        GENERATIONS INVIGORATING VOLUNTEERISM AND EDUCATION ACT

                     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. 1388) to reauthorize and reform the national service 
laws, with Mr. Pastor of Arizona in the chair.
  The Clerk read the title of the bill.
  The CHAIR. When the Committee of the Whole rose earlier today, 
amendment No. 5 had been postponed.


                 Amendment No. 6 Offered by Ms. Kilroy

  The CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 6 printed in 
House Report 111-39.
  Ms. KILROY. Mr. Chairman, I have an amendment at the desk.
  The CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       Amendment No. 6 offered by Ms. Kilroy:
       In section 122(a)(2)(A) of the National and Community 
     Service Act of 1990 as proposed to be amended by section 1302 
     of the bill, redesignate clauses (vii) and (viii) as clauses 
     (ix) and (x), respectively, and insert after clause (vi) the 
     following new clauses:
       ``(vii) addressing childhood obesity by providing 
     volunteers to organize and supervise

[[Page 7819]]

     physical education classes and after school physical 
     activities at elementary and secondary schools and providing 
     nutrition education to students;
       ``(viii) addressing issues faced by homebound elderly 
     citizens through food deliveries, legal and medical services 
     provided in the home, and providing transportation;''

  The CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 250, the gentlewoman from 
Ohio (Ms. Kilroy) and a Member opposed each will control 5 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Ohio.
  Ms. KILROY. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  I rise today regarding my amendment to the Generations Invigorating 
Volunteerism and Education Act, or the GIVE Act.
  My amendment would add additional opportunities to the GIVE Act by 
adding the Healthy Futures Corps, by helping children and the elderly.
  Mr. Chairman and Members, as a former VISTA volunteer, as a former 
school board member who helped bring City Year to my community, and as 
a former county commissioner who worked diligently on the issues of 
childhood obesity and hunger in our community, as well as with senior 
options, issues facing our homebound elderly, this amendment continues 
some of the issues and concerns that I have seen and recognized back in 
central Ohio.
  As somebody who has had close involvement with AmeriCorps and City 
Year and with VISTA, I can assert that these are very cost-effective 
programs that provide vital services to our community. In this 
instance, today, in Ohio, more than 30 percent of our children between 
the ages of 10 to 17 are found to be overweight or obese.
  As we know, childhood obesity leads to lifelong health consequences, 
including diabetes and heart disease. Our poorest children are more 
than twice as likely to be overweight. At a time when our schools are 
facing cuts, physical education classes are being cut and parents are 
working more than one job to keep families together, this program would 
allow us to step up, to help educate our children about living healthy 
lifestyles.
  My amendment focuses volunteers towards programs that combat obesity 
through physical education for children, after-school activities and 
nutrition classes. We simply cannot continue to ignore this nationwide 
epidemic and also the corollary epidemics of preventable chronic 
diseases.
  Physical education opportunities not only help to build strong bodies 
but help to build for these children habits for a healthy lifetime of 
good, healthy living. And, as I have seen this as a member of the 
school board, I believe that including physical education and exercise 
in our children's daily lives also helps them improve their learning.
  Along with our children, our elderly face challenges in obtaining 
access to health care and other services. Many senior citizens face 
restrictions on their movement, making them unable to leave their 
homes. It shuts them off from the world, and not only from medical 
care, but from social interaction, from companionship, dealing with 
other human beings.
  Our homebound elderly struggle to get food and adequate nutrition, 
because they are unable to shop for groceries. It can be a lonely life 
and a dangerous one where a fall can mean a painful end of their life. 
My amendment would also allow volunteers to bring food, medical 
supplies, and legal counsel to these senior citizens who may never be 
able to access these services otherwise.
  I ask for support of children and the elderly by supporting my 
amendment to direct volunteer services towards combating childhood 
obesity and providing services to the homebound elderly, to our senior 
citizens who we need to respect and care for in their later years.
  Mr. Chairman, America is facing unprecedented challenges, and it is 
in these times that Americans must come together to support one another 
by directing our attention to those who truly need our help.
  It was heartwarming to me to learn in our local newspapers that many 
people who have lost their jobs are devoting themselves to 
volunteerism, putting their talents to work.
  President Obama has called on Congress to create new opportunities 
for Americans, to build a stronger country, stronger communities and 
calling for a new era of service.
  This bill, the GIVE Act, is an answer to that call, a call to all 
Americans to help give back to their communities and to offer help to 
those of us in greatest need.
  Again, I can testify from my experience as a VISTA volunteer and 
being inspired by the young people in City Year, we see people helping 
people, helping themselves. We see young people becoming role models 
for other young people, and we see these young volunteers, themselves, 
learning and developing their own leadership skills.
  I support the GIVE Act. It helps people of all ages, from our schools 
and our school children to our seniors and encourages others to invest 
their time and passion in their communities.
  I urge support of this bill, which will signal a new era of social 
responsibility.
  The CHAIR. The time of the gentlewoman has expired.
  Mr. PLATTS. Mr. Chairman, I ask unanimous consent to claim the time 
in opposition to the amendment, although I am not opposed to the 
amendment.
  The CHAIR. Without objection, the gentleman from Pennsylvania is 
recognized for 5 minutes.
  There was no objection.
  Mr. PLATTS. Mr. Chairman, I would just quickly say I support the 
amendment, commend the maker of the amendment, the gentlelady from 
Ohio, for ensuring that through the GIVE Act we are looking out for our 
Nation's youth and our elderly, especially when it comes to their 
health and nutrition, and especially in the area of physical fitness. 
As we know, many schools are struggling to be able to provide physical 
education classes.
  I have a fourth grader and sixth grader and know how important those 
classes are to them, both from a health standpoint and from just a 
release to be out of school now and then and burn off a little energy. 
I think that probably makes them all the more focused in the classroom 
and maybe a little less antsy in the classroom, which benefits their 
teachers as well.
  I support the amendment.
  I yield 3 minutes to the gentlelady from North Carolina (Ms. Foxx).
  Ms. FOXX. I want to thank my colleague from Pennsylvania for yielding 
the time.
  I want to thank the gentlewoman from Ohio (Ms. Kilroy) for her 
service in various governmental capacities and for her amendment. We 
all agree that service to this Nation is important. That's why all of 
us are here. We serve our constituents.
  So I would like to ask the gentlewoman, Ms. Kilroy, why she voted to 
block consideration of a bill to require the Treasury Secretary to 
recoup the outrageous bonuses to AIG employees.
  This week, $165 million was awarded to 73 AIG employees. Today's vote 
would have stopped the bonus payments on behalf of American taxpayers 
and prevented future abuses of bailout funds. All Americans, my 
constituents, your constituents, which we serve, are outraged over this 
because it is taxpayers who are keeping this country alive.
  So I ask the gentlewoman from Ohio (Ms. Kilroy) why she didn't stand 
up and serve her constituents today. We all had a chance to do 
something today.
  I would like to yield to the gentlewoman for a response.
  Ms. KILROY. Mr. Chairman, I would like to address those comments. 
Nobody is more outraged by the actions of AIG than myself.
  Ms. FOXX. Reclaiming my time, I would like to ask the gentlewoman to 
answer my question. Why did you not vote for that bill to stop these 
payments?
  Ms. KILROY. If the gentlelady will yield, there have been votes on 
record in this House, including a vote prior to the last allocation of 
TARP funds, in which I am on record as asking for restrictions on 
executive compensation.
  Ms. FOXX. Reclaiming my time, I would like to ask the gentlelady to 
answer my question.

[[Page 7820]]

  The CHAIR. Members should direct their remarks in debate to the 
Chair.
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Chairman, I have asked the gentlewoman from Ohio for a 
simple answer and I am not getting that. I would like to ask her to 
please answer the question that I asked her: Why did she not vote to 
stop the bonuses to the AIG employees?
  Does the gentlelady refuse to answer?
  The CHAIR. Members are reminded to direct their comments to the 
Chair.
  Ms. FOXX. I yield to the gentlelady from Ohio.
  Ms. KILROY. It appears the gentlelady from North Carolina does not 
like the answers that she has been receiving.
  I am on record as being against excessive compensation, restrictions 
on bonuses paid to those recipients of the TARP fund.
  I think there should be a time and a place for this debate, and it is 
unfortunate that a debate on volunteerism and service has been turned 
into a debate on another issue.
  Ms. FOXX. Reclaiming my time, Mr. Chairman, the gentlewoman from Ohio 
says there is a time and place for this debate. She indicates this is 
not the time and place.
  It is my belief that this is the time and place for that debate. It 
is a time and place for there to be accountability and responsibility. 
We have heard those words over and over and over from the other side 
and from the President. It's time that the other side decides to live 
up to their responsibility and their accountability.
  The CHAIR. The gentleman from Pennsylvania has 1 minute remaining.

                              {time}  1430

  Mr. PLATTS. Mr. Chairman, I again rise in support of the amendment, 
and thank the maker of the amendment for offering it and urge a ``yes'' 
vote.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  The CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the 
gentlewoman from Ohio (Ms. Kilroy).
  The question was taken; and the Chair announced that the ayes 
appeared to have it.
  Ms. KILROY. Mr. Chairman, I demand a recorded vote.
  The CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on 
the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from Ohio will be postponed.


                 Amendment No. 7 Offered by Mr. Roskam

  The CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 7 printed in 
House Report 111-39.
  Mr. ROSKAM. Mr. Chairman, I have an amendment at the desk.
  The CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       Amendment No. 7 offered by Mr. Roskam:
       In the table of contents in section 1(b) of the bill, 
     strike the item relating to section 1601 of the bill and 
     insert the following:

    ``Sec. 1601. Family and medical leave and reports.''.

       In section 1513 of the bill, strike paragraphs (1) and (2), 
     and redesignate paragraphs (3) and (4) as paragraphs (1) and 
     (2), respectively.
       Amend section 1601 of the bill to read as follows:

     SEC. 1601. FAMILY AND MEDICAL LEAVE AND REPORTS.

       (a) Family and Medical Leave.--Section 171(a)(1) (42 U.S.C. 
     12631(a)(1)) is amended by striking ``with respect to a 
     project'' and inserting ``with respect to a project 
     authorized under the national service laws''.
       (b) Reports.--Section 172 (42 U.S.C. 12632) is amended by 
     adding at the end the following:
       ``(d) Evaluation Using Program Assessment Rating Tool.--
       ``(1) Study.--The Director of the Office of Management and 
     Budget shall conduct a study to evaluate the programs 
     authorized by this Act, including the amendments made by this 
     Act, under the Program Assessment Rating Tool or a successor 
     performance assessment tool that is developed by the Office 
     of Management and Budget.
       ``(2) Report.--The Director shall transmit to Congress a 
     report on the results of the study conducted under paragraph 
     (1) within 1 year of the date of enactment of this 
     subsection.
       ``(e) GAO Study.--
       ``(1) Study.--The Comptroller General shall conduct a study 
     of the National Civilian Community Corps program authorized 
     under subtitle E of title I.
       ``(2) Components of study.--The study conducted under 
     paragraph (1) shall consist of--
       ``(A) a comprehensive examination of the program;
       ``(B) an examination of the programs cost-effectiveness, 
     particularly in relation to other comparable AmeriCorps 
     service programs;
       ``(C) whether the program has data and quantifiable 
     measures to adequately assess the program's progress toward 
     achieving its strategic goals;
       ``(D) a review of the Office of Management and Budget's 
     2005 Program Assessment Rating Tool assessment of the 
     program; and
       ``(E) recommendations for future Congressional treatment of 
     the program, particularly assessing whether the program is 
     duplicative or could be more efficiently managed.
       ``(3) Submission.--The results of the study conducted under 
     paragraph (1) shall be submitted within 6 months of the date 
     of enactment of this subsection.''.

  The CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 250, the gentleman from 
Illinois (Mr. Roskam) and a Member opposed each will control 5 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Illinois.
  Mr. ROSKAM. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In a nutshell, this is an 
amendment that is meant to follow on some of the themes that President 
Obama articulated in his inauguration where he said--and I'm 
paraphrasing--``Programs that are good, we are going to continue to do, 
but those that are not so good, let's not do them.''
  Toward that end, this is an attempt to give us a diagnostic tool to 
make sure that we have a clear understanding of what's working and 
what's not working.
  So, in a nutshell, Mr. Chairman, the amendment directs the Office of 
Management and Budget to evaluate all programs authorized by the entire 
legislation under the Program Assessment Rating Tool or some successor 
standard to that.
  It also directs the GAO to conduct a review of the National Civilian 
Community Corps program, and it strikes one of the underlying 
provisions of the bill which, in my view, and I hope in the majority's 
view, we can do a little bit better, which would have eliminated the 
Community Corps' annual reporting requirement, and it would have said 
let us evaluate this in 2014. But instead, with the amendment, if it's 
adopted, Mr. Chairman, it will say let's continue on an annual basis 
with the evaluations.
  So I think it's short, sweet, not meant to be controversial, and it's 
my understanding that it is perceived in that way.
  With that, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. ANDREWS. Mr. Chairman, I ask unanimous consent to claim time in 
opposition, although we do not oppose the amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR (Mr. Blumenauer). Is there objection to the request 
of the gentleman from New Jersey?
  There was no objection.
  Mr. ANDREWS. Mr. Chairman, I thank you. We will support this 
amendment because we certainly want whatever analytical tools the 
Office of Management and Budget or whomever uses to rigorously look at 
all aspects of this bill and this program.
  We believe that it's a very sound program, but we certainly invite 
rigorous scrutiny of the expenditures of the program when it's adopted.
  I do want to address some of the remarks by my dear friend from North 
Carolina. I notice she's left the floor.
  She asked the rhetorical question, Mr. Chairman, ``When is the right 
time to discuss the bonuses paid by some of the recipients of the 
financial recovery legislation of last fall?'' The answer is: Probably 
within the next 24 hours.
  It's the intention of the House leadership, my understanding, to 
bring to the floor a bill which does not make a political point but 
actually solves the problem.
  So I think the short answer to the gentlelady's rhetorical question 
is: The right time is when you know what you're doing, when you have 
found the mechanism that will actually solve the problem, and you can 
bring the bill to the floor when it's the issue on the floor, and not 
make it into an ancillary diversion, which is what happened here.
  This bill is about improving and strengthening national service. We 
believe this amendment is consistent with the bill, and we will support 
the amendment.

[[Page 7821]]

  I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. ROSKAM. I yield 2 minutes to the distinguished gentleman from 
Tennessee (Mr. Roe).
  Mr. ROE of Tennessee. I thank the gentleman for yielding. I rise in 
support of conducting a GAO study of whether the NCCC and PART programs 
are accomplishing their mission in a cost-effective manner.
  While reauthorizing the Corporation for National and Community 
Service in our committee, I learned that approximately up to $27,000 
dollars is spent per volunteer in the NCCC. In Tennessee, where I am 
from, you can go to a university in our State for 3 years for that.
  I understand that this is a residential program, so there are 
additional costs for this program that don't exist for other programs, 
but it still seems high to me. I think it would be helpful to have an 
independent evaluation of this program to prove its effectiveness, and 
I thank the gentleman for yielding.
  Mr. ANDREWS. I support the amendment and yield back the balance of my 
time.
  Mr. ROSKAM. I thank the gentleman from New Jersey, thank the 
gentleman from Tennessee, and I yield back the balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the 
gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Roskam).
  The amendment was agreed to.


           Amendment No. 8 Offered by Ms. Markey of Colorado

  The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 8 
printed in House Report 111-39.
  Ms. MARKEY of Colorado. Mr. Chairman, I have an amendment at the 
desk.
  The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       Amendment No. 8 offered by Ms. Markey of Colorado:
       In section 129A(b) of the National and Community Service 
     Act of 1990 (as proposed to be inserted by section 1307 of 
     the bill), strike ``$600'' and insert ``$800'' and strike 
     ``$800'' and insert ``$1,000''.

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 250, the gentlewoman 
from Colorado (Ms. Markey) and a Member opposed each will control 5 
minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Colorado.
  Ms. MARKEY of Colorado. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I 
may consume. I'd like to thank Chairman Miller, Congresswoman McCarthy, 
and the entire committee for their diligent work on this important 
legislation.
  I rise today to urge my colleagues to support my amendment to H.R. 
1388. My amendment would increase the amount of funds that go to 
organizations to support national servicemembers. AmeriCorps is one 
such organization, and its members are making a difference in 
communities across the United States.
  Each year, AmeriCorps offers 75,000 opportunities for adults of all 
ages and backgrounds to serve through a network of partnerships with 
local and national nonprofit groups, including nine in my home State of 
Colorado.
  These projects have helped to coordinate such days as Martin Luther 
King Day of Service and Colorado Cares Day.
  Within my congressional district, the Weld County Youth Conservation 
Corps contracts with the city of Greeley and does everything from 
working in museums to making buildings handicapped-accessible to 
eradicating weeds in our State parks. The Corps maintains the Poudre 
River Trail Corridor, works at the Wray Fish Hatchery, and supports the 
forest service. In my rural district, VISTA members address poverty 
needs and disaster relief.
  Additionally, one of my constituents, Justin Horn, won ``Corps Member 
of the Year'' for the State of Colorado in 2008. Constituents in my 
district contribute to the great work being done around Colorado, along 
with 75,000 AmeriCorps programs across the country.
  To help our men and women do this admirable work, Congress 
established the Education Award Program in 1998 in order to address 
concerns about costs organizations incurred from hosting national 
servicemembers.
  Currently, organizations receive only $600 to support the individuals 
who are enrolled in full-time national service positions. This small 
amount helps to pay for operational and member support costs, including 
a living allowance. My amendment proposes an increase to that amount. 
In today's economy, these organizations are struggling.
  My amendment is not only an investment that will boost these 
organizations and their noble work but, at the same time, improve these 
communities throughout the United States.
  I urge all Members to support my amendment to H.R. 1388.
  I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. PLATTS. Mr. Chair, I rise to claim time in opposition, but I rise 
in support of the amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR. Is there objection to the request of the gentleman 
from Pennsylvania?
  There was no objection.
  Mr. PLATTS. I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  As I said, I rise in support of the amendment in strong recognition 
of the National Service Corporation's request for this additional 
ability to ensure they can recruit needed personnel.
  So I urge a ``yes'' vote.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. GEORGE MILLER of California. Would the gentlewoman from Colorado 
yield?
  Ms. MARKEY of Colorado. Yes, I yield.
  Mr. GEORGE MILLER of California. I want to thank the gentlewoman for 
introducing this amendment. It's an important amendment so that we can 
preserve the quality of these programs, and we can make sure that they 
remain accessible to all those who want to participate.
  This will help such grantees as the Boys and Girls Club of America, 
the Student Conservation Association, and so many other organizations 
that are responsible for covering this cost. This will help them out in 
that effort.
  They clearly are putting their own resources into this program. This 
is the Federal Government providing up as a good partner to increase 
the opportunities that the gentlewoman from Colorado has supported and 
spoken to the committee about.
  We support the amendment. Thank you.
  Ms. MARKEY of Colorado. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my 
time.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the 
gentlewoman from Colorado (Ms. Markey).
  The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes 
appeared to have it.
  Ms. MARKEY of Colorado. Mr. Chairman, 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 Colorado 
will be postponed.


                  Amendment No. 9 Offered by Mr. Hill

  The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 9 
printed in House Report 111-39.
  Mr. HILL. 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:

       Amendment No. 9 offered by Mr. Hill:
       In section 122(b)(1)(I) of the National and Community 
     Service Act of 1990 as proposed to be amended by section 1302 
     of the bill, insert ``, such as sending care packages to 
     members of the Armed Forces deployed in combat zones 
     overseas'' before the period.

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 250, the gentleman 
from Indiana (Mr. Hill) and a Member opposed each will control 5 
minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Indiana.
  Mr. HILL. I am happy that we are taking up this important piece of 
legislation today. I think it's the right thing to do. The President 
and the First Lady have, of course, been strong advocates for national 
service programs.
  The amendment that I am offering today evolved as a result of a bill 
that I introduced in this session. It's House

[[Page 7822]]

Resolution 1090, called the Homefront Heroes Tax Relief Act. It's a 
bill that gives support to our troops and our military families who are 
serving our country.
  This legislation actually came about because of a constituent of mine 
in Bloomington, Indiana--Indiana University Professor Catherine 
Dalton--who came up with the idea. She had been sending care packages 
to Iraq and incurring a lot of expense. These care packages were sent 
to families and to soldiers in Iraq that were not related to her own 
family.
  Everybody wants to help our troops, and this fine young woman was 
doing just that. She was helping our troops, on her own. But she was 
also incurring a lot of expense. So she came to me and said, 
``Congressman Hill, I think it would be a good idea to help people like 
myself who are trying to help our troops, and that is the expenses that 
we incur are tax deductible on our income taxes.''
  So I filed the bill, the Homefront Heroes Tax Relief Act, to allow 
people like Professor Dalton to do just that.
  So my amendment simply ensures that sending care packages to members 
of the armed services deployed in combat are also included in the 
eligible national service program.
  Currently, people like Professor Dalton have to just absorb these 
expenses. If this amendment is passed, it would allow volunteer 
programs that send care packages to members of the armed services to be 
eligible for grant funding under the GIVE Act.
  With that, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. PLATTS. Mr. Chairman, I ask unanimous consent to claim time in 
opposition to the amendment, although I am not opposed to the 
amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR. Is there objection to the request of the gentleman 
from Pennsylvania?
  There was no objection.
  Mr. PLATTS. I yield myself such time as I may consume. I rise in 
strong support of the amendment. I thank the gentleman from Indiana for 
offering this amendment.
  Having had the privilege to visit our courageous troops eight times 
in Iraq and five times in Afghanistan, I know how much these care 
packages from home really mean to the troops, and how they look forward 
to them and what a morale boost it is.
  I think recognizing this type of service, especially to those who are 
serving us in harm's way, is a wonderful amendment, a change to the 
legislation, and urge a ``yes'' vote.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. GEORGE MILLER of California. Will the gentleman yield for 30 
seconds?
  Mr. HILL. I will yield.
  Mr. GEORGE MILLER of California. I just want to commend him for 
offering this amendment, for all of his work on behalf of not only our 
veterans, but service people on active duty and in support of his 
constituent from Indiana that came up with this idea to start sending 
care packages to our troops in service in the theaters of battle.
  We clearly think this is a consistent use and allowable use under the 
National Service Act, and we welcome the amendment and support it.
  Mr. HILL. I yield myself such time as I may consume. I thank the 
chairman and the ranking member for this bipartisan support. This is a 
bipartisan bill and amendment, and I am sure it will gain a lot of 
Democrat and Republican votes.
  This is the right thing to do. This is how democracy is supposed to 
work. We are supposed to listen to our constituents who have good ideas 
and come here to Washington to pass good legislation. So I am happy 
that we have this bipartisan support.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the 
gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Hill).
  The amendment was agreed to.

                              {time}  1445

     1302 of the bill), insert after ``opportunities'' the

       In section 122(a)(4)(A)(iv) of the National and Community

       In section 122(a)(4)(A)(vi) of the National and Community

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 250, the gentleman 
from New Mexico (Mr. Teague) and a Member opposed each will control 5 
minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from New Mexico.
  Mr. TEAGUE. Mr. Chairman, I rise today to offer an important 
amendment to an important piece of legislation, the GIVE Act. My 
amendment, which I am offering together with my friend, Congressman 
Klein of Florida, establishes that a Veterans Volunteer Corps would 
engage in activities that are important to veterans in my district and 
across the country.
  Those activities include: Helping veterans pursue education and 
employment by coordinating with State and local agencies that 
administer education and job programs for veterans; helping veterans 
file benefit claims; and, aiding rural, disabled, and unemployed 
veterans with transportation needs.
  This amendment is especially important for veterans in rural areas 
like the one I represent. Many veterans in my district have to travel 4 
hours or more to reach a veterans hospital for doctor appointments. For 
folks who would require constant medical care, the burden of this 
travel weighs heavily on both the veteran and his or her family. 
Ensuring that a veteran can receive a helping hand for transportation 
through the GIVE Act will mean so much to men and women in Southern New 
Mexico and rural areas across the country.
  Additionally, providing access to knowledgeable volunteers for 
veterans applying for their benefits can be a guiding light through the 
maze of the benefits application process. Veterans service 
organizations across the country already provide assistance like this 
at veterans benefits centers often on a volunteer basis. My amendment 
bolsters their critical service.
  Mr. Chairman, this amendment invests in our veteran community, while 
also allowing our veterans to invest in themselves and their fellow 
vets.
  I thank my chairman on the Veterans' Affairs Committee, Congressman 
Filner, for his assistance and support of this amendment, and I thank 
Chairman Miller.
  I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. PLATTS. Mr. Chairman, I ask unanimous consent to claim the time 
in opposition to the amendment, although I am not opposed.
  The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, the gentleman is recognized for 
5 minutes.
  There was no objection.
  Mr. PLATTS. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  I just rise in support of the amendment. I want to commend the 
gentlemen from both New Mexico and Florida for offering this amendment, 
a great

[[Page 7823]]

addition to the bill, and, as with the previous amendment, ensuring we 
do right by those who are serving our Nation, past and present, and 
that we recognize the sacrifices they have made in defense of our 
Nation, along with their families, and that we now keep our commitment 
as a Nation to them. I urge a ``yes'' vote.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. TEAGUE. I yield to Chairman Miller 30 seconds.
  Mr. GEORGE MILLER of California. I thank the gentleman for yielding. 
I want to thank him for bringing this to the committee and offering 
this amendment.
  All of us in our congressional offices know how thin the support 
services for the veterans as they seek out occupational opportunities, 
therapy opportunities, all of the needs that our returning veterans 
have. The gentleman is making a great contribution to this legislation, 
especially since this is the first time that we have fully integrated 
veterans into the national service corps of this Nation. These kinds of 
services are in desperate need in so many areas of the country. This is 
a very important amendment to making sure that our veterans are able to 
proceed with all of their needs when they return home.
  I thank the gentleman for offering the amendment, and I urge passage 
of the amendment.
  Mr. TEAGUE. Mr. Chairman, I yield the remaining time to the cosponsor 
of this amendment, Congressman Klein of Florida.
  Mr. KLEIN of Florida. I thank the gentleman.
  Mr. Chairman, Members, I rise in strong support of this amendment and 
the underlying bill. Congressman Teague and I introduced this amendment 
in order to clarify the services that could be formed by Veterans' 
Corps volunteers anywhere.
  I represent Palm Beach and Broward Counties in south Florida, home to 
many of our Nation's veterans. We all agree that when Americans who 
wear the military uniform return from service, they deserve to be 
treated with the highest level of respect and dignity that they have 
earned. This includes making sure they receive the benefits they are 
entitled to, and I know we all share that commitment.
  While the United States Department of Veterans Affairs and military 
staff work hard to ensure that every veteran gets full advantage of the 
benefits they have earned, some veterans still have difficulty 
navigating the system and coming up with all the necessary documents. 
By allowing trained Veterans' Corps volunteers to guide them through 
this process, we can ensure more veterans obtain the benefits they were 
promised.
  With thousands of new servicemembers returning from Afghanistan and 
Iraq, the job of the Veterans' Corps is more critical than ever. As of 
September 2008, 330,000 Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans have filed 
disability claims with the VA; yet, 54,000 are still waiting for 
confirmation that the VA even received their claims. The average wait 
for a disability claim is more than 6 months. This amendment could help 
these veterans access the services they need.
  I can think of few priorities greater or more urgent than providing 
basic services such as these to our brave men and women who serve to 
protect our country, secure our peace, and safeguard our way of life.
  I would like to thank my colleague, Congressman Teague, for working 
with me on this amendment, and particularly Chairman Miller for 
introducing this important piece of legislation, which will enable 
hundreds of thousands of Americans to dedicate their time to a cause 
that is bigger than themselves through volunteerism and community 
service. I urge adoption of this amendment and a ``yes'' vote on the 
underlying legislation for the betterment of our community and our 
country as a whole.
  Mr. LUJAN. Mr. Chair, I rise in support of the GIVE Act and the 
amendment offered by Congressman Teague of New Mexico and Congressman 
Klein of Florida. This is a great example of furthering our commitment 
to America's veterans, and I commend Congressman Klein and my fellow 
New Mexican, Congressman Teague, for leading the effort to ensure our 
veterans have access to resources and programs that will benefit them.
  During times of crisis and economic hardship, Americans have always 
joined together to overcome obstacles. The GIVE Act will provide 
Americans with the tools to get our country back on track by working in 
their communities. Americans of all ages have always responded to the 
call of service in times of crisis, and this legislation helps 
Americans to respond to this call by creating new opportunities to 
serve. This amendment ensures that those who are no strangers to 
service to our nation--our veterans--are included in this bill.
  I urge my colleagues to join me in supporting this amendment to put 
veterans back to work and train them for civilian careers. This 
addition would provide support to veterans in their pursuit of 
education and professional careers, and assist disabled and unemployed 
veterans with transportation needs. This is an important step in moving 
forward with constructive legislation that gives due respect to those 
who have given so much. I thank Congressman Teague and Congressman 
Klein for their efforts on behalf of our nation's veterans and urge an 
aye vote.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the 
gentleman from New Mexico (Mr. Teague).
  The amendment was agreed to.

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 250, the gentlewoman 
from Nevada (Ms. Titus) and a Member opposed each will control 5 
minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Nevada.
  Ms. TITUS. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  I rise today in support of this amendment, which will create a 
National Service Reserve Corps.
  In recent years, we have watched with broken hearts when the 
aftermath of some natural disaster has left people homeless, jobless, 
and helpless. But we have also felt, as we witnessed our fellow 
citizens rise to the occasion with perseverance and selflessness to 
assist those in need, a real hope for the future.
  Many wonderful Americans, including Members of this body, have 
reached into their hearts and their pockets to help, to serve, to work, 
and to give. The creation of a National Service Reserve Corps will make 
sure that those who are most eager to serve and already have the 
training that communities need can be deployed quickly and effectively.
  Our amendment will create a National Service Reserve Corps composed 
of alumni of AmericaCorps and Senior Corps programs. These wonderful 
volunteers can be identified and called upon in time of natural 
disasters and emergencies to start the relief and rebuilding process 
post haste. The corps members will not only have the valuable training 
and experience from their year of service, but they will also receive 
annual training sessions in emergency response.
  Our Nation is facing numerous economic challenges, and Nevada, my 
State, is one of the hardest hit. We have endured record foreclosures 
and an unemployment rate that is approaching double digits. Nevada 
AmeriCorps volunteers have been invaluable to our communities in need. 
Over 2,000 AmericaCorps members have served in 15 different programs; 
they have provided more than 2.5 million hours of service, and have 
earned over $4.7 million in education credits. In 2007, AmericaCorps 
programs contributed over 25,000 hours of service to Nevada, and 
members recruited over 3,300 community volunteers who then gave more 
than 23,000 hours of service.
  With public need rising all across the country, we must do all we can 
to shore up volunteer programs and provide opportunities to those who 
want to be of service. By creating a National Service Reserve Corps, we 
will create an organized deployment system for those citizens who are 
ready to serve and are trained to do so.
  We will also show volunteers and anyone who is considering a year of 
national service that we value their contributions and we will continue 
to honor it in the years to come. So I encourage my colleagues to 
support this amendment as well as final passage of the GIVE Act.
  Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. 
Perriello).
  Mr. PERRIELLO. Mr. Chairman, I rise today in support of this great 
national service bill, and specifically the Reserve Corps amendment. I 
rise also as a proud member of the community service generation. My 
generation, which was often given a hard time for not voting, was 
always volunteering in record numbers. We did believe in the idea of 
civic duty and community service that we had learned from our 
grandparents in the greatest generation, and we saw through the 
original AmericaCorps programs and others what a great idea service 
was. Not only was it a chance to help out those struggling in our 
community, but it was a chance to build our own character and our own 
sense of commitment to community and to country.
  I come from the nonprofit sector. I spent most of the last decade 
before Congress in the nonprofit sector, and I have not had a day of 
that experience go by that I did not feel that I had benefited as much 
as I had helped. I have worked in West Africa, in Darfur, and in the 
communities with at-risk kids back here at home, and always enjoyed and 
celebrated that time.
  There are a few things that I have learned from that time in the 
nonprofit sector that I believe have gone into this Reserve Corps 
amendment. First and foremost is the idea that once you get someone to 
volunteer for a little piece of time, you have turned them into a 
volunteer for life. Volunteering is a wonderful program, and where we 
can reach out and help people become volunteers we will see that 
continue to come back to our communities time and time again.
  And this cannot be something that is only affordable to those with 
wealth. We have so many displaced workers who want to volunteer, senior 
citizens who want to volunteer, community and

[[Page 7825]]

high school students. And we need to be celebrating and fostering that 
spirit of service.
  Finally, we need to respect and understand the level of 
professionalism in our nonprofit and volunteer sector. People learn 
skills here that are incredibly valuable to our community, and this 
Reserve Corps is based on the idea that once we have made that 
investment in giving someone the skills to be a great high-level 
professional in their community, let's keep them on as a Reserve Corps 
so that we can call them up in times of great national emergency, like 
Hurricane Katrina, to help them rebuild levees, to help build low-
income homes. Let's make volunteerism not something just to do for a 
summer, but something to do for a lifetime.
  I believe this amendment reaches into the best of the American 
tradition of service and the best of our sense of this being not 
something that happens for one generation, but across generations, 
particularly at this time of economic crisis when we must all come 
together.
  Mr. PLATTS. Mr. Chairman, I ask unanimous consent to claim the time 
in opposition to the amendment, although I am not opposed to the 
amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, the gentleman is recognized for

Nevada and the gentleman from Virginia for their amendment and urge a

       Amend the table of contents in section 1(b) by striking the

Sec. 1304. Prohibited activities and ineligible organizations.

       Amend the table of contents of the National and Community 
     Service Act of 1990 (as proposed to be amended by section 
     4101 of the bill) by striking the item relating to section 
     125 and inserting the following:

``Sec. 125. Prohibited activities and ineligible organizations.''.

  Ms. FOXX (during the reading). I ask unanimous consent to dispense 
with the reading.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentlewoman from North Carolina?
  There was no objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman from North Carolina is 
recognized for 5 minutes.
  Ms. FOXX. Madam Speaker, this motion to recommit codifies current 
regulations with regard to activities and organizations ineligible for 
grants from the Corporation for National and Community Service and 
AmeriCorps volunteers.
  The activities include lobbying, protesting, union organizing, 
engaging in partisan political activities or religious instruction, 
conducting voter registration, or providing direct benefits to for-
profit businesses, labor unions or political parties.
  It also adds to the list of organizations, those that promote or 
provide abortions, as well as for-profit organizations, political 
parties, labor organizations, lobbyists, and those indicted for voter 
fraud. Organizations are also prohibited from receiving funds under 
these instructions if they are also co-located with an organization 
that engages in prohibited activities.
  Finally, no organization that receives funds under this bill may 
displace current employed workers or volunteers.
  Madam Speaker, the overriding principle here is that money is 
fungible. Funds must be used for the purpose of service and encouraging 
others to serve within their communities. They must not be allowed to 
be used for prohibited activities.
  Groups that might be eligible for these grants and volunteers, if 
this motion to recommit were not to pass, include a laundry list of 
organizations that engage in activities that many Americans do not 
support.
  For example, ACORN employees and supervisors have been indicted for 
voter fraud in recent history. During the 2008 election, proof surfaced 
that voter registration by the group was, in the words of the New York 
Times, ``vastly overstated,'' including registrations for Disney 
characters and Dallas Cowboy football players. Experts say that 
instances of inaccurate registration and fraud are greater when 
volunteers receive payment for their services. The American taxpayer 
should not be forced to pay for fraudulent behavior in the name of 
promoting community service.
  For the current 2008-2009 AmeriCorps service year, Oregon Planned 
Parenthood has listed position for a paid volunteer. This AmeriCorps 
volunteer would be responsible for ``providing, promoting and 
protecting access to reproductive sexual health care for the women, 
men, and teens.''
  While individuals should be aware of how to access health care 
services within their communities, the Federal Government prohibits use 
of Federal funds to be used for abortion as a form of family planning. 
Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion provider in the U.S. Federal 
taxpayer dollars should not be used to fund volunteers at organizations 
such as this.
  Volunteerism plays a critical role in meeting many needs in our 
society. However, the Federal Government should not be paying 
individuals to volunteer their time at locations that are prohibited 
from receiving taxpayer dollars, especially when Americans are already 
facing budget constraints from all the demands they face. This is not 
acceptable.
  This motion to recommit ensures that taxpayer dollars are not 
directed toward programs that are politically divisive and morally 
objectionable. It also ensures that AmeriCorps volunteers and 
recipients of corporation grants do not disrupt current volunteer 
activities and employee responsibilities.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. GEORGE MILLER of California. Madam Speaker, I am against it, but 
I will not oppose it.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from California is recognized 
for 5 minutes.
  Mr. GEORGE MILLER of California. Members of the House, I want to 
begin by thanking all of you for your support for this legislation, for 
the bipartisan support we have received throughout the committee 
deliberations in our committee, and the support that we received both 
in the Rules Committee and on the floor today.
  As we went through the amendment process, Members of Congress from 
both sides of the aisle spoke in favor of this most important American 
value, and that is service to our country, service to our neighbors, 
service to our communities, and that's what's reflected in this 
legislation. It is a rather remarkable mosaic of organizations and 
individuals from every corner of this country, from large cities to 
small rural towns that have responded to the needs of others, and they 
have responded without question. They have responded with their skills, 
their talents, and they have come forth to build a stronger America and 
a better community.
  Earlier today at an event that we had with many of the volunteers to 
discuss this legislation, we were honored with the presence of Captain 
Scott Quilty, who retired from the Army after 10 years of service as a 
decorated infantry captain and Army Ranger during his tour in Iraq, 
where he led a platoon assigned to train, assess and build the 
operational capacity of a 460-man element of the Iraqi Army.
  In that tour of duty, he lost an arm and a leg. When he returned to 
America, as if he hadn't given enough service to America, he 
immediately joined the organization of Survivor Corps to help our 
returning vets when they come back to this country after serving in 
Afghanistan, Iraq, and other places around the world, to reintegrate 
with their families, their communities, their schools, their jobs, 
their friends, their neighbors.
  We were honored with Scott Quilty. And at that very same service, a 
gentleman walked up to me and handed me these, many of us see this when 
we tour our Army bases or our Air Force Bases or meet with the troops, 
it's called the Young Marines, and they do much of the same service. 
They give their time to our veterans. But they are not the only ones. 
We have senior grandparents, we have Teach For America, we have 
Jumpstart, we have Americans doing all of this.
  We have Americans in the AmeriCorps that organized over 300,000

[[Page 7831]]

hours of volunteer service when the floods hit Iowa. They were there 
first. They came with their first responders in California with the 
wildfires and with the floods. They showed up early and they stayed 
late with Katrina and Rita.
  This is what we celebrate with this legislation, and I want to thank 
you for your support and your good words on behalf of these people, 
Americans all, who step forward every time one of us needs them or the 
community needs them.
  This legislation will strengthen and enable more Americans to be able 
to do so. It will tie in an educational benefit so that young children 
can have a service experience in middle school and high school and 
schools will become the center of service for young people in their 
communities.
  Now let me get to the motion to recommit. I think, as we have only 
seen it for a few minutes, I think most of the motion to recommit is, 
in fact, already covered in statutes, regulations and the grant 
agreements that are issued. We are well aware of these issues. The 
Members on both sides of the aisle have spoken to them, and they have 
offered statutes, not only in this act, but in other acts, making sure 
that people who get these grants don't engage in activities that they 
should not be.
  So we plan to accept this amendment. I appreciate the gentlewoman 
offering it, and we will take it to conference.
  But, again, I want to thank you for supporting this legislation in 
advance of your support, and I would ask that you feel free to vote for 
the motion to recommit.
  Again, I ask for passage of the bill.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the previous question is 
ordered on the motion to recommit.
  There was no objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion to recommit.
  The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that 
the ayes appeared to have it.


                             Recorded Vote

  Ms. FOXX. Madam Speaker, I demand a recorded vote.
  A recorded vote was ordered.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XX, the Chair 
will reduce to 5 minutes the minimum time for any electronic vote on 
the question of passage.
  The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 318,
