     PROVIDING FOR CONSIDERATION OF H.R. 2997, AGRICULTURE, RURAL 
    DEVELOPMENT, FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION, AND RELATED AGENCIES 
                        APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2010

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. There are 17\1/2\ minutes remaining in 
debate.
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, I would now like to yield 2 minutes to my 
colleague from Florida (Mr. Mica).
  Mr. MICA. Mr. Speaker and my colleagues, I just want to take a couple 
of minutes of the House's attention on this rule. I'm not a happy 
camper tonight because my amendment was not accepted as part of this 
rule.
  I have the honor and privilege of representing not only suburban and 
urban areas in central Florida, but I have some rural areas. Maybe you 
have some rural areas. I asked for a simple amendment to assist my 
potato farmers. Now you wouldn't think in Florida of potato farming 
being a big industry; but in part of my district and rural area, we had 
an incredible disaster hit several months ago. We had 25 to 30 inches 
of rain over several days, and it wiped out the potato crop. Have you 
ever seen rotten water-sogged potatoes? These are rotten water-sogged 
potatoes.
  Now this may not mean a lot to many of the folks on the Rules 
Committee, but we've had a custom in the House of helping Members when 
they have a disaster in their district. I had a disaster in my 
district. This isn't affecting me personally. We're talking about $45 
million not that I even need appropriated, just that I need a small 
adjustment to get to these potato farmers, who are losing their 
livelihoods, who are closing down their farms.
  Again, we had a disaster in my district. I asked for an amendment--
one of many that were rejected--to give a little bit of leeway to 
farmers in central Florida who will lose their businesses, not be able 
to employ people, not to be able to have the money to plant the crops 
so next year they won't be in business. That amendment was rejected 
summarily by the Rules Committee. So I'm not a happy camper.
  Now I thought of coming out here and calling a motion to adjourn 
after every bit of business that went on here in the House. I didn't do 
that. I still may take that option, I'm telling you, because I have 
people that don't have jobs, don't have the possibility of continuing 
their farm business. I have asked for a simple change, not more money--
the money's there--but to allocate money through some of the existing 
programs so they can get the money now to put people to work, save 
their crops and save the next crop. I didn't get that cooperation, so 
I'm not a happy camper.
  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself as much time as I may 
consume.
  I appreciate that the gentleman is not a happy camper, and my 
sympathies go to his district for what it's going through. But as he 
knows, this is an appropriations bill. What he was doing was attempting 
to legislate on an appropriations bill, which would have been subject 
to a point of order under any circumstances. So maybe the gentleman 
could work with the appropriate committee to try to resolve

[[Page 17098]]

this issue. I surely would be willing to try to help him. But on this 
bill his amendment would have been made out of order under any 
circumstance.
  I have no further speakers other than me. I would yield to the 
gentlelady to close, and I reserve the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman from North Carolina has 3 
minutes remaining.
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, the American people know that in these tough 
economic times, they should save, not spend money. However, the Federal 
Government does not reflect the common sense I see throughout my 
district. Instead, the Democrats in charge continue to borrow more and 
spend more, increasing our Federal deficit on the backs of our children 
and grandchildren. The bill facing us after this rule is a 12 percent 
overall increase in funding from last year's bill. The U.S. national 
deficit is currently $11.5 trillion. With over 300 million people in 
the U.S. today, each citizen's share of this debt right now is $37,500. 
This bill will increase the deficit even more by borrowing and spending 
money we do not have. The majority can no longer blame the deficit and 
economic difficulties today on the previous administration. The 
Democrats in charge have shown they do not care about the deficit by 
continuing to dig America into a bigger and bigger hole with more 
reckless spending. This borrowed money is all being spent by Speaker 
Pelosi, the Obama administration; and as a result, the unemployment 
rate continues to rise, and the deficit continues to skyrocket. There 
are 322 earmarks tucked into this bill, totaling $220 million in 
borrowed money for pet projects. The bill contains $1.3 billion in 
grant funding, awarded solely at the discretion of the administration.
  Mr. Speaker, there is an article today in Politico that says that we 
have a train wreck in this country because of out-of-control Federal 
budget deficits. I would like to include that in the Record today.
  I'm going to urge my colleagues to vote ``no'' on the previous 
question so I can amend the rule to allow all Members of Congress the 
opportunity to offer his or her amendment to the Agriculture, Rural 
Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies 
appropriations bill under an open rule.
  I ask unanimous consent that the text of the amendment and extraneous 
material be placed in the Record prior to the vote on the previous 
question.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentlewoman from North Carolina?
  There was no objection.
  Ms. FOXX. Again, I urge my colleagues to vote ``no'' on the previous 
question and ``no'' on the rule.
  I yield back the balance of my time.

                              {time}  1815

  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, we need to pass this rule and we need to 
pass this bill. This is a bill that provides funds to protect public 
health, moneys for the Food and Drug Administration, and it funds 
hunger and nutrition programs including fully funding WIC. There is 
money in here for rural development, conservation, oversight, and 
enforcement.
  Let's be clear, Mr. Speaker, the reason why we need this bill is in 
large part due to the 8 years of Republican neglect and indifference on 
a lot of these issues. More people in America today are hungry than a 
year ago. And I will tell the gentlelady from North Carolina that yes, 
there are increases in this bill, although it still comes in under the 
requests of President Obama, but there are increases in this bill, 
especially to help deal with the fact that so many in this country 
can't afford to put food on the table.
  I will also say to the gentlelady that these aren't just homeless 
people or these are not just people without jobs. These are 
increasingly working families, people who are working who can't afford 
to put food on their table in the United States of America, the richest 
country on this planet. That is shameful. And globally, because of a 
lack of leadership over the last 8 years, over 1 billion people are 
hungry. That may not bother some of my colleagues on the other side of 
the aisle, but it bothers me, it bothers my constituents, and it 
bothers the American people.
  My friends can complain all they want, but it won't feed a single 
hungry child. My friends can try all the obstructionist tactics that 
they want, but it won't save a single rural family farm. The American 
people want relief. They want us to provide a helping hand. I think too 
many of my friends on the other side of the aisle seem to me more 
interested in delaying, obstructing, and killing important legislation 
than advancing it. That may be the advice of some high-priced political 
consultant at the Republican National Committee, but it is a bad way to 
serve the American people.
  Our side has repeatedly tried to reach out and reach an accommodation 
on debate and on amendments with the minority, only to be rebuffed.
  Mr. MICA. Will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. McGOVERN. No, I will not.
  Be that as it may, our job as the majority party is to do the 
business of the American people, and passing this legislation is a part 
of doing that job.
  I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on the previous question, 
``yes'' on the rule, and ``yes'' on the underlying bill.
  The material previously referred to by Ms. Foxx is as follows:

     Amendment to H. Res. 609 Offered by Ms. Foxx of North Carolina

       Strike the resolved clause and all that follows and insert 
     the following:
       Resolved, That immediately upon the adoption of this 
     resolution the Speaker shall, pursuant to clause 2(b) of rule 
     XVIII, declare the House resolved into the Committee of the 
     Whole House on the state of the Union for consideration of 
     the bill (H.R. 2997) making appropriations for Agriculture, 
     Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related 
     Agencies programs for the fiscal year ending September 30, 
     2010, and for other purposes. The first reading of the bill 
     shall be dispensed with. All points of order against 
     consideration of the bill are waived except those arising 
     under clause 9 or 10 of rule XXI General debate shall be 
     confined to the bill and shall not exceed one hour equally 
     divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority 
     member of the Committee on Appropriations. After general 
     debate the bill shall be considered for amendment under the 
     five-minute rule. Points of order against provisions in the 
     bill for failure to comply with clause 2 of rule XXI are 
     waived. During consideration of the bill for amendment, the 
     Chairman of the Committee of the Whole may accord priority in 
     recognition on the basis of whether the Member offering an 
     amendment has caused it to be printed in the portion of the 
     Congressional Record designated for that purpose in clause 8 
     of rule XVIII. Amendments so printed shall be considered as 
     read. When the committee rises and reports the bill back to 
     the House with a recommendation that the bill do pass, the 
     previous question shall be considered as ordered on the bill 
     and amendments thereto to final passage without intervening 
     motion except one motion to recommit with or without 
     instructions.

     Democratic Minority on multiple occasions throughout the 
     109th Congress)

        The Vote on the Previous Question: What It Really Means

       This vote, the vote on whether to order the previous 
     question on a special rule, is not merely a procedural vote. 
     A vote against ordering the previous question is a vote 
     against the Democratic majority agenda and a vote to allow 
     the opposition, at least for the moment, to offer an 
     alternative plan. It is a vote about what the House should be 
     debating.
       Mr. Clarence Cannon's Precedents of the House of 
     Representatives, (VI, 308-311) describes the vote on the 
     previous question on the rule as ``a motion to direct or 
     control the consideration of the subject before the House 
     being made by the Member in charge.'' To defeat the previous 
     question is to give the opposition a chance to decide the 
     subject before the House. Cannon cites the Speaker's ruling 
     of January 13, 1920, to the effect that ``the refusal of the 
     House to sustain the demand for the previous question passes 
     the control of the resolution to the opposition'' in order to 
     offer an amendment. On March 15, 1909, a member of the 
     majority party offered a rule resolution. The House defeated 
     the previous question and a member of the opposition rose to 
     a parliamentary inquiry, asking who was entitled to 
     recognition. Speaker Joseph G. Cannon (R-Illinois) said: 
     ``The previous question having been refused, the gentleman 
     from New York, Mr. Fitzgerald, who had asked the gentleman to 
     yield to him for an amendment, is entitled to the first 
     recognition.''
       Because the vote today may look bad for the Democratic 
     majority they will say ``the vote on the previous question is 
     simply a vote on whether to proceed to an immediate

[[Page 17099]]

     vote on adopting the resolution . . . [and] has no 
     substantive legislative or policy implications whatsoever.'' 
     But that is not what they have always said. Listen to the 
     definition of the previous question used in the Floor 
     Procedures Manual published by the Rules Committee in the 
     109th Congress, (page 56). Here's how the Rules Committee 
     described the rule using information form Congressional 
     Quarterly's ``American Congressional Dictionary'': ``If the 
     previous question is defeated, control of debate shifts to 
     the leading opposition member (usually the minority Floor 
     Manager) who then manages an hour of debate and may offer a 
     germane amendment to the pending business.''
       Deschler's Procedure in the U.S. House of Representatives, 
     the subchapter titled ``Amending Special Rules'' states: ``a 
     refusal to order the previous question on such a rule [a 
     special rule reported from the Committee on Rules] opens the 
     resolution to amendment and further debate.'' (Chapter 21, 
     section 21.2) Section 21.3 continues: Upon rejection of the 
     motion for the previous question on a resolution reported 
     from the Committee on Rules, control shifts to the Member 
     leading the opposition to the previous question, who may 
     offer a proper amendment or motion and who controls the time 
     for debate thereon.''
       Clearly, the vote on the previous question on a rule does 
     have substantive policy implications. It is one of the only 
     available tools for those who oppose the Democratic 
     majority's agenda and allows those with alternative views the 
     opportunity to offer an alternative plan.

                   Economist Declares ``Train Wreck''

                         (By Victoria McGrane)

       If you thought last week's job numbers were bad, take a 
     look at the latest from Morgan Stanley's chief economist, 
     Richard Berner.
       In a research note that's been making the rounds of 
     economics blogs this week, Berner declares that ``America's 
     long-awaited fiscal train wreck is now under way.''
       By ``train wreck,'' he means out-of-control federal budget 
     deficits that he's sure will finally drag the economy under--
     as if we weren't already feeling badly enough about its shaky 
     state.
       ``Depending on policy actions taken now and over the next 
     few years, federal deficits will likely average as much as 6 
     percent of [the gross domestic product] through 2019, 
     contributing to a jump in debt held by the public to as high 
     as 82 percent of GDP by then--a doubling over the next 
     decade,'' Berner writes on Morgan Stanley's online Global 
     Economic Forum.
       ``Worse, barring aggressive policy actions, deficits and 
     debt will rise even more sharply thereafter as entitlement 
     spending accelerates relative to GDP. Keeping entitlement 
     promises would require unsustainable borrowing, taxes or 
     both, severely testing the credibility of our policies and 
     hurting our long-term ability to finance investment and 
     sustain growth,'' he adds. ``And soaring debt will force up 
     real interest rates, reducing capital and productivity and 
     boosting debt service.''
       ``Not only will those factors steadily lower our standard 
     of living,'' Berner concludes, ``but they will imperil 
     economic and financial stability.

  Mr. McGOVERN. 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.
  Ms. FOXX. 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 609 will be followed by 5-minute votes on adopting that 
resolution, if ordered; and suspending the rules and adopting House 
Concurrent Resolution 142, if ordered.
  The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 239, 
nays 183, not voting 10, as follows:

                             [Roll No. 491]

[[Page 17100]]

  Ms. GRANGER changed her vote from ``yea'' to ``nay.''
  Mr. KRATOVIL changed his vote from ``nay'' to ``yea.''
  So the previous question was ordered.
  The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
  (By unanimous consent, Mr. Hoyer was allowed to speak out of order.)


                      Happy Birthday, John Dingell

  Mr. HOYER. Mr. Speaker, my colleagues, I have two duties that I want 
to perform tonight. One is a very happy one, and I will do that first.
  This institution has existed for a little over 200 years. One who 
sits among us has served for a quarter of that time. He is a historic 
figure. He is one of the most masterful legislators that ever has 
served in this body. He is a man of great integrity, intellect and, as 
I said, legislative skill.
  He has chaired one of this Congress's and this House's most important 
committees with broad jurisdiction and has dealt with matters across 
the spectrum of the jurisdiction of that committee. But 25 years from 
now, when he retires, he will be remembered most for his leadership on 
health, on health care for all Americans, on a passion to ensure that 
each and every American has the availability of affordable, quality 
health care. We are engaged in that issue on a bill that will be 
sponsored by this gentleman.
  Today, he is 83 years of age, 83 years young. My colleagues, as all 
of you know, John Dingell is revered by many, feared by some, respected 
by all.
  Let me now yield to my colleague and friend, the Republican leader, 
Mr. Boehner.
  Mr. BOEHNER. Let me thank my colleague for yielding and say, John, 
that there's hardly a Member in this entire body that is more respected 
than you, because while you can be a fierce partisan, many of us know 
that you are someone that we can work with, and we have worked with, 
and there is a lot of mutual respect.
  On behalf of all of our colleagues, John, we love you and want to say 
happy birthday to you.
  And while you are all standing, I have done this once before, it 
probably doesn't comply with the rules of the House, but for those of 
you who don't know the Boehner birthday song, the second verse is 
exactly like the first verse.
  This is your birthday song. It doesn't last too long. Hey.
  All right, everybody, ready. This is your birthday song. It doesn't 
last too long. Hey.
  Happy birthday.
  Mr. HOYER. Mr. Chairman, I know that every Member would, if we were 
going to take the time, rise to express their deep affection and 
respect and admiration for you, my friend. And I count it a great honor 
that you have been my friend for every year that I have served in the 
Congress, and I am looking forward to being with you for a long time to 
come.


                          Honoring Sally Crowe

  Mr. HOYER. Now, ladies and gentlemen, I said I rose for two purposes, 
one was happy. Obviously, that was the happy one.
  I came to Congress 29 years ago. John Dingell came to Congress 53 
years ago. Sally Crowe came to Congress 57 years ago. You may not know 
Sally Crowe by name, but you know Sally Crowe.
  Sally Crowe was the hostess who greeted all of us in the House 
restaurant. She was a wonderful spirit. She died while we were on break 
this month. She died after having had a very substantial fall. And 
others may have retired, as she surely could have. She chose not to 
retire, however, and she returned to the place that she loved and 
served so well.
  We are all advantaged by those who are not known widely outside this 
institution, but who served this institution with a devotion to 
country, devotion to the institution, and devotion to each and every 
one of us and, in Sally's case, to the guests who came and visited with 
us and ate with us in the dining room or were visitors here and ate 
there.
  She was courteous, kind, respectful, affectionate. I will remember 
Sally with great affection. Her family lives in my district.
  I want to say on behalf of all of us to her family how much we 
appreciated her love, her service to us and to her country; and I want 
to yield to my friend, Zach Wamp of Tennessee.

                              {time}  1845

  Mr. WAMP. I thank the leader, and on behalf of our side, we all rise 
to honor Sally's extraordinary life and service.
  I think there is nothing we can do more than to serve those men and 
women in the uniform of our armed services, and Sally thought there was 
nothing she could do greater than to serve us. And she did that for 57 
years.
  She died at 92, and she didn't like to talk at all about how long she 
had worked here or how old she was. She was Irish to the core, and she 
loved her Irish blood. She was feisty, beautiful, always pleasant.
  Many of you remember John Corbin who was her senior partner. He had 2 
years seniority on her, and he passed a couple of years ago. And no one 
really ever got out of him how long he had been here except he had been 
here 2 years longer than Sally, and now we know that he literally 
served 57 years and he passed 2 years ago. He would leave the Members' 
Dining Room and go work the post office all the way through his life, 
and lived almost as long as Sally, and she worked and wanted to work as 
long as she could breathe.
  She came here at 4:30 in the morning every day to beat the traffic. 
She was a creature of habit. She would sit there and wait for us to 
come in the morning. And I have to tell you, every one of you, the 
angels in Heaven are fascinated to be talking to Sally today. They are 
fascinated because she loved us and loved this House for 57 years. And 
we rise to honor her beautiful life. And her daughters today I hope 
will know that the full House appreciates Sally Crowe's life and 
service to us.
  Mr. HOYER. I want to thank my friend, Zach Wamp, for his memory of 
Sally and his expression of love on behalf of all of us.
  Sally was awarded the John W. McCormack Annual Award of Excellence 
for Service to the House. Without Sally Crowe, life in this building 
would have ground to a halt in many respects. Now it won't grind to a 
halt, it won't grind to a halt because we are advantaged by so many who 
care for this institution. And we thank them all.
  But today, we remember a wonderful, decent, good, loving human being, 
our friend, Sally Crowe. God rest her soul.
