CORRECTING THE ENROLLMENT OF H.R. 3360
Mr. CUMMINGS. Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and agree to
the concurrent resolution (H. Con. Res. 289) directing the Clerk of the
House of Representatives to make a technical correction in the
enrollment of H.R. 3360.
The Clerk read the title of the concurrent resolution.
The text of the concurrent resolution is as follows:
H. Con. Res. 289
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That in the enrollment of the bill (H.R. 3360)
to amend title 46, United States Code, to establish
requirements to ensure the security and safety of passengers
and crew on cruise vessels, and for other purposes, the Clerk
of the House of Representatives shall make the following
correction: In section 4(b), strike ``Coast Guard and
Maritime Transportation Act of 2004'' the second place it
appears and insert ``Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation
Act of 2006''.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from
Maryland (Mr. Cummings) and the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr.
LoBiondo) each will control 20 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Maryland.
General Leave
Mr. CUMMINGS. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members
may have 5 legislative days within which to revise and extend their
remarks and to include extraneous material on H. Con. Res. 289.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the
gentleman from Maryland?
There was no objection.
Mr. CUMMINGS. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
Mr. Speaker, H. Con. Res. 289 simply corrects a drafting error in the
Senate amendments to H.R. 3360. Specifically, the Senate amendments
intended to combine required Coast Guard reports on fisheries
enforcement plans and on efforts to prevent the incursion of foreign
fishing vessels into U.S. waters.
However, the Senate amendments incorrectly referred to section 804 of
the Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Act of 2004 rather than the
act of 2006, which is the correct cite for the requirement that the
Coast Guard submit biannual reports on the service's progress in
detecting and interdicting incursions by foreign fishing vessels into
the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone.
H. Con. Res. 289 merely corrects the legal cite, but does not make
any other changes to the Senate amendments to H.R. 3360.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. LoBIONDO. Mr. Speaker, this is purely technical. We have no
objection.
I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. CUMMINGS. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the
gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Cummings) that the House suspend the rules
and agree to the concurrent resolution, H. Con. Res. 289.
The question was taken; and (two-thirds being in the affirmative) the
rules were suspended and the concurrent resolution was agreed to.
A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
