 CORRECTING ENROLLMENT OF H.R. 470, HOOVER POWER ALLOCATION ACT OF 2011

  Mr. HASTINGS of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules 
and concur in the concurrent resolution (S. Con. Res. 32) to authorize 
the Clerk of the House of Representatives to make technical corrections 
in the enrollment of H.R. 470, an Act to further allocate and expand 
the availability of hydroelectric power generated at Hoover Dam, and 
for other purposes.
  The Clerk read the title of the concurrent resolution.

  The text of the concurrent resolution is as follows:

                            S. Con. Res. 32

       Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives 
     concurring), That, in the enrollment of the bill (H.R. 470) 
     an Act to further allocate and expand the availability of 
     hydroelectric power generated at Hoover Dam, and for other 
     purposes, the Clerk of the House of Representatives shall 
     make the following corrections:
       (1) In the second sentence of section 105(a)(2)(B) of the 
     Hoover Power Plant Act of 1984 (43 U.S.C. 619(a)) (as added 
     by section 2(d)), strike ``General'' and insert ``Conformed 
     General''.
       (2) In section 2(e), strike ``as redesignated as'' and 
     insert ``as redesignated by''.
       (3) In section 2(f), strike ``as redesignated as'' and 
     insert ``as redesignated by''.
       (4) In section 2(g), strike ``as redesignated as'' and 
     insert ``as redesignated by''.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from 
Washington (Mr. Hastings) and the gentleman from New Mexico (Mr. Lujan) 
each will control 20 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Washington.


                             General Leave

  Mr. HASTINGS of Washington. I ask unanimous consent that all Members 
may have 5 legislative days to revise and extend their remarks and 
include extraneous materials on the resolution under consideration.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Washington?
  There was no objection.
  Mr. HASTINGS of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as 
I may consume.
  Senate Concurrent Resolution 32 is an enrolling correction for H.R. 
470, bipartisan legislation introduced by our Nevada colleague, Dr. Joe 
Heck.
  Dr. Heck's bill, which allocates hydropower generated at Hoover Dam 
to a number of utilities in California, Arizona, and Nevada, has been 
passed by both the House and the Senate. However, some in the Senate 
insisted that a number of technical changes needed to be made to the 
bill even though the affected agency indicated that it could implement 
H.R. 470 as passed by both Chambers.
  Nevertheless, we'll not object to this enrolling resolution making 
such technical changes because the base legislation is important for 
that area. So I urge adoption of this measure.
  I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. LUJAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  On October 18, the Senate approved H.R. 470, the Hoover Allocation 
Power Act of 2011, by unanimous consent. The Senate also approved 
Concurrent Resolution 32, which authorizes the Clerk of the House of 
Representatives to make small technical changes to the enrolled version 
of H.R. 470.
  We fully support the proposed changes to H.R. 470 and urge adoption 
of Senate Concurrent Resolution 32.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. HASTINGS. Mr. Speaker, again, I urge adoption of this resolution, 
and I yield back the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the 
gentleman from Washington (Mr. Hastings) that the House suspend the 
rules and concur in the concurrent resolution, S. Con. Res. 32.
  The question was taken.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. In the opinion of the Chair, two-thirds 
being in the affirmative, the ayes have it.
  Mr. LUJAN. Mr. Speaker, I object to the vote on the ground that a 
quorum is not present and make the point of order that a quorum is not 
present.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, further 
proceedings on this question will be postponed.
  The point of no quorum is considered withdrawn.
