  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.

  Mr. RUPPERSBERGER. Mr. Speaker, due to my attendance at an event off 
the Capitol Hill campus, I was unable to make rollcall votes Nos. 162-
166. Had I been present, I would have voted in the following manner: 
No. 162 ``no'' H.R. 4 On Agreeing to the Amendment, No. 163 ``no'' H.R. 
4 On Agreeing to the Amendment, No. 164 ``yes'' H.R. 4 Motion to 
Recommit and No. 165 ``yes'' H.R. 4 Final Passage of H.R. 4.
