 PROVIDING FOR CONSIDERATION OF H.R. 3963, CHILDREN'S HEALTH INSURANCE 
                  PROGRAM REAUTHORIZATION ACT OF 2007

  Ms. SLAUGHTER. Mr. Speaker, by direction of the Committee on Rules, I 
call up House Resolution 774 and ask for its immediate consideration.
  The Clerk read the resolution, as follows:

                              H. Res. 774

       Resolved, That upon the adoption of this resolution it 
     shall be in order to consider in the House the bill (H.R. 
     3963) to amend title XXI of the Social Security Act to extend 
     and improve the Children's Health Insurance Program, and for 
     other purposes. All points of order against consideration of 
     the bill are waived except those arising under clause 9 or 10 
     of rule XXI. The bill shall be considered as read. All points 
     of order against provisions of the bill are waived. The 
     previous question shall be considered as ordered on the bill 
     to final passage without intervening motion except: (1) one 
     hour of debate equally divided among and controlled by the 
     chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on 
     Energy and Commerce and the chairman and ranking minority 
     member of the Committee on Ways and Means; and (2) one motion 
     to recommit.
       Sec. 2.  During consideration of H.R. 3963 pursuant to this 
     resolution, notwithstanding the operation of the previous 
     question, the Chair may postpone further consideration of the 
     bill to such time as may be designated by the Speaker.


                             Point of Order

  Mr. SESSIONS. Mr. Speaker, I raise a point of order against 
consideration of the rule because the rule contains a waiver of all 
points of order against the bill and its consideration and, therefore, 
is in violation of section 426 of the Congressional Budget Act.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Texas makes a point of 
order that the resolution violates section 426(a) of the Congressional 
Budget Act of 1974.
  In accordance with section 426(b)(2) of the Act, the gentleman has 
met the threshold burden to identify the specific language in the 
resolution on which the point of order is predicated.
  Under section 426(b)(4) of the Act, the gentleman from Texas and the 
gentlewoman from New York each will control 10 minutes of debate on the 
question of consideration.
  Pursuant to section 426(b)(3) of the Act, after the debate the Chair 
will put the question of consideration, to wit: ``Will the House now 
consider the resolution?''
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Texas.
  Mr. SESSIONS. Mr. Speaker, we make a point of order with great 
respect to this body. We're here to do business today. We've asked this 
body to please consider an adjournment because we have a lot of Members 
who are in California. We were denied that request.
  We also believe this point of order should be heard because it's 
important that last night a 293-page bill was brought forth to the 
Rules Committee, which we received only 25 to 30 minutes before that 
meeting took place, I believe, in violation of the regular order for 
legislation that Speaker Pelosi has outlined for all Members of 
Congress, as well as the American people, a Congress working for all 
Americans.
  And under regular order for legislation, it states: ``Members should 
have at least 24 hours to examine bill and conference report text prior 
to floor consideration.'' Mr. Speaker, that has not happened again 
today. Again today we find that the legislation not following regular 
order is presented to this House.
  Last night, as we began the discussion in the Rules Committee, we 
found out this is not even a House bill. No

[[Page H12028]]

one took responsibility for the bill that was coming to the Rules 
Committee last night. Every person there said this is a Senate bill; 
this isn't a House bill.
  And then we tried to discuss what was in that bill. I don't know 
what's in that bill. Sure, we've had some time today, but we have not 
digested all 293 pages. And, Mr. Speaker, we believe that what is 
happening here today is not only in violation of what we have seen, a 
Congress working for all Americans, but also the establishment of the 
way this House would run itself under regular order and for the best 
interest of all Members of Congress.
  Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. SLAUGHTER. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. SESSIONS. Mr. Speaker, at this time I would like to yield 4 
minutes to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Hensarling).
  Mr. HENSARLING. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding, and 
I rise in support of his point of order.
  I see that the distinguished Speaker of the House is on the floor, 
was on the floor; and although I don't have the quote in front of me, I 
know, as she took the gavel to become Speaker of the House, that she 
said that this would be something along the lines of the fairest and 
most democratically run House in the history of our country. I'm trying 
to see where the fairness, I'm trying to see where the democracy comes 
in, where most of us, most of us didn't even know of the existence of 
this almost-300-page bill until we arrived this morning. And so I'm 
having a little trouble seeing exactly where we're having fairness and 
democracy.
  Specifically, Mr. Speaker, I think Speaker Pelosi said bills should 
generally come to the floor under procedure that allows open, full, and 
fair debate consisting of a full amendment process that grants the 
minority the right to offer its alternatives, including a substitute.
  Members should have at least 24 hours to examine the bill. That is 
certainly not true for this Member. I don't think it's true for the 
vast majority of Members here.
  So the Speaker may say one thing, and I respect her words, but the 
actions are speaking far more loudly than the words are.
  And I would think, with the great human tragedy that is taking place 
in California unfolding upon the television screens of almost everyone 
in America, I would think that if any Speaker would be sensitive to 
that human tragedy it would be this Speaker since she hails from the 
State of California.
  Yet we have countless Members who need to return home to be about the 
business of their constituents, and they're not here. They're not 
present for a very, very important vote and a vote that could have 
obviously taken place months ago, a vote that could have taken place 
weeks ago, and a vote that can take place early next week when these 
people will return.
  And yet, I fear, I'm not questioning the motives or the heart of any 
one Member, but the actions are such that people could be led to 
believe that this is simply a move to manipulate the outcome of a vote. 
And I'm not sure that's the appearance that we want to give the 
American people.
  And, again, Republicans, Members on this side of the aisle, have 
stood ready for weeks and for months to reauthorize an SCHIP program. 
The vast majority will vote to support funding for every eligible 
child. But a program that was designed and passed by a Republican House 
to ensure health insurance benefits for uninsured low-income American 
children, that's been hijacked.
  And again, yet again, the Democrat Congress will try to transform 
that program into something else; instead to give additional benefits 
to adults while we still have children that are not served, to give 
benefits to illegal immigrants while we still have Americans unserved, 
to give benefits to the uninsured while we have those who are insured 
and, finally, to give benefits to higher-income Americans before we 
serve lower-income Americans. That is not right. This is not fair. This 
is not democratic. It's not what the Speaker committed to. And this 
point of order should be sustained.
  Ms. SLAUGHTER. Mr. Speaker, I continue to reserve.
  Mr. SESSIONS. Mr. Speaker, last Congress the distinguished chairwoman 
of the Committee on Rules thought it was so important to require at 
least 24 hours before voting on any rule that she authored a rules 
change, H. Res. 686, cosponsored by the gentleman from Florida (Mr. 
Hastings), the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. McGovern), and the 
gentlewoman from California (Ms. Matsui), senior members of the Rules 
Committee. The proposed change would have prohibited calling up a 
report by the Committee on Rules within 24 hours of presentation to the 
House.
  Mr. Speaker, I would refer my colleagues to H. Res. 686 of the 109th 
Congress.
  Mr. Speaker, I wasn't really surprised when the new Democrat majority 
didn't actually follow through on their commitments on the opening-day 
package. However, I just wonder what happened to the dedication of 
Democratic Members who once showed the rights of preserving those 
things which they think are good for Members to have time to know what 
the heck they're voting on.

                              {time}  1130

  And I believe today a 293-page bill with zero cosponsors, and even 
the gentleman who brought the bill to the Rules Committee last night 
said ``not my bill, it's the Senate's bill,'' I believe we should be 
careful what we are doing and allow 24 hours and follow the rules of 
the House.
  Mr. Speaker, at this time I would like to yield the balance of my 
time to the gentleman from California (Mr. Daniel E. Lungren).
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Serrano). The gentleman from California 
is recognized for 2\1/2\ minutes.
  Mr. DANIEL E. LUNGREN of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support 
of this point of order that goes essentially to the question of 
unfunded mandates contained in this bill. It is very difficult to 
determine exactly what this bill is since it is nearly 300 pages and we 
received it last night.
  Why is the question of unfunded mandates so important? Well, a great 
example would be exactly what is happening in my home State of 
California right now; the tremendous, tremendous pressure that my home 
State is under at the current time as a result of an unprecedented 
series of fires raging at the same time.
  And that brings into question of those Members of Congress from my 
home State who are traveling today back home with the President of the 
United States in order to assess the damage, to show that the Federal 
Government is fully involved in concert with State and local 
governments. And we would ask that the consideration of this rule and 
this bill be postponed not only on this point of order but because of 
the circumstances that are occurring in our State at this time.
  The majority leader said a little bit earlier that, well, things 
happen all the time and Members miss the opportunity to be here on the 
floor because they are back home, as if this is an everyday occurrence.
  My home State has lost almost 1,500 residences, 1,500 destroyed. We 
have somewhere between half a million and a million people evacuated. 
That is not an everyday occurrence. That is an exceptional 
circumstance. And it just is beyond the sense of the cordial nature of 
the collegiality of this House that ought to prevail for us to be 
considering this.
  Nearly 9,000 firefighters from all agencies on the fire lines of 
California over the last number of days. At least one confirmed death, 
18 fires in seven counties, almost a half a million acres destroyed, 
104 commercial structures destroyed.
  The fact is that we ought to come together and work together on 
issues as important as responding to the natural disaster that is 
occurring in California just as we should be coming together, working 
together to try to solve the problem of the unmet needs of poor 
children and their health in this country.
  Mr. Speaker, we have not been invited to the table to be able to 
present this. This point of order ought to be sustained technically on 
the question of unfunded mandates but really, philosophically on the 
fact that this is not the time for consideration of this particular 
rule or this bill.
  Ms. SLAUGHTER. Mr. Speaker, I feel compelled to point out this is not

[[Page H12029]]

about a point of order or unfunded mandates, but it is because this 
administration and many of the people in this House do not want to give 
health care to 10 million children.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. All time for debate has expired. The 
question is: Shall the House now consider the resolution?
  The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that 
the noes appeared to have it.
  Ms. SLAUGHTER. Mr. Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays.
  The yeas and nays were ordered.
  The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 216, 
nays 181, not voting 35, as follows:
