel confident that their votes are secure, that their 
votes are not manipulated, and their votes are not diluted. That is 
exactly what this amendment seeks to do, and that is what has 
undermined the trust that our citizens have in these elections.
  Mr. Chair, for that reason, I urge all of my colleagues, including my 
Democratic colleagues, to vote in favor of this amendment to be sure 
that we have free, fair, and private elections.
  Again, I must reiterate to Mr. Chair: Let's, for once, make voting 
great again.
  Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the 
gentlewoman from New York (Ms. Tenney).
  The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes 
appeared to have it.
  Ms. LEE of California. Mr. Chair, I demand a recorded vote.
  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further 
proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from New York 
will be postponed.


                 Amendment No. 64 Offered by Ms. Tenney

  The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 64 
printed in part B of House Report 118-559.
  Ms. TENNEY. Mr. Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.
  The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       At the end of the bill (before the short title), add the 
     following:
       Sec. _.  None of the funds made available by this Act may 
     be used to pay the salary of, reinstate, or reemploy Robert 
     Malley.

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 1316, the gentlewoman 
from New York (Ms. Tenney) and a Member opposed each will control 5 
minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from New York.
  Ms. TENNEY. Mr. Chairman, I rise today to introduce my amendment No. 
64 to prohibit any funds from taxpayer dollars to pay the salary of, 
reinstate, or reemploy a gentleman named Robert Malley.
  The Biden administration has made some of the worst appointments in 
modern history. The appointment of Rob Malley as the special envoy has 
to be among the worst. Even before joining the administration, Rob 
Malley has a storied history of legitimatizing the terrorist 
organization Hamas, also a U.S.-designated terrorist organization; has 
blamed Israel for Palestinian attacks; and has facilitated the 
disastrous 2015 Iran nuclear deal. This was all before he was even 
appointed by the Biden administration.
  Despite this history, the Biden administration appointed Mr. Malley 
as the special envoy to the country of Iran. Not only did Mr. Malley 
tarnish the great work of previous envoys, like Brian Hook and Elliott 
Abrams, but Malley was working to circumvent U.S. law by striking a 
deal with Iran without disclosing this to Congress.
  Under the INARA, the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act, any deals 
with Iran must be disclosed to Congress, whether written or not. 
However, Malley worked for years and, according to reports, reached an 
agreement on his own with Iran. Yet, still, nothing had been disclosed 
to Congress.
  Over a year ago, in June of 2023, Malley was placed on unpaid leave 
due to investigation into his mishandling of classified information. 
This matter has been referred to the FBI for criminal investigation and 
prosecution.
  Was Malley handing over State secrets to Iran? We still don't know, 
and the administration is refusing to update Congress. It has been a 
year, Mr. Chairman. Why has the administration continued to refuse to 
update Congress on this critically important national security 
investigation?
  Alarmingly, a bombshell report revealed that three top aides to 
Malley were part of an Iranian Government network. That is right. The 
special envoy to Iran's self-appointed top aides were compromised 
Iranian assets. This is beyond incompetent. This is criminal, and it is 
the very definition of harming U.S. national security.
  While Mr. Malley is still on unpaid leave, he cannot be allowed to 
return to his post under any circumstance. The employment of Rob Malley 
in the Federal Government, using our taxpayer dollars, is an active 
threat to the safety and the security of the United States.
  Mr. Chair, for that reason, I urge all of my colleagues to support 
this amendment, and I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. LEE of California. Mr. Chairman, I claim the time in opposition 
to the amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman is recognized for 5 minutes.
  Ms. LEE of California. Mr. Chairman, I rise in strong opposition to 
this amendment.
  I repeat again: It really is despicable to target dedicated public 
servants and threaten their livelihoods.
  In this specific case, the amendment is targeted at someone on leave 
from the Department. None of us have the information to judge this 
situation. As the State Department has said, this is a personnel matter 
and that it needs to take its course. It is not a matter for Congress.
  Again, if my colleagues have an issue with the policy being pursued, 
let's discuss that. We should not penalize public servants who are 
representing the administration they serve and have dedicated their 
entire careers to the United States.
  Mr. Chairman, I urge my colleagues to oppose this amendment, and I 
reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. TENNEY. Mr. Chairman, this amendment is simple. The American 
people should not be forced to support a top-level government official 
who surrounded himself with compromised foreign assets from a 
designated state sponsor of terrorism.
  If Members care about U.S. national security, support this amendment. 
If Members oppose a nuclear Iran and oppose the despotic Iranian 
regime, a government that tortures and murders its own citizens who are 
standing up and exhibiting free speech, then support this amendment. If 
Members oppose state sponsors of terrorism having premier access to 
U.S. Government officials, support this amendment.
  I urge my colleagues to defund Rob Malley's salary completely and 
make it clear that the House stands against compromised foreign assets 
receiving taxpayer dollars.
  Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Ms. LEE of California. Mr. Chairman, I ask for a ``no'' vote, and I 
yield back the balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the 
gentlewoman from New York (Ms. Tenney).
  The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes 
appeared to have it.
  Ms. TENNEY. Mr. Chair, I demand a recorded vote.
  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further 
proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from New York 
will be postponed.


                Amendment No. 67 Offered by Mr. Tiffany

  The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 67 
printed in part B of House Report 118-559.
  Mr. TIFFANY. Mr. Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.
  The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the 
     following:
       Sec. __.  None of the funds appropriated or otherwise made 
     available by this Act may be made available to enforce the 
     restrictions outlined under the headings ``Visits and 
     Travel'' (regarding limitations on ``Travel to Taiwan'') and 
     ``Communications'' (regarding limitations on ``Name'', 
     ``Symbols of Sovereignty'', and ``Correspondence'') in the 
     Department of State's June 29, 2021, Memorandum for All 
     Department and Agency Executive Secretaries entitled 
     ``Revised Guidelines on Interacting with Taiwan''.

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 1316, the gentleman 
from Wisconsin (Mr. Tiffany) and a Member opposed each will control 5 
minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Wisconsin.
  Mr. TIFFANY. Mr. Chairman, my amendment would prevent the enforcement 
of arbitrary, self-imposed State

[[Page H4351]]

Department rules that limit communication between U.S. officials and 
their counterparts in Taiwan.
  In essence, these guidelines are designed to prevent high-level 
coordination between our two countries. That isn't just bad policy, but 
it is in direct conflict with existing laws that call for expanding 
bilateral cooperation, such as the Taiwan Travel Act.
  These rules inhibit the ability of high-ranking U.S. Defense 
officials to work with military planners in Taipei. They impose 
degrading and embarrassing restrictions that serve no reasonable 
purpose, such as a ban on displaying Taiwan's flag and the playing of 
Taiwan's national anthem at functions held on U.S. Government property. 
They even police language, warning American officials not to refer to 
Taiwan as a country or its elected leaders as a government.

                              {time}  1230

  These directives do not help the United States and they do not help 
Taiwan, but they do help the Chinese Communist Party.
  That is why former President Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo 
got rid of them.
  Unfortunately, the Biden administration quietly reinstated them in 
2021, and that is why I am offering this amendment today.
  Mr. Chair, it makes no sense that a State Department memo supersedes 
the laws we pass.
  America should not have to ask China for a permission slip to talk to 
our friends and allies in Taiwan or anywhere else.
  My amendment will make sure we don't by scrapping these so-called 
guidelines. I ask for a ``yes'' vote on the amendment, and I reserve 
the balance of my time.
  Ms. LEE of California. Mr. Chair, I claim the time in opposition to 
the amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman is recognized for 5 minutes.
  Ms. LEE of California. Mr. Chair, I rise in opposition to this 
amendment.
  The executive branch has the ability to determine how the United 
States engages and manages our relationship with Taiwan.
  This is because Congress has left it to the executive branch to 
conduct diplomacy and the recognition or nonrecognition of foreign 
states and governments in this case.
  If you wish to legislate how the executive branch should engage with 
Taiwan, then mark up a separate bill in the Foreign Affairs Committee 
that deals with just that. In the absence of that, the executive branch 
needs to determine how to handle diplomatic engagements abroad. It is 
their job to weigh multiple equities, and balance delicate factors that 
are simply not considered by this amendment today.
  The amendment sponsor knows that Taiwan is a sensitive, geopolitical 
subject with respect to our relations with the PRC. That is why we have 
a select committee in the House on it, and I think this is something 
that they could examine, that would be much more appropriate.
  There is too much at stake to have this amendment decide what the 
guidelines for engagement will be.
  Mr. Chair, I urge my colleagues to oppose this amendment, and I 
reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. TIFFANY. Mr. Chair, let's go back to 1979. The executive branch 
sometimes does not get it right, as we saw with President Jimmy Carter 
who adopted the One China policy here and Congress had to step in with 
the Taiwan Relations Act in order to make sure that Taiwan was 
identified as a country. That is what we have seen in the ensuing times 
since approximately 1980.
  It is appropriate for Congress to step in in a situation like this 
when we see an administration that shows weakness toward China, and we 
have seen the impacts of that weakness across the globe.
  Congress will stand with Taiwan, and I hope all of Congress will 
stand with Taiwan.
  Mr. Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. LEE of California. Mr. Chair, once again, let me just reiterate 
that this is an authorization issue. It is not an issue for the 
Appropriations Committee.
  Mr. Chair, I urge a ``no'' vote, and I yield back the balance of my 
time.
  Mr. TIFFANY. Mr. Chair, I urge a ``yes'' vote on this amendment, and 
I yield back the balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIR (Mr. Garbarino). The question is on the amendment 
offered by the gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Tiffany).
  The amendment was agreed to.


                Amendment No. 68 Offered by Mr. Tiffany

  The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 68 
printed in part B of House Report 118-559.
  Mr. TIFFANY. Mr. Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.
  The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the 
     following:
       Sec. __.  None of the funds made available in this Act may 
     be used to pay any United States contribution to the United 
     Nations or any affiliated agency of the United Nations.

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 1316, the gentleman 
from Wisconsin (Mr. Tiffany) and a Member opposed each will control 5 
minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Wisconsin.
  Mr. TIFFANY. Mr. Chair, my amendment would withhold U.S. 
contributions from the corrupt and scandal-plagued United Nations.
  It is about time.
  Despite making up less than 5 percent of the world's population, 
Americans remain the largest single state contributor to the U.N., 
footing around one-quarter of its multibillion-dollar budget.
  In other words, we pick up the lion's share of the tab, while 
unaccountable, international bureaucrats make the rules.
  What have our donations financed?
  Decades of mismanagement, waste, fraud, and abuse; endless anti-
Semitic Israel bashing; more than a dozen UNRWA employees participating 
directly in the October 7 terrorist attack on Israel, and potentially 
1,000 more with links to Hamas; seats on the U.N.'s so-called Human 
Rights Council for the notorious rulers of countries like Communist 
China, Russia, Cuba, and Venezuela; incompetent U.N. agencies like the 
World Health Organization, which ignored Taiwan's early warnings about 
the dangerous Wuhan virus and chose instead to run interference for 
Beijing.
  Mr. Chair, the know-it-alls at the U.N. don't limit themselves to 
headline grabbing matters of international concern.
  The U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization recently cooked up a plan 
to take on backyard barbecues, burgers, and brats, demanding that 
Americans eat less beef, less pork, less poultry to reduce emissions.
  This meatheaded move is just the latest half-baked scheme on the 
U.N.'s menu of dumb ideas.
  Mr. Chair, it is time to put the U.N.'s bloated bureaucracy on a diet 
and stop outsourcing our sovereignty to this shady transnational 
organization.
  Mr. Chair, I ask for a ``yes'' vote on the amendment, and I reserve 
the balance of my time.
  Ms. LEE of California. Mr. Chair, I claim the time in opposition to 
the amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman is recognized for 5 minutes.
  Ms. LEE of California. Mr. Chair, I rise in strong opposition to this 
amendment. As one who knows the U.N. pretty well, I am shocked that, 
once again, Republicans are trying to defund it. The world is a better 
place because of the United Nations.
  As I have said, the bill as it stands already cuts 83 percent of the 
contributions to international organization accounts compared to fiscal 
year 2024 and excludes funding for the majority of the United Nations 
organizations that we traditionally fund, even those that we have 
treaty obligations to.
  We have watched as the PRC challenges the United States at the United 
Nations and other multilateral institutions, working to insert their 
values, their perspective, their policies of authoritarianism and 
disrespect for human rights. By cutting all funding to the United 
Nations and its agencies, this bill leaves a void for our adversaries 
to fill.
  The PRC is already the second largest financial contributor to the 
United Nations' regular budget and U.N.

[[Page H4352]]

peacekeeping and is happy to point out that the United States is an 
unreliable partner. Our ambassador to the United Nations has called 
this China's favorite talking point.
  Humanitarian response in Sudan, exposure of Russia's human rights 
violations in Ukraine, and international norms on everything from how 
we receive mail internationally to how planes fly across international 
borders is touched on by the United Nations system.
  This amendment makes America less safe, less prosperous, and more 
isolated. Once again, we are attempting to just withdraw from the world 
and become a more isolationist country.
  Mr. Chair, I urge a ``no'' vote, and I reserve the balance of my 
time.
  Mr. TIFFANY. Mr. Chair, I am being whipsawed here. We looked at the 
previous amendment that I offered with a chance to stand up against the 
PRC in reference to Taiwan, and we hear a ``no'' vote is urged.
  Now we are being told that the PRC is going to take over the United 
Nations.
  It is time to start looking out for America's interests. In 
particular, I have authored a resolution that I hope to see in July in 
regard to the World Health Organization, which stood with Beijing 
rather than the people of the world. We saw the devastation of what was 
done as a result of the virus that almost certainly came from a lab in 
Wuhan and devastated our world.
  Mr. Chair, I urge a ``yes'' vote on this. It is time to take care of 
America first, and I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. LEE of California. Mr. Chair, first of all, to stand against the 
PRC or any adversary, we must be in the room. Doubling down at the 
United Nations is not going to make the United States excel in our 
global leadership as we should continue to do as it relates to peace 
and security.
  Withdrawing, standing by the sidelines, doing nothing gives our 
adversaries the opening that they are just waiting for, and this 
amendment would accomplish that.
  Mr. Chair, I urge a ``no'' vote on this, and I yield back the balance 
of my time.
  Mr. TIFFANY. Mr. Chair, I say to my colleagues on the other side of 
the aisle, join us in making America first.
  I urge a ``yes'' vote, and I yield back the balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the 
gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Tiffany).
  The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes 
appeared to have it.
  Ms. LEE of California. Mr. Chair, I demand a recorded vote.
  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further 
proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Wisconsin 
will be postponed.
  Ms. LEE of California. Mr. Chair, as the designee of the gentlewoman 
from Connecticut (Ms. DeLauro), I move to strike the last word.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman is recognized for 5 minutes.
  Ms. LEE of California. Mr. Chair, I yield to the gentlewoman from New 
Mexico (Ms. Stansbury).
  Ms. STANSBURY. Mr. Chair, I thank Ranking Member Lee for her 
exceptional years of leadership on international affairs. She is a 
beacon of hope for our country and to so many around the world.
  Mr. Chair, I rise today to oppose H.R. 8771, which is the GOP's 
State-Foreign Operations bill that is supposed to fund our 
international programs but, in this case, is defunding critical 
programs across the U.S. Government.
  This bill will not only make the United States less safe, it will 
make the world less safe. It defunds critical programs for 
international security and stability and includes poison pills that 
would undermine American leadership on climate action.
  It guts climate programs, undermines international commitments to our 
climate accords, and seeks to undermine U.S. leadership in tackling the 
climate crisis abroad and right here at home.
  We have to ask ourselves why is the GOP proposing to do this? For 
years donors have funded candidates and organizations that have 
propagated lies about the climate and climate denialism. They have 
propped up international oil and gas companies and their profits while 
the American people have paid for it at the pump and with billions of 
dollars in damages caused by extreme weather and climate inaction.
  Make no mistake: Climate change is real. It is here and we are seeing 
its impacts everywhere, every day across the country and across the 
planet with extreme heat waves here on the East Coast and across the 
Midwest, flooding and tornadoes, catastrophic fires, including two 
fires in New Mexico that burned through 25,000 acres just this last 
week, displacing nearly 9,000 residents of my district, burning 
hundreds of homes, and claiming the lives of two people.
  This is the cost of inaction. These are the costs that we have been 
fighting to address through climate action. That is why I introduced 
amendments to this bill to restore climate programs that the GOP is 
proposing to cut, to tackle climate change at home and abroad, to 
rebuild and enhance international climate programs, to catalyze clean 
energy and sustainability, to revitalize climate and environmental 
justice programs, to protect our public health, and to support 
implementation of the most consequential climate bill ever passed in 
American history in the Inflation Reduction Act, which we passed on 
this floor just 2 years ago under the leadership of Joe Biden and 
Democrats because we must take climate action now.

