``aye'' to ``no.''
Messrs. JACKSON of Illinois and MILLER of North Carolina changed
their vote from ``no'' to ``aye.''
So the amendment was agreed to.
The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
The CHAIR. The question is on the amendment in the nature of a
substitute, as amended.
The amendment was agreed to.
The CHAIR. Under the rule, the Committee rises.
Accordingly, the Committee rose; and the Speaker pro tempore (Mr.
Serrano) having assumed the chair, Mr. Jackson of Illinois, 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.
3534) to provide greater efficiencies, transparency, returns, and
accountability in the administration of Federal mineral and energy
resources by consolidating administration of various Federal energy
minerals management and leasing programs into one entity to be known as
the Office of Federal Energy and Minerals Leasing of the Department of
the Interior, and for other purposes, and, pursuant to House Resolution
H. Res. 1574, reported the bill back to the House with an amendment
adopted in the Committee of the Whole.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under the rule, the previous question is
ordered.
The question is on the amendment in the nature of a substitute, as
amended.
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
Mr. CASSIDY. Mr. Speaker, I offer a motion to recommit.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is the gentleman opposed to the bill?
Mr. CASSIDY. I am, in its current form.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to
recommit.
The Clerk read as follows:
Mr. CASSIDY moves to recommit the bill H.R. 3534 to the
Committee on Natural Resources with instructions to report
the same back to the House forthwith with the following
amendment:
Strike section 231 and insert the following:
SEC. 231.--TERMINATION OF MORATORIA ON OFFSHORE DRILLING.
Notwithstanding, any other provision of this Act, the
mortorium set forth in the Minerals Managment Service Notice
to Lessees No. 2010-N04, dated May 30, 2010, the decision
memorandum from the Secretary of the Interior to the Director
of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation, and
Enforcement regarding the suspension of certain offshore
permitting and drilling activities on the Outer Continental
Shelf, dated July 12, 2010, and any suspension of operations
issued in connection with the moratorium or the decision
memorandum, shall have no force or effect.
Mr. RAHALL (during the reading). Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent
the reading of the motion be dispensed with.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the
gentleman from West Virginia?
There was no objection.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Louisiana is recognized
for 5 minutes in support of his motion.
Mr. CASSIDY. I yield to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Brady).
Mr. BRADY of Texas. Mr. Speaker, with millions of American families
out of work, Republicans will fight for American energy workers and
their jobs. The question is will Democrats fight alongside us?
The drilling moratorium is killing American energy jobs now. It needs
to end now. The rigs are already leaving overseas. So are the jobs,
equipment, and the capital. Workers are being laid off, small
businesses are struggling to survive, and they won't. The Melancon
amendment doesn't save these jobs, these families, these small
businesses whose livelihoods are at risk. It does not end the current
moratorium that's devastating us now. The Republican motion to recommit
will.
It is the only vote on this floor where each lawmaker can stand up
and fight for these American energy workers right now.
Mr. CASSIDY. Mr. Speaker, the gulf oil spill has been terrible for
the gulf
[[Page H6559]]
coast. But as bad as it has been, the Federal Government's moratorium
on deepwater drilling can be worse. And the tragedy of it is that it
actually is not going to measurably improve safety.
Now, it's not me saying that, it's the entity, the National Academy
of Engineering, eight of them, the President appointed them and asked
them to approve and to look at his plan. They issued a statement after
the blanket moratorium. These are the petroleum engineers. ``A blanket
moratorium is not the answer. It will not measurably reduce risk. The
tragedy has very specific causes. The blanket moratorium will have the
indirect effect of harming thousands of workers and further impact
State and local economies. We would in effect be punishing a large
swath of people who were and are acting responsibly in providing a
product the Nation needs. Overcome emotion with fact.''
{time} 1750
What does that mean? Overcome emotion with fact. We're all angry.
Everybody in here is angry at BP. Everybody in here in some way wants
to punish those responsible.
On the other hand, it's not Big Oil being punished. It's not BP. It
is the workers. It is the blue collar welders, roustabouts. It is the
service industry. It is the caterers. They are the ones who are going
to be punished.
And, by the way, the BP fund to recompense them is only $100 million.
Estimated wages lost are $700 million. It is not going to come close to
covering it. These people don't want an unemployment check. They want a
paycheck.
In case you think I overestimate, these are the most conservative
estimates of the economic impact. Over 8,000 jobs lost in the gulf
coast, 12,000 nationwide, $700 million in lost wages, $2.1 billion in
lost economic activity in the gulf coast, and nearly $2.7 billion lost
nationwide.
Now, it's not just the President's engineers; it's also the
President's cochairs of his Presidential commission. Bob Graham said--
former Senator from Florida--There is a disconnect between Washington
and the gulf coast in the sense of urgency needed in winding down the
moratorium.
Bill Reilly said, Questions were raised by witnesses. Unanimously,
they opposed the moratorium, even among the fishermen.
Now, the other Reilly quote was, It is not clear to me why it should
take so long to reassure oneself about safety considerations in those
rigs.
So we have the engineers. We have the cochairmen of the Presidential
commission. We also have a Federal judge. When the Federal judge threw
out the first moratorium, he said, The administration simply cannot
justify the immeasurable effect on the plaintiffs, the local economy,
the gulf region.
So we've heard from engineers. We've heard from the cochair. We've
heard from a Federal judge. Most importantly, let's hear from the
families.
Charlie Melancon earlier spoke movingly of families in his district
who fear they will lose it all because of this moratorium. There are
people who have walked up to me and said, Hey, I would be with you but
my concern is my district won't understand. These people don't fear a
district. They fear dissolution of their financial health. Think about
it. These are blue-collar people who made decisions about buying a
house, about buying a car. They're going to have a 6-month interruption
in income. Can any one of those families tolerate 6 months of lost
wages?
I ask you to overcome emotion with fact. Agree with the engineers,
agree with the cochair, agree with the Federal judge, but, most
importantly, agree with the families. End this moratorium now.
I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. RAHALL. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to the motion to
recommit.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from West Virginia is
recognized for 5 minutes.
Mr. RAHALL. As the gentleman from Louisiana knows from our debate and
work in committee on this, this gentleman from West Virginia is not
against lifting moratoria when it comes to the production of domestic
energy resources. What I care about is safety; the safety of our most
valuable resource, which is the worker him- or herself. That's what I
care about, whether it's oil and gas or whether it's coal mining.
Mr. CASSIDY. Will the gentleman yield?
Mr. RAHALL. I will yield to the gentleman from Louisiana whose
amendment just passed that does lift the moratorium when it comes to
the protection and safety of our workers. His amendment passed with
votes from votes from your side of the aisle. Mr. Melancon cares about
the fishermen, the jobs of everyone along his coast, and I yield to him
at this point.
Mr. MELANCON. Thank you, Mr. Rahall.
I thank the 216 people that stood by me to try and protect what is
best and loved by the people of south Louisiana and the entire State.
Yes, 80 percent of the people in Louisiana believe that they are
directly or indirectly affected by this moratorium, directly and
indirectly affected by the spill. So what do we do?
If we have it the way of the other side, we will send rigs back out,
not inspect them, the hell with it. Next thing we know, we're back
where we started.
My amendment provides for safety inspection in accordance with a
rolling stock, to get people back to work, to make sure that America
has energy, to make sure the people of my district and the State of
Louisiana have jobs, good jobs, and we can continue the prosperity that
we have had in the past.
Mr. RAHALL. I yield to the chairman of the Education and Labor
Committee, Mr. Miller of California.
Mr. GEORGE MILLER of California. Mr. Speaker, Members of the House,
if we accept this moratorium, it's to suggest that we as a Congress of
the United States of America have learned nothing since the Deepwater
Horizon blew up in a tragic accident. We have learned nothing in the
last hundred days to simply say we're going to go back to business as
usual. Mr. Melancon has given us a way to lift the moratorium, but to
do it because the things that we have learned in our congressional
investigations, that the Coast Guard has learned and others.
This is to suggest that we would not redesign the levees around
Louisiana; we would just give them the money. Because we did that for
30 years, we have to take lessons learned. In every tragedy, the
lessons are learned. And you have businesspeople all along the gulf who
are losing millions of dollars in business. You have fishers who are
losing their livelihood, and the question is will they ever get to come
back. And if we do it right in lifting the moratorium, yes, they will
get to come back. We will have energy development, and we will have a
cleaner gulf than we have today because we learned something.
You take this vote home to your constituents and you're telling them
you have learned nothing in the last hundred days about the operation.
We're talking about an oil company that blew up a rig that killed 15
people in Texas City, refused to fix it afterwards, and paid $87
million in fines. We're talking about a company that disregarded their
workers. We have got to change those laws so this doesn't happen again.
And we're on our way, thanks to Mr. Melancon and others.
Mr. RAHALL. Mr. Speaker, what we have seen in the gulf is just plain
wrong. We don't know what was the final cause of this explosion and
this tragedy, but we know that something went wrong and we know that
there are other scenarios that exist today where something may yet go
wrong again. We hope not. We pray to God it does not.
But the fact is we need new safety requirements, and we cannot lift
any moratoria in any domestic production of energy without ensuring
that the new safety requirements are met. In this pending legislation,
we do that. We don't just trust what the industry gives the oil rig
safety inspectors. We say you have to verify. The safety inspectors
have to verify what previously had just been given to them by the
industry to submit as a final safety report.
So what we're doing in this legislation is not only providing ethics
requirements for safety inspectors, proper training for safety
inspectors, but we're also saying let's do a better job than we have in
the past. And that's what this whole effort is about in the CLEAR Act.
[[Page H6560]]
I would urge my colleagues to reject this moratoria MTR because of
what we have already adopted again in a bipartisan fashion. We've
adopted the gentleman from Louisiana's amendment to lift the moratorium
as long as safety requirements are met.
So if you support lifting the moratoria to protect oil workers' jobs,
which everybody says they do, I hope that we'll do it and ensure that
jobs are safe, and we do that by rejecting this MTR and passing this
bill.
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 noes appeared to have it.
Recorded Vote
Mr. CASSIDY. 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 H.R. 3534, if ordered, and the motion to
suspend the rules and pass H.R. 5892.
The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 166,
