    PROVIDING FOR CONSIDERATION OF H.R. 3162, CHILDREN'S HEALTH AND 
                    MEDICARE PROTECTION ACT OF 2007

  Mr. SESSIONS. Madam Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that the text of 
the amendment, which I will offer to the rule if the previous question 
is defeated, and extraneous material be printed just prior to the vote 
on the previous question.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Texas?
  There was no objection.
  Mr. SESSIONS. Madam Speaker, I yield the balance of my time to the 
ranking member of the Select Committee on Intelligence, the gentleman 
from Michigan (Mr. Hoekstra).
  Mr. HOEKSTRA. Madam Speaker, I think we all know the context of the 
world that we live in today. America is under heightened threat.
  We also know that, if we go back to May 21, the Director of National 
Intelligence has said our intelligence agencies must obtain a court 
order to monitor the communications of foreigners suspected of 
terrorist activity who are physically located in foreign countries. 
Foreign intelligence, foreign terrorists in foreign countries, and we 
need to get a court order.
  The end result is we have significant gaps in gathering the 
information that we need to keep America safe. That is why we need to 
vote against this previous question, and why we need to do an update of 
the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act today.
  But in light of these threats and this context, what has been the 
response? What's been the response of this Congress and the other side?
  Only a couple of weeks ago, we decided that we would give al Qaeda 
more information about our Intelligence Community. We decided that 
Congress would mandate that we declassify the top line. In the 
intelligence authorization bill that we did earlier this year, we said 
we want a national intelligence estimate, not on al Qaeda, not on Iran, 
not on Syria, not on North Korea, but we want it on global climate 
change. We gutted some of our key funding for intelligence operations, 
and we have done absolutely nothing on updating FISA, even though we 
are under heightened threat and we are talking about foreign targets, 
foreign intelligence from individuals who are located overseas.
  We need to update FISA, and we need to do it before we go home. 
Weakening our national security and weakening our intelligence effort 
in these times is the wrong thing to do.
  We used to talk about our inability to connect the dots. What we now 
have is a majority that is unwilling and unable to give our 
Intelligence Community even the capabilities to go out and connect the 
dots that keep us safe.
  Make no doubt about it. We are weakening our intelligence. We are 
making this country more vulnerable, and we need to act, and we need to 
act before we go on recess.
  Mr. NADLER. Will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. HOEKSTRA. No, I will not yield. And I know that this colleague 
has been very sympathetic to making us and fixing this problem, and I 
appreciate his efforts in this area.
  But if we go back to knowing that we have had this information for 
more than 6 months, we have not dealt with this information. Go back to 
the ``op ed'' that the Director of National Intelligence wrote in May. 
And this bill that we are dealing with today concerns children. But, as 
the DNI has said, this surveillance saves lives, the lives of our 
children and grandchildren. That is what we are talking about.
  What do we do to keep the homeland safe? What do we do to keep our 
troops safe? Because we are talking about gathering intelligence from 
foreign targets in places like Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iraq.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman's time has expired.
  Mr. SESSIONS. Madam Speaker, I would ask unanimous consent for 2 
additional minutes for the gentleman.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Texas?

[[Page H9300]]

  Ms. CASTOR. I object.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Objection is heard.
  Mr. HOEKSTRA. I encourage my colleagues to vote ``no'' on this 
previous question. Deal with the issue of FISA and deal with it now.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman's time has expired.
  Ms. CASTOR. Madam Speaker, for today we are here on the Children's 
Health and Medicare Act, the CHAMP Act.
  And, Madam Speaker, I hope the American people know there are many 
champions for America's kids standing up for our hardworking families 
in the Nation's Capitol today; and we are joining with Republican and 
Democratic Governors from across the country fighting for a new 
direction, for a healthier and economically sound America.
  It was only 8 months ago when Speaker  Nancy Pelosi accepted the 
gavel as the first female Speaker of the House of Representatives. She 
accepted that gavel on behalf of America's children, and we're going to 
keep our promise to America's kids today.
  There's another champion in the Chair of the Rules Committee, Ms. 
Louise Slaughter, who has helped us fight through these delaying 
tactics to bring this bill to the floor, and we will vote on it today.
  In the Energy and Commerce Committee, Chairman John Dingell continues 
to be a voice of clarity and advocacy for America's children; and he is 
joined by the voices, the loud voices, of Congressman Frank Pallone and 
Congresswoman Diana DeGette and the members of that committee.
  In the Ways and Means Committee, where PAYGO means something now in 
this new Congress, Chairman Charlie Rangel has led our effort to pay 
for this Act.
  And I salute the subcommittee Chair, Mr. Pete Stark, and the members 
of that committee and many, many more on the floor of this House, who 
are not just Members of Congress, but we are also parents and we are 
grandparents.
  The real champions, however, are the parents across America working 
to make ends meet and provide their children with a healthy and 
successful life. We are on their side today and every day, even in the 
face of resistance from the White House, where the President suggests 
that the health care for America's kids can be found in the emergency 
rooms of local hospitals. That is wrong.
  Instead, through the SCHIP program and children's health care and 
this innovative partnership between communities, States and Federal 
Government, we will make important investments in our kids and their 
health today that will pay dividends down the road for our economy. It 
will reduce the strain on our emergency rooms, our crowded local 
emergency rooms, and it will reduce the strain on moms and dads.
  This is, indeed, a historic day, a day for a new direction, a day 
full of hope for the health of our children and a better America.
  I urge a ``yes'' vote on the previous question and on the rule.
  The material previously referred to by Mr. Sessions is as follows:

       Amendment to H. Res. 594 Offered by Mr. Sessions of Texas

       At the end of the resolution, add the following:
       Sec. 3. That immediately upon the adoption of this 
     resolution the House shall, without intervention of any point 
     of order, consider the bill (H.R. 3138) to amend the Foreign 
     Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 to update the 
     definition of electronic surveillance. All points of order 
     against the bill are waived. The bill shall be considered as 
     read. The previous question shall be considered as ordered on 
     the bill to final passage without intervening motion except: 
     (1) one hour of debate on the bill equally divided and 
     controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of the 
     Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence; and (2) one 
     motion to recommit.
                                  ____

       (The information contained herein was provided by 
     Democratic Minority on multiple occasions throughout the 
     109th Congress.)

        The Vote on the Previous Question: What It Really Means

       This vote, the vote on whether to order the previous 
     question on a special rule, is not merely a procedural vote. 
     A vote against ordering the previous question is a vote 
     against the Democratic majority agenda and a vote to allow 
     the opposition, at least for the moment, to offer an 
     alternative plan. It is a vote about what the House should be 
     debating.
       Mr. Clarence Cannon's Precedents of the House of 
     Representatives, (VI, 308-311) describes the vote on the 
     previous question on the rule as ``a motion to direct or 
     control the consideration of the subject before the House 
     being made by the Member in charge.'' To defeat the previous 
     question is to give the opposition a chance to decide the 
     subject before the House. Cannon cites the Speaker's ruling 
     of January 13, 1920, to the effect that ``the refusal of the 
     House to sustain the demand for the previous question passes 
     the control of the resolution to the opposition'' in order to 
     offer an amendment. On March 15, 1909, a member of the 
     majority party offered a rule resolution. The House defeated 
     the previous question and a member of the opposition rose to 
     a parliamentary inquiry, asking who was entitled to 
     recognition. Speaker Joseph G. Cannon (R-Illinois) said: 
     ``The previous question having been refused, the gentleman 
     from New York, Mr. Fitzgerald, who had asked the gentleman to 
     yield to him for an amendment, is entitled to the first 
     recognition.''
       Because the vote today may look bad for the Democratic 
     majority they will say ``the vote on the previous question is 
     simply a vote on whether to proceed to an immediate vote on 
     adopting the resolution . . . [and] has no substantive 
     legislative or policy implications whatsoever.'' But that is 
     not what they have always said. Listen to the definition of 
     the previous question used in the Floor Procedures Manual 
     published by the Rules Committee in the 109th Congress, (page 
     56). Here's how the Rules Committee described the rule using 
     information from Congressional Quarterly's American 
     Congressional Dictionary: ``If the previous question is 
     defeated, control of debate shifts to the leading opposition 
     member (usually the minority Floor Manager) who then manages 
     an hour of debate and may offer a germane amendment to the 
     pending business.''
       Deschler's Procedure in the U.S. House of Representatives, 
     the subchapter titled ``Amending Special Rules'' states: ``a 
     refusal to order the previous question on such a rule [a 
     special rule reported from the Committee on Rules] opens the 
     resolution to amendment and further debate.'' (Chapter 21, 
     section 21.2) Section 21.3 continues: Upon rejection of the 
     motion for the previous question on a resolution reported 
     from the Committee on Rules, control shifts to the Member 
     leading the opposition to the previous question, who may 
     offer a proper amendment or motion and who controls the time 
     for debate thereon.''
       Clearly, the vote on the previous question on a rule does 
     have substantive policy implications. It is one of the only 
     available tools for those who oppose the Democratic 
     majority's agenda and allows those with alternative views the 
     opportunity to offer an alternative plan.

  Ms. CASTOR. Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time, and I 
move the previous question on the resolution.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on ordering the previous 
question.
  The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that 
the ayes appeared to have it.
  Mr. SESSIONS. Madam Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays.
  The yeas and nays were 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 adoption of the resolution.
  The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 228, 
nays 190, not voting 14, as follows:

                             [Roll No. 784]
