PUBLIC LANDS SERVICE CORPS ACT
Amendment No. 2 Offered by Mr. Cole
Mr. COLE. Madam Speaker, I have an amendment made in order under the
rule at the desk.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:
Amendment No. 2 printed in part C of House Report 111-445
offered by Mr. Cole:
Page 20, line 14, after ``local'' insert ``, and tribal''.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 1192, the
gentleman from Oklahoma (Mr. Cole) and a Member opposed each will
control 5 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Oklahoma.
Mr. COLE. I yield myself such time as I may consume.
Madam Speaker, I rise today to offer what I believe is a
noncontroversial amendment that would amend the Public Lands Service
Corps Act to allow the Secretaries to enter into arrangements with
tribal governments in order to provide temporary housing for Corps
workers. This would be in addition to other Federal agencies, States,
local governments, or private organizations. Because tribal governments
are not included under the umbrella of any of the bill's other
categories, it is necessary to modify the bill's language to include
them.
Tribal governments enjoy a unique government-to-government sovereign
relationship with the United States. Tribal governments regularly enter
into similar agreements with a variety of Federal agencies and have
done so for over 200 years, so this change would not disturb precedent.
Throughout this bill, tribal lands are designated as a place for
young adults employed in this program to expend their efforts. It makes
sense, then, that these tribes would be able to house some of the
participants, thereby enhancing the experience of these workers. Not
only would this program connect participants to the land, but housing
in the tribal areas could enhance their cultural understanding and
awareness.
Indian Country is as diverse as America itself, so obviously housing
these individuals would not be ideal on some reservations. It is
important, though, to include willing tribal governments in this
program, as Native Americans are historically some of the best stewards
of the environment and because the potential for cultural interchange
in this program would certainly have great benefit for both the
national lands conservation workers and the tribes.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. GRIJALVA. Madam Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to claim the
time in opposition to the amendment, although I am not opposed to the
amendment.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the
gentleman from Arizona?
There was no objection.
Mr. GRIJALVA. Madam Speaker, this amendment would ensure that the
tribes would be among the governments and groups with whom the
Secretaries would contract to provide temporary housing for Corps
participants.
We support this amendment and appreciate the gentleman's efforts and
appreciate the correction of an oversight.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. COLE. I thank the gentleman very much, and I yield myself the
balance of my time.
Madam Speaker, I urge all Members to vote ``yes'' on this amendment.
Again, this is a simple modification that will allow Native American
tribes to enter into agreements to house the employees of the Public
Lands Service Corps just like Federal agencies, States, localities, and
private organizations.
This designation will give the Departments of Agriculture and the
Interior more housing options for these workers and will allow the
tribes to be more fully engaged in the program.
I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. GRIJALVA. Madam Speaker, I would also urge support for the
amendment and would also note that the Health Care Reform Act we are
expecting to take up tomorrow includes the most sweeping changes to
Indian health care in decades, long overdue.
I yield back the balance of my time.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the amendment offered by
the gentleman from Oklahoma (Mr. Cole).
The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that
the ayes appeared to have it.
Mr. GRIJALVA. Madam Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays.
The yeas and nays were ordered.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3 of House Resolution
1192, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman
from Oklahoma will be postponed.
Amendment No. 1 Offered by Mr. Bishop of Utah
Mr. BISHOP of Utah. Madam Speaker, I have an amendment made in order
under the rule.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:
Amendment No. 2 printed in part C of House Report 111-445
offered by Mr. Bishop of Utah:
Page 28, strike lines 8 through 13 and insert the following
(and redesignate the subsequent paragraphs accordingly):
``(1) in subsection (a), by striking `for each fiscal year'
and inserting `for each of fiscal years 2011, 2012, 2013,
2014, and 2015';''.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 1192, the
gentleman from Utah (Mr. Bishop) and a Member opposed each will control
5 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Utah.
Mr. BISHOP of Utah. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may
consume.
This is a very simple amendment, an easily understandable one. It
simply has two parts to it.
Number one is you continue the funding authorization that is in the
current law; and, number two, you add a 5-year sunset period in there.
As I said earlier when we were talking about the base bill, there is
nothing wrong with the things that we should be doing, but there is
something wrong when we refuse to periodically exercise our legislative
responsibility to review those things that we are currently doing.
We do it all the time. The Endangered Species Act has a sunset, FLPMA
has a sunset, The Elementary and Secondary Education Act has a sunset,
all of which are designed to have us come back here and reevaluate what
we are doing to make sure that our priorities have stayed the same.
There is nothing wrong with a sunset. In fact, it should be standard
fare in most of our pieces of legislation.
If we are now creating this bill, which replicates AmeriCorps one
more time, there is nothing wrong with saying let's review it every 5
years to make sure we are still going on the path we originally
determined.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. GRIJALVA. Madam Speaker, I rise to claim time in opposition to
the amendment.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Arizona is recognized for
5 minutes.
Mr. GRIJALVA. Madam Speaker, under existing law, funding for Public
Land Corps is capped at $12 billion annually. The bill before us, H.R.
1612, would remove this cap. The amendment offered by my colleague, Mr.
Bishop, would not only leave the cap in place, but also force the
program to sunset in 5 years.
Madam Speaker, as we all know, when the Republicans controlled this
Congress and the White House, they presided over the largest increase
in Federal spending in the history of this Nation. Amendments like this
one provide important clues as to why that happened. Are we honestly
worried about runaway spending on youth job, training, and education
programs? Is it imperative that we clamp down on efforts to put young
people to work repairing trails and visitor centers used by American
families when they visit in parks and public lands? Of course not. This
is the definition of being penny wise and pound foolish.
Republicans want to cap and sunset a popular, effective, bipartisan
jobs program; but when they controlled the entire Federal budget, they
spent like
[[Page H1758]]
sailors on leave. Big spending, runaway spending, all those analogies
fit. This is a poor attempt to appear fiscally responsible after years
and years of irresponsible free spending. This amendment is not
necessary. The fact that this program is already incredibly popular, an
enactment of H.R. 1612 would make it an even bigger success.
Many Members will continue pushing to put young people to work and
give them the job training they so desperately seek.
Some in the minority can continue coming to the floor and nipping at
the heels of these bills as we pass them. The American people will see
which Members are serious about addressing unemployment and the
condition of our parks and public lands, and which Members are just
trying to mask that legacy of irresponsible spending.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. BISHOP of Utah. Madam Speaker, once again, the process here is
that it is not about whether a program is popular or not. The
Endangered Species Act has popularity within certain groups. Obviously,
higher ed has popularity and elementary education has popularity. The
issue here is, do we adequately review these particular programs to see
where we are and what our priorities ought to be? And if we don't, we
have a tendency of losing those in the morass of the rest of the body,
the plethora of legislation, the plethora of organizations that we
simply have.
This does not technically sunset the program. It sunsets the
authorization for the appropriations for the program; the program goes
on until further action is taken by this particular body, but it is the
sequence that we use to try and see should we redo, should we continue,
should we at least reevaluate what we are supposed to be.
When we don't do those kinds of reevaluations, we abrogate
legislative responsibility, and we pass it on to an executive branch
which sometimes, well, always, has somewhat of a checkered response in
its oversight responsibilities in these particular areas.
Madam Speaker, this is the right thing to do. It is one of the things
that could easily turn a bill that is right now partisan into a
bipartisan bill so we don't have to look back and say what we did we
could have done so much better. I urge approval of the amendment.
I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. GRIJALVA. I urge defeat of the amendment and remind that a review
of this legislation is conducted every year by appropriators, and that
committees of jurisdiction are not prevented in this legislation from
conducting oversight of the programs. With that, let me urge defeat of
the amendment.
I yield back the balance of my time.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the amendment offered by
the gentleman from Utah (Mr. Bishop).
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. Pursuant to section 3 of House Resolution 1192, further
proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Utah will be
postponed.
Announcement By the Speaker Pro Tempore

proceedings will now resume on those amendments printed in part C of
House Report 111-445 on which further proceedings were postponed, in

Mrs. LUMMIS. Madam Speaker, this motion to recommit will strengthen
and improve the Public Lands Service Corps program by ensuring it is
focused on defined, priority activities and by adding safeguards
against misuse of program funds.
There are four clear and simple parts to this motion:
First is an important provision that will protect the young men and
women in the program from being subjected to registered sex offenders.
People as young as 16 years of age are eligible to participate; and for
many, a summer job with a Public Lands Corps project will be their
first time away from home for an extended period of time.
That is why this motion to recommit would require criminal background
checks for the adults in the program who come in contact with the
minors and would bar registered sex offenders from supervising these
young people. The protections included in this motion are taken
directly from those in the AmeriCorps program that we just passed in
this Congress a year ago.
Sex offenders should not be placed in positions of authority over, or
be allowed access to, young people in the Public Lands Corps, just as
they are prohibited in AmeriCorps. By voting for this motion to
recommit, you will prohibit sex offenders from participating in this
program and will be voting to provide basic protections for young
people.
Second, this motion restores the current act's emphasis on combating
the threats of beetle infestation and wildfires that are devastating
vast tracts of our public forest lands. Without this motion, urgently
needed efforts to combat this ongoing tragedy will receive no priority
whatsoever for funding.
The Healthy Forests Act passed the House with strong bipartisan
support, and yet this bill would erase the emphasis provided for
Healthy Forests Act activities in the existing law. This is the wrong
approach and a step backwards. Wildfire prevention and battling beetle
and other infestations should be a priority to protect local
communities and our national forests. These activities must be
continued, not eliminated, as the bill would do. Voting for the motion
to recommit will ensure this occurs.
Third, this motion would prevent misdirection of grant funds by
requiring that the projects funded actually make improvements to public
lands rather than being used for public advocacy or junkets like the
organic, micro-brewed beer bus tour we heard about from Mr. Bishop.
This program is billed as a means of connecting young people to our
public lands. So this motion very simply requires that funded projects
occur on public lands and improve these lands.
{time} 1215
Fourth and lastly, this motion would make any group that is engaged
in a lawsuit against the government ineligible to receive grant funds.
If you are going to sue the government, then you shouldn't collect
grant money from taxpayers. This will ensure that political advocacy
groups that sue the government are not supported by taxpayer dollars.
This motion to recommit includes four commonsense improvements to the
bill. I urge my colleagues to vote to prevent sex offenders from
getting access to young people through this program, to vote to restore
the bill to the priority status of wildfire prevention activities under
the bipartisan Healthy Forests Act, to vote to ensure grant funds are
spent and work actually on our public lands and not bus tours, and to
vote to prevent grant money from going to groups that file lawsuits
against the government.
I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on 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. The current bill would expand the public lands program
to a dozen agencies. By restricting the use of the money that would be
appropriated for the legislation, you effectively put three-quarters of
it into forest activities, thereby eliminating the opportunity to be
able to engage young people in a variety and a comprehensive look at
opportunities in our public lands and in our public lands agency.
The vast majority of the adults who participate in the program are
Federal employees. The oversight is their responsibility in the agency.
NPS rangers, forest rangers already get full background checks and full
clearance. They already get full FBI checks. The minority failed to
raise this issue during committees or at the Committee on Rules.
The other issue is the issue of due process. To prohibit an
individual or organization from being able to seek redress in a court
of law I think is not only undemocratic, but sincerely wrong.
The motion to recommit basically hamstrings the legislation, prevents
it from being effective. It is a hodgepodge of items thrown in that
were not before the Rules Committee and were not before the discussion
on the full committee. I would urge a ``no'' vote.
Let me point out thus far that only $7.5 million has ever been
appropriated for Public Land Corps, and all of that money was earmarked
for forest health. Under this legislation before us today, it is our
expectation that more funds will be available for all eligible
projects, forest health as well as other programs.
Finally, we never hear the end of it from the other side, the need to
take care of lands we own before we do anything else. This program does
precisely that. The motion to recommit hamstrings the program, reduces
its effectiveness, narrows the opportunity for young people in terms of
where they work and what training and what education they will receive,
duplicates the process by which people are checked that are going to be
working with young people in this program, and prevents and neglects
full redress under our laws for individuals and organizations. I think
those three items have nothing to do with the legislation. They are
there to hamper the legislation.
I would urge my colleagues to oppose the motion to recommit, to pass
this legislation, and give full, meaningful employment opportunity for
the young people that are right now suffering the most from a lack of
jobs and for the young people that most need a second chance. This
legislation is about opportunity. This legislation is about saving our
public lands and educating our young people. The motion to recommit is
about preventing that.
I would urge all my Members not to be duped into that presumption, to
go forward with the bill and pass the legislation as is, and oppose the
motion to recommit.
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.
