Mr. QUINN. Mr. Chairman, I rise today to commend Interior Chairman
Regula for all of his hard work regarding H.R. 2107, fiscal year 1998
Interior Appropriations Act. Specifically, I wish to thank the chairman
for his efforts regarding funding for the low-income weatherization
program.
Low-income weatherization funding is a proenvironment, money saving
program to help low-income families protect themselves from extreme
seasonal conditions. Funding for energy saving programs like the Low
Income Home Energy Assistance Program [LIHEAP] and weatherization are
under attack. Weatherization funds save money and make LIHEAP funds go
further. They help update old inefficient heating and cooling systems,
insulate drafty homes, and yield annual energy savings of about 18
percent. When these funds are slashed, hard-working low-income families
are left to face the cold winters and the sweltering summer heat
without assistance.
Mr. Speaker, these funds are particularly important to the elderly
who cannot tolerate extreme temperature changes. I know that the city
of Buffalo received $1 million in weatherization funding last year,
which allows the city to help an average of 450 houses per year
increase energy efficiency in their homes. Sadly, there is a 2-year
waiting list consisting of between 1,200 and 1,500 homes that are in
need of weatherization assistance. We cannot afford to cut funding that
is in such need by so many low-income American families.
Thanks to Chairman Regula's efforts, an additional $3 million has
been added to the weatherization funding contained in the fiscal year
1998 Interior Appropriations Act. Therefore, I am withdrawing the
Sanders-Quinn amendment for compromise low-income weatherization
funding from consideration.
Mr. CLAY. Mr. Chairman, if the National Endowment for the Arts is
terminated and a State block grant is enacted, local communities will
suffer tremendous losses, educationally, culturally and economically.
Under the block grant, less than $50 million would be directed to the
States for school-based art education programs. Currently, there are
approximately 51 million students enrolled in primary and secondary
schools. Thus, under the block grant each child would receive less than
$1 for arts education activities. Dispensing funds in such piddling
amounts is tantamount to throwing that money away.
During its 31-year history, the NEA has fostered the placement of
thousands of artists-in-residence in our public schools and has allowed
for the creation of literacy programs and children's festivals. In
partnership with the Department of Education, the NEA assists over 100
national arts and education organizations to implement arts education
in the curriculum. The NEA has also assisted universities in providing
training for teachers and faculty, including national research on the
effects of arts education on cognitive learning. The block grant would
eliminate funding to universities, as well as lifelong learning
programs that serve our Nation's adults, senior citizens, and disabled
citizens.
In addition to improved quality of life and education, the NEA has
made a very positive contribution to our Nation's economy. Through
grants to orchestras, theaters, music ensembles, and other cultural
festivals, the arts industry has supported nearly a million jobs across
the Nation. In turn, these jobs have resulted in billions of dollars in
revenue to the Federal Government. Local economies have seen the
benefits of the arts through increased hotel stays and increased sales
in local restaurants and shops.
Supporters of the block grant of Federal arts funding argue that it
allows more equitable funding to all congressional districts. This is
simply untrue. Under the Ehlers funding formula, funds to State arts
agencies would be cut below the fiscal year 1997 level, which was
already reduce 40 percent under the fiscal year 1996 budget cut. It is
unlikely that these limited State funds will actually reach local
programs, particularly in the Nation's poorest and most isolated
counties. NEA programs, such as Chamber Music Rural Residences--that
have brought chamber music and jazz ensembles to rural areas, including
Tifton, GA, Jesup, IA, and Blytheville, AR--would be eliminated. A
block grant would likely neglect those art and culture groups that have
been historically underserved, groups such as the native American
woodcarvers and the black American dance troupes.
The NEA has brought art to people in small towns and rural areas
throughout the United States. The NEA has helped to educate and
enlighten the young and the old. The NEA has enriched urban and rural
communities across this country, financially as well as culturally.
The Ehlers amendment makes no effort to promote effective development
of, and access to, the arts. The Ehlers amendment does not endeavor to
make effective use of scarce Federal resources. Rather, to please a
fringe group that regard art as synonymous with sin, the Ehlers
amendment would scatter those funds to the winds in amounts too small
to make a difference. I urge rejection to the Ehlers approach.
Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Chairman, for many years, a plan has been in
development to build the Ellis Island Family History Center, a facility
equipped with a data base which visitors of Ellis Island can access to
learn about their immigrant ancestors.
The Center would provide passenger lists and ship manifests for the
millions of visitors who travel to Ellis Island searching for a piece
of their past. Upon completion the Family History Center would contain
almost 30 million records. This project has been listed by the
Department of the Interior and the National Park Service as one of
their highest priorities, and it has been allowed to languish for too
many years.
Various groups, including the Ellis Island Restoration Commission,
which has served as a consultant to the Department of the Interior,
have compiled a data base of almost 8 million records. Yet, no action
has been taken to put all of these records to any use. Some may wonder
why this project has been delayed.
The answer is this: Over the objections of many distinguished members
of this body as well as some officials at the Department of the
Interior, a contract was signed between the Department of the Interior
and the Statue of Liberty/Ellis Island Foundation for the construction
of the Center. The foundation's employees have raised millions of
dollars for this project. In fact, recent financial reports show the
Statute of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation has almost $30 million in
the bank, but the foundation has failed to present an actual plan which
would justify their salaries.
Why hasn't the Department of the Interior put pressure on the
foundation to complete the Center? This very issue was addressed at a
1992 subcommittee hearing when representatives of the National Park
Service testified, incredibly, that since its inception, the foundation
had raised somewhere in the neighborhood of $360 to $370 million of or
the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. However the National Park
Service representatives also testified that ``[the National Park
Service] has had to go hat-in-hand asking for dollars that are due the
Park Service and due the project, simply because the structure of the
Foundation, does not give us an opportunity to exercise oversight on
the receipt or the expenditure of that money.''
That was 1992. It is now 1997 and the time has come for some action
on this project. Our distinguished colleague in the other body, Carl
Levin has been active on this issue and has contacted Secretary Babbitt
asking for some assistance. The Secretary's reply, dated June 9, 1997
states: ``no formal plan exists'' for the project.
By way of comparison I should inform my colleagues that, currently
there is a photographic exhibit of the history of Italian-American
immigrants being displayed a Ellis Island in cooperation with the
Italian government. The Balch Foundation, which has compiled millions
of immigration record for the National
[[Page H5271]]
Archives, agreed to create a database of approximately half-a-million
Italian American records for use in conjunction with the photographs.
The time that it took the Balch Foundation from its first contact by
the Italian Government to the installation of the database at Ellis
Island for use in the exhibit was approximately 2 weeks.
For millions of our Nation's citizens the search for their roots
brings them to Ellis Island. The Family History Center would provide
Ellis Island's visitors with a tangible link to their past. However, at
the present pace it seems likely that this project will never be
realized.
I hope that the House of Representatives will work with me to have
the National Park Service and the Department of the Interior to either
urge the Foundation to act on the Family History Center or award the
contract to an organization that will.
Mrs. MINK of Hawaii. Mr. Chairman, the Interior Appropriations bill
for fiscal year 1998 neglects to fund a number of projects important to
Hawaii.
This bill denies a specific earmark of $700 million for land
acquisitions and exchanges through the Land and Water Conservation Fund
[LWCF] that was included in the recent budget agreement. The direct
result of this omission is no funding for land acquisition at Kai
Malino Ranch on the island of Hawaii, for the Hakalau National Wildlife
Refuge. This parcel comprises some of the only remaining tropical
rainforest in the United States--severely threatened forestland in
Kona--which had been designated by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service
[FWS] in recent past fiscal years as a top national priority for
acquisition. The President's fiscal year 1996 budget included $7
million for acquisition of these forestlands, which was partially
funded by the U.S. Department of the Interior [DOI] at $5 million in
fiscal year 1997. H.R. 2107 neglects to fund the remaining $2 million
to complete the acquisition.
This project demonstrates a cooperative partnership between the
Federal Government and private property owners seeking to conserve
precious natural habitat and unique species living in the rainforest.
Total acquisition of Kai Malino is necessary for the long-term
protection of several of Hawaii's threatened and endangered bird
species, especially the endangered Hawaiian crow, or `alala. FWS and
the Peregrine Fund have been working together for years to save the
crow from extinction, and their coordinated efforts have focused on Kai
Malino which is the only land remaining where crows live in the wild.
A second project that has gone unfunded in this bill is Waihee Marsh
in Kahaluu on the Island of Oahu, which is to be added to the Oahu
National Wildlife Refuge Complex. Last year, Congress authorized this
acquisition. President Clinton signed the bill into law on October 1,
1996 as Public Law 104-209.
Waihee Marsh consists of about 36 acres located on the Northeastern
coast of Oahu. FWS identified Waihee Marsh as a priority acquisition
site in its 1990 wetlands concept plan. The plan documented a loss of
coastal wetland in Hawaii of 31 percent from 1880 to 1980, leaving only
15,474 acres of wetland for indigenous waterbird habitat. The few
remaining wetlands are being preserved, but urban development pressures
continue to take their toll.
A site visit by FWS in November 1994 identified a number of
management priorities for the restoration of Waihee Marsh to a healthy,
naturally functioning wetland. Sediment dredging is necessary to
increase water quality and re-create suitable waterbird habitats.
Aggressive predators such as feral cats, dogs, mongooses and rats that
interfere with waterbird nesting and other activities need to be kept
out of the wetland. Invasive non-native plants such as California grass
and primrose willow that have overrun the refuge need to be removed.
FWS would also need to rehabilitate the Marsh to maintain and create
shallow mudflats, deeper open water areas, areas with fairly dense
native vegetation and other varied features.
Waihee Marsh also serves as a flood control system for adjacent
residential areas in Kaalaea and Waihee. It also acts as a filtration
system for the nearby Kaneohe Bay, which is also undergoing cleanup and
restoration of the diverse marine ecosystem that once occupied the Bay.
H.R. 2107 does not provide funding to purchase Kai Malino Ranch and
Waihee Marsh. These projects are important to help stem the impact on
Hawaii's current endangered species crisis. About 75 percent of plant
and bird extinctions in the U.S. have been Hawaiian species, despite
that fact that the Hawaiian Islands make up less than 0.2 percent of
the country's total land mass. A recent study in the journal Science
highlighted the serious extent of Hawaii's endangered species crisis by
naming Hawaii as one of four hot spots in which the Nation's endangered
species are concentrated.
Last, I am very concerned about the future of Hawaii's dwindling
biodiversity. I requested $1.5 million in funding for genetic plant
conservation. Technology now exists to preserve genetic material from
endangered and threatened plants, in anticipation of future methods
that could recreate populations of these plants again in the future,
even after the last plant disappears from the Earth. H.R. 2107 fails to
fund this request, which would provide for a range of activities
including rare plant monitoring and sampling, seed bank upgrade and
curation, curation and propagation of endangered plant collections,
expanded greenhouse capacity, nursery construction, cryogenic storage
research and development, and in-vitro storage expansion.
Genetic plant conservation is a crucial part of the solution to save
endangered plants not only in Hawaii, but throughout the Nation as
critical habitat dwindles under human pressures. As genetic technology
develops, we would have saved essential materials necessary to restore
plant populations, preventing extinction. Unfortunately, this small but
vital investment in our future was not included in this bill.
The CHAIRMAN. Under the rule, the Committee rises.
Accordingly, the Committee rose; and the Speaker pro tempore, Mr.
LaHood, having assumed the chair, Mr. LaTourette, 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. 2107)
making appropriations for the Department of the Interior and related
agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1998, and for other
purposes, pursuant to House Resolution 181, 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? 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.
Pursuant to clause 7 of rule XV, the yeas and nays are ordered.
The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 238,
