             FULL-YEAR CONTINUING APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2011

  The Committee resumed its sitting.
  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Madam Chair, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Arizona (Mr. Flake).

[[Page 2516]]


  Mr. FLAKE. I thank the gentlelady for yielding.
  The gentleman before said, in the base bill, these represent the 
largest cuts we've ever made. That is true, but we are running the 
largest deficit we have ever run. We have had the largest debt we have 
ever had, and what the situation calls for are deeper cuts than are in 
the underlying bill.
  If we are really going to get on the right track here, we have got to 
understand that we have to make unprecedented cuts and realize that 
what we are doing here is a rounding error compared to what we are 
going to have to do with entitlement spending, which is going to come. 
But to ensure that we can make those choices when we deal with 
entitlements, we've got to go deeper than we are going in this base 
bill.
  Again, we are running a deficit of $1.5 trillion this year on a debt 
of $14 trillion. The $100 billion in the base bill is 1/15th of the 
entire deficit that we are running--just 1/15th. That's not enough. We 
have to go further. I support the Jordan amendment. Let's make deeper 
cuts.
  Mr. DICKS. I yield 1 minute to the distinguished gentleman from 
Pennsylvania (Mr. Brady), who has been the chair and ranking member of 
the House Administration Committee.
  Mr. BRADY of Pennsylvania. Thank you for allowing me to speak on 
this.
  Madam Chair, I am embarrassed to be here. I am embarrassed to be a 
Member of this House right now. I am embarrassed to have to stand up 
here and fight for the little people who can't fight for themselves.
  I was here on 9/11. I was in my office, and the police officers came 
in to get me out of my office. I wanted to stay. They said, No, 
Congressman, we've got to get you out. As he's taking me out, he's 
going back in. He's putting his life in harm's way, and we're talking 
about taking money from him. It's totally ridiculous.
  Madam Chair, we don't want to hurt our little guys and gals; we don't 
want to hurt our House staff members; we don't want to hurt our 
administrators, our Sergeant-at-Arms, our doorkeepers, the ladies in 
the cloakroom who take good care of us. All of these people and the 
administrators here don't make overtime. They put their time in like we 
do.
  We're running 67 hours in this House today--67 hours. Do you know 
what it's costing us? $2 million to put this CR on a bridge to nowhere. 
That's where it's going. It's a disgrace that we've got to hurt the 
little people, and I'm not going to let that happen.
  You hear about yield back. Well, we yield back. We want them to yield 
back their money. We want them to yield it back to us. They do an 
excellent job.
  Madam Chair, I don't want them to yield back. I'm not going to let 
them yield back. I'm not even yielding back now. I'm just done.
  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Madam Chair, how much time remains on each side?
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Tennessee has 10\1/2\ minutes 
remaining. The gentleman from Washington has 11 minutes remaining.
  Mrs. BLACKBURN. At this time, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
New Hampshire (Mr. Guinta).
  Mr. GUINTA. I thank the gentlelady from Tennessee for yielding time.
  Madam Chair, I am not embarrassed to be here as part of this 
institution. I am honored. I am honored to represent New Hampshire in 
its quest for fiscal discipline, fiscal responsibility, and fiscal 
restraint.

                              {time}  1250

  Ladies and gentlemen, we are at the precipice of our country in terms 
of spending. We simply offer an amendment that further reduces the 
necessary spending restraints our country is demanding. This is about 
listening to our country, listening to the people who just elected this 
Congress to restore discipline with respect to our spending 
recognitions in Washington.
  Ladies and gentlemen, this amendment, which I am happy and honored to 
cosponsor, first cuts our own institution. In New Hampshire, I say to 
the people in New Hampshire, we are going to cut first ourselves before 
we make other tough cuts in this country.
  This amendment further reduces our own expenditure. And, finally, it 
takes 5.5 percent across the board with a few exceptions in the eight 
non-security divisions of the CR.
  I support this amendment. I think we have to get serious about 
spending in this Nation and send a strong message that we are listening 
to the American people.
  Mr. DICKS. I yield 1 minute to the distinguished former chairman and 
ranking member of the THUD Subcommittee, the gentleman from 
Massachusetts (Mr. Olver).
  Mr. OLVER. Madam Chairman, this is a thoughtless and destructive 
amendment. I strongly oppose the underlying bill and believe it 
profoundly limits the transportation options for Americans and will 
damage our economy through hundreds of thousands of lost jobs. But I do 
respect that Chairman Latham provided oversight and made tough 
decisions on priorities.
  Unfortunately, the Jordan amendment, after all these days of 
individually considered amendments, does none of that. It reduces every 
account by 5.5 percent without any understanding or probably even 
concern for the impact. For example, it ensures a part-time air traffic 
control system by cutting more than half a billion from the operating 
expenses of the FAA. Does the gentleman really intend to close down the 
Columbus, Cincinnati and Cleveland airports 1 day each month?
  This amendment would result in the funding shortfall of nearly a 
billion dollars in the tenant-based section 8 program, resulting in the 
eviction of 120,000 people.
  Mrs. BLACKBURN. I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. DICKS. I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Oklahoma (Mr. 
Cole), a valued member of the Interior Appropriations Subcommittee.
  Mr. COLE. This has been a great week for fiscal conservatives. Under 
Chairman Rogers and the Appropriations Committee and the entire 
Republican Conference, we have actually enacted or are on the verge of 
enacting historic cuts and passing them through this body. We have let 
others come and participate with their ideas and suggestions.
  My concern is not the amount of money involved in the amendment; it's 
the method adopted to achieve the savings. Across-the-board cuts 
essentially mean you lose the ability to eliminate, to root out and to 
prioritize. In fact, you adopt the priorities of the people that wrote 
the original budget. And with all due respect to my friends on this 
side, that means we are adopting our friends' on this side's priorities 
when we cut in this manner.
  So I think we should embrace the spirit behind this amendment--it's 
well motivated--but reject the method, and go back to the thoughtful, 
targeted and tough kinds of decisions that Chairman Rogers, the 
Appropriations Committee and our entire conference and every Member has 
had the opportunity to participate in.
  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Madam Chair, I yield 30 seconds to the gentleman from 
Kansas (Mr. Huelskamp).
  Mr. HUELSKAMP. I thank the gentlelady for yielding.
  I rise in support of this amendment.
  The American people have spoken. They demand that Washington stop its 
out-of-control spending now, not sometime in the future. And despite 
what the administration tells you, every last dime in this bill will be 
borrowed. Every last dime of the $1 trillion will be borrowed. The cost 
of this bill, this bill alone, will exceed $500 for every single 
household in America, just for this bill.
  We have to stop the spending now. We cannot afford it. The massive 
debt burden on our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren 
cannot be afforded.
  Mr. DICKS. I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Alabama (Mr. 
Bonner), a distinguished member of the committee.
  Mr. BONNER. I thank the gentleman for yielding.
  I rise to add my voice in opposition to the amendment offered by my 
friend from Ohio.

[[Page 2517]]

  I, too, am a member of the RSC. I think many of the good points that 
have been made on the House floor during the last few days can be 
attributed to the good work and the heartfelt convictions of the 
members of the Republican Study Committee and its long-standing 
commitment to freedom and liberty. But I believe this approach taken by 
this amendment is misguided.
  Madam Chair, the Appropriations Committee has put before the House a 
CR that makes significant cuts to all areas of our Federal Government, 
but these cuts have been made with deliberate intent and after careful 
consideration. In other words, they have been done surgically, and I 
believe this amendment would take a more indiscriminate hatchet 
approach.
  The Republican Pledge to America states, ``we will roll back 
government spending to pre-stimulus, pre-bailout levels, saving us at 
least $100 billion in the first year alone''; but it doesn't say we 
have to accomplish this task in the first spending bill before us, and 
it did not envision accomplishing it in the remaining 7 months.
  I hope we can defeat this amendment.
  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Madam Chair, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Indiana (Mr. Pence).
  Mr. PENCE. Madam Chair, this Nation currently faces a $1.65 trillion 
deficit, $14 trillion national debt. And despite all the talk for the 
President's so-called fiscal discipline, this administration just 
proposed a budget that will add $12 trillion to that mountain range of 
debt facing our children and grandchildren.
  Fortunately, under the leadership of Chairman Rogers, House 
Republicans are keeping our word to the American people. We said, if 
you gave us a second chance to lead this Congress, we would find at 
least $100 billion in savings this year, and House Republicans will do 
that before we adjourn for this week.
  But House conservatives believe we can do more. I truly believe that 
the Jordan amendment--which provides an across-the-board cut of 5.5 
percent, more for the legislative branch, doesn't touch our most 
cherished ally, Israel--is one of those opportunities where you have a 
chance to underpromise and overperform.
  We said to the American people that we would do at least $100 
billion. We have added hundreds of millions of dollars to that. Let's 
do more. Let's do $22 billion more. Let's underpromise, overdeliver, 
and set this Nation back on a pathway towards fiscal responsibility and 
reform.
  Mr. DICKS. I yield 1 minute to the distinguished gentlewoman from 
Connecticut (Ms. DeLauro), who is the ranking member on the Labor-HHS 
subcommittee.
  Ms. DeLAURO. If the majority party really wanted to do something 
about the deficit, they could look to other parts of the budget for 
significant cuts in savings instead of coming back over and over again 
with ever-deeper cuts to the programs that make investments in 
education, in health care, in job training and in scientific research.
  Democrats are committed to reducing the deficit. We believe you ought 
to start by ending the tax subsidies and special interest waste. Let's 
look at it:
  Forty billion dollars in oil subsidies, $8 billion in farm subsidies, 
$7.4 billion that could be saved by shutting down the practice of 
treaty shopping, $3 billion a year that could be saved if we allowed 
cheaper generic drugs in the market.
  This across-the-board amendment cut is an example of the majority's 
reckless rush to slash without regard to the impact on the economy, the 
businesses that create jobs, or middle class working people who are 
doing their best for their families and educating their kids for the 
future.
  The majority is hitting families and children and the elderly, and 
they are not laying a glove on the special interest tax subsidies.
  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Madam Chair, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Texas (Mr. Barton).
  Mr. BARTON of Texas. I rise in strong support of the Jordan 
amendment. I am obviously not a freshman. I have been in the Congress 
for 26 years. I am very supportive of what Chairman Rogers and all the 
appropriators have done.
  I think it's an interesting point to have the ranking minority member 
yielding to the chairman of the committee, but that's Congress at its 
finest.
  But I would point out that our budget deficit this year is $1.6 
trillion. I would point out that the Obama budget, the smallest deficit 
it reports over a 10-year period, is about $750 billion.

                              {time}  1300

  The Republican Study Committee, under the leadership of Mr. Jordan, 
is the point of the spear that is lancing the out-of-control, reckless 
Federal spending that is bankrupting this country. This amendment 
complements what Chairman Rogers has done. We need to support it, to 
put them in the best position when we have the negotiations with our 
friends in the other body. Please vote for this necessary amendment.
  Mr. DICKS. I yield 1 minute to the distinguished gentleman from Notre 
Dame and California (Mr. Lungren), the former Attorney General.
  Mr. DANIEL E. LUNGREN of California. I stand before you as a 
conservative member of the Republican Study Committee, former chairman 
of the Republican Study Committee, in strong opposition to this 
proposal.
  Across-the-board cuts are a lazy Member's way to achieve something. 
This will cut 11 percent for the security of the Congress. Since the 
tragedy in Tucson, I have had innumerable Members come to me as the 
chairman of House Administration and asking me what more we can do for 
the security of this House, our Members, and our constituents. There is 
not a single Member of this House who has asked me to cut security. 
Quite the contrary. This would cut 250 officers. It would not allow me 
to do the things you have asked me to do in terms of securing your 
offices here or at home.
  Secondly, the greatest obligation we have here, I believe, is 
oversight of the Federal Government. So what does this amendment do? It 
cuts us twice as much as those we are supposed to follow. It makes no 
sense whatsoever. If you want us to do our job and be secure in our 
job, I would humbly ask you to defeat this amendment.
  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Madam Chair, I yield myself 15 seconds to respond to 
the gentleman's comments.
  I would take issue with saying any Member of this House is lazy or 
that this is a lazy process. Indeed, it is not. As I said, 26 States 
have used across-the-board cuts to get their fiscal house in order. 
This government has overspent. We have to get it under control. Let's 
complement what has been done by the appropriators and make these 
across-the-board cuts.
  I yield 30 seconds to the gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Duncan).
  Mr. DUNCAN of South Carolina. Madam Chair, I rise today in support of 
this amendment.
  Folks, it's time to stop the spending insanity in this country. The 
American people know the government's too large, it spends too much 
money, and indebts future generations. We are $14 trillion in debt and 
we are $1.5 trillion in the red this year.
  I am part of an 87-Member freshman class that said go back to the 
drawing board, get us a hundred billion; but don't stop there. Do not 
stop there. We have got hard decisions to make in this body. Everyone's 
got to row this boat if we are going to survive as an American 
government. We have got to stop. I support this amendment, and ask you 
to do so as well.
  Mr. DICKS. I yield 1 minute to the distinguished ranking member of 
the Agriculture Subcommittee from California (Mr. Farr).
  Mr. FARR. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
  I rise in opposition to this amendment. We have been on a 3-day 
marathon talking about how we are going to cut, squeeze, and trim the 
Federal Government. Frankly, we haven't even hit the big stuff. 
Seventy-five percent of the budget isn't even up for discussion here on 
the floor. What you are seeing with this amendment is you are taking a 
meat axe to essentially a bloody mess.

[[Page 2518]]

  We know this bill is not going anywhere because it doesn't really get 
into trying to do structural reform. If we really wanted to deal with 
debt, you deal with a plan to get rid of debt, not just with a hacking 
and hacking away. Let's devise a plan that will really make this 
country deal with its debt just like you do with your mortgage, your 
long-term mortgage. It's a lot of money. People aren't scared, as long 
as they have a job, to how they are going to pay their mortgage because 
they have a plan. That's not what we are getting at. This amendment is 
a meat axe to a bloody mess that ought to be opposed.
  Mrs. BLACKBURN. I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. DICKS. I yield 1 minute to the distinguished chairman of the 
Agriculture Subcommittee, and a member of the Defense Subcommittee, Mr. 
Kingston of Georgia.
  Mr. KINGSTON. I thank the gentleman for yielding and rise in 
opposition to this amendment. And I do so as a proud RSC member and 
somebody who fought hard to get us to $100 billion in this cut, who has 
pledged to work for more cuts in fiscal year 2012. I support the 
Goodlatte balanced-budget amendment and the spending cap.
  But I have got to say to my conservative friends, when you cut across 
the board, who do you think is going to be in charge of where these 
cuts come from? The EPA Director, who is putting in the clean air and 
all the greenhouse emissions stuff. Do you think she is going to cut 
that out of her budget? What about the Department of Justice? You think 
they are going to take this out of the lawsuit money to Arizona? What 
about the EPA that came up with a law that dairy farmers had to have an 
emergency response plan if they spilled milk because it was considered 
an oil? What about the immigration department? Do you think they are 
going to back off their priorities, or do you think they are going to 
implement RSC priorities?
  You and I have some disagreements with the administration, so I don't 
see why it helps us to empower them to make the decisions on where this 
5 percent will come from. Because I can say if I was them, I know what 
I would cut, and it would not be the priorities that you would have.
  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Madam Chair, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Florida (Mr. Southerland).
  Mr. SOUTHERLAND. I thank the gentlewoman from Tennessee for yielding 
time.
  I rise in support of the Jordan amendment. You know, many people here 
have taken notice that many of us are freshmen. Well, I am a freshman, 
and I am proud to be a freshman. I tell you this, one thing I am not a 
freshman at, I am not a freshman at trying to perpetuate my family's 
55-year-old business that's struggling under the taxation and the 
regulation of this Federal Government. I am not a freshman when it 
comes to that.
  I am an expert, because that's what my dad did and that's what my 
granddad did. And God willing, if this body practices courage and does 
what is right, my children and my grandchildren down the line will be 
able to continue and perpetuate that line of tradition.
  You know, I hear the words meat axe and draconian. What's draconian 
and meat axe is leaving every American in this country with $43,000 of 
national debt, $14 trillion of debt, which puts us at a very weak 
standing among the world, which owns now 50 percent of our debt. That 
is a security issue.
  People stand here and they talk about security. Nothing is greater to 
our security than making sure that we own our debt rather than those 
countries around the world who mean us harm.
  Mr. DICKS. I yield 1 minute to the distinguished gentleman from 
Melbourne, Florida, where my uncle was the former mayor, Mr. Posey.
  Mr. POSEY. I thank my friend across the aisle for the time. I thought 
the across-the-board cuts were not supposed to apply to national 
security. I thought we were going to make cuts like the folks back home 
make cuts. If a family back home gives an across-the-board 5 percent 
cut and they apply it, they are in deep trouble.
  They might be able to cut back on their entertainment. They might be 
able to not go out to eat an extra night. They may be able to cut back 
on their water or their electric usage. But if they pay their mortgage 
company 5 percent less than is due for the security over their head, 
they are out on the street; and they end up in bigger problems than 
they started. So I think that's why we need to make these cuts 
surgically in our budget.
  Let's take NASA, for example. The committee already cut over $300 
million from the NASA budget. The Weiner amendment cut $300 million 
more almost. Why would anyone want to yield the ultimate military high 
ground, which is space, to countries who in the very best of times are 
not friendly to us? Space is the free world's Golan Heights. I implore 
my colleagues to help defeat this very, very well-intended, but 
misguided, amendment. Thank you very much.
  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Madam Chair, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
California (Mr. Campbell).
  Mr. CAMPBELL. I thank the lady from Tennessee for yielding. You know, 
I came down here because I heard the opposition to this amendment 
decrying about the devastation that will occur to the country if this 
amendment were to pass, and I would like to make just two points.
  One, discretionary spending in this country has increased 38 percent 
in the last 4 years, 38 percent. Has Americans' spending increased 38 
percent? Has Americans' income increased 38 percent? No. All this 
amendment does is it asks the government to spend what it spent 2 years 
ago.

                              {time}  1310

  Most Americans would probably like to do that. Why is that such a 
devastation? But there's even a greater reason. We have a $1.5 trillion 
going to $1.6 trillion deficit. If we do not get this debt under 
control--and fast--we will be making cuts of 50 percent overnight 
because of the debt crisis that will hit when people stop buying our 
debt. Madam Chair, this does not threaten government services. It is 
actually a step toward saving them from the debt crisis that is ahead 
of us.
  Mr. DICKS. I yield 1 minute to the distinguished gentleman from New 
Jersey (Mr. Frelinghuysen) who is the chairman of the Energy and Water 
Appropriations Subcommittee and a valued senior member of the Defense 
Subcommittee.
  Mr. FRELINGHUYSEN. I thank the gentleman for yielding.
  I would like to associate my remarks with those who rise to oppose 
the amendment, basically because it's across the board. Right now we 
are affecting the Army Corps of Engineers in a way that will affect 
most of our major navigation around the country. Mississippi, Missouri, 
Ohio River. We need to get these projects moving. They are important to 
commerce, billions of dollars of commerce, suppliers, producers. And 
lastly, there is a national security aspect. We need to maintain the 
reliability of our nuclear stockpile. That's under the Department. 
There is nothing more important than the nuclear stockpile. Protecting 
that stockpile, making sure it's reliable, and that we meet the 
requirements of cleanups across the Nation. Across the board cuts would 
impact that in a big way.
  Mrs. BLACKBURN. I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. DICKS. Madam Chair, how much time do we have on both sides?
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Washington has 2 minutes 
remaining. The gentlewoman from Tennessee has 4\1/4\ minutes remaining.
  Mr. DICKS. I yield 1 minute to the distinguished gentleman from 
Virginia (Mr. Wolf), the chairman of the Commerce, Justice, and Science 
Subcommittee.
  Mr. WOLF. I thank the gentleman.
  I rise in opposition to the amendment. If we really want to deal with 
getting deficits under control, we have got to deal with entitlements. 
Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security, that's where we have to go.
  Secondly, this really will result in the layoffs of several hundred 
FBI

[[Page 2519]]

agents at the FBI. We met with Director Mueller on Friday. Can you see 
the message when Osama bin Laden in a cave in Pakistan hears that the 
FBI has had a layoff of FBI agents? Thirdly, it would require layoffs 
at the DEA.
  Lastly, for anybody interested in NASA--and so many Members came up 
to say, Please, help NASA--this would result in a $1 billion cut of 
NASA and the losses of thousands of jobs not only of NASA employees but 
also NASA contractors in Alabama, in Florida, in Texas, in California, 
and around the country. I urge defeat of the amendment.
  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Madam Chair, I yield the balance of my time to the 
gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Jordan), the author of this amendment.
  Mr. JORDAN. I thank the gentlelady for yielding.
  Madam Chair, let me start by thanking the Appropriations Committee. I 
do appreciate the work they have done. Look, this is unprecedented. 
Appropriators cutting tens of billions of dollars, getting to the $100 
billion that is so important and what we told the voters we were going 
to do. I appreciate that.
  But I am still struck with this fact: One thing that the American 
people understand is that spending is out of control. There is no way 
around it. And several speakers have went through and listed this 
program that would be impacted, this agency that would be impacted. 
Look, I understand that. It's not pleasant to reduce spending. I get 
that. But I always bring it back to what the typical family has to do.
  Think about the family out there who is making $50,000 a year and 
spending $85,000. There are some good things that that other $35,000 is 
being spent on, probably some very good things. Maybe they are going 
out to dinner or they have an entertainment night, and they are doing 
good things, healthy things for their family. But the point is that 
they are spending more than they are taking in, and they have to cut 
back, even if some of those things are positive things.
  And the Federal Government is even worse because we are taking in 
$50,000 and spending $85,000 year after year after year, and the 
President's budget highlights that. We run trillion-dollar deficits for 
the next decade. We pile up more debt on top of the $14 trillion. This 
amendment builds on a good bill and simply says, Let's get to a full 
$100 billion in savings outside of national defense and non-security 
savings. We think that's a good first step towards putting this country 
on a path that is actually sustainable, as the gentleman from Arizona 
pointed out, towards at least reducing our deficit by one-fifteenth. 
Imagine that, just one-fifteenth. This is what the American people sent 
us here to do. This is what the American people elected 87 freshmen 
Republicans to do, just this very thing, to reduce spending.
  I just want to finish with this, because sometimes the people of this 
country say it a lot better than the politicians. In my time in public 
life, I have never seen the American people more receptive to the 
things that have to be done to fix this country. They get it. The 
central question is, Will the political class demonstrate the same 
commitment, the same courage that the American people have demonstrated 
over the last year? Let me read you this, and this just came to our 
office 2 days ago.
  ``Dear Representative Jordan, my research center receives the 
majority of its funding from Federal Department of Education sources. 
If those funds are cut, we stand to lose our programs and, as a result, 
maybe our livelihoods. However, my greater concern is with the future 
of this Nation. Federal spending, if not dramatically cut, will 
inevitably lead to this Nation's ruin and will destroy all 
opportunities for our children. We must bring sanity back to the 
management of our Nation's fiscal resources. Jim, our forefathers 
pledged their lives, their fortune, and their sacred honor to create an 
exceptional Nation where our rights are endowed by our Creator. If I 
have to sacrifice my livelihood to maintain this great experiment 
called America, it's the very least I can do in service to this 
country. Please stand firm in your fight for fiscal responsibility to 
preserve this great Nation.''
  Colleagues, that's the standard of the American people. That's the 
commitment we have to meet. That's what this debate is all about. If we 
don't do this, the future for our kids and our grandkids is diminished. 
This is about making sure America remains the greatest country in 
history.
  I urge a ``yes'' vote on the amendment.
  Mr. DICKS. I yield 1 minute to the distinguished gentleman from 
Idaho, Mike Simpson, who has been the ranking member on Interior and 
now the chairman of the Interior and Environmental Subcommittee.
  Mr. SIMPSON. I thank the gentleman for yielding.
  It's important to remember what we're doing here. We're dealing with 
a CR that funds the government for the last 7 months. This is not a 
full-year appropriation bill. We're dealing with a much shorter period 
of time. So the $100 billion that we were asked to reduce in this 
budget, if you looked at it, by the time this probably gets done, 
would, in effect, be about $200 billion if it were a full-year 
appropriations bill. The Appropriations Committee has done its job. It 
has done what our Conference asked us to do.
  We had actually had amendments on the floor that would reduce some 
accounts to less than what they have in the appropriations process. So 
I guess they would be paying us, I don't know. But some of the 
amendments have just gone too far. This one I think goes too far. And 
as some have said, across-the-board cuts don't give us the opportunity 
to decide what our priorities are. What we need to do is make sure that 
we get this amendment defeated, that we get this CR to fund the 
government for the last 7 months passed, and then get on with doing a 
budget for 2012, which was not done last year, and pass the 
appropriations bills so that we can fund the government for the next 
year at a level that I think many of the RSC members will be happy with 
when we get that done.
  Mr. DICKS. Madam Chair, I move to strike the requisite number of 
words.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Washington is recognized for 5 
minutes.
  Mr. DICKS. I yield 1 minute to the distinguished lady from Texas, Kay 
Granger, who is the chairman of the State, Foreign Ops Appropriations 
Subcommittee.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman may yield but not blocks of time.

                              {time}  1320

  Ms. GRANGER. Madam Chairwoman, I rise in opposition to the Jordan 
amendment.
  This amendment would cut an additional $2.5 billion from the State, 
Foreign Operations title of the CR after the subcommittee has brought 
significant and thoughtful cuts to the table. This title is already $10 
billion below 2010, including supplementals. To achieve that, we put 
lower priority programs on pause, reduced and eliminated 
underperforming, wasteful and duplicative programs and zeroed out 
administrative priorities like climate change.
  The programs that are funded in the State, Foreign Operations title 
of this bill protect our top national security priorities. The 
gentleman claims his amendment exempts national security, but it does 
not exempt the national security provisions in the State, Foreign 
Operations title. The Jordan amendment reduces U.S. operations in 
frontline states including Afghanistan and Iraq.
  The subcommittee has tried to responsibly protect these funds from 
drastic reductions in the State, Foreign Operations title, given that 
we have men and women in harm's way in our civilian forces just as we 
do in our military forces.
  Aside from cutting $450 million from security assistance, the 
amendment would cut $55 million from the Pakistan Counterinsurgency 
Capability Fund.
  Israel is protected from this amendment's cuts, but Egypt, Jordan, 
Afghanistan, and Iraq are not. Given the fragile situation in these 
frontline states and in the Middle East, I believe cutting these funds 
would undermine our security.

[[Page 2520]]

  Madam Chairman, for these reasons I must oppose the amendment.
  Mr. DICKS. I yield to the chairman of the Transportation 
Appropriations Subcommittee, THUD, Mr. Latham from Iowa.
  Mr. LATHAM. I thank the gentleman for yielding.
  And I appreciate very much what's going on and the reduction of 
spending. I'm just very concerned that this is not really a thoughtful 
way of doing it, that if we're after waste, fraud and abuse in our 
budget, this is going to cripple us as far as finding out where those 
places are. It will continue to fund items, lines in the budget that 
have waste, fraud and abuse and will not eliminate those.
  And also, when you look at just the transportation portion, I think 
the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Olver) brought the point up too, 
but this would, in fact, stop air traffic control for a period of 
weeks. And I don't think many of us here would like to see our airports 
close down for several weeks because we don't have air traffic control. 
And that's exactly what would happen.
  Mr. DICKS. Reclaiming my time, I yield to the gentlewoman from 
Missouri, the chairman of the Financial Services Appropriations 
Subcommittee.
  Mrs. EMERSON. I want to echo the words of all of our colleagues in 
opposition to this bill.
  Let me talk a little bit about two things that in my bill, the 
Financial Services bill, that would be drastically impacted.
  Number one, an additional 5.5 percent cut totaling $1.02 billion 
would actually reduce assistance to small businesses but would hurt 
agencies that protect American citizens from deceptive business 
practices and fraud.
  In addition to that, it would result in dangerous cuts to the 
Treasury Department's Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence, 
funding for enforcement of Iran sanctions, judicial security and drug 
task forces.
  I realize it's a well intentioned effort, but it goes too far. I urge 
a ``no'' vote.
  Mr. DICKS. I yield to the distinguished gentleman from Virginia.
  Mr. MORAN. Madam Chairwoman, the CR, I believe, is irresponsible, but 
this amendment would commit this country to an economic death spiral. 
It may sound like heresy, but the reality is you can't run the 
strongest government and the strongest economy in the world on less 
than 15 percent of GDP.
  Look back to the Clinton years when we were at 20 percent. We had the 
strongest economy ever. People at the top tax rates brought home more 
after-tax income than any time in American history. We created 23 
million more jobs and we had a surplus. And that surplus is what we 
should be aiming for.
  Not only do we need to cut spending, sure, but we also need to raise 
revenue. We need to come to a balance. This is an imbalanced amendment. 
It is an irresponsible one, and our country and our people deserve 
better.
  Mr. DICKS. In closing, let me point out that the amendment to impose 
an across-the-board cut would allow OMB to make the individual funding 
decisions. We have spent 4 days and nights thoughtfully considering 
programs and levels. This amendment is not thoughtful and should be 
defeated.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the 
gentlewoman from Tennessee (Mrs. Blackburn).
  The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the noes 
appeared to have it.
  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Madam Chair, 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 Tennessee 
will be postponed.


             Amendment No. 199 Offered by Mr. Poe of Texas

  Mr. POE of Texas. Madam Chairwoman, I have an amendment at the desk.
  The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the 
     following:
       Sec.__. None of the funds made available by this Act may be 
     used by the Department of Justice, or any other Agency, to 
     litigate the continuation of the case United States of 
     America v. The State of Arizona and Janice K. Brewer 
     regarding Arizona law S.B. 1070.

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to the order of the House of February 17, 
2011, the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Poe) and a Member opposed each will 
control 5 minutes.
  Mr. FATTAH. I reserve a point of order on the gentleman's amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR. A point of order is reserved.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Texas.
  Mr. POE of Texas. Madam Chairwoman, I understand a point of order is 
reserved by the other side.
  This amendment to the CR is very simple. The State of Arizona has 
implemented laws in its State to protect the dignity and sovereignty of 
the State. The United States Federal Government, in all of its awesome 
power, has jumped in and sued the State of Arizona at taxpayers' 
expense, preventing them from enforcing the rule of law in their own 
State.
  The Federal Government doesn't enforce the rule of law on the 
borders. Just recently, the GAO has reported that only 44 percent of 
the border is secure. That means somebody else controls the other 56 
percent of the southern border, and it is not the United States of 
America. Arizona is trying to protect its people. The Federal 
Government won't protect the border, but yet it sues the State of 
Arizona.
  This legislation will prohibit the Federal Government from using its 
resources and any money to implement the lawsuit against the United 
States of America v. The State of Arizona and Janice Brewer, the 
Governor thereof.
  It's a very simple amendment.
  I yield such time as he may consume to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. 
Carter).
  Mr. CARTER. I thank my friend for yielding.
  This law, and I understand that a point of order has been raised, but 
this is serious business we're talking about here. The sovereign State 
of Arizona is being overrun by dangerous people, that being murderers, 
up and down that border.
  I've been to that Arizona border. I've seen the fence being built in 
Arizona, and I've seen the fence that it replaced, which wouldn't even 
hold in a pair of goats. And yet we have a flood flowing across this 
border.
  And so what does the Governor of that State do? Steps forward and 
says that the Federal Government is not meeting its obligation. We are 
going to protect our citizens.
  Now, one of the things that I have been very concerned about--I will 
yield to my friend in a moment.
  One the things I have been very concerned about, as I've watched the 
judiciary and the legal system develop, is we've learned how to use our 
court system as a battering ram against our opponents, both our 
opponents in business and now our opponents in politics and in other 
places, just to batter them into position. The United States Government 
should not be battering the State of Arizona into a position that the 
State believes is contrary to the will of their people.
  I now yield to my friend from Arizona.
  Mr. PASTOR of Arizona. I want to thank my friend, Congressman Carter, 
for yielding.
  You see, the problem I have is that 2 hours ago, 3 hours ago, there 
was great debate about the States who took on the Federal Government 
over a question of the constitutionality of ObamaCare; and there was a 
decision that was rendered, and that's going to go to appeal, and 
everybody is happy because they agree with the decision.
  In Arizona, Arizona decided to pass SB 1070. It went to Federal 
court. Judge Bolton decided that some sections were constitutional, 
some were unconstitutional, and we are now going through the process of 
the Ninth Circuit and probably to the Supreme Court.
  So what's good for the goose is good for the gander. So I would tell 
you,

[[Page 2521]]

why don't you let the process occur, and that way we'll know whether or 
not Arizona has the power to deal with immigration and whether or not 
the States can deal with the constitutional issue of ObamaCare.
  Mr. POE of Texas. This issue is an issue of public safety, which is 
the first obligation of the Federal Government, to protect the people, 
to protect the homeland. And that is why it's important the Federal 
Government get out of the way of the State of Arizona trying to protect 
the good citizens there in Arizona from the drug cartels that are 
coming into their State.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIR. Does the gentleman continue to reserve his point of 
order?
  Mr. FATTAH. I continue to reserve.

                              {time}  1330

  Mr. GRIJALVA. Madam Chair, I rise in opposition to the amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Arizona is recognized for 5 
minutes.
  Mr. GRIJALVA. My strong opposition to this amendment is because it 
would bar the Department of Justice or any other Federal agency from 
challenging the constitutionality of this law in Arizona or any other 
law.
  The precedent being set by the Poe amendment, if it were to be 
adopted, would establish a dangerous new standard. It opens the door to 
congressional restraints on active pending Department of Justice 
litigation in a potentially endless variety of cases through backdoor 
de-funding moves.
  The precedent is being set here, and I appreciate the gentleman's 
point about Arizona working its will; but there are also people that 
believe in the Constitution, as we all do, who would want to know that 
the law in Arizona passes constitutional muster. This is what this 
lawsuit is about. This is why we have separation of powers. This is why 
we have a Constitution, to protect the interests of all people.
  SB 1070, you can support it; I can oppose it. The point being that 
there is a third part of our government that will decide whether or not 
this law is constitutional. I believe all of us would like to uphold 
constitutional laws.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  Ms. JACKSON LEE of Texas. Madam Chair, I rise in opposition to the 
Amendment, Amendment No. 199, to H.R. 1 ``Full-Year Continuing 
Appropriations Act, 2011'', offered by Mr. Poe of Texas and provides 
that none of the funds made available by this Act may be used by the 
Department of Justice, or any other Agency to litigate the continuation 
of the case United States of America v. The State of Arizona and Janice 
K. Brewer regarding Arizona law S.B. 1070.
  As a Senior Member of the Judiciary and Homeland Security Committees, 
I have vast experience in dealing with the issues of immigration and 
border security. And as a member of these committees, I can 
unequivocally say that this amendment and talk of supporting state 
immigration laws is absolutely inappropriate. It is a clear violation 
of Article 1 of the U.S. Constitution and the long established tenets 
of federalism, which grant the United States government the exclusive, 
preemptive power to establish laws on Immigration and Naturalization.
  It is necessary to oppose this amendment offered on the floor today. 
The Department of Justice has a federal mandate to pursue litigation in 
matters that constitute violations of federal law. This authority 
includes actions against states such as Arizona. The Arizona 
immigration statute appears to violate federal law and we must not 
strip the Department of Justice of the funding it needs to carry out 
its mission.
  The laws of the United States do not allow state-by-state legislation 
of immigration policy. If we allow states to enact immigration statutes 
and regulate and enforce immigration policy, we would be granting 
permission for the separate states of our country to set up a severely 
disconnected patchwork of immigration laws and policies that will be 
extremely difficult to enforce, invite discrimination and make our 
country dangerously unstable and unsafe.
  Our forefathers had the wisdom and insight to realize the importance 
of handling certain issues exclusively on a national level and saw fit 
to enshrine them in the Constitution. In this instance, we must not 
depart from the long established doctrine of exclusive federal control 
of immigration and naturalization. If we tread on the dangerous path of 
deconstruction of appropriate federal exclusivity in the area of 
immigration law, we will certainly force the federal courts to take 
corrective action and restore the exclusive role of the federal 
government in this area. Moreover, it would take a constitutional 
amendment and not the mere passage of federal or state statutes to 
overturn this long established legal principle.
  The Department of Justice must be provided with the necessary funds 
to continue litigation of its case against the state of Arizona. To do 
otherwise would erode the constitutional protections of our Civil 
Rights and Civil Liberties. Therefore I urge my colleagues to join me 
in opposition to this amendment. Thank you Madam Chair.


                             Point of Order

  Mr. FATTAH. Madam Chair, I insist on my point of order.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman will state his point of order.
  Mr. FATTAH. I make a point of order against the amendment because it 
proposes to change existing law and constitutes legislation in an 
appropriation bill and, therefore, violates clause 2 of rule XXI.
  The rule states in pertinent part: An amendment to a general 
appropriation bill shall not be in order if changing existing law.
  The Acting CHAIR. Does any Member wish to be heard on the point of 
order?
  Mr. POE of Texas. Madam Chair, I wish to speak on the point of order.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Texas is recognized.
  Mr. POE of Texas. Madam Chair, the law does not legislate. In fact, 
it prohibits legislation. All it does is tell the Department of Justice 
they can't spend any money on this lawsuit.
  I would accept the ruling of the Chair.
  The Acting CHAIR. Does any other Member wish to be heard on the point 
of order?
  If not, the Chair is prepared to rule.
  The Chair finds that this amendment requires new determinations of 
Federal officials. Specifically, the amendment would require 
discernment of what actions amount to continuation of litigation. By 
limiting funds for the ``continuation'' of a case, the amendment would 
occasion more than merely incidental decisions as to what tends to 
continue it.
  The amendment therefore constitutes legislation in violation of 
clause 2 of rule XXI. The point of order is sustained and the amendment 
is not in order.


                    Announcement By the Acting Chair

will now resume on those amendments printed in the Congressional Record

                          Legislative Program

  Mr. CANTOR. Madam Chairman, I will be brief.
  First of all, I want to thank Chairman Rogers and Ranking Member 
Dicks and their incredible staff for the leadership and amazing 
endurance that they have displayed through this process.
  Madam Chairman, they, along with the staff of the Parliamentarian's 
Office, the Clerk's office, the Congressional Budget Office, the 
Sergeant at Arms Office, many of the leadership offices, Members' 
offices, and of course the Capitol Police, have been working around the 
clock, literally, in order for us to facilitate this debate. So I thank 
all of the staff.
  Madam Chairman, we've had an extraordinary debate, and I want to 
thank the Members for their patience, their enthusiasm, and their 
participation in this remarkable development of events in this debate.
  I would say to Members that all of us want to finish and complete 
this bill today.
  Madam Chairman, I would say, as Members know, we are operating under 
a unanimous consent agreement; and under that agreement, we still have 
18 hours of debate and 103 amendments to go. Now, while none of us want 
to restrict anyone's ability to speak their piece and voice their 
opinions, certainly a lot has been said throughout the last 80-some 
hours of discussion on this bill, so I would ask Members to be mindful 
of the prudence of being concise and expeditious in their remarks. If 
we proceed in that vein, Madam Chairman, perhaps we could finish at a 
reasonable hour this evening.
  Mr. LEWIS of California. Will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. CANTOR. I yield to the gentleman from California.
  Mr. LEWIS of California. Mr. Leader, I understand your recognizing 
Mr. Rogers and Mr. Dicks and others and our staffs for their fabulous 
work; but I think it would be a shame if we didn't recognize a specific 
person who has essentially been Mr. Rogers' right hand during all of 
this discussion. He is leaving the House at the end of the month to go 
to the private sector. He is a fabulous, fabulous guy, who is respected 
on both sides of the aisle.
  Let's give Jeff Shockey a hand.


                Amendment No. 232 Offered by Mr. Nadler

  The Acting CHAIR (Mrs. Capito). Without objection, 2-minute voting 
will continue.
  There was no objection.
  The Acting CHAIR. The unfinished business is the demand for a 
recorded vote on the amendment offered by the gentleman from New York 
(Mr. Nadler) on which further proceedings were postponed and on which 
the noes prevailed by voice vote.
  The Clerk will redesignate the amendment.

                    Announcement by the Acting Chair

  The Acting CHAIR (during the vote). There is 1 minute remaining in 
the vote.

                              {time}  1446

  Mr. GINGREY of Georgia changed his vote from ``aye'' to ``no.''
  So the amendment was rejected.
  The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
  Stated against:
  Mr. GERLACH. Madam Chair, on rollcall No. 103, I inadvertently voted 
``yea.'' I intended to vote ``nay.''


                    Recognizing Congresswoman Harman

  Mr. DICKS. I move to strike the requisite number of words.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Washington is recognized for 5 
minutes.
  Mr. DICKS. Today may well be the last day of a very distinguished 
career of Congresswoman Jane Harman from California. And I want to 
recognize Jane in the well, and you can say a few words, and then we 
will have some other people making brief comments.
  Jane.
  Ms. HARMAN. Thank you, Norm Dicks, my longest-standing, certainly not 
my oldest, friend in the House, and thank you, colleagues.
  My congressional career will close on February 28 so that the 
constitutionally required special election to replace me can coincide 
with a statewide referendum Governor Brown intends to hold in 
California later this year. This timing will save taxpayer money, a 
very good thing, ensure a higher turnout, and most quickly fill the 
vacancy created by my resignation.
  The messages that have flooded my offices since I have announced my 
departure have touched me deeply. The extraordinary honor of a 
congratulatory statement by the President was completely unexpected and 
absolutely thrilling. But the message I may treasure most came from one 
of my four children. It said simply, ``Brave Mama.''
  For 17 years, I have worked my heart out for the people of 
California's 36th Congressional District. I cast votes with which some 
strongly disagreed, but I have always tried my best to listen and lead.
  The opportunity awaiting me at the Woodrow Wilson International 
Center for Scholars is enormous, following in the footsteps of our 
former Member, Lee Hamilton. It is truly a center of excellence and a 
place where I believe I can add real value to bipartisan scholarship 
and policymaking. But nothing--and I mean nothing--will ever replace 
the two-decade long journey I have just completed as I sought and won a 
seat in Congress, my first and only elected office.
  I have worked closely with many of you in committees and caucuses, 
like the Blue Dogs and the New Democrats, and on legislation. With some 
here, I have visited garden spots, like North Korea, Libya, Syria, 
Afghanistan, Pakistan and Yemen, to assess the threats we face. And 
those threats, as you all know, are extremely serious. Such foreign 
travel is, I believe, a wonderful way to build personal bipartisan 
friendships, something dearly needed here.
  As a lifelong, passionate, ``bipartisan in my bones'' Democrat, I 
have been criticized by both sides. But the center is where, in my 
view, most Americans are and where, in many cases, the best policy 
answers are. I will bring that perspective with me to my new post at 
the Wilson Center.
  Let me make two final points.
  First, over the years, I have worked hard to hire and train the best 
staff on the planet.

                              {time}  1450

  We call ourselves Team Harman. And at annual reunions, I marvel at 
how they and their families have grown. I truly love them and know how 
their extraordinary efforts are appreciated by my constituents and by 
other offices.
  And second, I always say that I represent the smartest constituents 
on earth. This is not a joke. They have helped me enormously to do my 
job well. Sidney, my young Sidney and I, and our ever-growing family 
thank them for the milestones and the memories. I may be changing my 
day job, but not my residence or my heart.
  So as I conclude my final statement on the floor of this House, I 
depart with great affection and gratitude to wonderful colleagues, to 
very longstanding friends, to a leadership with whom I have worked 
closely, to my sisters from California and throughout the United 
States, on both sides of the aisle, all of you have become valued, 
valued, valued, very valued friends. And I thank you, again, for the 
honor of serving with you.
  Mr. DICKS. I yield to the Democratic leader.
  Ms. PELOSI. To our valued, valued, valued friend, Jane Harman, to a 
proud Californian, to a great leader in our country, I know I speak for 
everyone in this Congress on this occasion when I say we have been 
proud to call you colleague and, again, for many of us, to value you as 
a friend.
  Jane's contribution to our country is one as a patriot. Not only for 
her great service in the Congress of the United States, but she and her 
family, her young Sidney, have been a source of strength to our 
country, whether it comes to security, our national security, the arts, 
or the education of the next generation.
  We all know that our first responsibility is to keep the American 
people safe. No one has done more in that regard than Jane Harman, and 
also in conveying the values of our great Nation throughout the world. 
The Woodrow Wilson Center is fortunate indeed to have her leadership. 
It will be a great combination.
  And so I say, Jane, we all choke up when we hear you say it's your 
last statement on the floor. We have all benefited from your wisdom. We 
congratulate you and send you off with great love, brave mama.
  Mr. DICKS. I now yield to the Democratic Whip, the gentleman from 
Maryland.
  Mr. HOYER. I thank the gentleman from Washington State for yielding, 
and I thank the leader for her remarks.
  Jane Harman and I have known each other for almost half a century. We 
in fact grew up together in many ways, became involved in public 
service, and I have seen her grow into one of the great leaders in this 
country on issues of national security.
  National security is one of the most bipartisan issues with which we 
deal. Everyone knows that we swear an oath to defend the Constitution 
and laws of this Nation, and that we have a responsibility to ensure 
the safety of our country and the safety of our people. Few among us 
have taken more to heart that responsibility than Jane Harman of 
California.
  Jane, of course, as all of you know, served on the Intelligence 
Committee. She served on the Intelligence Committee as ranking member 
for a long period of time. And if you ask the people in the 
intelligence community or in the defense community--and of course she 
served on the staff of the Department of Defense as well in a number of 
administrations--they will tell you that Jane Harman is as 
knowledgeable, as incisive, as thoughtful, as analytical as anybody 
with whom they have dealt in the Congress of the United States. We will 
be a lesser Congress for her leaving us and have less of an expertise, 
although many experts we still have.
  Jane has been a voice to the American people on the focus that we 
have needed to keep our country safe and to confront those terrorists 
who would put us at risk.
  Jane, we owe you a debt of gratitude, your constituents owe you a 
debt of gratitude, and your country owes you a debt of gratitude.
  The sadness of your leaving is leavened somewhat by the fact that you 
will continue to be involved and your expertise will continue to be 
available in your new position as the leader of the Woodrow Wilson 
Center, a distinguished center of thought and focus on issues of 
international security and policy.
  We thank you for your service. We wish you the very best. And we are 
so glad to know that you are just a few

[[Page 2533]]

blocks down the road so that we will be able to call upon you to give 
your very thoughtful insights, analysis, and advice to the issues that 
confront this Nation and all of us, Democrats and Republicans, liberals 
and conservatives, which, as you rightly point out, is not an issue of 
ideology but of practical safety for our citizens and Nation.
  Thank you, dear friend. Thank you, dear colleague. Thank you, dear 
American leader.
  Mr. DICKS. I yield to the gentleman from California, our former 
chairman of the Appropriations Committee and Defense Subcommittee, Mr. 
Lewis, our good friend.
  Mr. LEWIS of California. I thank the gentleman.
  As Arlene and I were sharing thoughts about you, dear Jane, she 
expressed some consternation that she had not been able to find a young 
Sid. But, nonetheless, she suggested she was going to put up with me 
anyway.
  Jane, we have admired your work for all of my life in public affairs. 
Since I have been in the Congress you have become a wonderful friend as 
well as a policy partner. I can't tell you how much I have enjoyed our 
years together on the Intelligence Committee.
  Our work on behalf of our national security together hand in hand has 
been very important to Arlene and myself. You are a wonderful person, a 
wonderful personality, and we love you and wish you well as you go 
forward, Jane.
  Mr. DICKS. I have known Jane for 42 years. She was a staff assistant 
to Senator Tunney when I was a staff assistant to Senator Magnuson. We 
have worked together as colleagues ever since. We love Sidney. We are 
so excited that there still is a Woodrow Wilson Center for you to go 
to. We appreciate your great service to our country and thank you for 
everything that you have done.
  Mr. DREIER. Will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. DICKS. I yield to my friend from California.
  Mr. DREIER. I thank my friend for yielding. I know we have lots of 
work to do here and we have gone through an extraordinary process over 
the last few days, but the moment I heard something was being said 
about my friend Jane Harman, I wanted to rush downstairs to say that 
when I think of Jane Harman, I think of the quintessential individual 
committed to bipartisanship.
  She has always worked to reach across the aisle, whether it's dealing 
with national security and foreign policy issues or domestic issues or, 
for us, issues as we share the representation of Los Angeles area.

                              {time}  1500

  And I want to say that the Woodrow Wilson Center is going to be--we 
all respected Lee Hamilton--but an even greater place now with Jane 
Harman there.
  Mr. DICKS. Jane, we wish you well at the Woodrow Wilson Center. Lee 
Hamilton did a fantastic job. We know you will too.


          Amendment No. 336 Offered by Mr. Bishop of New York

  Mr. BISHOP of New York. Madam 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:

       At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the 
     following:
       Sec. __. Not later than 90 after the date of enactment of 
     this Act, the Director of the Congressional Budget Office and 
     the Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics shall, 
     jointly--
       (1) study the effect that this Act will have on job levels; 
     and
       (2) report the findings of the study in the Employment 
     Situation Report of the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to the order of the House of February 17, 
2011, the gentleman from New York (Mr. Bishop) and a Member opposed 
each will control 5 minutes.
  Mr. ADERHOLT. Madam Chairman, I reserve a point of order on the 
gentleman's amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR. The point of order is reserved.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from New York.
  Mr. BISHOP of New York. Thank you, Madam Chairman.
  I yield myself 4\1/2\ minutes.
  My amendment is very simple and very straightforward. It would simply 
append to the end of the bill a requirement that not later than 90 days 
after the enactment of H.R. 1, the Director of the Congressional Budget 
Office and the Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics shall 
jointly conduct a study that would illustrate the effect that this act 
will have on job levels and, second, that these effects will be 
reported on a monthly basis to the American people on the first Friday 
of each month.
  We have competing visions of what the effect of H.R. 1 will be. We 
have the Economic Policy Institute, which has estimated that the 
implications of H.R. 1 will be a job loss of over 800,000. We have the 
Center for American Progress saying that the result of passing H.R. 1 
will be a job loss of 650,000 jobs directly and 325,000 indirect jobs 
lost.
  And then we have Speaker Boehner. Speaker Boehner says, and I'm 
quoting him exactly, he says that if we reduce spending, we'll create a 
better environment for job creation in America.
  And so very simply put, what my amendment does is it finds out who's 
right. Is the Economic Policy Institute right? Is the Center for 
American Progress right? Or is Speaker Boehner and others who believe 
that this will in fact create jobs?
  And let me say why I am so focused on this.
  H.R. 1 cuts funding for the Office of Science by 20 percent, $1.1 
billion; and it cuts funding by 40 percent for the energy efficiency 
and renewable energy program. These are the two programs that support a 
Department of Energy lab in my district. That is the second largest 
employer in my district.
  And so I asked the administrators of the lab to tell me what the 
implications would be. So this is one set of cuts in one district on 
one facility. And what the implications will be would be a layoff of a 
third of the workforce and the shutdown of two very important 
analytical pieces of equipment that attract 3,300 scientists from all 
over the world.
  So we would lay off a third of my constituents, and we would reduce 
the number of scientists who use this facility by 3,300. So that's 
3,300 people not staying in our hotels, not renting our cars, not 
eating in our restaurants, not buying their coffee in our delis.
  That's just one district, one facility, one decision.
  Let us find out whether or not this bill, H.R. 1, will in fact be the 
engine of job creation that the majority has presented it to be, or 
will it destroy jobs as we believe it will and as the Center for 
Academic Progress believes that it will.
  With that, I yield the balance of my time to the gentlelady from 
Connecticut (Ms. DeLauro).
  Ms. DeLAURO. I thank the gentleman and rise to support his amendment.
  We should have a quantifiable way of finding out the impact of this 
continuing resolution on job creation. What else could be more 
important than that?
  There was an examination of the jobs that came out of the economic 
recovery program. If this continuing resolution would be enacted into 
law, will the unemployment rate decrease? Will wages go up for middle 
class families? Will this continuing resolution help to turn the 
economy around?
  I would think that the majority would welcome the opportunity to 
verify their claim that the continuing resolution would create jobs. 
Let's prove us wrong. We believe that it will destroy jobs. Prove us 
wrong--unless you feel that if jobs are lost, so be it.
  So why not have the Bureau of Labor Statistics work on these critical 
issues? And I ask my colleagues on the other side of the aisle, what 
are you afraid of?


                             Point of Order

  Mr. ADERHOLT. Madam Chairman, I make a point of order against the 
amendment because it proposes to change existing law and constitutes 
legislation in an appropriation bill and

[[Page 2534]]

therefore violates clause 2 of rule XXI. The rule states in pertinent 
part: ``An amendment to a general appropriation shall not be in order 
if changing existing law.'' The amendment imposes additional duties.
  I ask for a ruling of the Chair.
  The Acting CHAIR. Does any Member wish to be heard on the point of 
order?
  Mr. BISHOP of New York. Madam Chairman, I am prepared to accept your 
ruling on the point of order, but I would like to make this comment.
  And the comment is, Why would you not want to have the information 
that this amendment would elicit? It's very important information. We 
all know that our actions have consequences. We all know that the 
Republican leadership promised us the most transparent Congress in 
history.
  The Acting CHAIR. The Chair is prepared to rule. The gentleman is not 
addressing the point of order.
  The Chair finds that this amendment imposes new duties. The amendment 
therefore constitutes legislation in violation of clause 2 of rule XXI.
  The point of order is sustained, and the amendment is not in order.
  Mr. ROGERS of Kentucky. Madam Chair, I move that the Committee do now 
rise.
  The motion was agreed to.
  Accordingly, the Committee rose; and the Speaker pro tempore (Mr. 
Westmoreland) having assumed the chair, Mrs. Capito, Acting Chair of 
the Committee of the Whole House on the state of the Union, reported 
that that Committee, having had under consideration the bill (H.R. 1) 
making appropriations for the Department of Defense and the other 
departments and agencies of the Government for the fiscal year ending 
September 30, 2011, and for other purposes, had come to no resolution 
thereon.
