Mr. CARTER Mr. Chairman, I move that the Committee do now rise and
report the bill back to the House with sundry amendments, with the
recommendation that the amendments be agreed to and that the bill, as
amended, do pass.
The motion was agreed to.
Accordingly, the Committee rose; and the Speaker pro tempore (Mr.
Gardner) having assumed the chair, Mr. Hultgren, Acting Chair of the
Committee of the Whole House on the state of the Union, reported that
that Committee, having had under consideration the bill (H.R. 2217)
making appropriations for the Department of Homeland Security for the
fiscal year ending September 30, 2014, and for other purposes, directed
him to report the bill back to the House with sundry amendments adopted
in the Committee of the Whole, with the recommendation that the
amendments be agreed to and that the bill, as amended, do pass.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under House Resolution 243, the previous
question is ordered.
Is a separate vote demanded on any 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.

Mr. MURPHY of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I have a motion to recommit at

Mr. MURPHY of Florida. I am opposed in its current form.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to
recommit.
The Clerk read as follows:
Mr. Murphy of Florida moves to recommit the bill H.R. 2217
to the Committee on Appropriations with instructions to
report the same back to the House forthwith with the
following amendments:
Page 2, line 17, after the dollar amount, insert ``(reduced

Mr. MURPHY of Florida (during the reading). Mr. Speaker, I ask
unanimous consent to suspend the reading.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the
gentleman from Florida?
There was no objection.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes.
Mr. MURPHY of Florida. Mr. Speaker, this is the final amendment to
the bill, which will not kill the bill or send it back to committee. If
adopted, the bill will be amended and immediately proceed to final
passage.
Mr. Speaker, I want to thank Chairman Carter and Ranking Member Price
for working together in a truly bipartisan manner on the underlying
legislation. With this bill, we have shown that we can put partisanship
aside and do what's right for the American people--providing the
necessary funding to the Department of Homeland Security to keep our
Nation safe from attacks as well as responding to national disasters.
But just as we have the responsibility to support the important work
that Homeland Security does, we also have the responsibility to make
sure we are spending smartly by allocating funds where they are most
needed.
After witnessing the tragedies caused by the recent tornado in Moore,
Oklahoma, wildfires in California and New Mexico, and the Northeast
still recovering from Superstorm Sandy, we are reminded that disasters
can strike in any community. Having lived in Florida my entire life, I
have experienced firsthand the impact these disasters can have,
especially when local and State governments are not on the same page as
the Federal Government in adequately preparing for and responding to
extreme weather.
As we debate today, Florida and the eastern coast is preparing to
deal with the potentially devastating effects of Tropical Storm Andrea.
With the start of what is predicted to be an active tornado and
hurricane season, it is especially important for Congress to act. That
is why this week I announced the formation of a bipartisan Disaster
Relief Caucus to work toward improving the effectiveness of disaster
preparedness and response efforts. It is vital that we work to make
disaster preparedness efforts more efficient across all levels of
government.
My amendment would take $2.5 million from the Department's
administrative operating expenses to put towards the Pre-Disaster
Mitigation program. This important program will assist State and local
governments in better preparing for natural disasters, saving American
lives and communities. Furthermore, better preparedness efforts reduce
the costs of disaster response and cleanup efforts, ultimately saving
American taxpayer dollars.
Additionally, with less than 2 months having passed since the tragedy
of the bombings at the Boston Marathon, we must also recommit ourselves
to funding antiterrorism efforts. My amendment would provide a 5
percent increase in funding to train emergency responders on the
Federal, State, and
[[Page H3224]]
local level so they can be better prepared to prevent and respond to
domestic attacks. Again, this funding is actually fully offset from the
Department's administrative operating expenses.
My amendment should have the full support of the House, and I once
again want to point out that it will not kill the underlying
legislation. It would simply shift spending from administrative
operations to invest in natural disaster preparedness and antiterrorism
efforts. As we continue to tighten our belts in Washington, I think we
can all agree that these programs are a more vital use of resources
than administrative expenses.
Natural disasters impact all Americans, as do acts of terrorism.
These are two areas that should never get caught up in partisan
bickering. We must stand united to prevent future tragedies caused by
both natural disasters and acts of terrorism, which know no party
affiliation. Anyone who supports the underlying legislation has no
reason not to also support this amendment to spend smarter to better
protect our Nation.
Mr. Speaker, my amendment is an opportunity to show the American
people that Congress is willing to work together to put the safety and
well-being of the American people first. I hope to see the same
bipartisan support for my amendment as we have seen for the underlying
legislation. I urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to vote in
support of this amendment.
I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. CARTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to the motion.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Texas is recognized for 5
minutes.
Mr. CARTER. Mr. Speaker, this is a good bill. It's a strong bill.
This bill focuses on securing the homeland, protecting our citizens
against terrorist acts like the one that we experienced in Boston, and
we've talked about it for the last 3 days.
Mr. Speaker, this motion is unnecessary. This bill specifically
addresses the events in Boston by the following:
Adding an additional 1,600 CBP officers, increasing the funding for
watch-listing for the 3rd year in a row, increasing visa enforcement;
increasing first responder grants by $400 million for a total of $2.5
billion--more than adequate funding to help equip and train first
responders, and doubling the amount for bomb prevention. And the bill
already has more than $30 million in pre-disaster mitigation grants.
This bill was constructed in a bipartisan fashion, garnering
unanimous support at the subcommittee and full committee levels, and
has earned praise from both sides of the aisle and here on the House
floor.
This bill is not contentious. It fulfills one of the most basic
duties of the Members of Congress: keeping our Nation safe.
Let's not focus on politics today. Let's focus on constitutional
responsibility to provide for the safety for all who live in our
wonderful country.
Mr. Speaker, it's time to apply the lessons learned from recent
terrorist attacks, reject this flawed motion, and vote on this
important bill. Vote ``yes'' on the important bill.
I yield back the balance of my time.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the previous question is
ordered on the motion to recommit.
There was no objection.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion to recommit.
The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that
the noes appeared to have it.
Recorded Vote
Mr. MURPHY of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I demand a recorded vote.
A recorded vote was ordered.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XX, this 5-
minute vote on the motion to recommit will be followed by a 5-minute
vote on passage of the bill.
The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 196,
noes 226, not voting 12, as follows:

{time} 1112
Ms. BROWNLEY of California and Ms. SHEA-PORTER changed their vote
from ``yea'' to ``nay.''
Mr. NEUGEBAUER changed his vote from ``nay'' to ``yea.''
So the bill was passed.
The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
Stated against:
Mr. CONYERS. Mr. Speaker, I was absent for rollcall vote 211, as I
had stepped away from the House Floor momentarily. If I had been
present for this vote, on final passage of H.R. 2217, Department of
Homeland Security Appropriations Act of 2014, I would have voted
``nay.''
Mr. QUIGLEY. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall No. 211, I inadvertently voted
``aye'' when I intended to vote ``no'' on final passage of H.R. 2217,
the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act.
The addition of the Amendment to H.R. 2217 offered by Mr. King
altered the true intent of the bill. Mr. King's Amendment would
prohibit the use of prosecutorial discretion by Immigration and Customs
Enforcement, preventing Immigration and Customs Enforcement from
focusing its limited enforcement resources on those who pose a real
threat to public safety and national security.
Mr. BECERRA. Mr. Speaker, I was unavoidably detained and missed
rollcall votes 207, 208, 209, 210 and 211. If present, I would have
voted ``yea'' on rollcall 207, ``no'' on rollcall 208, ``no'' on
rollcall 209, ``yea'' on rollcall 210, and ``no'' on rollcall 211.
