                     PUBLIC LANDS SERVICE CORPS ACT


                  Amendment No. 2 Offered by Mr. Cole

  Mr. COLE. Madam Speaker, I have an amendment made in order under the 
rule at the desk.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       Amendment No. 2 printed in part C of House Report 111-445 
     offered by Mr. Cole:
       Page 20, line 14, after ``local'' insert ``, and tribal''.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 1192, the 
gentleman from Oklahoma (Mr. Cole) and a Member opposed each will 
control 5 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Oklahoma.
  Mr. COLE. I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Madam Speaker, I rise today to offer what I believe is a 
noncontroversial amendment that would amend the Public Lands Service 
Corps Act to allow the Secretaries to enter into arrangements with 
tribal governments in order to provide temporary housing for Corps 
workers. This would be in addition to other Federal agencies, States, 
local governments, or private organizations. Because tribal governments 
are not included under the umbrella of any of the bill's other 
categories, it is necessary to modify the bill's language to include 
them.
  Tribal governments enjoy a unique government-to-government sovereign 
relationship with the United States. Tribal governments regularly enter 
into similar agreements with a variety of Federal agencies and have 
done so for over 200 years, so this change would not disturb precedent.
  Throughout this bill, tribal lands are designated as a place for 
young adults employed in this program to expend their efforts. It makes 
sense, then, that these tribes would be able to house some of the 
participants, thereby enhancing the experience of these workers. Not 
only would this program connect participants to the land, but housing 
in the tribal areas could enhance their cultural understanding and 
awareness.
  Indian Country is as diverse as America itself, so obviously housing 
these individuals would not be ideal on some reservations. It is 
important, though, to include willing tribal governments in this 
program, as Native Americans are historically some of the best stewards 
of the environment and because the potential for cultural interchange 
in this program would certainly have great benefit for both the 
national lands conservation workers and the tribes.
  I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. GRIJALVA. Madam Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to claim the 
time in opposition to the amendment, although I am not opposed to the 
amendment.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the gentleman from 
Arizona is recognized for 5 minutes.
  There was no objection.
  Mr. GRIJALVA. Madam Speaker, this amendment would ensure that the 
tribes would be among the governments and groups with whom the 
Secretaries would contract to provide temporary housing for Corps 
participants.
  We support this amendment and appreciate the gentleman's efforts and 
appreciate the correction of an oversight.
  I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. COLE. I thank the gentleman very much, and I yield myself the 
balance of my time.
  Madam Speaker, I urge all Members to vote ``yes'' on this amendment. 
Again, this is a simple modification that will allow Native American 
tribes to enter into agreements to house the employees of the Public 
Lands Service Corps just like Federal agencies, States, localities, and 
private organizations.
  This designation will give the Departments of Agriculture and the 
Interior more housing options for these workers and will allow the 
tribes to be more fully engaged in the program.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. GRIJALVA. Madam Speaker, I would also urge support for the 
amendment and would also note that the Health Care Reform Act we are 
expecting to take up tomorrow includes the most sweeping changes to 
Indian health care in decades, long overdue.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the amendment offered by 
the gentleman from Oklahoma (Mr. Cole).
  The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that 
the ayes appeared to have it.
  Mr. GRIJALVA. Madam Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays.
  The yeas and nays were ordered.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3 of House Resolution 
1192, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman 
from Oklahoma will be postponed.


             Amendment No. 1 Offered by Mr. Bishop of Utah

  Mr. BISHOP of Utah. Madam Speaker, I have an amendment made in order 
under the rule.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       Amendment No. 1 printed in part C of House Report 111-445 
     offered by Mr. Bishop of Utah:
       Page 28, strike lines 8 through 13 and insert the following 
     (and redesignate the subsequent paragraphs accordingly):
       ``(1) in subsection (a), by striking `for each fiscal year' 
     and inserting `for each of fiscal years 2011, 2012, 2013, 
     2014, and 2015';''.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 1192, the 
gentleman from Utah (Mr. Bishop) and a Member opposed each will control 
5 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Utah.
  Mr. BISHOP of Utah. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may 
consume.
  This is a very simple amendment, an easily understandable one. It 
simply has two parts to it.
  Number one is you continue the funding authorization that is in the 
current law; and, number two, you add a 5-year sunset period in there.
  As I said earlier when we were talking about the base bill, there is 
nothing wrong with the things that we should be doing, but there is 
something wrong when we refuse to periodically exercise our legislative 
responsibility to review those things that we are currently doing.
  We do it all the time. The Endangered Species Act has a sunset, FLPMA 
has a sunset, The Elementary and Secondary Education Act has a sunset, 
all of which are designed to have us come back here and reevaluate what 
we are doing to make sure that our priorities have stayed the same. 
There is nothing wrong with a sunset. In fact, it should be standard 
fare in most of our pieces of legislation.
  If we are now creating this bill, which replicates AmeriCorps one 
more time, there is nothing wrong with saying let's review it every 5 
years to make sure we are still going on the path we originally 
determined.
  I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. GRIJALVA. Madam Speaker, I rise to claim time in opposition to 
the amendment.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Arizona is recognized for 
5 minutes.
  Mr. GRIJALVA. Madam Speaker, under existing law, funding for Public 
Land Corps is capped at $12 billion annually. The bill before us, H.R. 
1612, would remove this cap. The amendment offered by my colleague, Mr.

[[Page 4026]]

Bishop, would not only leave the cap in place, but also force the 
program to sunset in 5 years.
  Madam Speaker, as we all know, when the Republicans controlled this 
Congress and the White House, they presided over the largest increase 
in Federal spending in the history of this Nation. Amendments like this 
one provide important clues as to why that happened. Are we honestly 
worried about runaway spending on youth job, training, and education 
programs? Is it imperative that we clamp down on efforts to put young 
people to work repairing trails and visitor centers used by American 
families when they visit in parks and public lands? Of course not. This 
is the definition of being penny wise and pound foolish.
  Republicans want to cap and sunset a popular, effective, bipartisan 
jobs program; but when they controlled the entire Federal budget, they 
spent like sailors on leave. Big spending, runaway spending, all those 
analogies fit. This is a poor attempt to appear fiscally responsible 
after years and years of irresponsible free spending. This amendment is 
not necessary. The fact that this program is already incredibly 
popular, an enactment of H.R. 1612 would make it an even bigger 
success.
  Many Members will continue pushing to put young people to work and 
give them the job training they so desperately seek.
  Some in the minority can continue coming to the floor and nipping at 
the heels of these bills as we pass them. The American people will see 
which Members are serious about addressing unemployment and the 
condition of our parks and public lands, and which Members are just 
trying to mask that legacy of irresponsible spending.
  I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. BISHOP of Utah. Madam Speaker, once again, the process here is 
that it is not about whether a program is popular or not. The 
Endangered Species Act has popularity within certain groups. Obviously, 
higher ed has popularity and elementary education has popularity. The 
issue here is, do we adequately review these particular programs to see 
where we are and what our priorities ought to be? And if we don't, we 
have a tendency of losing those in the morass of the rest of the body, 
the plethora of legislation, the plethora of organizations that we 
simply have.
  This does not technically sunset the program. It sunsets the 
authorization for the appropriations for the program; the program goes 
on until further action is taken by this particular body, but it is the 
sequence that we use to try and see should we redo, should we continue, 
should we at least reevaluate what we are supposed to be.
  When we don't do those kinds of reevaluations, we abrogate 
legislative responsibility, and we pass it on to an executive branch 
which sometimes, well, always, has somewhat of a checkered response in 
its oversight responsibilities in these particular areas.
  Madam Speaker, this is the right thing to do. It is one of the things 
that could easily turn a bill that is right now partisan into a 
bipartisan bill so we don't have to look back and say what we did we 
could have done so much better. I urge approval of the amendment.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. GRIJALVA. I urge defeat of the amendment and remind that a review 
of this legislation is conducted every year by appropriators, and that 
committees of jurisdiction are not prevented in this legislation from 
conducting oversight of the programs. With that, let me urge defeat of 
the amendment.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the amendment offered by 
the gentleman from Utah (Mr. Bishop).
  The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that 
the noes appeared to have it.
  Mr. BISHOP of Utah. Madam Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and 
nays.
  The yeas and nays were ordered.
  The SPEAKER. Pursuant to section 3 of House Resolution 1192, further 
proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Utah will be 
postponed.


                Announcement By the Speaker Pro Tempore

proceedings will now resume on those amendments printed in part C of

                Announcement by the Speaker Pro Tempore

  The SPEAKER pro tempore (during the vote). Two minutes are remaining 
in the vote.

                              {time}  1208

  So the amendment was agreed to.
  The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
  Stated for:
  Mr. PASTOR of Arizona. Madam Speaker, on rollcall No. 149, had I been 
present, I would have voted ``yes.''

[[Page 4028]]

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 1192, the 
previous question is ordered on the bill, as amended.
  The question is on the engrossment and third reading of the bill.
  The bill was ordered to be engrossed and read a third time, and was 
read the third time.


                           Motion to Recommit

  Mrs. LUMMIS. Madam Speaker, I have a motion to recommit at the desk.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is the gentlewoman opposed to the bill?
  Mrs. LUMMIS. Yes, in its current form.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to 
recommit.
  The Clerk read as follows:

       Mrs. Lummis moves to recommit the bill H.R. 1612 to the 
     Committee on Natural Resources with instructions to report 
     the same back to the House forthwith with the following 
     amendments:
       Page 7, line 18, insert ``on public lands'' after 
     ``resources''.
       Page 15, line 17, strike ``and''.
       Page 15, line 18, insert ``and'' after the semicolon.
       Page 15, after line 18, insert the following:
       ``(iv) projects under the Healthy Forests Restoration Act 
     of 2003 (Public Law 108-148);
       ``Projects under this subparagraph shall be considered 
     priority projects;''.
       Page 18, after line 12, insert the following (and 
     redesignate the subsequent paragraphs accordingly):
       ``(8) By amending the text of subsection (f) (as so 
     redesignated), by inserting `involve improvements to Federal 
     property and' after `preference to those projects which'''.
       Page 28, line 13, after ``title'' insert ``, of which no 
     less than three quarters of the sums shall be made available 
     for healthy forests restoration priority projects under 
     section 204(e)(1)(B)(iv)''.
       Page 28, after line 16, insert the following:
       ``(o) Limitation on Use of Funds.--No person or entity who 
     is a party to a pending lawsuit against the dispensing 
     Secretary is eligible to receive funds authorized or made 
     available under this Act or amendments made by this Act.
       ``(p) Further Limitation on Use of Funds to Protect 
     Children.--No adult shall be eligible to receive funds or 
     participate in the Public Lands Service Corps program under 
     this Act or amendments made by this Act, if that person--
       ``(1) refuses to consent to a criminal history check;
       ``(2) makes a false statement in connection with such a 
     criminal history check;
       ``(3) is registered, or is required to be registered, on a 
     State sex offender registry or the National Sex Offender 
     Registry established under the Adam Walsh Child Protection 
     and Safety Act of 2006 (42 U.S.C. 16901 et seq.) or
       ``(4) has been convicted of murder, as described in section 
     1111 of title 18, United States Code.''.

  Mrs. LUMMIS (during the reading). Madam Speaker, I ask unanimous 
consent that further reading be dispensed with.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentlewoman from Wyoming?
  There was no objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman from Wyoming (Mrs. Lummis) 
is recognized for 5 minutes in support of her motion.
  Mrs. LUMMIS. Madam Speaker, this motion to recommit will strengthen 
and improve the Public Lands Service Corps program by ensuring it is 
focused on defined, priority activities and by adding safeguards 
against misuse of program funds.
  There are four clear and simple parts to this motion:
  First is an important provision that will protect the young men and 
women in the program from being subjected to registered sex offenders. 
People as young as 16 years of age are eligible to participate; and for 
many, a summer job with a Public Lands Corps project will be their 
first time away from home for an extended period of time.
  That is why this motion to recommit would require criminal background 
checks for the adults in the program who come in contact with the 
minors and would bar registered sex offenders from supervising these 
young people. The protections included in this motion are taken 
directly from those in the AmeriCorps program that we just passed in 
this Congress a year ago.
  Sex offenders should not be placed in positions of authority over, or 
be allowed access to, young people in the Public Lands Corps, just as 
they are prohibited in AmeriCorps. By voting for this motion to 
recommit, you will prohibit sex offenders from participating in this 
program and will be voting to provide basic protections for young 
people.
  Second, this motion restores the current act's emphasis on combating 
the threats of beetle infestation and wildfires that are devastating 
vast tracts of our public forest lands. Without this motion, urgently 
needed efforts to combat this ongoing tragedy will receive no priority 
whatsoever for funding.
  The Healthy Forests Act passed the House with strong bipartisan 
support, and yet this bill would erase the emphasis provided for 
Healthy Forests Act activities in the existing law. This is the wrong 
approach and a step backwards. Wildfire prevention and battling beetle 
and other infestations should be a priority to protect local 
communities and our national forests. These activities must be 
continued, not eliminated, as the bill would do. Voting for the motion 
to recommit will ensure this occurs.
  Third, this motion would prevent misdirection of grant funds by 
requiring that the projects funded actually make improvements to public 
lands rather than being used for public advocacy or junkets like the 
organic, micro-brewed beer bus tour we heard about from Mr. Bishop. 
This program is billed as a means of connecting young people to our 
public lands. So this motion very simply requires that funded projects 
occur on public lands and improve these lands.

                              {time}  1215

  Fourth and lastly, this motion would make any group that is engaged 
in a lawsuit against the government ineligible to receive grant funds. 
If you are going to sue the government, then you shouldn't collect 
grant money from taxpayers. This will ensure that political advocacy 
groups that sue the government are not supported by taxpayer dollars.
  This motion to recommit includes four commonsense improvements to the 
bill. I urge my colleagues to vote to prevent sex offenders from 
getting access to young people through this program, to vote to restore 
the bill to the priority status of wildfire prevention activities under 
the bipartisan Healthy Forests Act, to vote to ensure grant funds are 
spent and work actually on our public lands and not bus tours, and to 
vote to prevent grant money from going to groups that file lawsuits 
against the government.
  I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on the motion to recommit.
  Mr. GRIJALVA. Madam Speaker, I rise in opposition to the motion to 
recommit.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Arizona is recognized for 
5 minutes.
  Mr. GRIJALVA. The current bill would expand the public lands program 
to a dozen agencies. By restricting the use of the money that would be 
appropriated for the legislation, you effectively put three-quarters of 
it into forest activities, thereby eliminating the opportunity to be 
able to engage young people in a variety and a comprehensive look at 
opportunities in our public lands and in our public lands agency.
  The vast majority of the adults who participate in the program are 
Federal employees. The oversight is their responsibility in the agency. 
NPS rangers, forest rangers already get full background checks and full 
clearance. They already get full FBI checks. The minority failed to 
raise this issue during committees or at the Committee on Rules.
  The other issue is the issue of due process. To prohibit an 
individual or organization from being able to seek redress in a court 
of law I think is not only undemocratic, but sincerely wrong.
  The motion to recommit basically hamstrings the legislation, prevents 
it from being effective. It is a hodgepodge of items thrown in that 
were not before the Rules Committee and were not before the discussion 
on the full committee. I would urge a ``no'' vote.
  Let me point out thus far that only $7.5 million has ever been 
appropriated for Public Land Corps, and all of that

[[Page 4029]]

money was earmarked for forest health. Under this legislation before us 
today, it is our expectation that more funds will be available for all 
eligible projects, forest health as well as other programs.
  Finally, we never hear the end of it from the other side, the need to 
take care of lands we own before we do anything else. This program does 
precisely that. The motion to recommit hamstrings the program, reduces 
its effectiveness, narrows the opportunity for young people in terms of 
where they work and what training and what education they will receive, 
duplicates the process by which people are checked that are going to be 
working with young people in this program, and prevents and neglects 
full redress under our laws for individuals and organizations. I think 
those three items have nothing to do with the legislation. They are 
there to hamper the legislation.
  I would urge my colleagues to oppose the motion to recommit, to pass 
this legislation, and give full, meaningful employment opportunity for 
the young people that are right now suffering the most from a lack of 
jobs and for the young people that most need a second chance. This 
legislation is about opportunity. This legislation is about saving our 
public lands and educating our young people. The motion to recommit is 
about preventing that.
  I would urge all my Members not to be duped into that presumption, to 
go forward with the bill and pass the legislation as is, and oppose the 
motion to recommit.
  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 noes appeared to have it.


                             Recorded Vote

  Mrs. LUMMIS. 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 387, 
noes 21, not voting 22, as follows:
