Announcement by the Acting Chairman
The Acting CHAIRMAN (during the vote). Members are advised there are
30 seconds remaining on this vote.
{time} 1019
So the amendment was rejected.
The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
Stated for:
Mr. LARSON of Connecticut. Madam Speaker, I regret that I did not
vote on rollcall vote No. 475, on June 15, 2007. Had I been present, I
would have voted: ``no'' on rollcall No. 475 on the amendment to H.R.
2638, to cut $125 million from TSA's explosive detection account; and
increase the Customs and Border Protection Salaries and Expenses
account by $125 million.
(By unanimous consent, Mr. Hoyer was allowed to speak out of order.)
Announcement Regarding First Vote in a Series in the House
Mr. HOYER. Mr. Chairman, I would like to make Members aware now, so
you have significant notice, in a full Chamber and very long in
advance, that when the Committee rises, I intend to ask unanimous
consent in the House that even the first vote in a series be a 5-minute
vote, the first vote in a series.
I've not had an opportunity to discuss this. I wanted to give notice,
and I will be discussing it with the leadership. Hopefully, they will
agree. We have a lot of votes. I know Members want to get out of here
today. We have the MILCON bill yet to come.
For example, on a possible motion to recommit, we're going to ask
unanimous consent that that be a 5-minute vote, and there seems to be
some enthusiasm for that. So, talk to all of our colleagues about not
objecting to that unanimous consent.

Announcement by the Acting Chairman
The Acting CHAIRMAN (during the vote). Thirty seconds are remaining
on this vote.
{time} 1119
Mr. TURNER changed his vote from ``aye to ``no.''
Mr. ISSA changed his vote from ``no'' to ``aye.''
So the amendment was rejected.
The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
Stated for:
Mr. KIRK. Mr. Chairman, on rollcall No. 489, I was inadvertently
detained. Had I been present, I would have voted ``aye.''
Amendment Offered by Mr. Price of North Carolina
Mr. PRICE of North Carolina. Mr. Chairman, I offer an amendment.
The Acting CHAIRMAN. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:
Amendment offered by Mr. Price of North Carolina:
[[Page H6498]]
Page 74, after line 18, insert the following new section:
Sec.__.The amount otherwise provided by this Act for
``Firefighter Assistance Grants'' is hereby increased by
$5,058,000, which shall be available to carry out section 34
of the Federal Fire Prevention and Control Act of 1974.
The Acting CHAIRMAN. Pursuant to the order of the House of Thursday,
June 14, the gentleman from North Carolina (Mr. Price) and a Member
opposed each will control 5 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from North Carolina.
Mr. PRICE of North Carolina. Mr. Chairman, I have a simple and
straightforward amendment that I am offering as a result of the long
debate we've had, the many amendments we've adopted, and where we stand
at the end of this.
The amendment would allocate $5 million, a modest adjustment, to
FEMA's Firefighter Assistance Grants, specifically, the Staffing for
Adequate Fire and Emergency Response program, the SAFER program.
As I'm sure most Members know, the SAFER program helps local fire
departments to increase the number of frontline firefighters. The goal
is for fire departments to increase their staffing and deployment
capabilities, and ultimately to obtain 24-hour staffing.
We, in this bill, have done our very best to more adequately fund the
fire grants and the SAFER program. But the need is great, and we
believe this is a prudent and useful and productive place to invest
these additional funds.
Mr. Chairman, this amendment has been cleared on both sides of the
aisle. I ask our colleagues to approve this critical funding for our
firefighters.
Mr. ROGERS of Kentucky. Will the gentleman yield?
Mr. PRICE of North Carolina. I am happy to yield.
Mr. ROGERS of Kentucky. We join you in the amendment.
Mr. PRICE of North Carolina. I thank the gentleman.
Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIRMAN. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentleman from North Carolina (Mr. Price).
The amendment was agreed to.
Amendment Offered by Mr. Obey
Mr. OBEY. Mr. Chairman, I offer an amendment.
The Acting CHAIRMAN. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:
Amendment offered by Mr. Obey:
At the end of the bill, before the short title, add the
following new section:
Sec. 544. None of the funds in this or any other Act may be
used to pay more than one dollar for a legislative earmark as
defined in clause 9 of Rule XXI.
Point of Order
Mr. ROGERS of Kentucky. Mr. Chairman, I make a point of order against
the amendment because it proposes to change existing law. It
constitutes legislation in an appropriations bill, and therefore
violates clause 2 of rule XXI.
I ask for a ruling of the Chair.
The Acting CHAIRMAN. Does any Member wish to be heard on the point of
order? If not, the chair will rule.
As stated on page 135 of House Practice, a limitation must apply
solely to the money of the appropriation under consideration and may
not be applied to money appropriated in other acts. The amendment
offered by the gentleman from Wisconsin explicitly addresses funds in
other acts. The amendment therefore constitutes legislation, and the
point of order is sustained.
The Clerk will read.
The Clerk read as follows:
This Act may be cited as the ``Department of Homeland
Security Appropriations Act, 2008''.
Mrs. CHRISTENSEN. Mr. Chairman, I would like to commend Chairman Obey
and Ranking Member Lewis for their leadership in bringing the
Department of Homeland Security Appropriations bill to the House floor.
I would also like to commend Chairman Thompson and Ranking Member King
for their unyielding efforts to ensure that the Department of Homeland
Security receives adequate funding to carryout its mission--to help
prevent, protect against and respond to acts of terrorism on U.S. soil.
I am pleased that for fiscal year 2007-2008, the Committee recommends
$2,065,387,000 above the amount requested for discretionary resources.
On February 5th, President Bush delivered the fiscal year 2008 budget
request for the Department of Homeland Security and it failed to
address our Nation's most pressing security needs. It left gaps in our
Nation's border, port, mass transit, rail, aviation, cyber and critical
infrastructure security. Essentially, the administration's proposed
budget failed to aggressively promote the necessity of protection,
prevention, and preparation.
With the recently foiled JFK terrorist plot and the issues of
coordination surrounding the TB case, it is clearly evident that we
need to put more resources into the DHS. While we passed supplemental
funding for the war in Iraq, protecting our Nation's security must
remain a priority. Homeland terrorism is still a prevalent threat.
H.R. 2683 makes key investments in areas such as first responder and
port security by appropriating $1.97 billion above the President's
request. These grants were funded at $4.92 billion in 2004 and have
been cut every year since. I am also pleased that the bill
appropriation includes $50 million above the administration's request
and $797 million above 2007. This will allow DHS to strengthen our
Nation's borders beyond our Mexican border and include areas in the
Caribbean such as my district--the U.S. Virgin Islands.
H.R. 2683 also addresses lessons learned from Hurricanes Rita and
Katrina. This includes increase funding for improvements to FEMA's
management operation called for after Katrina. The bill also provides
$200 million above 2007 for assistance to State and local governments.
Overall, this appropriation bill reflects numerous hours of oversight
hearings on every aspect of security and terrorism issues affecting our
Nation's borders and infrastructure. H.R. 2683 demonstrates to our
Nation this Congress is serious about protecting our citizens and I
urge its passage.
Once again, I would like to thank the Committee on Appropriations
Subcommittee on Homeland Security and the Homeland Security for their
hard work to increase funding for the Department of Homeland Security.
Mr. SIRES. Mr. Chairman, it was clear on September 11 that one of New
Jersey's critical security weaknesses was the protection of chemical
security plants and facilities. New Jersey did not wait around years
for the Department of Homeland Security to enact strong chemical
security regulations. Our State took the initiative to protect its
citizens by enacting strong chemical security laws. This House is
taking action to make sure that my State will be able to keep our
strong standards. The fiscal year 2008 Homeland Security appropriations
bill will prohibit the Department of Homeland Security from overturning
New Jersey's chemical security regulations.
