                  Announcement by the Acting Chairman

  The Acting CHAIRMAN (during the vote). Members are advised that there 
are 2 minutes remaining in this vote.

                              {time}  1356

  Mr. LoBIONDO changed his vote from ``aye'' to ``no.''
  So the amendment was rejected.
  The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
  Stated for:
  Mr. WELDON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall No. 16 for the Capito 
amendment to H.R. 3524 I voted ``no'' but my intent was to vote 
``aye''. I ask that the official Record reflect that my intent was to 
vote ``aye'' on the Capito amendment.
  The Acting CHAIRMAN. 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. 
Pastor) having assumed the chair, Mr. Holden, 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. 3524) to 
reauthorize the HOPE VI program for revitalization of severely 
distressed public housing, and for other purposes, pursuant to House 
Resolution 922, he reported the bill back to the House with an 
amendment adopted by the Committee of the Whole.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under the rule, the previous question is 
ordered.
  Is a separate vote demanded on any amendment to the amendment 
reported from the Committee of the Whole? If not, the question is on 
the amendment.
  The amendment 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. Graves

  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I offer a motion to recommit.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is the gentleman opposed to the bill?
  Mr. GRAVES. Yes, sir, in its current form, I am.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to 
recommit.
  The Clerk read as follows:

       Mr. Graves moves to recommit the bill H.R. 3524 to the 
     Committee on Financial Services with instructions to report 
     the same back to the House forthwith with the following 
     instructions:
       In clause (xiii) of paragraph (2)(C) of the matter proposed 
     to be inserted by the amendment made by section 7(a) of the 
     bill, strike ``individuals who are not ineligible'' and all 
     that follows through the end of the clause and insert the 
     following: ``households consisting of or including an 
     individual who served on active duty in the Armed Forces of 
     the United States for a period of not less than 90 days and 
     who was discharged or released from such duty under 
     conditions other than dishonorable. For purposes of this 
     clause, the term `families whose housing needs are difficult 
     to fulfill' shall not include any individuals, or any 
     categories of individuals, who have been released from a 
     prison, jail, or other correctional facility of the Federal 
     Government, a State government, or a unit of general local 
     government, notwithstanding whether such individuals are not 
     ineligible for occupancy in public housing pursuant to 
     subsection (m)(2), have not been arrested for or charged with 
     any crime during any specific period, or are individuals for 
     whom housing is a critical need.''.

  Mr. GRAVES (during the reading). Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent 
that the motion be considered as read.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Missouri?
  There was no objection.

                              {time}  1400

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Missouri is recognized 
for 5 minutes.
  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, the Republican motion to recommit on this 
legislation is as straightforward as it is reasonable. All you have to 
do is read it and see exactly what it does. As written, it would simply 
amend the legislation forthwith to give greater priority for housing 
decisions under the HOPE VI program to give men and women who have 
served our country on the battlefield rather than men and women who 
have acted in violation of our laws.
  Mr. Speaker, under current law, public housing authorities may use 
discretion when determining whether or not it is in the interest of the 
community to provide public housing to certain felons, including those 
convicted of drug-related criminal offenses. This bill under 
consideration on the floor, however, incentivizes public housing 
authorities when applying for HOPE VI grant funding to give convicted 
felons preferential treatment.
  There is absolutely, absolutely no reason why we should be 
encouraging local public housing authorities to place convicted felons 
at the head of the line, especially when so many, so many of the 
American veterans live today without adequate housing. We should be 
encouraging public housing authorities to assist these men and women 
first and foremost and in a manner that recognizes their tremendous 
service to this country.
  Veterans have acute housing needs, Mr. Speaker. According to the most 
recent Veterans Affairs reports, there are over 310,000 homeless 
veterans. The frustrating part about this is we are talking about our 
veterans. These are people that served our country, were willing to 
give their lives for our country, and I think they deserve to be heard 
on this bill.
  The National Association to End Homelessness estimates that veterans 
represent roughly a quarter of all homeless people in America. My home 
State of Missouri has an estimated 4,800 homeless veterans and ranks 
fourth in the Nation of the highest percentage of veterans that are 
homeless, according to a recent report.
  Mr. Speaker, I can talk about figures all day long; I can go on and 
on about this and that. The bottom line is we are talking about 
veterans. These are

[[Page H332]]

men and women who have served their country, and they served their 
country with great distinction. They are willing to put their lives on 
the line, and now they aren't at the front of the list? We would put 
somebody who has knowingly, knowingly violated our laws ahead of 
somebody who has stood up for this Nation?
  To me, Mr. Speaker, it's very frustrating. The motion to recommit 
includes veterans in the category of those considered hard to house. It 
helps address the pressing housing needs of America's past and present 
heroes, Mr. Speaker.
  There are some out there, Mr. Speaker, that hold our veterans in 
contempt. That is a fact. There are some that do it, but I don't, and 
we don't. We don't hold our veterans in contempt, Mr. Speaker, and they 
should be at the front of the line.
  I encourage my colleagues to support this legislation, because that 
is what it does. Towards that end, I encourage every one of us, every 
one of us in this Chamber to support this motion so that men and women 
who step forward in the service of our country and in defense of our 
freedom and in defense of that flag, Mr. Speaker, are the ones given 
preferential treatment. They should be the ones getting preferential 
treatment, not folks who have violated our laws. If there is any 
preferential treatment to be given, it ought to be given to those 
folks.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. FRANK of Massachusetts. Mr. Speaker, I rise to speak on the 
motion to recommit.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the gentleman from 
Massachusetts is recognized for 5 minutes.
  There was no objection.
  Mr. FRANK of Massachusetts. Mr. Speaker, first of all, I am suffering 
a little disorientation because I didn't get the anti-immigration 
amendment. So I hope the gentleman from Georgia isn't ill and was not, 
therefore, able to present it.
  On this amendment, I congratulate the minority. They make a 
reasonable point. Yes, I think that we should have included the 
veterans. To that extent, I think this is worth supporting. I do not 
understand why this has to come at the expense of people who had 
committed an offense and have come out. I had thought there was these 
days some sense that rehabilitation was a goal. As the gentlewoman from 
California will explain, we are talking about a very narrow category of 
ex-offenders. We certainly don't believe that when you come out of 
prison, you ought to then become homeless if you have otherwise 
satisfied society's reasonable demands. But I do not oppose this 
because, I agree, we should be including the veterans.
  I will say this. What this does is two things: it says include the 
veterans, but then excludes people who have been sentenced, served a 
term, et cetera, and have shown that they met all these conditions. We 
will be going forward with this bill with the Senate, and there is no 
need to put these two issues against each other. So I believe that we 
can accept this with full support then for the veterans, but then not 
have the other issue foreclosed. I would ask the gentleman, I will 
yield to him, if he would clarify this.
  Sadly, one of the problems we have had with some veterans, because of 
problems that were created, some veterans have committed offenses. I 
would ask the gentleman, what about a veteran, and this has two parts, 
yes to veterans, no to people who are ex-offenders. I would ask the 
gentleman: How should the housing authority on this treat a veteran ex-
offender, assuming again it was an honorable discharge. Someone who was 
honorably discharged, later got into some trouble, completed all the 
term, et cetera, how should the housing authority under this deal with 
a veteran who's an ex-offender?
  And I will yield to the gentleman.
  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I was having a hard time hearing what the 
gentleman was saying.
  Mr. Speaker, we are after the veteran here. They will take 
precedence.
  Mr. FRANK of Massachusetts. Mr. Speaker, I take back my time to 
repose the question. I am sorry the gentleman had trouble hearing me. 
He may not be sorry he had trouble hearing me, but now I will try to be 
more clear. We say in this ``preference for veterans.'' We agree with 
that. But it also denies that, not preference, but listing in this 
category for ex-offenders. What does the housing authority do if a 
veteran who was an ex-offender who has served his or her term, 
satisfied all the conditions, how do you treat under this amendment a 
veteran who's an ex-offender?
  I will yield to the gentleman.
  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, it's going to give preference to that 
veteran. If they are a veteran, then they are going to get it. Vote for 
the motion and show the support for the veterans.
  Mr. FRANK of Massachusetts. Mr. Speaker, I am sorry the gentleman 
doesn't want to answer the question. I still don't understand. It seems 
to me the housing authority is entitled to guidance. What do you do if 
it's a veteran who's an ex-offender?
  I will yield to the gentleman.
  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, they can still receive assistance; they 
won't get preferential treatment. Support the veterans.
  Mr. FRANK of Massachusetts. Mr. Speaker, the gentleman has got that 
mantra that he keeps repeating. He can send out a taped phone call with 
that and not take up our time.
  We are, I assume, going to back this, but I think there is this 
ambiguity. So I will have to say we will have to deal with this 
further. I would not want to give to the veterans with one hand what 
you might take away with another one. We do know some veterans, not 
entirely through their fault, given the conditions in which they serve, 
problems that occur, some of them become offenders. So we will deal 
with that going forward, and I would assume people would want to vote 
for this because we should have included veterans. But I will say, 
especially after my inability to get an answer, the question of ex-
offenders will remain an open question and we'll have to deal with that 
going forward.
  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 ayes appeared to have it.


                             Recorded Vote

  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I demand a recorded vote.
  A recorded vote was ordered.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XX, the Chair

the question of passage.

  So the bill was passed.
  The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
  Stated for:
  Mr. BACA. Mr. Speaker, I was unable to be present for today's floor 
votes due to personal business. If I were present I would have voted 
``aye'' on Final Passage of H.R. 3524, the HOPE VI Improvement and 
Reauthorization Act of 2007.
  Stated against:
  Mr. WELDON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall No. 18 for final 
passage to H.R. 3524 I voted ``aye'' but my intent was to vote ``no.'' 
I ask that the official Record reflect that my intent was to vote 
``no'' on final passage.