                              {time}  1245

  We cannot wait, but unfortunately, none of the amendments that I 
offered to this bill were found in order by the GOP because not only do 
they seek to gut the fundamental international programs that underpin 
U.S. leadership on so many issues, they continue to do the bidding of 
their corporate donors here on the House floor.
  That is why, Mr. Chair, I have to vote ``no'' on this bill, and that 
is why we must restore our international commitments to climate action 
and justice and American leadership on this issue and stop every effort 
to undermine them because, indeed, the future of our country and our 
planet depend on it.
  Ms. LEE of California. Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my 
time.


                 Amendment No. 72 Offered by Mr. Waltz

  The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 72 
printed in part B of House Report 118-559.
  Mr. WALTZ. Mr. Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.
  The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       At the end of the bill (before the short title), add the 
     following:
       Sec. _.  None of the funds made available by this Act may 
     be used for operations in support of the Defense Department's 
     Joint Logistics Over-the-Shore capability with respect to the 
     Gaza Strip.

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 1316, the gentleman 
from Florida (Mr. Waltz) and a Member opposed each will control 5 
minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Florida.
  Mr. WALTZ. Mr. Chair, I rise today in support of my floor amendment, 
which would prevent funding in this bill from being used to support the 
Biden administration's failed and, frankly, humiliating efforts to 
build a pier off the shore of Gaza.
  Mr. Chair, this pier honestly has to be one of the most embarrassing 
pieces of performance art I have ever seen in my 27-year military 
career.
  It has now cost in excess of $300 million to build. It has had to 
repeatedly halt operations. It has put our servicemembers at risk. It 
has broken up several times due to sea states and weather that the 
administration was repeatedly briefed on ahead of President Biden's 
announcement.
  So far, the pier has resulted in almost no aid to the Palestinian 
people. We have three U.S. servicemembers injured. We have one in 
critical condition.
  You will remember, Mr. Chair, that President Biden, right there where 
you are standing, announced this harebrained idea during the State of 
the Union address back in March and reportedly surprised the Pentagon 
with the announcement as they weren't informed ahead of time.
  Because of that surprise, it took nearly 2 months to get the ships 
and

[[Page H4353]]

the equipment into place, and the first truckloads of aid did not begin 
moving ashore until May 17.
  Of those shipments, in the first shipment, 16 trucks left the pier, 
got on shore, and 11 out of the 16 were looted, intercepted, or 
attacked. Only 5 of that 16 made it to the warehouse, and guess what? 
It was the same warehouse where the aid coming over land was also 
sitting.
  By May 22, the Department of Defense confirmed that none of the aid 
unloaded from the pier was reaching the broader Palestinian population 
because of these regular interceptions, once it hit land.
  It turns out that whether the aid comes from sea or comes from land, 
you have the same distribution problem in an area controlled by the 
terrorist organization Hamas.
  The Defense Department has since confirmed in all of these months, 
the pier has only been in operation a total of 10 working days. Even 
international aid organizations are saying that it has largely failed 
in its mission.
  We know now that the administration, the White House, was repeatedly 
warned that the sea and the weather would not support it. They moved 
ahead anyway for what was clearly a political talking point to pander 
to the progressive left and to look like they were doing something when 
operationally, they were warned it would fail.
  At the end of the day, alleviating the suffering of the people of 
Gaza is a laudable goal that we should all get behind. If we want to 
effectively do that, let's shift policy on Iran, the heartbeat of 
terrorism in the Middle East.
  As long as Iran has the cash, the money, and the resources to fund 
its terrorist proxies, Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis, it will 
continue to do so, and there will not be peace.
  Let's allow Israel to destroy the terrorist organization Hamas. Let's 
accelerate the weapons into Israel, which is trying to create some 
stability there with an organization that does not want a two-state 
solution and is openly saying more October 7s will happen.
  Finally, Mr. Chair, let's stop demonizing the democratically elected 
government of Israel, our ally, who is in the middle of an existential 
threat.
  There are a lot of things we could do to alleviate the suffering and 
bring peace, but this harebrained, politically motivated pier idea was 
a bad idea from the start. I have truly never seen anything like it.
  I encourage my colleagues to support this amendment to defund it, and 
I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. LEE of California. Mr. Chairman, I claim the time in opposition.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman is recognized for 5 minutes.
  Ms. LEE of California. Mr. Chairman, I rise in strong opposition to 
this amendment. No funds in the State and Foreign Operations bill go 
toward the humanitarian pier built by the United States Department of 
Defense off the coast of Gaza, just an FYI.
  This is not political talk. If you know what is taking place in Gaza, 
people are desperate. The distribution of aid from the pier is at least 
partially managed by USAID, period, including support for the World 
Food Program.
  I am also frustrated that we have to resort to these extraordinary 
measures to get aid into Gaza. In an area that is nearing collapse and 
where one million people are facing catastrophic hunger, we need to 
utilize every channel that is available, if you care about human life.
  This month, Israel facilitated 204 humanitarian missions into Gaza. 
It also denied or impeded another 76, and another 38 were canceled due 
to insecurity or logistical reasons. There simply is not enough aid 
getting in.
  The current humanitarian pier is only supposed to be in place for a 
few more weeks before the weather makes it untenable. There are no 
current plans to use the pier into fiscal year 2025, which is the focus 
of this amendment.
  I pray that we will not be in this situation next year, but I refuse 
to take any tools that will help innocent civilians off the table.
  The suffering of the civilian population of Gaza will not make Israel 
safer. It is contributing to its insecurity and is counterproductive, 
and so it is important that those who value human life not support this 
amendment.
  I urge a ``no'' vote on this amendment, and I reserve the balance of 
my time.
  Mr. WALTZ. Mr. Chair, I find it ironic that the administration has 
assured the world, assured the public, and assured the Congress that 
the pier would be in place until September.

  I guess they are somewhat acknowledging the failure of the 
harebrained idea and saying, well, now it can only be 2 to 3 more 
weeks, all the more reason we need to put this measure in place to 
prevent another attempt next year. History is replete with all kinds of 
elected and other officials saying the war will be over by Christmas. 
The war will be over soon.
  We need to ensure this can't happen again, this type of waste can't 
happen again, and that we don't put our servicemembers at risk.
  Absolutely, as the gentlewoman pointed out, USAID has a heavy hand. 
The State Department has a heavy hand. This amendment will ensure that 
we don't do this again.
  Finally, Mr. Chair, I just need to point out that the U.N.-supported 
Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) initiative has 
revised its earlier findings and concluded there is no famine in Gaza.
  Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Ms. LEE of California. Mr. Chairman, just to clarify, I didn't say 
that USAID had a heavy hand. What I said was that the distribution of 
aid from this pier is at least partially managed by USAID. That is what 
I said. It would be, I think, wise to not mislead the public, and this 
is how disinformation and misinformation and lies get spread.
  I urge my colleagues to oppose this amendment, and I yield back the 
balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the 
gentleman from Florida (Mr. Waltz).
  The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes 
appeared to have it.
  Ms. LEE of California. Mr. Chair, I demand a recorded vote.
  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further 
proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Florida will 
be postponed.


        Amendment No. 75 Offered by Mr. Wilson of South Carolina

  The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 75 
printed in part B of House Report 118-559.
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Chair, I have an amendment at the 
desk.
  The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       Page 180, line 10, after ``used'' insert ``directly or 
     indirectly''.

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 1316, the gentleman 
from South Carolina (Mr. Wilson) and a Member opposed each will control 
5 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from South Carolina.
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Chair, I rise today to offer an 
amendment to the State Department and Foreign Operations appropriations 
bill deeply rooted in our commitment to responsible governance and the 
ethical stewardship of the American taxpayer as evidenced by the great 
work of Congressman Diaz-Balart.
  Amendment No. 75 seeks to prohibit American taxpayer humanitarian 
funding in Syria from indirectly supporting the murderous regime of 
Bashar al-Assad, a known war criminal.
  Current appropriations law has established that taxpayer dollars do 
not go to the Assad regime. Sadly, however, it has been well-documented 
that taxpayer dollars have reached the Assad dictatorship.
  In 2022, a study presented at the Middle East Institute in Washington 
revealed a disturbing reality. Nearly half of the United Nations' aid 
funds in Syria were funneled to companies directly related to the 
Syrian Government, entities associated with serious human rights 
abuses.
  This raises profound concerns about systemic flaws in the United 
Nations' aid delivery process in Syria, including the questionable 
awarding of significant contracts to high-risk suppliers.
  In their powerful op-ed published February 12, 2018, in The Hill 
titled: ``Assad's Syria plays dirty with U.S. humanitarian aid,'' 
esteemed former U.S. officials, former Ambassador to

[[Page H4354]]

Syria Robert Ford and Assistant Leader Mark Ward, both of the Obama 
administration, have recommended a cessation of funding to U.N. 
agencies responsible for delivering aid to Syria.
  They note this aid has become a weapon in the hands of the Assad 
dictatorship. Their rationale is clear: Such a bold move would not only 
assert U.S. leadership but also strengthen the international leverage 
against the mass murdering Assad regime.
  Furthermore, the Center for Strategic and International Studies in 
their October 2021 report outlined how the Assad regime systemically 
diverts international aid. By enforcing a distorted exchange rate, the 
regime siphons off nearly $0.51 of every aid dollar spent in 2020, 
bolstering its central bank, an entity sanctioned not only by the 
United States but also by the European Union and the United Kingdom.
  It is well-documented that the Assad regime also diverted critical 
earthquake aid as his regime and war criminal Putin continued bombing 
areas hardest hit by the earthquake 130 times. Our well-intended 
financial support has not reached those in dire need.
  Devastatingly, over half of the citizens of Syria, 14 million people, 
have forcibly been displaced from their homes, businesses, schools, 
religious institutions, and communities by the mass murderer Assad and 
war criminal Putin. Nearly a million have been brutally murdered as the 
U.N. stopped counting at half a million.
  Since the outset of the conflict, the United States has contributed 
humanitarian assistance to Syria. This generous support, funded by the 
American taxpayer, demands stringent oversight to ensure it achieves 
its intended goals.
  Therefore, the purpose of this amendment is clear: to ensure that 
every dollar spent is aligned with our national values and high 
standards of accountability that the American people rightfully expect.
  I urge my colleagues to support this amendment and to stand firm in 
our resolve to use American resources wisely and justly.
  Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.

                              {time}  1300

  Ms. LEE of California. Mr. Chairman, I claim the time in opposition.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman is recognized for 5 minutes.
  Ms. LEE of California. Mr. Chair, I rise in opposition to this 
amendment. This amendment and the nebulous use of ``indirect'' 
endangers the even limited support that we provide in Syria.
  For our own national security, we must continue our work countering 
terrorism in Syria. The Islamic State emerged from the conflict in 
Syria. The Syrian Democratic Forces continue to hold about 10,000 
Islamic State fighters in detention facilities in Syria that are seen 
as key to its resurgence. We must continue to counter this serious 
terrorist threat and protect Americans by continuing our support in 
Syria.
  We also must continue to support the people of Syria who have been 
battered by war, displacement, and natural disasters. By helping to 
ensure that the Syrian people have emergency shelter, food assistance, 
and access to healthcare, education, water, sanitation, and other 
support, we prevent them from turning to the very extremist groups that 
are promising that security.
  Conflict zones are not clear-cut, and the government of Bashar al-
Assad is still the governing authority there.
  While we take every precaution to ensure that no assistance benefits 
this brutal regime, lines are continually shifting, and we need to make 
allowances for activities that could touch on government-controlled 
areas.
  Mr. Chair, I urge my colleagues to oppose this amendment. I urge a 
``no'' vote, and I yield back the balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the 
gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Wilson).
  The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes 
appeared to have it.
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Chair, I demand a recorded vote.
  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further 
proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from South 
Carolina will be postponed.
  Mr. DIAZ-BALART. Mr. Chairman, I move that the Committee do now rise.
  The motion was agreed to.
  Accordingly, the Committee rose; and the Speaker pro tempore (Mr. 
Armstrong) having assumed the chair, Mr. Garbarino, Acting 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. 8771) 
making appropriations for the Department of State, foreign operations, 
and related programs for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2025, and 
for other purposes, had come to no resolution thereon.
