  Messrs. DINGELL, CALVERT, AL GREEN of Texas, MCNERNEY, SIMPSON, 
KNOLLENBERG, COSTELLO,

[[Page H2263]]

WOLF, COHEN, REHBERG, TIAHRT and FRELINGHUYSEN changed their vote from 
``aye'' to ``no.''
  Mr. GOODE changed his vote from ``no'' to ``aye.''
  So the amendment was rejected.
  The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
  The Acting CHAIRMAN. There being no further amendments, the question 
is on the committee amendment in the nature of a substitute, as 
amended.
  The committee amendment in the nature of a substitute, as amended, 
was agreed to.
  The Acting CHAIRMAN. Under the rule, the Committee rises.
  Accordingly, the Committee rose; and the Speaker pro tempore (Mr. 
Kind) having assumed the chair, Mr. Hastings, Acting 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. 569) to 
amend the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to authorize 
appropriations for sewer overflow control grants, pursuant to House 
Resolution 214, he reported the bill back to the House with an 
amendment adopted in the Committee of the Whole.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under the rule, the previous question is 
ordered.
  Is a separate vote demanded on the amendment to the amendment in the 
nature of a substitute reported from the Committee of the Whole? If 
not, the question is on the amendment in the nature of a substitute.
  The amendment in the nature of a substitute was 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.


               Motion to Recommit Offered by Mr. McHenry

  Mr. McHENRY. Mr. Speaker, I have a motion to recommit at the desk.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is the gentleman opposed to the bill?
  Mr. McHENRY. In the current form, I am.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to 
recommit.
  The Clerk read as follows:
       Mr. McHenry moves to recommit the bill H.R. 569 to the 
     Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure with 
     instructions to report back the same forthwith with the 
     following amendment:
       At the end of the bill, add the following (and conform the 
     table of contents accordingly):

     SEC. 3. LIMITATION ON THE USE OF FUNDS.

       None of the funds authorized by this Act, including the 
     amendments made by this Act, may be used--
       (1) to lobby or retain a lobbyist for the purpose of 
     influencing a Federal, State, or local governmental entity or 
     officer; or
       (2) to pay for expenses related to the membership of any 
     individual or entity in an organization or association.

                              {time}  1640

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from North Carolina is 
recognized for 5 minutes.
  Mr. McHENRY. Mr. Speaker, this motion to recommit would reinforce 
existing Federal law by making it clear that none of the funds 
authorized in this act would be used for lobbying or to retain 
lobbyists in order to attempt to influence Federal, State or local 
governments or officials within said governments.
  This motion to recommit is an insurance policy that guarantees this 
bill won't be a kickback to K Street. This majority was elected on 
ending the K Street Project. In House Resolution 6, section 202, they 
changed rule XXIII to ensure that the K Street Project is ended.
  If those words on opening day are to become a reality, I encourage 
the majority to support this motion to recommit that ensures that a K 
Street-type project would not be further propagated in this 
legislation.
  There is a simple principle here; put plainly, I am asking the 
Members of the House to follow their own rules set up on opening day. 
From time to time, it is important to challenge Congress's words by 
calling them to action. And if this new majority is to live by the 
words they set up by opening day, then they should support this motion 
to recommit.
  I would like to yield to my colleague from Georgia, Congressman 
Price.
  Mr. PRICE of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for 
yielding, and I thank him for his simple motion to recommit.
  This really is a simple motion to recommit. What it says is that the 
money that is authorized and appropriated should go for its intended 
purposes. It would expand upon existing law by specifically prohibiting 
Federal funds from being used to pay for membership in any association 
or organization. It is important to make clear that the funds should 
only be used for the purposes intended by Congress, mainly the 
construction of facilities and infrastructure to treat combined sewer 
overflows.
  Now, while associations and organizations can sometimes provide very 
meaningful opportunities for collaboration and knowledge dissemination, 
it would not be appropriate to use scarce, hard-earned Federal taxpayer 
dollars to pay for membership in such associations.
  Mr. Speaker, I don't know if my colleagues are aware of this, but 
some of these dues in these associations and organizations run up to 
$48,000 to $50,000 a year. Certainly, hard-earned taxpayer money should 
not go for that purpose. So, in the spirit of responsible spending and 
to decrease the abuse of hard-earned taxpayer dollars, I urge the 
adoption of this motion to recommit.
  Mr. McHENRY. Reclaiming my time, I would like to in particular talk 
to my 13 colleagues on the Democrat side, Mr. Speaker, and they realize 
that a motion to recommit is not a procedural motion; it is actually 
policy. And when those 13 Democrats voted for the recommit on the card 
check legislation, they said clearly they understand the underlying 
policy in a motion to recommit.
  We are talking policy here today, Mr. Speaker. In this House, if the 
Democrat majority was truly elected and is committed to severing the 
link between legislation and lobbyists, they will vote for this motion 
to recommit. This motion to recommit is a gut check for Congress, 
especially the new Members of this body who have not been here before 
this last election cycle. It is gut check time for them, for them to 
explain to their constituents that they like the idea of limiting 
lobbyists' influence, and whether or not they are willing to fulfill 
that vote here on the House floor today.
  This truly is an insurance policy that guarantees this bill won't 
simply be a kickback to K Street by this new majority.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. OBERSTAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise to speak on the motion to recommit.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is the gentleman opposed to the motion?
  Mr. OBERSTAR. No. I seek to speak on the motion.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Minnesota is recognized 
for 5 minutes.
  Mr. OBERSTAR. Mr. Speaker, the operative provision of H.R. 569, 
section 221, provides, ``The administrator may make grants to States 
for the purpose of providing grants to a municipality or municipal 
entity for planning, design and construction of treatment works to 
intercept, transport, control or treat municipal combined sewer 
overflows and sanitary sewer overflows.'' It says nothing about paying 
lobbyists, retaining a lobbyist or influencing Federal, State or local 
government entity or officer. But if the gentleman is concerned that 
somehow money might be diverted in that, we are fully prepared to 
accept the amendment.
  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. McHENRY. Mr. Speaker, I demand a recorded vote.
  A recorded vote was ordered.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 8 and 9 of rule XX, this 
15-minute vote on the motion to recommit will be followed by 5-minute 
votes on the question of passing the bill and on suspending the rules 
and passing H.R. 710.
