  Messrs. NUSSLE, OTTER, TIBERI, CUNNINGHAM, MORAN of Kansas, GARY G. 
MILLER of California, WATKINS of Oklahoma, COX and RUSH and Mrs. 
NORTHUP changed their vote from ``yea'' to ``nay.''
  Mr. GONZALEZ changed his vote from ``nay'' to ``yea.''
  So the amendment in the nature of a substitute was rejected.
  The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
  Stated for:
  Mr. SHOWS. Mr. Speaker, I was away from the House floor on official 
business on Thursday, May 16, 2002, and was unable to cast a recorded 
vote on rollcall 168, the Cardin substitute to H.R. 4737. Had I been 
present, I would have voted ``yea.''
  Ms. MILLENDER-McDONALD. Mr. Speaker, I ask that the Record reflect 
that on rollcall 168, had I been here, I would have voted ``yea.'' I 
was detained by my constituents, and therefore, I was unable to get to 
the floor in time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Simpson). The question is on the 
engrossment and third reading of the bill.
  The bill was ordered to be engrossed and read the third time, and was 
read the third time.


        Motion to Recommit Offered by Mr. Maloney of Connecticut

  Mr. MALONEY of Connecticut. Mr. Speaker, I offer a motion to 
recommit.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is the gentleman opposed to the bill?
  Mr. MALONEY of Connecticut. I am opposed, in its present form.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to 
recommit.
  The Clerk read as follows:

       Mr. Maloney of Connecticut moves to recommit the bill (H.R. 
     4737) to the Committee on Ways and Means, with instructions 
     to report the bill back to the House promptly, with the 
     following amendment:
       Strike section 208 of the bill and insert the following:
       

     SEC. 208. ENTITLEMENT FUNDING.

       Section 418(a)(3) (42 U.S.C. 618(a)(3)) is amended--
       (1) by striking ``and'' at the end of subparagraph (E);
       (2) by striking the period at the end of subparagraph (F) 
     and inserting a semicolon; and
       (3) by adding at the end the following:
       ``(G) $3,967,000,000 for fiscal year 2003;
       ``(H) $4,467,000,000 for fiscal year 2004;
       ``(I) $4,967,000,000 for fiscal year 2005;
       ``(J) $5,467,000,000 for fiscal year 2006; and
       ``(K) $5,967,000,000 for fiscal year 2007.''.

  Mr. MALONEY of Connecticut (during the reading). Mr. Speaker, I ask 
unanimous consent that the motion be considered as read and printed in 
the Record.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Connecticut?
  There was no objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from 
Connecticut is recognized for 5 minutes in support of his motion.
  Mr. MALONEY of Connecticut. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to H.R. 
4737 in its current form. The bill the proponents have brought to the 
floor today is totally inadequate in regard to family child care.
  H.R. 4737 puts families in an entirely untenable position between 
their desire and need to work, on the one hand, and their need for 
quality child care during their working hours on the other hand. In 
addition, the bill places very costly unfunded mandates on the States.
  Currently there are 15 million children in America who are eligible 
for child care assistance but lack coverage because States do not have 
the financial resources. Many States are facing budget deficits arising 
from the recession of 2001-2002.
  In my home State of Connecticut, for example, the government is 
already experiencing a deficit in excess of $500 million, and, 
accordingly, child care assistance for low-income families who have 
been off welfare for 2 years or more has already been frozen. Even 
worse, as of June 1, Connecticut will no longer be able to provide 
child care assistance to families just leaving welfare. Regardless of 
income, they will not receive any child care assistance at all.
  The unfunded mandates created in this bill add to the States' child 
care burden without providing the resources required to meet this 
critical need. Indeed, the child care funding in H.R.

[[Page H2593]]

4737 is barely enough to keep up with inflation, never mind provide for 
the roughly 35 percent increase in work hours called for in this bill.
  CBO estimates that the unfunded mandates in this bill will require 
States to spend an additional $11 billion over the next 5 years. Of 
that, $3.8 billion is mandated for child care, four times more than the 
proponents are willing to provide. Connecticut's share will be $66.5 
million over 5 years, substantially adding to Connecticut's deficit.
  The bill's proponents say that they support child care, but their 
rhetoric is meaningless when they do not provide the necessary 
resources.

                              {time}  1545

  Without providing more money for child care, this bill will actually 
keep families and States from meeting the new child welfare 
requirements and, most regrettably, keep families from getting off and 
staying off welfare, defeating the very purpose of this legislation.
  I supported the original passage of welfare reform in 1996. Work 
requirements are not the issue. The issue is more work requires more 
child care. Yet what the proponents ask is more work without child care 
when every working family knows they need child care if they are going 
to work. My motion to commit would help more working families afford 
quality child care.
  I support strengthening work requirements, but we must provide 
families with appropriate child care resources to allow parents to 
increase their time at work without leaving a child at home alone. I 
urge my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on this motion to recommit so that 
the bill can be returned to us containing the child care funding our 
families and our States so clearly need.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield the remaining time to the gentlewoman from 
California (Ms. Solis).
  Ms. SOLIS. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding me this 
time.
  Mr. Speaker, we need to send this bill back and report a new one out 
that really meets the child care needs of families struggling to escape 
poverty. The Republican bill ignores the fact that only one in seven of 
the children in this country who need child care are actually getting 
it. Their proposal sorely underfunds child care at a time when States 
are faced with huge deficits and waiting lists go on. In fact, I have a 
list here that says in my own State of California, 280,000 children are 
now awaiting child care services, and the list continues to grow daily. 
States are crying out for support and for help in this matter.
  How can my friends on the other side of the aisle turn their backs on 
these children and these families? I urge them to recognize the child 
care needs of working families and increase child care funding by $11 
billion over a 5-year period by voting for this motion to recommit. 
Voting for this motion will serve an additional 2 million children by 
the year 2007.
  Let us be clear. Let us be clear. Caring for children is not a 
partisan issue. It does not matter if one has an R or a D behind their 
name. It is about the kids. It is about the future of our economy and 
getting these working mothers back on their feet. These mothers want to 
work. Let us help them get there.
  In conclusion, I would just state that I would hope that my friends 
on the other side of the aisle would understand that the women that I 
see on welfare now want to have that dignity and respect. Will my 
Republican colleagues not allow them to have the courtesy to have 
funding so that when they do choose to spend 40 hours or 35 hours at a 
work site, that they do not have to leave those children with someone 
or somewhere that is not a qualified child care center?
  Mr. Speaker, I think our children and our families deserve a break 
and I think now is the time to do it. In fact, many of our Governors 
across this country support the notion of providing more funding for 
child care.
  Mr. THOMAS. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to the motion to 
recommit.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Simpson). The gentleman from California 
(Mr. Thomas) is recognized for 5 minutes.
  Mr. THOMAS. Mr. Speaker, I will tell my colleagues I will not take 5 
minutes.
  We have heard a lot of numbers thrown around. Let me provide my 
colleagues an accurate picture of exactly what is going on.
  As of September of last year, granted it was September of 2001, there 
was $7.4 billion of TANF money under my committee's jurisdiction that 
had not been spent. In this legislation we said, you can use whatever 
is left for child care. As a matter of fact, if you examine this 
legislation and you utilize TANF money and if the comments of the 
gentleman from Connecticut and the gentlewoman from California are 
accurate and the States wish to use the TANF money for child care, they 
have available $170 billion for child care if they choose to make that 
decision.
  Now, what my colleagues are saying is that they want to put $11 
billion additionally in the bill. What my colleagues need to know is 
that there is $24 billion in this bill already. What we have advocated 
is taking it to $27.4 billion. They are advocating taking it to $35 
billion.
  The difference between our position and their position? Ours is paid 
for and theirs is not. If my colleagues want to fund a program that is 
not paid for, vote for their motion to recommit. If my colleagues want 
to have a responsible and appropriate program that is paid for, vote 
``no'' on the motion to recommit and vote for the passage of the bill.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the previous question is 
ordered on the motion to recommit.
  There was no objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion to recommit.
  The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that 
the noes appeared to have it.


                             Recorded Vote

  Mr. MALONEY of Connecticut. Mr. Speaker, I demand a recorded vote.
  A recorded vote was ordered.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XX, the Chair 
will reduce to 5 minutes the minimum time for any electronic vote on 
the question of passage.
  The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 207, 
noes 219, not voting 9, as follows:
