    WAIVING REQUIREMENT OF CLAUSE 6(a) OF RULE XIII WITH RESPECT TO 
                  CONSIDERATION OF CERTAIN RESOLUTIONS

  Ms. SLAUGHTER. Mr. Speaker, by direction of the Committee on Rules, I 
call up House Resolution 1514 and ask for its immediate consideration.
  The Clerk read the resolution, as follows:

                              H. Res. 1514

       Resolved, That the requirement of clause 6(a) of rule XIII 
     for a two-thirds vote to consider a report from the Committee 
     on Rules on the same day it is presented to the House is 
     waived with respect to any resolution reported on the 
     legislative day of September 28, 2008, or September 29, 2008.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman from New York is recognized 
for 1 hour.
  Ms. SLAUGHTER. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
  For the purposes of debate only, I yield the customary 30 minutes to 
the gentleman from California (Mr. Dreier). All time yielded during 
consideration of the rule is for debate only. I yield myself such time 
as I may consume. I also ask unanimous consent that all Members be 
given 5 legislative days in which to revise and extend their remarks on 
House Resolution 1514.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentlewoman from New York?
  There was no objection.
  Ms. SLAUGHTER. Mr. Speaker, H. Res. 1514 waives clause 6(a) of rule 
XIII which requires a two-thirds vote to consider a rule on the same 
day it is reported from the Rules Committee. This waiver would apply to 
any rule reported on the legislative days of Sunday, September 28, and 
Monday, September 29, 2008.
  Waiving the same day is not an uncommon procedure. It has been used 
routinely by the majority party, both Republicans and Democrats, as an 
important tool to help expedite important

[[Page 22904]]

legislation, particularly at the end of a legislative session.
  It is not as common to have a same day rule that covers any measure 
reported by the Rules Committee. This is the only time in this Congress 
that this Rules Committee has reported such a measure. All of the 
previous same day rules have applied to only those specific measures 
contained in the rule.
  However, in the 109th Congress, when my good friend, the gentleman 
from California, was chairman of the Rules Committee, there were five 
rules reported from the committee that did what this rule does this 
evening.
  I want to emphasize to my colleagues that adoption of this rule does 
not provide for passage of any other rule or any other bill on its own. 
Any measure brought before this House pursuant to this rule must pass 
by a majority vote, just like any other measure considered under 
regular order.
  What it does do is to allow the House to consider important 
legislation in a timely fashion. Hopefully, the legislation to help 
address our Nation's looming financial crisis will be ready for 
consideration soon. It is very important that this package is 
considered and adopted by the House as soon as possible. This rule is 
an important part of the process to make that happen.
  I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. DREIER. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Let me begin by expressing my appreciation to my very good friend, 
the distinguished Chair of the Committee on Rules, the gentlewoman from 
Rochester, Ms. Slaughter, and I rise in opposition to this rule.
  Mr. Speaker, we are in week 4 of the National Football League season. 
The Washington Redskins have just defeated the Dallas Cowboys, the 
Kansas City Chiefs have just defeated the Denver Broncos; and we are, 
as a Nation, facing one of the most serious financial crises that we 
have ever faced. In fact, it's a crisis that only a few of our very, 
very senior Members who lived back in 1929 have ever experienced.
  And what is it that we're doing here right now, Mr. Speaker? Well, 
we're considering a measure that will allow us to bring to the floor 
any item whatsoever for same day consideration, but in fact, we're not 
using this measure that is before us to deal with the very serious and 
important legislation that the American people very much want us to 
address.
  I am vehemently opposed to any measure that would provide a blanket 
guarantee to bail out the people on Wall Street who have engaged in 
outrageous behavior jeopardizing the credit structure that exists here 
in the United States today.
  And we know the kind of impact that it's having on our markets, we 
know the kind of impact it's having on the global economic markets, and 
we know that some action must be taken.
  And what is it that we're doing here? Well, we're considering a same 
day rule. And I should say to the distinguished Chair, my good friend 
from Rochester, that I appreciated her compliment on my fine work in 
the 109th Congress, and I find it fascinating that my work product from 
the 109th Congress is now being held up as a model for the action that 
is taking place right here this evening.
  I guess we're going to consider under same day something that's being 
discussed upstairs in the Rules Committee right now, the so-called tax 
extenders legislation. And it's legislation that we could very easily 
dispense with. We could dispense with it, Mr. Speaker, by virtue of 
taking up a measure that by a 93-2 vote passed in the United States 
Senate. Seems to me that a 93-2 vote would be pretty bipartisan, nearly 
a unanimous vote, to deal with the very important issues that the 
American people want to address when it comes to the tax side.
  The outrageous alternative minimum tax that began in 1969 to go after 
155 millionaires has now expanded to include 22-plus million Americans, 
and they are being unfairly taxed. They want us to address that 
measure.
  My State of California is very important when it comes to the issue 
of looking at technological advances, and making sure that we extend 
the research and development tax credit is critical. Pursuing 
alternative energy sources like wind and solar, biodiesel, the kinds of 
creative green crude, the notion of looking at algae and utilizing that 
through present oil refineries today to try to bring down the cost of 
gasoline for the American people and for those around the globe who are 
seeking to decrease energy costs.
  Well, I will tell you, we could deal with every single one of those 
items if we were to simply take that measure that has passed the Senate 
by a 93-2 vote. We could bring it up, and it would pass nearly 
unanimously, I believe, in this House if we were to do it. But instead, 
rather than focusing our attention on this very important credit crisis 
that needs to be addressed based on analyses provided by virtually 
everyone so that we are able to bring about the kind of stability that 
is necessary, or at least attempt to do that, whether it's from Wall 
Street to Main Street, from San Dimas Avenue, where I live, to 5th 
Avenue and every area in between, we very much need to do that, Mr. 
Speaker. And instead, we're going to be addressing--and the Rules 
Committee, as I have said, right now is holding a hearing on an item 
that will never go anyplace.
  So that's why it's a real insult to the American people that we are 
here right now doing what we're doing.
  But unfortunately, it is a pattern that we have seen in the 110th 
Congress. And while again, I'm proud that my record has been held up as 
a model, whatever criticisms that may have been leveled towards my 
record in the 109th Congress, the activities that we've seen in the 
110th Congress really, really, really go beyond the pale.
  In fact, I just read a speech that was delivered by our Rules 
Committee, the second ranking member behind Ms. Slaughter, our good 
friend from Worcester, Mr. McGovern, who, on the 29th of September, 
2006, virtually 2 years ago, he gave a very strong speech right here on 
the floor in which he began to level criticism about the number of 
closed rules, the number of restrictive rules, the lack of open rules 
that existed in the 109th Congress.
  I would like to say, Mr. Speaker, that this 110th Congress has 
transcended dramatically the number of closed rules, the fact that 
there are fewer open rules, the increased number of restricted rules. 
In fact, right now we're on the 65th, headed towards the 66th closed 
rule in the 110th Congress, Mr. Speaker. Again, while we were 
criticized harshly in the 109th Congress, today what we're seeing is 
the highest number of closed rules in any Congress in the 230-year 
history of this great institution of ours.
  So I have got to tell you that I am not about to support any kind of 
package that provides a blank check of $700 billion to those people on 
Wall Street who are responsible for the outlandish, outlandish behavior 
that's gone on and the problems that have existed. But I do believe 
that action does need to be taken. Action needs to be taken so that we 
can, in fact, stabilize the credit markets and bring about stability.
  That's what we should be doing at this moment, Mr. Speaker. That's 
what we should be doing right now. We should not be wasting time on 
this kind of effort when we can very easily get a measure that by a 93-
2 vote has passed the Senate and that the President of the United 
States is prepared to sign so that we can provide AMT relief to those 
22 million Americans who desperately need it, so that we can make the 
research and development tax credit extended, so that we can have 
creative, new ideas, so that we can deal with incentives for 
alternative energy sources to play a role in bringing down the costs to 
the American people and those around the world who are looking for 
alternative energy sources that will be generated right here in the 
United States of America.
  And so, Mr. Speaker, I will say that I am very saddened that we're 
taking the action that we are, and I hope very much that we can defeat 
this rule so that we'll be able to bring up that proposal that, again, 
will provide that kind of relief, and it will get the measure to the 
Senate, it will get the measure to the President's desk.
  And we know very well the Democratic majority leader, the majority

[[Page 22905]]

leader in the United States Senate, our colleague from Nevada (Mr. 
Reid) has made it clear that he's not about to take up this measure 
from the House because they've passed, by a 93-2 vote, the item that 
the President of the United States is prepared to sign so that we can 
meet the President's goal here.
  So I hope that we can defeat this rule.
  And with that, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. SLAUGHTER. Mr. Speaker, may I inquire of my colleague whether he 
has any further speakers?
  Mr. DREIER. Mr. Speaker, I have no further speakers, and I am 
prepared to close.
  Ms. SLAUGHTER. I have no speakers, and we would be happy to have you 
close.
  Mr. DREIER. Let me yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Let me say again that I believe that it is a mistake for us to be 
here imposing this martial law rule at a very precarious time in our 
Nation's history as we're dealing with the serious challenges that lie 
before us.
  I'm going to urge my colleagues to vote ``no'' on the previous 
question. And if the previous question prevails, I will urge them to 
vote ``no'' on this rule so that we will be in a position where we can 
bring up the very important item that will allow us to get AMT relief, 
allow us to provide incentives for alternative energy sources, and 
allow us to deal with things like the research and development tax 
credit, which are so important to this country.

                              {time}  2015

  And while we do everything that we can to ensure we do not give a 
blank check to those on Wall Street, I do believe that the American 
people want us to take action that will responsibly deal with the very 
important credit crisis so that automatic teller machines will be able 
to get cash to individuals; so that the small businessmen and -women 
throughout the United States of America will be able to have access to 
credit so that they will be able to continue to thrive as businesses; 
so that the American people who, in fact, have met their obligation in 
paying their mortgage, that they won't be saddled with the 
responsibility for people who have been less than responsible.
  So, Mr. Speaker, I urge a ``no'' vote on the previous question, and 
as I said, if in fact the previous question does pass, I urge a ``no'' 
vote on the rule.
  With that, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Ms. SLAUGHTER. Mr. Speaker, for the purposes of the record only, I 
will state why the majority has not taken the Senate bill, which as my 
colleague pointed out passed rather handily in the Senate.
  The Senate bill is not paid for. It is the purpose of this majority 
and has been for the 2 years we've been in the majority to pay for 
measures that we enact.
  Mr. DREIER. Would the gentlewoman yield on that point?
  Ms. SLAUGHTER. I will.
  Mr. DREIER. I thank my friend for yielding.
  Mr. Speaker, I think it's important to note that a year ago this 
coming December, the structure that passed the United States Senate 
with this so-called not paid for is exactly what this Democratic 
Congress did to extend the alternative minimum tax, the R&D tax credit, 
and these other items 1 year ago. And so this is actually a change from 
what the Democratic Congress did a year ago to deal with this issue, 
and I thank my friend for yielding.
  Ms. SLAUGHTER. I will reclaim my time, and I will urge everyone to 
vote ``yes'' on the previous question and ``yes'' on this rule so that 
we can get on with this important business of the House. As my 
colleague correctly points out, we have much, much work to do.
  I yield back the balance of my time, and I move the previous question 
on the resolution.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on ordering the previous 
question.
  The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that 
the ayes appeared to have it.
  Mr. DREIER. Mr. Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays.
  The yeas and nays were ordered.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 8 and clause 9 of rule 
XX, this 15-minute vote on ordering the previous question on House 
Resolution 1514 will be followed by 5-minute votes on adoption of House 
Resolution 1514, if ordered; and suspending the rules and passing S. 
2840.
  The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 211, 
nays 201, not voting 21, as follows:

                             [Roll No. 666]
