Announcement by the Acting Chair
The Acting CHAIR (during the vote). There is 1 minute remaining.
{time} 1221
Mr. DOLD changed his vote from ``aye'' to ``no.''
So the amendment was agreed to.
The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
Stated against:
Mr. FILNER. Mr. Chair, on rollcall 446, I was away from the Capitol
due to prior commitments to my constituents. Had I been present, I
would have voted ``no.''
(By unanimous consent, Mr. Doyle was allowed to speak out of order.)
Charities Real Winners from Congressional Baseball Game
Mr. DOYLE. Mr. Chairman, you all know that last night was the 51st
annual Congressional Quarterly-Roll Call baseball game for charity, and
I'm pleased to inform the House this morning that the Democratic team
won 18-5 last night.
Mr. Chairman, there are 21 outs in the game we play because we only
play seven innings. Cedric Richmond struck out 16 batters, so he didn't
leave much work for our infield. It's my understanding that if the
Republicans should win the Presidency, that Cedric is going to be
offered a Cabinet position just to get him out of here. Other notables,
Cedric also came within about 3 feet of hitting one out of the park at
National Field, too. Ben Chandler also had a fantastic game for our
team as co-MVP.
But, Mr. Chairman, the real winner last night was the Boys and Girls
Club
[[Page H4632]]
of Washington, D.C. and the Washington Literacy Council. This was a
record year for the congressional baseball game. We came close to
raising, for the first time ever, almost a quarter of a million dollars
for the charities.
I want to congratulate my good friend and Republican manager, Joe
Barton, on a hard-fought game. I can tell you, as someone who has
played in the game for 18 years now, I've been part of the highs and
part of the lows. I know what it's like to be on both ends of a winning
and losing ball game. But the Republicans were game opponents. They
came out there, and they did their best last night; but we were just a
little bit better than them. And now I yield to my good friend, Joe
Barton.
Mr. BARTON of Texas. Thank you, Congressman Doyle. There are a few
things you said, like most Democrats, stretching the truth a little
bit. You know, you said that there are only 21 outs in the game. Well,
we being very generous and open-hearted Republicans, we play a game
where you got about 31 outs because we were so friendly with the way we
didn't catch the ball.
For my Republican colleagues, there is good news and bad news. The
good news is we got nine times as many hits this year. We got 500
percent more runs this year. So in some ways, we did a lot better. But
the bad news is that the Democrats doubled the number of runs. And as
my 6-year-old son Jack told me on the way home after the game--he's a
T-ball expert--he said, Those guys didn't let up on you.
Mr. DOYLE. It's not in my nature, Joe.
Mr. BARTON of Texas. As some of you who actually went to the game
noticed, at about the fourth inning, Pete Sessions, our first base
coach, and Tim Scott, one of our pitchers, who are both on the Rules
Committee, had to leave to go back to Rules. Now, there's no truth to
the rumor that I had asked for an emergency rule asking Cedric Richmond
be declared ineligible for that game. There is no truth to that rumor.
Our guys played well. Our MVP, Pat Meehan of Pennsylvania, pitched in
relief real well. John Shimkus got two hits. Jeff Flake got a double
and knocked in two runs. Sam Graves stole several bases and played very
well out in the field. So as my 6-year-old son Jack also said, Mr.
Doyle, enjoy it while you can because it won't last forever; you can't
win every game.
But congratulations, and a job well done on both sides.
Mr. DOYLE. I think it is also notable that our House Chaplain, Father
Conroy, did get a chance to play in the game last night. We put him in
as a pinch runner. I think it's notable to say Father Conroy stole
home.
Mr. BARTON of Texas. He did, but that means that God owes us one.
Congratulations.
Mr. DOYLE. We want to give a round of applause to our Chaplain, too,
for playing in the game.
One final look: here's the trophy, guys.
Amendment Offered by Mr. Lankford
The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, 2-minute voting will continue.

The Acting CHAIR. The unfinished business is the demand for a

(Mr. Lankford) on which further proceedings were postponed and on which
the ayes prevailed by voice vote.

So the amendment was agreed to.
The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
Stated against:
Mr. FILNER. Mr. Chair, on rollcall 448, I was away from the Capitol
due to prior commitments to my constituents. Had I been present, I
would have voted ``no.''
The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will read.
The Clerk read as follows:
This Act may be cited as the ``Transportation, Housing and
Urban Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act,
2013''.
Mr. LATHAM. Mr. Chairman, I move that the Committee do now rise and
report the bill back to the House with sundry amendments, with the
recommendation that the amendments be agreed to and that the bill, as
amended, do pass.
The motion was agreed to.
Accordingly, the Committee rose; and the Speaker pro tempore (Mr.
Bishop of Utah) having assumed the chair, Mr. Thornberry, Acting 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.
5972) making appropriations for the Departments of Transportation, and
Housing and Urban Development, and related agencies for the fiscal year
ending September 30, 2013, and for other purposes, directed him to
report the bill, as amended by House Resolution 697, back to the House
with sundry further amendments adopted in the Committee of the Whole,
with the recommendation that the amendments be agreed to and that the
bill, as amended, do pass.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under the rule, the previous question is
ordered.
Is a separate vote demanded on any further amendment reported from
the Committee of the Whole? If not, the Chair will put them en gros.
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. BARBER. Mr. Speaker, I have a motion to recommit at the desk.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is the gentleman opposed to the bill?
Mr. BARBER. I am opposed to the bill in its current form.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to
recommit.
The Clerk read as follows:
Mr. Barber moves to recommit the bill, H.R. 5972, to the
Committee on Appropriations with instructions to report the
same back to the House forthwith with the following

{time} 1240
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Arizona is recognized for
5 minutes.
Mr. BARBER. Mr. Speaker, I'm offering this final amendment to assist
our veterans.
Mr. Speaker and my colleagues, I came before you last week to be
sworn in, and I spoke then about working together, working across the
aisle to ensure that my constituents and all of our constituents are
served by our very best work, rather than our partisan ambitions.
So I rise today in that same spirit. I rise today to ask that we come
together on an amendment to help those who most deserve our gratitude
and our assistance, the veterans who have bravely served to defend our
homeland. Today, we have an opportunity to take care of the veterans of
our military who, much to our collective shame, are homeless.
I remember the Vietnam War, and I remember how it divided our Nation.
But most of all, I remember the men and women who were sent to fight in
Vietnam, who often bore the brunt of the anger over the war itself.
Derision that should have been directed towards policymakers was,
instead, directed to those who had put their lives on the line for the
country we love. And we let them down.
We failed them when they came home, and now they, and other veterans,
a total estimated 70,000 of our Nation's homeless population--70,000.
That is, I'm sure we all agree, completely unacceptable. I don't
believe that anyone on either side of the aisle thinks that we should
allow 70,000 men and woman who wore our Nation's uniform to continue to
go without a home.
With my amendment, we will ensure that we have enough housing
vouchers to assist every one of those veterans. I submit, Mr. Speaker,
and esteemed colleagues, that this is the least we owe to our veterans.
There are over 100,000 veterans in my southern Arizona district. Let
me tell you about one of them. Christopher Murray, a disabled Operation
Desert Storm medic and combat veteran, came to our office to seek our
help when I served as Congresswoman Gifford's district director. A bank
was foreclosing on his home, and he had recently been diagnosed with
terminal cancer. Our staff was able to work to rescind the foreclosure
and allow Mr. Murray to stay in his own home. The simple dignity of
being in your own home during your final days is something we all too
often take for granted. We must not deny that dignity to those who
have, like Mr. Murray, served our country so well.
My amendment offers every one of us a chance to do what our office
did then: to ensure that our veterans get our help and have the simple
dignity of a roof above their heads. And my amendment does that while
reducing the deficit.
The passage of this amendment will not prevent passage of this
underlying bill. If the amendment is adopted, it will be incorporated
into the bill, and the bill will be immediately voted upon. And so,
though we may disagree on parts of the bill today, we have the
opportunity to speak up for the men and women who have fought for our
country.
And let us all be able to go home and look every veteran we represent
in the eye and know that we did the right thing by them and by their
homeless brothers and sisters.
I urge everyone to vote ``yes'' on this final amendment.
I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. LATHAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to the motion.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Iowa is recognized for 5
minutes.
Mr. LATHAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to the motion to
recommit.
The veterans homeless program is a very good program. We all
understand that. In this bill--and everybody should listen--we provide
$75 million for 10,000 new vouchers already. So there's no question
that we are meeting the need. This is the same as last year, and what
we have in the bill is the President's request. Let me say that again.
What we have in the bill for veterans vouchers is what the President
asked for.
I will also say, it's interesting at this time to bring this motion.
We have been through subcommittee markup, we have gone through full
committee markup, we have been on the floor of this House for 2 days,
and no one's ever raised this issue because everyone understood that we
had fully met the funding requirements for the veterans homeless
vouchers. So now it's an interesting time to bring this amendment or
this motion.
And I will tell the folks, if, in fact, we find out there is an
additional need before we get to conference, there isn't anybody in
this House that won't support it. But we have fully funded the needs.
This has been a full vetting process, and now, at the last moment you
come up with a motion that is not necessary because everyone supports
these vouchers.
This is a good, balanced bill, and I urge a ``no'' vote on the motion
to recommit.
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. BARBER. 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. 5972 and adoption of the conference
report on H.R. 4348.
The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 188,

Announcement by the Speaker Pro Tempore
The SPEAKER pro tempore (during the vote). There are 2 minutes
remaining.
{time} 1309
Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia changed his vote from ``yea'' to ``nay.''
So the bill was passed.
The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
Stated against:
Mr. FILNER. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall 450, I was away from the Capitol
due to prior commitments to my constituents. Had I been present, I
would have voted ``nay.''
Mr. GEORGE MILLER of California. Mr. Speaker, on June 29, 2012, I
inadvertently voted ``aye'' on rollcall no. 450. I intended to vote
``nay,'' and that reflects that I oppose H.R. 5972.
