Oppressed for their nationality, their tribe, their religion, their color. A warrior in his lifelong commitment to engaging in good trouble to break down the forces of separation, especially in this nation of ours.

Speaker, i ask unanimous consent to speak out of order for one minute, to revise and extend my remarks. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman is recognized. Hoyer mr. Speaker, i have walked with john lewis at least 15 times across the Edmund Pettus bridge. Where with courage and commitment he made a seminal difference in the life of our country. As of us walked with him we followed in john lewis footsteps. I suspect my colleagues saw as i did that the man we knew to be a vet radge legislator and person of wisdom and experience still carried in his heart the same energy, optimism, and determined spirit that he bore in his youth. John never stopped being the young man who dreamed of change and knew it could be achieved. In that springtime, alabamas son, he beamed with a passion for justice and shown that light back on all of us who marched with him. Even at 80 John Robert Lewis had the heart and fiery soul of a young protester for a righteous cause. An organizer for the community, and the country he served. Life john his marched for justice, civil rights, peace, and equality. On every step on his journey he brought all of us and this country he loved with him. On friday, johns march on earth came to an end. And he was revered as a good and faithful servant. Now, mr. Speaker, he rests in the bosom of god. He made sure that we know the way forward. Toward racial justice, toward communities safer from gun violence, towards a cleaner and healthier planet, toward an america where everyone can access quality Affordable Health care, and where no child goes to bed hungry. Toward a world where peace and plenty replace conflict and scarcity. And toward an america whose people hailed dr. Kings call to sit together at the table of brotherhood and sisterhood. Mr. Speaker, we have a long way to go on that march. But if we continue to walk in john lewis footsteps, we will make it. He would say we must make it. Our struggle to realize the beloved community was his ision and our mission. Surely he will be with us as we continue that mission of the movement. Where he was the veteran at our side. Now john will be the wind at our backs and as the song says, beneath our wings. With his guidance and inspiration, we can, as he did, walk with the wind as we march on towards justice, equality, nd peace until victory is won. He was our inspiration. He was our guide. He was our friend. He was our colleague. As i said on saturday morning, there is a hole in the heart of america. Yield back.

Eight years ago today, 12 lives were taken, 70 were wounded, and hundreds more suffered emotional trauma. Yet even in this tragedy we saw incredible heroism that night. Those who carried people to safety and cared for the gravely wounded. We saw those who sacrificed themselves by shielding others uch as jonathan, john, matt, and alex. Its these four men who inspired you, mr. Speaker, and me to introduce h. Res. 1051, to designate july 20 as National Heroes day. And today as we mourn john lewis, another Real National hero.

Mr. Speaker, i rise today to recognize july 20 as pennsylvania day. Since the inception of our nation, pennsylvania has played a transformative role in the United States history. In our foundational years, pennsylvania was the site of many important battles and military milestones like the battle of valley forge in the revolutionary war, and bat of gettysburg during the civil war. Pennsylvania is home to a lot of firsts including our nations first capital, philadelphia. The American Flag sewn by betsy ross. Pennsylvania has a proud history of american craftsmanship and work ethic from our steel mills and coal mines to farmlands and forests.

The speaker pro tempore for what purpose does the gentleman from california seek recognition . I ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute. Revise and extend my remarks. The speaker pro tempore without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. In 2017, my constituent, jennifer, passed away due to pancreatic cancer connected to her exposure to burn pits during the military service in iraq. In her and the countless veterans who are sick, permanently disabled, or who have died from illnesses due to exposure to burn pits, i introduce an amendment to the ndaa to prohibit federal funding for the military use of Toxic Burn Pits. My amendment was not included, but it is imperative to acknowledge the Serious Health risks that open air burn pits have on our troops. Yet our military still usings them to dispose of waste on the battlefield. Mr. Ruiz the e. P. A. Website has a brochure burning household trash because it releases pollutants to the air and ground level where they are most readily inhaled. Many counties across the nation have banned open trash burning because of air pollutants that pose a risk to our health. If we cant burn trash here at home because of the Health Effects, why do we keep exposing our Service Members to toxins and carcinogens that are released by burn pits . We must address reducing the use of burn pits in our military. Thank you, mr. Speaker. I yield back the balance of my time. The speaker pro tempore for what purpose does the gentleman from South Carolina seek recognition . Mr. Wilson mr. Speaker, i ask unanimous consent to address the house, revise and extend my remarks.

The june jobs report showed inspiring improvement with 4. 8 million jobs added. This job growth has exceeded expectations by nearly two million and shows the economy continues to recuperate. In South Carolina over 105,000 people have rejoined the work force and we now have over two Million People employed in the palmetto state. Its great to see jobs return as Small Businesses work to fully recover for families. Americas resilient. Im confident with president trumps bus savvy leadership and proven record of creating jobs, our citizens will come out of this stronger than ever. In conclusion, god bless our troops and we will never forget september 11 and the global war on terrorism. Our sympathy for the family of congressman john lewis. I yield back. The speaker pro tempore for what purpose does the gentleman from tennessee seek recognition . Mr. Cohen to address the house for one minute. The speaker pro tempore without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. Cohen as leader hoyer expressed i think everybodys feelings about john lewis. I lost a hero and a friend, a cohort in good trouble and a colleague. You sometimes waug with gipets. Rarely do you walk with a saint. John lewis was a saint. He embodied the spirit of Martin Luther king and exhibited in his life, his work, his votes his advice to his colleagues. There is no good time to die. But john lewis lit a fire that has turned into a tremendous blaze. And im fortunate that i have been able to feel the warmth and share it with him. I yield back. I for what purpose does the gentleman from texas seek recognition . Mr. Olson i would like to address the house for one minute. Mr. Olson mr. Speaker, over half the states in the america have had a large spike in the covid 19 pandemic crisis. Sadly, my own state of texas has had one of the highest increases in the past week. Lots of factors why. Mostly laid upon young terse 1830 because they have a smaller chance of dying. I spent about an hour last thursday with three amazing high school students, isaiah and steven and jasmine. These kids care with spider webs and braces of submission. Their own, they started a nonprofit. They dress up as spiderman or nder woman and ask their parents to drop by to see their superheroes. E price, Food Supplies for victims of covid19. In less than two weeks, these three youngsters raised one ton of food for the neighborhood want a o people, if you real superhero, go to facebook or invite them to come to your home.

I the gentleman from colorado s recognized for mr. Perlmutter i yield the customary 30 minutes to the gentleman from georgia. During consideration of this resolution all time yielded is for purposes of debate only. I ask unanimous consent that all members be given five legislative days to revise and xtend their remarks. I mr. Perlmutter rules committee met on friday and reported a rule, House Resolution 1053 prying for consideration of h. R. Mac known as the william m. Thornberry under a structured rule which makes in order 407 amendments. The rule provides for en bloc authority with enblock amendment. And provides for consideration of the Senate Amendment to h. R. 1957, the Great American outdoors act and the rule provides for consideration of h. R. 7027, child care is essential act and h. R. 7327 the child care for economic recovery act under closed rules. The rule provides for Suspension Authority through september 20, 2020 and recess authority as well as same Day Authority through september 21, 2020. Mr. Speaker, i want to start by commending chairman smith and Ranking Member thornberry for their leadership and calming influence that they bring to the appropriately named National Defense authorization act for fiscal year 2021. This would be the 60th Consecutive Year Congress Enacts this legislation and it is a rect hard work and collegiality. The nd arch a fulfills its constitution by providing the military the tools they need to provide for our National Defense, confront terrorism and defend our Democratic Values overseas. The legislation also provides essential care for the backbone of Americas Fighting force, our Service Members and their families. The bill includes a 3 pay raise for our Service Members and makes key investments in military infrastructure. The bill allows our military to maintain readiness, expand capabilities and invest in the software and technologies required to secure our country. Additionally, the covid19 pandemic has affected all of us including our military. This ndaa would authorize funding to strengthen the d. O. D. And the countrys ability to respond to this and future pandemics by creating a billion dollar pandemic and National Security fund. It does all of this by abiding by the budget agreement from last year and incorporates hundreds and hundreds of bipartisan ideas. The Armed Services committee adopted 475 amendments during their markup. And this rule makes in order another 407 amendments of the house to consider and work its will. This legislation exemplifies exactly how this institution is supposed to work. Another bill included in this rule is h. R. 1957, Great American outdoors act. Since its creation in 1964, the land and Water Conservation fund has protected millions of acres of land across the u. S. And funded National Parks like the rocky National Park in colorado and tens and thousands of local projects all 50 states. It ensures that all of us can enjoy fishing, hiking and other Outdoor Activities and preserve our public lands for future generations. Lwcf long supported the and proud to see it permanently reauthorized last year and with h. R. 1957, the house can pass the Great American outdoors act and makeing the funding permanent. As the Trump Administration continues to slash protections for our public lands and Natural Resources, it is now more important than ever to permanently fund the lwcf. Im glad the Senate Finally acted and passed this important bill so we can send it to the president s desk for his signature. The child o bills, care essential act creates a 50 billion Stabilization Fund to help child care providers which have been hard hit by the pandemic with over 40 of providers in danger of closing. Access to child care is absolutely necessary for our economic recovery. This bill will stabilize child care providers so we can ensure parents can get back to work as the states reopen. We must ensure it is affordable for working parents hit hard by the economic downturn. Thats why h. R. 7327 expands and makes refundable the childcare tax credit and includes Additional Resources to improve childcare facilities. By filling the gaps to make childcare more accessible to working families, this bill helps parents who would otherwise reduce their hours or delay reentering the work force due to childcare. I urge all my colleagues to support the rule and the underlying bills. With that i reserve the balance of my time. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman from colorado reserves. The gentleman from georgia is recognized. Mr. Woodall thank you, mr. Speaker. I yield myself such time as i may consume. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman is recognized. Mr. Woodall i want to thank my friend from colorado for yielding me the time. One of these days, mr. Speaker, hes going to come down here and leave out that he yields the time for the purposes of debate only and he and i can going to solve most of the ills that confront this institution. I think we could do that together. I appreciate he is my friend, i appreciate his friendship and his yielding me the time today. Mr. Speaker, as the first georgian to take the floor today i want to tell my colleagues on behalf of the entire georgia delegation that we appreciate the prayers and the thoughts that youall have been sending. Not just to mr. Lewis family and his staff, but to all of us as well. One of my favorite parts of this job, mr. Speaker, is talking to young people. Ill speak to any Student Group that wants to come through that will invite me out because i love having an opportunity to influence young minds and answer those completely without shame questions that folks ask. But the one thing i have always asked my staff to do is not schedule me after john lewis has talked to those young people because once john lewis entered a room and had a chance with those young minds, anybody else is going to be a distant, distant second best. E has been a leader in georgia on causes good and right for my entire lifetime. In fact, he was elected to congress before i even graduated from college. Most of the time i spent with him was as a staffer on capitol hill. I remember after getting elected he was sitting over to my left as he often was, and i went up and i said, mr. Lewis, i just want to introduce myself. Im rob woodall. I just came in john linders seat and im excited to be here with you. He said, rob, i know who you are. Please dont call me mr. Lewis. Call me john. He would invite the delegation and to his home to visit talk about things, not the things that divide us but the things that unite us. We cant afford to lose the uniters in this institution or in this country. And we have lost one in john lewis. And im will have a chance of the georgia delegation to recognize him more later today. Im grateful for the speaker making that time available. Please know how much we all appreciate your outreach to johns staff and all of us. Mr. Speaker, its fitting, thinking about being a uniter, that we are down here talking about the ndaa today. If you will recall last year when we were doing the ndaa i had very few nice things to say. It had generally been a Partnership Exercise here. And for myriad reasons that both the chairman and the Ranking Member on Armed Services regretted, it became a partisan exercise last year, came out of committee on all strictly partisan vote, came across the floor on almost a strictly partisan vote. This is a bill that it has not mattered who led the United States house or who led the United States senate, or even who was in the white house. For 60 years now each and every year the Congress Comes together and we produce a blueprint for our nations National Security. I love that about this bill and i love that about this institution. I love that about what it means for the leadership of the civilian government that we get past partisanship every single year and to my democratic friends credit, as they lead this institution, by the time the ndaa bill got back to the floor after conference, it passed on a voice vote here in the house. We had brought ourselves back together again. This year, mr. Speaker, it has returned to that Partnership Bill that it has always tried to be. We had the chairman, mr. Smith, and our Ranking Member, mr. Thornberry, up in the rules Committee Last friday and they both attested to that fact. This is not the bill that either of them would have drafted, but it is the bill that they have come together and passed unanimously out of their committee. Again to my democratic colleagues credit, they have named the bill after our Ranking Member. Mac thornberry, to recognize his lifetime of service to our men and women in uniform. Thats the kind of thing that doesnt get a lot of publicity back home. Folks arent going to sit around and celebrate that, but its a big deal that republicans in the minority on capitol hill, but that leadership in service to others, as Mac Thornberry has done to our men and women in uniform, doesnt have a partisan label on it and our democratic colleagues have seen it fit to honor him in this way and im grateful. Im grateful to them for that. We have a lot of amendments here as you have heard already, mr. Speaker. I wish that we had been able to do this in two separate rules so we could have come together and supported ndaa and had our differences on the other measures that are also included in this rule. Coming out of cocacola country it would be ok with me if the Grocery Stores decided in this time of pandemic they only had time to just stop the cocacola on the shelves and they werent going to make time to stop the pepsi because it was too dangerous and not enough time to make that happen, but they havent. They decided they are going to put it all on the shelves and try to get back to normal. We have to try to get back to normal, too. I know my friend the chairman of the rules committee is on the floor today and hes got a lot of responsibilities on his shoulders. We have gotten into the habit during this pandemic of putting a lot more things in a single rule than we used to do. Im hoping that well start to swing that pendulum back as we all grapple collectively to get to a new normal, because besides the National Defense authorization act we have a lands bill here today. It came to us from the senate. I understand my friends dont want to amend it because it has come to us from the senate. Id like to put the house stamp of approval on it. Id like to put some house improvements on it. We had an opportunity in the rules committee, mr. Speaker, this lands bill as my friend from colorado described t provides a new funding stream, mandatory funding stream for Land Acquisition through the land and Water Conservation fund, a fund that i support funding that i have supported. But we have a maintnant backlog on our federal maintenance backlog on our federal lands. And this year we are not going to have the resources to fund our maintenance backlogs at our normal level much less at the elevated level they need. And this bill is going to exacerbate that problem by rather than funding a maintenance backlog is going to purchase more land that we dont have enough money to maintain already. We had an opportunity to massage that around, make sure that we were funding the land and Water Conservation fund, and we were also providing the stewardship to those lands that the land and Water Conservation fund has already acquired. We didnt have a chance to do that in the rules committee. We are going to have a motion previous question opportunity when we defeat the previous question to come back and further improve this lands bill, i hope that my colleagues will give us that opportunity. I appreciate that the senate has sent us this language, but i do believe we can improve it before we send it to the president s desk. Finally, we have bills that again with the best of intentions affect our nations childcare system. Its absolutely positively true that we cannot get our parents back to work if we cant get our children back into the classroom or back into the childcare center. We must make all of these things work in concert together. These bills are coming to us under an emergency designation. I sit on the Budget Committee, mr. Speaker. What that means is the normal rules dont apply. Childcare has been a challenge in this country not just during the pandemic but for decades. It is an issue that is worthy of this congress attention. Its also worthy of getting it done right because we can only spend each dollar once. Once that dollar is gone, if we dont spend it efficiency efficiently, we are not going to be able to serve children and parents sbells wed like to. These childcare provisionnot go through a process that gave us an opportunity to participate. Both bills that were testified on before the rules committee have Budget Committee referrals. The Budget Committee has been meeting, but we have not had one word of conversation about these priorities. That does not produce the best product. Again, it may be done with the best of intentions, but it cannot possibly produce the best product. To ignore committees of jurisdiction and to ignore disparate voices as we are all grappling with childcare challenges back in our district. Covid19 related challenges in our district. Mr. Speaker, as you take time today and hopefully for many, many days into the future to celebrate the difference making that john lewis did not just for my community, my state, not just for our country, i would argue he made a difference on the global stage, take a moment to celebrate that for all the partisan headlines that are in the news, there is a lot of good partnership, collaborative give and take going on behind the scenes to try to make the world a better place. To try to make american policy a better policy. I hope my colleagues will support the ndaa bill when it gets to the floor of this house, after this very aggressive amendment process, but i do hope my colleagues will defeat this rule so that we can separate the ndaa from these items that require much more of the houses attention. Then we can rush those to the floor as soon as we have had an opportunity to perfect those as well. With that i reserve the balance of my time. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman from georgia reserves. The gentleman from colorado is recognized. Mr. Perlmutter i yield myself such time as i may consume. I want to say first to my friend, mr. Woodall, i would never negligent to neglect to provide you with 30 minutes because i honosly enjoy watching your gestures and listening to your arguments. Often we disagree, but the way you present things is really something that i enjoy. Listening to and watching. And i couldnt agree with you more than what you said about john lewis. John was not very big. About my size. But his personality, his commitment, and his intellect would fill this chamber whenever he spoke. Whenever he came in. So our loss is big with his passing. And i just wanted to thank the gentleman for the remarks he made about mr. Lewis w that id like to yield four minutes to the gentleman, the chair of the rules committee, mr. Mcgovern. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman is recognized. Mr. Mcgovern thank you, mr. Speaker. I want to thank the distinguished member of the rules committee, mr. Perlmutter, for yielding me the time. I also want to associate myself with the comments of all my colleagues who have remembered our dear friend, john lewis. The conscience of the congress, indeed the conscience of the country. John lewis was a man of action who never gave up on fighting for a more just, fair, and decent country. And i think all of us can pay tribute to him not just with words but with actions. Mr. Speaker, there are a lot of good ideas being considered as part of this debate. There will be a lot of debate over the next couple of days. But i want to discuss one in particular here today. An amendment by my colleagues, mark pocan and barbara lee. Because of their leadership, congress will finally vote on whether to cut the pentagons bloated budget and reinvest that money in the American People here at home. All i can say is its about damn time. Covid19 has laid bear our nations failure to invest in programs that support our families, and deep them healthy. But this debate was needed long before this pandemic hit. Because for years and years we have been told there simply isnt enough money to invest in our communities. And universal childcare, medicare for all, or repairing our crumbling infrastructure. We have been told that a Green New Deal is too expensive and that its unreasonable to ask to cancel crushing student loan debt. But there was always enough money lying around to raise the pentagons budget. Decade after decade after decade we shortchanged the American People while we shoveled more money into building more nukes or military bases halfway around the world. Mr. Speaker, im sick and tired of it. This amendment is the least, and i mean the least we can do. Since the start of the Trump Administration in just the last three years, our defense spending has gone up every single year, over 100 billion in total. Thats crazy. I support our troops and this amendment exempts from cuts, military personnel, Defense Health care and our federal civilian work force. But i do not support military spending so wasteful that it weakens our nation. I dont support congress on funding weapons, our troops dont want and i dont support Congress Funding forever wars that our country shouldnt even be involved in. For me this all boils down to a simple question. Mr. Speaker, what do we mean by National Security . Some think that National Security it ought to be measured by the null of bombs we have. But those of us who support this amendment think our National Security must be measured by the prosperity of our people. By whether our families have enough money to buy groceries and whether we are investing in our schools, libraries and roads and all the things that strengthen our communities. If we continue failing to address our people, what kind of country will be left for our military to defend, 20, 40, 60 years down the road. What will we tell our children and their children when our military budget continues to balloon, yet our citizens cant afford the basic necessities. Budgets are moral documents. They represent our values, what we think is important. It is time for america to do the right thing and fundamentally alter our national priorities. That is what this proposal is all about. So i urge my colleagues to support this rule. There will be lots to debate on lots of subjects, but support this amendment when it comes up for a vote. And i yield back. Mr. Perlmutter i reserve. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman from georgia is recognized. Mr. Woodall i yield myself one minute, i know the heart with which my chairman speaks. I believe it is wrong headed to craft a military budget and then figure out what kind of mission that budget can support. The question is, what are we asking of our men and women in uniform, what is the mission and commission that in a full throated way. We had the opportunity to vote on what the definition of the mission was and allow the use of military force from 2001 to continue to perpetuate the forever wars that my friend from chair of the rules committee mentioned. We are not going to have an opportunity to vote on that today and i regret that. I know we are hoping to have an opportunity to discuss that in he future in a fullthroated way. Please dont craft the budget and figure out then what you can ask our men and women to do. Figure it out what it is you are asking them to do and fund that to the best of our abilities. With that, mr. Speaker, i yield three minutes to the Ranking Member of the rules committee, the gentleman from oklahoma, mr. Cole. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman is recognized. Mr. Cole i thank my good friend from georgia for yielding and his remarks about our departed colleague, john lewis, as well. Mr. Speaker, this rule brings a very mixed bag before the congress of the United States. It covers four different bills. Two of those bills shouldnt be on this floor at all. The democrats broke their own rules in bringing those bills, the two bills dealing with child care. Not that the subject isnt important, it is extraordinarily important. It should have gone through the Committee Process and marked up probably since this deal with covid19, it is more appropriately dealt with in another supplemental. But these bills arent ready for the floor. The other bill, the lands bill out of the senate, is a good bill. I would have preferred that we put some other amendments there, some that our good friend, Ranking Member, mr. Bishop of utah, brought forward. We could have made a more prudent and better chance to have a sustaining bill, but getting that authorization done is a rare opportunity this late in the cycle in a devries i have year, and we can come back later to make it better, but i intend to support that legislation and its important to step forward on our environment. Ill reserve my remarks on the nd arch a and i want to thank my colleagues, the chairman and Ranking Member, mr. Smith and mr. Thornberry, working together so well and bringing us a well crafted product. That bill came out of committee 560. There were 500 some amendments in the committee and another 700 on the floor. But the point is, they found a way to come together. We as a house are going to have an opportunity to make that work even better or frankly, make it worse. Im going to disagree very respectfully with the chairman of the rules committee. We dont overfund defense. If you look at it historically, 1960, we spent 9 of our Gross National prouth on defense and 50 of the federal budget. That fell to a third of the federal budget and 6 under Ronald Reagan and 3. 5 under president clinton and down to 4 today. We dont overspend. And we have dangerous adversaries that are modernizing rapidly. Certainly the chinese and russians are. So i think it would be a huge mistake to adopt the amendment my friend that intends to support. It is important to remember that in the world we live when it comes to military power, first place is the only safe place. This bill will keep the United States where it be longs, in first place. I thank my friend. I thank everybody here for their remarks about representative lewis, a giant amongst all of us, and he will be sorely missed. His voice would have been a wonderful voice today. With that, i yield back. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman from georgia reserves. The gentleman from colorado is recognized. Mr. Perlmutter i yield three minutes to the gentlelady from scanlon. Nia, ms. Ms. Scanlon im proud to rise in support of this rule and the underlying legislation. Each of the underlying bills will benefit not only people across the country but residents of pennsylvanias 5th Congressional District in a meaningful and tangible way. The nd arch a has a 3 pay increase for Service Members and expands paid family leave and makes changes in how the department of defense addresses the needs of service women. The nd arch a makes necessary investments in our ability to handle future deadly Infectious Diseases and key investments in military infrastructure to support our troops overseas. But for the residents of my district rg the benefits go even further. More than 4,600 people in my region are proudly employed in building the mission helicopter, premier heavy aircraft as well as the osprey. Ur neighbors who build these incredible aircraft are proud of producing these aircraft on time and on budget and craftsmanship which supports our furet around the world. Im proud to continue our reemings bipartisan tradition of federal support for this critical program. This bill is important to the brave federal firefighters in our region who protect some of our countrys most valuable assets. Two people who visited my office were two firefighters. They told me they loved their jobs but the schedule imposed on firefighters in our region was unworkable leading to low morale, high rates of divorce, requests to transfer to other stations and difficulties filling vacancies. I worked with congressman don norcross to secure language in this bill that will allow our local firefighters to adopt the federal work schedule already being used by the vast majority of their peers. Today rule will send to the president s desk. This bill benefits every region by permanently funding the land and Water Conservation fund and investing in the backlog at our National Parks, which are important to our region economies. I regularly visit many of the special places in pennsylvanias 5th district that will directly benefit from this legislation and the heinz wildlife refuge. Funding does not come from taxpayer dollars but offshore drilling royalties and for every Million Dollars invested, the Program Supports 1630 jobs. I want to thank all the members who worked so hard on crafting these critical bills. And i yield back. Mr. Perlmutter continue to reserve. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman from georgia is recognized. Mr. Woodall at this time, its my pleasure to yield four minutes to the gentleman from illinois, mr. Shimkus. Mr. Shimkus i rise with concerns of the pattern of national legislating chemical piles. Im referring specifically to certain antiscience, and potentially antisoldier ovisions involving this bill relating to pfos. It is a class of thousands of different chemicals which we know very little about. There is no precise clear definition of what constitutes a substance with the lowest totals 5,000. P s encompassing 5,70 substances are identified and pfas. The 29 dots that are highlighted e. P. A. Has reliable scientific methods and tests. The two red dots are the only two that we think are problematic to human health. Some of the uses of these chemicals, the federal food and Drug Administration has approved for parets suffering from artery blockage and infants suffering rom a congenital heart condition. I dont have a poster for the next chart on health, but new drugs were introduced to the market from 2001 to 2011 that treat cancer, respiratory illnesses and Infectious Diseases. Section 31 prohibits d. O. D. From buying any personal care i empts, departmental floss that carries pf omp s. And this includes any safer alternative product with a different pf ompsmp. This means for our troops sitting in the desert before Congress Takes these products some of which have been approved for use by other federal agencies. Section 332 of this requires certain cleanups under the superfund to use the stricter standard notifying superfunded, protection of human health and the environment and being appropriate and relevant under circumstances. Only d. O. D. Section 332 disregards site characteristics and prevents cleanup and focuses on only being more stringent. This kind of policy making is punitive, wasteful and unscientific. There is a technical fix to language that congress added. This amendment is not a technical fix and raises serious policy questions that regular order would have done a much etter job of sets willing. E. P. A. Has been working diligently to understand the most common p fmpomp s. E. P. A. Just released a inventory or 1 2 p fmp os and incompleting regulation, preventing Market Action and evaluating the need for Clean Air Act and superfund regulation. I hope conference goirks will remove these tro some provisions needs of our the fighting men and women in the field. With that, i yield back. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman from georgia reserves. The gentleman from colorado. Mr. Perlmutter can i ip wire how much time remains on both sides . The speaker pro tempore the gentleman from colorado has 16 minutes. The gentleman from georgia has 11 minutes. Mr. Perlmutter i would like to yield to dr. Ruiz. Mr. Ruiz as we stand right here, our brave men and women overseas and our returning veterans continue to suffer the Health Effects of their exposure tore Toxic Burn Pits. They are fields where tons of waste like jet fuels, medical wastes were burned next to military bases exposing Service Members to an array of pollutants and known car sin know against. For too long, they have inhaled black fumes from burn pits and their symptoms that produces head aches or die could you haves have been dismissed. I know they could have serious alth conditions like bronchitis. The department of defense has been you hiding behind promises about ongoing studies. Promises about studies are not enough. It is time to act. Our heroes cannot afford to wait. That is why we must pass four of my bipartisan bills included as amendments to the ndaa. The act will require d. O. D. Implement mandatory training for all their med cool providers on the potential Health Effects of exposure to open air burn pits. No longer can we allow symptoms of burn pits exposure to be dismissed. Second, h. R. 7597, the d. O. D. Burn pits Research Status act, will require d. O. D. To report to congress on the status and timeline for completion of all going studies, conducted or funded by d. O. D. , related to the Health Effects of burn pits. Third, h. R. 7598, the post deployment burn pit question act will require d. O. D. To include a question about burn pits exposure in the post Deployment Health assessment form to increase reporting of burn pit exposure. Fourth, h. R. 7600, the burn pit registery expansion act, will require d. O. D. And v. A. To expand the burn pits registry to include egypt and syria. In order to comprehensively address the military use of burn pits, prevent exposure, and improve timely care for Service Members, we must find alternatives to burn pits usage, educate military Health Care Providers about the variety of illnesses due to Toxic Burn Pit exposures, expand the burn pits registry and understand the gaps. Toxic burn pit exposures continues to threaten the health of Service Members. Many Service Members and veterans continue to become severely sick, permanently disabled, or die from respiratory failure, cancers, or auto immune or other diseases due to Toxic Burn Pits exposure. This is an urgent problem that must be addressed right now. My 2020 burn pits bill package will help bring us closer to providing the attention that this d. O. D. Selfinflicted Public Health crisis requires. Identify atrisk Service Members, and give them the timely care they need and end the use of military Toxic Burn Pits once and for all. I yield back my time. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman from colorado reserves. The gentleman from georgia is recognized. Mr. Woodall thank you, mr. Speaker. At this time id like to yield three minutes to the gentleman from minnesota, mr. Stauber. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman is recognized. Mr. Stauber thank you, mr. Speaker. Id like to thanth chairman and Ranking Member of the house Armed Services committee for including my legislation in the ndaa for 2021. Id also like to thank my good friend from maine, congressman golden, for introducing the legislation with me and championing its amendment during markup. My bill holds federal agencies accountable for paying businesses for work already performed due to contract modifications made by federal agency clients. As Ranking Member of the house Small Business subcommittee on contracting and infrastructure, i think it is important to speak up for the Small Businesses that support the federal government and procurement marketplace. When Small Businesses work with the federal government, they choose to do so risking their livelihoods on the promise that they will be paid for the work that they have agreed to perform. Access to steady and stable cash flow is the lifeblood of a Small Business and they trust that they will be paid timely and fairly each and every time they sign on the dotted line. Unfortunately, the federal government has not been holding up their end of that bargain. Particularly when it comes to contract modifications or change orders. Issued unilaterally by an agency on federal construction projects. These delays in the approval and payment of change orders have a disproportionate impact on small construction contractors. My legislation provides a measure of Financial Stability to our small contractors by requiring the government to pay for at least half of the work business has completed at the time its submitted. This will ensure our Small Businesses obtain some fair and timely compensation for the work performed. Without having to wait for the change order payment approval to work its way through miles of government red tape and bureaucracy. This legislation holds agencies accountable for the changed workday request which is simply the right thing to do. And again i thank the chairman and Ranking Member for including this legislation in the ndaa. I yield back. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman from georgia reserves. The gentleman from colorado is recognized. Mr. Perlmutter thank you, mr. Speaker. I yield myself such time as i may consume. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman virginia tech. Mr. Perlmutter i want to the gentleman is recognized. Mr. Perlmutter i want to focus on the health and environmental safety for those willing to put their lives on the line for our country. First, for former Nuclear Weapons workers and second for our firefighters. The First Amendment Affirms Congress commitment to the success of the department of Labors Office of the ombudsman for former Nuclear Weapons workers. Over 600,000 americans worked on our nations Nuclear Weapons programs in the 20th century, including at the former Rocky Flats Plant in my district which produced the plutonium triggers for many of our Nuclear Weapons. Many of these workers were exposed to toxic substances and chemicals and developed terrible and often terminal illnesses. Congress created the Energy Employees occupational Illness Compensation Program, or eeoicpa for sure, which is not very short, to provide compensation and health care to these workers under the fiscal year 2001 ndaa. Unfortunately, the Illness Compensation Program has been troubled for years preventing workers from successfully submitting their claims and assessing their hardearned benefits. The office of the ombudsman serves as an important resource for claimants, helping them navigate the complicated claims process. Unfortunately, this office sunsets this october as we work to find a path forward on longterm funding, my amendment cosponsored by representative joe wilson and you, mr. Speaker, reinforces the importance of the ombudsman to these Nuclear Weapons workers and to the eeoicpa program. My Second Amendment requires the National Institute of standards and technology, mis, to work in noopings with the mis nist, to study the effects of pfas. We heard mr. Shimkus discussing that earlier, on the health and women being of our firefighters. Pfas chemicals are found in the protective gear firefighters wear making it more water and oil resistant. Beneficial kinds of effects. But we know pfas exposure can lead to an increased risk of cancer already the leading cause of death among firefighters. My amendment which is cosponsored by representatives bill posey, dan kildee, brian fitzpatrick, mad lean dean, and mr. Rouda, it would make recommendations on improvements to this gear to avoid unnecessary exposure to pfas chemicals. We owe it to our brave firefighters who put their lives on the line every day to minimize their exposure to these dangerous chemicals. Mr. Speaker, i urge all my colleagues to support these amendments and i reserve the balance of my time. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman from colorado reserves. The gentleman from georgia is recognized. Mr. Woodall thank you, mr. Speaker. I yield myself such time as i may consume. Mr. Speaker, i mentioned earlier if we defeated the previous question we would have the opportunity to add additional language to the lands bill. I ask unanimous consent to insert the text of the amendment im about to discuss, mr. Speaker, in the congressional record immediately prior to the vote on the previous question. The speaker pro tempore without objection. Mr. Woodall thank you, mr. Speaker. When we have a Natural Disaster on our public lands, we have an opportunity right after that disaster to go in and salvage some of the timber that has fallen. Some of the timber that has been affected. But there is a clock on how long we have to get that done. Many of the processes that are in place normally to seek approval for harvesting timber on public lands remain in place in these Natural Disasters, in these times of crisis. If we defeat the previous question, mr. Speaker, ill make in order, ill add an amendment to the rule to make in order the discussion on creating a categorical exclusion for salvage operations. I know there are differences between department of interior lands and department of agriculture lands. Former governor of the great state of georgia, sonny perdue, now the secretary of agriculture, the lands that hes in charge of are not lands designed to be preserved, they are lands designed to be managed. Its an agricultural product supposed to produce timber for the American People. When there is a catastrophe that damages that timber, that enroaches upon the productivity of those lands, an opportunity to salvage what little may be available to be salvaged, should be one eavail ourselves of or a topic of discussion today. Mr. Speaker, i ask my colleagues help me to defeat the previous question. Lets add this amendment to the rule. As i mentioned earlier we already have everything in the kitchen sink in this rule already. One more section 7 isnt going to disadvantage us or slow us down more than a single hour. And we will be able to have this very important conversation about maximizing the asset the American People have entrusted us to manage and to protect. With that i reserve the balance of my time. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman from georgia reserves. The gentleman from colorado is recognized. Mr. Perlmutter thank you, mr. Speaker. How much time is left . The speaker pro tempore the gentleman from colorado has nine minutes remaining. The gentleman from georgia has 16 1 2 minutes remaining. Mr. Perlmutter im not sure i think the gentleman from georgia has gained time and we definitely dont want hat. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman from georgia has 35 1 2 minutes remaining. Mr. Perlmutter that sounds more like it, mr. Speaker. Thank you. I yield myself such time as i may consume. Just briefly we are prepared to close i would say to my friend from georgia. T the rule that we presented today does span a number of bills. The reason we are putting them all together is because time is of the essence. And there is no reason to delay any further in presenting these particular bills to the vote of the congress. With that i reserve the balance of my time. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman from colorado reserves. The gentleman from georgia is recognized. Mr. Woodall thank you, mr. Speaker. I yield myself such time as i may consume. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman is recognized. Mr. Woodall i want to thank my friend from colorado, both for his partnership on the rules committee and courtesy here on the floor today. I understand the urgency with which about which he just spoke. I offered an amendment in the rules committee, mr. Speaker, hat we withdraw what they call martial law, the ability with the house to move with great haste. The house rules require that we pace ourselves so that the body has an opportunity to review the rules that the rules committee produces, the legislation that comes out of committees. We have these timelines in place. Since the covid crisis began over 100 days ago, we have been operating under what they call martial law where the speaker in his or her wisdom can do almost anything with great haste on the floor of the house. Both parties do that in times of crisis. So the house can be responsive in the way my friend from colorado has discussed. There comes a time, however, mr. Speaker, where we need to recognize that if we have been sacrificing efficacy in the name of efishency, that might have been the right answer on day efficiency, that might have been the right answer on day one of the crisis, day 30, maybe even day 90, but there is going to come a time in the same way that we have asked our food service personnel, our sanitation personnel, our Law Enforcement personnel, our First Responder personnel, you go down the list of folks doing critical jobs in america, we are not asking them to short cut those jobs. We are asking them to perform those jobs the very best of their abilities. We can do better here. My friend from colorado mentioned that we stuff these things all into a single provision. It does save us one hour of additional debate. It does save us one hour. In the grand scheme of things i might say having a more deliberative process would be worth 60 minutes of this bodys time. We didnt have our first day of session in june until the very last week of june. I think we could find the time. But thats not really my biggest concern. My biggest concern are the bills that have been stuffed into this bill that havent been the product of regular order. And i dont mean regular order where we have to talk about everything and delay it. Im talking about regular order where thoughtful, serious legislators actually have a chance to make a difference and things arent written by a select few in leadership behind closed doors. In a crisis, leaders have to lead. And i dont fault the majority for circling the wagons and doing what they needed to do, to respond in the way that they thought was appropriate. I might have disagreed with them. But they have a responsibility and an obligation lead it. Were entering a time, mr. Speaker, where we need to recognize that we are the deliberative deliberative body. This is where the American People come to have their voices heard and we must open up the process so that that can happen. Mr. Speaker, i mentioned earlier that we did a pretty good job on the National Defense authorization act. Again, passed out of committee 560. Thats not because everybody agreed. Thats not what happens in legislating. Its that everybody came to a place where they were comfortable and they did the negotiating they had to do to satisfy that higher priority of defining americas National Security needs and goals. I have the list of amendments that have been made in order by this bill, mr. Speaker. You can see the list of bipartisan amendments. I feel pretty good about that. Thats a lot of numbers you see on this page. Bipartisan amendments that are going to be made in order in the National Defense authorization act. Almost as many in fact, as many as the democratic amendments that were made in order under this rule. Youll see thats a lot of democratic amendments that were made in order too and im glad we had bipartisan and im glad the majority is able to continue to improve upon what theyve done. This is the list of republican amendments that its made in order. Its not a screen tear, mr. Speaker. Its just that this is only how many there are. We in the republican majority, 2020, when i was had an opportunity to lead a subcommittee there. 2018. We would make more democratic amendments in order than republican amendments because republicans were leading and so by definition fewer democratic voices could be included in the regular process. We werent able to do that today. And i regret that. But i want to recognize, because i think its important to recognize, mr. Speaker, i have a lot of constructive counsel for my friends on the other side of the aisle about how they can do better. And any time they want to come to me and partner with me on that leadership, im available to them to do that. I dont think were going to get to where i want to go by the end of this democratic majority. And i think when the republican majority takes over in january, thats going to be my opportunity to get us back to where i want us to be. But this bill, this National Defense authorization act, this bipartisan work product, this collaborative effort to support our men and women in uniform, as my Ranking Member mentioned, can be improved on the floor of this house, or that partnership can be destroyed on the floor of this house. The leadership on the democratic side of the aisle, on the rules committee, has a very difficult job trying to find those amendments that can help to improve the bill without destroying the bill. And i want to recognize the real sweat equity that folks put in to trying to keep the poison pills away, trying to find those ideas that needed to be discussed and not to destroy our partnership. Lets support this National Defense authorization act, mr. Speaker. Lets defeat this rule. But support the underlying bill. And with that the speaker pro tempore the gentlemans time has expired. The gentleman from colorado is recognized. Mr. Perlmutter thank you, mr. Speaker. I yield myself such time as i may consume and i would just like to begin with responding to my friend, mr. Woodalls, concerns about the numbers of amendments and what the percentages are and all of that stuff. Weve authorized and made in order 407 amendments. To be debated on the floor of this house. Thats after some 475 amendments were debated in the committee on Armed Services. And of the ones that we have today, lets see, 53 are bipartisan or republican. 45 , 46 are democratic amendments. So among all of these amendments theres plenty of opportunity for all of us to have some say as to how the ndaa is going to be shaped for this coming year. Second thing that you mentioned was the great outdoors, Great American outdoors act. That is a bipartisan bill. The Ranking Member, mr. Cole, stated his support for this thing. Which can and will preserve millions and millions of acres of public land and National Parks through funding. And we know that the senate has passed it. We consider is a major matter where time is of the essence, for the benefit of beautiful places all across america. And we want to get that done. The two other bills, the child care bills, in this Pandemic Health care bill child care bills, in this pandemic that we face, child care has been turned upside down, like so many other things that have been dealt a blow by the virus. And time is of the essence in trying to correct that so america can get back to work. But without assistance in the child care arena, thats just not going to happen. So we want to get these things moving. So, mr. Speaker, i want to thank the gentleman from georgia and my other colleagues for joining me here today to speak on the rule, the National Defense authorization act, the Great American outdoors act, the child care is essential act, and the child care for economic recovery act. Passage of this rule today will allow the house to continue our important work for the people. We will uphold our oath of office to protect the United States through consideration of the Mac Thornberry National Defense authorization act. Whether he complete the step we took last year to support full funding of the land and Water Conservation fund, by passing the Great American outdoors act. And we will take meaningful steps to help hardworking americans who have been hit hard by the covid19 pandemic. By assuring that they have access to affordable child care so they can get back to work as soon as possible through passage of those two acts. Over the next few days and weeks, we will take action on these important bills and we will begin our work to fund the government through the passage of the house fiscal year 2021 Appropriations Bills and we will renew our calls for the senate to act and pass the next pandemic relief package, the heroes act, to help americans across the country as we respond to this miserable virus and its effects on our nation. So i hope all my colleagues can join us in Getting Started with that work by passing the rule here today and with that, mr. Speaker, i urge a yes vote on the rule and on the previous question. I yield back the balance of my time and i move the previous question on the resolution. The speaker pro tempore the question is on ordering the previous question on the resolution. Those in favor say aye. Those opposed, no. In the opinion of the chair, the ayes have it. Mr. Woodall mr. Speaker. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman from georgia is recognized. Mr. Woodall mr.
