at this point i'm a big believer that less is more. and i have spoken about the important aspects of what we are doing here today earlier so i will not repeat it. but i would just urge everybody to support the rule and support the underlying legislation and i reserve my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from oklahoma. mr. cole: thank you, madam speaker. i want to thank my good friend the distinguished gentleman from massachusetts, chairman mcgovern, for yielding me the customary 30 minutes and yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. cole: our second rule of the day now covers four items. as we discussed earlier the first item is a bill to ban imports of russian oil into the united states and to impose additional sanctions following russia's unprovoaked and unjust invasion of ukraine. though i will be supporting this bill, it's a missed opportunity to exhibit unified support for the immediate steps to confront vladimir putin's evil empire.

a much stronger bill has been introduced in the senate that was negotiated over the weekend by republicans and democrats in the house and senate. why the majority would forego taking yes for an answer and instead introduce a much weaker, watered down bill is beyond me. our second bill ian omnibus appropriations bill covering the remaned over fiscal year 2022. our third bill is a short-term continuing resolution to ensure the ctinuity of government funding while congress finishing the larger bill. and our fourth is a $15 billion stand alone covid supplemental. the omnibus appropriations bill was a long time in coming. indeed, we are over five month into fiscal year 2022 and it's more than a little frustrating that is taken us this long to get here. but are here now and the bill before us represents a realistic compromise between the house and the senate and between democrats and republicans. the omnibus bill is far, for a better thanhe partisan bills

the house passed lt summer. this bill preserves the historic legacy bipartisan pro-life riders like the hyde amendment and wheldon amendment, both of which absolutely had to be in this package in order to become law. it omits new part sap policy rides r the which there is no consensus. it increases defense spend big more than $25 billion over last year which is clearly necessary in the wake of vladimir putin's unprovoaked aggression against ukraine. and it provise for an appropriate measured increase in nondefense spending which will allow for continued invest pt -- investments in programs like the national institutes of health, arpa-h and others. the limited increase in nondefense spending alous us to make responsible investments in key programs while being good stewards of taxpayer dollars. while it spends more than i would have preferred it's still a reasonable compromise. before i conclude, i want to once again congratulate

chairwoman rosa delauro and ranking member kay granger of the appropriations committee on today's bill. and thank hem for their hard work on the new addition, the $15 billion covid sup lemmal, i think there's serious concerns with this additional unpaid for increase. according to the c.b.o., there are currently more than $340 billion in unobligated funds available for repurposing and appropriation. indeed, instead of providing new resources like this bill does, we should rescind or repurpose existing covid resources for these purposes. like the bill we considered earlier today would have done. thank you, madam speaker, and i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from massachusetts. mr. mcgon: thank you, madam speaker. i don't have any other requests for time. does the gentleman have additional requests for time? mr. cole: i've got more remarks to make. mr. mcgovern: i yield to the gentleman. the speaker pro tempore: the

gentleman from massachusetts reserves. the gentleman from oklahoma. mr. cole: i again thank my friend. thank you, madam speaker. i yield myself as much time as i may consume. the speaker: the gentleman is recognized. mr. cole: thank you, madam speaker. if we defeat the previous question i'll offer an amendment to the rule to bring up h.r. 685 the american energy independence from russia act for immediate consideration. over the past few weeks, we've seen the clear consequences of president biden's war on oil and gas industry. emboldened by russia's role sz these key source of energy for much of europe, vladimir putin launched an unprovoaked invasion of his neighbor, ukraine. gas prices are soaring and the pressures of unchecked inflation and putin's threats to cut off oil and gas exports pushing them ever higher. indeed, mr. putin has begun to deploy his most potent weapon, which is to threaten to cut off europe's energy supply right in the dead of winter. madam speaker, this was all

avoidable. the united states has the capacity to be energy independent if only we choose to be. we can stand on our own two feet, confident in the knowledge that we can meet all of our domestic energy needs right here at home. and we can provide assistance to our allies to ensure their protection against russian threats. unfortunately, president biden's actions since taking office have made this impossible. on day one of his presidency, he terminated the keystone x.l. pipeline and he subsequently froze oil and gas leasing on federal lands. in lieu of the u.s. pr pr -- producing oil and gas we need he's instead asking every other oil producing country but the united states to step up. many of these are hardly friends of our country or frankly humanity. it's simply astonishing. the american energy independence from orb russia act would a dray a address this challenge an ensure american energy self-sufficiency. it would immediately approve the

keystone x.l. pipeline, restart oil and gas lease option federal lands and waters and would expand liquid natural gas exports at the moment europe needs them most. it would free the united states and our allies to act in opposition to vladimir putin's brutal and barbarous assault on his neighbor without fear. madam speaker, i ask unanimous consent to insert the section ot in the record along with extraneous material immediately prior to the vote on the previous question. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. cole: thank you, madam speaker. with that, i urge a no on the previous question, no on the rule and i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from massachusetts. mr. mcgon: thank you very much, madam speaker. i -- fores. mr. mcgovern: thank you very much, madam speaker. we talked about this earlier. i want to make sure my colleagues understand there are 9,000 wells currently unused, oil companies are experiencing record profits, $174 billion in profits while they gouge the american consumers, and as for

the keystone pipeline then people say turn on the switch there's no switch to turn on. it was never completed. and by the way, even if it was completed estimates are that maybe it would save you a penny on a gallon of gas. maybe the time has come for us to have a serious consideration about energy independence that involves an acknowledgment that we need to wean ourselves off fossil fuels, compare about the environment and keeling with climate change and tell the oil company, especially during this crisis, to work with us to help the american people get through this difficult time. in fact, help the world get through this difficult time. but there's no excuse for price gouging. with that, i reserve my time and i have no other requests for speakers. i yield. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves. mr. cole: i advise my friend i am prepared to close. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized.

mr. cole: with that, i yield myself the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. cole: before i go to my formal remark,000,000 friend and i will have a discussion in energy. i'm a believe for the renewable,000,000 own state gets 42% of its electricity from wind power and we're number two in the country. i'd put our record up against anybody. so we really do believe in all of the above but we're very proud of having produced energy for over 100 years for this country in abundance. far beyond our needs. and exported them at reasonable prices. i would also remind my friend whatever the prices are, and i wish they were lower, they're cheaper here than just about any place else in the world. and we can thank lit rail will the thousands of people i represent but many of us represent, other 10 million men and women who actually produce the energy this country needs and frankly the rest of the world needs right now. i don't think they ought to be demeaned. i don't think their motives ought to be kid. -- questioned. they're an extraordinary group of people, they are patriotic

and step forward whenever we need them. when times are bad nobody seems to care what happens to them. when times get tougher everybody wants them to step forward and invest more and do many and the. and they will continue to do that in this time of crisis. i don't think we need to be divided on this. no question we need more oil and gas now. europe needs more oil and gas now. we have within taught a serious lesson about the dangers of becoming reliant on people like mr. putin when they have the ability to impact world prices. madam speaker, in closing, although i oppose the rule i'm greatly encouraged by the underlying appropriations measure. while not perfect, no bill ever is, it cou always be better, it does represent a good compromise between democrats and republicans that will ensure full-year funding for fiscal year 2022. the bill before us continues congress' policy of increasing our investments in defense spending which is of critical importance at this time of global crisis.

it provides for needed investments in health including increasing funding for combating future pandemic and research into diseases like cancer. it funds education, infrastructure, energy production, roads and care for our nation's veterans. it includes also and i want to thank my fend for i thank my frid for much needed white house conference on hunger and i'm proud to acknowledge his leadership in that. it is in sum a bill that congress can be proud of and does the right thing for the american people. and rush yap oil ban, i'm disappointed that democrats walked away from a deal that could have united us and led to swift passage. it is unclear what avoids this legislation in the senate. i'm hopeful my friends will reflect on this missed opportunity and work with

republicans to not only stand up against russian aggression and home grown resources that are critical in achieving our goal. and on the new $15 billion unpaid for covid supplemental. there are resources vale. these could be utilized before additional funds are provided. while i urge my colleagues to vote no on the previous question and no on the rule, i encourage all members to support the omnibus appropriations bill and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from massachusetts. mr. mcgovern: let me thank my friend, mr. cole, for his comments and for him being so accommodating this day and beginning early this morning and let me thank the staff of the rules committee who work incredibly hard and i think this entire congress and the american

people owe them a debt of gratitude and i thank chairwoman delauro and ranking member granger and the staff on the appropriations committee for the work they have done and i urge my colleagues to vote yes on the previous question. the gentleman is right. the american consumers need relief right now and how do we alleviate the high energy costs. it purports to provide relief 20, 30 years down the road and we need to find mechanisms to lower the costs to consumers and find a way to do it so whatever we do doesn't -- whatever we do gets passed onto the consumers and not just absorbed by the oil companies as we have seen in the past. and we need to get serious about

renewable energy and dealing with the climate crisis. we should be having a different conversation right now. as we deal with putin's price hike, let's understand there is an immediate issue and what they are proposing doesn't begin to address and long-term issue and i would have a long-term issue that is not reliant on fossil fuels. what we have in this omnibus bill will help every state and make a real difference and help our kids in school and the parents of those kids get good jobs and provide medical research and diseeses like cancer and so many good things and there are things that we i don't like all the changesn.

that he liked and he does president like some of the things that i like, but this is the way and we have to negotiate four corners and democrats and republicans have to work things out and you have a senate -- well, i don't want to go there. but the bottom line, we ought to get this done. and with that, madam speaker, i urge a yes on the rule and yes on the previous question and i yield back and move the previous question. the speaker pro tempore: the question is ordering the question on the previous resolution. those in favor, say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, the ayes have it. mr. cole: pursuant to section 3-s6 house resolution 8. members will record their votes by electronic device.

973? mr. neal: pursuant to house resolution, i move to pass the suspending -- i'm sorry, energy imports from russia act. the speaker pro tempore: the clerk will report the title of the bill. the clerk: h.r. 6968, a bill to prohibit the importation of energy products of the russian federation and for other purposes. the speaker pro tempore: pursuant to house resolution 973, the bill is considered read. the bill shall be debatable for one hour, equally divide and controlled by the chair and ranking minority member of the committee on ways and means or their respective designees. the gentleman from massachusetts, mr. neal, and the gentleman from texas, mr. brady, will each control 30 minutes and the chair now recognizes the gentleman from massachusetts, mr. neal. mr. neal: thank you, madam speaker. can we please have order, madam speaker? the speaker pro tempore: yes, we can.

the gentleman can proceed. mr. nolan: thank you, mehm-o -- mr. neal: thank you, madam speaker. i ask that all members have five legislative days to revise and extend their remarks and include extraneous material on the bill under consideration in front of us. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, so ordered. mr. neal: thank you, madam speaker. i yield myself such time as i might consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. neal: thank you. madam speaker, i stand here today in a moment of great sorrow as the ukrainian people continue to endure the brutal and unprovoked assault by russia upon their independence. we've all witnessed the heartbreaking footage of this war's innocent victims. we heard the harrowing stories of families who have been torn apart and forced to leave their country. we've watched with admiration as the ukrainian people have courageously defended their

homeland. madam speaker, tonight we are all ukrainians. this unprovoked, unjustified invasion is a horrific stain on humanity. this evening we here in this congress will firmly condemn putins' aggression with the -- putin's aggression with the legislation that is before us. inaction is not an option. i am very pleased once again that the ways and means committee in a bipartisan manner has led the development of this package that will take decisive action to exact economic pain on putin and his regime. the russian regime relies on energy sales to fund many of its offenses. this bill will cut off some of the revenue with a ban on the import of russian oil and energy products into the united states.

the more economic pain we inflict on putin, the more pressure he will feel to finally end this brutal campaign of terror on the ukrainian people. i don't think tonight the people of ukraine think that vladimir putin is a genius. this legislation also takes steps to review russia's participation in the world trade organization. this is an international agreement compriced of 150 -- comprised of 150 nations. membership is a privilege that comes with responsibilities and bad actors who destabilize global security should not enjoy the economic benefits of belonging to that body. i am committed to providing and punishing russia at the w.t.o. as we proceed. broad bipartisan support exists in this congress for these

meaningful actions to hold putin accountable and full support for the ukrainian people. with this legislation, we reaffirm our commitment to peace and to democracy. i urge our colleagues to support this consequential moment and act accordingly. i look forward to its swift passage into law and i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from texas. mr. brady: thank you, madam speaker. i yield myself as much time as i may use. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. brady: madam speaker, while missiles and machine guns rain down death on innocent ukrainians, president zelensky is pleading with america and all free nations to stop buying russian oil, to fund this inhumane war. this weekend americans should note both parties in congress came together, worked together in agreement to immediately ban purchases of russian energy. i was proud to have helped lead that bipartisan effort in the house ways and means and senate finance committees, and pleased

that president biden, who fought the russian energy ban tooth and nail, finally relented and accepted the moral choice to stand with the people of ukraine. the bill before us is certainly not as strong an energy ban as what congress crafted, nor does it include congress' crucial economic sanctions to revoke favorable trade relations with russia and belarus. which would have targeted all the products america buys from russia. but president biden insisted that these economic sanctions be dropped so that nearly half of all russian imports to the u.s. will go untouched. for some reason he's insisting we treat russia, the invader, the same as ukraine, the invaded. it's puzzling why russian diamonds and vodka deserve continued special treatment here in america. those revenues all help strengthen russia's economy, to fund the war against ukraine. but president biden insisted and

regrettably in this bill they remain protected. our allies will certainly get a laugh. this bill directs our trade representative to urge other nations to revoke the special trading status for russia, even though america refuses to do it at this time. that's not a profile in courage. i wish our president was as committed to crippling economic sanctions as neighboring canada, which banned both russian oil and revoked the special trading treatment for russian products. 7:45. . america me energy on or oshore.

nor doest approve american pipelines that cou easily replace russian oil with u. and canadian energy. to help t to help thehe rest of the world wean themselves from the grip of dirty russian energy. wednesday this question. why is our country begging wednesday vaila and iran, terrorist nations, and thug regimes, to produce more dirty oil to send to america when america is fully capable of producing all the cleanest oil and gas in the world that we need right here at home. as expected, the present's blaming everyone and everything for high prices and inflation, including the war. but higher prices, as you know, have hammered americans for a solid year. all starting with the president's $2 trillion unpaid-for covid stimulus that ignited inflation, paid people

not to work, and fueled the worst inflation in 40 years. thanks to the white house, america's in a dangerous wage price spiral and as a result of the president's failed economic leadership, more and more experts are predicting a recession this year. no wonder most americans believe our economy is already in a recession or depression, and lost faith in the president's ability to rebuild our economy. to close i will tell you this. the ban on russian oil alone is worth our support. ukraine is waiting. as chairman neal points out. but after this bill, i urge congress to do more to revoke russia's special trade status and unleash america's own ability to be energy independent, to replace russian oil with american sources, and use our energy strengths to wean the world from russian energy. with that, madam speaker, i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the

gentleman from massachusetts. mr. neal: thank you, madam speaker. i want to reassure the gentleman i remain committed to the position he has offered as it relates to the world trade organization. and the suspension of russia's partnership in w.t.o. making sure that we do that in the right procedure. i think is the challenge before us. i agree with the point that the gentleman has made. let me recognize the gentleman from texas, mr. doggett, for two minutes. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for two minutes. mr. doggett: in the face of death and destruction, president zelensky anti-ukrainians are showing the world -- and the ukrainians are showing the world the true meaning of courage. we can respond tonight by taking another step to isolate russia from the world economy. and ebb sure americans are no longer contributing the revenue to fund its war machine. to take the energy out of putin's brutal assault, we place energy on our sanctions list. it may cost more to fill your tank, but we must work to stop

putin's tanks from crushing families and freedom. our legislation also calls for expelling russia from the world trade organization. russia should not be permitted to benefit from the world order and stability that it is destroying with each bomb dropped, each eu caribbean murdered -- ukrainian murder. the financial pain we are imposing cannot ease the pain of ukrainian families, but it is one way for us to demonstrate our solidarity with them. putin and his apologists here in america and abroad must know that those who support democracy and combat aggression are united like never before. as a flow of ukrainian dead and wounded grows, so must the economy of russia shrink. this bill is both more and less than the original version which representative blumenauer and i introduced the week before last in immediate response to russian aggression. it now omits the most favored nation treatment provision. throughout putin's initial saber

rattling and subsequent bomb dropping the administration has wisely rejected the go-it-alone-approach that led america to disaster under previous administrations. the president has united our allies and is determined to keep them united. i believe as he continues to work with our allies, we will be able to move forward as canada has as our original bill proposed and eliminate the most favored nation status for russia. i'm very pleased that the bill adds to what we had initially, the extension and revitalization of the global magnitsky act. this has done a tremendous job in reducing human rights abuses. we re-authorize it. remaining united against address. aggression. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from texas. mr. brady: i'm proud to yield one minute to the republican leader of the trade subcommittee, the gentleman from nebraska, mr. smith. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for one minute plflt smith: thank you,

madam speaker. i rise today to speak on h.r. 6968, the suspending energy imports from russia act. this bill democrats have brought to the floor although important is not what it actually could be. it's actually a missed opportunity to address our trade relationships with russia and belarus. it is a missed opportunity to bolster domestic american produced energy in a serious fashion so that we can address energy prices here at home. every member of this body knows we could and should be voting on the stronger bipartisan product that leaders on the ways and means and senate finance committees agree to merely days ago. it was bipartisan and bicameral. it revoked permanent normal trade relations for russia and normal trade relations for belarus. it also included an energy import ban and instead of loopholes provided an off-ramp should russia reverse course in ukraine and work to earn back our trust. the text we have before us today is obviously not that bill. the president demanded a lesser path and the house democrats

have chosen to support him in that effort. however, i do know that doing nothing is not an option. so i will support this bill and i urge my democratic colleagues -- the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. mr. smith: to use the trade tools at our disposal to address putin's unacceptable aggression against ukraine. thank you. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. the gentleman from massachusetts is recognized. mr. neal: thank you, mr. speaker. with that let me yield two minutes to the gentleman from oregon, mr. blumenauer. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from oregon is recognized for two minutes. mr. blumenauer: i appreciate the gentleman's curtcy. i rise in support -- courtesy. i rise in support of the underlying bill but i want to acknowledge the comments from my colleagues about the bipartisan approach that we originally advanced. it is, i think, unfortunate that we are not stripping away the most favored trade status from the russians. i am convinced that we will be able to get there with the expression that we have had on both sides of the aisle. but i think it's important that

we can remain committed to advancing this in terms of tightening the economic noose around russia. i am a little disappointed with the rhetoric that we have heard of attacking the administration for not coming forth with fanciful efforts to increase domestic production. as has been documented on the floor, repeatedly in the course of this debate, there are ample leases that are unused now. some 9,000 such leases. and everything that my friends on the other side of the aisle are talking about is not going to produce one additional gallon of oil next year or two years afterwards. these are longer term issues that relate to the mechanics of production, the economics of the industry. where our salvation is going to rise is taking advantage of the

elements that the democrats have advanced in terms of clean energy production. this is reliable, sustainable, and not subject to the whims of international global petrochemical arguments and disputes. but in the meantime, i strongly urge support of the legislation and renew my commitment to work on a bipartisan basis to be able to strip away most favored nation status, working together to accomplish this as as expeditious a fashion as possible. i appreciate the cooperation of the chairman of the committee to be able to move and take advantage of the expressions of my friends on the other side of the aisle. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. the gentleman from texas is recognized. mr. brady: yes, mr. speaker. proud to yield one minute to the gentleman from west texas, mr. arrington. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from texas is recognized for one minute. mr. arrington: mr. speaker, unfortunately president biden continues to be inexcusably

fekless in his response to global threats from our adversaries. now in the moment of truth when america can send a clear message to dictators and democracies alike by banning russian oil imports to the united states, the president has failed once again to rise to the occasion. this anemic response would move the commonsense conditions for lifting the ban like russia's full and immediate withdraw from ukraine and their ceasing to threaten other nato countries. the most egregious aspect of this proposal is that the president, the democrat leadership, refused to revoke russia's permanent normal trade relations status i which will continue to allow them access to the united states market a privilege only allies of freedom should receive. consistent with biden's timid response, i fear that these half measures will not only fail to deter putin, but will invite other tyrants around the world to follow suit. mr. speaker, we must unload the full arsenal, full force of america's economic arsenal on

the russian federation and their rogue leader. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the gentleman from massachusetts is recognized mr. neal: -- is recognized. mr. neal: let me recognize the gentlelady from california for one minute, congresswoman chu. the speaker pro tempore: the the gentlewoman from california is recognized for one minute. ms. chu: i rise today in strong support of this bill to isolate and stop sending our money to russia. russia's unprovoked invasion of ukraine has already caused countless deaths and nrs while forcing 1.5 million innocent refugees to flee their homes. there must be consequences for this belligerence. that's why support cutting off russia's oil and gas imports to the u.s. seeking to suspend their participation in the world trade organization and extending our ability to implement further sanctions. global trade, the wealth it helps generate, and the needs it helps to meet is a benefit of the very international order

that russia is trying to undermine. and so if putin is declaring war on global peace and stability, then he should also not be able to benefit from global peace and stability. i believe that the promise of being able to once again profit from global trade is a powerful incentive for putin to end his war of choice. i'm proud to support using our economic influence for peace. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady yields back. the gentleman from texas is recognized mr. brady: yes, mr. speaker. proud to yield one minute to the chief deputy whip, republican conference, the gentleman from georgia, mr. ferguson. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from georgia is recognized for one minute mr. ferguson: thank you, mr. speaker. the war on american energy independence began on day one of president biden's administration. that war has hit americans hard in the pocketbook and the costs at the pump and everything else they buy has gone up as a result of this administration's

policies. all too often we look across the globe and see the cost of those policies and see that in ukraine right now. so every single barrel of russian oil that we buy has at least a quarter of ukrainian blood in it. time to put an end to t now we have a bill that has been much watered-down, doesn't have the teeth in it that it should because this administration does not seem willing to stand up to this dictator. now that we are having -- now that we are having a discussion about ending a relationship with one dictator, it seems that the administration is willing to trade one for three. buying oil from venezuela, iran, and now saudi arabia. this war on pricing has got to come to an end. the war on american energy independence has to come to an end. it is time for this administration to open up american energy independence. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. the gentleman's time has expired. the gentleman from massachusetts

is recognized. mr. neal: thank you, mr. speaker. let me yield one minute to the gentleman from illinois, mr. davis. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from illinois is recognized for one minute. mr. davis: thank you, mr. speaker. i rise in strong support of h.r. 6968, suspending energy imports in response to russia's barbaric inhumane, and unprovoked attacks on ukraine and the ukrainian people. these imports include crude oil petroleum, coal, coal products, natural gas, and other products. on march 8, president biden issued an executive order to prohibit energy imports from russia which i totally agree with, support, urge passage of h.r. 6968, and yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the gentleman from texas is recognized mr. brady: thank you, mr. speaker. i'm proud to yield two minutes to the republican leader of the oversight committee, the

gentleman from south carolina, mr. rice. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from south carolina is recognized for two minutes. mr. rice: thank you for yielding the time. thank you to mr. brady, mr. neal, and mr. doggett for their leadership on this bill to sanction russian energy exports, which i support, but i must express my frustration that this bill does not go far enough. on february president biden stated that if russia invaded ukraine, the united states would impose crippling sanctions. yet here we are two weeks after biden finally had the courage to call it an invasion and the sanctions are still being rolled out piecemeal. only last week the administration was telling us that sanctioning russia's oil and gas exports was not on the table. in the face of inaction, democrats and republicans in congress came together to impose the crippling sanctions the president had promised. but not followed through. the bipartisan bill would have banned russian oil imports and enabled the imposition of

tariffs on all remaining russian imports to america. but the white house intervened and my democrat friends withdrew their support. instead, this bill bans only oil, the remaining half of russian trade remains. american purchases will keep funding russia's cruel invasion. and russia will keep its most favored nation status in the world trade organization. in this bill we ask our allies to penalize russian imports, but we refuse to do so ourselves. now that's not leadership. i cannot understand why america would maintain trade relations with a nation that only last night bombed a children's hospital in ukraine. mr. president, how many more innocent ukrainians need to die before you do what you promised? stop projecting weakness and just do what you say.

china is watching. the world is watching. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields. members are reminded to direct their remarks to the chair. the gentleman from massachusetts is recognized. mr. neal: thank you, mr. speaker. i yield one minute to the gentleman from california, mr. panetta. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from california is recognized for one minute. mr. panetta: thank you, mr. chairman. thank you, mr. speaker. i support tonight's bills because we must fund the government and, of course, we must support ukraine. as the american people get out of covid and get back to work and get on with our lives, they are yearning to help ukrainian lives. tonight's bills do that by providing aid and armaments, so that the ukrainians can continue to punch putin right in the face. in this bill, h.r. 6968, also punches putin right in the gut. by banning oil, by banning imports of russian oil. by taking steps to remove russia from the w.t.o. and by holding putin accountable for violating of rights with tougher sanctions. the last thing we want is war

with russia. however, in order to stop putin's paranoid adventurism, we need to bolster our commitment to nato and we must bleed him of his resources to wage war, by crumpling his economy. this will effect us and it will force all of us to play our part. but despite these costs, we must continue to be as united as we are inspired by this fledgling democracy that has flourished under fire. that is why we must play our part and pass this legislation, to sport livelihoods of americans, to support the lives of ukrainians and ensure that putin pays his price for his attacks on a peaceful democracy. thank you, mr. speaker. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the gentleman from texas is recognized. mr. brady: yes, mr. speaker. i'm proud to yield one minute to the gentleman from pennsylvania, a member of the ways and means committee, mr. smucker. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from pennsylvania is recognized for one minute. mr. smucker: thank you to the ranking member. mr. speaker, i'd like to start my comments by saying that i

really do believe that there's no daylight between our parties on our commitment to cripple putin's ability to wage war in ukraine. we stand with the people of ukraine, democrats and republicans alike, and i want to thank chairman neal and ranking member brady for putting together a strong bill to stop financing putin's aggression. this is a bill, this was a bill that was bipartisan and bicameral, that would have stopped providing financial support to russia and put an end to importing russian oil. unfortunately that bill that they worked so hard on is not the bill that we are debating here tonight. now, i plan to vote in support of this bill because i believe it's important that we stand with ukraine. but i want to make it clear to the white house and to democratic leadership, you know that we could have done better. yet for some reason the white house intervened and i don't understand. so i'd like someone to answer the question -- why are we

running a product that could have -- that replaced another product that would have put an end to favored trade status for russia and belarus? why are we voting on a product that will not be taken up by the senate? we did have a better deal. thank you, mr. speaker. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from massachusetts is recognized. mr. neal: thank you, mr. speaker. let me yield one minute to the gentlelady from new york, congresswoman maloney. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from new york is recognized for one minute. mrs. maloney: thank you, chairman, for your leadership. mr. speaker, i rise in support of this legislation banning russian oil and gas imports and imposing additional sanctions to punish putin and his cronies for their war of aggression in ukraine. which has caused more than two million ukrainians to flee their country. president biden has already imposed swift and severe consequences, including yesterday's executive action. however it is the duty of congress to join the president,

enact a congressional ban on russian gas and oil imports to the u.s., and send a strong message to the kremlin that none of our money will be used to bank roll shelling of eungan families -- ukrainian families. yesterday the oversight committee held a bipartisan briefing with u.s. and ukrainian government officials. the message was clear. putin's regime must be denied these crucial oil revenues while we continue to provide urgently needed aid to ukraine. i urge support for this legislation, for the good of the united states, and the support of ukraine. and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman reserves the balance of her time. the gentleman from texas is recognized -- the gentlewoman's time has expired. the gentleman from texas is recognized. mr. brady: i yield to the gentleman from north carolina, dr. murphy. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. murphy: thank you, mr. speaker. today is day 214 of putin -- 14 of putin's senseless war on ukraine. with all eyes on the united states, president biden has still failed to impose the

necessary full economic penalties on the russian economy. this week ways and means republicans and democrats negotiated a strong bipartisan bill that added additional, much-needed economic punishments on putin's war effort. a historic deal that stopped both u.s. imports of russian oil and suspended normal trade relations with belarus and russia. that is before the white house got involved. to be clear, the only reason the white house is doing anything is because it's being politically expedient. they stopped and stalled negotiations. the white house has subsequently watered down negotiations, we're now 40% of nonenergy imports from russia can still continue under this plan, fueling his war efforts. while banning u.s. imports of russian oil is critical, this is weakened legislation and fails to go the distance in truly holding putin accountable for his shameful war crimes. there is a special place in hell for evil despots who bomb children's hospitals. we must do everything at our

disposal to support ukraine and prove to the world that a strong america will not allow brutal dictators to reign on this earth without swift and ferocious consequences. thank you and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the gentleman from massachusetts is recognized. mr. neal: thank you, mr. speaker. i'm really pleased to yield one minute to the gentlelady from ohio, congresswoman kaptur, who represents 50,000 ukrainian americans. one minute. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from ohio is recognized. ms. kaptur: mr. speaker, i thank chairman neal and congressman lloyd doggett for allowing me this time tonight. to rise in strong support of liberty, by suspending inner imports from russia, to help crush putin for his crimes against humanity. putin is murdering innocent men, pregnant women, children and the elderly and he's bombing them into pieces. the brutal savagery unleashed by putin and allowed by his treacherous oligarchs needs

retribution and the time has come to terminate the flow of russia's blood-soaked oil into our land. we must also suspend russia from the world trade organization and let us sanction putin and his enablers as far into the pits of hell as we possibly can. as the gold standard for stream and democrat -- freedom and democracy, the world is watching america right now. this is not the time for holdouts or cowards. every member of this body must rise up without delay and lead by example. pass this legislation, hit putin and his enablers where it hurts. the just cause of liberty demands nothing less. thank you. and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman reserves the balance thegentlewoman's time has expir. the gentleman from texas is recognized. mr. brady: i'm proud to yield 1 1/2 minutes to the gentleman from new jersey, long-time leader of human rights, mr. smith. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new jersey is recognized for 1 1/2 minutes. mr. smith: mr. speaker, russian oil and gas is absolutely financing putin's horrific war of aggression. i'm for this bill but there are provisions in this, one in particular, that should not be

in here. mr. speaker, i'm the proud sponsor of the global human rights accountability act which we added to the 2017ndaa. under the act, inactionable offense occurs only when there's a gross violation of internationally recognized human rights, which has the meaning given to it in the foreign assistance act of 1961. specifically the foreign assistant act includes torture, cruel and inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, prolonged detention, causing thedy appearance of persons by abduction and detention of those persons and other flagrant denial of the right to life, liberty or the security of a person. h.r. 6968, however, raddicly strikes -- radically strikes and replaces the current definition of what constitutes an actionable offense with language that is not defined and is being done tonight without the benefit of hearings or due diligence. under the new language, the president may impose sanctions on any individual if responsible

for complicit and what they call serious human rights abuse. exactly what does that mean? there's no definition. how is that phrase defineed? how elastic is it? sphecial especially when it's not linked to any international treaty or coveted. what does indirectly engaged mean? how indirect? guilt by association? the act got it right. it was bipartisan. and it led sanctions to internationally recognize human rights. i hope the senate will take a look at this. this is an egregious mistake. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from massachusetts is recognized. mr. neal: mr. speaker, we're going to reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from massachusetts reserves. the gentleman from texas is recognized. mr. brady: thank you, mr. speaker. i'm proud to yield one minute to the gentleman from texas, mr. cloud. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from texas is recognized for one minute. mr. cloud: putin's decision to bring this horrific tragedy upon the people of ukraine is rightly to be condemned and it's right

at this moment in history. but it's also tragic that the biden administration and democrats in this chamber would rather turn to terrorists sponsoring regimes to fill the energy gap rather than the world renowned work ethic and innovation of the american people. this administration should be doing everything it can to ramp up production and increase energy exports. we know one of the best ways this can be achieved is by investing in ports like the one in my district, increasing u.s. energy exports can provide relief and hope for the ukrainian people, it can give europe the insurance it needs to break away from russian energy and provide leaf and economic opportunity for american families. it's past time to stop the assault on american energy and restore america's energy dominance.

thank you. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the gentleman from massachusetts is recognized. mr. neal: we continue to reserve, mr. speaker. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from massachusetts reserves. the gentleman from texas is and i rise today in favor of i urge the biden administration to work all of the above. while i'm glad we are stopping the flow of capital to the kremlin and i'm concerned without a plan. the more we rely on authoritarian regimes, the more we hurt our economy, national

security and environment. energy security is national security. we need responsible energy solutions to expand domestic energy supply chains and lower costs for consumers. thank you and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady from california yields back. the gentleman from massachusetts is recognized. mr. neal: we continue to reserve, mr. speaker. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from massachusetts reserves. the gentleman from texas is recognized. mr. brady: mr. speaker, i'm proud to yield one minute to the gentleman from georgia, mr. clied. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from -- mr. collide -- cly -- mr. clyde. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. clyde: the bill doesn't live up to its name. let me just read a little from the text. because it is the text that matters. on page 2, prohibition of energy products this bill bans nothing until 45 days after enactment. ukraine doesn't have 45 days. under section 2-a-2, why are we even having this section when the idea was to ban russian oil,

not to allow importation? i quote, the president may allow certain products to be imported into the united states, pursuant to a written contract, that was entered into before the date of inabilitiment of this ability. so the bold statement from paragraph 1 that all oil products from russian federation shall be banned from importation just got eviscerated, shot full of holes, because every barrel of oil coming into the united states is covered under a contract so every barrel is exempted for the length of the contract. the democrat majority and the biden administration is doing something bold when in reality it is a false start. penalty on the field. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. the gentleman from massachusetts is recognized. mr. neal: thank you, mr. speaker. let me recognize the gentleman from texas for 1 1/2 minutes. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from texas is recognized for 1 1/2 minutes. mr. doggett: putin thought he could divide us because the last

president served putin so well. and recently ainas attacks on the ukrian border and thats not as gens. and killing hunedf ukraan and not adver who was too gentle a blad >> and they

>> and they have been sadly and totally mute after thoag who would divide us of let us unite and approve this bill. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. the gentleman from texas is recognized. >> i yield 15 seconds and all of that was nonsense. it was democrat president clinton who forced ukraine to turn over weapons to russia and president obama when putin took over parts of ukraine and under

and he looks to with that, i yield three minutes to the gentleman from louisiana, mr. graves. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from is recognized. mr. graves: it is interesting where we find ourselves right now and in the last year, we have advocated for banning russian oil. we have advocated. guess who has opposed it. on the record of banning russian oil. appear interesting place where all of a sudden and folks have realized we have to flip-flop and we have to ban russian oil. mr. speaker, look at the policies of this administration. we have seen record high prices and we have seen record

increases in greenhouse gas emissions and record energy insecurity as a result of these policies. we have letters to the administration begging them to work with opec-plus nations. we have had air more than doubling of our importation of crude oil from russia under this administration. the administration's failed policies is what they will tell you. we can buy russian oil and putin in the ukraine or pay higher prices. this bill fails to address the problem. mr. speaker, you have seen this administration officials. who are they talking to? they are talking to venezuela

and iran and saudis and find ourselves right back in the situation and we have a solution for you. we can could do and buy american. we can buy american energy. let's buy american energy, not saudi, and we have 38 billion barrels of energy of oil and 38 and do it safer here and that's what the motion to recommit. and unleash jobs in america and go back to work and unleash it and export liquified natural gas and not be dependent from russia

and putin funding his and causing human rights violations all over that are country. i want to remind you, it was president biden that facilitate and president biden who doubled the importation of crude oil. tivment the gentleman from massachusetts. mr. mcgovern: this -- mr. neal: what we are talking about using trade policy as a powerful tool to pursue peace but to act. i hope this moment when we are in a dire state, we would not use the opportunity but try to focus very hard at the task at

hand and holding putin accountable and i continue to reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from texas is recognized. mr. brady: i'm prepared to close when chairman neal is as well. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from massachusetts is recognized. the gentleman from texas is recognized. mr. brady: i yield myself such time as i may consume. i will move to motion recommit and have my amendments that suspends normal trade relations with russia included in the record. and while there is whied kreement, congress does need to do more and this motion does

more and when we talk about amending the rule to offer made in america, the idea of sanctions is incomplete and when it colls to trade with rush ray we need to take steps and stronger bipartisan steps. we had an agreement that stopped imports from russia but removed the bill we are voting allows 40% of the total products we buy from russia to receive treatment. and we are so disappointed and puzzled why this was removed because there is strong, bipartisan support in congress to remove and suspend that and i know that chairman neal is

committed to working together because by not revoking, envoys the same trade status. and unless we change the bill, russia will maintain the same trade status like russia diamonds and vodka. that is not right. we need to be tougher together. congress can lead bypassing this motion to recommit and we reached that shuts down the russian oil imports and removes all the other products. america needs to lead. congress needs to lead to take this and vote yes on the motion to recommit. i strongly believe the effort in

this bill to immediately stop purchasees on russia has support and should have support from every american but we need to do more and i urge my colleagues and our president to stand with us withing strong economic sanctions to replace russian oil. i yield back. mr. neal: we will have this opportunity to condemn putin's aggression and act upon it. and evaluate russia's access will help to hold this brutal dictate air accountable. i will explore how we can utilize the full jurisdiction of

the committee to protect the ukranian people. and let me congratulate joe biden for the manner in which he has assembled an alliance across the globe to combat this dictator. when you consider that our we now can understand why it has been so enduring. but just as importantly, the swiss, the fins, the swedes, the japanese, like much of the civilized world have stood with us in this moment of challenge. tonight, let us all stand with the ukranian people and support this legislation and with that, i yield back.

the speaker pro tempore: the gentlemanyields back. all time for date has expired. the previous question is ordered on the bill. the question is on environs grossment and third reading of the bill. those in favor, say aye. those opposed, no. the its have it. for what purpose does the gentleman from texas seek recollection initiation? >> mr. brady of texas moves to recommit the bill to the committee on ways and means. the speaker pro tempore: the previous question is ordered on the motion to recommit. those in favor, say aye. those opposed, no. the noes have it. mr. brady: i request the yeas and nays. pursuant to section 3-s.

the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentlewoman from connecticut seek recognition? ms. delauro: mr. speaker, i call up h.r. 2471, with the senate amendment thereto and i have a motion at the desk. the speaker pro tempore: the clerk will report the title, designate the senate amendment and report the motion. the clerk: h.r. 2471, an act to

measure the progress of postdisaster recovery and efforts to address corruption, governance, rule of law and media freedoms in haiti. senate amendment. ms. delauro of connecticut move that the house concur in the senate amendment to h.r. 2471, with an amendment consisting of the text of rules committee print 117-35, modified by the amendment printed in house report 117-269. the speaker pro tempore: pursuant to house resolution 973, the motion shall be debatable for one hour, equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking minority member of the committees on appropriation or their respective designees. the gentlewoman from connecticut, ms. delauro, and the gentlewoman from texas, ms. granger, each will control 30 minutes. the chair recognizes the gentlewoman from connecticut, ms. delauro. ms. delauro: mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent that all members may have five legislative days within which to revise and extend their remarks and include extraneous material on house amendment to the senate amendment to h.r. 2471.

the speaker pro tempore: without objection, so ordered. ms. delauro: mr. speaker, i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady is recognized. ms. delauro: mr. speaker, i rise in support of our 2022 government funding legislation. this package makes historic investments in the middle class and people who are living paycheck to paycheck. they deserve a government that instead of catering to the wealthy and big corporations bend oafers backwards to support -- bends over backwards to support them. by providing a 6.7% increase for nondefense funding, the largest increase in four years, that is exactly what we are doing. what a marker we have put down. that is translated into funding for agriculture, increased by 6%. energy and water, increased by 6.6%. 5.7% increase for financial services and general government. 5.2% increase for interior and environment. and the 7.5% increase for transportation and housing.

11.8% increase for legislative branch, which includes support for the capitol police who put their lives on the line defending this body. and a 7.5% increase for labor, health and human service and education to support americans at every stage of their lives. that is what this bill represent, after years of stalled investment in each year. and with the funding included in this package, we're helping working families with the cost of living. we are helping students pay for the high cost of education and giving hardworking families a better chance to own their own homes and we are connecting with rural communities to the internet so that they can reach their full potential. we are putting americans back to work by creating jobs here in america, helping small businesses, supporting job training, rebuilding our infrastructure, including unlocking the full funding provided by the infrastructure

investment and jobs act. we are supporting the vulnerable by feeding the hungry and the food-insecure through nutrition assistance, making housing more affordable, addressing gender-based violence. and we are tackling our toughest challenges. confronting climate change through environmental enforcement. we are supporting environmental justice with $100 million, an $83 million increase over last year. we're making hisser to investments in clean energy and science. by vifnting in life-saving biomedical research, with $3.2 billion, an increase of $104 million, for h.i.v. aid research, confronting -- hiv-aids research, confronting health crises. we're making health care more affordable for more americans and we're going to ensure that big corporations and the wealthy pay their fair share to support these investments by increasing funding for the i.r.s., $12.6

billion. think about, think about the leaders that we hope to emulate as we entered public life, all of us. leaders like frances perkins, the first woman to serve as a u.s. secretary of labor, and one of the principal architects of the new deal. she once said, and i quote, i came to washington to work for god, for f.d.r. and the millions of forgotten, plain, common working men, and i add women. she, as well as my parent, told me to battle for working people, never to take no for an answer. they said work for the everyday citizen. and that is why with this government funding legislation -- that is why we are here tonight as well, to stand in solidarity with the people of ukraine. as the world watches in horror, civilians, including children, the ill, expect ant mothers, are

being targeted by russia's unprovoked and unhumane attacks. we're becoming witness to one of the worst humanitarian crises we have seen in generations. which is why this bill provides $13.6 billion in humanitarian assistance, defense support and economic aid to help the ukrainian people in their most desperate hour of need. we care for our service members and our veterans by providing $224 million for the military's child development centers, strengthening the v.a. with $598 million for suicide prevention outreach of veterans, and $840 million for gender-specific care and efforts for women. labor, health and human services and education, which i am honored to chair, we go even further to expand access to education, head start, child care, life saving biomedical research, public health, maternal health, mental health,

job training and worker protection. and we support workers and support the skills they need to succeed. we deliver for our students by providing the largest increase to pell grants since the recovery act of 2009. by investing $14.5 billion for special education programs, $75 million for full service community schools, $17.5 billion to support lowell low-income students -- support low-income students. we're giving millions of students a chance to access higher education and unlock a lifetime of opportunity. we make health care more affordable and accessible, $8.5 billion for the centers for disease control and prevention. we bolster the public health infrastructure, we confront pressing health crises with $1 billion for maternal and child health. $2 billion for mental health. and $3.9 billion for substance use treatment. finally, we are strengthening

life-saving biomedical research, accelerating the pace of scientific breakthroughs with $6.9 billion for the national cancer institute, $1 billion to establish the advanced research projects agency for health, arpa-h. together we are accelerating the pace of scientific breakthroughs for diseases such as a.l.s., alzheimer's, diabetes and cancer. i must, however, express my disappointment that the hyde amendment remains in this bill. i am the first appropriations chair since 1977 to remove it. because i understand that this is an offensive and discriminatory policy which has shut out countless women from the reproductive health care that they deserve for more than 40 years. while republicans blocked our efforts, i will never stop fighting to ensure equal treatment for women. the 10 bills in this package

include community projects funding, which meets the urgent needs in districts across the country, send as clear message to the american people that congress is working for them. as i conclude, as frances perkins, who said in her farewell address, and i quote, there is always a large horizon and it is up to us to contribute some small part to a program of human betterment for all time. and i believe that through this government funding package, we are proving that that horizon is not only large, but it is endless. there is no limit to what we can achieve and for the first time in a long time i believe we show just how government can work for working people once again and to achieve the betterment of humankind. and with that, i urge your support for this transformative investment in working families and i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady reserves the balance

of her time. the gentlewoman from texas is recognized. ms. granger: mr. speaker, i rise today in support of h.r. 2471, a bill that will provide funding for the federal government through the end of this fiscal year. while it's taken us far too long to get here, i'm glad we were able to produce a bill that includes many funding priorities that i support. since last summer, i've made it clear that those republicans, the house republicans, would oppose appropriations bills unless they increased defense spending, restrained nondefense spending, include all longstanding policy provisions and dobt include any -- do not include any poison pill riders. after months of negotiations, we reached a deal that meets all four of these criteria. the bill before us increases defense spending by roughly 6% which is $4.5 billion above the ndaa, reflectings the

president's proposed 16% increase in nondefense spending, includes the hyde amendment and other critical pro-life policies, and drops other controversial language. for defense, the bill provides our military and our troops with the resources they desperately need. the roughly $42 billion increase in defense spending across all the appropriations bills will improve military readiness, start key modernization initiatives, and support our brave war fighters and their families so they can improve their quality of life. the package also contains an additional $1 billion for israel's iron dome, to allow israel to replace the interceptors that were used in the most recent conflict. the bill also ensures the safety and security of the american people by increasing overall funding for homeland security by

11%. including increases for our immigration and customs enforcement and customs and border protection. new funding is also included to increase staff for the border patrol which-to-address the crisis -- patrol to address the crisis at our southern border. because of this bill, president trump's successful remain in mexico program will continue, and president biden's plan to cancel existing border wall funding will be rejected. i'm proud to say that this bill not only funds the police, it increases resources for law enforcement agencies to address the troubling nationwide increase in crime. also before us today is crucial assistance to help the ukrainian people, the ukrainian government respond to russia's invasion. i know we all share the feeling of shock and grief as we witness russia's attack on the sovereign nation of ukraine and its

aggression across nnlt people -- innocent people. to close, i want to thank my colleagues, chairwoman delauro, senator shelby, senator leahy, and the subcommittee chairs and ranking members for their work on this bill. i urge my colleagues to join me in supporting the items in this bill that enhance our national security and i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman reserves the balance of her time. the gentlewoman from connecticut is recognized. ms. delauro: mr. speaker, i yield two minutes to the gentlewoman from ohio, the chair of the appropriations subcommittee on energy and water, ms. kaptur. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from ohio is recognized for two minutes. ms. kaptur: thank you, mr. speaker. please let me thank chair delauro for your persevering leadership on this critical bill and i'd like to thank ranking member simpson for his productive partnership, as well as the energy and water subcommittee staff and majority clerk, jamie shimmic, for their work. the energy and water division of this bill is an historic investment in american jobs, in innovation and competitiveness. it engages and advances all

energy technologies to assure america's energy independence in perpetuity and for our security while sustaining life on earth. our bill deserves and delivers for the american people by investing $8.3 billion in the army corps of engineers to rebuild america's water infrastructure and prepare for increasing rainfall, rising sea levels and desertification. $44.9 billion in the department of energy, including $2.2 billion for energy efficiency and renewable energy programs to spur good-paying jobs and lower costs for the middle class. importantly, our bill responsibly funds our nuclear deterrent and enhances nonproliferation efforts. in sum, the energy and water division builds forward for america's critical goals. our bill invests in the hardworking men and women who make, build and grow america. now more than ever our bill is needed to unleash american progress in this new century.

finally, as chair of the congressional ukraine caucus, i want to highlight the congress' swift and essential support for ukraine on a bipartisan basis. it is this house, as article 1 of the constitution, that has always led on providing aid to ukraine. the 13.-- $13.6 billion on emergency funding provides resources to ukraine and their brave people to meet their urgent needs. i urge my colleagues to support this measure unanimously. i yield back and thank you. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman yields. the gentlewoman from texas is recognized. regn. ms. granger: i yieldo the former chairman of apopriations, mr. rogers for ve minutes. gentis recogze for five mis. mr. gers: i thank thegentledy. mr. spker, i want to salute chrwan delauro and ranki member g for pti

keep our nation's nuclear arsenal safe and secure, the funding is there for the uranium processing facility. $600 million. so, this is a compromise bill. there's no question about that. but think about this. to my friends in the majority and in the minority, to all of the staff, my gosh, who have worked tirelessly, tierlsly to get this bill done, that's not easy work, because of the bona fide differences that exist between the parties. we have got it done for the american people. no, it's not perfect. but, yes, it is good. it's going to help the people of ukraine. it's going to help our country move forward and i thank the speaker and i yield back and urge a yes vote. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. the gentlewoman from connecticut is recognized. ms. delauro: mr. speaker, i yield one minute to the gentleman from pennsylvania, the chairman of the appropriations subcommittee and commerce, justice and science.

the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from pennsylvania is recognized for one minute. >> thank you, mr. speaker. thank you, madam chair. i rise in support of this omnibus bill and particularly the commerce, justice and science title of the bill. and commerce, it makes smart investments that create american jobs, good paying american jobs, with economic growth. it supports american manufacturing. mr. cartwright: and it makes funding increases for the police, creating better circumstances for public safety, for fighting crime, reducing gang and gun violence, and in hate crime prevention. and with science, it provides robust support for things americans are proud of, like nasa, the national science foundation, climate science research. mr. speaker, i thank the staff for a lot of hard work on this bill. i thank ranking member aderholt for working with me and i urge support for this package. i yield back.

the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the gentlewoman from texas is recognized. ms. granger: i yield to the gentleman from california, the ranking member of the defense subcommittee, mr. calvert, for three minutes. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from california is recognized for three minutes. mr. calvert: i thank the chair and i certainly thank the speaker. i rise today in strong support of this omnibus appropriations package. as a ranking member of the defense appropriations subcommittee, i want to outline why america's position in the world depends on the passage of this bipartisan bill. but first i want to thank chair delauro for her hard work and certainly ranking member granger for putting this together, and especially i want to thank my partner and friend, chair betty mccollum, for the hard work that they put into this bill to make it a reality. certainly the staff on both sides who have been working day and night to put this together and certainly my clerk, johnny kimberly, who has done a

yeoman's job of getting this done. over the last several weeks, we've witnessed russia invade a sovereign nation. killing innocent civilians to the horror of the world. as a matter of fact, just a few hours ago a ma alternativity ward was dom -- maternity ward was bombed by russia, killing new mothers and babies. just a few hours ago. while this happens, president xi, gym kung uniand other autocrats are watching closely to see how the united states will respond. i firmly believe that today we are closer to a large-scale conflict with a near peer adversary than we've been in recent memory. we must get this bill to the president's desk as soon as possible to respond to these acts of aggression. weakness is provocative. and a year-long continuing resolution would undoubtedly demonstrate weakness on a global scale. included in the defense portion

of this bill are many priorities for mer members of both parties that will strengthen our military, including 13 new navy ships, increased investment in the next generation of capability, like hypersonics, full funding for our nuclear modernization, investments in our service members and their families, and as ranking member, i fought hard to make sure this bill gets to d.o.d. what it needs. we began hearings for the fiscal year in 2022 saying that the national defense strategy is the correct strategy. that we need a 3% to 5% net real growth above inflation for fiscal years 2022 to 2025. although nobody anticipated inflation at levels we've seen, i'm proud to say the republicans secured a 6% funding increase over last year's funding level. i'm also proud to say that we worked closely with the armed services and intelligence committee to make sure all the priorities across national

waive the provisions we voted on. so i voted no and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: pursuant to section 11-b of house resolution 188 the house stands adjourned until 10:00 a.m. on friday, march 11, 2022.
