{time} 1708
Messrs. SENSENBRENNER and NUGENT changed their vote from ``aye'' to
``no.''
Messrs. ASHFORD and PETERS changed their vote from ``no'' to ``aye.''
So the amendment was rejected.
The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
The Acting CHAIR (Mr. Bost). There being no further amendment, under
the rule, the Committee rises.
Accordingly, the Committee rose; and the Speaker pro tempore (Mr.
Mooney of West Virginia) having assumed the chair, Mr. Bost, 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. 3293) to provide for greater accountability in Federal funding
for scientific research, to promote the progress of science in the
United States that serves that national interest, and, pursuant to
House Resolution 609, he reported the bill back to the House with
sundry 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 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
Ms. EDWARDS. Mr. Speaker, I have a motion to recommit at the desk.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is the gentlewoman opposed to the bill?
Ms. EDWARDS. I am opposed.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to
recommit.
The Clerk read as follows:
Ms. Edwards moves to recommit the bill H.R. 3293 to the
Committee on Science, Space, and Technology with instructions
to report the same back to the House forthwith, with the
following amendments:
Page 4, line 13, strike ``or''.
Page 4, line 15, strike the period and insert ``; or''.
Page 4, after line 15, insert the folowing:
(H) increased understanding of the causes and prevention of
gun violence.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman from Maryland is recognized
for 5 minutes.
Ms. EDWARDS. Mr. Speaker, this is the 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.
H.R. 3293, the deceptively entitled Scientific Research in the
National Interest Act, represents an effort by the majority to overrule
expert scientists in deciding which scientific grants the Federal
scientific agency should fund. What this really translates to, Mr.
Speaker, is that these are areas that some politicians do not want to
fund because they don't believe in scientists.
Just a week ago, 26-year-old NeShante Davis, a second grade teacher
in Fort Washington, and her 2-year-old daughter, Chloe, were gunned
down because of child support. We have a gun violence problem in the
United States.
According to The American Journal of Medicine, compared to other rich
nations, Americans are 25 times more likely to be violently killed with
a firearm, 6 times more likely to be accidentally killed with a gun, 8
times more likely to commit suicide using a firearm, and 10 times more
likely to die from a gun death overall.
To address this, Americans deserve the facts and Congress needs the
breadth and the data for the epidemic. Using the public health
approach, we have reduced smoking among Americans from 43 percent, at
the time of the first Surgeon General's report in 1964, to 18 percent.
{time} 1715
Since the 1970s, using the public health approach, we have reduced
deaths from motor vehicle crashes by more than 70 percent. In 1970,
there were over 55,000 deaths from motor vehicle crashes per year.
Today there are around 30,000.
So what does the public health approach yield? Well, the essence is
this: define the problem, including its magnitude, nature, and
distribution in the population; define the cause or risk and protective
factors for the problem. What are the characteristics to prevent the
problem?
For example, educating people about the risk of guns that come with
gun ownership and how to reduce that risk and develop widely
implemented programs using proven strategies to prevent the problem,
public health can help solve this problem.
At this time, I yield to the gentleman from California (Mr.
Swalwell), my colleague and cosponsor of the motion.
Mr. SWALWELL of California. I thank the gentlewoman from Maryland for
yielding to me.
Mr. Speaker, on every block in every community across America, people
are asking what is the Federal Government doing to keep our community
safe from gun violence. They are asking for good reason.
Nearly 11,000 Americans were victims of homicide by firearm in 2014.
There was nearly one mass shooting for each day of the year in 2015,
according to The New York Times. With these stats, are we doing enough?
Can we do more?
Our motion to recommit answers this question by endeavoring to
understand the causes of gun violence and learning how we can curb it.
As Members of Congress, we have no higher obligation than to protect
those we represent.
I urge all Members to live up to that responsibility. Help do all we
can to reduce gun violence. Pass this motion to recommit.
Ms. EDWARDS. Mr. Speaker, using the public health approach, we have
now eradicated smallpox, eliminated polio in most countries, reduced
motor vehicle deaths by 70 percent, and reduced smoking rates by over
half.
We can do something about gun violence, and we have an obligation to
do it today. Just think if we were able to do the same thing to address
the gun violence epidemic.
This is a small and yet powerful step with research--just research--
that could lead to significantly reducing the number of Americans
killed by firearms.
All we want to do is look at the problem. All we want to do is
measure the magnitude. All we want to do is find solutions for NeShante
Davis, 26 years old, and her 2-year-old daughter, Chloe, gunned down--
gunned down.
In every single community across this country, we can do this by
enabling the National Science Foundation to just look into the issue
and give us some answers so that we can find solutions. We owe it to
NeShante. We owe it to Chloe. We owe it to the American people.
I urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to treat this like
the epidemic that it is. End gun violence in this country.
I urge my colleagues to support my commonsense motion.
Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. SMITH of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to the motion
to recommit.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes.
Mr. SMITH of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I oppose the motion to recommit.
H.R. 3293, the Scientific Research in the National Interest Act, is a
bipartisan bill that ensures the grant process at the National Science
Foundation is transparent and accountable to the American people.
America's future economic growth and national security depend on
innovation. Public and private investments in research and development
fuel the economy, create jobs, and lead to new technologies that
benefit Americans' daily lives.
NSF invests about $6 billion of taxpayers' funds every year on
research projects and related activities. Unfortunately, in recent
years, the Federal Government has awarded too many grants that few
Americans would consider to be in the national interest.
[[Page H692]]
Only one out of five grant proposals are approved. We cannot fund
every worthy proposal, much less frivolous ones like $516,000 to create
a video game called ``Relive Prom Night.''
The legislation before us reaffirms in law that every NSF grant must
support research that is in the national interest.
The 1950 enabling legislation that created the NSF set forth the
Foundation's mission and cited the national interest as the foundation
for public support and dissemination of basic scientific research.
The Science in the National Interest Act reaffirms and restores this
crucial mission and requires the NSF grants meet at least one of seven
criteria that demonstrate it is in the national interest. This will add
transparency, accountability, and credibility to the NSF and its grant
process.
Opponents of this bill must think they know better than the NSF
Director. Director Cordova testified before the House Science, Space,
and Technology Committee that the policy in H.R. 3293 is ``compatible
with the NSF's internal guidelines.'' This legislation makes that
standard clear, explicit, and permanent.
Scientists still make the decisions. They just do not get a blank
check signed by the taxpayer. They need to be accountable to the
American people by showing their proposals are in the national
interest.
The National Science Foundation has supported and continues to
support basic research into the causes and prevention of crime and mass
violence. NSF-funded research has included studies of violent impulse
behavior, cultural and social factors affecting predisposition to
violence, the links between mental disorders and violent behavior,
parenting and parental influences over their children's disposition
toward violent behavior, and patterns of crime and violence in American
cities.
There is no need for this motion to recommit. In fact, it is an
inappropriate earmark. For those reasons, I urge my colleagues to
reject the motion to recommit and to support the underlying bill.
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.
Recorded Vote
Ms. EDWARDS. Mr. Speaker, I demand a recorded vote.
A recorded vote was 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.
This is a 5-minute vote.
The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 177,
