 COMMERCE, JUSTICE, SCIENCE, AND RELATED AGENCIES APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 
                                  2016

  The Committee resumed its sitting.


                     Amendment Offered by Mr. Gosar

  Mr. GOSAR. Mr. Chairman, I have an amendment at the desk.
  The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will report the amendment.
  The Clerk read as follows:

       Page 23, line 6, insert after the dollar amount the 
     following: ``(reduced by $2,209,500)''.
       Page 24, line 14, insert after the first dollar amount the 
     following: ``(increased by $1,709,000)''.

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 287, the gentleman 
from Arizona and a Member opposed each will control 5 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Arizona.
  Mr. GOSAR. Mr. Chairman, I rise today to offer an amendment which 
seeks to bolster funds for the Department of Justice inspector general 
in order to meet the fiscal year 2016 budget request.
  As a member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, I 
am a firm believer in the proper oversight of the Federal Government. 
The more sunlight on Federal activity, the more honest and efficient it 
will be.
  I am also a strong proponent of our inspector general community. 
Since the Inspector General Act was passed into law, the IG community 
has saved taxpayers billions of dollars and has uncovered countless 
examples of wrongdoing in the Federal Government.
  It seems only fitting that the inspector general's office receive the 
budget requested resources, particularly at the expense of the office 
it will likely need to investigate first.
  In the committee report, the committee noted, ``The DOJ OIG has had 
significant investigative and audit workload.'' In fact, we have seen 
numerous scandals and coverups from within this agency and at the 
recommendation of the previous Attorney General.
  I applaud the committee for including language in this bill to 
permanently prohibit funds for Fast and Furious-like programs and for 
the many other reforms contained in this legislation, but I do believe 
more needs to be done to ensure additional transparency and 
accountability within the DOJ.
  Let's give the DOJ OIG the resources it needs to investigate this 
agency and to ensure the Justice Department adheres to the law.
  I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. CULBERSON. Mr. Chairman, I claim the time in opposition, but I do 
not oppose the amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, the gentleman from Texas is 
recognized for 5 minutes.
  There was no objection.
  Mr. CULBERSON. Mr. Chairman, I agree very strongly with the gentleman 
in that the inspector general's office does superb work. It is an 
independent agency whose oversight is crucial.
  The amendment will certainly improve oversight and ensure that our 
constituents' hard-earned tax dollars are well spent. I would urge 
Members to support the gentleman from Arizona's amendment.
  I yield back the balance of my time.

[[Page 8311]]


  Mr. GOSAR. I thank the chairman and the ranking member for their 
support.
  Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the 
gentleman from Arizona (Mr. Gosar).
  The amendment was agreed to.


            Amendment Offered by Ms. Brownley of California

  Ms. BROWNLEY of California. Mr. Chairman, I have an amendment at the 
desk.
  The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will report the amendment.
  The Clerk read as follows:

       Page 23, line 6, after the dollar amount, insert ``(reduced 
     by $2,500,000)''.
       Page 42, line 24, after the dollar amount, insert 
     ``(increased by $2,500,000)''.
       Page 46, line 12, after the dollar amount, insert 
     ``(increased by $2,500,000)''.

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 287, the gentlewoman 
from California and a Member opposed each will control 5 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from California.
  Ms. BROWNLEY of California. Mr. Chairman, I rise to offer an 
amendment to H.R. 2578, which would increase funding in Veterans 
Treatment Courts.
  Our Nation's heroes are returning home from over a decade of war in 
Iraq and Afghanistan with the invisible wounds that come with multiple 
deployments in military service to our Nation.
  The signature wounds of these wars, post-traumatic stress disorder 
and traumatic brain injury, have led to a rise in mental health issues 
among our veterans. According to the National Center for PTSD, about 11 
to 20 percent of veterans who served in Operation Iraqi Freedom and 
Enduring Freedom have PTSD in a given year. Since 2005, the number of 
veterans diagnosed with post-traumatic stress has doubled.
  Too often, these mental health issues can severely impact a veteran's 
life--from being able to keep a job, to drug abuse, to criminal 
activity in some circumstances. Instead of receiving the mental health 
services and support that they need, a growing number of veterans ends 
up being incarcerated in our justice system.
  My simple amendment would increase funds for Veterans Treatment 
Courts by $2.5 million. Veterans Treatment Courts are designed to give 
veterans with mental health and substance abuse issues and who find 
themselves in trouble with the law an opportunity to get the help they 
need while avoiding jail time.
  In my district, the Ventura County Veterans Treatment Court, which 
started as a pilot program in 2010, has helped dozens of veterans. 
Judge Colleen Toy White, one of the program's many champions in Ventura 
County, knows that the treatment courts reunite families and save 
lives.
  Rather than arresting and jailing veterans for a few days or weeks 
and then putting them back on the streets with nothing changed in their 
lives, the Ventura County collaborative court connects veterans to 
needed treatment and services, which may include mental health care, 
drug and alcohol treatment, vocational rehabilitation, or other life 
skill services and programs.
  The process begins with a guilty plea, an in-court meeting involving 
the veteran, his or her attorney, and a VA representative.
  I was very impressed with the care that the court officers and 
volunteers extended to our veterans who found themselves before the 
court. A recent success for the Ventura County Veterans Treatment Court 
is a young man who was an Active Duty marine.
  Before leaving the service in 2014, he had completed three combat 
tours in 12 years. He was arrested for two DUIs within 3 weeks. After 5 
months of treatment, he still stands with his back against the wall 
rather than taking a seat in court. It is a common sign in combat 
veterans, but he is now getting evaluated by VA, is going to treatment, 
and has hope once again.
  Since the Veterans Treatment Court program began in 2008 in Buffalo, 
New York, over 220 Veterans Treatment Courts have been established 
across the United States, and many more are being planned.
  I believe we need to increase Federal resources to these critical 
programs nationwide, which is what my amendment seeks to accomplish. It 
is our obligation to ensure our veterans receive the appropriate 
attention to their needs and that we do whatever we can to help them 
transition to an independent civilian life.
  I strongly urge my colleagues to support my amendment to provide 
veterans who are in trouble with the resources they need to help them 
secure a strong future.
  Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. FATTAH. Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition even though I am not 
opposed to the amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, the gentleman from Pennsylvania 
is recognized for 5 minutes.
  There was no objection.


            Modification to Brownley of California Amendment

  Mr. FATTAH. Mr. Chairman, I ask unanimous consent that we modify the 
amendment and, rather than strike line 12 on page 46, strike line 7.
  The Acting CHAIR. Would the gentlewoman from California send the 
modification to the desk.
  The Clerk will report the modification.
  The Clerk read as follows:
  Modification to Brownley of California amendment:

       Page 46, line 7, after the dollar amount, insert 
     ``(increased by $2,500,000)''.

  The Acting CHAIR. Is there objection to the request of the gentleman 
from Pennsylvania?
  There was no objection.
  Mr. FATTAH. Mr. Chairman, I have visited the Intrepid Center over in 
Bethesda. We have been working with our veterans on post-traumatic 
stress. I know, in Houston, some of the best work in the Nation is 
being done at the University of Texas, at the Center for BrainHealth in 
Dallas, and your work in Houston.
  I had my own experience with this. I had a young man, Bill Cooper, 
who on his last day in Iraq went out on patrol, and he was the victim 
of an IED. Some 59 operations later, he ended up working for me in my 
district offices.

                              {time}  1800

  He is just doing a wonderful job helping other veterans in the 
Philadelphia area, but post-traumatic stress is a circumstance that far 
too many of our veterans have faced.
  I want to thank my colleague from the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 
area, Congressman Pat Meehan, who has helped to lead this effort on 
veterans courts, and the chairman and I support it. I thank the 
gentlewoman for her amendment.
  I am prepared to yield back the remainder of my time because, again, 
I am not in opposition. I am in favor of the amendment.
  Mr. CULBERSON. Will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. FATTAH. I yield to the gentleman from Texas.
  Mr. CULBERSON. Mr. Chairman, I thank the gentleman for yielding and 
would join in supporting the gentlewoman's amendment. The veterans 
courts do great work. I support the gentlewoman's amendment and urge 
Members to support it.
  Mr. FATTAH. Mr. Chairman, I should report to the House that Bill 
Cooper got married, just had a new son, and got his graduate degree on 
the GI bill that we passed. He is just another example of what can 
happen for our veterans when we take care of them.
  I thank the gentlewoman from California, and I yield back the balance 
of my time.
  Ms. BROWNLEY of California. Mr. Chairman, I appreciate very, very 
much the chairman accepting my amendment. I appreciate his support, and 
I know veterans across the country will as well.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment, as modified, 
offered by the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Brownley).
  The amendment, as modified, was agreed to.


                   Amendment Offered by Mr. MacArthur

  Mr. MacARTHUR. Mr. Chairman, I have an amendment at the desk.

[[Page 8312]]

  The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will report the amendment.
  The Clerk read as follows:

       Page 23, line 6, insert after the dollar amount the 
     following: ``(reduced by $750,000)''.
       Page 38, line 9, insert after the dollar amount the 
     following: ``(increased by $750,000)''.
       Page 40, line 10, insert after the dollar amount the 
     following: ``(increased by $750,000)''.

  The Acting CHAIR (Mr. Westmoreland). Pursuant to House Resolution 
287, the gentleman from New Jersey and a Member opposed each will 
control 5 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from New Jersey.
  Mr. MacARTHUR. I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Mr. Chairman, I rise to offer an amendment to H.R. 2578 along with 
the gentlewoman from North Carolina (Ms. Adams), who unfortunately was 
called away on an emergency and can't be here to speak with me.
  The Violence Against Women Act has been an important step--a critical 
step, really--in ending the scourge of violence against women, and the 
elderly abuse grant program has been an important part of that. It 
funds training and services to end abuse of women in later life. The 
question is how much funding is necessary for this.
  The National Network to End Domestic Violence suggests that that 
number is $9 million for the program, and this Congress previously 
authorized $9 million. Unfortunately, we can't afford that right now, 
and so we have to settle for something less. The President's budget, 
however, sets the amount at less than half, and that is simply not 
enough.
  My amendment would increase that amount to $5.2 million, which is $1 
million over the President's request and $750,000 over the current 
mark. We would pay for that by moving $750,000 from the Department of 
Justice administration account.
  Mr. Chairman, the elderly abuse grant program has successfully helped 
many older women escape neglect, abuse, and exploitation taking many 
forms. Our elderly population is growing, and we simply believe we need 
a little more funding to make this program handle the growing 
population. Alma Adams from North Carolina and I have cosponsored the 
amendment because this is not a Republican or Democratic issue; this is 
a very human issue. I ask my colleagues to support it.
  I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. CULBERSON. Mr. Chairman, I claim the time in opposition but do 
not oppose the amendment and would, in fact, encourage Members to 
support it.
  The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, the gentleman from Texas is 
recognized for 5 minutes.
  There was no objection.
  Mr. FATTAH. Will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. CULBERSON. I yield to the gentleman from Pennsylvania.
  Mr. FATTAH. Mr. Chairman, I would agree with the chairman and his 
wisdom, and I would also ask my colleagues to support it. I have no 
objection.
  Mr. CULBERSON. I urge Members to support it. It is a good program and 
appreciate very much the gentleman bringing this to the floor today and 
urge Members to vote ``yes.''
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. MacARTHUR. Mr. Chairman, I want to thank both the chairman and 
the ranking member for their support.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the 
gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. MacArthur).
  The amendment was agreed to.
  The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will read.

                     Amendment Offered by Mr. Gosar

  Mr. GOSAR. Mr. Chairman, I have an amendment at the desk.
  The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will report the amendment.
  The Clerk read as follows:

       Page 25, line 3, insert after the dollar amount the 
     following: ``(reduced by $1,000,000)''.
       Page 98, line 20, insert after the dollar amount the 
     following: ``(increased by $1,000,000)''.

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 287, the gentleman 
from Arizona and a Member opposed each will control 5 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Arizona.
  Mr. GOSAR. Mr. Chairman, I rise today to offer a simple good 
governance to the Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies 
Appropriation Act for the fiscal year 2016. The amendment seeks to hold 
the Department of Justice accountable for its failure to enforce the 
rule of law. Specifically, my amendment decreases available funding for 
the salaries of individuals who concoct ways to undermine Federal 
criminal immigration laws.
  This amendment is very similar to an amendment that passed this body 
last year in relation to the DOJ's lack of enforcement of Federal 
marijuana laws and was offered by my friend and colleague Congressman 
Fleming. My amendment reduces Department of Justice's general legal 
account by $1 million, specifically targeting the Deputy Attorney 
General's Office. I will continue to seek similar amendments until the 
Attorney General decides to enforce the Federal criminal immigration 
laws on the books.
  In 2014, the Department of Justice instructed the U.S. Attorney's 
Office in some States to no longer prosecute persons that violate 
certain criminal immigration laws. I have heard firsthand from law 
enforcement in my district that such actions have placed unnecessary 
burdens on these officers, increased costs, put local communities at 
risk, and encouraged more illegal immigration.

[[Page 8313]]

  The committee raised similar concerns about the selective enforcement 
of these laws in the committee report stating: ``The committee is 
concerned with the inconsistent enforcement of Federal criminal 
immigration laws and supports programs like Operation Streamline. The 
Attorney General is directed to submit a report to the committee . . . 
The report shall describe steps the Department is taking to ensure that 
the Federal criminal immigration law is enforced vigorously and 
consistently across the country to include prosecution guidelines and 
policies by district.''
  My amendment is consistent with the concerns expressed by the 
committee and echo this message without harming the overall operation 
of the Department.
  I thank the chair and ranking member for their leadership on this 
bill.
  I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. FATTAH. I rise reluctantly in opposition to this amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Pennsylvania is recognized for 5 
minutes.
  Mr. FATTAH. Mr. Chairman, if the proposal would have been to put this 
money in the veterans courts or drug courts or youth mentoring, I 
probably wouldn't be standing; but the idea of putting it into savings 
when we know that the allocation is already shy of what we needed and 
that many programs that we have had to give shorter appropriations to 
than we would have otherwise makes me reluctant to support this 
amendment, and I would ask the House to oppose it.
  I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. GOSAR. Mr. Chair, I yield to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. 
Culberson), the chairman of the subcommittee.
  Mr. CULBERSON. Mr. Chairman, I want to express my support for the 
gentleman's amendment. I think he is exactly right. We need to send a 
very strong message to the administration that they must enforce the 
law as enacted by Congress. That has been the central theme I have 
tried to pursue as the new chairman of the Subcommittee on Commerce, 
Justice, Science, and Related Agencies. It is the foundation of all our 
liberty.
  There is no liberty without law enforcement, and the Chief Executive 
has a duty under the Constitution to enforce the law as written by 
Congress and to faithfully execute that law. If any of the Federal 
agencies under the President's jurisdiction want access to our 
constituents' hard-earned tax dollars, they need to enforce the law as 
written by Congress.
  I strongly support the gentleman's amendment; and, frankly, putting 
it in the savings account is a good thing because that goes back to the 
taxpayers. I support the gentleman's amendment and would urge Members 
to vote ``yes'' to send a message to the White House. If the White 
House doesn't get it, they will learn it throughout the year under the 
new chairman of the CJS Subcommittee.
  Mr. GOSAR. I thank the chairman for his support, and I ask all my 
colleagues to vote for this bill.
  Mr. FATTAH. I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. GOSAR. I yield back the balance of my time as well.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the 
gentleman from Arizona (Mr. Gosar).
  The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes 
appeared to have it.
  Mr. FATTAH. Mr. Chairman, 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 Arizona 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 on which further proceedings were 
postponed, in the following order:
  An amendment by Mr. McClintock of California.
  An amendment by Ms. Esty of Connecticut.
  An amendment by Ms. Michelle Lujan Grisham of New Mexico.
  An amendment by Mr. Gosar of Arizona.
  The Chair will reduce to 2 minutes the time for any electronic vote 
after the first vote in this series.


                  Amendment Offered by Mr. McClintock

  The Acting CHAIR. The unfinished business is the demand for a 
recorded vote on the amendment offered by the gentleman from California 
(Mr. McClintock) on which further proceedings were postponed and on 
which the noes 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.

                    Announcement by the Acting Chair

  The Acting CHAIR (during the vote). There is 1 minute remaining.

                              {time}  1856

  So the amendment was agreed to.
  The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.


                          personal explanation

  Mr. VAN HOLLEN. Mr. Chair, on June 2, 2015, I was unavoidably 
detained and missed four votes. Had I been present, I would have voted 
``no'' on rollcall No. 270, ``yea'' on rollcall No. 271, ``yea'' on 
rollcall No. 272, and ``no'' on rollcall No. 273.
  Mr. CULBERSON. Mr. Chairman, I move that the Committee do now rise.
  The motion was agreed to.
  Accordingly, the Committee rose; and the Speaker pro tempore (Mrs. 
Ellmers of North Carolina) having assumed the chair, Mr. Westmoreland, 
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. 2578) making appropriations for the Departments of Commerce 
and Justice, Science, and Related Agencies for the fiscal year ending 
September 30, 2016, and for other purposes, had come to no resolution 
thereon.
