  Messrs. NORWOOD, KANJORSKI, TERRY, REYNOLDS, GARY G. MILLER of 
California, SHERMAN, BISHOP of Georgia, Mrs. TAUSCHER, Mr. NEAL of 
Massachusetts and Mr. CAPUANO changed their vote from ``yea'' to 
``nay.''
  Mrs. NAPOLITANO, Ms. ESHOO, Messrs. BOREN, DICKS, KUCINICH, DAVIS of 
Tennessee and DUNCAN changed their vote from ``nay'' to ``yea.''
  So the amendment was rejected.
  The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
  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.


               Motion to Recommit Offered by Mr. Conyers

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

       Mr. Conyers moves to recommit the bill H.R. 4411 to the 
     Committee on the Judiciary with instructions to report the 
     same back to the House forthwith with the following 
     amendment:
       Insert at the end of the bill:

     SEC. __. RULE TO PROTECT AGAINST UNDER-AGE GAMBLING.

       Notwithstanding any provision of this Act, it shall be a 
     violation of section 1084 of title 18 United States Code to 
     knowingly use a communication facility to accept any bet or 
     wager as defined in paragraph 6 as added by section 101(3) of 
     this Act, unless the Attorney General has certified that the 
     person accepting the bet or wager eil1ploys a secure and 
     effective customer identity verification system to assure 
     compliance with applicable age and residency requirements.

  Mr. CONYERS (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 Michigan?
  There was no objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Michigan is recognized 
for 5 minutes.
  Mr. CONYERS. Mr. Speaker, the motion I offer today is a simple and 
straightforward one. It makes sure that underage kids cannot gamble on 
the Internet, whether it is connection to interstate or intrastate 
betting. This is something that I hope that all Members can agree on on 
a bipartisan basis for, to me, protecting children from being taken 
advantage of on the Internet is one of the most important things we can 
do as Members of the Congress.
  They should not be taken advantage of whether it is with regard to 
gambling, pornography or any other respect. Children should be off 
limits to predators of any form on the Internet.
  The problem is, as currently drafted, the bill has a loophole. 
Intrastate bets have protections in general, but interstate bets are 
excluded. My concerns are not hypothetical.
  Two months ago, the Baltimore Sun ran an article where the horse 
racing industry admitted that they hoped to prosper by reaching out to 
underage children. I have made this article a part of the Record, and I 
hope that you will examine it.

                              {time}  1445

  To me, that is not right, and we ought to make sure that this 
legislation, which is purportedly designed to limit Internet gambling, 
does not actually encourage it, especially for children.
  Now, I would expect that the other side may argue, for example, that 
my amendment will gut the bill. But that is not true. The amendment 
merely serves to protect against underage gambling over the Internet. 
Some might also argue that there are already protections in the bill 
for underage gambling. But those requirements apply only intrastate. 
They left out the more important interstate requirements.
  Finally, some may argue that the amendment is a poison bill that will 
kill the bill because it is opposed by powerful interests, or powerful 
legislators. To that I say that if protecting children from gambling is 
a poison pill, than maybe this bill deserves to die.
  The last thing we should be doing as Members of Congress in the 109th 
session is putting children at risk on the Internet. My motion would 
eliminate the loophole in the bill for interstate bets by children.
  I ask my colleagues to join me on both sides of the aisle in 
supporting this commonsense motion to recommit.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. SENSENBRENNER. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to the motion to 
recommit.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes.
  Mr. SENSENBRENNER. Mr. Speaker, this motion to recommit was dropped 
on us just a few minutes ago, and we have had a very hasty analysis. 
And it really is the Trojan horse. If this Trojan horse is allowed to 
come into the bill by amendment, there are going to be three things 
that will happen.
  First of all, it would require the States, every State that has 
gambling in any form, to go to the Federal Attorney General to regulate 
gambling within the State's own borders. And this really is a poison 
bill, because it would mean that the States' support of this bill would 
disappear. Forty-nine out of the 50 State attorneys general support 
this bill, and they are gone if this motion to recommit is passed.
  The gentleman from Michigan says that we ought to protect kids. We do 
protect kids in this bill. And the language that is contained in his 
motion to recommit is unnecessary because section 1084(c) of the bill 
does provide age and location requirements. That is ample protection, 
and it is enforceable protection.
  Finally, the motion to recommit is confusing because it requires 
residency requirements. Now, the bill has location requirements on 
where the Internet site is. It does not get to the residency 
requirements of the people who are using the Internet. So there is an 
entirely different definition, an entirely different thing that will be 
almost impossible to verify.

[[Page H5007]]

  I now yield to the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Goodlatte).
  Mr. GOODLATTE. I thank the chairman for yielding me this time and for 
his very patient leadership in getting this legislation to this place.
  There are many others to thank on both sides of the aisle: 
Congressman Rick Boucher, Congresswoman Darlene Hooley, who helped get 
this legislation out of both the Judiciary Committee and the Financial 
Services Committee.
  Congressman Meehan, Congresswoman Wasserman Schultz, Congressman 
Cardoza, Congressman McIntyre, Congressman Van Hollen have all helped 
in great ways on the Democratic side, and many, many more.
  I am especially deeply indebted to Congressman Jim Leach. Congressman 
Leach has worked on this legislation since the 1990s, as I have. And we 
have finally managed to bring one bill forward, merging the product of 
both the Judiciary and the Financial Services Committees, that is the 
best bill to deal with this scourge of Internet gambling that we have 
ever confronted.
  Members, this is the opportunity to expunge, expunge a smear on this 
House done by many lobbyists led by one Jack Abramoff, who misled this 
Congress and many Members about this legislation a long time ago.
  The Washington Post, the Atlanta Constitution Journal, many of our 
publications have exposed that. Now is the time to set the record 
straight and pass this legislation.
  This motion to recommit is not necessary. Our bill already imposes 
age and location requirements on bets and wagers and requires that the 
activity be wholly within the authorizing State.
  And it is confusing as to which attorney general must approve this. 
It reduces the authority of the States to create their own laws on 
gambling within their borders, conflicts with the bill because the 
Department of Justice asks for two requirements, and this amendment 
changes that.
  Ladies and gentlemen, we have worked out the final solution to this 
issue. We have done what is necessary to modernize the 45-year-old Wire 
Act, to make it possible for the Treasury Department and other 
authorities to work with law enforcement to keep the billions from 
flowing out of this country, over $6 billion a year going to 
unregulated, untaxed, illegal sites outside of the United States.
  But most importantly, most importantly of all, as my friend and 
colleague Jim Leach said, this is about America's families. This vote 
is to help families like the one in my district whose son committed 
suicide.
  This vote is for the young student in Congressman Dent's district 
who, when he ran up thousands of dollars in Internet gambling debts, 
robbed a bank to pay for this.
  Unlike State-regulated gambling, and I am opposed to all forms of 
gambling, but unlike State-regulated gambling, there are no strictures 
at all in what these fly-by-night offshore entities do.
  Support this legislation. Oppose the motion to recommit and send this 
great measure across the Capitol for the other body to consider.
  Mr. SENSENBRENNER. Mr. Speaker, for all of these reasons, I urge the 
membership to vote ``no'' on the motion to recommit.
  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. CONYERS. 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 167, 
noes 243, not voting 22, as follows:
