authorized to impose sanctions described in subsection b with respect to any foreign person determined by the president. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from washington seek recognition? mr. smith: i reserve a point of order. the clerk: a, in general, the president is offered to impose sanctions with respect to any foreign person determined by the president, one, to be response i will for or complicit in or to have engaged directly or indirectly, activities including cyber activities originating from or directing by foreign persons that are reasonably likely to result in or have materially contributed to a significant threat to the national security, foreign policy, public health or economic health or financial stability of the united states and have the purpose harming or

otherwise significantly compromising the provision of services by a computer or network of computers that support one or more entities -- mr. green: mr. speaker. the speaker pro tempore: the clerk will suspend. mr. green: i ask unanimous consent to dispense with the reading. the speaker pro tempore: is there objection? the speaker pro tempore: without objection. the reading is dispensed with. the gentleman from tennessee is recognized for five minutes. mr. green: operation warpspeed is an unprecedented public-private partnership to accelerate the development, manufacturing and distribution of covid-19 vaccines, they are putics and diagnose no, sir particulars. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman will suspend. members.

the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from tennessee which proceed. green green one of the goals is to have 3 million doses of effecttive vaccine by january, 2021. moderna plans to start phase three and two other expected to begin phase three. the speed which the process is truly warp speed. this could not occur without the federal government and private sector working hand in hand. companies are taking enormous financial risks to conduct research, develop vaccine candidates and create more capacity. the federal government has poured more in the effort yet countries like china are trying to steal america's work in developing a covid vaccine for

their benefit. as confirmed by intelligence agencies, the chinese government, the russian government and other hackers are trying to steal intellectual property related to vaccine treatments, testing from covid-19 researchers. in fact, d.o.j. charged chinese hackers just three hours ago. since the start of this crisis, the chinese communist party has prevented the world from responding. not only did they keep it a secret from their own citizens but hid it from the world. when word got out about the virus, the chinese communist party lied and arrested doctors and journalists and whistleblowers who dared to warn their citizens of the dangers. many of these are missing and

presumed dead. researchers at columbia university, those scientists said had china notified the world just one week sooner, 61% of american deaths could have been prevented. think about that. -plus 143,000 is 87,000 americans who would not be dead if china spoken up one week sooner. indicative of their past actions, china the house will be in order.ed p.p.e. in the early days of the virus. despite dominating p.p.e. manufacturing, china the house will be in order.ed the p.p.e. the exports of p.p.e. to china grew over 1,000% in january and february compared to the same period last year. and in their time of need we sent them p.p.e. china.onated p.p.e. to

what did china do? they sold the very p.p.e. that italy donated to them and refused to ship to the united states decrying regulations to keep p.p.e. away from us gettysburg our peak need. now the chinese communist party is hacking researchers who are trying to find a cure for the pandemic that they tried to cover up. if the chinese communist party steals the vaccine, they will leverage it for their own economic ends, which boils down to one thing and one thing only, he communists want power and totalitarian party. we must show them there are consequences for these acks which pose a clear threat to the safety of our fellow americans. if chinese companies or individuals hack covid-19 researchers, they should be

punished with tough sanctions. this m.t.r. enables sanctions against individuals responsible for significant malicious cyber-enabled activities that endanger the public health of america. it requires a report on whether cyber hacking related specifically to covid-19 call qualifies. to those who say this should go through regular order, i say we cannot wait. every day, people are dying from covid-19. we need a vaccine now. we cannot afford for china to steal american work and leverage it against the united states and the world. we cannot spare the weeks, maybe even months, a stand-alone bill would take. americans are dying. china is hacking and we in congress must act. researchers need to be protected now. we have an opportunity. it's time for a bipartisan effort. think of the message that we

will send the chinese communist party, hacking american intellectual property will not be tolerated especially if it jeopardizes the lives of americans. if we cannot agree on punishing those, i don't know what we can agree on. i urge my colleagues to support this m.t.r. with that, i yield. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman om washington seek time in recognition? mr. smith: seek time to claim opposition in the motion to recommit. the speaker pro tempore: does the gentleman reserve the reservation? mr. smith: yes. the gentleman from washington is recognized for five minutes. this is a terrible idea to introduce a 13-page sanctions bill at the last second and

expect to vote on it without knowing the true impacts. i agree we should have have tools to hold anyone who is accountable. within current law, there are a ton of tools to do precisely that. putting in law brand new sanctions legislation without thinking about it is a bad idea. and if this was so crucial and so important, why are we just seeing it at this last second? there were in the neighborhood of 2,000 ideas to be added to the defense bill all along the process. we would have had time to work on it and think about it and craft a decent piece of legislation. this clearly does not have that objective in mind. this is a bad way to make law. i urge us to vote no. not to jeopardize all the incredible work that members on both sides of the aisle did in this bill. there are tons of amendments.

2,000 provisions are equal between republicans and democrats. we have an incredibly bipartisan piece of legislation which individual members decided something was important, worked the issue and got us a product we could support. this puts in a position. and i would urge members to vote no. we absolutely need to hold accountable russia, china, whoever wants to interfere with our process of developing a vaccine or cyber hack us and there are an enormous number of tools to do so. i make an urgent plea, one of the gentleman's arguments is that china hid the true risk of the virus from the american people. and yes, that is terrible that china did that. not actually their job to warn the american people, it's the president's job to warn the american people and talk about

someone who has done a horrible job of warning us of the true dangers of the virus. it was just i think last week, maybe a week and a half week ago where the president said 99% of the cases are harmless. that's wrong. the president said it's going to magicically disappear and cannot even bring himself to tell us to wear a mask. you don't like mandates, ok, that's fine. let's have the leader of our country tell us what we ought to do to protect ourselves. he is the one who is not warning the american people of the true danger of this virus because sadly, we would kind of listen to him. we aren't going to listen to the chinese and we don't trust them for the all reasons i said. i implore you to ask the

president. it is the least he ought to do of the american people. this is incredibly frustrating. i want my kids back in school and my constituents back to work. if we took the virus seriously and did the work necessary to contain it, we could do it. the president wants to stand up and say, not a problem, nothing to worry about it. it's all good. we are paying an enormous price. let's hold russia and china and hold our president and the executive branch for these spectacular failure in leadership that we are living with and dying with today in this country and let's also oppose this motion to recommit as bad legislation that isn't going to make any difference whatsoever and pass the defense bill. this is an excellent piece of legislation, a bipartisan piece of legislation that we have all worked on and produced an excellent product.

please vote yes. please pass this bill and keep the legislative process going forward. don't forget, what we are doing here is providing for the national security, providing for the department of defense, providing for the men and women who we're asking to put their lines on the line for the defense of this country and giving them the support they need and deserve. vote down the motion to recommit. vote for the national defense re-authorization act. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. the previous question is ordered on the motion to recommit. the question is on the motion. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. the noes have it. the motion is not agreed to. mr. green: i request a recorded vote. the speaker pro tempore: pursuant to section 3 of house resolution 965, yeas and nays are ordered. members will record their votes y electronic device.
