This title may be cited as the ``Middle East Partnership for Peace Act of 2020''. SEC. 9002. FINDINGS. Congress finds the following: (1) Economic development in conflict settings has been shown to support stabilization by empowering entrepreneurs, growing the middle class, and mitigating unemployment. [[Page H3748]] (2) In 2018, unemployment in the Palestinian territories was 32.4 percent. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth in the Palestinian territories declined from 2017 to 2019, and it is projected to further decline in 2020. (3) According to the World Bank Ad Hoc Liaison Committee's April 2019 Economic Monitoring Report, ``to achieve sustainable economic growth, in the Palestinian territories, growth and job creation going forward will need to be private sector driven''. (4) According to the 2018 Joint Strategic Plan of the Department of State and the United States Agency for International Development, ``assistance can help prevent new recruitment to terrorist organizations, reduce levels of violence, promote legitimate governance structures that strengthen inclusion, and reduce policies that marginalize communities''. (5) Although economic development is an important tool for stabilizing conflict-prone settings and establishing connections between communities, economic development by itself will not lead to lasting peace. People-to-people peace-building programs further advance reconciliation efforts by promoting greater understanding, mutual trust, and cooperation between communities. (6) While the United States and its international partners continue to support diplomatic and political negotiations between the representatives of the parties to the Israeli- Palestinian conflict, such efforts require broad popular support among the people on the ground to succeed. (7) Achieving sustainable, high-level agreements for lasting peace in the Middle East must come through, and with the support of, the people who live there, and the United States and its international partners can help the people of the region build popular support for sustainable agreements for lasting peace. SEC. 9003. SENSE OF CONGRESS. It is the sense of Congress that-- (1) building a viable Palestinian economy is central to the effort to preserve the possibility of a negotiated settlement leading to a sustainable two-state solution with the democratic, Jewish state of Israel and a demilitarized, democratic Palestinian state living side-by-side in peace, security, and mutual recognition; (2) United States and international support for grassroots, people-to-people efforts aimed at fostering tolerance, and building support for a such solution, can help counter extremist propaganda and the growing issue of incitement; (3) strengthening engagement between Palestinians, Israelis, and through people-to-people peace-building programs can increase the bonds of friendship and understanding; (4) investing in the development of the Palestinian economy and in joint economic ventures can advance multiple sectors to the benefit of local, regional, and global parties; and (5) Congress encourages cooperation between Palestinian, American, and Israeli business sectors in order to benefit the Palestinian, American, and Israeli peoples and economies.

This Act may be cited as the ``Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2021''. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The bill, as amended, is debatable for 1 hour equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking minority member of the Committee on Appropriations. The gentlewoman from New York (Mrs. Lowey) and the gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. Granger) each will control 30 minutes. The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from New York. General Leave Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members have 5 legislative days to revise and extend their remarks and include extraneous material on the measure under consideration. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the gentlewoman from New York? There was no objection. Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. This minibus combines four bills: State and Foreign Operations; Agriculture, Rural Development, FDA; Interior, Environment; and Military Construction and Veterans Affairs. The package is the product of months of thoughtful deliberation and input from Members on both sides of the aisle. I am proud of the work we have completed under the incredibly difficult circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic. This appropriations package addresses urgent national priorities. I would like to highlight a few of our key successes that our cardinals have secured: strong funding and protections to help put nutritious food on people's tables during this time of economic crisis and rising food insecurity; increased investments in broadband to connect more Americans to work, school, healthcare, and family; robust funding to protect the environment and build resilience to climate change; and $12.5 billion in emergency funding to address sharply rising veterans' healthcare costs. I am proud that the package also includes strong emergency appropriations to confront coronavirus and support economic recovery, with investments in critical infrastructure and coronavirus preparedness, response, and relief domestically and globally. Turning to the State and Foreign Operations division, it is bittersweet to bring my last State and Foreign Operations bill to the floor before I retire. As subcommittee chairwoman or ranking member for two of my three decades here, I am honored to have been entrusted with this responsibility on this bill that has been a key component of United States foreign policy since World War II. The work of the subcommittee has been marked historically by bipartisanship, and I thank former Chair and Ranking Member Hal Rogers and former Chair and Ranking Member Kay Granger for their partnership to advance this vital legislation each year. Pivotal moments, from September 11th to the devastation the coronavirus pandemic continues to cause, underscore the significant value of foreign aid. It promotes freedom and democracy and supports global development and security, all of which increase stability and mitigate threats to Americans here at home. Indeed, our own children and grandchildren are more secure as a result of the United States' foreign assistance that has made the world better, safer, and healthier for generations, efforts that are continued in the fiscal year 2021 State and Foreign Operations bill we consider today. With a total of $65.87 billion, it rejects the President's go-it- alone approach to foreign policy. The bill includes $47.85 billion in base funding, $8 billion in Overseas Contingency Operations funds for base requirements that otherwise would not be funded by the President's budget request, and $10.018 billion in urgently needed coronavirus emergency funding to mitigate COVID-19's impact on our health and economy. To ensure this pandemic does not derail decades of development gains, this bill provides $3.8 billion in base funding for development assistance. This includes $975 million to increase access to basic education, of which not less than $150 million shall be spent on girls' education in areas of conflict. It effectively addresses food insecurity, poor water and sanitation services, trafficking in persons, and other long-term development objectives. The bill's holistic approach to global health seeks to bolster low- and middle-income countries' management of health threats and communicable diseases. It would sustain progress against HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria with $5.93 billion for global HIV/AIDS activities, including $1.56 billion for the Global Fund, for which it clarifies the United States' commitment to our 33 percent share. It also reverses the President's global gag rule, stops counterproductive restrictions on family planning and health funding, and includes $805.5 million for family planning services, of which $55.5 million is for the United Nations Population Fund. The bill provides restoration of funds for the World Health Organization to ensure American influence in an organization critical to the development and distribution of vaccines. {time} 1415 To address policies of the administration that harm our neighbors and drive migration, the bill amends prior-year appropriations acts to significantly limit the President's ability to redirect assistance outside of the region. It also maintains robust funding for counternarcotics and law enforcement efforts in Colombia, Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean; includes $68 million to address international organized crime; and maintains funding to combat cybercrime. The bill provides $9 billion for security assistance to key allies and partners with support for programs in Eastern Europe, Jordan, and Tunisia. It keeps the commitments of the United States at Camp David to promote peace in the Middle East by providing $3.3 billion in aid for Israel's security as well as assistance for Egypt. It restores humanitarian and development assistance to Palestinians with resources to organizations working in the West Bank and Gaza, and it advances a bipartisan priority, with $50 million to fund a new partnership for peace that would strengthen economic development and engagement between Palestinians and Israelis. It includes $7.83 billion in refugee and disaster assistance, including to Latin America, the Middle East, Asia, and Africa. Additionally, the bill prioritizes the security of diplomatic and development staff and facilities with $6.071 billion for embassy security, which is $692.2 million above the President's request. To effectively engage allies and reclaim our leadership role, this bill reaffirms our support for international partners and multilateral organizations, which extends the impact of our assistance, and facilitates delivery of urgent aid to mitigate human suffering. Lastly, to combat the destabilizing and persistent threats posed by climate change, the bill provides funds in this and prior acts to support multilateral efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It also strengthens conservation and environment programs and continues funding for adaptation and renewable energy programs at prior-year levels. This bill reflects our common belief in the absolute necessity of effective diplomacy, global engagement, and robust development assistance to protect our own national security even as we address moral imperatives beyond our own borders. Mr. Speaker, I thank my subcommittee staff who have worked in difficult circumstances to prepare the bill, including Majority Clerk Steve Marchese; staff Craig Higgins, Erin Kolodjeski, Dean Koulouris, Jason Wheelock, Marin Stein, Jean Kwon, Clelia Alvarado; Minority Clerk Susan Adams; Jamie McCormick; Austin Gage of Ranking Member Rogers' congressional staff; and finally, Wendy Coursen, Kelly Healton, Dana Acton, [[Page H3791]] and Elizabeth Stanley in my congressional office. Mr. Speaker, I express my gratitude to more past staff members and fellows than we have time to name today who have supported my work on the subcommittee. They are: Matthew Traub, Beth Tritter, Howard Wolfson, Clare Coleman, Jean Doyle, Jenny Luray, Scott Fleming, Mark Isaac, Heather Howard, Jim Townsend, Chris Bigelow, Lucy Heenan, Ann Vaughn, Talia Dubovi, Liz Leibowitz, Sonali Korde, Joe Weinstein, Brigid Otieno, Mark Carrato, Mark Lopes, Barbara Feinstein, Dennis Vega, Cortney Dunn, Megan Oates, Jennifer Munoz, Karen Larson, Ashley Quarcoo, Ralph Falzone, Mark Murray, Nisha Biswal, Michele Sumilas, and Michael Marek. Mr. Speaker, in conclusion, I urge support for the bill, and I reserve the balance of my time. Ms. GRANGER. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in opposition to H.R. 7608, the first package of fiscal year 2021 appropriations bills to be considered by the House. I wish the circumstances were different and I could support this very important piece of legislation that funds many key programs. This bill supports the veterans who have honorably served our country, the diplomats who promote American businesses and our values around the world, the farmers and ranchers who put food on our tables, and the custodians of our parks and public lands who protect our national treasures. Unfortunately, I am not able to support this bill before us because it has some fatal flaws. First, there are many policy provisions similar to the partisan legislation the majority has pushed through the House the last few months. Second, the spending levels exceed the amounts the Congress and the President agreed to just last year. While I acknowledge the hard work Chairwoman Lowey and her staff have done under very difficult circumstances, these bills do not reflect the way our committee typically does its business. Instead of building consensus with Members on our side of the aisle, these bills contain policy and funding proposals that appear to have been dictated from the top down. For example, the bill jeopardizes our security by prohibiting funds from being used to address the crisis on our southern border and by restricting the President's ability to respond to a national emergency. Provisions are included that would permanently prevent any administration from implementing reforms to programs that help lift many Americans out of poverty. The bill reverses course on nearly all of the language that was negotiated last year in the State, Foreign Operations bill to protect life. It does away with current policies that stop foreign organizations from receiving funds if they provide abortions. I am also disappointed to see that longstanding provisions aimed at enhancing transparency at the United Nations were removed. These conditions have made an impact on these agencies, and they should be continued. There are also new directives added that would jeopardize America's energy independence, and instead of rolling back burdensome environmental regulations to help America's businesses, this bill prevents many commonsense policies from being put in place and takes out key provisions from prior years. The bill also contains billions of dollars in emergency spending. $15 billion is included for infrastructure. Even though the Appropriations Committee has held more than 100 hearings and briefings this year, these proposals were never formally considered, and there were no discussions with Members on our side of the aisle. This is disappointing. Another $10 billion is included to address coronavirus, even though a $3 trillion bill passed the House in May and the Senate is planning to consider that bill in the next few weeks. In addition, $12.5 billion of veterans funding is unnecessarily designated as emergency, even though it was known that this spending would be needed when the budget agreement was enacted last year. We must work together on appropriations bills that avoid controversial legislative language and meet agreed-upon spending levels. This is the only way to get bills through the House and the Senate and signed into law. Mr. Speaker, for these reasons, I urge my colleagues to vote against this package, and I reserve the balance of my time. Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 5 minutes to the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Bishop), the chairman of the Subcommittee on Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies. Mr. BISHOP of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman for yielding me the time, and I rise in support of H.R. 7608. As chairman of the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Subcommittee, I am pleased to highlight the national priorities that are funded in the division that is covered in this bill. First, Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank our distinguished ranking member, Mr. Fortenberry. I hope he is not getting too embarrassed by my endless thanks and praise, but it is really genuine. Drafting legislation can be complicated, but we have been able to maintain an open line of communication, and I am proud of our bipartisan relationship. We have produced a good work product that makes important investments that will improve the life of every American. Our fiscal year 2021 allocation is almost $24 billion, 2 percent above the fiscal year 2020 and more than $4.1 billion above the budget request. The bill provides $3.2 billion for rural development initiatives to fund critical infrastructure, such as water and wastewater systems, and rural housing needs. The bill also funds the ReConnect Program at $990 million, which is an increase of $435 million, or 78 percent. I am extremely proud of the investments that we make to close the digital divide. The coronavirus pandemic has made everyone aware of just how important it is for students and workers to be connected to the internet, and our bill reflects that. The bill, once again, includes the 10-20-30 antipoverty formula for Rural Development programs that is designed to target much-needed Federal resources to rural communities in need. Persistent-poverty communities for too long have suffered from neglect, and this provision will assist in reversing that and help these communities to thrive. The bill provides $1.83 billion for farm production programs. I am particularly proud of the $33 million in loan authority that will help resolve ownership and succession of farmland issues, also known as the ``heirs' property'' issue, which predominantly affects Black farmers and has led to the loss of millions and millions of acres of privately held farmland for over a century. Since the beginning of the pandemic, hunger has become a new reality for millions of Americans, and our bill fully funds the SNAP, child nutrition, and WIC programs to meet the expected participation in fiscal year 2021. We also provided a big boost, $45 million, 18 percent, to the Commodity Supplemental Food Program, which serves the elderly poor. Our bill also blocks two unconscionable SNAP rules. The Able-Bodied Adults Without Dependents final rule and the Standard Utility Allowance proposed rule are both designed to restrict program eligibility. The bill provides $3.3 billion for agricultural research to ensure that America retains its role as the leader of global agricultural science. That number includes an increase of $29.5 million for programs that support the 1890 land-grant institutions. We rejected the administration's proposed elimination of the Food for Peace and the McGovern-Dole programs. Respectively, we provide $1.775 billion and $235 million for these programs, which is an increase totaling $65 million, to ensure that American agriculture remains an essential tool of diplomacy. The Food and Drug Administration is funded at $3.2 billion in discretionary funding, the increased funding dedicated to new initiatives that would advance influenza vaccine technologies and enhance the safety of medical products and the Nation's food supply, especially in light of COVID-19. The bill also gives the FDA the authority to require mandatory recalls of [[Page H3792]] unsafe prescription and over-the-counter drugs. This is the same authority that the FDA already has to recall unsafe foods, infant formula, vaccines, and medical devices, a need that has become increasingly apparent in the past few weeks. The bill also funds the Commodity Futures Trading Commission at $304 million, which is the same as the administration's request. Mr. Speaker, I am extremely proud of this division of the minibus, and I am supportive of the whole package. I urge my colleagues to support it. Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my personal staff, Michael Reed and Maya Solomon; and the subcommittee staff, Martha Foley, Diem-Linh Jones, Perry Yates, Joe Layman, Randy Staples, Justin Masucci, and our intern Xavier Roberts for their hard work on the bill. Mr. Speaker, I also thank Tom O'Brien of the minority staff of the subcommittee as well as the minority staff of the full committee, and a special thanks to our majority clerk, Shalanda Young, for her steady hand in leading the majority full committee staff. {time} 1430 The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentleman has expired. Mrs. LOWEY. I yield the gentleman from Georgia an additional 30 seconds. Mr. BISHOP of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I thank Ranking Member Granger for her hard work and her commitment and her public service. Finally, I want to say a special thank you to Chairwoman Lowey. This is likely to be her last Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies appropriations bill, and it has been a tremendous pleasure and honor working with her. We will miss her. But Americans and people all over the world are better for her many years of service to this Congress. Ms. GRANGER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 6 minutes to the gentleman from Kentucky (Mr. Rogers), the former chairman of the full committee, and ranking member of the State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Subcommittee. Mr. ROGERS of Kentucky. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman, my ranking member, for yielding this time; and I rise in opposition to H.R. 7608, the first appropriations measure to be considered by the House for fiscal year 2021. The measure before us today, Mr. Speaker, includes four of the 12 annual spending bills. Specifically, it would provide funding for the Departments of State, Agriculture, Interior, as well as Veterans Affairs, and their related agencies and programs. As ranking member of the State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Subcommittee, I want to again offer my sincere thanks to Chairwoman Nita Lowey for her collaboration. Her decision to lead this subcommittee, as well as being chairman of the big committee, the full committee, is a testament to her dedication to improving lives around the globe. She has been a tremendous partner in that venture for many years, and we will deeply miss her leadership of our committee and of this subcommittee. But I assure you, Madam Chair, we will continue this work in your memory because you have invested so much of your life in this subcommittee. Division A, the State and Foreign Operations appropriations bill for fiscal year 2021, includes $55.85 billion in non-emergency discretionary funding, and $10 billion in emergency funding for global coronavirus response, for a total of $65.87 billion. Within that total, the bill includes funding for many key priorities that are critical to our national security. Chief among them is $3.3 billion in Foreign Military Financing for Israel and continued funding at the current level for our close partners in the region, including Jordan, Egypt, Morocco, and Tunisia. I am also pleased that the bill maintains funding at the current level, as has been said, for embassy security. The attacks on our embassy in Baghdad this year were a stark reminder of how we must do everything we can to support the safety of our foreign service officers working abroad. I appreciate the Chair continuing funding to combat the flow of drugs into this country and to tackle transnational crime overseas. Overdose deaths from synthetic opioids like fentanyl have spiked with COVID-19's growth, so we have got an epidemic now of increased overdose deaths within the pandemonium that is going on as well. These international efforts go hand-in-hand with the work we do here at home in the relentless fight against drug abuse and addiction. Elsewhere in the bill, Divisions B, C, and D of this package include some notable areas of bipartisanship worth highlighting. I was pleased to see robust funding for clean and reliable water systems and rural broadband service, which are vitally important in my Kentucky district. The bill also continues funding for the Abandoned Mine Land Pilot Program, a crucial economic and community development tool for regions like mine that were devastated by the war on coal. The bill also provides critical resources to take care of our veterans, another welcome inclusion, given their great service to our Nation. While I admire the chair's leadership in guiding this legislation through committee under the most challenging circumstances, I simply cannot support the measure in its current form. Our committee has a proud tradition of bipartisanship and working together to fund and enhance shared priorities. However, this bill's unchecked emergency spending and partisan policy riders give me great concern, and ensure it has no hope of becoming law in its current form. Sweeping measures that threaten the sanctity of life, like those that overturn the President's expanded Mexico City policy and weaken the longstanding protections against coercive abortion and forced sterilization, known as Kemp-Kasten, are the most concerning and controversial. Also problematic are ill-advised investments, including the international climate funds like the Green Climate Fund, which jeopardizes American jobs. Despite some areas of agreement, the unrestrained spending and partisan riders require my opposition to the package. I therefore urge my colleagues to oppose the bill. Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the distinguished gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Hoyer), the majority leader. Mr. HOYER. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. I congratulate her for her work over the years. She and I spent over 2 decades serving together on that committee, the Appropriations Committee, and the same amount of time serving on the Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Subcommittee of that Appropriations Committee; and I enjoyed her insight and her wisdom and her hard work, and I thank her for what she has done for the committee and what she has done for the country. I also want to thank the Staff Director of the committee, Shalanda Young, who clearly is one of the most outstanding members of the Congressional staff on either side of the Capitol. She has been tireless in working with Mrs. Lowey to bring bills to the floor and, particularly with respect to our response to COVID-19, has performed extraordinary services. Frankly, but for the Appropriations Committee and its staff on both sides of the aisle, we would not have been able to do that; so I thank all those involved. Mr. Speaker, I am somewhat infamous, I suppose, on my side of the aisle with some other committee chairs and staff, for wanting to make sure that we do our work on appropriation bills. Frankly, there are so many important bills that this House and Senate pass and the President signs. Unfortunately, that hasn't been the case lately, but usually is the case. But these bills must pass. If the American people are going to continue to enjoy the services of their government, in so many critical ways to their lives, then the Appropriations Committee must do its job. We have been blessed that we have as chair and ranking member two Members who care about that process in Mrs. Lowey and Ms. Granger. I also had the opportunity of serving some period of time with Ms. Granger on the Appropriations Committee. She is a woman and Representative that I have great respect for and appreciate [[Page H3793]] her attitude and collegial effort to work together. I regret that these will not be bipartisan bills. Frankly, I think it is not so much because of the appropriations bill as it is because of the context in which we find ourselves in Washington, and in our country today. The House is getting its work done for the people, and passing these appropriations bills well in advance of the end of the fiscal year, as we did last year. Unfortunately, Mr. Speaker, the Senate is on track to fail to mark up a single bill in committee, which may be the first time ever that that has been the case. Sadly, it is consistent with their not passing any other bills either, so 275 of our bills sit untended in the United States Senate. Why? Because, as former appropriator and former Senate Budget Committee Chair Senator Judd Gregg said: ``I don't see any reason why they should go to markup if the goal of that markup is to simply create political fodder for the election, rather than move the bills forward.'' That bleak assessment speaks directly to the harmful effects of Senate Republicans' policy choices, because in this body, and in the Democratic Caucus, we believe appropriations bills are a statement of our values and an opportunity to communicate them to the American people. We have a saying, all of us, put your money where your mouth is. And if you don't do that, then your mouth is articulating things that you may not really believe in, but you think it is useful for people to hear. This package contains important and positive investments in our people, our economy, and in our national security that reflect House Democrats' commitment to governing for the people and, very frankly, I think, for the most part, Republican values, which is why I am so disappointed that this will not be a bipartisan effort. It reflects our priorities for moving America forward and helping our people get ahead. This bill will help ensure that children and families receive the assistance they need through SNAP and WIC to protect against hunger, an extraordinary challenge in today's COVID-19-afflicted America. It strengthens our conservation efforts and ensures a cleaner environment. And we passed an extraordinary historical bill yesterday in a bipartisan fashion to accomplish that objective as well. In particular, I am pleased it includes funding for the Chesapeake Bay program, so vital to my State and to our region. We are taking steps as well to protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and this package will require that the National Park Service will move any commemorative displays honoring the Confederacy, so that no American will be either humiliated or denigrated as they visit our national parks. The bill also ensures we provide resources to support our veterans, so critical, and across the board, felt to be a moral responsibility. We are standing with our servicemembers by prohibiting, frankly, the President from stealing funds from our military in order to build this wall that he said the Mexicans were going to pay for. Nobody believed it then; nobody believes it now. And he is taking money from our troops, from our military security, to build that wall. {time} 1445 I am proud that this bill continues America's strong and robust support for our ally Israel. In all, this is a funding package of which our country and this House can be proud. It reflects our values and our principles, and it is focused on governing responsibly and spending taxpayer resources wisely. Sadly, it will, in all likelihood, join the more than 275 other bipartisan House bills languishing in the Republican-controlled Senate. We have a lot of new judges; we just don't have legislation for the people. I urge the Senate to do its part to avoid even the risk of another shutdown. Just a few 18 months ago, 19 months ago, we came into this Congress with much of the Government of the United States shut down because the previous Congress had not funded the government. I urge the Senate to do its part. Let's get the job done together for the people. Mr. Speaker, I thank the chair, I thank the ranking member, I thank the staff on both sides of the aisle, and I thank Shalanda Young. Ms. GRANGER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Carter), who is the ranking member of the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Subcommittee. Mr. CARTER of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman for yielding me time. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to speak about division D of H.R. 7608, the Military Construction and Veterans Affairs appropriations bill for fiscal year 2021. Throughout my time in Congress, I have focused on three things: soldiers, their families, and veterans. It is an honor to serve as the ranking member of the appropriations subcommittee that has their interests in the forefront of our minds. Overall, I strongly support the funding provided for military construction projects. I am pleased the bill includes funding for the services' unfunded priorities: privatized military housing, resilient and energy-efficient installations, and cleanup of contaminated sites. On a bipartisan basis, the bill increases funding for women veterans, mental health and homeless programs, and supports construction of new VA facilities. Veterans have earned special attention for their service and sacrifice. In many ways, this bill helps to fulfill our promises to them. However, unfortunately and regretfully, I must express my opposition to H.R. 7608. Less than a year ago, we agreed to the 2019 Bipartisan Budget Act. I believe it is irresponsible to designate some funding as emergency just to avoid the caps set by that act. This is especially true since we all acknowledged the growing costs of veterans' healthcare programs when we agreed to the budget deal. I recognize the budget realities we face, but we should not unravel that agreement through this year's appropriations process. I am also concerned that this bill includes provisions that limit the President's ability to address the national emergency on our southern border. Regardless of one's position, the fact remains that cartels and criminal gangs take advantage of our political disagreements and continue to flood our Nation with dangerous and illegal drugs and exploit and traffic men, women, and children seeking a better life. This is unacceptable. While I oppose the final passage of the bill, I believe that the committee can continue to work together to fund programs important to soldiers, their families, and veterans in a responsible manner. In closing, I would like to thank my subcommittee chairwoman, Ms. Wasserman Schultz, for her dedication to our subcommittee and its responsibilities. Also, I want to thank Chairwoman Lowey for her service and leadership in this Congress, and I want to thank Ranking Member Granger for her support and commitment to enacting responsible spending bills. Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 5 minutes to the gentlewoman from Minnesota (Ms. McCollum), who is the distinguished chair of the Subcommittee on Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies. Ms. McCOLLUM. Mr. Speaker, I rise to support the fiscal year 2021 Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies appropriations bill. Thank you to my partner in this, Ranking Member Joyce, for his collaboration and partnership throughout this process. I am grateful for the leadership of Chairwoman Lowey and Ranking Member Granger. Last year, House Democrats secured significant new investments in environmental protection and land conservation. This bill builds on those successes to advance priorities of American families, ensuring that we have clean air and clean water to protect our children's health. We protect our most special places and endangered species and take meaningful actions to address climate change. The subcommittee recommends a total of $36.8 billion in discretionary funding, an increase of $771 million over last year's enacted level. [[Page H3794]] The bill also includes $2.4 billion in fire cap adjusted funds for suppression operations. The bill includes an additional $15 billion in emergency-designated infrastructure investments. These investments will increase access to quality healthcare and education and help clean up contaminated lands, polluted water, and unhealthy air. With yesterday's passage of the Great American Outdoors Act in fiscal year 2021, the Land and Water Conservation Fund will be fully funded at $900 million, the first time this has happened in over 40 years. I thank all of our constituents for making this passage a reality. Back to this bill. We reject the dangerous policies and funding cuts proposed by the Trump administration. Instead, we move forward by investing our resources in ways that keep our communities safe and healthy. We invest in protection and preservation of our landscapes and our biodiversity. I am particularly proud that this bill includes protections for our Nation's most visited wilderness, the Boundary Waters. It will put a halt to the use of funds in the next fiscal year to review or approve mine plans in the watershed of this treasured wilderness. But let me be clear: The operations of the current taconite mines of Minnesota's iron ore range are not impacted. There are no iron mines with plans under review. But there is a foreign-owned mining conglomerate with a plan under review for a toxic copper-sulfide ore mine on the doorstep of the Boundary Waters. The Trump administration cannot be trusted to conduct this environmental review. Multiple Cabinet members pledged in congressional hearings to complete a mineral withdrawal study within this very watershed. Instead, they abandoned the congressionally directed environmental review after 20 months, 4 months from completion, and they refuse to release results. This bill seeks to protect the Boundary Waters from an administration that has shown a lack of transparency, respect for science, or the ability to follow our Nation's environmental laws. Our subcommittee continues its nonpartisan approach to issues facing our Native American brothers and sisters. We provide $3.5 billion for the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Bureau of Indian Education, and the Office of the Special Trustee for American Indians, and $6.5 billion to the Indian Health Service. This is another step in the right direction toward upholding the Federal Government's trust and treaty obligations, but the work continues. The bill contains provisions related to ending the use of Confederate symbols on our public lands. Confederate flags and memorials have long been symbols of oppression and discrimination, and I am committed to doing everything we can to help this country confront and heal its legacy of racism. This is not about erasing our history, but it is about whether we are willing to do the hard work that is needed to confront the truth of our history and to work to right past wrongs. This is a good bill that works to tell the history of our country, even though sometimes it is painful to do so. It is a good bill that strives to use our natural resources wisely to protect our air, our water, and our land and to clean up those places that have been polluted in the past. This bill embraces conservation and the judicial use of our public lands, and yes, at times, it seeks to showcase the beauty of our natural resources that have been given to us by our creator. This is a good bill, and I encourage Members of this House to support it. I want to thank staff on both sides of the aisle for their hard work, including Rita, Jocelyn, Kusai, Janet, Peter, Donna, Tyler, Kristen, Darren, and Rebecca Taylor on my personal staff. Mr. Speaker, I urge all Members to support this bill. Ms. GRANGER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 6 minutes to the gentleman from Nebraska (Mr. Fortenberry), who is the ranking member of the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Subcommittee. Mr. FORTENBERRY. Mr. Speaker, I want to thank Ranking Member Granger for yielding. But first, let me acknowledge the service of our chair, Mrs. Lowey. I am so grateful for her graciousness, friendship, and especially the extraordinary example the gentlewoman sets in working with Ranking Member Granger, for the shepherding of our great committee. I thank the gentlewoman so much for her service. I also want to thank my good friend, Chairman Bishop, for the close working relationship that we have developed. Chairman Bishop has worked very hard to accommodate the many requests from our side of the aisle. I really value the constructive manner in which he was able to express his perspective, and we were able to work together toward constructive outcomes. The good news, Mr. Speaker, is that this bill largely reflects the cooperative spirit of the agricultural community in America as well as this committee. Now, Mr. Speaker, if I could divert for a moment, I want to tell a little story. My daughter Christine is 17. She got up at about 4:30 this morning. Blurry-eyed, she made her way over to a local parking lot, got on a bus, and went about 30 miles into a cornfield where she and many other young people begin to pick the tassels off the corn, fighting off rash and insects. They work most of the day until it is too hot to work anymore. She will come home tired and exhausted, and tomorrow, she and others will get up and do it again and again. This is a rite of passage in Nebraska. It is called detasseling. What it does is it creates this beautiful, lifelong lesson for young people, connecting effort to reward and the satisfaction of a job well done. So it is with the farmer, Mr. Speaker. Agriculture, in so many ways, both provides and unifies, and that is why I am proud to be ranking member of the subcommittee. Whatever policy differences we may have, particularly over budgets or transitional work requirements, it is clear that this bill affects the life of every American in many, many important ways. I would like to highlight three of those: food security, rural broadband, and our Nation's drug supply. First, this bill makes sure that vulnerable Americans have proper nutrition. Members on both sides of the aisle have shown strong support for nutrition programs, including the women's, infants', and children's nutrition program called WIC and the Commodity Supplemental Food Program for the needy elderly. There are many other nutrition programs that receive strong support, as well. Our committee and the entire Congress have worked well together to meet our current needs and to build upon these base programs to support those who have suffered the indignity of food insecurity, which is heightened right now during the midst of this pandemic. Second, our health not only depends upon good food, but it depends upon the integrity of our drug supply. During the pandemic, America learned what we here already knew: We are importing drugs and drug ingredients from countries that do not necessarily share our commitment to transparency, quality, or the protection of labor. Approximately 80 percent of our active pharmaceutical ingredients are sourced from outside of the United States. The bill directs the FDA to block entry of products from those drug manufacturing plants overseas that prevent immediate inspection just like we have in America. Frankly, Mr. Speaker, I would be more comfortable if I saw the ``Made in America'' label on each prescription bottle. Third, telehealth, tele-education, and telework are here to stay and are revolutionizing the way we think about and structure community. But here is our problem: Too many parts of the country don't have access to high-speed internet, about 35 percent of rural areas and, as has been noted, some urban areas as well. A mother from Columbus, Nebraska--a community that is rural in character of about 25,000 people--recently told us that she had to drive to the local public school parking lot in order to access their broadband and their WiFi to help her child do homework. I think we can do better than this, Mr. Speaker. This bill does provide over $1 billion of funding for the expansion of rural broadband and new metrics to measure [[Page H3795]] its success. Because it is not just about service providers or wires laid; it is about functionality and the mission of what I call creating an ecosystem of livability. The ideas behind what is traditionally called rural development really do need to change. The farm of the future concept will be driven by data-driven solutions, precision agriculture, and resilient ag practices that increase productivity, generate value-added products, enhance sustainability in ag communities, and put an important emphasis on local foods in addition to the expansion of the opportunities for telehealth, telework, and tele-education. {time} 1500 I want to also note something that Chairman Bishop has done. He has placed an important emphasis on expanding resources to historically Black colleges and universities, an area where we can all look for enhanced opportunity. Let me note the current challenges at the source of a disagreement in the bill. One of the objections relates to the budget used by the majority to fund these 12 bills in violation of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2019. Another objection is less about numbers and more about our commitment to one another. The problem is that the bill permanently disallows any future changes on work requirements in the SNAP program. From my perspective, when times are good and the economy is strong, the program should be allowed to adjust accordingly as persons seek meaningful work. Mr. Speaker, I look forward to continuing our work together to improve this bill and, once we do so, to potentially pass it into law. Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 5\1/2\ minutes to the distinguished gentlewoman from Florida (Ms. Wasserman Schultz), chairwoman of the Subcommittee on Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies. Ms. WASSERMAN SCHULTZ. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman from New York, Chairwoman Lowey, for yielding and for all of her hard work and leadership during this process and for her distinguished years of service. I am sad this is the last time that we will do this together, but I am so appreciative of her leadership and mentorship of me personally. I will truly, truly miss her. Mr. Speaker, the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies division of the bill highlights our continued commitment to our servicemembers and their families and to our veterans. Constructing the barracks, bases, and facilities that our military needs is crucial to our country's military readiness. Properly funding the Department of Veterans Affairs is how we deliver on the promise of medical care and other benefits that our veterans have earned through service to our Nation. The related agencies, including the American Battle Monuments Commission and Arlington National Cemetery, demonstrate to the world how we honor the sacrifices of those who served. That is why I am proud this bill includes $115.5 billion in discretionary funding, which is a $5.1 billion increase above the enacted fiscal year 2020 funding level and $2.3 billion above the President's budget request. For Military Construction, we provided $10.1 billion, rejecting the President's proposed cut of $3.6 billion below the current level for critical infrastructure needs on military installations. This includes $439.5 million for the Energy Resilience and Conservation Investment Program, which is $297 million above the request, and $1.49 billion for family housing construction, which is $135 million above the request, as well. We added these resources in order to fund critical oversight to address unacceptable conditions in military family housing, like mold, vermin, and lead. Mr. Speaker, $200 million is provided to clean up PFOS and PFOA contamination at previously closed installations. The bill also includes a new provision to prohibit military construction projects on installations named for Confederate officers until a process is initiated to rename those bases. No servicemember should live or train on a base named for a person who betrayed America's pursuit of a more perfect Union. For the VA, this bill provides a total of $240.2 billion, including mandatory spending; $104.8 billion is discretionary funding. This amount represents an increase of $12.3 billion above the fiscal year 2020 enacted level. The $90 billion within this total for VA medical care fully funds the budget request. I am proud that this bill will improve the quality of veterans' healthcare through significant investments in women's veterans' health, the ``whole health'' model, mental health and suicide prevention, homelessness assistance, rural health, and opioid abuse prevention. We also finally achieved consensus with the Senate that the cost of VA healthcare cannot remain within the budget caps. So $12.5 billion within the overall total of $104.8 billion for VA programs is designated as emergency funding to adequately fund VA healthcare for its more than 7.2 million patients. The bill boosts funding for VA research by 5 percent over the fiscal year 2020 enacted level to support the important work studying rare cancers and prosthetics for women veterans, just to name a few. It also provides funding for infrastructure improvements to ensure the VA has modern, safe facilities to treat our veterans, as well as supports continued implementation of the Electronic Health Record Modernization implementation and efforts to reduce the disability claims backlog. Mr. Speaker, I am proud of what this bill does, but I am equally proud of what it does not do. It does not fund the border wall, nor does it allow the President to bypass congressional intent and divert vital military construction funding from previously approved national security projects in support of an ineffective, unnecessary barrier. We cannot allow Presidential bigotry and xenophobia to be prioritized over American lives, our servicemembers, or our national security. Mr. Speaker, I thank my ranking member, subcommittee partner, Judge Carter, and Ranking Member Granger. We worked very well together. And while we may not always agree on these issues, we are agreeable, and I am proud to have them as partners and friends and truly appreciate their insights. I also thank the staff of both the subcommittee and in our personal offices, whose expertise and commitment to our servicemembers and our veterans is evident every day. Mr. Speaker, this is a good bill, it is a strong bill, and, most importantly, it does right by our servicemembers, their families, and our veterans. I also would briefly discuss a few of our accomplishments in the other divisions of this minibus. The Agriculture division supports our Nation's farmers, strongly invests in lifesaving nutrition programs, like WIC and SNAP, and blocks Trump's cruel SNAP regulations. The bill also includes funding and language to strengthen the regulation of e-cigarettes to break the epidemic of nicotine addiction that is gripping our Nation's youth. The Interior division protects our invaluable public lands, invests in climate resilience, and helps us restore our crumbling infrastructure, like the sewage failures in Fort Lauderdale. And I am particularly pleased that the bill includes language I requested that would block offshore drilling in any new area, including Florida's coastlines. Finally, the State and Foreign Operations division empowers women by increasing funding for international family planning and health programs. The bill expands aid for those struggling within Venezuela and for the refugees fleeing the economic collapse and oppression of the Maduro regime, and it ensures our ally, Israel, can defend herself, which is critical to our national security. Mr. Speaker, I personally thank our incredible staff: Lisa Molyneux, our clerk; Jennifer Hollrah; Sarah Young; Nicole Cohen; Keihysha Cenord; Lauren Wolman, on my personal staff; Michael Harris on my personal staff; and, of course, Shalanda Young, our intrepid clerk of our full committee, and the entire front office staff as well. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this spending package, and I thank everyone for their hard work. [[Page H3796]] Ms. GRANGER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 5 minutes to the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Joyce), the ranking member of Subcommittee on Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies. Mr. JOYCE of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in opposition to H.R. 7608. Before I get into the details of division C, the Interior and Environment section of the bill, I take a moment to thank Chairwoman Lowey and Ranking Member Granger for their steadfast leadership on the Committee on Appropriations. I extend my thanks to my friend and colleague, Betty McCollum, the chair of the Subcommittee on Interior, Environment, Related Agencies. Chair McCollum has been an excellent leader, and I am glad to have the opportunity to serve alongside her as the ranking member on the subcommittee. Mr. Speaker, the fiscal year 2021 Interior, Environment bill includes many bipartisan initiatives to conserve and protect our natural resources and to increase the Federal commitment to honor our treaties and trust responsibilities with American Indians and Alaska Natives. The bill increases investments in wildfire suppression, hazardous fuels activities, provides additional support for the National Park Service, EPA's rural water technical assistance grants, and fully funds the Payments in Lieu of Taxes program. The bill also provides significant funding--more than one-quarter of the bill--to help Tribal communities across Indian Country with healthcare, education, and law enforcement needs. This support is essential given, on a per capita basis, COVID-19 has hit Indian Country harder than any other area in our Nation. As a co-chair of the Bipartisan Task Force to End Sexual Violence, I was pleased to see critical funding included to implement the Violence Against Woman Act in Indian Country and to support Operation Lady Justice, an initiative established by the President to address missing and murdered indigenous people, human trafficking, and other violent crimes. Chair McCollum and her staff have worked hard to accommodate these requests for Members on both sides of the aisle in the bill. They will be appreciated by our constituents, regardless of party. In particular, I am grateful for the continued, robust investment in the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, which is essential to reducing harmful algal blooms, eradicating Asian carp, and addressing coastline erosion. However, despite these investments and bipartisan priorities, there are concerns in this bill that will need to be addressed before we reach bipartisan agreement. First and foremost, the bill adds several new controversial policy riders, administrative provisions, and report language directives. These partisan provisions prevent the administration from reducing regulatory burdens and limit responsible natural resource development. Limiting our domestic supply of much-needed natural resources does not decrease our demand for them, it only makes us more dependent on foreign nations to obtain them, which is not only a national security concern, but is also an economic security concern. We cannot protect American jobs if we cannot supply them with the energy and raw materials. This bill also eliminates several longstanding commonsense provisions that have enjoyed bipartisan support for many years. Adding these provisions back will be essential to reaching a bipartisan agreement. A final area of concern is the funding level proposed in this bill. This bill benefits from off-budget emergency funding provided in other bills, and instead of using the savings from the passage of the Great American Outdoors Act towards paying down our ever-growing national debt, the bill reallocates those funds. The bill also includes a new title, with $15 billion in so-called emergency spending for additional infrastructure. To be clear, there are critical infrastructure programs in this bill that need these funds and more, but that alone does not give the Federal Government license to continue to borrow and spend without any overarching plan for fiscal responsibility. Mr. Speaker, it is for a combination of these funding and policy reasons that I cannot support this bill at this time and in its current form, but I am committed to working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle as we move through the fiscal year 2021 process to craft a bill that can receive bipartisan support. Mr. Speaker, until then, I strongly urge my colleagues to vote ``no'' on this package. Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I continue to reserve the balance of my time. Ms. GRANGER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Rodney Davis). Mr. RODNEY DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I thank the ranking member, Ms. Granger, and Chair Lowey. Also, I give thanks to Chair McCollum and also Ranking Member Joyce on the Appropriations Subcommittee for Interior for allowing the provision that I am going to speak about to be included in today's legislation. It is very important because this inclusion was language from a bill that I introduced, the Springfield Race Riot National Historic Monument Act, and that is in the fiscal year 2021 Interior Appropriations bill. Mr. Speaker, my bill would designate the 1908 Springfield Race Riots, which ultimately played an integral role in the formation of the NAACP, it would designate the site of those race riots. For over the last few years, because of a Federal project, we have been uncovering artifacts from those race riots. We want to tell a story about those race riots and why America and Springfield, Illinois, should never have anything like that happen again. This language would authorize the Park Service to conduct a special resource study to determine its eligibility into the park system. Thank you, again, to all who have made this a possibility. Building off conversations that we had on the floor yesterday, I am grateful for this opportunity to further engage in the important discussions that we are having surrounding race in this country. Mr. Speaker, I look forward to supporting a final package that includes this language to give this site and the events that occurred there proper recognition. Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I continue to reserve the balance of my time. Ms. GRANGER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman from South Dakota (Mr. Johnson). Mr. JOHNSON of South Dakota. Mr. Speaker, in times like this, it is easy to understand why we have a social safety net. Today, 6 million more Americans are on food stamps than were in February. Now, SNAP encourages work and education. Those are the critical ingredients in upward mobility. And by design, those requirements are flexible enough to account for difficult economic times. Despite that flexibility, the majority is using this appropriations process to prohibit future administrations from more effectively encouraging work and education. Now, yes, we are in difficult economic times, but as our economy recovers, work and education will be even more important. By setting aside that emphasis, we are not improving our country. We are not reducing dependence. We are not improving economic opportunity. Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to reconsider. Ms. GRANGER. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, this package of appropriations bills will help make our Nations stronger at home and respected again in the world. Together, we can bolster food security, combat climate change, protect our environment, aid the world's most vulnerable people, and meet our commitments to our veterans. Mr. Speaker, I urge adoption of this important legislation, and I yield back the balance of my time. Ms. KAPTUR. I applaud Chairwoman Lowey in her resolve to accomplish Congress' top Constitutional priority assuring the operation of the government of the United States and in record speed this year, despite a global pandemic. Today's bold Appropriation minibus, which includes State and Foreign Operations, Agriculture and Rural Development, Interior [[Page H3797]] and Environment, and Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, reflects historic investments to meet the needs of the American people and strengthen our national resolve during an unprecedented period in American history. Here are a handful of provisions that make this bill strong. The bill prioritizes U.S. national security interests, including at liberty's edge in Central and Eastern Europe. It takes valuable steps to combat Russian aggression, it demonstrates our unwavering support for liberty in Ukraine, funds diplomatic exchanges between the U.S. and Poland, and protects Radio Free Europe's longstanding editorial independence. Then with acute food insecurity exposed in the pandemic, this bill advances sustainable agriculture in this era of climate change. It provides much needed support to hungry Americans, while giving rebirth to an idea cultivated by the Greatest Generation, Victory Gardens so every American family can reconnect with the power of earth to sustain life. As a lifelong resident of Toledo, Ohio, the distress from which our beloved Lake Erie and all our Great Lakes have struggled as a result of harmful algal blooms and invasive species like Grass Carp is a daily concern. For the last decade, we've lived with putrid green algae floating atop Lake Erie's Western Basin and tributaries, causing environmental, economic, and public health crises in the process. That's why I've fought to increase federal funding for projects like the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, which will receive $335 million in this bill and other fresh water sources. This bill says thank you to America's veterans, from general healthcare and mental health services, to suicide prevention and homeless assistance. This legislation makes historic investments to improve the delivery of care, with extra focus on women veterans. It also, underscores the importance of the VA's workforce and makes recruitment and retention a top priority. These examples are but a few of the worthy causes included in this effort that make America even greater. Mr. Speaker, this legislative package demonstrates the good a unified Congress can achieve when we work together, even during a pandemic where much of our work has been carried out remotely. I would like to thank Chairwoman Lowey for her remarkable leadership throughout this process, as well as each of the subcommittee chairs for their dutiful work getting this legislation across the finish line. I urge strong bipartisan support. Mr. SMITH of New Jersey, Mr. Speaker, I rise to speak on provisions of H.R. 7608. Someday, future generations of Americans will look back on us and wonder how and why a society that prided itself on its commitment to human rights, precluded virtually all protection to the weakest and most vulnerable--unborn children. I believe they will demand to know why dismembering a child with razor-sharp knives, pulverizing an infant with powerful suction devices, or chemically poisoning a baby with any number of toxic ``medications'', failed to elicit empathy for victim-babies. The bill before us today, Mr. Speaker, reverses several modest but important pro-life polices including the Protecting Life in Global Health Assistance Policy--which is a reiteration and expansion of President Ronald Reagan's Mexico City Policy. Announced by Reagan at the United Nations Conference on Population Control in Mexico City in 1984--hence its name--the policy was and is designed to ensure that U.S. taxpayer money is not funneled to foreign non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that perform or promote abortion as a method of family planning. I would note parenthetically, that over the years, I've sponsored many amendments on this floor to protect the Mexico City Policy, beginning in 1985. The policy restored by President Trump, now called the Protecting Life in Global Health Assistance Policy, established pro-child safeguards--benign, humane conditions--on about $8.8 billion in annual global health assistance. For years--under Presidents Clinton and Obama--foreign non- governmental organizations (NGOs) had been empowered by U.S. taxpayer grant money--to weaken, undermine, or reverse prolife laws in other nations and to destroy the precious lives of unborn children. Many countries throughout the world have been besieged by aggressive and well-funded campaigns to overturn their pro-life laws and policies. The Protecting Life in Global Health Assistance Policy mitigates U.S. taxpayer complicity in global abortion. U.S. foreign policy--and the foreign entities we fund with billions of dollars in grant money--should consistently affirm, care for, and tangibly assist women and children--including unborn baby girls and boys. Mr. Speaker, I am the prime author of several humanitarian and human rights laws including the historic Trafficking Victims Protection Act, the $30 billion five year reauthorization of the President's Emergency Plan for Aids Relief (PEPFAR), End Neglected Tropical Diseases, the Autism CARES Act, the Frank Wolf International Religious Freedom Act, the Stem Cell Therapeutic and Research Act, and much more. I am the prime author of the Microenterprise Results and Accountability Act and a second microenterprise law to help the poor, especially women, escape poverty through microenterprise grants, credit assistance, business development training--and self-sufficiency. I believe we must increase access to maternal and prenatal care and ensure access to safe blood and better nutrition for all women- especially those living in poverty. We must also expand essential obstetrical services, including skilled birth attendants, while improving transportation to emergency care facilities to significantly reduce maternal mortality and morbidity-- including from obstetric fistula. I wrote a bill--the Foreign Relations Act of 2006-7--that passed the House. I included a life-saving provision to establish 12 fistula centers mostly in Africa. When the Senate failed to act on my comprehensive bill, I asked USAID's Kent Hill to initiate a fistula repair program by administrative action. He did. Approximately fifty-four thousand women have had a life-changing fistula surgical repair. Mr. Speaker, prioritizing programs that ensure adequate nutrition and supplementation for moms and children during the all-important first 1,000 days of life--from conception to the second birthday--are among the most transformative, life-enhancing commitments that can be made. I've chaired several hearings on the stunning impact of the first 1000 days and included the initiative in my bill that passed the House--the Global Food Security Act. Expanding all these initiatives make women and children healthier, stronger, and more resilient to disease and disability while reducing death and injury. No one is expendable or a throwaway. Mr. Speaker, birth is merely an event--albeit an important one--in the life of a child. Victim-babies and their mothers absolutely deserve respect, protection, and an abundance of compassion. Ms. ROYBAL-ALLARD. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 7608, and I commend and thank the chairman and chairwomen who worked very hard to produce funding bills that reflect our ``For the People'' vision for America. This mini-bus composed of the State and Foreign Operations, the Agriculture, Interior and the Military Construction and Veterans Affairs appropriations bills provides critical resources for a wide range of our important domestic and international priorities. While there is much to be thankful for in this mini-bus, I would like to highlight a few of the many critical protections I requested for vulnerable animals which these subcommittee chairs graciously included in their bills. This bill defunds dog testing at the Veterans Administration and prohibits notorious Class B dealers from selling illegally acquired pets into research. It also provides emergency shelter options for domestic violence survivors with companion animals. It prevents horses from being slaughtered in America for human consumption and cracks down on the painful practice of horse soring. It pushes FDA to reduce primate testing and to retiree these animals to sanctuary. Finally, the mini-bus combats wildlife poaching and trafficking around the world and provides recovery funding for endangered species like the California Condor. Madam Speaker, Mahatma Gandhi once said the greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated. I thank Chairman Bishop and Chairwomen Lowey, McCollum and Wasserman Schultz for demonstrating what that greatness looks like. I urge my colleagues to support animal welfare and our many ``For the People'' priorities and vote YES on H.R. 7608. Mr. SCOTT of Virginia. Madam Speaker, I rise today in opposition to the amendment to H.R. 7608 proposed by my colleagues, Mr. Perry and Mr. Joyce from Pennsylvania. The amendment would prohibit the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from fulfilling the role outlined in an agreement that the Agency entered into--along with six states and the District of Columbia--to restore the Chesapeake Bay. Like the rest of the Bay's 64,000 square mile watershed, in my district in Hampton Roads, Virginia, healthy tributaries and a healthy Chesapeake are vital to the environment, the economy, recreation, wildlife and our way of life. Despite the vital importance of the Bay, how to best address its deterioration was a concern for almost half a century. Prior to the states' agreement with the EPA, their individual efforts were largely unsuccessful. In 2010, however, the Environmental Protection Agency established Total Maximum Daily Load, limits on nutrient and sediment pollution [[Page H3798]] to improve the Bay's water quality. Though the work continues, this new level of coordination and federal-state cooperation has been very successful. Beyond the Chesapeake region, this level of coordination provides a unique precedent for other restoration efforts across the country. Unfortunately, this amendment would prohibit the EPA from fulfilling their crucial role, one that the watershed states have agreed is necessary. History makes it clear that the collaboration and partnership of state, local, Federal, and non-governmental partners will be required to restore this national treasure. I urge my colleagues to vote no on this amendment. I also rise in support of the amendment that my colleague Ms. Speier has introduced. I share the gentlewoman's concern about forcing non- federal entities that have faithfully worked with the EPA to secure funding for the very successful Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA) Program to reapply. In my district in Hampton Roads, the SWIFT project--or the Sustainable Water Initiative for Tomorrow--is currently very close to closing a loan to move forward with their work to replenish the Potomac aquifer. Changing the application process for non-federal applicants that are already so far along in the process is wasteful and would unnecessarily delay projects that support access to safe and affordable water for our communities. In the case of the innovative SWIFT project, the WIFIA program supports my community's access to clean drinking water not only now, but also in the future as it recharges an aquifer on which most of eastern Virginia depends for their drinking water. In addition to limiting the amount of treated water that would otherwise be discharged into the James, Elizabeth, or York Rivers, this project would also yield enormous benefits to the entire region by slowing land subsidence, which is compounded in the Hampton Roads region by sea- level rise. Importantly for agricultural producers, the project also promises to slow the intrusion of saltwater into groundwater in the region. I urge my colleagues to join me in supporting the WIFIA program and the many benefits that it provides. {time} 1515 The SPEAKER pro tempore. All time for debate has expired.

Amendment No. 1 Offered by Mr. Allen The SPEAKER pro tempore. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 1 printed in House Report 116-459. Mr. ALLEN. Mr. Speaker, I have an amendment at the desk. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of division A (before the short title), insert the following: Sec. ___. Each amount made available by this Act (other than an amount required to be made available by a provision of law) is hereby reduced by 5 percent. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 1060, the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Allen) and a Member opposed each will control 5 minutes. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Georgia. Mr. ALLEN. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, once again this Congress is being asked to vote on an enormous spending package after being produced in just the last few weeks. How can the American people possibly have time to learn where their tax dollars are going? Today, we are considering amendments to a four-bill, 689-page package that totals $219.6 billion in discretionary spending, plus another $37.5 billion in emergency spending. The bills in this package spend billions on top of what the current budget agreement allows, and they also contain partisan poison pills, like overturning the administration's Mexico City Policy, allowing foreign organizations to receive Federal funds, even if they perform abortions. Let me underscore, under the Democrat majority, we can't even stick to the budget that was agreed to. As a former business owner--and if you talk to any business owner, they will tell you the same thing--you have to operate within a budget. Every day, families across this country are sitting down at the kitchen table making tough choices to live within their means. I am appalled by the lack of fiscal responsibility being shown by this body today as we seem to hold ourselves to a different standard than American workers and families. Unfortunately, that is just business as usual in the 116th Congress. The level of appropriations for State Department and Foreign Operations, which is what this amendment is specifically targeting, is $8.5 billion higher than Fiscal Year 2020, an increase of nearly 15 percent. The bill continues funding normal activities through Overseas Contingency Operations, rather than through the normal funding accounts, which is a mechanism that was originally set up to avoid spending constraints. My amendment today is simple. It would reduce State and Foreign Operations spending by 5 percent for Fiscal Year 2021. If you do the math, my amendment would cut about $3.3 billion. Even with my modest 5 percent cut, this division would still increase spending for Fiscal Year 2021 compared to Fiscal Year 2020. I believe my Democratic colleagues should support my amendment, since they will still be spending a lot of your hard-earned money, just a bit less than they initially intended. I want to be clear, though. I do not want to cut funding going towards our cherished and critical ally, Israel. I also want to know that our diplomatic efforts abroad are necessary. In fact, my son is currently living overseas and working on behalf of our Nation's interests. But it is important that we look at the balance sheet and make cuts wherever possible. We can no longer neglect our national debt crisis, and my colleagues must take a serious look at Washington spending and start to take back control. For the sake of our children and grandchildren, we must act immediately to rein in Federal spending so we don't leave our next generation with an insurmountable debt. Mr. Speaker, I am the proud grandfather of 13 grandchildren, with one on the way, and I believe it is my duty to do everything in my power to avoid placing a $26 trillion and rising burden of debt on their backs. My amendment is just a small first step toward bringing fiscal responsibility back to Washington. I urge all my colleagues in this body to support my amendment today. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time. Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I claim time in opposition to the gentleman's amendment. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman from New York is recognized for 5 minutes. Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, our committee has worked hard on a bipartisan basis to craft a bill that provides the necessary tools to the Secretary of State and the USAID administrator to advance United States foreign policy. Mr. Speaker, I have long opposed amendments that indiscriminately apply across-the-board cuts to the carefully considered funding in this bill, which addressed many of the requests brought to the committee from both Democrats and Republicans in the House. Such amendments make no provision for protecting high-priority programs and activities. For example, this amendment would cut $165 million [[Page H3799]] from security assistance for Israel. It would cut $457 million from global health programs, including $296 million less for HIV/AIDS activity. This amendment would cut $391 million from lifesaving humanitarian assistance and $305 million from funds made available to protect our diplomats and development personnel and the facilities in which they work and live overseas. In addition to assistance for our ally Israel, cuts would also impact funding for other key allies, such as Jordan, Egypt, Ukraine, Colombia, and countries in Eastern Europe that are battling Russian aggression and disinformation. I strongly urge a ``no'' vote on the gentleman's amendment, and I reserve the balance of my time. Mr. ALLEN. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I understand we are in unprecedented times. But of the $10 billion in spending that Democrats say go towards international coronavirus relief, only $2.5 billion is designated to health programs, and a significant amount of those funds are diverted away from coronavirus. And let me just say that I understand the need to work with our allies on a vaccine and global health response to the coronavirus, but I believe that our priorities should be focused on combatting the virus here in the United States. Mr. Speaker, I cannot overstate the importance of restoring fiscal sanity here in the United States Congress. It is in the best interests of the future of our country that we take desperately needed steps to rein in our national debt. We are passing along to future generations an enormous debt burden. Does anybody understand that? I mean, can you imagine our children's children's children's children dealing with this? I would ask all my colleagues today to think about your kids, your grandkids, and your great-grandkids before casting your vote. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentleman has expired. Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Kentucky (Mr. Rogers), the distinguished ranking member on the State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Subcommittee. Mr. ROGERS of Kentucky. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to the gentleman's amendment. This bill funds a number of important programs that are part of our national security. While I believe there is room for a small reduction, taking cuts across the board is not an appropriate way to carry that out. The amendment would cut everything across the bill, indiscriminately, and that includes the $3.3 billion, as has been mentioned, in foreign military financing for Israel. Reducing funding for Israel's security by $165 million, in addition to reductions to embassy security and other key investments, is ill-advised. There is a better way. I urge Members to oppose the amendment. Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, our national security is strongest when development, diplomacy, and defense are equally prioritized. This amendment undermines U.S. leadership and diminishes our engagement in the world. Yes, I do think of my eight grandchildren when I urge my colleagues to oppose this amendment. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 1060, the previous question is ordered on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Allen). The question is on the amendment. The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that the noes appear to have it. Mr. ALLEN. Mr. Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3 of House Resolution 965, the yeas and nays are ordered. Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, further proceedings on this question are postponed. Amendments En Bloc No. 1 Offered by Mrs. Lowey of New York Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, pursuant to House Resolution 1060, I offer amendments en bloc. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will designate the amendments en bloc. Amendments en bloc No. 1 consisting of amendment Nos. 2, 11, 12, 14, 16, 19, 20, 26, 30, 32, 34, 35, 37, 38, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 59, 60, 63, 69, 71, 73, 75, 79, 80, 81, 82, 99, 100, 104, 106, 107, 108, 109, 111, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119, 121, 122, 123, 125, 126, 127, 128, 129, 130, 131, and 132 printed in House Report 116-459, offered by Mrs. Lowey of New York: Amendment No. 2 Offered by Mr. Barr of Kentucky Page 64, line 9, after the first dollar amount, insert ``(increased by $25,000,000) (decreased by $25,000,000)''.

Pursuant to House Resolution 1060, the gentlewoman from New York (Mrs. Lowey) and the gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. Granger) will each control 15 minutes. The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from New York. Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 45 seconds to the gentlewoman from Minnesota (Ms. Craig). Ms. CRAIG. Mr. Speaker, we owe our veterans our utmost respect and a debt that can never be repaid. Earlier this year, I testified for increased mental health services, especially in rural communities, and increased access to care on behalf of the veterans in Minnesota's Second Congressional District. I am proud that my legislation is included in the bill that we will pass tomorrow, and it includes the following: My amendment for a $1.5 million increase in the Veterans Health Administration medical services' account to expand the Rural Health Resources Center's program and increase funding for the Office of Rural Health so that they can continue their research to navigate barriers and expand access to care. I ask all of my colleagues to join me in stepping up to support our veterans. {time} 1530 Ms. GRANGER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Utah (Mr. Stewart). Mr. STEWART. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in opposition to amendment No. 69, sponsored by Representative Cohen from Tennessee, which is included in this en bloc. While I appreciate the gentleman's concerns for our Nation's wild horse and burros, and I don't doubt that at all, the amendment is misguided and will actually end up hurting these animals more than it helps. I have been working on this issue for more than 6 years. There is nothing more important to the rural part of my district than is this, yet none of the sponsors of this amendment came to me to talk about this amendment. If they had come, I could have saved them some time. The amendment seeks to push the PZP contraceptive. The only problem with that is it doesn't work. Instead, we should allow research scientists and the BLM to do their jobs in determining the best way to manage these herds. Tying their hands by earmarking 50 percent of the increase on PZP birth control doesn't allow them to follow the best science to maintain healthy herds and healthy ranges. If you care about these animals and if you don't want to see them starve to death, then, please, work with us, and let's defeat this amendment. Mr. Speaker, I am going to conclude, if I have a few more seconds. We have a diverse and bipartisan group that has been working on this, as I have, for many years. Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 45 seconds to the gentlewoman from Michigan (Mrs. Dingell), the co-chair of the DPCC. Mrs. DINGELL. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of the bipartisan en bloc amendment and three of my important amendments included in this package to address PFAS contamination. PFAS is a national health and environmental crisis. It is growing in scope every day, contaminating our air, water, and soil. Michigan has been hit hard. But yesterday, we led in setting the standard in the absence of Federal action. My main amendment will ensure that the administration cannot withdraw their decision issued in January to proceed with the national drinking water standard for PFO and PFOS. It will also prevent the administration from reversing its efforts to designate these notorious chemicals as hazardous substances under the Superfund program, which will kick-start the cleanup process at the most contaminated sites nationwide. This amendment doesn't go far enough, but it is a beginning to make sure we don't go backward in our efforts. I push all of my colleagues to join these efforts as cosponsors and thank Chair McCollum for her enduring leadership in this year's Interior appropriations bill. Ms. GRANGER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman from Washington (Mr. Newhouse). Mr. NEWHOUSE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to urge my colleagues to support this bloc of bipartisan amendments, which contains two amendments I have offered with my friends across the aisle. Mr. Soto and I introduced an amendment which will support important fertilizer research and development through the fertilizer management initiative, as this body authorized in the 2018 Farm Bill. I also would like to speak on an amendment I offered with Mr. Panetta, which will empower agriculture employees to provide personal protective equipment for our essential agriculture workers. This pandemic has affected every aspect of our lives, but what has not changed is the critical role that our farmers, our ranchers, and our agricultural employees play in putting food on our tables and securing our Nation's food supply. It is my hope that this amendment will lead to a larger conversation about how we ensure the safety of those working hard to feed our country and strengthen our agricultural industry. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support these amendments, and I look forward to continuing our bipartisan work. Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 45 seconds to the gentlewoman from Nevada (Ms. Titus). Ms. TITUS. Mr. Speaker, for more than 80 years, Hagia Sophia has served as a museum visited by people from all [[Page H3802]] around the globe. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is an architectural masterpiece, with a complex history as a place of worship for both Christians and Muslims. Changing its status is an affront to religious pluralism, and it jeopardizes its standing. This amendment encourages the State Department to denounce Turkey for taking this despicable action and to engage for the purpose of returning its status to a museum. Mr. Speaker, I urge support of this amendment. Ms. GRANGER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Bergman). Mr. BERGMAN. Mr. Speaker, on behalf of all veterans living rurally and remotely, I rise in support of my amendment included in this en bloc package. The amendment focuses additional efforts within the Veterans Health Administration Office of Rural Health on solutions that will bring more connectivity to veterans living in rural and remote areas. My district features not just rural but remote communities where many veterans are unable to access high-speed broadband. The coronavirus has only further highlighted this digital divide. The VA and Congress proactively responded to the pandemic with increased telehealth resources for veterans. This is a crucial and critical step, but what good is it for the veterans who don't have access to broadband in the first place? We need to keep our Nation's promises to all veterans, including those living in rural and remote communities. Mr. Speaker, I strongly urge my colleagues to support this amendment. Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to yield 45 seconds to the gentleman from California (Mr. Ruiz). Mr. RUIZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of my amendment to H.R. 7608, which provides an additional $1 million for the VA to conduct educational outreach to veterans about the Airborne Hazards and Open Burn Pit Registry. My amendment will help veterans exposed to burn pits by strengthening the burn pit registry and making patients aware of early warning signs of life-threatening illnesses as well as the existence of the registry. My amendment will also fund additional research on the health effects of burn pits, using the data from the registry. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to help our veterans exposed to burn pits by supporting my amendment. Ms. GRANGER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Alaska (Mr. Young), the dean of the House. Mr. YOUNG. Mr. Speaker, Madam Chair, and Madam Ranking Member, this could be a good bill, but there are some provisions that shouldn't be in it that were put in it. One is ANWR, which we passed in this House 13 times with help from both sides, open an Arctic wildlife range. There is a provision here to prohibit that. There is also a provision not to repeal the roadless area in the Tongass National Forest. There is a provision about not allowing the State of Alaska to control the fishing and hunting rights of the State of Alaska on Federal lands, as it is now. You know, I resent it. To allow other Members of Congress to come into your district or my district and tell us how we should represent them, this is not the way to do business. This is the House of the people, as representatives of the people, duly-elected from each constituent. Everyone that I know of in my State opposes these riders and these amendments. But for some reason, there is a group that say, ``Oh, we know better than the people,'' the Congressmen. We know what is best for us, and it is not their district. The Tongass, for instance, is an area of 16 million acres of land. Prohibiting harvesting timber or access because of the roadless definition of the Obama administration is wrong. We have harvested less than 400 acres of that whole total 16 million acres of land. We are not asking to harvest that, but we want access for communities. And there are other parts of our State, lands within that forestland, but this provision, this rider, would preclude that. That is not representation from a Congress of the people. I have watched this body now in 48 years dissolve into what I call an adversarial position on both sides by label. That is not representation. These riders shouldn't be in here. These amendments should not be accepted if you believe in the House of Congress for the people of America. If you don't believe that, maybe we ought to set up a different system. These should not be in this bill. The bill, overall, is not a bad bill. I think it is pretty good. In fact, there are some good things in there for Alaska. But you had to let these little mice come into the barn and eat the grain and leave residue behind. I am making a suggestion. When you write these bills, be very careful what you allow to be put in the bills that don't apply to the bill and, in fact, are personal interests not only from those Congressmen that submitted them but wrong for the State of Alaska. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to address their remarks to the Chair. Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 45 seconds to the gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. Cohen). Mr. COHEN. Mr. Speaker, the two amendments that I have in the en bloc concern horses. One concerns wild horses and a more humane way to deal with the wild horse population. Right now, the Bureau of Land Management uses helicopters, rounds them up, and puts them in pens for the rest of their lives. This would be a more humane practice and cost only 10 percent of their budget, and it would certainly be something the Rolling Stones would be for, ``Wild Horses.'' The other is one that would give money for an audit on the soring practices of Tennessee walkers, an inhumane practice that has gone on for a long time. We need to be considerate of our four-legged friends, and this would support the walking horses. Mr. Speaker, I am thankful to see these included in the en bloc, and I am pleased to see this progress. Ms. GRANGER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Kentucky (Mr. Barr). Mr. BARR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of my amendment to this appropriations package that highlights the need to use all the tools in America's tool kit to counter the Chinese Communist Party and the totalitarian government in Beijing. My amendment shows bipartisan support for the United States International Development Finance Corporation and its important work to counter China's Belt and Road Initiative. As a member of the House's China Task Force and former chair of the House Financial Service's Subcommittee on Monetary Policy and Trade with jurisdiction over the Treasury Department's national security portfolio, I am keenly aware of the threat that China poses through its Belt and Road Initiative and direct foreign investment internationally. While we will never match China dollar for dollar in government subsidies, agencies like DFC can leverage the unlimited potential of the private sector to counter China's model of debt-trap diplomacy and colonialism. I am proud to support DFC in promoting private investment in developing countries, its role in advancing U.S. global development goals and economic interests, and offering an alternative to China's malign investment overseas. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to adopt this amendment. Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 45 seconds to the gentlewoman from New Jersey (Ms. Sherrill). Ms. SHERRILL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of my amendment to increase funding for the Airborne Hazard and Burn Pit Center of Excellence. Burn pits have been called the Agent Orange of our generation. Too many of our veterans have been exposed to harmful chemicals from burn pits, which we know lead to increased risk of lung and respiratory diseases. We have seen this firsthand in my district due to the illnesses related to working on the burn pits on the pile in an area of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. We must do more. The center located in New Jersey is doing critical research into the long-term health effects from burn pits, research our veterans and healthcare providers need. [[Page H3803]] Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this package. Ms. GRANGER. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time. Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 45 seconds to the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Soto). Mr. SOTO. Mr. Speaker, this appropriations package continues to make important investments to restore and protect the environment of our beautiful State of Florida. We have language in there encouraging the National Park Service to consider the Kissimmee River at the headwaters of the Everglades for the Wild and Scenic Rivers Program, one of the highlights of our district. Everglades restoration: over $15 million, including $10 million for CERP. We help address harmful algal blooms that hurt our coast, including recognizing the threat and encouraging EPA for more support and research. We address the threats to the Great Florida Reef by recognizing the coral disease outbreak and recommending additional resources with State and local partners. We help out with sinkholes throughout Florida by having the USGS identify and map them out so we can protect Floridians. We are also recognizing natural disasters like the earthquake in Puerto Rico by continuing to develop new programs. {time} 1545 Ms. GRANGER. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time. Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 45 seconds to the gentleman from California (Mr. Panetta). Mr. PANETTA. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. I rise today to offer an amendment to protect our Nation's farmworkers. This pandemic has shown that our farmworkers are absolutely essential. They show up to work every day to keep our communities fed and our Nation's food secure. But due to living and working conditions, many are uniquely susceptible to this disease. That is why we must dedicate immediate and robust funds to the USDA to establish an emergency program that covers the cost of PPE and other safety measures to protect our farmworkers. And that is just the beginning. We need to provide our farmworkers with proper pay, job security, methods for childcare, family leave, and support for their families. Our farmworkers deserve and require action from the Federal Government to protect our food supply and our food security. Ms. GRANGER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from North Carolina (Mr. Hudson). Mr. HUDSON. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman for yielding and for her tremendous leadership. I also thank Chairwoman McCollum and Ranking Member Joyce for working with me on this very important amendment. In my congressional district in North Carolina resides the Uwharrie National Forest, which many of my constituents call home. This national treasure is a pillar of our community and brings folks from all across the Nation and the world to North Carolina every year. But for those who live in the Uwharrie National Forest, it looks a lot different. My constituents in the Green Gap community have had to contend with dangerous roads in the Uwharrie National Forest for years while the Forest Service has neglected their maintenance. As someone who has seen firsthand how dangerous these roads are, I can attest to the critical need to pave these roads. One of my constituents had a heart attack, and the ambulance couldn't get down the road because of ruts and the washouts. Thankfully, the desperate but resourceful paramedics got out of the ambulance and sprinted down the road with a stretcher. Another one of my constituent's house burned to the ground because the road was so impassable, the fire truck couldn't get to the house to put out the blaze. Put yourself in the shoes of my constituents. Imagine living with this fear every day. Working with me, the State of North Carolina has stepped up with financial assistance and agreed to maintain these roads. I am asking this Congress to also step up to ensure my constituents are not forgotten and they have access to critical lifesaving services they deserve. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support my amendment. Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 45 seconds to the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Gottheimer). Mr. GOTTHEIMER. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. I rise in support of this package, which contains four amendments I introduced. My first amendment supports the family-owned dairy farms, backbones of the rural economy in northwestern New Jersey, which are facing major challenges from the pandemic. Dairy farmers have suffered more than $5.7 billion in losses from the crisis, and my amendment calls for support for the dairy farmers. My second amendment provides more resources for the inspector general of the VA to investigate and ensure proper compliance of the State-run veterans homes, like the disaster-stricken State-run New Jersey veterans home in Paramus, where 81 residents and one staff member tragically died from the coronavirus outbreak. My amendment will make much stronger Federal oversight of these facilities possible, which we need to protect our veterans. My third boosts investment for medical care at non-VA facilities to continue our fight for greater access to healthcare for veterans in north Jersey. And my fourth would increase investment for the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum's outreach services. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentleman has expired. Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield the gentleman from New Jersey an additional 15 seconds. Mr. GOTTHEIMER. Mr. Speaker, my fourth amendment would increase investment for the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum's outreach services so more Americans can learn about the history of the Holocaust, anti-Semitism, and other forms of hatred, bigotry, and intolerance. Mr. Speaker, I urge support for this bipartisan en bloc set of amendments. Ms. GRANGER. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of further research, production, and use of PZP-22, native PZP, GonaCon, and other reversible fertility control to help reduce our country's untenable wild horse populations. Urgent action is needed to protect the wild horses and prevent further population increase. I support and thank my colleague Representative Steve Cohen and those who joined him in the Appropriations amendment which calls for $11,000,000 for the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) Wild Horse and Burro Program budget. This funding would be used to implement a humane fertility treatment such as PZP, which is a reversible fertility control. This specific funding is a necessary and immediate measure that addresses the bipartisan call for humanely managing the wild horse population. In my district, the University of Toledo has led the way on research and production of PZP-22 for wild horse fertility control. BLM recently confirmed that PZP remains a necessary tool to control the wild herds. Unfortunately, BLM is not utilizing PZP or fertility controls to its fullest potential and is leaving research capabilities unutilized. BLM has a duty to continue the research, production, and use of proven contraception such as PZP-22, while also pursuing other efforts toward their goal of a vaccine that can be administered quickly and cost effectively. The Cohen Amendment draws critical attention to these measures. I look forward to continuing to work with my colleagues in the House and the Bureau of Land Management to find a humane and effective solution to reversible fertility control. Until then, we must persist with proven reversible fertility vaccines to quell the unsustainable wild horse population. I urge adoption of the Cohen Amendment. Mr. McCAUL. Mr. Speaker, the Chinese Communist Party's aggression and malign conduct grows more severe each day. The CCP's malfeasance allowed the COVID-19 outbreak to become a global pandemic, causing untold economic destruction. They conduct militarized territorial aggression against most countries that border China. The CCP is pioneering a new form of colonialism, degrading the sovereignty of developing nations through debt and corruption, extracting resources and military outposts. They have orchestrated the largest transfer of wealth in human history [[Page H3804]] through state-directed economic espionage against the United States and other advanced economies. And the CCP is responsible for the gravest human rights atrocities occurring in the 21st century. The evidence is manifest that the malign influence of the CCP is the greatest United States foreign policy challenge of this generation. It affects every one of our states and districts, a fact that was underscored this week by the closure of China's Houston consulate in response to multiple instances of economic espionage. We must sustain U.S. resources to counter this threat, so I am grateful that my amendment has been included in a bipartisan en bloc package for H.R. 7608, the Fiscal Year 2021 State, Foreign Operations, Agriculture, Rural Development, Interior, Environment, Military Construction, and Veterans Affairs Appropriations Act. My amendment will partially restore the prior fiscal year's funding levels for the Countering Chinese Influence Fund, helping to ensure that appropriate resources are available to address this generational challenge. I'm glad that the House will address our leading foreign policy priority on a bipartisan basis, and thank my colleagues for supporting this measure to sustain U.S. resources to counter the malign influence of the CCP. Mr. COURTNEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of my amendment, numbered 40 to Division B of H.R. 7608, to provide $750,000 for the National Institute of Food and Agriculture's Agricultural and Food Research Initiative to research innovative practices to increase carbon storage in agricultural land. My amendment identifies Enhanced Rock Weathering as a priority research area, with a focus especially on how this practice enhances carbon sequestration or may affect air quality and soil health. Additionally, my amendment requires that research also identify any impacts this practice would have on workers and consumers. As discussed by a new major research study from the University of Sheffield, published in Nature, adding rock dust to farmland could remove up to two billion tons of carbon dioxide from the air each year and help significantly reduce our global CO2 footprint. The technique of adding crushed volcanic rock dust to farmland--known as ``enhanced rock weathering''--has shown great potential to increase the soil's extraction of carbon dioxide from the environment. However, there are significant gaps in this research, including the side effects of this method on public health for both farmworkers and neighboring communities, and USDA is not currently engaged in studying this particular practice. Clearly more research is needed on this technology, and USDA is well-positioned to fund this work. I urge the adoption of this commonsense amendment to this en-bloc package. Mr. COURTNEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of my amendment numbered 71 to Division C of H.R. 7608 to increase base funding to $300,000 within the National Park Service budget for Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 for the New England National Scenic Trail (NET). The NET was designated by the Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009 making it the newest of the nation's 11 national scenic trails. The NET is a 220-mile hiking trail winding through 40 communities in Connecticut and Massachusetts. Nearly 2 million people live within 10 miles of the trail, and since the designation, excitement about the trail and activities to improve the trail have continued to increase. The NET is managed through a partnership between the National Park Service and two of New England's most established nonprofit trail and conservation organizations--the Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC), established in 1876, and the Connecticut Forest & Park Association (CFPA), established in 1895. Since designation, the NET has been flat-funded at an average level of $127,000 in Operation of the National Park System funding, despite a conservative recommendation in its original 2005 NPS Trail Feasibility Study of an annual operating budget of $271,000. An increase in base funding is needed to implement the federal portion of the Trail Management Blueprint for the NET and to support the work of two trail partner organizations, the AMC and the CFPA. Based on more than a decade of experience with NET trail operations and needs, a total annual appropriation of $300,000 in FY 2021 is recommended to fully fund this trail and to support the work of volunteers, regional partners, and youth trail crews as they execute improvements to trail infrastructure, trail protection and planning, and trail information and promotion. I urge adoption of this en-bloc package, and I want to thank Mr. Himes, Ms. DeLauro, Mr. Larson, Ms. Hayes, Mr. Neal, and Mr. McGovern for their kind support for this measure. Mr. SEAN PATRICK MALONEY of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of my amendment to H.R. 7608, Division B--Agriculture, Rural Development Appropriations Act of 2021. My amendment, included in the bipartisan en bloc, will increase funding for the Crop Protection and Pest Management program by $1 million. In 2017, the Allium leafminer-- an invasive pest that threatens onion crops--was discovered in Orange County's black dirt region. Orange County produces half of New York State's onion crop, generates $25 million in annual sales, and employs hundreds of residents. So, my office got to work with Dr. Brian Nault of Cornell. By leveraging a grant from the Crop Protection and Pest Management program, Dr. Nault has been working to find effective and sustainable solutions for managing the Allium leafminer. But he needs more help. My amendment will add $1 million into the program helping to save Orange County's onion crop. I urge my colleagues to support this legislation. Mr. ROSE of New York. Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank Chairwoman Lowey for the opportunity to bring this critical amendment to the floor. Her leadership of the Committee is matched only by her commitment to combat the nefarious rise of anti-Semitism around the world, and unfortunately here at home. I encourage my colleagues to support my amendment to the FY2021 State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs appropriations bill, to increase the Diplomatic Policy and Support account by $500,000 in order to double the amount allocated for the Office of the Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism (SEAS), Elan Carr. Over the last year, we've seen an increase in anti-Semitic rhetoric and violence directed against Jewish communities in the United States as well as around the world. In my home city of New York, hate crimes spiked by 72 percent over the same period last year. We've also seen distressing cases of violence, like the terror attacks in Monsey during the celebration of Hanukkah and the assault against a synagogue in Halle, Germany. We've even seen anti-Semites target Jewish Members of Congress like me for daring to stand up to them. It is clear that need to be investing, now more than ever, to monitoring and combatting anti- Semitism wherever it rears its head. The Office of the Special Envoy, and especially Special Envoy Carr, have done incredible work addressing this rise in global anti-Semitism. Yet the office currently has only three dedicated full-time staffers, including the Special Envoy himself, and a number of detailees. The critical work of the Special Envoy and his Assistant Envoys requires the staff and the commensurate budget with which to confront this challenge. By doubling the amount allocated for the office, the Special Envoy will be able to hire more staff, to include specialists and operations support, as well as increase their activities identifying anti-Semitism and sharing best practices with Jewish communities around the world. This amendment will provide a much-needed investment at a critical time for Jews around the world. I urge its inclusion in the House Appropriations package, and thank my colleagues for their support. Ms. JACKSON LEE. Mr. Speaker, I rise to speak in strong support of Jackson Lee Amendments to H.R. 7608, the State, Foreign Operations, Agriculture, Rural Development, Interior, Environment, Military Construction, and Veterans Affairs Appropriations Act.'' I thank Chairman McGovern and Ranking Member Cole for making these Jackson Lee amendments in order for House consideration of H.R. 7608. These Jackson Lee Amendments are straightforward and make the bill even better. I believe they would command the support of a majority of the House and urge my colleagues to vote in favor of them. The amendments are to the following divisions: Division A--Department of State, Foreign Operations; Division B--Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration; and Division C--Department of the Interior, Environment. Division A--Department of State, Foreign Operations Jackson Lee Amendment No. 11 will designate $1,000,000 to combat the trafficking of endangered species. My amendment makes a good bill better by providing a $1 million focus to combat the transportation of the remains of endangered species, to confront the transport of the remains of killed endangered species. The brutal killing of Cecil the lion after being lured off a protected preserve was an indication that we needed to do more to protect endangered species at risk of being killed. [[Page H3805]] At that time, I introduced and sought the support of my colleagues as original cosponsors of my legislation, Cecil the Lion Endangered and Threatened Species Act of 2015. This bill sought to strengthen partner countries' capacity in countering wildlife trafficking and designating major wildlife countries for protection. The amendment offered is in the same spirit: to prohibit the taking and transportation of any endangered and threatened species as a trophy to the United States. Currently, the Endangered Species Act does not protect most wildlife animals killed. At this point, we can choose to make wise decisions that will sustain the global population, or we can ignore the warning signs. I believe this amendment is one that Members can support because it would bring greater awareness and protection to these beautiful and vital populations that are too often taken for granted, by allowing this amendment to address the senseless trafficking in trophy killings of all endangered and threatened species. Jackson Lee Amendment No. 12 provides funds to be allocate funds provided for Global Health Programs to the fight against the practice of Female Genital Mutilation. I have been a dedicated champion against this practice for a long while, even working with former Congressman Joe Crowley of New York to introduce legislation targeted at supporting the elimination of this ludicrous practice of mutilating young women. Female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) comprises all procedures that involve partial or total removal of the external female genitalia, or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons. This practice is rooted in gender inequality and is often linked to other elements of gender-based violence and discrimination, such as child marriage and recognized internationally as a violation of the human rights of women and girls. Unfortunately, this means an estimated 200 million girls and women alive today have been victims of FGM/C, with girls 14 and younger representing 44 million of those who have been cut. For example, consider that: Around the world, at least five girls are mutilated/ cut every hour. More than 3 million girls are estimated to be at risk of FGM/C, annually. The impacts of FGM/C on the physical health of women and girls can include bleeding, infection, obstetric fistula, complications during childbirth and death. Other significant barriers to combatting the practice of FGM/C include the high concentration in specific regions associated with several cultural traditions, that is not tied to any one religion. According to UNICEF, FGM/C is reported to occur in all parts of the world, but is most prevalent in parts of Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. Due to the commonality of this practice many migrants to the U.S. bring the practice of FGM/C with them, increasing the importance of combatting FGM/C abroad. The United Nations adopted a set of 17 Sustainable Development Goals for 2030 that includes a target to eliminate FGM/C and recognizing the abandonment of this harmful practice can be achieved because of a comprehensive movement that involves all public and private stakeholders in society. With these provisions in place and my amendment increasing the funding for foreign assistance we can ensure Female Genital Mutilation/ Cutting (FGM/C), an internationally recognized violation of the human rights of girls and women comes to an end. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) published a report in 2016 estimating that 513,000 women and girls in the United States were at risk or may have been subjected to FGM/C. The presence of FGM/C in the United States brings a sobering truth to light, that we still have much work to do here at home to stop our young women and girls from suffering at the hands of this archaic and utterly unnecessary practice. I am reminded of the story of Hadiatu Jalloh, a 7-year-old from Sierra Leone, who with her mother fled to Houston to seek a life saving operation to rectify complications from the practice of FGM/C from which she suffered for more than a year. Due to complications from the FGM procedure, little Hadiatu could not stop bleeding, she then underwent two additional nonmedical procedures to repair the damage she suffered. However, the bleeding continued and after the second procedure to stop the bleeding, Hadiatu could not properly urinate and suffered terrible pain. In her desperate quest for help, Hadiatu's mother Umu took her daughter across the border to Sierra Leone, but still could not find a doctor to treat Hadiatu. Dr. Hardwick-Smith a world-renowned board certified OBGYN--along with a team led by Houston pediatric urologist Dr. Eric Jones--solved Hadiatu's problem by removing scar tissue during the successful surgery. Stories such like this remind me of the importance of this work, and how can we cannot afford to ignore any instance of FGM/C. And that is why earlier we celebrated the International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation, a multinational effort to bring this practice to an end. That is why my amendment reprograms funding that will be used by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) for elimination of FGM/C. The Jackson Lee Amendment increases funding to expedite the complete and total elimination of FGM/C. I urge support for the Jackson Lee Amendment. Division B--Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration Jackson Lee Amendment No. 45 clarifies that nothing in the bill restricts the authority of the Secretary of Agriculture or any federal agency head from providing assistance and benefits to victims of trafficking as permitted by 22 U.S.C. 7105(b) of the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act of 2000 (114 Stat. 1464, Pub. Law 106-386). Perpetrators of crime know that they are more likely to evade detection and punishment when their victims refuse to assist or cooperate with law enforcement. That is why they make it a point to instill fear in their victims--for their own safety or that of family and loved ones. Human trafficking involves the use of force, fraud, or coercion to obtain some type of labor or commercial sex act. Every year, millions of men, women, and children are trafficked worldwide--including right here in the United States. It can happen in any community and victims can be any age, race, gender, or nationality. Traffickers might use violence, manipulation, or false promises of well-paying jobs or romantic relationships to lure victims into trafficking situations. Language barriers, fear of their traffickers, and/ or fear of law enforcement frequently keep victims from seeking help, making human trafficking a hidden crime. They look for people who are susceptible for a variety of reasons, including psychological or emotional vulnerability, economic hardship, lack of a social safety net, natural disasters, or political instability. The trauma caused by the traffickers can be so great that many may not identify themselves as victims or ask for help, even in highly public settings. Recognizing key indicators of human trafficking and providing support to victims so that traffickers are prosecuted is the first step in ending this crime. Victims are often alone and without resources to survive outside of a trafficker's control. Access to food programs is essential to escaping this terrible existence. I introduced this Jackson Lee amendment to provide food assistance to victims of human trafficking no matter who they are or where they may have come from. Jackson Lee Amendment No. 46 increases funding by $2,000,000 for the USDA agency that provides grant research funding for ``1890s Land Grant Universities,'' which are 28 Historically Black Colleges and Universities. The USDA's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) works to improve our nation's food production through agricultural research, economic analysis, extension, and higher education. The NIFA was created at the time of the industrial revolution to ensure that the nation would have enough working farms to provide a reliable supply of domestically produced food. One of the ways NIFA achieves its mission is by providing research grants to education institutions, which include 1890s institutions created by the Morrill Act of 1890. Today, land-grant colleges and universities can be found in 18 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The list includes: Alabama A&M University, Alcorn State University, Delaware State University, Florida A&M University, Fort Valley State University, Kentucky State University, Langston University, Lincoln University, North Carolina A&T State University, Prairie View A&M University in Texas, South Carolina State University, Southern University System, Tennessee State University, Tuskegee University, University of Arkansas Pine Bluff, University of Maryland Eastern Shore, University of the District of Columbia, University of the Virgin Islands, Virginia State University, West Virginia State University. HBCUs annually enroll 40 percent of all African American students in 4-year colleges and universities. HBCUs are prominent among research institutions in fields such as: animal sciences, sustainable agriculture and agriculture economics, toxicology and waste management, conservation and environmental management, business and industrial development, biomedical [[Page H3806]] science, food and nutrition, plant and social sciences, international development. Research is essential to meeting the food needs of people not only in the United States but around the world. In the U.S. the demand for fresh fruits and vegetables as well as concerns for the distance food travels before, it reaches tables in urban areas has led to more research on how to improve urban farming. Another aspect of research is improving the shelf life of fresh fruits and vegetables to slow the process of spoilage, which has proven to be one of the problems experienced during COVID-19 due to some disruptions caused by food supply chain difficulties. Extending shelf life of fresh fruits, and vegetables would also reduce food waste and improve diets for people on limited incomes by making fresh items will be as economical as canned or frozen. HBCU agriculture research institutions are playing a role in bringing urban farming to communities of color. HCBU's agricultural research programs also assist people living in densely populated areas to learn ways to eliminate food deserts, increase public education regarding farming, develop a greater appreciation for our nation's farmers, and provide new avenues for careers for those graduating with agriculture degrees seeking to enter into cutting edge agricultural research. The funds provided by the Jackson Lee amendment would support research and education into means for helping urban and suburban communities maximize their green space by turning it into productive farming resources to support access to affordable foods. The funding can also help to develop new research efforts directed at reducing food insecurity during a Pandemic or other crises that impact the availability or affordability of food. I ask for your support for these Jackson Lee Amendments. Mr. LYNCH. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of en bloc Amendment No. 1 which includes my amendments number 16 to the State and Foreign Operations division and number 123 to the Military Construction and Veterans Affairs division of the bill. The first of these would provide an additional $1.5 million for counterterrorisrn financing. Our nation is facing unprecedented international challenges including an out-of-control pandemic, a global economic slowdown due to the coronavirus, and stepped up efforts by authoritarian governments to undermine democratic institutions both here and around the world. Unfortunately, these new trials do not diminish the importance of other critical longstanding challenges we have been tackling, including the threat of extremist groups and their terrorist tactics. Indeed, some groups have been trying to take advantage of the coronavirus pandemic to bolster their agendas and attract more recruits. As Chairman of the Oversight National Security Subcommittee and Co- Chair of the Task Force on Terrorism and Proliferation Financing, I have seen how money is a lifeline for these groups. Cutting off financing is key to thwarting their efforts, and the best way to do that is by working with our allies. This additional funding will allow us to work even more closely with even more nations to starve these extremists of the capital they need to disseminate their agenda and carry out terror attacks. My second amendment, number 123, would provide an additional $1.5 million for veterans' suicide prevention through the PREVENTS initiative. We are still seeing a suicide rate among our veterans that is unacceptably and tragically high at one-and-a-half times that of civilians. with women veterans twice as likely to die by suicide as their civilian counterparts. I chaired a National Security Subcommittee hearing last May examining veteran and active-duty military suicides, as well as efforts by the Department of Defense ( DOD) and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to combat this problem. The testimony highlighted the need for comprehensive solutions that span the DOD and the VA, with a focus on high quality healthcare, provider training and education, and access to services and resources. Both the DOD and VA have made significant efforts to provide more services and outreach to prevent suicides among our servicemembers and veterans, but there is always much more that can be done. This additional funding will support public-private partnerships designed to provide greater access to the vital help that can save the lives of our brave men and women after they leave the military. I would like to thank Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Lowey and Ranking member Granger for including these amendments in this en bloc. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 1060, the previous question is ordered on the amendments en bloc offered by the gentlewoman from New York (Mrs. Lowey). The question is on the amendments en bloc. The en bloc amendments were agreed to. A motion to reconsider was laid on the table. Amendments En Bloc No. 2 Offered by Mrs. Lowey of New York Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, pursuant to House Resolution 1060, I offer amendments en bloc. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will designate the amendments en bloc.

Pursuant to House Resolution 1060, the gentlewoman from New York (Mrs. Lowey) and the gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. Granger) each will control 15 minutes. The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from New York. Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from Michigan (Mrs. Dingell), the co-chair of the DPCC. Mrs. DINGELL. Mr. Speaker, I thank the wonderful chair of the Appropriations Committee for yielding. I rise in support of en bloc 2, which includes an important amendment to block the Trump administration's latest attack on the National Environmental Policy Act. For 50 years, NEPA has both protected and fought for the environment and empowered local communities protecting them. In many cases, NEPA provides ordinary Americans the only opportunity to have a voice on major projects, including pipelines or extractive activity like oil and gas drilling that directly impacts their communities. The administration's new NEPA rule both limits the scope of environmental review and exempts entire categories of projects from review all together. Mr. Speaker, the administration's attack on NEPA prioritizes special interests and polluters ahead of the American people and our environmental heritage. I urge my colleagues to support this en bloc amendment and to block this assault on one of our Nation's bedrock environmental laws. Ms. GRANGER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman from Washington (Mr. Newhouse). Mr. NEWHOUSE. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to this group of partisan, antiresource development amendments offered by several House Democrats. These provisions offered on the Interior appropriations bill will hamstring our Nation's efforts to secure our energy independence. Many of these amendments seek to prohibit oil and gas development, and, Mr. Speaker, I have just got to say, it is really quite ironic to see my colleagues who just yesterday voted for sweeping legislation mandating $900 million a year from the oil and gas industry for conservation projects to now, just one day later, not even 24 hours later, offer amendments to restrict the very industry that those projects depend upon. This is hypocrisy, plain and simple. But it is exactly what I shared in a message with my constituents yesterday. Democrats are trying to have their cake and eat it too. From the Green New Deal to Mr. Biden's energy plan to these irresponsible amendments we have here before us, Democrats continue to put forward ideas that are not based in reality and will harm our Nation's energy security. Another partisan amendment seeks to block the recent finalized rule by the Council on Environmental Quality to modernize severely outdated and burdensome National Environmental Policy Act regulations, something that has not been done for 40 years. According to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Unlock American Investment coalition, we are now seeing infrastructure project delays of up to 20 years across our country. This is unacceptable, and it prevents critical repairs and construction of roads, of bridges, of airports, railways, renewable energy projects, even water infrastructure projects in the West and many more things. At a time when American jobs and the economy are facing significant challenges, these provisions threaten our Nation's resiliency, our energy independence, and our ability to recover from this pandemic. Please, Mr. Speaker, vote ``no'' on these amendments. Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Gottheimer). Mr. GOTTHEIMER. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman for yielding and for her incredible leadership. I rise in support of this package, which contains two amendments I have introduced. My first amendment addresses the harmful algal blooms impacting many north Jersey lakes and harming our ecotourism, local businesses, and residents. We need the U.S. Geological Survey to report to Congress on ways to combat toxic HABs like those in Greenwood Lake and Lake Hopatcong. My second amendment prohibits any funds in the bill being used to promote the sale of vaping and dangerous e-cigarette products, which can harm our children. We must do everything we can to help save lives and protect families by combating the youth vaping epidemic. Mr. Speaker, I urge support for this set of amendments. Ms. GRANGER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Perry). Mr. PERRY. Mr. Speaker, I thank the ranking member from Texas (Ms. Granger) for yielding. This amendment would increase, by 100,000, the funding to combat the prevalence of female genital mutilation, FGM, around the world. FGM represents a grave moral evil, irreparably compromising the health and well-being of every woman and girl subjected to it. The practice of FGM occurs in 30 countries, in particular, Egypt, Indonesia, and Ethiopia, and has been performed on more than 200 million women and girls to date. Every year, 3 million more girls are placed at risk, with most of the victims below the age of 15. The long-term effects of FGM are wide ranging, including post- traumatic stress disorder, depression, flashbacks, self-harm, and severe difficulties during labor. In February, an Egyptian doctor was arrested for performing FGM on a 12-year-old girl, resulting in her death, at the instruction of the girl's parents. The doctor conducted the practice without any anesthesia and without having the appropriate surgeon qualifications. To be clear, this is not an isolated case. Egypt has banned the practice of FGM since 2008 and criminalized it in 2016. The fact that it still happens to an overwhelming number of young girls in that country, despite the strict legal measures, illustrates the massive scope of this problem and the immense work remaining for each of us The U.S. must be unequivocal in condemning this disgusting, horrific practice and lead the world in calling for it to end, and I urge my colleagues to support this amendment. Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Foster.) [[Page H3816]] Mr. FOSTER. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. My amendment directs the State Department to use $10 million from the NADR account to fund a major science facility in Jordan called SESAME, or the Synchrotron-light for Experimental Science and Application in the Middle East. SESAME is a cooperative venture by scientists and governments throughout the region, including Israel, Iran, and everyone in between. Science is a universal language that can cross barriers, and SESAME has the potential to be that bridge in an area where very few exist. The U.S. support would strengthen collaboration and provide encouragement for all of the countries in the region. I urge my colleagues to join me and vote ``yes'' on this en bloc package. Ms. GRANGER. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time. Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, before I introduce the next speaker, I just want to say a few words about SESAME, because it is an extraordinary project, and I thank the gentleman for bringing it to this body's attention. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. Cohen). {time} 1600 Mr. COHEN. Mr. Speaker, I thank Chairman Lowey for yielding. I appreciate the opportunity to speak. In this en bloc amendment, there are four amendments that I offered. I have offered them for 4 years. They have been accepted, now, for 2 years. They are emoluments amendments. They will say we can't spend money at businesses that the President owns. Well, we shouldn't. No President should be in the business of getting money from the government, and it wasn't until Donald Trump became President that this became a problem. He does it at his hotels. He does it at his golf clubs. He has done it having airplanes stop at different airports than they normally do for refueling so they will end up having to spend the night at his golf club in Scotland. And recently, it came up that he asked his Ambassador to England to get one of his golf clubs in Scotland the opportunity to host the British Open and make a ton of money. The Presidency should be about serving the country and serving the people and supporting democracy, not about supporting yourself and putting money in your pocket. Ms. GRANGER. Mr. Speaker, I urge a ``no'' vote on this en bloc package, and I yield back the balance of my time. Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. Jackson Lee). Ms. JACKSON LEE. Mr. Speaker, first of all, I thank the gentlewoman for her generosity and for recognizing the importance of the work that we are doing. Mr. Speaker, I want to speak to my amendments and thank the Rules Committee for these amendments. I guess I have to speak very quickly. We have been committed over the years to stopping the trafficking of endangered species, and I am glad that I have established a focus on protecting the endangered species like Cecil the lion. Mr. Speaker, I thank the Rules Committee for that amendment, as well as the amendment that I have been working on for many years to stop female genital mutilation, to highlight the extensive amount of mutilation in developing nations across the world. I was also very pleased to have an amendment that provided for the authority of the Secretary of Agriculture or any Federal agency, to stop them from eliminating assistance and benefits to victims of trafficking as permitted by 22 U.S.C. 7105. We know that victims of human trafficking are the most vulnerable, and my city of Houston has been the epicenter of human trafficking. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentlewoman has expired. Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield an additional 1 minute to the gentlewoman from Texas. Ms. JACKSON LEE. Mr. Speaker, I want to also applaud the fact that I was able to get an amendment in that increases the funding by $2 million, through the U.S. Department of Agriculture, for the 1890s land-grant colleges, which are 28 historically Black colleges. It helps those who are in food deserts. And, Mr. Speaker, my district has now some percentage of COVID-19 who are, in essence, underwater, suffering, and food distribution, or the lack of food, is very evident. We have suffered in my region with toxic poisoning from chemicals, and we now have $5 million that has been in the Department of the Interior to highlight the need to support culturally competent Federal, State, and local public health and environmental protection efforts. Mr. Speaker, I want to say to Fifth Ward Texas that they have been heard in the Halls of the United States Congress; they will not any longer be contaminated by creosote and having the numbers of cancers that they have experienced, as I have knocked on doors and had people telling me about their families dying because the railroad's creosote contaminated their backyards and the trees that they grew and the fruit that they grew. How horrendous that we would have that. I am very glad that our amendments were included in this legislation. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentlewoman has again expired. Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield an additional 30 seconds to the gentlewoman from Texas. Ms. JACKSON LEE. Mr. Speaker, the chairwoman has been enormously gracious for me to be able to conclude my remarks by indicating again the importance of the historically Black colleges getting an extra $2 million; emphasizing that Fifth Ward Texas, the home of Barbara Jordan and Mickey Leland, older neighborhoods in the historically minority communities, won't suffer any longer by toxic poisoning because of chemicals that have been placed without care; and to be able to thank them, as well, for taking care of the endangered species and those who are trafficked and those, as well, with female genital mutilation. Mr. Speaker, I close my remarks by simply saying the COVID-19 dollars are needed. I thank the chairwoman for that. We are suffering in Houston, and we are going to fight to stop community spread by more testing, more testing, more testing. Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from California (Mr. Carbajal). Mr. CARBAJAL. Mr. Speaker, I thank Chairwoman Lowey for yielding to me. I rise in support of an amendment that includes a provision I coauthored with Representative Panetta to send a clear message to this administration that our public lands are not for sale. We will not put the interests of Big Oil over our people and sit idly by as the Trump administration seeks to open up the Carrizo Plain National Monument and other public lands in my district for oil and gas development. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes.'' Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. Mr. GRIJALVA. Mr. Speaker, my amendment will direct $4,000,000 within the International Border and Water Commission to clarify the responsibility for the maintenance of the International Outfall Interceptor (IOI). This is in addition to, and separate from, the funding that currently exists for the long overdue repairs to the IOI. The International Outfall Interceptor is the infrastructure that transports wastewater from Sonora, Mexico and Arizona to the Nogales International Wastewater Treatment Plant. The IOI pipeline covers approximately 8.5 miles. Under a 1944 water utilization treaty, Mexico can treat water in the United States. The International Border and Water Commission is tasked with managing international infrastructure negotiations and operates the Nogales International Sanitation Project. On average, 92 percent of the water treated daily at the Nogales International Wastewater Treatment Plant is from Mexico and 8 percent from the surrounding community. Unfortunately, due to damage and aging infrastructure, the International Outfall Interceptor needs costly and urgent repairs. Wastewater constantly emerges from the IOI and pollutes surrounding rivers and streams. Rains carry the polluted stormwater into Nogales, Arizona and exposes downstream populations to extraordinary public health risk. In 2017, I called on the Governor of Arizona to commence the Disaster Declaration process for the State of Arizona to secure immediate federal assistance to remedy and prevent raw sewage exposure to Arizona residents. [[Page H3817]] Every year during the monsoon season the health of residents along the Arizona southern border are put at risk, due to this ongoing issue. While Arizona residents are very familiar with this issue, other communities along the United States-Mexico border experience similar health risks due to similar issues. The IBWC has finalized engineering plans and already identified an existing $34.2 million to begin the urgent repairs to the IOI. My amendment further directs $4,000,000 within the International Border and Water Commission to clarify the responsibility to sustain the maintenance and operation of the International Outfall Interceptor (IOI). This has been an ongoing international issue that impacts the safety and well-being of communities across Southern Arizona. In the past, Senators and Member of Congress on both sides of the aisle of the Arizona delegation have collaborated to remedy the situation. I would like to thank Senator McSally for championing this issue in the Senate. I would like to thank the Chairwoman and the committee for their work on this bill. I appreciate the opportunity to speak on this amendment, and I would urge all my colleagues to support this amendment. We must finally find a solution to protect the health of residents along the United States-Mexico border. Mr. COX of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to advocate for amendment No. 33 to H.R. 7608, the Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2021. My colleagues on both sides of the aisle have come together to support this amendment, which should appropriate $1.4 million in foreign aid for ongoing humanitarian demining in Nagorno Karabakh-- Artsakh. USAID's demining program has eliminated nearly 4,000 landmines and over 57,000 items of unexploded ordnance, saving many lives from these remnants of war. The program has also transformed over 62,000 acres of former minefield and battlefield into land that can be used productively. However, we know that significant landmine contamination remains. Nagomo Karabakh has suffered from one of the worst mine accident rates in the world, with nearly 400 civilian casualties since 1994--a quarter of which have been children. Just last month an 11-year old boy named Hovannes found a submunition while digging in his family's garden. Because Hovannes had received U.S.