             DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2025

  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Edwards). Pursuant to House Resolution 
1316 and rule XVIII, the Chair declares the House in the Committee of 
the Whole House on the state of the Union for the further consideration 
of the bill, H.R. 8774.
  Will the gentleman from California (Mr. McClintock) kindly take the 
chair.

                              {time}  0915


                     In the Committee of the Whole

  Accordingly, the House resolved itself into the Committee of the 
Whole House on the state of the Union for the further consideration of 
the bill (H.R. 8774) making appropriations for the Department of 
Defense for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2025, and for other 
purposes, with Mr. McClintock (Acting Chair) in the chair.
  The Clerk read the title of the bill.
  The Acting CHAIR. When the Committee of the Whole rose on Thursday, 
June 27, 2024, amendment No. 129, printed in Part A of House Report 
118-559 offered by the gentleman from Alabama (Mr. Moore) had been 
disposed of.


                Amendment No. 163 Offered by Ms. Tenney

  The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 163 
printed in part A 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 
     be used to carry out Executive Order 14019 (86 Fed. Reg. 
     13623; relating to promoting access to voting), except for 
     sections 7, 8, and 10 of such Executive Order.

  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. Chair, I rise to offer my amendment No. 163 to the 
Defense appropriations bill to prohibit funding for President Biden's 
executive order No. 14019 titled: ``Executive Order on Promoting Access 
to Voting.''
  This executive order requires Federal agencies to use their power, 
influence, resources, and Federal funding--taxpayer cash--to enter into 
agreements with nongovernmental organizations, third-party 
organizations, to conduct voter registration and other voter 
mobilization activities, including vote harvesting.
  Mr. Chair, this executive order is nothing but a blatant attempt to 
transform the Federal Government into a partisan, get-out-the-vote 
machine for Democrats.
  The Department of Defense should be completely nonpartisan and should 
not be using taxpayer funds to actively engage in get-out-the-vote 
operations that have nothing to do with the core mission of the 
Department of Defense, not to mention the obvious mission creep and 
Hatch Act violations this activity would trigger.
  Mr. Chair, President Biden should not be weaponizing the Federal 
Government's spending using American taxpayer dollars to manipulate and 
steer our election in a partisan manner.
  As the cofounder and the 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, literally, from deliberately tipping the 
balance at the ballot box.
  I stand firmly behind the concept of one citizen, one vote, as 
enshrined in our Constitution. However, I do not support this blatantly 
partisan mobilization of the Federal Government for political purposes, 
especially at such a critical time in the world.
  The Department of Defense should be laser focused on the missions at 
hand and countering our adversaries such as the Chinese Communist 
Party, not implementing a partisan get-out-the-vote initiative.
  Mr. Chair, I urge all my colleagues to support amendment, which will 
preserve election integrity, stop the Biden administration from 
transforming the Department of Defense into a get-out-the-vote partisan 
machine for the Democrats. Let's make voting great again.
  I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. McCOLLUM. Mr. Chair, I claim the time in opposition to this 
amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Minnesota is recognized for 5 
minutes.
  Ms. McCOLLUM. Mr. Chair, I rise in opposition to the gentlewoman's 
amendment banning sections of Executive Order No. 14019. This is 
another example of the majority proposing language that is not germane 
to this bill.
  Mr. Chair, call me a traditionalist, call me a person who respects 
the roles that different committees have, but this is not germane to 
this bill.
  Section 1 of the executive order states: ``The right to vote is the 
foundation of American democracy. Free and fair elections that reflect 
the will of the American people must be protected and defended.''
  Section 2 states: ``It is the policy of my administration'' referring 
to the Biden administration ``to promote and defend the right to vote 
for all Americans who are legally entitled to participate in 
elections.''
  Now, I don't understand the concern about this order since several 
places direct officials to conform to the laws of the United States.
  Furthermore, Mr. Chair, as I spoke about germaneness earlier, I don't 
understand how this amendment was made in order, especially when the 
Department of Defense bill has in the gentlewoman's amendment 
exclusions with reference to the military.
  In the amendment, which the Clerk has in front, it exempts sections 
7, 8, and I believe it is 10. I am trying to do it from memory, Mr. 
Chair. Those sections deal with the Department of Defense.
  The Department of Defense is totally excluded from anything that the 
gentlewoman would like to resolve with her amendment. Therefore, it 
makes it totally nongermane.
  For that reason alone, I strongly object to this amendment because it 
is

[[Page H4416]]

nongermane as to this bill. The comments that have been made are about 
making sure that the Department of Defense somehow is making sure they 
follow the law.
  The Department of Defense is excluded in this amendment, so the 
gentlewoman's reference to the Department of Defense being laser 
focused on this amendment is very confusing to me, Mr. Chair, when it 
is excluded, and it is nongermane to this bill.
  I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. TENNEY. Mr. Chair, with all due respect, our Constitution clearly 
states the administration of elections is in the province of the 
States. It is not for the Federal Government to use Federal agencies to 
coordinate with third-party partisan groups using taxpayer dollars in 
order to get out the vote for Democrats.
  The mission of our Department of Defense is to protect and secure our 
Nation, not to get the vote out. We encourage and want every member of 
the military who is an eligible citizen to vote in our elections.
  We do not want our taxpayer dollars used in a partisan way for a vote 
harvesting scheme conceived by the Democrats and by this executive 
order.
  First of all, this is mission creep. The Department of Defense has to 
focus on its very serious mission. This is germane. We are using 
taxpayer dollars and military members, people paid under the Department 
of Defense, to work on vote harvesting schemes, not on their mission of 
protecting the American people.
  I encourage all of my colleagues to vote for this amendment and make 
voting great again and make our free and fair elections once again 
possible in the United States of America.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  Ms. McCOLLUM. Mr. Chair, may I inquire as to how much time is 
remaining.

  The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Minnesota has 2\1/2\ minutes 
remaining.
  Ms. McCOLLUM. Mr. Chair, I once again state, especially with the 
exemptions to the military, that this piece of legislation is not 
germane to the Defense appropriations bill.
  We have to stop in this institution putting nongermane issues, 
especially authorizing issues, into appropriations bills. We each have 
our roles, and we need to respect them.
  The gentlewoman is concerned about the Biden administration somehow 
doing something inappropriate by making sure that every American has 
the opportunity and the acknowledgment of when and how to vote.
  Maybe she is concerned, Mr. Chair, because the OSC, which is the 
Office of Special Counsel, found 13 violations by senior Trump 
administrators, including two violations in connection with the 2020 
RNC.
  Their report outlined how these 13 officials used their authority to 
influence and interfere or affect the results of the 2022 Presidential 
election.
  Maybe that is why she is concerned, because she saw abuses in the 
previous administration. I believe this administration will uphold the 
law. They stated that they will.
  Mr. Chair, once again, this amendment is not germane to this bill, 
and it is not necessary, but I do share the gentlewoman's concerns that 
the previous administration violated the law.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the 
gentlewoman from Tennessee (Ms. Tenney).
  The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes 
appeared to have it.
  Ms. McCOLLUM. 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 Tennessee 
will be postponed.


                Amendment No. 164 Offered by Ms. Tenney

  The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 164 
printed in part A 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 
     be used to finalize, implement, or enforce the proposed rule 
     of the Department of Defense, General Services 
     Administration, and National Aeronautics and Space 
     Administration titled ``Federal Acquisition Regulation: 
     Disclosure of Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Climate-Related 
     Financial Risk'' (87 Fed. Reg. 68312; published November 14, 
     2022).

  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. Chair, I rise today to offer my amendment to prohibit 
any funding to finalize, implement, or enforce the Federal Acquisition 
Regulation, known as FAR, Council's proposed Federal Acquisition 
Regulation: Disclosure of Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Climate-Related 
Financial Risk rule.
  Mr. Chair, this disastrous rule proposed by the FAR Council has 
numerous constitutional, national security, and practical concerns, 
none of which have been adequately addressed by the FAR Council nor the 
Council on Environmental Quality who have pushed for this rule.
  First and foremost, this rule requires all Federal contractors that 
do more than $50 million worth of business with the Federal Government 
to disclose all scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions.
  This rule also seeks to require major Federal contractors to comply 
with the Paris Climate Accords, which has never been ratified by the 
Senate.
  The most objectionable part of this rule is the requirement that 
companies set climate targets and have them validated by one 
specifically named company called Science Based Targets Initiative, or 
SBTi. SBTi is a foreign entity based in London, which inherently 
carries national security concerns.
  Under this rule, every major Federal contractor, including companies 
critical to our national security and our defense industrial base, 
would have to provide this foreign company with information about all 
of their scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions and then strategize on how to 
reduce them.
  Despite the existence of numerous American and U.S.-based companies 
that could fill the same role, the FAR Council and CEQ, Council on 
Environmental Quality, chose a foreign entity as the named sole-source 
provider.
  Why? Because SBTi is nothing but a front for Democratic donors and 
advocacy groups. SBTi is owned by the We Mean Business Coalition, which 
is a project of a new venture fund, which is managed by none other than 
Arabella Advisors.
  Arabella Advisors, for those who do not know, is the George Soros-
funded leftwing advocacy group that funnels dark money to leftwing 
causes and candidates.
  To summarize, the Biden administration has named a subsidiary of one 
of its top donors, a leftwing dark money organization, as the sole-
source provider for all climate target validating for all major Federal 
contractors.

                              {time}  0930

  During a hearing in the Science, Space, and Technology Committee on 
this rule, even the Democrats' witness said that SBTi was a poor choice 
for this role, yet the Biden administration forged ahead anyway.
  I look forward to continuing my work with Chairman Lucas, Chairman 
Obernolte, and all of my colleagues on the Science, Space, and 
Technology Committee to get to the bottom of this rule's creation and 
halt its implementation.
  Mr. Chair, I urge all of my colleagues to support this amendment, and 
I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. CASE. Mr. Chair, I claim the time in opposition.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Hawaii is recognized for 5 
minutes.
  Mr. CASE. Mr. Chair, I read this amendment carefully, and what I saw 
in this amendment and the policy choices that it engages have nothing 
to do with what I just heard from the proponent of this amendment, so 
let me deal with the merits of this amendment as it stands and as it 
relates specifically to the Department of Defense.
  This amendment in that context is just another in a long line of 
initiatives by my colleagues to drive out of the Department of Defense 
any concern for, much less mention of, anything bearing the name of or 
in any way implicating the dreaded phrase ``climate change.''

[[Page H4417]]

  Based on this amendment, this apparently includes any reference to 
consideration of greenhouse gas emissions or extreme weather risks in 
Federal procurement. All this is despite the fact that the DOD itself 
is eyes wide open to the realities of climate change, as we have seen 
repeatedly in this debate.
  Let's unpack the real amendment here and ask ourselves what it 
actually does. Very directly, first of all, this amendment would defund 
any requirement by DOD that greenhouse gas emissions or climate-related 
risk be disclosed by companies doing business with the Department of 
Defense.
  It is nothing new to utilize Federal procurement to address broader 
concerns, especially when the largest procurement office in the Federal 
Government is the Department of Defense. Therefore, the only real 
conclusion to be reached from the amendment is that greenhouse gas 
emissions and climate risks are not broader concerns, nor are they 
concerns, certainly, to the Department of Defense. In fact, for the 
Department of Defense in Federal Government contracting to look at this 
amendment, those can't be factored in at all. They can't even be known.
  Let's just take a couple of examples, and let's assume everything 
else. Let's take out of this argument the false argument that somehow 
it is going to detract from quality, cost, quantity. Let's equalize 
that, which is all part of Federal procurement anyway. Let's just look 
at the amendment itself with DOD requirements in some real examples.
  Let's take an example. One proposed contractor is utilizing the 
dirtiest, largest emitting, most unsustainable forms of energy for a 
product while the other--quality, quantity, productivity, everything 
else equal--has invested in clean energy consistent with international 
emission targets, not to mention our own targets.
  Should we factor that in at all in Federal procurement? Should we 
even know that? Should we effectively penalize the company that is 
doing the right thing and incentivize the company that is not? I think 
the answer is that we should know it, and we should factor it in.
  Let's take another example. One contractor has fully disclosed any 
risks of extreme weather conditions on its business model, its 
financial stability, its climate-related resilience preparedness, and 
the continuity and predictability of operations on key supply chain 
components, while the other has ignored the obvious concerns that may 
lead to disruption of key components and higher costs, unexpected costs 
in the procurement cycle, and fiscal insolvency.
  Should we factor that in? Should we even know it in Federal 
procurement? I think the answer is yes.
  Clearly, in both instances, realistic and prudent defense 
procurement, not to mention compelling national policy, says yes.
  This amendment, at the end of the day, is grounded in the incorrect 
assumption that a strong defense industrial base is fundamentally 
incompatible with cleaner, sustainable energy and climate resiliency. 
That is not correct. We know that, and the Department of Defense knows 
that.
  The Department of Defense, moreover, knows that if we don't address 
climate-related risk around the world in all parts of its operations, 
from operations to readiness to procurement, it faces greater risks. 
Let's let the Department of Defense address these issues without 
weighing in with denial, diversion, and fear-mongering.
  Mr. Chair, I urge that we oppose this amendment, and I reserve the 
balance of my time.
  Ms. TENNEY. Mr. Chair, with all due respect, the gentleman is wrong 
about this amendment. It simply states that the amendment defunds and 
causes us not to fund the implementation of this particular rule. It 
has nothing to do with climate change. It has nothing to do with any of 
those allegations he has just set forth in his prepared notes. It is 
all bluster.
  This rule is about the fact that this is a sole-source contract. SBTi 
was incorporated after the rule was actually made. They were looking, 
trying to find a company that they could use that would get the answers 
they wanted. There is no choice for any American company. No U.S.-based 
company in this category has a choice. They must use this Arabella dark 
money super-PAC money umbrella that is funded by leftwing George Soros 
and all these organizations in order to get their contracts approved.
  There isn't a choice. You can't go to anyone else. Even the Democrats 
in the Science, Space, and Technology Committee admitted there was no 
other choice. Here is a company created after the fact that they 
needed somewhere, somebody to validate what they wanted, not to 
determine what the actual science was. This isn't a debate about 
climate change. It is a debate about science and making sure that our 
companies have their secrets secured, that they are with American-based 
companies that we can provide oversight for, and that the Department of 
Defense can provide its oversight.

  It is not about some kind of climate issue. It really doesn't address 
that at all. It really addresses national security concerns. It 
addresses the problem that we have a company that is foreign owned 
which is requiring American-based companies to disclose only to them, 
with no choice, a sole source.
  This is not actually acceptable under DOD rules, and that is why we 
want this particular rule to be held up until we can get other options 
for our U.S.-based companies that ensure the security of the American 
people. This is a sad attempt at trying to politicize, again, the 
Department of Defense under the guise of some kind of climate rule.
  Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. CASE. Mr. Chair, again, let's read the amendment. There is no 
mention in this amendment of this mysterious company. There is no 
commitment by the Department of Defense to use a specific company. This 
is a matter of disclosure. These companies have to disclose this 
information to the Department of Defense.
  This is also still a proposed rule, and certainly there is enough 
time in the process for us to carry out any concerns over directed sole 
sourcing or national security, which I think is just a red herring.
  Of course, this is about climate change. Of course, this is about a 
continued effort to deny climate change.
  Mr. Chair, I urge opposition to the amendment, 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.
  Mr. CASE. 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.
  Ms. McCOLLUM. Mr. 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 Minnesota is recognized for 5 
minutes.
  Ms. McCOLLUM. Mr. Chair, I yield to the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. 
Quigley), the distinguished ranking member of the Transportation, 
Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Subcommittee.
  Mr. QUIGLEY. Mr. Chair, I cannot in good faith support this 
legislation without the inclusion of funding for the Ukraine Security 
Assistance Initiative.
  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 protect funding for the Ukraine Security 
Assistance Initiative that has been included in this Defense 
appropriations bill since 2016.
  USAI is a major reason why the Ukrainian army is a much different, 
much better army than it was when the Russians took Crimea a decade 
ago. This program is central to the strategy to help Ukraine fight 
Russian aggression and, therefore, central to our own efforts to 
protect democracy across the globe.
  Ukraine's battle for its independence has not ended. Our support for 
them must not end, either. Many people in

[[Page H4418]]

this room voted to provide $61 billion in supplemental funding for 
Ukraine, but it is important to remember that $13 billion went to 
replenish U.S. equipment, $7 billion went to strengthen our industrial 
base and to increase weapons production, and $7 billion went to bolster 
U.S. forces in Europe and the Middle East. It is still not enough.
  As recently as March, Russia was firing around 10,000 shells a day 
compared to just 2,000 from the Ukrainian side. Putin has, indeed, 
doubled down, dramatically increasing his military production to the 
point of 29 percent of his budget.
  USAI allows Ukraine to purchase weapons and equipment directly from 
U.S. manufacturers. An investment in this initiative is an investment 
in our own economy, not a handout. The program has been used to 
integrate the Ukraine military with Western militaries, increasing 
their capabilities and training their soldiers, but it is critical to 
understand that the Department of Defense has committed $8.2 billion of 
the approximately $13.8 billion in USAI funding appropriated through 
the Ukraine supplemental and anticipates committing the remainder of 
the funds by the end of calendar year 2024.
  At the end of the debate, I will insert into the Record the text of 
this amendment, and I hope my colleagues will join me in voting for the 
motion to recommit.
  If we fail to continue this funding, we would effectively signal to 
authoritarian leaders with expansionist ambition around the world that 
the U.S. will allow them to act with impunity.
  Mr. Chair, I include in the Record the text of the amendment.

       Mr. Quigley moves to recommit the bill H.R. 8774 to the 
     Committee on Appropriations with the following amendment:
       Page 128, line 4, after the dollar amount insert 
     ``(increased by $300,000,000)''.
       At the end of the bill, before the short title, insert 
     following:
       Sec. __. For an additional amount for ``Operation and 
     Maintenance, Defense-Wide'', for the Defense Security 
     Cooperation Agency, $300,000,000, to remain available until 
     September 30, 2026, shall be for the Ukraine Security 
     Assistance Initiative: Provided, That, such funds shall be 
     available to the Secretary of Defense, with the concurrence 
     of the Secretary of State, to provide assistance, including 
     training; equipment; lethal assistance; logistics support, 
     supplies and services; salaries and stipends; sustainment; 
     and intelligence support to the military and national 
     security forces of Ukraine, and to other forces or groups 
     recognized by and under the authority of the Government of 
     Ukraine, including governmental entities within Ukraine, 
     engaged in resisting Russian aggression against Ukraine for 
     replacement of any weapons or articles provided to the 
     Government of Ukraine from the inventory of the United 
     States, and to recover or dispose of equipment procured using 
     funds made available in this section in this or prior Acts: 
     Provided further, That the Secretary of Defense shall, not 
     less than 15 days prior to obligating funds made available in 
     this section, notify the congressional defense committees in 
     writing of the details of any such obligation: Provided 
     further, That the Secretary of Defense shall, not more than 
     60 days after such notification is made, inform such 
     committees if such funds have not been obligated and the 
     reasons therefor: Provided further, That the Secretary of 
     Defense shall consult with such committees in advance of the 
     provision of support provided to other forces or groups 
     recognized by and under the authority of the Government of 
     Ukraine: Provided further, That the United States may accept 
     equipment procured using funds made available in this section 
     in this or prior Acts transferred to the security forces of 
     Ukraine and returned by such forces to the United States: 
     Provided further, That equipment procured using funds made 
     available in this section in this or prior Acts, and not yet 
     transferred to the military or national security forces of 
     Ukraine or to other assisted entities, or returned by such 
     forces or other assisted entities to the United States, may 
     be treated as stocks of the Department of Defense upon 
     written notification to the congressional defense committees: 
     Provided further, That any notification of funds made 
     available in this section shall specify an estimated timeline 
     for the delivery of defense articles and defense services 
     provided and shall identify if any equipment provided 
     requires enhanced end-use monitoring: Provided further, That 
     the Secretary of Defense may accept and retain contributions, 
     including money, personal property, and services, from 
     foreign governments and other entities, to carry out 
     assistance authorized for the Ukraine Security Assistance 
     Initiative in this section: Provided further, That the 
     Secretary of Defense shall notify the congressional defense 
     committees in writing upon the receipt and upon the 
     obligation of any contribution, delineating the sources and 
     amounts of the funds received and the specific use of such 
     contributions: Provided further, That contributions of money 
     for the purposes provided herein from any foreign government 
     or other entity may be credited to this account, to remain 
     available until September 30, 2026, and used for such 
     purposes: Provided further, That the Secretary of Defense 
     shall provide quarterly reports to the congressional defense 
     committees on the use and status of funds made available in 
     this section.

  Ms. McCOLLUM. Mr. Chair, I thank the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. 
Quigley) for the MTR, and I look forward to voting for it.
  Let me just add, the Ukrainian Supplemental Assistance Initiative has 
long-term spending which has been in the bill since 2016. As the 
gentleman pointed out, that is one of the reasons why Ukraine was ready 
to stand up to this unjustified, hostile invasion by Russia.
  Let us work together and coordinate closely with our allies. Let us 
support the MTR.
  Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.


                 Amendment No. 171 Offered by Ms. Titus

  The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 171 
printed in part A of House Report 118-559.
  Ms. TITUS. 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 
     be used to acquire, use, transfer, or sell cluster munitions.

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 1316, the gentlewoman 
from Nevada (Ms. Titus) and a Member opposed each will control 5 
minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Nevada.
  Ms. TITUS. Mr. Chairman, I rise in support of this vital amendment to 
prohibit funds in the bill from being used to acquire, use, sell, or 
transfer cluster munitions, in an effort to avert more widespread harm 
to civilians in areas contaminated with unexploded ordnance.
  Cluster bombs are not winning weapons but indiscriminate munitions 
that blanket large areas, contaminating land and inflicting 
disproportionate harm on civilians. Cluster munitions are shells that 
contain dozens of smaller bomblets that disperse into the air and 
scatter over areas the size of several football fields. Their lack of 
precision-targeting capabilities increases the risk of their falling 
into civilian areas and makes it very difficult to decontaminate those 
bombed areas.
  The extreme threat to civilians, furthermore, that these weapons pose 
far outweighs any potential military benefit.
  The ``2023 Cluster Munition Monitor'' report found there were at 
least 1,172 new cluster munition casualties globally in 2022. That is 
the highest annual number of casualties since at least 2010. In 2022, 
civilians accounted for approximately 95 percent of all cluster 
munitions casualties, and of that 95 percent, children accounted for 
over 70 percent of the civilian casualties.
  Thousands of communities across Southeast Asia, the Caucasus, and 
Eastern Europe face lingering dangers from landmines and explosive 
remnants of war, dating back to World War II, the Vietnam war, and the 
Indochina wars, with many of the Pacific Island nations still 
contaminated with unexploded ordnance following World War II battles 
between Japan and Allied forces. Laos, the most heavily bombed country 
per capita in history, has suffered an estimated 50,000 civilian 
casualties from explosive remnants of war since 1964. Cambodia and 
Vietnam have seen over 64,000 and 105,000 casualties, respectively, 
since 1975.

                              {time}  0945

  The 2008 Convention on Cluster Munitions has 112 party states and 12 
signatories, including the majority of our NATO allies. The transfer of 
these weapons by the U.S. is contrary to the global norm against the 
use, transfer, and stockpiling of cluster munitions. There is a reason 
why the vast majority of the international community has banned these 
weapons, and it is time for the U.S. to do the same.
  Mr. Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. CALVERT. Mr. Chair, I claim the time in opposition the amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from California is recognized for 5 
minutes.

[[Page H4419]]

  

  Mr. CALVERT. Mr. Chair, Ukraine is in a fight for its survival, and 
artillery has been a critical part in its defense. Cluster munitions 
are needed to fill a gap until production of 155-millimeter rounds can 
catch up. We have a shortage of those rounds.
  The Russians have been using cluster munitions for over 2\1/2\ years, 
since the beginning of this conflict. We should not limit Ukraine's 
ability to respond in kind.
  Moreover, the amendment goes beyond prohibiting the transfer of 
cluster munitions to Ukraine. It would tie our hands in future 
conflicts, prohibiting the option to use these munitions in 
contingencies where the only other option are larger munitions that 
cause even more casualties.
  Additionally, it is not hard to imagine a situation where we might 
need to transfer these munitions to other allies and partners, such as 
Taiwan or South Korea. We should not impede our own defense or that of 
our allies and partners with a complete prohibition on cluster 
munitions.
  Mr. Chair, I urge a ``no'' vote, and I reserve the balance of my 
time.
  Ms. TITUS. Mr. Chair, may I inquire as to how much time is remaining.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Nevada has 2 minutes 
remaining.
  Ms. TITUS. Mr. Chair, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from 
Minnesota (Ms. McCollum), the ranking member of the subcommittee.
  Ms. McCOLLUM. Mr. Chair, I rise in support of this amendment.
  In the case of Ukraine, I continue to remain concerned that allowing 
these munitions to go onto the battlefield undermines our moral 
authority and places the United States in a position that contradicts 
23 of our NATO allies, who have joined the convention on cluster mines.
  To be clear, though, I am a strong supporter of the Biden 
administration's policy in Ukraine. This is a difficult position that 
the Ukrainian military has been put in.
  Yes, Russia has used these types of munitions inside of Ukraine. When 
we were short on delivering the security that we promised Ukraine, 
cluster bombs became something that the administration put in the mix. 
I wasn't supportive of that, but I do realize that this is the choice 
between the lesser of two evils in the war that Ukraine has been forced 
to fight because of the Russian invasion.
  I want to get to a place where we don't have these choices in front 
of us and where we are not transferring these weapons.
  Mr. Chair, regrettably at this time, I will be unable to vote for 
passage of this bill.
  And I cannot recommend to my colleagues that they support it.
  Every Member in this chamber knows what needs to happen for this bill 
to become law.
  The partisan riders need to come out so the bill can get bipartisan 
support.
  Instead the bill now includes additional divisive amendments today 
that will further jeopardize Congress' ability to enact a Defense 
appropriations bill on time.
  And in doing so we are failing to heed Churchill's advice--to learn 
from history--and not repeat the mistakes from last year.
  Mr. CALVERT. Mr. Chair, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from 
Arkansas (Mr. Crawford).
  Mr. CRAWFORD. Mr. Chair, I thank the chairman for yielding me time.
  I rise today in support of the cluster munitions prohibition 
amendment.
  We have heard from Members speaking in favor of this amendment, and I 
would like to echo their concerns from a military perspective.
  Cluster munitions do kill innocent civilians, but they also are 
incredibly deadly to U.S. military personnel as well.
  The vast majority of cluster munitions lack a self-destruct 
capability and have failure rates of 2 to 40 percent.
  With many of these war-torn nations unable to adequately address 
their own UXO clearance operations, often due to a lack of having their 
own EOD-trained personnel, this is where the United States military 
steps in.
  Through programs like the Humanitarian Demining Research and 
Development Program and the Humanitarian Mine Action Program, the U.S. 
Department of Defense sends highly skilled EOD personnel to provide 
demining assistance to partner nations post-conflict.
  This means that even if the United States is not directly involved in 
a conflict, we send America's EOD personnel into harm's way when they 
conduct clearance operations.
  President Biden has provided Ukraine with cluster munitions for use 
against Russia, and anyone would be a fool to believe that when the 
Ukraine-Russia conflict is over, American EOD personnel will not be 
sent to assist in post-conflict clearance operations.
  On my last visit to the EOD Memorial Wall at Eglin Air Force Base, I 
reread the names of 344 fallen EOD technicians. If we don't support the 
cluster munitions prohibition amendment, we will be adding more names 
to that wall.
  As a founder and co-chair of the Congressional Explosive Ordnance 
Disposal Caucus, it is my duty to be a voice in Congress for America's 
EOD personnel.
  Mr. Chair, I urge my colleagues to support the amendment.
  Mr. CALVERT. Mr. Chair, this is the final point I would make. The dud 
rate on the Russian cluster munitions exceeds 30 percent where the dud 
rate of the U.S. munition is extremely low.
  It is a terrible weapon. War is a terrible thing. These weapons are 
necessary for us to have our allies win. I would ask that we defeat 
this amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time.
  Ms. TITUS. Mr. Chair, I thank the gentleman from Arkansas for 
pointing out the danger of these weapons, not just to the victims but 
also to our own troops.
  As far as the dud rates go, the Department of Defense has indeed 
stated DPICMs have a low dud rate, 2.35 percent, as the Department has 
said. This figure, however, does not tell the whole story.
  The DOD tests the dud rate by dropping bomblets on a concrete 
surface. Obviously, every little bomblet will detonate on concrete, but 
that is not representative of the environments where they are deployed. 
When cluster munitions are dropped in mud, snow, marshes, and certain 
soft terrain, that dud rate skyrockets upwards of 50 percent.
  The DOD's announced dud rate figure cannot be taken at face value, 
and constructing an argument against this amendment solely based on 
that foundation is truly flawed.
  I just point out, again, the damage that is done to humanity by these 
weapons, and the majority of those who are casualties are children.
  Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the 
gentlewoman from Nevada (Ms. Titus).
  The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the noes 
appeared to have it.
  Ms. TITUS. 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 Nevada 
will be postponed.


                    Announcement by the Acting Chair

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, proceedings 
will now resume on those amendments printed in part A of House Report 
118-559 on which further proceedings were postponed, in the following 
order:
  Amendment No. 163 by Ms. Tenney of New York.
  Amendment No. 164 by Ms. Tenney of New York.
  Amendment No. 171 by Ms. Titus of Nevada.
  The Chair will reduce to 2 minutes the minimum time for any 
electronic vote after the first vote in this series.


                Amendment No. 163 Offered by Ms. Tenney

  The Acting CHAIR. The unfinished business is the demand for a 
recorded vote on amendment No. 163, printed in part A of House Report 
118-559, offered by the gentlewoman from New York (Ms. Tenney), on 
which further proceedings were postponed and on which the ayes
