So the amendment was agreed to.
The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
The Acting CHAIR. There being no further amendments, under the rule,
the Committee rises.
Accordingly, the Committee rose; and the Speaker pro tempore (Mr.
Guthrie) having assumed the chair, Mr. Collins of Georgia, 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. 4)
to reauthorize programs of the Federal Aviation Administration, and for
other purposes, and, pursuant to House Resolution 839, he reported the
bill 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 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. VELAZQUEZ. Mr. Speaker, I have a motion to recommit at the desk.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is the gentlewoman opposed to the bill?
Ms. VELAZQUEZ. 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. Velazquez moves to recommit the bill H.R. 4 to the
Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure with
instructions to report the same to the House forthwith with
the following amendment:
At the end of title VI of the bill, add the following new
section:
SEC. __. FEDERAL COST SHARE.
(a) In General.--Notwithstanding any other provision of
law, including any agreement, the Federal share of
assistance, including direct Federal assistance, provided for
the States of Texas (DR-4332), California (DR-4344),
Louisiana (DR-4345), South Carolina (DR-4346), Georgia (DR-
4338), and Florida (DR-4337), the Seminole Tribe of Florida
(DR-4341), the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (DR-4336, DR-4339)
and the territory of the
[[Page H3724]]
U.S. Virgin Islands (DR-4335, DR-4340) in connection with
Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria, the California Wildfires,
and Tropical Storm Harvey under sections 403, 406, 407, and
408 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency
Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5170b, 5172, 5173, and 5174) shall
be 100 percent of the eligible costs under such sections.
(b) Applicability.--The Federal share provided by
subsection (a) shall apply to disaster assistance applied for
before or after the date of enactment of this Act.
Ms. VELAZQUEZ (during the reading). Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous
consent to dispense with the reading of the motion to recommit.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the
gentlewoman from New York?
There was no objection.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman from New York is recognized
for 5 minutes.
Ms. VELAZQUEZ. Mr. Speaker, this is the final amendment to the bill,
which will not kill the bill or send it back to committee. If adopted,
the bill will immediately proceed to final passage, as amended.
Mr. Speaker, 2017 was a year of historic disasters. We saw category 5
hurricanes, devastating floods, and wildfires that covered hundreds of
miles. For the towns and communities in Florida, Georgia, South
Carolina, Louisiana, California, Texas, Puerto Rico, and the U.S.
Virgin Islands, they continue to struggle with what once would have
been considered a once-in-a-lifetime disaster.
My motion will help these communities right now. It will do so by
waiving the local matching requirements for FEMA assistance for those
affected by Irma, Harvey, Maria, and the wildfires out west. This is
critical because many States like Florida and Georgia did not have
dedicated disaster funds set aside to pay for such requirements. The
result is that these disasters will require States to dip into their
operating budgets, meaning less money for roads, business investment,
healthcare, and schools.
In addition, many communities hit by these disasters are struggling
financially as businesses close, homes are rebuilt, and many
individuals leave for good. This reshuffling of economic fortunes
creates massive financial stress. It is in our power to help these
towns and cities, whether they are in Georgia, Florida, Texas,
Louisiana, the U.S. Virgin Islands, or Puerto Rico.
Take Port Aransas, just outside Corpus Christi. It used to have 4,000
residents but now only has 3,000, a decline of 25 percent. Its hotels
should be packed with college students on spring break, but 33 percent
are vacant. Why? Because they are still rebuilding, struggling to be
ready for what should be the most financially important part of this
season.
These areas and places like Galveston, Texas; Lake Charles,
Louisiana; or Isle of Palms in South Carolina must come up with
millions of dollars if they want to access FEMA assistance. And out
west, entire communities are still reeling from wildfires: towns like
Lake Perris, Kettleman City, Orosi, and Corona.
People's lives, Mr. Speaker, have been turned upside down, and
communities, cities, and States are under massive budget pressure to
rebuild. The least we can do is provide relief from these massive,
unforeseen costs.
This motion to recommit will boost assistance for areas still
struggling to rebuild. It will take stress off municipal and State
budgets, recognizing that massive disasters like these cannot simply be
absorbed by small fishing towns and rural areas.
If you vote ``no,'' you are voting against these small communities;
you are voting against the people who live in Texas, Florida,
California, Georgia, South Carolina, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin
Islands. I urge you to stand with them and vote ``yes'' on the motion
to recommit.
Mr. Speaker, I yield the balance of my time to the gentleman from
Oregon (Mr. DeFazio).
Mr. DeFAZIO. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman and strongly
support the motion to recommit.
This is a historic bill, the FAA bill. I want to thank my staff:
Kathy Dedrick; Alex Burkett; Rachel Carr; Michael Tien; Luke Strimer;
Janet Erickson; David Napoliello; Helena Zyblikewycz; Auke Mahar-
Piersma; Ward McCarragher, who has moved on; Alexa Old Crow; and Jamie
Harrell.
I want to congratulate the outgoing chair, Frank LoBiondo. It is his
last major bill in Congress, and Frank was great to work with. I hope
he has a great life after Congress.
Ms. VELAZQUEZ. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. SHUSTER. Mr. Speaker, I claim the time in opposition.
The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Collins of Georgia). The gentleman from
Pennsylvania is recognized for 5 minutes.
Mr. SHUSTER. Mr. Speaker, first, to the gentlewoman's motion: First
of all, everybody should know that the President already has the
authority to waive the cost-share, so this is unnecessary for us to
pass it.
I want to thank all the committee staff, all the staff, for their
hard work on this bipartisan bill: full committee staff, my personal
staff, aviation staff, economic development staff, and, of course, the
legislative counsels.
There is one particular former staffer I want to thank, Matt Sturges,
who was with the committee for 5\1/2\ years, the staff director, just
went down to be the Deputy Administrator at FRA. He worked tirelessly
for the past couple of years on this FAA bill.
Again, I thank the following staff.
Our full committee staff, including Chris Vieson, Geoff Gosselin,
Fred Miller, Clare Doherty, Kathy Loden, Collin McCune, Hannah Matesic,
Brittany Smith, Tracy Mosebey, Justin Harclerode, Jeff Urbanchuk,
Andrew Wargofchik, Eric Burgeson.
Our Aviation Subcommittee staff: Holly Woodruff Lyons, Naveen Rao,
Hunter Presti, Max Rosen, Cameron Humphrey.
Our Economic Development Subcommittee staff: Johanna Hardy, Pam
Williams, Hannah Noyes.
Our Legislative Counsels: Tom Dillon, Rosemary Gallagher, Karen
Anderson, Stephen Hagenbuch.
Finally, I want to thank a few staff who have recently moved on, but
were instrumental in this process: Matt Sturges, Simone Perez, Keith
Hall, and Curt Haensel with Legislative Counsel.
Mr. Speaker, in addition, I would like to finish by thanking the
minority staff and the minority leader on the other side, again,
working very closely with the minority staff to produce this bill. And
finishing up with thanking the minority staff, I just want to say this
is a good bipartisan bill that was introduced with seven Democratic
cosponsors, including the ranking member and subcommittee ranking
members as well as our subcommittee chairmen.
Over the last 2 days, we worked in a very bipartisan manner. We had
116 amendments to this bill: 50 Democratic amendments and over 22
bipartisan amendments. The process has been nothing short of fair and
equitable to both sides, I believe. This is a good bill that needs to
get through the House so that we can achieve the first long-term
reauthorization of FAA in years.
We have had five short-term extensions since the last long-term bill
in 2012, creating uncertainty for the FAA, air traffic controllers, our
airports, and, most importantly, the American people. It is time we
move forward on this.
Mr. Speaker, I just want to also say that Frank LoBiondo has been a
very, very able subcommittee chair on Aviation. I thank the gentleman
for all his service to the Nation and to the committee, as well as this
will be my last Aviation bill.
Just in case anybody wants to give Frank a great send-off, I would
encourage having a big bipartisan vote on this bill, because, again,
Mr. LoBiondo and I both worked very, very hard to make sure this bill
was crafted in a bipartisan fashion. So, again, we need to get this
bill to the Senate and get the bipartisan bill to the President's desk.
Mr. Speaker, I urge all my colleagues to support this bill, and 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. VELAZQUEZ. Mr. Speaker, I demand a recorded vote.
A recorded vote was ordered.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 8 and clause 9 of rule
XX,
