Announcement by the Acting Chairman

The Acting Chairman (during the vote): Members are advised there are 2 minutes remaining in this vote.

Mr. Hinojosa changed his vote from "aye" to "no."

So the amendment was rejected.

The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.

The Acting chairman: There being no other amendments before the House, the Committee rises.

Accordingly, the Committee rose; and the Speaker pro tempore (Mr. Kind) having assumed the chair, Mr. Pomeroy, Acting Chairman of the Committee of the Whole House on the State of the Union, reported that that Committee, having had under consideration the bill (H.R. 2446) to reauthorize the Afghanistan Freedom Support Act of 2002, and for other purposes, pursuant to House Resolution 453, he reported the bill back to the House with sundry amendments adopted by the Committee of the Whole.

The Speaker pro tempore: Under the rule, the previous question is ordered.

Is a separate vote demanded on any amendment reported from the Committee of the Whole? If not, the Chair will put them en gros.

The amendments were agreed to.

The Speaker pro tempore: The question is on the engrossment and third reading of the bill.

The bill was ordered to be engrossed and read a third time, and was read the third time.

Motion to Recommit Offered by Mr. Pence

Mr. Pence: Mr. Speaker, I offer a motion to recommit.

The Speaker pro tempore: Is the gentleman opposed to the bill?

Mr. Pence: Yes, I am in its current form.

The Speaker pro tempore: The Clerk will report the motion to recommit.

The Clerk read as follows:

Mr. Pence moves to recommit the bill H.R. 2446 to the Committee on Foreign Affairs with instructions to report the same back to the House forthwith with the following amendment:

At the end of title III of the bill (relating to miscellaneous provisions), insert the following new section (and conform the table of contents accordingly):

SEC. 3_. UNITED STATES POLICY TOWARD IRAN.

(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:

(1) It is of grave concern that General Peter Pace, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, stated in late April 2007 that United States and Coalition forces "have intercepted weapons in Afghanistan headed for the Taliban that were made in Iran".

(2) Iran's provision of weaponry and technological expertise to terrorist and criminal elements operating in Afghanistan have reportedly included--

(A) 107 mm mortars, rocket-propelled grenades, C-4 explosives, and small arms;

(B) surface-to-air missiles reportedly supplied by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard;

(C) explosively-formed projectiles, one of which was recently discovered in Kabul; and

(D) Iranian 240 mm rockets, with a range of up to 30 miles, which have been used recently by Shiite extremists against United States and British targets in Basra and Baghdad.

(3) An increase in both the quantity and quality of Iranian arms shipments and technological expertise to the Taliban, other terrorist organizations, and criminal elements has the potential to significantly change the battlefield in Afghanistan, and lead to a large increase in United States, International Security Assistance Force, Coalition, and Afghan casualties.

(b) Rule of Construction.--Nothing in this Act or any amendment made by this Act shall be construed to limit the ability of the United States to respond to Iranian-supported or facilitated attacks against United States Armed Forces or interests in Afghanistan.

The Speaker pro tempore: The gentleman from Indiana is recognized for 5 minutes.

Mr. Pence: Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of this motion to recommit with instructions. Part of my responsibilities here in the Congress are that I serve as the ranking Republican member on the Middle East Subcommittee on the Committee on Foreign Affairs. As such, I have been intimately involved in the development of the underlying legislation and am strongly supportive of it.

But I think it is also imperative that we adopt this motion to recommit and add language that addresses an issue of great concern to the United States of America, to Afghanistan, and to the free world.

Mr. Speaker, we are receiving numerous reports that Iranian-made arms are being shipped to Afghanistan and transferred to the Taliban and other radical Islamic forces that seek to kill U.S. troops and Afghan forces.

This past April, General Peter Pace, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, confirmed that, "We have intercepted weapons in Afghanistan headed for the Taliban that were made in Iran."

This past Monday, on a visit to Kabul, Defense Secretary Robert Gates noted that the weapons are flowing not only to the Taliban but to drug traffickers as well. "There have been indications over the past few months of weapons coming in from Iran. Some weapons," he said, "are coming into Afghanistan destined for the Taliban, but perhaps also for criminal elements involved in the drug trafficking coming from Iran."

The arms transferred reportedly include mortars, rocket-propelled grenades, C-4 explosives, surface-to-air missiles reportedly supplied by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, and rockets with a 30-mile range.

Most disturbingly, an explosively formed projectile, an EFP, similar in characteristics to the Iranian-made ones that have killed our soldiers in Iraq, were recently discovered in Kabul.

Given Iran's unceasingly hostile rhetoric and actions in opposition to the United States, our interests and our allies, and given that these weapons were made in Iran, it is very reasonable to draw the conclusion that the Iranian regime transferred these arms to the Taliban.

We cannot allow Iran to undermine U.S. efforts and kill our soldiers in Afghanistan or to return that country to the status of a failed State and pave the way for increased terrorism against the West.

What we must do, simply, is to confront and respond to any efforts to subvert our efforts and kill our troops in Afghanistan.

As General Pace noted, "I think we should continue to be aggressive inside of Iraq, and aggressive inside of Afghanistan, in attacking any element that's attacking U.S. and coalition forces, regardless of where they come from."

If we are to be vigilant in protecting the lives of our soldiers and our allies' soldiers and security forces, we cannot tie the hands of our President and our commanders in the field. They need to have every option at their disposal and opportunity to combat an insidious threat from Iran that appears to be supplying weapons to our enemies.

Accordingly, we offer this motion to recommit which explicitly states that the Afghanistan Freedom and Security Support Act does not limit America's ability to respond to attacks that Iran supports or facilitates against our forces or interests in Afghanistan.

As the United States begins to engage Iran diplomatically, we must also make it clear that we will defend our allies and our interests in Afghanistan with all the means at our disposal.

Mr. Speaker, our relationship with Iran should be described as follows: one hand extended in diplomatic negotiation and another hand resting lightly on the holster of the arsenal of democracy.

Mr. Speaker, in support of our troops, in support of freedom and stability in Afghanistan, I call on my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to strongly support this motion to recommit.

Mr. Lantos: Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to claim the time in opposition to this motion, although I'm not opposed to the motion.

The Speaker pro tempore: Without objection, the gentleman from California is recognized for 5 minutes.

There was no objection.

Mr. Lantos: Mr. Speaker, this has been a bipartisan bill from the very beginning. We have incorporated ideas from both sides of the aisle into this legislation. The recommittal motion has no practical effect whatsoever.

Nothing in the legislation before the House would prohibit the United States from responding to an Iranian military attack on the United States forces or interests in Afghanistan. In fact, no statute prohibits the President from ordering a response to military attacks upon our Nation or upon our Armed Forces.

However, this motion does not provide for taking any military action outside Afghanistan, nor should it. Therefore, I will support this motion to recommit.

The Speaker pro tempore: Without objection, the previous question is ordered on the motion to recommit.

There was no objection.

The Speaker pro tempore: The question is on the motion to recommit.

The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that the ayes appeared to have it.

Recorded Vote

Mr. Pence: Mr. Speaker, I demand a recorded vote.

A recorded vote was ordered.

The Speaker pro tempore: Pursuant to clause 8 and clause 9 of rule XX, this 15-minute vote on the motion to recommit will be followed by 5-minute votes, if ordered, on further proceedings in recommittal; passage of the bill; and suspension of the rules with respect to H.R. 2560.

The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 345, noes 71, not voting 16, as follows:
