The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Virginia.
General Leave
Mr. GOODLATTE. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members
may have 5 legislative days in which to revise and extend their remarks
and include extraneous materials on H.R. 2832, currently under
consideration.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the
gentleman from Virginia?
There was no objection.
Mr. GOODLATTE. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may
consume.
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to bring before the House H.R. 2832, a bill
to make technical amendments to update statutory references to certain
provisions classified to title 52, United States Code.
H.R. 2832 is yet another bill addressing a reclassification of the
United States Code by the Office of Law Revision Counsel, and I am
pleased to be joined in cosponsoring this notable bill by Ranking
Member Conyers. It is only fitting that he cosponsor the bill
recognizing the creation of a new title of the United States Code
dedicated exclusively to voting and election laws.
In 1926, when the organizational structure of the United States Code
was established, no separate title for voting and elections was
created. At that time, only two Federal statutory provisions relating
to voting and elections existed.
Since 1960, an extensive body of Federal statutory law relating to
voting and elections has been enacted, including title III of the Civil
Rights Act of 1960, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the Federal Election
Campaign Act of 1971, the Voting Accessibility for the Elderly and
Handicapped Act, the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting
Act, the National Voter Registration Act of 1993, and the Help America
Vote Act of 2002.
Upon enactment, each of these laws was incorporated into the existing
structure of the Code in the most logical manner possible. However, as
this body of law grew and evolved, it became increasingly apparent to
the Office of Law Revision Counsel that a separate title was needed.
On September 1, 2014, Title 52--Voting and Elections was established.
This new title provides a well organized, coherent structure for this
important body of law.
H.R. 2832 will update citations that refer to provisions altered by
the reclassification. These updates are necessary to conform the
citations to the current codification of the text.
In addition, to eliminate any confusion, the Office of Law Revision
Counsel provides a comprehensive guide to the old and new Code
citations for these provisions on its Web site, uscode.house.gov.
As is the case with reclassification projects, no statutory text was
altered in this reorganization. The provisions were merely transferred
from one place to another in the United States Code.
H.R. 2832 is an important bill because it helps ensure that our laws
are up to date and accurately reflect the location of statutory text in
the United States Code.
For these reasons, I urge my colleagues to support this important
bill.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Ms. LOFGREN. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
[[Page H5063]]
As with the prior bills, the Office of Law Revision Counsel has
drafted this. The chairman has certainly explained what it does. It
makes no change to the law, but it does do this. It highlights the
value of voting rights laws by creating a title 52. I think that is
going to make it easier for the public to understand what the rules
are. It is an important measure, even though it doesn't change the
existing law, by making the law more accessible.
I am going to diverge a little bit from the substance of this because
when my plane landed from California this afternoon, I was saddened to
find on my email the news that Alan A. Parker, who was general counsel
for the Judiciary Committee and general counsel for the Civil Rights
Subcommittee when my predecessor, Don Edwards, had chaired the Civil
Rights Subcommittee, had passed away last Friday after a very long
illness.
Alan Parker served in World War II in the South Pacific. He went to
Santa Clara University School of Law. He loved the Congress and he
loved the Judiciary Committee. He had a distinguished career teaching
law. He would be, I think, actually pleased to be remembered on the
occasion of reorganizing these civil rights measures that he cared so
much about and that he worked for when he was here in the House.
I urge my colleagues to vote for this bill today and to join me in
mourning the passage of Alan A. Parker, the former general counsel of
the Committee on the Judiciary.
I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. GOODLATTE. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may
consume.
I would first like to thank the gentlewoman for her support of this
important legislation, but also to thank her for remembering Mr. Parker
and his contribution not only to the Judiciary Committee, but to this
entire Congress and our country. Her words are well taken, and I thank
her for them.
I urge my colleagues to support the bill.
I yield back the balance of my time.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the
gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Goodlatte) that the House suspend the
rules and pass the bill, H.R. 2832, as amended.
The question was taken; and (two-thirds being in the affirmative) the
rules were suspended and the bill, as amended, was passed.
A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
