             DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2004

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the order of the House of 
Friday, July 25, 2003, and rule XVIII, 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. 2765

                              {time}  2012


                     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. 2765) making appropriations for the government of the 
District of Columbia and other activities chargeable in whole or in 
part against the revenues of said District for the fiscal year ending 
September 30, 2004, and for other purposes, with Mr. Bass in the chair.
  The Clerk read the title of the bill.
  The CHAIRMAN. When the Committee of the Whole rose on Friday, 
September 5, 2003, amendment No. 2 offered by the gentleman from 
Colorado (Mr. Hefley) had been disposed of and the bill was open for 
amendment from page 12, line 23, through page 52, line 12.
  Mr. YOUNG of Florida. Mr. Chairman, I move to strike the last word.
  Mr. Chairman, I take this time to advise the House that this vote 
that we will take soon on the D.C. bill is the end of the 13 regular 
appropriations bills for fiscal year 2004. This does the job.
  We have had some interesting times, Mr. Chairman; but in this 
calendar year starting in February, the Committee on Appropriations 
concluded 11 of last year's bills, two major supplementals, and 13 
regular bills once we have the vote on the D.C. appropriations bill.
  I want to say thank you to all of the Members of the Committee on 
Appropriations on both sides. I want to say thank you to the Members of 
the House that gave us some spirited debate in amendments but also some 
very strong votes.
  Mr. Chairman, we are prepared then to move on to our conferences with 
the other body, which should prove to be very interesting.
  Ms. NORTON. Mr. Chairman, I move to strike the last word.
  Mr. Chairman, this House has a proud bipartisan record of reserving 
scarce Federal funds for public education. We cannot convincingly make 
the District of Columbia an exception to that record.
  The majority of the city council, the majority of the elected members 
of the school board, and as the member who has represented the city for 
13 years, the majority of the residents of the city are just like your 
districts and overwhelmingly oppose vouchers. Hundreds of them, led by 
the clergy of our city ministers and rabbis, came to fan out to tell 
the Congress that just last week.

                              {time}  2015

  If you are willing to vote to give public money to private schools 
this year, you better be prepared to answer back home. Of course you 
can say, well, the District of Columbia is different; you know, the 
schools are so bad. There are school districts exactly like the 
District of Columbia in every State of the Union. Those of you from 
Michigan know about Detroit. If you come from Georgia, you know about 
Atlanta. If you come from Connecticut, you know about Bridgeport. If 
you come from Texas, you know about Houston and Dallas. And I do not 
know all of your rural districts, but I am sure they will match the 
District in test scores and all the rest of the deprivations that lead 
to bad schools.
  So you go home, if you will, and tell them that in the year when the 
unkept promise of special education remains outstanding, while the 
schools in your district are being called shortchanged, that is okay; 
there was one district in the United States that I was willing to give 
private money for public schools.
  So you go home and tell them, well, I am not for it here, because 
that is the hypocrisy I hear time and again, but this is one district 
in the whole United States that I was willing to dig in my Federal 
pocket and draw out some public money for private schools and it will 
never happen again. There is a 5-year appropriation here. You will be 
doing it year after year. And you go home and tell them, when there is 
a backlash now developing against the bipartisan No Child Left Behind, 
that that $9 billion unfunded mandate, that is okay, we are taking care 
of that. Meanwhile, we had some private schools in the District of 
Columbia that we simply had to fund this year.
  This is a voucher-only bill. If you vote for the Davis amendment, you 
are voting for vouchers for our country. If you vote ``yes'' on final, 
you are voting vouchers if the Davis amendment is in the bill. Vote 
``no'' on Davis. Vote ``no'' on final passage. Do not flip-flop on 
vouchers. You will pay the price. We will try to see to it that you do.
  Mr. BOEHNER. Mr. Chairman, I move to strike the last word.
  Mr. Chairman, I would say to my colleagues that I will not use the 5 
minutes, but we need to understand that the Davis proposal that the 
gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Frelinghuysen) and I have cosponsored is 
supported by the Mayor and supported by the President of the school 
board and other members of the city government. It is also 
overwhelmingly supported by the people of D.C.
  But do not take my word for this, because this is really not about 
the politicians and it is really not about us; it is about poor kids in 
poor schools who are being denied an education. We hope, we hope that 
the Mayor and the school board do a great job trying to improve the 
city schools. But while they are out there working, trying to improve 
the city's schools, why should we not take the chance, why should we 
not take the chance of offering 2,000 children a chance to go to a 
better school? Because in the end, that is what this is about, these 
kids. And these kids today are going to have no future if we do not 
stand up and begin to help them.
  So I would ask all of my colleagues today, when you vote, think about 
these children and think about their future. All of their parents want, 
and what these kids want is the same

[[Page H8061]]

things that we want for our children, and if we stand up here today and 
vote ``no,'' I want you to look into their parents' eyes and say, I am 
not going to help you, and your children are not going to have the same 
opportunity as ours. Please vote for Davis.
  Mrs. JONES of Ohio. Mr. Chairman, I move to strike the last word.
  I come from the great city of Cleveland where the voucher program was 
upheld by the Supreme Court, and I look in the eyes of the parents of 
every one of those children everyday and say to them that public 
education is what we ought to be supporting. Let us put some of that 
$87 billion we are getting ready to send to Iraq into public education. 
Let us put some of these dollars that we are setting aside into public 
education. Let us reduce student-teacher ratio. Let us increase the 
opportunity for our children to do well.
  I am not going to take 5 minutes either, but I could not let you 
leave with saying you could not look into eyes of the parents. I look 
in their eyes everyday, and they say, Stephanie, send me more teachers, 
send me more money for our schools, and give our children an 
opportunity.
  The CHAIRMAN. The Clerk will read the last 2 lines of the bill.
  The Clerk read as follows:

       This Act may be cited as the ``District of Columbia 
     Appropriations Act, 2004''.

  The CHAIRMAN. Are there any further amendments to the bill? If not, 
under the order of the House, the Committee rises.
  Accordingly, the Committee rose; and the Speaker pro tempore (Mr. 
Thornberry) having assumed the chair, Mr. Bass, 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. 2765) 
making appropriations for the government of the District of Columbia 
and other activities chargeable in whole or in part against the 
revenues of said District for the fiscal year ending September 30, 
2004, and for other purposes, pursuant to the previous order of the 
House of July 25, he reported the bill back to the House with an 
amendment adopted by the Committee of the Whole.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under the rule, the previous question is 
ordered.
  The question is on the amendment.
  The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that 
the ayes appeared to have it.


                             Recorded Vote

  Ms. NORTON. Mr. Speaker, I demand a recorded vote.
  A recorded vote was ordered.
  The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 209,

                Announcement by the Speaker Pro Tempore

  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Thornberry) (during the vote). Members 
are advised that 2 minutes remain in this vote.


                        parliamentary inquiries

  Mr. HOYER (during the vote). Mr. Speaker, parliamentary inquiry.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Thornberry). The gentleman may state a 
parliamentary inquiry pertaining to the vote.
  Mr. HOYER. Mr. Speaker, under regular order, we were told at the 
beginning of this session that the leadership of the House and the 
message from the Speaker of the House, Dennis Hastert, was that we were 
going to allot 15 minutes for votes with only 2 minutes, and that at 17 
minutes, the voting tally would close, and we were all urged to be on 
time so that the work of the House could be done efficiently and 
effectively.
  Mr. Speaker, my inquiry is, is that regular order still in place? Is 
that still the policy of the leadership of this House?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair would respond to the gentleman 
from Maryland that clause 2 of rule XX states that the minimum time for 
a recorded vote or quorum call by electronic device shall be 15 
minutes.
  Mr. HOYER. Mr. Speaker, further parliamentary inquiry.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman will state his further 
parliamentary inquiry.

[[Page H8062]]

  Mr. HOYER. Mr. Speaker, was that the rule that the distinguished 
Robert Walker of Pennsylvania raised such cane about and was so angry 
about and felt that Jim Wright was so out of order about when he held 
the vote open? Is that the rule, Mr. Speaker?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman did not state a further 
parliamentary inquiry.
  The Chair would further note, from House Practice, chapter 58, 
section 20, that the Chair has the discretion either to close a vote 
and to announce the result at any time after 15 minutes have elapsed or 
may allow additional time for Members to record their votes before 
announcing the result.
  Mr. HOYER. Mr. Speaker, further parliamentary inquiry.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Maryland may state his 
further parliamentary inquiry.
  Mr. HOYER. Mr. Speaker, listening to the Chair's recitation of the 
rule, would that mean that the Chair now has the authority to close 
this vote and express the will of the House of Representatives as 
reflected on the board?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair would again state to the gentleman 
that the Chair has the discretion either to close a vote and announce 
the result at any time after 15 minutes have elapsed or to allow 
additional time for Members to record their votes before announcing the 
result.
  Mr. FRANK of Massachusetts. Mr. Speaker, parliamentary inquiry.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. For what purpose does the gentleman from 
Massachusetts rise?
  Mr. FRANK of Massachusetts. The question is not whether the Chair has 
the discretion but whether or not he has the integrity and courage to 
do so.
  Mr. OBEY. Mr. Speaker, parliamentary inquiry.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Wisconsin may state his 
parliamentary inquiry.
  Mr. OBEY. Mr. Speaker, could I inquire if anyone from the attending 
physician is present? I understand someone's arm is being broken.

                              {time}  2101

  So the amendment was agreed to.
  The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Thornberry). 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 clause 10 of rule XX, the yeas and nays are ordered.
  The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 210, 
nays 206, not voting 18, as follows:

                             [Roll No. 491]
