So the amendment was agreed to.
The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
Amendment No. 48 Offered by Mr. Jeffries
The Acting CHAIR (Ms. Plaskett). It is now in order to consider
amendment No. 48 printed in part B of House Report 116-109.
Mr. JEFFRIES. Madam Chairwoman, I have an amendment at the desk.
The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:
At the end of division A (before the short title), insert
the following:
Sec. __. None of the funds made available by this Act may
be used in contravention of section 203 of the Department of
Education Organization Act (20 U.S.C. 3413).
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 431, the gentleman
from New York (Mr. Jeffries) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from New York.
Mr. JEFFRIES. Madam Chairwoman, let me first just thank the
distinguished gentlewoman from Connecticut, the chair of the
subcommittee, for her tremendous work in connection with this bill.
The mission of the Office for Civil Rights is to ensure access to
education and to promote educational excellence throughout the Nation
through vigorous enforcement of civil rights. However, this
administration and Secretary DeVos have methodically worked to limit
the effectiveness of the Office for Civil Rights at the Department of
Education.
This amendment would prohibit any funds in the underlying measure to
be used to thwart the important work that is done by the Office for
Civil Rights. This administration has gone out of its way to hurt
students of color and undermine diversity in a variety of ways. They
have eliminated guidance, encouraging schools to endeavor towards
diversity in admissions, and they have rescinded guidance issued by the
previous administration directing schools to reduce racial disparities
in how they discipline students.
Frederick Douglass said: ``It is easier to build strong children than
it is to repair broken men.''
Excellence in academic and educational preparation is an important
part of the American Dream, and every single child in this country,
regardless of race, regardless of gender, and regardless of religion
should have access to the highest quality education. That is the
mission of the Department of Education and the role of the Office for
Civil Rights within that department.
By prohibiting the use of funds in the underlying measure from being
used to limit the functions of the Office for Civil Rights, we are
taking a necessary step toward ensuring that in this country, the
pursuit of excellence in education will be available to every single
child.
I urge my colleagues to support this amendment, and I yield 1 minute
to the gentlewoman from Connecticut (Ms. DeLauro), the distinguished
chair of the subcommittee.
Ms. DeLAURO. Madam Chairwoman, I thank the gentleman for yielding.
I rise in support of this amendment and the Department of Education
Office for Civil Rights. The legacy of access to education in America
is intertwined with the legacy of civil rights in this country.
Education remains a civil rights issue today.
The Office for Civil Rights has as its mission, `` . . . to ensure
equal access to education and to promote educational excellence through
vigorous enforcement,'' and I underscore, ``vigorous enforcement of
civil rights in our Nation's schools.''
{time} 0100
There are strong concerns, very strong concerns, that this Department
of Education's Office of Civil Rights is not upholding this mission.
This amendment would ensure that the critical mission of OCR is not
undermined and that equal access and treatment is present throughout
our Nation's schools. I support my colleague's amendment.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I claim the time in opposition.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Maryland is recognized for 5
minutes.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. JEFFRIES. Madam Chair, I yield 1 minute to the distinguished
gentlewoman from Massachusetts (Ms. Pressley).
[[Page H4605]]
Ms. PRESSLEY. Madam Chair, I rise today in support of this amendment
and applaud my friend and colleague, Representative Jeffries, for his
leadership in the fight against this calloused administration and its
efforts to roll back critical civil rights protections for millions of
students across this country.
Under Secretary DeVos' failed leadership, OCR has scuttled more than
1,200 civil rights complaints, hastily dismissing cases, closing
investigations, and depriving students and families of justice.
At the same time, the Education Department has taken one action after
another to make schools less safe for Black and Brown students, queer
and trans students, students with disabilities, and sexual assault
survivors.
The Department has rescinded critical Obama-era guidance intended to
protect students from excessive disciplinary practices that
disproportionately push out Black and Brown students and students with
disabilities and exacerbate the school-to-prison pipeline.
The agency has proposed rules that would make it harder for survivors
of sexual violence to seek justice and easier for K-12 schools and
universities to sweep these cases under the rug.
Instead of ensuring that all students have access to quality
education, she embraces and promotes private schools and voucher
schemes that would funnel Federal funds to schools that explicitly
discriminate against LGBTQ students, all while defanging the very
office intended to enforce the law and do right by students and
families.
Our amendment would block Secretary DeVos' efforts to dismantle this
office. We finally say enough is enough.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I am not sure what this amendment does
because it just says that you can't change the Office of Civil Rights
in contravention of the statute that set up the Department. There is no
change in the Office of Civil Rights.
The bottom line is that the Department of Education enforces civil
rights laws. Yes, there was misguided guidance by the last
administration that actually decreased discipline in the schools in my
district because the teachers in my district and the administrators in
my district were scared that they would lose Federal funds if they
disciplined students because they had to do paperwork, and there were
reports, and the Department of Education was going to come down on
them. Discipline suffered.
The bottom line is that the record of this administration on
minorities is clear: the lowest unemployment in history for African
Americans in the country and the lowest unemployment in history for
Hispanics in this country.
The record of this administration in dealing with minorities is
clear. It has provided economic opportunity for tens of millions of
minorities in this country. The Office of Civil Rights works in the
Department of Education, and I oppose the amendment.
Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. JEFFRIES. Madam Chair, the Brown v. Board of Education decision
was a historic and important step and a strong step in the right
direction. We have come a long way in this country, but we still have a
long way to go as it relates to providing equal access to education.
This amendment is pretty simple. It says to the Secretary: Keep your
hands off the Office of Civil Rights.
Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, we have heard the debate. I don't know if
vouchers are brought into this debate.
It is interesting because, with vouchers like the OSP program in the
District of Columbia, 97 percent of the students are minorities. That
is a voucher program, and 97 percent are minorities supported by the
administration. The majority just yesterday rejected an increase in
funding to that program that benefits 97 percent that are minorities.
Let's get civil rights straight. If my colleagues support opportunity
and education for minorities in this country, that is what the
administration is doing.
Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentleman from New York (Mr. Jeffries).
The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes
appeared to have it.
Mr. ROY. Madam Chair, I demand a recorded vote.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further
proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from New York
will be postponed.
Amendment No. 49 Offered by Mr. Sean Patrick Maloney of New York
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 49
printed in part B of House Report 116-109.
Mr. SEAN PATRICK MALONEY of New York. Madam Chair, I have an
amendment at the desk.
The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:
Page 52, line 16, insert after the first dollar amount the
following: ``(reduced by $5,000,000) (increased by
$5,000,000)''.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 431, the gentleman
from New York (Mr. Sean Patrick Maloney) and a Member opposed each will
control 5 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from New York.
Mr. SEAN PATRICK MALONEY of New York. Madam Chair, I rise today on
the anniversary of a day 3 years ago when we were mourning a terrible
loss because of a gun massacre in Florida that affected my community in
particular.
I rise to offer an amendment to the Department of Labor, HHS, and
Education Appropriations Act that will set aside $5 million of funding
for gun violence research in our schools. This bill rightfully includes
$25 million for gun violence research funding at the Centers for
Disease Control. This funding is critical when 100 Americans die every
day because of gun violence.
Ninety-four schools across our country had shooting incidents last
year. That is the largest number of school shootings in a single year
since 1970.
The other side has held gun violence research hostage for more than
two decades by refusing to appropriate dedicated funds for gun violence
research--just research. Now that we are finally able to look into this
public health crisis, we need to address it head-on.
As a Representative and as a dad who sends his kids to public school
every day and whose worst nightmare is that someone will use a gun to
hurt them or their friends, I am asking that we take action to stop
school shootings now. The lives and safety of our kids are at risk, all
of our kids, and we have almost no data on what is happening.
This funding will treat gun violence in our schools just like we
treat any other public health crisis and finally give the CDC the
funding it desperately needs to help us find answers on how to address
these ongoing acts of violence.
As we know, quality data can lead to breakthrough solutions.
Investing in research on car accidents and the risk of smoking has led
to policies that have saved countless lives. We can finally free and
empower researchers to study the unique impacts and causes of gun
violence in schools, examine the data, and formulate solutions that
will save lives, children's lives.
I urge support of my amendment.
Madam Chair, I yield to the gentlewoman from Connecticut (Ms.
DeLauro) for her remarks.
Ms. DeLAURO. Madam Chair, I rise in support of this amendment that
calls for the CDC to specifically study the impact of firearm violence
in elementary and secondary schools and higher education institutions.
Earlier this year, our subcommittee held a hearing on gun violence
prevention research. I might add, it was the first one we have been
able to hold in 20 years in this institution, 20 years until we were
able to have a hearing on gun violence prevention and research.
We highlighted that gun violence is a public health emergency and
that it needs to be responded to with evidence-based interventions.
Just as we do for other public health challenges, we must conduct
research to know how to best address the impact and which interventions
will be most effective.
The underlying bill that we are considering tonight includes $50
million of dedicated funding for firearm injury and mortality research
at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National
Institutes of Health. This
[[Page H4606]]
amendment specifically focuses on the impact of firearm violence on
students in our schools and higher education institutions.
Unfortunately, so many communities have students who have been
affected by firearm violence. In my own State of Connecticut, we have
all been affected by the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School in
2012, a slaughter of the innocents.
Madam Chair, I urge my colleagues to support this amendment.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I rise in opposition to the amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Maryland is recognized for 5
minutes.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. SEAN PATRICK MALONEY of New York. Madam Chair, I yield back the
balance of my time.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, read the plain language of the amendment. It
decreases an amount, and it increases an amount. That is all it does.
It doesn't increase funding for firearm violence.
If the gentleman were so interested in doing more, more research, he
could have increased the amount. He didn't increase the amount.
At 1 o'clock in the morning, we are talking about a do-nothing
amendment instead of bringing a supplemental bill to the floor that
funds the care of children at our border that has been rejected by the
majority time and time again.
Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentleman from New York (Mr. Sean Patrick Maloney).
The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes
appeared to have it.
Mr. ROY. Madam Chair, I demand a recorded vote.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further
proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from New York
will be postponed.
Amendment No. 50 Offered by Ms. Adams
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 50
printed in part B of House Report 116-109.
Ms. ADAMS. Madam Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.
The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:
Page 134, line 20, after the first dollar amount, insert
``(reduced by $500,000)''.
Page 130, line 16, after the first dollar amount, insert
``(increased by $500,000)''.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 431, the gentlewoman
from North Carolina (Ms. Adams) and a Member opposed each will control
5 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from North Carolina.
Ms. ADAMS. Madam Chair, I want to first offer my thanks to Chairwoman
DeLauro and our other appropriators for their tireless work on this
year's Labor-HHS bill.
I offer this amendment to recognize the important work of the
National Center for College Students with Disabilities and to press the
Senate to act.
The national center, located in Huntersville, North Carolina, sets as
its mission to improve retention and graduation rates of U.S. college
students with disabilities. It accomplishes this through technical
assistance and outreach and the dissemination of peer-reviewed research
that tries to determine the needs of disabled college students, their
families, disabled service providers, and higher education staff and
faculty.
Additionally, the center has developed and is constantly updating a
public clearinghouse that contains disability resources at institutions
of higher education across the U.S. This allows disabled students to
access crucial information to intelligently assess their higher
education options.
Last but not least, the center empowers its students through the
dissemination of a weekly newsletter that reports current events and
news about the disabled in higher education, promulgated by its student
group DREAM, or Disability Rights, Education, Activism, and Mentoring.
To sum up, the center has been a godsend for the 20 percent of
college students who have some form of disability since its $2.5
million authorization in 2015, and that expires at the end of this
fiscal year.
Madam Chair, this amendment would add $500,000 to the higher
education account, which funds the national center. If passed, it will
be used in conference with the Senate to justify a new authorization.
Without more funding, the center will close in June 2020, wasting 5
years' worth of taxpayer dollars used to create groundbreaking research
for our disabled students. It would leave thousands of higher education
staff, faculty, and students without support for the disabled in higher
education.
The center has bipartisan support on the Education and Labor
Committee, and it is expected to be included in the next Higher
Education Act reauthorization.
I thank the chair of the Higher Education and Workforce Development
Subcommittee, Representative Susan Davis, as well as Representatives
Huffman, Moulton, Bonamici, and Lowenthal for cosponsoring this
amendment, and I urge the House for its support.
Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
{time} 0115
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I rise in opposition to the amendment, even
though I don't oppose the amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, the gentleman from Maryland is
recognized for 5 minutes.
There was no objection.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, this is a modest request, but it is offset
by a reduction in departmental management funds.
Now, there are a number of amendments that do that. Obviously, if we
do too many amendments that do that, you will leave nothing for the
department to be properly managed. But this is a modest request, so I
believe we should support the amendment.
I yield back the balance of my time.
Ms. ADAMS. Madam Chair, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from
Connecticut (Ms. DeLauro).
Ms. DeLAURO. Madam Chair, I rise in support of this amendment. It
draws attention to the importance of the National Center for College
Students with Disabilities.
The center is the only Federally funded national center in the
country for college and graduate students with any type of
disabilities, chronic health conditions, or mental or emotional
illness.
It supports students with disabilities in higher education and
provides technical assistance to students, to faculty, and to families.
I thank the gentlewoman for offering this amendment and am happy to
accept it.
Ms. ADAMS. Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentlewoman from North Carolina (Ms. Adams).
The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes
appeared to have it.
Mr. ROY. Madam Chair, I demand a recorded vote.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further
proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from North
Carolina will be postponed.
Amendment No. 51 Offered by Ms. Adams
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 51
printed in part B of House Report 116-109.
Ms. ADAMS. Madam Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.
The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:
Page 81, line 3, after the first dollar amount, insert
``(increased by $3,000,000)''.
Page 90, line 6, after the first dollar amount, insert
``(reduced by $3,000,000)''.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 431, the gentlewoman
from North Carolina (Ms. Adams) and a Member opposed each will control
5 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from North Carolina.
Ms. ADAMS. Madam Chair, my amendment would add $3 million to the
Children and Families Services Programs account.
I do want to thank Chairwoman DeLauro for her work on the Labor-HHS
bill, particularly the inclusion of
[[Page H4607]]
a line item for the Social Services/Income Maintenance Research
program, as well as report language to support Community Resource
Centers.
These centers, or CRCs, as they are called, help administer social
programs such as Medicaid, WIC, and SNAP. But, unlike other State one-
stop shops, CRCs have completely integrated services, which allow for
greater efficiency.
Instead of repeating their story to multiple administrative staff
during the screening process, customers can be screened and assessed at
one central administrative service area, which provides initial
screening and assessment for all programs and services offered in the
CRC.
If a customer needs to access multiple county services or partner
agencies, staff arranges cross-service coordination, which allows
individuals to assess their eligibility and apply for multiple Federal
programs in a quick, efficient manner.
H.R. 2740 will, for the first time, allow the Federal Government to
evaluate the viability of CRCs and determine whether their expansion
can help save taxpayer money and make social services more accessible
to everyday Americans.
That is not all that CRCs do. They also partner with local workforce
development boards to connect job seekers with employers, putting a
dent in our Nation's skills gap.
If this amendment passes, an additional $3 million will be provided
to the Children and Families Services account, which will fund the
research into CRCs. We then will work with Senate colleagues to ensure
that the funding is used for the purpose of this groundbreaking
research.
Madam Chair, Congress should support initiatives that make Federal
programs more accessible for Americans and do it in a way that saves
taxpayer money.
Community Resource Centers are a perfect example of that, and I
applaud H.R. 2740's recognition of that fact. I urge the House to
support my amendment, and I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I rise in opposition to the amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Maryland is recognized for 5
minutes.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
Ms. ADAMS. Madam Chair, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from
Connecticut (Ms. DeLauro), our distinguished subcommittee chair.
Ms. DeLAURO. Madam Chair, I rise to support my friend's efforts to
demonstrate how the centralized Community Resource Centers can be a
cost-effective, one-stop shop for those looking to access and apply for
Federal social service programs like SNAP, WIC, and Medicare or for
access to services like domestic violence prevention assistance.
It is an innovative approach. Partnerships with local governments
allow citizens to access Federal social services in a single location,
which could reduce burdens to constituents and allow Federal resources
to flow in a more cost-effective manner.
I urge my colleagues to support the amendment.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I rise hesitatingly to oppose this
amendment. This is not an inconsequential amount of money. This is $3
million, and it is taken out of the Secretary's office.
It is not prioritizing and saying, well, this program is more
important than this program, so we are going to shift funds from one
program to another. It actually strikes at the core of how the
Secretary can manage the department.
I just don't think that is the responsible way to do business. If we
think this program is important, that is fine. Find another program
that is less important. But let's not just take it from the Secretary's
office because the Secretary has to manage a large organization.
And, again, I know we are in Washington, but $3 million is a lot of
money to take out of an office, so I rise in opposition to the
amendment, and I reserve the balance of my time.
Ms. ADAMS. Madam Chair, I respectfully challenge my colleague and
would certainly invite him to go to the Community Resource Center in
Mecklenburg County to see the work that they do every day, to see how
they stabilize families and help reduce the need for those seeking
social services to travel multiple times to access Federal programs.
The last thing we should be doing is burdening working Americans by
increasing their costs to receive the helping hand that programs like
Medicaid and SNAP provide.
Madam Chair, I would just, again, urge support for the amendment, as
our most important job as Members of Congress is to make the lives of
Americans better.
The CRCs do that work, and let's do ours and ensure that they have
the resources they need to continue that progress.
Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, this is a good cause. This is a good idea.
But, you know, we have $10 billion in unspent CHIP funds sitting in a
fund.
So the question is: Why take this from the Secretary's office? I get
it. Some people don't like the Secretary. Some people don't like the
administration.
But there is $10 billion sitting there that could be spent on
programs like this, unspent CHIP funds.
So I have to oppose this amendment because, again, let's prioritize.
This is an important fund. Don't take it out of the Secretary's office.
I get it. You don't like the administration. You don't like the
Secretary. Don't take it out of his office.
Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentlewoman from North Carolina (Ms. Adams).
The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes

Mr. NORMAN. Madam Chair, I demand a recorded vote.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further
proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from North
Carolina will be postponed.
Amendment No. 52 Offered by Mr. Beyer
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 52
printed in part B of House Report 116-109.
Mr. BEYER. Madam Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.
The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:
Page 64, line 18, after the dollar amount, insert
``(reduced by $500,000) (increased by $500,000)''.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 431, the gentleman
from Virginia (Mr. Beyer) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Virginia.
Mr. BEYER. Madam Chair, my amendment would allocate funds for a
feasibility study on the adoption of geolocation for the Suicide
Lifeline.
Suicide is a leading cause of death across all groups. The Centers
for Disease Control recently reported the age-adjusted suicide rate had
increased 33 percent from 1999 through 2017. In 2017, the last year for
which we have statistics, 47,000 Americans took their own life.
The Suicide Lifeline is a one-stop, anonymous, toll-free means for
any person in the United States who is in emotional distress, who is
thinking about killing themselves, to be connected to a trained
counselor for assistance at anytime, anywhere in the U.S.
The Lifeline routes calls to a network of certified local crisis
centers. In northern Virginia, it will call somebody in northern
Virginia. They can then intervene with support and link them to the
resources they need: mental health, social services, sometimes police,
sometimes emergency rooms.
Last year, 2 million people used the Lifeline, and we are tracking
2.5 million in 2019.
What is relevant now is that 80 percent of callers are using their
cellphones, not their land lines. The Lifeline network routes the call
based on the area code. If it is a northern Virginia area code, it is
going to send it to a northern Virginia call center.
The problem with wireless devices, as we all know, is that people are
moving all the time and, often, their cellphone follows them. As I call
most of the young people on my staff, I am calling cellphone numbers in
Massachusetts, California, Texas, and Maryland.
[[Page H4608]]
So, what we need is geolocation, which is what we already use for the
911 calls. Geolocation means that, when they make that call to the
suicide hotline, it is going to be allocated not based on their area
code but based on where the call is actually made from.
When you figure that 25 percent of the callers are determined to be
in imminent risk of suicide, that they are thinking about it right then
and now, the counselor needs to be able to engage rescue services,
police, emergency rooms; and accurate location information makes all
the difference in the world.
This knowledge--this timely, reliable knowledge--really can be the
difference between life and death. So, implementing geolocation for
Lifeline could result in crucial gains for people in distress.
SAMHSA, the Federal agency in charge of mental health, when they
reported on Representative Stewart's bill to modernize the Lifeline,
reported very positively on geolocation as a piece of that.
So, what we are simply calling for is a study, with money moved from
one program to another program, to study this and to make sure that it
works.
Suicide is now the 10th leading cause of death in the United States
and rising, so this is a very worthwhile amendment, and we hope that it
will save many lives in the years to come.
Madam Chair, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from Connecticut
(Ms. DeLauro), the chair of the subcommittee.
Ms. DeLAURO. Madam Chair, I rise in support of this amendment.
The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline provides free and
confidential emotional support to people in suicidal crisis or
emotional distress, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, across the country.
The Lifeline provides this essential service through a national
network of over 150 local crisis centers, combining custom local care
and resources with national standards and best practices.
To further support these efforts, the bill includes an $8 million
increase for the Suicide Prevention Lifeline.
What this amendment calls for is a feasibility study to be conducted
on how we find out where these folks are so that we can help them. When
people reach out for help, we must do our best to respond to them in
order to be able to reduce suicide attempts.
Suicide is devastating communities across our country with 47,000
deaths in 2017. Depression and other mental health conditions are a
significant risk factor for suicide. Less than half of the people who
die from suicide have a known mental health condition.
As our bill shows, we are committed to suicide prevention efforts. I
support the gentleman's proposal to study ways to improve these
efforts, and I am urging my colleagues to support this amendment.
Mr. BEYER. Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.

Amendment No. 53 Offered by Mr. Beyer
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 53
printed in part B of House Report 116-109.
Mr. BEYER. Madam Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.
The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:
Page 77, line 10, after the dollar amount, insert
``(reduced by $500,000) (increased by $500,000)''.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 431, the gentleman
from Virginia (Mr. Beyer) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Virginia.
Mr. BEYER. Madam Chair, my amendment would require the Office of
Refugee Resettlement, ORR, to disclose to committees of jurisdiction
and to legal orientation providers a monthly census of the
unaccompanied children in their custody, and to do that broken down by
gender and by age.
This amendment arose from our personal experience last year when,
during the height of the family separation, we couldn't find out where
the kids were being held in Virginia. In fact, when we did find out, we
found out from the media, from newspaper reporters and television
reporters.
I recognize the need to respect these minors' privacy, but there has
to be an exception for the individuals who are in a position to help
them, people on the congressional committees that have the oversight
and the legal counsel. They have got to know where they are.
This is especially true now that we are learning that ORR is using
unlicensed facilities like Homestead and Carizzo Springs.
Increased transparency around the unlicensed facilities is necessary
in order for legal advocates to effectively monitor the conditions and
to track violations of the Flores settlement.
The legal orientation providers can't serve these kids if they don't
know where they are. Neither they nor the legal help of the kids nor
the leaders in Congress should be learning about the shelters through
the media.
The second piece of the amendment is the monthly census broken down
by age and gender. Right now, we don't know whether the kids are 17
years old or a baby or a 17-year-old with a baby.
Now, ORR is under statutory mandate to reunite these kids as quickly
as possible, and tracking gender and age will help tell us whether they
are doing it or not. We need to know where the kids are and for how
long they are there.
Beyond that, that sense of duration, we need a much more accurate
count. We don't want to hear one number from the agencies and a
different, perhaps more accurate, number from the media. We just want
thoughtful transparency. We are dealing with kids.
I have visited a couple of these facilities in Virginia. They
desperately need our help, and we need to be able to help them, and
knowing where they are will really do that.
Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I claim time in opposition to the amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Maryland is recognized for 5
minutes.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. BEYER. Madam Chair, I yield such time as she may consume to the
gentlewoman from Connecticut (Ms. DeLauro).
Ms. DeLAURO. Madam Chair, I rise in support of the gentleman's
amendment.
Oversight of the Unaccompanied Alien Children program has been and
will continue to be critical under my watch as chair of this
subcommittee.
To be fair, my good friend, Mr. Cole, was also very supportive of our
efforts to get reporting requirements in last year's Labor-HHS
appropriations bill and in the end-of-year bill as well.
If there is information that we are missing that we need in order to
make better decisions about how this program is funded, I will work
with my friend, Mr. Beyer, to get the best information we can from ORR.
Congress and this Appropriations Committee will be vigilant in its
oversight role of the Unaccompanied Alien Children program.
And to those who will grandstand about their concern of the fate of
these children who are in our custody, I say the following: Where were
you? Where were your voices when children were separated from their
families at the border?
Not only that, when you take your clothes to the cleaners, you get a
claim check. When you check your baggage at an airport, you get a claim
check. If you go to a restaurant and leave your coat, you get a claim
check.
This administration had no claim check for the children they took
away from their families. And to date, there may be youngsters who will
never be reunited with their families because of this administration's
policy.
Where were they? Where were you?
Crying out in help for these children. Don't come forward now and be
political in what you are doing.
We are going to provide humanitarian assistance, as we have in 2019
[[Page H4609]]
and in this budget, $1.8 billion, and moving forward with a
supplemental.
You have been silent, silent over these years because where are you
now?
I support the gentleman's amendment. I support the gentleman's
amendment.
Parliamentary Inquiry
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I have a parliamentary inquiry.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman will state his parliamentary inquiry.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, are remarks supposed to be directed to the
Chair?
The Acting CHAIR. Members are reminded to address their remarks to
the Chair.
Ms. DeLAURO. I will direct them to the Chair.
Where were they?
I support the gentleman's amendment.
Mr. BEYER. Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, Mr. Cole supports the children. He actually
supports funding these programs for the children past this month,
something the majority doesn't. Time after time after time, the
majority has refused the funding.
Now, Madam Chair, there is no need for this amendment because, in 1
month, we can't take care of any children because the majority has
refused, time after time after time, to provide funding to take care of
these children. And then, Madam Chair, the majority gets up, Members of
the majority get up and claim that they are for the children.
Sure, we need reporting. But before we need reporting, we actually
need funding. We should bring--instead of being here at 1:40 debating a
two-line amendment that says just decrease and increase, we ought to be
actually debating a supplemental bill.
Madam Chair, I yield such time as he may consume to the gentleman
from Texas (Mr. Roy).
Mr. ROY. Madam Chair, it is 1:35 in the morning here on the East
Coast.
I represent a district in Texas. Somewhere in Texas right now are a
host of families and children who have no place to be put, nowhere to
be put because we are not doing our job. Those are facts.
All the theater, all the grandstanding that is going to be pointed
out here on the floor of the House of Representatives, those are the
facts.
There is a child today who doesn't have a place to be put. We can't
just take that child and put him or her someplace magical. We have to
have a place to put him or her.
Today, right now, the Reynosa faction of the Gulf Cartel is making
hundreds of millions of dollars moving people--not just fentanyl, not
just cocaine, not just heroin, although lots of that, too, but moving
people.
Right now, somewhere in the United States of America, particularly
probably in Houston or San Antonio, there is a stash house with
children in it and people in it being held hostage to pay money back to
the cartels.
If you don't believe it, go talk to the people in the Department of
Public Safety in Texas and CBP and ICE in Texas. Talk to them. That is
what is actually happening.
And how can we, with a straight face, say that we are the most
powerful nation in the world and allow that to be happening at our
border, while our asylum laws are being exploited by cartels for
profit, asylum laws which we should have, but where people should go to
ports of entry and have a path to come here? Instead, we allow them to
be violated by cartels for profit, and cartels have operational control
of our border.
I literally cannot comprehend how our colleagues on the other side of
the aisle believe it is more appropriate to bury their heads in the
sand of this Chamber and ignore this, ignore this problem, this real
problem, where 144,000 people were apprehended in May. HHS has taken
charge of nearly 41,000 UACs this year--41,000.
In December, 4,700 unaccompanied children were apprehended on the
southern border. In May, 11,500 unaccompanied alien minor children were
apprehended on the southern border. These are the actual numbers. Does
that not matter?
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, if I can inquire how much time I have
remaining.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Maryland has 45 seconds
remaining.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I yield 45 seconds to the gentleman from
South Carolina (Mr. Norman).
Mr. NORMAN. Madam Chair, it is--what?--20 till 2. We have got a group
here that is willing to stay all night until we address this problem
with the supplemental.
You can talk about children, but, just like my good friend from Texas
says, go to the border. See these children who are going, who are being
drug back and forth, charged, making money for these adults.
Let's put the money--we don't have to just go to Virginia. I feel for
these children in Virginia, but I feel for those 144,000 whom they
caught, much less the ones that got by.
I further feel for the children who, according to DHS, were saying
that they are being carted back and forth, raped. They have rape trees.
Go to the border. Where is the compassion for them?
It is high time for us to debate a supplemental. And if it takes
however long on this clock, we are going to do it, because we are tired
of it.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. BEYER. Madam Chair, may I ask how much time I have left.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Virginia has 30 seconds
remaining.
Mr. BEYER. Madam Chair, in 30 quick seconds, I would like to point
out there is a difference between apprehended and offering yourself at
the border to Customs and Border Patrol for asylum. There is an
enormous difference.
I would also like to point out that there is not a single person on
this side of the aisle who doesn't want to bring this humanitarian aid
to the children. We have to be able to find something that the White
House will also accept.
I am not in the room when this happens with our distinguished leaders
of appropriations, but I know they are working very hard to make that
happen.
Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.

The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 431, the gentlewoman
from Delaware (Ms. Blunt Rochester) and a Member opposed each will
control 5 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Delaware.
Ms. BLUNT ROCHESTER. Madam Chair, I want to first thank the members
of the Appropriations Committee for recognizing the ongoing and
critical shortage of primary care physicians and behavioral health
specialists, a trend that is projected to continue into the coming
years, by requesting that HRSA, the Health Resources and Services
Administration, issue a report to Congress on how to better recruit and
train these health professionals, as well as recommendations to address
health professional staffing shortages.
My amendment serves to underscore the importance of the requested
report and to encourage HRSA to not just analyze how these efforts can
improve staffing shortages in underserved areas, but how we can
increase the number of physicians serving in community health centers
located in those areas.
[[Page H4610]]
Delaware, like many States around the country, is facing a severe
primary care physician shortage. In 2018, there were just 815 primary
care physicians in Delaware, down 5.4 percent from 2013.
{time} 0145
According to HRSA, of the three counties in Delaware, two of them,
Kent and Sussex, exceed the 2,000 to 1 primary-doctor-to-patient ratio,
which is a benchmark for shortages.
According to a study commissioned by the Delaware Department of
Health and Social Services, this trend is going to significantly impact
the State's rural, downstate communities.
As HRSA develops recommendations for addressing physician shortages,
they should also focus on how we can incentivize primary care
physicians, in addition to other physicians experiencing health
staffing shortages, to not just practice in underserved areas, but at
community health centers.
Community health centers bring comprehensive primary care to
underserved areas, improving not only access to healthcare, but health
outcomes.
People in my State depend on community health centers for a variety
of reasons. La Red Health Center, located in Georgetown, Delaware,
shared that their patients appreciated their access to primary care,
behavioral health services, and oral health care all in one place, and
that medical services focused on the full lifecycle. For some, they
face the inability to access care at private practices.
Community health centers will continue to be a vital source of care
for underserved communities, and we should know the best ways to
attract physicians to serve in them.
Madam Chair, I encourage my colleagues to support the amendment.
Madam Chair, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from Connecticut
(Ms. DeLauro), a tireless advocate and distinguished Member, the
chairwoman of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and
Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies.
Ms. DeLAURO. Madam Chair, I thank the gentlewoman for yielding.
Madam Chair, I rise in support of this amendment. I share the
gentlewoman's concern about the lack of healthcare providers,
especially in rural and underserved areas across the Nation.
This bill provides an increase of $138 million for programs to
support training for the next generation of healthcare providers.
For example, the bill provides additional resources to support nurse
training, including a new $20 million nurse practitioner residency
training program. The bill increases funding for Children's Hospitals
Graduate Medical Education by $25 million.
The bill increases funding for Area Health Education Centers to
expand the reach of healthcare networks and improve healthcare delivery
in rural and underserved areas.
The bill also includes two new programs, authorized last year in the
SUPPORT Act, to support the mental health and substance use disorder
workforce.
All of these programs focus on the areas of practice and populations
most in need across the country.
Madam Chair, I thank the gentlewoman for offering this amendment, and
I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes.''
Ms. BLUNT ROCHESTER. Madam Chair, I encourage my colleagues to
support H.R. 2740 and this commonsense amendment. It will ensure that
we have the best information available to help all communities, both
rural and urban.
Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentlewoman from Delaware (Ms. Blunt Rochester).
The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes

Amendment No. 56 Offered by Mrs. Murphy
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 56
printed in part B of House Report 116-109.
Mrs. MURPHY. Madam Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.
The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:
Page 64, line 18, after the dollar amount, insert

The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 431, the gentlewoman
from Florida (Mrs. Murphy) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Florida.
Mrs. MURPHY. Madam Chair, I yield myself as much time as I may
consume.
Madam Chair, I rise in support of my amendment, which I am proud to
co-lead with 25 members of the Future Forum, a generational caucus that
focuses on issues important to younger Americans.
My amendment would provide additional support for youth suicide
prevention strategies in K-12 schools, colleges, and universities,
juvenile justice systems, and foster care systems.
My amendment would provide an additional $2 million for the Garrett
Lee Smith Youth Suicide Prevention State and Campus grants.
Suicide is the second leading cause of death among youth in America.
In the past decade, approximately 22,000 Americans ages 10 to 19 have
died by suicide.
This is staggering, and we must remember that behind every abstract
statistic lies a shattered human life, a brokenhearted family, and a
distraught community.
This issue hits close to home for families in my central Florida
district where, in recent years, we have mourned the loss of far too
many students to suicide. Just months ago, a student died by suicide on
a school campus. She was only 17 years old.
Last year, I held youth and mental health advisory board meetings in
my district. My constituents told me that there was a need for
additional resources on campus and in our communities to help students
and young adults treat mental health conditions before they become
serious or even life-threatening.
That is precisely what our amendment would do.
Simply put, this grant funding will help save lives.
Madam Chair, I respectfully ask my colleagues on both sides of the
aisle to support it.
Madam Chair, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from Connecticut
(Ms. DeLauro), the chairwoman of the House Appropriations Labor, Health
and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Subcommittee.
Ms. DeLAURO. Madam Chair, I rise in support of this amendment.
Madam Chair, we know suicide is devastating our communities across
the country; 47,000 deaths in 2017.
The underlying bill that we are considering includes $20 million of
new funding for suicide prevention efforts at the Centers for Disease
Control and also at the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration.
This amendment increases funding for efforts to prevent suicide among
youth at the places that many of them can be found: colleges and
universities, youth-serving organizations.
Through training and activities aimed at identifying youth at risk
for suicide, screenings and the connection to appropriate services are
preventing suicides and suicide attempts.
The underlying bill that we consider tonight shows my interest and
that I strongly support suicide prevention efforts.
Madam Chair, I urge my colleagues to support this effort.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I claim the time in opposition to the
amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Maryland is recognized for 5
minutes.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mrs. MURPHY. Madam Chair, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Utah
(Mr. McAdams), my colleague and fellow Future Forum member.
Mr. McADAMS. Madam Chair, I thank Congresswoman Murphy for her
[[Page H4611]]
leadership in our Future Forum and for focusing on the important
healthcare issues facing our young people today.
Madam Chair, I am proud to cosponsor this amendment to invest in the
Garrett Lee Smith Youth Suicide Prevention grants to promote outreach,
education, awareness, and prevention efforts to young people in our
communities and to vulnerable students on our college campuses.
Suicide is the leading cause of death among young people ages 15 to
24 in my State of Utah, and we know that we can do more to save lives.
We have tremendous leaders stepping up in Utah to change the
conversation on mental health and to reach people in crisis.
In fact, Weber State University in Utah recently used a Garrett Lee
Smith Campus grant to fund its peer-based support network to address
mental health stigma and to expand students' access to mental health
support.
Madam Chair, I am proud to support this amendment and to expand our
work to invest in the mental health of our young people.
Mrs. MURPHY. Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, there is no question that suicide prevention
is important, no question in anyone's mind. We have an epidemic of it,
but we also have an epidemic of substance abuse.
Here is the problem. This amendment takes funds from health
surveillance and program support, which supplement activities funded
under the headings mental health, substance abuse treatment, and
substance abuse prevention.
So there is a problem there, because no question suicide is
important, suicide prevention is important, but this amendment is
robbing Peter to pay Paul, Madam Chair. This amendment is taking money
from substance abuse.
If we are going to set priorities, both should be high priorities.
The gentlewoman should have found the money somewhere else, maybe in
the $10 billion that is sitting unspent in the CHIP account, instead of
taking money from substance abuse.
Madam Chair, that is why I oppose this amendment, and I yield back
the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentlewoman from Florida (Mrs. Murphy).
The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes

Amendment No. 57 Offered by Ms. Ocasio-Cortez
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 57
printed in part B of House Report 116-109.
Ms. OCASIO-CORTEZ. Madam Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.
The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:
Page 50, line 20, after the dollar amount, insert
``(increased by $15,000,000)''.
Page 90, line 6, after the first dollar amount, insert
``(reduced by $15,000,000)''.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 431, the gentlewoman
from New York (Ms. Ocasio-Cortez) and a Member opposed each will
control 5 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from New York.
Ms. OCASIO-CORTEZ. Madam Chair, I rise to offer an amendment
transferring $15 million to the CDC's Opioid-Related Infectious Disease
program.
Madam Chair, one of the deadly consequences of the opioid crisis and
its related use of contaminated drug equipment has been the increased
incidence of blood-borne infections, including hepatitis, HIV, and
bacteria-caused heart infections.
The CDC's infectious disease program works to implement evidence-
based drug prevention in schools and community settings.
The opioid crisis has impacted nearly every community in the United
States, rich and poor, rural and urban, and people of all racial and
cultural identities.
In my own home borough of the Bronx, fatal overdoses are now at their
highest rate since official data has even been made public, and 85
percent of those overdoses involved opioids.
In order for us to really approach and solve this issue, we have to
make sure that we are adequately funding programs that are backed by
evidence and backed by studies and funded in a way that reduces the
load and reduces the incidence of fatality.
Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I rise in opposition to the amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Maryland is recognized for 5
minutes.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, the bottom line is this bill already
increases this program. With the committee report, page 59, we suggest
an increase of $15 million.
The $15 million in this amendment comes out of the Office of the
Secretary. Again, I don't know how the Secretary is going to do all the
work he has to do to take care of the entire Department if $15 million
comes out to supplement a program that is already being supplemented.
Madam Chair, I yield to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Roy).
{time} 0200
Mr. ROY. Madam Chair, I thank the gentleman from Maryland. I
appreciate my friend from New York's concern about this important issue
that is obviously paramount for the Nation. Every State in the Union is
touched by the tragedy of opioid abuse.
I do want to point out, as has, I think, been made clear by my
colleagues and myself about our continued concern about our lack of
appreciation and effort by this body to deal with the crisis at our
border, that the impact on the opioid problem by the trafficking going
on at our southern border is significant. I think we all agree on that.
We all recognize that.
In fact, my colleague from New York and I have sat in Oversight
hearings where we have had witnesses there where we talk about the
massive increase over the last several years in the amount of narcotics
that are coming through our southern border, and this is just something
that I hope we can have a bipartisan understanding and agreement on
about addressing and actually dealing with the concern.
According to Border Patrol's most recent data, through the end of
May, they seized 144 pounds of fentanyl between ports of entry since
October; 98 percent was seized on our southwest border.
Fentanyl, in a pack of sugar, is enough to kill everybody in this
room. It is a very dangerous narcotic--144 pounds between ports of
entry.
In 2018, U.S. Border Patrol seized 388 pounds of fentanyl.
6,162 ounces of heroin have been seized between the ports of entry in
fiscal year 2019 alone; 444 pounds of cocaine in May of this year
between the ports of entry. Office of Field Operations has seized
241,000 pounds of drugs, total.
Seventy thousand Americans died from drug overdoses in 2017, and
fentanyl played a large roll in that. Deaths involving fentanyl
increased more than 45 percent in 2017, alone.
I could go through the stats and we can keep talking about it, but I
would hope that, on an issue like this, where I believe very much in
the heart of my colleague and what she is trying to accomplish with
this amendment, that we could come to an agreement that the vast
quantities of these narcotics, so much of it is coming across our
southern border. In addition to, obviously, the prescription drug
problems we have had and we have been dealing with and we are trying to
deal with, we have got to address this problem.
The cartels, literally, have operational control of our border; and
the consequences aren't just the profit on the back of people and
children and what we are dealing with and the inability to house them,
but it is in this, in the opioid crisis that we are all trying to deal
with that is being supplied so much from both China and then through
Mexico.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
Ms. OCASIO-CORTEZ. Madam Chair, I think it is important that we
acknowledge and really recognize that this amendment is addressing the
appropriation--it is an amendment to the
[[Page H4612]]
appropriation in health and human services.
The opioid crisis is here, and there is no denying that this is a
crisis on our doorstep. There are multiple levers and multiple
solutions that we can approach in order to treat the amount of pain
that is being experienced across the country.
So with that being said, what we really need to focus on is what
those levers are, and one of these is the fact that infectious
diseases, the rates of hepatitis B, hepatitis C are exploding due to
the injection methods in the opioid crisis and self-administering
opioids.
That being said, we have to address this issue. We are not even
asking for an increased appropriation. We are asking for a transfer of
funds. So it is the same amount of funding, but we are just
transferring it to a place where it is going to be most effective and
treat and impact more families positively.
Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I yield to the gentleman from Texas (Mr.
Roy).
Mr. ROY. Madam Chair, I appreciate that, and I would only point out
in response to my friend from New York, and recognizing that this is an
HHS-related matter, that one of the issues we are trying to deal with
with respect to HHS is the office of ORR in dealing with the children
and dealing with the unaccompanied children that we don't have anyplace
to house, and we are looking for $4\1/2\ billion to deal with the
problem at our border, including dealing with ORR and the children who
are being housed at HHS. That it is a very paramount issue, and I think
it is relevant in this particular moment.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, there are a lot of important issues we can
discuss on the floor. This is one of them, clearly. But we should be
discussing a much larger issue, the issue of border security and
stopping the flow.
144 pounds of fentanyl seized at the border, that could kill the
entire population of the United States. This is the amount we seized.
It is unbelievable that Congress can't act to control the flow of
drugs across our southern border, because we are playing politics with
our children's lives now.
Madam Chair, we should bring the supplemental bill to the floor as
soon as possible. As the gentleman from South Carolina suggested, we
are ready to go all night. Let's bring it to the floor. House
leadership can bring it to the floor tonight. Let's go ahead.
Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
Ms. OCASIO-CORTEZ. Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the

