             BUDGET AND ACCOUNTING TRANSPARENCY ACT OF 2014

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 1(c) of rule XIX, further 
consideration of H.R. 1872 will now resume.
  The Clerk read the title of the bill.


                           Motion to Recommit

  Ms. DeLAURO. Mr. Speaker, I have a motion to recommit at the desk.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is the gentlewoman opposed to the bill?
  Ms. DeLAURO. Mr. Speaker, 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. DeLauro moves to recommit the bill H.R. 1872, as 
     reported, to the Committee on the Budget 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 title:
   TITLE IV--EQUAL PAY AND PROTECTING SMALL BUSINESSES AND CONSUMERS

     SEC. 401. EQUAL PAY FOR WOMEN AND PROTECTING SMALL BUSINESSES 
                   AND CONSUMERS FROM HIGHER LOAN COSTS.

       (a) Equal Pay for Women.--This Act shall not take effect 
     until the female-to-male earnings ratio of full-time, year-
     round workers is at least 100 percent, as reported by the 
     Bureau of the Census pursuant to the data collected from any 
     Current Population Survey Annual Social and Economic 
     Supplement.
       (b) Protecting Small Businesses and Consumers.--This Act 
     shall not apply to any loan for a small business, student, 
     agriculture, or for veterans' housing if such Act increases 
     the cost of such loan and credit programs for small 
     businesses and consumers due to the elimination or reduction 
     of Federal support.

  Ms. DeLAURO (during the reading). Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous 
consent to dispense with the reading.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentlewoman from Connecticut?
  Mr. GARRETT. Mr. Speaker, I object.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Objection is heard.
  The Clerk will read.
  The Clerk continued to read.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman from Connecticut is 
recognized for 5 minutes in support of her motion.
  Ms. DeLAURO. Mr. Speaker, this is a final amendment to the bill. It 
will not kill the bill or send it back to committee. If adopted, the 
bill will immediately proceed to final passage, as amended.
  This amendment works to end pay discrimination against women, and it 
helps to ensure a very simple principle, one I hope that everyone in 
this body agrees with: men, women, same job, same pay, because it is 
true in this body.

[[Page H2984]]

  Tomorrow is the dubious milestone of Equal Pay Day, the day a women's 
earnings catch up to what a man made last year. We are now over 3 full 
months into 2014. Women should not have to work an extra quarter of a 
year to be paid what they are due.
  My amendment would postpone the effective date of the bill under 
consideration until Congress has worked to close this pay gap. It also 
ensures that this act does not increase the cost of loan and credit 
programs for small businesses, students, farmers, and veterans as a 
result of an elimination or reduction of Federal support.
  Paycheck discrimination is not a partisan issue. It affects every 
women. It affects every family in America. Nearly 60 years ago, a 
Republican President, Dwight Eisenhower, told the Congress that 
``legislation to apply the principle of equal pay for equal work 
without discrimination because of sex is a matter of simple justice.''
  Over 50 years ago, Congress came together in a bipartisan fashion to 
pass the Equal Pay Act and end what President Kennedy called ``the 
serious and endemic problem of unequal wages.''
  In 2014, women are still making 77 cents on average for every dollar 
made by a man. This wage gap is only closing at a rate of less than 
one-half a cent a year. That means we still have 40 more years before 
women will get paid what they deserve for the same work.
  Families cannot afford to wait that long. They should not have to. 
That is why we just saw the Republican-controlled Senate in New 
Hampshire pass a paycheck fairness bill unanimously because this is an 
issue of simple fairness--same job, same pay--that affects everyone.
  Women are half the workforce in America today, two-thirds of the 
primary cobreadwinners in American families. The poverty rate among 
women is as high as it has been in 17 years. Women have less retirement 
security, less protection on their pension, and more reliance on Social 
Security, but they receive lower payments because of this continuing 
wage gap.
  As a result, two-thirds of seniors living in poverty today in the 
United States of America are women. These disproportionate financial 
pressures that women are facing are very much a product of this wage 
gap.
  According to the National Partnership for Women and Families, women 
lose $11,000 in income every year as a result of pay discrimination. 
This pay gap has not budged in a decade. For women of color, it is even 
worse. African American women make only 62 cents as compared to the 
average White male; Hispanic women, only 54 cents.
  The pay gap holds true across occupations and education levels. This 
is not just a problem for women. Less pay for women means less income. 
That affects an entire family. Two-income households are already 
struggling.
  This is not a partisan issue. Unequal pay affects families all across 
our country. What are they trying to do? Pay their bills, achieve the 
American Dream, and they are getting less take-home pay for their hard 
work.
  We have heard it from AnnMarie DuChon in Massachusetts. She found out 
years into her job that the university she worked for was paying men 
more for the same work.
  Terri Kelly in Tennessee only discovered she was making less than she 
deserved because her husband held the exact same job, and she saw his 
paycheck.
  ReShonda Young of Iowa discovered that her own father was paying 
women less when she went to work in the family business. This is real.
  Both Republicans and Democrats agree that people doing the same job 
should receive the same pay. This amendment reaffirms our commitment to 
this basic principle.
  It also says that we are not going to force small businesses and 
consumers, who are working hard, playing by the rules, and trying to 
make a better future for themselves, to pay more because of their 
skill.
  Mr. Speaker, we made an enormous difference for women and families 
when we passed the Affordable Care Act in March 2010. We said to 
insurance companies: you cannot charge women more than men.
  That is the law of the land today. It is real, it is being 
implemented, and it is happening right now. Now, we should build on 
that.
  Let us make sure that employers cannot pay women less for the same 
job. This makes all the difference in their lives and the lives of 
their families. I urge all of my colleagues to support this amendment.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. GARRETT. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to the motion.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from New Jersey is recognized 
for 5 minutes.
  Mr. GARRETT. Mr. Speaker, a number of questions come to my mind after 
just hearing the sponsor of the motion. They don't necessarily go in 
this order.
  One is: Why does she want to hide from the American public the actual 
facts of what they are doing to the American public, as far as spending 
the taxpayers' money?
  The second question that comes to mind is: Why, when the opportunity 
was given to the other side of the aisle to work with us, to amend the 
bill or change the bill on those areas that they disagree with on its 
merits, why did they instead come with this proposal, this motion on 
the floor totally extraneous to the underlying message and purpose of 
the bill?

                              {time}  1830

  Mr. Speaker, many times we come to the floor and people say that the 
bill before us is a commonsense piece of legislation. Well, I am going 
to say it again because this is a commonsense piece of legislation. The 
underlying bill, maybe we should have had a different name to it. Maybe 
if we simply called the bill what it is, the ``Knowing What You Are 
Spending Bill,'' then the other side of the aisle would have agreed 
with us, wrapped their arms around the bill and us and said let's move 
forward, because who can disagree with actually know what you are 
spending?
  That is all this bill does. It doesn't eliminate any programs; it 
doesn't cut any programs; and it doesn't diminish any programs. All it 
does is allow Congress and the American public to understand what we 
are spending and what the costs are to the various programs that both 
sides of the aisle support.
  The proponent just now of the motion didn't get into the weeds at 
all. But let me just, for those just coming to the floor, remind them 
of what the major provisions of the underlying bill do. There are a 
number of them. I will give you three highlights.
  First and foremost, it brings Federal budgeting in line with what the 
private sector has already been doing for a long time. It requires the 
executive branch and Congress to use something called fair value 
accounting when estimating the cost of Federal credit programs. What 
does that mean? Again, it just means that, when we spend American 
taxpayers' dollars, we have to let the taxpayers know how much it is 
actually costing.
  This is not just my idea. This is what the private sector has been 
doing. This is even what the nonpartisan CBO, Congressional Budget 
Office, says we should be doing as well.
  The second point is it brings Fannie and Freddie on budget. Why do we 
do that? To recognize the enormous and potential budgetary impact that 
these housing-related enterprises can and have had on our government. I 
don't think I have to remind either side of the aisle that they have 
cost upwards to $187 billion in taxpayer dollars to get it done, and we 
want to make sure it is on the budget so we can see it clearly.
  Thirdly and lastly, this bill would require agencies to make public 
the budgetary justification for the materials prepared in support of 
their programs. What is that saying? It just means that, if you have an 
agency out there that wants to spend your tax dollars, they have to 
have the justification for it.
  I think those are three honest and fair proposals that the American 
public has a right to know. We can continue to help the poor; we can 
continue to have ag programs; we can continue to have energy programs; 
and we can continue to have programs that facilitate housing in this 
country. But as we do on those programs that we both agree on, let's 
make sure that we are being honest with the American public and telling 
them and knowing what it actually costs.
  For that reason, I recommend a ``no'' on this motion to recommit that 
would

[[Page H2985]]

eliminate that possibility for transparency, accountability, and 
openness, and a ``yes'' on the final passage of the legislation.
  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. DeLAURO. 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 179, 
nays 217, not voting 35, as follows:
