So the amendment was agreed to.
The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
Stated for:
Ms. BORDALLO. Mr. Chair, I was absent from the Chamber today,
Thursday, April 15, 2010, due to the travel schedule for my return to
my district on account of official business. Had I been present for the
rollcall votes taken today in the Committee of the Whole House on the
State of the Union on the amendments that were offered to H.R. 4715,
the Clean Estuaries Act of 2010, I would have voted as follows: ``aye''
on the amendment offered by Ms. Shea-Porter of New Hampshire (rollcall
vote 207).
The CHAIR. There being no further amendments, under the rule, the
Committee rises.
Accordingly, the Committee rose; and the Speaker pro tempore (Mr.
Weiner) having assumed the chair, Mr. Cuellar, Chair 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. 4715) to amend
the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to reauthorize the National
Estuary Program, and for other purposes, pursuant to House Resolution
1248, he reported the bill back to the House with sundry amendments
adopted by the Committee of the Whole.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under the rule, the previous question is
ordered.
Pursuant to House Resolution 1248, the question on adoption of the
amendments will be put engros.
The question is on the amendments.
The amendments were 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
Mr. JORDAN of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, I have a motion to recommit.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is the gentleman opposed to the bill?
Mr. JORDAN of Ohio. I am.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to
recommit.
The Clerk read as follows:
Mr. Jordan of Ohio moves to recommit the bill H.R. 4715 to
the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure to report
the same back to the House forthwith with the following
amendments:
Page 13, strike lines 1 through 3, and insert the
following:
``(1) In general.--There is authorized to be appropriated
to the Administrator an amount as determined under paragraph
(3) for each of fiscal years 2011 through 2016 for--
Page 14, line 2, strike the closing quotation marks and the
final period.
Page 14, after line 2, insert the following:
``(3) Amount of authorization.--In any fiscal year
following a fiscal year in which there is no national
deficit, the amount authorized under paragraph (1) shall be
$50,000,000. In any fiscal year following a fiscal year in
which there is a national deficit, the amount authorized
under paragraph (1) shall be $35,000,000.''.
Mr. JORDAN of Ohio (during the reading). Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous
consent that we dispense with the reading.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the
gentleman from Ohio?
Mr. OBERSTAR. I object. I only just received the amendment. I want to
read it.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Objection has been heard.
The Clerk will continue.
The Clerk continued to read.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Ohio is recognized for 5
minutes.
Mr. JORDAN of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, I have a simple motion that every
American can understand. It says: Stop the out-of-control spending
until we balance the budget and get our fiscal house in order. People
are worried. They are worried about what this Congress is doing to
their children's futures, and rightly so.
This year, the Federal Government will take in $2.1 trillion but will
spend $3.6 trillion. Let me say that again. It will take in $2.1
trillion and spend $3.6 trillion. Only in Congress does that math make
sense. That's like a family
[[Page H2612]]
making $50,000 a year but spending $80,000. If that were your family,
Mr. Speaker, making 50 and spending 80, you'd do something about it.
You'd cut back. You'd tighten the belt. You'd make responsible
decisions. But not this Congress. No, not this Congress. This Congress
is spending like there is no tomorrow.
This year, the Federal Government will run a deficit of at least $1.4
trillion. That's 10 percent of GDP. Any economist in the world will
tell you that deficits shouldn't be more than 2 or 3 percent of GDP.
What are we spending money on today? Estuaries. That's right.
Estuaries. Most Americans have probably never heard of the term.
With our Nation over $12 trillion in debt, borrowing money from China
every day to pay our bills, taking in $2.1 trillion, spending $3.6
trillion, record deficits as far as the eye can see, not dealing with
the energy crisis, not dealing with the entitlement crisis, replacing
freedoms with mandates, replacing private-sector growth with 16,000 new
IRS agents, what are we spending people's money on today, on Tax Day?
We are spending it on estuaries, a massive increase in funding for
estuaries.
Mr. Speaker, come on. Americans are taking to the streets all across
the country today, Tax Day, dumping tea in the harbor and standing up
against Congress, which is bankrupting their country. What are the
Democrats offering them? More spending on estuaries.
Mr. Speaker, before Congress even considers doubling the funding for
this program or any other nonessential spending, we must first balance
the Federal budget and begin paying down some of the money we borrowed
from China and other countries. Estuaries can wait, Mr. Speaker, but
fiscal responsibility cannot.
All this motion says is to keep the spending at what it was last
year. After all, a lot of families, a lot of taxpayers, a lot of small
business owners have been living on last year's spending levels, maybe
even something less.
I would ask my colleagues this, Mr. Speaker:
How bad does it have to get before we can begin to take that modest
first step and say maybe estuaries can get by on the same amount of
money they were on last year? That's all this motion says. All this
motion says is let's just keep them where they were last year.
A ``yes'' vote on this motion tells the people you represent back
home, the people who are paying their taxes today, who elected us and
entrusted us to protect their hard-earned money: Yes, I agree that
Congress must set priorities. Yes, I agree that we should forgo such
increases until the budget is balanced. Yes, I respect you, the
taxpayer, enough to say that I can hold the line on spending even if it
means only $35 million for estuaries this year.
Mr. Speaker, I had a coach in high school who was a chemistry and
physics teacher--the toughest teacher in the school and the toughest
coach in the State. Every single day in class, every single day in the
practice room, he would talk about discipline. He had a great
definition. He said that discipline is doing what you don't want to do
when you don't want to do it. Basically, that meant doing it his way
when you'd rather do it your way. It meant doing things the right way
when you'd rather do them the convenient way, the easy way.
Discipline is the quality we need in this Congress today. The easiest
thing to do in the world is to spend money, particularly someone else's
money.
Really simply, this amendment says: Let's have the discipline to say
``no'' to spending. Let's have the discipline to say let's do the right
thing today. Let's not do the convenient thing. Let's hold the line on
spending and treat taxpayers with a little respect on this day of all
days. Treat them with a little respect.
I urge a ``yes'' vote.
I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. OBERSTAR. I rise in opposition to the motion.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Minnesota is recognized
for 5 minutes.
Mr. OBERSTAR. I am sorry the gentleman from Ohio doesn't have an
estuary in his district, but his State is a Great Lakes State. The
Great Lakes, as the Nation's fourth seacoast, designated by an act of
Congress in 1970, are also designated in this bill as a place of
estuaries, of freshwater estuaries.
I am sorry that the gentleman doesn't understand that a great many
people do understand what an estuary is. Three-fourths of our
population live along areas that are designated as estuaries.
Estuaries, the meeting place of fresh and salt water--where new forms
of life are created, where new forms of fish and aquatic plants are
created--are the richest places on Earth for the creation of maritime
life. Estuaries are the common heritage of all Americans. There is a
national interest in their protection and in their enhancement.
{time} 1645
I am quite surprised at this amendment because in committee
consideration no issue was raised about the funding level. Make no
mistake about it. The purpose of this amendment is to cut $15 million
out of the authorization level.
Mr. JORDAN of Ohio. Will the gentleman yield?
Mr. OBERSTAR. I do not have time to yield to correct all the
gentleman's mistakes.
In the consideration of the bill, I yielded to Mr. Petri. ``We
support H.R. 4715,'' said he. He yielded to the ranking member of the
Coast Guard Subcommittee, Mr. LoBiondo, cosponsor of the bill, and he
concluded, saying, ``I urge all Members to support H.R. 4715, and I
yield back.''
There was no discussion in committee. No amendment was filed with the
Rules Committee to cut the funding level. The ranking member of our
committee, Mr. Mica, who designates himself proudly as a conservative,
is supporting this bill.
This is a jobs bill.
Go ahead and laugh. Go ahead and laugh. It shows you don't understand
much, Mr. Speaker, those who are laughing. Twenty-eight million jobs
depend on coastal areas of the United States, $185 billion in
commercial and recreational fishing from estuaries of the United
States, 2 million jobs at stake. Three-fourths of all commercial
fishing depend on estuaries. Three-fourths of the U.S. commercial fish
catch and 80 percent of the recreational fish catch occurs in the
estuarine areas of the United States, and annual fish harvests have
declined by $1.5 billion every year for the last 20-plus years because
of impaired estuaries.
This is an investment in America's future. This is an investment in
the young people of this country for whom the gentleman proclaims to
propose cutting $15 million. This is an investment. This is not an
entitlement. This is an authorization to compete with other programs
for the funding necessary to protect our estuaries, which are the
beginning places of new life and the homes of millions of jobs and new
forms of life and the future of America.
Vote down this pernicious motion.
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.
Recorded Vote
Mr. JORDAN of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, I demand a recorded vote.
A recorded vote was 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 the bill, if ordered; and the motion to
suspend the rules and adopt House Resolution 1242, if ordered.
The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 192,
noes 214, not voting 24, as follows:
