          INTELLIGENCE AUTHORIZATION ACT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2011

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 264 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. 754.

                              {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. 754) to authorize appropriations for fiscal year 2011 
for intelligence and intelligence-related activities of the United 
States Government, the Community Management Account, and the Central 
Intelligence Agency Retirement and Disability System, and for other 
purposes, with Mr. Bishop of Utah (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, 
May 12, 2011, a request for a recorded vote on amendment No. 8 printed 
in House Report 112-75, offered by the gentleman from Delaware (Mr. 
Carney), had been postponed.


                  Amendment No. 9 Offered by Mr. Reed

  The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 9 
printed in House Report 112-75.
  Mr. REED. Mr. Chairman, 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, add the following new title:
 TITLE V--HONORING THE MEMBERS OF THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY FOR THEIR 
     ROLE IN THE MISSION THAT KILLED OSAMA BIN LADEN ON MAY 1, 2011

     SEC. 501. HONORING THE MEMBERS OF THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY 
                   FOR THEIR ROLE IN THE MISSION THAT KILLED OSAMA 
                   BIN LADEN ON MAY 1, 2011.

       Congress--
       (1) commends the men and women of the intelligence 
     community for the tremendous commitment, perseverance, 
     professionalism, and sacrifice they displayed in bringing 
     Osama bin Laden to justice;
       (2) commends the men and women of the intelligence 
     community for committing themselves to defeating, disrupting, 
     and dismantling al Qaeda; and
       (3) reaffirms its commitment to using the capabilities and 
     skills of the intelligence community to--
       (A) disrupt, dismantle, and defeat al Qaeda and affiliated 
     organizations around the world that threaten the national 
     security of the United States;
       (B) eliminate safe havens for terrorists in Afghanistan and 
     Pakistan; and
       (C) bring terrorists to justice.

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 264, the gentleman 
from New York (Mr. Reed) and a Member opposed each will control 15 
minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from New York.
  Mr. REED. Mr. Chairman, I rise today to join with my colleague, the 
gentleman from New York (Mr. Grimm), to offer an amendment honoring the 
brave members of the intelligence community for their role in the 
mission that killed Osama bin Laden on May 1, 2011.
  As we all know, Osama bin Laden was killed on May 1 by members of the 
SEAL team 6. The heroics of this SEAL team have been well documented in 
the press over the past weeks, but the work of other professionals in 
the intelligence community is less well known and has received less 
attention.
  Bringing Osama bin Laden to justice was the result of over 10 years 
of hard work and dedication. This historic operation was truly a team 
effort and an achievement shared by members of every intelligence 
agency and our entire Armed Forces.
  The diligent, painstaking work of our intelligence services made 
possible the recent successful action carried out by our military 
against Osama bin Laden. For this reason, Mr. Grimm and I feel the 
intelligence community is also deserving of recognition as a whole. 
They worked long hours in distant parts of the world, far from their 
families, far from their friends, to keep our country safe.
  When the members of the American intelligence community do their job, 
no one really knows about it. They are silent warriors who keep us 
safe. They are deserving of our deepest gratitude.
  Mr. Chairman, this amendment does exactly that. It commends our 
intelligence community for a job well done in bringing Osama bin Laden 
to justice. Thanks to the diligence of these intelligence 
professionals, the world is a safer place without Osama bin Laden.
  Mr. Chairman, even though Osama bin Laden has been brought to 
justice, the war on terror is not over. This amendment commends the men 
and women of the intelligence community for committing themselves to 
defeating, disrupting, and dismantling al Qaeda and all terrorist 
organizations that will do harm to our great Nation.
  This amendment also reaffirms our commitment to using the 
capabilities and skills of the intelligence community to disrupt, 
dismantle, and defeat terrorism once and for all from the face of this 
earth.
  Mr. Chairman, I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on this amendment.
  I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. RUPPERSBERGER. Mr. Chairman, I rise to claim the time in 
opposition to this amendment, even though I am not opposed to Mr. 
Reed's amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, the gentleman from Maryland is 
recognized for 15 minutes.
  There was no objection.
  Mr. RUPPERSBERGER. The killing of Osama bin Laden was a great 
achievement for our intelligence professionals, who have been working 
to eliminate this threat to our national security for years.
  Osama bin Laden was a terrorist leader who was responsible for 
killing thousands of innocent Americans, moms, dads, brothers, sisters, 
friends, and loved ones. As we all know, 9/11 changed America forever.
  On May 1, 2011, our military and intelligence professionals took 
extraordinary steps. People from the CIA, NSA, NGA, and elsewhere 
worked together as a team to get this job done. The mission was risky, 
but it was executed with great skill and precision. These professionals 
risked their lives to keep the country safe, and no Americans were 
lost.
  The men and women who carried out this operation exemplify the 
extraordinary courage of those who serve our Nation, including our 
special operations.
  The countless intelligence and counterterrorism professionals who 
have pursued bin Laden for years have the satisfaction of a job well 
done. I am glad we are able to honor those intelligence professionals 
in this Intelligence Authorization Act, including the military 
professionals. A grateful Nation thanks them for their service.
  I reserve the balance of my time.

                              {time}  0920

  Mr. REED. Mr. Chairman, at this time I am glad to yield such time as 
he may consume to my great colleague from New York (Mr. Gibson).

[[Page 7272]]


  Mr. GIBSON. I thank the gentleman for yielding.
  It is great to be here on the floor today. And I see we have the 
chair and the ranking member of the Intelligence Committee today too. 
It is an honor to be in their presence.
  We are here today with this amendment to commend and honor the 
hardworking professionals in our intelligence community on the 
successful operation against Osama bin Laden, the leader of al Qaeda, 
who attacked our country on the 11th of September of 2001.
  From my experiences in the Army deployed forward in Iraq, I know 
counterinsurgency and counterterrorism operations are difficult, 
complex, and require detailed analytical work to establish patterns of 
life, target development, situational awareness and understanding. 
Fortunately for us, we have the very best. From the tactical to the 
operational to the strategic level, our intel community is filled with 
incredibly talented people, the strength of any organization.
  Recently, I had the opportunity to meet with the Director of the CIA 
and the Director of the FBI to hear from them and to praise those who 
work in those organizations, and today we expand that to all those 
involved in the intelligence community: in uniform, out of uniform, 
here in the Congress, all the way across.
  Going forward, we know that we are going to need organizational 
changes to consolidate the intel community which has grown 
significantly since the 11th of September; but, fortunately for us, we 
have the smartest, the most knowledgeable professionals in the world 
who will help us make those reforms so we can continue to protect our 
cherished way of life.
  So once again, congratulations to all those who serve in the 
intelligence organizations. I urge my colleagues to support this 
amendment, and may God bless America.
  Mr. RUPPERSBERGER. Mr. Chairman, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman 
from New York (Mr. Nadler).
  Mr. NADLER. Mr. Chairman, I rise in support of the Grimm-Reed 
amendment to commend our intelligence community for their role in 
eliminating Osama bin Laden.
  Mr. Chairman, the killing of Osama bin Laden is the most significant 
victory over our most significant enemy. It deserves recognition in the 
Halls of Congress. That is why I was disappointed that the House 
Republican leadership chose not to bring up something similar to Senate 
Resolution 159. That resolution recognizes the hard work by all facets 
of our government, from the President to the military to the 
intelligence community. It honors the victims of 9/11 and their 
families, and it is bipartisan, having passed the Senate 97-0.
  I felt this type of resolution would be an appropriate vehicle with 
which to commend those responsible for the death of bin Laden, so I 
filed it as an amendment with the Rules Committee. But it was held not 
to be germane.
  I also filed the more narrow, more germane version with the Rules 
Committee, a version that commended only the members of the 
intelligence community who played a role in the operation. The 
amendment before us from Representatives Grimm and Reed is identical 
word for word to the version I originally filed with the Rules 
Committee, and I am gratified that they saw the merit in the wording 
that we drafted. While it does not adequately honor all those 
responsible for our great victory over al Qaeda, the President and the 
military in addition to the intelligence community, it does allow the 
House to express its appreciation and commendation to the intelligence 
community, and therefore I support it.
  The recent death of Osama bin Laden is a measure of justice that was 
long overdue. Hopefully, it will bring some comfort to the victims of 
9/11 and their families, many of whom live in my district where the 
World Trade Center was, of course, located.
  I ask all Members to support the amendment.
  Mr. REED. Mr. Chairman, I yield such time as he may consume to the 
chairman of the Intelligence Committee, my colleague from Michigan (Mr. 
Rogers).
  Mr. ROGERS of Michigan. Thank you very much.
  And I congratulate Mr. Reed on the amendment. I think it is wholly 
appropriate that we commend all of the intelligence services and our 
elite Special Forces who participated in bringing Osama bin Laden to 
justice. And it really wasn't a victory over one person or one leader, 
but a blow to the entire network, to the belief system of those that 
believe violence, killing innocent men, women and children of all 
religions, is a way to promote your political gains.
  If you think about the incredible accomplishment that happened after, 
and started really after 9/11, we had to make up for huge gaps in 
humint intelligence. And through the help of this body and this 
Congress and President Bush and then on to President Obama, we began to 
reassemble the abilities and capabilities of our intelligence 
community. Through interrogations, information was developed about how 
al Qaeda works and we understood its logistics, how it finances and 
recruits and moves people, how it recruits people to do suicide 
bombings, how it plans operations. All of that came in the early days.
  Then 5 years ago through an integration, there was a little piece of 
information, a nickname applied to an alias with someone who was 
hanging around other folks who were probably using nicknames applied to 
an alias who may be a courier for Osama bin Laden. And through all of 
our collection agencies, signals intelligence, satellite intelligence, 
other forms of intelligence, a case was slowly and surely developed 
that finally allowed, with a few lucky breaks and some great 
determination from our intelligence community, the ability to locate 
the place where they believed Osama bin Laden was hiding out. Once that 
was determined, they brought in our Special Forces community, who did 
an exceptional and superb job in bringing him to justice in what was a 
difficult situation.
  So I want to compliment Mr. Reed and Mr. Grimm for bringing this 
amendment forward to give a small sense of recognition to all of the 
work on behalf of the entire intelligence and Special Forces community, 
and the soldiers too who risked their lives in holding ground in places 
like Afghanistan to reestablish security there so that al Qaeda won't 
find safe haven there when they leave. All of those things and all of 
those capabilities are incredibly important. All of that service and 
all of that sacrifice led to last Sunday's successful event.
  Let us not forget, al Qaeda may be hurt, they have lost their 
operational and inspirational leader; but they are not down. This is 
not the time to back off. This is not the time to say that we should do 
other things or maybe we shouldn't be places at all. This is the time 
to step on the gas and break the back of al Qaeda as a threat to the 
world as we move forward.
  Again, I want to congratulate Mr. Reed and Mr. Grimm, and I 
wholeheartedly support this amendment.
  Mr. RUPPERSBERGER. First, I thank the chairman for his comments. We 
will work together on behalf of our country. It was a great day for 
America when we brought bin Laden to justice. I think we can be proud 
of the accomplishments of our intelligence community, our military, all 
Americans that were involved in helping to bring this individual to 
justice.
  As the chairman said, we have a lot more to do. But let the word go 
out to the world that if you come and you attempt to attack or kill 
Americans, we will find you and we will bring you to justice.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. REED. Mr. Chairman, I want to again, in closing, offer my support 
for this amendment. But I want to make sure the record is extremely 
clear.
  When Mr. Nadler, in his comments, commenting on his support of this 
amendment, indicated that the Rules Committee was going to rule his 
proposed amendment out of order for being non-germane, as a member of 
the Rules Committee, I know that the chairman of the Rules Committee 
had

[[Page 7273]]

indicated that he was more than willing to accept Mr. Nadler's 
amendment, germane amendment, but that amendment was withdrawn by Mr. 
Nadler.
  So I want the record to be very clear that we on this side of the 
aisle were ready and very eager to support the amendment offered by Mr. 
Nadler. And Mr. Grimm and I sought to make sure that this amendment was 
brought to the floor of this House, because it is right to stand here 
on this floor to recognize the intelligence community that had such a 
great success in the taking and bringing to justice of Osama bin Laden.
  So we ask that the record be clear on the issue and that all of our 
colleagues rise today, and across the Nation, and take a moment to 
recognize and applaud the efforts of our intelligence community; that 
the men and women who work day in and day out in silence, with little 
recognition, are recognized for at least one moment here on the floor 
of the House and in the official records of this great body for the 
great work that they do, and we applaud and we will always remember and 
honor that work on a regular basis in our thoughts and in our prayers.
  So I urge my colleagues to join us and support this amendment.
  Ms. HAYWORTH. Mr. Chair, I rise today in strong support of the 
amendment offered by Mr. Grimm commending our intelligence services' 
``commitment, perseverance, professionalism, and sacrifice they 
displayed in bringing Osama bin Laden to justice.''
  Mr. Speaker, it is clear that the effort to bring Osama bin Laden to 
justice was the result of countless hours of intelligence gathering, 
analysis, sharp thinking, skilled interrogation, and mission execution. 
The men and women who serve in our intelligence services, often 
anonymously, are true professionals, and they deserve our utmost thanks 
and gratitude.
  I would also like to take this opportunity to commend President Obama 
for his leadership in overseeing the mission that brought Osama bin 
Laden to justice, and Leon Panetta for his stewardship of the Central 
Intelligence Agency.
  The death of Osama bin Laden closes a painful chapter in our Nation's 
history. While I hope that the victims of, not only 9/11, but the 
countless other acts of murder, terror, and brutality he perpetrated 
can find some solace in his demise. But two headlines today remind us 
of the challenges that we still face in the threat of terror.
  In Islamabad today, a pair of suicide bombers struck paramilitary 
recruits at a training center in northwestern Pakistan, killing at 
least 80 people. And in New York City on Wednesday two individuals were 
arrested with a hand grenade, three semiautomatic pistols, 150 rounds 
of ammunition, and intentions to blow up a synagogue.
  The fight against terror is ongoing, and because of the tireless work 
of our intelligence agencies, we have not had a single deadly act of 
terror perpetrated on U.S. soil since 9/11. Our neighbors abroad have, 
unfortunately, not fared as well, as the attacks in Pakistan remind us.
  There is a reason for this, and it is the professionalism, 
patriotism, and perseverance of the professionals in our intelligence 
services. I again commend them for a job well done in bringing Osama 
bin Laden to justice, and wish them godspeed as they continue to 
protect our Nation.
  Mr. WOLF. Mr. Chair, I rise in strong support of this amendment to 
recognize the remarkable work done by Federal employees in the 
intelligence community and by our Federal law enforcement officers. 
Their tireless work over the last 10 years led to finding Osama bin 
Laden and the raids on his compound which resulted in his death--an 
extraordinary victory in the War on Terror.
  This important victory has come at a great cost to the brave men and 
women in our intelligence community and Federal law enforcement 
communities and their families. The first American killed in 
Afghanistan after 9/11, Mike Spann, was a CIA agent and a constituent 
from my congressional district. In January 2010, I attended funerals 
for some of the seven CIA agents who were killed by a Taliban suicide 
bomber at Forward Operating Base Chapman near the Afghanistan-Pakistan 
border.
  As we recognize this important victory, we must also remember those 
Federal employees in our intelligence and Federal law agencies who 
continue to risk their lives every day on the front lines side by side 
with our Armed Forces in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other fronts in the 
Global War on Terror. The American people appreciate their sacrifice 
and tireless work to protect our country.
  Mr. GRIMM. Mr. Chair, I rise today to offer an amendment honoring the 
brave members of the intelligence community, military and civilian, for 
their role in the mission that killed Osama bin Laden on May 1st, 2011.
  On September 11th, 2001, Osama bin Laden and members of his terrorist 
network struck at the heart of our Nation, carrying out attacks that 
took the lives of nearly 3,000 innocent Americans in New York, Virginia 
and Pennsylvania.
  Of those killed, 2,752 were in my hometown of New York City, 
including over 400 Firefighters, Police Officers and First Responders. 
The largest percentage of these Americans, and their families, called 
my district of Staten Island and Brooklyn home.
  So I have good reason to stand here today and congratulate the men 
and women of our intelligence community for the role they played in 
locating and killing Osama bin Laden, a man who was the embodiment of 
evil and oppression.
  To this day the wounds of 9/11 still run deep within all our 
communities: every night in my district, families sit down to dinner at 
tables with empty chairs and children grow up without their parents.
  I stand before you today to give voice to all those who demanded 
justice. I speak for them when I express our profound gratitude to the 
members of our intelligence community for their commitment to making 
sure Osama bin Laden received the proper punishment he was long 
overdue.
  The result of over 10 years of hard work and dedication, this 
historic operation was truly a team effort and an achievement shared by 
the members of every intelligence agency and our Armed Forces.
  But we must remember those who put the pieces together to make this 
possible. Intelligence gathered from detainees played an important role 
in the successful takedown of bin Laden. While we're all congratulating 
the CIA and everyone else responsible for this victory, we must 
recognize that behind the scenes the Department of Justice is still 
considering prosecution of CIA interrogators who most likely gathered 
pieces of the important information that helped us find bin Laden, 
using techniques that were authorized by the Department of Justice, 9 
years earlier. You can't have it both ways.
  The members of America's intelligence community are faceless warriors 
whose heroic accomplishments rarely see the light of day. They deserve 
our undying gratitude for their role in this extraordinary mission and 
deserve our praise, not prosecution.
  With mission and purpose, they have reaffirmed America's commitment 
to follow those who wish to do us harm to the ends of the earth in the 
pursuit of justice. After the attacks of 9/11 the American people have 
demanded nothing less, and I am proud to commend them on a job well 
done.
  Mr. DREIER. Mr. Chair, earlier today, the gentleman from New York, 
Mr. Nadler, expressed his frustration that the Committee on Rules 
excluded his two amendments from consideration on the House floor. In 
order to clarify the record, I submit a May 11, 2011, letter from Mr. 
Nadler stating that he wished to withdraw the two amendments that he 
referenced on the House floor. While one of Mr. Nadler's amendments was 
not germane to the bill it was my intention, prior to Mr. Nadler 
withdrawing his amendments from consideration, to recommend to the 
Committee on Rules that it make Mr. Nadler's germane amendment, No. 13, 
in order for consideration on the House floor.
  After Mr. Nadler withdrew his amendments, Mr. Grimm (R-NY) and Mr. 
Reed (R-NY) offered identical text to the amendment No. 13 previously 
submitted by Mr. Nadler. I would also like to submit for the Record a 
statement by Mr. Grimm expressing his support for the original Nadler 
amendment and his request to have this very timely and appropriate 
debate occur on the House floor.
  I would like to thank our newest member of the Rules Committee, Mr. 
Reed of New York, for his work in championing this amendment and 
expressing the very heartfelt views of so many of all of our 
constituents across the country. It was for these reasons that the 
Rules Committee made in order the Grimm-Reed amendment.

                                    Congress of the United States,


                                     House of Representatives,

                                     Washington, DC, May 11, 2011.
     Hon. David Dreier,
     Chairman, House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
     Hon. Louise M. Slaughter,
     Ranking Member, House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
       Dear Chairman Dreier and Ranking Member Slaughter: 
     Yesterday I submitted two

[[Page 7274]]

     amendments to H.R. 754, the Intelligence Authorization Act 
     for Fiscal Year 2011. I am writing to withdraw from 
     consideration both amendments, Nadler-Bishop-Slaughter-Owens 
     Amendment #2, NADLER_025.XML, and Nadler-Bishop-Slaughter-
     Owens Amendment #1, NADLER_024.XML.
       Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you for 
     your time and attention.
           Sincerely,
                                                   Jerrold Nadler,
                                               Member of Congress.
                                 ______
                                 
                                    Congress of the United States,


                                     House of Representatives,

                                     Washington, DC, May 11, 2011.
       I respectfully request that the Committee on Rules make in 
     order my amendment #22 to the Intelligence Authorization Act 
     for Fiscal Year 2011. The amendment is identical to an 
     amendment previously submitted by Mr. Nadler, my colleague 
     from New York, which I attempted to cosponsor. Unfortunately, 
     Mr. Nadler withdrew his amendment #13 before I was able to be 
     added as a cosponsor of the amendment. I remain committed to 
     the amendment and that is why I have submitted the identical 
     language under my name. As well, I am proud to be joined on 
     this amendment by my colleague from New York, Mr. Reed, who 
     is a strong voice on the Rules Committee for the citizens of 
     his district and the entire State of New York. The language 
     was kept intentionally restricted to be germane to the 
     underlying bill. Thank you for your consideration.
                                                 Michael G. Grimm,
                                               Member of Congress.

  Mr. NADLER. Mr. Chair, I rise reluctantly to correct the Record.
  Mr. Reed and Mr. Dreier appear to be confused. What they said about 
my remarks regarding my two amendments to H.R. 754 is false.
  The source of my dissatisfaction was not that the Rules Committee was 
going to rule one or both of my amendments out of order. I was not 
frustrated with the Rules Committee for any reason.
  My dissatisfaction stems from the refusal of the House Republican 
leadership to bring something like Senate Resolution 159 to the House 
Floor. This bipartisan resolution passed the Senate 97 to 0 and 
provided recognition for everyone involved in the death of Osama bin 
Laden. Passing something akin to Senate Resolution 159 in the House 
would have been the best way to mark this momentous occasion and, as 
such, I filed the same text as an amendment with the Rules Committee. 
Unfortunately, this amendment is not germane, a fact Mr. Dreier 
acknowledges. I withdrew that amendment before consideration by the 
Rules Committee.
  I also filed a second, narrower amendment with the Rules Committee, 
based on Senate Resolution 159, that is germane to H.R. 754. That 
germane version is identical to the amendment offered today by Mr. 
Reed. As I said earlier on the House Floor, I did not feel that such a 
narrow amendment adequately honors all of those responsible for 
eliminating bin Laden. I decided not to pursue my version of this 
amendment and thus I withdrew it from consideration by the Rules 
Committee. I never made any comments as to whether the Rules Committee 
was going to say this narrower amendment was or was not germane or was 
or was not in order before I withdrew it. I support Mr. Reed's 
amendment because at least it gives the House some chance to say thank 
you to our intelligence services.
  Additionally, Mr. Dreier submitted to the Congressional Record the 
letter I filed with the Rules Committee asking that both of my 
amendments be withdrawn. However, for some reason only part of my 
letter was incorporated. I am including with my remarks the complete 
text of the letter I filed with the Rules Committee.
                                    Congress of the United States,


                                     House of Representatives,

                                     Washington, DC, May 11, 2011.
     Hon. David Dreier,
     Chairman, House of Representatives, Committee on Rules,
     Washington, DC.
     Hon. Louise M. Slaughter,
     Ranking Member, House of Representatives, Committee on Rules,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Chairman Dreier and Ranking Member Slaughter: 
     Yesterday I submitted two amendments to H.R. 754, the 
     Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011. I am 
     writing to withdraw from consideration both amendments, 
     Nadler-Bishop-Slaughter-Owens Amendment No. 2, NADLER__ 
     025.XML, and Nadler-Bishop-Slaughter-Owens Amendment No. 1,

  Messrs. FRANKS of Arizona and BILBRAY changed their vote from ``no'' 
to ``aye.''
  So the amendment was agreed to.
  The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
  (By unanimous consent, Mr. Reichert was allowed to speak out of 
order.)


                     Law Enforcement Memorial Week

  Mr. REICHERT. Mr. Chairman and Members of this great body, this week 
is Law Enforcement Memorial Week. We have thousands of police officers 
from across the Nation here in Washington, D.C., to honor those fallen 
officers of last year and years before.
  Last year we lost 156 police officers who were killed in the line of 
duty protecting each and every one of us. This year we are on track to 
beat that record, unfortunately. Sixty-eight police officers have 
already been killed. I stand today to have all of you recognize their 
sacrifice and the families who have survived and the police officers 
who continue marching on.
  I yield to the gentleman from New York.
  Mr. WEINER. I thank the sheriff for yielding.
  When we lay down at night to sleep and we kiss our children to bed 
and we thank God for the country we live in and pray for good things 
for the day ahead, we know that whether we're in a small town with one 
sheriff or a police department like New York City that has over 38,000, 
that somewhere there are men and women who are out there protecting us. 
And unfortunately, as the sheriff points out, sometimes they don't come 
home. This is the time of year that we join together to pay tribute to 
them.
  We know as we stand here today that we do all we can to give them the 
tools to do their job, but at the end of the day, they are out there 
every single day. Rarely does someone stop a police officer and thank 
them because their car didn't get stolen, or their house wasn't 
burglarized, or they woke up in the morning and their home was safe, 
but this is the time of year we recognize that all of them are prepared 
to make sacrifices for us, and we should join in paying tribute to 
them.
  Mr. REICHERT. If we may have a moment of silence.
  The Acting CHAIR. Will all Members and guests in the gallery please 
rise and observe a moment of silence.


                  Amendment No. 9 Offered by Mr. Reed

  The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, 5-minute voting will continue.
  There was no objection.
  The Acting CHAIR. The unfinished business is the demand for a 
recorded vote on the amendment offered by the gentleman from New York 
(Mr. Reed) on which further proceedings were postponed and on which the 
ayes prevailed by voice vote.
  The Clerk will redesignate the amendment.
  The Clerk redesignated the amendment.


                             Recorded Vote

  The Acting CHAIR. A recorded vote has been demanded.
  A recorded vote was ordered.
  The Acting CHAIR. This is a 5-minute vote.

                           Motion to Recommit

  Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, I have a motion to recommit at the desk.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is the gentleman opposed to the bill?
  Mr. NADLER. I am opposed in its current form.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to 
recommit.
  The Clerk read as follows:

       Mr. Nadler moves to recommit the bill, H.R. 754, to the 
     Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence with instructions 
     to report the same back to the House forthwith with the 
     following amendment:
       At the end of title III, add the following new section:

     SEC. 304. PRIORITIZATION OF FUNDING TO COMBAT TERRORISTS.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) Under the leadership and direction of President Barack 
     Obama, the intelligence community performed with exceptional 
     bravery, commitment, and professionalism in the pursuit of 
     Osama bin Laden, who was killed on May 1, 2011, by the Naval 
     Special Warfare Development Group.
       (2) The tremendous dedication and personal sacrifice of the 
     anonymous men and women of the intelligence community over 
     the course of nearly two decades, including under the 
     leadership of former Presidents George W. Bush and Bill 
     Clinton, finally brought a measure of justice and relief to 
     the families and friends of those who lost their lives on 
     September 11, 2001, and those killed around the world in al 
     Qaeda-sponsored attacks.
       (3) Director of the Central Intelligence Agency Leon 
     Panetta, the Naval Special Warfare Development Group, and all 
     those involved in the intelligence operation against bin 
     Laden and in ongoing intelligence-related counterterrorism 
     operations are to be commended for their vigilance in 
     protecting the United States.
       (4) The death of bin Laden marks the most significant 
     achievement to date in the efforts of the intelligence 
     community to defeat al Qaeda, but the al Qaeda network and 
     its affiliates still pose a critical threat to the national 
     security of the United States and must be pursued.
       (b) Prioritization of Funding.--In obligating and expending 
     funds authorized to be appropriated in this Act, the head of 
     each element of the intelligence community shall place the 
     highest priority on funding activities that will contribute 
     to the continued disruption, dismantlement, and defeat of 
     remaining al Qaeda terrorists and affiliated organizations 
     that threaten the national security of the United States.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from New York is recognized 
for 5 minutes in support of his motion.
  Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, on September 11, 2001, Osama bin Laden 
murdered almost 3,000 Americans in cold blood. As the House Member 
representing Ground Zero, many of these innocent men, women, and 
children were my constituents and my friends. Words cannot do justice 
to the toll taken by this mass murderer. Of course, the attack on 
September 11 was part of a war Osama bin Laden and his terrorist 
organization al Qaeda had declared long ago and waged against the 
United States for years.
  After September 11, we vowed as a nation to wage war against al Qaeda 
and in particular to bring Osama bin Laden to justice. When President 
Obama made his dramatic announcement almost 2 weeks ago that American 
troops had killed bin Laden, we knew that our country had finally 
fulfilled that part of the promise.
  While I supported and we passed an amendment today to commend our 
intelligence community for their role in

[[Page 7279]]

eliminating bin Laden, I stand by my earlier statement that it was 
inadequate. This motion to recommit, which I am offering with Ms. 
Jackson Lee and Mr. Ellison, properly honors all those responsible. It 
appropriately commends everyone involved in the long road we took to 
bring bin Laden to justice--President Obama, President Bush, President 
Clinton, our Navy SEALs, and our intelligence community.
  The death of Osama bin Laden was a triumphant victory, but our work 
is not done. This final amendment reminds us that we cannot rest on our 
laurels. The threat of al Qaeda remains real and continuing. That is 
why in this final amendment we make clear to our intelligence community 
that the highest priority for funding in this bill is the disruption, 
dismantlement, and defeat of al Qaeda. We must focus on the materials 
captured from bin Laden's compound so we can stop them from striking 
again. I urge my colleagues to join us to ensure that we continue to do 
all we can to avoid another 9/11.
  In closing, I want to state my hope that we have a bipartisan show of 
support for this final amendment. Commending those who worked so hard 
to bring justice to bin Laden and recognizing our number one 
intelligence priority is the defeat of al Qaeda should be expressions 
that can be supported across the political spectrum.
  I yield to a cosponsor of the amendment, the gentleman from 
Minnesota.
  Mr. ELLISON. I urge all Members to join in supporting this very 
important motion to recommit.
  We have seen a great victory for our country, and yet we have 
suffered a tremendous loss, 3,000 of our countrymen lost because of al 
Qaeda and al Qaedaism and their belief system. But you know what? They 
have wreaked havoc all across this world. Whether it is Tanzania or 
whether it is Nairobi, they have brought murder and destruction across 
the globe. Even in Pakistan, 80 dead just recently. So we have got to 
make sure they are the priority, they are the focus, so we can rid the 
world of this pernicious, evil philosophy that has caused so much harm 
to so many.
  Mr. NADLER. I now yield to another cosponsor of the amendment, the 
gentlelady from Texas.
  Ms. JACKSON LEE of Texas. I thank the gentleman.
  I rise to support this motion to recommit.
  I introduced H. Res. 240, and 50 of you supported it, because we 
believe that all of those involved should be thanked, that all of 
America should be thanked. So many of us remember standing on those 
steps and singing ``God Bless America,'' singing it loudly. As others 
in America sang and joined together, we were not to be daunted.
  And, yes, this particular resolution thanks President Clinton and 
President Bush. It talks about the bravery and the courage. And it also 
acknowledges President Obama calling and directing the order and making 
sure that all of our resources were used. And it also shows that our 
Navy SEALs, in spite of the loss of life of so many soldiers, our Navy 
SEALs came back alive and they captured Osama bin Laden.
  Isn't it important to make the statement that the prioritization of 
our intelligence community should be focused on getting rid of al 
Qaeda, disrupting them and those affiliated? Vote for this motion to 
recommit because it does, in fact, provide the opportunity to thank 
everyone, and it says again, God bless America.
  Mr. Speaker, as a Senior Member of the Judiciary Committee and 
Committee on Homeland Security, I want to make sure that this Chamber 
fully recognizes and acknowledges the exemplary bravery, courage, and 
patriotism demonstrated by the Special Operations Command, the Naval 
Special Warfare Development Group, the intelligence community, and 
President Barack H. Obama for successfully bringing Osama bin Ladan to 
justice for acts of terrorism committed against the United States on 
September 11, 2001.
  This is a Bipartisan, American issue. We have a rare opportunity to 
give some measure of relief to all those victims of the 911 tragedy and 
to acknowledge the efforts to bring Osama bin Laden to justice that 
spanned three Presidential Administrations beginning with the efforts 
of President Bill Clinton's Administration, continuing with the efforts 
of President George W. Bush's Administration which all set the stage 
for President Obama to move with swiftness, decisiveness and leadership 
to finally bring Osama bin Laden to justice.
  We must be mindful that this does not end our efforts to protect 
America from terrorist threats like that of Al Qaeda. We still have 
much to do in that effort, but we should not miss this historic 
opportunity to thank three Presidents, our intelligence community and 
our military for their 10 year of persistence and their successful 
mission to bring the Terrorist Osama bin Laden.
  Today, a large number of lives were lost in Pakistan; an al Qaeda 
associated organization attacked innocent persons. We must continue to 
stamp out this violence.
  So, I urge my colleagues to join me in voting for the motion to 
recommit.
  Ms. PELOSI. Mr. Speaker, the first responsibility of all Members of 
Congress is to keep our country safe. Critical to fulfilling that 
obligation is providing members of the intelligence community with 
every resource they need to do their jobs.
  Today, with this Democratic amendment, we address this challenge 
head-on.
  I'd like to acknowledge the leadership of those who introduced this 
amendment: Congressman Nadler, Congresswoman Jackson Lee, and 
Congressman Ellison.
  I thank them for bringing to the floor legislation that: ensures that 
our top priority in funding our intelligence services is the campaign 
to disrupt, dismantle, and defeat Al Qaeda and affiliated 
organizations; honors the extraordinary courage, dedication, and 
sacrifice of the intelligence officers, analysts, and Navy SEALs who 
located, tracked, and killed Osama bin Laden; and commends the 
leadership of President Obama in carrying out this mission and 
recognizes the commitment of Presidents Clinton and Bush for advancing 
this fight. As it says, this action ``brought a measure of justice to 
the families of the victims of 9/11.''
  Strengthening our intelligence capabilities and establishing clear 
priorities are not partisan issues; they are critical to our national 
defense.
  That is why I urge Republicans to join Democrats to pass this motion 
and keep the pressure on those who attacked our shores nearly 10 years 
ago.
  Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, in closing, I again want to stress that this 
amendment commends all those who worked so hard to bring justice to bin 
Laden and recognizes that our number one intelligence priority is the 
defeat of al Qaeda. It should get bipartisan support. A very similar 
resolution passed the Senate 97-0. I ask for support.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. ROGERS of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to the 
motion to recommit.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes.
  Mr. ROGERS of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, it's laudable that they would 
commend the men and women of the intelligence community. We certainly 
thank them for that. We just did that a few minutes ago. That would 
certainly qualify for the department of redundancy as we would move 
forward.
  The one that I find mystifying, we came so close, so close, to 
finally making this a bipartisan product. So the first part was great. 
You said thank you very much to the folks and hid behind the great work 
of the men and women of the intelligence community. But then you blow 
up the entire intelligence bill by prioritizing of funding.
  Two things that does. One, it blows up the work, the framework. 
There's a priority framework in the intelligence community that sets 
these standards and tells the intelligence community, here are your 
priorities, given place, given region, given resources. That happens 
already. So you basically say, well, we don't believe that you ought to 
be doing that. We should be doing that. Wrong answer.
  The second part of it is we have a classified annex and it talks 
about very important investments that we in a bipartisan way have 
worked to get to--code breaking, cybersecurity. What you are saying is 
cybersecurity isn't as important. You think this is more important. 
That is not for us to determine.
  We just went through months and months of work to tell the 
intelligence

[[Page 7280]]

community to put the classified annex together to say, here are the 
intelligence priorities as we go forward. This bill is intended to gut 
the work of the last few months that we have just done in a bipartisan 
way.
  I tell you, it's a little frustrating knowing that we came that 
close, Mr. Speaker, to getting a bipartisan product that represents the 
values of the intelligence community, the resources that they need, 
and, yes, says thank you to the men and women who will never be known 
for the work they do to keep America safe.
  I recommend a strong rejection of this amendment.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the previous question is 
ordered on the motion to recommit.
  There was no objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion to recommit.
  The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that 
the noes appeared to have it.
