PERSONAL EXPLANATION
Mr. BERMAN. Mr. Chair, during House consideration of H.R. 2647, the
National Defense Authorization Act I, along with several other Members
of Congress, was unavoidably detained in a meeting on immigration
policy at the White House with President Obama. Had I been present, I
would have voted against the McGovern/Jones/Pingree Amendment, for the
McGovern/Sestak/Bishop (GA)/Lewis (GA) Amendment, against the Franks/
Cantor/Sessions/Broun/Roskam Amendment, against the Akin/Forbes
Amendment, for the Holt Amendment, and for the Connolly Amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the committee amendment in the
nature of a substitute, as amended.
The committee amendment in the nature of a substitute, as amended,
was agreed to.
The Acting CHAIR. Under the rule, the Committee rises.
Accordingly, the Committee rose; and the Speaker pro tempore (Mr.
Ross) having assumed the chair, Mr.
[[Page H7387]]
Pastor of Arizona, Acting Chair of the Committee of the Whole House on
the State of the Union, reported that that Committee, having had under
consideration the bill (H.R. 2647) to authorize appropriations for
fiscal year 2010 for military activities of the Department of Defense,
to prescribe military personnel strengths for fiscal year 2010, and for
other purposes, pursuant to House Resolution 572, he reported the bill
back to the House with an amendment adopted by the Committee of the
Whole.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under the rule, the previous question is
ordered.
Is a separate vote demanded on any amendment to the amendment
reported from the Committee of the Whole? If not, the question is on
the amendment.
The amendment was agreed to.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the engrossment and third
reading of the bill.
The bill was ordered to be engrossed and read a third time, and was
read the third time.
Motion to Recommit
Mr. FORBES. Mr. Speaker, I have a motion to recommit at the desk.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is the gentleman opposed to the bill?
Mr. FORBES. Yes, sir, I am, in its current form.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to
recommit.

The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Virginia is recognized
for 5 minutes.
{time} 1515
Mr. FORBES. Mr. Speaker, this motion to recommit improves this bill
by fully providing for our troops on the battlefield, protecting the
American people at home from ballistic missile threats, and doing so
without borrowing from any significant program.
First, this motion provides $1.4 billion in equipment requested by
our men and women in combat and which this House agreed they needed
because we included it in the 2009 supplemental the first time. This
funding is for MRAP vehicles, Blackhawk helicopters and UAVs, which
have persistently been some of our troops' highest priorities for Iraq
and Afghanistan.
Mr. Speaker, after the House included this funding in the
supplemental, the Senate included a provision to provide a $100 billion
global bailout to the IMF. In order to pay the bill, the equipment
needed by our servicemen and women in action was stripped from the
supplemental.
I do not think any Member of this distinguished body believes we
should have provided any loan to the IMF, or any other international
body, without first taking care of our men and women on the
battlefield.
Mr. Speaker, this bill will have some critical components of this
motion and would restore 1,600 additional Humvees and combat vehicles,
250 MRAP vehicles to protect our soldiers from roadside bombs, four
additional helicopters and four additional aircraft so our soldiers
don't have to drive those roads in the first place, and six unmanned
aerial vehicles to address critical shortfalls in intelligence and
reconnaissance.
In addition to fulfilling the wartime needs of our troops, this
motion would add $1.2 billion to restore missile defense funding to the
fiscal year 2009 levels.
Last year, this Congress provided $10.5 billion for missile defense.
Since that time, North Korea and Iran's nuclear and missile
capabilities have demonstrably grown as credible threats to the
security of the United States.
North Korea has threatened to ``wipe out'' the United States and
reportedly is preparing an intercontinental ballistic missile launch
that could reach Hawaii or the continental United States.
In April, the President himself said ``Iran's nuclear and ballistic
missile activity poses a real threat, not just to the United States,
but to Iran's neighbors and our allies.''
Despite these increasing threats, the bill cuts missile defense by
$1.2 billion from last year. And this includes a 35 percent reduction
to a vital missile defense system in Alaska and California designed to
protect the United States homeland.
These cuts lack supporting analysis and challenge common sense. If
North Korea does what it says, or if the President is right about Iran,
this may be one of the most crucial votes we take.
The $2.6 billion to pay for the equipment our troops need and to
maintain last year's missile defense funding level will come from a
Department of Energy account that has already received more than $5
billion in stimulus funding on top of a baseline request of $5.5
billion.
We may hear concerns from the other side of the aisle that we are
skimming off the top of important environmental cleanup projects.
However, Energy Department officials have stated publicly that the
stimulus funds go to the lowest priority projects. I also would like to
note that cleanup funds do not expire, and the billions of dollars of
stimulus funds provided for this effort won't expire for 5 years. It is
more than reasonable to expect that the Secretary of Energy can
responsibly reallocate the resources he receives across the
environmental management portfolio.
Therefore, the real question before the House is whether we should
allocate $2.6 billion to the Department of Energy for their admittedly
lowest priority cleanup projects, or, to allocate this $2.6 billion for
much-needed equipment for our troops in combat and to defend our Nation
against the rising threats of missile attacks.
Mr. Speaker, the choice is clear. The decision should be even
clearer. And with that, Mr. Speaker, I urge all my colleagues to vote
for this motion.
I yield back.
Mr. SKELTON. I rise in opposition to the motion to recommit.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes.
Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Speaker, this is one of the most interesting motions
to recommit I have ever seen. In truth, in fact, in looking it over,
which is a multipage motion, it is an effort to rewrite the work of two
subcommittees within the Armed Services Committee, the Strategic Forces
Subcommittee and the Air and Land Subcommittee.
[[Page H7388]]
And we have already, a few moments ago, discussed at length on this
floor a good part of this, which is the missile defense area, which we
gave $9.3 billion toward. But what I really find interesting in this is
that the budget will cut the cleanup for radioactive waste and special
materials in half.
At this time, I yield 2 minutes to the gentlelady from California
(Mrs. Tauscher), the subcommittee chairman.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman may not yield blocks of time,
but the gentleman may yield.
Mrs. TAUSCHER. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
California, Texas, Colorado, New Mexico, Washington, South Carolina,
Tennessee, Idaho, Georgia. Anybody live there? Those are the States
that are expecting this cleanup money. Your Governors are expecting
this cleanup money. Mayors of communities are expecting this cleanup
money.
This isn't just a little slush in tanks that we are trying to clean
up, ladies and gentlemen. This is the 50-year residue of the Cold War;
dangerous, dangerous proliferation risks, dangerous health and safety
risks.
These States have agreements, usually because they have sued the
Federal Government, to have this money be spent for this cleanup. So if
you think this is a triviality, if your phone is ringing right now, it
is probably your Governor saying do not take this money away from us
because our communities are at risk.
That is why you need to oppose this motion to recommit.
We have had hearing after hearing. We have had subcommittee markups
and full committee markups. None of this was brought up. This is a
convenient way to change the subject. The subject is support this mark.
Defeat this motion to recommit.
Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from
Hawaii, the chairman of the Air and Land Subcommittee, Mr. Abercrombie.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman may not yield blocks of time.
The gentleman from Hawaii is recognized.
Mr. ABERCROMBIE. Mr. Speaker and Members, I'm the chairman of the Air
and Land Subcommittee. And I really feel very, very deeply that this
recommit motion made right now really is not in order in the way we
work. The phrase was used ``on the other side of the aisle.'' There are
no ``sides of the aisle'' in the Air and Land Subcommittee. Every
single member of that committee is recognized by this chairman as not
only equal in terms of their input, but equal in terms of their
commitment to the defense of this country.
You folks know me here. This kind of thing does not take place in our
subcommittee. There is no ``side of the aisle'' when it comes to the
defense of this Nation.
Let me just give a couple of quick examples. On the Stryker vehicle,
we have $338 million in there on top of the $200 million plus that we
put in the supplemental. We were never given any other number despite
any opportunity anybody could have had to bring that number forward.
On the Mine Resistant Ambush Protected all-terrain vehicles, $5.45
billion for 1,000 vehicles, upgrades, retrofits and operation and
maintenance. If there is one thing that this chairman, Ike Skelton, has
done in the committee, for both Republicans and Democrats who have the
responsibility and obligation as members of the Armed Services
Committee, is to see to it that readiness is first, foremost and
fundamental in our deliberations.
I ask you, I ask you as a fellow member of the Armed Services
Committee, not as a Democrat or as a Republican, to reject this on the
basis that our committee did its work the way it should do its work. We
set a standard for bipartisanship, in fact nonpartisanship, when it
comes to determining what is the interests of the fighting men and
women of the United States of America.
Mr. SKELTON. How much time is remaining, please?
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Five seconds remain.
Mr. SKELTON. I thank the gentlelady. I thank the gentleman. This is a
bad motion to recommit.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentleman has expired.
Without objection, the previous question is ordered on the motion to
recommit.
There was no objection.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion to recommit.
The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that
the noes appeared to have it.
Recorded Vote
Mr. FORBES. Mr. Speaker, I demand a recorded vote.
A recorded vote was ordered.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XX, the Chair
will reduce to 5 minutes the minimum time for any electronic vote on
the question of passage.
The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 170,
