The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 460, the gentleman
from Illinois (Mr. Quigley) and the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Graves)
each will control 10 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Illinois.
Mr. QUIGLEY. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
Mr. Chairman, the amendments included in the en bloc were made in
order by the rule, and they have been agreed to by both sides. They
improve the bill.
I appreciate the collaborative approach that my friend from Georgia
and I were able to take in constructing this package. I am particularly
pleased to see amendments highlighting the important work being done
with the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, the CDFI fund, and
the HIDTA and Model Acts programs at the ONDCP.
Importantly, the amendment also calls attention to unfortunate delays
in placing Harriet Tubman's portrait on the $20 bill. This historic
change in American currency would represent the first African American
and the first woman featured on paper currency since Martha Washington.
Another amendment speaks to the importance of combating unwanted
robocalls intended to scam seniors. This aligns perfectly with the
committee's direction in this bill to the FCC to provide a detailed
plan to create a robocall division dedicated to holding
[[Page H5178]]
fraudsters accountable as well as ensuring timely collection of
penalties.
The package also includes an amendment that addresses growing
concerns regarding tech companies abusing the privacy of their
customers, including the collection of data from children under the age
of 13.
Finally, I couldn't agree more with the importance of including
postal delivery in rural areas. This is a priority that I also share
and hope to continue having the cooperation of the Postal Service as we
continue to rectify issues in my home district in Chicago and
throughout the country.
Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. GRAVES of Georgia. Mr. Chairman, I rise in support of this en
bloc amendment. I want to thank Mr. Quigley for working with Members
from both sides of the aisle here to pull together a combination of 15
different concepts and amendments that we have included in this one
amendment here and six of which are Republican amendments. So I
appreciate Mr. Quigley's cooperation as we work through these issues
that are important to all of us.
Mr. Chairman, I yield 5 minutes to the gentleman from Tennessee (Mr.
Kustoff), who is offering an amendment that is included in the en bloc.
Mr. KUSTOFF of Tennessee. Mr. Chairman, I want to thank my colleague
from Georgia for yielding.
Mr. Chairman, I rise today in support of my amendment to highlight
the importance of the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas program
that is known as HIDTA.
I have had a fair number of conversations with law enforcement
throughout my district in west Tennessee, and they have told me time
and time again that drug trafficking continues to be one of their main
concerns. Along Interstate 40 in Tennessee, we continue to see an
increase in drug trafficking.
I think we can all agree that the spread of illegal drugs leads to
higher crime rates which ultimately increases the financial strain on
our local, State, and Federal law enforcement.
The HIDTA program provides funding for additional equipment and man-
hours to carry out investigations required to arrest these criminals
and ultimately stop the flow of drugs.
Mr. Chairman, I know that many of my colleagues are experiencing
similar situations back home, and they understand just how serious of
an issue this is becoming for the safety and security of all Americans.
The bottom line is that our law enforcement needs the resources
offered by the HIDTA program to help keep us safe. The HIDTA program is
also a good first step to combating the opioid epidemic that is
plaguing our communities. We must be proactive now because prevention
is the best long-term solution.
Law enforcement at the local, State, and Federal level have all
expressed support for this amendment, and I urge my colleagues to do
the same today.
I also want to thank my colleague from Illinois (Mr. Foster) for
joining me on this bipartisan amendment, and I do appreciate the
support of the chairman and also the ranking member for including my
amendment.
{time} 1230
Mr. QUIGLEY. Mr. Chair, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from
Illinois (Mr. Foster).
Mr. FOSTER. Mr. Chair, FinCEN's mission is critical to our national
and economic security. It is charged with safeguarding the financial
system from illicit use and combating money laundering.
Our amendment included in this en bloc directs FinCEN and its agency
partners to make proactive efforts to identify and oversee one
particular space, and that is cryptocurrency exchanges, wallets, and
so-called cryptomixers that try to hide the source of cryptocurrency
that is getting transmitted.
FinCEN regulates exchanges and money-services businesses that deal
with ordinary fiat currency. As FinCEN recognized early on, money
transmitters that deal in cryptocurrency are functionally no different,
and it only makes sense that they should also have to comply with anti-
money-laundering regulations.
That is why, since 2011, FinCEN regulations have made it clear that
these kinds of entities are subject to the Bank Secrecy Act. More needs
to be done, however.
As of October 2018, only 13 out of the top 100 crypto exchanges had
reportedly registered with FinCEN, even though most crypto funds from
illicit entities flow through these exchanges.
We need to send a message to these agencies that they cannot hide in
plain sight, that they should live up to their obligation or FinCEN and
its law enforcement partners will find them and hold them accountable.
I am a big proponent of innovation, including in the fintech space,
but no one wants to see innovative products and services being used to
support terrorism, facilitate human trafficking, or enable criminals to
carry out fraud, identity theft, ransomware, or extortion.
That is why I hope my colleagues join me in supporting this en bloc
amendment, so we can encourage FinCEN to continue its important work in
the virtual currency space. The integrity and safety of our financial
system depend on these efforts.
Mr. Chair, I urge my colleagues to support this en bloc amendment so
that we can encourage responsible innovation in financial services
while ensuring that such innovation is not undermined by criminals who
engage in money laundering, illicit financing, and a whole host of
other cyber-enabled crimes.
Mr. GRAVES of Georgia. Mr. Chair, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman
from Wisconsin (Mr. Steil), one of our newest Members, who would like
to speak on his amendment.
Mr. STEIL. Mr. Chair, I will start by thanking Chairman Quigley and
Ranking Member Graves for including this amendment in the en bloc.
I rise today to urge support for my amendment considered en bloc.
This amendment expresses congressional support for the important work
of the Financial Literacy and Education Commission, known as FLEC.
FLEC's mission is to improve financial literacy and help Americans
make good financial choices. This is an important task, especially for
at-risk groups such as minority communities, rural Americans, and other
historically disadvantaged groups. FLEC should continue to support
efforts to improve financial literacy in our communities.
As a member of the Financial Services Committee, I closely follow the
rapid transformation of the financial sector. Thanks to innovation and
smart regulatory reforms, more people now have access to mortgages,
personal and business loans, retirement products, and other financial
services. If we want all Americans to succeed and thrive in today's
growing economy, we must support efforts to provide education on how to
make smart financial decisions.
Mr. Chair, this amendment reinforces Congress' commitment to
financial literacy, especially for at-risk communities, and I urge
support for this en bloc amendment.
Mr. QUIGLEY. Mr. Chair, I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from
Massachusetts (Mrs. Trahan).
Mrs. TRAHAN. Mr. Chair, I thank the gentleman from Illinois, our
Appropriations Committee chair, as well as members of the Rules
Committee, for making this amendment in order.
I rise to offer an amendment that serves to remind the FCC that
lawmakers who oversee and fund this agency want answers.
It has been over a year since Congress directed the FCC to
investigate the sale of geolocation data by wireless carriers to third
parties. Location data has been sold through a supply chain with little
oversight, and we are seeing this information end up in the hands of
bad actors. For just a few dollars, stalkers and predatory abusers can
buy geolocation information to prey on unsuspecting victims, a reality
that should set off alarm bells nationwide.
The FCC's delay in reporting their findings from this investigation
puts consumers' security at risk. The FCC must act to remedy its lack
of enforcement and transparency regarding this investigation.
Mr. QUIGLEY. Mr. Chair, I support the amendment, urge its adoption,
and I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. GRAVES of Georgia. Mr. Chair, again, I thank the chairman of the
subcommittee. He has done a wonderful job putting together 15 good
amendments that we can all agree on, and I yield back the balance of my
time.
[[Page H5179]]
Ms. CASTOR of Florida. Mr. Chair, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC)
has broad authority to protect consumers and is tasked specifically
with targeting fraud, deceptive advertising, robocalls, identity theft,
and online privacy.
Hardly a day goes by when personal private or financial data isn't
lost to an online data breach or theft. Americans deserve to have
greater privacy protections for what they do online. And we need an FTC
that has the tools necessary to go after bad actors and hold them
accountable.
I'd like to compliment the Appropriations Committee for providing the
FTC with a $40 million increase from FY19. FTC needs more resources to
protect our personal online data, but I remain concerned that the FTC
will still struggle to fulfill its mission and hold companies
accountable for violations of the law, data breaches and particularly
our children's online privacy. Every week there is a new report of
companies skirting the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act. When
the FTC does go after bad actors it is often too late and the penalties
are too insignificant.
On the Energy and Commerce Committee, my colleagues and I are working
to improve children's online privacy protections. Recently, as part of
that work, FTC Chairman Simons testified that a FTC $5.7 million
settlement with a company that illegally collected information on
children, in violation of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act,
was the largest civil penalty in an children's online privacy case.
Unfortunately, the penalty was too low to ensure online companies are
following the law.
The video social networking app Musical.ly, now known as TikTok,
settled very serious case where TikTok was collecting location data on
children that was discernible to people in the neighborhood. TikTok
made it very difficult for children and parents to close accounts.
TikTok made it practically impossible to complain. And TikTok would not
delete profiles after someone did close an account.
TikTok is now owned by Chinese company Bytedance, which is valued at
$75 billion. That means that the FTC's record setting fine was 0.0076
percent of Bytedance's value. No CEO is going to blink an eye at a fine
that inconsequential. Companies will just see small FTC fines as a cost
of doing business and will continue to elevate profits over privacy,
especially when it come to our kids.
The FTC also has launched a probe of You Tube for potential
violations of COPPA and a broad consensus has emerged that many other
bad actors violate the law on a regular basis.
One of the reasons for the lack of enforcement is too few resources
focused specifically on children's privacy. Currently the FTC only has
40 full time staff devoted to protecting privacy and data security for
the entire country. In comparison, the U.K. which has 1/5th the
population of the U.S. has 500 full time staff in its Information
Commissioners' office. Ireland, which has 1/65th the population of the
U.S. has 110 full time staff in its Data Protection Commissioner's
office. Something does not add up here.
My amendment encourages the FTC to take enforcement action against
companies that fail to protect children's privacy and encourages
Congress to give the FTC the resources it needs to fulfill its overall
mission.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendments en bloc offered
by the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Quigley).
The en bloc amendments were agreed to.
Amendment No. 13 Offered by Mr. Grothman
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 13
printed in part B of House Report 116-126.
Mr. GROTHMAN. Mr. Chair, I have an amendment before the desk.
The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:
At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the
following:
TITLE IX--ADDITIONAL PROVISION
Sec. 901. Each amount appropriated or otherwise made
available by this Act (including titles IV and VIII) that is
not required to be appropriated or otherwise made available
by a provision of law is hereby reduced by 3.1 percent.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 460, the gentleman
from Wisconsin (Mr. Grothman) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Wisconsin.
Mr. GROTHMAN. Mr. Chair, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
This is a series of amendments we have seen, as we go throughout the
budget process, asking for an across-the-board cut.
Right now, we are borrowing 18 or 19 percent of our budget, which is
just beyond belief. The speaker before me talked about financial
literacy. We need some financial literacy for the Congress here. My
colleagues cannot continue to put out budgets in which they are
borrowing 18, 19 percent of the money.
In the Financial Services and General Government appropriations, we
have a 5.1 percent increase. In a sane world, we would have a 5.1
percent decrease. But I know who I am dealing with, and I want my
amendment to pass, so we are only going to shave 3.1 percent off the
5.1 percent, which still leaves a mammoth 2 percent increase, not quite
as irresponsible as what the Appropriations Committee came up with.
Sometimes, we are criticized for coming up with these across-the-
board cuts, and I can understand the criticism in that it should be
more nuanced. We ought to get rid of some programs altogether, and
maybe some programs genuinely need an increase.
If we are ever going to do what's necessary around here--my
experience is, politically, people back home are willing to take a cut.
Again, this is a 2 percent increase. They are willing to take a cut if
everybody takes the cut and if they don't feel like we are targeting
their program.
So we have an amendment here with an across-the-board 3.1 percent
reduction. I think it is something that probably should pass close to
unanimously around here--we will see if it does--to leave still a 2
percent increase here.
That is my amendment, in general. There are a lot of things in this
bill that probably, constitutionally, our forefathers would be amazed
that the Federal Government was involved in at all.
Mr. Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. QUIGLEY. Mr. Chair, I rise in opposition to the amendment offered
by the gentleman from Wisconsin.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Illinois is recognized for 5
minutes.
Mr. QUIGLEY. Mr. Chair, this bill funds multiple programs that are
not only necessary to the daily operation of the Federal Government but
also have a direct impact on the lives and livelihoods of American
families, businesses, and communities.
I stand in support of the bill on the floor today, which restores
cuts proposed in the President's budget and finally invests in programs
that have been starved for funding under Republican leadership for the
past several years.
This amendment would not just cut these programs. It would do so in
an arbitrary manner, without regard to the impact on particular
programs.
In addition, this cut would take funding well below even the level
proposed in the President's budget request. Let me say that again: It
would bring the bill below the President's budget by many hundreds of
millions of dollars.
It would reduce by 3.1 percent the funding available to the SBA to
enable small businesses to access loans for working capital, fixed
assets, and other assistance to establish, operate, acquire, and expand
a small business.
It would reduce by 3.1 percent the funding available to the
Department of the Treasury to counter terrorist financing and money
laundering and to implement the expanded requirements that Congress
placed upon the Treasury to review proposed foreign investment in U.S.
businesses to ensure these transactions do not threaten our national
security.
It would reduce by 3.1 percent the funding available to the Office of
National Drug Control Policy to make grants to Federal, State, and
local entities that are on the frontline combating the opioid epidemic.
Mr. Chair, for these reasons, I strongly oppose this amendment and
urge my colleagues to do the same, and I reserve the balance of my
time.
Mr. GROTHMAN. Mr. Chair, I will point out that, at least with regard
to things like the Small Business Administration, one has to realize
that we had a booming private sector in this country before the SBA.
The idea that we need an increase here at a time when the economy is
the best it has been in my lifetime can be questioned.
Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. QUIGLEY. Mr. Chair, I urge opposition, and I yield back the
balance of my time.
[[Page H5180]]
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Grothman).
The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the noes
appeared to have it.
Mr. GROTHMAN. Mr. 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 Wisconsin
will be postponed.

The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 460, the gentleman
from Illinois (Mr. Quigley) and the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Graves)
each will control 10 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Illinois.
Mr. QUIGLEY. Mr. Chair, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
Mr. Chair, the amendments included in the en bloc were made in order
by the rule. This package includes amendments that cover a broad range
of issues across the Financial Services and General Government bill.
Mr. Chair, I support the amendment and urge its adoption, and I
reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. GRAVES of Georgia. Mr. Chair, I rise in opposition to this
amendment.
This is another en bloc amendment, and, unlike the one we spoke on
previously, this is purely a partisan amendment with really no
reflection of a bipartisan tone whatsoever. In fact, it is really
nothing more than a partisan attack on the administration and an
attempt to make their lives a little bit more difficult, which we see
every day around this place.
It would be nice if the other side would recognize that the
administration needs certain resources and needs access to those
resources in order to carry out the functions of their job, just like
we do here.
Mr. Chair, because of those reasons, I object to the amendment,
encourage a ``no'' vote, and I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. QUIGLEY. Mr. Chair, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from
Tennessee (Mr. Cohen).
Mr. COHEN. Mr. Chair, this should be bipartisan because this is
protecting America and protecting our Constitution, which we have all
sworn an oath to uphold.
This amendment will require the Trump administration to abide by the
Emoluments Clause. The Emoluments Clause to the Constitution says that
the President shouldn't be getting moneys from the Federal Government
over and beyond his salary. Yet, money spent at the Trump Hotel, at the
Trump Hotel in Ireland where they went to Doonbeg, and at the Trump
Hotel in Scotland and other places where Trump makes his journeys,
whether they are within the scope of his original overseas purpose of
going to London and D-day but diverting to Doonbeg to play golf and to
let people know about his golf course and his hotel there, charging the
government for the golf carts that the Secret Service uses, and the
rooms, drinks, and food at his hotel, et cetera.
The Washington Post reported nearly $1 million in revenue already
spent by Federal Government agencies at Trump properties.
The Constitution does not permit it. It should be bipartisan.
The gentleman says that these are attacks and that the administration
needs certain types of latitude. It needs resources.
Well, the Trump family doesn't. If this President did like every
other President and divested himself of ownership of his properties,
then we wouldn't have this problem, but he didn't do it. From day one,
they have been making money, and they have also been advertising their
product.
{time} 1245
Every time they advertise Trump properties, they are using the
government as a way to expand the President's wealth.
So I would ask that we abide by our oaths, enforce the Emoluments
Clause, and stop the Trump businesses from taking money from the
Federal Government, which they are not supposed to do.
Mr. QUIGLEY. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from
Florida (Mr. Deutch).
Mr. DEUTCH. Mr. Chair, I urge my colleagues to support this entire
[[Page H5184]]
amendment, in particular, the Jayapal-Deutch amendment to bolster the
Federal Election Commission's enforcement of prohibitions against
foreign interference in American elections.
Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats said: ``Frankly, the
United States is under attack,'' and, ``The intelligence community
continues to be concerned about the threats of upcoming U.S. elections
. . . in 2020.''
FBI Director Christopher Wray said that our adversaries are
``adapting'' and ``upping their game'' as we head into the 2020
elections.
The people charged with protecting our national security are ringing
alarm bells. That is why it is so troubling to hear President Trump say
that he would listen to a foreign power's election assistance and
maybe--maybe--call the FBI.
Well, FEC Chair Ellen Weintraub responded to the President's comments
with alarm, when she said: ``I would not have thought that I needed to
say this. . . . Let me make something 100 percent clear: It is illegal
for any person to solicit, accept, or receive anything of value from a
foreign national in connection with a U.S. election.''
It is true, she shouldn't have to say that, and Representative
Jayapal and I shouldn't have to file this amendment. It should be clear
to every American that our elections are for Americans to have a say in
their government and should be defended against foreign interference.
But, apparently, the President needs some clarity.
I urge my colleagues to support this amendment and support elections
free from foreign interference.
Mr. QUIGLEY. Mr. Chair, I strongly urge support of this amendment,
and I yield back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendments en bloc offered
by the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Quigley).
The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes
appeared to have it.
Mr. GRAVES of Georgia. Mr. Chairman, I demand a recorded vote.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further
proceedings on the amendments en bloc offered by the gentleman from
Illinois will be postponed.
Amendment No. 18 Offered by Mr. Connolly
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 18
printed in part B of House Report 116-126.
Mr. CONNOLLY. Mr. Chairman, 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 the bill (before the short title), insert the
following:
TITLE IX--ADDITIONAL PROVISION
Sec. 901. None of the funds made available by this Act may
be used by the Office of Personnel Management to implement or
carry out any furloughs or reductions in force of employees
of the Office.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 460, the gentleman
from Virginia (Mr. Connolly) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Virginia.
Mr. CONNOLLY. Mr. Chair, the Trump administration is currently
threatening Congress with the furlough of 150 employees at the Office
of Personnel Management unless we, the Congress, acquiesce to the
administration's so-called plan to abolish OPM altogether and give the
Trump White House control of governmentwide Federal employee policies.
My amendment would put an end to the administration's plan to use the
careers of 150 loyal civil servants as bargaining chips for the
proposal to abolish OPM altogether. This proposal lacks merit,
justification, or even a coherent rationale.
And you don't have to take my word for it. The Government
Accountability Office has testified that OPM's leaders ``have not
established outcome-oriented goals, developed a cost-benefit analysis
or implementation plans, and have not fully involved or communicated
their efforts with the Congress, employees, and other key
stakeholders.''
Both Republicans and Democrats have expressed similar skepticism
about this plan here in the House and in the other body.
My Republican counterpart in the Senate, Chairman James Lankford, has
said: It is hard to get to the determination of how this makes anything
better, meaning the proposal.
The Federal Government's most essential resource is its 2.6 million
employees, who comprise the most professional, nonpartisan civil
service in the world. Developing and enforcing the policies to protect
them from political interference has been the task of the independent
agency OPM.
OPM administers the largest employer-sponsored health insurance
program and processes retirement benefits for 2.5 million Federal
retirees and survivors. It vets and trains candidates for some of our
Nation's most important civil service positions. It also provides
dental, vision, and medical insurance to 8 million Federal employees
and their families. In short, Mr. Chairman, OPM is the agency that
serves the people who serve the American people.
We have watched as this administration has attempted to curtail the
independence of the civil service itself and reverse more than a
century of protected reforms implemented by professionals in the civil
service and to insulate them from political influence. Now the
administration is holding the careers of 150 civil servants hostage in
an attempt to force Congress' hand to this terrible idea. Much is at
stake, and we cannot allow civil servants to serve as bargaining chips.
On May 21, my subcommittee held a hearing that eviscerated the
administration's half-baked plan to eliminate OPM, and criticism was
bipartisan. I told Acting Director Weichert then that the plan was dead
on arrival and that she needed to start over to find a way that we
could work together on a bipartisan basis to improve this essential
agency. She said she would, and I took her at her word.
Despite clear messages and continued oversight, Ms. Weichert has
moved forward with plans that further weaken an agency in need and
failed to live up to her end of the agreement. Just last week, OPM
officials announced their intention to lay off or possibly furlough 150
employees because they could not afford to keep them on the payroll,
they said. This threat was made in spite of proposed appropriations
levels above what would be needed to fill any anticipated budget gap.
The administration's inadequate plan, if one can call it a plan, to
dismantle OPM has been a disaster. Now, after realizing they can't
prevail on the merits of their proposal, unfortunately, the
administration is resorting to blackmail. They are willing to risk the
livelihoods of 150 members of our civil service--men and women who have
dedicated their careers to serving the Federal workforce that serves
the American public--and on a plan that fails the sniff test.
I have worked with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to put
language in appropriations bills that prohibit the administration from
using Federal funding to implement any part of this reorganization
plan. I now seek to add an amendment that would prohibit OPM's
threatened furloughs or a reduction in force.
I have also filed an amendment for the Fiscal Year 2020 National
Defense Authorization Act that would require OPM to halt its
reorganization effort and consult with Congress.
On Thursday, my subcommittee will hold OPM officials accountable for
the lack of documents provided to Congress about the plan to eliminate
OPM; and, at that hearing, I intend to tell OPM that they will not
dismantle a critical Federal agency on my watch.
Mr. Chairman, I urge adoption of this amendment, and I yield back the
balance of my time.
Mr. GRAVES of Georgia. Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to the
amendment, and not in opposition to Mr. Connolly in any way. I know
that he is representing his district, his constituents, and his
interests in OPM doing their job and doing it well. But there are some
challenges.
There is no doubt OPM has made it clear they want to perform their
duties and their function, but in order to do that, they must
reorganize. They must modernize. They must update themselves as an
agency and an organization.
We are seeing that across all agencies, but this one in particular
needs some assistance.
Mr. Chairman, I will add, their current funding, where they are
today, is
[[Page H5185]]
what is driving them to this decision to make this notice that, if
things don't improve, they really don't have any other choice but to
furlough individuals. Their option is to reorganize.
But why are we in this position? It is because of the conference
committee report earlier this year. The Financial Services bill was a
part of the conference committee report. You will recall that.
Maybe the focus was more on homeland security and on border walls and
border security and other things, but this bill was a part of that. As
a result of the product that came out of this body under the new
majority, it was insufficient for OPM. Therefore, they are having to
forewarn of decisions they are going to have to make.
But we should give them credit. They are looking for an alternative,
and that is to reorganize, to change, to modernize, to update.
But do you know what, Mr. Chairman? In this bill, the underlying
bill--not this amendment--they are prohibited from protecting these
jobs. As a result of this bill, under this majority, they are
prohibited from protecting the jobs.
Now an amendment comes all the way back around the other end to say:
Wait. You can't do what you want to do to protect those jobs, and you
can't fire anybody. You can't furlough anybody. You can't reorganize.
What are they to do? What are they to do?
So I heard a really nice argument for this amendment, but I really
didn't hear a solution for OPM.
It would be nice that, if we are going to micromanage--and I think we
heard a great quote yesterday: ``Just because you can micromanage
doesn't mean you have to.'' But if we are, maybe we should provide some
guidance and some assistance.
Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. HOYER. Mr. Chairman, I move to strike the last word as the
designee of the chairman of the subcommittee.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Maryland is recognized for 5
minutes.
Mr. HOYER. Mr. Chairman, I rise in strong support of this amendment,
and I thank Mr. Connolly, who is a leader on issues of effective
government. He served as the head of government, as a matter of fact,
in Fairfax County, and is one of our experts in this area.
I want to say to my friend, Mr. Graves, the issue here for me is not
that we don't need to make OPM more efficient. I agree with his
premise. We do need to do that.
But the reorganization that is suggested in merging the Office of
Personnel Management with the General Services Administration is, in my
opinion, very bad logic. The General Services Administration deals with
real property, with inanimate objects; OPM deals with human resources.
There is no match between those two.
Making OPM an effective, efficient organization is an objective that
we ought to all share. And I know that Mr. Connolly shares that
objective, and I know that Mr. Connolly, Mr. Graves, and Mr. Quigley,
working together, could certainly effect that end, which I would
support. But I do not support what I perceive to be a retaliatory
suggestion about laying off people at OPM. In other words, if we can't
merge it, we are going to lay them off.
Frankly, if there is evidence that there are too many people and
enough people to do the job that is being done and that we can transfer
people to other agencies that might need them, that is one thing, but I
don't think that is the evidence that we see. And, clearly, there will
be sufficient funds in the budget that Mr. Quigley has offered to make
sure that we have an efficient, effective Office of Personnel
Management.
Unfortunately, Mr. Chairman, my perception is that there is a
hostility, frankly, toward the Federal workforce in this
administration. I think that is unfortunate.
Whether you think government ought to be small or large, you ought to
agree on the fact that, whatever size it is, we ought to have an
effective human resource agency so that the morale of our employees and
the competency of our employees, the work ethic of our employees, the
benefits administration for our employees is all done in an effective,
efficient manner.
So I would hope that we would make sure that we don't get into this
retaliatory political response rather than a substantive response. I
think that is what Mr. Connolly's amendment is about.
I thank Mr. Graves for his comments, but I would urge my colleagues
to vote ``yes'' on the Connolly amendment.
Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. GRAVES of Georgia. Mr. Chairman, I appreciate the leader's
comments. He is an observant Member, been here for many years. He has
seen how government operates. And, quite frankly, there have not been
too many examples of the consolidation of government agencies.
But in a time of technology and advancements and modernization, I
think government could merge some things together, could find some
synergies, could save some dollars; and in this economy that we are
experiencing today, what better time to do that?
The unemployment rate is at the lowest it has been in 51 years.
Allowing others to experience that opportunity of growth and wealth
throughout the economy and additional job opportunities, take their
skills somewhere else, that is great.
But that is not really what OPM wants to do. They are being forced to
do that because of last year's--or earlier this year, the inadequacy of
a funding bill that put them in this position. It was the first big
test of this new majority, and, unfortunately, it put these agencies in
a tough spot.
{time} 1300
The only choice is to come up with other ideas and solutions, and
that is, maybe we have to reorganize, maybe we have to modernize, but
certainly we have to analyze how we can serve the American people
better. In some cases, that might mean we can be leaner, more
efficient, and more effective, and that might mean merging different
agencies together and creating some new synergies.
Mr. Chair, with that, I will oppose the amendment and ask others to
do the same. I yield back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Connolly).
The amendment was agreed to.
Amendment No. 19 Offered by Mr. Banks
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 19
printed in part B of House Report 116-126.
Mr. BANKS. Mr. Chairman, 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 the bill (before the short title), insert the
following:
TITLE IX--ADDITIONAL PROVISION
Sec. 901. Each amount appropriated or otherwise made
available by this Act (including titles IV and VIII), except
those amounts made available to the Department of Defense,
that is not required to be appropriated or otherwise made
available by a provision of law is hereby reduced by 14
percent.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 460, the gentleman
from Indiana (Mr. Banks) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Indiana.
Mr. BANKS. Mr. Chairman, here we are again debating another spending
package that does absolutely nothing to address our $22 trillion
national debt.
The bill before us today proposes to spend $24.5 billion, which is
more than $1.4 billion over last year's total. This puts us further
down a path toward busting the budget caps.
Mr. Chair, I respect my colleagues on the other side of the aisle,
but I sincerely worry that they do not understand the dangers that lay
ahead with these bloated spending packages.
Here is a glimpse. Our children will face a less prosperous future
and our national security will be needlessly threatened through the
inevitable sequestration that results from busting the budget caps.
My amendment is simple. It would reduce nondefense spending in this
bill by 14 percent, which is the level needed to avoid the outcome that
I just described.
There is no reason that Washington can't do what American families do
[[Page H5186]]
each and every day, which is living within their budget.
Mr. Chair, I urge my colleagues to support this commonsense
amendment, and I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. QUIGLEY. Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to the amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Illinois is recognized for 5
minutes.
Mr. QUIGLEY. Mr. Chair, I always like being lectured on how I don't
understand the debt and deficit.
As one of, I think, 38 Members of this House to vote for Cooper-
LaTourette, I understand those concerns, but any attempts to be serious
about our debt and deficit must include a big, balanced, and bipartisan
effort to address those matters, not going after one of the 12 smaller
spending bills and saying, See. There, we did it.
It would have to include appropriate revenues. It would have to
include addressing all elements of this government, including the
sacred cow of the defense budget. If you are going to address our
Nation's debt and deficit, you have to look at the government as a
whole.
This is a similar measure to the amendment offered by the gentleman
from Wisconsin, only it is more destructive to the cuts it proposes to
make across the board.
I will not repeat the same talking points that I previously stated
regarding the harm that such indiscriminate cuts would have on American
families, businesses, and communities. I would just note this amendment
proposes to cut more than $2 billion from this bill. This reduction
would bring the bill below the funding level provided in fiscal year
2012 under a Republican-controlled Congress.
Mr. Chair, this amendment is harmful. I urge my colleagues to oppose
it.
Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. BANKS. Mr. Chairman, a few billion dollars here, a few billion
dollars there, $25 billion over there, eventually it adds up. That is
why the American people are demanding now more than ever for their
Nation's leaders to do something about a $22-trillion-and-growing
national debt.
Mr. Chairman, we are running out of time to put our fiscal house in
order. Deficits will soon top $1 trillion and grow to nearly $2
trillion over the next decades.
My constituents back home in northeast Indiana see this reckless
spending and ever-growing national debt and they ask me every time I go
home, Are you serious?
It is a valid question, Mr. Chairman, and I honestly don't know what
to tell them, when we have spending bills like the one before us that
spends more than ever before on this particular division, just like the
other seven divisions that we voted on previously.
I have offered this amendment now seven other times in addition to
today in an attempt to prevent sequestration and the devastating
effects it will have on our Nation's military. Our national security is
dependent upon the state of our fiscal house, and unfortunately, these
spending bills do nothing to protect the security and prosperity of our
Nation.
Mr. Chair, I urge my colleagues to support my amendment to cut 14
percent of nondefense spending in this bill, to rein in out-of-control
spending.
Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. QUIGLEY. Mr. Chairman, I know what to tell the people of Indiana:
the same thing I tell the people of Illinois. I know what to tell my
constituents about this matter. I am from Indiana. I tell them that I
am serious about this and that I am willing to work with everyone on
the floor and in both chambers and the President of the United States.
But any serious measure dealing with such matters as the deficit and
the debt, must be, again, much bigger than this, much more balanced
than this, and much more bipartisan than this, and it must recognize
that it involves revenues and cuts, reforms, restructuring, and, of
course, the Department of Defense.
Mr. Chair, any time anyone over there wants to address these matters
in a serious way, I am more than willing to listen. As for this matter,
though, I strongly oppose it and urge my colleagues to do the same.
Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Banks).
The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes
appeared to have it.
Mr. QUIGLEY. Mr. 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 Indiana will
be postponed.
Amendment No. 26 Offered by Mr. Suozzi
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 26
printed in part B of House Report 116-126.
Mr. SUOZZI. Mr. Chairman, 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 2, line 22, after the dollar amount, insert ``(reduced
by $1,000,000)''.
Page 101, line 13, after the dollar amount, insert
``(increased by $1,000,000)''.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 460, the gentleman
from New York (Mr. Suozzi) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from New York.
Mr. SUOZZI. Mr. Chairman, there is bipartisan agreement in this House
that there is no greater obligation in our Nation than to our Nation's
veterans.
I have an amendment before us that increases funding from the Small
Business Administration's Entrepreneurial Development Programs,
specifically for the Veterans Business Outreach Centers.
These centers provide a wide range of services to our veterans,
including training and counseling. They also provide transitioning
service members with a large network of successful business advisers
and veteran businessowners.
There are over 800,000 veterans in my State. These veterans bring a
wealth of skills and experience that make them uniquely suited to be
successful small business owners. They have sacrificed a great deal for
our Nation, and it is our responsibility to support them as they
transition to the next stage of their lives and careers.
Veterans Business Outreach Centers support an aspiring small business
owner through every step of the process. They organize workshops that
walk veterans through the key considerations of starting a small
business. They also help clients set up business plans to help
strategic, legal, and financial requirements.
Mr. Chairman, according to the SBA, there are over 2.5 million
businesses in the United States that are majority owned by veterans.
These businesses employ over 5 million people and generate annual
revenues of over $1 trillion.
In the State of New York alone, there are over 137,000 businesses
owned by veterans that create jobs and support our communities.
In the State of New York, we have the Arsenal Business and Technology
Partnership located in upstate New York that provides support to
veterans and their spouses throughout not only our State of New York,
but New Jersey and Puerto Rico, that are all looking to start and
expand or purchase a business. These services are offered both in
person and online and are available at no cost to veterans.
The SBA's Veterans Business Outreach Centers represent an outstanding
opportunity to invest in our communities while also supporting the
returning service members who have sacrificed for our Nation.
Mr. Chair, I strongly urge the passage of my amendment, and 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. Suozzi).
The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes
appeared to have it.
Mr. SUOZZI. Mr. Chairman, 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. 27 Offered by Mrs. Lee of Nevada
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 27
printed in part B of House Report 116-126.
[[Page H5187]]
Mrs. LEE of Nevada. Mr. Chairman, I would like to present an
amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:
Page 39, line 3, after the dollar amount, insert
``(increased by $1,000,000)''.
Page 39, line 4, after the dollar amount, insert
``(increased by $1,000,000)''.
Page 77, line 16, after the dollar amount, insert
``(reduced by $1,000,000)''.
Page 79, line 24, after the dollar amount, insert
``(reduced by $1,000,000)''.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 460, 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. Mr. Chairman, I thank my Nevada colleague,
Congressman Amodei, for his support on this bipartisan amendment.
Mr. Chairman, our amendment would provide increased funds for the
Drug-Free Communities Support Program.
The opioid epidemic is hurting every corner of this country, and
southern Nevada is no exception. We need to invest in local, community-
based solutions to help people struggling with opioid abuse.
Unfortunately, local governments often have the fewest drug
prevention resources and funds, even though it is the local communities
on the front lines of this crisis.
In every State and congressional district, every day of the year,
there are first responders and paramedics treating overdoses and abuse.
Our bipartisan amendment will directly invest in local community
efforts to combat opioid abuse in Nevada and throughout this country.
Mr. Chair, I urge all my colleagues to support this bipartisan
amendment, and 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
appeared to have it.
Mr. QUIGLEY. Mr. Chairman, 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 Nevada
will be postponed.
Mr. GRAVES of Georgia. Mr. Chairman, as the designee of the
gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. Granger), I move to strike the last word.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes.
Mr. GRAVES of Georgia. Mr. Chair, I yield to the gentleman from
Michigan (Mr. Walberg).
Mr. WALBERG. Mr. Chairman, I thank the gentleman for yielding.
Mr. Chair, I appreciate the fact here of striking the last word. I
rise in opposition to amendment 36, which was en bloc.
Despite the description of this amendment, it would actually reduce
broadband competition, if adopted, with tremendous negatives for my
district and many others.
It also frustrates broadband deployment, an important thing right
now.
By requiring network sharing in multi-tenant buildings, there is less
of an incentive for network operators to build out or make upgrades to
their networks.
More importantly, nothing in the FCC's order that is the subject of
this amendment would prevent State and local efforts from increasing
access to multi-tenant environments. Rather, the Commission would
clarify that those efforts should be consistent with Federal policy.
This amendment also raises safety concerns. Technicians from varying
broadband providers would be required to service the same facilities in
a shared setting, and this could lead to unknown or unsafe environments
for these workers.
This amendment could also disincentivize build-out.
This amendment would prevent the preemption of an outlier San
Francisco ordinance which requires the sharing of in-use wiring in
apartment complexes, office buildings, and other similar buildings
between providers.
{time} 1315
For years, the FCC has been promoting facility-based competition to
bring broadband to unserved Americans. Meanwhile, the Commission has
forborne from the vast majority of the legacy competitive carrier
provisions of the Communications Act because they did not work. We
shouldn't be trying to re-create them on a local level.
Mr. GRAVES of Georgia. Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my
time.
Amendment No. 32 Offered by Ms. Dean
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 32
printed in part B of House Report 116-126.
Ms. DEAN. Mr. Chairman, 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 11, line 17, after the dollar amount, insert
``(increased by $2,000,000)''.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 460, the gentlewoman
from Pennsylvania (Ms. Dean) and a Member opposed each will control 5

The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Pennsylvania.
Ms. DEAN. Mr. Chair, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
This amendment would increase the amount of funds dedicated to
financial and technical assistance for the people with disabilities
through community development financial institutions, or CDFIs.
People with disabilities and their families face a range of financial
challenges that often go unappreciated. In particular, they encounter
barriers, accessing traditional financial services, accumulating
wealth, and obtaining financing to buy a home, pay for an education,
start a business, or buy an accessible vehicle.
Just this morning, I met with my friend and constituent Peter and his
family. Peter has a disability and has all kinds of important
aspirations for himself.
People with disabilities also face obstacles participating in the
workforce. On average, they earn less than those without disabilities.
At the same time, people with disabilities face higher debt-to-income
ratios and greater expenses, and they are more likely to be unbanked or
underbanked.
The institutions that serve people with disabilities face similar
challenges, including barriers to the capital they need to build and
renovate affordable housing, community facilities, and work spaces. The
consequences are direct and dire.
According to the National Disability Institute, roughly one in three
Americans with a disability lives in poverty, more than twice the
average rate. And because many people with disabilities depend on
government benefits, they are often unable to save or accumulate
assets.
This situation should trouble us all.
Thankfully, we have institutions that are well positioned to address
these challenges. CDFIs serve low-income populations, including people
with disabilities by providing access to affordable financial products
and services. CDFIs are certified by the Department of the Treasury,
and they have an impressive record of success.
Increasing the amount of funds dedicated to financial and technical
assistance for people with disabilities that CDFIs can be awarded would
enable them to more effectively address housing, transportation,
education, and the rest. Crucially, that includes low-interest loans
that enable individuals with disabilities to meet their own specific
needs.
To be specific, the need for this funding is great. According to the
National Disability Coalition, 33 CDFIs requested more than $15 million
in the inaugural round of applications, that is for fiscal years 2017
and 2018. In that 2-year round, more than $5 million was awarded. My
amendment would increase the total funds dedicated to these awards to
$6 million, annually, up from the current $3 million.
We know these programs work. In my home State of Pennsylvania, the
Pennsylvania Assistive Technology Foundation has helped 310
Pennsylvanians with disabilities purchase assistive technology,
including hearing aids, tablets, vehicles, roll-in showers, and much
more.
Through access to capital, individuals with disabilities are able to
make purchases that concretely change their lives. For many, CDFIs are
the only way to obtain a loan, a loan that will
[[Page H5188]]
allow them to live their life the way they choose. That is why we
should be striving for a more inclusive financial system that helps
everyone flourish, one that works for the benefit of all.
In closing, I ask for this important, small increase that will make
big differences in the lives of not only people in my State, but across
the country.
Mr. Chair, I urge all Members to support 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 Pennsylvania (Ms. Dean).
The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes

Ms. DEAN. Mr. Chair, I demand a recorded vote.

Amendment No. 35 Offered by Mr. Kim
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 35
printed in part B of House Report 116-126.
Mr. KIM. Mr. 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 100, line 17, after the first dollar amount, insert
``(reduced by $1,000,000)''.
Page 101, line 13, after the dollar amount, insert
``(increased by $1,000,000)''.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 460, the gentleman
from New Jersey (Mr. Kim) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from New Jersey.
Mr. KIM. Mr. Chair, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
My amendment today is a simple one. It provides more support for two
critical programs that have helped jump-start small businesses, create
jobs, and foster the American Dream. The Small Business
Administration's Veterans Business Outreach Centers and Small Business
Development Centers may not be household names to some, but they have
been a lifeline and resource to small business owners across our
country.
Veterans Business Outreach Centers provide counseling and training to
eligible servicemembers, veterans, and military spouses. With 22
centers nationwide, this program provides the skills aspiring
entrepreneurs need to get their ideas and businesses off the ground. At
a time in which military spouse unemployment is more than six times the
national average, these programs can help provide opportunities for
those who have served and their families.
Small Business Development Centers also provide essential services to
small business owners who fuel our economy. These centers have trained
hundreds of thousands of Americans in developing business plans and
accessing capital. These programs touch each and every one of our
districts, but let me tell why it is important to the people of
Burlington and Ocean Counties in New Jersey.
Small businesses are the backbone of the New Jersey economy.
According to the Small Business Administration, approximately half of
New Jersey's private-sector workforce is employed by a small business.
By voting for this amendment, we can empower these job creators to
continue to strengthen our economy.
By voting for this amendment, we can give back to those who have
served our country in uniform.
By voting for this amendment, we can continue to invest in our
programs that have proven to work.
I urge adoption of this commonsense amendment.
Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Kim).

Amendment No. 40 Offered by Mr. Malinowski
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 40
printed in part B of House Report 116-126.
Mr. MALINOWSKI. Mr. 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 15, line 17, after the dollar amount, insert
``(increased by $1,000,000)''.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 460, the gentleman
from New Jersey (Mr. Malinowski) and a Member opposed each will control
5 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from New Jersey.
Mr. MALINOWSKI. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may
consume.
Mr. Chairman, the amendment I have offered increases minimum funding
for the IRS' Tax Counseling for the Elderly program.
Filing taxes remains a far too complicated task in America. I am sure
we can all agree on that. This vital program provides free tax
assistance to people age 60 and older. It is particularly helpful to
filers who have questions about their pensions and retirement.
In my home State, New Jersey Citizen Action is one of the grantees
for this program. They do tremendously positive work, which will only
be enhanced with additional funding.
There are several reasons to strengthen this program:
First, older Americans are often subjected to financial exploitation
schemes. According to AARP, every year, abuse and exploitation rob
older Americans of $3 billion--and this is only the amount that is
reported. Having another set of eyes on elderly filers' finances would
help to identify the victims of these schemes and help us to combat
them.
Next, the ongoing controversy surrounding TurboTax, which manipulated
taxpayers into paying to file their returns despite being eligible to
file them for free, underscores the need for programs that help those
most vulnerable to manipulation. Relatedly, the way we file our taxes
is obviously evolving at a faster rate than many people can keep up
with, including those who have filed on paper their entire lives.
Finally, the new tax law created additional confusion for many
filers. The loss of the State and local tax deduction hurt many
taxpayers in my district, especially seniors struggling to stay in
their homes on a fixed income who were surprised not to get the refunds
they have come to count on.
So, in sum, we should do everything in our power to protect older
Americans and ensure they can file their taxes securely and with
confidence. Let's help this program help even more people next year.
Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.

Motion to Recommit
Mr. GRAVES of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I have a motion to recommit at
the desk.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is the gentleman opposed to the bill?
Mr. GRAVES of Georgia. Yes, Mr. Speaker, in its current form.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to
recommit.
The Clerk read as follows:
Mr. Graves of Georgia moves to recommit the bill H.R. 3351
to the Committee on Appropriations with instructions to
report the same back to the House forthwith with the
following amendment:
Page 5, line 2, after the first dollar amount, insert
``(increased by $10,000,000)''.
Page 77, line 16, after the dollar amount, insert
``(decreased by $10,000,000)''.
Page 79, line 24, after the dollar amount, insert
``(decreased by $10,000,000)''.
Mr. GRAVES of Georgia (during the reading). Mr. Speaker, I ask
unanimous consent to dispense with the reading of the motion.
Mr. QUIGLEY. I object.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Objection is heard.
The Clerk will continue to read.
The Clerk continued to read.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from
Georgia is recognized for 5 minutes in support of his motion.
Mr. GRAVES of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, while I don't support this
underlying bill, I thought I would take a different approach with this
MTR today.
We are heading into a long break. We are going to be separated from
one another, and I thought it would be nice if we just thanked the
other side for some of the things they have done in this bill.
First, Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my friends on the left for
including and codifying Hyde-like protections for the innocent unborn.
With this vote today, it is encouraging that our friends on the other
side of the aisle do agree--they do agree--that the lives of the
innocent unborn deserve our protection, and that is in the underlying
bill today.
I would also like to thank my friends for their strong stand against
the growing threat and spread of socialism around the world and
recognizing that democracy is the answer. That is in this bill. Thank
you, Mr. Speaker.
I am glad that we came together in favor of boosting States' rights,
standing behind the 10th Amendment for all of our States when it comes
to banking for certain small businesses. That is in this bill, Mr.
Speaker. Thank you.
Lastly, let me thank my friends on the other side for recognizing the
hard work and dedication of our Federal employees. The majority leader
has allowed the 2.6 percent cost-of-living adjustment, a pay raise, to
stay in this bill.
Yes, Mr. Speaker, that raise does extend to all Members of this
House. That took courage from the majority leader, and we want to thank
him before we leave here this week. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
That is not what the MTR is about, but we just wanted to say ``thank
you'' for a moment.
This MTR focuses on one major bipartisan issue, Mr. Speaker: keeping
us out of war and enforcing sanctions, sanctions against Iran, North
Korea, Venezuela, Russia, and others which seek to harm our Nation.
I can think of no one better that I could yield to at this moment to
discuss the importance of this MTR than a Green Beret who has served in
multiple combat missions around the world, has 20 years of service in
the U.S. Army, an American hero, our colonel of the Army, Mike Waltz
from Florida.
Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Waltz).
[[Page H5195]]
Mr. WALTZ. Mr. Speaker, this motion amends the bill by adding $10
million for the Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence,
Department of the Treasury. This office plays a key role in countering
our most critical national security threats by implementing sanctions.
As a Green Beret, I have fought in the war on terror, and I can tell
you this office is vital to the safety of our Nation and preventing
war. In light of our current threats, this office requires an
additional $10 million to accomplish its goals.
This motion will implement sanctions policy toward Russia, North
Korea, ISIS, and, particularly, the Iranian regime, the world's largest
state sponsor of terrorism.
I am personally well aware of the grave threat Iran poses to the
security of our country. I have lived it. I have dealt with the
Iranians and their proxies all over the world. They are an enemy of
this country and our ally Israel, and that does not change regardless
of whether my colleagues are Republicans or Democrats.
Mr. Speaker, no one wants war. In fact, we want to drive Iran back to
the negotiating table to prevent war. The best way to do that is to
exert maximum pressure on its economy because what the regime cares
about the most is not the Iranian people--is not the Iranian people--
but lining its own pockets.
All indications from the intelligence community are that the economic
pressure campaign is working. Iran's currency is tanking. Inflation is
on the rise. Oil exports are drying up. Most importantly, Iran is
unable to pay its terrorist proxies like Hezbollah and Hamas.
Specifically, this motion would fund sanctions on Iran's leadership,
on senior commanders of the IRGC, on front companies, and on Iran's
terrorist ally Hezbollah.
Mr. Speaker, I want to remind this body of the marines we lost in
Beirut at the hands of Iran, the 500 Americans killed by Iranian
militias in Iraq, and the American hostages held in Iran as we speak
here today, which include a U.N. worker and a Princeton Ph.D. student.
As a soldier who has had to fight terrorism, no one wants to avoid
war as much as I do. I wear a bracelet on my wrist of one of the Green
Berets I lost, and I wake up every day thinking about how this body can
be worthy of their sacrifice.
Mr. Speaker, let's support this MTR, and let's work together to avoid
another war in the Middle East.
Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. QUIGLEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to the motion to
recommit.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Illinois is recognized
for 5 minutes.
Mr. QUIGLEY. Mr. Speaker, I am going to begin by quoting an eminent
Republican from Illinois, Abraham Lincoln, because this argument and
the timing of it reminds me of what took place in Illinois some time
ago.
One morning, Abraham Lincoln argued before the Illinois Supreme
Court, and he made a point on a case. In the afternoon, arguing for
another client, he spoke in exact opposition to the point he had made
in the morning.
When one of the justices pointed this out, he said: I have had time
to reflect on that, and I changed my mind.
Mr. Speaker, we have just witnessed the same thing. How in the world
can we take their MTR seriously? Just a few moments ago, on an
amendment proposed by Mr. Banks from Indiana, they voted ``yes'' on two
amendments that would cut this account by 14 percent, a cut of $23.5
million.
Apparently, they have had time to think about it and realized,
perhaps, the error of their ways.
In addition, I would say--and I loved working with the ranking member
when he was chairman last year--he funded the same bill, as the
chairman, wrote the bill and funded it by millions less than we are
proposing today in our bill.
Apparently, time changes our minds.
I don't know where the gentleman will be 5 minutes from now or
whether his passion for this will be as strong as it was a half an hour
ago, but the underlying bill includes an increase of $8.7 million above
FY19, where my friend from Georgia proposed this.
I started with the President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. I
am going to end talking about this bill with the eminent philosopher
from London, who I saw last week in Chicago, Mick Jagger. He said: You
can't always get what you want, but if you try real hard, you get what
you need.
This bill isn't perfect, but it is a really good bill under trying
circumstances. And what do you need if you try?
We are funding the IRS up to $12 billion. We included $600 million
for election security. Rather than eliminating, as the President
proposed, Community Development Financial Institution grant programs,
we boost them by $50 million.
Instead of slashing funds for the Small Business Administration, we
are increasing those funds.
We are also boosting the ability to protect consumers and police bad
actors by providing sorely needed additional funding to the agencies
that need them.
Finally, I think the most timely, important point is, when Mr.
Mueller spoke to the American public for the first time about the
report, he said this was a systematic attack on our democratic process
by our adversary, and it has to be a bipartisan approach. This bill
does that with $600 million to protect against an assault on who we are
as a democracy.
My colleagues need to support this bill and oppose this MTR.
Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the previous question is
ordered on the motion to recommit.
There was no objection.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion to recommit.
The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that
the noes appeared to have it.
Recorded Vote
Mr. GRAVES of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I demand a recorded vote.
A recorded vote was ordered.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XX, the Chair
will reduce to 5 minutes the minimum time for any electronic vote on
the question of passage.
This is a 5-minute vote.
