The speaker pro tempore members, the house will be in order. For what purpose does the gentleman from tennessee seek recognition . Mr. Speaker, the house is not in order. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman is correct. Members, please carry your conversations off the floor. Mr. Speaker, i have a motion to recommit at the desk.

Add at the end of section 3 the following. C, effective date, the section shall take effect on september 30, 2027. The speaker pro tempore pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from tennessee is recognized for five minutes in support of his motion. Mr. Green thank you, mr. Speaker. Many of us made the trip this summer to normandy to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the dday landings. It was an amazing opportunity. Standing among the rows of crosses and stars of david in the u. S. Cemetery, i was reminded of the sacrifices of our incredible american warriors. Standing there it ignited my memory of 24 years of wearing the uniform. I was reminded of my driver, when i was a young second lieutenant. He was 411 and had a heart the size of his home state, new york. I recall my radio telephone operators, both from california, when i was a commander in the 82nd airborne division. They stuck to me like glue and would try so often to sneak food in so that we could eat while we were all rigged up in our airborne gear before an airborne operation. And of course my friends from the war flashed into my mind. I will never forget watching the flagdraped coffin of a fellow army ranger carried into the back of a c17 in bagram, afghanistan, for his last trip home. Our veterans deserve everything that we can give them. However, in the past few years, despite improvements in the v. A. Electronic Health Records system, problems and delays still remain. For example, the very benefits that congresswoman underwood in this bill advances for illegal aliens flooding across our southern border our veterans border, our veterans dont have those benefits. Let me say that again. This bill, without the amendment im asking this body to consider, advances Health Care Services to illegal aliens before it does our american heroes. The v. A. Secretary testified before congress that it will take his department 10 years to fully deploy this new system. I have the deployment schedule for the v. A. From their website and, mr. Speaker, i ask unanimous consent to enter this into the record. The speaker pro tempore without objection. Mr. Green this timeline states that our veterans will not get an Interoperable Electronic Health Record at all v. A. Health care facilities until september 20 of 2027. V. A. Medical facilities serving veterans in virginia wont get it until 2024. Pennsylvania, new york, new jersey and new england wont fully be operational until 2026. And it wont be until 2027 that v. A. Medical facilities in iowa, minnesota and illinois are fully operational. Veterans in my home state of tennessee wont benefit from an Interoperable Electronic Health Record until 2023. Yet with my amendment, without this amendment, without my amendment were going to give it to illegal aliens within 90 days. The house is not in order. Mr. Green the house is not in order. The speaker pro tempore members the member is correct. Members, please carry your conversations off the floor. Mr. Green mr. Speaker, these are the same men and women who when they raised their right hand and they took that oath, wrote a blank check for america. For every person in this room. That was cashable, redeemable all the way up until their life, their very life. I think our constituents across this great country would find it appalling that were about to give this Health Records system to Illegal Immigrants before our veterans receive it. All this amendment does is ensure that our veterans get his service first. If you vote against this motion to recommit, you are giving an Electronic Health medical record to illegal aliens before our veterans. With that, i yield back. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. For what purpose does the gentlewoman from illinois seek recognition . I rise in opposition to the motion to recommit. The speaker pro tempore the gentlewoman from illinois is recognized for five minutes. Thank you. My colleagues in this body, medical experts and our neighbors and constituents all agree the humanitarian and medical situation at our southern border has reached crisis levels. And during my conversations with Health Officials at the border, including with the department of Homeland Security, they told me that one of the most Urgent Solutions they need is an Electronic Health record that can be used by everyone providing medical care at the border. D. H. S. Recognize this is too and has already taken steps toward implementation but its not moving fast enough. Ms. Underwood this legislation directs that process, setting an aggressive but achieveable timeline that reflects the urgency of the humanitarian situation. The children and families in our care cant afford any further delays. Let me be clear. As a nurse and a member of the House Committee on veterans affair, providing world class care to our veterans is a top priority. Ive introduced a number of proposals to improve Health Care Delivery tour veterans an im working on a slate of others. I welcome the input of my colleagues from across the aisle who want to work with me on modernizing the v. A. To better serve women veterans, improving Mental Health care access and quality, ending the veteran suicide epidemic or any other way to serve our countrys heroic veterans. But where im from in Northern Illinois we can walk and chew gum at the same time. Because we also have a moral duty to ensure that children and children in our governments custody receive the basic medical screenings and services they need to ensure lives are not lost on our watch. Its simple. We cab do both. Thats what were debating here today. Children are dying of preventable causes and our in our care for the first time in a decade. We all agree that the humanitarian situation at our southern border presents a complex set of challenges. Congress has a duty to address those challenges by providing as appropriate both resources and oversight. Oversight is going through the excellent work of our committees in addition to inspectors general. And we have repeatedly met requests for additional humanitarian funding as needed. Needed. Ntly most recently with the approval of almost 5 billion in supplemental funding this summer. But this congress is choosing rightly to provide that funding along with additional guardrails and directions for how to spend it in a way that is consistent with american values. Because the status quo is unacceptable. Children are dying of preventable causes in our care for the first time in a decade. My bill along with congressman ruizs and congresswoman escobars provides the guardrails and direction to reverse course. Lets be clear. This is not some gold plated package. What these policies do is establish minimum, consistent standards that ensure that we can effectively provide the most basic medical screening and care. What were doing is making sure that children and families in our care are asked questions like, do you have a fever . Do you have your inhale her could you be pregnant . And that their answers are recorded and used to make sure that they are provided basic care. These changes are urgently needed. Children are dying of preventable causes in our care for the first time in a decade. Children like darlene, jacqueline, felipe, juan, wilmer and carlos. Medical care for these children has huge, unacceptable gaps. We have a responsibility to implement commonsense, effective policies we knee will fix that because children should never die from a preventable cause in our care. And we have a responsibility to ensure that the department of home lan security is better prepared for future challenges to ensure the failures that contributed to these deaths are never repeated. Children in our care have been separated from their families. Theyve been denied toothbrushes. The speaker pro tempore will the gentleman hold please. Members, can we just hold our conversations off the floor, please. Please continue. Ms. Underwood children in our care have been separated from their family, been denied toothbrushes and blankets, been saddled with trauma that can affect them for their entire lives. We must make sure these children and their families have access to basic medical care and screening while in custody. Thats why we have to reject this procedural gimmick which could delay essential tools and resources from getting to officials at the border who need them. I urge all my colleagues, vote no on the motion to recommit and vote yes to pass this bill. I yield to the distinguished ajority leader, steny hoyer. Mr. Hoyer read the bill. Read the amendment that you offer. Eric cantor called m. T. R. s a gimmick. This is the gimmick of gimmicks. It disease nothing for it does nothing for Veterans Health care. Not a single thing. You know it, i know it, everybody in this house knows it. Ll it does all it does is try to delay this bill for 0 years. And theyre going to all vote against the bill. Will not. It does nothing for veterans if the gentleman cared about veterans care he would have offered it. The speaker pro tempore the gentlemans time has expired.
