7 women have been injured by an intimate partner; 1 in 10 women have 
been raped by an intimate partner; and 1 in 7 women have been stalked.
  Let those numbers sink in for a moment. These are more than just 
numbers. These are our mothers, sisters, daughters, friends, and 
colleagues in this Chamber.
  Today's motion to recommit would extend the Violence Against Women 
Act through 2020 in order to continue critical services that protect 
millions of women, girls, and children across our country.
  I have a proven track record of supporting VAWA, and today I am 
continuing the fight by standing up for the victims and survivors to 
make sure their voices are heard.
  Last year, I introduced legislation that would extend the Violence 
Against Women Act; and then just last month, I introduced another bill 
that would reauthorize this program.
  We all know, in this Chamber, that the bill Speaker Pelosi has put on 
the floor today will not pass the Senate and be signed into law. 
However, my bill, this motion to recommit, could pass the House, the 
Senate, and be signed into law this week.
  This extension gives Republicans and Democrats time to work together 
to pass a truly bipartisan, long-term reauthorization of VAWA, just as 
Congress has done many times before.
  Sadly, there has been very little effort from my Democratic 
colleagues to meaningfully engage in a process to reauthorize VAWA that 
could pass with broad bipartisan support.
  The Democratic bill, H.R. 1585, was referred to seven House 
committees, but was only reported out of the Judiciary Committee on a 
party-line vote. It politicizes VAWA, and could put women, girls, and 
children at potential risk in the future.
  Ending violence against women and protecting women and children 
should not be a partisan issue. But, unfortunately, Speaker Pelosi and 
House Democrats have made it a partisan issue. They have refused to 
work with Republicans in a meaningful way to reauthorize the Violence 
Against Women Act every chance they got, including most recently in 
February during spending negotiations.
  House Democrats are the reason this law has lapsed, putting lives in 
jeopardy, and leaving victims, survivors, and families at risk. Every 
single minute that this critical, lifesaving program goes unauthorized 
is another minute that women who need help can't get it.
  I ask my colleagues today; can we stop playing political games at the 
expense of vulnerable women?
  We must. Voting ``yes'' on this motion to recommit is the only 
opportunity to extend current law. Voting ``no'' on this motion to 
recommit means that you are voting to end the Violence Against Women 
Act and, instead, knowingly voting for a partisan bill that will never 
see the light of day in the Senate. This will collect dust in the 
Senate.
  Once again, the Democratic bill on the floor today will collect dust 
in the Senate. Scoring political points, we should never prioritize 
that over the millions of women and children in this country.
  Let's pass this clean extension today to extend the Violence Against 
Women Act. Fight for millions of women in this country. Fight for 
survivors. Fight for victims.
  I am asking you to vote ``yes'' on the motion to recommit, and I 
yield back the balance of my time.
  Mrs. DINGELL. Madam Speaker, I rise in opposition to this motion to 
recommit.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman from Michigan is recognized 
for 5 minutes.
  Mrs. DINGELL. Madam Speaker, I have nothing but great respect for my 
colleague who offered this; and I do wish that we could do this 
together and not politicize it. But that is exactly what we are doing.
  This motion to recommit would just totally undermine this bill 
because it is a short and incomplete reauthorization; and it undermines 
the Violence Against Women Act and this important effort to reauthorize 
it.
  This bill takes out things that have become so basic, like the Rape 
Prevention Fund, testing of rape case kits, which is a horror across 
this country in how many haven't been tested.
  It takes away child abuse training. None of that is in this motion to 
recommit.
  And what makes me really sad is that this bill is one of the most 
successful laws this House has passed. In the 25 years since it was 
enacted, violence against women by a spouse, or an intimate partner, 
has dropped by 65 percent. We need to build on that progress.
  Since then, victims, survivors, and the communities where we live 
have relied on the Congress to help provide resources needed to prevent 
and investigate these crimes and to assist survivors.
  I remember what it was like. I remember what it was like when you

[[Page H3086]]

called the police and they didn't come because your father was an 
important man in town.
  I remember what it was like when someone on our college campus was 
raped, and the police came to them and said: ``It's your fault'' and 
would do nothing.
  And I don't want anybody in this House to forget that Michigan State 
University, with hundreds of victims, was only brought to the forefront 
last year, when hundreds of victims tried to tell people something was 
happening, and nobody would listen. We cannot go back to those days. 
Since the original passage of this bill, we have learned from 
experience and from the unfortunate continued perpetuation of these 
crimes.
  This House, together, on a bipartisan basis, we authorized VAWA in 
2000, 2005, and 2013. This bill builds on our progress and success. We 
must not only reauthorize it, but make its programs even more 
effective, and help survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, and 
other forms of harm with issues that they face.

  Women are staying in these situations because they need to go to the 
doctor and they can't afford healthcare; they can't find a place to 
live; they don't have economic security. These are among the issues 
that this bill is trying to address.
  This motion to recommit would kill the bill, and it leaves victims 
vulnerable.
  I do volunteer work at these domestic--at places where people go for 
domestic abuse.
  Have you talked to anybody there? Do you know how scared they are 
because funding is already being impacted?
  Stepping back means looking the other way when victimization is 
taking place; and they are counting on us to do something. That is why 
we cannot undermine this important law.
  And I am going to say one other thing. Do not let the NRA bully you. 
This is not a poison pill. The provision in this bill--don't forget who 
I was married to. John Dingell was on the NRA board. Hell, he helped 
start it. But all this does--we are not taking away due process. All 
this does is say that if someone has been convicted, convicted, as an 
intimate partner, that they would not have access to a gun. And if 
someone has been convicted of stalking--
  You know what I would say to all of you?

                          Personal Explanation

  Mr. RYAN. Mr. Speaker, due to a conflict on Thursday, April 4, 2019, 
I was not present to cast my vote on the Republican Motion to Recommit 
on H.R. 1585 and Final Passage of H.R. 1585, the Violence Against Women 
Reauthorization Act of 2019.
  As a cosponsor of H.R. 1585, I wholeheartedly support reauthorization 
of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). Had I been present my vote 
would have been NAY on Roll Call 155 and YEA on Roll Call 156.

                          ____________________
