ENERGY AND WATER DEVELOPMENT AND RELATED AGENCIES APPROPRIATIONS ACT,
2024
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 756 and rule
XVIII, the Chair declares the House in the Committee of the Whole House
on the state of the Union for the further consideration of the bill,
H.R. 4394.
Will the gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Fitzgerald) kindly take the
chair.
{time} 1017
In the Committee of the Whole
Accordingly, the House resolved itself into the Committee of the
Whole House on the state of the Union for the
[[Page H5111]]
further consideration of the bill (H.R. 4394) making appropriations for
energy and water development and related agencies for the fiscal year
ending September 30, 2024, and for other purposes, with Mr. Fitzgerald
(Acting Chair) in the chair.
The Clerk read the title of the bill.
The Acting CHAIR. When the Committee of the Whole rose on Wednesday,
October 25, 2023, amendment No. 35 printed in Part B of House Report
118-242 offered by the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Fallon) had been
disposed of.
Amendment No. 36 Offered by Mr. Garamendi
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 36
printed in part B of House Report 118-242.
Mr. GARAMENDI. 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:
At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the
following:
Sec. __. None of the funds made available by this Act may
be used for the Savannah River Plutonium Modernization
Program.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 756, the gentleman
from California (Mr. Garamendi) and a Member opposed each will control
5 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from California.
Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Chair, I rise today to offer a critical amendment
to pause wasteful and unnecessary spending at the Savannah River
Plutonium Processing Facility.
This is a responsible measure. It will pause the development of this
nuclear facility while we fix the cost overruns and mismanagement
associated with this.
Given the rhetoric of the Republican side of the aisle about reining
in excessive spending, this amendment should be something that we would
all agree on.
The estimated cost of the Savannah River facility tripled from $3.6
billion to nearly $11 billion since the start of the project. It will
likely continue to increase since this program is not scheduled to be
completed until 2035.
According to the August Government Accountability Office report, it
will probably be delayed even further until 2038.
Why are we spending $11 billion on this wasteful facility? You would
think it might be part of our critical national security, but that is
not the case.
For those unfamiliar with this facility, it is being built to produce
plutonium pits, which is the core of a nuclear weapon. We already have
thousands of these pits.
Some will stand up here and say, oh, my. We need to replace them
because they age out. These pits will last at least 100 years.
Some studies by independent panels of scientists and academics have
suggested that these pits have an even longer life cycle.
That is why in the House-passed fiscal year 2024 NDAA, the House
Armed Services Committee adopted my amendment for an independent
assessment of plutonium-pit aging by experts.
If we really care about responsible government spending, we must
ensure there is a need before allocating billions of dollars to rebuild
a stockpile that we already have in place and that really should never
be used.
To reiterate, this amendment is a pause on next year's spending
because we really do need to evaluate the science.
By the way, it is only $858 million, but hey, every dollar counts.
This pause is essential, timely and a prudent step.
In our haste to build new nuclear bombs, we must allocate those costs
appropriately. A January 2023 GAO report found that the National
Nuclear Security Administration lacks a comprehensive schedule or cost
estimate on what we are doing here with this particular program. The
NNSA has not even identified all of the activities or milestones to
achieve an 80 pit per year production capacity.
I am sure that some will argue, wrongly, in my view, that I am
undermining national security. They will make exaggerated claims about
the necessity to engage in a nuclear arms race.
Well, we are, but the question is, are we doing it wisely? The answer
is no. We are spending money unnecessarily and in an ill-advised way.
As a citizen, I am also aware that we face challenges here at home.
We have heard many of those. I also know that the new Speaker wants to
rein in unnecessary expenditures. I would suggest that this is one.
Mr. Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. FLEISCHMANN. Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to the amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Tennessee is recognized for 5
minutes.
Mr. FLEISCHMANN. Mr. Chairman, as we have been debating the
amendments to this energy and water bill, for some of the amendments I
have risen in strong support and strong opposition.
With all due respect to the gentleman from California, I rise in the
staunchest opposition to his amendment.
Mr. Chairman, our Nation's nuclear deterrent--and for the people at
home watching--is done through the NNSA. The NNSA is the National
Nuclear Security Administration. It is part of the Department of
Energy.
As part of that key mission and as part of this great bill, we are
fully funding and need to continue to fully fund the updates to our
weapons programs to keep our nuclear deterrent strong.
Currently, the plutonium pits are being done and made at Los Alamos.
They do an outstanding job. We are so fortunate that our great friends
at the Savannah River reservation--and I have been there, and I have
been in this facility that is being built--will work to create new
plutonium pits.
The world is a dangerous place. Vladimir Putin, with his outrageous,
wrong invasion of Ukraine must be stopped.
This man has basically threatened to use nuclear weapons. That is
intolerable rhetoric. That is intolerable conduct. The strongest way to
oppose that is to have a robust nuclear deterrent.
Our bill does that. Los Alamos does that. The NNSA does that. Thank
goodness our friends at the great Savannah River reservation have done
that for years and will continue to help our Nation's nuclear arsenal
with this facility to produce plutonium pits. The Chinese are growing
their nuclear arsenal. The world is moving in the wrong direction.
My hero, Ronald Reagan, in 1980 said, grow our nuclear deterrent, and
he did that. I can remember standing in a college class with 200
students. I was the only person to stand up to fight the nuclear
freeze.
Ronald Reagan was right. We defeated the evil empire, the Soviet
Union, because we did not do a freeze. We stood up and built up our
nuclear deterrent. We have to do that now.
Our partners at Savannah River are there. They are ready. This
facility will supplement that.
With all due respect to the gentleman from California, he is wrong on
this. America needs its nuclear deterrent. The NNSA needs to be kept
strong, and this plutonium pit production for Savannah River needs to
go forward.
Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. FLEISCHMANN. Mr. Chairman, I yield to Ms. Kaptur, my ranking
member.
Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Chairman, I thank the gentleman for yielding, and I
share the gentleman's strong passion for making sure that America has
the very best deterrent on the face of the Earth in view of what we are
facing not only in the Middle East, but obviously, as you stated, in
Ukraine and with what is happening on the high seas around the globe.
We are so proud of our nuclear Navy.
I rise in reluctant opposition to this amendment because of my dear
friendship with Congressman Garamendi, and I respect his efforts to try
to have a responsible nuclear deterrent and weapons program.
I understand that. This amendment itself would prohibit funding, as
has been stated, for the plutonium pit production at the Savannah River
processing facility.
We all know that plutonium modernization is a key aspect to meeting
our nuclear weapons stockpile requirements and maintaining the Nation's
nuclear deterrent.
[[Page H5112]]
On both sides of the aisle of our subcommittee, we have had complete
support, really, in ensuring that our country maintains a safe, secure,
and credible nuclear deterrent while also addressing the threat of
nuclear nonproliferation and terrorism.
However, on our side of the aisle, at least, we continue to be
troubled by the unsustainable spending in the Department of Energy's
weapons program.
I have to say that the concerns about the budget deficit and so forth
attend to every agency, including this one.
There have been cost overruns at a level that are historic, and I
think we have to have rigor in terms of managing whatever funds are
allocated to that important task.
I wholeheartedly agree with Chair Fleischmann that the National
Nuclear Security Administration needs to improve its program
management--I hope they are hearing us--given that more than half of
its projects are over cost or behind schedule. That is not really a
good record for something so important.
The Acting CHAIR. The time of the gentleman has expired.
Mr. FLEISCHMANN. Mr. Chairman, I rise as the designee of the
gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. Granger).
Mr. Chairman, I move to strike the last word.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Tennessee is recognized for 5
minutes.
Mr. FLEISCHMANN. Mr. Chairman, I yield to the gentlewoman from Ohio
(Ms. Kaptur), my ranking member.
{time} 1030
Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Chair, I thank the gentleman for yielding. We, as a
committee and as a Congress, have to face the realities of future
defense caps and begin making important decisions to prioritize within
those programs. Only through strategic prioritization can the program
achieve success in meeting the needs of stockpile requirements and
maintaining our Nation's critical nuclear deterrent.
Nonetheless, prohibiting all funds to one strategic investment of
plutonium modernization at the Savannah River Plutonium Processing
Facility is not the right approach at this time.
Mr. Chair, I thank all of my colleagues. In working together, we will
find the right path for America. I urge my colleagues to vote against
this amendment, and I thank Congressman Garamendi for making sure we
spend our dollars wisely.
Mr. FLEISCHMANN. Mr. Chair, I yield to the distinguished gentleman
from South Carolina (Mr. Wilson).
Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Chairman, today I rise in
opposition to this amendment by my good friend, Lieutenant Governor
John Garamendi. I am grateful to see Chairman Fleischmann working with
Ranking Member Marcy Kaptur as we oppose this amendment.
This is a time when the Chinese Communist Party is conducting the
largest nuclear buildup in world history. War criminal Putin is
invading Ukraine and threatens nuclear weapons. The dictatorship in
Tehran is invading Israel; it is developing nuclear weapons while
chanting, ``Death to Israel, Death to America.'' In defense, we should
be modernizing America's nuclear arsenal.
We did not choose the war of dictators with the rule of gun who are
invading democracies with rule of law, but we are in this. Ukraine has
been invaded, Israel has been invaded, and they threaten Taiwan.
Plutonium pit production is among the most critical national security
needs. As with every weapon, we must continue to invest in improvements
to our nuclear inventory to achieve peace through strength in the
tradition, as the chairman has so correctly said, of Ronald Reagan.
Sadly and incredibly, last night, BBC News broadcast a report: Russia
has just rehearsed a massive nuclear strike capability. This was
presented on Russian Putin's state TV last night as the defense
minister reviewed with the war criminal Vladimir Putin of how current
this is.
The United States currently has a statutory requirement of producing
80 plutonium pits per year, as close as we can to 2030. Of those 80,
the Savannah River Site will be responsible for producing 50. As the
only Member of Congress who has actually worked at the Savannah River
Site, I know of the competence and capabilities of people at this site.
Mr. FLEISCHMANN. Mr. Chairman, I yield to the gentleman from South
Carolina (Mr. Duncan). I would explain to the Chairman that this fine
gentleman is my counterpart on the authorization side on the Energy and
Commerce Committee. He has been a strong leader in nuclear and has been
my partner. I am the appropriator, and he is the authorizer.
Mr. DUNCAN. Mr. Chairman, I speak in opposition to this amendment
because it puts American security at risk. Plutonium pits, a key
component of nuclear warhead production, have not been regularly
produced in the United States since 1989.
We are forced to refurbish our existing stockpile of warheads to keep
up with the demand. We can only do that for so long because the
components degrade. Russia and China are ramping up their capacity to
produce new nuclear weapon components. We need to show our adversaries
we are capable of maintaining a strong and modernized nuclear
deterrent.
In fact, Speaker Johnson yesterday reiterated, ``Peace through
strength.'' We have a statutory obligation to manufacture at least 80
plutonium pits annually by the year 2030 just to maintain our national
defense goals.
H Canyon at Savannah River Site is a critical component. It is the
last of its kind in the Nation to help the disassembly and assembly
process. This amendment is misguided.
Mr. Chairman, I would invite the gentleman from California to
actually come down to South Carolina and visit the Savannah River Site
because I have been told you haven't. You are talking about something
you don't even really know about just because you want to cut funding
away and you don't like nuclear weapons.
The plutonium pit project at Savannah River Site in South Carolina
will be responsible for producing over half of the minimum annual
requirement. We must continue to support Savannah River Site to
maintain a dominant nuclear force in the world, and I urge my
colleagues to vote ``no'' on this amendment.
Mr. FLEISCHMANN. Mr. Chairman, I yield to the gentleman from Georgia
(Mr. Allen).
Mr. ALLEN. Mr. Chair, I rise in opposition to this amendment, which
would prohibit funding for plutonium pit production at the Savannah
River Site. I appreciate my friend from California's concern of cost.
The Acting CHAIR. The time of the gentleman has expired.
Mr. FLEISCHMANN. Mr. Chair, I rise as the designee of the gentlewoman
from Texas (Ms. Granger).
Mr. Chair, I move to strike the last word.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Tennessee is recognized for 5
minutes.
Mr. FLEISCHMANN. Mr. Chair, I yield to the gentleman from Georgia
(Mr. Allen).
Mr. ALLEN. Mr. Chair, I rise in opposition to this amendment, which
would prohibit funding for plutonium pit production at the Savannah
River Site. My friend mentioned the cost overruns, and I appreciate his
concern with that.
Let me tell you. I spent 40 years in the construction business. In
the last 2 years, concrete has doubled in price, steel has doubled in
price, and there is a lot of concrete and steel in plutonium. We do
need to deal with the inflation we are seeing out there.
The Savannah River Site, also known as SRS, is a Department of Energy
site conducting important work to defend our national security, and
Georgia's 12th District is home to approximately 30 percent of the
workforce.
Currently under construction at the Savannah River Site is the
Savannah River Plutonium Processing Facility. Required by law, this is
part of a two-site strategy with Los Alamos National Laboratory and the
Savannah River Site tasked with producing plutonium pits to help
improve resiliency and mitigate risk in the United States' pit
production. Let me say that again: to mitigate risk in the United
States' pit production.
This shortsighted amendment would critically threaten this urgent
national security mission. The Savannah River Site is committed to
nuclear modernization to ensure America's nuclear
[[Page H5113]]
deterrent is safe and reliable. To say otherwise is simply not true.
Mr. Chair, I urge a ``no'' vote on this amendment.
Mr. FLEISCHMANN. Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Chairman, I have a question. I have a question
about fairness in the debate. The chair of the subcommittee has offered
two pro forma amendments, giving my side of the debate no opportunity
whatsoever to respond to the issues that have been raised.
Mr. Chairman, I am curious, is fairness out of order on this floor?
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman is recognized.
Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Chairman, I posed a question to the Chair. Does
the Chair have an answer to my question?
Is fairness out of order on this floor?
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman has not stated a parliamentary
inquiry.
The gentleman will state his parliamentary inquiry.
Parliamentary Inquiries
Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Chair, a parliamentary inquiry would be: Sir, how
can I achieve, under the rules of the House, a fair debate with equal
time on the issue?
Mr. Chairman, I have a parliamentary question before the Chair. Fair
is fair, guys.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman is free to consult House Resolution
756, which sets the terms for consideration of this bill.
Mr. GARAMENDI. Further parliamentary inquiry, Mr. Chairman.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman will state his parliamentary inquiry.
Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Chairman, in an effort to achieve that
consultation, sir, could the House provide me with information since I
do not have before me the rules of the House.
Perhaps they can provide me the rules of the House and I could read
it, or perhaps the Chair can provide some advice on that particular
section of the rules.
The Acting CHAIR. The Chair would inform the gentleman that the rule
allows for 10 pro forma amendments that are granted respectively to the
chair and ranking minority member of the Committee on Appropriations or
their designees.
Mr. GARAMENDI. Further parliamentary inquiry, Mr. Chair.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman will state his parliamentary inquiry.
Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Chairman, if I might ask another parliamentary
question, sir. As the author of this amendment, do I have the
opportunity to propose 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 of those pro forma
amendments?
The Acting CHAIR. That is correct.
Mr. GARAMENDI. Well, then let us get started.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman is recognized.
Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Chair, I have a pro forma amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman is recognized for his remaining time.
Mr. GARAMENDI. How many minutes do I have remaining, sir?
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman would have to be recognized as the
designee of the chair or ranking minority member of the Committee on
Appropriations to be allowed to offer a pro forma amendment.
The gentleman is recognized for 1 minute and 15 seconds at this point
as the proponent of the amendment.
Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Chairman, this House has always operated in a fair
and evenhanded way. And I must say, the use of the pro forma amendment
by my colleagues on the Republican side creates a very unfair debate,
in which the points put forward in opposition to my amendment, I do not
have time to deal with.
However, I will take whatever time I have remaining and not spend
much time on the necessity for fairness in the debate, which has a
whole lot to do with the time available.
Now, very, very quickly, since I have only a minute and some seconds
left here.
This is not an end to the plutonium pit production. What it says is
to pause for 1 year, an $850 million expenditure on what has become not
a plutonium pit but a dollar pit. Billions and billions of dollars have
been spent on the Savannah facility, first, to somehow deal with the
nuclear waste. That didn't work.
It has been repurposed to build plutonium pits. The reality here is
there will not be a pit built in Savannah River for at least a decade.
So all of this chatter about the safety of this Nation is nonsense. The
reality here is we have a money pit.
The Acting CHAIR. The time of the gentleman has expired.
Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Chairman, I rise as the designee of the gentlewoman
from Connecticut (Ms. DeLauro).
Mr. Chair, I move to strike the last word.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman is recognized for 5 minutes.
Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Chair, I yield to the gentleman from California (Mr.
Garamendi).
Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Chair, apparently, we want a debate on the
plutonium pit issue. Well, let it happen. Let's get some facts here.
The 80 pits per year has little to do with nuclear arms, nuclear bombs,
it has everything to do with a number that was invented by the
committees of this House.
So what are we going to do with these pits?
First of all, the pits will not be built in Savannah River for at
least a decade, and quite likely 15 years. Yes, perhaps they will in 15
years produce 50 pits per year. For what purpose?
Specifically, now the pit production is taking place at Los Alamos
National Laboratories, which is diligently and wastefully moving
forward to produce 30 pits per year.
The first pit at Savannah River--that is the war reserve pit--it is
likely to be produced in 3 to 4 years from now, beginning at the rate
of one a year and eventually moving to 30 per year, which will probably
take a full decade and several billion dollars to do.
What is that pit going to be used for?
Maybe we ought to know before we start talking about the safety of
this world and this Nation.
The pits that are going to be built at Savannah River are
specifically for a new nuclear bomb, the 87-1, which has not yet been
produced.
{time} 1045
Presumably, that bomb will go on the new Sentinel missile, which in
and of itself is $150 billion that we will spend to replace the
Minuteman III missiles that are now in the silos in the upper Midwest.
By the way, the Minuteman IIIs are perfectly good for at least
another decade, so why are we spending that money? Presumably because
we decided a decade ago that we ought to do it and that somehow the
Minuteman III missiles wouldn't continue to work.
In a recent test this year, the Minuteman III worked perfectly well,
and there has been no indication that the Minuteman III missile cannot
continue to work perfectly well for the next decade or more. We have
not yet calculated the full cost of replacing the Minuteman III with
the new Sentinel program, but the estimates are well over $150 billion.
For what purpose? To make us safer? No. It won't make us safer at
all.
By the way, what bomb will be put on the Sentinel while we await the
87-1? Guess what it is? It is the existing bomb that we have on the
Minuteman III. That new weapon, the 87-1, is at least a decade away,
and the cost is unknown, but you had better get your billion dollars
together because it will surely be in that range.
We need a debate about all of this. This is not about national
security. This is about a new nuclear arms race that puts humanity on
this planet in serious jeopardy. We have quite enough weapons to deter
anybody from using a nuclear weapon, and yes, so do China and Russia.
This is about deterrence. How many bombs, how many weapons, how many
delivery systems are necessary for deterrence? If it is a war, yes, all
three countries have quite enough to terminate life on this planet. We
don't need more to achieve a victory in a nuclear war. We have quite
enough already. We can target wherever we need to target--in China, in
Russia, wherever. We have quite enough for that.
As a deterrent, we have quite enough for deterrence. Yes, Putin
rattled the nuclear saber. To what effect? What effect did his rattling
achieve? Nothing.
Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentleman from California (Mr. Garamendi).
[[Page H5114]]
The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the noes
appeared to have it.
Mr. GARAMENDI. 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 California
will be postponed.
Amendment No. 37 Offered by Mr. Garamendi
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 37
printed in part B of House Report 118-242.
Mr. GARAMENDI. 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:
At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the
following:
Sec. __. None of the funds made available by this Act may
be used for the W87-1 Modification Program.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 756, the gentleman
from California (Mr. Garamendi) and a Member opposed each will control
5 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from California.
Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Chairman, I think I will take a deep breath. I was
a little wound up a few moments ago. If the opposition to this
amendment would like to go through that process of an additional 5
minutes, we will play that game, and I would actually appreciate doing
that.
There is a lot that we need to discuss here. There is a lot that this
House needs to consider, and it is about the nuclear enterprise. It is
about a 10-year mission that we have been on to rebuild our nuclear
programs.
One part of that nuclear program is a new nuclear bomb to be put on
the new Sentinel rockets that replace the Minuteman III. A moment ago,
I discussed the situation. Do we really need to spend $120 billion,
$150 billion over the next decade to replace the Minuteman III and a
new nuclear bomb? The answer is, we have time. We have time.
As I said a few moments ago, the Minuteman III will work for a
considerable period into the future, and the nuclear weapon that is
presently on the Minuteman III is going to work for many more years. It
is not aging out. It is perfectly reliable.
What is this 87-1 all about? It is a new bomb. It, in fact, is the
first new bomb that we have built in many years. Presumably, it will
work better than the bomb that is presently on the Minuteman III and
will be used on the new Sentinel rocket when it is ready to be placed
into new silos upon which we will spend billions of dollars building
the silos and the infrastructure.
The 87-1, this brings us right back to the previous question that we
had about plutonium pit production. Do we need additional pit
production? I ask all of us to take a calendar, look at the years
ahead, and begin to put in place the arrival of the new Sentinel, which
will surely be at least a decade, if not longer. Then, look at the pit
production that will be able to be put in place in Los Alamos, one a
year, two, three, four, five. We will be stacking up new pits in Los
Alamos well ahead of the need for this new weapon to be put on the
Sentinel rocket. We will have an inventory of pits that would be used
for the 87-1.
What I am saying here in this amendment is, wait a minute. Take a
look at the calendar. Take a look at the way these pieces fit
together--billions of dollars in Savannah River to build nuclear pits
that will not even be available for at least a decade and a half. Take
a look at the pits we are producing and will be able to produce at Los
Alamos and the stockpile of pits that would then be available for the
timing of the 87-1, should we ever decide that we need it.
We do not need to spend this money today on the 87-1 or on Savannah
River. This is a pause. We heard the new Speaker stand right there and
tell us that we have a deficit problem.
We sure as hell do have a deficit problem. Part of it is how we spend
our money. We ought to take a look at that.
That is what these amendments are about. These amendments are about
spending money unnecessarily now. We have things that we desperately
need to do. We need to educate, to research, to be in competition
economically with China. Yet, here we are. A small amount of money
here, pause this expenditure. Pause it. We are not doing away with the
87-1, although that is another argument we might have someday. Right
now, why are we spending this money today? Why?
The new Speaker wants to deal with the deficit. Deal with this. Pause
this expenditure. We have plenty of time to deal with this.
For those who argue that this has something to do with our current
national security, you are dead wrong because this will not be
available for at least a decade, and you can argue whether we even need
it then.
Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. FLEISCHMANN. Mr. Chairman, I rise in strong opposition to the
amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Tennessee is recognized for 5
minutes.
Mr. FLEISCHMANN. Mr. Chair, once again, I respectfully and vehemently
disagree with my friend and colleague, the gentleman from California
(Mr. Garamendi).
I represent the great people of the city of Oak Ridge in Tennessee,
the birthplace of the Manhattan Project. The NNSA has a facility there.
It is called the Y-12 facility. We are building the uranium processing
facility.
That became very apparent to me when I was a college freshman
correctly arguing against a nuclear freeze, against a room full of
liberal, radical, leftist students. I knew I was right then because I
knew Ronald Reagan was right. What I didn't know then was that nuclear
weapons deteriorate. I thought if you had a nuclear weapon, you could
put it on a shelf, and if you needed it, you could go get it. The
reality is that nuclear weapons, by their nature, deteriorate and have
to be updated.
Now, through three administrations--the Obama administration, the
Trump administration, and now the Biden administration--I have worked
hand in hand with the NNSA, the National Nuclear Security
Administration. To do what? To make sure that our current nuclear
arsenal, our nuclear deterrent, is strong.
Where I disagree respectfully and most vehemently with my colleague
from California is that our resolve is to tell the world today, whether
it is in Moscow, Beijing, or any of the other countries that have a
nuclear capability--and sadly, to my colleague, there are at least 10
countries now that have the ability to produce and deliver a nuclear
weapon. That is scary. The resolve of the people of the United States
must be to have a strong nuclear deterrent today and in the future.
That is why we have to have this program. That is why we have to keep
our Nation's nuclear arsenal strong and vibrant now and in the future.
Specifically, Mr. Chairman, the W87-1 Modification Program will
replace the W78 warhead and support fielding the Air Force Sentinel
missile system. Mr. Chair, we have our nuclear triad--land based; sea,
with our great United States Navy; and Air Force. It is a triad, and it
is a strong triad. This is the message to the world, that we can never
have a nuclear weapon used and deployed.
Listen to Mr. Putin. He is threatening it. That is outrageous. We can
never have that type of rhetoric in the world. We have to stand against
that.
The strongest way to do that is a nuclear deterrent and a commitment,
not only to our friends in Savannah River, not only to our friends in
Oak Ridge, but all over the United States. We have strong weapons labs
that are doing a great job. The men and women of the NNSA are our great
patriots. They are within the Department of Energy. The customer is the
Department of Defense, but we are doing a tremendous job.
I wish the world were a benign place. I wish it were a world without
nuclear weapons, but they are existent. They are there. We are the
leader in protecting the free world. We have to protect the people of
the United States. We have to send a message.
Mr. Chair, I, therefore, strongly and vehemently oppose the
gentleman's amendment. I yield back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentleman from California (Mr. Garamendi).
[[Page H5115]]
The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the noes
appeared to have it.
Mr. GARAMENDI. 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 California
will be postponed.
Amendment No. 38 Offered by Ms. Hageman
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 38
printed in part B of House Report 118-242.
Ms. HAGEMAN. 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:
At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the
following:
Sec. __. None of the funds made available by this Act may
be used to implement the Industrial Decarbonization Roadmap
published by the Department of Energy and dated September
2022 (DOE/EE-2635).
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 756, the gentlewoman
from Wyoming (Ms. Hageman) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Wyoming.
{time} 1100
Ms. HAGEMAN. Mr. Chair, I rise in support of my amendment No. 38 to
H.R. 4394, which would prohibit the use of taxpayer funds from going to
the Department of Energy's implementation of its proposed Industrial
Decarbonization Roadmap.
The Industrial Decarbonization Roadmap identifies and targets four
different categories of so-called CO2 emitters--residential,
commercial, industrial, and transportation sectors. In other words,
pretty much every aspect of our lives.
What does this portend in the real world? We are already experiencing
the consequences of this administration's decision to target
residential carbon emissions by attacking those home appliances that
actually work, from gas stoves to washers and dryers to water heaters,
thereby causing the price of these critically important appliances to
skyrocket while also reducing their availability.
We are also suffering through this administration's decision to
target the transportation sector by imposing tailpipe emission
requirements, fuel efficiency standards, and propping up the electric
vehicle industry, thereby causing the price of our cars and trucks to
skyrocket while also reducing their availability.
What is the outcome of these misguided efforts? Government imposed
wretchedness, of course, but that is what this administration does
best. It is no wonder that automobile repossessions are at an all-time
high because of bad policies imposed by bureaucrats who are shielded
from both accountability and having to suffer the consequences of their
bad decisions, but real Americans suffer every day.
This roadmap is bad policy, and I urge the adoption of my amendment.
Mr. Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Chair, I rise in strong opposition to this amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Ohio is recognized for 5
minutes.
Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Chair, I invite the gentlewoman to come into any
pulmonary ward in this country and see the cancers that attend to
people who have suffered from carbon ingestion in their careers.
This amendment prohibits funds to implement the Industrial
Decarbonization Roadmap published by the Department of Energy in
September 2022.
The purpose of the roadmap is to develop a strategic approach to
decarbonizing the Nation's industrial sector--I come from industrial
America--while simultaneously creating good-paying jobs for American
workers, spurring economic growth, developing U.S. leadership in these
new technologies, and creating a cleaner, more equitable, and healthier
workplace for all Americans.
The industrial sector represents 30 percent of energy-related carbon
dioxide emissions in the United States. To address the climate crisis,
we must address these emissions. We have a lot more people living in
this country now. When I was born, there were 146 million. Today, we
have about 335. It is going to go up to 400 million people. We have to
think about our way of life and how we meet the demands of a new era.
In addressing these emissions, we will also dramatically improve air
quality and reduce millions of early deaths in our country and around
the world.
The roadmap focused on proven steps for energy technology innovation:
advancing early-stage research and development, investing in multiple
process strategies, and scaling through demonstrations and integrating
solutions, including on the factory floor and places where equipment is
repaired.
America has always been about the future. A successful industrial
decarbonization strategy is critical to supporting the existing 11.4
million workers in American manufacturing and growing a future
workforce in the clean industry transition.
There is a lot of training that has to be done there. How is it that
our firefighters across this country, just in the last few years, have
discovered the cancers that attend to working in that extremely
dangerous and important patriotic service to the people of our country?
Their equipment is important, and what happens to their lungs and their
bodies is really important.
Again, I invite you to come with me into the hospitals of this
country and meet the families of workers who have died and the people
suffering because of carbon ingestion.
While it is clear we need an all-of-the-above energy strategy that
taps domestic oil and gas and invests in clean energy, we must continue
to promote energy innovation, a cleaner workplace in all sectors of the
economy, and in the American home as well.
Mr. Chair, I strongly urge my colleagues to vote against this
amendment, and I reserve the balance of my time.
Ms. HAGEMAN. Mr. Chair, the administration's roadmap targets those
key industries that significantly contribute to the stability of our
Nation's economy and supply chain; namely, the petroleum refining,
chemicals, iron and steel, cement, and food and beverage industries.
Instead of helping our American businesses, families, and
communities, the roadmap requires the use of substantially less
efficient, less reliable, and more costly energy resources, including
so-called clean energy, hoping to ultimately replace our ability to
access our very own domestic, affordable, and reliable energy
resources.
One of the goals mentioned in the roadmap is to ``prepare the
existing 11.4 million American manufacturing workers and future
workforce for the clean industry transition.''
When I hear that this administration seeks to prepare the existing
11.4 million American manufacturing workers for the clean energy
transition and then watch as they attempt to shut down our mines while
exporting manufacturing jobs to countries with dirtier products and
less effective environmental policies led by dictators and despots, I
admit I am more than skeptical as to what preparing actually means.
This administration's roadmap is unworkable and will bankrupt our
country.
Mr. Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Chair, mining is a really difficult industry. I yield
back the balance of my time.
Ms. HAGEMAN. Mr. Chair, another goal highlighted in the roadmap
supports a transition to no-carbon fuels.
Mr. Chairman, Americans see through these goals. The reality is that
no-carbon fuels are not only no such thing--and only a charlatan would
argue otherwise--but they receive four times the amount in Federal
subsidies while producing less than one-fifth of the energy as compared
to our legacy industries.
These fuels are not only unreliable, even with the ridiculous amount
of taxpayer subsidies, but environmentally destructive and require
massive amounts of land per unit of energy produced. They kill birds
and other wildlife by the millions.
These unreliable projects simply cannot compete with our traditional
and reliable energy resources, a fact borne out by their need for
massive Federal subsidies to be viable at all. Figures from the U.S.
Energy Information Administration show that renewables received $15.6
billion in subsidies during
[[Page H5116]]
fiscal year 2022 and an estimated $1.2 trillion from the so-called
Inflation Reduction Act and are the largest recipient of such
subsidies.
It is thus entirely foreseeable that the second largest recipient of
subsidies, according to the Energy Information Administration, are
lower-income families who struggle to pay their utility bills, proving
that this administration is hell-bent on imposing energy poverty on
every sector of our society.
Why are they struggling? They are struggling because of rising energy
prices and rising utility fees as a result of this administration's
forced energy poverty. We simply cannot afford to pursue this energy
transition imposed on us by radical leftists.
As the sole Representative of a State whose main industries have been
hijacked by the Federal Government in the name of this pie-in-the-sky
transition, I voice my strong opposition to this roadmap. I ask my
colleagues to join me in defunding the Department of Energy's
implementation of this proposed Industrial Decarbonization Roadmap.
Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentlewoman from Wyoming (Ms. Hageman).
The amendment was agreed to.
Amendment No. 39 Offered by Ms. Hageman
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 39
printed in part B of House Report 118-242.
Ms. HAGEMAN. 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:
At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the
following:
Sec. __. None of the funds made available by this Act may
be used for the SuperTruck III program of the Department of
Energy.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 756, the gentlewoman
from Wyoming (Ms. Hageman) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Wyoming.
Ms. HAGEMAN. Mr. Chair, I rise in support of my amendment No. 39 to
H.R. 4394, which prohibits funding from going toward the SuperTruck 3
program.
According to the Department of Energy, this program is unlike
previous SuperTruck programs; its primary focus being on
electrification and meeting so-called green energy goals rather than
improving fuel efficiency.
DOE's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy initially
launched the SuperTruck initiatives in 2009 with the aim of improving
heavy-duty truck efficiency by 50 percent while the follow-up
SuperTruck 2 in 2016 sought to double fuel efficiency for 18-wheeler,
or class 8, trucks.
Since then, the program has taken a drastic turn away from these
goals. DOE has repurposed this program towards the research and
development of lowering greenhouse gas emissions. SuperTruck 3 was
created to fund projects to electrify medium- and heavy-duty freight
trucks.
Mr. Chairman, Americans are tired of their taxpayer dollars being
used to fund programs that ultimately cause more harm than good. We
simply cannot afford to support programs that share the same
fundamental goals outlined in the Green New Deal. They will destroy our
economy and force a change in behavior by reducing the availability of
the goods that Americans actually want.
Mr. Chair, I urge support of my amendment, and I reserve the balance
of my time.
Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Chair, I rise in strong opposition to this amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Ohio is recognized for 5
minutes.
Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Chair, as a daughter of automotive and truck America
and an aficionado of NASCAR and having spent a lot of my time on drag
strips across the country, including my own reasons, I really rise in
strong opposition to this amendment because it is not about the future.
It is about the past.
This amendment prohibits funds for the Department of Energy's
SuperTruck 3 program within the Office of Energy Efficiency and
Renewable Energy. It is hard to make an engine. It is hard to conceive
it. It is hard to build it. It takes a lot of creativity to understand
propulsion. The parts of the country that I represent specialize in
that.
The Department of Energy initially launched the SuperTruck initiative
in 2009 to improve heavy-duty truck freight efficiency by 50 percent.
That is a gulp.
The second iteration, SuperTruck 2, sought to double fuel efficiency
for 18-wheeler trucks.
SuperTruck 3 is currently working to improve medium-and heavy-duty
truck efficiencies and reduce emissions of freight transportation, that
is underway.
This program consists of a public-private partnership with General
Motors, Ford Motor Company, Daimler Truck North America, Volvo Group
North America, and PACCAR.
Now, I want America to succeed. I want the free world to succeed.
This program is building on a proven track record. Within 7 years, four
truck makers exceeded the SuperTruck 1 goals and the five SuperTruck 2
projects are on track to more than double their fuel efficiency.
I invite the gentlewoman to come with me through some of these
companies and some of these research sites to see what it takes to make
America more fuel efficient.
These efforts help create good-paying jobs here at home and boost
American supply chains, not in China, not in Japan, not anywhere else
in the world, but right here.
Oil prices are on the rise again. Our transportation sector is
currently largely dependent on petroleum and thus subject to oil price
volatility and what will become diminished supplies in the decades
ahead. I don't want America to be stuck on the whims of dictators
throughout the world. It is common sense we should be developing energy
alternatives and promoting energy proficiency and advancement in our
transportation sector.
While it is clear that we need an all-of-the-above energy strategy
that taps domestic oil and gas, we must also invest in alternative
energy options to diversify our energy portfolio, including hydrogen,
hydrogen fuel cells. Where the market is moving, the companies are
moving. We need to help to propel that advancement sooner rather than
later.
Mr. Chair, I strongly urge my colleagues to vote against this
amendment, and I reserve the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. Members are reminded to direct their remarks to the
Chair.
{time} 1115
Ms. HAGEMAN. Mr. Chair, some may argue that this program remains
aimed at improving fuel efficiency rather than a repurposed agenda
aimed at fulfilling radical Green New Deal priorities.
I refer those who would make this argument to a quote from Senator
Merkley in support of this program. He said: ``Climate chaos is the
greatest existential threat of our lifetimes, and it is going to take
an all-hands-on-deck approach to slash pollution--much of which comes
from the transportation sector--that is fanning the flames of the
crisis. . . . we can use new technologies to chart a path forward . . .
, and lead the world toward a more sustainable future. . . . as we work
to thwart the most catastrophic impact of the climate crisis.''
Now, setting aside for a moment the absurdity of the statement, you
can tell it was made by a politician who will never be held accountable
for the consequences of such actions or actually be required to live
under the rules he seeks to impose. He will always be able to afford
whatever vehicle he chooses, but not so much for the rest of us.
It is not just left-leaning politicians who spout hyperbole and
demand net-zero emissions by 2050. It is also our Federal agencies.
Secretary Granholm said: ``Getting to net-zero carbon emission . . .
means we must aggressively cut down the largest source of emissions:
the transportation sector.''
Then, to highlight this, she referred to the SuperTruck program. She
said: DOE's first two SuperTruck initiatives led to a massive leap in
fuel efficiency. ``This new funding triples down on . . .
[[Page H5117]]
a push toward electrifying trucks of all sizes, along with efforts to
expand EV charging access and develop low-emission car engines.''
Large scale use of electric vehicles will not happen unless mandated
by the Federal Government. This is borne out by the figures from the
U.S. Energy Information Administration. The fact is that this wasteful
spending is absolutely not sustainable.
Mr. Chair, I urge the adoption of my amendment, and I reserve the
balance of my time.
Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Chair, I yield to the gentleman from Tennessee (Mr.
Fleischmann), the chair of the Energy and Water Subcommittee.
Mr. FLEISCHMANN. Mr. Chair, I thank the ranking member for yielding.
On this issue I agree with Ranking Member Kaptur. While I recognize
the current administration has gone too far in pursuing its climate
goals, I believe there are aspects of this program we can all support.
In particular, the SuperTruck program awardees represent the largest
producers of medium- and heavy-duty trucks in the United States. The
potential research and development of benefits are still worthy of
pursuit. For these reasons, I oppose the gentlewoman's amendment.
Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
Ms. HAGEMAN. Mr. Chair, in Wyoming, we have many instances of EV
drivers getting stranded out in the cold soon after charging their
vehicles. We had a California driver, just a few months ago in
Riverton, who charged his vehicle enough to go 120 miles but ran out of
kilovolts halfway over the mountain, about 60 miles.
On this particular occasion, it wasn't even very cold, at least not
by Wyoming standards. Had he been in the same spot just a week or so
earlier, he would have been stuck in minus 20-degree temperature with
60-mile-an-hour winds.
The town of Jackson just realized that paying $1 million each for a
fleet of electric buses didn't make them any more operational in our
harsh winter conditions, having found out the hard way that they are
unreliable and simply will not work at higher elevations and in single-
digit temperatures.
The point I am making is that this transition that is being forced
upon us by this administration is not only wrong-handed, it is
downright dangerous.
Mr. Chair, supporting this program is not supporting fuel efficiency.
It is another way to prop up the forced energy transition to unreliable
resources.
For that reason, I urge the adoption of my amendment, and I yield
back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentlewoman from Wyoming (Ms. Hageman).
The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes
appeared to have it.
Mr. FLEISCHMANN. 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 gentlewoman from Wyoming
will be postponed.
Amendment No. 40 Offered by Ms. Hageman
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 40
printed in part B of House Report 118-242.
Ms. HAGEMAN. 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:
At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the
following:
Sec. __. None of the funds made available by this Act may
be used to finalize, implement, administer, or enforce the
proposed rule entitled ``Energy Conservation Program: Energy
Conservation Standards for Consumer Water Heaters'' published
by the Department of Energy in the Federal Register on July
28, 2023 (88 Fed. Reg. 49058).
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 756, the gentlewoman
from Wyoming (Ms. Hageman) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Wyoming.
Ms. HAGEMAN. Mr. Chair, I rise in support of my amendment No. 40 to
H.R. 4394 which prohibits the use of funds to finalize, implement,
administer, or enforce the tyrannical, unnecessary, and wrongheaded
``Energy Conservation Standards for Consumer Water Heaters.''
In late July of this year, the office of Energy Efficiency and
Renewable Energy proposed a rule to enforce strict conservation
standards for consumer water heaters, holding affordable and reliable
home appliances hostage to the will of a bunch of unelected bureaucrats
in the Federal Government.
All of this is being done in the name of the allegedly reducing
global emissions and enforcing an energy transition that will do
nothing to actually change global temperatures, either in the short or
long term, but will absolutely cause a substantial increase in the cost
of our appliances.
We are facing some serious crises in this country: an open border,
over 8 million illegal aliens invading America, a broken supply chain,
bone-crushing inflation, China spying on us from above, a war in the
Middle East, et cetera.
What does this administration focus on? Making all of us poor in
order to force us to use costly appliances that don't work.
This administration is incapable of addressing the real issues that
are important to the American public. What do they do? They target the
home appliances, tools, and vehicles that actually work, from gas
stoves to water heaters, from air-conditioners to lawnmowers, from the
internal combustion engine to reliable vehicles. This nonsense needs to
stop.
Mr. Chair, I encourage the adoption of my amendment, and I reserve
the balance of my time.
Ms. KAPTUR. I rise in opposition to the gentlewoman's amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Ohio is recognized for 5
minutes.
Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Chair, first, I oppose the amendment because the
Department of Energy is charged with implementing congressionally
directed energy efficiency standards. They are implementing the laws we
passed.
The Department of Energy drafts energy efficiency regulations with
the full participation of the manufacturers and the public at large,
and they do issue their guidelines and regulations for review.
The end result is people save money. They save money on water
heaters. They save money on what it costs to wash clothes at home and
on refrigerators.
When these standards are set forth, they also promote innovation. You
get a lot of new inventions across the country, and we can see the
results of that every day. The benefits are real.
As a result of the Department of Energy's efficiency actions in the
past, cost savings for American families and businesses are projected
to reach nearly $2 trillion by 2030. It not only makes sense for the
consumer. Frankly, it makes sense for the country because it means that
the systems to supply the energy are also more efficient. It drives us
to be better at what we do.
It is estimated per household the energy efficiencies achieved
already have amounted to over $6,000 of savings for every American
every month when you pay every one of those bills: your gas bills, your
electric bills, everything else you have to pay for in your house.
The Department of Energy estimates that this specific rule would
slash household utility costs by over $11 billion annually to save
consumers $198 billion on their energy bills over 30 years when we look
at the whole. With the population growing, we have to do a better job
of trying to save resources in order to make sure that everyone has the
ability to access them.
Stopping the Department of Energy from finalizing, implementing, or
enforcing energy efficiency standards basically is bicycling backward
and will only create uncertainty for manufacturers and consumers.
For consumers, costs go up when we don't pay attention. With respect
to the proposed energy efficiency standards for consumer water heaters,
I urge my colleagues with concerns to participate fully in the
rulemaking process, as I have done with respect to my concerns about
the proposed energy efficiency standards for distribution transformers.
That is appropriate. It is a response people can take to the proposed
rule and companies can take.
Congress has vested the Department of Energy with the authority to
promulgate these rules. Let us fully participate in the process. Let's
make
[[Page H5118]]
America better. Let's modernize America.
Mr. Chair, I urge my colleagues to reject this amendment, and I yield
back the balance of my time.
Ms. HAGEMAN. Mr. Chair, in this latest proposal, the administration
is intentionally attempting to force an increase in the cost of water
heaters for consumers and to take those water heaters that actually
work off the market.
What did I call that a few minutes ago? Oh, yeah, government-imposed
wretchedness.
The cost of home appliances is skyrocketing all because of this
administration's war on prosperity. With new regulations, government-
imposed market uncertainty, and an intentionally disrupted supply
chain, there is certainly a method to their madness.
A new word and concept has been born. This administration and radical
bureaucrats running it have one goal in mind, and they call it de-
development. Let that sink in.
Throughout most of modern history, our political leaders have sought
to improve our standard of living, to improve prosperity, and to make
our everyday goods and needs more affordable, not less so, yet that is
where we are now. The Biden administration is intentionally seeking to
make us all poorer, to make us more dependent on the government, to
take away our ability to feed, clothe, and house our families.
It is the concept of de-development that underlies the very purpose
of the Energy Conservation Standards for Consumer Water Heaters. It is
for that reason that we must make sure that such standards never go
into effect.
More than 9 million water heaters are sold in the United States every
year. What water heaters we use should be a matter of personal freedom
and economic choice. Our water heater manufacturers have built the most
efficient and environmentally friendly products in the world. That
isn't enough, no, not when the goal is not to make our necessary
appliances more affordable but when the goal is to use regulations to
change human behavior.
I will say it again. When government-imposed wretchedness is not a
byproduct of agency action but the purpose of the action itself, you
know that you have an out-of-control government that must be starved of
money. That is exactly what my amendment does. It starves these new
standards of the lifeblood that they need to be weaponized against the
American people.
The bottom line is this: The Biden administration doesn't care about
personal freedom or economic choice, and Democrats are cheering every
opportunity they get to intervene in the day-to-day lives of Americans.
Congress has the authority and responsibility to challenge the extent
to which these proposed standards are both technically feasible and
economically justified, and they are neither.
This administration's strategy to destroy everything that works is
causing energy poverty in vulnerable communities. While powerful clean
energy companies are reaping the benefits of billions and billions of
dollars in Federal taxpayer subsidies, the consumers are bearing the
burden of the costs.
Many Americans are already struggling to heat their homes, pay their
utilities, and put food on the table, primarily because of this
administration's failed energy policies. This proposed rule only
worsens those problems while solving absolutely nothing.
I ask my colleagues to join me in support of freedom and economic
prosperity by supporting my amendment to defund this administration's
proposed rule by preventing them from finalizing, implementing, and
enforcing rulemaking pertaining to energy conservation standards for
consumer water heaters. This is tyranny and it needs to stop.
Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentlewoman from Wyoming (Ms. Hageman).
The amendment was agreed to.

Amendment No. 41 Offered by Mr. Jackson
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 41
printed in part B of House Report 118-242.
Mr. JACKSON of Texas. 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:
At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the
following:
Sec. __. None of the funds made available by this Act may
be used by the National Nuclear Security Administration to
halt the construction of a High Explosive Synthesis,
Formulation, and Production facility at the Pantex Plant near
Amarillo, Texas.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 756, the gentleman
from Texas (Mr. Jackson) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Texas.
Mr. JACKSON of Texas. Mr. Chair, the National Nuclear Security
Administration's Pantex plant in Amarillo, Texas, is one of our
Nation's most valuable and vital military assets as it is our strategic
force's only nuclear weapons assembly and disassembly facility.
The saying within the military's nuclear enterprise is ``all roads
lead to Pantex'' because this site in my district is a mandatory stop
for every single nuclear weapon within our inventory.
This amendment will prohibit the Biden administration from halting
construction of the much-needed High Explosive Synthesis, Formulation,
and Production Facility at Pantex.
This major construction project will enhance our nuclear deterrence
capability by allowing the NNSA to modernize and scale its high
explosive production capabilities to meet pressing and urgent stockpile
requirements.
Right now, we rely on a single, external vendor for large-scale
synthesis, formulation, and blending for high explosive products. There
have been repeated issues with this vendor, including lack of
prioritization and even late deliveries. This presents a single point
of failure in the nuclear enterprise which jeopardizes our nuclear
weapons production.
Once this new facility is constructed at Pantex, NNSA will be able to
meet all long-term high explosive material needs for the weapons
stockpile while successfully mitigating nearly all risks associated
with production.
Given the threat environment we face in the world today, many people
might assume that the Federal Government has made adequate investments
in Pantex and modernized appropriately. Those assumptions would be dead
wrong. Many of the facilities at the Pantex plant were built in the
1940s and the 1950s.
Today, in 2023, you are required to wear a hardhat when entering some
of the buildings because the ceiling is
[[Page H5131]]
crumbling down on top of the workers that work there.
Since I have been in Congress, I have ensured that adequate funding
has been provided each year to maintain the facility's modernization
efforts.
While I have disagreed with the Biden administration nearly every
step of the way on just about every issue, one of the only things they
seemed to be doing right was prioritizing modernization of our Nation's
nuclear enterprise.
Just when I thought this administration grasped how critical it is to
ensure the viability of our Nation's nuclear deterrent, I opened the
budget request for this year only to see that they had completely
zeroed out this project.
Now, this administration wants to let our nuclear forces erode while
they continue to pump billions of dollars into woke, green, and social
initiatives.
This cut was rejected by both the House and Senate Armed Services
Committees, as well as by House appropriators, because we can all see
what President Biden apparently cannot.
The United States must be the unquestioned leader in the ability to
project peace through strength.
The House has successfully authorized and will soon appropriate the
funds for Pantex because we all understand how critical it is to
modernize the facilities where our nuclear weapons are made. We must
take our Nation's nuclear enterprise out of the crosshairs of the Biden
administration.
The world is a dangerous place at the moment with global threats from
China, Iran, Russia, and North Korea. We must provide adequate
investment in our nuclear deterrence capability to ensure these bad
actors never doubt our strategic readiness, and the Pantex plant in
Amarillo is a key component of that.
I urge all Members to support my amendment to prohibit the
administration from halting construction on this critical modernization
initiative.
Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
Ms. KAPTUR. Madam Chair, I rise in opposition to this amendment.
The Acting CHAIR (Mrs. Kim of California). The gentlewoman from Ohio
is recognized for 5 minutes.
Ms. KAPTUR. Madam Chair, I have long been a champion of ensuring that
the United States maintains a safe, secure, and credible nuclear
deterrent while addressing the threat of nuclear proliferation and
terrorism.
I wholeheartedly agree with Chair Fleischmann that the National
Nuclear Security Administration needs to improve its program and
project management given that more than half of its projects are over
cost or behind schedule.
We must also face the realities of future defense caps and begin
making important decisions to prioritize within this program.
As one step in the prioritization process, the National Nuclear
Security Administration proposed pausing, not phasing out, construction
of this facility to focus resources on high-priority items necessary
for nuclear weapon modernization efforts.
Only through strategic prioritization can the program achieve success
in meeting the needs of stockpile requirements and maintaining the
nation's nuclear deterrent.
We should not prohibit the NNSA from pausing certain activities,
especially since those issues will be resolved through conferencing
funding levels.
Madam Chair, I urge my colleagues to vote against this amendment, and
I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. JACKSON of Texas. Madam Chair, I appreciate having the support of
all my colleagues on this amendment, and I yield back the balance of my
time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentleman from Texas (Mr. Jackson).
The amendment was agreed to.
Amendment No. 42 Offered by Mr. Lamborn
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 42
printed in part B of House Report 118-242.
Mr. LAMBORN. Madam Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.
The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:
At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the
following:
Sec. __. None of the funds appropriated or otherwise made
available by this Act may be used to admit any individual who
is a citizen of any country on the current list of sensitive
countries to any facility of a national security laboratory,
as such term is defined in section 4002 of the Atomic Energy
Defense Act, other than areas accessible to the general
public.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 756, the gentleman
from Colorado (Mr. Lamborn) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Colorado.
Mr. LAMBORN. Madam Chair, I rise today in support of my amendment
that restricts citizens of any country on the list of sensitive
countries from entering any U.S. national security laboratory facility.
From Los Alamos to Oak Ridge, our national labs perform critical
national security activities that are the bedrock of our defense. They
oversee the stewardship of our national stockpile which maintains our
safe, secure, credible, and effective nuclear deterrent force.
Unlike our adversaries, the United States has upheld the zero-yield
testing standard set in place by the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty. We
have done this by choosing to make a massive investment in our national
labs to develop a more responsible nuclear testing regime that does not
require super-critical explosions.
I was stunned to hear recent reports, though, of Biden administration
officials inviting citizens from our two greatest adversaries to
observe U.S. nuclear weapons tests. Russia and China should not have
insider access to our testing. This is the latest in a series of
misguided and naive national security actions made by Biden
administration officials. These are the same officials who have sworn
oaths to protect and defend the U.S. Constitution and who are appointed
as caretakers for our Nation's most sensitive national security
activities.
Proponents of this policy argue that inviting foreign observers to
view our tests would encourage our adversaries to be more transparent
about their activities. However, China and Russia have had ample
opportunity to be more open about their nuclear weapons development and
deployments and refuse to do so.
Allowing adversaries to observe our nuclear testing activities is
allowing them to derive our methods and procedures, and this destroys
deterrence. As chairman of the House Armed Services Strategic Forces
Subcommittee, one of my priorities has been to strengthen and protect
our nuclear arsenal.
In the world today, nothing could jeopardize our national security
more than losing this advantage. For that reason, I encourage my
colleagues to adopt this amendment and protect our nuclear assets.
Madam Chair, I close by saying that I ask that we adopt this
amendment by acclimation, and I yield back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Lamborn).
The amendment was agreed to.
Amendment No. 43 Offered by Mrs. Luna
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 43
printed in part B of House Report 118-242.
Mrs. LUNA. Madam Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.
The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:
At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the
following:
Sec. __. The salary of Michael Connor, Assistant Secretary
of the Army for Civil Works, shall be reduced to $1.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 756, the gentlewoman
from Florida (Mrs. Luna) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Florida.
Mrs. LUNA. Madam Chair, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
The Army Corps has halted beach renourishment projects in Florida due
to the perpetual public easement access policy. This is now affecting
more than nine counties in Florida where the Corps has refused to
renourish our beaches without stripping property rights from every
homeowner, an unattainable requirement.
The Corps has renourished Florida's beaches for the past two decades
using
[[Page H5132]]
temporary construction easements to proceed with beach renourishment.
The Corps is now going back and enforcing this new policy dating back
to 1996, but it has not enforced the same policy for the past two
decades. They refuse to address the threat of shore erosion while
continuing to watch our beaches disappear before our very eyes.
Numerous members of the Florida delegation have reached out to
Assistant Secretary Conner at the Corps to resolve this issue. The
unelected bureaucrats at the Army Corps of Engineers have a different
agenda. They have stonewalled every single one of us every single step
of the way. The Corps has neither followed up nor followed through on
proceeding with scheduled beach renourishment projects where we are in
dire need due to damage from recent hurricanes.
If the Army Corps does nothing, our beaches will continue to
dissipate and our homes will be susceptible to destruction.
The truth is, the Army Corps did not require perpetual easements
before, and they do not need them now. The responsibility for the
inevitable degradation of Florida beaches, marine life, and economy
will rest entirely with the Army Corps of Engineers.
I do not know who the Army Corps works for, but it is clear that it
is not the American people. This amendment puts the Army Corps on
notice for their shameful neglect of Floridians and forces them to get
to work on restoring our beaches.
Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
Ms. KAPTUR. Madam Chair, I rise in opposition to the amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Ohio is recognized for 5
minutes.
Ms. KAPTUR. Madam Chair, this amendment the gentlewoman has offered
raises serious constitutional issues and may amount to an
unconstitutional bill of attainder.
This is not the way to handle policy disputes, with Michael Conner,
the Assistant Secretary of the Army for civil works.
This amendment prioritizes, I am sad to say, legislative theater over
the American people, and it has no chance of becoming law.
Madam Chair, I strongly urge my colleagues to vote against this
harmful amendment, and I reserve the balance of my time.
Mrs. LUNA. Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
Ms. KAPTUR. Madam Chair, I yield to the gentleman from Tennessee (Mr.
Fleischmann), the chair of the Energy and Water Subcommittee.
Mr. FLEISCHMANN. Madam Chair, I thank the ranking member for
yielding.
While I can completely understand the frustrations many of my
colleagues may experience in some of their dealings with some of the
aspects and personnel in the executive branch, respectfully, I think
reducing the salaries to a dollar is not likely to solve the problem.
In fact, it may create even more problems in a challenging environment.
So with all due respect to my colleague from Florida, I urge my
colleagues to oppose this amendment.
Ms. KAPTUR. Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentlewoman from Florida (Mrs. Luna).
The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes
appeared to have it.
Ms. KAPTUR. Madam Chair, I demand a recorded vote.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further
proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from Florida
will be postponed.

Amendment No. 44 Offered by Mrs. Luna
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 44
printed in part B of House Report 118-242.
Mrs. LUNA. Madam Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.
The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:
At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the
following:
Sec. __. None of the funds made available by this Act may
be used to implement or enforce Corps of Engineers memorandum
CERE-AP, issued by the South Atlantic division on July 9,
1996, relating to ``Approval of Perpetual Beach Storm Damage
Reduction Easement as a Standard Estate''.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 756, the gentlewoman
from Florida (Mrs. Luna) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Florida.
Mrs. LUNA. Madam Chair, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
The Army Corps has halted many beach renourishment projects in
Florida. It is now affecting nine counties. Ultimately, in our eyes,
this 1996 policy is completely out of date and needs to be defunded.
Obviously we have massive concerns, to include habitat for endangered
species in my community; a number of private homeowners that will have
their properties destroyed; and, in addition to that, it is going to
financially impact our community, as much of our income for that area
depends on travel as well as our beaches.
I am asking for support for this amendment. I think that it is
something that would benefit not just my constituents, but many of
those in Florida.
Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
Ms. KAPTUR. Madam Chair, I rise in opposition to this amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Ohio is recognized for 5
minutes.
Ms. KAPTUR. Madam Chair, this amendment would prohibit funds for the
Corps of Engineers to implement or enforce guidance from the 1996 memo
called Approval of Perpetual Beach Storm Damage Reduction Easement As a
Standard Estate. That is engineering language. While this may sound
like a lot of jargon, it is actually an attempt to have one area of
Florida treated differently than other areas.
Beach renourishment is an important function of the Corps of
Engineers and includes the adding of sediment onto or directly adjacent
to an eroding beach, something that our country on many coasts now is
experiencing. The Corps of Engineers generally requires that real
estate easements are granted when performing work, which makes sense,
because the taxpayers are footing the bill for the improvement.
Further, it seems particularly of interest to taxpayers that, if our
taxpayer dollars are improving private property, then there should be
an easement provided.
In this case, that wasn't required in the past, but the Corps of
Engineers realized it wasn't following standard procedures and decided
to implement that going forward.
This really comes down to one basic question: Do we want to treat one
area of the country differently than all the rest of the areas are
supposed to be treated? I believe we should strive for consistency in
implementing the laws and regulations of this country, especially when
it comes to projects funded with taxpayer dollars.
For these reasons, I urge my colleagues to vote against this
amendment.
Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentlewoman from Florida (Mrs. Luna).
The amendment was agreed to.
Amendment No. 45 Offered by Mr. McCormick
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 45
printed in part B of House Report 118-242.
Mr. McCORMICK. Madam Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.
The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:
At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the
following:
Sec. __. None of the funds made available by this Act may
be used to close the Toto Creek, Bolding Mill, Duckett Mill,
Old Federal, Van Pugh South Campground, Sawnee, or Bald Ridge
Creek campgrounds located at Lake Sidney Lanier, Georgia.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 756, the gentleman
from Georgia (Mr. McCormick) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Georgia.
Mr. McCORMICK. Madam Chair, I rise to offer my amendment No. 45 to
H.R. 4394, the Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies
Appropriations Act for fiscal year 2024.
[[Page H5133]]
My amendment No. 45 prevents the Army Corps of Engineers from closing
campgrounds around Lake Lanier. My amendment will ensure that these
campgrounds are open for my constituents and for people all over the
country to enjoy the outdoors of Georgia's Sixth District.
Lake Lanier is the most visited lake of the 464 federally operated
lakes in the United States, with well over 10 million visitors from all
over the country annually. The Army Corps of Engineers runs the lake
and the campgrounds and parks surrounding it.
Over the past summer, the Corps suggested they close some of the
campgrounds around the lake citing the lack of appropriations and need
for maintenance. Congress provided $8.31 billion in annual
appropriations for 2023, which was 26 percent above the fiscal year
2023 Presidential budget request. Frankly, the Corps seems to have not
properly budgeted.
This is Big Government at its finest, wasteful, always asking for
more, and never trying to save or be more efficient. The Army Corps
must do better by focusing on the needs of the community where it
operates. The more control locally, the better.
The families of Georgia's Sixth, as well as all those who seek to
visit Lake Lanier, should not have to bear the consequences of
mismanagement of funds. These campgrounds must remain open.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Ms. KAPTUR. Madam Chair, I rise in opposition to the amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Ohio is recognized for 5
minutes.
Ms. KAPTUR. This amendment prohibits funds provided by this act from
closing campgrounds or parks operated by the Army Corps of Engineers
and located at or around Lake Sidney Lanier, Georgia.
I can certainly understand the strong interest in preventing the
Corps from closing campgrounds and parks in a particular area. Frankly,
I wish my area had one, but we don't have Corps facilities like that.
The gentleman has been blessed.
The Corps of Engineers is one of the Nation's leading Federal
providers of outdoor recreation. Its recreation sites receive 262
million visits each year and include more than 400 lake and river
projects in 43 States. Unfortunately, the Corps of Engineers'
recreation funding has been declining in recent years.
I support the notion that we do not want the Corps to begin closing
recreation sites due to lack of funding. However, this is an issue that
affects hundreds of sites across dozens of States. I do not believe we
here today should begin the practice of using funding prohibitions to
carve out special designations, but instead should develop a
comprehensive solution, fair to all regions across our Nation, to
address the challenge of funding the Corps' recreation sites.
I would welcome the opportunity to work with the gentleman on that
and obviously the chair of the full committee.
For this reason, I oppose the amendment at this time, but look
forward to working with my colleagues to develop a solution to the
larger problem. Maybe we can even give a little attention to the Great
Lakes. Wouldn't that be great?
Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. McCORMICK. Madam Chair, I am glad it is agreed that this is a
problem nationwide. I am focused on my district, however. I think I am
the representation for my district.
I think, in fiscal year 2023, the operations and management budget
for the Army Corps was 11 percent more than the previous year, at $5.08
billion instead of $4.57 billion, which makes our case that there is no
reason to use these funds to close the most popular destination for
people from all over to come to our lake in our district.
Therefore, Madam Chair, I now, more than ever, think it is important
to protect our outdoors. Keep the campgrounds around Lake Lanier open
and accessible to the public.
Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentleman from Georgia (Mr. McCormick).
The amendment was agreed to.
Amendment No. 46 Offered by Mr. Norman
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 46
printed in part B of House Report 118-242.
Mr. NORMAN. Madam Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.
The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:
At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the
following:
Sec. __. None of the funds made available by this Act may
be used to carry out the final rule titled ``Energy
Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for
Manufactured Housing'' (88 Fed. Reg. 32728 (May 31, 2022)).
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 756, the gentleman
from South Carolina (Mr. Norman) and a Member opposed each will control
5 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from South Carolina for 5 minutes.
Mr. NORMAN. Madam Chair, my amendment would prohibit funding for the
Biden administration's rule titled, ``Energy Conservation Program:
Energy Conservation Standards for Manufactured Housing.'' It would
prohibit the Department of Energy from carrying out regulations that
increase the regulatory burdens.
This is a topic that I am very familiar with. I met with the
manufacturers of some manufactured housing. For those who don't know,
manufactured housing is built in an enclosed environment. What they
have done with the passage of the regulations would put the most
affordable housing out of business, like changing the rafter sizes from
2 by 2s, 2 by 4s to 2 by 10s or 2 by 8s, 2 by 6s. It is just not
practically feasible to do this.
Who would be against the title of an energy conservation program?
What this does is much deeper than what this title says.
In May 2022, the DOE developed the energy standards for manufactured
homes that would raise the price of new manufactured homes by, in
total, thousands of dollars, which would be passed onto the homeowners
from cost increases that is far in excess of any return that they would
get from the energy savings. Since then, the costs of these DOE
standards have become even higher as mortgage rates have increased
dramatically.
The standards would limit consumer choices and severely threaten the
affordability of new manufactured homes, and this is the most
affordable home that the country is now putting on the market. Stick-
built homes or building custom homes, as we did in the old days, are
just not feasible now.
Manufactured housing represents one of the best opportunities for
helping families realize the American Dream, and it counts for roughly
6 percent of the housing stock, this being the largest source of
unsubsidized affordable housing in the country.
In South Carolina, one in five South Carolina families lives in a
manufactured home. The average price of a new manufactured home is
$75,000. The median income of a manufactured home buyer in South
Carolina is about 30,000. The availability of affordable manufactured
homeownership is in jeopardy if this new regulation is put into effect.
We shouldn't trade off housing affordability for the sake of energy
efficiency, which will limit the dream of homeownership.
Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Norman).
The amendment was agreed to.

Amendment No. 47 Offered by Mr. Norman
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 47
printed in part B of House Report 118-242.
Mr. NORMAN. Madam Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.
The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:
At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the
following:
Sec. __. None of the funds made available by this Act may
be used for the Department of Energy Office of Science's
Office of Scientific Workforce Diversity, Equity, and
Inclusion.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 756, the gentleman
[[Page H5134]]
from South Carolina (Mr. Norman) and a Member opposed each will control
5 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from South Carolina.
Mr. NORMAN. Madam Chair, my amendment would prohibit funding for
policies that advance the Biden administration's radical DEI agenda,
diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Specifically, my amendment would prohibit the use of funds for the
Department of Energy's Office of Scientific Workforce Diversity,
Equity, and Inclusion. This office's mission is to promote diverse,
equitable, and inclusive workplaces. Now, even science must bow to
equity and inclusion. Science should be rooted in fact and research,
not wokeism.
We have seen what happens when DOE prioritizes diversity and
inclusion over all else. It results in hiring nonbinary nuclear
officials like Sam Brinton, who uses they/them pronouns to address his
cohorts.
It is time to be serious. We cannot waste taxpayer dollars funding an
office of science whose sole purpose is to promote diversity, equity,
and inclusion over science.
Madam Chair, I urge my colleagues to support my amendment, and I
reserve the balance of my time.
Ms. KAPTUR. Madam Chair, I rise in strong opposition to this
amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Ohio is recognized for 5
minutes.
Ms. KAPTUR. Madam Chair, as I understand it, this amendment prohibits
the use of funds for the Department of Energy's Office of Scientific
Workforce Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
This bill already includes harmful riders that show Republicans are
not interested in bills that can gain bipartisan support and become
law.
During our full committee markup--I remember it well--Republicans
added a provision that prohibits funds for any diversity, equity, and
inclusion office, program, or training. The underlying bill already
includes section 606 that prohibits funds related to advancing racial
equity and support for underserved communities and related to
diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in the Federal
workforce.
In addition, section 605 of the underlying bill prohibits any
activities related to ``critical race theory'' that, as we heard during
the markups when I asked the question, none of my Republican colleagues
could even define. I don't see a definition in your presentation here
today.
How many times do the individuals on the other side of the aisle need
to emphasize that they do not like the words ``diversity, equity, and
inclusion?''
I know when we were educated, we were always taught about ``e
pluribus unum,'' out of many, one. That is what makes our Nation great,
that we aren't just one widget, that, in fact, our common experience is
our shared heritages, wherever they might be from. It makes us a more
interesting place, and it also connects us to the broader world beyond
our shores.
I really do not understand why these provisions are necessary on an
energy and water bill, and I hope that my colleagues would stop
targeting those who may be different from themselves--or they might
think they are--and embrace acceptance or at least tolerance of others.
Madam Chair, I urge my colleagues to reject this amendment, and I
yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. NORMAN. Madam Chair, I think my good friends on the left don't
realize the cost of DEI is borne by the businesses in this country now
more than ever when they are paying double and triple for gas and have
supply chain shortages, interest rates at a 40-year high, and inflation
that we have never seen the likes of.
We have seen what DEI does in the military. The military is down 25
to 30 percent. If you want a definition, define for me the pronouns
``they'' and ``them.'' If you are referring to your fellow coworkers as
``they'' and ``them,'' does that make sense? No, that is the stupidest,
craziest idea to even entertain.
People are trying to put food on the table, trying to protect their
loved ones, and you are really promoting this with a price tag? You all
ought to be ashamed of yourselves for doing this at a time when America
is struggling like never before.
It has a price tag to it, and to even have to discuss this is really
unbelievable in today's world.
Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Norman).
The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes

Amendment No. 48 Offered by Mr. Norman
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 48
printed in part B of House Report 118-242.
Mr. NORMAN. Madam Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.
The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:
At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the
following:
Sec. ___. None of the funds made available by this Act may
be used for the Interagency Working Group on the Social Cost
of Greenhouse Gases.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 756, the gentleman
from South Carolina (Mr. Norman) and a Member opposed each will control
5 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from South Carolina.
Mr. NORMAN. Madam Chair, this is my amendment, which is similar to
what we talked about before on the DEI lunacy. My amendment would
prohibit funds from being used by the Interagency Working Group on the
Social Cost of Greenhouse Gases.
The interagency working group was originally convened by the Obama
administration before being disbanded by the Trump administration and
reimposed through Biden's radical climate Executive Order No. 13990.
Democrats use the social cost of greenhouse gas metrics to justify
sweeping climate policies and strict regulations.
I will add that President Biden, when asked what the main concerns
and threats for America are, mentioned climate change. We have people
being blown up over in Israel, and his focus is climate change.
Madam Chair, I urge my colleagues to support my amendment and ensure
we don't waste valuable tax dollars and resources to fund the Biden
administration's radical climate agenda.
The other thing I would add is we have to, for dollars that are just
vaguely named in these bills, see where the money actually goes. I
think America would be astounded.
Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
Ms. KAPTUR. Madam Chair, I rise in strong opposition to this
amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Ohio is recognized for 5
minutes.
Ms. KAPTUR. Madam Chair, this amendment would prohibit funds for the
Interagency Working Group on the Social Cost of Greenhouse Gases.
In my part of the country, we recognize what greenhouse gases are. We
have to contain methane at many landfills that have let that stuff
belch out into the atmosphere. The satellites that take photos of the
Earth from a distance can show us that when we weren't conscious of
greenhouse gases, we were breaking through the ozone layer, and we have
been able to heal that over time with concerted effort. Those who care
to know about greenhouse gases have plenty of evidence around us.
We know that the work of this particular group is crucial to making
sure the government accounts for the potential impacts of government
actions on the climate.
Now, I just left a group of farmers back in Ohio, and I can tell you
that their fields are being washed out because of added rainfall at a
level they have never seen before.
We have the saltwater creeping up the Mississippi River right now. I
was just talking to one of the Members on the other side of the aisle
yesterday concerned about Baton Rouge and what is happening with the
ocean and saltwater coming north. This has never happened before. This
is very unusual.
Whether it is gases in the air--I think of Canada this past summer.
In
[[Page H5135]]
my part of the country, we never had the kind of fog, I call it, that
came from those forest fires down into our region and even made it here
to Washington, D.C., and down to the panhandle. This is all new.
As I have said, it is undeniable that we are witnessing growing
weather events stemming from climate change occurring in real time,
even to the point where we can see it with our own eyes.
As of the end of August, there have been more than 23 disasters in
2023 alone costing at least $1 billion each. With the costs of trying
to pick up after these terrible events, whether we are talking about
Hawaii or other places in our country that have been hit hard, our
homeland security and disaster assistance accounts have tripled because
of what is going on.
We know that the events this year have exceeded the previous records
set in 2020, and we still have a few more months to go before this year
is done. We don't have the luxury to pretend that climate change isn't
impacting us--whatever name you call it--or that our actions aren't
somehow related to it.
Tell the American citizens who lost businesses or homes and loved
ones from hurricanes, wildfires, and other recent natural disasters,
and those who continue to face unrelenting flooding in the Midwest,
that there are no costs from climate change because there sure are.
It is already past time for aggressive action to address climate
change and its impacts.
The truth is that it is having catastrophic social and economic
impacts here in the United States and across the globe, and these are
real and unrelenting. Pretending that it doesn't exist simply won't
make it go away.
Madam Chair, I strongly urge my colleagues to vote against this
harmful amendment and would enjoy talking to the gentleman at any time
about my part of the country and what we endure. From what I see in
your part of the country, you have issues there, as well.
Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. NORMAN. Madam Chair, I am glad the gentlewoman mentioned forest
fires. If you talk to any forester, this is something we could have a
direct impact on.
Do you know how much thatch is causing a lot of these fires? Thatch,
in a lot of cases, is this high, and the environmentalists won't let
them cut some dead trees and won't let them take the thatch out. How
stupid is that? It defies logic.
You mentioned the oceans. Try to explain to anybody in this country
how man is going to control the oceans.
We are all for clean water and clean air, but the price tag that is
put on these programs that are paying some bureaucrat to give his
opinion is, again, lunacy at its highest at a time in this country when
Americans cannot afford it.
I promise in your district, if you talk to your constituents and put
the price tag on it, I think they would have a different opinion than
your President saying that climate change is the biggest existential
threat in this country. There are far greater things than that.
Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.

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:
Sec. __. None of the funds made available by this Act may
be used to consider the social cost of greenhouse gases in
the development and implementation of a budget for a Federal
agency, in any Federal procurement processes, or when
preparing an environmental review pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.).
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 756, the gentleman
from South Carolina (Mr. Norman) and a Member opposed each will control
5 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from South Carolina.
Mr. NORMAN. Madam Speaker, this is similar to the other amendments we
have been talking about. This particular amendment, 49, prohibits the
use of funds for the consideration of the social cost of greenhouse
gases in the development and implementation of budgets, Federal
procurement processes, or environmental reviews.
I don't know how you calculate that, but the dollars are going toward
it. President Biden is directing agencies to consider the social cost
of greenhouse gases in the development and implementation of budgets in
the Federal procurement process.
Democrats use the social cost of greenhouse gas metrics to justify
funding sweeping climate policies and strict regulations.
Where is it legitimately going to? To my good friends on the left, if
it were coming out of your paycheck, I think you would probably have a
different opinion of where the money should be used.
This is, again, similar to what we have been talking about. It is
similar to what we face in the Financial Services Committee where
groups are demanding banks, banks that loan money, fill out 500-page
reports on the carbon imprint that banks have. How stupid is that?
Again, this is down the same lines we have talked about.
Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
Ms. KAPTUR. Madam Chair, I rise in strong opposition to this

don't ignore Mother Nature.
I strongly urge my colleagues to vote against this harmful amendment,
and I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. NORMAN. Madam Chair, I wish during a lot of the hearings I have
been to and the advocates for us humans controlling the climate and
those like Al Gore who says, ``the oceans are boiling''--he literally
said that--it fits right in line with this radical agenda that America
can't afford now.
I urge support of my amendment, and I yield back the balance of my

Mr. NORMAN. Madam Chair, my amendment is similar to the others that I
have proposed. It prohibits funding for the American Climate Corps that
the Biden administration recently established through an executive
order. Thank God it is not binding after his administration is gone.
The Biden administration describes the American Climate Corps as a
workforce training and service initiative for careers in the clean
energy and climate reliance economy. The corps will focus on equity and
environmental justice.
Instead of funding Democrats woke climate agenda, why don't you focus
on a pro-growth agenda that spurs the economy and prioritizes American
energy independence?
Imagine if this administration reversed course and instead of buying
it from OPEC countries that hate America, maybe buying it from our
country where we have a 100-year supply, if not more, and become energy
independent.

I am in the construction business. I haven't seen too many trucks

I urge passage of my amendment, and I reserve the balance of my time.
Ms. KAPTUR. Madam Chair, I rise in opposition to this amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Ohio is recognized for 5
minutes.
Ms. KAPTUR. Madam Chair, here is another amendment that prohibits
something else. The gentleman's amendment would prohibit funding for
the American Climate Corps.
I have been a long-time supporter of the idea of engaging young
Americans in helping to build our country forward as the original
Civilian Conservation Corps did many, many years ago.
People who became a part of that saw a part of America that they had
never seen before. They made friends. They learned new skills. It gave
people a pride in our Nation that was incalculable.
The whole intent of the American Climate Corps is to engage young
Americans in helping our Nation build forward, whether they would be
weatherizing homes, planting trees, installing solar infrastructure,
mitigating coastal erosion, permitting fires and flooding--the
gentleman talked about some of the needs of our national forests--
constructing and maintaining public trails, and so much more.
From the western Great Plains to the coast and Great Lakes, we are
witnessing the wreckage brought about by changing climate with a
ferocity that knows no bounds.
Our success in tackling this challenge will require bold and
innovative strategies and connecting to the younger generation.
Last month when the President announced the American Climate Corps,
he talked about training young people in high-demand skills for jobs in
the clean energy economy, as well.
This program will give a new generation of Americans the skills that
our grandparents had, which are necessary to access good-paying jobs
that are aligned with high-quality employment opportunities after they
complete their paid training and service. It is really a program for
America and for the next generation, and I would welcome that.
It used to be that most persons had someone in their family who
joined the U.S. military. Today, less than 1 percent of America's
families are connected to the U.S. military.
We have to find other means to engage our younger people in patriotic
service, and this is one of those. I believe we must continue to invest
in America's next generation, our future workforce, and this is such a
positive way to do it.
I strongly urge my colleagues to vote against this amendment, and I
yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. NORMAN. Madam Chair, to my friends on the other side of the
aisle, I agree with you. The people that joined the corps, they are
well-meaning people.
They work. They build trails, as you mentioned. They fix houses up.
Their motives are pure, or they wouldn't do that. It requires physical
labor. I have met them on-site.
What this does has nothing to do with the good that they do. It just
burdens them. In America, we have become the country we were in the
past not by guaranteeing equal outcomes but by guaranteeing equal
opportunity.
What I want to do is grant the opportunity for people to join the
American Climate Corps to reach their highest potential.
It is not putting the money or making them fill out some crazy form
like the banks are having to do. For those who have been in the private
sector, they would be with us at every level to stop this kind of
rampant spending of our tax dollars.
I urge support of this amendment, and I yield back the balance of my
time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Norman).
The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes
appeared to have it.
Ms. KAPTUR. Madam Chair, I demand a recorded vote.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further
proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from South
Carolina will be postponed.
Amendment No. 51 Offered by Mr. Norman
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 51
printed in part B of House Report 118-242.
Mr. NORMAN. Madam Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.
The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:
At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the
following:
Sec. __. The salary of Jennifer M. Granholm, Secretary of
the Department of Energy, shall be reduced to $1.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 756, the gentleman
from South Carolina (Mr. Norman) and a Member opposed each will control
5 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from South Carolina.
Mr. NORMAN. Madam Chair, my amendment cuts the salary of the
Secretary of the Department of Energy, Jennifer Granholm, to $1. The
job that she has done is far below standard by any measure.
She testified and promoted a company in Greenville--my State, not in
my district but my State--that she was a former board member on and
requested funds from the American taxpayer.
I have learned now with bureaucrats who make wrong decisions, the
only way you deal with them is to cut their salary. I recommend that
her salary be cut to a dollar.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Ms. KAPTUR. Madam Chair, I rise in opposition.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Ohio is recognized for 5
minutes.
Ms. KAPTUR. Madam Chair, this amendment raises serious constitutional
issues and may amount to an unconstitutional bill of attainder. This is
not the way to handle policy disputes with the Secretary of Energy for
our country.
This amendment prioritizes legislative theater over the American
people and doesn't have a chance of becoming law.
I strongly urge my colleagues to vote against this harmful amendment,
and I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. NORMAN. Madam Chair, I yield the balance of my time to the
gentleman from Michigan (Mr. James), my good friend.
Mr. JAMES. Madam Chair, this is not political theater, far from it.
This is accountability to the American people.
I rise today in support of this amendment to reduce the salary of
Secretary Granholm to $1 because I cannot make her pay us back.
The job of the Secretary of Energy is to secure American energy
independence, but she is not securing American energy independence. She
is depleting it, and she should be held accountable to the people for
failing to deliver on her job.
You see, Madam Speaker, before Ms. Granholm was Energy Secretary, she
promoted the same failed policies while serving as Governor of Michigan
and presided over what is now known as Michigan's Lost Decade, a legacy
that we are still paying for at home.
She presided over the mass exodus of our jobs and our children from
our State. She presided over the crippling of our economy, foreclosures
of so many of our homes, and the closing of our businesses.
She embarrassed us with the RASCO fiasco when she offered $9 million
in tax credits to promote a job program that actually went to a
convicted embezzler who lived out of a trailer.
You know what she did when she was done gutting and embarrassing our
State, Madam Speaker? She left. She got on a plane and headed for
California where she took a faculty position at Berkeley while leaving
Michiganders at home struggling in the snow.
Madam Chair, while this amendment today is not about her time in
Michigan, past behavior is the best indicator of future performance.
We should be appalled but not surprised by the same malpractice,
malfeasance, and mistreatment of the office that she assumes currently,
and she has inflicted serious pain on the
[[Page H5137]]
American people and jeopardizes our American independence moving
forward.
Since this administration took office, Madam Chair, we have gone from
energy independence to energy reliance on dictators and despots around
the world.
Secretary Granholm sold off our Strategic Petroleum Reserve and sold
out Americans and our national security. All the worse, she went on
television and laughed in our faces just before gas prices hit their
peak.
The American people's pain is their plan, Madam Chair. They are
making gas unaffordable and are trading away our national resources to
China, our number one adversary, all so they can implement their pipe
dream of forced EV transition. I won't call it treason, but many in my
district have.
The policies she is seeking to impose, the billions of dollars in
penalties for our autos through her EV mandates would crater the number
one industry in Michigan.
We do not fear the future, but we demand to be a part of it. Madam
Chair, the consequence of her failures is the reason folks in my
district are standing on a picket line right now.
The unrealistic, untimely, and unjust forced EV mandates she supports
is building the Chinese middle class on the backs of middle-class
families in Michigan and around America.
It is time for her to pay, and Congress is holding her accountable.
This is the essence of what the Article I branch of government should
be doing. It is holding an out-of-control administration accountable to
the people. She failed in Michigan, and we will not let her fail
America.
This is a warning to the American people that policies that hurt them
will stop with the 118th Congress.
{time} 1400
These policies have not worked anywhere. They have tried and they
have failed. In the real world, failure means your employer takes your
pay. This town needs to start operating a little bit more like the real
world.
Madam Chair, that is why I support this resolution, and I encourage
all of my colleagues to support it as well.
Mr. NORMAN. Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
Ms. KAPTUR. Madam Chair, I would say in reaction to what I just heard
on the floor here, there must be two Jennifer Granholms because the one
I know is simply exceptional.
Madam Chair, I yield to the gentleman from Tennessee (Mr.
Fleischmann), the chair of the Energy and Water Subcommittee.
Mr. FLEISCHMANN. Madam Chair, I thank my ranking member for yielding
to me, and I did hear both of my colleagues. Respectfully, I disagree
with this amendment.
I do not think that attempting to reduce salaries to a dollar is
likely to address this problem, and it may very well create more
problems than it attempts to solve.
Madam Chair, I respectfully oppose the amendment and urge my
colleagues to oppose the same.
Ms. KAPTUR. Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is now on the amendment offered by the
gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Norman).
The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the noes
appeared to have it.
Mr. JAMES. Madam Chair, I demand a recorded vote.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further
proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from South
Carolina will be postponed.
Amendment No. 52 Offered by Mr. Ogles
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 52
printed in part B of House Report 118-242.
Mr. OGLES. Madam Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.
The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:
At the end of the bill (before the short title) insert the
following:
Sec. __. None of the funds made available by this Act may
be used to enforce any COVID-19 mask mandates.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 756, the gentleman
from Tennessee (Mr. Ogles) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Tennessee.
Mr. OGLES. Madam Chair, my amendment prohibits the funds from being
appropriated by this Act for being used to enforce any COVID-19 mask
mandates. Policies involving mandatory masks implementation are not
about safety nor are they about science. Mask mandates are, at their
core, about control.
Dr. Tom Jefferson, a leading epidemiologist who coauthored what The
New York Times opinion section called the most rigorous and
comprehensive analysis of scientific studies conducted on the efficacy
of masks for reducing the spread of respiratory illnesses, including
COVID-19, found that there was no evidence that masks made any
difference.
He found that wearing a mask in public places makes little or no
difference in the number of infections. For my colleagues and friends
on the other side who do privately believe that masks or a mask mandate
should be in place, I would say that unfortunately mask mandates
include all masks. Yet, the gold standard, N95 masks, have been proven
ineffective.
Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
Ms. KAPTUR. Madam Chair, I rise in opposition to this amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman is recognized for 5 minutes.
Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Chairman, his amendment would prohibit any funds to
enforce COVID-19 mask mandates.
I must say, America used to focus on big issues. I remember as a
child we tried to figure out how to eradicate polio coast-to-coast, and
you know what, we did it.
America was inspired by a great a President, John Kennedy, to land a
man on the moon, and we did. America did it. We worked together to
defeat Soviet communism, and guess what, we did it. We have remnants of
that tyrannical regime still seated, and history will show whether we
meet the challenge or not. But most of America wants to defeat Vladimir
Putin's unconscionable invasion, unprovoked to the adjoining nation of
Ukraine.
This amendment is one more controversial poison pill policy rider
dealing with face masks. You know what, I didn't really come to
Congress to worry about the face masks. I find the majority's odd
interest in this peculiar.
Preventing diseases reduces healthcare costs, such as
hospitalizations, pharmaceuticals, and benefits employers by resulting
in less employee absenteeism. I find it very odd--here we are moving
into Halloween and people are spending millions of dollars on masks to
go all around the country and parade around in neighborhoods in masks.
Yet, when we talk about facial masks to fight the COVID-19 virus,
which is a wicked one, it has been politicized to a level that it is
almost a theater of the absurd.
From January 3, 2020, to September 27, 2023, there were how many
deaths in our country from COVID?
Madam Chair, there were 1,127,152 deaths from COVID-19 in our country
alone. That is 1,127,152 deaths. Some of the people who died we knew
and loved, and some were people serving in this room.
Madam Chair, I strongly urge my colleagues to vote against this
harmful amendment and to focus on great quests, not ridiculousness.
Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. OGLES. Mr. Chair, I too believe in reaching for the moon, for
achieving big things. We eradicated polio using science. We went to the
moon using science. Mask mandates were based off of fear and control.
Dr. Jefferson goes on to say in his study that policymakers who
impose mask mandates on Americans were convinced by nonrandomized
studies--flawed observational studies not rooted in science. It was
about control.
Mr. Chairman, I find, as a Member of Congress, any action of this
body that infringes on liberty to be a problem, any action by this body
that infringes on law to be a problem, and any action by this body that
infringes the Constitution of this great country to be a problem.
Mr. Chairman, I stand here in great opposition to using money to take
the
[[Page H5138]]
liberty away from hardworking Americans of freedom that has been fought
for and bled for, and I will not rest.
Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR (Mr. Moore of Alabama). The question is on the
amendment offered by the gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. Ogles).
The amendment was agreed to.
Amendment No. 53 Offered by Mr. Ogles
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 53
printed in part B of House Report 118-242.
Mr. OGLES. 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:
At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the
following:
Sec. __. None of the funds made available by this Act may
be used to finalize the rule entitled ``Energy Conservation
Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Automatic
Commercial Ice Makers'' published by the Department of Energy
in the Federal Register on September 25, 2023 (88 Fed. Reg.
65628).
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 756, the gentleman
from Tennessee (Mr. Ogles) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Tennessee.
Mr. OGLES. Mr. Chairman, well, here we go again, the administration's
war on appliances continues.
First it was gas stoves, then it was water heaters, and now it is ice
makers. I live in the country; I like a glass of iced tea--operative
word there is iced.
The Department of Energy has proposed a rule to impose stringent
regulations on commercial automatic ice makers in the name of energy
efficiency. For my fellow Americans watching this amendment debate, if
someone knocks on the door of your local business and tells you they
are from the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, don't
answer.
We have seen this play before. In 2014, the Obama administration
pushed a rule to force different sectors of the American economy to
comply with more restrictive energy standards--targeting hotels,
targeting hospitals, targeting schools, office buildings, supermarkets,
and restaurants.
At the time, the proposed rule was projected to cost manufacturers
$24 million over a 30-year period, about a quarter of industry's
profits. That is what this rule would do. It is time to get the
government out of the ice making business and get back to the business
of achieving great things.
Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Chairman, I rise to oppose the gentleman's amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Ohio is recognized for 5
minutes.
Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Chairman, the Department of Energy is charged with
implementing congressionally directed energy efficiency standards. So
the Department is fulfilling the obligations in law. Now, if
individuals want to comment on that there is a way to do that, to fully
participate in the rulemaking process, and I urge our colleagues to do
that.
Again, the gentleman's interests seem to be rather narrow, and to
create false fears--whether it is masks or whether it is trying to get
better equipment--more energy efficient equipment in the country to
help everyone, businesses that use ice making machines, and homeowners
who have ice making in their home.
This specific rule would save Americans over $44 million in annual
operating costs. That is pretty good. We make American industry more
efficient and we make it cheaper. They save money.
We are trying to act in the interest of the American people. There is
a quote in this Chamber, ``Let us develop the resources of our land,
call forth its powers, build up its institutions, promote all its great
interests and see whether we also in our day and generation may not
perform something worthy to be remembered.'' That is what we should
aspire to.
In saving the American people money in helping them to promote their
companies to save money to make America better, I think that we are on
the right path. I think the gentleman's amendment is misdirected, and I
oppose it.
Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. OGLES. Mr. Chairman, I appreciate my colleague's sentiment, and I
would just say that at a time when we have increased electrification in
this country, at a time when we have continued stress and demand for
electricity in this country--even in Tennessee the lauded and respected
TVA had brownouts this past winter because of the demand for energy.
Rather than increasing our own energy production, rather than
focusing on supporting a new innovative nuclear technology to expand
our ability to be energy independent, to produce more energy, they are
focusing on ice makers.
Mr. Chairman, this is ridiculous. This is absurd. This is nothing
more than a woke Biden administration that is, once again, regulating
and rulemaking against businesses that ultimately will cost consumers
more money.
Mr. Chairman, I would ask for adoption 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 Tennessee (Mr. Ogles).
The amendment was agreed to.

Amendment No. 54 Offered by Mr. Palmer
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 54
printed in part B of House Report 118-242.
Mr. PALMER. 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:
At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the
following:
Sec. __. None of the funds made available by this Act may
be used to implement, administer, or enforce the rule
entitled ``Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation
Standards for Room Air Conditioners'' published by the
Department of Energy in the Federal Register on May 26, 2023
(88 Fed. Reg. 34298).
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 756, the gentleman
from Alabama (Mr. Palmer) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Alabama.
Mr. PALMER. Mr. Chairman, I rise in support of my amendment.
Federal bureaucrats at the Department of Energy are once again
attacking Americans' freedom to choose the appliances that they want in
their homes. They tried to take 50 percent of the gas stoves off the
market. Now, they are coming for your room air-conditioners. My
straightforward amendment would block DOE's overzealous regulation on
room air-conditioner units from taking effect.
Summers in Alabama, as you know, Mr. Chairman, are hot. My
constituents, like millions of Americans, use air-conditioners to fight
this heat. For people who are so concerned about global warming, you
would think they would want to make air-conditioners less expensive,
not more.
I grew up dirt poor, and we couldn't afford an air-conditioner. That
was the case for most of the people we knew where I grew up.
What I am afraid of is that the Biden administration wants us to go
back to those times. This rule fits a pattern of Democratic energy
policies that make life more difficult and more expensive, especially
for low-income and middle-income Americans who will struggle to afford
the up-front costs of more expensive air-conditioning units.
Mr. Chairman, this amendment shows the clear difference in the vision
between House Republicans and the Biden administration and House
Democrats. House Republicans believe in American energy abundance, and
the administration believes in energy restrictions. We believe in
consumer choice, and the administration believes in heavyhanded
government mandates. We believe consumers back home can make their own
decisions, while the administration believes Federal Biden bureaucrats
should decide what Americans can and can't do on a daily basis.
If a consumer wants a more energy-efficient room air-conditioning
unit, they have the freedom to choose one based on what they think is
best, not what the Biden bureaucrats think is best. This rule is
another example of vast government overreach and should be stopped.
[[Page H5139]]
Mr. Chairman, I therefore urge my colleagues to support my amendment,
and I reserve the balance of my time.
Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Chair, I rise in opposition to the amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Ohio is recognized for 5
minutes.
Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Chair, the Department of Energy is charged with
implementing congressionally directed energy efficiency standards, and
I think it is safe to assume that virtually all Americans, let alone
all the people in this room, have benefited from these types of
efficiency standards over the course of their lifetimes.
Today, the typical new room air-conditioner uses 39 percent less
energy than its 1990 counterpart. In that 33-year time span, the
Department of Energy raised the efficiency standard for room air-
conditioners three times, and real results happened.
The Department of Energy estimates that these new standards will save
American families and consumers approximately--are you ready?--$1.5
billion per year on their electricity bills.
Mr. Chair, I urge my colleagues to reject this amendment, and I yield
back the balance of my time.
Mr. PALMER. Mr. Chair, this is another example of bureaucratic
overreach. Congress is pretty clear in its lawmaking, and as we are
finding out, as the Supreme Court takes up these issues, we are trying
to restore legislative authority to this House.
In regard to this amendment, again, as I said, it shows the clear
difference between the vision of the House Republicans and the Biden
administration and the House Democrats.
I think what the American public needs is the opportunity to choose
what they need for their homes, and I believe if we continue down this
path with Republican initiatives on energy, we are going to bring down
energy costs, but we will also respect the right of American citizens
to buy whatever they think they need.
Mr. Chairman, I urge a ``yea'' vote on 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 Alabama (Mr. Palmer).
The amendment was agreed to.
The Acting CHAIR. The Chair understands that amendment No. 55 will
not be offered.
Amendment No. 56 Offered by Mr. Pfluger
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 56
printed in part B of House Report 118-242.
Mr. PFLUGER. 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:
At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the
following:
Sec. ___. The salary of Gene Rodrigues, Assistant
Secretary for Electricity for the Office of Electricity,
shall be reduced to $1.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 756, the gentleman
from Texas (Mr. Pfluger) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Texas.
Mr. PFLUGER. Mr. Chairman, it is unfortunate that we have to be here
to talk about this. As a member of the Energy and Commerce Committee,
as the Representative of one of the most important energy production
areas in the country, this is a national security issue.
The Biden administration's assault on our baseload, dispatchable
generation of electricity has resulted in record-high prices for
consumers and looming resource inadequacies throughout the country, and
it has threatened our grid reliability.
Just a few weeks ago, the Department of Energy's Assistant Secretary
for Electricity, Mr. Rodrigues, testified before the Energy and
Commerce Committee regarding policies to enhance the reliability and
efficiency in powering American homes. I am sad to say that at this
hearing, Mr. Rodrigues, who is the head of electricity at the
Department of Energy, had no idea how much electricity the United
States uses each year. He stated that the reason he was chosen for this
position was not because he was a subject matter expert.
It saddens me to be standing here, but that is just not an acceptable
position, and this glaring lack of knowledge is not okay. It is
unacceptable from the head of the Department of Energy's electricity
division.
This administration has worked every day to transform energy
industries and to push a green agenda that doesn't work, that is not
reliable, that doesn't take into account reliability. Their own named
Assistant Secretary doesn't know how much electricity we use.
When you look at examples of what they have pushed for--a substantial
increase in electric vehicles and other policies--you have to ask the
question: If they don't know how much electricity we currently use,
then will they know how much electricity we would require with their
mandates for electric vehicles?
In Texas alone, if all of our cars were electrified today, just as an
example, the State would need approximately an additional 110 terawatt-
hours of electricity per year, the average annual electricity
consumption of 11 million homes. The added electricity demand would
result in a 30 percent increase over current consumption. That is the
kind of example that I expect Mr. Rodrigues and others within the
Department of Energy to know.
This is a gigantic increase in demand. This administration continues
to put American producers and consumers in a bad situation. It is
critical that we have good leadership at DOE.
Let me make this clear: I want the Assistant Secretary to be
successful. We should all want these people in leadership positions to
be successful. If he succeeds, our country wins. However, when you are
the Assistant Secretary for Electricity and don't know every detail
about electricity in the United States, then you are not succeeding.
It is for that reason that I recommend this amendment to reduce his
salary to $1 and remind DOE of their core mission, which is to help
Americans with reliable and affordable energy.
Mr. Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Chair, I rise in opposition to the amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Ohio is recognized for 5
minutes.
Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Chair, this amendment raises serious constitutional
issues and may amount to an unconstitutional bill of attainder.
This is not the way to handle policy disputes with Mr. Rodrigues, the
Assistant Secretary for Electricity at the Department of Energy's
Office of Electricity. He has very impressive credentials, with over
two decades of work in industry in California and Arizona, parts of our
country that understand the new pressures on producing power. Look at
the forest fires that have occurred out there and the stresses on the
environment that cause millions of people not to have electricity. He
has actually lived in places in our country that have experienced it
first.
He has impressive degrees in law and obviously in business, so I
don't think they are being fair to this gentleman, and this is
certainly not the way to handle this.
This amendment prioritizes legislative theater over the American
people. It has no chance of becoming law.
Mr. Chair, I strongly urge my colleagues to vote against this harmful
amendment, and I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. PFLUGER. Mr. Chair, I yield to the gentleman from Tennessee (Mr.
Fleischmann).
Mr. FLEISCHMANN. Mr. Chairman, I hold my dear colleague and friend
from Texas in the highest esteem. I think he is one of our brightest
and best Members, and he has served so well on the Energy and Commerce
Committee. It is a pleasure and privilege to serve with him. I play
baseball with him, and candidly, he is a much better baseball player
than I am. I trust his judgment, but respectfully, on this issue, I
want to be consistent.
I have opposed reducing salaries to $1 in the previous amendments. He
articulated his issues very well, but I do think this causes a
dangerous, difficult precedent. In that regard, I urge a ``no'' vote.
Mr. PFLUGER. Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time, as well.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the

Amendment No. 57 Offered by Mr. Pfluger
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 57
printed in part B of House Report 118-242.
Mr. PFLUGER. 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:
At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the
following:
Sec. ___. The salary of Andrew Light, Assistant Secretary
of Energy for International Affairs, shall be reduced to $1.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 756, the gentleman
from Texas (Mr. Pfluger) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Texas.
Mr. PFLUGER. Mr. Chair, the most important tool our country has is
energy. It is the underpinning of our economy. It forms a foundational
piece of our national security. We see this playing out in all parts of
the world right now.
The prosperity of our country rests on the abundant natural resources
that we have that no other country has. We are blessed to have those
natural resources.
This has been reaffirmed as Americans have seen the events unfold in
places like Ukraine. Make no mistake, the single biggest important
impetus for Russia's unprovoked attack on Ukraine was the belief that
Vladimir Putin would not weaponize energy, and he did.
We recognize the critical importance of secure, abundant, affordable
resources and affordable energy better than anywhere else. Because we
know what it takes to produce it, we understand how devastating it
would be to lose it, and we see the potential before us if we had the
opportunity to unleash our full energy capabilities.
Our Nation is blessed with natural resources and a strong, innovative
spirit that encapsulates the American character. Nowhere is this more
evident than in my own district with the Permian Basin, which produces
over 40 percent of the country's oil production.
While climate alarmists scream that oil and gas are bad, I feel
confident in saying that if they were serious about reducing carbon
emissions, we would actually produce it here, where we do it much
cleaner, much better, more efficiently, and with higher labor standards
than anywhere else. Don't export that to our adversaries.
Unfortunately, this administration has done just that. They would
rather look to our adversaries for energy than embrace the innovation
that is being done right here at home.
When looking to supply the energy needs for Americans, I respectfully
ask that the President call the mayor of Midland, Texas, not OPEC, for
our energy needs.
At a time when our world is increasingly destabilized, our Nation
needs us to lead from the front. Our domestic energy production is too
important an asset to be left out of our national security toolkit, and
we must use this unique asset not only for our benefit here
domestically but around the world.
LNG, much of which is produced in the Permian Basin--10 percent, by
the way, worldwide--will play the leading role in helping reach
developing nations to provide them with clean, affordable, reliable
energy to power their economies.
Global demand for LNG will continue to increase, with estimates
nearly double what it is now in the next 20 years.
{time} 1430
This is a massive opportunity for our country to lead, and if we
don't have advisers in this administration who think critically about
American energy as a national security tool, the consequences will be
severe.
Under this administration, senior advisers have praised China as a
leader in clean energy, begged OPEC to produce more oil than doing it
here domestically and tried to sabotage the credibility of American
producers here.
That is why I am leading an amendment to reduce the salary of Andrew
Light, the Department of Energy's Assistant Secretary for International
Affairs, to $1. We need the administration to focus on our own
strength, our own inventions, and our own capabilities.
Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Chair, I rise in opposition to the amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Ohio is recognized for 5
minutes.
Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Chair, first of all, the gentleman's amendment raises
serious constitutional issues, and like others this afternoon, may
amount to an unconstitutional bill of attainder. This is really not the
way to handle policy disputes with Andrew Light, Assistant Secretary of
Energy for International Affairs.
First of all, I think I have to say: Energy security for our country
understands the global environment in which we exist and function, and
that is both the commercial marketplace as well as on the defense
ledger.
This is a very, very important job. This gentleman has very broad
experience prior to coming to his current position, even in the area of
atmospheric sciences, trying to understand some of the science as well
as the security issues involved in America remaining energy independent
in perpetuity here at home.
The amendment prioritizes legislative theater again over the American
people. It doesn't have any chance of becoming law, and I strongly urge
my colleagues to vote against this harmful amendment.
Mr. Chair, I yield to the gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. Fleischmann),
Chair of the Energy and Water Development, and Related Agencies
Subcommittee.
Mr. FLEISCHMANN. Mr. Chair, I thank the gentlewoman for yielding to
me.
Mr. Chair, as with the previous amendment, I fully understand and
appreciate my distinguished colleague's frustrations. However, I
respectfully disagree that reducing the salary to a dollar is the way
to address that.
Mr. Chair, I respectfully urge a ``no'' vote on that, and I thank my
esteemed colleague for his amendment.
Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentleman from Texas (Mr. Pfluger).
The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes
appeared to have it.
Ms. KAPTUR. 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 Texas will
be postponed.
Amendment No. 58 Offered by Mr. Rosendale
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 58
printed in part B of House Report 118-242.
Mr. ROSENDALE. 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:
At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the
following:
Sec. ___. The total amount of appropriations made
available by this Act is hereby reduced by $1,553,000,000.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 756, the gentleman
from Montana (Mr. Rosendale) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Montana.
Mr. ROSENDALE. Mr. Chairman, my amendment No. 58 would reduce the
total appropriations for the Department of the Interior, Environment,
and Related Agencies by $1.55 billion, bringing the total cost of the
bill down from nearly $58 billion to $56.4 billion.
I submitted this amendment to get the total cost of this year's
appropriation bills closer to the fiscal year 2022 levels.
I have been traveling around the State of Montana for quite extensive
periods of time over the last several months and I have yet to find a
single person that feels like we didn't have enough spending or
government in fiscal year 2022.
[[Page H5141]]
As a matter of fact, most of them truly believe that we had far too
much government and it was engaged in trying to run their lives and
they did not want to see it anymore.
I believe that the Federal Government had more than enough funding in
FY22 and that it is time to rein in the out-of-control spending. To get
their spending under control, the Federal agencies must begin operating
at the same levels, or at very least, receive only modest increases.
The American people are sick and tired of the D.C. cartel running up
the tab on the American people while our constituents are struggling to
make ends meet.
To be clear, my amendment still allows for modest increases in the
fiscal year 2022 spending for energy and water. I am not trying to
slash funding or cripple necessary infrastructure. I am trying to
ensure that taxpayer dollars are used efficiently and that we get the
government off the path to financial ruin.
Mr. Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
Ms. KAPTUR. Will the gentleman yield?
Mr. ROSENDALE. I yield to the gentlewoman from Ohio.
Parliamentary Inquiry
Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Chair, I have a parliamentary inquiry.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman will state her parliamentary
inquiry.
Ms. KAPTUR. When the gentleman began his remarks, he referred to the
Interior bill. This is the Energy bill. I wonder if the gentleman could
clarify that.
Mr. ROSENDALE. Mr. Chair, I misspoke. This is for Interior. This is
for Interior. Excuse me. Mr. Chair, this is for Energy.
Ms. KAPTUR. I think the Record will have to be corrected.
Mr. FLEISCHMANN. Mr. Chair, I claim time in opposition to the
amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Tennessee is recognized for 5
minutes.
Mr. FLEISCHMANN. Mr. Chair, in regard to the energy and water bill
that is before the House today, I respectfully rise in opposition to
the amendment.
We discussed earlier today in some very strong and positive debates
about the role of the NNSA and the strong nuclear arsenal aspect of the
Department of Energy, which is so critically important, and I debated
against my Democratic colleagues in that regard. That is all part of
this great energy and water bill. It is a wonderful robust bill, not
only for the Department of Energy, but also for the water side of the
bill.
The reduction proposed in this amendment would negatively impact
national security and critical infrastructure programs in the bill. As
I alluded to, this bill has both defense and nondefense spending in it.
The amendment makes no distinction of where the reductions would come
from, instead allowing the Biden administration to administer the
reductions as they see fit. I would not trust the administration to do
that. I think Congress needs to do that. That would likely affect the
NNSA, as I have alluded to, and I cannot respectfully support any
amendment that would jeopardize the balance of this bill, therefore, I
oppose the gentleman's amendment.
Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. ROSENDALE. Mr. Chair, under Secretary Granholm, we have seen
America's energy prices skyrocket with no clear plan to help Americans
other than to further deplete our Strategic Petroleum Reserves.
The Department of Energy has done nothing to show they deserve an
increase in funding from last year. Secretary Granholm routinely speaks
about how her intention is to quickly move away from traditional energy
industries. Many Americans rely on these industries for their
livelihoods. This administration shows a lack of clear consideration of
these people and industries, even as they are necessary during our
transition to clean energy.
Furthermore, the very people that get hurt the most by this reckless
administration's actions are the ones at the lowest end of the income
scale. Quite frankly, if you just look at one section of this
legislation, we don't want to compromise our national defense. One
section, $1.2 billion, the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable
Energy is where the Federal Government is picking winners and losers to
try and develop different types of fuel, including biofuels and
batteries and the Federal Government should not be involved in that.
The free market knows how to do it. They know how to do it the best.
They have demonstrated they know how to do it the most efficiently.
Further, Mr. Chair, I would just like to say that there is no reason
that we cannot remove a meager $1.55 billion from this total bill.
I yield back the balance of my time.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentleman from Montana (Mr. Rosendale).
The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes
appeared to have it.
Mr. FLEISCHMANN. 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 Montana will
be postponed.
Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Chair, I rise as the designee of the gentlewoman from
Connecticut (Ms. DeLauro).
Mr. Chair, I move to strike the last word.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Ohio is recognized for 5
minutes.
Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Chair, I yield 5 minutes to the gentlewoman from
Florida (Ms. Castor).
The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman is recognized for 5 minutes.
Ms. CASTOR of Florida. Mr. Chair, I thank Ranking Member Kaptur for
her leadership in yielding the time and I thank the gentleman from
Tennessee and all the professional staff who have been working hard
over the past day and a half to get appropriations back on track in the
people's House.
Mr. Chair, I rise in opposition to H.R. 4394.
In the midst of all the turmoil across the globe and weeks of GOP
chaos here on Capitol Hill, there is good news to share with the
American people. It is a story of American innovation that is
benefiting our neighbors and communities all across this great country.
Innovation that is putting money back into people's pockets at a time
they really need it.
Over the past year since Democrats passed and President Biden signed
historic laws investing in infrastructure and clean energy and American
workers, the American economy has been booming and our neighbors are
enjoying some lower costs, good-paying jobs are being created, and
folks back home are building safer, healthier, more resilient
communities.
Infrastructure and clean energy are reducing pollution. They are
improving our health. They are countering China's push to control
supply chains, and that is why this GOP bill must fail.
The GOP bill takes America backwards. The GOP bill is a gift to
China. This GOP bill is a recipe for higher energy bills.
The Democrats simply are not going to let the GOP take us backwards.
It has been about 1 year since I stood by President Biden as he signed
the historic clean energy law, the Inflation Reduction Act, and let me
tell you it has been difficult to keep up with all of the announcements
of new American factories and jobs in Ohio, in Tennessee, in Kentucky,
Georgia, South Carolina, Pennsylvania.
I keep a list here. Suniva, a U.S. solar manufacturer in Norcross,
Georgia, announced 240 jobs. They are the ones who fought cheap Chinese
exports.
Stellantis and Samsung are building an EV battery plant in Kokomo,
Indiana, 1,400 workers.
Polaris is building in Huntsville, Alabama, electric utility vehicles
for the Army.
LG Energy Solution and Honda, $3.8 billion for EV battery plants. The
list goes on and on.
America is the envy of the world because we have a clean energy law
that is creating jobs. Along with the infrastructure and the CHIPS and
Science Act, in Florida, we have seen about $500 million in new
investments and about 1,700 jobs. Across the country at the lowest
estimate, there are about 170,000 new jobs.
America is the envy of the world because of our clean energy laws. I
will
[[Page H5142]]
say it again. Our economy is booming, and we are not going to let the
Republicans take us backwards.
Just this morning, it was announced that U.S. gross domestic product,
a measure of all goods and services produced in the United States, rose
at 4.9 percent which was much better than anyone expected. Private
sector investment is flocking to clean energy and infrastructure
projects in your districts and mine.
Clean energy projects don't just create new good-paying jobs. They
also lower energy costs for our neighbors back home and all American
families and we sure do need it.
In the Tampa-St. Pete area that I have the privilege of representing,
electric bills are out of sight. They are astronomical.
{time} 1445
In a single year, this past year, the average Tampa Electric Company
customer saw an increase by a whopping $492. Why? Because they generate
electricity based on oil and gas, primarily.
Thankfully, cleaner, cheaper energy, and energy efficiency is on its
way to lower people's electric bills, and we cannot let the Republicans
gut what we are doing in clean energy to lower electric bills.
Here is another good, new report that Floridians and all Americans
needed.
Yesterday, the Biden administration announced help for consumers to
afford these high energy bills. Florida will receive $106 million in
Federal funds to lower home energy bills. I haven't even mentioned the
high cost of extreme weather. Extreme heat across the country is
hurting farmers. It is fueling fires and costly extreme weather events,
and it is creating higher insurance premiums. Indeed, we just lived
through the hottest summer on record. It was roasting. We have to
reduce pollution that is causing this overheating and the higher cost
on communities.
Mr. Chair, at the appropriate time today, I will offer this motion to
recommit to send this bill back to committee. If the House rules
permitted, I would have offered the motion with an important amendment
to this bill. My amendment would strike two sections, 311 and 312.
Mr. Chair, I include in the Record the text of my amendment.
Ms. Castor of Florida moves to recommit the bill H.R. 4394
to the Committee on Appropriations with the following
amendment.
Strike sections 311 and 312.
Ms. CASTOR of Florida. Mr. Chair, I urge my colleagues to vote
``yes.'' Please tank this bill which takes us backwards.
Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
Amendment No. 59 Offered by Mr. Rosendale
The Acting CHAIR (Mr. Murphy). It is now in order to consider
amendment No. 59 printed in part B of House Report 118-242.
Mr. ROSENDALE. 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:
At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the
following:
Sec. __. The total amount of appropriations made available
by title I of this Act is hereby reduced by $620,000,000.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 756, the gentleman
from Montana (Mr. Rosendale) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Montana.
Mr. ROSENDALE. Mr. Chairman, my amendment No. 59 reduces spending;
specifically, it cuts funding for the Army Corps of Engineers back to
the FY22 levels.
This year's appropriation would increase Army Corps' funding by $910
million from last year. My amendment would reduce funding for the Army
Corps by $620 million in order to bring it back to FY22 levels. That
still leaves in place a $290 million increase.
Unfortunately, the Army Corps of Engineers has a long history of
running over budget and out of schedule. The solution to the Army Corps
wasting taxpayers' money is not to reward them with more money.
Instead, we must demand that the Army Corps of Engineers be more
responsible and more efficient.
In Montana alone, there are multiple instances of the Army Corps'
projects running well beyond their budgets and then turning to State
and local governments to make up the costs.
The Army Corps has shown a complete dereliction of duty by trying to
transfer costs, operation, and maintenance of the Fish Bypass Channel,
which is part of the Lower Yellowstone Irrigation Project.
The Army Corps is shifting operating costs that they agreed to take
on to the farmers and ranchers who are already facing increased costs.
In fact, before the Army Corps of Engineers even cut the ribbon on this
project, it was in need of repairs. I witnessed it myself.
The Lower Yellowstone Irrigation Project was created as the Newlands
Reclamation Act, signed into law in 1902. The purpose of the Lower
Yellowstone Irrigation Project is to divert water from the Yellowstone
River to irrigators in eastern Montana and western North Dakota.
Currently, the Lower Yellowstone Irrigation Project is a dependable,
reliable source of irrigation water for approximately 58,000 acres of
land in four irrigation districts across Montana.
The Army Corps of Engineers proposed a fish bypass channel in Montana
to address the pallid sturgeon populations in the Lower Missouri River
because it was cheaper, not out of the goodness of their heart.
The farmers did not ask for nor did they receive more water or a
better system. No, as a matter of fact, just quite the opposite has
happened. The system doesn't function as well and it costs them more to
operate.
The Army Corps now wants to wash its hands of this project and pass
the cost to 350 families and communities that rely upon this irrigation
to provide for their livelihoods. This burden from the lack of planning
by the Corps of Engineers should only be transferred on to a third
party that is at fault.
The government is the only one who decided to place the pallid
sturgeon on the Endangered Species List and should pay for the
consequences and costs resulting from that action, not the small
community that has relied upon this irrigation for over the past
century.
Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. FLEISCHMANN. Mr. Chairman, I rise to oppose the amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Tennessee is recognized for 5
minutes.
Mr. FLEISCHMANN. Mr. Chair, I wish to thank my friend, the
distinguished gentleman from Montana, for offering this amendment.
I know many of us have frustrations with some of the Army Corps'
projects. However, this reduction by $620 million I must oppose for
several reasons.
The reduction proposed in this amendment would, in my view,
jeopardize critical ongoing Corps of Engineers projects across this
great country, including in my district, the great Chickamauga Lock
Project in the Third District of Tennessee.
All too often the Corps of Engineers fails to finish what it starts.
This bill provides funding to complete a number of significant
projects. A cut of this magnitude would, in my view, undermine public
safety and America's economic competitiveness.
It is in that regard that I respectfully urge my colleagues to oppose
this amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. ROSENDALE. Mr. Chairman, FY 2022, Corps of Engineers, $8.34
billion. FY 2023, $8.66 billion. FY24, $5.57 billion.
We cannot continue to reward bad behavior.
A recent project in Texas, the Ike Dike coastal barrier project, is
currently projected to cost $57 billion, representing the largest civil
engineering project in United States history, which is 68 percent
higher than the recent estimate of $34 billion.
There is not a contractor that has built a home that would have a
homeowner abide by those types of terms and conditions.
How can the Army Corps of Engineers be allowed to receive such a
massive amount of funds when their project estimates are so routinely
off base? Their time frames with which they are estimating to complete
them are just as bad.
A project in Michigan for the New Lock at the Soo is currently
projected
[[Page H5143]]
to cost $394 million more than the Biden administration's proposed
funding.
The list goes on and on and on. We cannot continue to reward this bad
behavior.
Mr. Chairman, once again, we have seen these projects go over budget
and over time. The Corps of Engineers should not be rewarded, and I
urge my colleagues to support this amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the
gentleman from Montana (Mr. Rosendale).
The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the noes
appeared to have it.
Mr. ROSENDALE. 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 Montana will
be postponed.
Amendment No. 60 Offered by Mr. Rosendale
The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 60
printed in part B of House Report 118-242.
Mr. ROSENDALE. Mr. Chair, I rise as the designee of the gentleman
form Texas (Mr. Roy), and 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:
Sec. __. None of the funds made available by this Act may
be used to implement any of the following Executive orders:
(1) Executive Order 13990, relating to Protecting Public
Health and the Environment and Restoring Science To Tackle
the Climate Crisis.
(2) Executive Order 14008, relating to Tackling the Climate
Crisis at Home and Abroad.
(3) Section 6 of Executive Order 14013, relating to
Rebuilding and Enhancing Programs To Resettle Refugees and
Planning for the Impact of Climate Change on Migration.
(4) Executive Order 14030, relating to Climate-Related
Financial Risk.
(5) Executive Order 14057, relating to Catalyzing Clean
Energy Industries and Jobs Through Federal Sustainability.
(6) Executive Order 14082, relating to Implementation of
the Energy and Infrastructure Provisions of the Inflation
Reduction Act of 2022.
(7) Executive Order 14096, relating to Revitalizing Our
Nation's Commitment to Environmental Justice for All.
The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 756, the gentleman
from Montana (Mr. Rosendale) and a Member opposed each will control 5
minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Montana.
Mr. ROSENDALE. Mr. Chairman, this amendment prohibits any of the
funding in the Energy and Water Appropriations bill from being used to
carry out President Biden's executive orders on climate change.
These executive orders served as the catalyst for some of the
Department of Energy's most radical actions, including the Justice40
Initiative, a radical environmental justice initiative that directs 40
percent of Federal clean energy and energy efficiency spending based on
race, migrant status, and other characteristics.
A moment ago, you heard me speaking about relying upon the
marketplace and the free market to develop the most effective,
efficient, and technologically advanced methods with which we can fuel
everything that we have now, whether that is electric turbines or motor
vehicles. To base it upon race, migrant status, and other
characteristics demonstrates why exactly the Federal Government should
not be involved in this type of action.
The Department of Energy's transition to carbon pollution-free energy
sources, a zero-emissions fleet, and a net-zero building portfolio--the
power grid from Canada to Mexico around the country cannot sustain
pushing everything to renewable energies when they are only operating
at solar about 18 percent and wind energy at the very most efficient,
40 percent of full power when we happen to have wind blowing.
This is not the way for us to go, and I would ask that we prohibit
those funds from being used for such purposes.
Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Chair, I rise in strong opposition to this amendment.
The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Ohio is recognized for 5
minutes.
Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Chair, as of the end of August, there have been more
than 23 disasters in our country, just this year, costing at least a
billion dollars each--each. That exceeds the previous record set in
2020, and we have not even finished this year yet.
This morning, as I drove to work, I was listening to the
Representative from Hawaii talk about the recovery in Maui and ongoing
efforts there and the struggle and the positive attitude of the people
to try to rebuild. Don't try to tell American citizens who have lost
businesses or homes and loved ones from hurricanes, wildfires, other
natural disasters and who continue to face unrelenting flooding in the
middle part of the country that there are no costs from climate change.
Talk to any insurance company, property insurance company. Disaster
costs have risen substantially across this country, and they are
growing. In fact, they have tripled. The Federal Disaster Assistance
Office, just the Federal side, it is billions and billions and billions
more dollars.
It is already past time for aggressive action to address climate
change and its impacts, and pretending that it doesn't exist won't make
it go away.
We must maintain American leadership for our clean energy future and
not cede all the economic opportunity, which Congresswoman Castor just
talked about when she was here on the floor, to China and other
countries who surely want to be right at our ankles and try to dump
product into this country.
We have to stand on our own two feet and be as great a Nation as we
really are and seize the horizon.
Mr. Chair, I strongly urge my colleagues to vote against this harmful
amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. ROSENDALE. Mr. Chairman, building on the coast does not cause
climate change, but it certainly exposes you to incredible risk of
having your house washed away. Now, I am not a genius, nor am I
climatologist or a weatherman, but even I know that simple fact.
In 2021, the Strategic Petroleum Reserve had a total of 610 million
barrels of crude oil in it.
Here is what our Department of Energy has done: reduced it down to
347 million barrels of crude, the lowest level since 1983.
The emissions in our country have gone down. It is demonstrated very
clearly that by placing us more obligated to purchase our energy
overseas, all we are doing is creating more pollution problems around
the Earth. We do it cleaner. We do it safer. We do it with the
strongest environmental standards, and we do it with the best labor
practices around the world.
Mr. Chairman, I hope my colleagues can support this. There is no
reason for the Federal Government to be involved in directing what type
of energies we should develop.
Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