Amendment No. 58 Offered by Ms. Ocasio-Cortez
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 58
printed in part B of House Report 116-109.
Ms. OCASIO-CORTEZ. Madam Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.
The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:
On page 164, beginning on line 1, strike section 509.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 431, the gentlewoman
from New York (Ms. Ocasio-Cortez) and a Member opposed each will
control 5 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from New York.
Ms. OCASIO-CORTEZ. Madam Chair, I rise today to offer this critical
bipartisan amendment that will allow United States researchers to study
and examine the extraordinary promise shown by several schedule I drugs
that have been shown in treating critical diseases, such as MDMA's
success in veteran PTSD, psilocybin's promise in treatment-resistant
depression, or ibogaine's effectiveness in opioid and other drug
addiction. Additionally, this will allow research into marijuana's
impact in cancer relief, seizure treatment, and more.
This amendment strikes a war-on-drugs provision that prohibits any
activity ``promoting the legalization of any drug included in schedule
I of the Controlled Substance Act.'' The problem with this provision is
that it is so vague and broadly interpreted that it prevents scientists
from researching, examining, and exploring avenues of treatment that
could alleviate an enormous amount of suffering from medical
conditions.
Madam Chair, I yield 1 minute to gentleman from California (Mr.
Correa).
Mr. CORREA. Madam Chair, I thank the gentlewoman for yielding.
I am proud to join my colleague from New York (Ms. Ocasio-Cortez) to
support this life-saving amendment. We need legitimate, reliable
research by universities and other institutions into the health
benefits of cannabis and other substances. This amendment will allow
credible research institutions to conduct research by removing layers
of paperwork that serve as hurdles meant to block such research.
As more Americans, including veterans, use cannabis and so-called
magic mushrooms to manage or treat their pain or other health
conditions, it is important that doctors have the necessary information
on the possible benefits or not of these substances.
Our brave men and women who served in Iraq and Afghanistan returned
home with many wounds, many of them invisible. Sadly, the current use
of opioids to treat PTSD and other chronic pains has been effective and
many times has led to addiction and even death.
I have listened to veterans both in California and in my office here
in Washington, D.C., who have called for additional research into
cannabis. According to an Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America
survey, more than 80 percent of their membership agree that cannabis
should be legal for medical purposes, while 90 percent also support
medical cannabis research.
As a result, I introduced a bill to promote cannabis research, the VA
Medical Cannabis Research Act. My bipartisan bill requires clinical
research on the safety and effectiveness of medical cannabis in
treating veterans.
Likewise, this amendment will reduce barriers to research on cannabis
and psychedelics. Since Denver and Oakland have decriminalized the use
of certain psychedelics, this amendment is both timely and very
necessary.
I urge my colleagues to pass this amendment.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I rise in opposition to the amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Maryland is recognized for 5
minutes.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, the bottom line is this is not the place and
this won't do what the offer in support of the amendment says it is
going to do, because the fact of the matter is that the DEA is the one
that enforced the classification of schedule I. This bill has nothing
to do with the DEA.
In fact, the problem with research and the problem with the
difficulty in doing research does not lie in HHS. The problem lies in
the fact that it is a schedule I drug, and the appropriate way to deal
with this is through an authorizing committee, as the gentleman from
California suggests, with legislation that would allow more research,
as has been suggested.
Madam Chair, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr.
Perry).
Mr. PERRY. Madam Chair, I thank the gentleman from Maryland, and I
just wonder about the responsibility of this legislation. To have the
government promote these items that are on the schedule, things like
MDMA, the pure form of Molly and meth, is that what we want? We want
the Federal Government telling our families and our children: ``Take
this. It is good for you''?
Maybe it is, but I sure don't think it is. I certainly don't want my
kids taking it, and I certainly don't want the government promoting it.
Essentially, my whole life was smoking cessation of tobacco. Now we
are finally at a place where we have reduced that dramatically, and now
we are going to tell the whole rest of the country, well, let's all
start smoking marijuana instead.
[[Page H4613]]
I don't think this is what the government should be promoting, and I
think we should have a lot more research before we tell our kids that
this is what they should be doing.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I thank the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr.
Perry), who is absolutely right. We do need more research. But the
current restriction that is struck, section 509, says that this
limitation shall not apply where there is significant medical evidence
of therapeutic advantage or that federally sponsored clinical trials
are being conducted.
Well, that is what we need. We need federally sponsored clinical
trials. The current section 509 does not stop this.
Now, look, I get it. There are people who want the legalization of
marijuana. I get it. But as a physician, I will tell you I urge the
people who suggest that there are broad applicabilities that are proven
medical uses of marijuana to go back to the Journal of the American
Medical Association, which did a review last year that indicated that,
of the over 50 suggested uses for medical marijuana, only 4 are proven
through rigorous scientific trials--4, Madam Chair.
PTSD is not one of them. It is not. Treatment for opioid abuse is not
one of them.
In fact, Dr. Nora Volkow, the head of the National Institute on Drug
Abuse, who I think knows probably more than anyone in this room about
the subject, says that marijuana is an addictive drug that is
dangerous, and recent research says that induces psychosis in young
people, serious major psychotic conditions.
And we want to remove all the restrictions in the health part of the
law?
Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
Ms. OCASIO-CORTEZ. Madam Chair, my colleague across the aisle said we
need to research this more, and I agree, and that is why this amendment
is being introduced.
The note was brought up that there is a rider provision saying that
there is an exception for those drugs that have shown medical promise,
but we cannot prove that medical promise unless we fund the research to
actually have it in the first place.
So we have a catch-22, and we have to get rid of it.
There are war-on-drugs provisions in so many Federal statutes beyond
just the one schedule, the one scheduling of these drugs.
I am a strong believer in evidence-based policymaking, and wherever
there is evidence of good, we have a moral obligation to pursue and
explore the parameters of that good, even if it means challenging our
past assumptions or admitting past wrongs.
Thirty percent of all military veterans have considered suicide--30
percent. So if a substance shows promise in treating PTSD, we have an
obligation to study it.
One of the leading causes of death in America today is suicide. So if
a schedule I drug shows clinical promise in treating and in treatment-
resistant depression, perhaps it is not the drug we should say is
morally wrong, but perhaps it is the law, the schedule, the statute.
{time} 0215
Moreover, I am proud to say that this is a bipartisan amendment. My
colleagues on the other side of the aisle often bemoan the role of
government and promote ideas of choice. Here, in that spirit, I am
happy to agree, to say we should get government and political opinion
out of scientific research that we have seen and has shown promise in
any way that can help people and their medical needs.
Lastly, I understand that the politics of this bill may make it
difficult for some to support right now. But I propose this amendment,
and I urge my colleagues to support it, because politics isn't always
about winning today. It is about fighting for what is right in the
future and for future generations.
Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, may I inquire how much time I have
remaining.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Maryland has 2 minutes
remaining.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, the bottom line is that there is scientific
evidence about the danger of marijuana.
It is largely unstudied, and anyone, Madam Chair, who understands how
research is conducted here should realize that the roadblock is not in
HHS. It is not in the jurisdiction of this bill. It is with the DEA.
This does nothing to remove the scheduling with regard to how the DEA
views marijuana.
Dr. Volkow, one of the world's experts on addiction, it was brought
up that maybe we can treat addiction with marijuana, and she says
absolutely not. This drug causes addiction. One-seventh of the people
who are addicted to opioids started with marijuana. It is a gateway
drug. It is dangerous.
This amendment does nothing to deal with promoting research because
the problem is not in HHS. The problem is in DEA.
Madam Chair, I have tried to deal with this problem. I have
cosponsored a bill that promotes research with a broader approach, to
involve all the Federal agencies that could hinder research in any way.
This amendment does nothing to do that. This sends a bad signal.
As the gentleman from Pennsylvania suggested, this isn't about
marijuana, it is about every schedule I drug, and there are very
dangerous schedule I drugs.
Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentlewoman from New York (Ms. Ocasio-Cortez).

Amendment No. 59 Offered by Mr. McAdams
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 59
printed in part B of House Report 116-109.
Mr. McADAMS. Madam Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.
The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:
Page 52, line 16, after the first dollar amount, insert
``(increased by $2,000,000)''.
Page 90, line 6, after the first dollar amount, insert
``(reduced by $2,000,000)''.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 431, the gentleman
from Utah (Mr. McAdams) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Utah.
Mr. McADAMS. Madam Chair, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
Madam Chair, I rise to offer my amendment to strengthen our national
efforts to address the public health crisis of suicide in our country.
I would like to applaud Chairwoman Lowey and Ranking Member Granger
for their work on this bill, as well as my colleague from Utah on the
committee, Representative Stewart, who has been a champion of suicide
prevention efforts in Congress.
For the first time, this legislation specifically provides funding
for research, outreach, and prevention measures on the concerning
public health issue of suicide through the Centers for Disease
Control's Injury Prevention and Control programs. My amendment would
build on this work by providing additional capacity at the CDC to
ensure the agency can enhance its outreach and prevention work for
youth at risk of suicide.
My home State of Utah is grappling with a suicide crisis. From
seniors experiencing isolation in rural communities to young people who
face bullying in schools, we are seeing rates of suicide rise across
multiple populations. In fact, one high school in my district recently
lost seven students to suicide in only 1 year.
Utah has the unfortunate distinction of being the State with the
sixth highest rate of deaths by suicide, and suicide is the leading
cause of death of Utahns 15 to 24 years old.
According to the CDC, between 1999 and 2016, per capita deaths by
suicide rose 46.5 percent in Utah, well above the concerning national
increase of 25.4 percent over the same period. Our youth suicide rate
more than doubled between 2011 and 2015.
We have a bipartisan agreement in our State that we need to do more
to understand and address this crisis. I thank our State Governor,
Governor
[[Page H4614]]
Herbert, for convening a youth suicide task force to lead this effort,
and the public and community leaders who have been working on a number
of initiatives. School leaders have been working to hire more mental
health professionals and to offer services to help students in crisis.
Our conversation in Utah on mental health wellness has continued to
evolve and bring a focus to the health needs of vulnerable people.
From suicide prevention lifelines, including those for at-risk
populations like veterans, to mental health crisis training for first
responders and care providers, we know we still need to invest in the
services and infrastructure that serve people in crisis.
Policymakers must continue to review how we are working to strengthen
our public health education on suicide prevention and ensure that
people with mental health and behavioral health needs can access
affordable, quality care.
I believe my amendment takes a strong step to ensuring our national
and State public health experts have sufficient resources to
investigate this troubling rise in deaths by suicide, particularly
among young people, and to develop and implement prevention strategies.
I look forward to continuing this work with my colleagues on the
Appropriations Committee.
Madam Chair, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from Connecticut
(Ms. DeLauro).
Ms. DeLAURO. Madam Chair, I rise in support of this amendment.
We established over and over again this evening how suicide is
devastating our communities across this country. While depression and
other mental health conditions are a significant risk factor for
suicide, less than half of the people who die from suicide have a known
mental health condition.
The underlying bill that we are considering tonight includes $10
million for a new effort at the CDC to explore the leading mechanisms
of suicide deaths and identify prevention strategies to reduce deaths
by suicide. This amendment increases the funding for this effort by $2
million to specifically focus on youth suicide awareness, research, and
prevention efforts.
I am committed to suicide prevention, and I appreciate the
gentleman's support for the efforts that are focused on our youth.
Madam Chair, I urge my colleagues to support this amendment.
Mr. McADAMS. Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I rise in opposition to the amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Maryland is recognized for 5
minutes.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. McADAMS. Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, again, there is no question that everyone
knows that we are in a suicide epidemic. We have to do whatever we can,
whatever is within our powers--work with our States, work within our
local jurisdictions, work with our community agencies--to deal with
this horrible epidemic that we are having.
My problem with and my opposition to the amendment is not the fact
that we need to pay attention to suicide prevention. It is from where
we get the funds.
We take the funds from that, I guess, bottomless piggybank some
people think is the Secretary's office. In the short time we have had
since the last vote series, we will have taken $20 million from the
Secretary's office if all those amendments pass on final vote. Madam
Chair, we increased the Secretary's office by 1 percent in the
underlying budget, so we increased it less than inflation.
Again, the job of HHS is growing, not shrinking. We increased it only
1 percent. With this amendment, just since the time of the last vote
series, we will have decreased the budget by 5 percent in that office.
That is not responsible. That implies that the committee didn't do
good work in setting how much the Secretary's office needs to
administer a huge government agency, a very important government
agency, one that, in fact, runs suicide prevention programs and drug
addiction programs.
Madam Chair, we have to set priorities. It is nice to say we have
suicide prevention, but let's find the program--we didn't take it from
a program. This amendment doesn't take it from a program. This
amendment takes it from something that is not a limitless reserve: the
Office of the Secretary.
That is why I believe we should oppose this amendment.
Madam Chair, we should expect that Members who want to prioritize
programs find other programs that have a lower priority and shift those
funds.
Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentleman from Utah (Mr. McAdams).
The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes

Mr. PERRY. Madam Chair, I demand a recorded vote.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further

Amendment No. 60 Offered by Ms. Schrier
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 60
printed in part B of House Report 116-109.
Ms. SCHRIER. Madam Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.
The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:
On page 109, line 23, after ``medical goods and
services,'', insert ``which may include early childhood
developmental screenings,''
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 431, the gentlewoman
from Washington (Ms. Schrier) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Washington.
Ms. SCHRIER. Madam Chair, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
Madam Chair, my amendment would ensure that early childhood
developmental screenings are considered a medical service and,
therefore, can be provided to children at the border who are in the
care of the Office of Refugee Resettlement. These screenings would be
performed by volunteer medical professionals at no cost to the taxpayer
or to the child.
There are already, thankfully, provisions for pediatric-focused
medical care. That is critical given that six children have died while
in the care of the Office of Refugee Resettlement.
This amendment goes further, though, and makes sure that the
developmental, social, and emotional health of the children is also
evaluated. Developmental screening is a standard part of pediatric care
and will diagnose things like hearing loss, autism, language delays,
and even developmental regression that is associated with toxic stress.
Given the conditions under which these children are living right now,
often without their parents and without age-appropriate activities to
bolster their cognitive development, this type of screening with
appropriate follow-up and care is critical.
Early intervention is paramount. Allowing medical professionals to
volunteer their time and expertise to screen babies and young children
for physical problems and developmental delays is a way to make sure
that children do not fall behind during these critical formative years
and that they are set up for success in their school years and beyond.
This amendment simply clarifies that if Americans are willing to
donate medical services to children at the border, those may include
developmental and behavioral assessments.
Madam Chair, I urge my colleagues to support this amendment, and I
reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I claim the time in opposition to the
amendment, even though I support the amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, the gentleman from Maryland is
recognized for 5 minutes.
There was no objection.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
{time} 0230
Ms. SCHRIER. Madam Chair, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from
Connecticut (Ms. DeLauro).
Ms. DeLAURO. Madam Chair, I thank the gentlewoman, and I rise in
support of my colleague's amendment.
As children detained at the border face increased medical needs, this
[[Page H4615]]
amendment perfects the bipartisan provision that was included in last
year's Labor-HHS bill, which allowed the Department to accept donations
to assist in providing basic medical care and support for children in
the Office of Refugee Resettlement's care. I believe it was an
amendment by our colleague Representative Cuellar of Texas.
The Congresswoman's proposal to include early childhood developmental
screenings is a great one for those generous volunteers who want to
help these children while they are in ORR's care.
I also want to emphasize that we will not allow HHS or its grantees
to abdicate any of their responsibilities to meet the standards that
are set in law to care for these children. On numerous occasions, we,
in fact, found, that the care was less than what was required by the
agreement struck in 1997.
The Acting CHAIR. The time of the gentlewoman has expired.
Ms. SCHRIER. Madam Chair, I yield an additional 1 minute to the
gentlewoman from Connecticut.
Ms. DeLAURO. Madam Chair, I strongly support the efforts of local
groups to provide comfort to those suffering, and I commend the
Congresswoman for her amendment.
I might also add, for those who are speaking loudly about their
support for children at the border, my colleague on the other side of
the aisle voted ``no'' on the FY appropriations Labor-HHS bill, which
provided $1.3 billion for dealing with the children at the border.
Ms. SCHRIER. Madam Chair, I am prepared to close, if my colleague has
no further comments.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, we are going to need a lot of volunteers,
actually, in a month because the majority, time and time and time
again, has voted against taking care of these children when money runs
out this month. That is a fact. Yes, we will need volunteers. We need
volunteers to do more than the mental health, which is very important.
When you talk about toxic stress, wait until a child comes to the
border and we can't provide medical services. And we can't provide
services because the majority in the House refuses to bring a
supplemental appropriation to the floor.
Now, the gentlewoman commented on someone--I don't know, maybe it was
me--voting against a bill that has $1.3 billion, that spends tens of
billions of dollars above the statutory Budget Control Act numbers, and
yet the majority voted in committee this week to provide billions of
dollars of funds to take care of children at the border. They leave
that inconvenient fact out.
Madam Chair, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Pennsylvania
(Mr. Perry).
Mr. PERRY. Madam Chair, I thank the gentleman from Maryland.
What time is it? 2:30 on the East Coast here. Some little girl on the
border of Texas, they don't know where to put her; they don't have a
bed for her.
The Department of Homeland Security has made this request. They have
said they are out of money. They are out of resources. Some little girl
who has probably been brought by some trafficker, who has been told to
keep her mouth shut or else, has nowhere to be.
We are in here talking about reports and everything but providing the
resources--not that the President has asked for. I mean, I am sure the
President has, at the behest of his Secretary who knows, who is
operationally on the ground, who sees the problems as they occur.
And because we certainly can't have President Trump have a victory,
some poor little girl is crying in a corner somewhere because she has
been dragged across the border by some trafficker.
We don't even do the biometric test that is required by law. We don't
even know, we can't prove that she is with her family.
The adult says: You tell them that I am your father. You tell them I
am your brother or uncle. You tell them, or else.
And what do we do? We just accept it. We accept this trafficker's
word for it that this little girl belongs with him.
It is unacceptable.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I thank the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr.
Perry).
The fact of the matter is that the majority, last year, when they
were in the minority, voted along party lines to not provide funds to
take care of children in the Labor-HHS bill in committee. Every single
member voted against it in committee, of the now-majority, then-
minority. So I guess what is good for the goose is not good for the
gander.
But we did take votes this year on a motion to recommit, on an
amendment in committee this week, and a majority of the majority voted
to not fund care for the children. That is where we are going to run
out of money.
The President, to his credit, has asked and said: Please send money.
Please send money to fund the care for these children and to stop the
flow of drugs across the border.
Madam Chair, 144 pounds of fentanyl. We have to stop that.
Yes, certainly, it is important to do these screenings, and I thank
the gentlewoman for offering the amendment, but we have got to go much
further than that.
And again, Madam Chair, it is still early in the morning. We are
ready. Bring the supplemental bill to the floor.
Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
Ms. SCHRIER. Madam Chair, for somebody who agrees with my amendment,
that was a lot of commentary about our situation at the border.
I am not here to discuss our situation at the border or how we treat
refugees. I am not here to discuss the fact that families can be with
sponsors in the United States and not in detention centers.
I am merely here to discuss my amendment, which is that I would like
children to have appropriate medical care and developmental screenings.
Madam Chair, I am so glad to have the agreement from my colleague. I
yield back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentlewoman from Washington (Ms. Schrier).
The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes
appeared to have it.
Mr. PERRY. Madam Chair, I demand a recorded vote.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further
proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from Washington
will be postponed.
Amendment No. 61 Offered by Mrs. Lee of Nevada
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 61
printed in part B of House Report 116-109.
Mrs. LEE of Nevada. Madam Chairwoman, I have an amendment at the
desk.
The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:
Page 43, line 2, after the dollar amount, insert
``(increased by $5,000,000)
Page 134, line 20, after the dollar amount, insert
``(reduced by $5,000,000)''.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 431, the gentlewoman
from Nevada (Mrs. Lee) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Nevada.
Mrs. LEE of Nevada. Madam Chairwoman, I yield myself such time as I
may consume.
Madam Chairwoman, our amendment would provide an increase in funds
for graduate medical education.
Just today, the Commonwealth Fund rated my home State of Nevada as
the 48th State, overall, for healthcare performance. We trail the vast
majority of States in access, affordability, and use of preventive
care. Preventable hospitalizations are up, and adults with a regular
doctor are down.
Our amendment would invest in graduate medical education slots,
expanding access for Nevadans to get a primary care doctor or family
physician.
I am grateful for the help of Chairwoman DeLauro on this amendment,
as well as Congresswoman Porter for cosponsoring it with me.
Madam Chair, I urge all of my colleagues to support the amendment,
and I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I claim the time in opposition to the
amendment, even though I am not opposed to it.
The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, the gentleman from Maryland is
recognized for 5 minutes.
[[Page H4616]]
There was no objection.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mrs. LEE of Nevada. Madam Chairwoman, I yield 1 minute to the
gentlewoman from Connecticut (Ms. DeLauro).
Ms. DeLAURO. Madam Chair, I thank the gentlewoman for yielding.
I rise in support of this amendment.
Our country is facing medical provider shortages in many critical
fields of care, including primary care. These shortages have a
disproportionate impact in communities of color and in rural areas.
The bill includes an increase of $138 million to support the Health
Resources and Services Administration's health workforce programs,
which are designed to fill gaps in the supply of health professionals
in the areas with the most need. These programs prepare the next
generation of healthcare providers with the goal of improving access to
and quality of care.
The gentlewoman's amendment will build further on these efforts, and
I urge my colleagues to support this amendment.
Mrs. LEE of Nevada. Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, graduate medical education is absolutely a
problem; there is no question about it. The demographics are clear in
the United States.
We have an aging population that requires more services, and yet we
don't have enough graduate medical education to train all the
physicians and providers that we need to train.
Here is the problem with the amendment: It goes to one of those
bottomless wells, I guess. And not only does it go to a bottomless well
in the department that the money is spent in, it goes to a bottomless
well in another department.
Again, there is $10 billion in CHIP's funds unspent, could have come
from, but, no, the money is taken from the Secretary of Education's
departmental management fund.
Now, let's review the budget of the Department of Education, because
the budget is increased by 5 percent under the bill passed out by the
majority from the House, from the committee.
So get it. The Department of Education increased in size by 5
percent, and the bill itself level-funds the Department--management,
not Department, but the management.
So we are already asking the management to basically do 5 percent
more work for the same amount of money, and here comes along this
amendment, again, no question we need more graduate medical education.
Again, it is a question of priorities. If we need graduate medical
education, let's find something in HHS that we don't need much of, and
let's transfer that money.
But, no, that is not the approach taken here. It is magic. We want
magic to happen.
We want the Department of Education to do all the wonderful things
that we pay for in this budget, and we want them to do it with level
funding, even though the budget goes up 5 percent. And, now, this
amendment takes 1 percent--that is significant, 1 percent--because this
is not the only amendment that has gone after that pot of money. The
bottom line is it creates more mouths to feed.
This doesn't end well because, next year, this now becomes the
baseline and the Department--I don't know what they are going to do in
conference because, if all these amendments are passed, the Department
can't run on that money. They can't. You can't manage it.
Who are we going to fire? Are we going to fire 5 percent of the
people, 10 percent of the people expecting to do the same work?
This ain't the way to run anything, much less the Government of the
United States.
Madam Chair, I applaud the author of the amendment for the idea, but
for heaven's sake, we need fiscal sanity. We have a $22 trillion debt,
a $1 trillion deficit. We spend over $100 billion more than the
statutory authority in these appropriations bills. We have got to exert
fiscal discipline at some point.
Madam Chair, I reluctantly oppose the amendment, and I yield back the
balance of my time.
Mrs. LEE of Nevada. Madam Chair, I again thank Chairwoman DeLauro for
helping with this amendment, and I urge all of my colleagues to support
it.
Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentlewoman from Nevada (Mrs. Lee).
The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes

Amendment No. 62 Offered by Mrs. Craig
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 62
printed in part B of House Report 116-109.
Mrs. CRAIG. Madam Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.
The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:
Page 48, line 1, after the dollar amount, insert
``(increased by $1,000,000)''.
Page 90, line 6, after the first dollar amount, insert
``(reduced by $1,000,000)''.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 431, the gentlewoman
from Minnesota (Mrs. Craig) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Minnesota.
Mrs. CRAIG. Madam Chair, every Minnesotan deserves access to high-
quality healthcare no matter where they live. However, too many of my
neighbors face difficulty traveling long distances to the nearest
hospital or even finding a nearby pharmacy. On top of that,
prescription drug prices are skyrocketing and putting lifesaving
medications out of reach for too many families.
These critical issues--access to healthcare and the price of
prescription drugs--are the top issues I hear about in my district.
Therefore, my amendment would take a step toward addressing these
issues by giving the Health Resources and Services Administration's, or
HRSA, Federal Office of Rural Health Policy an additional $1 million to
prioritize its coordination with the U.S. Department of Agriculture to
establish its rural health liaison.
This amendment builds on report language in the underlying bill that
encourages HRSA to coordinate with the U.S. Department of Agriculture
to ensure communities have access to the full suite of Federal
resources and that those resources are used effectively for health
outcomes.
Madam Chair, for a bit of additional background, Representative Cheri
Bustos and Senator Tina Smith of Minnesota, their bipartisan Rural
Health Liaison Act of 2018 was ultimately included in the 2018 farm
bill and established this rural health liaison position.
{time} 0245
The liaison position at USDA will be responsible for working with the
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to better coordinate rural
health resources across Federal agencies. This new program is critical
to rural areas, which have historically lacked access to adequate
healthcare, and this disparity is getting worse.
It is vital that we move forward to close these gaps and address the
rural shortage of hospitals, medical professionals, mental health
services, and other healthcare resources to ensure that every family
can access the healthcare that they need.
Madam Chairwoman, as a Member of the House Agriculture Committee, I
have made it a priority to partner with rural communities to improve
access to healthcare, broadband, housing, and quality of life for those
who live there. This amendment is part of that commitment.
Our fight for more affordable, accessible healthcare must include
rural America if we are going to truly address this critical issue.
When our rural communities are healthy, all of our communities are
healthy.
Madam Chairwoman, I yield to the gentlewoman from Connecticut (Ms.
DeLauro), the chairwoman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on
Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies.
Ms. DeLAURO. Madam Chairwoman, I thank the gentlewoman for yielding
and rise in support of this amendment.
[[Page H4617]]
I just want to commend the gentlewoman for her commitment and
dedication to rural America and to her community.
The success of HHS programs to address rural health is enhanced when
programs coordinate with other agencies that have a related mission.
The committee report encourages the Health Resources and Services
Administration, to coordinate--HRSA is a part of Health and Human
Services--to coordinate with the U.S. Department of Agriculture and its
forthcoming rural health liaison, which has been determined by the farm
bill, to ensure communities have access to the spectrum of Federal
resources available to them, to ensure that these resources are managed
effectively and efficiently, and that people who are living in rural
communities are not isolated and without the services they need for
themselves and for their families, whether it be health, or whether it
be broadband, whether it be a variety of other areas, to allow people
to be able to have a good quality of life in some of the most remote
areas.
I thank the gentlewoman for offering this amendment and I urge my
colleagues to vote ``yes.''
Mrs. CRAIG. Madam Chairwoman, I urge my colleagues as well to support
this commonsense amendment, and I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chairwoman, I rise in opposition to the amendment,
even though I agree with the idea behind the amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, the gentleman from Maryland is
recognized for 5 minutes.
There was no objection.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chairwoman, there is no question that the rural
areas in this country frequently get shortchanged. I know because I
represent a rural area. That is why I was surprised because we just
heard a lot of lip service to doing great things for the rural areas,
but, in fact, rural health is level funded in this bill before us.
The Department spending is $10 billion higher and nothing, no
increase could go to the rural areas. And now, all of a sudden, we are
all fans of rural areas. On the other side of the aisle I guess we are
all fans of rural areas.
We do need this extra $1 million. Here is the problem. It didn't
identify another program to take the money from. It went to the
believably bottomless well of department management, the Office of the
Secretary, which now is up to $21 million in being raided just since
the last vote series.
I don't know. I don't think you need an accounting degree to figure
out that that doesn't work. We are asking the Department to do more
with much less money. And, again, we do these rural health programs. No
question. But I wish that rural health programs had gotten a
proportionate increase in the base bill that we are talking about, but
they didn't.
Now, I will tell the gentlewoman about one problem that is very
rampant in my rural areas and across the country. If most people were
asked: Where is the opioid crisis worse, urban or rural areas? We know
what they will respond, but the data shows that it is rural areas. They
have a worse problem. And, yet, it is now 2:50 in the morning and we
still haven't seen the supplemental bill that would help stop the flow
of illegal drugs across our southern border.
If we really care for our rural areas, we would ask the leadership to
now bring the bill. We can have it here in a half hour. Let's spend all
night. Let's protect our rural areas. There was 144 pounds of fentanyl
seized. When are we going to be tired about fentanyl crossing our
borders and killing our rural citizens?
When are we going to stop proving a political point and dealing with
the problem? We have been promised we are going to fast-track this.
Madam Chairwoman, the President suggested this amount a month ago. No
wonder America has an opinion of Congress of 9 percent, because the
President identified a problem a month ago and said: We are going to
run out of money to take care of children and to secure our border, and
Congress does nothing.
We want to help our rural areas. This is not the way to do it. Let's
stop the flow of illegal drugs across our southern borders. Let's stop
playing politics with the lives of our youth in rural areas by allowing
that flow of drugs across the border.
Madam Chairwoman, bring the supplemental bill to the floor tonight. I
yield back the balance of my time.
Mrs. CRAIG. May I inquire how much time I have remaining?
The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Minnesota has 30 seconds
remaining.
Mrs. CRAIG. Madam Chairwoman, I would like to point out that I, too,
am concerned about $22 trillion in deficits. But I can tell you, the
rural people in my district, they are very concerned about the $1
trillion tax bill that was a giveaway to the top 5 percent and large
corporations in this country.
I grew up in a mobile home park, and that was the last time we tried
trickle-down economics in this country, and nothing trickled down to my
family. So I will tell the gentleman this: If he wants to find $21
million since we have been here tonight, let's take a look at the Tax
Cuts and Jobs Act and have real middle-class tax reform.
Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.

Amendment No. 63 Offered by Mrs. Craig
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 63
printed in part B of House Report 116-109.
Mrs. CRAIG. Madam Chairwoman, I have an amendment at the desk.
The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:
Page 122, line 17, after the dollar amount, insert
``(reduced by $1,000,000) (increased by $1,000,000)''.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 431, the gentlewoman
from Minnesota (Mrs. Craig) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Minnesota.
Mrs. CRAIG. Madam Chairwoman, as a mother of four sons, the wife of
an educator, and the daughter of a teacher, I know that we should never
underestimate the power of a high-quality education, and we need the
Federal Government to be a strong partner in this effort.
That starts by fully funding special education. Unfortunately, for
far too long, the Federal Government has not lived up to its commitment
to fully fund special ed. Under the Individuals with Disabilities
Education Act, or IDEA, the Federal Government is required to fund
special education up to 40 percent per pupil. Special education
programs in Minnesota currently receive as little as 8 percent.
My amendment, which I am incredibly proud to introduce today with my
Minnesota colleague, Representative Pete Stauber, stresses the
importance of IDEA grants to States to address funding gaps in special
education programs.
These grants are given to each State to ensure that adequate
resources are being devoted to special education programs.
As the mother of a son with learning challenges, I am proud to fight
for our children and our communities. I want to thank the
Appropriations Committee for working on this issue, and I applaud their
work in increasing funding for IDEA.
This bill provides over $14 billion for special education, an
increase of $1 billion over the 2019 enacted level. This is a great
start toward that 40 percent. Special education should be a critical
piece of any conversation surrounding education because for too long,
we haven't given it the attention or the resources it deserves.
I am listening to my district. My district wants the Federal
Government to send its tax dollars back to Eagan, and Apple Valley, and
South Saint Paul, and West Saint Paul, and all of the places where we
can do what we need to do for our kids.
This isn't just about special education children. It has a ripple
effect. When we fail to fund special ed programs, that money is taken
from other
[[Page H4618]]
budgets in our schools to make up the difference, and all students end
up at a disadvantage.
Every student deserves access to a quality education no matter how
they learn. Our public schools give kids the skills they need to become
future leaders in our communities and earn a good life for their
families. Special education can make all of the difference in a
student's life and in a family's life, and we must take action to
ensure we are properly supporting these students.
Madam Chairwoman, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from
Connecticut (Ms. DeLauro), chairwoman of the House Appropriations
Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and
Related Agencies.
Ms. DeLAURO. Madam Chairwoman, I rise in support of this bipartisan
amendment in grants to States under the Individuals with Disabilities
Education Act, IDEA.
My colleague is right that the Federal Government has never met its
commitment to special education, which is why the underlying bill
includes $13.4 billion for IDEA Grants to States, a $1 billion increase
over fiscal year 2019.
This increase reflects the largest increase to the program in more
than a decade. I am deeply concerned that the Federal share of the
excess cost of educating students with disabilities has declined in
recent years and intend for this historic investment to play a critical
role in helping to reverse that trend.
I appreciate that the amendment draws attention to this important
program. I am happy to support it, and I urge my colleagues to support
it.
Mrs. CRAIG. Madam Chairwoman, I urge my colleague to support this
amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time.

Mrs. CRAIG. Madam Chair, education is at the core of our communities,
but for too long, students have been told that traditional, 4-year
degrees are their only option for finding good-paying jobs.
In reality, we have a major skills gap in Minnesota. We are unable to
find skilled workers for the jobs that exist.
I have one son in high school, two in traditional 4-year colleges,
and my last son, Josh, just graduated from a career training program.
He is my son with multiple job offers.
Career and technical education needs to be a critical investment in
order to connect workers with the right training to help keep our
economy strong.
My amendment stresses the importance of Perkins funding in adult
education to ensure that we are devoting adequate resources to job
training programs. Expanding access to grants for career and technical
education, including apprenticeships, is critical.
Minnesota's economy depends on bright, talented young people, and we
need to make sure that they have the skills they need to succeed. That
starts with taking a new approach to postsecondary education and
training and expanding career and technical education opportunities.
Everyone should be able to get the skills and training that they need
to find a good-paying job. To make this a reality, we need to take a
fresh look at our job market, our education system, and the way we
prepare students for the workforce. That starts by investing in these
programs and helping our young people see 2-year degrees as part of
their career path.
We have to change the way we think about postsecondary education in
this country. We have to look at the economy in education, and a
critical piece is investing in career skills and technical education.
Madam Chair, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from Connecticut
(Ms. DeLauro).
Ms. DeLAURO. Madam Chair, I rise in support of this amendment.
The career and technical education program helps ensure that high
school and community college students are well-prepared for further
education and employment in high-skill and high-demand jobs in the
21st-century economy.
Research by the conservative American Enterprise Institute found that
students who take career and technical education credits in high school
were more likely to be employed full time a decade later than those who
did not.
The adult basic literacy education program provides education and
literacy assistance to low-skilled Americans, enabling them to acquire
foundational reading, math, and English skills as well as career
readiness skills for employment or transition to advanced postsecondary
education. That is why the Labor-HHS bill provides an increase of $77
million for CTE and adult education, for a total of $2 billion, to
further support the work that these critical programs do.
Today, 70 percent of the people in the United States do not have a 4-
year liberal arts college degree. We need to make sure that this 70
percent has the opportunity to realize their dreams and aspirations and
provide them with educational opportunities that will give them and
their families economic security for their futures.
I appreciate that the amendment draws attention to these important
issues, and I am happy to support it.
Mrs. CRAIG. Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I rise in opposition, even though I support
the amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, the gentleman from Maryland is
recognized for 5 minutes.
There was no objection.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, there is no question that we have
shortchanged career and technical education over the last few years
because, to be honest, the last administration had a very different
attitude about the needs of higher education. Thank goodness this
Secretary and this administration have said career and technical
education is important.
It is an important part of our economy, and we find that those
individuals who have career and technical education in those sectors of
the economy that are vibrant do have multiple job offers. They have
very lucrative job offers.
On the other hand, some of the individuals who go to a traditional
college leave with liberal arts degrees and leave with huge debts and
very limited opportunities for employment.
We have to rebalance that. I applaud the gentlewoman from Minnesota
for emphasizing the importance because this is long, long overdue.
Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mrs. CRAIG. Madam Chair, I urge my colleagues to support this
amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.

Mr. MASSIE. Madam Chair, I demand a recorded vote.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further
proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from Minnesota
will be postponed.

Amendment No. 65 Offered by Ms. Porter
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 65
printed in part B of House Report 116-109.
Ms. PORTER. Madam Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.
The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:
Page 75, line 4, after the dollar amount, insert
``(increased by $2,000,000)''.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 431, the gentlewoman
from California (Ms. Porter) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from California.
Ms. PORTER. Madam Chair, I rise to offer an amendment to the fiscal
year 2020 appropriations bill that would increase funding for the
Senior Medicare Patrol program.
Every year, we lose more than $60 billion to fraud and abuse in
Medicare. Money lost to fraud means fewer dollars available for needed
services and a decreased quality of care for all.
Senior Medicare Patrol supports both Medicare and Medicaid
beneficiaries by helping them to detect and report healthcare fraud.
Each year, this program helps both seniors and the Federal Government
recover or avoid losing billions of dollars.
I am proud to say that California's Senior Medicare Patrol program is
based in my district and in my hometown of Irvine. The program is
administered there by California Health Advocates.
CHA recently received its performance measure numbers from the Office
of the Inspector General for 2018. Through the program, it reached
200,000 California beneficiaries, families, and caregivers with fraud
prevention messages; hosted nearly 3,000 outreach events; and recruited
over 600 volunteers across the State to fight for seniors and families.
I thank those 600 volunteers in California and more than 5,000 across
the country, many of whom are retired and are on Medicare themselves,
for their tireless efforts.
Last year, the Office of the Inspector General of HHS investigated a
case in Los Angeles in which a doctor and a recruiter were found guilty
for their roles in frequently billing Medicare for clinic, hospice
services, and durable medical equipment that patients either didn't
need or didn't receive. This fraud cost Medicare and patients $33
million.
Senior Medicare Patrol helps stop fraudulent actors, saving the
system money.
Rising as well are lab schemes in which labs are offering cancer
screens using genetic testing, but really, these labs are collecting
Medicare numbers for potential medical identity theft or billing
Medicare for expensive genetic tests that no one needs. These costs are
passed on to Medicare, taxpayers, or to the patients themselves.
Recently, California Health Advocates issued an alert in nine
languages about these fraudulent tests. Because of this alert, senior
centers that have been approached by those executing these schemes have
shut them out, armed with the knowledge they need to protect their
patients from fraud.
I am proud to be here today to ensure that this program receives the
funding it needs. As a consumer protection advocate, keeping seniors
and taxpayers safe from fraud is a top priority.
Madam Chair, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from Connecticut
(Ms. DeLauro).
Ms. DeLAURO. Madam Chair, I rise in support of Congresswoman Porter's
amendment.
It increases funding for the Senior Medicare Patrol program by $2
million. It provides important outreach, counseling, and education to
Medicare beneficiaries, their families, and caregivers to detect and
report fraud, a critical program. It protects seniors as well as
taxpayers from criminal fraud, reaches nearly 2 million beneficiaries
per year, and returns millions of dollars in savings to the Treasury.
Madam Chair, I urge my colleagues to support this amendment.
Ms. PORTER. Madam Chair, I thank the chairwoman for her remarks, and
I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I rise in opposition to the amendment.
The Acting CHAIR (Mrs. Craig). The gentleman from Maryland is
recognized for 5 minutes.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, the idea is okay. This is all part of the
puzzle. The Senior Medicare Patrol is a part of the puzzle.
But, again, my problem with this amendment is not that this program
doesn't have some value. It is from where it takes the money. It makes
the judgment that the other things in that pot of fraud control--
because that is the pot it comes out of. It doesn't say that this fraud
control program is so important that we are going to look into some
other part of HHS to take those dollars. It says that the other parts
of fraud control are not as important.
Madam Chair, part of this money goes, for instance, to Department of
Justice special attorneys who actually have to prosecute the cases. It
is nice to find fraud, but if we don't have money to prosecute the
cases, then we have a problem.
Again, this is the wishful thinking that we can just create all kinds
of programs and that it doesn't make a difference where the money comes
from. But it does because this $2 million comes out of some other fraud
control somewhere. That is my concern.
I don't know that we have the knowledge to know that this fraud
control actually yields more in terms of catching fraud and getting
fraud moneys back than other uses of this account.
That is why, again, I applaud the idea. Let's train everybody to
look. We know that fraud in Medicare and Medicaid is huge. The American
taxpayer deserves to catch all the fraud. I am just not sure this is
the best way to spend our fraud dollars. This account has already been
plussed-up in the underlying bill, and that is why I reluctantly oppose
the amendment.
Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
Ms. PORTER. Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the

Amendment No. 66 Offered by Ms. Porter
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 66
printed in part B of House Report 116-109.
Ms. PORTER. Madam Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.
The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:
Page 49, line 17, after the dollar amount, insert
``(increased by $1,000,000)''.
Page 90, line 6, after the first dollar amount, insert
``(reduced by $1,000,000)''.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 431, the gentlewoman
from California (Ms. Porter) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from California.
Ms. PORTER. Madam Chair, I rise today to offer an amendment to the
fiscal year 2020 appropriations bill that would provide essential
funding to the Health Resources and Service Administration, HRSA, for
its critical research to create a strategy to address intimate partner
violence.
Intimate partner violence is a critical public health issue that
affects millions of women, men, children, and families. The HRSA
strategy uses research to help partners identify and address key social
determinants of health and their interactions with the impacts of
intimate partner violence through awareness, screening, and treatment.
Building on studies from the VAWA health program, HRSA has used this
funding to couple the strategy with a program known as Project Catalyst
to foster intimate partner violence response and health collaboration
at the State level.
More than 25 percent of women and 11 percent of men have experienced
sexual violence, physical violence, or stalking by an intimate partner
in their lifetimes, and I am one of them.
[[Page H4620]]
My three children and I were able to move forward with our lives,
staying in our community and our home. I found help to heal our family
and let us rebuild our lives, and I relied on essential healthcare
resources in this process. That rebuilding brought me here to advocate
for survivors who escaped the cycle of violence and to speak on behalf
of those who haven't.
Each year, millions suffer in silence. Our healthcare workforce needs
the tools and knowledge necessary to support every single victim of
intimate partner violence. The funding through HRSA's strategy to
address intimate partner violence includes the integration of intimate
partner violence responses into HIV, home healthcare, and numerous
other women's programs.
This fiscal year 2020 request will create dedicated funding under
programs at HRSA specifically focusing on community health centers that
provide essential local primary and mental healthcare.
My district in Orange County is home to eight community health
centers. I hope that with the growth of this program, more of these
providers will have the opportunity to address intimate partner
violence.
{time} 0315
We need funding to complete the work necessary to implement HRSA's
strategy and for the growth of Project Catalyst to add more States to
this initiative.
Madam Chair, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from Connecticut
(Ms. DeLauro).
Ms. DeLAURO. Madam Chair, I rise in support of this amendment. First
of all, let me say a ``thank you'' to our colleague, the gentlewoman,
for having the courage to tell her own story in such a public way.
Intimate partner violence is a serious public health problem. It
affects millions of women and men across the country.
The HRSA strategy to address intimate partner violence focuses on
agency- and system-wide efforts to improve the awareness about this
violence, screening, and treatment.
The related Project Catalyst is supporting these efforts at the State
level.
Madam Chair, I thank the gentlewoman for offering this amendment, and
I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes.''
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I rise in opposition to the amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Maryland is recognized for 5
minutes.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I don't oppose the amendment, because this
is a very important topic. There is no question about it. This is
another one of the ways that our country needs improvement. Certainly,
the Federal Government is an appropriate place to look for strategies
to do that improvement.
Here is the problem: We have to set priorities. If this is a
priority--look, we have a trillion-dollar deficit. And this should be a
priority. Let's find a program that is not as important, decrease the
funding to that program, increase the funding to this program.
Madam Chair, that is not the approach the amendment takes.
We are now up to $22 million, if all the amendments pass that we have
discussed since just the last amendment vote--$22 million coming from
the Secretary's management account.
You know, this is having your cake and eating it too. This is saying:
This is important, but I am not going to make the tough decision of
what is less important. Because it is mythical to believe that we are
going to cut $22 million out of a growing agency's budget to manage
that growing agency and not have an effect.
So, that is why I reluctantly rise to oppose it. Madam Chair, it is
about priorities.
They send us to make the tough decisions. The tough decision isn't to
say: Here are all the things. Let's go fund them all.
The tough decision is: This is what needs priority. And this does
need priority. The tough decision is asking what has less priority, not
going to that magical, bottomless well of the Secretary's management
funds, because, Madam Chair, we are up to $22 million. And that is just
since this vote. I haven't totaled up before the last vote series.
At some point, the Secretary is going to have to start taking out
loans.
So, Madam Chair, again, I reluctantly rise to oppose the amendment,
and I reserve the balance of my time.
Ms. PORTER. Madam Chair, it is not eating cake to want women to be
safe in their homes and from their partners.
I know a lot about tough decisions and about priorities, and I have
faced tough decisions about how to protect my own family. And I am
proud that it is a priority of mine and of my Democratic colleagues to
support full funding to stop intimate partner violence.
Madam Chair, I respectfully ask for the support of all of my
colleagues in this amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I join the gentlewoman from California in
recognizing the incredible importance of this. I have stated that.
Having your cake and eating it too is not related specifically to
this amendment, but the idea that we have been discussing now for 2
hours, that we have all these things that are good--they probably are
priorities--but the tough decision is to find where we are going to--
and not pretend that the Secretary's management budget is an endless
well. That is just pretending.
Madam Chair, that is why 9 percent of Americans have a favorable view
of Congress. Because, in our households, when we make a decision about
a priority to spend money on something here, we take it out of
somewhere else where we are not going to spend money, and not make-
believe stuff.
So, Madam Chair, again: Well intentioned, well needed. We need to set
priorities, and then we need to find places to make the cuts to fund
those priorities.
I yield back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentlewoman from California (Ms. Porter).
The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes

Amendment No. 67 Offered by Ms. Porter
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 67
printed in part B of House Report 116-109.
Ms. PORTER. Madam Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.
The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:
Page 108, strike lines 8 through 11 and insert the
following:
(1) Detailed monthly enrollment figures from the Exchanges
established under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care
Act of 2010 pertaining to enrollments during the open
enrollment period, including State enrollment figures
disaggregated by race, ethnicity, preferred language, age,
and sex.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 431, the gentlewoman
from California (Ms. Porter) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from California.
Ms. PORTER. Madam Chair, I rise today to offer an amendment to the
fiscal year 2020 appropriations bill which would require the Secretary
of Health and Human Services to provide the Appropriations Committee
with detailed monthly State enrollment figures.
My amendment requires that these figures include State enrollment
numbers, disaggregated by race, ethnicity, preferred language, age, and
sex.
It is important to get detailed information on who is enrolling and
who isn't in ACA coverage. By understanding trends, we can look for
populations that are being missed or underserved.
In particular, under this administration, progress that we had made
in reducing the uninsured population has stalled. According to the
latest census data, in 2017, for the first time since the passage of
the ACA, the Asian American uninsured rate remained virtually flat at
6.4 percent, while the Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander uninsured
rate increased from 7.7 percent to 8.3 percent.
Previously, disparities in uninsurance rates among these communities
had been eliminated because of coverage expansion from the ACA.
[[Page H4621]]
Groups engaging in enrollment work have fewer resources because of
this administration and, therefore, must engage in more targeted and
limited outreach.
Even further, this data is from 2017, before the administration
launched even more aggressive attacks to dismantle our healthcare
system after they failed to repeal it without a replacement.
Our next census will show how the attacks of 2018 and 2019 will
affect enrollment numbers, but we need the information that essential
monthly enrollment data can tell us long before the census is
published.
By better understanding where gaps exist and in which groups we are
seeing negative trends in insurance enrollment, we can better focus
essential outreach and education. In particular, this will help
organizations serving hard-to-reach populations and communities of
color.
While CMS has provided an annual detailed enrollment report, it has
failed to provide more regular updates on enrollment during the year
and also has failed to provide detailed enrollment data showing
enrollment for race subgroups or data to show how people are enrolling.
This amendment would provide the necessary transparency into
enrollment trends.
I am proud to represent a diverse district, and I came to Congress to
serve and represent their needs. I hope this amendment will be an
essential step forward to helping Congress and the country better
understand how we are failing communities of color and how we can
provide more accessible care.
Madam Chair, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from Connecticut
(Ms. DeLauro).
Ms. DeLAURO. Madam Chair, I rise in support of the gentlewoman's
amendment, which adds this requirement for monthly ACA enrollment
information to be disaggregated by race, ethnicity, preferred language,
age, and sex.
The amendment will help States and their healthcare exchanges reach
underserved and in-need populations that are not yet enrolled or are
underenrolled.
As the HHS's Office of Minority Health said in 2017: ``In the United
States, it has been estimated that the combined cost of health
disparities and subsequent deaths among racial and ethnic minorities
due to inadequate and/or inequitable care is $1.24 trillion.''
We need to do more to eliminate these disparities and improve access
to healthcare. This amendment is part of our efforts to be able to do
so, and I urge my colleagues to support the amendment.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I rise in opposition to the amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Maryland is recognized for 5
minutes.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, there are a lot of wonderful things we can
do, but here is the problem: Since the last vote series, we have
actually cut management by $22 million, and now we expect them to do
more.
This is wanting to have your cake and eat it too. Literally, this
amendment causes the administration to have to spend more.
Look, that could be a priority, but, if we pass all the amendments
that we have considered since 1 p.m.--1 a.m.--I am sorry--East Coast
time when we had the last vote series, we have cut the Secretary's
ability by $22 million to do these things.
So you have got to choose: Do you want this, or do you want to cut
the Secretary's budget? This is what priorities are all about.
So, no matter how useful this could be, Madam Chair, I would urge my
colleagues, if we pass the amendments that cut tens of millions of
dollars from management, then we can't accomplish this.
Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
Ms. PORTER. Madam Chair, this amendment would ultimately save
dollars, as explained by Chairwoman DeLauro. It would reduce
uninsurance rates, particularly in populations that are receiving less
care.
This is, ultimately, a bill that will reduce the costs of our
healthcare system by making all of our communities healthier. It is a
bill about equity, but it is also a financially responsible bill.
I urge my colleagues to support it, and I yield back the balance of
my time.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, again, it is nice to believe that, somehow,
if we put this language in, we are going to save money somehow.
This was the promise of the ACA: If we just insure more people, for
instance, they won't use the emergency room as much. Remember that?
Back in 2010, they said: Oh, we are using the emergency room a whole
lot. All we have to do is pass the ACA and our emergency room usage
will go down.
What happened? It went up 20 percent. Healthcare spending actually
went up.
Now, look, having insurance is a good thing. No question about it. I
am a physician. I get it. But, to say that we are going to save money
by doing this--no. This is going to cost money because management has
to obtain these figures.
If this was going to save money, this is easy. Let's find someplace
to pay for it rather than the Secretary's account if it is this great
money saver.
As useful as this could be, again, I would urge my colleagues: If we
pass all the amendments, again, just the $22 million in cuts to
management since the last vote series, we can't afford this.
Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentlewoman from California (Ms. Porter).
The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes
appeared to have it.
Mr. NORMAN. Madam Chair, I demand a recorded vote.

Amendment No. 68 Offered by Ms. Mucarsel-Powell
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 68
printed in part B of House Report 116-109.
Ms. MUCARSEL-POWELL. Madam Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.
The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:
Page 90, line 10, after the dollar amount, insert
``(increased by $5,000,000)''.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 431, the gentlewoman
from Florida (Ms. Mucarsel-Powell) and a Member opposed each will
control 5 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Florida.
Ms. MUCARSEL-POWELL. Madam Chair, I rise in support of my amendment,
which would set aside a further $5 million for the Minority AIDS
Initiative Fund.
HIV/AIDS remains a major problem in this country, with approximately
1.1 million people currently living with the disease, 130,000 of whom
reside in the State of Florida, and over 26,000 in Miami-Dade alone. It
is estimated that there are 40,000 new diagnoses every year, with
racial and ethnic minorities making up three of four new cases.
Despite advances in medicine and research and progress combating this
issue nationwide, in Miami, this trend is going in the wrong direction.
The rate of new diagnoses in the Miami area is three times the national
average, the highest rate of anywhere in the country.
It is critical that we devote the necessary resources to curb the
spread of this disease and provide care for those living with HIV/AIDS.
The Minority AIDS Initiative Fund plays a crucial role in addressing
key health disparities by bringing Federal, State, and community
organizations together to test innovative solutions and address
emerging needs in communities impacted by this epidemic.
My amendment will help support further efforts to improve access to
HIV prevention and care services for racial and ethnic minorities. In
its current capacity, the program supports more than 33 projects and
130 community partners across the country. This increase in funding
would not only expand on the successful initiatives, but
[[Page H4622]]
also support new ventures addressing the spread of HIV/AIDS in
underserved populations.
For example, in my home district, the organization Prevention305 is
helping combat this epidemic by increasing awareness of and access to
PrEP medication, a key tool that greatly reduces the spread of HIV.
It is critical that we continue to provide for such innovative
initiatives that help prevent the spread of this disease and provide
quality care for those infected by HIV/AIDS.
I ask my colleagues today to join me in the fight to end this
epidemic once and for all and provide the relief to those living with
or impacted by this disease.
Madam Chair, I yield 1 minute to the distinguished gentlewoman from
Connecticut (Ms. DeLauro).
Ms. DeLAURO. Madam Chair, I rise in support of the Congresswoman's
amendment. I commend Representative Mucarsel-Powell for her work to
address the HIV/AIDS epidemic in minority communities.
The additional funding in this amendment will help to address an
epidemic in communities most in need. Of all PrEP users, only 8 percent
are African American, and only 9 percent are Hispanic. I might add that
there is also a very low percentage of women who are able to access
PrEP. There is a particular lack of access in the south. And the cost
of PrEP is exorbitant, in some cases, up to $13,000.
Only half of racial minorities living with HIV have a suppressed
viral load. That is why the underlying Labor-HHS, Education bill that
we considered tonight, or early morning, increases funding for HIV/AIDS
prevention and treatment activities by more than $500 million,
including increases for the Ryan White program, to increase access to
antiretroviral therapy, or ART, community health centers, to increase
availability of pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP, and the CDC for
prevention activities.
I support this amendment and, again, commend the gentlewoman for
bringing it forward.
Ms. MUCARSEL-POWELL. Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my
time.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I rise in opposition to the amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Maryland is recognized for 5
minutes.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, here we go again. I mean, let's play some
more pretend.
Look, it's 3:30 in the morning, America is watching. This is why they
have a 9 percent favorable rating of us.
The fact of the matter is, this whole budget is pretend. It pretends
that our current statute, under the Budget Control Act, isn't at a
billions of dollars lower level. So the committee pretended and said,
we are going to pretend that the statute is something else, and we are
going to spend all this money, including over $500 million more for
AIDS. Laudable. It is pretend though.
So what does this amendment do? It just pretends a little more. It
pretends that we can take that $5 million because, Madam Chair, this
comes from that same fund. This is the Secretary's management fund.
We are up to $27 million we have taken in just 2\1/2\ short hours.
This isn't a bottomless well.
I get it. We want to make a point that--and look, congratulations to
the President. The President's State of the Union address, standing
right on that podium, said that we have to have a struggle and a fight
to end HIV/AIDS.
But you don't do it by taking the money from the Secretary's
management fund, now up to $27 million in just 2\1/2\ short hours. Find
it somewhere else. If this is so important, find it somewhere else.
Don't play pretend.
We are not going to fool the American people. When they make a budget
decision today, they choose to do something that they think is
important. They choose not to do something that they think is less
important. That is the way they expect us to act, not play pretend.
We have a $22 trillion debt, a $1 trillion deficit, and we are
playing pretend at 3:30 in the morning. No wonder we have a 9 percent
favorable rating. No wonder Americans don't trust Congress, because
they know we make this stuff up.
Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the

will be postponed.
The Chair understands that amendment No. 69 will not be offered.
Amendment No. 70 Offered by Mr. Levin of Michigan
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 70
printed in part B of House Report 116-109.
Mr. LEVIN of Michigan. Madam Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.
The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:
Page 20, line 4, after the first dollar amount, insert
``(reduced by $4,000,000)''.
Page 135, line 13, after the first dollar amount, insert
``(increased by $4,000,000)''.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 431, the gentleman
from Michigan (Mr. Levin) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Michigan.
Mr. LEVIN of Michigan. Madam Chair, I am proud to be joined by 11 of
my colleagues from the Committee on Education and Labor in presenting
this amendment, which would increase funding for the Department of
Education's Office of Inspector General, or the EDOIG, by $4 million
dollars.
EDOIG conducts independent and objective audits, investigations, and
other activities to promote the efficiency, effectiveness, and
integrity of the Department.
This office helps prevent and detect fraud, waste, and abuse, and
that work is as important now as it has ever been, especially since the
Department of Education has violated the law on three different
occasions under this administration.
Just last year, a Federal court ruled that the Department's actions
during the rollback of a loan-relief plan, had violated Federal privacy
law.
The Department also violated the Administrative Procedures Act by
arbitrarily refusing to discharge the student loan payments of
borrowers who attended Corinthian College, a for-profit university
accused of predatory lending.
And recently, the Department illegally delayed Obama-era regulations
governing online colleges, without conducting the legally-required
negotiated rulemaking.
We insist upon the utmost integrity at the Department entrusted with
the education of our children, and this amendment will make sure that
OIG has the resources and staff it needs to do its critical work.
I would like to reiterate my gratitude to my Education and Labor
Committee colleagues who joined me as cosponsors of this amendment. And
I would also like to thank Chairman Bobby Scott and his team for his
visionary leadership of our work on behalf of students, families,
workers, and all Americans.
I also thank Chairwoman DeLauro and Chairwoman Lowey for working with
me on this, and for their leadership on this bill which prioritizes
funding for programs that provide opportunities for millions of
American families. Many of those programs have been shortchanged in
recent years, and that will no longer be the case, thanks to the
gentlewomen's leadership.
I urge my colleagues to support this amendment.
Madam Chair, I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from Connecticut
(Ms. DeLauro), my esteemed colleague.
Ms. DeLAURO. Madam Chair, I thank the gentleman for yielding, and I
rise in support of his amendment.
The mission of the Office of Inspector General is to ``conduct
independent and objective audits, investigations, and other activities
to promote the efficiency, effectiveness, and integrity of the
Department's programs and operations.''
[[Page H4623]]
We must insist on a strong ethical framework and invest in robust
oversight of our Federal Government. That is why I am pleased to say
that the underlying Labor-HHS bill provides an increase of $2.3
million, for a total of $63.4 million for the OIG.
Over the past several years, we have witnessed a collapse of
predatory for-profit colleges; publicly-traded Corinthian and ITT
Technical Institutes were among them.
The Department of Education Inspector General issued an audit report
that evaluated the ways in which the Department is monitoring these
institutions. It concluded that the existing Borrower Defense
regulation will help the Department better mitigate potential harm to
students and taxpayers.
It is critical that we heed the information and recommendations that
come from these reports, and we must protect the integrity of the
Borrower Defense rule. It uncovered the mismanagement and the lack of
oversight of the student loan serving industry by the Federal Student
Loan Office, harming millions of students across this country.
The work carried out every day by the OIG across agencies is
fundamental to maintaining the integrity and the efficiency of our
government programs.
I commend the gentleman, and I am happy to accept this amendment.
Mr. LEVIN of Michigan. Madam Chair, I want to commend my colleague
from Connecticut, on behalf of the entire freshman class, for her
incredible leadership on this bill.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I rise in opposition to the amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Maryland is recognized for 5
minutes.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, well, we finally have a prioritization here.
This amendment actually takes money from one program that it thinks is
not as important and puts it in another program it thinks is
underfunded. But that is interesting because, look, the Inspector
Generals are very important.
God knows the Inspector General over at Justice is doing a very
important job right now. He has got to look into what the heck went on
over in the senior levels of the Department of Justice that resulted in
that Steele dossier, paid for by a campaign, actually ending up causing
an investigation during a political campaign. Oh, those Inspector
Generals are important. I will agree with on you that.
But this bill already increases the funding of the Inspector General
by 4 percent, higher than inflation. The bill already has an increase.
Most people would think that is enough. Most Americans, if they got a
4 percent increase in their paycheck, they would go, wow, this is
great. This is more than inflation. We want to do a little more.
But that is not the problem with this. It is where the money comes
from. You see, because the money comes from already-reduced funding at
the Office of Labor Management Standards.
So what is the Office of Labor Management because, you know, Madam
Chair, we have--at 3:45 Eastern Time we probably don't have millions of
people watching, but we have Americans watching who might be asking,
what is this Office of Labor Management?
This is the one that actually sees that unions are following the
rules.
{time} 0345
Now, that is actually pretty important now, because there was a major
Supreme Court decision called Janus last year that actually said that
unions can't force their members to pay dues for political purposes.
That is a broad, new responsibility.
So the fact of the matter is that the Supreme Court has basically
said there is this broad, new responsibility for the Office of Labor-
Management Standards because, Madam Chair, we already have reports of
how unions are kind of gaming this and not really complying with the
Supreme Court. The committee already cut it.
Madam Chair, I do commend the gentleman, because if he has been here
a while--well, he may not have been here for the last couple of hours,
but I have said, look, when we fund one program more, we have got to
fund another program less. Madam Chair, I congratulate the gentleman
for doing it.
I just disagree with what the gentleman wants to fund less, because
this is critical, because American workers who don't believe in the
politics of what their union is promoting shouldn't be forced to pay
for that political advocacy. Janus was clear on that.
It is also clear that unions are trying to get around that, and the
enforcement is through the Office of Labor-Management Standards.
We should be increasing this, not decreasing it as it was in the
baseline budget, and certainly not decreasing it further, as the
gentleman has proposed.
Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. LEVIN of Michigan. Madam Chair, may I inquire how much time I
have remaining.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman has 15 seconds remaining.
Mr. LEVIN of Michigan. Madam Chair, I will close.
I will use my last 10 seconds to tell the gentleman that the Janus
decision was nothing about people not paying dues. Unions have not been
allowed to make people pay dues for 60 years in this country. It was
about not having workers pay their fair share for services that unions
are forced to provide them under U.S. law.
Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I stand corrected. The gentleman is
absolutely right. It is the unions actually forcing nonunion members to
pay. And it is equally egregious. It equally is enforced under this,
and that is why I oppose it. We should actually be increasing the
funds.
Again, I congratulate the gentleman for setting priorities. I just
disagree with his priorities.
Madam Chair, I urge the Members to oppose the amendment, and I yield
back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Levin).
The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes
appeared to have it.
Mr. NORMAN. Madam Chair, I demand a recorded vote.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further
proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Michigan
will be postponed.
Amendment No. 71 Offered by Ms. Pressley
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 71
printed in part B of House Report 116-109.
Ms. PRESSLEY. Madam Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.
The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:
Page 42, line 13, after the dollar amount, insert
``(increased by $5,000,000)''.
Page 71, line 16, after the dollar amount, insert
``(reduced by $5,000,000)''.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 431, the gentlewoman
from Massachusetts (Ms. Pressley) and a Member opposed each will
control 5 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Massachusetts.
Ms. PRESSLEY. Madam Chair, a school nurse saved my life. Throughout
grade school, I was a frequent flier at the nurse's office, not because
anything was physically wrong with me, but because the nurse's office
was a place of refuge from the destabilizing, predatory abuse that I
was experiencing at the hands of people charged with my care.
Instability, abuse, food insecurity, and violence are serious
systemic issues that are significant barriers to learning. Trauma is a
barrier to learning.
According to the National Child Traumatic Stress Network, more than
25 percent of American youth experience a serious traumatic event--such
as sexual abuse, community violence, displacement--by their 16th
birthday, and many children suffer multiple and repeated traumas.
Health and education are inextricably linked, and it remains one of
the greatest public health challenges of our time.
As a Boston city councilor, I fought for equitable access to school
nurses in the Boston Public Schools system, and as a Member of
Congress, I plan to do the same.
My amendment provides $5 million to fund high-quality healthcare for
children and young people in schools and
[[Page H4624]]
to support school-based health centers, a critical safety net for our
Nation's youth.
School-based health centers provide excellent, accessible, trusted
healthcare and information for students.
I firmly believe students who are present and healthy are best
prepared and able to learn. That is true for children across my own
district in the Massachusetts Seventh and all districts throughout our
country.
Today, nearly 4 million children are uninsured and lack access to
necessary healthcare services. There are children living in poverty for
whom school-based health centers and nurses are their only source of
accessible primary and mental healthcare.
Rates of suicide, childhood chronic illness, and community gun
violence are on the rise. This is a public health crisis. It is
downright irresponsible, unconscionable for us to ignore it.
In addition to funding high-quality and accessible healthcare, my
amendment leverages the safety and convenience of neighborhood schools,
like those across the Massachusetts Seventh, to improve the health and
well-being of students and help families access the quality healthcare
they need.
School-based health centers provide comprehensive healthcare to
children and young people in a setting that they trust, a setting that
is familiar, and a setting that is accessible at their school.
It was a school nurse who picked up on the signs. Like so many
children, some act out and some shut down, and I was one of those who
shut down. Were it not for a school nurse who saw the signs that I was
exhibiting of distress and trauma, I doubt that I would be here
standing before you today.
There are young people like Sofia, a junior at a Boston public high
school whom I spoke with recently, who visited the school nurse and
revealed that she was depressed, suicidal, and missing school. The
proximity to the school nurse's staff made her feel safe and listened
to, and they helped her brainstorm ways to talk to her parents. Within
a week, she was in school-based counseling, with the consent of her
parents, as well as working to manage her assignments.
Unfortunately, Sofia's story isn't unique. There are many students
who struggle under the weight of mental health and trauma every day.
It was a former Surgeon General who once said: ``We can't educate
children who are not healthy, and we can't keep them healthy if they
aren't educated.''
It is our moral imperative to support children in their health and
wholeness. My amendment asks Congress to do the right thing, the smart
thing, and invest in school-based health centers to improve the health
and well-being of our Nation's youth.
Madam Chair, I yield 45 seconds to the gentlewoman from Connecticut
(Ms. DeLauro).
Ms. DeLAURO. Madam Chair, I thank the gentlewoman for yielding, and I
rise in support of her amendment. I will take less than 45 seconds.
Madam Chair, my view and what I think this amendment does is it
further increases resources for the Health Centers program. The
underlying bill is $50 million, but it expands it to provide the
opportunity for school-based care.
What we need in this Nation is mental health services in every school
in this Nation to be able to recognize telltale signs of adverse
effects that children are experiencing, whether it be trauma, whether
it be food insecurity, whether it be violence or abuse, in order to be
able to prevent what could happen as a result of those adverse
experiences.
Madam Chair, I support the gentlewoman's amendment.
Ms. PRESSLEY. Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I claim the time in opposition to the
amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Maryland is recognized for 5
minutes.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, there is no arguing that these programs are
important, but, again, we have to set priorities.
This doesn't say this program is important, and this other one is
less important so we are going to take money from it. In fact, it takes
money from CMS management.
Now, that is kind of interesting, because I have a lot of seniors in
my district who depend upon Medicare being administered properly.
Thirteen thousand seniors enter Medicare every day, and what this
amendment does is cut the funding to HHS that oversees the management
of CMS, oversees the management of those 13,000 people entering
Medicare every day.
I have no argument with these school health programs. They are
important. But if they are important, then we have to choose what is
less important.
I wouldn't have chosen, certainly, the management of the Medicare
program. I think the seniors in my district would beg to differ that
that is a good priority choice.
For that reason, Madam Chair, I reluctantly oppose the amendment
because it doesn't set the priorities that need to be set, despite how
important they are.
Madam Chair, I thank the gentlewoman from Massachusetts for
recognizing the importance of these programs.
Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
Ms. PRESSLEY. Madam Chair, I could argue that this amendment will
actually find administrative savings to cover healthcare costs.
Further, it has been my experience that the elders and the
grandparents I work with are deeply concerned about the state of their
grandchildren and the growing chronic illness, mental health, substance
abuse issues, rates of suicide.
Furthermore, persistent disparities exist in my district and
districts throughout the country where ZIP Code determines your health
outcomes.
Children in Dorchester are two times more likely to be hospitalized,
three times more for asthma, than children in more affluent parts of my
district.
We should leverage every tool available to us to ensure that all
children, regardless of where they live, have access to the health
services they need to thrive.
Madam Chair, I urge my colleagues to support this amendment, and I
yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, again, I am not going to argue about the
importance of the clinics, but to somehow suggest that a program that
is a complete subsidy program--Madam Chair, all we have to do is just
read. This is, again, why the American people just have to read the
amendment.
The amendment doesn't say anything about forcing administrative
savings. It says we are going to administratively cut. It doesn't
suggest how savings are going to be found.
Again, it is important to get that $5 million for this program, but
for heaven's sake, the fact of the matter is we have to make priority
decisions. I would offer that cutting the administration for Medicare,
when we take 13,000 people into the program every day, is not the
proper offset for this.
Parliamentary Inquiries
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, parliamentary inquiry.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman will state his parliamentary inquiry.
Mr. HARRIS. Parliamentary inquiry, Madam Chair. Does any time remain
on that side?
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Maryland controls the only time
remaining.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, parliamentary inquiry. Does any time remain
on that side?
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Maryland has the only time
remaining.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, that is what I thought. That is what I
thought.
Madam Chair, parliamentary inquiry. So it is inappropriate for
someone to speak while I have the floor. Is that correct?
The Acting CHAIR. The Chair does not respond to hypothetical
questions.
The gentleman from Maryland is recognized.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, parliamentary inquiry. That was not a
hypothetical question. Someone was speaking while I had the floor.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Maryland has the only time
remaining and is recognized.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I move to adjourn.
The Acting CHAIR. The motion to adjourn is not available in the
Committee of the Whole.
[[Page H4625]]
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I move that the Committee rise.
Madam Chair, I will repeat my parliamentary inquiry, and I may
withdraw the motion. Is it appropriate for someone to speak while
someone else has the floor?
The Acting CHAIR. Only the person controlling the time may engage in
debate, and the gentleman from Maryland has the only time remaining and
has been recognized.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, so I assume that answer validates my point.
Madam Chair, I withdraw the motion to rise.
The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, the motion is withdrawn.
There was no objection.
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
{time} 0400
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentlewoman from Massachusetts (Ms. Pressley).
The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes
appeared to have it.
Mr. NORMAN. Madam Chair, I demand a recorded vote.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further
proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from
Massachusetts will be postponed.
Ms. DeLAURO. Madam Chair, I move that the Committee do now rise.
The motion was agreed to.
Accordingly, the Committee rose; and the Speaker pro tempore (Mr.
Levin of Michigan) having assumed the chair, Mrs. Craig, Acting Chair
of the Committee of the Whole House on the state of the Union, reported
that that Committee, having had under consideration the bill (H.R.
2740) making appropriations for the Departments of Labor, Health and
Human Services, and Education, and related agencies for the fiscal year
ending September 30, 2020, and for other purposes, had come to no
resolution thereon.
