Announcement by the Acting Chair
The Acting CHAIR (during the vote). There is 1 minute remaining.
{time} 1541
So the amendment was rejected.
The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
The Acting CHAIR (Mr. Ferguson). The question is on the committee
amendment in the nature of a substitute.
The amendment was agreed to.
The Acting CHAIR. Under the rule, the Committee rises.
Accordingly, the Committee rose; and the Speaker pro tempore (Mr.
Weber of Texas) having assumed the chair, Mr. Ferguson, 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.
4606) to provide that applications under the Natural Gas Act for the
importation or exportation of small volumes of natural gas shall be
granted without modification or delay, and, pursuant to House
Resolution 1049, he reported the bill back to the House with an
amendment adopted in the Committee of the Whole.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under the rule, the previous question is
ordered.
The question is on the committee amendment in the nature of a
substitute.
The amendment was 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
Mrs. WATSON COLEMAN. Mr. Speaker, I have a motion to recommit at the
desk.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is the gentlewoman opposed to the bill?
Mrs. WATSON COLEMAN. I am.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to
recommit.
The Clerk read as follows:
Mrs. Watson Coleman moves to recommit the bill H.R. 4606 to
the Committee on Energy and Commerce with instructions to
report the same back to the House forthwith, with the
following amendment:
Page 3, line 22, strike ``; and'' and insert a semicolon.
Page 4, line 2, strike ``of 1969'' and all that follows
through the end and insert ``of 1969; and''.
Page 4, after line 2, insert the following:
``(C) such importation or exportation will not involve the
use of any pipe line with respect to which eminent domain
was, or will be, used to acquire land or other property
necessary for its construction, operation, or maintenance.''.
Mrs. WATSON COLEMAN (during the reading). Mr. Speaker, I ask
unanimous consent to dispense with the reading.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the
gentlewoman from New Jersey?
There was no objection.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman from New Jersey is
recognized for 5 minutes in support of her motion.
Mrs. WATSON COLEMAN. 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.
We are here because our Constitution provided for a body that would
represent the interests of the people. There are 435 of us, and our
mandate is to represent the interests of individuals from coast to
coast, and beyond to our territories, ensuring that our laws help each
of them work toward the American Dream.
For many Americans, owning property is the pinnacle of that dream.
Once they have achieved it, that is not something we, the Federal
Government, should take away lightly, and that is a principle upon
which I think my colleagues on the other side of the aisle would be
particularly willing to agree. It is certainly not something that we
should be letting companies impede upon.
Yet, current law allows pipeline companies, with authorization of the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, or FERC, to circumvent landowner
opposition and to use eminent domain to acquire people's lands so that
they can build pipelines, even if the product of those pipelines ends
up being used overseas.
Why would we allow private companies, shipping our resources overseas
for a profit, with no benefit to us here at home, to take away
privately owned land from owners who don't want to lose their property?
Worse still, compensation provided to the property owners is often
far from fair or just, and the negotiations are rarely conducted in
good faith. That is to say nothing of the polluting nature of these
companies or our Nation's continued reliance on fossil fuels.
When you take away all the environmental considerations and look only
at the basic transaction here, we are giving away people's private land
to pipeline companies for no public benefit. In fact, we are giving
away people's private land so that private companies can profit from
selling liquefied natural gas to customers outside of the United
States.
This body has fallen into a bad habit of corporate giveaways, but
this is one of the worst.
With the recent boom in the domestic gas production, this is
happening across the United States and harming property owners in many
of our districts.
In my own State of New Jersey, residents, including my own
constituents, are deeply concerned about the PennEast Pipeline Project,
a proposed 118-mile, 36-inch gas pipeline stretching from northeast
Pennsylvania to my district. More than 500 landowners, many of whom
have vocally opposed the pipeline, will now have their properties cut
up for construction.
Preventing these private, for-profit companies from having access to
the eminent domain authority in section 7h of the Natural Gas Act would
immediately halt abuse of that authority by private gas pipeline
companies. It would place public interests over private profit. Most
importantly, it will protect our constituents' hard-earned pieces of
the American Dream.
This is an opportunity for each of us to show that we are for the
people, that we acknowledge our job is to serve the people's interests,
and that corporations shouldn't be able to take private land.
It shouldn't be a difficult choice because, if you are not here for
the people, then you shouldn't be here at all.
Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to the motion to
recommit.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Texas is recognized for 5
minutes.
Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, this is just a procedural motion to deny the
important benefits of this bipartisan legislation to American workers,
businesses, our energy security, and global American energy dominance.
It fits a pattern of delay and obstruction that we simply can't afford.
Our neighbors in South America, Central America, and the Caribbean
are praying for American LNG instead of fuel oil from unstable and
collapsing Venezuela. Let's answer those prayers today. Vote against
the motion to recommit and for final passage.
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
Mrs. WATSON COLEMAN. Mr. Speaker, I demand a recorded vote.
[[Page H7899]]
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 178,
