   PROVIDING FOR CONSIDERATION OF THE SENATE AMENDMENT TO H.R. 3401, 
 EMERGENCY SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATIONS FOR HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE AND 
               SECURITY AT THE SOUTHERN BORDER ACT, 2019

  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, by direction of the Committee on Rules, I 
call up House Resolution 466 and ask for its immediate consideration.
  The Clerk read the resolution, as follows:

                              H. Res. 466

       Resolved, That upon adoption of this resolution it shall be 
     in order to take from the Speaker's table the bill (H.R. 
     3401) making emergency supplemental appropriations for the 
     fiscal year ending September 30, 2019, and for other 
     purposes, with the Senate amendment thereto, and to consider 
     in the House, without intervention of any point of order, a 
     motion offered by the chair of the Committee on 
     Appropriations or her designee that the House concur in the 
     Senate amendment with an amendment consisting of the text of 
     Rules Committee Print 116-21. The Senate amendment and the 
     motion shall be

[[Page H5242]]

     considered as read. The motion shall be debatable for one 
     hour equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking 
     minority member of the Committee on Appropriations. The 
     previous question shall be considered as ordered on the 
     motion to its adoption without intervening motion.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Massachusetts is 
recognized for 1 hour.
  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, for the purpose of debate only, I yield 
the customary 30 minutes to the gentleman from Oklahoma (Mr. Cole), 
pending which I yield myself such time as I may consume. During 
consideration of this resolution, all time yielded is for the purpose 
of debate only.


                             General Leave

  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members 
may have 5 legislative days in which to revise and extend their 
remarks.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Massachusetts?
  There was no objection.
  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, we had a robust debate here today 
surrounding the tragedy that is unfolding on our southern border where 
children are being ripped from their families; forced to sleep on cold 
concrete floors; denied soap, medicine, diapers--I could go on and on 
and on--all because of the President's failed policies.
  That is what many of us believe, and that is what most national and 
international human rights organizations have also made clear.
  Quite frankly, this should shake all of us to our core. I, for one, 
am very disappointed, and I will never forget the images and the 
stories. I will continue to fight for a better outcome and fight for 
these kids.
  Having said all of that, it has been decided that we should move 
forward, so we are amending this rule so we can take up the Senate-
passed bill.
  Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. COLE. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  I want to begin by thanking my friend. I think this is a wise 
decision. I know it was a difficult decision, but I think it is the 
right thing because I know we have a common objective here.
  We know we need resources at the border right away. We know, by the 
action my friend is taking, we now have the possibility of making that 
happen and doing it in a very bipartisan way; that is, taking a bill 
that passed the Senate 87-8, moving it here with a very substantial 
bipartisan majority, and, frankly, getting resources to exactly where I 
know my friend and his colleagues want them to go, which is to help 
folks at the border deal with this ever-mounting crisis.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge that we accept the amendment. I thank my friend. 
I thank our friends on the other side for making what I know is a tough 
but, I think, a very wise decision. I think the country will be better 
off for it.
  I appreciate the fact that we will pass this legislation in a 
bipartisan manner. As the Senate did, we will here. The President will 
sign it, and the resources that we all want to arrive and help 
alleviate the difficult situation at the border will start moving 
immediately.
  Mr. Speaker, I thank my friend, and I yield back the balance of my 
time.
  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the gentleman from Oklahoma 
working with us. We have spent many hours up in the Rules Committee and 
on the floor, and I know he is committed to trying to get this issue 
right.


                   Amendment Offered by Mr. McGovern

  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I have an amendment at the desk.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the amendment.
  The Clerk read as follows:

       Strike all after the resolving clause and insert the 
     following:
       That upon adoption of this resolution it shall be in order 
     to take from the Speaker's table the bill (H.R. 3401) making 
     emergency supplemental appropriations for the fiscal year 
     ending September 30, 2019, and for other purposes, with the 
     Senate amendment thereto, and to consider in the House, 
     without intervention of any point of order, a motion offered 
     by the chair of the Committee on Appropriations or her 
     designee that the House concur in the Senate amendment. The 
     Senate amendment and the motion shall be considered as read. 
     The motion shall be debatable for one hour equally divided 
     and controlled by the chair and ranking minority member of 
     the Committee on Appropriations. The previous question shall 
     be considered as ordered on the motion to its adoption 
     without intervening motion.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Massachusetts is 
recognized.
  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time, and I 
move the previous question on the amendment and on the resolution.
  The previous question was ordered.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the amendment.
  The amendment was agreed to.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the resolution, as 
amended.
  The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that 
the ayes appeared to have it.
  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays.
  The yeas and nays were ordered.
  The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 322, 
nays 85, not voting 25, as follows:
