                           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.