I represent part of the area known as the ``most dangerous 2 miles,''
right near Port Elizabeth in New Jersey. Securing the infrastructure
along this corridor is not only important for the safety of my
constituents and the residents of New Jersey, but also for the entire
Nation. That is why it is so important that the Homeland Security
appropriations bill contains $400 million to protect critical port
facilities and infrastructure.
Mr. Chairman, the Homeland Security appropriations bill has my
support because it is vital to the security of my constituents, the
State of New Jersey, and the entire Nation. Thank you.
Mr. MACK. Mr. Chairman, I rise today to share a few thoughts on the
Homeland Security bill and, more specifically, the Davis-Bacon
expansion that is contained within this legislation. This is an
important bill for our Nation--one that we all should be able to
support; unfortunately, instead of solely funding our national security
needs, the Majority wants to use this bill as an opportunity to fund
union security.
I view the issue like this: You are either for the taxpayer, or you
are against the taxpayer; you are either for small business, or you are
against it; you are either for free markets, or you are against them;
you are either for open competition and freedom, or you are against it.
With this bill, it is pretty certain where the Majority comes down on
those very basic questions. In the end, the American taxpayer will be
the loser if these provisions are allowed to be signed into law.
With the poison pill of the Davis-Bacon provisions, this becomes
unacceptable legislation. Our friends across the aisle--in their rush
to pass giveaways to unions--are saddling the American people with
needlessly higher costs. Put simply, this policy is a throwback to
failed Depression-era economic policy.
Since this Congress convened, Mr. Speaker, Democrats have been trying
to claim the mantle of fiscal responsibility. But how can they
realistically claim that title with this sort of policy? In reality,
they are quickly showing themselves, once again, to be the party of
anti-competition and bad policy. Instead of inserting bad law into a
critical bill, Democrats should be leading the way by removing Davis-
Bacon from all Federal law.
Countless studies have shown that action would truly save the
taxpayers' money. In fact,
[[Page H6499]]
if we were to repeal Davis-Bacon, the Congressional Budget Office has
said we would save at least $10.5 billion over 10 years for taxpayers.
A separate study showed that number to be as high as $2 billion per
year. The vast majority of our Nation's workforce is non-unionized and
our policies should reflect that. We need to be working to ensure there
is fair and open competition for government grants--not rewards for Big
Labor.
All this leads to the question: Why wouldn't we remove this law from
the books? With the amendment to strike Davis-Bacon from this bill,
which I am proud to cosponsor with several of my colleagues, we are
seeking to take a first step in making sure this law doesn't expand any
further.
So, Mr. Chairman, I stand up in support of this amendment, in support
of good fiscal policy, and in support of the taxpayers. Expanding this
law will only once again throw more costs on the backs of hard-working
Americans. You cannot say you are for fiscal responsibility and free
markets while at the same time promoting policies that lead to the
exact opposite. Try as they might, the Majority cannot have it both
ways. The American people deserve better.
Mr. ADERHOLT. Mr. Chairman, I would like to reference two positive
programs within this Homeland Security Appropriations bill that are
making a difference in the 4th District of Alabama.
For several years, Congress has included funding in this bill for
local Assistance to Firefighters Grants. The purpose of this grant
program is to award grants directly to fire departments and
nonaffiliated emergency medical service organizations. These awards aim
to enhance our first responder's ability to protect the health and
safety of the public, as well as that of first-responder personnel,
with respect to fire-related hazards. Using a competitive process
overseen by fire service subject matter experts, DHS awards grants to
applicants whose requests best address the priorities of the program.
This is especially important in the district that I represent in
North Alabama.
As a rural area, North Alabama is home to many volunteer fire
departments and rescue squads. These people work hard to protect their
communities and provide first rate care of their neighbors.
Unfortunately in too many instances they are forced to do so with older
equipment that doesn't provide the proper safety or performance that
they need to do their jobs. This problem isn't for lack of care; it's
in large measure due to a lack of funding. The Fire Grant program has
proven to be a tremendous asset that has helped meet the needs of the
fire departments and EMS organizations that I represent.
I am pleased that this important program has received increased
funding this year. That means that more organizations will be able to
participate and upgrade equipment and training that they might
otherwise have been unable to do. As a result they will be better
prepared to save lives, protect homes and businesses and continue to
serve their communities in a meaningful way.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the Chairman and
Ranking Member for their support of another important program within
Homeland Security, textile transshipment enforcement. As a district
with a heavy textile manufacturing presence, I am very aware of the
problems faced by this important industry.
Today foreign manufacturers are utilizing unnatural and unfair
business practices that are hurting U.S. textile manufacturers. One
such scheme involves the transshipment of goods to evade duty or quotas
on textiles being brought into the country. Over the last several
years, U.S. Customs and Border Patrol, CBP, and Immigration and Customs
Enforcement have been very successful in stopping many of these illegal
textile transshipments.
In 2006, Customs announced that they seized more than $100 million in
wearing apparel and textile goods that were misrepresented, smuggled or
illegally transshipped in an effort to circumvent U.S. textile trade
laws and regulations. Of that amount, $3 million worth of socks were
confiscated. This program is making a difference and giving U.S.
textile manufacturers an opportunity to compete. I fully support this
funding and am pleased that this Congress continues to recognize its
importance.
Mrs. MALONEY of New York. Mr. Chairman, I rise today in support of
H.R. 2638, the FY 2008 Homeland Security Appropriations Act. I want to
commend Chairman Price and Ranking Member Rogers for their leadership
in getting the bill to the Floor today.
H.R. 2638 provides critical funding to protect the homeland in case
of disasters, both man-made and natural. As a representative for New
York City, terrorist target number one, I am especially pleased to see
the increased funding in several important areas. The bill increases
funding by $30 million over last year's amount to $800 million for the
Urban Area Security Initiative grants. While I am pleased to see this
increase in funding, I strongly believe that these grants should
receive even more funding so that urban areas that are high-risk
targets for terrorist attacks are better prepared. The bill also
includes increased funding for port security grants and rail and
transit grants, both of which are vitally important to New York City.
This bill addresses the critical needs in aviation security by
including funding to double the amount of cargo inspected on passenger
airplanes. After going through security checks to get on a plane,
passengers should feel secure that the cargo stowed underneath their
feet has been checked as well. This funding is an important step in
making that happen.
I also want to note the language in the bill that aims to reduce the
number of sole-source contracts given out by the Department of Homeland
Security. The bill requires, except in emergencies and when certain
distribution mechanisms already exist, a full and open competitive
process for the obligation of all grant and contract funds. As a
longtime proponent of fair and open contracting, this language is
critical to ensuring greater accountability and transparency in
spending taxpayers' dollars.
H.R. 2638 is a good, comprehensive bill that will improve our
security and our preparedness should another disaster strike.
I urge my colleagues to support this bill.
Mr. HIGGINS. Mr. Chairman, I rise to congratulate this House on
passing a homeland security appropriations bill that will protect the
economies of Northern Border communities as well as protect us from
terrorism.
The homeland security bill contained two rebukes of the way the
Department of State and Department of Homeland Security are proceeding
toward requiring passports for travel at land-border crossings between
the United States and Canada. My friend Congresswoman Slaughter, Chair
of the Rules Committee, authored a provision that will delay
implementation of the passport requirement until a pilot program has
been completed to determine if an enhanced driver's license may offer
the same security as a passport with a far lesser impact to border
communities.
And my Northern Border colleagues Congressman LaTourette and
Congressman Kucinich won overwhelming approval for their amendment to
delay implementation of the passport requirement until June 2009.
These legislative provisions reflect the concern that my Northern
Border colleagues and I have been expressing for some time: that
requiring a passport for travel at Northern Border land crossings is
unworkable, unnecessary, and destructive to our communities.
I represent the City of Buffalo and surrounding communities in
Western New York. We are an area that is plagued with a vulnerable
economy, and cutting off commerce with our Canadian neighbors would be
a knockout blow to our community. Southern Ontario is the third-fastest
growing economy in North America, and its population is expected to
increase by 3 million over the next two decades. Western New York needs
direct and efficient access to that market, as we depend on our
Canadian neighbors to support our cultural, retail, and educational
institutions.
Last year my office received twenty requests for assistance to
expedite passport applications. In the first 6 months of 2007 my office
has received over 500. It is clear that as we move toward the
Administration's stated goal of January 2008 for implementation of the
passport requirement, the system is overwhelmed. If the Administration
proceeds on its current course, our residents will not have access to
the documents they need and cross-border travel will come to a
standstill. This is unacceptable.
It is my hope and expectation that the clear rejection of the
passport requirement this House adopted today will send a message to
the White House, Department of State and Department of Homeland
Security that we expect them to reconsider and revise this ill-
conceived and dangerous proposal.
Mr. ORTIZ. Mr. Chairman, I rise in support of the FY08 Homeland
Security Appropriations bill--the House's first all-encompassing look
at the security of our Nation. But I strongly oppose the proposition
that a border wall will protect this Nation, and I ask my colleagues to
consider what a wall along the Southwest border will do.
During this debate my friends in the minority have said they are
focused on the funding levels of this bill . . . saying they are too
high and wasteful. Here's what is wasteful: according to Customs and
Border Protection, every mile of a wall will cost at least $3 million
dollars to construct. That doesn't include any funding needed to buy
private lands or maintain the fence.
In this 21st Century, we have the technology to adequately protect
our borders through a virtual fence without dividing communities,
adversely impacting our economy, giving up water rights, denying
private property rights for landowners on the border, or changing
international boundaries without benefit of international treaties.
[[Page H6500]]
I am grateful that the Committee incorporated the language in the
bill to include the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as one of the
federal agencies with which DHS must coordinate before spending money
to build a wall. And I have received a commitment to include the
International Boundary and Water Commission to the list of federal
agencies DHS must coordinate with, as the bill moves through
conference. I thank the Committee for accepting the language in the
bill requiring the DHS Secretary to consult with local communities, and
to seek their advice before spending money on the wall. That's hardly
enough, but that puts a little lipstick on the pig.
Rather than spend over $3 million dollars a mile, we should be
directing the Department of Homeland Security to utilize technology
like ground sensors, unmanned aircraft, vehicle barriers, cameras and
human surveillance through Border Patrol.
The technology of a virtual wall saves the taxpayers $2 million
dollars a mile . . . will be more reliable . . . and actually give the
Border Patrol the time and resources they need to detain illegal
immigrants or potential terrorists. Virtual technology is proven; this
week the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey announced it would
deploy a virtual fence to protect JFK, Newark Liberty International and
LaGuardia airports. Much of the technology they are deploying is either
currently being used or developed by CBP.
We need to be smarter about our border security . . . rather than
expect a physical wall to singlehandedly protect our country. Unless
you live along the border, you do not understand the uniqueness of
border communities. Constructing a fence along the southwest border is
going to have a devastating economic impact in our border towns.
Much of the area along the border is growing rapidly with more and
more Fortune 500 companies moving business to South Texas. What message
does constructing a wall send to these companies? Twenty years ago this
week, on June 12, 1987--President Ronald Reagan said of the Berlin Wall
that scarred Europe: ``Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.''
We are better than Soviet Europe . . . and an antiquated structure
along our borders will not protect our Nation. Protecting the border is
of the utmost importance to me, and all Americans.
Nearly every single Border Patrol agent, who has confided in me, is
certain a wall is not the solution. They would rather receive funding
for additional manpower, technology and tactical infrastructure, such
as vehicle barriers, to protect our border.
I urge my colleagues to save taxpayers money, oppose the handful of
amendments before us that throw good money after bad in building a wall
that will not protect this great Nation.
Mr. PRICE of North Carolina. Mr. Chairman, I submit the following for
the Record.

Mr. PRICE of North Carolina. Mr. Chairman, I move that the Committee
do now rise and report the bill back to the House with sundry
amendments, with the recommendation that the amendments be agreed to
and that the bill, as amended, do pass.
The motion was agreed to.
Accordingly, the Committee rose; and the Speaker pro tempore (Mr.
McNulty) having assumed the chair, Mr. Ross, 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. 2638)
making appropriations for the Department of Homeland Security for the
fiscal year ending September 30, 2008, and for other purposes, pursuant
to House Resolution 473, he reported the bill back to the House with
sundry amendments adopted in the Committee of the Whole, with the
recommendation that the amendments be agreed to and that the bill, as
amended, do pass.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under the rule, the previous question is
ordered.
(By unanimous consent, Mr. Hoyer was allowed to speak out of order.)
Permission to Reduce Time for Electronic Voting During Further
Consideration of H.R. 2638 and During Consideration of H.R. 2642,
Military Construction and Veterans Affairs Appropriations Act, 2008
Mr. HOYER. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent
(1) That during all proceedings today on H.R. 2642, the Military
Construction bill, the Chair be authorized to reduce to 2 minutes the
minimum time for electronic voting on any question that otherwise could
be subjected to 5-minute voting under clause 8 or 9 of rule XX or under
clause 6 of rule XVIII; and
(2) That during proceedings in the House today on both H.R. 2638 and
H.R. 2642, the Chair be authorized to reduce to 5 minutes the minimum
time for electronic voting on even the first vote in a series.
Mr. Speaker, by this order I am proposing that the first vote in any
series in the Committee of the Whole will be, as usual, a 15-minute
vote; that the first vote in a series back in the House after
concluding business in the Committee of the Whole may be, and we expect
will be, a 5-minute vote; and that subsequent votes in any series and
in either setting may be 2-minute votes.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the
gentleman from Maryland?
There was no objection.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is a separate vote demanded on any amendment
reported from the Committee of the Whole? If not, the Chair will put
them en gros.
The amendments were 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. Lewis of California
Mr. LEWIS of California. Mr. Speaker, I offer a motion to recommit.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is the gentleman opposed to the bill?
Mr. LEWIS of California. I am.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to
recommit.
The Clerk read as follows:
Mr. LEWIS of California moves to recommit the bill, H.R.
2638, making appropriations for the Department of Homeland
Security for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2008, and
for other purposes, to the Committee on Appropriations with
instructions to report the same back promptly with an
amendment to provide the funds necessary for the construction
of at least 2 layers of reinforced fencing, the installation
of additional physical barrier, roads, lighting, cameras, and
sensors pursuant to section 102(b)(1) of the Illegal
Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1986
and make adjustments in such other accounts in the bill as
may be necessary to comply with the Subcommittee's 302(b)
allocation.
{time} 1130
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from California is recognized
for 5 minutes.
Mr. LEWIS of California. Mr. Speaker, this motion involves bold
direction to provide the funds necessary to fund all aspects of the
security barrier needed to protect our borders. When I say ``all
aspects,'' I mean fencing, tactical infrastructure and technology, any
and all tools needed by the Department of Homeland Security to secure
our porous borders. Under this motion, the funds in the bill would have
to be allocated as necessary to meet the goals of the Secure Fence Act,
which was passed by this body in the last Congress by a vote of 283-
138.
Before we can consider so-called immigration reform, we must get our
priorities straight and secure our borders. DHS's Secure Border
Initiative, or SBI, is working. In FY 2006, we ended the flawed
practice of catch and release. In FY 2007, we reduced the apprehension
of illegal immigrants along the border by almost 50 percent.
Let's take the next step in FY 2008 with the funding provided in this
bill and ensure that border security is more than just a term
politicians throw around, that it becomes a reality.
Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. PRICE of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to the
motion to recommit.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from North Carolina is
recognized for 5 minutes.
Mr. PRICE of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, this motion to recommit, to
put it as bluntly as I can possibly put it, would kill this bill. It
would simply kill the bill. The wording, the tell-tale wording, ``to
report the same back promptly,'' those are code words for killing this
bill.
