  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. McCAIN. For the information of my colleagues, in approximately 45 
minutes, the Senate will have a vote on a motion to table the Paul 
amendment, which means around 12:15 p.m.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Maryland.
  Mr. CARDIN. Mr. President, earlier this week, we commemorated the 
16th anniversary of the attack on our country on September 11. It was a 
day that I think none of us will ever forget. We were attacked, and we 
wanted to take all necessary action to protect our country and go after 
those who perpetrated this attack against America.
  I was part of the Congress at that time and was part of the Congress 
that passed the 2001 authorization for the use of military force that 
was targeted toward Afghanistan, and I was part of the Congress that 
when we took up the 2002 authorization for use of military force 
against Iraq, I voted against that authorization.
  It has now been 14 years after the U.S. invasion of Iraq and the end 
of the Saddam Hussein regime. Yet we still have the authority for the 
use of military force against Iraq, and it is still being used. It is 
time for that authorization to end. I take this time to support Senator 
Paul's efforts to put a termination date on the 2002 authorization and 
to put a termination date on the 2001 authorization.
  The 2001 authorization was the first we passed. It was done virtually 
unanimously. There was some objection, but very few, because we wanted 
our country to hold those responsible in Afghanistan for the attack 
against America. That authorization is now 16 years old. Let me read 
for my colleagues exactly what that authorization said, what we passed 
16 years ago:

       That the President is authorized to use all necessary and 
     appropriate force against those Nations, organizations, or 
     persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or 
     aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 
     2001, or harbored such organizations or persons, in order to 
     prevent any future acts of international terrorism against 
     the United States by such nations, organizations or persons.

  That is the authorization. It is pretty specific. It is pretty 
specific to go after those who were responsible for the attack against 
the United States that was centered in Afghanistan, and it was used for 
that purpose. Our military took action against Afghanistan as a result 
of the attack against our country, and that was authorized by Congress.
  It is hard to understand how you can get from the reading of this 
authorization of the use of military force today as congressionally 
authorized against ISIS in the Middle East, in Africa, or anywhere in 
the world, but that is the interpretation that has been given to the 
action of Congress in 2001. I think that interpretation cannot be 
defended.
  Congress has a responsibility to act. We have a responsibility to 
specifically authorize the new threats that we have against our country 
and what military force is appropriate. That is our responsibility. 
This is a different threat than we saw 16 years ago. It is our 
responsibility to give congressional authorization for the use of 
military force. Some say it cannot be done. Well, if it can't be done, 
then we don't agree on the authorization of force.
  Let me just remind my colleagues that the Senate Foreign Relations 
Committee, over 3 years ago, passed an authorization for the use of 
military force. We came together in our committee, and I know Senator 
Kaine and Senator Flake have worked on a proposal that is certainly 
much more focused toward the current circumstances. Some of us may have 
amendments to that, some of us may disagree with it, but that is the 
debate we should be having. There should be no debate that the 2001 
authorization does not apply to our current circumstances.
  We should pass an authorization that is tailored to allow the 
President to effectively go after the direct threats to the United 
States. That is our responsibility. We owe it to the American people 
and we owe it to the men and women who serve in our military to give 
them clear authority from Congress in their military operations. There 
clearly needs to be direction given by Congress. We have seen an abuse 
of the 2001 authorization, so we need to be pretty clear.
  I must tell you that I have heard over and over again from our 
generals that there is no military-only victory against ISIS. We can't 
win this by a military victory alone. We need to make sure that there 
are leaders in countries that protect their citizens, not only their 
physical security but good governance in their human rights.
  We have new challenges we need to deal with--cyber threats against 
the United States. We are concerned about a physical caliphate; now we 
are concerned about a virtual caliphate as we take more and more of the 
territory away from the ISIS forces. So that is what we need to do.
  Senator Paul's amendment gives us that opportunity by saying quite 
clearly that the 2001 and 2002 authorizations need to end--need to 
end--that we don't today have clear authorization from Congress to 
pursue the military campaign against ISIS, and we need to have that.
  There are some who say: Well, what happens if we don't meet that 
deadline? Well, let me tell you something. The President has plenty of 
authority. Read article 2 of the Constitution. He has the inherent 
power to protect our country and our national security, and he can take 
action in order to do that.
  I was particularly struck as to why we need the Paul amendment when I 
received a letter in my capacity on the Senate Foreign Relations 
Committee from Secretary Mattis and Secretary Tillerson. You see, the 
Senate Foreign Relations Committee was having meetings, trying to 
figure out how to proceed on the authorization for the use of military 
force. During one of those meetings, we had the opportunity to have 
Secretary Mattis and Secretary Tillerson before us, and we had a candid 
discussion about what type of authorization would make sense. It was 
done in a closed setting so we could have a candid discussion, and I am 
not going to reveal the specifics because I thought that is what we 
should be doing. But I can tell you, I left with the impression that 
there was room for Congress to work with the administration on the 
authorization of force, and I was hopeful that we were going to have an 
open hearing in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, the committee 
of jurisdiction, on the AUMF.
  We had similar discussions under the Obama administration. As a 
result of those discussions, President Obama submitted to Congress what 
he believed would be an appropriate authorization for the use of 
military force. That authorization was never taken up, but he asked for 
it.
  Well, just recently, we received notice from Secretary Tillerson and 
Secretary Mattis that the President does not want Congress to adjust 
the authorizations because he has adequate authority to do what he 
wants to do. I understand that. If you take their interpretation--it is 
not just this administration; it is prior administrations' 
interpretation of the AUMF--they have a blank check. But that is not 
our responsibility being carried out.
  We are the ones who are responsible for the authorization of force, 
not the President of the United States, and according to this 
President, he has blank-check authorization from Congress.
  So it is our responsibility to make sure that when our men and women 
are sent into harm's way, they have direct authorization from the 
Congress of the United States unless, by the way, there is an urgent 
situation that requires the President to act, which he can do under 
article 2.
  So I urge my colleagues that we have a chance to start this debate 
right here and now by supporting the Paul amendment, and I intend to do 
that.
  With that, I yield the floor.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The minority whip.
  Mr. DURBIN. Mr. President, I want to stand in support of the 
statement just made by my colleague from the Commonwealth of Maryland. 
He

[[Page 13950]]

knows, as I know, that our responsibilities as U.S. Senators include 
important votes. Some of the votes we cast will blur into history, and 
we will be hard pressed to remember them. But certainly any vote 
involving sending America to war is a vote you will never forget--at 
least not this Senator. Many of those votes cast over the years in the 
House and the Senate have created sleepless nights before the vote 
because you understand that even under the best of circumstances, 
people will die as a result of your vote. Not just the enemy but even 
our own risk their lives and die in defense of the United States.
  It was 9/11/2001 when this U.S. Senate was faced with the awesome 
responsibility of voting to go to war. There were two votes. The first 
was on the invasion of Iraq. There were 23 of us--22 Democrats and 1 
Republican--who voted against the authorization for the use of force 
and the invasion of Iraq. I continue to believe that when it comes to 
foreign policy, it is the most important vote that I have ever cast. 
Twenty three of us voted no.
  The second vote was on the invasion of Afghanistan and a different 
vote completely. We had just gone through 9/11, and 3,000 innocent 
Americans had been killed. The images are still in my mind--and will be 
until I die--of what I saw as a result of that heinous attack, that 
atrocious attack by terrorists on the World Trade Center, on the 
Pentagon, and, of course, what happened in the fields of Pennsylvania.
  So the vote came to the floor, and they basically said: When it comes 
to the invasion of Afghanistan, we are going after the people 
responsible for 
9/11. I joined every other U.S. Senator of both political parties in 
voting yes. We had to make clear to terrorists around the world that 
when you strike the United States, you will pay a price. We will hunt 
you down, we will find you, we will bring you to justice or bring you 
to your end on Earth. I voted for it, and I knew it was the right thing 
to do. That is what I was sent here to do.
  Little did I realize, having cast that vote 15 or 16 years ago, that 
I wasn't just voting to go after the terrorists responsible for 9/11; I 
was voting for the longest war in the history of the United States of 
America, a war that continues to this day in Afghanistan. I don't think 
there was a single member of the Senate--either party on the floor--who 
would have believed that was what we were voting for. It has happened.
  To date we have lost almost 2,400 American lives, tens of thousands 
have been injured in Afghanistan, billions and billions of dollars have 
been spent, and there is no end in sight. Who is responsible for that? 
Ultimately, Congress is responsible for that. The Constitution and the 
people who wrote it made it clear that we have the responsibility to 
declare war. It is a responsibility that may have clarity in the 
Constitution, but it is one that we don't accept willingly in most 
circumstances. Most Members of the Senate will acknowledge that 
constitutional opportunity and authority, but they don't want to cast a 
vote for fear that they are going to vote an incorrect way as history 
will judge.
  Now we have a proposal by Senator Paul of Kentucky. It is one that I 
think should be supported by every Member of the Senate. What it says 
is this: Within 6 months, the authorization for the use of military 
force we voted for so long ago is going to be eliminated, and we, in 
that period of time, have to come up with a new authorization that 
reflects the new reality of the threat against the United States. That 
is our constitutional responsibility. The President, as Commander in 
Chief, always must step up and defend America, but when it comes to the 
declaration of war, that is the responsibility of Congress.
  I will be supporting this effort by Senator Paul. I believe it is 
consistent with our constitutional responsibility, and I believe it is 
also time for us to renew the debate as to our future in Afghanistan, a 
war that has claimed so many American lives, created so many 
casualties, and cost us so dearly. It is time for us, on behalf of the 
American people, to engage in that debate again.
  I yield the floor.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Connecticut.
  Mr. MURPHY. Mr. President, first let me lend my support to efforts to 
bring amendments before the floor later today or later this week with 
respect to strengthening our Nation's ``Buy American'' laws. This has 
been a cause that I have been working on for almost my entire career in 
the U.S. Congress, and it is about time we start making sure that when 
we are spending billions of dollars for the U.S. military, we 
prioritize American companies so that we don't allow for those dollars 
to flow overseas when we have companies in Connecticut, North Carolina, 
and Illinois that can do the work. This is important, and I hope we 
take some votes on these measures that I think will draw bipartisan 
support either this week or next.
  I do rise, though, to lend my voice, as well, to the amendment being 
offered by Senator Paul. Let me stipulate that this is an extraordinary 
amendment to sunset an authorization of military force that currently 
provides the legal authorization for our continuing military efforts to 
take out al-Qaida as they try to plan attacks against the United States 
and our allies. It is time for extraordinary measures because we have 
simply not done our constitutional duty in declaring and authorizing 
war.
  I would argue, as many of my colleagues do, that no matter how 
necessary it is for the United States to take the fight to ISIS, as we 
have in Iraq and Syria and other places around the world, that is not 
currently authorized by the U.S. Congress, and it is a fairly 
extraordinary leap of statutory interpretation to think that an 
authorization to attack al-Qaida, the perpetrators of the attacks on 9/
11, allows you then to conduct a global war with almost no limits 
against this new enemy.
  To me, if we don't reauthorize military action against ISIS, perhaps 
against other foes that we confront, then I am not sure the Congress 
will ever again authorize war. Why? It is a lot harder to authorize 
military action today than it was a century ago or 50 years ago. We 
aren't marching conventional armies across a field against one another. 
We aren't signing neat peace treaties that provide a clear end to 
hostilities. The enemy is shadowy and diffuse and perpetual, and 
victory now is harder to define than ever before. It is very easy for 
the U.S. Congress to just step back and say that authorizing military 
force is too hard. It is too difficult, so we outsource it to the 
executive branch to decide who we fight, where we fight, when we fight, 
and how we fight. That is not what the Founding Fathers imagined, and, 
in fact, there is very good reason to vest in the Congress the sole 
authority to declare war. If I thought that we were going to do this 
without the sunsetting of the existing AUMFs, then I wouldn't support 
this extraordinary measure. I have been here long enough to know that 
it is far too easy and convenient for this Congress to allow for an 
Executive, whether it be a Republican or Democratic Executive, to 
define the parameters of war and to name new enemies who have not been 
before this body for debate.
  So I think it is time for us to sunset these authorizations, and I do 
think that with that pressure, we will be able to come up with a new 
authorization that gives our military and our Executive what they need 
in order to continue the fight against groups like ISIS, while 
protecting the interests of our constituents, who, frankly, by and 
large, no matter what State they are from, do not want the President of 
the United States--this or any other--to have an unchecked ability to 
bring the fight to anyone, anywhere around the globe.
  I will just state, take a look at the way in which the President 
suggested he was authorized to take action against the Assad regime as 
evidence of how unending the current interpretation can be. The 
justification for that action was because it was next to action being 
taken against ISIS, which was authorized because ISIS has some familial 
relationship to al-Qaida. That

[[Page 13951]]

is three or four steps removed from any debate this body has ever had. 
That is not what the Founding Fathers intended.
  I am going to support Senator Paul's amendment. I will then 
vigorously work with my colleagues to try to craft an authorization 
that gets the job done. It is about time.
  I yield the floor.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Kansas.
  Mr. MORAN. Mr. President, thank you.
  Prior to arriving in the U.S. Senate after the election of 2010, I 
was a Member of the House of Representatives, and I am one of the 30 
percent of us in Congress today who were here in 2001 and approved the 
use of military force in response to the terrorist attacks of 9/11.
  I hate to say this at this moment because the vote is so closely 
pending, but I don't know what the right answer to this question is--
the one we face today. I firmly believe that it is the U.S. Senate and 
U.S. Congress's authority and constitutional responsibility to declare 
war. I worry that the resolution that is before us only eliminates the 
current resolutions, only eliminates the current authority. What is 
missing is the followup.
  I just heard my colleague from Connecticut indicate that he will work 
vigorously to see that we have the opportunity to vote for a resolution 
authorizing force, but in some ways we have the cart ahead of the 
horse.
  I will be the one who will always argue that it is our 
responsibility, it is Congress's responsibility to make these decisions 
as determined by the U.S. Constitution. It gives us that authority and 
that responsibility. The question in my mind is, Is it prudent to 
eliminate the authorization today before we have a new authorization in 
place? And I don't know the answer to that question.
  While I have heard my colleagues say we will work to accomplish that, 
having experienced the U.S. Senate now for the last 7 years, I worry 
that a 6-month opportunity will be forgone, those authorizations may 
not occur, and, at best, once again the U.S. Senate may be presented 
with a fait accompli, which is, here is a resolution authorizing force. 
We are out of time. The 6 months is gone. Take it or leave it.
  We will have a gun to our heads to approve, in an expeditious way, 
something that is not really what I would be supportive of. Once again, 
I will have the dilemma: Do I vote for some authorization of force even 
though it is not the one that is well thought out?
  If I thought we were going to do an authorization of force, I would 
have expected it to have occurred already. I commend Senator Corker, 
the chairman of the committee, and many of my colleagues who have 
worked to put an authorization--a resolution in place and voted it out 
of committee, but no vote has occurred on the U.S. Senate floor, and no 
vote has occurred in the U.S. House of Representatives. I don't know 
whether we are setting the stage for us to be once again in a position 
of ``Here it is; take it or leave it,'' or worse than that, I suppose, 
is leaving those who serve our country in a position of not knowing 
whether their Congress supports their efforts.
  It is not as if this is prospective; we already have troops on the 
ground in Afghanistan. I just returned from Afghanistan. That was my 
fourth visit there. I was there over the Labor Day weekend. I came to 
the conclusion that we belong in Afghanistan. I don't believe this is 
about rebuilding Afghanistan as much as it is about protecting 
Americans. There are 21 terrorist organizations at work in Afghanistan, 
out to kill citizens of the United States, attack us, and we have the 
Government of Afghanistan allowing us the opportunity to be engaged in 
a battle to defeat those terrorist organizations.
  The idea that we would walk away--in fact, I heard my colleagues 
earlier talk about how long we have been there. Does anybody talk about 
how long terrorism is going to be with us? So the idea that we should 
set a parameter for our timeframe, knowing that we are engaged in a 
great battle for the future of our Nation with terrorist organizations 
that want us dead, seems to be the wrong way to look at this issue. I 
don't know what the right timeframe is, and I am saddened that we are 
still there, but it is not a matter of time, it is a matter of 
accomplishment of the mission of ending terrorist attacks against the 
United States. Nine-eleven remains fresh in my mind.
  So the issue we face is, Does this resolution offered by the Senator 
from Kentucky put us in a position in which we finally do what we are 
supposed to do, which, in my view, is authorize, declare war--not 
necessarily an authorization of use of force, but whatever that 
mechanism of authorization is, does this resolution, this vote we will 
take today, does it put us in a position to take advantage of the 
circumstance in which Congress finally utilizes its authority and 
accepts its responsibility? I don't know the answer to that question.
  We are making progress in Afghanistan. The greatest evidence of that 
to me was my visit to Bagram, to the hospital, during which I learned 
that 84 percent of the patients at the hospital are Afghani, not 
Americans.
  I support the statement of strategy by the administration in regard 
to our efforts in Afghanistan and particularly the need to deal with 
Pakistan as a sanctuary.
  The last thing I would want to do, having just returned from visiting 
with troops, including many Kansans, is make a decision today that they 
are no longer supported by Congress.
  Going to war is something that, in my view, has been too easy in the 
United States, and we have had Presidential leadership for a long time 
that has downplayed the importance of war. We have been told that it 
will be easy, that oil revenues will pay for the war. It seems as if 
our political leadership in this country wants the American citizens to 
believe that we can go to war and that they will not suffer any 
consequence or participate in any way.
  Declaring war and the authorization of use of military force by 
Congress brings the American people into this, rather than downplaying 
the significance and sacrifice. It makes certain that others, not just 
our military men and women and their families, make a sacrifice, that 
we are all in this together, and would involve Congress making a 
decision that this endeavor, whatever it is, is worth the potential 
loss of life by Americans who serve in our military.
  These are difficult and challenging but important decisions, and I 
want to work with my colleagues to find the right solution--not just to 
walk away from a resolution but to make sure we have in place something 
that gives the authority to our troops to succeed.
  Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that Senator McCain be 
recognized prior to Senator Corker's speaking time.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Mr. REED. Mr. President, reserving the right to object, I ask if the 
Senator from Kansas would modify the request and I be allowed to speak 
for up to 5 minutes before Senator McCain?
  Mr. MORAN. Mr. President, I modify my request and ask unanimous 
consent that Senator McCain and Senator Reed be recognized prior to 
Senator Corker's speaking time.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The Senator from Kentucky.
  Mr. PAUL. Mr. President, for the first time in 15 years, we are 
debating the congressional role in the declaration of war.
  We have fought the longest war in U.S. history under an original 
authorization to go after the people who attacked us on 9/11. That war 
is long since over, the war has long since lost its purpose, and it is 
long past time that we have a debate in Congress about whether we 
should be at war.
  It is the constitutional role of Congress. Interestingly, the folks 
you have heard on either side of the issue have said it is our job. It 
is what we should be doing. Yet we haven't done it for 16 years. Who in 
their right mind thinks that Congress is actually going to do their job 
without being forced to do their job?

[[Page 13952]]

  My resolution is actually silent on whether we should still be at 
war. My resolution simply says that the resolutions we have previously 
passed will expire. I don't believe they have anything to do with the 
seven wars we are involved with currently, anyway, but if we were to 
force them to expire, we would then have a debate.
  But for those who say: Yes, Congress should exert its authority; 
Congress should be involved in the initiation of war--they don't really 
believe that unless they are going to vote that way. What will happen 
is the continuation of the same--that we abdicate that role and let the 
President do whatever he wants.
  It is worse than that. Let's say that we were to vote for my 
resolution and that the authorization to go to war after 9/11 expired. 
Do you think any of the wars would end? No. The neoconservatives and 
the neoliberals believe the President has unlimited authority. They 
call it article II authority for war. There is some authority given to 
the President--an enormous amount of authority--to execute the war but 
not to initiate the war. The sole duty of initiation of war was given 
specifically to Congress.
  So if these authorities were to expire--the President already says: I 
have all the authority I want under the Constitution to do whatever I 
want. But that is not what our Founders wanted. Madison, if he were 
here, would vehemently disagree. Madison wrote that the executive 
branch is the branch most prone for war; therefore, the Constitution, 
with studied care, vested that power in the legislature. It was 
supposed to be difficult to go to war.
  Some wrung their hands and said: Oh, the Senate can never agree on 
any authorization to go to war. How long did it take us after Pearl 
Harbor? Twenty-four hours, and we declared war on Japan. How long did 
it take us after 
9/11? It took 3 days. We can come together as a body when we are 
attacked, when we are unified in purpose. But guess what--after 16 
years, it is difficult to determine the purpose in Afghanistan.
  Also, those who say: We need a new authorization, but it is going to 
authorize war anywhere, anytime, with no geographic limit and no time 
limit--basically they would be authorizing everything we are doing now 
and not putting any limitations on it. We are in Yemen. We are aiding 
and abetting the Saudi war in Yemen. Yet there has been no vote on it. 
Seventeen million people live on the edge of starvation because of the 
Saudi blockade and bombing campaign. We are aiding and abetting that. 
Yet there has been no vote here in Congress.
  Look, we have problems here at home. These wars are costing trillions 
of dollars. They are unauthorized. We have not voted on them. And I 
say, look, let's pay attention to some of the problems we have here at 
home. We are going to have a $150 billion tab for the Hurricane Harvey 
damage in Texas. Yet we continue with unauthorized, unconstitutional, 
undeclared war. I think it is time to think about the problems we have 
here at home. I think it is time to think about the $20 trillion debt 
we have. But we still have this wringing of hands and gnashing of 
teeth, saying: What if Congress doesn't do its job? What if we allowed 
this authorization of force to expire and we didn't get another one?
  The thing is, that is abdicating your constitutional duty. The duty 
is to do what is within your constitutional duty. It is not to say: 
Well, the other Congressmen won't do their job, so I am not going to do 
my job.
  Our job is to enforce, obey, and execute the Constitution. The 
Constitution says Congress shall declare war. It doesn't say the 
President can go to war anytime, anywhere around the globe. It says 
Congress shall declare war. So for the first time in 15 years, we are 
debating whether Congress has a role in this.
  Those who vote no against my resolution are basically voting--even 
though they will say otherwise, they are voting to say: Well, let's 
just let the status quo go on. The President can do what he wants. It 
is too emotional, it is too controversial to debate war. So we will 
keep letting the President do whatever he wants.
  My vote is to grab power back. My vote is to say: The Senate has 
prerogative here. The Constitution gives the power to the legislature. 
That is what this vote is about. It is about grabbing back the power to 
declare war and saying this is a Senate prerogative. So the majority, 
in all likelihood, will say: No, we do not want to do that. We think 
that would risk some war somewhere, sometime.
  That is the point. We should be debating where we should be at war. 
Should we be at war in Somalia? Should we be at war in Libya? Should we 
be at war in Yemen? Should we be at war in Iraq, in Syria, in 
Afghanistan?
  Look, President Obama ran on ending the wars; yet he ended up taking 
the war and bombing campaign to seven countries without his having any 
authorization. Intriguingly, the left was relentless in criticizing 
George Bush; yet George Bush did come to Congress. We had a vote to go 
after those who attacked us on 9/11. We had an ill-fought campaign with 
regard to the Iraq war, but we did actually vote on it. We have not 
voted for a generation. Should one generation be able to bind another 
generation?
  Realize that, if we do not force these authorizations to expire, this 
war could go on forever. This is 1984. This is George Orwell's saying 
that Oceania has always been at war with East Asia and then, a month 
later, his saying that Oceania has always been at war with Eurasia--
because no one is stepping up to say no. That is what Congress is 
supposed to do. We are supposed to be a voice that debates and asks: 
Should we go to war? It is part of doing our job, but the only way to 
get Congress to do its job is to actually let these expire.
  We should have a full-throated debate over who initiates war. There 
is no murkiness to the Constitution. The Constitution is explicit. The 
power of the initiation of war--the declaration of war--lies with 
Congress, but the war in Afghanistan has gone on for 16 years now. Our 
young men and women who will be fighting in the war in the next year or 
so were not yet born on 9/11. We have long since killed the people who 
perpetrated 9/11. With the killing of bin Laden, there is no person 
left in the leadership of al-Qaida or the Taliban who was around at 
that period of time. Yet we say: Well, it is still the Taliban. If you 
are going to say that we are going to fight until the end of time--that 
we are going to have a perpetual war until the end of time--and that we 
are going to kill every radical Islamist in the world, it is an 
impossibility.
  I would say, at the very least, let's have a debate. If that is your 
purpose, if that is your goal, and if that is what you stand for, step 
forward, and let's have a debate. Let's debate the war in Yemen. Let's 
debate the war in Somalia. Let's debate whether we should be bombing 
people in Nigeria. Let's debate whether we should be in Syria, Iraq, 
Iran, Afghanistan. Let's have a debate about all of these different 
wars. Let's not just muddle on and say: Oh, the President can do what 
he wants.
  Realize that the people in this body who are for perpetual war do not 
even think we should have any role in it. They tell me quietly every 
day that the President can do whatever he wants under article II of the 
Constitution. That is absolutely false. Read the Federalist Papers. 
There is extensive debate over the war-making power. From Washington, 
to Adams, to Jefferson, to Madison, they all said very explicitly: We 
give this power to Congress because we fear the perpetual wars that we 
have seen in Europe. We fear the wars of brother fighting brother and 
brother fighting cousin within these royal disputes that went on 
endlessly in Europe. He set up our founding document to try to make war 
difficult, but when we have been attacked, it has been easy to come 
together. For 9/11, virtually unanimously, we came together within 3 
days. For Pearl Harbor, it was within 24 hours.
  What I would say to my colleagues is: Do your job. This is your 
constitutional role. Let's let these expire, and

[[Page 13953]]

over the next 6 months, let's debate whether we should be at war and 
where.
  I, for one, am one who says that we should oppose unauthorized, 
undeclared, unconstitutional war. At this particular time, there are no 
limits on war. The 9/11 proclamation has been interpreted so widely 
that it could mean anything. You have people who interpret it widely, 
but you also have people who say that the Constitution says that the 
President can do anything. This is not what our Founding Fathers 
intended.
  I am proud to be a part of and an instigator of the debate. For the 
first time in 15 years, the full Senate will vote on whether we have a 
role in initiating war, whether we should continue to be at war, or 
whether we should even vote on whether we should continue to be at war.
  I urge the Senate to adopt my amendment, which would be a 6-month 
moratorium--a 6-month sunset--on the 2001 and 2002 resolution so that 
we could then have the real debate. But mark my words: Those who will 
come out and say that they are for the real debate are not really for 
it unless they are willing to sunset it, because we have been going for 
16 years without having a real debate. There will be no real debate on 
war unless we pass this resolution.
  I yield back my time.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mrs. Ernst). The Senator from Rhode Island.
  Mr. REED. Madam President, Senator Paul has been relentless in doing 
something that has to be done, which is the revision of the AUMFs from 
2001 and 2002. Yet there is sort of a simple notion that you cannot 
replace something with nothing, and we have nothing. This is 6 months 
of more time when, in the last 16 years, even at the request of a 
President, we have not been able to come together as a Senate. I don't 
know where the House is on this, but I think that it is equally 
befuddled in providing the kind of specific language we need for an 
AUMF.
  This would be a different debate and a different vote if we were to 
have before us an actual AUMF that would immediately supersede the 
existing authorities. Without such an AUMF, we are going to cause 
confusion, and we are going to cause disruption among our forces and 
our allies. In my having spent a little bit of time in the Service, 
when there is a possibility that in 6 months you will have to cease 
operations, you begin planning almost immediately for those operations. 
By the time we get around to actually even considering this--since I do 
not think there are any plans to do it immediately--we could see 3 or 4 
of those months evaporate. With each passing day, the concerns about 
redeployment and repositioning and authorities become more pressing to 
the military. Not only that, but even if they are sophisticated in 
understanding that it is not yet the law of the United States, our 
allies will read this--will see it--as a signal that we are weakening 
in our cooperation.
  What we have seen over the last several months, in Iraq particularly, 
has been effective Iraqi indigenous forces in close cooperation with 
U.S. special operations and other forces, and they have made progress. 
They will have political blowback in Baghdad and Kabul, especially if 
this provision passes. Then I think, very adroitly, our adversaries 
will take advantage of this. The newspapers and the social media that 
they control--and, unfortunately, they control a great deal in all 
parts of the world--will make this very simple: the United States to 
leave, the United States restricting authority. Those are the practical 
consequences.
  Again, this would be an entirely different debate and an entirely 
different vote, I think, if we were looking at a real replacement for 
the AUMFs of 2001 and 2002. So I would urge my colleagues to think not 
just about the constitutional imperatives--the congressional 
authorities to declare war, the Presidential authorities under article 
II--but to think about the practical and almost immediate consequences 
to those in the field, to our allies, and also of the possible ways in 
which this act could be used by our adversaries.
  I yield the floor.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Arizona.
  Mr. McCAIN. Madam President, I want to discuss the amendment, which 
has to do with the importance of the authorization for use of military 
force in the ongoing U.S. operations against violent extremist 
organizations.
  First of all, it is important to acknowledge why our current fight 
against terrorism is necessary. Earlier this week, we commemorated the 
anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks, which took the lives 
of thousands of innocent Americans, shook our Nation to its core, and, 
importantly, brought us together in common resolve to make sure that 
kind of tragedy would never, ever happen again.
  In pursuit of that noble goal, thousands of brave men and women in 
uniform are currently deployed in Afghanistan, Iraq, and many other 
places. No matter what else we do in this body and on this legislation, 
we must always ask ourselves if we are doing everything we can to 
support those servicemembers as they risk their lives to defend us.
  At the same time, we must recognize the ways in which the current 
conflict is different from when Congress passed the first authorization 
for use of military force in 2001. The landscape of the global fight 
against terrorism has changed dramatically with the emergence of ISIS 
and the spread of the threat beyond Afghanistan and Iraq. That is why I 
and many others have long called for updating the AUMFs.
  Yet the nature of the conflict remains the same: Terrorist 
organizations continue to warp the religion of Islam and promote a 
radical ideology to recruit new fighters and plot violent attacks as 
part of their jihad against the United States of America and all that 
we stand for.
  As chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, I am open to a 
process that would develop a new AUMF specific to the current fight 
against ISIS and other terrorist organizations as identified by the 
administration. I would be very willing to work with my colleagues, 
including the chairman and ranking member of the Foreign Relations 
Committee, as well as the Senator from Kentucky, to ensure that the 
legislation proceeded under regular order and included hearings, a 
committee markup, and a floor amendment process that ensured that each 
Member of this body was able to have his or her voice heard.
  Haven't we had enough of bringing things to the floor without 
hearings, without amendments, without debate? I am confident that an 
overwhelming bipartisan majority of my colleagues would agree to 
approve the use of military force against the vicious, brutal enemy 
that we face in ISIS and its associated forces.
  The amendment before us now falls far, far short of that process. 
Repealing the 2001 and 2002 AUMFs without simultaneously passing a new 
authorization would be premature, it would be irresponsible, it would 
threaten U.S. national security, and it would inhibit our democracy-
building efforts abroad.
  As we speak, we have troops deployed overseas who are engaged in the 
fight against ISIS, al-Qaida, the Taliban, and other violent extremist 
organizations. Repealing the existing AUMFs without having a 
replacement would jeopardize the legal authority for ongoing military 
operations. I cannot stand by silently as this body considers taking 
any action that would put our currently deployed servicemembers at 
risk.
  It is also important to recognize that adopting this amendment would 
embolden our enemies and would send a signal to the members of the U.S. 
Armed Forces who are serving in Afghanistan, Iraq, and elsewhere that 
Congress and the American public no longer support their mission and 
their sacrifice. We cannot send that message, because it is not true.
  In closing, I agree with those who support this amendment that the 
time has come for a new authorization for use of military force in the 
global fight against terrorism, but this amendment is, simply, not the 
way to do it. Rather than repealing the existing AUMFs

[[Page 13954]]

without passing a new authorization, I urge my colleagues to work 
together on a new, bipartisan AUMF that addresses the threats we face 
today.
  There are many Members on both sides of the aisle who have been 
working together on AUMFS, including the chairman of the Foreign 
Relations Committee. That is a process in which I would be proud to 
participate, and it is one that would honor those who are currently 
deployed in harm's way, fighting to make sure that our Nation never 
sees another day like 9/11. But I cannot support anything that fails to 
provide our men and women in uniform with everything they need--
including the legal authority--to keep our Nation safe.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Tennessee.
  Mr. CORKER. Madam President, I agree with so much of what the Senator 
from Arizona just said.
  We are getting ready to go through a procedural motion that I just 
want to briefly explain. Senator Paul has offered an amendment. I would 
prefer that we have an up-or-down vote on this, personally. I do not 
support the amendment for many of the reasons that Senator McCain just 
laid out. But in order for Senator Paul--I am doing this out of respect 
for his desire to have a recorded vote. I am going to move to table his 
amendment, which allows him, per Senate rules, to actually get a vote. 
If it were just a straight up-or-down vote, he would have to have 
unanimous consent for this to occur. He cannot get that. So this is not 
a hostile act. He is sitting right beside me, and he understands what I 
am doing.
  I am going to move to table this shortly. I do not support the 
substance of this amendment. I agree that we need to take action on an 
AUMF, even though the administration believes--and I agree with them--
that they have a legal basis to do what they are doing now against 
ISIS, per the 2001 and 2002 AUMFs. I agree with that.
  I am all for updating the AUMFs. Our committee intends to do so. 
There has been a bipartisan amendment offered by committee members 
wherein we hope to take up an AUMF. But doing away with the legal basis 
by which we are going against ISIS today, before we have implemented 
and put in place another one, to me, is not prudent. It would mean we 
would immediately need to begin winding down our operations, and it is 
not in our national security interests to do so.
  So out of a courtesy to the Senator from Kentucky, who serves on our 
committee, I move to table the Paul amendment No. 871, and I ask for 
the yeas and nays.
  This will allow him to have a recorded vote.
  With that, I yield the floor.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there a sufficient second?
  There appears to be a sufficient second.
  The question is on agreeing to the motion.
  The clerk will call the roll.
  The bill clerk called the roll.

from Florida (Mr. Rubio).
  Further, if present and voting, the Senator from Florida (Mr. Rubio) 
would have voted ``yea.''
  Mr. DURBIN. I announce that the Senator from New Jersey (Mr. 
Menendez) and the Senator from Florida (Mr. Nelson) are necessarily 
absent.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Are there any other Senators in the Chamber 
desiring to vote?

                Amendment No. 545 to Amendment No. 1003

  Mr. McCONNELL. Madam President, I call up amendment No. 545.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report.
  The senior assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       The Senator from Kentucky [Mr. McConnell], for Mr. McCain, 
     proposes an amendment numbered 545 to amendment No. 1003.

  Mr. McCONNELL. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the 
reading of the amendment be dispensed with.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The amendment is as follows:

  (Purpose: To strike the section relating to the treatment of storm 
              water collection systems as utility systems)

       Strike section 2814.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The majority whip.


                      Hurricane Harvey Devastation

  Mr. CORNYN. Madam President, the rain is no longer falling in 
Houston, but the streets are still being flooded as the Corps of 
Engineers lets water that threatens the integrity of dams located north 
of Houston out of those dams, actually reflooding some of the 
neighborhoods that previously have been flooded, even after the rain 
has stopped for a number of days now.
  The weight of Hurricane Harvey is still pressing down on my home 
State of Texas, where many are struggling for some good news and a 
breath of fresh air. The latest numbers that I have seen are that 
roughly 100,000 people have lost their homes, 70,000 are still living 
in shelters or in motel rooms, others are living with friends and 
family, and more than 700,000 people have registered for individual 
assistance with the Federal Emergency Management Agency--more than 
700,000.
  With the water drained in most parts of the city and the area, mold 
is the next thing that pops up in buildings and houses, and then come 
the mosquitoes. The mosquitoes aren't just a nuisance. They are a 
public health hazard as well. We happen to live in an area of the 
United States where the particular mosquito that carries the West Nile 
virus and the Zika virus is present. So this represents a public health 
challenge as well.
  These are just some of the aftereffects that I heard about as I 
traveled the State last week. Those are the more localized problems. As 
we know, there are others that spread far beyond brick homes and 
ranches with barbed-wire fences. For example, the challenges, the 
coordination, and the logistical support among many actors were usually 
some of the biggest problems that we saw demonstrated with Hurricane 
Katrina.
  Having learned the lessons of Hurricane Katrina, I can't tell you how 
proud I am of the great collaboration, consultation, and support that 
we have gotten from the President at the Federal level and all the way 
down to the State and local leadership, which have stepped up and I 
think made all of us proud.
  While some say it takes a village, my experience in Texas is that it 
also takes an army. Indeed, Harvey's devastation has been so vast 
across swaths of the State that we have called in help from our Armed 
Forces. Members of our military have served crucial roles throughout 
the storm and continue to do so now that the waters have begun to 
recede. These include the U.S. Coast Guard, Marine Corps, Army, Navy, 
and

[[Page 13955]]

Air Force. More than 12,000 Texas National Guardsmen were activated by 
Governor Abbott alone, and thousands more have been sent from other 
States to help out in the rescue and recovery effort.
  What did these troops do in their Humvees, helicopters, their 
amphibious boats, and warships? They did a lot. The Army National Guard 
alone delivered more than 75,000 pounds of hay to flooded ranches and 
stranded cattle. Other troops showed up to provide medical services and 
disaster relief supplies. They assisted with debris management, route 
clearance, and--in scenes we have all seen on TV--heroic search and 
rescue operations. That is not all. They provided surveillance aircraft 
so that imagery could be provided to FEMA of the impact area while 
State Guard members ensured that people who were evacuated were part of 
an emergency tracking system. These members of our military are 
responding to Hurricane Irma in Florida as well.
  Earlier this week, the Pentagon sent ships, aircraft, and, of course, 
fuel to the region to help. So our military has helped in ways that 
perhaps most of us don't really appreciate. They don't exist just to 
fight and win our wars; they respond to natural disasters like 
Hurricanes Harvey and Irma as well. And thank goodness they are there 
to do that. As the past few weeks have shown, there is always a risk of 
unforeseen events, and with them, our troops are being stretched 
awfully thin.
  We know the importance of making sure that this week and next, we do 
everything we can to demonstrate our real support for our men and women 
in uniform by passing the National Defense Authorization Act. That is 
why this is so important this week, because not only does it affect our 
readiness, as I said earlier, to fight and win our Nation's wars in 
places around the world, it is also important to our ability to respond 
to natural disasters like Irma and Harvey.
  The NDAA, in addition to natural disasters, allows us to address 
ongoing readiness challenges that we have inherited in the attempt once 
again to cash the peace dividend when there is no peace.
  My colleague and friend Mac Thornberry, chairman of the House Armed 
Services Committee, has spoken about just how dire this situation is. 
He is just one of many voices on this topic. He calls past inaction a 
``funding paralysis.'' The financial straitjacket he is referring to, I 
might add, is one we desperately need to break out of when it comes to 
funding and equipping and training and preparing our military to be 
ready when we call them.
  Today, I want to emphasize several amendments I plan to file to the 
NDAA, the National Defense Authorization Act. They will help make sure 
that America is safer and, importantly, take steps to correct some of 
the foreign policy mistakes we saw under the previous administration. 
Let me talk about three of those amendments.
  The first amendment focuses on countering the world's foremost 
sponsor of terrorism--Iran. The amendment targets Mahan Air, that 
country's largest commercial airline. That airline has repeatedly 
played a role in exporting terrorism to other places around the world.
  Mahan is a government-controlled airline parading as a commercial 
enterprise. You can go online right now and purchase a ticket to fly to 
nearly 40 international airports on Mahan Airline, including ones in 
countries with which we have a visa waiver agreement. Yet Mahan Air 
supports the efforts of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard to ferry 
weapons and personnel to Syria and Iraq and supports Hezbollah as well. 
In order to operate, it bypasses normal security procedures, omits 
information from flight manifests, and falsifies documents for 
maintenance purposes. In so doing, it undercuts the interests of the 
United States and, of course, our ally in the region, Israel.
  Today, Mahan Air is working to add more international airports to its 
flight patterns, including several in Europe. Given its links to 
terrorist activity, we have to consider the potential security risks to 
Americans who fly in and out of airports where Mahan operates.
  My amendment would require the Department of Homeland Security to 
compile and make public a list of airports where Mahan Air operates and 
would require the Department of Homeland Security to assess what added 
security measures should be imposed on those flights.
  I hope my colleagues would agree that this is a commonsense proposal, 
and I hope they will join me in supporting it.
  The second amendment I want to talk about involves a different kind 
of flight risk. This one is domestic instead of international. It 
addresses the development and the deployment of wind turbines and other 
structures surrounding our military installations, particularly where 
our pilots train and fly. Some of them are being built along flight 
routes in Wichita Falls, Corpus Christi, and elsewhere, both in Texas 
and in other States, such as New York.
  Currently, base commanders have no say and have no real opportunity 
to indicate the risks these wind farms, which are in close proximity to 
military training, pose to pilot training and other operations. 
Commanders are really in the best position to understand the nature of 
the training that needs to be done and to offer suggestions about how 
risks can be mitigated, if not eliminated entirely.
  My amendment would preserve the voices of the base commanders in the 
evaluation process. It would require those base commanders impacted by 
a proposed wind turbine project to weigh in explicitly regarding 
possible risks, including risks to our ability to train and make ready 
our pilots but also problems with radar and other ways that it is not 
only a danger to our military men and women but also to civilian 
aircraft as well. Clearly, base commanders have expertise and knowledge 
that must be considered during the proposed construction projects in 
close proximity to their installations. Their voices are vital.
  I hope our colleagues will join me in supporting this amendment and 
ensuring that our base commanders are always heard when it comes to 
security risks and threats to readiness.
  Finally, the third amendment I want to talk about is one that would 
grant tax-free status to U.S. troops deployed in the Sinai Peninsula in 
Egypt.
  Last year, with the House Homeland Security Committee, I had the 
chance to visit an international peacekeeping force comprised largely 
of American troops deployed to the Sinai. I can tell you from having 
spoken to them, our troops there play a strategic role in maintaining 
the peace in that critical region. Their work is often difficult, and 
it is always dangerous. The North Camp is located just 15 miles from 
the Gaza Strip. Troops there face mortars, rockets, and explosive 
attacks, and a number have been wounded during patrols.
  By granting our troops on the Sinai tax-free status, we can put them 
on equal footing with other American troops who are deployed in war 
zones like Afghanistan and Iraq and other similarly dangerous hot spots 
around the globe. All of them enjoy the same tax benefit when stationed 
in those combat zones, and what we would like to do is establish equal 
footing and parity for these Americans troops engaged in international 
peacekeeping missions there in the Sinai. Extending this measure of our 
appreciation will also serve to bolster morale, you can believe me.
  Colleagues, I hope you will join me in supporting these Sinai 
peacekeeping servicemembers, who put their lives on the line to keep 
the peace, by passing this measure.
  I hope that after an open amendment process, we will be able to get 
other commonsense amendments added to this legislation before we pass 
it next week.
  I know that Senator McCain, the chairman of the Armed Services 
Committee, always says we have never failed to pass a national defense 
authorization bill, and we shouldn't start this week or next. I hope we 
will pass the bill. I am glad to offer these three amendments and would 
welcome support from all of our colleagues.

  With that, I yield the floor.
  I suggest the absence of a quorum
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Sullivan). The clerk will call the roll.
  The senior assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. COONS. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. COONS. Mr. President, I would like to speak briefly about the 
amendment just voted upon by this Chamber, an amendment brought forward 
by Senator Paul.
  As my colleagues know, the Paul amendment would have repealed the 
2001 authorization for the use of military force, or so-called AUMF, 
which authorized military operations against al-Qaida and the Taliban. 
It would also repeal the 2002 AUMF, which authorized operations against 
Saddam Hussein and Iraq. These repeals would take effect 6 months after 
the adoption of the 2018 National Defense Authorization Act.
  Senators of both parties owe it to the men and women of our Armed 
Forces to debate in public the merits of continued conflict against 
ISIS, al-Qaida, and the Taliban in places such as Afghanistan, Iraq, 
and Syria, where the brave men and women who serve us and keep us safe 
are currently engaged in service to our Nation and our security.
  I am very sympathetic to my colleagues' concerns about the potential 
consequences of repealing the 2001 and 2002 authorizations. I don't 
want our troops fighting overseas to see our debate on this amendment 
as a lack of support for their vital mission. I don't want to see our 
enemies emboldened.
  I, however, chose to support the Paul amendment, but my commitment to 
our troops and my commitment to defeating our enemies is as strong as 
ever. This body can and must immediately get to work to craft a legal 
authorization relevant to our current conflict. That is why I supported 
the Paul amendment, which would have provided a 6-month window to allow 
Congress to demonstrate oversight, vigorous review of the status of our 
military operations around the world, and to pass a new authorization 
relevant to our current national security threats. In other words, it 
would have required Congress to do its job.
  Although the Paul amendment was tabled, I look forward to continuing 
to discuss this important and pressing issue with my colleagues on the 
Foreign Relations Committee, where it should more appropriately be 
debated, and bringing it forward for a final vote in this Chamber.
  If we are to do our job under the Constitution of the United States, 
we owe those who fight and serve and strive to keep us safe nothing 
less than clarity about Congress's willingness to do its job under the 
Constitution and our willingness to consent to the actions that are 
essential to keeping us safe.


                                  DACA

  Mr. President, debating and passing a new AUMF is not the only policy 
area in which Congress needs to get to work. Because of the difficult 
decision by the Trump administration to end the Deferred Action for 
Childhood Arrivals Program, or DACA Program, Congress has just 6 months 
to pass a legislative fix for the nearly 800,000 Dreamers in the United 
States today.
  Let me start by thanking many other colleagues who have already come 
to the floor to give a voice to our Nation's Dreamers. I am proud to 
stand with them and speak to this important issue today.
  Since 2012, the DACA Program has helped more than 750,000 Dreamers 
work, study, and contribute to our society free of the constant fear of 
being forced to leave the only home they have ever known. Many of these 
young men and women are our classmates, coworkers, colleagues, and 
folks who are just as American as any one of us because that is what it 
means to be an American, whether you have been here a month, a year, a 
decade or seven generations. Those who are willing to serve, to 
contribute, to engage in our society, to pay taxes, to play by the 
rules, we welcome as Americans. These are people who were brought to 
our country as children without authorization but through no fault of 
their own. In my view, they deserve the opportunity to demonstrate that 
they want to contribute to our community and our country and to come 
forward and live their lives out of the shadows and as proud Americans.
  DACA provided these Dreamers with that security, but the President's 
announcement to end the program has left them in a state of uncertainty 
and fear. I am eager and willing to work with my colleagues on both 
sides of the aisle to pass comprehensive immigration reform, but 
targeting this group of overwhelmingly hard-working and tax-paying 
Dreamers is not the way to fix our broken immigration system. In my 
view, it is, in some ways, a capitulation to the harshest, most 
nativist, anti-immigrant forces in our country.
  I believe Americans are strengthened by welcoming immigrants and 
refugees into our country. I believe this as someone who understands 
that immigration has strengthened our economy. I believe this because I 
know America was founded largely as a nation of immigrants and thrives 
because of its diversity, not in spite of it. I believe this as well 
because of my faith, which calls on all of us to welcome the stranger 
and the foreigner. Dreamers frankly aren't strangers at all. They are 
already our neighbors whose lives and freedom are now in jeopardy. We 
are talking about young men and women serving in our military, 
graduating near the top of their classes, working as doctors, teachers, 
engineers, and first responders.
  When we talk about Dreamers, I think it is important to talk about 
specific people, so allow me to share with you the stories of three 
young Dreamers in Delaware. First, we are talking about Estephany 
Martinez-Gonzalez, a current sophomore at Delaware State University who 
is studying criminal justice and plans to join our law enforcement 
community as a police officer. She was brought to Winder, GA, in 2003, 
when she was just 8 years old. She and her sisters today are all 
enrolled in college, and Estephany even earned a scholarship due to her 
high achievements in high school.
  When we talk about Dreamers, we are talking about Roman Guadarrama, a 
30-year-old Delawarean who has been in the United States since 1994. A 
young soccer star, he was being scouted for collegiate scholarships 
while in high school, but he never saw college as a possibility for him 
because he knew he was undocumented. In 2013, taking advantage of the 
opportunity offered by the previous administration, he stepped forward 
and enrolled in DACA, was able to obtain a driver's license and take 
classes at Del Tech College in my home State of Delaware. The DACA 
Program, he says, gave him a whole new outlook on his future and 
allowed him to finally pursue his dreams in the country he knows as 
home.
  When we talk about Dreamers, we are talking about people like Indira 
Islas, pictured here to my right. Indira came to the United States at 6 
years old, in 2004, with her parents and two younger sisters. Now a 
college student at Delaware State University, Indira has said:

       Home to me is Gainesville, Georgia. It always has been and 
     it always will be. It is home because I poured out my heart 
     into that town.

  She is studying in Delaware to become a pediatric oncologist, as her 
own parents once were, but fears that her family could be torn apart 
before she is able to fulfill her dream of treating children with 
cancer.
  Delaware alone, our small State--one of the smallest of the 50--is 
home to 1,400 Dreamers just like Estephany, Roman, and Indira. Without 
them, the United States would lose nearly $90 billion in GDP every 
single year. Let me say that again, without the Dreamers, studies 
suggest that we would lose tens of billions of dollars in American GDP 
every year. The economic impact would be significant in every State 
across the Nation because of the role Dreamers have played in our 
Nation's economic, social, and cultural fabric. Now, some States may be 
more remote and rural and have a smaller population of Dreamers; 
whereas, in others

[[Page 13957]]

they are very large, but across the country as a whole, it is 
undeniable they have contributed to our economy.
  Just listen to the American CEOs who came forward last week to voice 
their support for finding some legal path forward for these Dreamers. 
From the Koch brothers to Mark Zuckerberg, U.S. business leaders 
respect and appreciate the hard work, the contributions, and the 
potential of our immigrant brothers and sisters known as Dreamers.
  It is not just their economic contributions that moves me to speak 
this morning; Dreamers also help keep us safe. That is because 
approximately 900 men and women in the U.S. Armed Forces are able to 
participate in serving our Nation because of the DACA Program. Most of 
these individuals applied for the Military Accessions Vital to the 
National Interest, or MAVNI, pilot program which selects immigrants who 
possess vital skills for our national security to serve in the 
military. These very individuals include physicians, nurses, and those 
with skills in critical Middle Eastern and Asian languages like Arabic 
and Chinese. They are vital to the success of the U.S. military and to 
our national security. Should we have recruited them, trained them, 
supported them, deployed them, and now because of an abrupt change in 
national policy reject them and deport them? I think not.
  Dreamers like Indira are American. They grew up here, they have gone 
through a rigorous process to become a part of this program, and they 
want, from this point forward, to play by the rules and to succeed. I 
am calling on my colleagues in Congress to protect the lives of our 
Dreamers and pass the Dream Act. I am grateful to Senators Durbin and 
Graham for their bipartisan efforts to move this bill forward, and I am 
proud to join them in supporting this effort.
  We know we can't count on the administration at this point to protect 
the 800,000 Dreamers who know no home but the United States. As is 
appropriate, the job falls to us, to Congress, to take up this issue, 
to act, and to legislate. We cannot let them down.
  Thank you.
  I yield the floor.
  I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The senior assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. THUNE. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.


                               Tax Reform

  Mr. THUNE. Mr. President, last week I came down to the Senate floor 
to talk about the need for tax reform. One of the most important things 
we can do to help our economy and American families recover from years 
of economic stagnation under the previous administration is to reform 
our Tax Code.
  The Tax Code affects every aspect of our economy. It affects how much 
money you have left over to save or invest. It affects whether a new 
business can get off the ground. It affects whether an existing 
business might have the money to raise wages or to hire new employees. 
It is often the determining factor in whether American jobs go 
overseas.
  Right now our Tax Code isn't doing much to help anybody. It is 
increasingly strangling our economy, depressing job and wage growth and 
new business creation, pushing American jobs overseas, and is placing a 
heavy burden on working families who see far too much of their 
paychecks going to Washington, DC.
  That is why Republicans are making tax reform a priority this fall, 
and we are hoping the Democrats will join us. Last week I mentioned the 
five principles that will guide any Republican tax reform legislation. 
Any bill we pass will have to do these things: No. 1, result in 
increasing wage and economic growth; No. 2, provide tax relief for the 
middle class; No. 3, keep good-paying jobs here at home; No. 4, 
increase American competitiveness in the global economy; and, finally, 
it has to simplify the Tax Code.
  Last week I spent some time discussing the first principle, which is 
increasing wages, jobs, and economic growth. This week I would like to 
take a few minutes to focus on the second; that is, providing tax 
relief for the middle class.
  Hard-working Americans have had a hard time of it in recent years. 
Wage growth was almost nonexistent during the Obama administration. A 
recent survey found that 50 percent of people in this country consider 
themselves to be living paycheck to paycheck. Families who once looked 
forward to a secure future have found themselves wondering where the 
next mortgage or rent payment is coming from or if they will be able to 
afford to put anything toward their kids' college savings or toward 
their retirement. Fortunately, there are a lot of tax relief measures 
we can take that will help middle-income families, and any plan for 
relief has to start with lowering tax rates for the middle class. The 
Federal Government is simply taking too much money each month from 
working families.
  We need to fix that. American families can do a much better job 
spending their money than Washington bureaucrats. Any new tax bill 
needs to leave more money in Americans' wallets--money they can put 
toward their family's needs in paying for a child's braces or saving 
for college.
  Relief for American families starts with lowering the tax rate, but 
it doesn't end there. There are other things we can do to help hard-
working families. Closing loopholes and ending a variety of special 
interest tax breaks will boost our efforts to significantly lower 
rates. Also, simplifying family-focused provisions of the Tax Code will 
make them easier for families to access.
  We need to look at provisions like the earned-income tax credit and 
the child tax credit to make sure they are delivering the tax relief 
Congress intended and to look for ways to make them more efficient and 
effective.
  Education tax benefits are another example of an area in which tax 
reform can deliver for middle-income families. Currently, there are 
more than a dozen separate tax provisions relating to education, from 
the American opportunity tax credit to 529 savings accounts, and, of 
course, these provisions come with approximately 100 pages of IRS 
instructions, special forms, and schedules, not to mention the 
professional tax preparer whom too many families have to hire to figure 
it all out. We can certainly do a better job than that. Simplifying and 
possibly consolidating the education provisions of the Tax Code could 
allow more families to take advantage of these provisions, and it could 
significantly reduce the time families have to spend in trying to 
obtain these benefits.
  Another thing we can do is make sure the Tax Code encourages savings 
and investment. We will be taking a look at the tax treatment of 
retirement savings to ensure that it maximizes the ability of 
individuals to achieve secure retirements.
  Another thing we need to do is to finally do away with the 
alternative minimum tax. This tax, which was originally designed to hit 
the very wealthiest Americans, eventually ballooned to ensnare huge 
numbers of the middle class.
  While Congress has partially fixed this problem, too many families 
still have to waste time in calculating their taxes twice--once for 
their regular returns and once to see if they have to pay the 
alternative minimum tax. Imagine the frustration of having to do this 
extra calculation, only to find out that you do not owe the alternative 
minimum tax. But if you do not spend the time or hire a professional to 
figure it out and decide to take your chances, you will certainly hear 
about it from the IRS if you guess wrong, usually with penalties and 
interest.
  While Congress has acted to protect a lot of middle-income taxpayers, 
there are still middle-lass families who find themselves having to pay 
the alternative minimum tax. It is time to eliminate this tax, which 
has long outlived its original purpose.
  There are a lot of other things we can do to make the Tax Code better 
for middle-lass families, and throughout

[[Page 13958]]

this process, Republicans are going to make sure that hard-working 
Americans are at the forefront of our efforts. We know that American 
families do the best job of spending their own money, and any tax 
reform bill we pass will allow them to keep more of their hard-earned 
dollars.
  Mr. President, before I close, I would like to spend a couple of 
minutes talking about the National Defense Authorization Act, which we 
are considering here this week.
  Our military often got the short end of the stick during the Obama 
administration, and we have a lot of work to do in order to bring our 
military back up to full readiness and to modernize our resources. 
Recent events, from the increased aggression of the North Korean regime 
to the anniversary of September 11, remind us of the importance of 
making sure our military is ready to meet any threat.
  A key element of keeping the peace is in making sure we have the 
military strength to deter aggressors. Take North Korea. Our main focus 
needs to be on a diplomatic solution to the growing tensions in the 
region, but, as the President has made clear, the full strength of the 
U.S. military is and has to be at the ready to protect American 
interests and those of our allies. The Air Force has conducted show-of-
force exercises, which have featured B-1 bombers from South Dakota, to 
deter North Korean aggression.
  While we continue with our diplomatic efforts, we need to make sure 
we project the kind of overwhelming strength that would make North 
Korea think twice before trying to engage the United States. Needless 
to say, we also need to maintain robust capabilities on the defensive 
side. That is why I have submitted an amendment to the National Defense 
Authorization Act to require that we test our ground-based midcourse 
defense anti-ballistic missile system twice a year. Yes, tests may 
fail, but an increased test pace will lead to improvements and will 
ultimately ensure the reliability of our missile interception defenses.
  In addition to North Korea, we are still dealing with continued 
threats and instability in the Middle East. U.S.-led efforts against 
ISIS have had significant success on the ground, especially in Iraq, 
but ISIS's recruitment networks remain active and ever more dangerous, 
as evidenced by attacks in Europe. There are also still complex 
security challenges on the ground in Syria and Afghanistan, and we are 
continuing to deal with an Iran that has grown more defiant in the wake 
of President Obama's nuclear deal.
  On top of all of this, Russia and China continue to take advantage of 
regional instability to project power and challenge the United States 
and its allies. Russia continues to occupy Ukraine and challenge NATO, 
and it has propped up the Assad regime in Syria. Meanwhile, China is 
only halfheartedly working to keep North Korea in check, all the while 
expanding its presence in the Pacific by militarizing reefs in disputed 
waters and building up its forces.
  All of these threats underscore the importance of restoring our 
military readiness and modernizing our capabilities, and this year's 
National Defense Authorization Act takes significant steps toward 
achieving those goals.
  This bill sets policy and authorizes significant resources that will 
work to strengthen our military readiness. It includes critical funds 
for combat aircraft and munitions, new ships, and advanced technology 
development and next-generation capabilities to ensure that our 
military is the strongest fighting force in the world. It also includes 
critical funding to boost the end strength of the Army and the Marine 
Corps.
  This bill also authorizes a 2.1-percent across-the-board pay raise 
for the dedicated men and women of our military, and the bill contains 
a number of measures to improve the quality of life for soldiers and 
their families and Department of Defense civilian employees.
  This legislation also ends troubled and redundant programs and 
reduces unnecessary expenditures to ensure that taxpayer dollars are 
not being wasted and to free up funding for military priorities.
  I have introduced two other amendments to this bill to help further 
boost readiness.
  The first of these amendments seeks to optimize special use airspaces 
for our military pilots. My amendment would require a report on the 
management of special use airspaces and their use for training, with 
the goal of improving the coordination and utilization of these 
airspaces in order to meet current and future training needs.
  Additionally, so as to better position the United States to meet 
ever-changing cyber threats, I have introduced an amendment to 
establish a pilot program for a cyber ROTC. With the President's 
elevating CYBERCOM to a combatant command, it is essential that the 
Department of Defense establish additional pipelines to train more men 
and women in uniform in order to counter the mounting cyber attacks we 
are facing.
  I am grateful to Senator McCain and other Senators on the Armed 
Services Committee for their work on this bill. This bill is an 
important step forward in making sure our Nation is secure and capable 
of meeting and deterring threats.
  I yield the floor.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Missouri.
  Mr. BLUNT. Mr. President, I join my colleague Senator Thune in 
talking about the Defense Authorization Act, which is the bill that is 
before the Senate right now.
  The preamble to the Constitution says that one of the purposes of the 
founding of the government was to ``provide for the common defense.'' I 
believe that the No. 1 priority of the Federal Government is to do that 
job. There have been lots of arguments about what level of government 
can better do lots of other things, but I do not hear many arguments 
about what the job of defending the country is all about or who has to 
do that job.
  When we send our troops into harm's way, it is our job to ensure that 
they have the tools they need and that they have the resources they 
need to carry out their missions. That is what Chairman McCain has done 
in this authorization bill that is before the Senate today.
  Senate passage of this bill would mark the 56th year in a row that 
Congress has passed the National Defense Authorization Act. It should 
give one some indication of how serious that job is. There are very few 
things the Congress manages to do every year, but as for the 
authorization of how we do what we do, this authorization bill provides 
the authorities that the military needs for it to defend the Nation.
  The world is a rapidly changing place. Our responsibility to defend 
freedom in that world and the freedom of Americans is something that, 
every year, needs to be carefully looked at and recalculated and 
recalibrated, which is what Chairman McCain and his committee have done 
with this bill.
  I support the bill, and I want to talk about some of the key 
provisions in the bill.
  First of all, Senator Thune just mentioned a pay raise of 2.1 percent 
for our troops. It is a pay raise they rightfully deserve. It is a pay 
raise because of the demands on the military today--the time spent and 
what we expect our military to do with fewer resources and fewer 
people. We expect them to do a bigger job, and I want to talk about 
that a little later. A 2.1-percent pay raise is a pay raise that is 
richly deserved by those who defend us.
  The bill enhances the capability of our military to defeat ISIS, to 
defeat al-Qaida, and to defeat other enemies. Even though this is 16 
years after 9/11, we still have a hard time fully understanding the 
emerging threat of these enemies--the nontraditional threat, the 
nontraditional combatant. These are things we need to continue to look 
at carefully, to adjust to, to understand their prowess on social media 
and other places and to understand what could happen there.
  This bill focuses on terrorism, cyber warfare, and the proliferation 
of weapons of mass destruction and their means of delivery.
  By the way, on cyber, the Missouri National Guard has one of the 
leading

[[Page 13959]]

cyber defense units anywhere in the country. As I have said about this 
program before, this is a place at which the Reserves and National 
Guard can particularly do a great job because they go in and out of a 
different environment every day--going to work defending the utility 
grid, defending the financial grid--and know what those attacks are 
like as they step up and do their work as reservists or guardsmen.
  This bill ensures that our men and women in uniform have the 
equipment they need to succeed, including looking at the growing 
capacity of our enemies. We never want people who are defending us to 
be in a fair fight. We always want them to be in an unfair fight, and 
we want any advantage that could possibly be given to be on the side of 
those who defend our country and defend freedom.
  I am glad that this bill projects some of the vital things that 
happen in our State and, of course, in the Presiding Officer's State. 
Lots of things happen in Alaska, as they do in Missouri.
  This bill further advances the need to replace the national 
geospatial facility in St. Louis, where 30-plus percent of the people 
work who monitor our defense posture from the air. They are looking to 
see what is happening, when it is happening, and how it is happening. 
It is fully redundant with the facility in Springfield, VA. If one of 
those does not work for whatever reason, the other one becomes the 100-
percent provider of our geospatial activity that goes on all of the 
time.
  There is a new hospital at Fort Leonard Wood in this bill. It has 
been the No. 1 medical priority for the Defense Department for about a 
decade. This funds the first phase of the replacement of that facility.
  There is an Air National Guard training facility at Rosecrans in St. 
Joseph where our NATO allies go to learn. In recent times, 19 countries 
have come and learned the lift capacity--how to use those C-130s in the 
most effective and efficient way. That is recognized in this bill.
  The AVCRAD, which is the aviation repair facility in Springfield, MO, 
is where a $34 million investment would return $62 million in the first 
year. They are saving about $111 million at that facility every year 
now, but phase 3 in that facility would return $62 million the first 
year. I do not know that I have ever talked about a government 
investment before from which in the first 6 months you get all of the 
money back in a week or so.
  The bill also provides robust funding for A-10 maintenance. That A-10 
Reserve unit at Whiteman is where the Secretary of the Air Force just 
was, and when you are talking to troops on the ground, they would 
always like the A-10 in the air, supporting them on the ground.
  There is money here for Super Hornets to go on our aircraft carriers. 
It does not matter how many aircraft carriers you have if you do not 
have the planes to put on the aircraft carriers, and this bill 
recognizes that.
  Something that I have worked for for some time--and I know the 
Presiding Officer understands so well--is the Military Family Stability 
Act. It is in this bill, and it was in the Senate bill last year. It 
was not able to be in the final bill, but it will be in the final bill 
that the House and Senate pass this year, I am confident. The Secretary 
of Defense supports it; all of the Joint Chiefs support it; and our 
House colleagues have supported it. This is the bill that I filed with 
Senator Gillibrand about 3 years ago, which simply provides more 
flexibility for our military families.
  The strength of the military is in the military family structure. 
This allows the family to either move early or stay longer at these 
assignments. Normally, they are 2-year to 3-year assignments. Lots can 
happen in 2 or 3 years, but not everything else perfectly works out in 
2 or 3 years. So for employment reasons or for education reasons, if a 
family decides it is to their advantage to use the family support the 
military provides, with housing and other benefits, and they stay 
another 2 months to finish school, for a teaching contract to end, or 
for some other spouse activity to come to a reasonable conclusion or, 
frankly, to do just the opposite--to go to the new assignment that you 
know you already have, but to do that just a little bit earlier so that 
it works better for the family--to start school on time, to start a job 
on time, a job that just has to start when that job has to start--they 
can do that. As we have more dual-career families in the military, this 
is one of the things we can do.
  So this allows up to 6 months for the person in the service to 
determine where they would like their family benefit to be used, and 
then they become responsible for their own upkeep while they have 
either gone early or stayed late. But usually that is available. 
Bachelor officers' quarters are available at barracks on the base. 
Because of that, there is no cost to the Defense Department in doing 
the right thing.
  I want to thank Chairman McCain for the work he has done on this 
particular addition to the bill, as well as Samantha Clark on his 
staff, who has worked hard to see to it that this could be not only 
workable but easily understandable by the military. I also want to 
thank Congressman Joe Wilson and Congresswoman Susan Davis, who were 
key to including these provisions in the House National Defense 
Authorization Act. So families will see something--an opportunity here 
for them that they haven't seen in the past.
  This year's Defense authorization takes the steps necessary to 
rebuild our military, but we still have more work ahead of us.
  Sadly, this summer, we lost more than 40 servicemembers in accidents 
related to readiness challenges that are impacting the military. 
Sailors were killed aboard the USS Fitzgerald and the USS John S. 
McCain. Marines were killed after a C-130 aircraft crashed in 
Mississippi and an MV-22 Osprey crashed off the coast of Australia. 
Soldiers have been lost in helicopter accidents in Hawaii and Yemen.
  Just last week, Mackenzie Eaglen with AEI wrote: ``Troops are now 
more likely to die in `peacetime' incidents than active hostilities or 
combat.''
  That is absolutely and totally unacceptable.
  Total casualties in Afghanistan, for example, in 2015 were 22, in 
2016 were 14, and in 2017 were 11. They were all respected, and it is 
regrettable that those lives were lost. In those same years, the 
Department of the Navy lost 28 people, 22 people, and this year--not 
even over yet--43 people in accidents. We cannot let this continue.
  We have asked the military to do too much with too little for too 
long, and this bill addresses that.
  So there are numerous threats to our Nation, and it is critical that 
we not waste any more time in working to resolve our budget issues. We 
need to pass this legislation and come up with the appropriations that 
then support the authorizing bill and go back to the No. 1 priority of 
the Federal Government, which is to defend the country.
  I yield the floor.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from South Dakota.
  Mr. ROUNDS. Mr. President, as the Senate considers the National 
Defense Authorization Act, or the NDAA, I rise today to discuss a 
simple amendment in support of my constituents in South Dakota who are 
military retirees, as well as those in many other States who find 
themselves in a similar circumstance.
  These retirees may be disproportionately and unfairly impacted by 
increases in the TRICARE prescription drug copay increases that we find 
within the bill that we are considering today. Specifically, provisions 
in this bill will increase cost-sharing amounts for the TRICARE 
pharmacy benefits program for the years 2018 through the year 2026.
  Now, the rationale for the increases in the bill that we are 
considering today are that the savings generated from pharmaceutical 
cost-share increases can be used to improve healthcare outcomes and the 
experience of care for beneficiaries in the military health system, and 
I support that. I believe in improving the care for beneficiaries in 
the military health system. But in this particular case, the increased 
TRICARE pharmacy copays must be carefully considered to make

[[Page 13960]]

certain that they could not disproportionately impact one part of the 
beneficiary population.
  Unfortunately, that would be the case for South Dakota and for other 
largely rural States with large military retiree populations that live 
too far away from military treatment facilities to easily travel to 
these facilities and to make themselves available for the prescriptions 
that are available at those facilities. Instead, these military 
retirees and their families are compelled to use the TRICARE mail order 
system or the retail pharmacies in their local communities and, in both 
cases, they would have to pay higher copays. In other words, if you 
live close to the facility, you can go to the facility and receive 
those medicines, those pharmaceuticals. But if you are farther away and 
you have to use a retail shop in your own community or use mail order, 
you would be subject, under this bill, to a higher copay cost.
  For example, a copay for a generic drug ordered through the TRICARE 
mail order system will increase by $10 in fiscal year 2018. Now, while 
this does not seem like a lot of money, those costs can add up rapidly 
if a military retiree or his family is required to make multiple copays 
for multiple prescriptions. Simply put, our military retirees who live 
more than 40 miles away from a military treatment facility should not 
be unfairly forced to pay higher copays on prescription drugs just 
because of where they choose to live.
  Under my amendment, we would take a step back. The amendment would 
freeze copay increases for TRICARE retirees and their families who live 
more than 40 miles from a military treatment facility. Additionally, 
the amendment would require the Department of Defense to actually 
assess the financial impact of the higher copays on these 
beneficiaries.
  Now, the 40-mile figure that I have chosen was not done without some 
thought. I think we were careful in how we chose the 40-mile figure. 
Forty miles is the distance used by both the Department of Defense and 
the Department of Veterans Affairs as a boundary for reasonable access 
to a healthcare facility. The Department of Defense TRICARE Prime 
program, in which care is primarily delivered through a military 
treatment facility, is available to individuals who reside within prime 
service areas, or PSAs. PSAs are locations that are within 40 miles of 
a military treatment facility.
  Similarly, the VA Choice Program, which allows veterans access to 
healthcare in local communities rather than waiting for a VA 
appointment or traveling to a VA facility, is available to those whose 
residence is more than 40 miles driving distance from the closest VA 
medical facility.
  My amendment would also set a deadline of 60 days after the enactment 
of this legislation for the Department of Defense to report on the 
financial impact of the copay increases on military retirees and their 
families.
  With the information provided by the Department of Defense, Congress 
can then rationally assess the impact of the copay increases on 
beneficiaries who live distant from military treatment facilities and 
incorporate appropriate provisions in future legislation.
  I appreciate the opportunity to discuss my amendment, which would 
rectify this unintended effect to military retirees and their families 
who live in rural parts of our country.
  Thank you, Mr. President.
  I yield the floor.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Georgia.
  Mr. ISAKSON. Mr. President, I rise for two purposes--principally, to 
support this legislation and to thank Ranking Member Reed and Chairman 
McCain and the other Members of the Senate for the contributions they 
have made in the reauthorization of the National Defense Authorization 
Act.
  In particular, I want to thank our men and women in uniform, our 
command and control, our military intelligence, our weather systems in 
the military, for the tremendous aid they have provided to us in 
Georgia, to the people of Florida, the people of Alabama, the people of 
Texas, the people of Louisiana, and the people of Mississippi during 
two tragic hurricanes that have taken place in the last weeks. We think 
of our men and women in uniform every day for what they have sacrificed 
for us to defend our country and to keep us safe, but sometimes we 
forget all of the things they do to help us when we have times of 
trouble. If there were ever times of trouble, Hurricane Harvey in Texas 
and what happened in Florida with Hurricane Irma are certainly that. 
Some of those assets are based in my State of Georgia, like the search 
and rescue mission that works out of Moody Air Force Base in South 
Georgia, which has been invaluable in rescue efforts in the State of 
Florida.
  So as I come to support the NDAA reauthorization, I come also to pay 
tribute to our men and women in uniform for all they do for us in so 
many ways, not just to keep us safe but also in seeing to it that, in 
times of trouble, they are there for us.
  I want to thank my Governor, Nathan Deal, for the advanced planning 
they did to lead up to the recovery from the hurricane. In Georgia we 
lost three lives, which is tragic. We are sorry for each one, and our 
hearts go out to those families.
  Preparation by our leader, Nathan Deal, and others in the State saw 
to it that our reaction and our timeliness was excellent. I thank 
Governor Deal for doing that, as well as Georgia Emergency Management, 
in coordination with FEMA. Everywhere in Georgia where we had danger, 
we also had response for our people and for our State.
  I also want to talk for a second about something called JSTARS. 
JSTARS is an asset of our U.S. military and our intelligence agencies 
and a capability that is second to none in the world. JSTARS stands for 
Joint Surveillance and Target Attack Radar System, or JSTARS, and it is 
headquartered in Warner Robins, GA, at Robins Air Force Base.
  In particular, since the Gulf war and everything that has happened in 
the Middle East and ensued since then, it has been invaluable in 
command and control capabilities on the ground. It is an intelligence 
system that is unmatched by any other military of our adversaries in 
the world.
  We were informed a couple of years ago, when we started the effort to 
recapitalize the JSTARS, that there may be some movement to move away 
from JSTARS as a system to protect ourselves and have at our disposal 
for risk reconnaissance and recovery and battle management and battle 
control. I had a visit today, as a matter of fact, from the Secretary 
of the Air Force, Heather Wilson, a great lady and former Member of the 
House of Representatives, with whom I served, as well as an outstanding 
soldier and an outstanding person serving as the Secretary of the Air 
Force and part of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. She told me that the Air 
Force was looking at different ways that they might deploy 
recapitalization for JSTARS and other ways to deliver those services to 
our military personnel, which sends a signal to me that our JSTARS may 
be in trouble. The reasons for this are inexplicable when talking to 
anybody who is talking about doing it and inexplicable to me as an 
individual who knows that system well.
  Our country and our soldiers and our warfighters have benefited 
greatly on the ground and in the air from JSTARS surveillance 
capabilities. It is an aging system, but it is a great system. It is a 
system that has coordinated and delivered the coordinated messages that 
we can get nowhere else. I would submit that, if the Air Force were to 
decide that, rather than recapitalizing the existing JSTARS program, as 
we have been working toward over the last few years, they go to an 
alternative delivery system, it is probably giving up security for our 
country, intel for our men and women on the ground, battlefield 
coordination you cannot replace in any other way, and an asset that we 
have taken for granted for far too long in this country.
  So for Chairman McCain, whose service I appreciate, as well as his 
commitment to NDAA, I come to the floor to say I am with you and I will 
support you, but I want to make sure we do everything we can to ensure 
that the

[[Page 13961]]

JSTARS and the capabilities of that mission are recapitalized and are 
there for our soldiers in the future and our military in the future. 
For us to fail to do so, to my way of thinking, would be bad for our 
soldiers, bad for our security, and bad for our country.
  I thank Ranking Member Reed and Chairman McCain for the effort they 
have put into this. I thank members of the committee for all the 
efforts they have made.
  I thank our men and women in uniform. I am glad we got a pay raise. 
It is not as much as I would have liked to see, but I am glad we got 
one. I am glad we are making a bigger investment in our military, but 
no investment that we give in money can match the investment of spirit, 
capabilities, and commitment of the men and women of the Armed Forces 
of the United States of America. I commend them today, praise them for 
their effort, and tell them: I am with you all the way.
  I yield the floor.
  I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. WICKER. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
  Mr. WICKER. Mr. President, at some point during the course of this 
debate on the National Defense Authorization Act, the Senate may have 
an opportunity to vote on a McCain amendment authorizing a base 
realignment and closure round.
  As Members know, I have the utmost respect for the chairman of our 
committee, and I hold him in high regard. But I will certainly be 
voting against the McCain amendment because I do not believe 
authorizing a base realignment and closure round at this particular 
time is in the best interests of the United States or the security of 
Americans. I do that for two reasons.
  No. 1, whether you agree or not that base closings are a savings in 
the long run, almost everyone will agree that in the short term, a base 
closing round costs money. So it would be costly in the next fiscal 
year and in the fiscal year after that to have a base closing round. 
This is the very time when we don't need an additional expense, because 
we are dealing with the readiness problem we have in our various 
branches right now.
  As chairman of the Seapower Subcommittee, I can tell you that we have 
readiness problems with our fleet; we have readiness problems in the 
Marine Corps--those services in which I have a particular interest in 
my subcommittee. We need that money for readiness, and we need it in 
this fiscal year and in the next fiscal year. So for reasons of the 
short-term costs that BRAC would cause us to incur, I urge my 
colleagues to vote no on the McCain amendment.
  Further, it is my understanding that the wording of this particular 
amendment takes away the commission part of a base realignment and 
closure round. If you do believe we ought to move toward this concept--
which I do not believe we should do at this point--but if you do 
believe that, then we ought to at least have the independence that a 
commission gives to the process. It is the sort of process we have had 
time and again when we have had a BRAC round. It is what we had the 
last time the U.S. Congress faced a base realignment and closure round.
  So for those two reasons, I submit to my colleagues that a ``no'' 
vote is called for. This is something we may need to discuss in 2020. 
It may be something we need to do later on, and I will be open to 
suggestions about that. But when we have a readiness crisis facing U.S. 
security at this moment, this is no time to be taking money away from 
those immediate needs. For that reason, I will be voting no on the 
McCain amendment, and I urge my colleagues to do the same.
  I yield the floor.
  I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Ms. KLOBUCHAR. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
  Ms. KLOBUCHAR. Mr. President, I rise to discuss a very important 
amendment that has broad support. That is the Klobuchar-Graham 
amendment on election cyber security. It is an amendment that Senator 
Lindsey Graham and I are working to include in the National Defense 
Authorization Act. Senator McCain is supportive of this bill, and I 
understand why he is, and that is because he understands that our 
election infrastructure is a major part of our national security. If we 
can allow foreign countries to influence our elections, to hack into 
our local, State election equipment, then we do not have a secure 
America.
  As we know, recent reports show there were 21 different States in 
which Russians attempted to hack into their actual election software 
and their equipment. This is not the focus on fake news right now. This 
is not the focus on emails. This is a focus on actual attempts to hack 
into State election equipment. It is very straightforward, and that is 
why there is bipartisan support to pass this amendment to help States 
to simply strengthen their election equipment. This is not a partisan 
amendment. Some that come before this body are. As you will soon find 
out, this has broad support on the Republican side. I am asking my 
colleagues to help me pass it, to overcome the objections from one 
Senator.
  First of all, I would like to thank my colleagues Senator Lindsey 
Graham, Senator Kamala Harris, and Senator Lankford for their work on 
this important issue. Senators Harris and Lankford have been working 
with us, with Senator Graham and me, and I really appreciate their work 
on this issue.
  Senator Schumer mentioned this bill in his remarks yesterday. He said 
securing our election infrastructure is a top priority, and I am 
thankful he is a champion for this amendment. As I mentioned, Chairman 
McCain and Ranking Member Reed, who are the two top Senators on the 
Armed Services Committee--that should matter--I appreciate their work 
for our Nation's defense and their work on the NDAA and the fact that 
the legislation today includes an important provision championed by 
Senator McCain. That provision says it is the policy of the United 
States to defend against and respond to cyber threats to our democratic 
system, to our system of democracy.
  Senator McCain understands that election security is national 
security. They are forever intertwined. If the people of this country 
do not have the freedom to have their say in who should be elected--
Democrat, Republican, Independent--then we have a breach to our 
national security. That is why we have such broad support to simply 
authorize State grants so they can upgrade the security of their 
election equipment.
  I am here to fight for a vote, a simple up-or-down vote--which, yes, 
I am well aware this will pass--but a simple up-or-down vote, supported 
by this amendment, both Members who lead this committee. Our election 
systems have been under attack. They have been under attack, and it 
will happen again.
  If this body wants to sit here and pretend it didn't happen, pretend 
not to believe 17 intelligence agencies and everything else, that is up 
to them, but I am not going to go home and tell my constituents I 
didn't try everything I could to get this amendment included.
  According to the Department of Homeland Security, Russian hackers 
attempted to hack at least 21 States' election systems in 2016. Earlier 
this year, we also learned that Russia launched cyber attacks against a 
U.S. voting software company and the emails of more than 100 local 
election officials.
  Last month, the Chicago Board of Elections reported that names, 
addresses, birth dates, and other sensitive information from about 1.8 
million registered voters were exposed.

[[Page 13962]]

  U.S. national security officials have been sounding the alarms that 
our voting systems will continue to be a target in the future. The 
former Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper, recently 
testified that Russia will continue to interfere in our political 
system. As Senator Rubio noted, maybe one time it was one party and one 
candidate and the next time it will be another. This is what former 
Director James Clapper said:

       I believe Russia is now emboldened to continue such 
     activities in the future both here and around the world, and 
     to do so even more intensely. If there has ever been a 
     clarion call for vigilance and action against a threat to the 
     very foundation of our democratic political system, this 
     episode is it.

  Vigilance--that is what this is all about.
  In order to safeguard future elections, State and local officials 
must have the tools and resources they need to prevent hacks and 
safeguard election infrastructure from foreign interference. They don't 
need those resources in 2025, they need these resources now.
  The next Federal election is just 419 days away. No, we cannot wait 
another year to do this. We cannot wait 2 years to do this. We cannot 
see if some of our States that have less money and less resources are 
able to do this on their own. This is a national issue. Four hundred 
and nineteen days might sound like a lot of time to some people, but it 
isn't. It takes time for State and local election officials to come up 
with plans for their best practices, to shore up their cyber security, 
to buy new election equipment, to hire cyber experts to make sure their 
systems are secure.
  Do you want to go vote and not know if the Russians are hacking into 
your elections, into your data, and finding out your address and whom 
you voted for? I don't think so. Time is of the essence, if we want to 
improve election cyber security ahead of 2018 and 2020. That is why I 
am fighting so hard for a vote on this amendment. It is that simple. If 
we do not act now, we leave State election officials--the people on the 
frontlines of our democratic process--without the resources they need 
to combat cyber attacks. That is not just wrong, that is 
unconscionable, and it is against the very principles of our 
Constitution. We are supposed to be a government for the people, by the 
people, not by a foreign entity.
  In order to protect our election systems, we need to do three key 
things. First, we need to bring State and local election officials, 
cyber security experts, and national security personnel together to 
provide guidance to our States on how they can best protect themselves 
from cyber attacks.
  Just try to picture a local official in Deep River Falls, MN, or 
Lanesboro, MN. Are they supposed to have the most updated data on how 
they protect their elections and what they are supposed to do? No, they 
need guidance from the Federal Government. Those recommendations should 
be easily accessible so that every information officer and election 
official in the country can access them. Many State officials I have 
talked to feel as though they are in the dark about threats to our 
election system. That can't continue.
  We need our national security officials to be sharing information 
about the potential for attacks with State officials in real time. By 
the way, a lot of those States that were hacked into still don't know 
it. They still don't have the information. I was just talking to 
Senator Warner, ranking member of the Intelligence Committee, about 
this, and that information still is not out there as it should be. So 
this means creating a framework for information sharing that acts as an 
alarm system against cyber intruders. We put alarm systems in our homes 
but not on our election equipment. Our amendment would establish that 
alarm system.
  Second, the Federal Government must provide States with the resources 
to implement the best practices developed by States and cyber security 
experts. A meaningful effort to protect our election systems will 
require some resources. I think most Americans would agree with me when 
I say that protecting our democracy from foreign cyber attacks will be 
money well spent.
  Think about the money we put into our national defense. It is 
important. We want to have a strong defense. We want to have those 
aircraft carriers. Think about that and how important that is and how 
much money that costs, and then just think about these ballot boxes in 
local places where, literally, a foreign entity can just hack in--like 
that
  Finally, we need better auditing of our elections. That means voter-
verified paper ballot backup systems in every State. This is 
fundamental to protecting our elections and improving public confidence 
in the reliability of elections. Our amendment would accelerate the 
move to paper ballots--a backup--by providing States with the resources 
they need to get there. In short, our amendment would help States block 
cyber attacks, secure voter registration logs and voter data, upgrade 
election auditing procedures, and create secure and useful information 
sharing about threats.
  This is a bipartisan amendment. I keep saying that because so often 
this discussion of the elections has turned partisan on both sides. 
This is bipartisan. I am doing this with Senator Graham, and we are not 
alone. Senator Harris of California and Senator Lankford of Oklahoma 
are also pushing for the Senate to do its job and address election 
cyber security. Representative Meadows, the leader of the House Freedom 
Caucus, and Democratic Congressman Jim Langevin introduced companion 
legislation in the House--the leader of the Freedom Caucus. Why do you 
think they are interested in this bill that I am doing with Lindsey 
Graham? Because they believe in the idea that States should be able to 
have their own elections, and it shouldn't be federalized. They believe 
we should have safe and secure elections.
  There is strong bipartisan support for this effort outside the Halls 
of Congress as well. Dozens of former Republican national security 
officials are pushing for the Senate to pass this amendment. They have 
written op-eds, called their representatives, and worked to inform the 
public about the need to take action now. Michael Chertoff, who served 
as Secretary of Homeland Security under President George W. Bush, 
published a piece this month in the Wall Street Journal calling on 
Congress to take action. He noted that our amendment, the Klobuchar-
Graham amendment, would address the cyber security challenge in a way 
that is ``fiscally responsible, respectful of states' policy-making 
powers, and proactive in dealing with the most pressing 
vulnerabilities.''
  Bruce Fein, a former Reagan Department of Justice official said ``the 
amendment would enormously strengthen defenses against cyber-attacks 
that could compromise the integrity of elections in the United States 
and undermine legitimacy of government.''
  A bipartisan group of former national security officials sent a 
letter to Senate leadership pushing for a vote on this amendment. They 
noted that attacks on U.S. voting systems threaten the most basic 
underpinnings of American self-government. These attacks are growing in 
sophistication and scale.
  States administer elections. If you talk to a local election 
official--and I have done this throughout my State--you will find out 
they are adamant about protecting States' rights in this area. Guess 
what. No surprise--we have their support too. A bipartisan group of 10 
Secretaries of State sent a letter urging the Senate to pass this 
amendment. They want this amendment to pass because it would provide 
vital resources to States to support the growing security demands of 
our Nation's election infrastructure.
  The National Association of Counties, a group that unites America's 
3,069 counties--these are county governments big and small that serve 
people on the grassroots level, that know what it means to be having 
people sitting at those election booths, doing their job for little 
pay, just making sure that we have free American elections. They 
support this too. They need resources and cyber expertise, and they 
need them now.

[[Page 13963]]

  Our decentralized election system is both a strength and a weakness. 
It is a strength because we have multiple systems and all of our 
information isn't in one place. Right? So if there is a hack in Ohio, 
maybe you don't have a hack in Minnesota. If there is a hack in one 
State, one city, maybe you don't have it in another. But we don't want 
to have a hack anywhere.
  American elections are increasingly an easy target because, on the 
other hand, many local election systems are using election technology 
that is completely outdated. Forty-three States rely on electronic 
voting or tabulation systems that are at least 10 years old.
  Think about it. We want to have these decentralized elections. That 
is what we want, but we simply have to make sure that when citizens are 
voting in both State and Federal elections for Senator, for Governor, 
for their local mayor, for their school board, their State's election 
equipment is safe and secure. That is where we come in. We don't run 
their local elections. I think a lot of Americans wouldn't want us to 
run their local elections, but what we do is make sure that elections 
are safe because those hackers over there in Russia or wherever they 
are--the thousand people who were operating in that warehouse to try to 
influence our election--don't know jurisdictional boundaries. Right? 
They will commit crimes across State lines, across county lines, across 
Federal lines, across international lines. They don't care. So we have 
to allow our State and local elections and the people who run them to 
be as sophisticated as the Russians who are trying to break our backs. 
That is what this is about.
  The fact that we have so many security experts supporting this, so 
many local election people supporting this, and the fact that Senator 
McCain is more than happy to have this included in his bill because he 
sees it as a national security issue--how can one Senator stand up and 
say no to this amendment? That is what the American people should be 
asking. Local election officials are the place to start. They are 
passionate about keeping the Federal Government out of State elections, 
and they support our amendment because it strikes the balance that our 
Federal system demands when it comes to the administration of 
elections.
  Despite the strong bipartisan support for this amendment--again, I 
ask the people or person that is blocking this vote to allow this bill 
to go forward. I am simply outraged by this. I think this is an 
embarrassment to this body if we allow this to continue. Republican and 
Democratic Senators support this amendment. Cyber security experts 
support this amendment. Republican and Democratic major national 
security officials support this amendment. The Freedom Caucus supports 
this amendment. This is a bipartisan amendment in the House, so why is 
it being blocked? I actually can't tell you. It is not one of those 
things where someone says: Oh, it isn't worth putting millions of 
dollars into this. No, when you look at all the money we are spending 
on other forms of defense, this is dwarfed by that. No one can actually 
in good faith say that is the reason, and they are actually not saying 
that is the reason. They are giving me no reason.
  I think they need to come out and tell us why they are against 
securing our elections. I think the American people deserve an answer 
for that.
  The integrity of our election system is the cornerstone of our 
democracy. The freedom to choose our leaders, knowing with full 
confidence that those leaders were chosen in free and fair elections, 
is something that Americans have fought and died for since our country 
was founded. That is why our country came into existence. We didn't 
want to have another country control our citizens' economy. We didn't 
want them to control where they went to school. My relatives came over 
from Slovenia and other places because they wanted to be able to choose 
where their kids went to school. That is the freedom of voting, and 
that is what this amendment is about.
  Members standing in the way of this bipartisan amendment to protect 
our election infrastructure are literally committing malpractice on our 
Constitution. They will have to explain to the American people and to 
the Freedom Caucus and all the supporters we have across the aisle why 
they didn't just stand up, why they didn't just do something, why they 
stood idly by and ignored the warnings of our intelligence officials. 
Do you know what? They are not going to, next summer, be able to say: I 
guess I was wrong. I will do something now.
  It will be too late then. This is the time to authorize this and then 
to get the money in place by the end of the year. It is the only legal 
way we can do this.
  When it comes to our election infrastructure, we are only as strong 
as our weakest link. A threat to one county, to one city, to one 
State's election infrastructure is an assault on our entire system 
because it fundamentally threatens the very foundation of our political 
system. We must be a united front in fighting against those who 
interfere with our democracy, and we must do everything in our power to 
prevent foreign interference from ever happening again.
  In the 21st century, our adversaries will continue to use cyber 
warfare. Everyone knows that. Anyone who has had an account at a store 
hacked into, anyone who has had someone get into their account with 
spam or send them some fake address, a fake link--everyone knows this 
is happening. In the 21st century, our adversaries will use cyber 
warfare, and we need to be prepared to defend our networks against this 
growing threat to our democracy, especially the most fundamental part 
of our political system: our elections.
  Our attitude must be to roll up our sleeves to get this done. Whoever 
is blocking this bill better come forward and explain why because the 
American people are going to demand an answer now, but they are really 
going to demand an answer when things go bad.
  Thank you.
  I yield the floor.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Toomey). The Senator from Montana.


                           Western Wildfires

  Mr. TESTER. Mr. President, thank you for the opportunity to speak on 
the floor.
  The images and stories we have witnessed in the aftermath of 
Hurricanes Harvey and Irma are devastating. I want to thank every 
American and every Montanan who has pitched in, who has volunteered, 
who has donated to help the recovery efforts in Texas and Florida.
  I rise today to remind the country there is another devastating and 
ongoing natural disaster that is impacting thousands of families, 
costing taxpayers billions of dollars, and draining local economies. As 
the eyes of the Nation were on Florida this weekend--and rightfully 
so--Montana wildfires consumed another 150,000 acres.
  To date, we have seen over 1.1 million acres burned in Montana this 
summer. This is more than three times the 10-year average and nearly 
the size of the State of Delaware. The impact is widespread.
  The wildfires have burned farming and grazing land that is used to 
help feed this country and valuable timber that sustains good jobs in 
mills across the State. The 1.1 million acres we lost includes world-
class hunting, fishing, and hiking land, where families can escape and 
grandparents can take their grandkids to their favorite fishing hole. 
The fires have consumed favorite hiking trails and public access sites 
that help drive our outdoor economy in our State, which sustains over 
70,000 jobs a year in Montana alone. The smoke from these fires has put 
our health at risk--the health of our kids and our neighbors exposed to 
the smoke that covers the State of Montana.
  In addition to burning nearly 2,000 square miles, these fires are 
burning a hole in our budget. As of this morning, taxpayers have paid 
nearly $350 million to fight the wildfires of Montana alone. Across the 
West, that number is well over $2 billion. To make matters worse, the 
Forest Service is borrowing $300 million from other accounts to help 
fight wildfires. The Forest Service is forced to rob Peter to pay 
Paul--money

[[Page 13964]]

that should be used to prevent fire seasons, maintain and improve 
forest trails and roads, research and development for better forest 
management policies, and to fund the work that must get done to make 
our forests more resilient--I am talking about thinning, cutting, 
removing debris. The Forest Service is also spending money that should 
be used to mitigate wildfire risk to fight fire.
  Yes, you heard me correctly. We have again entered into a vicious 
cycle, where we take money from wildfire mitigation and the 
preparedness accounts in order to pay for the fighting of wildfires 
that exist today. Each year, we spend more money to fight wildfires, 
which leaves less money to prevent wildfires. Now, this is nothing new. 
Fire borrowing is a trend we have seen for the last 20 years. With each 
passing year, as fire seasons get longer and more intense, our fire 
borrowing practice leaves an entire agency with almost no budget 
certainty or flexibility to complete its core mission. Congress has 
already paid the Forest Service more than 300 million additional 
dollars to fight fire, but I think we are going to blow well past that 
number. That might be enough for Montana alone, but we also need to be 
able to help the firefighters in California, Montana, Oregon, 
Washington, Idaho, and across the West.
  In the meantime, forest management on the ground is hamstrung, and we 
have no long-term fix for this problem. As a result, we are investing 
less in active forest management, which then leaves our forests even 
more vulnerable to catastrophic wildfires. Frankly, the Forest Service 
is becoming a firefighting agency, not a forest management agency.
  When the fire season ends, our restorative work begins but only if 
there is money in the bank to do that restorative work. I am concerned 
that without immediate action from Congress, the Forest Service's 
hollowed-out budget will not provide adequate resources to restore 
streams and prepare for spring runoffs. If the Forest Service budget 
leaves Forest Service employees handcuffed this fall, our clean water, 
along with our blue-ribbon trout streams, will be put at risk, but that 
isn't all. The impact of this fire season has been felt far beyond our 
forests.
  This devastating fire season has undercut Montana's employees and put 
jobs at risk. I have heard from small business owners who have seen 
their bottom line slashed during this fire season. A bad fire launches 
a ripple effect in the region that results in empty booths at the 
family restaurants and vacant rooms at local motels.
  Wildfires have left our air quality so hazardous that school recesses 
have been canceled, high school football and soccer games have been 
moved hundreds of miles away, and folks wear breathing masks when they 
go pick up their mail.
  Farmers and ranchers have lost infrastructure to fire, and extreme 
drought transformed a very promising spring into an underwhelming 
harvest. These impacts are real, and unfortunately they are not 
temporary. Folks in Montana will be dealing with the impacts of this 
recordbreaking fire season for many months and, in some cases, many 
years to come.
  As Congress works again to get Florida and Texas the help they 
deserve, I am here to ensure that Montanans get the resources they need 
too. Here is what this Senate and Congress must do.
  The Forest Service must be fully reimbursed for every dime they 
remove from maintenance, mitigation, and restoration accounts to fight 
wildfires. To repeat, the Forest Service must be fully reimbursed for 
every dime that was removed from maintenance, mitigation, and 
restoration accounts to fight wildfires. Why? We cannot leave the 
Forest Service with a hollowed-out budget. It is critical they have the 
resources they need to help communities recover from catastrophic 
wildfires. The Forest Service must have the tools to go through a 
public process so we can cut more trees and remove the dead and dying 
debris that fueled these fires.
  Congress must pass legislation to end the broken way we fund 
wildfires so we can treat wildfire funding just like the natural 
disaster it is.
  The third thing is, every small business and family farm or ranch in 
Montana that has suffered loss related to wildfires must have urgent 
access to the available resources at the Small Business Administration 
and at the USDA. I have personally contacted the administration to 
ensure that resources remain available for Montanans because our needs 
don't end after the wildfires are put out.
  The fourth thing is, the Senate must fast-track legislation that 
provides local governments the additional resources and mitigation 
efforts they need to recover from these wildfires. I am working on a 
bill with other western Senators to ensure States like Montana and 
other States impacted by devastating wildfires have access to adequate 
recovery resources.
  Finally, after a month of recordbreaking hurricanes and historic 
drought and wildfires, it is long past time for the Senate to have an 
honest debate about climate change. Back home in Montana, we are in the 
middle of September and there are still 21 priority fires burning and 
there are still many Montanans who need help.
  So over the coming weeks and months, as we take steps to recover from 
other natural disasters around the country, we need to work together to 
not only help those in desperate need but also move forward with long-
term solutions, solutions that will help us deal with the catastrophes, 
whether it is floods, hurricanes, droughts, or wildfires. If we are 
able to work together and get that done, we will indeed have done our 
job in the U.S. Senate.
  I yield the floor.
  I suggest the absence of a quorum.

                               Healthcare

  Mr. BARRASSO. Mr. President, I think it is clear to people all across 
America that the U.S. healthcare system needs reform. Premiums for 
health insurance are going up by double digits across the country. 
People living in almost half of the country only have one company 
selling ObamaCare plans. Millions of people are struggling. They are 
struggling to get coverage they can afford so they can get the care 
they need. I will state that it is all because of the healthcare law 
that the Democrats wrote and passed in Congress and inflicted upon the 
American people, which raised the costs for people all across the 
country and limited their choices.
  Today the Senator from Vermont, Mr. Sanders, and other Democrats said 
they want to take this failing healthcare system even further. They 
call their plan ``Medicare for all.'' Don't be fooled. They want to 
take a plan that has government much more involved in the healthcare of 
the American people and go much further. I don't believe it is actually 
a serious plan to help fix the challenges we are facing in this 
country, but it is now the new litmus test for the liberal left. If 
this idea were ever to become law, it would mean worse care and it 
would be outrageously expensive.
  The plan the Democrats are talking about would amount to complete 
Washington control over the healthcare of every man, woman, and child 
in America, and taxpayers would have to pick up the tab.
  Supporters of putting the Federal Government in Washington, DC, in 
charge of personal healthcare decisions like to claim that this is the 
way that other countries do it as well. They like to cite as an example 
the United Kingdom. Well, a lot of people in the United Kingdom see 
their system of nationalized healthcare entering a death spiral, and it 
looks a lot like what has happened to ObamaCare.
  The waiting lines in England have recently gotten a lot longer for 
people

[[Page 13965]]

waiting to get care. They are actually setting new records for how long 
you have to wait in line to get care in England. For emergency care, 
they have more people waiting in line in the emergency room for 12 
hours or longer. Those numbers have gone up--12 hours or longer--and it 
has gotten worse.
  Let's say you have a chronic condition, a long-term medical 
condition. To start treatment for long-term medical conditions, the 
number of people having to wait 18 weeks or longer has gone up. If 
Democrats get their way, the American people will have the same kinds 
of delays. It is inevitable. The problem isn't just the delays. If 
Washington pays all of the bills, Washington will want much tighter 
control over care.
  The Democrats' new scheme will come with a much more powerful 
rationing board. You can see it coming. In England, the rationing of 
healthcare means that certain medications are not allowed. There are 
limits on things like knee and hip operations. The same thing is true 
in Canada. Medical boards in some parts of the country have banned 
surgeries for people who are obese or who are smokers. How do you think 
that would work in the United States? Close to 40 percent of Americans 
are now considered obese. Would they all be blocked from getting 
operations that would help improve their health and quality of life? It 
is only if the rationing board were to say so.
  The British have to ration healthcare partly because of the enormous 
cost of so-called free medical care. They also have a shortage of 
people who actually provide the care. Since 2016, there has been a net 
loss of more than 5,000 nurses and midwives across the British 
healthcare system. More than a quarter of the nurses who quit cited 
disillusionment over the quality of care provided to patients. Nurses 
are quitting because of the poor quality of care provided to patients. 
It is a great concern.
  The United Kingdom ranks 20th out of 24th among Western countries for 
breast cancer survival. For survival, the United States is first. If 
you are a woman with breast cancer or a man with prostate cancer, your 
chances of survival and successful treatment are much, much greater in 
the United States than they are in Great Britain. It is not that the 
doctors in this country are that much smarter. It is that people get 
care sooner. There are not all these long waiting lines. But that will 
happen if the plan endorsed by 15 Democrats in the Senate and the 
majority of the Democrats in the House were to ever become law.
  Let's talk about stroke. For the most common kind of stroke, the 
United Kingdom is 25th out of 30 countries in terms of recovery, 
solutions, and success. The United States is fourth.
  Of course, all of what the Democrats are proposing will not come 
cheap. Democrats in California had their own scheme earlier this year. 
When the group that looks at what the cost is going to be reviewed it--
and I was in the State senate in Wyoming, and in any key piece of 
legislation, we would have to do a fiscal note, which is what it is 
going to cost--in California what they proposed would cost about $400 
billion a year. So how much does the entire State of California pay to 
run the whole State over the course of a year? What is their budget for 
the year? It is less than half that amount. So what they are proposing 
on healthcare is double what they pay for everything that the State of 
California does.
  Last year, Senator Sanders gave a rough sketch of his plan as part of 
his Presidential campaign. It would have raised Washington's total 
healthcare expenditures by $32 trillion over just the first 10 years. 
To pay for it, he wanted to raise taxes, including higher payroll taxes 
on workers. The problem was that all of these new taxes would pay for 
less than half of the government's new spending. The legislation 
written and cosponsored by Democrats in the House says that it would be 
paid for by things like--and this is in their words--``a modest tax on 
unearned income'' and a ``small tax on stock and bond transactions.''
  Remember how President Obama promised that his healthcare law 
wouldn't raise taxes on middle-class families--in his words--by a 
single dime? It turns out that the law included dozens of taxes on 
American working families, certainly including middle-class Americans 
all across the country.
  Democrats say that total Washington control over healthcare would 
make things so efficient, that it would save a whole lot of money. Does 
anyone believe that is ever going to happen?
  A lot of people have the stress of dealing between their doctor and 
their insurance company, and there are a lot of problems out there. 
Nothing in the Democrats' takeover of healthcare changes any of that. 
It just means that the people will be caught in the middle between a 
fight with their government and a bunch of unaccountable bureaucrats in 
Washington, DC. How is that better? Where will we see savings from 
that? The Democrats have no real answers, just empty promises.
  You can tell that it is not a real plan because when Democrats had a 
chance to actually vote on this idea in the Senate, they took a pass. 
In July, the Senate voted on a bill written by House Democrats. We 
brought it to the floor of the Senate during the healthcare debate and 
put it up for a vote. As to the bill that half of the Democrats in the 
House had cosponsored, they said: Let's give the Senators an 
opportunity. Every Republican voted against it, and 43 Democrats voted 
present. Democrats had a chance to stand up and vote for the idea that 
they love to talk about, but not a single Senator voted for it, 
including Senator Sanders.
  Now some of us suspected that this was where the debate over 
ObamaCare was headed all along. The healthcare law, as passed years 
ago, was so obviously flawed that there was no way it would work the 
way the Democrats promised. You had to wonder if Democrats actually 
wanted it to fail so they could push for more Washington control, more 
government control over your healthcare.
  You can call it the old Potomac two-step. When we were debating 
ObamaCare in 2009, Senator Sanders came to the floor of the Senate and 
said that a full Washington takeover of healthcare was the way to go. 
Today he is taking his shot. The ObamaCare markets are in shambles. 
There is no denying that ObamaCare failed to keep its promises. The 
American people are paying a very steep price for the failures of the 
law.
  The promises that Democrats are making about their new healthcare 
scheme are even more outlandish. When it fails, the damage will be 
catastrophic. We cannot allow that to happen to the American people.
  Thank you, Mr. President.

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Michigan.
  Ms. STABENOW. Mr. President, the National Defense Authorization Act 
before us is more than just an important defense policy bill; it shows 
what we value as a nation.
  In Michigan, we value our freedom. We cherish the rights we enjoy as 
citizens of this great country. Above all, we honor those brave men and 
women who are willing to lay down their lives to protect our freedom 
and defend our rights.
  We also value our workers and our businesses. You put Michigan's 
workers and entrepreneurs on a level playing field, and they will out-
work, out-build, and out-imagine anybody anywhere.
  I am standing here today because within the NDAA is an important 
opportunity to not just meet the needs of

[[Page 13966]]

our national defense but also to help create good-paying American jobs 
in Michigan and across the country. It is true that we can't have a 
strong economy without a strong military, but it is also true that when 
we invest in businesses that are creating good-paying jobs here at 
home, we are improving our own security. I have seen evidence of this 
in Michigan.
  In 2015, I was honored to lead the first-ever instate Michigan 
delegation to tour all of our State's military installations. We 
started at Selfridge Air National Guard Base, which has just celebrated 
100 great years of service to our Nation. We then went to TACOM/TARDEC, 
which--both are the people on the front lines for our Army with 
research as well as making sure they have the vehicles and the supplies 
and everything they need to be able to do their jobs and protect us. We 
went to Camp Graying, Battle Creek, and Fort Custer. We saw firsthand 
how critical their work is, not just for our national defense but also 
to Michigan's economy and jobs.
  During the past 2 years, I have had the opportunity to visit over 120 
small businesses all around Michigan. That is a very inspiring thing to 
do--talking with people who put their own dollars and sweat and tears 
into creating a business, products and services they care deeply and 
passionately about.
  One of those visits really stood out to me--the connection between 
our defense and jobs. R.A. Miller Industries--RAMI for short--is a 
Grand Haven manufacturer of high-tech products for our military, 
including very high-tech antennas. Clear communication--the kind 
provided by RAMI's talented workforce--is critical to the success of 
military missions.
  RAMI's CEO told me that the Buy American Act--a law passed in 1933 
that gives priority to American companies when the Federal Government 
purchases goods--was no longer working. We checked into it, and it 
turns out that he was absolutely right.
  This is no small deal. The U.S. Federal Government is the single 
largest purchaser of goods and services in the world, spending some 
$450 billion annually on everything from file folders to fighter jets. 
``Buy American'' rules exist because we as a nation believe that when 
we invest taxpayer dollars to buy products, we ought to be supporting 
American companies that are creating good-paying American jobs. It is 
simple common sense, but over time, we seem to have lost some of that 
sense.
  Thanks to loopholes and waivers, American workers are missing out on 
a whole lot of jobs they could be doing, things they could be making. 
The biggest of these loopholes allows the Department of Defense to 
waive ``Buy American'' rules for products used overseas. Yes, the DOD 
uses a whole lot of products overseas. In fact, between 2001 and 2016, 
the Department of Defense spent more than $35 billion on over 150,000 
items--including motorcycles and radios and even airplane engines--that 
didn't meet ``Buy American'' rules. That is 150,000 motorcycles, 
radios, airplane engines, and more that could have been made by 
American companies like RAMI and by American workers in Michigan and 
across the country.
  That is not right. It is not smart. It makes no sense for American 
workers--certainly not for the people I represent in Michigan, where we 
know how to make a lot of different kinds of things very well--and it 
makes no sense for American taxpayers. That is why I am introducing 
three amendments to toughen up our ``Buy American'' requirements so 
that American workers and businesses come first, where they belong.
  The first amendment is simple. It would stop the overseas exemption 
in the Buy American Act and require the Department of Defense to 
prioritize products made in the United States. We know there are from 
time to time reasons why maybe we need a waiver, but we should not have 
this gigantic hole in ``Buy American'' provisions by having these 
overseas exemptions. In Michigan, our defense industry supports more 
than 105,000 jobs. It is only right that we should invest in American 
companies, not the competition.
  My second amendment would require the Government Accountability 
Office to review ``Buy American'' training practices so that contracts 
and personnel can better comply with current law.
  The third amendment would require the Department of Defense to work 
with the Manufacturing Extension Partnership, which I was pleased to 
help create years ago, to identify more small- and medium-sized 
manufacturers that can provide products that comply with ``Buy 
American'' standards.
  I know we have the businesses and the workers. We need to be paying 
attention to this and making it a priority.
  When a mom and dad in Saginaw sit down to do their taxes, I want them 
to know the hard-earned money they are spending for our national 
defense is creating jobs here at home--preferably in Michigan. At the 
same time, I want businesses and workers from Mackinaw City to Macomb 
County, Muskegon to Grand Marais, to have the opportunity to contribute 
to not just our economy but our national security.
  We all talk about how America's workers are the best in the world. It 
is time to prove that we mean it.
  The father of a former Member of this Chamber had a great way of 
saying this, and I would like to end by quoting him. This is former 
Vice President Joe Biden: ``My dad used to have an expression. Don't 
tell me what you value. Show me your budget, and I'll tell you what you 
value.''
  Unfortunately, loopholes like the overseas exemption suggest that we 
don't value American jobs, American workers, American businesses. They 
suggest that we think it is no big deal to buy products from a company 
in another country that can be made in Battle Creek, MI, or Detroit or 
Flint or Grand Rapids or anywhere across Michigan or anyplace in the 
country, for that matter. They suggest that we think it is fine to 
create jobs for workers in Munich when we have workers in Marquette, 
MI, who are just as talented, just as able, and just as ready--I would 
argue more so--to get to work to keep us safe.
  Michigan workers--American workers will out-work, out-build, and out-
imagine anyone. It is time to make sure that they are at the front of 
the line for good-paying jobs, that we are focused on making sure they 
have jobs, and that we are putting them to work.
  I am hopeful that colleagues on both sides of the aisle will support 
these amendments to move us a step forward in that direction.
  Mr. President, I yield the floor.
  I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The bill clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. DONNELLY. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Gardner). Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
  Mr. DONNELLY. Mr. President, I rise to discuss my legislation, which 
seeks to prevent American workers from losing their jobs and having 
them shipped to other countries.
  I have always fought to protect American workers and ensure we have 
Federal policies that benefit our workers in Indiana and across the 
country. In my home State of Indiana, our workers are being hit 
particularly hard by jobs being lost and shipped out of America. 
Recently, more than 300 workers at the Carrier plant in Indianapolis 
were laid off, and hundreds more are slated to lose their jobs just 
days before Christmas. They are not alone. Over 2,000 Hoosier jobs have 
been or are scheduled to be eliminated and outsourced at nine different 
companies.
  These are more than just statistics. These are moms and dads, sisters 
and brothers, husbands and wives, our friends, our neighbors, and folks 
we go to church with, men and women who get up in the dark and go home 
in the dark, working hard every single day to take care of their 
families, to give everything they have to try to make their company a 
success.

[[Page 13967]]

  These men and women, as I said, work hard every single day. They make 
quality products, they support their families, they pay their bills, 
and are working hard to save enough to retire with dignity, and now 
they are losing their jobs because those already highly profitable 
companies would rather squeeze out that last dollar in profits by 
paying less to foreign workers. I have met and spent time with Hoosier 
workers whose jobs are being outsourced. They are not looking for a 
handout. They just want an equal shot, a level playing field, and the 
opportunity to provide for their families.
  I met them on the Sunday after the announcements were initially made 
at Carrier. I spent time with them, talked to them. One of our young 
men in a military uniform of our country, standing up and serving our 
Nation, had just been laid off, with his job being shipped elsewhere. 
He and fellow workers have fulfilled their part of the American 
promise--a promise that if you work hard and you help your company 
succeed, you will be able to keep your job, you will earn a decent 
living, you will be able to put a roof over your family's head, and you 
can send your kids to school to have an even greater shot at the 
American dream than you and then retire with dignity.
  This is the basic promise of America--the promise of shared success 
of our workers and our companies. It is now in question. American 
companies need to live up to their part of the bargain as well, and 
many already do.
  As a U.S. Senator, I have a responsibility to working families, to 
taxpayers, and to our economy. It is critical our laws and policies 
encourage businesses to invest in American workers and American 
communities and penalize those who ship jobs to foreign countries. That 
is why, earlier this year, I introduced the End Outsourcing Act, which 
is based on three principles:
  First, Federal contracts, funded by taxpayers, should go to companies 
that employ American workers. This ensures that Federal contracting 
policy takes into consideration whether companies have outsourced 
domestic jobs.
  Second, companies that do send jobs to foreign countries should 
forfeit tax breaks and incentives. It is fundamentally unfair that when 
companies leave for a foreign country, they can then write off the 
moving costs involved and hand the bill to American taxpayers for their 
very costs of heading out the door. This legislation claws back 
incentives and prohibits companies from receiving tax breaks for 
outsourcing jobs.
  Third, Federal policy should encourage businesses to invest here at 
home, in our towns and in our cities--not only in Indiana but across 
the country. My legislation creates tax incentives for companies that 
relocate foreign jobs back to rural or struggling communities. We 
should encourage job growth in these towns and these places. When 
companies bring jobs back home, we should support them for helping spur 
economic investments and growth.
  I have spoken with President Trump about this several times, even as 
recently as last night, and he has been very supportive.
  Today I am offering a simple amendment--an amendment which would 
require companies bidding for Federal defense contracts to disclose in 
their proposals whether they have outsourced more than 50 jobs to a 
foreign country in the previous 3 years, and it would allow contracting 
officers to take into consideration a company's outsourcing practices 
when awarding Federal contracts--just like price, just like quality, 
just like delivery. It would be one more element so the people of 
America can get the very best deal.
  Put simply, our tax dollars should go to companies that invest in and 
support American workers. If we are going to effectively address the 
jobs going overseas, the jobs leaving our plants, the workers like the 
ones at Carrier who were laid off and the devastating impact on 
families across our country, we need to take action here. We can start 
with the Senate passing my amendment. Preventing the outsourcing of 
these jobs and investing in our workers should be a bipartisan 
priority. Protecting American jobs and encouraging businesses to invest 
in the United States shouldn't be any controversy at all. In fact, it 
should be easy.
  While there is no single solution to prevent companies from shipping 
jobs to foreign countries, hardworking taxpayers deserve to know our 
policies line up to promote the American economy and American workers, 
investing in our workers, strengthening our middle class. We call that 
Hoosier commonsense, and there is a lot more wisdom in Indiana and in 
other States than there is in Washington, DC. In Indiana, this makes 
sense.
  I urge my colleagues to support the End Outsourcing Act when it comes 
up for a vote.
  I yield the floor.
  I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The senior assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Ms. BALDWIN. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Ms. BALDWIN. Mr. President, I rise to speak about an amendment that I 
have submitted to restore ``Buy American'' standards that support our 
workers and our national defense. My amendment presents an opportunity 
to work across party lines to strengthen our national security and to 
support the hard-working men and women in Wisconsin and across the 
country.
  In fact, President Trump supports exactly what my amendment seeks to 
achieve. In addition, the Parliamentarians have confirmed that my 
amendment is germane postcloture. Given that the President agrees with 
me and the amendment is germane, I am calling on the Republican 
leadership to schedule an up-or-down vote on my amendment so that 
Senators have a chance to show their support for the workers who help 
keep America secure.
  Let me explain what my amendment would do. The National Defense 
Authorization Act would eliminate a number of important ``Buy 
American'' laws for certain critical defense components for Navy ships 
and other defense programs.
  My amendment, entitled the Supporting America's Defense Workers Act, 
would prevent the elimination of these critical ``Buy American'' 
protections, which give preference to American companies for government 
contracts funded with taxpayer dollars. It is a commonsense ``Buy 
American, Hire American'' policy that supports our domestic industrial 
base, our workers, and our national and economic security.
  Current law requires that certain critical components like valves, 
air circuit breakers, machine tools, anchor chains, propellers, 
passenger buses, chemical weapons antidotes, and photovoltaic devices 
be supplied by American companies or certain qualified companies 
located in closely allied countries, such as Canada.
  Section 863 of the Defense bill would enact a harmful sunset 
provision on these current requirements, eliminating them entirely at 
the end of fiscal year 2018 and consequently opening up taxpayer-funded 
defense contracts to unfairly subsidized foreign competition and 
placing American jobs at risk.
  Opening these procurements up to foreign sources would have the 
additional effect of undercutting American steel and iron producers 
because foreign manufacturers of these components do not use U.S.-
sourced raw materials. Section 863 would weaken these sectors of the 
U.S. defense industrial base and jeopardize the stability of companies 
located in States across this country and the manufacturers of those 
components. This would, in turn, harm our military's ability to rely on 
secure and stable sources of critical defense components in an 
increasingly dynamic global security environment. If domestic sources 
for critical defense components exit the market, our military could be 
forced into relying on countries that don't share our interests, 
including strategic adversaries like China or Russia, for parts and 
supplies.

[[Page 13968]]

  I want to emphasize that my amendment does not add any new 
requirements or preferences to defense acquisitions. Rather, it 
maintains the existing requirements that have worked for years to 
create a secure supply of critical parts for our Nation's defense.
  Again, to be clear, my amendment does not force the Department of 
Defense or the individual services to do anything that they are not 
already doing. Indeed, DOD and the services have complied with these 
requirements for years without complaint and without injury, and it is 
important to note that these domestic content requirements can be 
waived. They can be waived for cost; they can be waived for schedule or 
noncompetitive reasons. In other words, the government retains 
flexibility under these laws.
  Strengthening our defense industrial base should be a bipartisan 
issue. In fact, as I mentioned earlier, President Trump has said that 
he agrees with me. He registered his opposition to section 863 in his 
Statement of Administration Policy, which states: ``The Administration 
strongly objects to Section 863.''
  The Trump administration goes on to say:

       The existing procurement requirements act as a key 
     guarantor of strategic supply chain security. They protect 
     DOD's ability to reliably source goods such as chemical 
     weapons antidotes and components for naval vessels, among 
     others.

  Eroding ``Buy American'' requirements also runs counter to two 
Presidential initiatives--President Trump's Executive order directing 
the Pentagon to strengthen domestic manufacturing capabilities and his 
``Buy American and Hire American'' Executive order to better enforce 
current domestic content laws.
  I believe we must take steps to ensure that American products are 
prioritized when American tax dollars are being spent. Domestic 
preferences help our manufacturing sector and ensure that critical 
products meet our high standards. This is particularly important when 
we are talking about defense products used to ensure that our 
servicemembers are safe and effective.
  In sum, voting for my amendment means voting not only for the 
creation of well-paying American jobs but also for ensuring that the 
items used by our men and women in the military are of the highest 
quality and will continue to be available.
  This amendment is supported by the American Shipbuilding Suppliers 
Association and the Alliance for American Manufacturing.
  A strong defense industrial base means a strong and secure America. 
My amendment has the bipartisan support of President Trump, and I 
believe it deserves a vote and the support of all of my colleagues in 
the Senate.
  I yield the floor.
  I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The senior assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. BLUMENTHAL. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Lee). Without objection, it is so ordered.


                                  DACA

  Mr. BLUMENTHAL. Mr. President, we have seen the chaos and confusion 
created by the President's rescission of DACA that has created a 
humanitarian crisis in our country. That statement may seem like an 
exaggeration, but, for me, it is very clearly a statement of fact. I 
know it because I have seen it.
  I held an emergency field hearing on Monday morning, and I listened 
to the stories of Dreamers--young people brought to this country, many 
of them before they could even say their own names, let alone know 
where they were going. This country has given them education, a place 
to live, a sense of freedom, and a sense of future. That future now is 
cut short. They have been threatened with deportation in just 6 months. 
Their employers, their universities, their communities have no idea 
whether they can stay and continue their lives, productively and 
importantly to them and their communities, those workplaces and schools 
where they currently give back. They not only live and work here, but 
they give back.
  Maybe, most importantly, there is the promise that has been made to 
them--the promise that was made to them when they came forward and they 
provided the United States of America with information--some of the 
most personal information that exists--about their Social Security 
number, their birth date, their address, and their family. The promise 
to them was that information would never be used against them and that 
they had a place here for the time that DACA guaranteed it. That 
promise now is about to be broken.
  Great countries do not break promises. The United States is the 
greatest country in the history of the world. It should not be breaking 
promises to innocent young men and women who know only this country, 
speak only this language, have friends here alone, and actually 
families here. This rescission of DACA threatens to tear apart 
families, decimate lives, and create disarray and derailed futures. We 
are a country that is better than this rescission. We are and remain a 
country that keeps its promises.
  At our hearing, I heard from young men and women like Carolina 
Bortolleto, originally from Brazil, brought to the United States when 
she was 9. She has lived in Connecticut for 19 years. She knew she was 
undocumented, but what she didn't know was that getting a job after 
school, a driver's license, applying for scholarships and financial aid 
for colleges would be out of bounds for her.
  Seven years ago, she graduated from college with a degree in biology, 
but she was stuck. She had a diploma but couldn't use it. To fight for 
others like her, she cofounded CT Students for a DREAM. That 
organization has grown and become a formidable and powerful advocate 
for Dreamers.
  When DACA was adopted in 2012, it changed the lives of young people 
like Carolina. It opened a new vista. She could get a driver's license 
and a job at a nonprofit where she was volunteering. She testified that 
she finally felt free and independent. She could be the person she 
wanted to be and the person the United States wanted her to be because 
she was contributing to our great Nation.
  What we know of the Dreamers is that there are many like Carolina and 
like Alejandra. Alejandra Villamares was brought to the United States 
from Mexico at age 1. She and her family first settled in a small town 
in Colorado. She recounted in her testimony difficult memories of 
growing up undocumented. She remembers her older sister coming home 
from first grade crying because she had been bullied by other students. 
She was bullied because she couldn't speak English. Her teachers also 
couldn't understand or help. She remembers her mother's anguish and 
pain when she heard about this bullying. Alejandra later encountered 
the same problems as her sister did.
  When she was 11, her father was deported to Mexico. Her mother ran 
into the threat of financial problems, and the threat of deportation 
always lingered. She told us at this hearing about this life story, 
powerful and moving, but with a seemingly happy ending because she was 
able to go to Wesleyan, one of the best colleges in the country, and 
major in film studies with a certificate in international relations.
  President Trump has put a target on the backs of these young people. 
Alejandra's happy ending will be dashed. It will be a nightmare and a 
tragedy if this order truly goes into effect.
  President Trump has thrown this ticking timebomb into the lap of 
Congress. It has potential real effects on real lives like Alejandra's 
and Carolina's and 10,000 like them in Connecticut--800,000 around the 
country--people whom the President has described as incredible and 
terrific, people whom he said he loves.
  It would be the height of hypocrisy and inhumanity to deport them. It 
would be unprecedented in our history to have this kind of massive 
ejection from this country by plane, by boat, by car, by walking. It 
would be shameful and shocking for America to force this massive 
deportation, but it would also be an absolutely reprehensible and 
unforgivable violation of our promise,

[[Page 13969]]

breaking our word, and violating certainly morality, if not law, and 
there would be legal claims based on due process and other rights that 
could be violated.
  As I said, Carolina Bortolleto is originally from Brazil, but she was 
brought to the United States when she was 9. She has lived in 
Connecticut for 19 years. Growing up, she knew that she was 
undocumented, but she didn't know what that meant until high school, 
when she saw the opportunities that her classmates could have and that 
she couldn't--things like getting an after-school job, a driver's 
license, applying for scholarships and financial aid in college.
  Seven years ago, she graduated from college with a degree in biology, 
but she felt stuck. She had a diploma but couldn't use it. To fight for 
others like her, she cofounded Connecticut Students for a DREAM, which 
has grown into a formidable organization that advocates on behalf of 
immigrants.
  When DACA was enacted in 2012, it changed Carolina's life. She got a 
driver's license, a car, a job at a nonprofit where she had been 
volunteering. She told me that she finally felt free--that she finally 
felt independent. She told me that she could be the person that she had 
always wanted to be. Finally, she could plan for her future with 
certainty. Excited about what was to come, she went to graduate school 
for a Master's in Public Health.
  She was on cloud nine--until last week, when President Trump made the 
decision to rescind DACA, threatening to take away all that Carolina 
has worked for--if we don't act.
  In New Haven on Monday, I also heard from a girl who has requested 
that I don't mention her name here. She is from Canada. When she was 4 
years old, her mother passed away in a terrible car accident. She was 
brought here with her grandmother, a hard-working nurse, who later also 
passed away. She has had to endure unimaginable loss at such a young 
age.
  She was tremendously lucky that her aunt and uncle took her in as one 
of their own. She has grown into a leader at home who helps take care 
of her cousins, acting like a second mom to them. Her dream is to 
become a lawyer, and she works hard every single day toward that goal.
  If Congress doesn't act, this ambitious young girl--who has already 
endured so much pain and suffering in her life--will be torn from 
everyone she knows. The children she helps to take care of will lose a 
mother figure. America will be robbed of a bright new lawyer.
  I have heard some people treating Dreamers as bargaining chips in a 
political battle between the two parties. I have also heard that this 
is just about ``handouts'' for a particular group of people.
  That is simply not true. Let me tell you what I know: The Dreamers I 
have met represent some of the best of America--young men and women who 
have pulled themselves up by the bootstraps, eager to build bright 
futures, and prosper, and give back to the only country that they have 
called home. They want to stay here, and we need them.
  The statistics reinforce this point: If Congress doesn't pass the 
Dream Act, we will lose nearly $500 billion over 10 years. We will lose 
$25 billion in Medicare and Social Security taxes. In my home State 
alone, we stand to lose over $300 million a year.
  It is time to do away with the myth that the Dreamers work on the 
sidelines of American society. They are woven into the fabric of this 
Nation. They drive our economy.
  As I said, Alejandra Villamares was brought to the United States from 
Mexico at age 1. She and her family first settled into a small town in 
Colorado.
  Alejandra recounted difficult memories of growing up undocumented. 
She remembers her older sister coming home from the first grade, crying 
because she had been bullied by other students because she could not 
speak English. Her teachers did not understand her either and couldn't 
help. She remembers her mother's anguish at the pain and bullying her 
daughters endured. As Alejandra entered kindergarten, she began to go 
through the same struggle.
  When she was 11, her father was deported to Mexico. Her mother ran 
into financial problems. The threat of deportation was always lingering 
in the back of her mind. Things weren't looking good.
  And yet, she told me on Monday, ``I wanted this to be my country so 
badly. One thing I knew from the bottom of my heart was that I wanted 
to stay here, and that I was an American.''
  In 2012, when DACA came into effect, she got her chance. She earned 
admission to Wesleyan, one of the best colleges in Connecticut, and she 
followed her artistic passions by majoring in film studies with a 
certificate in international relations.
  She felt more empowered to speak up and help others. She held 
sessions for her peers at her high school to tell them about the 
college application process, and later became a program coordinator of 
an educational non-profit to mentor over 200 kids to navigate the 
college application process.
  President Trump is putting a target on the backs of Alejandra and 
others like her. They will be deported if we do not pass the Dream Act.
  In just a week, the President's decision has already sown confusion 
and chaos. There have been reports of ICE temporarily detaining DACA 
recipients, including reportedly 9 in Texas on Monday. Hurricanes 
Harvey and Irma have devastated Texas and Florida, but the White House 
has not announced any extension to the DACA renewal deadline.
  The administration has also been torn between two messages. The 
President has toed an apologetic line, telling Dreamers that they have 
``nothing to worry about'' and that he will ``revisit the issue'' if 
Congress doesn't act--and yet his Department of Homeland Security has 
said that Dreamers should prepare to leave. If Congress does not pass 
the Dream Act, Alejandra, Carolina, and others will be at the mercy of 
a fickle administration. Their lives will be thrown into chaos.
  In the stories of the Dreamers, I see my father, who fled Nazi 
Germany when he was 17 with little more than the clothes on his back. 
He didn't know anyone, and he didn't speak English. He still believed 
in the promise of this country. These Dreamers believe in the promise 
of America, too.
  The character of our Nation is at stake. We must act now.
  Mr. President, I am convinced these stories are evidence that will be 
persuasive and convincing to my colleagues and that we cannot shirk our 
responsibility. We have a public trust to make America worthy of the 
American dream, to make that dream a reality for these young people, to 
make sure the Dreamers are protected against this cruel and irrational 
action that has threatened them.
  We are the greatest Nation in the history of the world. We do keep 
our promises. We must enable the Dreamers to stay. We must pass the 
Dream Act, without encumbrances or poison pills or extraneous 
amendments. We must pass the Dream Act now.
  Thank you, Mr. President.
  I yield the floor.
  I suggest the absence of a quorum.

     SEC. 235. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON HYPERSONIC WEAPONS.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The United States has gained a thorough understanding 
     of hypersonic technology over the course of seven decades of 
     experimentation.
       (2) The requirements for technological breakthroughs in 
     hypersonics have largely been established, allowing pursuit 
     of hypersonic glide weapons without a prohibitive budget 
     effect.
       (3) The Department of Defense has several hypersonic 
     research and development efforts underway, including 
     conventional prompt global strike (CPS) weapons system, the 
     Hypersonic Air-Breathing Weapon Concept, and the Tactical 
     Boost Glide program.
       (4) In testimony before the Committee on Armed Services of 
     the Senate on April 4, 2017, the Commander of United States 
     Strategic Command, General John Hyten, identified the 
     conventional prompt global strike weapons system as the 
     ``leading technology maturation effort in the realm of 
     hypersonics'' and stated that his command sees ``an 
     operational need for a CPS capabilities by the mid-2020s.''.
       (5) Hypersonic weapons present a radical change in warfare, 
     because they can circumvent many of the challenges associated 
     with contested warfare and integrated air defenses.
       (6) Hypersonic weapons may provide solutions to difficult 
     problem sets, such as anti-access area denial schemes, deeply 
     buried or hardened target sets, and mobile high value target 
     sets.
       (7) Other countries are aggressively pursuing hypersonic 
     weapons at an alarming rate that threaten to outpace the 
     United States if the United States does not more aggressively 
     pursue development of hypersonic weapons.
       (8) The Air Force has a $10,000,000 requirement on the 
     Unfunded Priority List for hypersonic prototyping.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the Department of Defense should expedite testing, 
     evaluation, and acquisition of hypersonic weapon systems to 
     meet the stated needs of the warfighter;
       (2) testing of such weapon systems should include flight 
     testing, ground based testing, and underwater launch testing;
       (3) the Department of Defense should adhere to the 
     requirement in section 1688 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) 
     to proceed to a Milestone A decision on the conventional 
     prompt global strike weapons system not later than September 
     30, 2020, or the date that is 240 days after the successful 
     completion of intermediate range flight 2 of such system;
       (4) the United States cannot afford to lose its advantage 
     over foreign countries in developing hypersonic weapons; and
       (5) the Department of Defense should focus on the next 
     generation of weapon systems, including third offset 
     technologies, such as hypersonics.

     SEC. 344. ENVIRONMENTAL OVERSIGHT AND REMEDIATION AT RED HILL 
                   BULK FUEL STORAGE FACILITY.

       (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility located on 
     Oahu, Hawaii is a national strategic asset that--
       (A) supports combatant commander theater security 
     requirements;
       (B) supports contingency operations;
       (C) provides essential and timely support to the United 
     States and allies' military mobilizations and disaster 
     response efforts in the Indo-Asia-Pacific and around the 
     world; and
       (D) is routinely used to support normal transit of Navy and 
     Air Force movements in the region;
       (2) the facility in its current form cannot be replicated 
     anywhere else in the world;
       (3) moving the fuel to another storage facility in the 
     Indo-Asia-Pacific would have implications for the United 
     States military force structure in the State of Hawaii and 
     put at risk billions of dollars in annual economic activity 
     that the Armed Forces bring to the State of Hawaii;
       (4) if the facility were closed, the United States Armed 
     Forces would be unable to support the National Military 
     Strategy, including the goals of the United States Pacific 
     Commander, and national security interests would be 
     significantly undermined;
       (5) constant vigilance is required to ensure that facility 
     degradation and fuel leaks do not pose a threat to the people 
     of Hawaii, especially the drinking water on Oahu; and
       (6) despite its importance, the facility continues to face 
     long-term challenges without robust and consistent funding 
     that provides the Navy and the Defense Logistics Agency with 
     the resources needed to improve the tanks and associated 
     infrastructure.
       (b) Budget Submissions.--
       (1) Annual budget justification.--The Secretary of Defense, 
     in consultation with the Secretary of the Navy, shall ensure 
     that the budget justification materials submitted to Congress 
     in support of the Department of Defense budget for any fiscal 
     year (as submitted with the budget of the President under 
     section 1105(a) of title 31, United States Code) includes a 
     description of how the Department will use funds to support 
     any deliverables that the parties of the Administrative Order 
     on Consent/Statement of Work have identified as necessary to 
     mitigate and prevent fuel leaks at the Red Hill Bulk Fuel 
     Storage Facility on Oahu, Hawaii.
       (2) Future years defense budget.--The Secretary of Defense, 
     in consultation with the Secretary of the Navy, shall ensure 
     that each future-years defense program submitted to Congress 
     under section 221 of title 10, United States Code, describes 
     how the Department will use funds to support any deliverables 
     that the parties of the Administrative Order on Consent/
     Statement of Work have identified as necessary to mitigate 
     and prevent fuel leaks at the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage 
     Facility on Oahu, Hawaii, in the period covered by the 
     future-years defense program.
       (c) Administrative Order on Consent/Statement of Work 
     Defined.--In this section, the term ``Administrative Order on 
     Consent/Statement of Work'' means a legally enforceable 
     agreement between the United States Department of the Navy 
     (Navy), the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), the United States 
     Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region 9, and the 
     State of Hawaii Department of Health (DOH) that the parties 
     voluntarily entered into on September 28, 2015 [EPA DKT NO.

                   ON NATIONAL DEFENSE AND NATIONAL SECURITY.

       (a) Plan and Recommendations Required.--The Secretary of 
     Defense shall, in consultation with the Secretary of State 
     and the Secretary of Treasury, assess and develop a plan, and 
     recommendations for agencies of the United States Government 
     other than the Department of Defense, to improve the 
     effectiveness of interagency vetting of foreign investments 
     that could potentially impair both the national security of 
     the United States and the ability of the Department to defend 
     the nation, specifically investments from nations that pose 
     threats to the national security interests of the United 
     States.
       (b) Objectives.--The assessment, plan, and recommendations 
     required by subsection (a) shall have the following 
     objectives:
       (1) To increase collaboration and coordination among the 
     Department of Defense and other agencies of the United States 
     Government, including the Director of National Intelligence, 
     in the identification and prevention of foreign investments 
     that could potentially impair the national security of the 
     United States and the ability of the Department to defend the 
     nation.
       (2) To increase collaboration and cooperation among the 
     United States Government and governments of United States 
     allies and partners on investments described in paragraph

     emerging technologies that are foundational for maintaining 
     the United States technological advantage.
       (c) Analysis of Issues.--The plan and recommendations 
     required by subsection (a) shall be based upon the results of 
     an analysis of issues as follows:
       (1) Whether the current interagency vetting processes and 
     policies place adequate focus on the country of origin of 
     each transaction, particularly when it is a country of 
     special concern, and whether certain transactions emanating 
     from those countries should be presumed to pose certain risks 
     to the ability of the Department to defend the nation.
       (2) What are the current or projected major vulnerabilities 
     of the Department pertaining to foreign investment, including 
     in the areas of cybersecurity, reliance on foreign suppliers 
     in the supply chain for defense equipment, limitations on 
     access to certain materials that are essential for national 
     defense, and the use of transportation assets and other 
     critical infrastructure for training, mobilizing, and 
     deploying forces.
       (3) Whether the current interagency vetting process for 
     foreign investments--
       (A) requires additional resources in order to be effective;
       (B) permits the Department adequate time to thoroughly 
     review transactions to conduct national security threat 
     assessments and also determine the impacts of transactions on 
     national defense;
       (C) adequately takes into account risks to the ability of 
     the Department to defend the nation posed by transactions 
     before attempting to mitigate them in various ways; and
       (D) provides adequate monitoring and compliance of 
     agreements to mitigate such risks.
       (4) Whether other agencies of the United States Government, 
     including the Department of the Interior, are aware of the 
     counterintelligence risks posed to facilities of the 
     Department by purchases or leases of nearby Federal land and 
     are cooperative in providing information to permit a proper 
     assessment of those risks.
       (5) Whether and to what extent industrial espionage is 
     occurring against private United States companies to obtain 
     commercial secrets related to critical or foundational 
     technologies.
       (6) Whether and to what extent future foreign investments 
     have the potential for any of the following:
       (A) To increase the cost to the Department of acquiring or 
     maintaining necessary defense-related equipment and systems.
       (B) To reduce the United States technological and 
     industrial advantage relative to any country of special 
     concern.
       (C) To give any country of special concern a heightened 
     ability to conduct information warfare against the United 
     States, including through the spread false or misleading 
     information to the American public and the manipulation of 
     American public opinion on critical public policy issues.
       (7) Whether currently mandated annual reports to Congress 
     on the interagency vetting of foreign investments provide 
     valuable information.

     recommendations required by subsection (a) shall include the 
     following:
       (1) A list of countries of special concern for investments 
     that could potentially impair the ability of the Department 
     to defend the nation.
       (2) A description of recent trends in foreign investment 
     transactions by countries of special concern, including joint 
     ventures, the sale of assets pursuant to bankruptcy, and the 
     purchase or lease of real estate in proximity to military 
     installations.
       (3) A description of any strategies used by countries of 
     special concern to exploit vulnerabilities in existing 
     foreign investment vetting processes and regulations.
       (4) An assessment of any market distortion or unfair 
     competition by any country of special concern that directly 
     or indirectly impairs the national security or the United 
     States and the ability of the Department to defend the 
     nation.

                   THE AIR AND LAND DOMAINS.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) General Milley has stated that the Army would 
     experience ``High Military Risk'' against emerging threats or 
     great power conflict.
       (2) General Goldfein has stated that ``for 15 consecutive 
     years, the Army's been decisively committed to Iraq and 
     Afghanistan and other counter terrorist, counter insurgency 
     type operations. In order to do that, [the Air Force] 
     essentially came off of a core warfare fighting skills of 
     combined arms maneuver against a near peer or a higher end 
     threat''.
       (3) The United States has grown accustomed to technological 
     supremacy and weapons overmatch to deter and defeat potential 
     adversaries.
       (4) The Department of Defense conducts several large-scale, 
     joint exercises that stress interoperability in contested air 
     and sea domains, including the VALIANT SHIELD, NORTHERN EDGE, 
     and RIMPAC exercises, yet few large-scale, joint Army and Air 
     Force exercises exist to stress interoperability in contested 
     air and land domains.
       (5) Large-scale, joint training exercises that stress 
     interoperability across domains are a vital part of 
     establishing and maintaining military readiness for conflicts 
     involving near-peer competitors.
       (6) It is to the benefit of the United States and the North 
     Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) to train to contested air 
     and land operations in order to increase joint and coalition 
     readiness, as well as to correct capability gaps in the 
     European theatre of operations that may be discovered during 
     these exercises.
       (b) Report Required.--Not later than 180 days after the 
     date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of the 
     Defense shall submit to the congressional defense committees 
     a report on the following:
       (1) Existing large-scale, joint exercises involving the air 
     and land domains.
       (2) Plans to expand the scale and scope of the exercises 
     described in paragraph (1).
       (3) Plans to conduct new large-scale, joint exercises in 
     the domains referred to in paragraph (1).
       (c) Potential Locations for Expanded or New Exercises.--The 
     report under subsection (b) shall include an analysis of 
     potential locations for the expanded or new exercises covered 
     by the plans described in paragraphs (2) and (3) of that 
     subsection, with priority given to locations that facilitate 
     training by and with--
       (1) sufficient overlapping airspace and ground range 
     capabilities and capacity to meet the training requirements 
     for operating within an anti-access area denial (A2/AD) 
     environment for air and ground operations;
       (2) the ability to host bilateral and multilateral training 
     opportunities with international partners in both the air and 
     land domains;
       (3) limited encroachments that adversely impact training or

     SEC. 1216. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING THE AFGHAN SPECIAL 
                   IMMIGRANT VISA PROGRAM.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) The Armed Forces, the Department of State, the United 
     States Agency for International Development, and other 
     agencies and departments of the United States rely on the 
     services of Afghan nationals in a variety of sensitive and 
     trusted capacities to support the operations of the United 
     States Government in Afghanistan.
       (2) Afghans who have supported the United States Government 
     in Afghanistan face grave threats from the Taliban and other 
     terrorist groups as a result of their service.
       (3) Commander of the United States Central Command, General 
     Joseph L. Votel, warned in a June 14, 2017, letter that 
     ``curtailing or abandoning'' the special immigrant visa 
     program for Afghans carried out under the Afghan Allies 
     Protection Act of 2009 (8 U.S.C. 1101 note) ``would risk 
     significantly undermining years of progress and goodwill and 
     could serve to tip the balance in favor of malign actors''.
       (4) Commander of Resolute Support and United States Forces-
     Afghanistan, General John W. Nicholson Jr., warned in a June 
     12, 2017, letter that if such program ``is not fully

[[Page 14043]]

     resourced it could significantly undermine our credibility 
     and the 16 years of tremendous sacrifice by thousands of 
     Afghans on behalf of Americans and Coalition partners''.
       (5) All visas allocated for such program are projected to 
     be exhausted and all visa issuances for principal applicants 
     will cease in October 2017, if additional visas are not 
     authorized.
       (6) The cessation of the issuance of special immigrant 
     visas for Afghans is likely to cause panic among the Afghans 
     who are assisting the United States, often at great personal 
     risk, and could significantly affect the operations of the 
     United States Government in Afghanistan.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that an 
     additional 4,000 visas should be made available for principal 
     aliens who are eligible for special immigrant status under 
     the Afghan Allies Protection Act of 2009 (8 U.S.C. 1101 note) 
     to prevent harm to the operations of the United States 
     Government in Afghanistan.

                   SOCIAL MEDIA.

       (a) Annual Report Required.--Not later than March 31 each 
     year, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to the 
     congressional defense committees a report on attempts by the 
     Russian Federation, or any foreign person acting as an agent

     supported disinformation or propaganda, through social media 
     applications or related Internet-based means, to members of

     United States or advantage the Government of the Russian 
     Federation.
       (b) Form.--Each report under this section shall be 
     submitted in unclassified form, but may include a classified 
     annex.

     SEC. 1248. SUPPORT OF EUROPEAN DETERRENCE INITIATIVE TO DETER 
                   RUSSIAN AGGRESSION.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Military exercises, such as Exercise Nifty Nugget and 
     Exercise Reforger during the Cold War, have historically made 
     important contributions to testing operational concepts, 
     technologies, and leadership approaches; identifying limiting 
     factors in the execution of operational plans and appropriate 
     corrective action; and bolstering deterrence against 
     adversaries by demonstrating United States military 
     capabilities.
       (2) Military exercises with North Atlantic Treaty 
     Organization (NATO) allies enhance the interoperability and 
     strategic credibility of the alliance.
       (3) The increase in conventional, nuclear, and hybrid 
     threats by the Russian Federation against the security 
     interests of the United States and allies in Europe requires 
     substantial and sustained investment to improve United States 
     combat capability in Europe.
       (4) The decline of a permanent United States military 
     presence in Europe in recent years increases the likelihood 
     the United States will rely on being able to flow forces from 
     the continental United States to the European theater in the 
     event of a major contingency.
       (5) Senior military leaders, including the Commander of 
     United States Transportation Command, have warned that a 
     variety of increasingly advanced capabilities, especially the 
     proliferation of anti-access, area denial (A2/AD) 
     capabilities, have given adversaries of the United States the 
     ability to challenge the freedom of movement of the United 
     States military in all domains from force deployment to 
     employment to disrupt, delay, or deny operations.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that, 
     to enhance the European Deterrence Initiative and bolster 
     deterrence against Russian aggression, the United States, 
     together with North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies and 
     other European partners, should demonstrate its resolve and 
     ability to meet its commitments under Article V of the North 
     Atlantic Treaty through appropriate military exercises with 
     an emphasis on participation of United States forces based in 
     the continental United States and testing strategic and 
     operational logistics and transportation capabilities.
       (c) Report.--
       (1) In general.--Not later than March 1, 2018, the 
     Secretary of Defense shall submit to the congressional 
     defense committees a report setting forth the following:
       (A) An analysis of the challenges to the ability of the 
     United States to flow significant forces from the continental 
     United States to the European theater in the event of a major 
     contingency.
       (B) The plans of the Department of Defense, including the 
     conduct of military exercises, to address such challenges.
       (2) Form.--The report required by paragraph (1) shall be 
     submitted in unclassified form, but may include a classified 
     annex.

     SEC. 1249. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE EUROPEAN DETERRENCE 
                   INITIATIVE.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the European Deterrence Initiative will bolster efforts 
     to deter further Russian aggression by providing resources 
     to--
       (A) train and equip the military forces of North Atlantic 
     Treaty Organization (NATO) and non-North Atlantic Treaty 
     Organization partners in order to improve responsiveness, 
     expand expeditionary capability, and strengthen combat 
     effectiveness across the spectrum of security environments;
       (B) enhance the indications and warning, interoperability, 
     and logistics capabilities of Allied and partner military 
     forces to increase their ability to respond to external 
     aggression, defend sovereignty and territorial integrity, and 
     preserve regional stability;
       (C) improve the agility and flexibility of military forces 
     required to address threats across the full spectrum of 
     domains and effectively operate in a wide array of coalition 
     operations across diverse global environments from North 
     Africa and the Middle East to Eastern Europe and the Arctic; 
     and
       (D) mitigate potential gaps forming in the areas of 
     information warfare, Anti-Access Area Denial, and force 
     projection;
       (2) investments that support the security and stability of 
     Europe, and that assist European nations in further 
     developing their security capabilities, are in the long-term 
     vital national security interests of the United States; and
       (3) funds for such efforts should be authorized and 
     appropriated in the base budget of the Department of Defense 
     in order to ensure continued and planned funding to address 
     long-term stability in Europe, reassure the European allies 
     and partners of the United States, and deter further Russian 
     aggression.

     following new paragraph:
       ``(12) Treatment of wounded Ukraine soldiers in the United 
     States in medical treatment facilities through the 
     Secretarial Designee Program, and transportation, lodging, 
     meals, and other appropriate non-medical support in 
     connection with such treatment (including incidental expenses 
     in connection with such support).''.

     SEC. 1251. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE IMPORTANCE OF THE NORTH 
                   ATLANTIC TREATY ORGANIZATION INTELLIGENCE 
                   FUSION CENTER.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) 
     Intelligence Fusion Center provides a crucial contribution to 
     the North Atlantic Treaty Organization alliance and the 
     national security of the United States.
       (2) The fast-paced evolution of the security situation 
     throughout Europe and its periphery, as well as a marked 
     increase in conventional, nuclear, and hybrid threats from 
     the Russian Federation, require optimized efforts to track 
     and attribute critical threats to the security and stability 
     of Europe and United States national security interests.
       (3) The ability of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization 
     Intelligence Fusion Center to leverage strategic intelligence 
     partnerships with the United States and other allies 
     facilitates daily and direct collaboration that provides 
     operational advantages and efficiencies needed to ensure the 
     rapid and proper response by the North Atlantic Treaty 
     Organization to Russian aggression in the conventional, 
     nuclear, and hybrid domains.
       (4) The collocation of the North Atlantic Treaty 
     Organization Intelligence Fusion Center with the Joint 
     Intelligence Analysis Complex of the United States European 
     Command facilitates the sharing and fusion of intelligence, 
     contributes to filling intelligence gaps within both the 
     North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the United States 
     European Command, and supports a common intelligence picture 
     for the North Atlantic Council, which is essential to 
     establishing political consensus on evaluating, analyzing, 
     and attributing existing and emerging threats.
       (5) The North Atlantic Treaty Organization Intelligence 
     Fusion Center and its collocation with the Joint Intelligence 
     Analysis Complex contribute significantly to providing the 
     North Atlantic Treaty Organization alliance and the United 
     States European Command timely and effective indications and 
     warnings of threats emanating from within and around Europe.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     the collocation of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization 
     Intelligence Fusion Center with the Joint Intelligence 
     Analysis Complex of the United States European Command 
     provides the optimal solution to intelligence and operational 
     requirements, while fostering critical diplomatic 
     relationships, and is the most efficient configuration of the 
     intelligence enterprise.

     SEC. 1265. UNITED STATES POLICY WITH RESPECT TO FREEDOM OF 
                   NAVIGATION OPERATIONS AND OVERFLIGHT BEYOND THE 
                   TERRITORIAL SEAS.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Since the Declaration of Independence in 1776, which 
     was inspired in part as a response to a ``tyrant'' who 
     ``plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts'' and who wrote laws 
     ``for cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world'', 
     freedom of seas and promotion of international commerce have 
     been core security interests of the United States.
       (2) Article I, section 8 of the Constitution of the United 
     States establishes enumerated powers for Congress, which 
     include regulating commerce with foreign nations, punishing 
     piracies and felonies committed on the high seas and offenses 
     against the law of nations, and providing and maintaining a 
     Navy.
       (3) For centuries, the United States has maintained a 
     commitment to ensuring the right to freedom of navigation for 
     all law-abiding parties in every region of the world.
       (4) In support of international law, the longstanding 
     United States commitment to freedom of navigation and 
     ensuring the free access to sea lanes to promote global 
     commerce remains a core security interest of the United 
     States.
       (5) This is particularly true in areas of the world that 
     are critical transportation corridors and key routes for 
     global commerce, such as the South China Sea and the East 
     China Sea, through which a significant portion of global 
     commerce transits.
       (6) The consistent exercise of freedom of navigation 
     operations and overflights by United States naval and air 
     forces throughout the world plays a critical role in 
     safeguarding the freedom of the seas for all lawful nations, 
     supporting international law, and ensuring the continued safe 
     passage and promotion of global commerce and trade.
       (b) Declaration of Policy.--It is the policy of the United 
     States to fly, sail, and operate throughout the oceans, seas, 
     and airspace of the world wherever international law allows.

[[Page 14047]]

       (c) Implementation of Policy.--In furtherance of the policy 
     set forth in subsection (b), the Secretary of Defense shall--
       (1) plan and execute a robust series of routine and regular 
     naval presence missions and freedom of navigation operations 
     (FONOPs) throughout the world, including for critical 
     transportation corridors and key routes for global commerce;
       (2) execute, in such critical transportation corridors, 
     routine and regular naval presence missions and maritime 
     freedom of navigation operations throughout the year;
       (3) in addition to the operations executed pursuant to 
     paragraph (2), execute routine and regular maritime freedom 
     of navigation operations throughout the year, in accordance 
     with international law, including the use of expanded 
     military options and maneuvers beyond innocent passage; and
       (4) to the maximum extent practicable, execute freedom of 
     navigation operations pursuant to this subsection with 
     regional partner countries and allies of the United States.

     SEC. 1266. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE IMPORTANCE OF THE RULE OF 
                   LAW IN THE SOUTH CHINA SEA.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the South China Sea is a vitally important waterway for 
     global commerce and for regional security, with almost 30 
     percent of the maritime trade of the world transiting the 
     South China Sea annually;
       (2) the People's Republic of China is undermining regional 
     security and prosperity and challenging international rules 
     and norms by engaging in coercive activities and attempting 
     to limit lawful foreign operations in the South China Sea;
       (3) a tribunal determined ``that China had violated the 
     Philippines' sovereign rights in its exclusive economic zone 
     by (a) interfering with Philippine fishing and petroleum 
     exploration, (b) constructing artificial islands and (c) 
     failing to prevent Chinese fishermen from fishing in the 
     zone,'' and that ``Chinese law enforcement vessels had 
     unlawfully created a serious risk of collision when they 
     physically obstructed Philippine vessels'';
       (4) the arbitral tribunal award of July 2016 stated that 
     there is ``no legal basis for China to claim historic rights 
     to resources within the sea areas falling within the nine-
     dash line''; and
       (5) the United States should play a vital role in securing 
     the South China Sea and ensuring freedom of navigation and 
     overflight for all countries by undertaking freedom of 
     navigation operations on a regular and consistent basis, as 
     well as maintaining persistent presence operations in the 
     region.

     SEC. 1267. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE IMPORTANCE OF THE 
                   RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND 
                   JAPAN.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the United States and Japan are indispensable partners 
     in tackling global challenges, and have pledged significant 
     support for efforts to counter violent extremism (including 
     the threat of the Islamic State), combat the proliferation of 
     weapons of mass destruction, prevent piracy, and assist the 
     victims of conflict and disaster worldwide;
       (2) the security alliance between the United States and 
     Japan has evolved considerably over many decades and will 
     continue to transform as a partnership, sharing greater 
     responsibilities, dedicated to ensuring a secure and 
     prosperous Asia-Pacific region and world;
       (3) the alliance between the United States and Japan is 
     essential for ensuring maritime security and freedom of 
     navigation, commerce, and overflight in the waters of the 
     East China Sea;
       (4) Japan, a cornerstone of peace in the Asia-Pacific 
     region, stands as a strong partner of the United States in 
     efforts to uphold respect for the rule of law and to oppose 
     the use of coercion, intimidation, or force to change the 
     regional or global status quo, including in the East China 
     Sea and the South China Sea, which are among the busiest 
     waterways in the world;
       (5) the United States and Japan are committed to working 
     together towards a world in which the Democratic People's 
     Republic of Korea (DPRK) does not threaten global peace and 
     security with its weapons of mass destruction and illicit 
     activities, and in which it respects human rights and its 
     people can live in freedom;
       (6) the alliance between the United States and Japan should 
     be strengthened to maintain peace and stability in the Asia-
     Pacific region and beyond, to confront emerging challenges, 
     and to safeguard maritime security and ensure freedom of 
     navigation, commerce, and overflight in the East China Sea 
     and the South China Sea;
       (7) although the United States Government does not take a 
     position on sovereignty of the Senkaku Islands, the United 
     States acknowledges that the islands are under the 
     administration of Japan and opposes any unilateral actions 
     that would seek to undermine their administration by Japan; 
     and
       (8) the unilateral actions of a third party will not affect 
     the United States acknowledgment of the administration of 
     Japan over the Senkaku Islands, and the United States remains 
     committed under the Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security 
     with Japan to respond to any armed attack in the territories 
     under the administration of Japan.

     SEC. 1268. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE IMPORTANCE OF THE UNITED 
                   STATES ALLIANCE WITH THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The Government of North Korea has repeatedly violated 
     its commitments to the complete, verifiable, and irreversible 
     dismantlement of its nuclear weapons programs.
       (2) Based on its past actions, including the transfer of 
     sensitive nuclear and missile technology to state sponsors of 
     terrorism, North Korea poses a grave risk for the 
     proliferation of nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass 
     destruction.
       (3) North Korea has--
       (A) unilaterally withdrawn from the Korean War Armistice 
     Agreement, done at Panmunjom, Korea, July 27, 1953; and
       (B) committed provocations against South Korea--
       (i) by sinking the warship Cheonan and killing 46 of her 
     crew on March 26, 2010;
       (ii) by shelling Yeonpyeong Island and killing 4 South 
     Korea civilians on November 23, 2010; and
       (iii) by its involvement in the ``DarkSeoul'' cyberattacks 
     against the financial and communications interests of the 
     Republic of Korea on March 20, 2013.
       (4) North Korea maintains a system of brutal political 
     prison camps that contain as many as 200,000 men, women, and 
     children, who are--
       (A) kept in atrocious living conditions with insufficient 
     food, clothing, and medical care; and
       (B) under constant fear of rape, torture, or arbitrary 
     execution.
       (5) The Government of North Korea has provided technical 
     support and conducted destructive and coercive cyberattacks 
     including against Sony Pictures Entertainment and other 
     United States persons.
       (6) The conduct of the Government of North Korea poses an 
     imminent threat to--
       (A) the security of the United States and its allies;
       (B) the global economy;
       (C) the safety of members of the United States Armed 
     Forces;
       (D) the integrity of the global financial system;
       (E) the integrity of global nonproliferation programs; and
       (F) the people of North Korea.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that, 
     in order to achieve the peaceful disarmament of North Korea, 
     the United States should--
       (1) reaffirm the commitment of the United States to 
     defending our allies in the region, including through the 
     deployment of a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) 
     battery to the Republic of Korea, and the commitment to 
     provide extended deterrence, guaranteed by the full spectrum 
     of United States defense capabilities, including conventional 
     capabilities, missile defense, and the nuclear umbrella;
       (2) support ongoing efforts to strengthen the alliance 
     between the United States and the Republic of Korea alliance, 
     to protect the 28,500 members of the United States Armed 
     Forces stationed on the Korean Peninsula, and to defend the 
     alliance against any and all provocations committed by the 
     North Korea regime; and
       (3) support efforts to deepen trilateral coordination and 
     cooperation between the United States, the Republic of Korea, 
     and Japan, to address the grave and growing threat of the 
     ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons programs of North 
     Korea.

     SEC. 1269. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON EXTENDED DETERRENCE FOR THE 
                   KOREAN PENINSULA AND JAPAN.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the nuclear and missile program of North Korea is one 
     of the most dangerous national security threats facing the 
     United States today; and
       (2) given the threat posed by North Korea to our allies, 
     the Republic of Korea and Japan, the Nuclear Posture Review 
     that will occur this year should fully consider the 
     perspectives of key allies and partners of the United States 
     in East Asia, including the Republic of Korea and Japan.

     SEC. 1270. DEFENSE PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND 
                   TAIWAN.

     United States should strengthen and enhance its long-standing 
     partnership and strategic cooperation with Taiwan, and

     ``Six Assurances'' as both countries work toward mutual 
     security objectives, by--
       (1) conducting regular transfers of defense articles and 
     defense services necessary to enable Taiwan to secure common 
     interests and objectives with the United States, based solely 
     on the needs of Taiwan;

     capability consisting of a balance of fighters and mobile air 
     defense systems; and
       (3) inviting Taiwan to participate in multilateral training 
     activities hosted by the United States that increase the 
     credible deterrent capabilities of Taiwan.

       (1) Since World War II, the United States has sought 
     partnership and cooperation in establishing a rules-based 
     international order which has resulted in one of the most 
     prosperous periods of human history.

[[Page 14049]]

       (2) The United States is signatory to seven mutual defense 
     treaties with 56 different countries.
       (3) One of the United States defense alliances is the 29-
     nation-strong North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) which 
     is celebrating its 68th anniversary.
       (4) The United States has not faced a more diverse and 
     complex array of crises and threats, including the emergence 
     of competitors like Russia and China, increasingly unstable 
     threats from North Korea and Iran, and the continued threat 
     from transnational violent extremist groups like the Islamic 
     State and al-Qaeda.
       (5) The strain of a decreased military budget has decreased 
     capability at precisely the time when demand for United 
     States military strength has increased.
       (6) Fifteen years of continuous war has stymied military 
     modernization, focused training on asymmetrical warfare over 
     large-scale conflicts.
       (7) Secretary of Defense James Mattis stated that 
     ``alliances provide avenues for peace, fostering the 
     conditions for economic growth with countries that share the 
     same vision, while tempering the plans of those who would 
     attack other nations or try to impose their will over the 
     less powerful''.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the United States is an ally rich nation and our 
     potential competitors--such as Russia, China, and North 
     Korea--are ally poor;
       (2) United States allies and partners are critical to 
     defending peace and prosperity throughout the world;
       (3) the rules-based international order supported by the 
     United States and its allies has ensured--and will continue 
     to promote--an international system that benefits all 
     nations;
       (4) throughout the world, the United States will continue 
     to foster relationships with nations of like minds and 
     beliefs;
       (5) as the United States manages multiple strategic 
     challenges, our enduring strength remains in alliances such 
     as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization; and
       (6) the United States will continue to deepen alliances and 
     expand them, and will take no ally for granted.

     SEC. 1654. SENSE OF THE SENATE ON THE STATE OF UNITED STATES 
                   MISSILE DEFENSE.

       It is the sense of the Senate that--
       (1) the Secretary of Defense should use the Ballistic 
     Missile Defense Review (BMDR) to consider accelerating the 
     development of technologies that will increase the capacity, 
     capability, and reliability of the ground-based midcourse 
     defense element of the ballistic missile defense system;
       (2) upon completion of the Ballistic Missile Defense 
     Review, the Director of the Missile Defense Agency should, to 
     the extent practicable and with sound acquisition practices, 
     accelerate the development, testing, and fielding of such 
     capabilities as they are prioritized in the Ballistic Missile 
     Defense Review, including the redesigned kill vehicle, the 
     multi-object kill vehicle, the C3 booster, a space-based 
     sensor layer, boost phase sensor and kill technologies, and 
     additional ground-based interceptors; and
       (3) in order to achieve these objectives, and to avoid 
     post-production and post-deployment problems, it is essential 
     for the Department of Defense and the Missile Defense Agency 
     to follow a ``fly before you buy'' approach to adequately 
     test and assess the elements of the ballistic missile defense 
     system before final production decisions or operational 
     deployment.

     SEC. 1655. SENSE OF THE SENATE AND REPORT ON GROUND-BASED 
                   MIDCOURSE DEFENSE TESTING.

       (a) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that--
       (1) at a minimum, the Missile Defense Agency should 
     continue to flight test the ground-based midcourse defense 
     element at least once each fiscal year;
       (2) the Department of Defense should allocate increased 
     funding to homeland missile defense testing to ensure that 
     our defenses continue to evolve faster than the threats 
     against which they are postured to defend;
       (3) in order to rapidly innovate, develop, and field new 
     technologies, the Director of the Missile Defense Agency 
     should continue to focus testing campaigns on delivering 
     increased capabilities to the Armed Forces as quickly as 
     possible; and
       (4) the Director of the Missile Defense Agency should seek 
     to establish a more prudent balance between risk mitigation 
     and the more rapid testing pace needed to quickly develop and 
     deliver new capabilities to the Armed Forces.
       (b) Report to Congress.--
       (1) In general.--Not later than 90 days after the date of 
     the enactment of this Act, the Director of the Missile 
     Defense Agency shall submit to the congressional defense 
     committees a revised missile defense testing campaign plan 
     that accelerates the development and deployment of new 
     missile defense technologies.
       (2) Contents.--The report required by paragraph (1) shall 
     include the following:
       (A) A detailed analysis of the acceleration of each of 
     following programs:
       (i) Redesigned kill vehicle.
       (ii) Multi-object kill vehicle.
       (iii) Configuration-3 Booster.
       (iv) Lasers mounted on small unmanned aerial vehicles.
       (v) Space-based missile defense sensor architecture.
       (vi) Such additional technologies as the Director considers 
     appropriate.
       (B) A new deployment timeline for each of the programs in 
     listed in subparagraph (A) or a detailed description of why 
     the current timeline for deployment technologies under those 
     programs is most suitable.
       (C) An identification of any funding or policy restrictions 
     that would slow down the deployment of the technologies under 
     the programs listed in subparagraph (A).
       (D) A risk assessment of the potential cost-overruns and 
     deployment delays that may be encountered in the expedited 
     development process of the capabilities under paragraph (1).
       (c) Report on Funding Profile.--The Director shall include 
     with the budget justification materials submitted to Congress 
     in support of the budget of the Department of Defense for 
     fiscal year 2019 (as submitted with the budget of the 
     President under section 1105(a) of title 31, United States

       (a) In General.--The Secretary of Defense shall establish a 
     pilot program to assess the feasibility and advisability of 
     distributing royalties and other payments as described in 
     this section. Under the pilot program, except as provided in 
     subsections (b) and (d), any royalties or other payments 
     received by a Federal agency from the licensing and 
     assignment of inventions under agreements entered into by 
     Department of Defense laboratories, and from the licensing of 
     inventions of Department of Defense laboratories, shall be 
     retained by the laboratory which produced the invention and 
     shall be disposed of as follows:
       (1)(A) The laboratory director shall pay each year the 
     first $2,000, and thereafter at least 20 percent, of the 
     royalties or other payments, other than payments of patent 
     costs as delineated by a license or assignment agreement, to 
     the inventor or coinventors, if the inventor's or 
     coinventor's rights are directly assigned to the United 
     States.
       (B) A laboratory director may provide appropriate 
     incentives, from royalties or other payments, to laboratory 
     employees who are not an inventor of such inventions but who 
     substantially increased the technical value of the 
     inventions.
       (C) The laboratory shall retain the royalties and other 
     payments received from an invention until the laboratory 
     makes payments to employees of a laboratory under 
     subparagraph (A) or (B).
       (2) The balance of the royalties or other payments shall be 
     transferred by the agency to its laboratories, with the 
     majority share of the royalties or other payments from any 
     invention going to the laboratory where the invention 
     occurred. The royalties or other payments so transferred to 
     any laboratory may be used or obligated by that laboratory 
     during the fiscal year in which they are received or during 
     the 2 succeeding fiscal years--
       (A) to reward scientific, engineering, and technical 
     employees of the laboratory, including developers of 
     sensitive or classified technology, regardless of whether the 
     technology has commercial applications;
       (B) to further scientific exchange among the laboratories 
     of the agency;
       (C) for education and training of employees consistent with 
     the research and development missions and objectives of the 
     agency or laboratory, and for other activities that increase 
     the potential for transfer of the technology of the 
     laboratories of the agency;
       (D) for payment of expenses incidental to the 
     administration and licensing of intellectual property by the 
     agency or laboratory with respect to inventions made at that 
     laboratory, including the fees or other costs for the 
     services of other agencies, persons, or organizations for 
     intellectual property management and licensing services; or
       (E) for scientific research and development consistent with 
     the research and development missions and objectives of the 
     laboratory.
       (3) All royalties or other payments retained by the 
     laboratory after payments have been made pursuant to 
     paragraphs (1) and (2) that are unobligated and unexpended at 
     the end of the second fiscal year succeeding the fiscal year 
     in which the royalties and other payments were received shall 
     be paid into the Treasury of the United States.
       (b) Treatment of Payments to Employees.--
       (1) In general.--Any payment made to an employee under the 
     pilot program shall be in addition to the regular pay of the 
     employee and to any other awards made to the employee, and 
     shall not affect the entitlement of the employee to any 
     regular pay, annuity, or award to which the employee is 
     otherwise entitled or for which the employee is otherwise 
     eligible or limit the amount thereof. Any payment made to an 
     inventor as such shall continue after the inventor leaves the 
     laboratory.
       (2) Cumulative payments.--(A) Cumulative payments made 
     under the pilot program while the inventor is still employed 
     at the laboratory shall not exceed $500,000 per year to any 
     one person, unless the Secretary concerned (as defined in 
     section 101(a) of title 10, United States Code) approves a 
     larger award.
       (B) Cumulative payments made under the pilot program after 
     the inventor leaves the laboratory shall not exceed $150,000 
     per year to any one person, unless the head of the agency 
     approves a larger award (with the excess over $150,000 being 
     treated as an agency award to a former employee under section 
     4505 of title 5, United States Code).
       (c) Invention Management Services.--Under the pilot 
     program, a laboratory receiving royalties or other payments 
     as a result of invention management services performed for 
     another Federal agency or laboratory under section 207 of 
     title 35, United States Code, may retain such royalties or 
     payments to the extent required to offset payments to 
     inventors under subparagraph (A) of subsection (a)(1), costs 
     and expenses incurred under subparagraph (D) of subsection 
     (a)(2), and the cost of foreign patenting and maintenance for 
     any invention of the other agency. All royalties and other 
     payments remaining after offsetting the payments to 
     inventors, costs, and expenses described in the preceding 
     sentence shall be transferred to the agency for which the 
     services were performed, for distribution in accordance with 
     subsection (a)(2).
       (d) Certain Assignments.--Under the pilot program, if the 
     invention involved was one assigned to the laboratory--
       (1) by a contractor, grantee, or participant, or an 
     employee of a contractor, grantee, or participant, in an 
     agreement or other arrangement with the agency; or
       (2) by an employee of the agency who was not working in the 
     laboratory at the time the invention was made,
     the agency unit that was involved in such assignment shall be 
     considered to be a laboratory for purposes of this section.
       (e) Sunset.--The pilot program under this section shall 
     terminate 5 years after the date of the enactment of this 
     Act.

     SEC. 6213. SUPPORT OF EUROPEAN DETERRENCE INITIATIVE TO DETER 
                   RUSSIAN AGGRESSION.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Military exercises, such as Exercise Nifty Nugget and 
     Exercise Reforger during the Cold War, have historically made 
     important contributions to testing operational concepts, 
     technologies, and leadership approaches; identifying limiting 
     factors in the execution of operational plans and appropriate 
     corrective action; and bolstering deterrence against 
     adversaries by demonstrating United States military 
     capabilities.
       (2) Military exercises with North Atlantic Treaty 
     Organization (NATO) allies enhance the interoperability and 
     strategic credibility of the alliance.
       (3) The increase in conventional, nuclear, and hybrid 
     threats by the Russian Federation against the security 
     interests of the United States and allies in Europe requires 
     substantial and sustained investment to improve United States 
     combat capability in Europe.
       (4) The decline of a permanent United States military 
     presence in Europe in recent years increases the likelihood 
     the United States will rely on being able to flow forces from 
     the continental United States to the European theater in the 
     event of a major contingency.
       (5) Senior military leaders, including the Commander of 
     United States Transportation Command, have warned that a 
     variety of increasingly advanced capabilities, especially the 
     proliferation of anti-access, area denial (A2/AD) 
     capabilities, have given adversaries of the United States the 
     ability to challenge the freedom of movement of the United 
     States military in all domains from force deployment to 
     employment to disrupt, delay, or deny operations.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that, 
     to enhance the European Deterrence Initiative and bolster 
     deterrence against Russian aggression, the United States, 
     together with North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies and 
     other European partners, should demonstrate its resolve and 
     ability to meet its commitments under Article V of the North 
     Atlantic Treaty through appropriate military exercises with 
     an emphasis on participation of United States forces based in 
     the continental United States and testing strategic and 
     operational logistics and transportation capabilities.
       (c) Report.--
       (1) In general.--Not later than March 1, 2018, the 
     Secretary of Defense shall submit to the congressional 
     defense committees a report setting forth the following:
       (A) An analysis of the challenges to the ability of the 
     United States to flow significant forces from the continental 
     United States to the European theater in the event of a major 
     contingency.
       (B) The plans of the Department of Defense, including the 
     conduct of military exercises, to address such challenges.
       (2) Form.--The report required by paragraph (1) shall be 
     submitted in unclassified form, but may include a classified 
     annex.

     SEC. 6214. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE EUROPEAN DETERRENCE 
                   INITIATIVE.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the European Deterrence Initiative will bolster efforts 
     to deter further Russian aggression by providing resources 
     to--
       (A) train and equip the military forces of North Atlantic 
     Treaty Organization (NATO) and non-North Atlantic Treaty 
     Organization partners in order to improve responsiveness, 
     expand expeditionary capability, and strengthen combat 
     effectiveness across the spectrum of security environments;
       (B) enhance the indications and warning, interoperability, 
     and logistics capabilities of Allied and partner military 
     forces to increase their ability to respond to external 
     aggression, defend sovereignty and territorial integrity, and 
     preserve regional stability;
       (C) improve the agility and flexibility of military forces 
     required to address threats across the full spectrum of 
     domains and effectively operate in a wide array of coalition 
     operations across diverse global environments from North 
     Africa and the Middle East to Eastern Europe and the Arctic; 
     and
       (D) mitigate potential gaps forming in the areas of 
     information warfare, Anti-Access Area Denial, and force 
     projection;
       (2) investments that support the security and stability of 
     Europe, and that assist European nations in further 
     developing their security capabilities, are in the long-term 
     vital national security interests of the United States; and
       (3) funds for such efforts should be authorized and 
     appropriated in the base budget of the Department of Defense 
     in order to ensure continued and planned funding to address 
     long-term stability in Europe, reassure the European allies 
     and partners of the United States, and deter further Russian 
     aggression.

     described in paragraph (1), including a list of such reviews 
     and the estimated level of additional funding required to 
     conduct such reviews.
       (c) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board was 
     chartered by Congress with an important mission to provide 
     independent recommendations and advice to the President and 
     the Secretary of Energy to protect public health and employee 
     safety at defense nuclear facilities of the Department of 
     Energy;
       (2) the role of the Board has necessarily evolved as the 
     mission of the Department has changed over time, but the 
     Board will continue to be vitally important as the Department 
     continues major efforts to modernize the nuclear weapons 
     stockpile and update its infrastructure in the 21st century; 
     and
       (3) any significant change to the Board and its mission can 
     only be considered by the Board as a whole with oversight by 
     Congress and requires legislative changes approved by 
     Congress.

     SEC. 10302. SENSE ON CONGRESS ON THE SMALL TURBINE ENGINE 
                   INDUSTRIAL BASE.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The United States small turbine engine industry has 
     been innovating, developing, producing, and sustaining small 
     gas turbine engines in a competitive market for more than 75 
     years.
       (2) The United States small turbine engine industrial base 
     has made the United States the knowledge leader in low cost, 
     no maintenance engine designs with unmatched field 
     reliability.
       (3) The United States small turbine engine industrial base 
     is at a critical juncture, as military requirements have 
     tapered and missile programs, in misguided attempts to save 
     money, are narrowing production contracts to a single vendor 
     causing two of the three existing small turbine engine 
     manufacturers to go out of business.
       (4) The departure of these companies from the United States 
     small turbine engine industry will leave only one viable, 
     proven source for small turbine engines for the Department of 
     Defense.
       (5) In 2016, a number of engine failures were encountered 
     that severely diminished the throughput of the F107-WR-101 
     engine maintenance process for the AGM-86 Air Launched Cruise 
     Missile (ALCM), thereby putting the weapon system at major 
     readiness risk.
       (6) The narrowing of the United States small turbine engine 
     industrial base would leave the Department with a sole source 
     United States supplier resulting in a loss of manufacturing 
     and testing capability that would be extremely detrimental to 
     both the United States industrial base and national security 
     by creating a single point of failure, increasing engine 
     procurement and testing prices by eliminating competition, 
     raising new engine development and air vehicle program risk, 
     and eliminating capabilities and expertise that would require 
     decades and millions of dollars to reconstitute.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that the Department of Defense should--
       (1) allocate sufficient funding to properly sustain the 
     F107 turbine engine in order to ensure this vital weapon is 
     viable until a replacement is fielded; and
       (2) contract with multiple, capable engine manufacturers to 
     stabilize and revitalize the United States small turbine 
     engine industrial base.

       (iii) private landowners and other stakeholders; or
       (E) improve the coordination of large force exercises, 
     including the use of waivers or other exceptional measures.
       (2) An assessment of whether the capacity of ranges, 
     including limitations on flight operations, is adequate to 
     meet current and future training needs.
       (3) An assessment of whether the establishment of a 
     dedicated squadron for the purpose of coordinating the use of 
     a special use airspace at the installation located in that 
     airspace would improve the achievement of the objectives 
     described in subparagraphs (A) through (E) of paragraph (1).
       (4) Recommendations for improving the management and 
     utilization of special use airspace to meet the objectives 
     described in subparagraphs (A) through (E) of paragraph (1) 
     and to address any gaps in capacity identified under

     18 years of age, whether or not that abuse is accompanied by 
     other actionable wrongdoing, such as sexual exploitation or 
     gross negligence.
       ``(6) If the Secretary concerned is served with more than 
     one court order with respect to the retired pay of a member, 
     the disposable retired pay of the member shall be available 
     to satisfy such court orders on a first-come, first-served 
     basis, subject to the order of precedence specified in 
     paragraph (2), with any such process being satisfied out of 
     such monies as remain after the satisfaction of all such

     shall be used by the Air Force and the National Guard to take 
     actions to mitigate identified sources of polyfluoroalkyl 
     substances at sites as a result of surveys conducted by the 
     Armed Forces so as to restore public confidence in potable 
     water which may be affected in such sites.
  Mr. McCAIN. Mr. President, I again thank my friend and colleague, 
Senator Jack Reed, for the continued cooperation which has 
characterized our work together.
  First, I wish to say that this modification to the substitution 
amendment that I am offering, with the agreement and support of Senator 
Reed, includes 48 amendments from both Republicans and Democrats that 
will help improve this legislation. The modification submitted this 
morning included 56 amendments, also evenly divided between Republicans 
and Democrats. I want to emphasize that these amendments which were 
just included are the result of bipartisan agreement on both sides. 
They would not have been proposed if they hadn't already been agreed 
to.
  This means that now we have incorporated 104 bipartisan amendments in 
this legislation. The amendments have the support of both Republicans 
and Democrats in strengthening this legislation, making the NDAA more 
reflective of the voices and opinions of all Members of the Senate. So 
I thank all of my colleagues on both sides of the aisle for allowing 
us--helping us come up with these amendments which tremendously improve 
the underlying legislation.
  But I must say that we are at an impasse on about four amendments, 
all four of which are very important amendments, and we simply can't 
get agreement, which will probably call for the majority leader to file 
cloture.

[[Page 14171]]

  I really wish we weren't filing cloture. I wish we were treating 
amendments the way we treated the Chair's amendment earlier today. 
Every Senator should have the right to speak and to vote on any issue 
that comes before this body, and that includes amendments.
  Unfortunately, the majority leader will have to file cloture, we will 
go through a period of time, and then we will move forward with the 
bill, which, in my view, could be finished tomorrow.
  The bad news is that not every Senator is able to be heard and able 
to file amendments--second-degree, whatever it is. They are going to be 
shut out by the cloture procedure. That is not right. It is not right. 
Every one of these 100 Senators should be able to vote, to amend, and 
to debate. That is what the Senate is supposed to be all about.
  There are four basic amendments, and I won't describe them, but I 
hope that overnight my colleagues on both sides can sit down and figure 
out, as we have on a number of amendments, a way that we can reach a 
point where we can have up-or-down votes on these amendments, which are 
important to the Nation, particularly when we are talking about the 
National Defense Authorization Act.
  So I again thank the Senator from Rhode Island, my partner. I thank 
him for all the work he is doing and ask him if he has any suggestions 
or ideas.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Rhode Island.
  Mr. REED. Mr. President, first, let me once again commend the 
chairman for working collaboratively and cooperatively to include in 
this legislation over 100 amendments that have improved a very good 
piece of legislation. It also represents the input of the vast majority 
of our colleagues in the Senate. But I think, too, that we should have 
opportunities to debate and vote, which was typical in previous 
considerations of the National Defense Authorization Act. We are still 
considering the possibility of such votes, and I hope we can reach an 
appropriate conclusion to have votes and debates. But to this point, 
again, let me thank the chairman for his leadership and take his wise 
advice to think seriously about how we proceed forward with this 
legislation.
  Mr. President, I yield back.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Arizona.
  Mr. McCAIN. Mr. President, I thank my friend from Rhode Island, and I 
thank him for the relationship we have developed over the years.
  Here is the deal: We have basically four amendments--which are 
important amendments, and I don't mean in any way to denigrate their 
importance--that are forcing us to go to a mode where there will be no 
other amendments voted on. By failing to reach an agreement, we are 
shutting out our colleagues on both sides of the aisle and preventing 
them from having their amendments considered. That is why cloture is 
not a good thing. Cloture should be an act of desperation, and we 
should not be shutting out debate or amendments by any Member of the 
Senate.
  I have talked a lot about the need to work on a bipartisan basis. I 
have talked a lot--let's do the regular order, committee markups, 
debate, legislation to the floor, debate, amendments, and then sent to 
the President of the United States. I believe we can still do that. I 
believe the progress we have made on this bill indicates that. But I 
hope my colleagues think about the fact that we ought to be able to 
decide, as we have on numerous aspects of this bill on a bipartisan 
basis, either to agree or to have those amendments debated and voted 
on. What we do when we invoke cloture is we silence Senators. That is 
not the way our Founding Fathers envisioned the Senate would function.
  But I also would like to say that there are 104 amendments that we 
did agree to in a bipartisan fashion. I think we can be very happy 
about that. But there are still three or four salient issues that I 
wish we could just go ahead and debate and vote on, as we already have 
on a couple of very tough issues.
  I thank all my colleagues for their cooperation. I thank them for our 
ability to get in all of these amendments. I am grateful for the votes 
we have taken. I hope that overnight, even though the majority leader 
will file cloture--and I support that--we should think overnight if 
there are ways of resolving the existing differences--not in agreement 
but to move forward with debate and votes.
  Mr. President, I thank my colleagues. I thank my friend from Rhode 
Island. I hope we keep upmost in mind that what we are doing here 
affects the lives, the welfare, the benefits, and the capabilities of 
the finest in our society, the finest in America--the men and women in 
uniform.
  Mr. President, I yield the floor.
  Mr. REED. Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. WHITEHOUSE. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Hoeven). Without objection, it is so 
ordered.


                             Climate Change

  Mr. WHITEHOUSE. Mr. President, as the Senate considers the annual 
authorization of our military and national defense programs, I am here 
for my 178th ``Time to Wake Up'' speech, to discuss the security risks 
climate change presents to our Nation. I urge my colleagues to heed the 
warnings from our national security experts, not just the self-serving 
propaganda of the fossil fuel industry that blankets us. What are these 
national security risks?
  A first order of security risk is the physical damage climate change 
is causing in our atmosphere, oceans, and environment. Science and our 
senses are already perceiving this damage, indeed already measuring 
this damage. This order of security risk--risk to the Earth's natural 
order--will hurt farming communities, coastal communities, fishing 
communities, and anyone vulnerable to wildfires and extreme weather all 
around the world. Of course, the poorer you are, the more vulnerable 
you are to this risk.
  The second order of security risk from climate change is the 
consequences in human society from those physical, biological, and 
chemical changes in our Earth's environment. As farms or fisheries 
fail, people are impoverished and dislocated. Scarcity of resources 
leads to conflicts and confrontations. Storms and fires and floods can 
make the suffering acute. People who are hungry or dislocated or torn 
from their roots can become desperate, can become radicalized and 
violent. That is why the Department of Defense has for many years 
called climate change a ``catalyst of conflict.''
  Researchers from NASA and the University of Arizona determined that 
drought in Syria was very likely the worst in a thousand years. Massive 
crop failures and livestock losses moved farmers into stressed cities, 
where popular protests met brutal violence from the Assad regime. The 
tide of refugees from that chaos swamped Europe. To the extent the 
droughts in Syria were a root cause of the discontent that led to the 
conflict, and ultimately to the flight of refugees, European 
governments have seen this second order of security risk up close.
  There is a third order of security risk, and that is damage to the 
keystone institutions of our present world order--market capitalism and 
democratic government. We depend for the quality of life we enjoy on 
market capitalism and democratic governance, and those institutions--
capitalism and democracy--in turn depend on popular approval and 
confidence. But if you are a person whose livelihood has been harmed by 
the first-order environmental effects of climate change or if you are a 
person swept up in the second-order societal effects of climate change 
or even if you are simply a person who is dismayed as you witness the 
suffering and harm caused by climate change around you, you will want 
answers. It is human nature to want answers. When people are hurt, they 
want a reckoning. When that reckoning

[[Page 14172]]

comes, the discredit to institutions like capitalism and democracy 
could be profound for having failed to act in face of a known risk.
  Add to that failure to act a moral failure--why the failure to act? 
Fossil fuel companies, corporate entities, are knowingly causing this 
harm, and at least in the United States, they are aggressively fighting 
political solutions to the problem. They are fighting with 
professionally administered misinformation. Climate denial is the 
original fake news--with an absurd arsenal of political money.
  Companies not in the fossil fuel industry often have excellent 
climate policies within their corporate fence lines and sometimes even 
for their supply chains. But as we know in this building, these good 
companies collectively take essentially no action, particularly here in 
Congress, to offset the political force of the fossil fuel industry. 
Indeed, many companies with good climate policies nevertheless support 
industry organizations that are the instruments of the fossil fuel 
companies in preventing solutions. This all stands to be a lasting and 
dangerous discredit to the corporate sector and to market capitalism 
generally, and the discredit will worsen as the danger worsens.
  In Congress, we have nothing to brag about. We have shown ourselves 
unable to resist the fossil fuel industry, despite knowing it to be 
deeply burdened with obvious and enormous conflicts of interest and 
despite clear and repeated warnings from our national security experts. 
They could not have made it plainer. The Pentagon's 2014 Quadrennial 
Defense Review described climate change as a ``global threat 
multiplier,'' warning that ``the pressures caused by climate change 
will influence resource competition while placing additional burdens on 
economies, societies, and governance institutions around the world.'' 
Similar were the 2010 QDR and our national intelligence reviews.
  During his Senate confirmation process, Secretary of Defense James 
Mattis told this body:

       Climate change is impacting stability in areas of the world 
     where our troops are operating today. It is appropriate for 
     the Combatant Commands to incorporate drivers of instability 
     that impact the security environment in their areas into 
     their planning.

  That is, climate change needs to be a part of command planning.
  In response to a question from the Armed Services Committee, he 
testified:

       I agree that the effects of a changing climate--such as 
     increased maritime access to the Arctic, rising sea levels, 
     desertification, among others--impact our security situation. 
     I will ensure that the Department continues to be prepared to 
     conduct operations today and in the future, and that we are 
     prepared to address the effects of a changing climate on our 
     threat assessments, resources, and readiness.

  Former Admiral Samuel Locklear, as head of U.S. Pacific Command, 
warned in 2013 that climate change was the biggest long-term security 
threat in his area of operation, noting the need for the military to 
organize for ``when the effects of climate change start to impact these 
massive populations.''
  ``If it goes bad,'' he said, ``you could have hundreds of thousands 
or millions of people displaced and then security will start to crumble 
pretty quickly.''
  The Government Accountability Office is our Federal Government's 
watchdog. GAO has warned that climate change could affect military 
testing, training, and operating activities, hampering readiness and 
mission continuity. They have also warned of DOD's ``fiscal exposure'' 
to climate change. GAO says that climate change is already affecting 
our defense infrastructure around the globe--555,000 facilities and 28 
million acres of land, with a replacement value of close to $850 
billion. For instance, the Army's Fort Irwin, CA, is susceptible to 
heavy rain and flooding. Air Force radar installations in Alaska stand 
on unstable, thawing permafrost. The Diego Garcia installation in the 
Indian Ocean and Naval Station Norfolk in Virginia each face rising 
seas.
  In his new book ``The Water Will Come,'' author Jeff Goodell quotes 
the former Norfolk naval station commander, Joe Bouchard. The commander 
said:

       It was not a nuisance problem--it was not a minor 
     operational issue. Sea-level rise was interfering with the 
     combat readiness for the Atlantic fleet.

  I repeat: Sea-level rise was interfering with the combat readiness of 
our Atlantic fleet.
  The Navy is spending hundreds of millions of dollars to raise piers 
and other infrastructure above the rising waters. Goodell writes:

       But a base like Norfolk . . . is the hub of an entire 
     ecosystem that has grown up around it . . . fuel suppliers 
     and electrical lines and railroad tracks and repair shops and 
     . . . housing . . . and . . . schools. . . . You can't just 
     move all this to some random spot.

  What is happening in Norfolk is pretty damn serious.
  In 2015, Secretary of State John Kerry went to Norfolk, and he asked 
officers there how long they thought the base could hold out. ``Twenty 
to 50 years,'' Captain J. Pat Rios replied. Goodell describes it as 
what he calls ``an extraordinary moment in the annals of American 
military history: A U.S. naval captain had just told the Secretary of 
State that the strategically important base, home to six aircraft 
carriers and key to operations in Europe and the Middle East, would be 
essentially inoperable in as little as 20 years.''
  The bill approved by the Armed Services Committee recognizes this and 
requires the Pentagon to submit a ``comprehensive threat assessment,'' 
describing the climate risks to military missions and the climate-
related vulnerabilities of that massive DOD infrastructure. The 
Department is further directed to submit an ``implementation master 
plan,'' detailing the steps that DOD will take to mitigate climate-
related mission risks, incorporate climate-related events in combatant 
commanders' theater campaign plans, address military infrastructure 
vulnerabilities, update military construction standards for predicted 
flooding and extreme weather, and evaluate DOD's progress adapting to 
climate change. I commend Chairman John McCain and Ranking Member Jack 
Reed, my senior Senator, for seeing to it that this language was 
included in this bill.
  I also commend my House colleague Jim Langevin for getting similar 
language into the House version. The House provision states--by the 
way, this was a big bipartisan provision when it was voted on in the 
House. It states: ``Climate change is a direct threat to the national 
security of the United States,'' and it further requires that the 
Department of Defense be ``prepared to address the effects of a 
changing climate on threat assessments, resources, and readiness.''
  In the shadow of Harvey and Irma, storms that were amped up by warmed 
seas and that flooded further inland due to risen seas and that held 
and dumped more rain because of warmed air, and watching the 
unprecedented fires blazing across the American West and with these 
bipartisan provisions agreed to in the NDAA bills, I hope we may be on 
the brink of finally freeing ourselves from the relentless, remorseless 
political pressures of the fossil fuel industry. They have had their 
way around here long enough. We need to have a long overdue discussion 
of the effects of climate change on our national security, on our 
health, on our economy, and, ultimately, on our national reputation.
  Pope Francis has reminded us that we have ``a moral responsibility. 
We have to take it seriously.''
  He said: ``You can see the effects of climate change and scientists 
have clearly said what path we have to follow.''
  He went on: ``If someone is doubtful that this is true, they should 
ask scientists. They are very clear. They are not opinions made on the 
fly. They are very clear.''
  Pope Francis is a scientist himself, and having heard plenty of 
confessions, he is also a man of the world, and he understands the 
weakness of humankind. He understands political pressures. ``When you 
don't want to see, you don't see,'' he said. But he reminds us that 
``history will judge the decisions.''
  America is an exemplary Nation. As an exemplary Nation, one that 
projects power by example and not just by

[[Page 14173]]

force, America will be stronger and more respected if we pull together 
and craft American climate solutions. For a country that seeks to stand 
as an example in this world--a city on a hill, we often say--and a 
country that benefits from the power of that example, this shaming 
display of out-of-control special interest influence will have 
consequences. The world is watching. We have a role to play in this 
world, we Americans, and it is time we got about it before the 
consequences of climate change become, to quote Donald Trump in 2009, 
``catastrophic and irreversible.''

reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table and the President 
be immediately notified of the Senate's action.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