-funded mine risk education about how to identify the weapon and stay safe, he told his family about the item, who contacted the U.S. demining program. The submunition was safely removed the next day. Continued funding for the demining program will unquestionably save lives and generate peace and stability in the region. The United States' demining program in Nagomo Karabakh represents the only source of U.S. support in the region, and the only demining assistance available to the families of Karabakh. Without an appropriation of $1.4 million, the U.S. demining program will close, and families in the region, who are still waiting for their land to be made safe, will suffer indefinitely--families that are of utmost importance to the many Armenian American communities in my district and throughout our nation. Landmine clearance is a bipartisan U.S. priority that will provide critical humanitarian relief to countless families in Nagomo Karabakh who continue to live in constant threat of danger. I urge my colleagues to support this amendment and help provide much needed stability to this region, while continuing to support a constructive relationship between the U.S., Nagomo Karabakh, and Armenia. Mr. ROUDA. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of my amendment to H.R. 7608, which highlights the contributions of Vietnamese, Laotian, and Cambodian immigrants and discourages attempts to increase repatriations to those countries. In 2008, the United States reached a formal agreement with Vietnam which contains specific restrictions on the repatriation of certain individuals to Vietnam. Under this agreement, any Vietnamese national who arrived in the United States before our two nations established formal diplomatic relations on July 12, 1995 is barred from being repatriated to Vietnam. This provision benefits our communities by keeping families together and allowing people who have lived here for decades to continue making a positive impact on their communities. Under this Administration, there has been a renewed push to increase deportations to Southeast Asian countries, including the weaponization of visa sanctions to unilaterally push for broadened repatriation agreements. I am proud to represent a community where we honor the thousands of men, women, and children who arrived in the United States after the Vietnam War in search of a better life, and I call upon this Administration to cease attempts to renegotiate repatriation agreements to allow for greater numbers of repatriations to these countries. I would like to thank Chairwoman Lowey and the House Committee on Appropriations for including report language we requested to prevent the use of funds to negotiate or enter into an agreement with the Governments of Laos or Vietnam for the repatriation of these individuals. I also would like to thank my colleagues, Representatives Alan Lowenthal, Lou Correa, and Zoe Lofgren, for their support of this amendment and their continued hard work on behalf of Vietnamese and Southeast Asian American communities. Ms. JACKSON LEE. Mr. Speaker, I rise to speak in strong support of Jackson Lee Amendment No. 84 to H.R. 7608, the State, Foreign Operations, Agriculture, Rural Development, Interior, Environment, Military Construction, and Veterans Affairs Appropriations Act. I thank Chairman McGovern and Ranking Member Cole for making this Jackson Lee amendment in order for House consideration of H.R. 7608. This Jackson Lee Amendment is straightforward and makes the bill even better. I believe they would command the support of a majority of the House and urge my colleagues to vote in favor of them. The amendment is to Division C--Department of the Interior, Environment. Jackson Lee Amendment No. 84 provides $5 million to highlight the need to support culturally competent federal, state, and local public health and environmental protection efforts to address cancer clusters impacting overburdened communities in the gulf coast region, which is home to a refinery row that runs from Mobile to Houston Texas. In the 18th Congressional District Creosote contamination in my district has had long term consequences for the residents of the 5th Ward. I have worked for years to address Environmental Justice issues in and around my District, by bringing agencies and communities together for meaningful dialogues. In April of 2019, I held a meeting between residents, local public health and Union Pacific Railroad regarding contamination in the 5th Ward area of Houston. Predecessor R.R. was South Pacific The meeting was to discuss letters that Union Pacific sent to residents informing them that they could not dig water wells in their yards due to creosote contamination. During this meeting residents expressed frustration at not getting questions answered regarding their concerns about the safety of water and soil due to the contamination and the alarming number of cancers occurring among residents. After hearing the discussion, I asked about a study to investigate the situation and provide answers to residents. A cancer cluster study was performed by the Texas Department of State Health Services and found that there is a higher incidence of certain types of cancers and cancer deaths among residents of Kashmere Gardens and the Fifth Ward. Southern Pacific operated the open pit of creosote in the residential area that treated railroad ties and light post for decades. Southern Pacific was acquired by Union Pacific, which continued to operate a wood treatment facility, dipping railroad ties in the preservative creosote. The creosote emitted fumes, leached into the soil and ran through ditches when it rained or flooded. Union Pacific closed their creosote treatment capacity, but the damage remained, because creosote is comprised of chemicals that in combination are listed as a hazardous substance by the Environmental Protection Agency. To address the contamination Union Pacific requested and approved largely to leave the contamination in the ground without pursuing more extensive cleanup efforts, which has left residents battling to get regulators to force the company to take more responsibility for the thick mass of creosote that lurks beneath their properties. These residents are right--the soil and water are killing them with cancer and Union Pacific has got to take strong action to remove this clear health threat that is causing cancers of the: Lung and Bronchus; Esophagus; Larynx (throat); Liver; and Acute Myeloid Leukemia. Rare is the case that a community meeting results in such a profound finding that and exposed an urgent need that should be addressed given the science behind the causes of cancer and the steps that much be taken to limit risks. There are other communities throughout the Gulf Coast that may have creosote contamination linked to old railroad lines that may not be given the level of attention needed to address health risks. Funding provided by this amendment will provide resources for those communities with cancer clusters. [[Page H3818]] I ask for your support for this Jackson Lee Amendment, which is needed to save lives. Mr. LYNCH. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of en bloc Amendment No. 2 which includes my amendment number 17 to the State and Foreign Operations division to provide an additional $5 million for U.S. demining activities. Mr. Speaker, antipersonnel landmines continue to injure and kill thousands of men. women. and children every year. These devices arc indiscriminate and can explode years or even decades after wars are ended and peace agreements are signed. All it takes is for a car to pass or a person to walk over the wrong place at the wrong time to devastate a life and a family. Thankfully, there are a number of humanitarian organizations that arc working tirelessly to find and safely remove these explosives. Unfortunately, despite their valiant efforts, there still remain many more antipersonnel landmines to be found and neutralized. I have had the opportunity to examine the impact of landmines in places like Lebanon, Somalia and Egypt, and believe that the United States has a moral obligation to do all it can to support demining efforts, and that is why I sought this increase. I was proud to work with the Appropriations Committee in 2006 to get an increase of $10 million to the State Department's Humanitarian Demining account and am grateful that it has accepted my amendment for an increase of $5 million to this year's appropriations bill. This additional funding will save countless more lives and spare thousands from having to live with devastating injuries. I would like to thank Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Lowey and Ranking member Granger for including this amendment in the en bloc. The SPEAKER pro tempore.

Pursuant to House Resolution 1060, the gentlewoman from New York (Mrs. Lowey) and the gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. Granger) each will control 15 minutes. The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from New York. Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time. Ms. GRANGER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Wilson). Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. Granger), the ranking member, for yielding. I rise today in support of my amendment to enhance conditions on our aid to the Lebanese Armed Forces, LAF. Mr. Speaker, Lebanon has historically been an appreciated partner of the United States in the Middle East and a wonderful example of pluralism and democracy. Having witnessed decades of occupation by the brutal Assad regime in Syria, father and son, Lebanon saw the withdrawal of Syrian troops in 2005 after the Lebanese people rose up in the March 15 Cedar Revolution to demand their sovereignty and freedom. Unfortunately, however, the gains made by the Cedar Revolution have been lost in recent years. The Lebanese people continue to protest in the streets for their rights to a democratic, nonsectarian, noncorrupt government. However, disturbingly, the LAF have worked to put down the protests, arresting protesters and committing human rights violations. The LAF has also done nothing as Hezbollah builds precision-guided missiles and cross-border tunnel infrastructure to attack Israel in defiance of U.S. resolutions; yet, U.S. taxpayers continue to fund the LAF with over $100 million each year. This aid was surely warranted in previous years during previous Lebanese Governments, but with the new government, the situation has changed, and U.S. policies should change accordingly. [[Page H3819]] It is time to stand with the people of Lebanon and Syria and ensure that U.S. tax dollars are not going to a military hijacked by a terrorist organization and committing human rights violations. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support my amendment. Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume, and I claim time in opposition. There are many things in this en bloc that I oppose, and I could speak to each issue, but I want to reserve my comments for the attack on climate change. Most of us, even my friends across the aisle, agree that climate change is a real global threat. Our military also believes this. I cannot emphasize enough that climate change is exacerbating the root causes of conflict. We will see an increasing demand on our humanitarian aid and other resources if we do not address it now. Prohibiting U.S. contributions to the multilaterals that combat climate change is a shortsighted, harmful policy that does not prepare our country to face this threat. We cannot afford to stand idly by while others address climate change. We already feel its effects. We should not be alienating multilateral partners. We need to join the fight. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time. Ms. GRANGER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Arizona (Mr. Gosar). Mr. GOSAR. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. Granger) for yielding and for all her hard work on the committee. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of this en bloc package. I particularly want to highlight my two amendments, both of which protect integral Trump administration executive orders. The first protects Executive Order 13807, which pertains to streamlining environmental review and permitting processes for infrastructure projects. This executive order was the basis for new NEPA regulations that the Trump administration announced just last week. Mr. Speaker, we need to get back to building things in this country. It seems every week is like groundhog week, it is infrastructure week, but if we are serious about addressing the problems with our aging infrastructure, we must get serious about modernizing outdated processes that unnecessarily slow down infrastructure projects. Whether it is offshore wind, building electrical transition lines, or building solar energy projects on public lands, outdated regulations cause countless delays and cancellations of these important projects, costing jobs and economic opportunity for our constituents. My second amendment protects Executive Order 13817, which directs the Federal Government to develop a strategy to ensure a secure and reliable supply of critical minerals. The facts are, Mr. Speaker, that we are completely reliant on China for 20 critical minerals that go into producing everything from parts for fighter jets to cellphones. Cobalt is a great example of the dangers of becoming reliant on China to meet these mineral needs. Sixty percent of the cobalt supply is mined in the Congo, where abhorrent child labor practices are well documented, and China now controls at least half of all cobalt production in that country. Fortunately, the proposed Twin Metals mine would serve as a rare source of domestic cobalt, but, of course, my colleagues aim to shut that project down as well by including language in this bill aimed at preventing this project. Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to wake up and face the facts. We must harvest our own domestic resources and ingenuity before it is too late. Our long-term economic, energy, and national security depend upon it, even the climate change the gentlewoman from New York (Mrs. Lowey) talked about. Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from California (Mr. Panetta). Mr. PANETTA. Mr. Speaker, I thank Chairwoman Lowey for yielding. I rise today to offer an amendment to prohibit funds from being used to open up new Federal lands to oil and gas drilling in my and my neighboring district on the central coast of California. Based on recent orders, this administration would use those Federal lands to extract natural resources rather than explore their natural wonders. In my district, our economy and well-being are intrinsically tied to our environment. That is why we have taken critical steps to invest in clean infrastructure rather than new leases for fossil fuels. That is because we feel strongly that our public lands are not disposable and should not be disrupted. That is why I offered this amendment, and that is why I will continue to fight to safeguard our Federal public lands. {time} 1615 Ms. GRANGER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Duncan). (Mr. DUNCAN asked and was given permission to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. DUNCAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of my amendment which strikes harmful language in the underlying bill that would prevent any funding to be used by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to process permits for lawfully sport-hunted trophies from the countries of Tanzania, Zimbabwe, or Zambia. Sportsmen groups and conservation groups, both here at home in America and internationally, all agree that well-regulated hunting in the countries affected by the shortsighted language found in section 436 of the underlying bill, is just reckless pandering to special- interest animal rights groups. The irony is this language will have an adverse effect and hurt populations of the remaining wild lions and elephants which these emotionally driven, science deniers claim to be advocating for. But what about those who live and work in the countries affected by this legislation? How do they feel about this Congress mindlessly targeting their livelihoods? Well, it may come as a great shock to those on the other side of the aisle, but just this week a letter was sent to the Speaker of the House by local representatives of millions of rural Africans who object to this attack on their basic human right to sustainably use their natural resources on which their communities' livelihoods depend. They understand, better than the folks here in this body, that sustainable hunting practices which they utilize lead not only to benefits for their wildlife populations and their ecosystems, but to the betterment of their fellow man and their communities. In many cases, the population of these species exceed the carrying capacity of their habitats. If left unmanaged, they threaten the viable habitats as well as the safety of humans in these rural areas. Experts, including scientific and management authorities in those countries, the parties to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, the International Union for Conservation of Nature, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, credit sustainable hunting programs as a cornerstone of the successful conservation and wildlife management strategies that are responsible for these wildlife populations. Any law that discourages, rather than facilitates, these hunting programs will have an adverse impact on sound ecosystem conservation. The language, which this amendment will strike, is not backed by science. To the contrary, the best conservation science clearly shows that populations of lions and elephants in the affected countries are some of the highest found anywhere on the entire continent. Mr. Speaker, it is for these reasons I urge adoption of this amendment. Mrs. LOWEY. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from Florida (Ms. Wasserman Schultz), the chairwoman of the Subcommittee on Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies. Ms. WASSERMAN SCHULTZ. Madam Speaker, I would like to take a moment to address Congresswoman Miller and Congressman King's amendments in the en bloc. Their amendments would strike provisions of the bill that block the administration from diverting funds from critical military construction projects to the border wall. [[Page H3820]] The bill also prohibits the administration from backfilling projects in fiscal years 2016 to 2020 that were previously canceled for construction of the border wall, and the amendments strike that provision as well. Stealing military construction funds from the intended purpose has a direct impact on military readiness, compromises our national security, and the safety and welfare of servicemembers and their families. Thirty percent of the Department of Defense infrastructure, according to the Department of Defense, is in poor or failing condition. The military construction funds provided and approved by Congress were intended for specific projects as requested by the services. To support these two amendments is to declare that catering to xenophobia is more important than making sure we have the best fighting force in the world. The amendments in question seek to grant the President the power of a monarch and allow him to steal funding from our troops and bypass Congress at will. I thought Mexico was supposed to pay for the border wall. Instead, these amendments ask our heroes in uniform to pay for it. We have to take a stand against that, and we do that in this bill. We stand up for our troops. These amendments steal from our troops. I ask my colleagues to vote against the en bloc amendment. Ms. GRANGER. Madam Speaker, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentlewoman from West Virginia (Mrs. Miller). Mrs. MILLER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to speak in favor of three amendments I have submitted in the Republican en bloc. An amendment to stop my colleagues across the aisle from cutting funding for our border wall. We still have a crisis on our southern border, and we need to stop illegal drugs from entering our country. An amendment to support innovation in the gas industry. American energy is clean, affordable, and efficient. We must capitalize on our American energy dominance to rebuild our economy, expand trade, and create stable jobs. And an amendment to make sure our police remain funded. We cannot let our liberal colleagues defund the police. This overcorrection will lead our country to a dark place. Our police officers protect our communities and keep us safe. I am proud to support our police. Mrs. LOWEY. Madam Speaker, I yield 30 seconds to the gentlewoman from Michigan (Ms. Tlaib). Welcome to her children, too. Ms. TLAIB. Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of my amendment, which increases funds for lead drinking water pipe replacement by $500 million, to a total of $1 billion. This amendment is an investment to remove the 6 to 10 million lead service lines that contaminate our tap water across our Nation, and the over 600,000 lines alone in Michigan. Contaminated water is a fact of life for Michigan's 13th Congressional District. Too many of our families and communities are suffering, and it is time we step up our investments to guarantee environmental justice for all. I thank Chairwoman McCollum for working with me on this amendment to secure historic funding to replace lead pipes. And I also thank my colleagues, Representatives Kildee and Slotkin for their partnership on this. Ms. GRANGER. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from North Dakota (Mr. Armstrong). Mr. ARMSTRONG. Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of Representative Duncan's amendment to strike from the bill section 436, which prohibits the issuance of an import permit for a sport-hunted trophy of an elephant or lion taken in Tanzania, Zimbabwe, or Zambia. Simply put, this import prohibition would harm the economic development of African countries and put the wildlife and habitat in those countries at risk. This is exactly what the Zambian Foreign Minister told me when I met with him: Regulated, sustainable hunting can be used for economic development just like any other natural resource. And in the vast majority of instances, hunting revenue and game fees are the greatest and most accessible asset for rural people. By creating a market for regulated hunting of these animals, African countries promote conservation and undermine incentives for illegal poaching. A U.S. import ban undermines those markets in African countries, which perpetuates unsustainable poaching, underground markets, poverty, and economic underdevelopment. The individuals who seek to prevent African countries from responsibly using their natural resources are the same who strive to end the production of agriculture in States like North Dakota. They impart a flawed moral view on others without understanding the economic and cultural ramifications that harm the communities that produce these resources. It is paternalistic and, quite frankly, it is condescending and, in fact, counterproductive to a robust conservation of the magnificent animals and the habitat in which those animals live. Hunters and sportsmen are truly the world's best conservationists, and the resources we deploy go toward anti-poaching programs; defend against destruction of vital habitat; and incentivize local communities to come together to protect their wildlife. I urge the adoption of the Duncan amendment, which will promote sustainable hunting markets with African countries. Mrs. LOWEY. Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time. Ms. GRANGER. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Perry). Mr. PERRY. Madam Speaker, I thank the ranking member, Ms. Granger from Texas. I have three amendments included in this en bloc amendment. The first one prohibits any funds in the State and Foreign Ops Division from being provided to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, UNRWA. In 2018, President Trump made the correct decision to defund UNRWA. Unfortunately, this bill seeks to reverse course and provide funding to this organization. I remind everybody, this organization, rather than pursuing its mission, chooses to foster and promote and anti-Semitism and violence against Israelis. In spite of repeated demands by the U.S., UNRWA continues this kind of abhorrent behavior. The second amendment prohibits the EPA from using funds in this bill to take retaliatory actions against States that fall short of the EPA- mandated Chesapeake Bay TMDL. In 2010, the EPA seized the States' authority to determine their own method of compliance and threatened to take over the water quality plans if the States failed to comply. These coercive measures have been tried and have failed. Water quality has not improved since the federalization of the Bay clean-up efforts. Preventing EPA from taking retaliatory action is imperative to the success of these efforts. The final one prohibits the EPA from using funds pursuant to Section 115 of the Clean Air Act. Section 115 of the Clean Air Act allows the EPA to mandate State emissions levels to whatever level the agency deems appropriate: if they find emissions endanger a foreign nation; and the endangered nation has a reciprocal agreement to prevent or control these emissions in their own nation. I urge adoption of these amendments. Mrs. LOWEY. Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time. Ms. GRANGER. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Missouri (Mr. Smith). Mr. SMITH of Missouri. Madam Speaker, on the last day of the Obama- Biden administration, Fish and Wildlife issued a ``Director's Order'' setting in place an almost total ban on lead ammunition and tackle on Federal lands. While Fish and Wildlife claimed that the rule was based on science, we know clearly it was not. The decision by the Obama-Biden administration was made solely to limit access to public land of sportsmen and fishermen. As soon as I was made aware of this midnight rule, I worked with the incoming Trump administration to get it overturned. Fortunately, President [[Page H3821]] Trump acted quickly to undo this disastrous order. And since then he has only taken steps to increase access to public lands for sportsmen and fishermen alike. Since President Trump's actions, Congress has taken additional steps to prevent the regulation of ammunition and tackle for sportsmen. Unfortunately, Democrats have decided to abandon the precedent. My amendment simply reinstates a policy that Congress has carried in a bipartisan fashion for the past several years and continues support for the rights of sportsmen to access public land for recreational purposes. I urge my colleagues to adopt the amendment. Mrs. LOWEY. Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time. Ms. GRANGER. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Iowa (Mr. King). Mr. KING of Iowa. Madam Speaker, I rise in support of my amendment. What it does is, it sees that in the underlying legislation there is language that strikes the President's ability to use the resources within the Department of Defense budget to build a wall or a road along the southern border. It would be a mistake to take that language out and--to have that language in there. We need to take the language out and let the President have the discretion to make these decisions. He has a mandate from the American people. The southern border is such a risk that 80 to 90 percent of the illegal drugs coming through into the United States come from or through Mexico; 70,000 drug overdose deaths; the violence that comes from it; tens of millions of illegal aliens in America, and we have seen unemployment numbers in this country as high as 40 million throughout this COVID epidemic. So to tie the President's hands and to take away the resources he has in front of him now, because it essentially says, no funds heretofore appropriated may be used either for a wall or a road. I would say also that I came to this floor and from this very podium in 2006 with a model that demonstrated how easy it was to build a wall on the southern border. It is cost effective, and it preserves our security. This amendment gives the President back the authority to continue the construction of the wall. Madam Speaker, I urge its adoption. {time} 1630 Ms. GRANGER. Madam Speaker, I urge a ``yes'' vote, and I yield back the balance of my time. Mrs. LOWEY. Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Ms. Ocasio-Cortez).

It is now in order to consider amendment No. 62 printed in House Report 116-459. Mr. ALLEN. Madam Speaker, I have an amendment at the desk. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of division C (before the short title), insert the following: Sec. ___. Each amount made available by this Act (other than an amount required to be made available by a provision of law) is hereby reduced by 5 percent. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 1060, the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Allen) and a Member opposed each will control 5 minutes. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Georgia. Mr. ALLEN. Madam Speaker, this bill that we are debating here is a partisan travesty and spends entirely more than this government can afford. That is why I rise again today to offer an amendment to cut spending to the Interior and Environment portion of the bill. In addition to its overspending, this bill attempts to delegitimize President Trump's replacement for the Obama administration's overreaching WOTUS rule. The farmers and landowners in my district will tell you how devastating that would be. It continues down the path that the far left have been touting this entire Congress, implementing socialist Green New Deal policies disguised as emergency funding, but this couldn't be further from the truth. This bill not only spends more of Americans' taxpayer dollars, but forces others to spend more, forcing onerous regulations on American business owners that would ultimately lead to higher costs for our American families. Continuing to adhere to the Obama administration's outdated and repressive regulations would be detrimental not only to the energy sector workers, but to millions of American families whose budgets depend on affordable and reliable fuel and natural gas, and would jeopardize America's energy independence. Today's minibus totals $219.6 billion in discretionary spending, plus another $37.5 billion in emergency spending, busting the budget agreement and increasing funds in the form of BCA cap-exempt funding, with almost a third of the funding of this division not subject to the BCA caps. And let me remind you that under the Democratic majority, we can't [[Page H3824]] even stick to the budget that was agreed to. The Interior and Environment division would provide funding at a whopping 41.4 percent above the fiscal year 2020 enacted level and 59 percent over the President's request. While the President's budget proposed to reduce or eliminate programs in the EPA that are better left to States, communities, and private individuals, the House's proposal for Interior and Environment maintains or increases spending on EPA programs. I am a former business owner, and just like any good business owner or family knows, you must operate within a budget and make tough choices to live within your means. As Members of the people's House, we must hold ourselves to the same standard that American workers and families do. My simple amendment is a good place to start. {time} 1845 My amendment would reduce interior and environmental spending by 5 percent for fiscal year 2021. I am going to do some quick math for you. My amendment would cut about $2.7 billion. Even with my 5 percent cut, this division would still dramatically increase spending for fiscal year 2021 compared to fiscal year 2020. To be honest, I wish we could cut more, but this is a place that I believe we can start. Even with my amendment, we still will be spending a lot of taxpayer dollars, so I believe my Democratic colleagues could easily support this. Our national debt crisis can no longer be ignored, and my colleagues must take a serious look at Washington spending in order to start taking back control. Madam Speaker, earlier today I mentioned my 13 beautiful grandchildren, and I am excited that we have another one on the way. I believe it is all of our duties to do everything possible to avoid placing a $26 trillion, and growing, national debt burden on the backs of the next generation. My amendment is just a small, first step toward bringing fiscal responsibility back to Washington. I urge all of my colleagues in this body to support my amendment today. Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time. Ms. McCOLLUM. Madam Speaker, I claim the time in opposition to the amendment. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman from Minnesota is recognized for 5 minutes. Ms. McCOLLUM. Madam Speaker, this amendment indiscriminately cuts programs in this bill, not giving one bit of thought to the merit of the program within the bill that it would cut. For instance, it would cut--well, it would cut the Indian Health Service, and that would mean fewer patients seen, especially during the COVID pandemic, which we know has affected the Native American population in a very dramatic, painful, and hurtful way. It would mean fewer safety inspectors, ensuring that accidents and oil spills do not occur, which means endangering the lives of oil rig workers and our environment. It would worsen our Nation's drinking water and sanitation infrastructure deferred maintenance problem, which means more children would be exposed to lead in their drinking water. More generally, investments in our environmental infrastructure and our public lands would be halted, and the associated jobs would be lost, jobs Americans desperately need. More importantly, this amendment, as I said, would contribute to lives being lost in Indian Country. And I do not say that lightly, Madam Speaker. Tribes are being particularly hard-hit by the coronavirus, and this amendment would only compound the problem. And let me tell you a little more about what critical programs would be cut in Indian Country. It would mean cuts to basic healthcare and diabetes programs. It would mean cuts to child and maternal health. As we know, our Native brothers and sisters--my Native sisters in particular, suffer high infant mortality rates. It would mean cuts to mental health service at a time when this population in our country, the indigenous people, who were here first, would be suffering even more than they are today with the mental health crisis, as they cannot go to their customs and traditions when mourning the loss of lives because of not being able to gather. It has been a nonpartisan goal of the Committee on Appropriations--a nonpartisan goal of this entire body--to work to improve the health status of our Native American brothers and sisters. This amendment guts those efforts. It will set Indiana Country back. I dare say, it could set Indian Country back by decades, because we have so much more work to do to address the health disparity. This amendment would not encourage agencies to do more with less. It would simply force agencies, and especially those serving our Native American Nations, to do less for their Tribal members, less healthcare. So I urge Members to strongly oppose this amendment, and I reserve the balance of my time. Mr. ALLEN. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Madam Speaker, let me try to understand what we are saying here. We have a $25 trillion or $26 trillion and growing debt in this country. I mean, is there no concern for future generations? And when you look at the explosion of this debt--I mean, when I saw the appropriations package, I could not believe it. I mean, we can't even live within a budget? I mean, what kind of message are we sending to our children and grandchildren here? We can't leave them with an insurmountable debt simply because we as a body refuse to take some commonsense steps to take back control of this spending. We can't even cut 5 percent? I am deeply concerned about the future of this country, and I urge a ``yes'' vote on my amendment today. Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. Ms. McCOLLUM. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Madam Speaker, once again, this is an across-the-board indiscriminate cut. We all might agree that there are programs and activities that take place in these bills that we could see a cut with. But this is an across-the-board 5 percent cut, which will deeply, deeply affect the gains that we have been struggling to make in a nonpartisan way in Indian Country, and I simply cannot be silent while that happens. We have to do what we can do to make sure that the treaty and obligations that this United States Government entered into with the First Nations, who were here first, are honored, and part of that is healthcare. Madam Speaker, I ask others to join me to oppose this amendment, which if passed, will harm the American people and do, in my opinion, irreparable damage to the healthcare and education of our Native American brothers and sisters. I oppose this amendment. I encourage my colleagues to join me. Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 1060, the previous question is ordered on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Allen). The question is on the amendment. The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that the noes appear to have it. Mr. ALLEN. Madam Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3 of House Resolution 965, the yeas and nays are ordered. Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, further proceedings on this question are postponed. The Chair understands that amendment No. 66 will not be offered. Amendment No. 67 offered by Mr. Tonko The SPEAKER pro tempore. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 67 printed in House Report 116-459. Mr. TONKO. Madam Speaker, as the designee of Ms. Blunt Rochester, I have an amendment at the desk. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of division C of the bill (before the short title) insert the following: Sec. __. None of the funds made available by this Act may be used to finalize, implement, or enforce the proposed rule titled ``Review of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Particulate Matter'' published in the Federal Register by the Environmental Protection Agency on April 30, 2020 (85 Fed. Reg. 24094 et seq.). [[Page H3825]] The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 1060, the gentleman from New York (Mr. Tonko) and a Member opposed each will control 5 minutes. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from New York. Mr. TONKO. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Madam Speaker, I rise today as the designee of my very good friend, Congresswoman Blunt Rochester, to offer and support this amendment. Every person deserves to breathe clean air. As we battle a global public health pandemic, that truth could not be more important. Time and time again, the administration has chosen to ignore the latest public health science, allowing our air to remain polluted and our communities to be less safe. The EPA's most recent failure to propose air quality standards that will protect human health is unacceptable, and it will put tens of thousands of lives at risk. Fine particulate matter, commonly known as soot, is a dangerous pollutant. In particular, it puts low wealth and communities of color at greatest risk. These are the communities that are already experiencing staggering death rates from COVID-19, made worse by decades of exposure to toxic pollution. The EPA has chosen to retain its existing inadequate standard, despite ample peer-reviewed studies clearly showing that a stronger standard is, indeed, justified. Even the EPA's own more limited assessment of the health impacts calculated that strengthening the standard would prevent thousands of premature deaths. This amendment is simple. It would prohibit the EPA from finalizing its insufficiently protective review of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for particulate matter. The American people need an Environmental Protection Agency that will listen to doctors and scientists and take the steps necessary to protect the health and well-being of all Americans, regardless of their race, income, or ZIP Code. We are in the midst of a global health pandemic. Protecting our health could not be more important than at this very moment. I, indeed, urge my colleagues to support this amendment and give the EPA the opportunity to finalize a stronger standard that will actually protect human health and the environment. Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time. Mr. SHIMKUS. Madam Speaker, I claim the time in opposition. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Illinois is recognized for 5 minutes. Mr. SHIMKUS. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Joyce), my colleague and friend. Mr. JOYCE of Ohio. Madam Speaker, I rise in opposition to the amendment. This amendment interferes with an already rigorous scientific and public review process before the process has even been completed. The public comment period closed less than a month ago, and the EPA is in the process of considering more than 66,000 public comments received and making corresponding changes to the proposal. The EPA's proposal to maintain the standards set by President Obama comes after careful consideration of the most current available scientific evidence and risk and exposure information and with consultation and confirmation by the agency's independent science advisors. By maintaining the current national particulate matter standard, the EPA continues to protect our environment and the health of the American citizens without placing additional burdens on communities. There already too many States and counties currently struggling to meet the current standards, which are already among the strictest safeguards in the world. For these areas of our Nation, the solution is to help them meet the bar, not raise the bar. The EPA remains publicly committed to helping these areas succeed, and to Chair McCollum's credit, this bill gives the EPA the resources necessary to keep doing so. We are on the right track. The U.S. has made incredible strides in reducing particulate matter concentrations across the Nation. As a result of the Clean Air Act, programs and efforts by State, local, and Tribal Governments, as well as technological improvements, average fine particulate matter concentrations in the U.S. fell by 39 percent between 2000 and 2018, while average coarse particulate matter concentrations fell by 31 percent during the same period. Madam Speaker, the process that Congress created and continues to fund in this bill is working. Now it is our job to get out of the way. Vote ``no'' on the amendment, and let the EPA do its job. Mr. TONKO. Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time. Mr. SHIMKUS. Madam Speaker, who has the right to close? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from New York has the right to close. Mr. SHIMKUS. Madam Speaker, I rise in opposition to this amendment. Madam Speaker, this amendment would prohibit the use of any funds to finalize or implement or enforce the EPA's recent proposal to maintain the current Particulate Matter National Air Ambient Quality Standard. In April of this year, the EPA proposed retaining the existing particulate matter standard. The standard is 12 micrograms per cubic meter of air. It was last reviewed and substantially tightened in 2013 during the previous administration. The current EPA undertook the required 5-year review of the PM standard. In a resounding 5-to-1 decision, the EPA's Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee voted to retain the standard. The CASAC determined that there were substantial uncertainties with studies alleging to demonstrate health effects below the current standard. Following the requirements of the regulatory process, the EPA conducted a science-based review and analysis of the relevant data, and it proposed retaining the current PM standards. So if I have this right, the EPA conducted a scientific review and analysis, it followed the requisite Administrative Procedures Act process, and it made a regulatory proposal which it still will take public comment on, review the feedback, and eventually make a final determination. So where is the misstep here that requires this kind of amendment? Did the agency falter by listening to science? Did the agency falter by following the rulemaking process? What this amendment does is replace EPA's science-based analysis and proposal with a politically motivated Congressional edict. {time} 1900 PM2.5 emissions have dropped 37 percent over the last two decades. Combined pollutant emissions have declined 74 percent since 1970. The U.S. has some of the lowest PM2.5 emissions in the world, including five times below the global average and seven times below Chinese levels, thanks to our rigorous Clean Air Act process. Our air is cleaner, and under this administration, our economy has simultaneously been stronger. Facts, science, and process, that is what we should be dictating our environmental regulatory process. Indeed, we should support a rigorous standard-setting process for the Clean Air Act. Getting this right is vital. Setting standards unnecessarily low is dangerous. The economic, social, and physical collapse of communities that follow when factories pull out or power plants close due to new standards profoundly harms families, especially the most vulnerable. Getting it right is exactly what is happening right now with the administration's proposals for particulate matter standards. The problem with my committee colleague's amendment is that it stops this important process in its tracks. It will deprive the public of the benefit of a sound science process to protect public health for all populations. Stopping the scientific process does not protect public health. Support for this amendment undermines the Clean Air Act. I urge a ``no'' vote on this amendment. Madam Speaker, I will close with this. For my colleagues who promote science, when you politically vote for science standards without the scientific process, you kind of destroy the [[Page H3826]] whole EPA process. With that, I ask for a ``no'' vote on this amendment. Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. Mr. TONKO. Madam Speaker, I will repeat. Every individual deserves the right to breathe clean air. Certainly, this pandemic has proven that certain areas, certain neighborhoods, certain populations, have been at risk. It has been proven by the impact that COVID-19 has borne on so many individuals and communities. I would like to thank Representatives Blunt Rochester, McEachin, and Rush for authorizing this important amendment and for their tireless work to achieve environmental justice in carrying out our Nation's environmental laws. Madam Speaker, I thank Chair McCollum of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Subcommittee for her work on this great bill to protect public health and the environment. EPA has a requirement to put forward standards that are based on sound science and protective at the same time of human health. The PM proposal has failed to do so. Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this amendment to ensure environmental protection extends to each and every American. Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 1060, the previous question is ordered on the amendment offered by the gentleman from New York (Mr. Tonko). The question is on the amendment. The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that the ayes appear to have it. Mr. TONKO. Madam Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays. The SPEAKER pro tempore.

Reg. 948); or (3) annul the determination that such lands are eligible for gaming under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 1060, the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Kennedy) and a Member opposed each will control 5 minutes. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Massachusetts. Mr. KENNEDY. Madam Speaker, I yield myself 2 minutes. Madam Speaker, I want to thank the chairman for his leadership on this bill and for the support of this amendment. Madam Speaker, in 1620, 400 years ago, the Pilgrims settled on Wampanoag land in Plymouth, Massachusetts. For literally four centuries, the Mashpee Wampanoag people have been fighting for their sovereignty, for their land, and for their survival. And for generations, they have been met with resistance from a government that should be protecting and empowering them. In the last few months, Madam Speaker, their fight has arrived at a crossroads created by a Trump administration that has treated Tribes with nothing but contempt since the day of his inauguration. Because of decisions made by this administration, the Mashpee Wampanoag's land may be stolen from them again in the coming weeks. We have a responsibility to do what is right, to learn from the mistakes of generations before us, to recognize that this land wasn't land to be discovered or to be taken. It belonged to Tribes like the Mashpee long before the Pilgrims arrived. Madam Speaker, we need to pass this amendment to right the wrongs of the past, to prevent them from becoming the wrongs of the present. Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time. Mr. GOSAR. Madam Speaker, I rise in opposition to this amendment. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman Arizona is recognized for 5 minutes. Mr. GOSAR. Madam Speaker, I rise today in opposition, very strong opposition, to this amendment. The amendment continues the efforts in this House to halt enforcement of a Federal court action on this matter in order to build a massive 400,000-square-foot off-reservation gaming complex for the benefit of Genting, a foreign Malaysian gaming company. Since we considered this legislation last year, there have been a number of important events, including just last month when the U.S. Attorney's Office in Boston served a Federal grand jury subpoena to the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe last month for a hefty number of documents and financial records. Yet, here we are once again, misguidedly considering the establishment of two separate reservations for the Mashpee Tribe of Massachusetts. One reservation will be the town of Mashpee, the Tribe's historic reservation lands. No casino will be allowed within ``the geographic boundaries of the town of Mashpee.'' The other reservation will be 50 miles away from Mashpee in the city of Taunton. This site is not part of the Tribe's historic reservation and was selected by the Tribe and Genting for a billion-dollar casino project because of its proximity to the Providence, Rhode Island, casino market, a 20-mile distance. There is no reason for the second reservation other than to build an off-reservation casino 50 miles away from where the Mashpee Tribe currently resides. In 1988, Congress enacted the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act with the intent to restrict casinos to Tribes' original reservations in order to protect the States and the rights of citizens of those States. By placing land in trust for the Mashpee Tribe for gaming in Taunton, this amendment creates an off-reservation casino, which is inconsistent with congressional intent. This is often called reservation shopping, and it is an abuse of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act. Now, the Tribe's lawyers knew that reservation shopping was a political headache, so they went to bureaucrats within the BIA to obtain the two reservations through administrative action. But let's be honest, this isn't about the Mashpee Tribe. This is about Genting Malaysia. This amendment is really about just a financial bailout for Genting. The Tribe is swamped with more than $500-plus million in debt to Genting, and there is no way the Tribe can ever pay this back and still make enough money to sustain itself. Genting, therefore, will be the real owner of the project, not the Tribe. This kind of arrangement, where the creditor practically controls the financial futures of a debtor Tribe, is contrary to the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, which requires every Tribal casino to be 100 percent tribally owned. Moreover, the American Principles Project reports on the ties between convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff and the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe, stating, ``The expansive Abramoff investigation uncovered major corruption within the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe. Its chief, Glenn Marshall, pled guilty in 2009 to multiple Federal charges, including embezzling Tribal funds and campaign finance violations committed while working with Abramoff to secure Federal recognition'' in 2007. This disastrous project has garnered its broad share of opposition, including President Trump, Democrats, and Republicans. The project is also strenuously opposed by the other federally recognized Tribe in Massachusetts. For Members on both sides of the aisle, do you really want your name tied to a Tribe that only received Federal recognition in 2007 as a result of shady lobbying by Jack Abramoff? Do [[Page H3827]] you really want to vote for a $500 million bailout for a foreign gaming corporation? More importantly, while everyone is innocent until proven guilty, prudence suggests that Congress wait until the completion of the ongoing Federal grand jury investigation before acting on any gambling legislation related to a foreign entity and an Indian Tribe that appears to be the target of that investigation. In short, this amendment attempts, once again, to force an off- reservation casino, bails out a foreign corporation from major financial problems of its own making, undoes the judgment of a Federal court, and contradicts a Supreme Court ruling. Madam Speaker, I urge all Members of both sides of the aisle to vote against this amendment. Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time. Mr. KENNEDY. Madam Speaker, I yield such time as he may consume to the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Keating). Mr. KEATING. Madam Speaker, I speak in favor of this amendment. On March 27, 2 weeks after the U.S. Government had declared a state of emergency due to the COVID-19 virus, leaders of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe, the Tribe that helped the Pilgrim forefathers survive the devastation of illness and starvation in their first winter, received a phone call from the U.S. Secretary of the Interior's office. Now, you would think that maybe they were going to see how the Tribe was doing, a Tribe that is disproportionately affected by the virus. Maybe they were calling to see if they needed any help. Regrettably, that wasn't the case. In an act with discretionary timing, and one of the most reprehensible acts I have witnessed since I have been here in this Congress, they were informing them that, on behalf the U.S. Government, they were taking away their land, their buildings, their medical center, and leaving them in financial ruins. Now, fortunately, the D.C. Circuit judge rebuffed this unconscionable act, calling it arbitrary, capricious, contrary to law, and unusually so, calling it an abuse of power. Now, due to the close relationship between the White House and the lobbying group that is dealing with this, this could rear its ugly head again. This amendment is different than the three that we passed before, in terms of legislation. It is much more narrow. All it does is make sure the Tribe, the Tribe which helped the Pilgrims survive their first year, is allowed to do so themselves in the coming year. Mr. KENNEDY. Madam Speaker, I am prepared to close, and I reserve the balance of my time. Mr. GOSAR. Madam Speaker, once again, the facts are the facts. I know there are gut-wrenching applications. I dealt with Tribes my whole life. But the facts are the facts. This amendment is egregious. The facts are the facts. Two reservational applications is incomprehensible. It violates the very law that we actually passed. Now, if you disagree with the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, be my guest, change it. But that is not what we do. We follow the law. The law is the law. Madam Speaker, with that, I would ask everybody to vote against this amendment. Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. Mr. KENNEDY. Madam Speaker, I stand today with my colleagues from Massachusetts in support of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe and in support of Tribal sovereignty, and I ask my colleagues to pass this amendment. Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. Mr. LANGEVIN. Madam Speaker, I rise in opposition to the amendment offered by my friend and colleague from Massachusetts. This amendment would effectively prevent the Department of Interior from moving forward with a decision to revoke tribal lands from being held in trust. Although I appreciate my colleague's advocacy on behalf of the tribe in his state, the tribal land trust process is based on complex legal precedent and has no business being included in a bill to fund the federal government. We are familiar with the complexities of tribal law in Rhode Island as the Supreme Court's decision in Carcieri v. Salazar had implications for our state. But any legislative remedy for Carcieri shouldn't lie in an ad hoc approach that favors one particular tribe. What's more, this amendment could cause serious economic harm to Rhode Island. It effectively preserves the opportunity for the construction of a new casino in Taunton, Massachusetts, by putting pending administrative decisions on hold for the next year. My colleagues in the Massachusetts delegation are hoping for a last minute judicial or administrative reversal that would allow the stalled casino project to begin. The project would be in direct competition with established casinos just over the state line. Twin River and Tiverton casinos have been important economic drivers in my state, generating hundreds of millions of dollars each year. We are already feeling the economic impacts of the coronavirus pandemic in Rhode Island, as I know our neighbors are in Massachusetts. If this amendment becomes law, it could compound the economic pain for our businesses, their workers, and our state. I urge my colleagues to oppose this amendment. Mr. CICILLINE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to speak in strong opposition to this amendment. This amendment would seek to ignore a U.S. Supreme Court federal standard and allow the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe to open an off-reservation casino right on the border of Rhode Island. Under the Indian Reorganization Act, the U.S. Department of Interior is only allowed to take land into trust for tribes recognized before 1934. The Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe became federally recognized in 2007. This amendment will set a dangerous precedent and undermine both a U.S. Supreme Court ruling and disregard the U.S. Department of Interior's most recent ruling. An off-reservation casino would result in an overwhelming economic loss to my state's economy. The COVID-19 pandemic has dealt a great blow to my state, hitting the travel and tourism industry particularly hard. Casinos in Rhode Island generated $300 million in annual revenue before closing due to the pandemic. An off-reservation casino would further devastate the financial loss to my state currently facing a 12.4 percent unemployment rate in June, higher than the national average. We as a Congress should not be circumventing the court's decision and allow a one-time carve out for the building of a casino that is bad for Rhode Island. Regardless of this amendment, the Mashpee Tribe will still be a federally recognized tribe and will continue to receive federal benefits. Make no mistake, this amendment does not aim to help the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe, but instead help lobbyists secure a win for their own interests. This amendment will do more than just greatly damage the Rhode Island economy, it will put Congress on a path of hand-picking winners and losers over the court's decision. This amendment would signal it's okay for lobbyists and hedge funds to be the decision makers in Congress, and not the representatives of the people. I urge my colleagues to join me in strongly opposing this amendment. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 1060, the previous question is ordered on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Kennedy). The question is on the amendment. The amendment was agreed to. A motion to reconsider was laid on the table. {time} 1915 Amendment No. 102 Offered by Mr. Smith of Missouri The SPEAKER pro tempore. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 102 printed in House Report 116-459. Mr. SMITH of Missouri. Madam Speaker, I have an amendment at the desk. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 507, line 19, after the first dollar amount, insert ``(reduced by $564,452,000)''. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 1060, the gentleman from Missouri (Mr. Smith) and a Member opposed each will control 5 minutes. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Missouri. Mr. SMITH of Missouri. Madam Speaker, waters of the U.S., social cost of carbon, the Clean Power Plan rules, these are just a few of the crushing regulations issued by the Obama-Biden Presidency. During the Obama-Biden administration, the EPA issued nearly 4,000 regulations. These rules totaled tens of thousands of pages in Federal regulations and billions of dollars in compliance costs. The families, farmers, and [[Page H3828]] small businesses of Missouri could not keep up. Thankfully, since taking office, President Trump has kept his promise to deliver regulatory relief to the American people. He has removed seven regulations for every new one added, saving households thousands of dollars a year in regulatory costs. The other side would have you believe that reining in the EPA by reducing funding leads to dirtier air and dirtier water when, in fact, the opposite is the case. Under President Trump, emissions have fallen in every major category and overall have dropped 7 percent since 2017. Right now, we have the cleanest air since 1970. That is 50 years. Democrats want to take us back to Obama-Biden era spending policies with this funding bill, which breaks the recently agreed to spending caps and returns us to the regulatory machine of the prior administration that harms small businesses and family farmers. But the American people are not interested in returning to the increased costs and overregulation of that administration. My amendment simply reduces funding for the EPA to reflect President Trump's budget request. Madam Speaker, I urge all of my colleagues to support this amendment, and I reserve the balance of my time. Ms. McCOLLUM. Madam Speaker, I rise in opposition to this amendment. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman from Minnesota is recognized for 5 minutes. Ms. McCOLLUM. Madam Speaker, for 4 years in a row, President Trump has set up a truly--well, he sent us a budget that is just not workable when it comes to his budget request. On a bipartisan amendment, especially when it comes to the EPA, we have passed budgets at the end and sent them over to the EPA with more money than the President has requested. And why? Because we know we have to fight to have clean air, clean water. We need to have good scientists. We need to have researchers. We need to have people out doing inspections. We need to have our Environmental Protection Agency working. As I pointed out, the Congress has overwhelmingly rejected these requests for the President's cuts to the EPA. I predict we are going to see that happen again, for a fourth year in a row. That is because the EPA's environmental programs and management account does vital work, really important work protecting our air and drinking water, restoring our waterways, and safeguarding us from toxic chemicals. It has been reported worldwide, because of COVID, we all know people are driving less. We know that our factories, unfortunately, aren't running the way they should be, and a lot of people are out of work. So, yes, the air quality has improved because of the President's mishandling of the COVID emergency that we are facing. But we don't want to go back to those pollution levels. We want to work together in a bipartisan way. Another thing that the gentleman cuts are the geographic programs hugely popular in this Congress, and here, they are overwhelmingly supported bipartisanly--program work like the Great Lakes, Chesapeake Bay, Puget Sound, Long Island Sound, and the Florida estuaries. These programs would be devastated if we adopted the President's budget. Members on both sides of the aisle asked for robust funding in these accounts. Rural communities that rely upon technical assistance grants in this account, we help them to make sure that they can afford safe drinking water for their constituents and that they can safely manage their sewer and wastewater systems. We worked together to help rural communities. Consumers rely on the EPA's ENERGY STAR program to help them choose energy-efficient appliances, which save them money and help the environment. Madam Speaker, I can speak from personal experience, having sold appliances for many years, how important that ENERGY STAR was to someone when they were making a decision because they wanted to save money on their electric bill. Well, the Trump budget, the way it was presented to our subcommittee, would have slashed all these programs and much more, and the impacts to public health would be devastating. The American people overwhelmingly agree that we should be investing more to protect our families from pollution, not less. Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to oppose this amendment, and I reserve the balance of my time. Mr. SMITH of Missouri. Madam Speaker, more money is not always the answer. The right policies, efficiency, is the answer. As I said earlier, for the first time in 50 years, under Trump's policies and Trump's spending, we have the cleanest air since 1970. I am not sure why the majority is concerned about cutting funding for the EPA when they have included $13 billion in additional emergency funding in this bill for the EPA alone. My amendment is not about preventing the EPA from doing its job. It is about ensuring that the EPA does the job we gave it to do and nothing else. Now is not the time to return to the spending habits and overregulation of the Obama-Biden era. If this funding amount is good enough for the President, it is good enough for me. Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. Ms. McCOLLUM. Madam Speaker, I am glad the gentleman brought up the $15 billion in the EPA's emergency spending budget. It is for wastewater treatment. That is for clean drinking water. That is for infrastructure. That is for jobs. That is so the next generation inherits clean water and a sewage waste disposal system that they don't find crumbling all around them because of neglect and because we have not lived up to our obligation to take care of those infrastructure investments. For 50 years, the EPA has been responsible for protecting health and the environment, and they have been doing a job in cleaning up the environment, as I mentioned with the restoration programs. The Chesapeake Bay, it is amazing what has happened, the Great Lakes. Congressman Joyce and I are constantly working with other Great Lakes representatives, Republicans, Democrats, and Independents, who ask us to do even more in investing. These Trump administration budget cuts that the gentleman would have us return to would cripple the EPA's ability to accomplish those missions. I urge my colleagues to oppose the amendment. Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 1060, the previous question is ordered on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Missouri (Mr. Smith). The question is on the amendment. The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that the ayes appear to have it. Ms. McCOLLUM. Madam Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3 of House Resolution 965, the yeas and nays are ordered. Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, further proceedings on this question are postponed. Amendment No. 103 Offered by Mr. Smith of Missouri The SPEAKER pro tempore. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 103 printed in House Report 116-459. Mr. SMITH of Missouri. Madam Speaker, I have an amendment at the desk. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 506, line 21, after the first dollar amount, insert ``(reduced by $260,612,000)''. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 1060, the gentleman from Missouri (Mr. Smith) and a Member opposed each will control 5 minutes. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Missouri. Mr. SMITH of Missouri. Madam Speaker, once again, I rise to advocate in favor of the fiscal sanity of the Trump administration. Just like my last amendment, this amendment prevents the Democrats from taking us back to the Obama-Biden era policies of overregulation and overspending. The Obama-Biden EPA brought us thousands of new regulations, tens of thousands of new pages in the Federal [[Page H3829]] Register, and billions in compliance costs for American farmers, small businesses, and families, much of this backed by flawed research with a political agenda. The Office of Science and Technology aids in the regulatory process and is responsible for the faulty research that led to costly regulations like the social cost of carbon and the Clean Power Plan. The American people need transparent research without an agenda. They don't need Obama-Biden era regulations and spending policies. The amendment, once again, simply reduces funding for the EPA to reflect President Trump's budget request. Madam Speaker, I urge all of my colleagues to support this amendment, and I reserve the balance of my time. Ms. McCOLLUM. Madam Speaker, I rise in opposition to the amendment. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman from Minnesota is recognized for 5 minutes. Ms. McCOLLUM. Madam Speaker, as I said on the other amendment, for 4 years in a row, President Trump has sent us truly appalling budget request numbers for the EPA, and the Congress has overwhelmingly rejected these requests on a bipartisan basis. As I said, I predict we will do that again for the fourth year in a row. The EPA's science and technology account does vital research on health effects of toxic chemicals and pollutants. Now, the Trump administration, by not doing this research and by not moving forward, protects corporate polluters' profits, not the health and safety of the American people. That is why, in my opinion, the administration's budget proposes to cut hundreds of millions of dollars for funding research on things like PFAS. Now, in my constituency, I have several major municipalities that can no longer just take the water out of the ground the way that they had before, send it to the homeowners, and they could turn on their tap and safely drink it. No, it has to be filtered for PFAS. We need research. We need standards on it. Lead. How many discussions have we had on this House floor? How many parents have we heard from? How many children have we heard from about the effects of lead in water? Mercury. I am from Minnesota. We have fish advisories because of mercury. Pregnant women have to be careful how much fish they consume. We have postings when we go to our lakes about how much fish we can consume. Mercury is a concern to many of us. And climate change. I am not afraid to talk about climate change. I was just on the phone with the Secretary of the Air Force, and we were talking about what we are going to have to spend in Alaska. You know, the permafrost is causing issues with radar installations not being stable--climate change. The permafrost, which is disappearing, is affecting the ability for runways and safe landings. Climate change. So, do we need to do the research on climate change? It is a national security issue. I am glad the EPA is out there looking at it, working with other agencies within the United States. People across this country overwhelmingly agree we should be investing more research in PFAS. We should be getting the lead out of our water. We should be understanding what is going on with mercury. We should also be addressing the effects of climate change and, most of all, protecting our families from pollution. I urge my colleagues to oppose this amendment. Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time. Mr. SMITH of Missouri. Madam Speaker, if you listen to my Democrat colleagues, you would think the EPA could not go on without this funding that we are trying to reduce. It is about being efficient. This administration, as I had said earlier, under President Trump, emissions have fallen in every major category and overall have dropped 7 percent since 2017. Right now, we have the cleanest air since 1970. Throwing money at an issue you care about is not the solution. Being efficient in government is the solution, and that is what the Trump EPA has done. {time} 1930 So they have asked for this particular amount of money, and I am making sure that we are giving the EPA what they need, not busting the spending caps which were agreed to by Republicans and Democrats by their current proposal. Let's keep the spending caps. Let's adopt my amendment. Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. Ms. McCOLLUM. Madam Speaker, I will read from the National Geographic, published April 8, 2020: ``As the novel coronavirus tears around the world, it's exploiting our biggest weaknesses, from creaking health care systems to extreme social inequality. Its relationship with one pervasive and neglected problem, however, has been more tangled: Air pollution has intensified the pandemic. . . .'' So we need to do studies on that, and the EPA works on that, but at the same time, the coronavirus has temporarily cleaned the skies. As I said earlier, for 50 years, the EPA has been responsible for protecting public health and the environment. We need to do research to understand how to protect public health and the environment; and more importantly than ever, we need to understand how to protect public health and the environment for people who have long been neglected, the people who are suffering the most right now, and that is the inequality, the injustice we are seeing between Black and Brown people in the United States. We need to do better with the EPA for addressing social injustices that have affected those populations most by living in polluted areas and being subjected to pollution. I want to work on that in Congress. The administration's cuts would cripple the EPA's ability to achieve that mission. Madam Speaker, if I understand correctly, the gentleman has yielded his time. Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to oppose this amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 1060, the previous question is ordered on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Missouri (Mr. Smith). The question is on the amendment. The amendment was rejected. A motion to reconsider was laid on the table. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 1(c) of rule XIX, further consideration of H.R. 7608 is postponed. ____________________
