RED TAPE REDUCTION AND SMALL BUSINESS JOB CREATION ACT
Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, by direction of the Committee on Rules, I call
up House Resolution 741 and ask for its immediate consideration.
The Clerk read the resolution, as follows:
H. Res. 741
Resolved, That during further consideration of the bill
(H.R. 4078) to provide that no agency may take any
significant regulatory action until the unemployment rate is
equal to or less than 6.0 percent, as amended, pursuant to
House Resolution 783, the further amendment printed in
section 2 of this resolution shall be considered as adopted
in the House and in the Committee of the Whole.
Sec. 2. The amendment referred to in the first section of
this resolution is as follows: In section 102(b), strike
``employment'' and insert ``unemployment''.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman from North Carolina is
recognized for 1 hour.
Amendment in the Nature of a Substitute Offered by Ms. Foxx
Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that the resolution be
amended by the amendment I have placed at the desk.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the amendment.
The Clerk read as follows:
Strike all after the resolving clause and insert the
following:
That during further consideration of the bill (H.R. 4078)
to provide that no agency may take any significant regulatory
action until the unemployment rate is equal to or less than
6.0 percent, as amended, pursuant to House Resolution 738,
the further amendment printed in section 2 of this resolution
shall be considered as adopted in the House and in the
Committee of the Whole.
Sec. 2. The amendment referred to in the first section of
this resolution is as follows: In section 102(b), strike
``employment'' and insert ``unemployment''.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the
gentlewoman from North Carolina?
Mr. FRANK of Massachusetts. Mr. Speaker, reserving the right to
object, I think we should have an explanation here. The Clerk read the
technical language; but as I understand it, what happened was that the
bill that we were voting on yesterday and will vote on today has an
error and gets ``employment'' and ``unemployment'' confused and that
this is a bill that would correct the error in the bill that we debated
yesterday.
So I wonder, why do we now need a unanimous consent? Are we
correcting the correction? It's the old Latin phrase ``Quis custodiet
ipsos custodes?'' which means, ``Who guards the guardians?'' I guess
the question today is, Who corrects the correctors?
I would yield to the gentlewoman from North Carolina if she would
explain why we had to get a bill to make a correction and why we now
have to have a unanimous consent to probably correct the correction.
What is the error? I guess I should ask, What is the error of the day?
We know what yesterday's error was. What's today's error?
I yield to the gentlewoman.
Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, if I might respond to the gentleman from
Massachusetts, I appreciate his asking the question because it gives us
an opportunity to do a mea culpa. That's my ability to quote Latin this
morning in response to the gentleman from Massachusetts.
Yes, there was a very minor error in the rule that was passed the day
before yesterday, which was that two letters--the letter ``U'' and the
letter ``N''--were left off of one word.
{time} 1000
Mr. FRANK of Massachusetts. Reclaiming my time to say, if that's the
[[Page H5303]]
case, if the letters ``U'' and ``N'' were left out, knowing the
animosity on that side to the U.N., I can understand why
psychologically that would have happened.
I yield again to the gentlewoman.
Ms. FOXX. Then in preparing the correction for that, inadvertently
two numbers were reversed in the number for the resolution.
I don't have a Latin quote from Murphy's law, but I would say that it
appears as though, in the attempt to make one correction,
unfortunately, another mistake was made. It was purely clerical errors,
no nefarious intent.
We would like to move on in as expeditious a fashion as we possibly
can because we know we and our colleagues are looking forward to a
weekend of work at home, and we would like to move along and get this
accomplished so we can get to the important work, the underlying bill.
Mr. FRANK of Massachusetts. Mr. Speaker, proceeding on my
reservation, I appreciate the gentlewoman's mea culpa. She wasn't here
at the time. I would note that it is my predecessor, the late Reverend
Robert Drinan, S.J., who was better than I at responding to mea culpas.
I won't be able wholly to deal with that.
I do think this is more than simply a double error. It's a matter of
haste. I would take exception to the gentlewoman saying, well, it's
important that we get this done right away. I think, frankly, the
problem has been in these past couple of years, and to some extent
before, we haven't met frequently enough. I understand people would
like to get back to the districts they represent, but I think that this
is emblematic of not having enough time to deal with things.
We are going to be voting, I think, on 20-something amendments today,
important amendments on an important bill, that were debated for 10
minutes each late into yesterday evening, no proper airing of very
controversial subjects. Indeed, I think this is what happens when you
try to do too much too soon.
People on the other side were critical of some of the legislation we
passed. The financial reform bill, they said it was too encompassing.
But it went through a much more thorough process than this very
controversial, even more comprehensive bill that we're dealing with
today. The bill that we're dealing with today deals with every single
subject that comes before this Congress because it would put severe
restrictions on the adoption of regulations about financial reform,
about health, about the environment, about occupational safety, about
transportation safety.
Yes, it is a problem when you try to do too much too soon. I do not
impute any nefarious intent. Let me say under the House rules, you
can't impute nefarious intent, even if you think there is some, and I
don't think there is any. So for two reasons, I don't impute that. But
it does seem to me that this is an example of a flawed legislative
process. We're doing this bill, which is kind of a big message bill.
I know there's a lot of criticism on the other side of the United
States Senate, but the Senate passed an agricultural bill. This House
isn't even going to take one up, a very important agricultural bill.
The Senate passed a transportation bill. This House had to go along
with a conference without any chance to deliberate on it. The Senate
passed a postal reform bill to keep the postal service going, and this
House can't take it up.
When we can't do the basic legislation that we should do and we do
one of these broad message bills that's overly comprehensive and then
we make mistakes, I think it's worth some notice.
Mr. ANDREWS. Will the gentleman yield?
Mr. FRANK of Massachusetts. I yield to my colleague from New Jersey.
Mr. ANDREWS. I thank the gentleman and the gentlelady.
If I could speak on the gentleman's reservation, obviously there is
no nefarious intent. There's no question about that. I would like the
House to understand where we are procedurally.
It's my understanding that the House, yesterday, spent the better
part of the day debating a bill which said that regulation should not
take effect until unemployment hits 94 percent. Is that the gentleman's
understanding?
Mr. FRANK of Massachusetts. Apparently, that is what was in the bill.
They said it was a typo, that the letters ``U'' and ``N'' were left
out. I will say there is certain equality here. The day before
yesterday, the mistake was letters, and today it's numbers. I suppose
tomorrow it will be astrological signs.
I yield to the gentleman.
Mr. ANDREWS. I would assume that that flows from the fact that people
didn't read the bill, because we debated yesterday for most of the day
on a bill that erroneously said ``regulations can't take effect until
unemployment hits 94 percent.'' The intention evidently was ``until
employment hits 94 percent.''
Then it's my understanding that we find ourselves at the present
moment in a situation where the correcting rule that would have fixed
the word ``unemployment'' to be ``employment,'' itself, has an error in
it, that it refers to another bill by reference; is that correct?
And I yield to the gentlelady from North Carolina.
Mr. FRANK of Massachusetts. It's my time. If the gentleman wants me
to yield, I will yield.
First, I would note that the error was in the first substantive page.
This was not buried somewhere deep in the bill. Just to reinforce the
point that a lot of people didn't read the bill, that error was very
much in the early part.
Mr. ANDREWS. If the gentleman would yield, my understanding is it was
in the fourth paragraph of the bill.
Mr. FRANK of Massachusetts. Of the first substantive one.
If the gentleman wants me to, I would yield to the gentlewoman from
North Carolina.
Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, we are all human beings. How ironic it is that
our colleagues were here just a few minutes ago on the floor discussing
the tragedy in Aurora, Colorado. That was as great an example of what
great human beings and how bipartisan we can be in this Chamber. It's
as great a bipartisan effort as I've seen in a long time. We know what
to do as caring human beings, what to say in such situations. It's such
a great example of how this body can operate. That group was given 40
minutes to talk about a great tragedy.
Now we're engaging in a gotcha situation over an insignificant issue
for which we take the responsibility. I'm frankly embarrassed that the
tenor of the conversation is going in this direction after the
wonderful bipartisan effort we just saw on this floor. A mistake was
made, and then in attempting to correct the mistake, an extraordinarily
minor other mistake was made.
I would appeal to my colleagues on the other side of the aisle to
say: We are human beings. We know how to forgive mistakes. Neither of
these mistakes was made by a Member. We're quite willing to overlook
mistakes like this in the past. I think in the spirit of comity, in the
spirit that was established on this floor this morning, we should move
on, get to the work that the American people sent us here for, and
understand, as was quoted this morning by one of our colleagues, ``our
time is very precious.'' Don't waste it by playing gotcha games. Think
about what we discussed earlier.
Mr. Polis and I will debate this rule, and we'll do it in a spirit of
comity. That's the way I think we should be operating. Yes, we made a
mistake. Yes, a second mistake was made. We acknowledge that. We accept
it. Now we'd like to get on to the people's work.
Mr. FRANK of Massachusetts. First, as with regards to the tragedy, of
course we all come together. But the fact that we can celebrate tragedy
does not mean that we put aside, in a democratic body, our legitimate
differences. This is not simply a small mistake, but it is a small
mistake in a bill that is about as partisan as it gets.
To make a plea for bipartisanship with this excessively partisan bill
that is being put through in such a procedurally inappropriate fashion
with major concerns about every aspect of the Federal Government, given
10 minutes of debate at 9 o'clock and 10 o'clock at night to be voted
on, no, that's a mistake.
{time} 1010
Secondly, as the gentleman from New Jersey and I have pointed out, it
is not simply that a mistake was made, but
[[Page H5304]]
it's a mistake that would easily have been caught earlier if people had
read the bill.
And I stress this because when we did some of the other legislation--
financial reform, health care--there was constant repetition of the
argument on the Republican side ``You haven't read the bill. Nobody's
read the bill.'' Well, you haven't read this bill, apparently, Mr.
Speaker. At least not very many people have read it.
And blaming the staff, I never like to do that, because the staff
prepares things, but Members sign off on it.
So, yes, we will proceed to this debate, but we are talking here
about an indication, an overly broad bill given too little time for
consideration. People on the other side--Members, apparently, didn't
read it. And that is not a small point. It is symptomatic of where we
are.
I will yield briefly to my friend from New Jersey.
Mr. ANDREWS. I thank my friend for yielding.
I agree completely with the gentlelady that human mistakes are made,
but that is not what this is about. And certainly the House should
review----
Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, I withdraw my unanimous consent request.
The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Bass of New Hampshire). The request is
withdrawn.
The gentlewoman from North Carolina is recognized for 1 hour.
Ms. FOXX. For the purpose of debate only, Mr. Speaker, I yield the
customary 30 minutes to the gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Polis),
pending which I yield myself such time as I may consume.
During consideration of this resolution, all time yielded is for the
purpose of debate only.
General Leave
Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members have
5 legislative days to revise and extend their remarks.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the
gentlewoman from North Carolina?
There was no objection.
Ms. FOXX. To quote Rules Committee Chairman Dreier, ``We are here
playing out the 21st century version of the great Shakespearean play
`Much Ado About Nothing.'''
House Resolution 741 provides for the adoption of the amendment
referred to in the resolution which would correct the technical error
in H.R. 4078, the Red Tape Reduction and Small Business Job Creation
Act.
It's very unfortunate that I must present this rule to the House
today. The reason we are here is due to a typographical error. This
innocent mistake could have been quickly and easily corrected through a
unanimous consent agreement, but, tragically, the Democrat minority
could not resist this opportunity to attempt to score political points.
Not a day goes by that I don't hear from constituents disheartened by
the rigid partisanship emanating from Washington, D.C. This week, we
had an opportunity to demonstrate the kind of cooperation the American
people are craving without in any way compromising our principles. It's
a shame that the Democrats missed this opportunity, choosing, instead,
to force this exercise in futility, tying up this House unnecessarily.
There's not much more that needs to be said on this issue at this
point, Mr. Speaker, and I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. POLIS. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentlelady for the time.
The bill before us here, referencing H.R. 783, is the Thomasina E.
Jordan Indian Tribes of Virginia Federal Recognition Act of 2011. It is
a bipartisan bill, sponsored by the gentlemen from Virginia, Mr. Moran,
Rob Wittman, Bobby Scott, and Gerry Connolly.
My party did intend to withdraw the objection and allow the change to
proceed. Unfortunately, absent any change, we are still talking about a
change to the Thomasina E. Jordan Indian Tribes of Virginia Federal
Recognition Act of 2011.
This act extends Federal recognition to several tribes in Virginia
and establishes their relationship with the Federal Government. The
tribes that it establishes are the Chickahominy Tribe, the Chickahominy
Indian Tribe-Eastern Division, the Upper Mattaponi Tribe, the
Rappahannock Tribe, the Monacan Indian Nation, and the Nansemond Indian
Tribe.
This makes members of those tribes who apply and enroll eligible for
services and benefits provided by the Federal Government to federally
recognized Indian tribes. It also requires the Secretary of the
Interior to take the specified lands into trust for the benefit of
those tribes.
This bill does have bipartisan support, and I think it's a good thing
that we're taking up a bipartisan bill. We were willing to, again,
withdraw our objection and allow a change to be made. The only problem
now with the discussion of this bill is that the corresponding change
indicated in the resolution doesn't really make sense, as applied to
this bill. Again, this is a bill that establishes several tribes, and
yet a corresponding change is being made to the definition of the
unemployment rate, which I can't find in the bill.
So I would like to ask my colleague, Ms. Foxx, where in the bill is
the reference to the unemployment rate that is being changed in this
resolution?
Ms. FOXX. I believe that the Murphy's law that was operating on our
side of the aisle has skipped over, and the gentleman is referencing
the wrong bill.
Mr. POLIS. Reclaiming my time, this is the bill that is referenced in
the resolution that the Clerk read. I heard that. And I am here ready
to discuss the Thomasina E. Jordan Indian Tribes of Virginia Federal
Recognition Act of 2011, but I can't find the corresponding change that
this resolution makes.
I just would like to ask the gentlelady, where in the bill is the
unemployment reference in this Thomasina Indian Tribes recognition
bill?
Ms. FOXX. I believe, again, that the gentleman is referencing the
wrong bill. We are dealing with House Resolution 741 at this point, and
I believe the gentleman is on the wrong bill.
Mr. POLIS. Reclaiming my time, if I can ask the Clerk to read the
current resolution before us.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the Clerk will report the
resolution.
There was no objection.
The Clerk read the resolution.
Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, I think by having the Reading Clerk read this,
we can see, as I said before, that, unfortunately, it appears that the
mistakes have gone over to the other side of the aisle. As the
gentleman would see, he was quoting the wrong resolution. We are
dealing with changes to House Resolution 783.
Mr. POLIS. Reclaiming my time, again, looking at the THOMAS registry,
H.R. 783 is called the Thomasina E. Jordan Indian Tribes of Virginia
Federal Recognition Act.
Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker----
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Colorado controls the
time.
Mr. POLIS. But let us get on to it.
Again, the corresponding change does not exist in the spirit of
bipartisanship. I was informed that my party was willing to withdraw
their objection to a change that would have made a proper reference in
this resolution to a corresponding bill that made sense.
Absent that, the change does not make sense. I think it speaks to,
again, the broader issue of: Why the great rush on a bill that is not
an emergency bill by any sense of the word?
There are critical bills we face that we need to move quickly on. My
goodness, the Senate just passed the middle class tax cut. If the House
doesn't pass a corresponding middle class tax cut, taxes will increase
for tens of millions of American families on January 1. There should
be, likewise, some urgency around reining in our budget deficit and
balancing the budget. Likewise, there should be some degree of urgency
about creating jobs and ending the recession, putting people back to
work.
Here we have a bill, H.R. 4078, which, of course, is referenced under
either version--the corrected or noncorrected version of this
particular resolution--that is not a bipartisan bill. It's a bill that,
in Judiciary Committee, did not have any Democratic support.
{time} 1020
It is a bill that the President has indicated he does not support. It
is a bill that we have no indication from the Senate that they would
proceed with or pass. And I fail to understand the urgency of moving
forward so fast that we don't only make--that there is not
[[Page H5305]]
only a mistake that was made in the original bill, but there is also a
mistake apparently that was made in the correcting resolution, and
there seems to be some uncertainty about whether we are even talking
about a change to this bill or a Virginia tribe bill or an unemployment
definition.
And again, I would fully understand that if this was an emergency
situation that required this body to move forward on behalf of our
Nation. If this was a last-minute deal and something was expiring at
midnight, we would need to immediately correct that and move forward.
And I don't think there would be any games from either side because
that's for the importance of the country. But that's not the situation
that we are facing here today.
Now the American people, unfortunately, have grown to expect
inefficiency and ineffectiveness from the House of Representatives. But
this set of errors, this comedy of errors here today, is really just
icing on the cake.
The Republicans have put together a partisan, omnibus bill that they
later find out had a typo. Then there was an effort to correct the
typo, an effort that our side was willing to allow to move forward
after briefly discussing. And then inexplicably, the Republicans
decided not to correct the mistake. And now it is unclear whether we
are talking about a tribal recognition bill or a nonexistent bill, a
bill that has not been introduced. If there is no H. Res. 783, we are
referencing a nonexistent bill, unless it references H.R. 783 from a
previous session. But in any event, these matters need to be corrected
before we can proceed in any manner. This is an example of how the
House of Representatives is run of late.
There are many bipartisan, job-creating ideas that we can take up and
we should take up on behalf of the country.
Instead, we have a partisan approach that lacks bipartisan support,
an innocent error made in the bill, another innocent error made in
correcting the error to the bill. And that leaves us in a quandary,
frankly, because we are discussing a fix to a nonexistent bill that it
is hard to debate or talk about because how can one be for or against a
change to a nonexistent bill. And that puts all of us in a very
difficult situation.
I'm sure, Mr. Speaker, the American public, even more so, the dismay
that they show at this Congress, is only doubled and tripled, just
throwing up their arms and saying, How are you even talking about a
bill that makes reference to and changes a nonexistent bill which may
or may not be a Virginia tribal bill, an underlying bill that is a
partisan bill that confuses employment with unemployment?
So that's where we are, Mr. Speaker. We'll get through this together.
We'll move forward as a country, but we can do better.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, I just have to point out to my colleague
across the aisle that he has added a whole act to this comedy of
errors, a whole act.
I know that my colleague in his orientation must have learned the
difference between bills and resolutions. Even though our staff
attempted to help him and his staff understand this and save an
embarrassment, we are not dealing with a House bill; we're dealing with
House Resolution 783, which my colleague said does not exist. It is a
resolution, House resolution. That is different, Mr. Speaker, from a
House bill, which is an H.R., has an H.R. number. So, unfortunately,
again my colleague has compounded the situation.
Mr. Speaker, I would like to take my colleague's offer--I hope he
will fulfill his comment that they won't object to our getting this
matter straight and moving on this morning so that we can get to the
other business of the House. And with that, I reserve the balance of my
time.
Mr. POLIS. Prior to yielding to the gentlelady from Connecticut, I
just want to the ask the gentlelady from North Carolina, what is House
Resolution 783? We're having trouble locating it.
I yield to the gentlelady.
Ms. FOXX. That does not exist, Mr. Speaker.
Mr. POLIS. Reclaiming my time, again, in the absence of an actual
House Resolution 783, I thought perhaps it was an erroneous reference
to H.R. 783. Again, it is unclear what we are debating, but I know that
we have somebody here who wants to debate an important topic that is
critical to the country.
I am happy to yield 3 minutes to the gentlewoman from Connecticut
(Ms. DeLauro).
Ms. DeLAURO. Mr. Speaker, instead of debating whether we are going to
have a resolution to fix a resolution or a resolution to fix a bill,
what I want to urge is that what we do, that this House take up the
middle class tax relief package that the Senate passed yesterday. So I
rise to urge the House majority to bring to the floor the middle class
tax cut that was passed in the Senate yesterday.
Let me just take a quote from The Washington Post yesterday, the
headline: ``Republicans want to raise taxes on the poor. Why?''
The tax cut plan passed yesterday by the Democrats in the Senate and
supported by the President would provide tax cuts to 98 percent of
Americans and 97 percent of small businesses in this country. Failure
to pass this bill would mean 114 million middle class families would
see their taxes increase, including 1.4 million in my State of
Connecticut.
Yet, the House majority appears intent on holding these middle class
tax cuts hostage to further tax cuts for the wealthiest people in this
Nation. In fact, the House majority's reverse Robin Hood tax plan,
which failed in the Senate yesterday, would raise taxes on middle class
and working families in order to pay for even more breaks for the
wealthiest Americans.
The majority's tax plan is unconscionable. In order to pay for an
over $160,000 tax break for millionaires, it would allow tax cuts to
expire for 13 million working families and raise taxes on the most
vulnerable households in America.
The Republican proposal would significantly weaken the child tax
credit, leaving nearly 9 million families to lose an average of $854,
with a family with one full-time minimum wage earner and two children
seeing their credit drop far more drastically, from $1,812 to $267. As
a result, the families of 2 million children would be pushed back into
poverty.
In addition, the Republican proposal would weaken the earned income
tax credit, which supports low-income working families. This credit
kept 8.3 million people out of poverty last year. The proposal would
also prevent millions of families from getting help to pay for college
through the American Opportunity Tax Credit. And all to pay for more
tax breaks for the wealthiest families in this country.
This tax plan reveals the true colors of this House majority. They
say they do not want to raise taxes on Americans in this economy, but
their actions here speak louder than their rhetoric.
Again, a quote from an article yesterday in The New York Times:
Senate Republicans will press this week to extend tax cuts
for affluent families scheduled to expire January 1, but the
same Republican tax plan would allow a series of tax cuts for
the working poor and the middle class to end next year.
{time} 1030
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentlewoman has expired.
Mr. POLIS. I yield the gentlewoman an additional 30 seconds.
Ms. DeLAURO. There is a better way forward. Let's take up the bill
that was passed by the Senate, a bill that provides continued tax
relief for the vast majority of American families. Let's not hurt
working class families with children who are struggling to get by in
order to support tax breaks for the wealthiest few. Let's have this
House majority bring up the Senate-passed middle class tax plan.
Support tax relief for middle class and working families, and I thank
the gentleman.
Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, I would like to inquire of my colleague if he
believes that his side, in keeping with the theme of Shakespeare, has
extracted their pound of flesh this morning? If so, we are ready to
close.
Mr. POLIS. We have one remaining speaker.
Ms. FOXX. I will reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. POLIS. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to insert the text of
the amendment in the Record, along with extraneous material,
immediately prior to the vote on the previous question.
[[Page H5306]]
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the
gentleman from Colorado?
There was no objection.
Mr. POLIS. If we defeat the previous question, I will offer an
amendment to the rule to make in order an amendment which proposes that
Congress will not adjourn until the President signs middle class tax
cuts into law.
With that, I would like to yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from New
York (Mr. Tonko).
Mr. TONKO. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman from Colorado for
yielding time.
I would hope that the order of business on this floor is guided by
priorities, the most essential priorities that are calling for this
body to respond to the people of this great Nation, and in these
difficult economic times to do it with a degree of urgency. But what is
our order of business here today on the floor? Fixing a typo. That's
what we're doing here this morning. We're fixing a typo in an election-
year driven, politically motivated bill. But we are really wasting time
and playing games. You see, our families and businesses are calling out
for compromise, for confidence and for certainty. And this body has
utterly failed to answer that call.
Just yesterday, the other Chamber passed a bill to guarantee the
current tax rate for our middle class. If this bill fails to pass,
taxes will go up on nearly everyone in this country.
But instead of passing the Senate bill, an extension of tax rates
that nearly every single Member of this body supports, our order of
business is an attempt to pass a rule on the underlying bill for a
second time. Why? So that we can continue to hold the extension of
middle class tax cuts hostage to enable the richest amongst us to get
another Bush-era style tax handout.
Make no mistake. There is but a single roadblock in the way for the
middle class right now--and that's the majority in this House. The
other Chamber passed a bill. The President said he will sign that bill.
And if just one of every 10 Republicans in this body stands with our
side of the aisle, we can ensure certainty and confidence for our
middle class.
Instead, it looks like we are heading down the road of yet another
manufactured crisis. From government shutdowns to debt ceiling debacles
to highway bill holdups, this body has consistently fallen short over
the past year and a half.
So let's quit these games on the underlying bill. This is about more
than a typo. It's about priorities, and it's about values. And right
now, we must prioritize middle class tax cuts and provide the certainty
and predictability that our American families so desperately deserve
and need.
Ms. FOXX. I will continue to reserve, Mr. Speaker, the balance of my
time.
Mr. POLIS. I yield myself such time as I may consume.
Mr. Speaker, I didn't like this underlying bill in its original form.
I voted against several components of it on Judiciary Committee, and
it's a lost opportunity because there was real opportunity to do
bipartisan regulatory reform. Both parties agree with streamlining
government processes, reducing red tape, and helping important projects
move forward, but that was the path not taken.
Unfortunately, this body is moving forward in a different way now.
With the underlying flaw in the bill, I would imagine it would have
very little support from either side of the aisle--namely, prohibiting
agencies from promulgating regulation until employment reached, or
unemployment, reached 94 percent, which is nonsensical. But even this
new bill now, this correction to the bill, which corrects a nonexistent
House Resolution 783, which, it has been indicated, needs to be
changed. And there was an effort to do that, which was inexplicably
withdrawn. No one from my party indicated that they planned to object;
they simply reserved the right to object and find out what exactly was
going on.
We have found out what is going on. Apparently, the Republicans need
to change the resolution that is referenced in H. Res. 741. And I hope
they do so. At the very least, then, this bill, while bad policy, will
not be nonsensical as it is now, referencing a nonexistent bill. But
consideration of all of this is the equivalent of fiddling while Rome
burns.
Consideration of this rule and this bill and the change to the bill
and the change to the rule that changed the bill is all a major time
sink while the country has real needs, like a middle class tax cut,
like investing in infrastructure and like creating jobs.
The only thing preventing tax cuts for 98 percent of Americans and 97
percent of small businesses from going into effect now is this House of
Representatives. We should not hold these tax cuts hostage to a change
to a bill and a change to a rule that changes a bill that doesn't
exist. No--a change to a rule to a bill. Well, that's where we are
today in the U.S. House of Representatives, Mr. Speaker. Frankly, Mr.
Speaker, this country deserves better. I cannot support this wasteful
rule or bill.
I urge a ``no'' vote on the rule and the underlying bill, and I yield
back the balance of my time.
Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time.
We're faced here today with trying to correct a couple of very minor
errors that have occurred. But my colleague wants us to violate the
Constitution by bringing forth a bill from the Senate which the
Constitution clearly says is the responsibility of the House, and
legislation related to taxes must begin in the House, so I find it a
little unsettling that our colleagues have urged us to take up a bill
that they know would violate the Constitution. All we're dealing with
here are, again, some very minor clerical errors.
Mistakes happen. As silly and as embarrassing they are, but adults
take responsibility for their mistakes, and that's what we're doing
here. At the end of the day, we'll still pass a bill to cut down on a
bloated bureaucracy and to allow small businesses to flourish.
Amendment Offered by Ms. Foxx
Ms. FOXX. With that, Mr. Speaker, I move to amend the resolution with
the amendment I have placed at the desk.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the amendment.
The Clerk read as follows:
Page 1, line 5, strike ``783'' and insert ``738''.
The material previously referred to by Mr. Polis is as follows:
An amendment to H. Res. 741 Offered by Mr. Polis of Colorado
At the end, add the following new sections:
Sec. 2. It shall not be in order to consider a concurrent
resolution providing for adjournment or adjournment sine die
unless the House has been notified that the President has
signed a bill to extend for one year certain expired or
expiring tax provisions that apply to middle-income taxpayers
with income below $250,000 for married couples filing
jointly, and below $200,000 for single filers, including, but
not limited to, marginal rate reductions, capital gains and
dividend rate preferences, alternative minimum tax relief,
marriage penalty relief, and expanded tax relief for working
families with children and college students.
Sec. 3. Following consideration of the amendments printed
in part B of House Report 112-616 pursuant to House
Resolution 738, there shall be pending in the Committee of
the Whole an amendment described in section 4 as though it
were printed as the last amendment in such part. That
amendment shall be debatable for one hour equally divided and
controlled by a proponent and an opponent.
Sec. 4. The amendment referred to in section 3 is an
amendment proposing to add at the end of H.R. 4078 the text
of S. 3412 as approved by the Senate on July 25, 2012.
(The information contained herein was provided by the
Republican Minority on multiple occasions throughout the
110th and 111th Congresses.)
The Vote on the Previous Question: What it Really Means
This vote, the vote on whether to order the previous
question on a special rule, is not merely a procedural vote.
A vote against ordering the previous question is a vote
against the Republican majority agenda and a vote to allow
the opposition, at least for the moment, to offer an
alternative plan. It is a vote about what the House should be
debating.
Mr. Clarence Cannon's Precedents of the House of
Representatives (VI, 308-311), describes the vote on the
previous question on the rule as ``a motion to direct or
control the consideration of the subject before the House
being made by the Member in charge.'' To defeat the previous
question is to give the opposition a chance to decide the
subject before the House. Cannon cites the Speaker's ruling
of January 13, 1920, to the effect that ``the refusal of the
House to sustain the demand for the previous question passes
the control of the resolution to the opposition'' in order to
offer an amendment. On March 15, 1909, a member of the
majority party offered a rule resolution. The House defeated
the previous question and a member of the
[[Page H5307]]
opposition rose to a parliamentary inquiry, asking who was
entitled to recognition. Speaker Joseph G. Cannon (R-
Illinois) said: ``The previous question having been refused,
the gentleman from New York, Mr. Fitzgerald, who had asked
the gentleman to yield to him for an amendment, is entitled
to the first recognition.''
Because the vote today may look bad for the Republican
majority they will say ``the vote on the previous question is
simply a vote on whether to proceed to an immediate vote on
adopting the resolution . . . . [and] has no substantive
legislative or policy implications whatsoever.'' But that is
not what they have always said. Listen to the Republican
Leadership Manual on the Legislative Process in the United
States House of Representatives, (6th edition, page 135).
Here's how the Republicans describe the previous question
vote in their own manual: ``Although it is generally not
possible to amend the rule because the majority Member
controlling the time will not yield for the purpose of
offering an amendment, the same result may be achieved by
voting down the previous question on the rule . . . . When
the motion for the previous question is defeated, control of
the time passes to the Member who led the opposition to
ordering the previous question. That Member, because he then
controls the time, may offer an amendment to the rule, or
yield for the purpose of amendment.''
In Deschler's Procedure in the U.S. House of
Representatives, the subchapter titled ``Amending Special
Rules'' states: ``a refusal to order the previous question on
such a rule [a special rule reported from the Committee on
Rules] opens the resolution to amendment and further
debate.'' (Chapter 21, section 21.2) Section 21.3 continues:
``Upon rejection of the motion for the previous question on a
resolution reported from the Committee on Rules, control
shifts to the Member leading the opposition to the previous
question, who may offer a proper amendment or motion and who
controls the time for debate thereon.''
Clearly, the vote on the previous question on a rule does
have substantive policy implications. It is one of the only
available tools for those who oppose the Republican
majority's agenda and allows those with alternative views the
opportunity to offer an alternative plan.
Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time, and I
move the previous question on the amendment and on the resolution.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on ordering the previous
question on the amendment and on the resolution.
The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that
the ayes appeared to have it.
Mr. POLIS. Mr. Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays.
The yeas and nays were ordered.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XX, the Chair
will reduce to 5 minutes the minimum time for any electronic vote on
the question of adoption of the amendment and adoption of the
resolution.
The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 235,
nays 183, not voting 13, as follows:

So the amendment was agreed to.
The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
The Acting CHAIR (Mr. Gingrey of Georgia). There being no further
amendments, under the rule, the Committee rises.
Accordingly, the Committee rose; and the Speaker pro tempore (Mr.
Simpson) having assumed the chair, Mr. Gingrey of Georgia, Acting Chair
of the Committee of the Whole House
[[Page H5318]]
on the state of the Union, reported that that Committee, having had
under consideration the bill (H.R. 4078) to provide that no agency may
take any significant regulatory action until the unemployment rate is
equal to or less than 6.0 percent, and, pursuant to House Resolution
738, he reported the bill, as amended by that resolution and House
Resolution 741, back to the House with sundry further amendments
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 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
Ms. SUTTON. Mr. Speaker, I have a motion to recommit at the desk.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is the gentlewoman opposed to the bill?
Ms. SUTTON. I am opposed in its current form.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to
recommit.
The Clerk read as follows:
Ms. Sutton moves to recommit the bill H.R. 4078 to the
Committee on Oversight and Government Reform with
instructions to report the same back to the House forthwith,
with the following amendment:
Add, at the end of the bill, the following:
TITLE VIII--MISCELLANEOUS
SEC. 801. EXEMPTION FOR DISCLOSURE OF OFFSHORE BANK ACCOUNTS,
MIDDLE INCOME TAX RELIEF, AND PROTECTIONS FOR
CONSUMERS.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, nothing in
this Act or the amendments made by this Act shall impose any
limitation on agency action that would--
(1) require the disclosure of a foreign financial account,
including a bank account;
(2) implement tax cuts for middle class American families;
(3) protect against Asian Carp and other invasive species;
(4) ensure the safety of prescription drugs; or
(5) provide foreclosure relief and curb predatory practices
by bank and non-bank subprime lenders.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman from Ohio is recognized for
5 minutes in support of her motion.
Ms. SUTTON. Mr. Speaker, at the outset, I want to be clear that this
final amendment does not kill the underlying bill. It only improves it.
So regardless of whether you intend to vote for the legislation or
against it, you will have the opportunity to do so today.
In a little more than a week, we will be getting back to our
districts for the August work period. Some of us will have the
opportunity to sit down with seniors to talk about the issues that
affect them. Some will visit job sites or national parks. Regardless of
where you go, there are basic protections that ensure the safety and
the security of the people you'll meet with.
If you represent a district with a high foreclosure rate, there are
commonsense protections that stand between your constituents and
predatory subprime lenders. If you represent a district that borders
one of our Great Lakes, like I do, there are basic protections that aim
to keep invasive species, like Asian carp, out of our Great Lakes,
protections that not only preserve and protect our natural species but
thousands of jobs and the futures of the people from Illinois to New
York. If you represent a district that has even one senior, as we all
do, there are critical protections to ensure that their prescription
drugs are safe and that the care they get must be safe as well.
In a week, we will all face our constituents, constituents who rely
on these protections to stay safe, to stay healthy, and to hold onto
their share of the American Dream. What this motion to recommit does is
to allow us to recommit ourselves to those essential protections for
the people whom we serve.
It ensures, while middle class Americans are paying their fair share
and are playing by the rules, that those at the very top can't simply
hide their money away in foreign bank accounts, because those who do
well in America should do well by America. It also ensures that we have
the protections we need to protect the financial futures of our middle
class families and that we have cuts for them, for the middle class
families--those who really need it.
It ensures that those protections that hold invasive species at bay,
while allowing future generations to enjoy America's environmental
wonders, will be upheld. It ensures that our prescription drugs for our
mothers and fathers, our sons and daughters, and our grandchildren are
safe and that home ownership is still the American Dream, not a
subprime nightmare.
If you vote for this final amendment to the bill today, you will be
able to honestly tell your constituents that you have voted to protect
them, to protect their families, and to protect their futures.
Mr. Speaker, the days left in this Congress are quickly coming to an
end. What we have here is an opportunity to accomplish what our
constituents sent us here to do nearly 2 years ago--to put politics
aside and to put our neighbors first. For the good of our country, let
us join together in this moment to pass these commonsense protections.
I encourage my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on this commonsense,
balanced final amendment to the bill. Then we can immediately vote on
final passage.
I yield back the balance of my time.
{time} 1220
Mr. KELLY. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong opposition to this motion.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is the gentleman opposed to the motion?
Mr. KELLY. Yes.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Pennsylvania is
recognized for 5 minutes.
Mr. KELLY. Mr. Speaker, in 2011, we came to this House for one
reason, and it was a motion to recommit. We recommitted to the people
of the United States that we were going to change the way business was
done in this town. This motion to recommit is a joke. This is
ridiculous.
Let me tell you about what it's like to be in the real world and not
inside the Beltway. I operate a business that my father started back in
1953, after being a parts picker in a General Motors warehouse, going
to fight the war, and coming back home. I called our body shop manager
today, Jason Sholes. He's been with me for 26 years. I said to Jason,
``I need to know the cost of tape, Jason.'' He goes, ``What are you
talking about, Mike?'' I said, ``In our body shop, when people wreck
their car and bring their car in, I know we have to use a lot of
tape.'' He said, ``Oh, my goodness. Has the cost of tape gone crazy. We
use two types of tape, Mike. We use green tape. Green tape is the tape
we use when we have to use water on a job, and we have to make sure
that the tape sticks, and that's up to $4 a roll.''
I said, ``Tell me about the other tape.'' He said, ``The other tape
is yellow tape.'' I said, ``Tell me about the yellow tape.'' He said,
``That's when we're going to paint a car, and we don't have to use the
green tape. The yellow tape is a little less expensive. It's only $2 a
roll. But, Mike, I've got to tell you that we're spending $160 a month
on tape, and it's really making me wonder about whether I'm doing the
right thing.''
I said, ``Jason, we're spending about $2,000 a year on green and
yellow tape?'' He said, ``Yes, we are.'' I said, ``Jason, do you know
what the cost of red tape is?'' He goes, ``I have no idea. We don't use
red tape.'' I said, ``Yes, we do. It's $1.75 trillion.'' That's the
cost of red tape.
I called my friend Don Shamey at NexTier Bank. I said, ``Don, we've
know each other since we were kids. Our wives know each other, and our
kids grew up together. We do a lot of things together. I've done
business with you for 40 years. You're right across the street from me.
Don, tell me about the new regulations.'' He said, ``Mike, if you take
a look at it, there's 1,100 pages now that are the definition of
whether you're a qualified borrower or not.'' I said, ``It only took
1,100 pages for the government to determine what the definition of a
qualified borrower is? Are you kidding me? Do you mean to sit here and
say that you are serious?''
We renovated a ballpark in my hometown with a guy named Tom
Burnatowski, a veteran. It took us a couple of million dollars to
renovate
[[Page H5319]]
our ballpark. The day we were going to open up, I got a call at the
dealership where he said, ``Mike, could you come down.'' I said, ``Why?
What's going on.'' He said, ``We're having trouble with the occupancy
permit.'' I went down to see. I said, ``What's the problem?'' He said,
``Come into the men's room. Let me show you what the problem is.'' I
said, ``You know, we have 1,500 people that want to come and see the
opening ball game.'' He said, ``But we've got a major problem. The
mirrors in the restroom are a quarter of an inch too low. So you can't
possibly open that ballpark.''
You want to know the price of regulation? You want to talk about the
thousands and thousands of pages that we put on the backs of the job
creators? You want to talk about creating jobs in America? When you
want to see a Nation that doesn't want to participate but wants to
dominate in the world market, then let them rise. Take the heavy boot
off the throat of America's job creators and let them breathe.
The jobs we are talking about are not red jobs or blue jobs; they're
red, white, and blue jobs. They are not Democrat jobs or Republican
jobs or independent jobs or libertarian jobs; they are American jobs.
If you want this country to thrive and not just survive, then please
start playing the game by the rules and stop this ridiculous mockery of
what it is that we do here in this town. We are so out of touch with
the American people.
Do you know what all this does? It adds layer, after layer of cost,
and that cost is ultimately paid for by the American consumer. You want
to have more revenues? Then let the tide rise for all boats. Let us be
able to not only survive, but to thrive.
This is not a left or right issue, this is an American issue. I urge
my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to rise today and vote for
H.R. 4078. Let's let America get back to work.
With that, 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.
Ms. SUTTON. Mr. Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays.
The yeas and nays were ordered.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XX, the Chair
will reduce to 5 minutes the minimum time for any electronic vote on
the question of passage.
The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 181,
nays 234, not voting 16, as follows:
