So the amendment was rejected.
The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment in the nature of a
substitute, as amended.
The amendment was agreed to.
[[Page H5222]]
The Acting CHAIR. Under the rule, the Committee rises.
Accordingly, the Committee rose; and the Speaker pro tempore (Mrs.
Miller of Michigan) having assumed the chair, Mrs. Emerson, 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. 6082) to officially replace, within the 60-day Congressional
review period under the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, President
Obama's Proposed Final Outer Continental Shelf Oil & Gas Leasing
Program (2012-2017) with a congressional plan that will conduct
additional oil and natural gas lease sales to promote offshore energy
development, job creation, and increased domestic energy production to
ensure a more secure energy future in the United States, and for other
purposes, and, pursuant to House Resolution 738, she 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.
Is a separate vote demanded on any amendment to the amendment
reported from the Committee of the Whole?
If not, 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.
{time} 1410
Motion to Recommit
Ms. SLAUGHTER. Madam Speaker, I have a motion to recommit at the
desk.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is the gentlewoman opposed to the bill?
Ms. SLAUGHTER. In its present form, I am.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to
recommit.
The Clerk read as follows:
Ms. Slaughter moves to recommit the bill H.R. 6082 to the
Committee on Natural Resources with instructions to report
the same back to the House forthwith with the following
amendment:
Add at the end the following:
SEC. __. PROHIBITION ON ISSUANCE OF LEASES WITH RESPECT TO
IRAN AND SYRIA.
No lease may be issued under this Act to any person
(including any successor, assign, affiliate, member, or joint
venturer with an ownership interest in any property or
project any portion of which is owned by such person) that is
in violation of--
(1) the Iran Sanctions Act of 1996 (50 U.S.C. 1701 note) or
the Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability, and
Divestment Act of 2010 (22 U.S.C. 8501 et seq.); or
(2) the Syria Accountability and Lebanese Sovereignty
Restoration Act of 2003 (22 U.S.C. 2151 note).
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman from New York is recognized
for 5 minutes.
Ms. SLAUGHTER. Madam Speaker, I rise to introduce a final amendment
to today's bill.
The amendment is simple in its wording but powerful in its purpose.
My amendment simply states that no company that violates the Iran
Sanctions Act or the Syria Accountability Act will be allowed to profit
from the oil leases in today's bill. The amendment will help to ensure
that no company that helps to prop up these oppressive and
destabilizing regimes can benefit from today's legislation.
Currently, the United States Government is imposing sanctions on 13
companies who maintain essential business dealings with Iran. In
addition, the threat of sanctions is hanging over other companies that
continue to do business there. In total, more than 16 oil companies
remain ``active'' in Iran. These companies are defying the
international community and helping to empower an Iranian regime that
exports terrorism around the world, seeks nuclear weapons capability,
and threatens the security of the entire Middle East--especially our
ally and friend, Israel.
With the threat from Iran continuing to grow, it is vital that
Congress respond with prudent and effective action. My amendment will
help to isolate Iran, promote stability in the Middle East, and protect
Israel.
With regard to Syria, existing sanctions are already helping increase
the pressure on the murderous regime of President Assad. Thanks to the
sanctions, Syrian oil production had dropped by 60,000 barrels per day
by 2011 as companies cut ties with the government and exited the
country. Despite this pressure, more action is needed, and my amendment
will be a responsible next step to ensure that nothing in this bill
will empower President Assad's continued war against the Syrian people.
Madam Speaker, for the last 2 years, we have put the needs of special
interests, especially Big Oil, before the needs of our country, our
people, and our allies. Over the last 2 years, the majority has voted
more than 140 times to benefit Big Oil, and today should not be another
one. Instead of passing the bill to create jobs, we've proposed yet
another bill to serve Big Oil interests.
If we're going to move forward with such a giveaway, it is vital that
they ensure that no profit derived from today's legislation goes to
prop up nations who would harm our national security interests or those
of our ally, Israel. It is up to this Congress on both sides of this
aisle: Will we sacrifice the interests of Israel and the Syrian people
by passing legislation that could benefit two of the most oppressive
and destabilizing regimes in the world, or are we going to stand with
our friend and ally, Israel, and protect the people of Syria?
With both the Iranian and Syrian regimes threatening our allies and
thousands of innocent people in the Middle East, I believe it's high
time the United States Congress moves to further protect Israel and the
people of Syria.
Once again, if my amendment is adopted, the House will proceed to
final passage of the bill. I urge all of my colleagues to support this
important amendment today--and it is an important amendment--and put
our national interests before the wishes of Big Oil.
I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. HASTINGS of Washington. Madam Speaker, I rise in opposition to
the motion to recommit.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes.
Mr. HASTINGS of Washington. Madam Speaker, this is not a foreign
policy bill. This is a bill about American jobs and American energy.
And these subjects that are brought up in this motion to recommit are
covered in other areas, as they should be. For example, the Iranian
issue is covered in standalone bills, as it properly should be. But
this continues to be an attempt of the other side to change the subject
away from American energy and American jobs.
The President is talking about American energy, and I have said on a
number of occasions that the President likes to give speeches, but
virtually every time when he does on offshore energy, his actions are
180 degrees from his rhetoric. So this bill that we have under
consideration today, H.R. 6082, challenges the President to live up to
his rhetoric.
In his speeches, the President says, ``Yes, we can,'' ``hope and
change,'' ``move forward,'' ``believe in America.'' Well, to those who
say that the House and the Senate should not act on a 60-day review of
the President's plan, I say, ``Yes, we can.''
{time} 1420
Let's just not hope for better, let's move the country forward. Let's
change President Obama's plan to a real pro-energy, pro-jobs offshore
plan that truly believes in America. Oppose this motion to recommit,
vote for the bill, and vote against the suspension.
I yield back the balance of my time.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the previous question is
ordered.
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.
Ms. SLAUGHTER. Madam Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays.
The yeas and nays were 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. 6082, if ordered; and suspension of
the rules and passage of H.R. 6168 and H.R. 459.
The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 179,
nays 240, not voting 12, as follows:
