            BIOECONOMY RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACT OF 2021

  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Ms. Underwood). Pursuant to clause 1(c) of 
rule XIX, further consideration of the bill (H.R. 4521) to provide for 
a coordinated Federal research initiative to ensure continued United 
States leadership in engineering biology will now resume.
  The Clerk read the title of the bill.


                Amendment No. 239 Offered by Mrs. Steel

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 
239 printed in part D of House Report 117-241.
  Mrs. STEEL. Madam Speaker, I have an amendment at the desk.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       Page 1341, after line 19, add the following:
       (10) the United States should seek to require the Chinese 
     Communist Party to match emission cutting targets established 
     by the United States.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 900, the 
gentlewoman from California (Mrs. Steel) and a Member opposed each will 
control 5 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from California.
  Mrs. STEEL. Madam Speaker, I yield myself 2 minutes.
  China has avoided accountability for their unfair trade practices, 
gross human rights violations, and environmental abuse for too long.
  My amendment would require the Chinese Communist Party to match 
emission-cutting targets established by the United States.
  China accounts for 28 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, 
more than any other country in the world. This amendment takes 
necessary steps to hold China accountable for their pollution. It is 
time they are held to the same standards as any other developed 
country. They shouldn't get a free pass. We cannot allow China to walk 
all over us.
  I also want to address what was said by my colleagues on the other 
side of the aisle about criticism of this bill.
  Two days ago, Democrats suggested that criticism of this legislation 
is ``Asian bashing'' and ``xenophobic.'' What nonsense.
  Let me be clear: I will never back down from calling out the CCP on 
their transparency and to be responsible. We should all be on the side 
of free speech, democracy, and human rights.
  Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. CASTRO of Texas. Madam Speaker, I rise to oppose Representative 
Steel's amendment.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes.
  Mr. CASTRO of Texas. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may 
consume.
  Representative Steel and I share a lot of the same concerns about 
China,

[[Page H952]]

in fact: its human rights record; unfair competition; its aggression in 
the South China Sea, for example; its troublesome Belt and Road 
Initiative. However, this amendment misstates how global climate 
negotiations work.
  The United Nations climate negotiations are designed to have 
countries submit their own nationally determined climate mitigation 
goals. They are designed this way to ensure that no one can tell 
America what our climate policies should be. I would think that my 
Republican colleagues would understand and support that.
  We should be doing everything we can to pressure each country, 
particularly China, which is the world's largest emitter of greenhouse 
gasses, as the Representative mentioned, to upgrade its commitments and 
commit to more ambitious nationally determined contributions.
  The Biden administration and the Special Presidential Envoy for 
Climate, Secretary John Kerry, have been clear that the People's 
Republic of China must make stronger commitments to cutting its carbon 
emissions.
  The Government of China has said that they are targeting carbon 
neutrality before 2060. Well, that is clearly too late. The world needs 
to reach net zero by 2050 at the latest.
  I completely agree that the United States must put pressure on China 
to reach net zero at a faster pace, but arbitrarily tying it to our 
timeline isn't the way to do that.
  Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mrs. STEEL. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from 
Iowa (Mrs. Miller-Meeks).
  Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS. Madam Speaker, I thank my good friend, 
Congresswoman Steel, for offering her commonsense amendment.
  China is the world's leading producer of carbon emissions. For years, 
China has been one of the largest emitters of carbon dioxide in the 
world. In 2019, China emitted 10.1 billion metric tons of carbon 
dioxide, almost twice as much as the U.S., representing nearly 28 
percent of global emissions.
  For years, the U.S. has set ambitious goals to cut down our carbon 
emissions. Meanwhile, China stated their annual CO2 
emissions are expected to continue to grow and will not peak until 
2030.
  The Steel amendment would make it the official policy of the U.S. to 
require the Chinese Communist Party to match emission-cutting standards 
established by the U.S. This amendment is so simple and easy to 
support, I cannot think of a reason it would be opposed.
  The Chinese Communist Party has shown us countless times that we 
cannot trust them on their word alone. We need formal commitments from 
Beijing, and action must be taken.
  Mr. CASTRO of Texas. Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mrs. STEEL. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Ohio (Mr. Balderson).
  Mr. BALDERSON. Madam Speaker, I rise in support of the amendment 
offered by Representative Steel.
  This amendment is simple. It demands that China, the world's worst 
producer of greenhouse gas emissions, meets the same emissions 
standards that are imposed on the United States.
  CO2 emissions in the United States have steadily declined 
since 2010 and drastically decreased during the pandemic. In 2020, 
China somehow managed to increase their emissions. Meanwhile, nearly 
every other country reduced theirs.
  If my colleagues on the other side of the aisle want to be serious 
about the climate, let's start by creating a level playing field for 
U.S. businesses to compete and require the world's largest polluter, 
China, to step up to the plate.
  Mr. CASTRO of Texas. Madam Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my 
time.
  Again, we agree that the United States should do everything possible 
to put pressure on China to reduce emissions and to combat climate 
change. However, this is a bad way to do it.
  We can treat the climate challenge as an opportunity for America to 
shine, to rise to the occasion and show the world that they can rely on 
us, and that includes pressuring other nations to also combat climate 
change.

  Whether my colleagues across the aisle acknowledge it or not, the 
world is transitioning to renewable energy and electric vehicles.
  The choice we face is whether our Nation leads in this century as we 
did in the last, or whether we allow others to lead instead.
  My home State of Texas recognizes this. We may be the fossil fuel 
capital of the United States, and have been for a long time, but we are 
also the wind energy capital of the United States.
  The task ahead of us is to pressure and verify to ensure China meets 
its goals. We need to do that bilaterally, and we need to hold China 
accountable in multilateral forums. This amendment only distracts from 
that important task, and I urge my colleagues to oppose it.
  Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mrs. STEEL. Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this 
legislation. If the Federal Government is going to establish these 
standards, they cannot allow the CCP to ignore all their 
responsibilities.
  Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 900, the 
previous question is ordered on the amendment offered by the 
gentlewoman from California (Mrs. Steel).
  The question is on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from 
California (Mrs. Steel).
  The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that 
the noes appeared to have it.
  Mrs. STEEL. Madam Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3(s) of House Resolution 
8, the yeas and nays are ordered.
  Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, further proceedings on this question 
are postponed.

     eligible job training programs (referred to as a `job 
     training Federal Pell Grant'). Each eligible job training 
     Federal Pell Grant awarded under this subsection shall have 
     the same terms and conditions, and be awarded in the same 
     manner, as other Federal Pell Grants awarded under subsection 
     (b), except a student who is eligible to receive a job 
     training Federal Pell Grant under this subsection is a 
     student who--

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 900, 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 Speaker, I yield myself such time as I 
may consume.
  I would like to begin by thanking Chair Eddie Bernice Johnson for her 
leadership on H.R. 4521, the America COMPETES Act, and the many chairs 
across the House for their work to bring this bill to the floor.
  Our economy is only as strong as the next generation of American 
workers. The key to ensuring that our young people transition 
seamlessly into good-paying careers is to make sure that high-quality 
education and job training is affordable and accessible to all.
  It is also important that students have access to important 
information about programs or institutions they may want to attend to 
ensure they can make smart, informed decisions after high school.
  That is why I am proud to offer an amendment to the America COMPETES 
Act with my colleagues Anthony Gonzalez and Raja Krishnamoorthi.
  The first part of this amendment is modeled after my Jumpstart Our 
Businesses by Supporting Students Act, or the JOBS Act, with Senators 
Kaine and Portman and Congressman Gonzalez, to expand Pell grant 
eligibility to certain high-quality, short-term programs that can 
launch graduates into successful careers while also giving them paths 
to 2- and 4-year degrees.
  This amendment also includes the College Transparency Act led by 
Congressman Krishnamoorthi, which establishes a secure, privacy-
protected postsecondary data system to collect and report student 
outcomes.
  Both these initiatives are critical as we seek to rebuild the middle 
class and ensure workers have the skills needed to pursue in-demand, 
good-paying jobs.
  I close by urging my colleagues to join me in supporting this 
amendment, and I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. FOXX. Madam Speaker, I rise in opposition to the amendment.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman from North Carolina is 
recognized for 5 minutes.
  Ms. FOXX. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Members on both sides of the aisle want more transparency and 
accountability in postsecondary education, but that is not what this 
amendment accomplishes.
  This amendment is a Trojan horse for violating privacy rights of 
students through colleges and universities.
  Many of my colleagues who support this amendment are not completely 
informed or have not thought through the implications of some of its 
provisions.
  This amendment would direct the Federal Government to create a data 
system that tracks every college student in America through their adult 
lives without their consent and without giving them the ability to opt 
out.
  This sounds more like a scheme the Chinese Communist Party would 
manufacture than a bipartisan amendment to a bill meant to combat 
Chinese influence.

                              {time}  0930

  Don't be fooled. This amendment might use words like ``security,'' 
but in reality, it puts the privacy of Americans at risk.
  Some of these Federal agencies have already been hacked by Russian 
intelligence and fraudsters. Who is to say it won't happen again?
  I don't trust foxes in my henhouse, and I surely don't trust 
Washington bureaucrats with a database of the personal and private 
information of my children and grandchildren, or yours.
  And what will the Biden administration do with the tax records, 
Social Security information, and the private data of Americans? The 
answer is simply, exert more control.
  This amendment isn't about transparency or accountability, but about 
giving Washington bureaucrats the ability to choose winners and losers 
among institutions of postsecondary education. For example, the Pell 
grant provisions herd Americans looking for alternative career pathways 
into the same colleges and universities that failed them in the first 
place while blocking them from pursuing programs offered by career-
focused schools simply based on their tax status--even if these 
institutions can meet the 11 pages of arbitrary and prescriptive 
guardrails the amendment puts in place.
  This amendment does nothing to improve our broken system of 
postsecondary education. Instead, it exacerbates our skills gap and 
labor shortage and forces Americans to concede their privacy to an 
administration that looks more and more like the authoritarian regime 
we are supposedly trying to combat.
  Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. LEVIN of Michigan. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the 
gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Scott), the chairman of the House 
Committee on Education and Labor.
  Mr. SCOTT of Virginia. Madam Speaker, this amendment would 
significantly strengthen how the America COMPETES Act will work by 
improving access to affordable high-quality higher education.
  First, the amendment includes the JOBS Act, which expands how 
individuals can use the Pell grant, using the short-term programs 
enabling them to get good jobs quickly and retrain for better paying 
jobs while we recover from the pandemic.
  It also includes the College Transparency Act, which has helped the 
Department of Education address longstanding racial and socioeconomic 
inequities in higher education and track the quality of programs. 
Importantly, the amendment ensures that we continue to protect the 
privacy of students' personal information.
  These proposals have strong bipartisan support, and I urge my 
colleagues to support this amendment and the underlying legislation.
  Ms. FOXX. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Pennsylvania (Mr. Keller).
  Mr. KELLER. Madam Speaker, I thank Ranking Member Foxx for yielding.
  Madam Speaker, I rise in opposition to amendment No. 260 which 
excludes certain educational institutions from participating in Federal 
Pell Grant Programs. It is absurd to prevent students from seeking an 
education, a quality education from the institution of their choice 
simply because that institution pays taxes. Get that. They pay taxes 
and people can't go to college there.
  Meaningful education reform must establish a level playing field and 
give students more choice in how financial aid is used. A 4-year degree 
from a public college is not for everyone. The question to closing the 
skills gap and solving the labor shortage is rewarding institutions 
that demonstrate success and allow students to determine their own 
futures.
  Instead of limiting their choices, my legislation, the CHOICE Act, 
would allow students in short-term occupational programs to utilize 
financial aid

[[Page H959]]

for workforce readiness programs, which are needed now more than ever.
  Madam Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman for yielding, and I urge my 
colleagues to oppose amendment No. 260.
  Mr. LEVIN of Michigan. Madam Speaker, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the 
gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Gonzalez), my partner.
  Mr. GONZALEZ of Ohio. Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of our 
bipartisan amendment that includes both the JOBS Act and the College 
Transparency Act.
  Since I first ran for Congress, the number one issue that I hear in 
my district from employers is the lack of good quality candidates for 
good-paying jobs. From those days, I set out to try to find a way to 
close this skills gap and provide more opportunities for our local 
businesses and workforce. The JOBS Act does just that.
  The JOBS Act expands Pell grant eligibility to qualified short-term 
programs in high-demand jobs. This will help Americans access these 
programs and learn critical skills that lead to these good-paying jobs. 
This will be a collaborative process with our States working with local 
employers and community colleges to make sure that only quality 
programs that lead to wage increases qualify to make sure that 
Americans can find jobs after completion of these programs.
  On my way in this morning, I was actually speaking to an employer in 
my district, and I ran through the bill with him. And I said, what do 
you think of this? Would this help you? And his immediate response was, 
I have over 15 truck drivers that I am trying to hire, and I can't find 
anybody.
  These are the types of programs that the JOBS Act will enable. This 
is why I think it is a commonsense--and I am thrilled to say--
bipartisan component of the bill, and I hope that everybody will 
consider supporting it.
  Ms. FOXX. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from 
Illinois (Mrs. Miller).
  Mrs. MILLER of Illinois. Madam Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman for 
yielding.
  In a bill that professes to push back on the influence of China's 
authoritarian regime, this amendment runs the risk of putting the 
personal information of every one of America's college students in the 
hands of the Chinese Communist Party.

  It will allow the Biden administration to create a Federal database 
that will track every single student pursuing a postsecondary degree 
without their consent or any ability to opt out, even if they don't 
accept Federal aid. The Biden administration will also be able to use 
this data to match with other databases across the Federal Government 
with few limits on what can be tracked and gathered.
  While the bill claims the data will be secure, once the data comes 
from the Federal Government, there are no guarantees information will 
not fall into the hands of criminals or our adversaries.
  Madam Speaker, I urge a ``no'' vote on this Federal database 
amendment.
  Mr. LEVIN of Michigan. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the 
gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Krishnamoorthi).
  Mr. KRISHNAMOORTHI. Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of 
amendment 260 and in support of the America COMPETES Act.
  My amendment 260 contains the bipartisan College Transparency Act, 
which creates an extremely secure privacy-protected system to finally 
allow students to shop for college and other postsecondary educational 
opportunities, like community college and trade and technical schools.
  Today, unfortunately, the system is shrouded in darkness. There is no 
transparency and people can't shop. When students have access to 
transparent data, they can shop and make informed decisions, avoiding 
excess debt and realizing their full potential.
  My colleague and dear friend, Dr. Foxx, says that this data will be 
tracked for adults through a person's lifetime. That is wrong. She also 
says that the Biden administration is going to treat this data like the 
Chinese Communist Party. That is wrong.
  Madam Speaker, the choice is clear. Either choose transparency and 
allow parents and families to finally shop for college or keep the 
status quo, which nobody likes.
  Madam Speaker, this bill is supported by everyone from the American 
Federation of Teachers to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and I urge its 
support.
  Mr. LEVIN of Michigan. Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my 
time.
  Ms. FOXX. Madam Speaker, giving this same administration that 
weaponized the Federal Government against concerned parents the power 
to collect sensitive information about all college students, whether 
they accept financial aid or not is unacceptable.
  I am not surprised that Democrats are trying to use this amendment to 
overhaul postsecondary education without holding a single legislative 
hearing or markup. Democrats have a track record of bypassing the 
legislative process when it suits their ends. We must resist the 
Democrats' egregious power grab.
  Madam Speaker, this is a moral issue. I strongly encourage my 
colleagues to vote ``no'' on the Levin amendment, and I yield back the 
balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 900, the 
previous question is ordered on the amendment offered by the gentleman 
from Michigan (Mr. Levin).
  The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from 
Michigan (Mr. Levin).
  The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that 
the ayes appeared to have it.
  Ms. FOXX. Madam Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3(s) of House Resolution 
8, the yeas and nays are ordered.
