the white house, 400,000 migrants are apprehended, attempting to illegally enter the united states in f.y. 2018 alone. along the way, reports from nonpartisan organizations state that one in three women are sexually assaulted on the trip north. they also have to pass through something called the route of death. do we really want to incentivize people to make this trek? a wall and a crackdown on illegal immigration would surely disincentivize migrants and save lives. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. mr. green: thank you, mr. speaker. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. the chair recognizes the gentleman from florida, mr. yoho, for five minutes. mr. yoho: thank you, mr. speaker. today i'd like to honor the memory of a friend, a man from ocala, florida, a man i consider a friend of mine, mr. al dunlap. i had the pleasure of meeting mr. dunlap at a charity event in my district where he and his wife, judy, of 50 years were providing scholarships for local schoolchildren. a self-described nothing kid from the slums of hoboken, new jersey, he was

we're here to see if we can place the final very important piece to the puzzle of the f.y. 2019 appropriations process. i'm optimistic and many of us have expressed optimism that if we work hard and work together, with mutual respect for one another, and with the sense of duty to achieve the job we've been sent here to do, we can deliver an outcome that illustrates the important role, the legislative branch plays in providing for our country's priorities and avoids for the american people the unacceptable outcomes another lapse in appropriations would create. one of the proposals recently considered by the senate is a solution built upon a strong foundation. senator chester and i laid that foundation last june when our bill advanced through the senate appropriation committee on a broad bipartisan vote of 26-5. of the senators seated on this conference committee, six of the seven of us voted in favor for the capito-tester bill. we are still working on senator durbin.

in section 1274 of the f.y. 2019 ndaa, required the secretary of defense to review whether members of the armed forces or coalition partners at the u.s. abused or witnessed abuse of detainees during operations in yemen. d.o.d. submitted this report to congress last month and in the unclassified summary concluded that, quote, d.o.d. has determined that d.o.d. personnel have neither observed nor been omplicit in any cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment of detainees in yemen. can you say a brief word about how d.o.d. reached this conclusion? mr. votel: we principally derived that based on discussions and reports from the people that we have on the ground and what they have seen. we obviously take this very seriously. our individuals that are in positions where they might see some of this are under the obligation to report this. i do routinely receive reports, many of them unsubstantiated, and not just linked to yemen, but to other areas in which we operate, where there have been -- our people have received a report of abuse and we have a reporting mechanism for that and so we do take th
