So the amendment was agreed to.
The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
PERSONAL EXPLANATION
Ms. JACKSON LEE. Mr. Chairman, on rollcall No. 480, I would have
voted ``no.''
Mr. Chairman, on rollcall No. 481, I would have voted ``no.''
The Acting CHAIR. There being no further amendments, under the rule,
the Committee rises.
Accordingly, the Committee rose; and the Speaker pro tempore (Mr.
Woodall) having assumed the chair, Mr. Womack, 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. 1526) to
restore employment and educational opportunities in, and improve the
economic stability of, counties containing National Forest System land,
while also reducing Forest Service management costs, by ensuring that
such counties have a dependable source of revenue from National Forest
System land, to provide a temporary extension of the Secure Rural
Schools and Community Self-Determination Act of 2000, and for other
purposes, and, pursuant to House Resolution 351, he reported the bill,
as amended by that resolution, 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
Mr. BARBER. Mr. Speaker, I have a motion to recommit at the desk.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is the gentleman opposed to the bill?
Mr. BARBER. I am opposed to it in its current form.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to
recommit.
The Clerk read as follows:
Mr. Barber moves to recommit the bill H.R. 1526 to the
Committee on Natural Resources with instructions to report
the same back to the House forthwith with the following
amendment:
At the end of the bill, add the following new section:
SEC. 508. ASSISTING AND PROTECTING FIREFIGHTERS WITH THE MOST
ADVANCED FIREFIGHTING AND PERSONAL SAFETY
EQUIPMENT.
For the purposes of this Act, including catastrophic
wildland fire prevention and suppression, there are
authorized to be appropriated to the Secretary of Agriculture
and the Secretary of the Interior such sums as may be
necessary for acquisition and deployment of the most
advanced--
(1) firefighting equipment, including air tankers and
communications equipment; and
(2) personal safety equipment for firefighting personnel.
Mr. HASTINGS of Washington (during the reading). Mr. Speaker, I ask
unanimous consent that the reading be dispensed with.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the
gentleman from Washington?
There was no objection.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Arizona is recognized for
5 minutes.
Mr. BARBER. Mr. Speaker, Arizonans know only too well the horrific
effects wildfires have on our communities.
In July of this year, our State was devastated by the Yarnell Hill
fire that swept across 8,400 acres of land in 15 days, killing 19 brave
firefighters from the Granite Mountain Hotshots. They died in the line
of duty doing one of the hardest jobs in firefighting. This tragedy
will leave physical scars on Arizona for many years to come and
emotional scars that will last forever.
These fires are not unique to our beautiful State. Every year,
communities across our Nation battle wildfires that destroy their land,
their homes, and their livelihood and too often take lives. The brave
men and women that we send in to fight these wildfires put their lives
on the line to protect us.
A decade ago this summer, another devastating fire swept through the
community of Summerhaven in my district. It destroyed 350 homes and
businesses. That area will not recover fully for centuries.
Two summers ago, my district in southeastern Arizona endured the
Horseshoe Two fire. On May 8, 2011, this fire started on the east side
of the Chiricahua Mountains near the community of Portal. The fire
continued to burn steadily, heading to the northwest; and on June 8,
the fire reached the Chiricahua National Monument, burning into the
southeast corner of the park. In late June, the fire was finally
contained, but by then 223,000 acres within the Chiricahua Mountains
had burned.
We were lucky that summer in southeastern Arizona that there was no
loss of life. We did not lose one firefighter.
This motion to recommit is very straightforward.
{time} 1200
It ensures that we provide our firefighters with the most advanced
equipment, including air tankers, communication gear, and personal
safety equipment.
As the father-in-law of a firefighter, this issue is both a personal
one and one of great importance to the people I represent, to Arizona,
and to many communities across the western United States. I think about
my son-in-law, Jason, going off to work and my daughter at home with
our two grandchildren, one of whom is barely 1 year old. I also think
of each brave man and woman across our Nation who leaves a wife, a
husband, a son, or a daughter every day to do the same.
We owe our firefighters an eternal debt of gratitude for their
courageous work, and we also owe them the best resources to protect
them as they put themselves in harm's way in trying to save lives,
homes, businesses, our land, and our forests.
This is the final amendment to this bill. It will not kill the bill
or send it back to committee. If adopted, the bill will immediately
proceed to final passage. I ask my colleagues on both sides of the
aisle to join me and stand with our firefighters by supporting this
motion to recommit.
I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. HASTINGS of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to the
motion to recommit.
[[Page H5791]]
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes.
Mr. HASTINGS of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I have to wonder sometimes
about the seriousness of these motions to recommit that come from the
other side, but I especially have to do so today.
Earlier today, we passed a continuing resolution that provides over
$600 million for firefighters in order to fund all of these
firefighting actions we have had this year, and the author of the MTR
voted against the motion to recommit. There is nothing serious here.
This motion to recommit offers absolutely no solution.
Here are the facts:
The fact is that just last year--and we haven't gotten the figures
for this year--over 9 million acres of national forestland burned. Can
you imagine the carbon imprint of that, by the way?
Secondly, we only harvested, or managed, 200,000 acres nationwide.
That means that 44 times more national forestlands burned than were
properly managed. This bill addresses that by properly managing our
forests. The result will get us back to where we used to be when we
used to spend $1 on forest management and get $2 back in return because
we managed our forests. Now it's reversed. For every $2 we spend today,
we get $1 back. That doesn't make any sense at all.
There have been no solutions out there, and this is not a solution
either. The solution is the underlying bill. I urge a ``no'' vote on
the MTR and a ``yes'' vote on the underlying 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. BARBER. 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, if ordered.
This is a 5-minute vote.
The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 190,
