FURTHER PROVIDING FOR CONSIDERATION OF H.R. 4274, DEPARTMENTS OF LABOR, 
    HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, AND EDUCATION, AND RELATED AGENCIES 
                        APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 1999

  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. LaTourette). The Chair would advise that 
the gentleman from California (Mr. Dreier) has 24\1/2\ minutes 
remaining, and the gentlewoman from New York (Ms. Slaughter) has 12 
minutes remaining in the debate on the rule.
  Mr. DREIER. Mr. Speaker, moving right along in an expeditious manner, 
as we have been trying to throughout the day on most of the questions 
we have faced here, I yield 4 minutes to the distinguished gentleman 
from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (Mr. Istook), a member on the Committee on 
Appropriations.
  Mr. ISTOOK. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of the rule regarding the 
appropriations measure on Labor, Health and Human Services, and 
Education.
  There has been a lot of work, of course, that has gone with this 
bill, as there always is, this being one of the largest spending bills 
each year that comes before the House.
  I especially want to compliment the chairman of the Subcommittee of 
Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, the gentleman from 
Illinois (Mr. Porter). This is always a very difficult bill, bringing 
together, as it does, so many different issues, so much major funding. 
The gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Porter) has gone to great pains to 
work with a large number of Members who had concerns over this measure.
  I know the gentleman is personally very pleased with the additional 
funding for medical research through the National Institute of Health, 
which are in this bill, the efforts to increase the efficiency of the 
money that actually reaches the classroom through Federal funding for 
education, whether it be through different block grants and things such 
as impact aid. I know the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Porter) has been 
very diligent in that.
  Mr. Speaker, there is one particular portion of the bill, however, 
that I want to make sure that I mention. A part of this bill each year 
involves Federal family planning funds under title 10 as it is called. 
In the Federal Family Planning Program of title 10, within the bill, is 
a measure which was adopted in the Committee on Appropriations in 
consultation, of course, with the authorizing committee involved to 
make a major reform in that particular program.
  Mr. Chairman, 1\1/2\ million teenagers each year receive services 
under the title 10 Family Planning Program. Some of it is treatment for 
sexually transmitted diseases. Some of it is providing contraceptives 
and counseling to young people.
  Since this program has been in place since 1971, however, which 
provides a mechanism for Federal dollars to provide contraceptives to 
teenagers with neither the knowledge nor consent of their parents, 
since that time, Mr. Speaker, the out-of-wedlock pregnancy rate among 
teenagers in America has doubled.
  We hear a lot of talk about family involvement in major issues of our 
times, and certainly the rate of teenage pregnancy is one of those.
  The measure adopted by the Committee on Appropriations has been 
desired by a great many American families for a great number of years. 
It says, in most simple terms, that an unemancipated minor, a teenager 
who is still dependent upon their parents, should not be provided 
contraceptives at Federal taxpayers' expense unless their parents are 
notified.
  This does not apply to any particular other types of services. This 
does not, for example, say that parents have to be notified if it is 
some sort of emergency medical care. But if taxpayers' money is to be 
used to pay for future sexual activity by a teenager, this simply says 
that the parent ought to be notified.
  As the parent of teenagers myself, Mr. Speaker, I know that they 
cannot receive pierced ears without parents being notified. They cannot 
go on field trips or get aspirins at school without parents being 
notified.
  Yet Federal taxpayers' dollars are used to provide contraceptives to 
teenagers and the parents are never told. If my child were picked up 
for using drugs or using alcohol, I would expect to be notified.
  The real tragedy is that there is not even notification for children 
who are below the age of consent. We have laws on the books in this 
State on statutory rape, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, 
taking indecent liberties with a minor, and so forth, and the title 10 
clinics ignore those laws. They neither report violations of them to 
the parents nor to law enforcement authorities.
  This bill has reforms in it that says they will provide notification 
in both of those instances. It is a very important measure to try to 
get parents involved in monitoring and helping with the life and the 
problems and the circumstances of their youth.
  This measure needs to be preserved in this bill. We will have debate 
on measures to take it out. It is important that we keep it in.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge adoption of the rule.
  Ms. SLAUGHTER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from 
Massachusetts (Mr. Kennedy).
  Mr. KENNEDY of Massachusetts. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong 
opposition to this rule, and I do so because I recognize that, while 
there is a political purpose being served by the use of the marshal law 
tactic to go in and select out one particular provision of the Labor-
HHS bill and to use this chamber to then debate just that particular 
provision for the next few hours, what we are doing, and for political 
purposes because the Republicans feel they can win on that issue, but 
what they do not talk about are the other provisions that are hidden in 
this bill, provisions like eliminating the Federal Fuel Assistance 
Program, eliminating the program to provide summer youth jobs to 
hundreds of thousands of children all across our country who in the 
middle of summer need to go to work.
  What we are not seeing is a debate about whether or not we believe as 
a Congress, whether the Republicans agree in the Congress, that what we 
ought to do is go out and cut the Federal Fuel Assistance Program, cut 
a program that millions of Americans count on and will count on this 
winter to make sure that they stay warm.
  We are in a situation where we read in the newspaper about how well 
America is doing and how much money the wealthy in our country have 
made and how the unemployment rate is down and the inflation rate is 
down and the stock market up, until the last month or so used to be up.
  But what we do not read about are the millions and millions of very 
poor people. We do not read about the hundreds of thousands of senior 
citizens that every winter hang blankets across parts of their houses 
because they simply cannot afford to keep those houses warm, that have 
to choose between having a hot meal or staying warm in their beds at 
night.
  How many times do we have to have our elderly people suffer because 
they do not get enough money in Social Security? Then we turn around in 
this bill and cut a billion dollars out of the

[[Page H10131]]

money, the Federal tax monies to go into this program.
  My colleagues say, well, we do not have the billion dollars. I will 
tell them something. The money is in this bill. There is plenty of 
money in this bill to pay for fuel assistance. The fuel assistance 
program was paid for years ago.
  Mr. DREIER. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. SLAUGHTER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from 
California (Ms. Woolsey).
  (Ms. WOOLSEY asked and was given permission to revise and extend her 
remarks.)
  Ms. WOOLSEY. Mr. Speaker, this Labor-HHS appropriations bill makes me 
believe that some of my colleagues in the majority party would benefit 
from spending time back in the classroom. The numbers in this 
appropriations bill simply do not add up.
  From Head Start through higher education and into the workplace, this 
bill shortchanges the vast majority of Americans.
  I am most concerned about the damage done to American school children 
in this bill. The funds for education do not make the grade. Those of 
us who have done our homework know that overcrowded classrooms are one 
of the biggest obstacles to improving education for our children.
  What parents and teachers already know is that smaller class size 
makes for better learning experiences and results in better grades. In 
fact, even the very Republican governor of my home State of California 
has made smaller classes a priority in our State.
  But it costs money, Mr. Speaker. It costs money to reduce class size, 
because smaller classes mean more training and more teachers that need 
to be hired. Smaller classes mean building more classrooms.
  This bill does nothing to help schools reduce class size. It cheats 
our students out of funds they need to get a good education. It 
deserves to fail.
  This bill particularly fails teenagers. This Republican effort, Mr. 
Speaker, is designed to give the right wing ``score card'' information 
before the November 3 election and, in doing so, force young women to 
risk unwanted pregnancy and sexually transmitted disease.
  Mr. DREIER. Mr. Speaker, I am happy to yield 1 minute to my very good 
friend, the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Manzullo).
  Mr. MANZULLO. Mr. Speaker, I rise in favor of the rule. It is 
important we pass this rule because we will have on the floor a very 
interesting story of a 37-year-old schoolteacher who repeatedly 
statutorily raped his 13-year-old student, brought her to a title 10 
clinic, which gave her birth control devices, a shot of Depo-Provera in 
the arm which led to very serious medical consequences on her part.

                              {time}  1715

  This will be an opportunity for Members of Congress to keep language 
that allows parents the right to be notified whenever their little 
girls are being given contraceptive devices.
  The language that we will be asking people to support is the Istook-
Barcia-Manzullo language, which is a perfecting amendment to the 
Castle-Greenwood amendment that will be offered on the floor.
  Ms. SLAUGHTER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from 
California (Ms. Pelosi).
  Ms. PELOSI. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman for yielding me this 
time and for her leadership. I rise in opposition to the rule on the 
Labor-HHS-Education appropriations bill.
  This is a bill that should attend to the urgent human needs and lay 
the building blocks for our children's and our Nation's future. But 
this Republican-designed bill fails on both counts.
  The rule proposed today is an example of the misplaced priorities of 
the Republican leadership. In an effort again to appease their radical 
right wing, the Republican leadership is proposing a rule that caters 
to those who would undermine family planning and ignores all of the 
critical priorities contained in this bill.
  Mr. Speaker, when on earth will we be awakened to what should be our 
priorities in this legislation and in this Congress? When we get a 
report that over 1 in 5 children in America lives in poverty, when we 
know that tens of millions of individuals cannot afford health 
insurance, when we see that class sizes are too large and children are 
struggling to learn in schools that are in need of repair, workers 
deserve adequate safeguards to protect them from needless injury, and 
what are we talking about once again on this floor? Stopping funding 
for family planning.
  It should be the mission of this House to attend to the urgent needs 
of the American people and to answer the call to address inequities in 
education, health care and worker safety. And it is through the Labor-
HHS bill that we can do this to share the benefits of prosperity with 
those in need.
  This bill abandons our children by slashing the administration's 
education initiatives, including education for the disadvantaged, Head 
Start, and Safe and Drug-Free Schools. It abandons workers by cutting 
OSHA workplace safety enforcement and mine safety. It deserts young 
people by eliminating or severely cutting the Summer Jobs Program and 
Out of School Youth Opportunities. It disregards the needs of the poor 
by eliminating or slashing home energy assistance, LIHEAP.
  Mr. Speaker, this rule and this bill is bad policy and fails to 
attend to today's priorities. I urge my colleagues to vote ``no.''
  Mr. DREIER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from 
Wilmington, Delaware (Mr. Castle), my very good friend.
  Mr. CASTLE. Mr. Speaker, I thank the distinguished gentleman from 
California for yielding because he knows I am in opposition to this 
rule, and I am very, very strongly in opposition to it. Let me explain 
why I am opposed.
  This has been a very controversial piece of legislation. Labor-HHS 
has had a lot of different aspects to it, all the way from LIHEAP to 
summer jobs, and a lot of people have questioned and have wanted to 
change it one way or another. Probably the most controversial of these 
items is what we are debating right here which is the amendments with 
regard to parental notification with respect to contraceptive drugs or 
devices.
  As I understand it, and somebody correct me if I am wrong, 
essentially we are debating this rule and we are going to debate this 
bill, and then we are going to consider these two amendments, and we 
are not going to consider the rest of this bill, which is going to end 
up in the omnibus bill anyhow, so we are essentially down to setting up 
a mechanism by which we are going to vote on two very difficult 
amendments, and I happen to be a cosponsor of one of them, with a 
strong belief that it is the right way to go.
  This is a heck of a way to legislate. This is a piece of legislation 
which has waited until little over 24 hours away the time that we are 
supposed to leave here and that probably would have taken 3 or 4 days 
on the floor if it had been done correctly, and here we are with a very 
truncated rule process in order to move forward on it. My judgment is 
it has little to do with being prochoice or prolife or anything of 
those things, it is a process question that we have here.
  I hope that everybody in this Congress will step forward and oppose 
this rule. This simply is not a good way to do business. It is what 
happens at the end of sessions such as this, and this is a shining 
example of the wrong way to proceed.
  So I would encourage each and every one of us, when the time comes 
for this vote, to come over here and to vote ``no'' on this rule, end 
this bill, and let happen what is going to happen, and that is it will 
be rolled into the omnibus bill and the appropriations which have to be 
done, hopefully will be done, that way.
  Ms. SLAUGHTER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from 
Texas (Ms. Jackson-Lee).
  (Ms. JACKSON-LEE of Texas asked and was given permission to revise 
and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. JACKSON-LEE of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman from 
New York for yielding me this time.
  This is always a very difficult decision or decisions, plural, 
because this bill deals with Americans who are in pain. It deals with 
senior citizens, it deals with the mentally disabled, it deals with 
teenagers who are sexually abused by a parent or loved one and who are 
looking for relief if out of that sexual abuse comes an impregnation.

[[Page H10132]]

  Yet now we come to the floor with the most acrimonious and 
destructive rule that I could imagine in these last waning hours of 
this Congress.
  Today I engaged in a very painful debate, because it was my job. I 
came back from that debate and voted to adjourn this House, something 
that I rarely do. And I did so because my constituents in Texas, some 
32 of them died this summer in the most intense heat we had ever been 
impacted by or felt.
  This rule would eliminate the dollars used to help air-condition or 
heat the homes of poor senior citizens, those of my constituents in 
Texas who would have died if not for that money. This devastates the 
LIHEAP monies for senior citizens and the infirm.
  This as well devastates the kind of work we have done to keep 
teenagers off the streets in the hot summer and takes summer jobs money 
away from hardworking, deserving teenagers who use that money to 
supplement their family's income, and then it takes Goals 2000, a 
program that goes into rural and inner-city schools and slashes it 50 
percent, schools that depend upon these matching dollars to lift their 
scores and give incentives to their children that come many times from 
broken homes.
  This is an abuse of power. This is an offensive rule, and it should 
be defeated.
  Ms. SLAUGHTER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from 
Texas (Mr. Green).
  (Mr. GREEN asked and was given permission to revise and extend his 
remarks.)
  Mr. GREEN. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman from New York for 
allowing me to rise in opposition to this bill and the rule.
  This appropriations bill grossly underfunds our national priority of 
providing the best public education for each and every child. There is 
not enough time left in this 105th Congress to talk about how bad this 
bill is. Let me just try to hit some of the highlights.
  Goals 2000, an education program that started with President Bush and 
continued under this President, is cut 50 percent from last year's 
funding level. The School-to-Work program is cut by $250 million. The 
America Reads program is eliminated. In addition to these extremist 
cuts, my Republican colleagues want to deny initial funding to many 
other important education programs.
  Funds for Title I grants are frozen, cutting the administration's 
request by $437 million, denying over a half a million students in high 
poverty communities the extra help they need to master the basic 
courses. Funding for College Work Study is cut by $50 million below the 
administration's request, denying 57,000 needy students college work 
study awards. Head Start is cut by $160 million below the 
administration's request, denying slots to 25,000 low-income children.
  Mr. Speaker, we have worked hard in Houston to ensure that we have 
the best Head Start program possible. We have three new providers now, 
and by collaborating with our public schools, we can truly give our 
children a real head start on life, but we cannot by short-circuiting 
and not providing the funding. We have made great strides, but 
additional funds are needed to meet the overwhelming need in the Head 
Start program.
  The Republican approach to education is a wrong approach, and I think 
it is an approach that the American people do not want. That is why I 
urge my colleagues to vote down this shortsighted bill.
  Ms. SLAUGHTER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from 
New York (Mrs. Lowey).
  (Mrs. LOWEY asked and was given permission to revise and extend her 
remarks.)
  Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman for yielding me this 
time.
  Mr. Speaker, last year I was proud to stand on the House floor and 
work hard with our distinguished chairman and good friend, the 
gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Porter), to pass a bipartisan Labor-HHS-
Education spending bill. I frankly am sad and disgusted that today we 
are called here at the last minute to debate a phoney rule on the same 
bill designed by the Republican leadership simply as a pre-election 
gift to their right wing.
  This rule is a sham designed for one purpose and one purpose only: to 
give opponents of family planning a procedural advantage in a vote on 
their provision which was defeated on the House floor 2 years in a row.
  It is my understanding that after the gentleman from Oklahoma (Mr. 
Istook) gets his antifamily planning vote, we will simply rise and 
discontinue debate on this important bill with its key education and 
health care programs.
  I strongly urge my colleagues to vote down this bogus rule. Because 
the Republican leadership could not get an agreement to bring up the 
bill under a fair rule, the bill did not come up. Week after week went 
by and still no Labor-HHS appropriations bill. Now, 1 day before target 
adjournment, the bill is brought up suddenly and under a fake rule that 
is not about policy, but about election year politics.
  If the rule does pass, then I urge my colleagues to support the 
Greenwood-Castle substitute and oppose the Istook second degree 
amendment.
  The Istook second degree contains the same language restricting 
teenagers' access to Title X family planning services which was 
defeated on the House floor just last year. This parental consent 
restriction will deny vulnerable teens the contraceptive services they 
need to avoid pregnancy, HIV and STDs.
  Last year's attack on the Title X program failed because a majority 
of Members understood that denying teens access to family planning does 
not promote abstinence. I only wish it were that simple. Instead, 
Members understand that the Istook language will increase STDs and HIV 
infections, unintended pregnancies and abortions.
  I urge my colleagues to support the Greenwood-Castle substitute, it 
takes the responsible, sensible route, and defeat this sham rule.
  Mr. DREIER. Mr. Speaker, may I inquire of the Chair how much time is 
remaining on both sides?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from California (Mr. Dreier) 
has 17\1/2\ minutes remaining; the gentlewoman from New York (Ms. 
Slaughter) has 30 seconds remaining.
  Ms. SLAUGHTER. Mr. Speaker, we have no further requests for time, and 
I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. DREIER. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  I would urge my colleagues to vote in favor of this rule. We have 
already voted on the rule itself. This is a minor modification that was 
made to consider those two amendments numbered 2 and 3. There are a 
number of Members on our side who hope very much to have a debate on 
that question. We will be proceeding with funding in a wide range of 
other areas, and so I hope that we can proceed with this as quickly as 
possible and get to this appropriations work.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time, and I move the 
previous question on the resolution.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on ordering the previous 
question.
  The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that 
the ayes appeared to have it.
  Ms. SLAUGHTER. Mr. Speaker, I object to the vote on the ground that a 
quorum is not present and make the point of order that a quorum is not 
present.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Evidently a quorum is not present.
  The Sergeant at Arms will notify absent Members.
  Pursuant to clause 5 of rule XV, the Chair 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 question of agreeing to the 
resolution.
  The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 224, 
nays 201, not voting 9, as follows:

                             [Roll No. 500]
