             MILITARY CONSTRUCTION APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 1996

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 167 and rule 
XXIII, the Chair declares the House in the Committee of the Whole House 
on the State of the Union for the further consideration of the bill, 
H.R. 1817.

                              {time}  1023


                     in the committee of the whole

  Accordingly the House resolved itself into the Committee of the Whole 
House on the State of the Union for the further consideration of the 
bill (H.R. 1817) making appropriations for military construction, 
family housing, and base realignment and closure for the Department of 
Defense for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1996, and for other 
purposes, with Mr. Barrett of Nebraska in the chair.
  The Clerk read the title of the bill.
  The CHAIRMAN. When the Committee of the Whole House rose on Tuesday, 
June 20, 1995, the amendment offered by the gentleman from 
Massachusetts [Mr. Frank] had been disposed of and the bill had been 
read through line 12, page 19.
  Are there further amendments?


                     amendment offered by mr. obey

  Mr. OBEY. Mr. Chairman, I offer an amendment.
  The CHAIRMAN. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       Amendment number 7 offered by Mr. Obey: Page 19, after line 
     12, insert the following new section:
       Sec. 126. The amounts otherwise provided in this Act for 
     the following accounts are hereby reduced by the following 
     amounts:
       (1) ``Military Construction, Army'', aggregate amount, 
     $14,000,000.
       (2) ``Military Construction, Navy'', aggregate amount, 
     $9,500,000.
       (3) ``Military Construction, Army National Guard'', 
     $13,200,000.
       (4) ``Military Construction, Air National Guard'', 
     $11,000,000.
       (5) ``Military Construction, Air Force Reserve'', 
     $1,800,000.

  Mr. OBEY. Mr. Chairman, this amendment is a very easy to understand 
amendment. It simply cuts this bill by $50 million. As I think most 
Members know, this $7.2 billion bill is $2.5 billion above last year's 
appropriations for the same items and it is one half of a billion 
dollars above the President's request.
  Now, many of the projects added by the committee are referred to as 
quality of life projects which improve the quality of life of our 
servicemen and women.

                              {time}  1020

  This does nothing whatsoever to limit those projects, but by my 
calculation, there are at least $140 million in added projects which 
have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with improving quality of life 
for our service men and women. They are simply added projects for 
Members who are attempting to change DOD construction priorities.
  My amendment simply seeks to reduce the added spending in this bill 
somewhat less than that amount, $50 million out of $140 million. It is 
hardly a radical amendment.
  For those of you concerned about which projects this amendment 
affects, I would say it does not affect any [[Page H 6166]] project 
specifically. I am not trying to embarrass any individual Member on 
either side of the aisle. I am simply trying to cut the overall amounts 
so that this committee can, as it deals with the Senate, use its own 
judgment in conjunction with the Secretary on where those reductions 
ought to come from.
  This is a time of stark choices. The bill before us represents an 
unbelievable increase of 28 percent over last year's appropriation. I 
do not believe that is justifiable nor do I believe that is defensible 
at a time when we are seeing major reductions in other key programs 
that affect working people all over this country.
  The Labor, Health, and Education bill, for instance, is going to be 
$10 billion below last year's level. The HUD bill is going to be some 
$9 billion below last year's level. The Interior bill yesterday had to 
make very deep reductions in some key programs to help local units of 
government because of reductions in that area. The Commerce, Justice 
bill is going to be cut substantially, squeezing our ability to provide 
decent funding for law enforcement all over the country.
  The magnitude of those cuts is going to endanger a lot of health 
programs. It is going to put student loans in a position where the 
costs for those will rise significantly. Veterans' programs will be at 
risk. Law enforcement, immigration enforcement, national parks, housing 
for the elderly, all of them are going to be at risk, and yet we have 
this bill before us with a 28-percent increase over last year.
  I think that is phenomenally ridiculous. I think it is a spectacular 
example of how this Congress is missing the boat in terms of a rational 
set of priorities when it comes to applying required spending cuts.
  This is a modest effort, $50 million cut out of a huge, over $11 
billion, bill.
  I would urge that the committee adopt the amendment.
  Mrs. VUCANOVICH. Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to the amendment.
  No matter how the gentleman describes his proposal, it is simply an 
across-the-board reduction to five accounts in this bill.
  If the gentleman wanted to eliminate individual projects in the bill, 
we could have debated the merits of doing so. He could have identified 
projects for us that he believed to be less meritorious. We could have 
discussed whether or not they deserved the support of the House. But he 
did not choose to do that. Instead, he proposes to cut a substantial 
amount of resources from the bill, but without canceling any projects.
  Mr. Chairman, our subcommittee has worked hard to present a good bill 
to the House. We have done this in a very bipartisan manner, and we 
have coordinated our actions with the authorizing committee. In its 
most basic sense, the bill literally adds up. There is no creative 
accounting or other fiscal gimmickry to make the numbers work. It is 
just good, straightforward mathematics.
  But the gentleman appears to think that there is a better way to do 
the job. All that is required is to pull a number out of thin air. 
Ignore the detailed architectural work, engineering, design, and cost 
estimating that backs up each and every project. Ignore the realities 
of area cost factors that are constantly changing around the country 
and around the world. Ignore the bidding climate that is very sensitive 
to the timing of construction proposals.
  Instead, just make up a number.
  Mr. Chairman, I ask the Members to stand in support of the good work 
we have performed in hammering out the details of this bill. It is a 
good bill, and it deserves your support. Oppose this proposal to just 
make up a number and tell the Department of Defense to find a way to 
live with it.
  I ask for your vote against this amendment.
  The CHAIRMAN. The question is on the amendment offered by the 
gentleman from Wisconsin [Mr. Obey].
  The question was taken; and the Chairman announced that the noes 
appeared to have it.
  Mr. OBEY. Mr. Chairman, I demand a recorded vote, and, pending that, 
I make the point of order that a quorum is not present.
  The CHAIRMAN. Evidently a quorum is not present.
  Pursuant to the provisions of clause 2, rule XXIII, the Chair 
announces that he will reduce to a minimum of 5 minutes the period of 
time within which a vote by electronic device, if ordered, will be 
taken on the pending question following the quorum call.
  Members will record their presence by electronic device.
  The call was taken by electronic device.

                          personal explanation
  Mr. PORTMAN. Mr. Chairman, because of an unforeseen scheduling 
conflict, I was unable to be in attendance in the House for one 
recorded vote, rollcall vote No. 400 on the Obey amendment to H.R. 
1817.
  Had I been in attendance, I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall vote 
No. 400.
  The CHAIRMAN. Are there further amendments?
  If not, the Clerk will read the last two lines of the bill.
  The Clerk read as follows:

       This Act may be cited as the ``Military Construction 
     Appropriations Act, 1996''.

  The CHAIRMAN. If there are no further amendments, under the rule the 
Committee rises.
  Accordingly, the Committee rose; and the Speaker pro tempore (Mr. 
Bunning of Kentucky) having assumed the chair, Mr. Barrett of Nebraska, 
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. 1817) making appropriations for military construction, family 
housing, and base realignment and closure for the Department of Defense 
for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1996, and for other purposes, 
pursuant to House Resolution 167, directed he report 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.
  There was no objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is a separate vote demanded on any 
amendment? 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.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the passage of the bill.
  Under the rule, the yeas and nays are ordered.
  The yeas and nays were ordered.
  The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 319, 
nays 105, not voting 10, as follows:
