EIGHTMILE WILD AND SCENIC RIVER ACT
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 2 of House Resolution
580, proceedings will now resume on the bill (H.R. 986) to amend the
Wild and Scenic Rivers Act to designate certain segments of the
Eightmile River in the State of Connecticut as components of the
National Wild and Scenic Rivers System, and for other purposes.
The Clerk read the title of the bill.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. When proceedings were postponed on Monday,
July 30, 2007, 4 minutes remained in debate.
The gentleman from Arizona (Mr. Grijalva) and the gentleman from Utah
(Mr. Bishop) each control 2 minutes.
Mr. GRIJALVA. Madam Speaker, I will reserve the balance of my time
for closing.
Mr. BISHOP of Utah. Madam Speaker, the issue at hand today is not the
23 miles of wild and scenic river in what is called the Eightmile
River. It is on the use of condemnation power to create it. It is sad
in this situation that staff did not decide to work in a bipartisan way
to try and come up with language accommodating everybody, instead,
rejected in both the Rules and Resource Committees on straight party-
line votes, simple and direct language that the Republicans submitted.
We asked that it simply read that no Federal funds be used to condemn
land to carry out the purpose of that act. Every Democrat, from the
sponsor to the committee, said that was indeed their goal.
That is simple language in section B. It is short; it's direct; it's
understandable to any citizen, any attorney, any judge. That's what we
need.
Instead, the Democrats gave us a convoluted bit of double talk about
zoning ordinances by some date in 2005, later on perhaps, willing
sellers, all in the wrong section of the code, section C.
It is nice, but it is a loophole. Simply because if you read, not the
bill, but the act, read the entire act, you'll find that all of the
language that is presented in this section, in this bill comes after
this sentence in the law which says, nothing contained in this section,
that covers what we're talking about and what they're talking about,
nothing contained in this section shall preclude the use of
condemnation. This supersedes everything in their bill. All the
gobbledygook they want to do, it supersedes it.
This is the language to which we object, and the Democrat bill does
nothing to mitigate this power of condemnation.
I don't care if we're talking about an Eightmile River in Connecticut
for Mr. Courtney or 8 miles of road in Detroit for Eminem. This is
still the issue that is at hand. In the district where the State and
local governments tried to take the home away from Suzette Kelo, we
don't want it to be replicated again. This language has to be changed.
So all of us need to lose yourself in this language. Read it, for
indeed our citizens will. The voters will. It is clear. This is what we
need changed.
Mr. GRIJALVA. Madam Speaker, the language in this bill is no
different from other wild and scenic river bills that have passed both
Democratic and Republican Congresses, including under the former
committee chairman, the famed property rights defender, Richard Pombo.
To hear opponents tell it, this bill is a threat to private property
with the Federal Government waiting in the wings to condemn land. In
reality, nothing of the sort would happen, and that's because opponents
of the bill have persistently refused to acknowledge the clear language
of the legislation.
First of all, the bill prohibits condemnation under the authority of
the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. Then the very next sentence states:
``The authority of the Secretary to acquire lands for the purpose of
this Act should be limited to the acquisition by donation or
acquisition with the consent of the owner.''
Therefore, I believe, Madam Speaker, this is an absolute, unambiguous
blanket denial of condemnation authorities. We say it twice in the
legislation. We don't need to say it three times.
My colleague, Joe Courtney, has done an outstanding job with this
measure, which is supported by the entire Connecticut delegation, the
Republican Governor of Connecticut, the State legislature and all of
the affected local governments, and the Bush administration.
Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on this
bipartisan measure.
I yield back the balance of our time.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. All time for debate has expired.
Pursuant to House Resolution 580, the previous question is ordered on
the bill, as amended.
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. Pearce
Mr. PEARCE. Madam Speaker, I offer a motion to recommit.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is the gentleman opposed to the bill?
Mr. PEARCE. In its current form, I am.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to
recommit.
The Clerk read as follows:
Mr. Pearce moves to recommit the bill H.R. 986 to the
Committee on Natural Resources with instructions to report
the same back to the House forthwith with the following
amendment:
At the end of the bill, add the following:
(j) Clarification.--No Federal funds may be used to condemn
land to carry out the purposes of this Act or the amendment
made by subsection (b).''.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from
[[Page H9224]]
New Mexico is recognized for 5 minutes in support of his motion.
Mr. PEARCE. Madam Speaker, I thank the gentleman from Utah for his
hard work on this issue. I thank the chairman of the subcommittee.
We're good friends. And all three of us come from the West, where we
are very familiar with public ownership of land.
One of the things that really concerns us most about the threat of
condemnation and about the way that home owners, private property
owners would be affected is shown in this chart that I have here. The
management plan would put a cap on impervious services, and those
services could not be paved. If the road to your house washes out, then
you simply can't do it.
Now, there are all sorts of takings that the Federal Government can
do, and this is one, where they simply won't allow you to fix your
property up or fix the roads leading to your property.
{time} 1345
So you would lose value because you could not own a house and sell a
house that has a road leading to it that has washed out. You cannot add
a room to your home; so feasibly we could say that we are limiting
procreation. If you have another kid, you can't build a room in the
back to accommodate them. You can't go build on your property if you
have not already built there. You can't go in and build. The private
land is impacted seriously.
But beyond that is there a real concern? Do we have a concern for the
public taking of private lands and making it theirs? Are there examples
in our history as a Nation where we maybe have extended the power of a
Federal Government, a central government that is too strong, a central
government that begins to overburden and outweigh and out muscle the
citizens? If so, then it is imperative that we give voice to those
citizens who have no other voice, who have been left out completely,
who are going to be marginalized by these management plans.
I think that we do have a Federal Government that will extend too
far, and I think that we have a concern here. Now, it is unfortunate
that we have come to this point because the underlying bill, the one
that says we would like to preserve a wild and scenic river, is one
that there is almost no discussion about. The entire discussion is
about private property rights, that constitutional right that gives us
each our place to retreat to in the evening without the government's
coming in and taking either part of its value or simply confiscating
the whole thing.
Now, confiscation is a language that seems abrupt, that seems too
harsh, that we really do not face that sort of circumstance today in
this country. I would tell you that, as chairman of the National Parks
Subcommittee last year, we heard testimony from the Franciscan Friars
of Atonement in New York. That group had fought the National Park
Service for decades, saying don't take our land. But through eminent
domain, the Federal Park Service had continued to put pressure. Again,
it was the threat of what they could do that was used as the hammer.
So we find ourselves now with this bill, which the ranking member
adequately points out that there is an underlying bill that contains
language that nothing contained in this section shall preclude the use
of condemnation. It is a process that has been used frequently.
I was recently in Shenandoah National Park, and you would think that
Shenandoah is just a great location, and it is. But the underlying
story is one that is told right now in the Visitors Center in
Shenandoah, and it is about the confiscation, about moving, it seems to
me, about 4,000 families out of their homes so that that could be a big
park area. We did not want those inconvenient people living there; so
we simply moved them out for their own good. We moved them to much
better places regardless if they wanted to move or not.
In my own State of New Mexico, the White Sands Missile Range exists
there. It is 100 miles north and south and it is 40 miles east and
west, 100 miles by 40 miles, and almost all of that land was taken by
condemnation.
Condemnation occurs when a too strong central Federal Government just
wants to go ahead and move. Forget those pesky citizens.
The Supreme Court recently in the Kelo decision said that governments
can, in fact, take private property and redistribute it to another
private firm. That is what is at stake both left and right. Both agreed
in this circumstance. Liberal and conservative, Democrats and
Republicans, said the Kelo decision was one of the most atrocious in
taking private property rights away from people.
Madam Speaker, I would simply point out that private property rights
are the foundation of our rights. I would urge all Members to vote for
the motion to recommit.
Mr. GRIJALVA. Madam Speaker, I rise in opposition to the motion to
recommit.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Arizona is recognized for
5 minutes.
Mr. GRIJALVA. Madam Speaker, I would like to yield to the sponsor of
the legislation, the gentleman from Connecticut (Mr. Courtney).
Mr. COURTNEY. Madam Speaker, I have got a feeling that people in this
Chamber have heard more about the Eightmile River in Connecticut than
they probably ever wanted to. But I want to thank Chairman Grijalva and
Chairman Rahall, intelligent, thoughtful people who understand the 10
years of hard work that has taken place in the communities of Salem,
Lyme and East Haddam, Connecticut, to get to this day is worth
proceeding and moving forward.
There are 168 rivers in this country that have been designated as
Wild and Scenic, and the Federal Government has not swept in and seized
property as part of this program. This is a program which is aimed at
preserving water quality and species, and it is very clear in the act
that the government will waive any powers of condemnation if they are
satisfied that there are zoning and wetland regulations in place which
will accomplish those goals. And that is exactly the situation here.
These three towns have wetland regulations which have been on the
books before the application for Wild and Scenic status ever took place
which the Parks Department checked off on its box as adequate to
achieve the goals of this program, and thus the statute specifically
states that the condemnation powers shall not apply to this property.
When this issue came up 3 weeks ago, newspapers back home looked at
it and just said the claims of the other side are just not true. And
that is why the Republican Governor of the State of Connecticut, Jodi
Rell; the Republican First Selectman of the Town of Lyme; the
Republican First Selectman of the Town of Salem; and the Democratic
First Selectman, who's a pretty good guy too, have all come out in
support of this legislation because it has been a grassroots community
effort, bipartisan, property owners and public officials, to make the
Eightmile River part of the family of rivers in this country which have
been identified as worth preserving for our children and our
grandchildren.
The bill that was drafted by nonpartisan staff follows the basic
legislative format that this Congress has followed in the past for Wild
and Scenic status. In fact, the prior Congress which was controlled by
the Republicans, the 109th Congress, proceeded on a river designation
in the State of New Jersey without any of the language which is
included in the motion to recommit. If it was such a big deal, why
didn't the other side, when they were in control, actually adopt that
language?
I think, frankly, folks, we are talking about politics here and not
policy. And again I want to thank Mr. Grijalva for his strong support.
Mr. GRIJALVA. Madam Speaker, reclaiming my time, as I hear the
colleagues on the other side raising the specter of massive
condemnation on the part of the Federal Government, I believe that it
is more of a scare tactic to divert attention, I think, about what is
good in this bill because there are really no substantive grounds in
which to oppose it.
Twice in the legislation it is reaffirmed that condemnation is not
part of the process, that there must be willing consent on the part of
property owners. There is no real problem in that. The Bush
administration understands it, the Republican Governor of
[[Page H9225]]
Connecticut understands this, the affected local communities understand
this.
In my opinion, I think the motivation for opposition has to do with
the audacity of the gentleman from Connecticut to run for office,
replace an incumbent and his predecessor, and then the audacity of the
voters of that district to go ahead and elect the gentleman, the
sponsor of this legislation.
It is a consensus bill. It has good support. Rather than dealing with
the messenger, as we are doing today in a political basis, let's deal
with the content, the substance, and the support of this legislation.
And I would urge rejection of the motion to recommit.
Madam 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. BISHOP of Utah. Madam Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and
nays.
The yeas and nays were ordered.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 8 and clause 9 of rule
XX, this 15-minute vote on the motion to recommit will be followed by
5-minute votes on passage of H.R. 986, if ordered; passage of H.R.
2831; ordering the previous question on House Resolution 581; adoption
of House Resolution 581, if ordered; the motion to instruct on H.R.
2272; and motions to suspend the rules with respect to H.R. 176, H.R.
957, and H.R. 2722.
The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 200,
nays 225, not voting 7, as follows:
