Mr. GREEN of Tennessee

Mr. GREEN of Tennessee. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time. Mr. Speaker, again, I urge my colleagues to support H.R. 7832, and I yield back the balance of my time.

Mr. GREEN of Tennessee. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members may have 5 legislative days in which to revise and extend their remarks and include extraneous material on H.R. 7832.

Mr. GREEN of Tennessee. Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bill (H.R. 7832) to require the Secretary of Homeland Security to develop a plan to identify, integrate, and deploy new, innovative, disruptive, or other emerging or advanced technologies to enhance, or address capability gaps in, border security operations, and for other purposes.

Mr. GREEN of Tennessee

Mr. GREEN of Tennessee. Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bill (S. 794) to require a pilot program on the participation of non-asset-based third-party logistics providers in the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism.

Mr. GREEN of Tennessee. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of S. 794, the CTPAT Pilot Program Act of 2023, which would establish a pilot program to assess the security benefits of providers in the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism program. I urge support, and I reserve the balance of my time.

Mr. GREEN of Tennessee. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time. Mr. Speaker, again, I urge my colleagues to support S. 794, and I yield back the balance of my time.

Mr. GREEN of Tennessee. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members may have 5 legislative days in which to revise and extend their remarks and include extraneous material on S. 794.

Mr. GREEN of Tennessee. Mr. Speaker, I yield such time as he may consume to the gentleman from Louisiana (Mr. Higgins), the chairman of the Subcommittee on Border Security and Enforcement.

Mr. GREEN of Tennessee

Mr. GREEN of Tennessee. Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bill (H.R. 6231) to amend the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to require a prioritized policy issuance review process for the Department of Homeland Security, and for other purposes.

Mr. GREEN of Tennessee. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members may have 5 legislative days in which to revise and extend their remarks and include extraneous material on H.R. 6231.

Mr. GREEN of Tennessee. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. I rise in support of H.R. 6231, the Department of Homeland Security Policy Issuance Review Act. I thank the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Ivey) for this commonsense oversight legislation. I urge support of the measure, and I reserve the balance of my time.

Mr. GREEN of Tennessee. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time to close. Again, I urge my colleagues to support this bill. This is a bipartisan bill. Mr. Ivey put a lot of work into this. It makes good common sense, and it allows us to oversee the Department with more authority and effectiveness. I fully support it, and I urge my colleagues to do so. I yield back the balance of my time.

Mr. GREEN of Tennessee

Mr. GREEN of Tennessee. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members may have 5 legislative days in which to revise and extend their remarks and include extraneous material on H.R. 9459.

Mr. GREEN of Tennessee. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 9459, the PATHS Act. DHS' other transaction authority is an important tool in the Department's limited arsenal of mechanisms to acquire innovative new research and prototypes. This bill also includes some commonsense transparency reforms to DHS' use of OTA authority. Mr. Speaker, I commend my colleague, the gentleman from Mississippi (Mr. Guest), for his work on this measure. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.

Mr. GREEN of Tennessee. Mr. Speaker, I yield such time as he may consume to the gentleman from Mississippi (Mr. Guest) the Congressman who represents my parents and who is the vice chairman of the Committee on Homeland Security.

Mr. GREEN of Tennessee. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time. I, again, urge my colleagues to support H.R. 9459, and I yield back the balance of my time.

Mr. GREEN of Tennessee

Mr. GREEN of Tennessee. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members have 5 days in which to revise and extend their remarks and include extraneous material on H.R. 3208.

Mr. GREEN of Tennessee. Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bill (H.R. 3208) to amend the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to establish a DHS Cybersecurity On-the-Job Training Program, and for other purposes.

Mr. GREEN of Tennessee. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 3208. The DHS Cybersecurity On-the-Job Training Program Act will strengthen CISA's role in providing cybersecurity training to DHS employees not formerly in cybersecurity positions. This legislation is reflective of the consistent efforts of its sponsor, Ms. Jackson Lee, who we all lost just months ago, to improve DHS. This, I believe, is her last bill. She was a true friend to the committee and to this Chamber, and I know we will all miss her presence. Mr. Speaker, I urge support, and I reserve the balance of my time.

Mr. GREEN of Tennessee. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time. I, again, urge my colleagues to support H.R. 3208, and I yield back the balance of my time.

Mr. GREEN of Tennessee. Mr. Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays.

Mr. GREEN of Tennessee

Mr. GREEN of Tennessee. Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bill (S. 4698) to authorize the Joint Task Forces of the Department of Homeland Security, and for other purposes.

Mr. GREEN of Tennessee. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members have 5 legislative days in which to revise and extend their remarks and to include extraneous material on S. 4698.

Mr. GREEN of Tennessee. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. I rise in support of S. 4698, the DHS Joint Task Forces Reauthorization Act of 2024, which extends authorization for DHS' Joint Task Force authority until September 30, 2026. This critical authority allows DHS to use multiagency task forces to defend U.S. borders against terrorism and other emerging threats in a unity of effort campaign. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman from Louisiana (Mr. Higgins) for his leadership on the House companion to this legislation, H.R. 9460, and I reserve the balance of my time.

Mr. GREEN of Tennessee. Mr. Speaker, I yield such time as he may consume to the gentleman from Louisiana (Mr. Higgins).
