REDUCING REGULATORY BURDENS ACT OF 2013
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 1(c) of rule XIX,
proceedings will now resume on H.R. 935, which the Clerk will report by
title.
The Clerk read the title of the bill.
Motion to Recommit
Mrs. CAPPS. Mr. Speaker, I have a motion to recommit at the desk.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is the gentlewoman opposed to the bill?
Mrs. CAPPS. I am opposed in its current form.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to
recommit.
The Clerk read as follows:
Mrs. Capps moves to recommit the bill H.R. 935 to the
Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure with
instructions to report the same back to the House forthwith
with the following amendment:
At the end of the bill, add the following:
SEC. 4. PROTECTING INFANTS AND CHILDREN FROM KNOWN OR
SUSPECTED CARCINOGENS.
(a) In General.--This Act, and the amendments made by this
Act, shall not apply to a discharge of a pesticide--
(1) if the pesticide--
(A) is a known or suspected carcinogen for infants or
children; or
(B) is known or suspected to harm the neurological or
physiological development of infants or children; or
(2) if the discharge is located in a geographic area that
contains a cancer cluster.
(b) Cancer Cluster Defined.--In this section, the term
``cancer cluster'' means a defined geographic area where
there is the occurrence of a greater than expected number of
cancer cases among infants or children over a specific time
period.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the rule, the gentlewoman from
California is recognized for 5 minutes in support of her motion.
Mrs. CAPPS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to offer this final amendment
to H.R. 935.
If this amendment is adopted, it will not kill the bill or send it
back to committee.
{time} 1045
The House will have an opportunity to vote on final passage
immediately after consideration of this amendment. What the amendment
will do is ensure that our children are protected from known chemical
threats.
Mr. Speaker, it should come as no surprise that when it comes to
pesticides, infants and children are among the most vulnerable to
harmful health impacts. Pound for pound, children drink more water, eat
more food, and breathe more air than adults, and, as a result, they
absorb a higher concentration of pesticides.
Infants and children are also exposed to pesticides in unique ways
because of how they interact with the world. As any parent can tell
you, children and infants crawl on the floor and on the grass, and they
put almost everything into their mouths, including their hands, again,
putting themselves at greater risk of exposure to pesticides than
adults.
And the exposure of infants and children to pesticides poses a
greater risk than the same exposure would do to an adult for an
additional reason, and that is because children's internal organs are
still developing, and their bodies may provide less natural protection
from these toxins than adults have.
Simply put, our children are at greater risk from pesticide exposure,
so they need greater protection, and that is what my amendment would
do. It would help reduce risk by preserving several commonsense tools
to protect children and infants from increased exposure to toxic
pesticides.
Mr. Speaker, I believe our farmers and mosquito control districts
have raised legitimate concerns about these regulations that need to be
addressed, and I have supported the underlying bill in the past because
I believe the legislative process needs to move forward to find the
right solution to these issues.
However, this bill is not perfect. It takes a very broad approach
that could be more targeted to ensure that we are doing everything
possible to protect our most vulnerable people. Unfortunately, this
bill now has come to the floor with no opportunity to consider floor
amendments to make these commonsense improvements, and so this is our
last--really, our only--opportunity to strike the right balance between
supporting our local farmers and protecting our children.
Mr. Speaker, we all know that pesticide exposure can lead to a
variety of adverse health effects, especially for children. These
harmful effects range from neurological disorders to birth defects to
certain forms of cancer. In fact, recent news reports have highlighted
more and more examples of potential cancer clusters associated with
pesticide exposure.
For example, in Highland, New York, health officials are
investigating the cases of six children who, one after another, were
diagnosed with the same form of leukemia. Local residents believe that
environmental pollution may be the cause and point to the routine
pesticide sprayings in the area.
In Kern County, California, local officials are investigating over 20
cases of childhood malignancies, including the death of an 8-year-old
boy, that may be linked to pesticides in that area.
In Washington State, local health officials are investigating why
roughly 60 people in the Yakima area have fallen ill, reporting
difficulty breathing, skin rashes, nausea, vomiting, and headaches,
some of whom required emergency hospitalization. In this instance,
State health officials suspect these health issues may be related to 15
different instances of spraying in commercial orchards.
These are just a few examples.
Mr. Speaker, I represent an area of California with a vibrant
agricultural economy and culture that we all treasure. Our farmers and
their families drink the same water as everyone else, so they have just
as much at stake in this as anyone. Pesticides are an unfortunate but
necessary part of food production, and our central coast farmers do the
best they can to navigate the rules and use these pesticides safely,
but there is clearly more that could and should be done to minimize
pesticide exposure, especially when it comes to our children.
My amendment targets the most toxic of all pesticides, those that
research indicates are known or suspected to cause serious health
issues in infants and children. I want to be clear. This amendment does
not block the use of these pesticides or block consideration of this
bill. It simply says that if you are a pesticide applicator, you should
minimize your use of these toxic chemicals, monitor any adverse impacts
from their use, and report the location and quantities to local
permitting agencies.
We may not agree on all the potential impacts of this bill, but
surely we can agree that protecting our Nation's infants and children
from toxic chemicals warrants our full support. Simply
[[Page H7150]]
put, that is what my amendment does. And as a public health nurse, I
strongly urge its adoption.
Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. GIBBS. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to the motion to
recommit.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Ohio is recognized for 5
minutes.
Mr. GIBBS. Mr. Speaker, this motion to recommit is unnecessary. There
are already adequate protections put in the law, in the FIFRA law.
FIFRA evaluates it. The EPA evaluates the process. It goes through the
process, and if there is any risk to the environment or human health,
they won't get their label. There won't be a label. It will be a
restricted pesticide, and it won't be approved.
So I say this is unnecessary. It is duplicative. There are already
enough protections in the current FIFRA law, and all this is redundant
and just plain unnecessary. So we need to move ahead.
I strongly oppose the motion to recommit and urge my colleagues to
vote ``no.''
Mr. Speaker, 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.
Mrs. CAPPS. Mr. Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays.
The yeas and nays were ordered.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 8 and clause 9 of rule
XX, this 15-minute vote on the motion to recommit will be followed by
5-minute votes on passage of the bill, if ordered; ordering the
previous question on House Resolution 696; and adopting House
Resolution 696, if ordered.
The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 195,
nays 233, not voting 4, as follows:

The Honor and Privilege of Serving My Fellow Americans
Mr. CANTOR. Mr. Speaker, it has been an honor and a privilege to
serve as majority leader of this distinguished body. I look around this
remarkable Chamber, and I see so many friends and colleagues who have
inspired me and who have inspired this Congress to do great things for
the American people.
Walking into this building and walking on to this floor is something
that excited me every day since I was first elected to Congress, as it
should. Not one of us should ever take for granted the awesome honor
and responsibility we have to serve our fellow Americans.
This is a privilege of a lifetime. I think of the sacrifices that
helped me rise to serve the people of Virginia's Seventh District. My
grandparents fled religious persecution in Europe in order to find a
better life.
My grandmother, a young Jewish widow, was soon raising my dad above a
grocery store in Richmond, just trying to make ends meet, and so it
goes, two generations later, her grandson would represent part of what
was James Madison's seat in the House and then go on to serve as its
majority leader.
I have truly lived the American Dream. That is what this country is
supposed to be about: dreaming big and believing that each generation
can do better than the last. Now, unfortunately, we have seen that
dream erode
[[Page H7151]]
in recent years, and our Nation faces many challenges. Too many are
left wondering if we can be an America that works, an America that
leads.
Too many children are condemned to a bad school because of the ZIP
Code they live in. Being poor in America should not mean being deprived
of a good education. We have all got to continue fighting for these
kids. This is the civil rights issue of our time.
Even after kids graduate high school, too many can't afford college
or access the skills they need to join a new and dynamic workforce.
Government policies often increase these costs and restrict
opportunities. During my time here, we have made some progress on some
of these issues, but frankly, not enough.
One of my proudest moments was watching the President sign into law
the Gabriella Miller Kids First Research Act sponsored by Congressmen
Gregg Harper and Peter Welch. Prioritizing Federal dollars toward
finding cures and treatments for disease can enrich and even save
lives. The added benefit? Cures can help alleviate health care costs.
All the while, too many moms and dads who are healthy are stuck
without a job or barely getting by in one that doesn't match their
potential. This Congress, the House has passed many bills, some of
which were bipartisan, to help create jobs and opportunities for those
who desperately need them. I hope more of those bills will make it to
the President's desk before year's end.
Our Nation and our economy cannot meet its full potential if we in
America are not leading abroad. I look around at colleagues on both
sides of the aisle, at chairmen, ranking members, and at my good
friend, Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer, all of whom have soberly and
seriously helped ensure a fight for a strong foreign policy, so that
our Nation can lead in order to help keep our people safe; yet never
before have I been more worried about the prospects of that peace due
to our diminished engagement on the world stage.
Instability and terror seem to be coming from every corner of the
globe. The Middle East is in chaos, Iran is marching towards a nuclear
weapon, and Russia has reverted to a cold war footing and invaded
Ukraine.
America does lead in so many areas, including innovation, scientific
discovery, and medicine, but we have also got to make leadership abroad
a priority. I shudder to think what the world will look like in 5 years
for us and our allies if we don't steel our resolve and stand tall with
those who stand with us.
Mr. Speaker, we don't always see eye to eye, even within our own
parties in this Chamber, but that is how it is supposed to be. Our
Founders did not design a rubber stamp.
This Congress, we have found ways to agree on much more than was ever
reported with many bills passing this House in a bipartisan way. For
that, much of the credit goes to the hardworking staff that quietly
works around the clock to help us do our job. I would especially like
to thank my team, starting with Chief of Staff Steve Stombres and my
deputy chief, Neil Bradley, as well as our whole team for being there
every day to assist Members on both sides of the aisle to help them
deliver on their legislative goals. Thank you.
Mr. Speaker, I would also like to thank you for all you have done.
Thank you for the example of firm leadership that you show and, at the
same time, for not being afraid to show us all your kind heart and your
soft spot from time to time.
Mr. Speaker, you reminded me yesterday that you and I have met with
each other at least once a day every day that we have been in session
for the past 5 years. For that, Mr. Speaker, I thank you for your
patience.
I would like to thank our Conference chair, Cathy McMorris Rodgers.
She is as tough as she is compassionate, and her voice has so often
helped our Conference and this House.
I would also like to recognize two of my colleagues and dear friends
who I joined seven years ago to begin a fight for reform on behalf of
the American people. To Chairman Paul Ryan, thank you for your
dedication to finding solutions to the problems that face our
government. But more importantly, thank you for your commitment to
identifying those conservative solutions that actually help people find
their path to the American Dream. I know your efforts will continue to
impact America in a positive way.
To my closest confidant and my good friend Kevin McCarthy, our new
majority leader, I know you will make this institution proud. I will
miss the daily challenges that we faced together at the leadership
table, but I know that your leadership will serve as an inspiration for
all of us.
There are so many more Members and staff on both sides of the aisle
who have made my time here so rewarding. Many of you have become as
close to me as family, and that is what has always sustained me while
being away from my own family in Richmond. I know that I speak for all
of us when I extend a heartfelt thank-you to the Capitol Police and the
Sergeant at Arms for all they do to protect us and our families every
day.
Finally, I want to thank my family: my wife, Diana; her mother; my
children, Evan, Jenna, and Mikey; my parents; my brothers, all of whom
have made sacrifices so that I could serve in this Chamber and as a
member of leadership. They are my inspiration, and they are the rocks
on which I will always lean.
Mr. Speaker, I close by once again thanking my colleagues for their
service. I thank them for their friendship and warmth.
(By unanimous consent, Mr. Hoyer was allowed to speak out of order.)
Thanking the Honorable Eric Cantor for His Service
Mr. HOYER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to thank the majority leader for his
service to this House and his service to this country.
When one of us leaves this body, it ought to remind us that all of us
are here for a relatively short time, perhaps some longer than others,
but all for a relatively short time.
Mr. Cantor and I have had the opportunity to work together. As he
pointed out, we have not always agreed, as we do not always agree
across the aisle. But we have an extraordinary honor bestowed upon us,
as he pointed out. There are less than 11,000 of us in the history of
this country who have served in this body. There are 435 of us who have
been asked by our fellow citizens to serve on their behalf, on behalf
of their families, and on behalf of their country.
Eric Cantor has done that well, not because I always agreed with him,
but because I always knew that he had the best interest of his country,
his State, his community, his family, and our neighbors in mind when he
acted. I want to congratulate him and I want to thank him for his
service, and I want to thank him for working with me on those areas
where we could find agreement. In those areas, we acted in a very
productive manner and created a large bipartisan majority on most of
those issues in this House. I thank him for doing that.
As one who has also had the honor, Mr. Speaker, of serving as the
majority leader of this House, it is a special honor that our
colleagues have bestowed upon us. I want to wish him well. I know that
he will not be leaving the public community, the public square, and his
voice will still be a voice of influence and he will make a difference
in whatever area he pursues. He will remain always a Member of this
body. He will visit us from time to time. We will welcome him back. We
wish him well.
The SPEAKER. Without objection, 5-minute voting will continue.
There was no objection.
The SPEAKER. The question is on the passage of the bill.
The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that
