HR 7512 Introduced – CWMD Authorization

Back in February, Rep Ogles (R,TN) introduced HR 7512, the Preserving Counterterrorism Capabilities Act of 2026. This bill is a clean reauthorization of the Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction. It changes the date in 6 USC 591(e) for the termination of the authorization of the Office from December 31st, 2023, to February 28th, 2027. No new funding is authorized by this legislation.  The Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office was authorized by 6 USC 591 on December 21st, 2018. That authorization terminated five years later {§591(e)}. Since there are no regulatory issues associated with the Office that need specific authorization, Congress has been able to continue funding the Office in spending bills without extending the termination date.  Moving Forward   Ogles is a member of the House Homeland Security Committee to which this bill was assigned for consideration. This means that there may be sufficienct influence to see this bill considered in Committee. I see nothing in ths bill that would engender any organized opposition. On the other hand, there is no regulatory issue that demands the reauthorization of this Office. If this bill were considered, I expect that it would receive bipartisan support, probably sufficient support to be considered by the full House under the suspension of the rules process.  Commentary   The FY 2027 Budget Request (pg 27) notes that the Administration intends to reorganize the CWMD Office, reducing the funding requested by $40 million. This bill would not address the changes being proposed by the Administration. It is not yet clear if there is support in Committee for the reorganization. If not, there may be changes made in this bill to codify the existing organization so that it would be more difficult to effect an administrative reorganization without specific congressional authorization.

Review – HR 7924 Introduced – DOD Trucking Security

Last month, Rep Stefanik (R,NY) introduced HR 7924, the Trucking Security and CCP Disclosure Act of 2026. The bill would require DOD to only use motor carriers that have been certified not be owned or controlled by, and does not have significant business relationships with, any entity identified on the most recent list of Chinese military companies. It would also require DOT’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to develop and maintain a ‘Secure Defense Freight Carrier Registry’. No new funding is authorized by this legislation.  The bill would add §2631b, Certification regarding affiliations with Chinese military companies for surface transportation contracts, to 10 USC Chapter 157. It would also add Chapter 140, Secure Defense Freight Carrier Registry, to 49 USC Subtitle IV.  Moving Forward   Stefanik is a member of the House Armed Services Committee to which this bill was assigned for primary consideration. This means that there may be sufficient influence to see the bill considered in Committee. I see nothing in this bill that would engender organized opposition in that Committee.   The other committee to which this bill was assigned, the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, will likely be a different situation. First there are no cosponsors for this bill assigned to that Committee, so there is no one to speak up for the bill in Committee. Second, there is going to be industry opposition to the driver vetting requirements. Motor carriers have problems keeping enough TWIC or HMI (the two TSA run vetting programs that would likely be required under DOT regulations) drivers on board for current regulatory requirements. This means that there will be some level of push back in that Committee were it to be considered. Whether it would be enough to prevent to bill from moving forward remains to be seen.  According to a press release from Stefanik’s office, she and Sen Cotton (R,AR) are working to include the language from this bill in the upcoming FY 2027 National Defense Authorization Act.  For more information on the provisions of the bill, including a commentary on political theater, see my article at CFSN Detailed Analysis - https://patrickcoyle.substack.com/p/hr-7924-introduced-dod-trucking-security - subscription required.
