         NATHANIEL P. REED HOBE SOUND NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE

  Mr. McCLINTOCK. Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the 
bill (S. 3456) to redesignate Hobe Sound National Wildlife Refuge as 
the Nathaniel P. Reed Hobe Sound National Wildlife Refuge, and for 
other purposes.
  The Clerk read the title of the bill.
  The text of the bill is as follows:

                                S. 3456

       Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of 
     the United States of America in Congress assembled,

     SECTION 1. REDESIGNATION OF THE HOBE SOUND NATIONAL WILDLIFE 
                   REFUGE.

       (a) Redesignation.--The Hobe Sound National Wildlife 
     Refuge, located in the State of Florida, is redesignated as 
     the ``Nathaniel P. Reed Hobe Sound National Wildlife 
     Refuge''.
       (b) References.--Any reference in any statute, rule, 
     regulation, Executive order, publication, map, paper, or 
     other document of the United States to the Hobe Sound 
     National Wildlife Refuge is deemed to refer to the Nathaniel 
     P. Reed Hobe Sound National Wildlife Refuge.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from 
California (Mr. McClintock) and the gentleman from Arizona (Mr. 
Grijalva) each will control 20 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from California.


                             General Leave

  Mr. McCLINTOCK. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members 
have 5 legislative days to revise and extend their remarks and include 
extraneous materials on the bill under consideration.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from California?
  There was no objection.
  Mr. McCLINTOCK. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may 
consume.
  Mr. Speaker, S. 3456 would rename the Hobe Sound National Wildlife 
Refuge, located in southeast Florida, after Nathaniel P. Reed, who 
passed away on July 11, 2018, at the age of 84.
  Nathaniel P. Reed was a prominent conservationist who served as an 
Assistant Secretary of the Interior from 1971 to 1977 and later 
returned to Florida to form an advocacy group to help preserve and 
restore the Everglades. He also joined forces with former Senator Bob 
Graham to launch the Florida Conservation Coalition.
  Renaming the Hobe Sound National Wildlife Refuge, which is located 
near his home in Florida, in honor of Nathaniel P. Reed is a tribute to 
his legacy of conservation and public land stewardship.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge adoption of the measure, and I reserve the 
balance of my time.
  Mr. GRIJALVA. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Mr. Speaker, this bill redesignates the Hobe Sound National Wildlife 
Refuge in southern Florida as Nathaniel P. Reed Hobe Sound National 
Wildlife Refuge.
  We concur with the gentleman, the majority, Mr. McClintock, on this 
issue. I ask all Members to please vote in favor of the resolution. It 
is a fitting tribute to a former Interior Department official who 
helped develop the Endangered Species Act and the Clean Water Act. It 
is a fitting tribute, and I urge its passage.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. McCLINTOCK. Mr. Speaker, I urge adoption of the measure, and I 
yield back the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the 
gentleman from California (Mr. McClintock) that the House suspend the 
rules and pass the bill, S. 3456.
  The question was taken.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. In the opinion of the Chair, two-thirds 
being in the affirmative, the ayes have it.
  Mr. MASSIE. Mr. Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays.
  The yeas and nays were ordered.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, further 
proceedings on this motion will be postponed.
