sanchez. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i'd like to thank the staff for including my amendment in this package which recognizes and honors the service of women in the military. currently there are 201,000 women in act everybody duty, and there are 156,000 women serving in the national guard and reserves. and servicewomen have valiantly served and sacrificed their lives in "operation iraqi freedom and enduring freedom and freedom centennial, operation new dawn" and continue to serve in "operation inherent resolve." and i don't believe thaters that anyone in this room who would question the invaluable contribution service that women have made to the security and to the defense of our nation. time and time again, so many people have doubted and questioned the value of having women in the military. however, time and time again, these brave women have proven to us that they are indispensable and a part of the united states armed forces. last year we had the first three women to graduate from army ranger school, all from west poi

sanchez: thank you, mr. conyers, for your leadership and for organizing this special order to highlight the grave consequences of senate republican obstructionism by blocking a simple up or down vote on the nomination of judge merit garland to the supreme court. republicans claim to love the constitution, yet they refuse to acknowledge their constitutional duty. senate republicans have chosen to play politics instead of doing what's right for the american people. they simply don't want to do their job. president obama faithfully fulfilled his constitutional duty by nominating chief judge merrick garland to the supreme court but senate republicans refused to even hold a hearing to consider, to just consider, chief judge garland's nomination. this refusal to fulfill a constitutional duty of theirs to vet and vote on this nominee is indicative of republicans' eight-year strategy of obstructing president obama at every opportunity. and who loses? the american people do. the worst excuse i've heard as to why sena

sanchez. >> thank you mr. chairman. mr. chairman before i came to the congress i financed large infrastructure projects and i can't think of a larger investment than we as america are making in the deterrent or the triad of our nuclear weapons arsenal and as mr. garamendi said we are renewing and reinvigorating the whole thing and it's an extremely expensive piece and proposition. about $35 billion a year and in fact i have a chart right here. mr. chairman it shows the bump. this is where we are right now. shows the amount of the president's budget up what we are going to spend on our nuclear arsenal so we can see if the mountain right there. and what mr. abelard is asking, he is not asking about how much we are funding. that's the president's budget. he is asking about what is the timeline really look like? how were we spending this amount of money and get you are right to thirty-year projections out me not be worth the paper they're written on but you've got to have a map. each of you have a map i hope to each of you have

mr. speaker, to address the house for one minute and to revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentlelady is recognized for one minute. ms. sanchez: thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, i'd like today to recognize veterans legal institute, an organization that resides right in the middle of my district, serving our veterans in orange county, california, since 2014. it's a nonprofit organization and it provides pro bono legal assistance to our veterans on a myriad of issues. for example, on some of the education issues going on, using their g.i. bill, in housing because we have so many of our veterans, as you know, that are homeless. with respect to health care, getting into those v.a. hospitals and to the agencies. and, of course, with respect to employment. the organization's ongoing effort to become an important factor in helping us to bring veterans along and to ensure that they are an integral part of our community. veterans legal institute is committed to providing our everyday heroes with the resources and the support that they deserve. and i believe that we must do our part by supporting organizations such as veterans lega

mr. speaker. ms. sanchez: mr. speaker, i rise today to call attention to the rising cost of our nation's nuclear forces budget. the congressional budget office estimates that between 2015 and 2024 the administration's plans for nuclear forces will cost us about $348 billion. that's about $35 billion a year on our nuclear enterprise. and according to the c.b.o., this is about 5% to 6% of the total cost of the administration's plans for our national defense for the next 10 years. next week the house armed services committee will mark up fiscal year 2017 national defense authorization act. our military bill, if you will. one of my main priorities in the committee has been to reduce, to reduce our nation's nuclear weapons spending, and to reduce our nuclear stockpile. unfortunately year after year the congress authorizes funding for more weapons, while capping the funding that we use to dismantle nuclear weapons. i think it's a far safer world without these nuclear weapons. mr. speaker, rather than spend on the legacy

mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute and to revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentlewoman is recognized for one minute. ms. sanchez: thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, i rise today in honor of earth day, which we'll celebrate this friday. each day on earth day we recommit to preserving the healthy and a sustainable environment for our future generations. when pope francis addressed congress over six months ago, he called for a courageous and responsible effort to redirect our steps and to avert the most serious effects of the environmental deterioration caused by human activity. that's why i believe that the greatest thing that this chamber can do right now in honor of earth day is to fully re-authorize the land and water conservation fund. the land and water conservation fund has provided critical funding to help protect and preserve our natural areas, our water resources and our cultural heritage. so it's an important source of funding that allows so many of our nation's urban youth to understand the environment, to get to know the wilderness, to gain that valuable understanding and respect for wildlife and ou

sanchez: thank you, mr. johnson. and i rise today to join mr. johnson and mr. cartwright in bringing attention to the very unfair and deplorable practice of forcing people into arbitration. e -- in practice what this consists of is generally those with more power. meaning very wealthy corporations, including confusing but legally binding language buried in the fine print of contracts, contracts that pretty much purveyed every aspect of our lives and this creates this insidious process in which people in order to get a credit card or a cell phone or to put a loved one into a nursing home have to accept the terms of this contract without really knowing what they're buying into it. i want to start by saying that the concept of arbitration is a great one, and i strongly support the principles of arbitration and the arbitration process because arbitration can do many good things. it can clear court dockets. it can help provide a more swift resolution to a problem, and it can also reduce legal fees. those are the benefits of a fair arbitration process, and, you know,

mr. president, this morning, i'm going to introduce those who are watching this to cynthia sanchez. cynthia sanchez is another young person who is living in the united states and is undocumented. she was brought here at the age of 7 from mexico. she grew up in denver, colorado. she was an excellent student. in high school, cynthia was a member of the national honor society and made the president's honor roll every semester with a 4.0 grade point average. i wish i could say the same about my high school experience. cynthia was vice president, copresident of the student council. she volunteered as a peer mediator and volunteered at the local library. she went on to attend the university of denver where she received numerous awards and scholarships and was an active volunteer. for the record, undocumented young people like cynthia receive no federal assistance to go to college. no pell grants, no government loans. they have got to find a way to pay for it. they can't use any government benefits to go forward with their education. she was a member of a student organization called the pi

mr. chairman. i'll be brief. i oppose the amendment as well. it really comes down to what ms. sanchez said at the start. the department of defense has certified it does not impact readiness. as we'll hear later, it also said they have 22% excess capacity. and i ntsunderstand there may b other federal facilities that have excess capacity. if those can be identified specifically in a specific alternative plan can be come up with, we're open to that. but the department of defense along with the executive branch looked at this issue, and found that the excess capacity that exists at the military bases was the most reasonable place to do this. and to prohibit it, i think, ties the hands of the u.s. government unnecessarily. there is no evidence this is impacting readiness. there is excess capacity. and it does not cost the department of defense anything. so i don't think we should prohibit this. and i certainly don't think we should prohibit it unless there's a specific alternative plan put on the table for where to house the children that however you feel about it, and i agree with our representative sanche

mr. speaker, i rise today on equal payday to call for action to close that persistent wage gap that occurs in the workplace and that occurs to the detriment of women. ms. sanchez: my grandmother worked all of her life. she, i would see her in the morning leave and go to the bus stop and go over and work at a convalescent home where she made three meals a day for 170 people. she worked six days a week. on the saturday she would make an extra meal that they'd serve on sunday because sunday she'd take off and she would go to church. when my grandmother could no longer stand on her feet she retired. she retired on social security. $484 a month. just enough to be at my mom's house in her retirement. she had no savings. she had no pension. one of the reasons is that even though women work very hard in this country, they don't get paid what their counterpart, the males do. and so women are twice as likely to retire into poverty. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman's time has expired. ms. sanchez: when women succeed, america succeeds. that's why i'm a proud sponsor of the paycheck fairness act. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman yields back. f

also enter miss sanchez's statement in for the record and we'll proceed right to the statements of our witnesses. i believe we'll start with dr. gilmore, correct? dr. gilmore. >> thank you, mr. chairman, members of the committee. i'll focus on readiness for operation nal tests and evaluation. my estimate is the program won't be ready to begin until midcalendar year 2018 at the earliest, about a one-year delay relative to what the program is carrying currently as its objective dates and about six months relative to its threshold dates. the reasons are the following. fixing to significant problems, some of those fixes having been identified and some not. missions systems stability including the radar still a problem. inadequate fusion of sensor information from sensors on the same aircraft as well as among different aircraft continues to be a problem. there are shortfalls in electronic warfare and attack. shortfalls in the performance of the distributed atmosphere system and other issues that are classified with regard to mission assistance. stealth aircraft are not invisible. to achieve success against modern stret threats we're relying on our investment in f-35 to provide.

sanchez. >> mr. chairman, i think it's incredibly important for us to put together some standards to review and to ensure that not come as you said, there's so many of these that are going to come up the people want to debate and i just go back to something that happened to us in california, into mr. turner. because he has the air force museum over there at the base. there were four super -- and there was a space shuttle. i'm sorry, space shuttle. and the space shuttles, there were four of them that were going to be put in place is about our nation. and there was an incredible demand for them. much more than just for places. for example, the people that i represent actually built them. mr. turner wanted one at his museum where he has the wright brothers all the way through everything practically. and because these demands will come up in some of these museums will be vying for some of these very valuable pieces of history, i think it's incumbent upon us to say let's step back a moment and let's forge
