  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:
