8:00 pm
and since then, radical islamic terrorists have been at war with the united states. you may wish that wasn't the case. but it is and historical fact. if you cannot even acknowledge who the enemy is or what we are at war with them, then how can you expect to defeat that enemy. we must face the truth. the truth that there is a very real struggle within the islamic world between religious tolerance, the purported goal of this bill, and an evil, toxic, intolerance. the potential byproduct of this bill, that says that if you are a christian or if you are a jew or if you are a moderate muslim, then you must be destroyed. and this bill gives voice to this toxic religious intolerance
8:01 pm
by failing to exclude from the definition of islamophobia any policy or viewpoint that rejects radical islamic terrorism. this ideological of evil and extreme religious intolerance must be confronted with clarity. as much as each individual act of terrorism. and an overinclusive definition of islamophobia threatens to encourage the very extremism that we all say we oppose. is it -- is islamophobia to criticize the taliban, a self-proclaimed islamic terrorism when they commit grave human rights abuses or oppress women? is islamophobia to criticize rejoining the joint comprehensive plan of action when talking about the malign thee accuratic islamic republic of iran, the leaders of which chant "death to america" and promise the destruction of the state of israel? is it islamophobia to condemn hamas when they are firing
8:02 pm
rockets on innocent israelis from gaza? is it islamophobia to criticize someone who dismissively, dericively, and defensively refers to 9/11 hijackers as people who did some things? these actions are not islamophobic. these are beliefs motivated out of security and act. however, we are voting shortly on a bill that actually does combat islamophobia, real islamophobia. a bipartisan bill to combat the force labor of uighur people and the systemic genocide of peaceful muslim minorities by the chinese communist party. that bill, mr. speaker, makes a clear, defined difference. this bill does not. simply saying we are against islamophobia, without clearly and correctly defining it, and establishing an office within the state department to combat it without safeguards against the relative views of the
8:03 pm
politically correct is a way to weaponize our foreign policy against itself. we must deal with this problem as it is, not as we would hope it to be. history teaches us that when islamic extremists and jihadists are not fought, they grow. their movement metastasizes. the longer they are not confronted, the more they become emboldened, the more they are appeased and tolerated, the more there are overrun territories in the areas they occupy and safe havens which they can launch attacks against the united states and the west. as a member of the foreign affairs committee, i was more than disappointed that my democrat colleagues, many of whom i respect very, very much, rejected a good-faith amendment in our markup to clearly define what islamophobia actually is. we do have an enjoy to monitor and combat anti-semitism who works off an internationally adopted definition of anti-semitism. but the way this bill is structured, it fails to structure a policy of counter
8:04 pm
jihad has not, never has been and never will be islamophobia. and the bill establishes an office that would actually undermine the very mission of the envoy to monitor and combat anti-semitism. in sum, this bill, without definition restraint, will invite anti-semitism, anti-christian bias into state department decision-making and will do so under the guise of combating islamophobia. that's what this bill will do without definition. maybe this bill is well-intentioned. but if we don't agree to some kind of definition, and we don't provide some clarity, moral clarity -- the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. mr. mccaul: i yield an additional 30 seconds. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for 30 seconds. mr. barr: if we don't agree to some kind of definition, if we do not provide some clarity, moral clarity, intellectual clarity as to who the enemy is versus what islamophobia is, then what we have here in this
8:05 pm
bill is a wolf in sheep's clothing. nuance and political correctness will not help us defeat our enemy, and it leaves peaceful prags particularsers of -- practitioners of islam robbed for the reasons they deserve. i urge opposition and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. the gentleman from texas reserves. the gentleman from new york is recognized. mr. meeks: we are not here to talk about criticism. we're here to talk about persecution, anti-muslim hate. we are here to talk about genocide and we should know it when we see it. i yield one minute to the gentlelady from the great state of california, barbara lee. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from california is recognized for one minute. ms. lee: thank you, mr. speaker. i rise in strong support of h.r. 5665, the combating international islamophobia act. i want to thank my friend, congresswoman ilhan omar, for her leadership on this issue, as well as chairman meeks and the speaker for bringing this bill
8:06 pm
to the floor. the bill creates mechanisms tore the state department to monitor and combat international islamophobia. there are approximately 1.8 billion muslims in the world, including 3.5 million muslims in the united states. now, the truth is, while islamophobia is not a new phenomena, anti-muslim violence has increased significantly over the past 20 years. just ask any muslim what islamophobia is. we've seen incidents such as the terrorist attacks on mosques in new zealand, atrocities against the uighurs in china, and islamophobic laws in france that prevents girls from wearing the hijab in public. they now say the discrimination and hatred in muslims have -- can i have another 15 seconds. mr. meeks: i yield the gentlelady another 15 seconds. ms. lee: thank you, mr. chairman.
8:07 pm
as i was saying, whether in the halls of congress, mr. speaker, our districts or across the world, we will not tolerate islamophobia. we know what it is. we must work together to end this bigotry. and so i urge my colleagues to vote yes on h.r. 5665, and i yield back and thank you, again, for the time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman's time has expired. the gentleman from new york reserves. the gentleman from texas is recognized. mr. mccaul: mr. speaker, i'm pleased to yield three minutes to the gentlelady from texas, ms. van duyne. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from texas is recognized for three minutes. ms. van duyne: mr. speaker, i rise in opposition to h.r. 5665. bringing this bill to the floor is nothing more than empty theatrics from democrats. our nation has delivered more freedom, opportunity, and lib rilt to more people -- liberty to more people around the world than any nation in history. we have served as the arsenal of democracy and a liberator of oppressed people because we are a good and just nation founded on fundamental god-given
8:08 pm
liberties, including among those as part of our very first amendment is the freedom of speech. our nation has lost precious treasure of our fellow countrymen to free people from the horrors of islamic fundamentalism. we have seen what happened to women in afghanistan since biden's disastrous and botched departure. women are being stoned in the street for having the gall to be educated. women are forced into marriages with blood-thirsty taliban savages to serve as breeders for the next jihad. the fight against these kind of atrocities deserve plain-spoken and hard truths be told. instead, the other side would like to sterilize free speech and determine what words are allowed under their orwellian tyranny. our nation and the world deserve so much better than this ridiculous attempt to stifle free speech. there is tremendous evil in this
8:09 pm
world. every day that evil is trying to infiltrate and undermine our exceptional nation. i will never shy away from calling out evil ideologies, and i will never back down from speaking against them and how they are used to oppress women, children, and the vulnerable. we must stay committed to opposing heinous acts of violence directed at any religious group around the world, but the fact is, the state department is already doing this. this bill brought to the floor today is for one purpose only. to apiece the hurt feelings -- to appease the hurt feelings of members who themselves have well-documented backgrounds of anti-american and anti-semitic remarks. i rise against this bill just as i will rise against any attempts to weaken our rights, diminish our liberties, and distract this
8:10 pm
body from dealing with real issues, to strengthen our nation, and empower our people. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman yields back. the gentleman from texas reserves. the gentleman from new york is recognized. mr. meeks: yes, mr. speaker, i yield one minute to the representative from the great state of michigan, mrs. dingell. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from the great state of michigan, mrs. dingell, is recognized. mrs. dingell: thank you, mr. speaker. thank you, mr. chairman. i rise in support of the combating international islamophobia act. this legislation creates an office to monitor and to combat islamophobia at the department of state. in recent years, we have seen tragedies like the 2019 christchurch shooting as well as the state sponsor persecution of uighurs in china. my hometown of dearborn, michigan, has a very large muslim community, and it's also a constant target of islamophobia hate. there are thousands of documented complaints of
8:11 pm
anti-muslim hate and bias in the united states this year alone. and my community, they are good standing americans. they are fearful of these actions. i have heard from my constituents who are afraid of visiting their mosques or going to events as a result. passing this bill sends a strong message about our shared commitment to safeguarding religious liberty worldwide. i urge my colleagues to support this legislation. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman's time has expired. the gentleman from new york reserves. the gentleman from texas is recognized. mr. mccaul: mr. speaker, i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves. the gentleman from new york. mr. meeks: mr. speaker, i yield one minute to the representative from the great state of texas, mr. green. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from texas is recognized for one minute. mr. green: mr. speaker, and still i rise as a christian to say peace be upon you.
8:12 pm
mr. speaker, h.r. 5665 addresses the age-old question -- am i my brother -- and i might add my sister's -- keeper? if the answer is yes, then what do we do about it when our brothers and our sisters are being victimized by islamophobia, threatened, murdered, killed? you can't be your brother's and sister's keeper, mr. speaker, without keeping your brothers and your sisters. h.r. 5665 addresses this by establishing an office to monitor and combat islamophobia in the department of state. h.r. 5665 does something such that we can be our brothers and our sister's keeper. i am proud to be a co-sponsor of it. and i close with may god protect you. the speaker pro tempore: the
8:13 pm
gentleman's time has expired. the gentleman from new york. mr. meeks: i yield one minute to the representative from california, mr. correa. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new york is -- california is recognized for one minute. mr. correa: mr. speaker, mr. chairman, i also rise in strong support of the combating international islamophobia act. a recent report in california found fla 56% -- thank 56% of the students feel unsafe in their school because of their muslim religious identity. that's not the america i know. our nation stands for many freedoms, including the freedom of religion, and i am a proud sponsor of this legislation, to create a special enjoy, to fight -- envoy, to fight anti-muslim hate crimes in the u.s. and abroad. i urge my colleagues to support this measure, and with that i yield. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. the gentleman from new york. mooeshgs mooeks i yield one -- mr. meeks: i yield one minute to
8:14 pm
the gentlelady from california, ms. jackson lee -- from texas, ms. jackson lee. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from texas, ms. jackson lee, is recognized for one minute. ms. jackson lee: i thank the gentleman for yielding. i rise in strong support of h.r. 5665, combating international islamophobia, and i've listened to my friends on the other side of the aisle -- and they are my friends. i hope we will have the opportunity to work together for what the values of america stands for. i've heard my colleagues recount the various efforts of inhumane treatment to muslims around the world. this is an important statement made by america, to create the position of special envoy for monitoring, combating islamophobia, will be responsible for tracking, coordinating efforts to combat
8:15 pm
islamophobia. but also, it will require the department of state's annual country reports on human rights to include the acts of islamophobia. with a billion muslims, the reason why i support this legislation is a statement it makes to the world about the values of this country and the values of this country should be grounded in the fact that the religious freedom of all should be respected and then, finally, i am really overwhelmed by the constant battering of our colleague, ilhan omar. to make her the center point of opposition in this place, it is beneath the dignity of this house. and so by passing this legislation, let the world know that america's values are valuing religious freedom and that we stand against the abuse of muslims around the world as well as here in the united states. this is an important piece of legislation. i thank the chairman for his leadership, and i ask my colleagues, republicans and democrats, to support h.r. 5665.
8:16 pm
thank you. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman's time has expired. does the gentleman from texas continue to reserve? . mr. mccaul: i continue to reserb. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new york. mr. meeks: i yield one minute to the gentlewoman from michigan, ms. tlaib. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman is recognized for one minute. ms. tlaib: thank you so much. i have a lot of emotions as i stand here before you today. this bill is a strong step toward combating islamaphobia but it's only a start. if the reality today is that muslim americans still face constant abuse here at home. while it's great to fight islamaphobia abroad, we need to address how widespread this disgusting hate is here in my country. simply put, my two sons and children across the country deserve to grow up in a country where their religion, their faith, won't be used to target them and endanger their lives
8:17 pm
and freedoms. must rim americans deserve representatives on beth sides of the aisle who will embrace them and love them for who they are, not those who encourage religious violence for their own political gain. mr. speaker, i would say to my fellow americans who believe in free, inclusive, and accepting country know that we will win this fight. the actions of a hateful group of individuals in our country and this body are out of touch from the vast majority of our americans and neighbors who are good, decent people who reject this violent, white nationalist hate and will put that aside to defend each other from this bigotry. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from texas continues to reserve. the gentleman from new york. mr. meeks: i yield one minute to the distinguished speaker of the united states house of representatives, the honorable nancy pelosi. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from california, the speaker of the house of representatives, is recognized. the speaker: thank you, mr. speaker. i thank the gentleman for yielding. i thank him for his leadership, mr. chairman. chairman meeks, chairman of the
8:18 pm
foreign affairs committee, for his leadership bringing this important issue of legislation to the floor which addresses an issue of faith, of values, and of our country. the house comes together hopefully in a spirit of unity, i would have hoped, and patriotism, to condemn and combat islamaphobia and all forms of racism, prejudice and discrimination. listening to the debate i heard mr. danny davis earlier as he was saying don't mess with mr. in between talking about religion and how it should be offlimits. people's religion should be respect. i know and probably it is true of everyone here the respect we have for our own faith, our own religion, enables us to appreciate the faith, respect people have for their faith. that's why this is so sad because it's an attack on the faith of one of our members.
8:19 pm
sadly but clearly, islamaphobia is a sinister growing and for too many american muslims a constant presence in our nation. to just review some figures, nearly 70% of american muslims have personally experienced anti-muslim discrimination since september 11. thousands of documented acts of anti-muslim bigotry and violence are recorded each year with many thousands unreported. attacks are growing more common and more brazen from vandalism on mosques to physical assaults on women wearing hijabs, hate speech and from public officials to bullying and violence of children at school. think of how the children hear this. and as we all know, the bigotry is targeted at one of our own, shamefully from within this congressional community. racism and bigotry of any form,
8:20 pm
including islamaphobia, must be called out and condemned in any place it is found. this is particularly true in the halls of congress, the heart of our democracy, and where we have a responsibility under the rules of the house to behave in a way that brings dignity to this body. our first president, george washington, there he is, looking over us, over 230 years ago, in a letter to the hebe rue congress re-- hebrew congregation in new port, george washington wrote, happily the government of the united states which gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance, requires only that they who live under the protection should demean themselves as good citizens in giving it on all occasions their effectule support. he himself defining what is the
8:21 pm
right way to live. indeed, bigotry and persecution have always been un-american as demonstrated by our patriarch, george washington. anti-mustalism bigotry affects not only members but many other members of our congressional community. as hundreds of muslim staffers wrote last week, mr. speaker, they wrote this letter. they said, quote, hateful rhetoric by public officials directly impacts us and pours safety at risk. both at the workplace and in our everyday lives. they further went on to say, the muslim staffers whom we value here, we must now come to work every day knowing that the same members and staff who perpetuate islam phobic tropes and insinuate that we are terrorists also walk by us in the halls of congress. that's really frightening.
8:22 pm
disturbingly, islamaphobia is not a unique american experience but a global scourge and as other members have indicated, it is global. earlier this year the u.n. human rights council declared discrimination against muslims has risen to epidemic proportions. around the world we see tragedy and tragic consequences of anti-muslim attitudes. the genocide against the uighur people and other muslim minorities in china. atrocities committed against rohingya in burma, attacks on muslim refugees in central europe and white supremacist violence against muslims in new zealand and canada. targeting of must him -- muslim minority communities in western asia and the middle east. we must confront islamaphobia or any form of racism wherever it is found around the world, in
8:23 pm
our country or even in these very halls. this legislation will not only address the rise in incidents of islamaphobia worldwide but launch a plan to combat this bigotry. thank you, congresswoman schakowsky and congresswoman ilhan omar for your work advancing equity, justice and dignity in our congress, in america and the world on this action. thank you also to the foreign affairs committee chairman, gregory meeks, for your support of this important action. with this bill's passage, mr. speaker, a special envoy for monitoring and combating islamaphobia will be created just as the state department has special envoys on anti-sesmtism -- anti-semitism and international religious freedom. that's something we have always shared in this body, across the aisle and down across the capitol in a bipartisan way,
8:24 pm
support for -- and respect for religious freedom. at home and internationally. this envoy, the special envoy created here, will be charged with establishing a comprehensive strategy to combat islamaphobia worldwide. the state department annual human rights reports will be expanded to include state sponsored us lap -- islam phobic violence and impunity. as a nation that prides itself
8:25 pm
wethese actions must be called t and not tolerated. mr. speaker, everyay prayer. because we believe, we believe in our own way. some don't believe but by and large most people here believe. we do so with reverence for our own real jus beliefs, with respect for the briefs of others. if we didn't have such strong briefs in ourselves and our own religion it would be ok, easily to believe, somebody might be frivolous about respecting someone else's devotion.
8:26 pm
but we do. we all profess to be people of faith. the house will continue to look into an array of options to address this priority and take real action to combat islamaphobia as we have many times taken action to condemn anti-semitism and other forms of bigotry. i thank you, chairman, again, and thank you, mr. speaker. makers of this motion. congresswoman this, and congresswoman omar, i yield back the balance of my time and urge a strong bipartisan vote on this important legislation. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman yields back. the gentleman from texas reserves. the gentleman from new york. mr. meeks: i reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves. the gentleman from texas. mr. mccaul: if the gentleman from new york is prepared to close i'm ready. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from texas is recognized. mr. mccaul: let me first say all of us deplore anti-muslim
8:27 pm
persecution. we're seeing a lot of that in afghanistan today. especially small children. we deplore violence on violence. sunni against shia. no one should ever be attacked, though, or deny their human rights of dignity because of their faith. i believe both sides of the aisle agree on this. and i personally agree with he intent and spirit of this bill. the united states government is rightly committed to opposing these act os violence that we have seen directed at muslims around the world. state department has an office to do so. what i do object to, mr. speaker is the unfortunate circumstance that the bill before us abandoned the usual statutory language about violations of internationally recognized human rights.
8:28 pm
instead, it uses this vague term islamaphobia. look it up on wikipedia, it says it can mean many things. this islamaphobia is not designed, it's not -- you know, we're against the anti-muslim persecution or against international human rights violations against muslims. rather this islamaphobia. in connection with that i'd like to quote a 2016 article from columbia law review that states, quote, there's no singular cogent or consensus definition of islamaphobia. end quote. the university of oslo center for research calls islamaphobia a, quote, contested term. these are law review article, not mine. it goes on further to say the term conflates opposition to
8:29 pm
islam with prejudice toward muslims. these expert descriptions underscore the need for due diligence that this text has not yet received. i wish the minority had been given the opportunity to discuss this bill before it was thrown in on the markup. we all oppose religious persecution, against muslims or any other faith. i'm a catholic. any other believers in any faith should be protected from this hate speech and violence. so for those reasons, because the definition is not provided, islamaphobia is a very broad term that can be subject to many interpretations, if we don't define that in the congress through legislative intent who will? that means we cede our authority over to the executive branch and then they write what is
8:30 pm
islamaphobia means. i wish we had used different terms, terminologies that are in statute under law rather than something that's sort of born of a wikipedia page. to me that's not the way we legislate here. and i've done a lot of great legislation with the chairman, and the previous chairman of this committee. and i intend to keep doing that with him and i appreciate our joint efforts, though, to advance strong responsible bipartisan legislation to protect religious freedom. we're going to have one of those bills coming up right after this one on the uighur muslims and i appreciate that. . i know it's been a heated debate and some things said some things that could be offensive and this is not about one member of congress. this is about our ability to
8:31 pm
come together as americans and come out with a strong bipartisan bill that makes sense so we can send the message around the world that this will not be tolerated just as we're standing up for the uighur muslims with the genocide bill and with the bill that's going to follow this debate that we're having here today. with that, mr. speaker, i want to thank you for the time. mr. chairman, it's been a rig with us debate. we expected this. -- rigorous debate. we expected this. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new york is recognized. mr. meeks: thank you, mr. mccaul, for your statements. we work very closely together, as well as many members in this house, especially in the house foreign affairs committee. strong fighters for human rights. but the question that presents itself with this plain and simple bill that simply calls for us to establish an office to
8:32 pm
monitor and combat islamophobia at the state department, the question is -- do we all agree? i think i heard my colleagues on the other side say islamophobia is wrong. that means you know that islamophobia exists. you know it when you see it, you know it when you feel it, you know when you talk about the uighurs, the rohingya, or those muslims in the united states of america. there is the definition right there. you see it. they've said it. we've said it. islamophobia exists. so what we need to do is call it out. what we need to do is lock arms and stand together. this is a important bill. the camera of history is rolling on us.
8:33 pm
it's an important bill, and it's a bill of consequence. it's of consequence -- should be of consequence to every human being on the planet no matter what your religion and no matter what your race. it's important to nearly two billion muslims in the world. so we need to focus on what this bill does. you know, some of the proudest moments of mine -- i represent one of the most diverse districts in all of the united states in the most diverse county in the united states. and i've seen ugliness raise its ugly head, whether it's racism, anti-semitism, or islamophobia. but the proud moment is when i see muslims and jews walking arm in arm against islamophobia and
8:34 pm
against anti-semitism. when i see people of all races and nationalities standing together, not being silent. inaction is unacceptable. we cannot stand idly by as atrocity after atrocity is inflicted on people of the muslim faith. or any faith. for no reason other than bigotry against their religion. freedom of religion is a human right. we can and we must do better at combating islamophobia. here at home and abroad. so i look, and i wish it was today, but i keep dreams and hope alive that we will lock arms.
8:35 pm
we have good people here. and say in unison, as i've seen people do in my district, we will call islamophobia whenever we see it, the same with racism, the same with anti-semitism. this bill, this bill that everybody's watching -- and we traveled a lot in our committee. we know people watch what happens on this floor. they take it to their gut. and i hope that they look at this bill and know that we're going to call it out and not accept it. silence will not be accepted. and i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. pursuant to house resolution 849, the previous question is ordered on the bill, as amended. the question is on engrossment and third reading of the bill. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no.
8:36 pm
the ayes have it. third reading. the clerk: a bill to department the state, the office to combat islamophobia, and for other purposes. the speaker pro tempore: the question is on passage of the bill. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, the ayes have it. mr. mccaul: mr. speaker. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from texas. mr. mccaul: i request the yeas and nays. the speaker pro tempore: pursuant to section 3-s of house resolution 8, the yeas and nays are ordered. pursuant to clause 8 of rule 20, further proceedings are postponed.
8:37 pm
the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentlewoman from california seek recognition? ms. lofgren: mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent to take from the desk the bill s. 3377, the capitol police emergency assistance act of 2021, and ask for its immediate consideration in the house. the speaker pro tempore: the clerk will report the title of the bill. the clerk: senate 3377, an act to empower the chief of the united states capitol police to unilaterally request the assistance of the d.c. national guard or federal law enforcement agencies in emergencies without prior approval of the capitol police board. the speaker pro tempore: is there objection to the consideration of the bill? without objection, the bill is read a third time and passed, and the motion to reconsider is laid on the table. pursuant to clause 8 of rule 20,
8:38 pm
the chair will postpone further proceedings today on motions to suspend the rules on which the yeas and nays are ordered. the house will resume proceedings on postponed questions at a later time. for what purpose does the gentleman from new york seek recognition? mr. meeks: mr. speaker, i ask that the house suspend the rules and pass h.r. 5256, the uighur labor forced prevention act. the speaker pro tempore: the clerk will report the title. the clerk: a bill goods made with forced labor in the xinjiang uighur autonomous region of the people's republic of china do not enter the united states market, and for other purposes. the speaker pro tempore: pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from new york, mr. meeks, and the gentleman from kentucky, mr. barr, each will control 20 minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from new york.
8:39 pm
mr. meeks: i ask unanimous consent that all members may have five legislative days to revise and extend their remarks and include extraneous material on h.r. 6256. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. meeks: i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. meeks: i rise today in strong support of h.r. 6256, the uighur forced labor prevention act, introduced by my good friend and colleague and chair of the rules committee mcgovern. last week, mr. chairman -- mr. speaker, we passed chair mcgovern's original legislation on the house floor. i heard my republican friends comment that this bill was being slow-walked by the house democrats. that we were supposedly passing chairman mcgovern's bill to stall and negotiate the senate bill. and that even if we did eventually reach agreement, my colleagues across the aisle surmised that the president would not support the
8:40 pm
compromised package. now here we are less than six days later, and a compromise between the house and the senate versions has already been negotiated. and just a few hours ago, unsurprisingly, the biden administration announced that it would sign this vital piece of legislation. the biggest difference between the two packages was the house called for implementation in 120 days. the senate wanted to wait 270 days. we have negotiated them down to 180 days. the crucial protections of this law will come into effect months earlier, months earlier because of house democrats. so let me be clear, this is a good thing because it is a bipartisan measure. and i'm glad that such an
8:41 pm
important legislation will pass with near unanimous support from both parties. that's what this should be. since 2017, the people's republic of china has systematically carried out mass detention, torture, political indoctrination, restrictions on religious practices, inhumane atrocities against uighurs and maebs members of other ethnic and other minority groups in xinjiang. we have seen the people's republic of china expand its extensive program of repression and transform it into state sponsored forced labor. under the guise of vocational training or poverty alleviation, authorities in xinjiang forced thousands of adults and children to work against their will under threat of punishment to produce goods and raw materials that are
8:42 pm
then woven into international supply chains and then to our homes. this bill, which has passed the house before, prohibits the import of goods or merchandise from xinjiang unless the importer can prove the products did not come from forced labor, imposes sanctions on officials facilitating the use of forced labor against chinese ethnic minorities, add important financial disclosures for companies that do business in the region. and it also calls for diplomatic strategy to address forced labor in xinjiang. this is a straightforward bill. it signals that america will not tolerate forced labor and products made from forced labor shall not enter the american marketplace. in 2021, for any country to realize or utilize forced labor
8:43 pm
systemically and to oppress and exploit its population is unconscionable, unacceptable, and indeed, un-american. and we cannot and will not stand idly by. this legislation is critical to showing that we are putting human rights at the center of our foreign and economic policy. and so i support this bill, and i look forward to continuing to work. i want to thank mr. barr. i know mr. mccaul and my colleagues on both sides of the aisle for going forward and speaking up and i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new york reserves. the gentleman from kentucky is recognized. mr. barr: thank you, mr. speaker. i want to thank the chairman of the house foreign affairs committee, my good friend from new york, mr. meeks, for his
8:44 pm
leadership and helping support this legislation, bringing it to the house floor. i want to thank the gentleman from massachusetts for his leadership in recognizing this serious human rights travesty that's happening. i also want to thank the 11 house foreign affairs committee republicans who are co-sponsors of this legislation, including mr. smith of new jersey. i want to thank senator rubio from florida for working with the gentleman from massachusetts on finding a bipartisan and bicameral compromise to bring this important legislation to the floor. and mr. speaker, it is past time for this chamber and the congress to act to stop the chinese communist party from using american consumers to subsidize its brutality. preventing products made with slave labor from contaminating our market is long standing priority of u.s. trade. not just because it puts american manufacturers at a
8:45 pm
disadvantage but because the american values that we all share will not tolerate it. truly free trade cannot involve slave labor. but today, the c.c.p. is using the forced labor of uighurs and other minorities to help bank roll its genocide against those very same groups. the repression taking place right now in xinjiang is breathtaking in its scope and in its brutality. more than a million people have been locked in concentration camps, subjected to surveillance and brainwashing on a massive families are being broken up, children are being taken from their parents. forced sterilization and forced abortion are being used to limit births among ethnic groups targeted by the c.c.p. this is outrageous human rights
8:46 pm
violations and the world cannot turn a blind eye. it is a horrific warning not only to china's neighbors and the american people but to the world. the chinese communist party is fundamentally focused on expanding its power and its authoritarian style of government. it views thing it does not control like religion, cultural identity and the yearning of all people for freedom as threats that must be destroyed. and because we've drawn the c.c.p. into of our most critical supply chains it has the ability to hold our national security hostage while it uses u.s. consumers to subsidize its atrocities. this cannot stand. as many as one in five cotton garments globally are potentially tainted with uighur slave labor. last year, u.s. customs and border protection seized a 13-ton shipment of human hair that originated in xianjing's
8:47 pm
forced labor system. we have a duty to make sure america is not complicit in these sickening labor issues. for that reason i support the bipartisan bill before us today and reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from kentucky reserves. the gentleman from new york is recognized. mr. meeks: it's my pleasure to yield three minutes to the sponsor of this bill, the chairman of the rules committee, from the great state of massachusetts, mr. mcgovern. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for three minutes. mr. mcgovern: thank you. i want to thank chairman meeks for yielding me the time and for his leadership on this important issue. i am glad we are able to move this compromise uighur forced labor prevention act so quickly after the house passed my bill h.r. 1155 last week. i want to thank my partner in this effort in the senate,
8:48 pm
senator marco rubio, for working quickly and diligently with us to negotiate this agreement. i want to especially thank speaker pelosi for her strong moral leadership in getting this done. no one in this body, and i mean no one, has had a more consistent and principled position in standing up for the human rights of the people of china and tibet. she has been a critical part of nearly every single piece of china human rights legislation focused on china that congress has passed in recent years and her steadfast commitment to getting this bill across the finish line is why we are here today. forced lay intor a serious human rights abuse. it's illegal under united states law to import goods made with forced labor. but we are compelled to move this legislation by the genocide and crimes against humanity being committed by the chinese government against uighurs and other muslim minorities of which forced labor is a key factor. we must pass this legislation to
8:49 pm
give americans the peace of mind that the clothes they wear, the food they eat, and the technology that they use are not tainted by forced labor perpetrated by the chinese government. this bill combines my legislation which passed the house by a vote of 420-1 last week and senator ruche io's bill which passed by voice vote into a version both chambers can support. this is a strong, bipartisan, bicameral consensus bill. this bill shortens the time the forced labor import ban goes into effect from 18 -- to 180 days from the senate's 300 days. it requires a strong, clear and convincing evidence standard. it empowers the forced labor enforce. task force to devise and oversee the strategy to prohibit the import of forced labor goods from xianjiang. this is a good bill, a tougher bill than passed the senate.
8:50 pm
i want to thank my house colleagues for their support. i want to thank chairman meeks, ranking member mccaul, chairman neal and chairwoman waters for they work. i want to thank congressman chris smith of new jersey for his work. i want to thank senators rubio and america lee for their work. i want to thank speaker pelosi for her strong and steadfast commitment to getting this done. let's stand up for human rights. let's stand against genocide and against crimes against humanity and let's get the uighur forced labor prevention act to the president's desk as soon as possible. i yield back my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from massachusetts yields back. the gentleman from new york reserves. the gentleman from kentucky is recognized. mr. barr: i'm pleased to yield three minutes to the gentleman from new jersey, mr. smith, a member of this body who for many, many years has been a champion of human rights and frankly no one has done more to advance the cause of human rights than my colleague from new jersey. i'm pleased to yield four
8:51 pm
minutes to the gentleman. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new jersey is recognized. mr. smith: i want to thank the gentleman and thank the chair and ranking member for their work getting this legislation and likeminded legislation moving forward and of course jim mcgovern he and i, he's the prime sponsor, i'm the prime republican co-sponsor, i want to thank him for his leadership on this as well. mr. speaker, miracle tearson said she pleaded with god to end her life as her jailers increased the electricity through her body. she broke down weeping in a november 28 hearing co-sponsored by senator rubio and i as co-dhiefers china commission as she recounted her experience in one of china's infamous
8:52 pm
concentration camps. she testified that there were around 60 people kept in a 430 square feet cell. 10 to 15 women would stand up while the rest would sleep on our sides, she said, there were people there who had not take and shower in over a year. i clearly threap torture, she said. in the tighter -- tighter -- titer chair. it was the interrogation room. there were belts and whips on the wall. i was placed in a high chair that clicked to lock my arms and legs in place and tightened when they pressed the button. she goes on, my head was shaved beforehand for the maximum impact. the authorities put a helmet like thing on my head. each time i was electrocuted, she went on, my whole body would shake violently and i could feel the pain in my veins. i thought i would rather die than go through this torture and
8:53 pm
begged them to kill me. they insulted me with humiliating words and pressured me to admit my guilt. the nights were the bus gijs time in camp she went on. a lot of activity such as transferring people between cells and removing dead bodies would happen all night long. in the silence of the night we could hear the menthe other cells groaning in agony, we could hear the beatings, the men screaming. while burying my 4-month-old baby, she had had triplets, i was tormented and filled with the guilt of not being able to save my son. she admonished us, pleaded with us, to please take action against the chinese officials responsible for my torture, the death of my little boy and the death of so many innocent uighurs in the camps. mr. speaker, there are millions and millions of stories just like this waiting to be told. truly nightmarish accounts of president xi xinping's
8:54 pm
atrocities. this act is important and necessary to end or at least mitigate our complicity in this genocide. let's not forget the documents obtained by "the new york times" make it clear that this has xi xinping's genocide, he ordered it and he will be hosting the olympics next year. she said he showed no mercy in dealing with uighurs and other minorities. in one speech he said the weapons of the people's democratic dictatorship must be wielded without hesitation or wavers. mr. speaker, the uighur forced labor act prevents imports to the u.s. by creating a rebuttal presumption, that is the core of this bill, a presums that all goods produced in the region are
8:55 pm
made with forced labor unless u.s. customs and border protection certifies that they were do not a good bill destherves support of every member of this body and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. the gentleman from kentucky reserves. the gentleman from new york is recognized. mr. meeks: it is my honor to yield three minutes to the representative from the great state of rhode island, a member of the foreign affairs committee, representative david cicilline. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for three minutes. mr. cicilline: thank you, mr. speaker. i thank the gentleman for yielding. i thank him for his bipartisan leadership on this issue and so many issues that come before the committee. i want to begin by acknowledging the leadership of the speaker who has been an advocate and strong supporter of uighurs for many, many years. i rise in support of this act to ensure the united states does all we can to condemn the
8:56 pm
appalling human rights record of the united states government against the chinese government. with the ongoing genocide against' uighurs and the crackdown on democracy and rule of law in hong kong, the world has seen what chinese leadership in the world would mean. a rejection of human rights. commitment to authoritarianism and abandonment of the rule of law. members of the uighur population have been forced to live in squalor, forced to abandon their children and forced to work. many have been tortured, many have died all have suffered. policies undertaken there continue to stir the conscious and represent the most agonizing human rights catastrophes ever. they should give anyone in the civilized world a pause. they've mandated aabortions, sterilized men and women, farcably taken children from their families and sent them to
8:57 pm
re-education centers. they monitor the movements an online activities of many ensuring uighurs and other minorities are robbed of privacy and they force the uighurs an other minorities to work at factory nor pays and with no recourse. what has happened to the uighur population was not born out of spontaneous brutality, it's been a well-planned endeavor designed to extinguish a population china finds undesirable. this is a systemic policy that denies the uighurs their humanity, their dignity and seeks to denee them their existence. we must do all we can to ensure the clarion call of "never again" reverberates around the world. this ensures that goods imported into the united states are not made with forced labor. i want to thank chairman mcforeign for his ex-trynary leadership and urge my colleagues to support the uighur forced labor prevention act and thank the chairman for his courtesy and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. the gentleman from new york
8:58 pm
reserves. the gentleman from kentucky. mr. barr: i'm ready close if the gentleman is. mr. meeks: i reserve, ready to close. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from kentucky is recognized. mr. barr: thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, in recent years the world has scood by as the chinese communist party detained more than one million ethnic minorities in concentration camps where they're tortured, brainwashed and put into forced labor. this is part of a deliberate program by the c.c.p. to wipe out their ethnic identity, their religion, their culture, anything that might compete with the communist party for their loyalties and affection. we have a moral duty to speak out against these horrifying crimes. but we have an even greater duty to avoid funding this genocide by paying for slave labor in the area. many american companies have built their businesses on values that include respect for basic human rights. the united states must continue to lead the world in setting
8:59 pm
corporate responsibility standards. there can no longer be business as usual with china. the world is watching. while this bill didn't go through regular order in the foreign acompares committee -- foreign affairs committee, i commend chairman mcgovern and senator rubio for coming to this agreement. it's good to have a bipartisan will ill -- bill where we stand united in one voice for human rights and to hold the chi nays party accountable. i support this bill and i urge my colleagues to support this bill and yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. the gentleman from new york is recognized. mr. meeks: thank you, mr. speaker. h.r. 6256, the uighur forced labor prevention act, is an opportunity for this body to send a resounding message -- message to the world that we are engaged in a stray teemic competition with china around the world and our stance on this
9:00 pm
issue i believe will define why our system is better. we aggressively opotes forced labor and islamaphobia. and we will back up our values with our actions. and in this major piece of legislation, we're doing it together. democrats and republicans. working with my ranking member mccaul and others. because it's the right thing to do. it's the right message to send. so let us do it. let us get it out. let us stand tall. let us be true to our values. let not china get away with
9:01 pm
islamaphobia. and let's make sure we wipe out islamaphobia, racism, and anti-semitism from all corners of this place that we call the planet earth. and i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the question is will the house suspend the rules and pass the bill as amended? those in favor say aye. -- as introduced, i apologize. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. the bill is passed and without objection the motion to reconsider is laid on the table.
9:02 pm
9:03 pm
the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from new york seek recognition? >> by direction of the committee on rules i call up house resolution 852 and ask for its immediate consideration. the speaker pro tempore: the clerk will report the resolution. the clerk: recovered that upon adoption of this relose -- resolution it shall be in order to consider the house joint resolution related to increasing the debt limit. all points of order against consideration of the joint resolution are waived. the joint resolution shall be considered as read. all points of order against the joint provision are waived. the previous question shall be considered as ordered on the resolution and on any amendment thereto to final passage without intervening motion except one, one hour of debate equally divided and controlled by the ranking minority member on ways and means or their respective
9:04 pm
designees and two, one motion to recommit, one motion to commit. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new york is recognized for one hour. >> more purposes of debate only i yield the customary 30 minutes, my colleague if the rules committee, the gentleman from texas, pending which i yield myself such time as i may consume. all time yielded is for purposes of debate only. i ask unanimous consent that all members be given five legislative days to revise and extend their remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. >> mr. speaker, today the rules committee met and reported a rule, house resolution 852, providing for consideration of s.j.res. 33 a joint resolution relating to increasing the debt limit under a closed rule. the rule provides one with our of -- one hour of debate equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking member of the committee on ways and means or their designees and provides one meigs to -- one motion to commit.
9:05 pm
mr. morelle: i urge my colleagues to continue the rule and support lifting the nation's debt ceiling. failing to lift the debt ceiling and the galt -- defaults on on our debt is not an option. it could result in the less of millions of jobs and $15 trillion in household wealth. mr. zandy characterized it as financial armageddon and jamie die monohas gone further statine further stating that it could cause an immediate, literally cascading catastrophe and damage america for 100 years. earlier this year a bipartisan group of secretaries said
9:06 pm
protecting u.s. credit boaterriness is a sack ro sank responsibility. i couldn't agree more. let's be clear what we're talking about here. the debt limit is a total. a money that the united states government is authorized to borrow to meet its existing legal obligations. including social security and medicare benefits, payments to veterans and service members and tax refunds. the debt limit does not authorize any new spending. let me repeat that. the debt limit does not authorize any new spending. it simply alowls the government to pay its bills -- allows the government to pays i bills for obligations -- bills for obligations it has already incurred. much of this debt was accruesed on a bipartisan basis. it includes emergency measures to combat the pandemic and increase defense spending. while many other the other side of the aisle have tried to try raising the debt ceiling, it should be noted that 97% of the total national debt accrued
9:07 pm
before president biden even took office. since 1960, congress has acted 78 times to address the debt limit. 49 times under republican presidents, and 29 times under democratic presidents. in the last 10 years, the debt limit has been addressed seven times on a bipartisan basis, including three times during the last administration, during which i'd like to remind my republican colleagues $7.8 trillion of the total national debt was incurred. arguments about raising the debt ceiling can become nonsensical. in the current discourse, both sides of the aisle have greet greed to spend federal dollars on important programs. only one side of the aisle believes we should actually fulfill our obligations to pay our creditors for those very same programs. mr. speaker, if we choose not to honor our obligations to creditors, what message does that send to the american people and, frankly, the rest of the world? every day -- everyday americans paid their bills and honor their
9:08 pm
commitment, why shouldn't we do the same? mr. speaker, it's frankly outrageous to hold the position that we shouldn't be held to the same standard as families who work hard to find a way to pay their bills every day. i urge my colleagues to support 9:00 and ensuring that america can continue to pay its bills and honor its obligations and mr. speaker, i reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new york lee serves. mr. burgess: i yield myself such time as i may consume. this rule frois for consideration of h.j.res. 33, a bill to raise the debt ceiling. the federal debt ceiling began over 100 years and it has been required to be raised 100 times since then. the problem isn't whether we should increase our debt limit but it is whether we should
9:09 pm
issue debts. and what you make and what you spend. when you spend more than you make, you have to pay for the spending. so we are in the middle of a spending spree in the last 11 months. $100 trillion spent on partisan priorities and more likely coming if the democrats manage to get a agreement on the build back better act or what might be described as a socialist spending scam. the congressional office confirm that the bill's true cost to be almost $5 thrillion, 4.9 trillion while adding dislrs 3 trillion in new debt. democrats claim the bill is paid for. that is not true and now it is confirm by independent analysis,
9:10 pm
instead of zero dollars, the bill will create a carve out that will add $250 million to the deficit and will protect so-called green companies from a new minimum tax and provide $12 million tax credits for purchasing an electric vehicle so long as that vehicle is made using union labor. and that's what is being pushed in the build back better act. the infrastructure bill that the democrats ushered into law we wires a transfer from treasury
9:11 pm
to the highway trust fund that janet yellen said will occur tomorrow december 15. democrats will not support raising the debt limit while they push through trillion dollars and depleting it for generations to come. all this spending will only exacerbate the high rate of inflation, inflation which is crippling so many americans and causing so much suffering. according to the bureau of labor statistics, the consumer price index rose by .8%. the most significant increase was in the energy sector and while prices go up for gas, food, shelter and other things,
9:12 pm
we have only seen the tip of the iceberg when it comes to inflation likely inflation rates by march are going to be absolutely astonishing and that is what happens when you push dollars in an economy that has no way to absorb them. we noted in the cares act to rescue the country and there was additional coronavirus relief passed in december and immediately, another coronavirus bill in february and then the transportation bill in september and now the build back better act and the economy cannot absorb those dollars. they have not place to go except to create more and more inplace and who does it hurt? the people at the lower-income
9:13 pm
scale. despite this, senator mcconnell, democrats have refused to raise the debt ceiling through reconciliation. they have the majorities in the house and the senate. they had ample time but would not act. so instead a temporary extension happened earlier this year and once again in the middle of the night we are voting on a bill to increase the national debt to pay for the democrats' infrastructure policy. democrats claim that raising the debt limit has been part of history. in 199 # rntion the dim cats used reconciliation in the omnibus reconciliation bill. in 2010, the democrats raised the debt limit on a purely
9:14 pm
party-line vote. the then obama administration and the amount of spending, a "new york times" reporting on the vote said, quote, they wanted to raise the debt ceiling to avoid putting their members through a vote prior to the midterm elections. you think history is repeating itself tonight? financial success begins way before it is realized. we cannot be reckless with the nation's future now. nowhere now is this and the build back better act paid for. we have to be beneficial and be demonstrable and should not be raising the debt limit to allow for continuation of social spending. i urge opposition to the rule and i reserve the balance of my
9:15 pm
time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new york is recognized. >> i'm not a very sophisticated guide and i will tell you this, i would love to have a philosophical debate and have a cup of coffee with the gentlemanfrom texas and find common practice relative to spending and taxing. none of what dr. burgess said has anything to do with what we are doing here today. 97% of the debt tay we incurred as a nation happened before joe biden took office. and talking about build back better, that is something that is prospective. we are talking about paying the
9:16 pm
bills of things we already agreed to pay for. it has nothing to do, and i appreciate the gentleman because he's trying to bring to this debate many things that have no rel vabs here, apparently to make a better case, but we have a decision before us that's a serious one. it not only effects the credit worthiness of the united states, but effects global markets. this would be, as i indicated earlier, catastrophic. this is arm geddan -- armageddon if it doesn't happen. just to note, in 2016, prior to the election of the previous administration, the national debt was $19.5 trillion or 105% of g.d.p. in 2020 when the administration's time had run its course, the debt had rizin to $27.7 trillion. or 129% of g.d.p. a $7.8 trillion increase. included in that was a $1.9
9:17 pm
trillion tax cut which hasn't paid for itself which has added dramatically to the debt. but the debt has been accumulated during decades of real needs by the american public. so we could have a conversation and frankly the discussion about spending takes place in the appropriations committee, takes place in the budget committee, taxation takes place in the ways and means committee, what we're doing now is making a decision to pay our bills. fundamentally, bottom line, doesn't require a lot of sophistication or talk about financial markets. it's clearly a simple question. are we going to pay for the things that we have agreed to buy? and that's it. it's as simple as you could be. every household in america makes those decisions. you get something, you get a bill in the mail, you pay for it. even if you've had buyer's remorse, even if your wife says to you that that exercise thing you bought which is going to be the most expensive coat hanger in the house because you're not
9:18 pm
going to use it, we still pay for it because it's in the house and we bought it. that's as simple as it could possibly be. with that, i reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new york reserves. the gentleman from texas. mr. burgess: thank you, mr. speaker. i yield myself as much time as i may consume. mr. speaker, if we defeat the previous question, republicans will amend the rule to immediately consider an amendment to the democrats' fiscal year 2022 budget resolution to replace the socialist $5 trillion tax and spend reconciliation instructions with new instructions for authorizing committees to produce legislation to reduce the deficit, combat runaway inflation, currently fueling the highest price spike in 40 years. and to get americans back to work. mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent to insert the text of this amendment into the record, along with extraneous material immediately prior to the vote on the previous question and i would now like to yield four minutes -- the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. burgess: i would like now to yield four minutes to the ranking member of the budget committee, mr. smith from
9:19 pm
missouri, to explain the amendment. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from missouri is recognized for four minutes. mr. smith: thank you, mr. speaker. if we defeat the previous question, we will consider an amendment to the rule to replace the socialist $5 trillion tax and spend reconciliation instructions from the fiscal year 2022 budget with a new call, a new call for committees to draft the legislation to reduce the deficit, to combat runaway inflation, and help get americans back to work. this country has been through a lot in the past year. under one party rule by the washington democrats. and president biden. we have an inflation crisis, we have an energy crisis, we have a border crisis and we have a supply chain crisis. and contributing to it all is a leadership crisis at the oval
9:20 pm
office. with all of these problems, you'd think democrats would finish the year, that they would finish the year at directing just one, just one of those issues. but instead, mr. speaker, we are here on the last day of session for the year, and democrats have chosen, democrats have chosen to spend this valuable time attacking former president trump. and his staff. attacking members of the republican conference. and they've even found room to include a $2.5 trillion increase to the debt ceiling. in fact, since speaker pelosi took the gavel in the house in 2019, house democrats have added more than $9 trillion, house
9:21 pm
democrats since 2019 have added more than $9 trillion to the national debt. which is more than the combined deficits under all 72 years that republicans have ever been in the majority. the american people, the american people, mr. speaker, they deserve a congress that is focused on the problems that they are facing in their everyday lives. a congress that is delivering on policies to stop the runaway rise in prices, a problem that has now reached a 40-year high. even president biden's budget in may predicted inflation at 2%, 2%, mr. speaker. we are now at over 7%. the highest inflation in 40 years.
9:22 pm
the white house administration says inflation is a high-class problem, mr. speaker. i'll tell you, the people across america believe it's a real problem. they care about the prices in the grocery store. they don't care about the prices in the stock mark. but you know what, house democrats argue and say inflation is transitory. now they're finally agreeing that these rising costs in prices are actually having a real impact. we could be working on legislation to actually help american families by reducing the cost of energy here in the winter. to do that we need to get rid of the reconciliation instructions in the democrats' budget. the same reconciliation plan that has paralyzed washington for months as democrats fought over how to spend $5 trillion. $5 trillion.
9:23 pm
even the congressional budget office on friday, on friday confirmed that what came out of this chamber a few weeks ago did not cost zero, it cost $5 trillion. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for an additional two minutes. mr. smith: the official congressional score keepers said on friday that the build back broke bill that passed out of here a couple weeks ago did not cost $1.5 trillion, did not cost $2 trillion, but cost $5 trillion. but this administration will say it cost zero. the american people see right through it. they see right through this mesothelioma. and they know, they don't want this. they know that this is nothing but hogwash.
9:24 pm
it is hogwash, mr. speaker. and we should instead replace, replace all of these reconciliation instructions to bring forward a plan to reduce the deficit and stop the inflation that is destroying family budgets. mr. speaker, i ask all my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to defeat the previous question so that we can actually work on legislation. work on legislation to help american families at the supermarket. to help combat a price spike that is pushing working families to the brink. and to actually provide some real solutions this week on behalf of the american people whom we represent in this body. i yield back, mr. speaker. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the gentleman from texas reserves. the gentleman from new york is recognized. mr. morelle: thank you so much, mr. speaker.
9:25 pm
i appreciate mr. smith's enthusiasm and exuberance. the arguments that folks would make that house democrats are responsible for the spending of the trump administration and the trump white house, that argument is frankly absurd and happened during a global pandemic. so we had much work to do to spare the american public. but i'm going to do this move by the spirit of the season. i'm going to bestow a gift on members and i'm going to not rebut point by point but reserve and allow my colleague to speak. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. the gentleman from texas is recognized. mr. burgess: thank you, mr. speaker. at this time i'm pleased to recognize the gentleman from texas and yield to him two minutes. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from texas is recognized for two minutes. >> thank you, mr. speaker. you know, if our friends across the aisle are concerned about paying our bills and they're alarmed by the debt, then i think we should all get together, all 435 members, and
9:26 pm
talk about fiscal responsibility. and pass a balanced budget amendment. that is the way forward and to avert this financial catastrophe that we're flirting with. let's be very candid, mr. speaker, about what we're doing here. let's be candid with the american people about what we're doing here in the chamber tonight. mr. fallon: this is about a debt ceiling limit increase to ram through more wasteful and reckless spending. we are renovating our house in texas. and i found an old political mailer. 9-year-old mailer. i was outraged about the fact that we had a $14 trillion debt. today that's $29 trillion. it's not about placing blame on reallies or -- republicans or democrats, it's about recognizing we have an issue that's going to destroy this country if we don't address it. we're going to continue to kick the can down the road and land that can on the back of future generations like my 15-year-old son and 12312-year-old son. there are failed states in this world. here's a $100 trillion bill from
9:27 pm
the nation of zimbabwe. it's worth maybe 40 cents. it's essentially worthless. that could be what we end up with if we don't recognize the fact that at the local level, cities can't spend more than they take in, counties can't. even states can't. so why does the federal government get to? because we own a printing press down the street? let's be responsible. let's work together. this chamber 20-plus years ago passed a balanced budget amendment if i'm not mistakenned and it failed in the senate. it's time to do the right thing, the courageous thing, the american people and pass a balanced budget amendment. mr. speaker, i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the gentleman from texas reserves. the gentleman from new york is recognized. mr. morelle: well, i just note, i wonder when the gentleman finished his home's renovations whether he paid the contractor or refused to pay because he might be tempted to do renovations in the future. with that, i'll yield back. or i reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves the balance
9:28 pm
of his time. the gentleman from texas. mr. burgess: is the gentleman prepared to close? the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from texas is recognized. mr. burgess: i yield myself the balance of our time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. burgess: mr. speaker, just before i close i do want to take a moment and acknowledge that it was one year ago last night that fedex trucks departed from michigan carrying the very first doses of what we now know as the pfizer biotech vaccine. when you stop and reflect upon what was accomplished between the middle of may and the middle of december of 2020, it truly was a startling scientific accomplishment. not one, not two, but three vaccines. we told ourselves at the beginning of operation warp speed process that if we got 40% to 45% effectiveness, it would
9:29 pm
be a victory. those vaccines delivered an excessive 90%. people might quibble and say, well, you got to get a booster or you got to get an additional shot. we are so fortunate to have those tools to be able to combat this illness. we're by no means through. even last week the additional news that now an oral medication, the tamiflu for coronavirus is now available, which i submit is going to change with the application of additional therapeutics, it's really going to change the equation. i wanted to take a minute and reflect on that. we are, again, just one day past the one-year -- 1-year anniversary of michigan delivering that vaccine to the world. otherwise in closing to this argument, raising the debt kreeling to $2.5 trillion does seem a bit irresponsible in the middle of unprecedented spending by house democrats.
9:30 pm
you know, you've got control of the white house and the senate. you've got control of the house. and you haven't passed a single appropriations bill. i mean, how are we supposed to run our business if we will not do our normal work and pass a budget and pass the 12 appropriations bills? the feders operating under the second continuing resolution under this fiscal year. one-third is date of birth through discretionary appropriations. that means 2/3 comes through on auto pile on the and the amount we are going to control, one-third of the federal budget, we haven't done our work and we are paying for trillions of dollars in spending and the democrats won't fund through regular appropriations.
9:31 pm
and that comes through at a cost. it is very difficult to get a phone call answered by a federal agency, by the head of a federal agency, by a cabinet secretary because we no longer make the appropriations and these folks are relatively new and they have no history of knowing they have to come to congress to get their appropriations bills passed and they basically ignore the congress. democrats are pushing through as much social spending as they can because the balance of power is getting ready to change. why are they so reckless with the americans eve taxpayer dollars. we can't raise the debt limit to allow for trillions in partisan spending and here's the real problem that is going to lead to that balance power of shift.
9:32 pm
it is at inflation that haven't been seen since the carter administration and my predict is over the next six months this will be worse and will be unsustainable for most american families who live paycheck-to-paycheck and on top of that, it is a spending level that is driving that inflation level and we're doing nothing to put the brakes on that. so, again, i'm going to urge a no vote on the previous question so we can get to the talks of fiscal sanity and no on the underlying measure and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time the gentleman is recognized. mr. morelle: let me echo comments about the vaccine and i urge every american to get
9:33 pm
vaccine and i urge people who have chosen not to get the vaccine and those who are available to do a third shot and we encourage every american to do that and thank those who made it possible. i want to thank my colleagues. as i mentioned earlier, protecting u.s. credit worthyness and it would be an abdication to fail to address the debt limit and ensure that the government pays its bills. we have had that the measure is not about new spending no matter times, it's not about new spending and we are ensuring that we are paying its obligations. pretending otherwise is a disservice. i urge a yes vote on the rule and previous question and i
9:34 pm

the yeas are 219 and the nays are 212. the bill is passed and without objection, the motion to reconsider is laid on the table.
11:32 pm
the speaker pro tempore: the house will come to order. members, please remove your conversations to the cloakroom. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from virginia seek recognition? >> pursuant to house resolution 852 i call up house resolution 33. the clerk: senate joint resolution 33, joint resolution relating to increasing the debt limit. the speaker pro tempore: the house is not in order. pursuant to house resolution 852, the house joint resolution
11:33 pm
is read and shall be debatable for one hour equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking minority member of the committee on ways and members. the gentleman from virginia, mrm texas, mr. brady, each will control 30 minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from virginia. mr. beyer: i ask unanimous consent that members may have five legislative days to insert extraneous material on senate joint resolution 33. i yield myself such time as i may consume. the house will take action. house joint resolution 33 will pay pits bills. for the first time in our history, the united statesgovernment could default
11:34 pm
on its debt obligations because of the debt limit and could be ruinous for americans. and resulting in catastrophic economic damage with millions of jobs lost and businesses shuttered and a banking system in chaos. we risk the loss of six million jobs and unemployment rate of 9% and household wealth and decline in real g.d.p. of 4%. mark zandi predicted following a default the panic on the scale of the 2008 financial crisis would environs issue. jamie diamond predicted that a default could cause an immediate catastrophe of unbelievable proportions. the united states were to default and would downgrade the
11:35 pm
credit that would increase for mortgages, student loans, car loans and other borrowing and would threaten the livelihoods. i want to be very clear, raising the debt ceiling is not about incurring new debts but the federal government keeps its commitment that it pays the bills it already racked up. we are meeting rocketses with the military and recipients of medicaid and medicare. and this was accrued prior to the biden administration. this includes emergency pandemic relief measures increased defense spending. madam speaker, the time to act is now. treasury secretary has issued a dire warning. without action tomorrow the government would be left without
11:36 pm
sufficient funds. 15 million funds could be not receiving checks. millions of people who rely on the child tax credit could see delays. our recovery would go into recession. and the 2011 debt crisis, avoiding a default. while raising the debt ceiling does not create new debt. congress has raised the debt limit 79 times. 30 times with democrats in the white house and 49 times under a republican president. and and did so without drama. today's action should be no different. i urge my colleagues to continue paying our bills.
