uncommitted balances and unobligated, committed balances the
quarterly reports shall separately identify the amounts
attributable to each source year of appropriation from which
the balances were derived. For balances that are obligated,
but unexpended, the quarterly reports shall separately

budgetary resources available to such department or agency:
Provided, That the authority to transfer funds between
appropriations accounts as may be necessary to carry out this
section is provided in addition to authorities included

available to promote the sale or export of tobacco or tobacco

[[Page H1745]]
the reduction or removal by any foreign country of

Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives shall include in
all such data releases, language similar to the following
that would make clear that trace data cannot be used to draw
broad conclusions about firearms-related crime:
(1) Firearm traces are designed to assist law enforcement
authorities in conducting investigations by tracking the sale
and possession of specific firearms. Law enforcement agencies
may request firearms traces for any reason, and those reasons
are not necessarily reported to the Federal Government. Not
all firearms used in crime are traced and not all firearms
traced are used in crime.
(2) Firearms selected for tracing are not chosen for
purposes of determining which types, makes, or models of
firearms are used for illicit purposes. The firearms selected
do not constitute a random sample and should not be
considered representative of the larger universe of all
firearms used by criminals, or any subset of that universe.
Firearms are normally traced to the first retail seller, and
sources reported for firearms traced do not necessarily
represent the sources or methods by which firearms in general
are acquired for use in crime.
Sec. 515. (a) The Inspectors General of the Department of
Commerce, the Department of Justice, the National Aeronautics
and Space Administration, the National Science Foundation,

grants or contracts for which funds are appropriated by this
Act, and shall submit reports to Congress on the progress of
such audits, which may include preliminary findings and a
description of areas of particular interest, within 180 days
after initiating such an audit and every 180 days thereafter
until any such audit is completed.
(b) Within 60 days after the date on which an audit
described in subsection (a) by an Inspector General is
completed, the Secretary, Attorney General, Administrator,
Director, or President, as appropriate, shall make the
results of the audit available to the public on the Internet
website maintained by the Department, Administration,
Foundation, or Corporation, respectively. The results shall
be made available in redacted form to exclude--
(1) any matter described in section 552(b) of title 5,
United States Code; and
(2) sensitive personal information for any individual, the
public access to which could be used to commit identity theft
or for other inappropriate or unlawful purposes.
(c) A grant or contract funded by amounts appropriated by
this Act may not be used for the purpose of defraying the
costs of a banquet or conference that is not directly and
programmatically related to the purpose for which the grant
or contract was awarded, such as a banquet or conference held
in connection with planning, training, assessment, review, or
other routine purposes related to a project funded by the
grant or contract.
(d) Any person awarded a grant or contract funded by
amounts appropriated by this Act shall submit a statement to
the Secretary of Commerce, the Attorney General, the
Administrator, Director, or President, as appropriate,
certifying that no funds derived from the grant or contract
will be made available through a subcontract or in any other
manner to another person who has a financial interest in the
person awarded the grant or contract.
(e) The provisions of the preceding subsections of this
section shall take effect 30 days after the date on which the
Director of the Office of Management and Budget, in
consultation with the Director of the Office of Government
Ethics, determines that a uniform set of rules and
requirements, substantially similar to the requirements in
such subsections, consistently apply under the executive
branch ethics program to all Federal departments, agencies,

Sec. 516. (a) None of the funds appropriated or otherwise

of Commerce and Justice, the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration, or the National Science Foundation to acquire
an information technology system unless the head of the
entity involved, in consultation with the Federal Bureau of
Investigation or other appropriate Federal entity, has made
an assessment of any associated risk of cyber-espionage or
sabotage associated with the acquisition of such system,
including any risk associated with such system being
produced, manufactured or assembled by one or more entities
that are owned, directed or subsidized by the People's
Republic of China.
(b) None of the funds appropriated or otherwise made
available under this Act may be used to acquire an
information technology system described in an assessment
required by subsection (a) and produced, manufactured or
assembled by one or more entities that are owned, directed or
subsidized by the People's Republic of China unless the head
of the assessing entity described in subsection (a)
determines, and reports that determination to the Committees
on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the
Senate, that the acquisition of such system is in the
national interest of the United States.
Sec. 517. None of the funds made available in this Act
shall be used in any way whatsoever to support or justify the
use of torture by any official or contract employee of the
United States Government.
Sec. 518. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law or
treaty, none of the funds appropriated or otherwise made
available under this Act or any other Act may be expended or

Federal Regulations (International Trafficking in Arms
Regulations (ITAR), part 121, as it existed on April 1, 2005)
with a total value not exceeding $500 wholesale in any
transaction, provided that the conditions of subsection (b)
of this section are met by the exporting party for such
articles.
(b) The foregoing exemption from obtaining an export
license--

Export Declaration or notification letter required by law, or
from being otherwise eligible under the laws of the United
States to possess, ship, transport, or export the articles
enumerated in subsection (a); and
(2) does not permit the export without a license of--
(A) fully automatic firearms and components and parts for
such firearms, other than for end use by the Federal
Government, or a Provincial or Municipal Government of
Canada;
(B) barrels, cylinders, receivers (frames) or complete
breech mechanisms for any firearm listed in Category I, other

(c) In accordance with this section, the District Directors
of Customs and postmasters shall permit the permanent or
temporary export without a license of any unclassified

Canada or return to the United States, or temporary import of
Canadian-origin items from Canada for end use in the United
States or return to Canada for a Canadian citizen.
(d) The President may require export licenses under this
section on a temporary basis if the President determines,
upon publication first in the Federal Register, that the
Government of Canada has implemented or maintained inadequate
import controls for the articles specified in subsection (a),

in the escalation of a conflict in another nation. The
President shall terminate the requirements of a license when
reasons for the temporary requirements have ceased.

The National Security Act of 1947; USA PATRIOT Act; and the
laws amended by these Acts.
Sec. 522. If at any time during any quarter, the program
manager of a project within the jurisdiction of the

believe that the total program cost has increased by 10
percent, the program manager shall immediately inform the
respective Secretary, Administrator, or Director. The
Secretary, Administrator, or Director shall notify the House

Motion to Concur
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will designate the motion.
The text of the motion is as follows:
Mr. Rogers of Kentucky moves that the House concur in the
Senate amendments.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the order of the House of
Wednesday, March 20, 2013, the motion shall be debatable for 1 hour,
equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking minority member
of the Committee on Appropriations.
The gentleman from Kentucky (Mr. Rogers) and the gentlewoman from New
York (Mrs. Lowey) each will control 30 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Kentucky.
{time} 0920
Mr. ROGERS of Kentucky. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I
may consume.
We present now the bill to fund the Federal Government for the
remainder of the fiscal year. This legislation provides funding for
essential Federal programs and services, helps maintain our national
security, and takes a potential government shutdown off the table.
The House passed a very similar version of this bill just 2 weeks
ago, and yesterday the Senate passed their version of this legislation.
Now it's back before the House today for our final stamp of approval.
I'm sure I don't need to remind the Members of the deadline that we
face here. The existing continuing resolution expires next Wednesday,
so it's vital that we get this bill to the President for his signature
straightaway.
The total funding provided in the bill remains at $984 billion, the
level required by the President's sequestration order.
To summarize the contents of this bill briefly, Mr. Speaker, it
contains full funding for the Departments of Defense and Veterans
Affairs, exactly what the House approved the other week. Without the
additional flexibility provided in this bill, the Pentagon could face
severe funding constraints, even beyond sequestration, potentially
jeopardizing our national security.
In addition to addressing our military equipment and readiness needs,
it also provides for the quality of life and health of our troops and
veterans. We've added an additional $2.5 billion for the VA to ensure
our Nation's warfighters receive the benefits they have earned for
their service.
The Senate added to the bill we passed three additional full-year
appropriations bills to H.R. 933, the ones for Homeland Security,
Commerce, Justice and Science, and Agriculture.
Now, Mr. Speaker, these were the bills that passed the House, by
large margins, with bipartisan backing, and are now, by the Senate,
reinserted into the CR for the balance of the year. And it pleases this
Member and this chairman that those bills were picked up and certified
into the CR that we're passing today.
This funding will support critical law enforcement agencies, protect
our Nation's borders and food supplies, and provide important
agriculture and rural development investments. We've ensured that
critical government services, like food and nutrition assistance
programs, remain available to those who need them most.
These updated spending and funding levels will help keep our economy
on the path toward recovery, supporting U.S. trade, manufacturing, and
job creation. In the other departments and agencies covered by the
bill, both the House and Senate made limited, technical changes where
absolutely necessary to prevent extensive waste of taxpayer dollars and
to avoid any serious and irreversible damage to government programs,
and to provide strict oversight of this spending.
The Senate added a number of additional what we call anomalies or
exceptions beyond what was included in the initial House draft. I don't
think all of the Senate additions are absolutely necessary, but there's
no reason to oppose them, not strong enough in this to oppose this
legislation.
However, the Senate did not add some important matters, and I want to
reiterate briefly what they are. The Senate did not add additional
funds for ObamaCare. The Senate did not add additional funding for the
flawed Dodd-Frank law. The Senate did not remove important Second
Amendment protections, and they did not dismantle important oversight
and funding conditions that help ensure the wise and appropriate use of
taxpayer dollars.
Mr. Speaker, all said, this bill is the product of thoughtful,
bipartisan conciliation and hard work. We stayed in close touch with
Senators Mikulski and Shelby as they managed the bill in the Senate. As
a result, the Senate added no poison pills to the bill that passed the
House last week.
Even if a continuing resolution is not the most preferable way to
fund the government, I believe this bill is the best we can do under
these tricky circumstances, and I want to thank my colleagues on the
other side of the aisle and on the other side of the Capitol for
working closely with us and the committee over the past few weeks.
We still face a long haul for the rest of the year. It may seem far
down the line, but the beginning of fiscal 2014 is only 6 months away,
not to mention the other fiscal challenges that we face.
Passing this continuing resolution today lays the groundwork for a
path forward. It takes a looming fiscal deadline off the table to allow
us to finish the rest of our work and ensures our government keeps its
doors open through all of that.
[[Page H1791]]
Now, Mr. Speaker, all the Members of this body know that the real
work of the body is done by staff. In the case of the Appropriations
Committee, I can say that 10,000 times. The staff that worked this bill
