  The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
  Stated against:
  Mr. WELLER. Mr. Chairman, on rollcall No. 518 I was unavoidably 
detained. Had I been present, I would have voted ``no.''
  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore (Mr. Hastings of Washington). Pursuant to 
the order of the House of today, it is now in order to consider 
amendment No. 2 printed in House Report 108-282.


                  Amendment No. 2 Offered by Mr. Kind

  Mr. KIND. Mr. Chairman, I offer an amendment.
  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       Amendment No. 2 offered by Mr. Kind:
       Page 56, strike lines 8 through 22 and insert the 
     following:
       ``(3) Completion of mitigation.--To ensure concurrent 
     mitigation, the Secretary shall implement at least 50 percent 
     of required mitigation before beginning project construction 
     and shall implement the remainder of required mitigation as 
     expeditiously as practical, but not later than--
       ``(A) the last day of construction of the project or 
     separable element of the project; or
       ``(B) in those instances in which it is not technically 
     practicable to complete mitigation concurrent with the last 
     day of project construction because of the nature of the 
     mitigation to be undertaken, as expeditiously as practicable, 
     but in no case later than the last day of the first fiscal 
     year beginning after the last day of construction of the 
     project or separable element of the project.''.
       (b) Full Mitigation Plan Contents.--Section 906(d) of such 
     Act (33 U.S.C. 2283(d)) is amended--
       (1) in the first sentence of paragraph (1)(A)--
       (A) by inserting after ``Congress'' the following: ``, and 
     shall not choose a project alternative in any final record of 
     decision, environmental impact statement, or environmental 
     assessment,'';
       (B) by striking ``a recommendation with''; and
       (C) by inserting ``fully'' before ``mitigate''; and
       (2) by adding at the end the following:

     equivalent habitat of the same type to replace each acre of 
     habitat negatively affected by the project; and
       ``(ii) implement additional activities necessary to ensure 
     that mitigation will result in replacement of all functions 
     of the habitat negatively affected by the project, including 
     spatial distribution and natural hydrologic and ecological 
     characteristics.
       ``(B) Probability of success.--A mitigation plan submitted 
     by the Secretary under paragraph (1) shall have a high 
     probability of successfully mitigating the adverse impacts of 
     the project on aquatic and other resources, hydrologic 
     functions, and fish and wildlife.
       ``(4) Mitigation plan contents.--A mitigation plan shall 
     include--''.
       Page 57, line 15, strike ``any necessary''.
       Page 57, line 20, strike ``(4)'' and insert ``(5)''.

  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 375, the 
gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Kind) and the gentleman from Tennessee 
(Mr. Duncan) each will control 10 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Kind).
  Mr. KIND. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Let me thank my friend, the gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. Duncan), 
for the courtesy and consideration that he is showing in allowing this 
brief discussion.
  It is my intent that after a brief debate on this amendment I will 
ask unanimous consent to withdraw and we will go to final passage at 
this time.
  Mr. Chairman, let me first of all commend the work that the Committee 
on Transportation and Infrastructure has done on this important piece 
of legislation. I think it is a good bill. It is a bill that can be 
made better. I think there has been important progress in a variety of 
areas, especially the provisions relating to the Corps of Engineers 
reform.
  Mr. Chairman, I believe that the inclusion of these critical Corps 
reform measures demonstrate a critical recognition that reforms are 
necessary in how the Corps of Engineers conducts their projects 
throughout the country and accomplish many of the goals that I set 
forth nearly 4 years ago when I introduced the Army Corps of Engineer 
Reform Act of 2000.
  These efforts are an important first step towards assuring that the 
Corps properly plans, constructs, and operates projects and provides 
Congress with accurate information.
  My amendment, Mr. Chairman, briefly would build on the committee's 
efforts to improve the Corps record on mitigation of civil works 
projects. The committee took an important step in requiring the Corps 
to include critical information in its mitigation plans. Unfortunately, 
I do not think it goes quite far enough.
  I am hoping that we can keep an open mind as the Senate begins their 
work on WRDA and as we enter the conference committee that perhaps some 
more improvements can be made with the Corps reforms that are 
recommended in this base bill.
  The Corps track record on mitigation certainly needs improvement. In 
May 2002, the General Accounting Office reported that the Corps had 
proposed no mitigation for almost 70 percent of its projects. In 
addition, despite the existing requirement that the Corps carry out its 
mitigation concurrently with project construction, the GAO also 
reported that the Corps has not done so for over 80 percent of the 
projects where mitigation is supposed to occur.
  Mr. Chairman, failure to properly mitigate has real implications for 
the Nation's health and economic well-being. For example, when wetlands 
losses are not mitigated, water quality is harmed, water supplies are 
strained, flood damage increases, and wildlife is harmed. Wetlands 
filter pollutants from water, absorb and slow the release of storm 
runoff, recharge aquifers, provide crucial wildlife habitat for 
millions of migrating waterfowl, shore birds, and other species and 
provide recreation and enjoyment to millions of Americans who visit 
wetlands areas throughout the year. We must correct this situation and 
quickly.
  My amendment to section 2030 would do so by requiring the Corps to 
first fully mitigate habitat loss from the construction of Corps 
projects by replacing at a minimum each acre of damaged habitat with an 
equivalent or superior acre of habitat.

[[Page 23197]]

  Second, complete at least 50 percent of mitigation before 
construction begins with the remainder to be completed when the project 
construction is complete wherever it is physically possible.
  Third, to prepare detailed mitigation plans that have a high 
likelihood of successfully replacing loss values and that require 
monitoring to ensure success.
  I wish to emphasize that these recommendations are not mine alone but 
are also those from a panel of experts of the National Academies of 
Research Council. Speaking to the specific issue of compensating for 
wetland loss, the NRC's Water Science and Technology Board recommended, 
``Restoration and creation of wetlands should occur simultaneously or 
before the filling of the natural wetland and according to established 
design criteria that are better monitored and enforced.''
  Again, I would reiterate that hopefully we can keep an open mind as 
we move forward with the work of the Senate and begin work on the 
conference report whenever that might occur so we can improve upon, I 
think, significant improvements that have been made in the area of 
Corps reform and perhaps produce a better bill at the end of the day 
for the protection of wetlands and habitats throughout our country.
  Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. DUNCAN. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Mr. Chairman, I understand the gentleman is going to withdraw his 
amendment, so just let me very briefly and quickly say that many groups 
and Members started out far apart on different issues involved in this 
legislation, but we came together in the spirit of bipartisanship and 
arrived at a bill that all the members of the Committee on 
Transportation and Infrastructure supported, that the leadership on 
both sides support. We had groups like the Chamber of Commerce, the 
Farm Bureau, all the environmental groups. And the environmental groups 
and the business groups came together to endorse this bill. It is 
almost unprecedented. So we came up with the most environmentally 
friendly bill that has ever been produced, I think, in a Water 
Resources Development Act. So I think it is a bill that can be 
supported proudly by Members on all sides.
  Mr. OBERSTAR. Mr. Chairman, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. DUNCAN. I will gladly yield to the gentleman from Minnesota, the 
ranking member of the committee.
  Mr. OBERSTAR. Mr. Chairman, I thank the chairman for his statement 
about the diligent work of the committee and in addressing the resource 
issues in a very comprehensive manner. Of course, there is always more 
that can be done, but we have created a platform and a structure within 
which this program can be improved.
  The reference of the gentleman from Wisconsin to concurrency of 
mitigation efforts with construction is a matter that the former Member 
from Minnesota, Congressman Quee, Republican from southeastern 
Minnesota, and I crafted into a water resources bill in 1977, but it 
has taken years to get the corps to actually carry out that 
responsibility. So it is evidence that we need to proceed further.
  But the discussion of the gentleman from Wisconsin sets the stage and 
lays the groundwork for this committee to continue to address this 
matter in future legislation and future form.
  Mr. DUNCAN. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. KIND. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from 
Oregon (Mr. Blumenauer).
  Mr. BLUMENAUER. Mr. Chairman, I appreciate the gentleman's courtesy 
in yielding me this time, and given the lateness of the hour, I will be 
brief. But I think what we are doing here this afternoon is a metaphor 
for why we have the problem that we have and why we need to consider 
something like the gentleman's amendment.
  There is never a good time to deal with mitigation, yet there are 
people in this Chamber who represent tens of thousands of Americans who 
are worse off today because of the hurricane flooding, because over the 
last 200 years we have filled over one-half of our country's wetlands. 
This is nature's sponge. This buffers storm surges. This slows the 
release of flood water. And despite the good intentions, we never quite 
get there.
  The gentleman has pointed out that 70 percent of the corps' projects 
have exactly zero mitigation, and very little follow-up occurs to make 
sure that the mitigation that is established actually happens. I 
appreciate what our subcommittee Chair has said, the ranking member, 
and the spirit with which this has been offered; but I hope that 
Members of this Chamber who have constituents that are flooded out 
tonight or that are going to have constituents that will be flooded in 
6 months or a year, who are going to be dealing with massive 
supplemental budgets to deal with the problems of how we have not 
properly dealt with water resources, will remember this time, and we 
will come forward where we are dealing realistically with mitigation 
and give the American public the type of protection they need and the 
environment the consideration that it deserves.
  Mr. KIND. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may consume, 
and again I want to thank my friend from Tennessee for the courtesy he 
has shown and my colleagues for their patience.
  Mr. Chairman, I ask unanimous consent to withdraw my amendment.
  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. Without objection, the amendment is 
withdrawn.
  There was no objection.
  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. There being no further amendments, the 
question is on the committee amendment in the nature of a substitute, 
as amended.
  The committee amendment in the nature of a substitute, as amended, 
was agreed to.
  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. Under the rule, the committee rises.

                              {time}  1815

  Accordingly, the Committee rose; and the Speaker pro tempore (Mr. 
Ose) having assumed the chair, Mr. Hastings of Washington, Chairman pro 
tempore of the Committee of the Whole House on the State of the Union, 
reported that that Committee, having had under consideration the bill 
(H.R. 2557) to provide for the conservation and development of water 
and related resources, to authorize the Secretary of the Army to 
construct various projects for improvements to rivers and harbors of 
the United States, and for other purposes, pursuant to House Resolution 
375, he reported the bill back to the House with an amendment adopted 
by the Committee of the Whole.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under the rule, the previous question is 
ordered.
  Is a separate vote demanded on the amendment to the committee 
amendment in the nature of a substitute adopted by the Committee of the 
Whole? If not, the question is on the committee amendment in the nature 
of a substitute.
  The committee amendment in the nature of a substitute was agreed to.


                    Amendment Offered by Mr. Duncan

  Mr. DUNCAN. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that the further 
amendment I have placed at the desk be considered as adopted.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the amendment.
  The Clerk read as follows:

       Amendment offered by Mr. Duncan:
       On page 121, line 5, strike the sentence that begins with 
     ``In carrying out'' and all that follows through line 6.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Tennessee?
  Mr. OBERSTAR. Mr. Speaker, reserving the right to object, I reserve 
the right to object for the purpose of establishing the concurrence of 
the gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. Duncan) that the unanimous consent 
request to strike the language referred to in the gentleman's amendment 
does not create legislative history on the subject and is not 
indicative of legislative intent; and, further, any prior or subsequent 
discussion of this provision does not constitute legislative intent.

member, the gentleman from Minnesota (Mr. Oberstar).
  Mr. OBERSTAR. Mr. Speaker, I withdraw my reservation.