Now, one has to acknowledge that there are some hot buttons that this
motion to recommit touches, words like ``fencing'' and ``border
protection.'' But Members should understand that if they are really
interested in border protection, if they are interested in immigration
enforcement, if they are interested in funding for a concerted effort,
which this bill initiates, to identify and deport persons who have
committed serious crimes, if they are interested in enhanced port
security and transit security and support for local communities, if our
Members are interested in those critical priorities, which is what this
bill is focused on, then they will defeat this cleverly-worded fraud.
It will kill the bill.
We should defeat the motion to recommit. That is all I believe that
needs to be said. I ask for my colleagues to vote no.
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.
Mr. LEWIS of California. Mr. Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and
nays.
The yeas and nays were ordered.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the order of the House of today,
this is a 5-minute vote.
Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XX and the order of the House of today,
the Chair will reduce to 2 minutes the minimum time for the electronic
vote on the question of passage.
The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 200,
nays 217, not voting 15, as follows:

Announcement by the Speaker Pro Tempore
The Speaker pro tempore (during the vote). Members are advised 2
minutes remain in this vote.
{time} 1138
So the motion to recommit was rejected.
The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
(By unanimous consent, Mrs. Schmidt was allowed to speak out of
order.)
Moment of Silence in Memory of the Honorable Donald Daniel Clancy
Mrs. SCHMIDT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the memory of a
great man, a former Member of this body who is being laid to rest as we
speak.
Donald Daniel Clancy was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, on July 24, 1921.
He graduated from Elder High School and then attended Xavier
University. In 1948, he graduated from Cincinnati Law School and gained
admission to the bar the same year. He began practicing law in
Cincinnati.
Congressman Clancy began his service to the public as a member of the
City Council of Cincinnati in 1952, serving on the Council until
becoming Mayor from 1958 to 1960.
Donald Clancy earned the Republican nomination for the Second
District in 1960, a seat which I now hold. Donald Clancy won the
election and began his service in the 87th Congress. He served for 16
years.
He is being laid to rest as we speak. He is survived by his wife, his
children and three wonderful grandchildren. His daughter, Patty, serves
in the Ohio legislature as a Senator.
Mr. Speaker, I would like to yield to my colleague, Steve Chabot.
Mr. CHABOT. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman for yielding.
Mr. Speaker, I want to join with my fellow Buckeye, Congresswoman
Schmidt. I think we should take this moment to commemorate the passing
of Donald Clancy.
Mr. Speaker, Donald Clancy very honorably represented what was then
the Second District, which is now essentially the First District that I
represent. He actually lived in Jean Schmidt's district as well.
This was truly a great man. I will not repeat all the details that
the gentlewoman said, but he grew up basically on the West Side of
Cincinnati and went to a rival high school. He went to Elder, I went to
LaSalle. We went to rival law schools, both in Cincinnati, and both
served on City Council.
He was elected in 1960, but was defeated in 1976 by Tom Luken. Tom
was obviously a Democrat. These were Tom's comments about Donald
Clancy: ``He was a formidable opponent and well-regarded. People often
asked what your relations really are with your opponents. I've never
had a cross word with Don Clancy, because he was a good guy and a good
friend. Clance served the district and the city very well. He was
respected. I'd say he was loved by his constituents on the West side
and throughout the city.''
This was truly someone I believe who will be remembered. He served
both on the Ways and Means Committee and he served on the Armed
Services Committee.
His wife, Betty, his daughters, Patty and Kathy, and son, Dan, and
three grand children I know are going to miss him, and we should keep
them in our hearts and in our prayers.
His political legacy will be carried on I believe by his daughter
Patty, who is in the State senate now. I would ask our colleagues,
there are still some here that served with him, if you wouldn't mind
dropping a note to the family, I am sure they would greatly appreciate
it.
Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman for bringing this up.
Mrs. SCHMIDT. Mr. Speaker, if we could have a moment of silence.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair would ask all Members of the House
to rise for a moment of silence in memory of Congressman Clancy.
Announcement by the Speaker Pro Tempore
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, 2-minute voting will
resume.
There was no objection.
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.
This will be a 2-minute vote.
The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 268,
nays 150, not voting 14, as follows:
