 ENERGY AND WATER DEVELOPMENT AND RELATED AGENCIES APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 
                                  2008

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 481 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. 2641.

                     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 further consideration of 
the bill (H.R. 2641) making appropriations for energy and water 
development and related agencies for the fiscal year ending September 
30, 2008, and for other purposes, with Mr. Pomeroy (Acting Chairman) in 
the chair.
  The Clerk read the title of the bill.
  The Acting CHAIRMAN. When the Committee of the Whole rose earlier

                    Amendment Offered by Mr. Porter

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

       Amendment offered by Mr. Porter:
       Page 21, strike line 22 and all that follows through page 
     24, line 9.

  The Acting CHAIRMAN. Pursuant to the order of the House of today, the 
gentleman from Nevada (Mr. Porter) and a Member opposed each will 
control 5 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Nevada.
  Mr. PORTER. Mr. Chairman, I appreciate this opportunity. I'd like to 
thank my colleagues, Congresswoman Shelley Berkley from Nevada and 
Congressman Dean Heller for being cosponsors.
  I'd like to talk for a moment about the infamous Yucca Mountain 
project, probably the most studied piece of real estate on the planet 
as we know it today. That is because the Department of Energy and 
Members of this Congress are trying to prove to the American people 
that the Yucca Mountain project is safe.
  Unfortunately, in the last budget of last year, 60 percent of that 
budget was spent redoing problems with a broken project at Yucca 
Mountain.
  Mr. Chairman, it's broken. Study after study after study have proven 
that it's a broken project; not only broken, but it's a colossal waste 
of taxpayers' dollars. Thousands, if not millions of millions of 
dollars have been

[[Page 16269]]

spent on investigating the Yucca Mountain project to look at their 
flaws.
  My committee last year alone, we looked at thousands of e-mails where 
the science had been falsified. They've spent over $20 million fixing 
the project from the research that we had done in my committee.
  Mr. Chairman, if it was Wall Street that was looking at this project, 
they would shut it down. Most every senior management personnel at 
Yucca Mountain and the Department of Energy regarding the disposal of 
nuclear waste have either quit or left the project.
  Terrorism is another issue. We're trying to put millions and millions 
of tons of nuclear waste in one spot. It creates an additional 
terrorist target.
  It's an unproven science, but yet we're going to roll this nuclear 
waste through communities across our country.
  Mr. Chairman, the bottom line, even if I supported the project, which 
I don't, even if I was a nuclear industry, which I'm not, I would say 
it's the biggest waste of taxpayers' dollars. It's literally a hole in 
the ground.
  I would encourage that Members of this Congress visit Yucca Mountain. 
It is a $12 billion waste of money. If I were the nuclear industry, if 
I were this Congress, I would find another site. I would store it on 
site or find some other location.
  The science is broken. Time and time again, we have found that it's a 
flawed project, it's flawed science. If it were another project, if it 
was a school bus, if was a space shuttle, with this many errors and 
this many problems we would stop the project.
  I encourage this Congress to support my amendment striking $202 
million from this very flawed project.

                              {time}  1645

  Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. VISCLOSKY. Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to the amendment.
  The Acting CHAIRMAN. The gentleman from Indiana is recognized for 5 
minutes.
  Mr. VISCLOSKY. Mr. Chairman, the gentleman's amendment would 
eliminate all nondefense funding for Yucca Mountain. High-level 
radioactive waste exists in over 38 States. I believe it is 
irresponsible to leave it where it is forever, and it is essential to 
have a repository where it can be safely left for up to a million years 
while the radioactivity decays away.
  This waste comes from maintaining our nuclear weapons stockpile and 
from spent fuel from civilian nuclear reactors that generate 20 percent 
of all electricity in the United States.
  Yucca was chosen by Congress in 1982 as a permanent geological 
repository for high-level waste and billions have been spent to 
characterize the site and prepare for licensing and construction.
  Failure to open Yucca Mountain and take custody of commercial spent 
nuclear fuel will cost the taxpayers over $7 billion by 2017 when the 
repository could open. Cutting funding and delaying the filing of a 
license application by only a year will simply exacerbate the problem 
and increase this cost by more than a half billion dollars.
  Failure to proceed with a reasonable approach to disposing of spent 
nuclear fuel will cause the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to stop 
licensing new nuclear reactors and extending the licenses of existing 
plants. Every new and extended license must satisfy the waste 
confidence clause. So this amendment will constrain our ability to grow 
our economy without emitting any more greenhouse gasses. In the coming 
years, it will choke off nearly 20 percent of U.S. electricity 
generated by nuclear power plants.
  And, again, we have tried to strike a very reasoned balance in this 
bill as far as funding for the repository and other programs to 
initiate a sound nuclear industry in the short term, and I am opposed 
to the gentleman's amendment.
  Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. PORTER. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to my friend and an 
adamant opponent of Yucca Mountain, Shelley Berkley from Nevada.
  Ms. BERKLEY. Mr. Chairman, I want to thank my colleague for this very 
thoughtful amendment.
  The Yucca Mountain project is a failure. Twenty years after Nevada 
was unfairly singled out as the proposed dumpsite for this Nation's 
radioactive garbage, the only waste at Yucca Mountain is the $12 
million that has now been wasted on this ridiculous proposal.
  Plans for Yucca Mountain threaten the safety of the families I 
represent and the lives of 50 million Americans who will be at risk 
from shipments of toxic radioactive garbage headed to Yucca Mountain. 
One spill involving this deadly nuclear waste could make people sick, 
die, and shut down our roads and railways, and cost millions to clean 
up.
  Nuclear waste shipments are also prime targets for terrorists looking 
to unleash radiation on unsuspecting communities or to steal material 
needed to make a dirty bomb. Current plans call for thousands of nuke 
waste shipments on America's roads and railways, each one vulnerable to 
a handheld missile or 9/11-style suicide attack, the results of which 
could be devastating.
  Decades of ``mobile Chernobyls'' passing by homes, schools, 
hospitals, houses of worship, each an accident waiting to happen. And 
believe me, Mr. Chairman, our first responders have no training and no 
resources needed to deal with incidents involving these nuclear waste 
shipments.
  We talk about money and saving money by putting more money into Yucca 
Mountain? We have absolutely no idea how much Yucca Mountain is going 
to cost because there is no cost estimate. We have no time estimates. 
We have no radiation standards. We don't have canisters that currently 
exist that can store this nuclear waste and not have the nuclear 
material leach into the groundwater that is going to pollute all of the 
Southwestern United States water supplies.
  Now, if we want to do something for the American people, let's end 
this ridiculous folly before it costs us any more money. We have the 
power to do it in Congress. It is time that we stop this ridiculous 
proposal.
  Mr. VISCLOSKY. Mr. Chairman, I yield such time as he may consume to 
the ranking member, Mr. Hobson, in opposition to the amendment.
  Mr. HOBSON. Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to the gentleman from 
Nevada's amendment, as he might expect and as his colleague might 
expect.
  At some point we all have to go beyond parochial politics and do the 
right thing for the entire Nation. This is a NIMBY approach: ``Not in 
my backyard.'' Under any scenario you might imagine, from the 
construction of new nuclear power plants to shutting down all existing 
plants tomorrow, from continuing with the once-through fuel to cycle to 
beginning to recycle our spent nuclear fuel, we will need the first 
repository at Yucca Mountain. If we pursue recycling, we can avoid the 
need to build eight more Yucca Mountains, but we still need that first 
repository.
  The Federal Government has a statutory and contractual obligation, 
already adjudicated in the courts. It is costing us money by not 
getting it operational on Yucca Mountain.
  But this is not solely a question about what to do with commercial 
spent fuel. One-tenth of Yucca's capacity by weight, and up to one-
third of its capacity by volume, is dedicated to defense spent fuel and 
high-level waste.
  Without Yucca Mountain this material will stay put in places like 
Hanford, Idaho, Savannah River, and West Valley. Many of these sites 
already have enforceable cleanup agreements requiring these materials 
to be shipped off to the geologic repository.
  I would like to think we don't need a repository, but we do need a 
repository. We need it now, not 100 years. We need to move forward with 
this. And my real desire is that we won't have to build eight of them 
someplace and certainly not in Nevada. But we have got to finish this 
one off. It is a waste of taxpayers' money not to do it.
  I urge opposition to this amendment.
  Mr. PORTER. Mr. Chairman, I appreciate the comments of my colleague 
from Ohio. But I believe there are Members of Congress that are in a 
rush

[[Page 16270]]

to find a place. They have spent 20 years in a rush. And in the midst 
of that time, we have created a project that is a colossal waste of 
taxpayers' dollars. We need to find a site that is safe.
  I support nuclear energy. I do not support the waste being in Nevada 
because it is absolutely broken.
  Mr. Chairman, I appreciate this time and encourage this Congress to 
stop the funding of this very flawed project and find a site that is 
safe for the American people.
  Mr. HELLER of Nevada. Mr. Chairman, I rise today in strong support of 
the Porter-Heller-Berkley amendment to the Energy and Water 
Appropriations Act for fiscal year 2008. This amendment would strike 
the funding for the proposed Yucca Mountain site, and help end this 
enormous financial disaster for the taxpayers and for Nevada.
  Colleagues, Yucca Mountain is in my district, Nevada's Second 
District.
  Our State has been dealing with this issue for literally decades, the 
Federal Government has spent billions of dollars, and we are frankly 
almost no closer today to opening this site than we were years ago.
  As has been stated by my Nevada colleagues, over the past 20 years 
the proposed site has suffered from gross mismanagement, faulty science 
and research, and contract mismanagement.
  But we aren't just opposed to this site in an arbitrary manner. In 
fact, a number of solutions exist that are acceptable and safer, like 
dry-cask storage for example.
  If you're opposed to nuclear waste traveling through your 
communities, creating safety and security hazards in your 
neighborhoods, then you should support this amendment.
  If you're concerned about the taxpayers, wasting their funds, and the 
wise stewardship of Federal tax dollars, then support this amendment.
  Both Senators, the Governor and the House delegation are united in 
opposition to Yucca Mountain. That should send a very clear message to 
us here in the House about the opposition in Nevada.
  Support the Porter-Heller-Berkley amendment.
  Mr. PORTER. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. VISCLOSKY. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIRMAN. The question is on the amendment offered by the 
gentleman from Nevada (Mr. Porter).
  The question was taken; and the Acting Chairman announced that the 
noes appeared to have it.
  Mr. PORTER. Mr. Chairman, I demand a recorded vote.
  The Acting CHAIRMAN. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further 
proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Nevada will 
be postponed.
  The Clerk will read.
  The Clerk read as follows:


                     Environment, Safety and Health

       For Department of Energy expenses for Environment, Safety, 
     and Health activities, $31,625,000, to remain available until 
     expended.


       Title 17 Innovative Technology Loan Guarantee Loan Program

       Subject to the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, as 
     amended, during fiscal year 2008 commitments to guarantee 
     loans under title XVII of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 shall 
     not exceed a total principal amount, any part of which is to 
     be guaranteed, of $7,000,000,000: Provided, That of that 
     amount, $2,000,000,000 shall be available for carbon 
     sequestration optimized coal power plants, $4,000,000,000 
     shall be available for projects that promote biofuels and 
     clean transportation fuels, and $1,000,000,000 shall be 
     available for electric transmission facilities or renewable 
     power generation systems: Provided further, That pursuant to 
     section 1702(b)(2) of the Act, no appropriations are 
     available to pay the subsidy cost of such guarantees: 
     Provided further, That the source of payments received from 
     borrowers for the subsidy cost shall not be a loan or other 
     debt obligation that is made or guaranteed by the Federal 
     Government.


                 Amendment No. 10 Offered by Mr. Upton

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

       Amendment No. 10 offered by Mr. Upton:
       Page 24, line 20, after the dollar amount, insert 
     ``(increased by $4,000,000,000)''.
       Page 24, after line 22, insert ``$4,000,000,000 shall be 
     available for advanced nuclear energy facilities,''.

  The Acting CHAIRMAN. Pursuant to the order of the House of today, the 
gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Upton) and a Member opposed each will 
control 5 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Michigan.
  Mr. UPTON. Mr. Chairman this amendment that I am introducing, which I 
will subsequently withdraw, expresses my concern about the committee's 
action to cap loan guarantees at $7 billion for new energy projects 
designed to reduce carbon emissions.
  And before I ask unanimous consent to withdraw the amendment, I am 
going to ask the chairman to enter into a colloquy with myself, and I 
will also submit remarks from Mr. Towns, coauthor with me; as well as 
my ranking member of the Energy and Commerce Committee, Mr. Barton.
  Mr. Chairman, under the Energy Policy Act of 2005, the Congress 
authorized funding to provide loan guarantees for any technology which 
reduces carbon emissions. That was designed to help a vast array of 
technologies such as wind, solar, clean coal, ethanol, and nuclear. 
Your committee excluded new nuclear plants as one of the technologies 
eligible for loan guarantees under the 2005 Energy Policy Act. And as a 
supporter of nuclear power, I oppose that exclusion. I am concerned 
that this may delay new projects that are being planned, and I am 
hopeful that these concerns can be addressed when you reach a 
conference with the Senate.
  I would also note that the authorization in the energy appropriation 
bill is just that, an authorization. No appropriation is required. It 
is a standard practice that Federal loan guarantee programs have an 
annual loan volume authorization in an appropriations bill and that the 
program which is authorized in title 17 of the Energy Policy Act is 
unique. We must remember that it is self-financing and requires no 
taxpayer funds. Utilities that are building these plants will pay all 
of the costs associated with the program, including administrative 
costs of processing the loan guarantee applications and the credit 
subsidy cost of issuing the loan guarantee itself.
  So, Mr. Chairman, I would like you to help us if you can address 
these concerns.
  Mr. VISCLOSKY. Mr. Chairman, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. UPTON. I yield to the chairman of the subcommittee, my good 
friend, Mr. Visclosky.
  Mr. VISCLOSKY. Mr. Chairman, I appreciate the gentleman's yielding.
  And I want to acknowledge that we in Congress authorized the loan 
guarantee program for advanced technology that addresses clean air and 
climate concerns. The Federal Credit Reform Act explicitly states that 
loan obligations can only be made to the extent there is an affirmative 
action on the part of the Appropriations Committee.
  The Federal Credit Reform Act provides that new direct loan 
obligations may be incurred and new loan guarantee commitments may be 
made for fiscal year 1992 and thereafter only to the extent that, one, 
new budget authority is provided in an appropriations act; and, two, a 
limitation on the use of funds for the cost of a loan guarantee has 
been ``provided in an appropriations act''; or, three, ``authority is 
otherwise provided in appropriations acts.''
  However, it is the implementation of this program that has raised the 
concerns of the committee. Our fiscal year 2008 bill does not provide 
loan guarantees for the nuclear industry. The request for guaranteed 
loans from the Nuclear Energy Association, subsidized by the Federal 
Government, is very large. It overwhelms what the bill provides for the 
entire energy community. The administration had asked for a total of $4 
billion for the nuclear energy industry and the coal industry. This 
does not come close to what the Nuclear Energy Association has 
indicated they need. The Nuclear Energy Association indicates a need 
for $25 billion in Federal guaranteed loans for fiscal year 2008 and 
more than that in fiscal year 2009. The ``system,'' meaning the DOE 
loan guarantee infrastructure, cannot accommodate a request of this 
size at this time.
  I would also point out that the fiscal year 2006 joint continuing 
resolution

[[Page 16271]]

included $4 billion in Incentives For Innovative Technology loan 
guarantees for the Department of Energy to execute, without defining 
which technologies to target. The Congress did not limit the use of 
this initial $4 billion for nuclear projects. The administration chose 
not to make these loans available to the nuclear community.

                              {time}  1700

  I believe in the ``go slow approach.'' We should take all deliberate 
speed for the new DOE programs. I recommend this approach to the 
Congress on this one based on my continuing concerns about how DOE has 
managed it to date. I am, however, open to new information about the 
industry's plan for innovative technology deployment and discussion 
about how DOE can implement the program. I pledge to work with the 
gentleman to see if we can come to an agreeable solution.
  Mr. UPTON. I thank the gentleman for the helpful understanding. I 
look forward to working with you and Mr. Hobson.
  Mr. BARTON of Texas. Mr. Chairman, I thank the Gentleman. I rise to 
associate myself with the remarks of my good friends from Michigan and 
New York in support of this amendment. Nuclear power must be a part of 
our future energy supply. Companies that are planning to build new 
nuclear plants estimate that they will request a loan of $20 to $25 
billion in FY '08. The companies expect to complete loan guarantee 
agreements in FY '08 because they must have financing in place in order 
to maintain their current schedules. Without loan guarantees for new 
nuclear plants, we risk a delay in bringing more safe and emission free 
nuclear plants online at a time when we are trying to diversify our 
supplies of power as quickly as possible. I thank the Gentleman for 
yielding me this time and I yield back.
  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Chairman, I thank the Gentleman. Mr. Chairman, I rise 
in support of this amendment which also goes to the heart of my 
concerns that certain technologies were excluded from receiving loan 
guarantees. Nuclear power emits no greenhouse gases and needs to be 
part of the solution towards addressing the concerns of climate change. 
In some cases, companies have stated that without loan guarantees, 
plans for new nuclear plants will be abandoned in favor of other forms 
of generating capacity to meet the growing demand for baseload 
electricity. This will not serve our nation's energy security and 
environmental interests. The Export-Import Bank has billions of dollars 
of loan guarantees available for financing these types of projects 
overseas. Some people joke that it would be easier to build a nuclear 
plant in Mexico rather than in New Mexico. Mr. Chairman, I ask if I 
could work with you to address these concerns as we move towards a 
conference with the Senate and I yield back to the Gentleman from 
Michigan.
  Mr. UPTON. Mr. Chairman, at this point I would ask unanimous consent 
to withdraw my amendment.
  The Acting CHAIRMAN. Without objection, the amendment is withdrawn.
  There was no objection.
  Mr. VISCLOSKY. Mr. Chairman, I ask unanimous consent that the 
gentlewoman from California (Mrs. Tauscher) be allowed to offer her 
amendment at this time.
  The Acting CHAIRMAN. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Indiana?
  There was no objection.


                Amendment No. 6 Offered by Mrs. Tauscher

  Mrs. TAUSCHER. Mr. Chairman, I offer an amendment.
  The Acting CHAIRMAN. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       Amendment No. 6 offered by Mrs. Tauscher:
       Page 27, line 4, after ``expended'' insert the following: 
     ``: Provided, That $173,250,000 of the amounts provided are 
     available for nuclear weapons dismantlement activities at 
     Department of Energy facilities authorized for such 
     activities, of which $91,000,000 is for the Pit Disassembly 
     and Conversion Facility Project at the Savannah River Site, 
     South Carolina''.

  The Acting CHAIRMAN. Pursuant to the order of the House of today, the 
gentlewoman from California (Mrs. Tauscher) and a Member opposed each 
will control 5 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from California.
  Mrs. TAUSCHER. Mr. Chairman, this amendment has been discussed with 
the Energy and Water Development Subcommittee, and I understand it is 
acceptable to the chairman and the ranking member.
  Before explaining my amendment, I want to congratulate Chairman 
Visclosky and Ranking Member Hobson for the bill before the House 
today. It is a strong testament to their talents. Among its 
achievements, the bill provides substantial increases for two broad 
national priorities that I have long championed, nuclear 
nonproliferation activities to prevent the spread of weapons of mass 
destruction and the materials and technologies that be can used to 
create such weapons, and scientific research on technologies to reduce 
our dependence on foreign sources of energy and on fossil fuels in 
general.
  The committee report takes a series of bold actions involving the 
Nation's nuclear weapons program, including directing the Department of 
Energy to reevaluate its plans for modernizing the nuclear weapons 
complex and demanding rapid consolidation of weapons-usable nuclear 
material. I want to commend the Energy and Water Subcommittee for their 
fine work.
  The bill also provides critical funding increases to a lesser known 
national priority, the National Ignition Campaign, which is being 
carried out at the Lawrence Livermore National Lab in my district. When 
the NIF is completed in fiscal year 2009, it will be a scientific tool 
unlike anything the world has ever seen.
  The National Ignition Facility will give U.S. scientists 
unprecedented insight into nuclear weapons phenomena, without nuclear 
explosions, and thus play a crucial role in the science-based stockpile 
stewardship program, which ensures the safety and reliability of our 
nuclear deterrent without nuclear testing. I commend the committee for 
its support of this critically important program.
  I do need to mention, however, that the report accompanying the bill 
includes a few instances where I believe the Appropriations Committee 
ventured beyond what was authorized in the weapons activities account 
by the House Armed Services Committee, where I serve as chairman of the 
Subcommittee on Strategic Forces.
  Directing the relocation of the long-planned Pit Disassembly and 
Conversion Facility, commencing weapons disassembly activities at the 
Nevada Test site without a feasibility assessment, and initiating a 
major new construction project at the Idaho National Lab are all 
examples of actions that would be more appropriately dealt with by the 
authorizing committee.
  Separately, by cutting the funds for the mixed oxide fuel facility 
while demanding improved execution on the project, I believe it sets up 
an unfair task for the Energy Department. Having said that, Chairman 
Visclosky and Ranking Member Hobson, as well as our staff, have been 
very open to dialogue on these issues, and I truly, truly appreciate 
that.
  My amendment modifies the bill to address two actions recommended by 
the committee report. First, the amendment confirms that the pit 
facility will be located at the Savannah River site. The site was 
selected by a former record of decision that was issued in 2000, which 
was in turn based on the environmental impact statement completed in 
1999.
  And second, the amendment directs that weapons dismantlement 
activities funded by the bill to be conducted at sites authorized to 
conduct such activity.
  I want to sincerely thank the chairman and ranking member for 
agreeing to accept this amendment. We are very grateful for the spirit 
of cooperation in which this amendment was achieved. I believe this 
cooperation is possible because at the end of the day we are in 
fundamental agreement on most of these issues.
  I trust that going forward we can continue discussing these projects, 
as well as others, and work together moving the country forward 
concerning the future of a nuclear weapons complex.
  I urge adoption of this amendment.
  Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. VISCLOSKY. Mr. Chairman, I move to strike the last word.
  The Acting CHAIRMAN. The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes.

[[Page 16272]]


  Mr. VISCLOSKY. Mr. Chairman, I appreciate the recognition, and simply 
rise to accept the gentlelady's amendment.
  This has been a collaborative effort. And I would want to also 
congratulate the gentlewoman from California and all of her 
subcommittee members for their very good and strong leadership in 
rationalizing the nuclear weapons complex and bolstering the nuclear 
nonproliferation programs at the National Nuclear Security 
Administration.
  The fact is, the gentlelady in particular has exercised great 
leadership in the issues of nonproliferation, making sure we have an 
appropriate and rationalized weapons complex, and that again, we are 
very deliberative as far as what the long-term nuclear policy of this 
country is. And again, I also appreciate her very early interjection 
into the work of this subcommittee, and her cooperation as well as her 
staff's cooperation. And again, it is my pleasure, on behalf of the 
subcommittee, to accept her amendment.
  Mrs. TAUSCHER. Mr. Chairman, I am very excited to continue to work 
with the chairman and the ranking member of the Energy and Water 
Development Appropriations Committee.
  As I said earlier, our two staffs have worked very closely together 
to achieve what I think is some very good work on the National Nuclear 
Weapons Complex and other issues. I appreciate his accepting of this 
amendment.
  Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIRMAN. The question is on the amendment offered by the 
gentlewoman from California (Mrs. Tauscher).
  The amendment was agreed to.

  Moment of Silence in Memory of Nine South Carolina Firefighters Who 
                        Perished in Line of Duty

  Mr. BROWN of South Carolina. Mr. Chairman, last night, nine brave 
firefighters from my district lost their lives in the line of duty. 
Responding to a fire in the West Ashley area of Charleston, these men 
made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our community in what was the 
single worst loss of firefighters since 9/11. This tragedy is a somber 
reminder of the dangers our first responders face on a daily basis as 
they serve to protect us and our property. We are forever grateful for 
their service and deeply sadden by their loss.
  Our hearts and prayers go out to the families of these courageous 
men: Captain William ``Billy'' Hutchinson, Captain Mike Benke, Captain 
Louis Mulkey, Engineer Mark Kelsey, Engineer Bradford ``Brad'' Baity, 
Assistant Engineer Michael French, Firefighter James ``Earl'' Drayton, 
Firefighter Brandon Thompson and Firefighter Melven Champaign.
  These men, who had over 100 years of service among them, gave their 
lives doing a job they loved.
  I now yield to my good friend, Mr. Clyburn.
  Mr. CLYBURN. I thank my friend, Mr. Brown, for yielding me this time. 
Not since 9/11 have we been reminded so poignantly of the sacrifice our 
first responders make to protect our safety. These nine firefighters 
gave the ultimate sacrifice last night doing the jobs they loved. As 
Charlestonians, South Carolinians and Americans, we are grateful for 
their service and deeply saddened by their loss.
  Our hearts go out to their families and their colleagues. This 
devastating loss is one that touched the hearts of our entire Nation, 
and we grieve with them.
  Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., once said, ``Everybody can be great 
because anybody can serve. You only need a heart full of grace, a soul 
generate by love and you can be that servant.''
  These firefighters were public servants in the truest sense. They 
answered the call to serve their community, and today Charleston and 
South Carolina are better places for their service.
  Among the nine that perished was a combined 123 years of service to 
the Charleston Fire Department. This is a remarkable testament to their 
dedication and selflessness. Their experience and service cannot be 
replaced, and their contributions will not be forgotten.
  Mr. Chairman, I ask my colleagues to rise and join me in a moment of 
silence.

                  Announcement by the Acting Chairman

  The Acting CHAIRMAN (during the vote). There is 1 minute remaining in 
this vote.

                              {time}  1814

  Mr. MARKEY changed his vote from ``no'' to ``aye.''
  So the amendment was rejected.
  The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
  Mr. OLVER. Mr. Chairman, I move that the Committee do now rise.
  The motion was agreed to.
  Accordingly, the Committee rose; and the Speaker pro tempore (Mr. 
Walz of Minnesota) having assumed the chair, Mr. Pomeroy, Acting 
Chairman 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. 2641) making appropriations for energy and water development and 
related agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2008, and for 
other purposes, had come to no resolution thereon.

                          ____________________