11:37 pm
i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from virginia reserves. the gentleman from texas is recognized. mr. brady: i yield myself such time as i may consume. in 2018 nancy pelosi, leader whip hoyer voted to default on the debt, shut down the government and refused to give relief to communities. republicans controlled the senate, house and the white house, responsibility rests on their shoulders. democrats control the house and senate and the white house and responsibility rests on their shoulders. democrats have known this day been coming for two years and did nothing. they passed no budget or appropriations bills and didn't spend a moment in bipartisan
11:38 pm
outreach to address the debt ceiling. we shouldn't ignore the future financial crisis and passed $5 trillion socialist plan. despite to shift plame, democrats cle ated and increasing america's national debt is necessary to make room in the so-called build back better bill for trillions of special handouts. make no mistake, the debt ceiling is not merely about past spending but making room for trillions that will pour more fuel. the highest rate in decades that robbed families of their gains
11:39 pm
in the past three years. the democrats in congress continue to deny that inflation is real, this is now a crisis for families and especially seniors on fixed incomes. their claim that this costs zero has been debunked by the congressionalbudget office. in fact check is false and misleading in the "washington post." and future will be paid for begs the question they refuse to answer. there are only two ways to raise it. tax middle class families and rob from medicare and medicaid. the democrats need this to fund special interests and give tax subsidies for lucks your vehicles and tax windfalls while
11:40 pm
the middle class get nothing or even a tax hike. they need this tax hike to give it to trial lawyers and pay workers more to stay home than go back to work. democrats need a quarter of a trillion dollars to lift the salt cap so two out of three millionaires will get a huge tax break. meanwhile for working families, it it is worse and and more parents will pay more for child care under build back better. these are president biden's priorities. congressional democrats, these are their priorities. the question, america, are these your priorities? the answer is no. which is why so many americans overwhelmingly question the
11:41 pm
competence of president biden and democrats to lead this country. i urge a strong no vote on this bill. and i reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from texas reserves. the gentleman from virginia is recognized. mr. beyer: i reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves the balance of his time the gentleman from texas is recognized. mr. brady: i yield one minute to the gentleman from ohio, mr. davidson. >> it is not compassion nature to bankrupt america. that is what this plan does. it equips this country with more debt with no plan to pay for the future debt. it is a debt bomb and something this body has an obligation to stop. this country is on auto pilot for a crash site. the whole point of the debt ceiling is to force this body to do its body and come up with a
11:42 pm
plan not to default. the question isn't whether we default tomorrow and of course we should pay our debts and shouldn't default in the future and unless we come up with a different course of action, i will oppose it and i encourage my colleagues to oppose it and until we avert the crisis in the crash that is coming. don't bankrupt america. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time the gentleman from texas reserves. the gentleman from virginia. mr. beyer: i reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves the balance of his time the gentleman from texas. mr. brady: i yield two minutes to the gentleman from alabama, mr. palmer. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for two minutes. mr. palmer: i thank the gentleman for his leadership. the congressionalbudget office said it will increase the
11:43 pm
deficit by $3 trillion putting truth that the bills are paid for. it is not thrvment is another c.b.o. report that was released erltier this fall that should be front and center. here's what that report says about the direction america is heading. according to c.b.o., america's debt will be over 200% and twice the size of our entire economy. that report said a growing debt burden would increase the risk of higher inflation and undermine confidence in the u.s. dollar making it more costly to finance public activity in international markets. the c.b.o. reported with growing debt and rising interest rates, net spending triples relative to the size of the economy.
11:44 pm
the c.b.o. warned that such high debt levels will slow economic output and raise the risk of a fiscal crisis. there was a warning that the nation's outlook was on air raid siren that could be heard for miles and apparently my democrat colleagues are deaf to that shieren and want to raise it by $2.5 trillion and continue with reckless spending with no regard to our future. that is the wrong path and dangerous path and every member should heed the warnings and vote no. thank you and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time the gentleman from texas reserves. the gentleman from virginia is recognized.
11:45 pm
mr. beyer: i yield one minute to the most distinguished of the house, the gentlelady from california, ms. pelosi. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady from california, the distinguished speaker is recognized. the speaker: i thank you for yielding me time and bringing this important legislation and i say that with many bills and let me say what this means for america's families. we must lift the debt kreeling to cover the expenses already incurred. it's important to note 95% of it incurred during the trump administration, under 4% of it during the biden administration. but sadly republicans have not only abandoned the
11:46 pm
responsibility we have in all of this, this is what it means to you. for families, it would mean millions of american jobs eliminated. trillions in household wealth erased. reducing the value of the dollar and an immediate reversal of a strong economic recovery. six million jobs already under joe biden. and having a terrible impact globally for decades to come. just, just the discussion of not lifting the debt ceiling a number of years ago when the republicans in congress were refusing to do so lowered the credit rating of the united states of america. our constitution says and it makes clear, the validity of the public debt of the united states authorized by law shall not be
11:47 pm
questioned. so i just want to point out this other fact. if you have a car loan, if you have a mortgage, if you have a student loan, if you have credit card bills, any other borrowing, your interest rate will go up. unless we lift the debt ceiling. this has a direct impact on the pockets of the american people, on the prospects for their success. let's be clear, republicans want less money in the pockets for the american people, for whatever reasons. i don't know what the middle class and working families ever did to them, for them to want to exact this toll on our economy, on our standing in a strong forr
11:48 pm
this legislation so we spare families the pain of a caddying strosk -- catastrophic default and uphold our duty in the constitution of the united states. to uphold the full faith and credit of the united states of america. with that, madam speaker, i yield back the balance of my time and urge an aye vote on this. i again thank mr. beyer for his leadership on this issue and mre committee as well. thank you. the speaker pro tempore: the distinguished speaker of the house yields back. the gentleman from texas is recognized. mr. brady: thank you. i'm prepared to close at this time.
11:49 pm
madam speaker, i yield myself such time as i may use. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from texas is recognized for such time as he may consume. mr. brady: thank you, madam speaker. just a reminder. 2018, democratic leader, nancy pelosi, leader hoyer, whip clyburn, 116 other democrats voted to default on america's debt. to shut down our government at the same time. and refused to devastate families across america, including in texas. as they said, republicans controlled the house, the senate and the white house, the responsibility to govern rests squarely on their shoulders. another reminder, the american public. our democrat friends have known this date's been coming for two years. this is a crisis that they created. didn't boghter to pass a budget. didn't do their appropriations bill. no bipartisan outreach. waited again and again for this cliff and created this crisis.
11:50 pm
it's been frustrating to watch this go on. and too i know middle class americans, one out of every three, will see a tax hike in the build back better bill two out of three millionaires get a huge tax cut. a quarter of a trillion dollars of this debt ceiling, a quarter of a trillion dollars of this increase will go to millionaires and billionaires and other wealthy americans. not to mention the heat your home tax, the toddler tax on middle class families, the made in america tax on our main street businesses. it's now clear, president biden is a paycut president. even as most americans work hard to get ahead in their careers and workplace, they're now falling behind every month of this presidency. they've lost three years of real wage growth, went backwards in getting ahead. just in spring americans are losing an average $377 a month
11:51 pm
in real purchasing power. who's the party for the middle class and working familys? not democrats. who are robbing inflation from their paychecks. adding another $5 trillion of inflation fire will only cause prices to continue to grow faster than paychecks. the middlele class is on the hook for democrats. lavish subsidies for luxury electric vehicles and tax cuts for the wealthy. over half of families with two kids who pay for child care will be forced to pay a $27,000 toddler tax each year under the democrats' washington takeover of child care. all this hurts american workers and their families, the poor and the seniors. we ought to stop this economic suppression. we ought to stop this attack on
11:52 pm
middle class and working families. we ought to make pro-growth tax reform permanent that lifted millions of americans out of poverty, brought jobs back from overseas and for the first time started to strengthen income inequality. families in america, their household income grew more in one year under president trump and republicans than in all eight years of president obama and biden combined. combined. we believe there's a smarter way to help american working families but i know this. democrats are wrong to fight for $5 trillion of social is spending that will send jobs overseas, limit choice in child care, worsen health care and lower paychecks by claiming inflation longer and making the worker shortage worse. we can't afford to pay cut presidency. i once again urge my colleagues to vote no on this measure.
11:53 pm
and i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from texas yields back the balance of his time. the gentleman from virginia is recognized. mr. beyer: thank you, madam speaker. very briefly, my republican friends would like to make this debate about the bipartisan infrastructure bill and about the build back better bill. despite the fact that these are wildly popular with the american people. listening to my republican friends it sounds like we are in a desperate country. instead of one that's created six million jobs so far this year, an all-time record, there's a 6% g.d.p. growth expected this year. unemployment rate is 4.2%. it's recovering faster than any time in american history. we are about to fund daycare for the american working families, putting 3 and 4-year-olds to school. child tax credit will be extended. our infrastructure bill is going to mr. more roads and highways. electrical grid, broadband, all of this in two bills that are
11:54 pm
paid for. that are paid for every penny. and when people suggest the benefits may be extended, we've also promised to pay for them if that in fact happens. this house did the appropriations bill, but in the senate they require 60 votes. the appropriations bill didn't happen over there. but this is not about two very good bills, two paid for bills that don't increase the deficit, that don't add to inflaition. it's about the simple fact that we need to pay our bills. a simple bill that's supposed to be simple. during the trump administration the republicans had $7.9 trillion, 50%, to the national debt. their tax cut and jobs act alone added $1.9 trillion. we have to pay for that. that's what we're paying for tonight. i urge my colleagues, democratic and republican, to vote for this good senate joint resolution to lift the debt ceiling and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from virginia yields back. all time having been yielded,