and worked on the committee business, both on the majority and minority
side, put in long hours on weekends and all-night sessions and the
like.
They are the people who don't get enough praise. This bill, of
course, is no different. The staff has worked across the aisle and
across the Capitol to make this bill what it is today.
And I want to especially thank the chief clerk. The head of the
staff, Bill Inglee, who sits beside me here, has run the committee
staff since we've had the chance to chair the committee. I can't say
enough good work about him and all of the staff, both sides of the
aisle, who have labored so hard with a great heart to make these bills
possible. So I want to thank Bill Inglee, especially, for the great
work that he has given to the Nation through his work in clerking for
the Appropriations Committee.
I ask my colleagues, Mr. Speaker, to do the right thing by the
American people and support this legislation and take a shutdown of the
government off the table.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself as much time as I may
consume.
Mr. Speaker, I came to Congress 25 years ago and joined the
Appropriations Committee a few years later. With a strong sense of
responsibility and optimism, with hard work and bipartisanship, this
committee has the power to transform lives;
To ensure that whether you are from the poorest block of urban
America or a penthouse in Manhattan, with hard work, you can achieve
the American Dream;
To research treatments and medicines so that we can cure the most
tragic illnesses like cancer and HIV/AIDS and childhood disorders like
autism;
To give every youngster the opportunities my grandchildren have, not
let hardworking parents struggle to find child care or afford pre-K, or
think about how they're ever going to pay for a college education;
To invest in the initiatives that have made this Nation great,
bolstering our economy, giving Americans jobs, building our
infrastructure, teaching our children, and protecting our communities.
{time} 0930
While the bill we consider today represents a great deal of
compromise, it fails these tests; but with the current continuing
resolution expiring in just 6 days, we have run out of options, my
friends, to avoid a government shutdown.
When the House first considered this package, I voted against it, in
part, because it included just two bills--Defense and Military
Construction--leaving every other government agency to live under a
continuing resolution from fiscal year 2012. The Senate, wisely, added
three additional full-year spending bills to the measure we consider
today--Agriculture; Commerce, Justice, and Science; and Homeland
Security--and amended the bill to help other agencies adapt to current
needs. Senate Appropriations Chairwoman Mikulski and I were in constant
contact throughout the negotiations. I'm satisfied she got the best
deal she could at this time.
Yet I remain deeply dissatisfied that sequestration is not addressed
and will slash the very priorities I believe all of us came here to
fulfill. This $68 billion in detrimental cuts will diminish services
Americans depend on, job growth, and our overall economy. According to
CBO, 750,000 jobs--more than a third of the jobs we created last year--
will be wiped out by sequestration. This package lacks vital assistance
to fully operate and promote Federal health insurance exchanges needed
to give millions of uninsured Americans health care. It also provides
inadequate funds to enforce financial reforms to protect consumers.
The majority sets a dangerous precedent by refusing to fund the
implementation of laws they simply don't like but cannot overturn.
Health and financial reform are the laws of the land, and the health
care law has even been affirmed by the United States Supreme Court.
The American people face serious challenges--children who will lose
Head Start, diseases for which we will decrease research, unsafe roads
and bridges, and a food supply that could be less safe. We cannot
relitigate partisan battles. We should instead forge ahead toward
compromise and practical solutions.
In that spirit, I'm pleased the bill includes the administration's
full request for embassy security to protect Americans working abroad.
In addition, it fully funds our commitments to Israel, our only and
vital ally in the Middle East.
H.R. 933 will support 20,757 claims processors to help address the
shameful Veterans Administration claims backlog, which delays care to
our Nation's veterans. The bill also directs the VA to report to
Congress on progress to reduce the backlog, which I intend to follow
closely. Transportation funding is also increased to meet the levels
authorized under the MAP-21 plan, and critical highway and motor
carrier safety programs are included.
Mr. Speaker, despite its imperfections, I will support this bill to
avert a government shutdown, which would be disastrous for our economy.
As we finally put fiscal year 2013 behind us and move on to 2014, it is
my sincere hope that we can work together to stop sequestration's
mindless cuts before American jobs and livelihoods are lost.
Once this bill is passed and we have avoided a government shutdown,
we must ask ourselves, Why are we here? We're here to ensure every
family has access to high-quality health care and every child has the
opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive. We're here to protect the
safety and economic security of Americans and to leave our world and
our country better than we inherited it for our children and
grandchildren.
We are failing, and we must do better. Let's restore the sense of
responsibility to improve the lives of our constituents and the
prosperity of this great Nation.
I want to close by thanking Chairman Rogers and the wonderful staff
on both sides of the aisle. We've all tried to work across the aisle. I
hope we can do so as future bills are discussed and as we face a new
challenge.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. ROGERS of Kentucky. I reserve the balance of my time.
Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to yield 2 minutes to the
gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Perlmutter).
Mr. PERLMUTTER. To my friends on the Appropriations Committee, I do
want to congratulate you for working together. This is a positive sign
for this Congress. But the reason I stand today here in this Chamber is
that 8 months ago yesterday, 12 people were murdered in an Aurora
theater. Fifty-eight were shot and hundreds were traumatized. Three
months ago, 22 kids were killed in Newtown, Connecticut. We have yet to
have a single hearing on mental health, on gun safety, on background
checks, on whether we limit the number of rounds in a magazine on
military-style assault weapons.
I rise today because in this bill there is substantive legislation,
which I believe is out of order in an appropriations bill, that deals
with tracing of guns used in crimes and the prohibition to use any
information that might be gained from tracing guns used in crimes and
any kind of study to figure out where these are coming from.
And so I dare say that the Appropriations Committee held a hearing on
gun safety or magazines or even on this tracing that's in the bill at
section 514, pages 169 and 170. I believe, Mr. Speaker, this is a very
important subject that this House has got to take up. It can't just be
part of some appropriations bill where there's never been real
testimony and where we have substantive legislation.
So I appreciate the work that you have done on the appropriations
piece, but I don't appreciate the piece where it's substantive
legislation concerning gun safety.
Mr. ROGERS of Kentucky. I continue to reserve the balance of my time.
Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to yield 5 minutes to the
ranking member and the distinguished leader of the committee that funds
health, education, and labor, the Congresswoman from Connecticut (Ms.
DeLauro).
[[Page H1792]]
Ms. DeLAURO. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong opposition to this
resolution, which has only marginally improved since the last time we
voted on it. This makes deep, permanent, indiscriminate, and harmful
sequestration cuts that threaten our economic recovery. These are
automatic across-the-board cuts. It hurts our economic recovery and the
health and well-being and future of millions of American families.
Both the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office and Federal Reserve
Chairman Ben Bernanke have argued that the sequestration could cost us
as many as 750,000 jobs. And that is not all.
{time} 0940
This resolution will make unnecessary cuts to vital programs that
support families around the country. And these cuts will weigh heaviest
on the people we should be helping the most to get back on their feet,
the most vulnerable American families still struggling from the Great
Recession.
A vote against this resolution is not a vote for a government
shutdown. Speaker Boehner has pledged on multiple occasions that he
will not let the government shut down. You don't have to support this
resolution and sequestration to avoid a shutdown.
If you vote for this resolution, you are voting to undermine the
Affordable Care Act by not providing funding to fully implement and
ensure access to the health care marketplaces. You are voting to cut
$400 million from Head Start. That means cutting early learning and
development services from 70,000 children.
You vote to cut $282 million from critical job training programs,
cutting services from hundreds of thousands of unemployed and
dislocated workers, veterans, and students.
You vote to slash $730 million from Title I grants, cutting Federally
funded education services from 2,500 schools and 1 million
disadvantaged children. You vote to cut $580 million from special
education grants, shifting the cost of educating 30,000 kids to the
State and to local education agencies.
You vote to cut more than $1.5 billion from the National Institutes
of Health, slowing the pace of research and reducing the number of
medical advances we make each year--advances that have the potential to
save lives.
You vote to cut $115 million from the Childcare Development Block
Grant, further exacerbating the shortage of Federal child assistance by
cutting services for 30,000 children.
The list goes on. On top of deep cuts that have already become law,
this resolution goes even deeper into every responsibility of good
government--public health, research, safety, transportation, you name
it. It also includes four egregious provisions related to firearms that
would continue to blindfold law enforcement and hamper our ability to
combat gun violence.
This is not what the American people want from us. We need to pass a
bill that creates jobs, grows the economy, and protects the middle
class, seniors, and the most vulnerable. The resolution before us today
does none of these things.
You know, whenever we are drafting a budget or debating legislation
in the House of Representatives, these are the principles that inform
my work as a Member of the Congress.
On Tuesday, in Rome, Pope Francis I asked ``all those who have
positions of responsibility in economic, political, and social life''
to also ``be protectors.'' We need to be protectors. We need to
continue to carry that vision of service with us and hope that all
elected officials heed what the newly invested Pope has called for and
work to ensure that our service is truly a service to others.
We need to not put American families at risk. I urge my colleagues to
oppose this continuing resolution.
Mr. ROGERS of Kentucky. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the
gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Fitzpatrick).
Mr. FITZPATRICK. I thank the gentleman for yielding.
Mr. Speaker, I want to speak about one small part of the continuing
resolution, but one that has a huge impact on constituents in every
district in this Nation: military tuition assistance, a popular program
used by hundreds of thousands of troops to further their education and
become better leaders, both in uniform and back in the civilian job
market. Military tuition assistance, Mr. Speaker, is what the
administration chose to cut because of sequestration.
The administration didn't have to end this program, but they did. The
administration clearly decided to try and make sequester cuts as
painful as possible, and our military men and women were being made to
suffer the consequences. Instead of cutting waste, they ended a popular
benefit for members of the armed services. This administration would
rather renege on a promise made to soldiers, airmen, and marines than
work together to prioritize spending and get our fiscal house in order.
Thankfully, through bipartisan efforts in both Chambers, we were able
to right a wrong. Today's vote compels the administration to keep our
government's promise to America's servicemen and -women--and quite
frankly, it's a shame it ever had to come to this.
I thank every Member of this body that has worked to restore the
military tuition assistance program. It's a small part of this package,
but a huge one for our troops.
I urge support of the bill.
Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, as we conclude our discussion, I just want
to make it clear that I look forward to continuing to work with my
friend, Chairman Rogers, and hopefully we can consider each bill as we
address the needs of fiscal year 2014.
I agree with my dear friend, Congresswoman DeLauro, on the problems
with this bill and the accounts that we have not funded adequately. I
do hope as we move forward we can work in a bipartisan way to, yes,
continue to root out waste, fraud, and abuse, but also address the many
needs of our constituents, all the people of the United States of
America, and people around the world who look to the United States as a
beacon of hope and opportunity.
So I again feel that I will support this bill because we cannot allow
the government to shut down in 6 days, but I look forward, with
optimism, that we can work together to address the many needs that we
have not considered appropriately in this bill.
I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. ROGERS of Kentucky. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my
time, and I will be brief. But I wanted to point out to the body the
rarity of what we're doing here today.
This bill funds the government for the balance of the year. The House
and Senate picked up earlier approved appropriations bills--some of the
12 of the bills--and incorporated them into this CR. So it's sort of a
hybrid bill. A part of it funds the agencies without any particular
change from 2012. Then, in these five bills that earlier had passed the
House and the Senate committee, now incorporated in this bill, it funds
those agencies with full-year funding, with full-year instructions.
The rarity of coming together as we are a week or so before the
ending of the CR to pass a new CR, by agreement with the Senate, with
the myriad of details involved in these bills--tens of thousands of
decisions, actually, that were made a part of this bill--it is
remarkable that we're at this point where I think the bill will be
approved with a great majority as it was in the Senate--the Senate vote
was 73-26, and I think the vote here will be similar. But that's
remarkable. It's due to good staff work, number one--dedicated work.
It's due to Members of both bodies who were able to listen to their
colleagues, understand everyone's needs involved in this process, and
for the most part we found conciliation and ability to come together
around these common provisions that are good for the country.
This will allow our military a lot more flexibility in how they spend
the money we give to them--all the while it's a meager amount compared
to what they need. Nevertheless, they're given flexibility, and with
the other agencies like Veterans and Homeland Security, with Border
Patrol, with veterans' pension cases and trying to help relieve that
workload, and all of the agriculture needs of the country included in
this bill, as well as the Commerce, Justice, Science part. So we are
properly funding things like the FBI and the DEA, the law enforcement
agencies, the Commerce and Trade Divisions, as well as all of the
others included in the bill.

So, Mr. Speaker, this is a good bill. I'm proud of it. I'm proud of
the fact that we were able to do all of this, frankly, as smoothly as
it has gone. That's a tribute to the work of people like Nita Lowey,
the new ranking member on the full committee, and the work of Senator
Richard Shelby, the ranking Republican on the Senate side, and, of
course, the new chairman of the committee over there, Senator Barbara
Mikulski.
All of us worked together, and we were determined to produce a
product that would be good for the Nation, number one; but, as it turns
out, I think it's good for this body and the Senate. We have proved
that when we set our mind to it, we can get complicated, hard things
done. And that's what this bill does.
Mr. Speaker, I urge an ``aye'' vote on H.R. 933, and I yield back the
balance of my time.
Mr. BRALEY of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today against H.R. 933. This
bill includes reckless, across-the-board spending cuts known as the
sequester, which have a disproportionate impact on critical programs
that serve those in our Nation's most vulnerable communities. Although
the Senate amendment to the bill strengthens certain programs, they are
still subject to sequester level cuts. Because Congress is unwilling to
act responsibly, drastic cuts are set to go into effect with this bill,
and hundreds of Iowa kids will bear the burden of lawmakers' inaction
by no longer having access to Head Start services. Investments for
children's education will be cut. Additionally, the bill could impact
other everyday services such as the closure of hundreds of air traffic
control towers throughout the country, including three in Iowa. Along
with the harmful cuts that the sequester brings, the Defense
Appropriations portion of the bill continues to fund $87 billion
towards the war in Afghanistan. We need to bring our brave men and
women serving in uniform home rather than continue to fund a war that
has lasted longer than a decade.
Although I oppose the bill in its current form, there are many
provisions in the bill that I do support. I applaud the 1.7% pay
increase for military personnel. I support the continuation of a pay
freeze for Members of Congress. I support the increased funding for
Head Start and the FEMA disaster relief fund over the House bill,
though it's still not enough. I also support the increased funding for
embassy security following the needs identified after the Benghazi
attacks. I am also pleased to know that the bill provides for
substantial foreign aid to our ally Israel.
Mr. VAN HOLLEN. Mr. Speaker, while the Continuing Resolution we vote
on today is a marginal improvement over the version that passed the
House, it still fails to replace sequestration and underfunds our
Nation's critical needs. House Republicans have repeatedly blocked
legislation to replace sequestration and save the 750,000 jobs that the
Congressional Budget Office tells us would be lost this year alone
under that failed policy. And now we are voting on a Continuing
Resolution that keeps those cuts in place for the rest of the year.
I appreciate the Senate's efforts to improve this bill, updating
appropriations plans for the several other Departments and including
marginal funding increases for several important priorities, including
the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation,
Head Start, transportation safety, and local law enforcement. It brings
transportation funding in line with the MAP-21 policy that passed last
year, freeing up more than $720 million for important infrastructure
projects. And it includes a necessary extension of the TANF program,
which was set to expire at the end of this month.
However, by continuing sequestration and failing to update seven of
our appropriations bills to reflect current policy and priorities, this
bill shortchanges vital programs. It cuts more deeply into
environmental programs than even the House bill, making it more
difficult to keep our air and water clean and healthy. It underfunds
implementation of the Affordable Care Act and Dodd-Frank Wall Street
Reform, hampering efforts to expand access to health care, improve
consumer protections, and rein in the excesses of the financial
industry.
This legislation also continues to scapegoat federal employees,
extending their pay freeze through the end of the year. While I believe
Congress can afford a pay freeze, the federal workers who care for our
veterans, protect our borders, conduct research into life-saving
treatments and innovative technologies, and inspect our Nation's food
supply cannot. These hardworking federal employees have already had
their pay frozen for two years and contributed more than $100 billion
to reduce our deficit. They should not be denied a partial 0.5 percent
cost-of-living increase.
Unfortunately, our choice today is between this legislation and a
total government shutdown. While I would have liked to see a much
better bill before us today--one that responsibly replaces the
sequester and makes the necessary investments in critical programs and
personnel--I will vote for this bill because a government shutdown
would be even more damaging for our economy and the civil servants who
work on behalf of our country every day.
But once this bill has passed, and we have avoided yet another
manufactured crisis, we must work together to address our most
important priority--the economy and jobs. We know from Europeans that
austerity does not work--it is time to craft a responsible policy that
addresses our jobs deficit and puts our Nation on a path to long-term
sustainability.
Mr. BLUMENAUER. Mr. Speaker, this bill represents the lowest common
denominator. I am extremely disappointed that it does not prevent the
unnecessary cuts of the sequester and that it fails to fund many
programs that are vital to Oregon and the Nation.
At this point, however, this bill is the best that we can do. I am
voting for it in order to avoid a government shutdown. With this most
recent manufactured crisis behind us, I hope that Congress can come
together and get serious about making the investments that will
implement healthcare reform, rebuild and renew America's crumbling
infrastructure, help our neediest families, and protect public health
and the environment.
Mr. CAPUANO. Mr. Speaker, rise today to address a matter of great
concern not only for my congressional district, but for the future of
science research in the United States. The Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, MIT, has been a leader in fusion energy research for
decades, and I would like to clarify congressional intent regarding the
continued operations of its Alcator C-Mod fusion energy experiment.
While the President's Fiscal Year 2013 budget request contained a
substantial increase for the international fusion energy project ITER,
based in France, it dramatically reduced domestic fusion energy funding
as a trade-off. As part of this effort, the President's request would
schedule the Alcator C-Mod tokamak for closure. I want to be clear: at
no point in the appropriations process has Congress approved of or
authorized this closure.
The Continuing Resolution before us today, H.R. 933, directs the
Department of Energy, DOE, to continue virtually all policy and funding
provisions included in currently enacted appropriations legislation for
FY 2012 for DOE, including its Office of Science. The Energy and Water
Appropriations Subcommittee has previously expressed profound concern
regarding the need to maintain a balance between domestic and
international funding in the Department of Energy's Office of Fusion
Energy Sciences, as well as the need to maintain the US fusion talent
base and leadership. Although the President's budget for FY 2013
proposed a major shift in funding from domestic fusion programs,
including for the C-Mod fusion facility, neither the House nor the
Senate Appropriations Committee approved those changes. It is my
understanding that it is the intention of the Appropriations Committee
that funding for all major domestic magnetic fusion activities should
be continued under H.R. 933, just as they were in FY 2012. Under this
Continuing Resolution, the Office of Science should neither start nor
stop programs, subprograms, or activities, including those within the
Office of Fusion Energy Sciences. In MIT's case, this means that over
the course of FY 2013, the Department should provide sufficient funds
for operations and research for C-Mod and other domestic fusion
facilities consistent with FY 2012 levels, minus sequestration.
MIT's emphasis on American innovation in fusion energy and the
training of our next generation of fusion energy scientists is vital to
the overall success of our Nation's program. Congress has not approved
a closure of the Alcator C-Mod tokamak, and its continued operation
through FY 2013 is provided for in H.R. 933.
Mr. DINGELL. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of the Senate amendment
to the Continuing Resolution before us today to continue funding our
government in a more prudent manner than was seen in the House
Republican measure. I believe that funding of our Nation's most
essential programs must continue at a responsible level, and I'm
disappointed in the constant partisan politics being played with the
important financial matters of our country.
While I still believe that this constant week-to-week, Continuing
Resolution funding of our government is irresponsible and incomplete,
it is necessary to ensure that our seniors and veterans can continue to
receive the important benefits that they deserve, ensure proper funding
for our state and local law enforcement programs that protect our
communities, and a continued investment in scientific research that
will help us to lead the world in discovery and opportunity.
I'm disappointed that this Continuing Resolution does nothing to
address the harsh automatic budget cuts of sequestration, does not
[[Page H1794]]
reinstate proper funding of the much-needed protections authorized in
the Affordable Care Act and Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform laws, and
leaves in place broad cuts to environmental protection and food safety
and inspection that keep us safe.
But, simply put, this measure will prevent a government shutdown and
keep our Nation moving forward, and I believe it will allow us ample
time to come together on a 2014 budget that I know the American people
are owed and deserve. We cannot afford to keep bringing this great
Nation to the brink of the fiscal cliff for nothing more than purely
misguided political reasons. It does nothing but further jeopardize the
certainty that the American people need, now more than ever, to ensure
that their family or small business can find success and prosper.
While at it's very core I find this measure incomplete, I will
support it and hope that my colleagues agree to come together, craft a
budget that properly funds our Nation that can be signed into law by
the President, and work each and every day hereafter to put our country
back on a path to fiscal responsibility and prosperity.
Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Speaker, I rise in reluctant support of this
continuing resolution.
The action we are taking today will restore some semblance of regular
order. The CR, with the inclusion of 5 of the individual bills, is
preferable to no appropriations process at all.
Perhaps this catch all bill for the remainder of 2013 will break the
logjam and signal restoration of regular order for 2014 bills, a return
is long overdue. This is the Congress' rightful Constitutional role and
duty--open hearings, normal amendments, and full floor consideration of
all 12 appropriations bills.
Two weeks ago as the House first considered the CR, I had hoped to
see significant improvement through the process of its consideration.
This hope was not fully realized. Though some areas were improved,
significantly the inclusion of 3 additional bills, in other areas the
CR does not adequately address national needs. The Energy and Water
Development jurisdiction is just one example of where the CR falls
short.
Congress' failure to do our jobs and pass discrete annual
appropriation bills limits our ability to respond to changing realities
within government programs as well as our ability to perform
appropriate oversight.
The bill does not address the sequester. These unnecessary,
indiscriminate reductions will cut economic growth by one-third. Though
economists predict sequestration will cost 2 million jobs, not passing
the measure would cost even more.
We cannot continue to make decisions whose adverse impact falls
primarily on the middle class and those who are the most vulnerable in
our country. Our Nation is at its best when we ensure that opportunity
is available to everyone, opportunity which is the bedrock of the
American dream.
The measure, though far from perfect . . . gives some confidence,
albeit late, to the 2013 budget, the public, and the markets so that
normal federal transactions can occur--with clarity.
While I believe improvements could and should be made, the
alternatives carry a higher risk. I will therefore reluctantly support
this bill.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. All time for debate has expired.
Pursuant to the order of the House of Wednesday, March 20, 2013, the
previous question is ordered.
The question is on the motion by the gentleman from Kentucky (Mr.
Rogers).
The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that
the ayes appeared to have it.
Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays.
The yeas and nays were ordered.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX and the
previous order of the House, further proceedings on this question will
be postponed.
