       Sec. 751. (a) The Secretary of Agriculture (referred to in 
     this section as the ``Secretary'') shall carry out a pilot 
     program during fiscal year 2019 with respect to the 2018 crop 
     year for county-level agriculture risk coverage payments 
     under section 1117(b)(1) of the Agricultural Act of 2014 (7 
     U.S.C. 9017(b)(1)), that provides all or some of the State 
     Farm Service Agency offices in each State the opportunity to 
     provide agricultural producers in the State a supplemental 
     payment described in subsection (c) based on the alternate 
     calculation method described in subsection (b) for 1 or more 
     counties in a State if the office for that State determines 
     that the alternate calculation method is necessary to ensure 
     that, to the maximum extent practicable, there are not 
     significant yield calculation disparities between comparable 
     counties in the State.
       (b) The alternate calculation method referred to in 
     subsection (a) is a method of calculating the actual yield 
     for the 2018 crop year for county-level agriculture risk 
     coverage payments under section 1117(b)(1) of the 
     Agricultural Act of 2014 (7 U.S.C. 9017(b)(1)), under which--
       (1) county data of the National Agricultural Statistics 
     Service (referred to in this section as ``NASS data'') is 
     used for the calculations;
       (2) if there is insufficient NASS data for a county (as 
     determined under standards of the Secretary in effect as of 
     the date of enactment of this Act) or the available NASS data 
     produces a substantially disparate result, the calculation of 
     the county yield is determined using comparable contiguous 
     county NASS data as determined by the Farm Service Agency 
     office in the applicable State; and
       (3) if there is insufficient NASS data for a comparable 
     contiguous county (as determined under standards of the 
     Secretary in effect as of the date of enactment of this Act), 
     the calculation of the county yield is determined using 
     reliable yield data from other sources, such as Risk 
     Management Agency data, National Agricultural Statistics 
     Service district data, National Agricultural Statistics 
     Service State yield data, or other data as determined by the 
     Farm Service Agency office in the applicable State.
       (c)(1) A supplemental payment made under the pilot program 
     established under this section may be made to an agricultural 
     producer who is subject to the alternate calculation method 
     described in subsection (b) if that agricultural producer 
     would otherwise receive a county-level agriculture risk 
     coverage payment for the 2018 crop year in an amount that is 
     less than the payment that the agricultural producer would 
     receive under the alternate calculation method.
       (2) The amount of a supplemental payment to an agricultural 
     producer under this section may not exceed the difference 
     between--
       (A) the payment that the agricultural producer would have 
     received without the alternate calculation method described 
     in subsection (b); and
       (B) the payment that the agricultural producer would 
     receive using the alternate calculation method.
       (d)(1) There is appropriated to the Secretary, out of funds 
     of the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, $5,000,000, to 
     remain available until September 30, 2020, to carry out the 
     pilot program described in this section.
       (2) Of the funds appropriated, the Secretary shall use not 
     more than $5,000,000 to carry out the pilot program described 
     in this section.
       (e)(1) To the maximum extent practicable, the Secretary 
     shall select States to participate in the pilot program under 
     this section so the cost of the pilot program equals the 
     amount provided under subsection (d).
       (2) To the extent that the cost of the pilot program 
     exceeds the amount made available, the Secretary shall reduce 
     all payments under the pilot program on a pro rata basis.
       (f) Nothing in this section affects the calculation of 
     actual yield for purposes of county-level agriculture risk 
     coverage payments under section 1117(b)(1) of the 
     Agricultural Act of 2014 (7 U.S.C. 9017(b)(1)) other than 
     payments made in accordance with the pilot program under this 
     section.
       (g) A calculation of actual yield made using the alternate 
     calculation method described in subsection (b) shall not be 
     used as a basis for any agriculture risk coverage payment 
     determinations under section 1117 of the Agricultural Act of 
     2014 (7 U.S.C. 9017) other than for purposes of the pilot 
     program under this section.

     conflict with, or otherwise alter the employee obligations, 
     rights, or liabilities created by existing statute or 
     Executive order relating to (1) classified information, (2)

     provisions appropriate to the particular activity for which 
     such document is to be used. Such form or agreement shall, at 
     a minimum, require that the person will not disclose any 
     classified information received in the course of such 
     activity unless specifically authorized to do so by the 
     United States Government. Such nondisclosure forms shall also

     substantial violation of law.
       (b) A nondisclosure agreement may continue to be 
     implemented and enforced notwithstanding subsection (a) if it 
     complies with the requirements for such agreement that were 
     in effect when the agreement was entered into.
       (c) No funds appropriated in this or any other Act may be 
     used to implement or enforce any agreement entered into 
     during fiscal year 2014 which does not contain substantially 
     similar language to that required in subsection (a).
       Sec. 744.  None of the funds made available by this or any 
     other Act may be used to enter into a contract, memorandum of 
     understanding, or cooperative agreement with, make a grant 
     to, or provide a loan or loan guarantee to, any corporation 
     that has any unpaid Federal tax liability that has been 
     assessed, for which all judicial and administrative remedies 
     have been exhausted or have lapsed, and that is not being 
     paid in a timely manner pursuant to an agreement with the 
     authority responsible for collecting the tax liability, where 
     the awarding agency is aware of the unpaid tax liability, 
     unless a Federal agency has considered suspension or

     that this further action is not necessary to protect the 
     interests of the Government.
       Sec. 745.  None of the funds made available by this or any 
     other Act may be used to enter into a contract, memorandum of

     that was convicted of a felony criminal violation under any 
     Federal law within the preceding 24 months, where the

     provided in appropriations Acts exceeds the discretionary 
     spending limit for any category set forth in section 251(c) 
     of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of

     the Director of the Office of Management and Budget in the 
     amount of the excess but the total of all such adjustments 
     shall not exceed 0.2 percent of the sum of the adjusted 
     discretionary spending limits for all categories for that 
     fiscal year.

     overall average percentage of the adjustments taking effect 
     in such fiscal year under sections 5304 and 5304a of such 
     title 5 shall be an increase of 0.5 percent (with 
     comparability payments to be determined and allocated among 
     pay localities by the President). All adjustments under this 
     subsection shall be effective as of the first day of the 
     first applicable pay period beginning on or after January 1, 
     2019.

     United States Code, shall be no less than the percentages in 
     subsection (a) as employees in the same location whose rates 
     of basic pay are adjusted pursuant to the statutory pay 
     systems under section 5303, 5304, and 5304a of title 5, 
     United States Code. Prevailing rate employees at locations 
     where there are no employees whose pay is increased pursuant 
     to sections 5303, 5304, and 5304a of such title 5 and 
     prevailing rate employees described in section 5343(a)(5) of 
     such title 5 shall be considered to be located in the pay

     on December 31, 2018, as limited under section 738 of 
     division E of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2018 
     (Public Law 115-141).
       (b) Notwithstanding the official rate adjusted under 
     section 5318 of title 5, United States Code, or any other 
     provision of law, the payable rate for an employee serving in 
     an Executive Schedule position, or in a position for which 
     the rate of pay is fixed by statute at an Executive Schedule 
     rate, shall be increased by 1.9 percent (relative to the 
     preexisting rate actually payable) at the time the official 
     rate is adjusted in January 2019. Such an employee may 
     receive no other pay increase during calendar year 2019, 
     except as provided in subsection (i).
       (c) Notwithstanding section 401 of the Foreign Service Act 
     of 1980 (Public Law 96-465) or any other provision of law, a

       (2) Notwithstanding sections 5382 and 5383 of title 5, 
     United States Code, an employee described in paragraph (1) 
     who is serving at the time official rates of the Executive 
     Schedule are adjusted may receive a single increase in the 
     employee's pay rate of no more than 1.9 percent during 
     calendar year 2019, subject to the normally applicable pay 
     rules and pay limitations in effect on December 31, 2013, 
     after those pay limitations are increased by 1.9 percent 
     (after applicable rounding). Such an employee may receive no 
     other pay increase during calendar year 2019, except as 
     provided in subsection (i).
       (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any 
     employee paid a rate of basic pay (including any locality-

     Schedule pay system or the Foreign Service pay system, to 
     employees appointed under section 3161 of title 5, United 
     States Code, or to employees in another pay system whose 
     position would be classified at GS-15 or below if chapter 51 
     of title 5, United States Code, applied to them.
       (f) Nothing in subsections (b) through (e) shall prevent 
     employees who do not serve under a political appointment from 
     receiving pay increases as otherwise provided under 
     applicable law.
       (g) This section does not apply to an individual who makes 
     an election to retain Senior Executive Service basic pay

       (i) Notwithstanding subsections (b) through (e), an 
     employee in a covered position may receive a pay rate

     position only if that new position has higher-level duties 
     and a pre-established level or range of pay higher than the 
     level or range for the position held immediately before the 
     movement. Any such increase must be based on the rates of pay 
     and applicable pay limitations in effect on December 31, 
     2013, after those rates and pay limitations are increased by 
     1.9 percent (after applicable rounding).
       (j) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, for an 
     individual who is newly appointed to a covered position 
     during the period of time subject to this section, the

     manner.

     arrangement that is providing substantial reimbursement of 
     such taxes; or
       (B) the foreign policy interests of the United States 
     outweigh the purpose of this section to ensure that United 
     States assistance is not subject to taxation.
       (2) Consultation.--The Secretary of State shall consult 
     with the Committees on Appropriations at least 15 days prior

     country receiving assistance that describes the privileges 
     and immunities applicable to United States foreign assistance 
     for such country generally, or an individual agreement 
     between the Government of the United States and such 
     government that describes, among other things, the treatment 
     for tax purposes that will be accorded the United States 
     assistance provided under that agreement.
       (2) Taxes and taxation.--The term ``taxes and taxation'' 
     shall include value added taxes and customs duties but shall 
     not include individual income taxes assessed to local staff.
       (h) Report.--Not later than 90 days after enactment of this 
     Act, the Secretary of State, in consultation with the heads

     reprogramming shall be subject to the regular notification 
     procedures of the Committees on Appropriations:  Provided

     Agency for International Development that are specifically 
     designated for particular programs or activities by this or 
     any other Act may be extended for an additional fiscal year 
     if the Secretary of State or the USAID Administrator, as 
     appropriate, determines and reports promptly to the 
     Committees on Appropriations that the termination of 
     assistance to a country or a significant change in 
     circumstances makes it unlikely that such designated funds 
     can be obligated during the original period of availability:  
     Provided, That such designated funds that continue to be 
     available for an additional fiscal year shall be obligated 
     only for the purpose of such designation.
       (c) Other Acts.--Ceilings and specifically designated

     levels or minimum funding requirements contained in any other 
     Act shall not be applicable to funds appropriated by this 
     Act.

                     arab league boycott of israel

       Sec. 7035.  It is the sense of the Congress that--
       (1) the Arab League boycott of Israel, and the secondary 
     boycott of American firms that have commercial ties with 
     Israel, is an impediment to peace in the region and to United 
     States investment and trade in the Middle East and North 
     Africa;
       (2) the Arab League boycott, which was regrettably 
     reinstated in 1997, should be immediately and publicly 
     terminated, and the Central Office for the Boycott of Israel 
     immediately disbanded;
       (3) all Arab League states should normalize relations with 
     their neighbor Israel;
       (4) the President and the Secretary of State should 
     continue to vigorously oppose the Arab League boycott of 
     Israel and find

[[Page H1107]]

     concrete steps to demonstrate that opposition by, for 
     example, taking into consideration the participation of any 
     recipient country in the boycott when determining to sell 
     weapons to said country; and
       (5) the President should report to Congress annually on 
     specific steps being taken by the United States to encourage 
     Arab League states to normalize their relations with Israel 
     to bring about the termination of the Arab League boycott of 
     Israel, including those to encourage allies and trading 
     partners of the United States to enact laws prohibiting 
     businesses from complying with the boycott and penalizing 
     businesses that do comply.

     with appropriate Israeli and other appropriate security 
     organizations; and

     new Palestinian state) is working with other countries in the

     regulations assuring transparent and accountable governance.

     obligation for a period of 3 fiscal years after the fiscal 
     year in which the Secretary of Transportation is notified.

     authority to unexpended balances of funds from projects or 
     activities the State or territory certifies have been closed 
     and for which payments have been made under a final voucher.

     allocation:  Provided further, That the Secretary shall use 
     any offset referred to in the previous two provisos

     That such projects in each of seven communities shall be for 
     five years and serve no more than four contiguous census 
     tracts in which there are high concentrations of housing

     still remaining available, may be used for any purpose under 
     this heading notwithstanding the purpose for which such

     Secretary and statutorily required low-income and very low-
     income use restrictions if any, associated with one or more 
     multifamily housing project or projects to another 
     multifamily housing project or projects.
       (b) Phased Transfers.--Transfers of project-based 
     assistance under this section may be done in phases to 
     accommodate the financing and other requirements related to 
     rehabilitating or constructing the project or projects to 
     which the assistance is transferred, to ensure that such 
     project or projects meet the standards under subsection (c).
       (c) The transfer authorized in subsection (a) is subject to 
     the following conditions:
       (1) Number and bedroom size of units.--
       (A) For occupied units in the transferring project: The 
     number of low-income and very low-income units and the 
     configuration (i.e., bedroom size) provided by the 
     transferring project shall be no less than when transferred 
     to the receiving project or projects and the net dollar 
     amount of Federal assistance provided to the transferring 
     project shall remain the same in the receiving project or 
     projects.
       (B) For unoccupied units in the transferring project: The 
     Secretary may authorize a reduction in the number of dwelling 
     units in the receiving project or projects to allow for a 
     reconfiguration of bedroom sizes to meet current market 
     demands, as determined by the Secretary and provided there is 
     no increase in the project-based assistance budget authority.
       (2) The transferring project shall, as determined by the 
     Secretary, be either physically obsolete or economically 
     nonviable.
       (3) The receiving project or projects shall meet or exceed 
     applicable physical standards established by the Secretary.
       (4) The owner or mortgagor of the transferring project 
     shall notify and consult with the tenants residing in the 
     transferring project and provide a certification of approval

     eligible for assistance to be provided by the receiving 
     project or projects shall not be required to vacate their 
     units in the transferring project or projects until new units 
     in the receiving project are available for occupancy.
       (6) The Secretary determines that this transfer is in the 
     best interest of the tenants.
       (7) If either the transferring project or the receiving 
     project or projects meets the condition specified in 
     subsection (d)(2)(A), any lien on the receiving project 
     resulting from additional financing obtained by the owner 
     shall be subordinate to any FHA-insured mortgage lien 
     transferred to, or placed on, such project by the Secretary, 
     except that the Secretary may waive this requirement upon 
     determination that such a waiver is necessary to facilitate 
     the financing of acquisition, construction, and/or 
     rehabilitation of the receiving project or projects.
       (8) If the transferring project meets the requirements of 
     subsection (d)(2), the owner or mortgagor of the receiving 
     project or projects shall execute and record either a 
     continuation of the existing use agreement or a new use 
     agreement for the project where, in either case, any use 
     restrictions in such agreement are of no lesser duration than 
     the existing use restrictions.
       (9) The transfer does not increase the cost (as defined in 
     section 502 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, as 
     amended) of any FHA-insured mortgage, except to the extent 
     that appropriations are provided in advance for the amount of

       (3) is not a veteran;
       (4) is unmarried;
       (5) does not have a dependent child;
       (6) is not a person with disabilities, as such term is 
     defined in section 3(b)(3)(E) of the United States Housing

     seq.), from private sources, or an institution of higher

     fiscal year 2005.
       Sec. 213.  Notwithstanding any other provision of law, in 
     fiscal year 2019, in managing and disposing of any 
     multifamily property that is owned or has a mortgage held by 
     the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, and during 
     the process of foreclosure on any property with a contract 
     for rental assistance payments under section 8 of the United 
     States Housing Act of 1937 or other Federal programs, the 
     Secretary shall maintain any rental assistance payments under 
     section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937 and other 
     programs that are attached to any dwelling units in the 
     property. To the extent the Secretary determines, in 
     consultation with the tenants and the local government, that 
     such a multifamily property owned or held by the Secretary is 
     not feasible for continued rental assistance payments under 
     such section 8 or other programs, based on consideration of 
     (1) the costs of rehabilitating and operating the property 
     and all available Federal, State, and local resources, 
     including rent adjustments under section 524 of the 
     Multifamily Assisted Housing Reform and Affordability Act of 
     1997 (``MAHRAA'') and (2) environmental conditions that 
     cannot be remedied in a cost-effective fashion, the Secretary 
     may, in consultation with the tenants of that property, 
     contract for project-based rental assistance payments with an 
     owner or owners of other existing housing properties, or 
     provide other

[[Page H1144]]

     rental assistance. The Secretary shall also take appropriate 
     steps to ensure that project-based contracts remain in effect 
     prior to foreclosure, subject to the exercise of contractual 
     abatement remedies to assist relocation of tenants for 
     imminent major threats to health and safety after written 
     notice to and informed consent of the affected tenants and 
     use of other available remedies, such as partial abatements 
     or receivership. After disposition of any multifamily 
     property described under this section, the contract and 
     allowable rent levels on such properties shall be subject to 
     the requirements under section 524 of MAHRAA.
       Sec. 214.  The commitment authority funded by fees as 
     provided under the heading ``Community Development Loan 
     Guarantees Program Account'' may be used to guarantee, or 
     make commitments to guarantee, notes, or other obligations 
     issued by any State on behalf of non-entitlement communities 
     in the State in accordance with the requirements of section 
     108 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974:  
     Provided, That any State receiving such a guarantee or 
     commitment shall distribute all funds subject to such 
     guarantee to the units of general local government in non-
     entitlement areas that received the commitment.
       Sec. 215.  Public housing agencies that own and operate 400 
     or fewer public housing units may elect to be exempt from any 
     asset management requirement imposed by the Secretary of 
     Housing and Urban Development in connection with the 
     operating fund rule:  Provided, That an agency seeking a 
     discontinuance of a reduction of subsidy under the operating 
     fund formula shall not be exempt from asset management 
     requirements.
       Sec. 216.  With respect to the use of amounts provided in 
     this Act and in future Acts for the operation, capital 
     improvement and management of public housing as authorized by 
     sections 9(d) and 9(e) of the United States Housing Act of 
     1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437g(d) and (e)), the Secretary shall not 
     impose any requirement or guideline relating to asset 
     management that restricts or limits in any way the use of 
     capital funds for central office costs pursuant to section 
     9(g)(1) or 9(g)(2) of the United States Housing Act of 1937 
     (42 U.S.C. 1437g(g)(1), (2)):  Provided, That a public 
     housing agency may not use capital funds authorized under 
     section 9(d) for activities that are eligible under section 
     9(e) for assistance with amounts from the operating fund in 
     excess of the amounts permitted under section 9(g)(1) or 
     9(g)(2).
       Sec. 217.  No official or employee of the Department of 
     Housing and Urban Development shall be designated as an 
     allotment holder unless the Office of the Chief Financial 
     Officer has determined that such allotment holder has 
     implemented an adequate system of funds control and has 
     received training in funds control procedures and directives. 
     The Chief Financial Officer shall ensure that there is a 
     trained allotment holder for each HUD appropriation under the

     projects with assistance attached to the units under section 
     8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437f), 
     but do not apply to such units assisted under section 
     8(o)(13) (42 U.S.C. 1437f(o)(13)) or to public housing units 
     assisted with capital or operating funds under section 9 of 
     the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437g).
       (c)(1) Within 15 days of the issuance of the REAC 
     inspection, the Secretary must provide the owner with a 
     Notice of Default with a specified timetable, determined by 
     the Secretary, for correcting all deficiencies. The Secretary 
     must also provide a copy of the Notice of Default to the 
     tenants, the local government, any mortgagees, and any 
     contract administrator. If the owner's appeal results in a

     renewal of the assistance contract as long as such renewal is 
     offered;
       (E) transfer the existing section 8 contract to another 
     project or projects and owner or owners;
       (F) pursue exclusionary sanctions, including suspensions or 
     debarments from Federal programs;

     project deficiencies;
       (H) work with the owner, lender, or other related party to 
     stabilize the property in an attempt to preserve the property 
     through compliance, transfer of ownership, or an infusion of 
     capital provided by a third-party that requires time to 
     effectuate; or
       (I) take any other regulatory or contractual remedies 
     available as deemed necessary and appropriate by the 
     Secretary.
       (d) The Secretary shall also take appropriate steps to 
     ensure that project-based contracts remain in effect, subject 
     to the exercise of contractual abatement remedies to assist 
     relocation of tenants for major threats to health and safety 
     after written notice to the affected tenants. To the extent 
     the Secretary determines, in consultation with the tenants 
     and the local government, that the property is not feasible 
     for continued rental assistance payments under such section 8 
     or other programs, based on consideration of--
       (1) the costs of rehabilitating and operating the property 
     and all available Federal, State, and local resources, 
     including rent adjustments under section 524 of the 
     Multifamily Assisted Housing Reform and Affordability Act of 
     1997 (``MAHRAA''); and
       (2) environmental conditions that cannot be remedied in a 
     cost-effective fashion, the Secretary may contract for 
     project-based rental assistance payments with an owner or 
     owners of other existing housing properties, or provide other 
     rental assistance.
       (e) The Secretary shall report quarterly on all properties 
     covered by this section that are assessed through the Real 
     Estate Assessment Center and have UPCS physical inspection 
     scores of less than 60 or have received an unsatisfactory 
     management and occupancy review within the past 36 months. 
     The report shall include--
       (1) the enforcement actions being taken to address such 
     conditions, including imposition of civil money penalties and 
     termination of subsidies, and identify properties that have 
     such conditions multiple times;
       (2) actions that the Department of Housing and Urban 
     Development is taking to protect tenants of such identified 
     properties; and
       (3) any administrative or legislative recommendations to 
     further improve the living conditions at properties covered 
     under a housing assistance payment contract.
     This report shall be due to the Senate and House Committees 
     on Appropriations no later than 30 days after the enactment 
     of this Act, and on the first business day of each Federal 
     fiscal year quarter thereafter while this section remains in

     As-You-Go Act of 2010 (2 U.S.C. 933(d)) shall be zero.

Texas (Ms. Granger) each will control 30 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from New York.


                             General Leave

  Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members 
have 5 legislative days to revise and extend their remarks and insert 
extraneous material on H.R. 648, currently under consideration.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentlewoman from New York?
  There was no objection.
  Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Mr. Speaker, the Trump shutdown, now in its 33rd day, must end. It 
must end without delay so the Federal Government can get back to fully 
working on behalf of the American people.
  Just this morning, President Trump's chief economic adviser warned 
that the shutdown could lead to zero economic growth this quarter. Let 
me repeat: zero economic growth.
  The solution is simple. Reopen the government, pay our Federal 
employees, and then negotiate border security and immigration policy 
proposals that can command bipartisan support.
  It is simple. The bill before us is yet another step in that 
direction. Today, Democrats put forward six conference reports 
negotiated last December when Republicans controlled the House, the 
Senate, and the White House. In fact, Republicans have even urged us to 
bring them to the floor.
  If Republicans are serious about governing with us for the betterment 
of all Americans, then they should vote for these six conference 
reports and reopen the agencies covered by those bills.
  In addition, Chairwoman Roybal-Allard is bringing forward a 
continuing resolution for the Department of Homeland Security through 
February 28. This legislation will open the Department of Homeland 
Security and pay its employees while President Trump and Congress 
negotiate border and immigration policy beyond the $1.6 billion in 
border security-related measures in the bill we consider today.
  This bill provides $563.4 million for immigration judges to reduce 
the backlog of immigration cases and $524.2 million for construction at 
ports of entry to facilitate lawful entries and trade.
  There is $527 million to assist Central American countries as they 
work to improve security and economic stability in the State and 
Foreign Operations portion of the bill, which Ranking Member and former 
full committee Chairman Rogers negotiated with me and Senators Graham 
and Leahy.
  The State and Foreign Operations division also no longer includes 
poison pills, such as the expansion of the global gag rule, which would 
have tied up $8.8 billion in funding for lifesaving nutrition programs 
and efforts to prevent malaria, TB, and HIV.
  It no longer bans funding for the United Nations Population Fund, 
protecting maternal and child health and access to family planning 
services.
  A strong international affairs budget of $54.2 billion will help 
stabilize the world's economy, meet unprecedented humanitarian needs, 
and continue our fight against radical extremism and terrorism.
  These bills were written by the Republican-led House and Senate, 
together with Democrats. I will repeat that. These bills were written 
by the Republican-led House and Senate, together with Democrats. 
Neither Democrats nor Republicans got everything they wanted, but we 
compromised for the betterment of the United States.
  These bills should be enacted to end the Trump shutdown for all 
Americans, and I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. GRANGER. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise today in opposition to H.R. 648. The bill before 
us today represents some of the hard work done in conference between 
the House and the Senate. House Democrats closed the bills without 
Republican signoff. Therefore, this bill leaves many items yet to be 
negotiated.
  It has no chance of becoming law in its current form because it does 
not include funding for border security. The Senate will not take it 
up, and the President will not sign it.
  Today marks day 33 of an unnecessary government shutdown. Democrats 
have failed to come to the table to

[[Page H1151]]

offer a serious compromise solution to reopen the government, pay our 
Federal employees, and fund border security.
  In contrast, over the last 33 days, Republicans have offered multiple 
plans to do just that. Last week, I put forward a plan that would allow 
Federal employees to immediately receive pay while Members of Congress 
and the White House continue working toward a permanent solution to end 
the shutdown. Sadly, Democrats in this Chamber voted against this 
commonsense measure.
  Over the weekend, President Trump put forward a reasonable compromise 
proposal that provides something for both sides: funding for border 
security and protections for Dreamers. Once again, Democrats rejected 
this plan before they even heard the details.
  Mr. Speaker, we face a true humanitarian and security crisis at our 
border. More than 30 percent of women who come to the border are 
sexually assaulted on their trip, according to Doctors Without Borders. 
The number of families and unaccompanied children crossing the border 
illegally has increased dramatically, up nearly 150 percent in 
December.
  My friends on the other side of the aisle talk often about the need 
to help these women and children, and I agree with them. So why are 
they refusing to accept this compromise proposal put forward by the 
administration that would provide relief for 700,000 child immigrants 
brought here by their parents and another 30,000 immigrants whose 
protected status is in jeopardy?

  This shutdown has caused real-world consequences for Federal 
employees who have bills to pay and families to support. The 
hardworking men and women of the TSA, Border Patrol, Coast Guard, air 
traffic control, and others are suffering. The continuing refusal of 
Democrats to come to the negotiating table only further harms these 
employees.
  The shameful gamesmanship must stop. I call on my friends on the 
other side of the aisle to get serious about working with us to secure 
our border, end this shutdown, and pay our Federal employees.
  Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Before I yield to our next speaker, I just want to make our position 
very clear. The solution to the Trump shutdown is simple: Reopen the 
government; pay our Federal employees; and then we can negotiate, 
Democrats and Republicans. Our proposal will form the basis for these 
eventual negotiations. Let's open the government and then get to work.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield 4 minutes to the gentleman from New York (Mr. 
Serrano), my good friend and the chair of the Commerce, Justice, 
Science, and Related Agencies Subcommittee.
  Mr. SERRANO. Mr. Speaker, I thank Chairwoman Lowey for yielding me 
the time.
  Mr. Speaker, as incoming chairman of the Commerce, Justice, Science, 
and Related Agencies Subcommittee, I would like to take a couple of 
minutes to discuss that section of this bill and the agencies it funds.
  We are currently on day 33 of the Trump shutdown. The impact is 
growing as employees miss paychecks, individuals and groups dependent 
upon Federal assistance go without, and our public safety and 
scientific innovation is undermined. This is particularly true for the 
agencies under the jurisdiction of the Commerce, Justice, Science, and 
Related Agencies Subcommittee.
  Just last week, the Department of Justice had to scramble to find 
cash to allow recipients of grant programs under the Violence Against 
Women Act to be funded for 1 additional month.
  The New York City field office of the FBI had to set up a food bank 
for employees who are currently working without pay. We have heard 
reports that individual FBI agents are asking not to be called back to 
work so they can find paying jobs and that agents in training are 
quitting the process, with no paycheck in sight.
  The shutdown is also undermining scientific research and our next 
generation of scientists. The National Science Foundation, NOAA, and 
NASA are currently unable to award grants for ongoing research or 
scholarships to ensure that our future scientists have the ability to 
continue their studies.
  At the Department of Commerce, key economic statistics are being 
delayed. The International Trade Administration cannot investigate 
unfair trade practices. In total, more than 90,000 employees at the 
Department of Justice, which includes the FBI, DEA, ATF, U.S. Marshals 
Service, and the Federal Bureau of Prisons, are working without pay.
  More than 90 percent of employees at NASA are currently furloughed 
without pay, and more than 86 percent of employees at Department of 
Commerce find themselves in the same situation--without pay.
  The question I have for our colleagues on the other side of the aisle 
is simply this: Is this worth the cost? Should we imperil our economy, 
our scientific leadership, and our public safety because the President 
wants to waste money on an ineffective and unnecessary wall?
  We all know the answer to that question, although some are too 
afraid, unfortunately, to say it.

                              {time}  1415

  This bill offers us a bipartisan way out of this crisis. It is the 
compromise that the House and Senate negotiators worked out last fall. 
I think that bears repeating. This bill is the bipartisan compromise 
that House and Senate negotiators worked out last fall. While the CJS 
section does not contain everything that our side may want, it does 
contain important investments in science, innovation, justice, and 
economic development. In fact, with very few changes, this portion of 
H.R. 648 very closely mirrors what the Senate introduced just 2 days 
ago.
  The CJS division of this bill includes significant increases for the 
Census Bureau, NASA, the National Science Foundation, and the FBI. It 
rejects the administration's proposed cuts to the Economic Development 
Administration, the Minority Business Development Agency, and the 
Manufacturing Extension Partnership program and more. It is a 
commonsense solution to the shutdown, and it lets our Federal employees 
get back to the business of helping our Nation.
  I urge Members on both sides to vote for this bill.
  Mr. Speaker, I would just like to close by saying what I said before: 
we continue to push and push for this wall to be built. I don't spend 
time on whether the wall will be big or small, cement or wood or metal. 
For me it is simply this: this country, of all countries in the world, 
should never build a wall. This country is not the country that builds 
a wall. So in New York we have the Statue of Liberty, and in the south 
a wall.
  Ms. GRANGER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 4 minutes to the gentleman from 
Kentucky (Mr. Rogers).
  Mr. ROGERS of Kentucky. Mr. Speaker, I thank my esteemed colleagues, 
full committee Chairwoman Lowey, and Ranking Member Granger.
  This six-bill appropriations package represents a lot of hard work 
for many of us on the Appropriations Committee. Broadly speaking, this 
package is a fine example of compromise--Members working across the 
aisle to do the important work of funding our government in an 
efficient and thoughtful manner. Our Appropriations Committee 
delivered.
  Nevertheless, while this legislation addresses many bipartisan 
concerns, I fear that it has no chance of becoming law in its current 
form without a compromise on border security. That is truly 
unfortunate. We are holding up the government, we are causing a lot of 
people a lot of unnecessary pain and suffering, and we need to get this 
done.
  Regarding funding for the Department of State, Foreign Operations, 
and other related programs; this portion of the bill provides important 
resources for our national security. It supports our allies and 
partners, including $3.3 billion in foreign military financing for 
Israel--a $200 million increase from last year, by the way. It also 
maintains funding at or above last year for Egypt, Jordan, and Tunisia, 
as well as countries facing Russian aggression, such as Ukraine and 
Georgia. In our own hemisphere, the bill supports programs to counter 
transnational criminal organizations and the flow of illegal drugs.
  I am pleased to say that in collaboration with Chairwoman Lowey, this 
bill also reflects a number of bipartisan priorities, including $800 
million for

[[Page H1152]]

basic education and important increases in global health, such as 
additional funds to combat tuberculosis. It also maintains current 
levels for embassy security during these dangerous times.
  Despite the strength of this division of the bill, Mr. Speaker, the 
larger package is regrettably incomplete. It is as if we worked 
together to carefully piece together a complex puzzle, and there, right 
in the middle, is a glaring missing piece. These six bills that we have 
worked through together are good bills, but we need to find that 
missing piece and reach a compromise that will fund border security, 
reopen the government, pay our faithful employees who are now 
struggling to make ends meet, and get back to the business of serving 
the American people.
  Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, before I introduce our next speaker, I want 
to thank the distinguished gentleman, Mr. Rogers, for alluding to the 
good bipartisan work we did, the $800 million for education and 
healthcare. It was a good bill. Frankly, that is why we need to pass 
these bills and, I agree with the gentleman, take the time to negotiate 
border security where there may be some differences. So let's open the 
government, pass those good bills that we worked on together, and then 
take some time to talk about border security.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield 4 minutes to the gentleman from North Carolina 
(Mr. Price), who is the chair of the Transportation, Housing and Urban 
Development, and Related Agencies Subcommittee and is my good friend.
  Mr. PRICE of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I rise to support H.R. 648, 
legislation to reopen and responsibly fund the government, including 
the Departments of Transportation and of Housing and Urban Development.
  This bill reflects the various conference agreements that were 
reached on a bipartisan, bicameral basis late last year. The chairman 
at the time of our Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and 
Related Agencies Subcommittee, my friend, Mr. Diaz-Balart, was an 
excellent partner through this process. We worked together with our 
Senate counterparts to secure numerous priorities in the final package 
that spoke to the good work done in both the House and Senate.
  Unfortunately, the House and Senate leadership failed to bring this 
legislation to the floor before the end of the 115th Congress, despite 
unified Republican control of the branches of government. They failed 
in September, and they failed again in December in the lame-duck 
session. But, now, we do have a chance to rectify that mistake.
  Division F of H.R. 648 funds DOT, HUD, and related agencies. It 
includes $71.1 billion in discretionary funding, which is $23.1 billion 
above the President's budget request and $1 billion above the fiscal 
year 2018 enacted level.
  This total includes more than $17 billion for new housing and 
transportation infrastructure.
  It includes billions of dollars of funding above the authorized level 
to accelerate improvements in our aviation system, expand transit and 
rail networks, replace aging highways and bridge infrastructure, and 
make improvements at our Nation's ports.
  The measure also includes robust funding to preserve and expand our 
affordable housing stock, particularly for vulnerable populations like 
veterans, seniors, and the disabled.
  It locks in increases to flexible grant programs like Community 
Development Block Grants and HOME that are vital for local governments 
as they address housing and community development needs.
  Just as important, this legislation would finally re-open DOT and HUD 
and allow more than 20,000 furloughed employees of these departments to 
receive backpay and to return to their mission serving the American 
people.
  In the last 3 weeks, the House has passed short-term continuing 
resolutions to keep government open and allow more time to negotiate, 
but that wasn't good enough for the President.
  We have taken up funding legislation passed by the Senate almost 
unanimously, and that wasn't good enough for Mitch McConnell to get to 
yes.
  Today we have the opportunity to fully fund the government with a 
package that reflects bicameral and bipartisan priorities. It is time 
for Republicans and President Trump to finally take yes for an answer.
  The Trump shutdown has dragged on for more than a month, shuttering 
vital government services and creating chaos and uncertainty for 
families, businesses, and communities.
  The President has taken DOT hostage, and the strain on our aviation 
system is growing worse each day. The President has taken HUD hostage, 
and housing contracts have lapsed putting tenants in jeopardy.
  H.R. 648 would finally end the hostage-taking. It would ensure that 
vital transportation and housing programs are funded for the rest of 
this year. Meanwhile, a separate bill would temporarily fund the 
Department of Homeland Security so that negotiations on border security 
could continue.
  H.R. 648 is the result of months of bipartisan collaboration. It 
excludes problematic policy riders from both sides of the aisle. We 
should pass this bill and re-open our government.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this commonsense 
approach and re-open the government without further delay.
  Ms. GRANGER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from 
Alabama (Mr. Aderholt).
  Mr. ADERHOLT. Mr. Speaker, I thank Ranking Member Granger for 
yielding.
  Mr. Speaker, the Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science, and 
Related Agencies--the subcommittee of which I am privileged to be the 
ranking member in the 116th Congress--oversees a diverse range of 
important priorities. It ranges from deep space exploration to Federal 
law enforcement to supporting economic growth to international trade, 
and much more.
  My friend, the gentleman from New York (Mr. Serrano), has an abiding 
commitment to these priorities as well, not to mention a well-
established record of bipartisan work on this subcommittee. I look 
forward to continuing this collaborative and collegial spirit for the 
good of the Nation with Chairman Serrano in the 116th Congress.
  In light of that, I appreciate that the bill that is before us this 
afternoon includes many of the Commerce, Justice, Science agreements 
that Chairman Serrano made last year with then-Chairman Culberson, and 
I am pleased that many of the funding levels included for Federal law 
enforcement, assistance to our State and local law enforcement 
partners, and many NASA programs were included.
  However, as it has already been said here this afternoon--and I am 
sure it will be said again--the President has made it clear that he 
will not support spending bills that do not address the Nation's urgent 
border security needs.
  While the package that is before us this afternoon has a lot of very 
good features--that is not disputed--the problem is it fails to address 
the border security funding that is needed at the Department of 
Homeland Security. So instead of continuing to put appropriation bills 
on the floor that we know that the President will not support, I would 
ask my friends on the other side of the aisle to negotiate with the 
President, make a counteroffer, and to come forward to the table.
  We know that many Federal employees are not being paid. Many 
government services that Americans depend on are not being provided. 
Along our southern border, women and children are being abused as they 
are trafficked by smugglers, and drugs are pouring in through the 
borders as well. The majority continues to refuse to negotiate and to 
make a counteroffer.
  Mr. Speaker, I am ready to sit down, as I know my colleagues are, to 
work on an agreement to pay our Federal employees to get the government 
operating again and secure our borders.
  Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 5 minutes to the gentleman from 
Georgia (Mr. Bishop), who is the chair of the Agriculture, Rural 
Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies 
Subcommittee.
  Mr. BISHOP of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman for 
yielding.
  Mr. Speaker, last fall we were very close to finishing this bill and 
bringing it up for a vote; had we passed it then we would not be in the 
mess we are in today. But we can't go back in time. We are now in the 
33rd day of the shutdown. Vital services are eliminated or stretched to 
the breaking point. The shutdown must end. It can end if we pass this 
excellent bill.

[[Page H1153]]

  I want to address my colleagues who objected to voting for the 
Senate-passed bill a few weeks ago because they said it did not protect 
House priorities. This bill does and was negotiated with all four 
sides, House and Senate majorities and House and Senate minorities. 
Each side had an equal voice.
  Former Chairman Aderholt, Chairman Hoeven, Senator Merkley, and I, 
along with our staffs--committee staffs and personal staffs--worked 
together on the bill. I certainly would like to thank them for the very 
respectful and collegial way we worked through the various issues of 
agreement and disagreement to arrive at this bipartisan product. 
Additionally, we look forward to working with Mr. Fortenberry, the new 
ranking member of the subcommittee.
  House priorities were protected whenever possible. Here are some 
examples: the bill is at the House level of $550 million for rural 
broadband expansion, above the Senate level. House language barring 
Chinese poultry in school meals is included. House language setting 
aside funding for persistent poverty counties is included. The House 
position to continue funding construction of Federal agriculture 
research buildings is maintained, where the Senate bill provided no 
funding. The higher House level for healthy foods financing, and the 
higher House level for rural housing assistance grants to help rural 
elderly and low-income homeowners stay in their homes is included.
  Most importantly, this bill is good for the country. It provides over 
$23 billion in discretionary funding equal to the FY18 level. It 
reflects the more than 1,000 requests for agricultural research funding 
that we received from House Members, providing $3.4 billion, an 
increase of $388 million above the fiscal year 2018 level.

                              {time}  1430

  The farm production and conservation mission area, which includes the 
Farm Service Agency, is well funded at $2.75 billion.
  I thank the Secretary, Secretary Perdue, and, most importantly, the 
Farm Service Agency employees for coming back to work for 2 weeks, and 
part-time thereafter, in order to process critical emergency loans, 
assist with additional administration services, and help with tax 
documents. But they need to be paid.
  The bill also makes significant investments in rural development by 
providing $41 billion in loans and grants, including the House level of 
$550 million for rural broadband.
  Domestic food programs are well funded. I am proud of the fact that 
the bill includes $110 million, a 72 percent increase over the normal 
funding level, to help our Nation's food banks handle the high volume 
of commodities that will become available as a result of the USDA's 
trade mitigation plan.
  On the international side, the bill provides $1.7 billion for Food 
for Peace and funds the McGovern-Dole program at $210 million.
  Finally, it provides FDA with $3 billion in discretionary funding, 
$269 million above fiscal year 2018. It includes more funding for House 
priorities than the Senate bill we considered a couple of weeks ago and 
includes important investments to fight the opioid epidemic that were 
not in the House bill.
  This good bill will end the shutdown at USDA and FDA. Funds for 
economic development loans and grants for rural areas will begin to 
flow again. It will ensure the continuation of the National School 
Lunch Program, WIC, and SNAP without interruption.
  It will allow some 8,400 USDA meat and poultry inspectors to be paid 
for the work that they have been doing for free and will allow FDA to 
conduct food safety inspections at the necessary level instead of the 
bare minimum.
  As I have said before, this bill touches the lives of every American. 
I implore Members on both sides to support this bill. Reopen the 
government. It is time that we restore the services Americans count on 
and pay the people who provide them.
  Ms. GRANGER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 5 minutes to the gentleman from 
Georgia (Mr. Graves).
  Mr. GRAVES of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I appreciate my friend from 
Georgia and his remarks a minute ago. In fact, they sounded very 
familiar. I think I heard them maybe 20 days ago, because this is 
really nothing more than just theater today. If we are in a theater, 
this is nothing more than a rerun.
  We have been through this exercise. So, for those in the gallery and 
watching, you have probably seen this before because it was on January 
3 that we took up a bill much like this. We were told then, Mr. 
Speaker, that: If you pass this, the government will reopen. This is 
the answer.
  But here we are again, 20 days later, and nothing has changed. In 
fact, the arguments are the same. This is not a good-faith effort at 
all. I think just less than an hour ago, we voted on an appropriations 
measure by the new majority that said, if we pass this, the government 
will reopen, and employees will be paid, and everything will be back to 
normal, and harmony will be around all of us.
  But that was less than an hour ago. Nothing has changed. In fact, we 
are here right again.
  So, going back to January 3, with a bill much like this, six 
appropriations bills bundled together that had passed the Senate at 
some point in the past were voted on by this House. They went to the 
Senate. No action was taken.
  The next day, January 4, we voted on a continuing resolution to fund 
the remainder of the government, because that, again, was going to be 
the solution. That was the silver bullet. It was going to open the 
government, put everybody back to work, and have all the employees 
paid. But, in fact, nothing happened, nothing changed.
  We go into the next week. Because that didn't work, let's break them 
all up and let's do them all separately. I am not sure why. Maybe we 
will get a different outcome. But nothing changed.
  In fact, they left the House. They go to the Senate. The government 
is yet still closed.
  Then, last week, let's do something very different. Let's don't take 
up any of those again. Let's just pass a continuing resolution because, 
surely, we missed the mark those other times. This will reopen the 
government. This was the solution, we were told, last week.
  In fact, Mr. Speaker, nothing has changed 33 three days in. Here we 
are again.
  But we have started over. We are going to do it again, but we are 
going to change the terminology. These are the agreed-upon conference 
reports from last year. I heard the majority say it was the Republicans 
who had unified control of the House, the Senate, and the Presidency 
that agreed to these things last year, so let's bring those up today.
  But that is just a term. That is not truth. It is not fact.
  For those watching and those in the gallery, they probably know and 
remember the cartoon ``Schoolhouse Rock.'' I believe it was very clear 
in a simple cartoon: You go from the House. You go to the Senate. There 
is an amendment process. You have the opportunity to change, to amend, 
to perfect.
  Then, when each body has passed something, you go to a committee. 
Those individuals from the House and the Senate, they get together. 
They reach an agreement, and it is called a conference committee 
report, which we are led to believe this might be. With that come 
signatures on this report. Then it is presented to each body for final 
passage and then to the administration for signature.
  If this is, in fact, a conference committee report, how could it be? 
How could it be, Mr. Speaker? Because it would have had to have passed 
the House at some point this Congress, within the last 20 days, and 
then have passed the Senate different, and then differences reconciled, 
also with signatures.

  Mr. Speaker, I would ask, is my signature on any of this? To answer 
it for the Chair, it is no. I was chairman last year of the Financial 
Services Committee. We did have good-faith negotiations. Mr. Quigley is 
fantastic to work with. We were reaching consensus and had great 
compromise.
  So, today, to hear the other side say that this is what I agreed to 
is truly inaccurate, because you will not find my signature. You will 
not find any agreement from me on what is presented in the Financial 
Services portion.

[[Page H1154]]

  So this is not a good-faith effort. This is a repeat and a futile 
exercise that we have seen over the last 20 days.
  In fact, I doubt anybody is even watching, because you know where 
their attention is today? I hope it is in the Senate, where they are 
taking up the President's proposal--a true, good-faith effort to reopen 
the government, to secure our country, to secure the border, and to 
make sure that 800,000 Federal employees are being rightfully 
compensated.
  That is where the attention should be. I wish the House would take up 
similar, but in the spirit of compromise. We don't see it here.
  In fact, Mr. Speaker, I will draw your attention back about 11 months 
ago. I believe it was the now-Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, who 
holds the record for the longest single speech standing on the floor of 
the House, 8 hours and 7 minutes. It was over a very important issue. 
It was over DACA.
  The government went into a shutdown moment last year. There was this 
big debate about it. It was then-Minority-Leader Nancy Pelosi who took 
8 hours and 7 minutes to speak about this issue.
  Yet when the President, this weekend, makes a proposal about it, 
before he can even reach the lectern, Mr. Speaker, she is opposed to 
it. She is opposed to it.
  Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 4 minutes to the gentlewoman from 
Minnesota (Ms. McCollum), my good friend, the chair of the Interior, 
Environment, and Related Agencies Subcommittee.
  Ms. McCOLLUM. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of this omnibus 
appropriations bill, and I come to you in good faith with it.
  Two weeks ago, our colleagues on the other side of the aisle told us 
that they could not support the appropriations bills on the House floor 
because they reflected only the Senate's priorities.
  Well, there is good news today. The bill before us is a product of 
bipartisan negotiations. It reflects both the priorities of the House 
and the Senate. It is a compromise bill, and it will reopen our 
government.
  The interior and environment section provides $35.6 billion, which is 
$300 million more than the fiscal year 2018 enacted bill.
  We made critical investments in this legislation in Indian Country, 
environmental protection, public lands management, and the arts.
  The National Park Service is funded at $3.2 billion, an increase of 
more than $20 million. This money is more urgently needed than ever 
because of the damage at our national parks due to the Trump shutdown.
  The Land and Water Conservation Fund, which supports tens of 
thousands of projects all across the States, is funded at $435 million. 
That is a $10 million increase.
  The Environmental Protection Agency is funded at $8.8 billion. That 
is an increase of $17 million above the 2018 enacted level.
  Clean water and safe drinking water go hand-in-hand, so I am pleased 
that this bill includes $2.9 billion for the State revolving funds and 
$35 million for grants that reduce lead in drinking water, even at our 
schools. This funding will enhance the EPA's ability to protect human 
health and the health of our environment.
  We continue to invest in Historically Black Colleges and 
Universities, the Civil Rights Initiative grant program, the Historic 
Preservation Fund, and Save America's Treasures.
  Once again, we have worked in a bipartisan way to increase funding 
for the National Endowment for the Arts and for the National Endowment 
for the Humanities.
  Congress also continues its commitment to providing funds necessary 
for the Smithsonian to complete its rehabilitation on the beloved 
National Air and Space Museum.
  Finally, critically, it is important that this interior bill upholds 
the Federal Government's trust responsibilities to our Native American 
brothers and sisters. Funding for Indian Country is $1 billion more 
than the President's budget. It provides a $266 million increase in the 
Indian Health Service, the largest increase for any agency in this 
bill, and it is a $17 million increase for the Bureau of Indian 
Affairs.
  This bill is a lifeline to restart funding and stop the senseless 
cruelty of the Trump shutdown in Indian Country. Basic services like 
health clinics, Tribal Justice services, and food assistance for 
seniors are being put at risk for nearly 1.9 million Americans 
throughout Indian Country.
  As Democrats have continued to advance bills to reopen the 
government, to end the Trump shutdown, I have listened to my colleagues 
across the aisle. Our colleagues insisted that, if we brought up the 
conference negotiated bills, they would give their support.
  Well, this is it. This is the conference negotiated bill, and, Mr. 
Speaker, I am looking forward to their support.
  Programs in the interior bill impact all of us, from preserving our 
natural and cultural resources to protecting our health and our safety 
by ensuring clean air to breathe and clean water to drink, for today 
and for future generations.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues on both sides to support this bill, 
and I thank Mrs. Lowey for yielding me the time.
  Ms. GRANGER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 5 minutes to the gentleman from 
Nebraska (Mr. Fortenberry).
  Mr. FORTENBERRY. Mr. Speaker, I thank the ranking member, Ms. 
Granger, for her indulgence in letting me speak today. Let me thank our 
chair, Mrs. Lowey, as well for at least the ability today to have a 
discussion.

  Mr. Speaker, no one wins in a government shutdown. No one wins if the 
border is not secure. That is where we are.
  On my way here yesterday, as I was scrambling to get to the airport--
and I live in Nebraska, a relatively small State, so we all kind of 
know one another or at least kind of recognize one another. As I 
checked in with my boarding pass and showed the TSA agent my ID, he 
looked at me and he said: Can you vote for the bill?
  Now, given it is the Senate bill that is dominating the headlines, 
because it is a reasoned attempt to reach some type of consensus here, 
I looked at the TSA agent and I said: Yes, I can. I know this has been 
tough. How long can you hold out?
  He said: It is tough. I don't want to miss another paycheck, but I 
can hold out about 30 days.
  He said please. I thanked him for his service. Right now, I would 
like to thank all of the people who have come back to work without pay, 
who have done their duty, many under some hardship, because they know 
it is the right thing to do.
  Yet, what is also the right thing to do is to get past this logjam, 
this impasse, and to leverage this moment and to actually get an 
outcome, a bipartisan outcome, that secures our border.
  This weekend, the President, I thought, laid out a reasoned proposal 
that included a spectrum of immigration issues, most of which enjoy 
robust bipartisan support, including border security. And what do we 
need there? Personnel. We need technology, and we need enhanced 
barriers.
  Now, there is the possibility of some movement on these important 
questions of reopening the government and getting the right type of 
border security that now sits in the United States Senate. But I 
thought Senator Lankford made a good comment as well. He said this 
isn't a yes or a no proposition, on that particular bill. It is the 
starting point, again, for a reasoned debate about how we find some 
consensus.
  Mr. Speaker, America is a just and generous Nation, and we have 
opened our arms to people who wish to come here and embrace the values, 
people who have fled political or economic persecution and want to 
rebuild their lives. That is the hallmark of who we are.
  But charity cannot flow out of chaos. When you have disorder at the 
border, you have an inability to have a just and humanitarian system 
that is beneficial to America and to people in need all around the 
world.

                              {time}  1445

  And that, fundamentally, is what is at issue here today--not 
necessarily finding a compromise, but a consensus. A compromise implies 
that somebody may win and somebody may lose. Let's all win here. Let's 
get the government reopened with the right type of package that 
includes robust border security that can make America proud.
  Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from 
Illinois

[[Page H1155]]

(Mr. Quigley), my good friend and the chair of the Financial Services 
and General Government Subcommittee.
  Mr. QUIGLEY. Mr. Speaker, I thank Madam Chairwoman for yielding me 
time.
  During these heated times, we are accused of sometimes not listening 
to each other. Well, we listened to them. They all wanted the 
conference bills, and they have them. And I have heard today that what 
we need is a compromise on border security, which is interesting, 
because we are here on day 33 of the shutdown because of the 
President's singular focus, almost an obsession, on a symbolic but 
ineffective wall, not border security.
  He is holding the government, its workers, and the services they 
provide hostage because he has convinced himself, and surely his base, 
that the wall will protect us from violent crime and end the flow of 
illegal drugs.
  If the President actually believes that border security is the end 
goal of the wall, then fine, let's reopen the government and have that 
debate, because our plans for border security actually work.
  Enacting the bills before us today does nothing to preclude the 
President from continuing to make his case on the wall. He and the 
Republicans have simply concluded that by continuing to impose 
suffering on Federal workers and the public that relies on them, it 
strengthens their hand in negotiations in only one element of that, an 
ineffective element, the wall. That is not the way our government is 
designed to work, nor should it work. This is governing by extortion, 
and we should all stand together to reject such tactics.
  Democrats know that we can do more to strengthen border security, but 
it has to be done in a smart and effective way. We know that more than 
87 percent of the hard narcotics are coming through our official ports 
of entry. A wall will do nothing to stop that.
  That is why the Financial Services and General Government division of 
this bill responsibly puts money where it is most critically needed. It 
includes full funding for construction of two of the highest priority 
ports of entry along the southwest border to help stem the flow of 
illegal goods, narcotics, and people being smuggled into the country.
  Overall, this conference agreement provides $1.6 billion for border 
security, real border security, and we are prepared to do more. During 
my visit to the southern border in October, I was briefed on security 
needs, and I heard a lot about new cameras, sensors, radars mounted on 
towers, vehicles to spot moving people and objects, and for drones to 
surveil tough terrain, roads that are parallel to the border, all 
things that actually work.
  And at the ports of entry, they need new technology to eventually 
scan all commercial and passenger vehicles for illegal drugs and 
contraband. We can provide these resources. This bill shows that we are 
willing and able to put a downpayment on these bipartisan solutions. 
So, again, if it is about border security and that is why we are here, 
then fine, let's pass the bill, reopen the government, and have that 
debate.
  Ms. GRANGER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 4 minutes to the gentleman from 
Ohio (Mr. Joyce).
  Mr. JOYCE of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, I thank the ranking member from Texas 
for yielding and the chairwoman from New York.
  Mr. Speaker, I am honored to be speaking here today as the newly 
appointed ranking member of the Interior, Environment, and Related 
Agencies Appropriations Subcommittee. I am honored to be paired with 
the newly appointed chair of the subcommittee, my friend and fellow 
Great Lakes advocate, Congresswoman Betty McCollum from Minnesota. I am 
thrilled to be working with her in this capacity, and I look forward to 
many years of bipartisanship and collaboration on behalf of our 
constituents, our States, and our country.
  The Interior division of the omnibus bill before us today was 
negotiated in good faith by both House Republicans and House Democrats. 
It reflects bipartisan priorities and represents many months of hard 
work by the House Appropriations Committee.
  I am pleased that the bill includes $3.9 billion for the Department 
of the Interior and the United States Forest Service to fight 
devastating wildfires; $9 billion to increase the Federal commitment to 
our treaty and trust agreements with American Indians and Alaska 
Natives; over $3\1/2\ billion to improve our Nation's aging water 
infrastructure and improve public health; and $1.9 billion to reduce 
maintenance backlogs in our Nation's parks, trails, and wildlife 
refuges.
  However, the Interior piece of this bill was negotiated as part of a 
comprehensive package funding numerous critical government functions, 
including securing our Nation's southern border. House Republicans 
conditionally agreed to drop several high priority provisions in the 
Interior bill in exchange for other priorities in this comprehensive 
package, including strengthened border security.
  We were so close to finishing that package last year before the 
holidays, which would have fully funded our government, addressed the 
crisis at our southern border, and ensured all our Nation's Federal 
workers would continue receiving their paychecks, but, sadly, that is 
when the negotiations on border security broke down, and, shortly, 
thereafter, the government shut down.
  There is an old saying in negotiating that nothing is agreed to until 
everything is agreed to. And since a compromise has not been found on 
border security, this Interior bill and the other bills before us today 
are not a true conference agreement. To suggest otherwise would be to 
mislead the public in an attempt to gain political high ground on an 
issue that most of our constituents expect us to instead find common 
ground.

  We all agree that strengthening our borders is necessary, not only 
for our Nation, but also for the welfare of those willing to risk 
everything to enter this country illegally in pursuit of a better life. 
Let us be willing to risk the criticism that too often gets in the way 
of compromise. Let us have the courage to meet each other in the 
middle.
  Our constituents have been counting on us to reach agreement on 
border security and immigration policy since long before this 
government shutdown even started. So let's stop using the shutdown as 
an excuse to avoid a negotiation because no one wins in a shutdown and 
no one wins if the border isn't secure.
  I am willing to work with any and all of my House colleagues to break 
this impasse as quickly as possible. Until then, I must oppose this 
unfinished package before us today, and I urge my colleagues to do the 
same.
  Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Maryland (Mr. Hoyer), my good friend and the majority leader.
  Mr. HOYER. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman for yielding.
  Mr. Speaker, I am glad that Mr. Joyce is still on the floor. Mr. 
Joyce, I think, put his finger on the problem, and the problem is: Gee, 
I really like the Interior bill. It has been reached in a bipartisan 
fashion, and it is wonderful, but, by the way, the package is not 
perfect because it doesn't do what I want done or what the President of 
the United States wants done on one specific bill, Homeland Security.
  My goodness, I don't know why we didn't have an opportunity to 
conference on that bill. You brought it to the floor on December 20, 10 
days before the end of the year--10 days before the end of the year. If 
it was so important, why did we wait 11\2/3\ months to bring it to the 
floor? How could we conference a bill like that? There was no time.
  The reason you didn't bring it to the floor is you didn't have the 
votes. Mr. Joyce, Mr. Simpson, Mr. Cole all came to this floor when we 
considered another bill that was what the United States Senate 
Republicans wanted in their bills, and so we said we need to open up 
this government.
  Mr. Graves talked about and Mr. Joyce talked about consensus. Mr. 
Graves used the word ``consensus.'' Hopefully, we will have a consensus 
on this floor.
  Shutting down the government of the United States is stupid, 
irresponsible, and dangerous. That ought to be a consensus on this 
floor. And if that is the consensus, as it certainly is mine and 
certainly on my side of the aisle, then the cure is to open up 
government.
  We have offered 9, 10, 11 different alternatives to do that, most of 
which

[[Page H1156]]

were their bills formed in the last Congress under the Republican 
leadership in the House and the Senate. But, sadly, they won't take 
``yes'' for an answer, so they keep the government shut down.
  Only six Republicans in the last vote voted to open up government. 
Every Democrat, save one--and that had nothing to do with opening or 
shutting down government--voted to open up this government of the 
people and for the people.
  I served on appropriations for 23 years. I never voted to shut down 
the government, because the government is there to serve the people, 
and we swear an oath to protect and preserve. Somebody is now going to 
say: Well, we put something in a bill and you voted against it, Hoyer, 
and that was an appropriation bill. By the way, when I voted against 
it, it passed.
  Mr. Speaker, Democrats have been trying to open this government since 
the first day of our majority passing their bills. When I say ``their 
bills,'' the Republican bills; they were out of the Senate.
  On January 3, the Democratic-led House passed a package of six 
appropriations bills for fiscal year 2019 based on the language 
approved overwhelmingly in the Republican-controlled Senate, alongside 
a continuing resolution for the seventh bill funding Homeland Security, 
which, I will remind you, was not brought to this floor until December 
20, 2018.
  What a high priority they placed on that. They were in charge for 11 
months and 20 days, and they never brought it to the floor. High 
priority item, obviously.
  Senate Leader McConnell passed a bill through the Senate on a voice 
vote, I think, unanimously, and sent it to us, so government would be 
opened. We would have voted for it, all of us, but they didn't bring it 
to the floor.
  They brought a bill to the floor that said they wanted to do 
something on the wall. Why? Because the President wanted to do 
something with the wall. Why is the government shut down? Because the 
President will not allow the Congress of the United States to act to 
open it up. And Senator McConnell, for unknown reasons, believes that 
we have to have a by-your-leave, Mr. President, to open up this 
government.
  This is historic that we have shut down the government for this 
length of time. It is unforgivable that we have put 800,000 of our 
fellow citizens--people who work for this government, people who help 
millions of people every day to get assistance they need or documents 
that they have to have to settle on a home, or make sure that there is 
training for firefighters, or any one of thousands of different, 
critically important jobs that the Federal Government does--out of 
work. They, on the Republican side of the aisle, my colleagues, have 
done that. They have shut down the government. We have not.
  Unless you think taking a hostage and demanding a ransom and having 
us not agree to that ransom is shutting down the government, and, 
therefore, you have to vote over and over and over and over and over 
again to keep the government of the people shut down.
  During the second week of January, we passed, on an individual basis 
four appropriations bills that passed the Republican Senate last year 
92-6. Is that a partisan act on our part offering four bills that 
passed the United States Senate, which they controlled, 92-6? When I 
say ``they,'' I mean, the Republican Party. These are not Democratic 
bills we are trying to pass through with some majority we have. We took 
their bills. Why? Because we have a consensus: shutting down the 
government is the wrong thing to do.

                              {time}  1500

  And very frankly, I think privately, if you are asked that question, 
presumably most of you respond with a consensus answer: ``You are 
right, it is. We shouldn't do that.''
  As the urgency of this shutdown grew last week, House Democrats 
attempted to send a continuing resolution at last year's funding 
levels.
  Now, it is important to understand, last year's funding levels are 
the levels that were set when the Republicans were in charge of the 
House and the Senate, not Democratic numbers.
  This is not a partisan issue. This is an issue about doing the right 
thing: opening up the government. So we were prepared to send your 
bills, and you voted against your own bills.
  I can't understand it, and I can't understand why anybody in America 
doesn't understand that we are for opening up government and the 
Republicans are repeatedly and consistently voting not to open up the 
government. House Republicans rejected those four bills that were 
Republican bills.
  Next, we voted to add an amendment to reopen the government through 
February 8, a short term--give us time to talk and discuss and see if 
we can come to agreement. It seems to me to make sense. That is usually 
what short-term CRs are for. We may yet find out tomorrow whether 
Senate Republicans can agree to reopen government under those terms. I 
hope they do.
  In the meantime, late last week, we also brought a continuing 
resolution to the floor to reopen the government through February 28. 
Okay. Maybe we need a longer time to negotiate.
  Democrats have been trying to end this Trump-McConnell shutdown 
nonstop since taking control of this House. That work continues this 
week as we bring to the floor a new appropriations package.
  As we debated the Senate-authored versions--let me say that again, 
the Senate-authored versions, not our versions--of funding bills 
earlier this month, some of my Republican colleagues came to this floor 
and said that their objection to it was because it did not reflect the 
House position.
  Now, ladies and gentlemen, you just heard Mr. Joyce talk about the 
Interior bill. Presumably, if the Interior bill were here alone, he 
would vote against it because it didn't have national security interest 
in it. On that theory, we ought to vote against 11 of the bills that we 
don't like individually, but you brought them as packages last time. I 
thought that was a good example.
  We are going to do it again. But the fact of the matter is it is not 
because you are disagreeing with your bill--you come as the ranking 
member, I say to my friend, Mr. Speaker--but because of some other 
issue. We can all find some other issue.
  So I think there is a consensus that shutting down the government is 
the wrong thing to do, and unless you believe that shutting down 
government is okay, you will vote ``yes'' on these bills to open up our 
government, the people's government. Serve your constituents and the 
American people, generally.
  I don't know why you keep voting ``no'' just because the President 
tells you to do so. That is not what your constituents sent you here to 
do. Our constituents sent us here, Mr. Speaker, to serve them. The 
writers of the Constitution of the United States didn't say the 
President tells Congress what to do. They said Congress tells the 
President what to do, and he executes that policy.
  That is what separation of powers is all about. Not for Senator 
McConnell to say: Unless the President says it is okay, I am not going 
to put a bill on the floor. What kind of misreading of the Constitution 
of the United States is that?
  We are the policymakers of America. We are the ones who send to the 
President. Yes, he has a role, a critical role. He can veto, and we 
need two-thirds to override his veto, but it is not to say: Mr. 
President, we won't even put it on the floor for the Representatives of 
the people of the United States to express their opinion on unless you 
say okay.
  Let's get a spine. Let's stand up. Let's act like the Article I 
institution we represent. Let us be independent.
  Let us have what democracy demands: differences of opinion argued 
out, not by taking hostages, not by demanding ransom, but by 
discussion, by debate, and by votes. That is what democracy is about.
  And if it becomes common practice for President Trump or any other 
President to say to us: ``If I don't like what you are doing, I am 
going to shut down your government''--that is what is happening here.
  It is not just about a wall. It is about whether tomorrow the 
President is going to make some other demand and shut down the 
government, or tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow when the President 
makes another demand and shuts down the government.

[[Page H1157]]

  When will it stop, my friends? Maybe never, but it will not continue 
with my vote.
  Vote for this bill. Open up the people's government. Stand up and be 
what America believes you are, an independent, coequal branch of the 
Government of the United States. Vote ``yes'' for your country and for 
the people you represent.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to address their 
remarks to the Chair.
  Ms. GRANGER. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to vote ``no'' on the 
bill before us today, and I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, Democrats have been clear throughout the 
Trump shutdown. We support investing in strong, smart, and effective 
border security, and we are prepared to negotiate once the government 
is reopened.
  The solution to the Trump shutdown is simple: Reopen the government; 
pay off Federal employees; then negotiate on border security. Our 
proposal will form the basis for these eventual negotiations.
  It is time to end the Trump shutdown. Vote for this package of six 
bills that reflects conference agreements where we worked together from 
last year. Reopen most of the government. Let workers get paid. Vote 
``yes.''
  Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support the 
consolidated package of six appropriations bills and reopen the federal 
government.
  This unprecedented shutdown has ground our country to a halt.
  Every day this shutdown continues, families in my district suffer a 
cruel fate. From missed paychecks, uncertainty in food benefits, to 
delays in critical efforts that protect the health and safety of our 
country.
  The shutdown impacts Universities conducting critical research, in my 
region, at the University of Toledo. Twenty-five percent of the 
University of Toledo's research awards are from agencies affected by 
the shutdown. Anticipated grants are now delayed.
  This week, nine of UT's researchers on aerospace projects for NASA 
Glenn Research Center in Cleveland will be placed on leave without pay.
  Aquatic ecologists fighting invasive Asian carp in the Great Lakes 
have been put on hold.
  The health of the Great Lakes is in danger. This is not the time to 
risk the vitality of our region on partisan bickering. I would like to 
include in the Record the following article about the impacts of the 
shutdown on EPA inspectors unable to protect our water.
  I call on all my colleagues to support this effort and reopen 
government.

                [From the New York Times, Jan. 9, 2019]

      Shutdown Means E.P.A. Pollution Inspectors Aren't on the Job

                          (By Coral Davenport)

       Washington.--The two-week-old shutdown has halted one of 
     the federal government's most important public health 
     activities, the inspections of chemical factories, power 
     plants, oil refineries, water treatment plants, and thousands 
     of other industrial sites for pollution violations.
       The Environmental Protection Agency has furloughed most of 
     its roughly 600 pollution inspectors and other workers who 
     monitor compliance with environmental laws. Those scientists, 
     engineers and analysts are responsible for detecting 
     violations that endanger human health, as they did, for 
     example during an August 2018 airborne inspection that found 
     that oil and gas fields in Karnes County, Tex., were leaking 
     illegal levels of chemicals into the atmosphere, in violation 
     of the Clean Air Act.
       While the inspection personnel represent a relatively small 
     proportion of the E.P.A.'s total of about 15,000 workers, 
     their absence increases the chances that, either by design or 
     by accident, companies might emit illegal levels of 
     contaminants into the air or water without detection, for 
     weeks on end, according to people familiar with the E.P.A. 
     inspections.
       ``There are plants that discharge wastewater into streams 
     and rivers, places that store hazardous chemicals in 
     containers that could leak--we show up and test these places 
     to see if they're meeting pollution laws,'' said Garth 
     Connor, a furloughed E.P.A. inspector based in Philadelphia 
     who has been off the job since Monday. ``Now there's nobody 
     out there to check if they're complying.''
       Mr. Connor inspects for air and water pollution and 
     hazardous waste disposal at sites throughout the Mid-
     Atlantic.
       The inspectors ``are the cops on the beat,'' Cynthia Giles, 
     who headed the E.P.A. enforcement division during the Obama 
     administration, wrote in an email.
       She noted that, in 2017, E.P.A. workers performed about 
     11,700 such inspections, averaging to about 225 inspections 
     per week, according to the agency's records. The numbers 
     suggest that hundreds of such inspections may have already 
     been canceled this year, with the potential for hundreds more 
     to not take place should the shutdown continue for days or 
     weeks more. ``Those weeks can never be made up,'' Ms. Giles 
     wrote. ``In addition to the violations not found and the 
     inspections not done, there is also the impact of no 
     inspectors in the field doing unannounced inspections,'' she 
     added, asking: ``Will that result in more violations because 
     companies know E.P.A. isn't watching?''
       Andrew Wheeler, the acting administrator of the E.P.A., did 
     not respond to an email requesting comment. On Wednesday, 
     President Trump formally nominated Mr. Wheeler, who was 
     confirmed last year as the deputy chief of the agency, to 
     formally take over as the agency head. When on the job, 
     E.P.A. inspectors regularly cite companies for violations 
     that endanger human health. For example, during an April 2016 
     inspection at a Firestone rubber plant in Sulphur, La., 
     E.P.A. inspectors discovered that the plant was emitting 
     illegal levels of butadiene, a carcinogen, into the 
     community.
       A telephone message left at the plant was not returned.
       Some E.P.A. inspections are unannounced. Others take the 
     form of two- and three-week on-site visits.
       Still other examinations don't happen on-site: E.P.A. 
     experts sitting in labs or at computers will review documents 
     detailing a plant's own reported emissions of pollution or 
     wastewater, checking whether legal limits were met or 
     violated. These activities, too, are on pause during the 
     shutdown.
       Inspectors need to read those reports ``and say, `no, you 
     can't do that,' '' said Eric Schaeffer, who worked at the 
     E.P.A. on enforcement from 1990 to 2002 and now runs the 
     Environmental Integrity Project, an advocacy group. ``Then 
     they follow up and go on-site. But none of that is 
     happening.''
       Unlike other federal agencies affected by the government 
     shutdown, the E.P.A. continued to operate through the week of 
     Dec. 24, but pollution inspections, along with most of the 
     rest of the work of the agency, had ceased by New Year's Eve.
       Mr. Schaeffer recalled the effect on pollution enforcement 
     of the longest government shutdown in history, which ran from 
     Dec. 16, 1995, to Jan. 6, 1996.
       ``That was one of the worst years ever at the E.P.A. in 
     terms of numbers of inspections and enforcement,'' he said. 
     He added that the damage to the work of pollution inspections 
     didn't end completely once the government reopened. 
     ``Everything was ground to a halt, bogged down. You can't 
     just restart at 100 miles per hour. You have to reschedule 
     everything.'' Another former E.P.A. official who now lobbies 
     on behalf of industry offered a different view, saying that a 
     shutdown of even a few weeks was unlikely to make much 
     difference in the amount of illegal pollution emitted or 
     detected.
       ``What you have is a delay,'' said the former official, 
     Jeffrey Holmstead, who served in the E.P.A. during both Bush 
     administrations and now works for some of the largest coal 
     companies and electric utilities in the country. ``I don't 
     think it's true that all of a sudden, because E.P.A.'s 
     inspectors are not there, that most people will take 
     advantage of that,'' he said. ``There may be a few folks who 
     believe they can get away with more, but I don't think that's 
     the biggest issue.''
       Among Mr. Holmstead's clients are several companies that 
     have been cited for violations by the E.P.A., including the 
     electric utility Southern Company, which has had 52 sites 
     with violations over the past five years, including 23 sites 
     with current violations, according to E.P.A.'s enforcement 
     database. An email sent to a Southern Company spokesman 
     requesting comment on the violations was not answered.
       Another of Mr. Holmstead's clients, the electric utility, 
     Ameren, owns 23 sites that have been cited for pollution 
     violations over the past five years. A telephone message left 
     with an Ameren spokeswoman was not returned.
       In many years, about 10 to 20 percent of the E.P.A.'s 
     pollution inspections turn up significant violations, 
     according to the agency's data.
       Most operators ``really are doing a good job,'' said Adam 
     Kushner, a former top legal official at the E.P.A. ``But 
     there's a 1 percent that are bad actors, who will continue to 
     do what they're going to do, unless inspectors find them. And 
     then there are sites where the operator just may not have 
     identified the problem, and they're putting bad stuff out 
     into the air without knowing it.''
       Angela McFadden, a furloughed E.P.A. environmental engineer 
     who oversees state permits for pollution discharge and has 
     worked as an on-site inspector dealing with clean water 
     violations, said she ``always'' found violations during her 
     time as an inspector.
       For example, she said, in inspecting municipal water 
     systems in rural areas she frequently found that cities and 
     towns over-chlorinated or under-chlorinated their water--not 
     a legal violation, but a potentially harmful situation that 
     is easily corrected when identified by an inspector.
       Ms. McFadden recalled a more frightening inspection she 
     once performed in Pennsylvania that found excessive nitrate 
     levels in a municipal water supply. Nitrates can sap oxygen 
     from the blood and, when found in high levels in drinking 
     water, are linked to ``blue baby syndrome,'' in which infants 
     struggle to deliver enough oxygen to their bodies.
       ``Right now, E.P.A. is not monitoring any of that,'' Ms. 
     McFadden said. ``Things are falling through the cracks.''

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. All time for debate has expired.
  Pursuant to House Resolution 61, the previous question is ordered on 
the bill.
  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. GRANGER. Mr. Speaker, I have a motion to recommit at the dais.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is the gentlewoman opposed to the bill?
  Ms. GRANGER. I am, in its current form.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to 
recommit.
  The Clerk read as follows:

       Ms. Granger moves to recommit the bill H.R. 648 to the 
     Committee on Appropriations with instructions to report the 
     same back to the House forthwith with the following 
     amendment:
       Strike section 1 and all that follows and insert the 
     following: ``There are appropriated, out of any money in the 
     Treasury not otherwise appropriated, such sums as may be 
     necessary for the pay of any employee furloughed or excepted 
     during the lapse in appropriations beginning on December 22, 
     2018, as authorized by subsection (c) of section 1341 of 
     title 31, United States Code (as added by the Government 
     Employee Fair Treatment Act of 2019).''.
  Ms. GRANGER (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 Texas?
  There was no objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the rule, the gentlewoman from 
Texas is recognized for 5 minutes in support of her motion.
  Ms. GRANGER. Mr. Speaker, my motion amends the bill by striking all 
of its contents and replacing it with an appropriation to ensure 
Federal employees will get the backpay they deserve.
  I am offering this motion because the overall bill we are considering 
today does not address the Department of Homeland Security's funding 
requirements to secure the border. Therefore, we know the President 
will not support it, so it will not reopen the Federal Government or 
ensure our employees are paid.
  Last week, I essentially offered this same motion, which, again, will 
immediately provide the backpay our hardworking Federal employees have 
earned since this shutdown began.
  This should be something that all Members of this Chamber support, so 
it is troubling that my friends on the other side of the aisle chose to 
vote against this measure when it was brought to the floor last week. 
So we are giving them yet another opportunity to end the political 
gamesmanship and vote for this measure today.
  This shutdown has caused real-world consequences for Federal 
employees, such as Border Patrol and DEA agents, TSA personnel, air 
traffic controllers, and the hundreds of thousands of other Federal 
employees suffering during this shutdown.
  These employees have bills to pay and families to support. This 
motion will ensure that they are able to do that immediately while we 
continue working toward a permanent solution that will reopen the 
government.
  We need to start working on legislation that can be enacted into law. 
This motion is one such measure.
  Federal employees should not suffer because of the Democrats' refusal 
to negotiate.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge a ``yes'' vote on the motion, and I yield back 
the balance of my time.
  Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I claim the time in opposition to the 
motion.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman from New York is recognized 
for 5 minutes.
  Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I want to make it very clear to my 
colleagues: This motion to recommit will ensure the government remains 
closed. It will be irresponsible to adopt this motion.
  This means all those people who are not getting paid will continue 
not to get a paycheck to support their families. They will not be able 
to go to the supermarket and act like normal families. This is totally 
irresponsible.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to strongly reject this motion, 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. GRANGER. Mr. Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays.
  The yeas and nays were ordered.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XX, this 15-
minute vote on the motion to recommit will be followed by a 5-minute 
vote on passage of the bill.
  The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 200, 
nays 215, not voting 17, as follows:
