                      INTEREST RATE REDUCTION ACT

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 1(c) of rule XIX, further 
consideration of the bill (H.R. 4628) to extend student loan interest 
rates for undergraduate Federal Direct Stafford Loans, will now resume.
  The Clerk read the title of the bill.


                           Motion to Recommit

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

       Mrs. Capps moves to recommit the bill H.R. 4628 to the 
     Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on 
     Energy and Commerce with instructions to report the same back 
     to the House forthwith with the following amendment: Add at 
     the end of the bill the following new section:

     SEC. 5. PROHIBITION AGAINST CUTS IN HEALTH INSURANCE BENEFITS 
                   FOR WOMEN AND CHILDREN.

        Nothing in this Act shall endorse, promote, or result in a 
     reduction of, or increased costs for, benefits in health 
     insurance coverage offered by health insurance companies for 
     women and children, including benefits for commonly 
     prescribed contraception, mammograms, cervical cancer 
     screenings, childhood immunizations, and health screenings 
     for newborns.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the rule, the gentlewoman from 
California is recognized for 5 minutes in support of her motion.
  Mrs. CAPPS. Mr. Speaker, this is the final--it's the only--amendment 
to this bill. It will not kill the bill or send it back to committee. 
Instead, if the House adopts this amendment, it will immediately move 
to final passage.
  It appears that we now all agree that we cannot let student loan 
rates double come this July--that's good--but I wish we were also 
looking for a bipartisan solution to funding the continuation of low 
rates on student loans. Instead, the majority is engaging in another 
partisan attack on public health funding, funding that improves the 
lives of Americans and the productivity of our workforce.
  I strongly oppose this position and the proposed cuts to the 
prevention fund, funds that will make women and children healthier, and 
that's why I've offered this straightforward amendment. It would ensure 
that poor policy decisions made here in Congress, namely, to get rid of 
the only dedicated funding we have for public health and prevention, do 
not give insurance companies an excuse to cut benefits or to increase 
the costs of preventative services for women and children. These 
services include critical access to contraception, mammograms, cancer 
screenings, and immunizations.
  Whatever our strong disagreements are about the underlying bill, we 
surely can agree that no insurance company should use this as an excuse 
to hinder access to basic preventative services. The Public Health and 
Prevention Fund is a critical investment in both our Nation's health 
and our economic future, especially for women and children.

                              {time}  1210

  Its value cannot be understated. A healthy mother is better able to 
raise a child; a healthy child will be ready and able to learn in 
school; and a healthy worker is more productive for American 
businesses.
  Moreover, this fund is critical to bringing down health care costs. 
It targets the most prevalent and preventable of chronic diseases like 
diabetes and heart disease. The fund has been used to ensure that our 
children have the vaccines they need to avoid painful and expensive 
childhood illnesses. It supports programs to prevent birth defects and 
autism surveillance. And the fund supports critical women's health 
screenings. There will be 600,000 screenings cut with the repeal of 
this fund.

[[Page 5919]]

  These are not frivolous programs. As mothers and grandmothers, we 
know the importance of preventing birth defects and having access to 
vaccines, knowing we're doing everything we possibly can to ensure that 
our children have a healthy start. As a nurse, I know the importance of 
preventing chronic diseases and catching cancer early. As a taxpayer, I 
surely know that we cannot afford to keep ignoring the cost benefit of 
prevention, programs that have a 5-to-1 return on our smart 
investments. States and counties all over the country are realizing the 
importance of prevention programs. That's why they've all embraced the 
prevention fund that this bill wipes out, and it wipes it out 
completely. In fact, 760 nonpartisan groups across the country have 
signed on in support of the prevention fund.
  I would like to insert this list of organizations for the public 
record, 760 nonpartisan groups. This investment in public health has 
been a long time coming. To abolish it now will send us back to square 
one, just when we can least afford to do that.
  Finally, Mr. Speaker, the women of this country are watching. They're 
watching us here today. They have watched as countless bills and budget 
proposals have moved through this House attacking and zeroing out 
programs that keep women healthy, their children fed, and families 
above water.
  Now is the time to stand up for women. Vote for this final amendment 
to this bill to show the women of America that we support them and we 
support their families and we support the services that they need to 
lead a happier and healthier life.
  I yield back the balance of my time.

  Mr. BOEHNER. Mr. Speaker, I claim time in opposition.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Ohio is recognized for 5 
minutes.
  Mr. BOEHNER. How in the world did we ever get here?
  Think about this. This is a fight being picked over an issue that 
everyone knew was going to be resolved. It's a fight being picked over 
an issue that there is no fight over. Five years ago, the Democrats put 
this clip in the law that would require student loan interest rates to 
more than double on July 1. I don't know why they did it, but they did 
it. Nobody wants to see student loan interest rates go up, especially 
when you have recent college graduates of which 50 percent are either 
unemployed or underemployed as a result of the President's economic 
policies.
  We've had Democrats and Republicans for months who have been talking 
about trying to fix this problem. While we don't yet have the long-term 
solution to this problem--the chairman is continuing to work on it--we 
believe that we shouldn't put students at risk and that we ought to 
make sure that their interest rates don't go up. So we developed this 
short-term policy to solve this problem for the next year while the 
committee has time to look at a long-term solution to this problem.
  But why do people insist that we have to have a political fight on 
something where there is no fight? There is absolutely no fight. People 
want to politicize this because it's an election year. But my God, do 
we have to fight about everything? Now we're going to have to fight 
over women's health. Give me a break.
  This is the latest plank in the so-called ``war on women,'' entirely 
created by my colleagues across the aisle for political gain. Let's 
review the facts. The President in his budget called for reductions in 
spending in this slush fund that's given to the Secretary of HHS. The 
President called for a reduction in spending. You may have already 
forgotten that several months ago you all voted to cut $4 billion out 
of this slush fund while they passed the payroll tax credit bill. To 
accuse us of wanting to gut women's health is absolutely not true.
  Ladies and gentlemen, this is beneath us. This is beneath the dignity 
of this House and the dignity of the public trust that we enjoy from 
our constituents. They expect us to come here and to be honest with 
each other, to work out these issues. To pick this big political fight 
where there is no fight is just silly. Give me a break.
  Vote ``no'' on this motion to recommit. Vote ``yes'' on the final 
bill. Let's send it over to the Senate now.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the previous question is 
ordered on the motion to recommit.
  There was no objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion to recommit.
  The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that 
the noes appeared to have it.


                             Recorded Vote

  Mrs. CAPPS. Mr. Speaker, I demand a recorded vote.
  A recorded vote was ordered.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 8 and clause 9 of rule 
XX, this 15-minute vote on the motion to recommit will be followed by 
5-minute votes on passage of the bill, if ordered, and the motion to 
suspend the rules on H.R. 3834, if ordered.
  The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 178, 
noes 231, not voting 22, as follows:

                             [Roll No. 194]

                Announcement by the Speaker Pro Tempore

  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mrs. Roby) (during the vote). There is 1 
minute remaining.

                              {time}  1245

  So the bill was passed.
  The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
  Stated for:
  Mr. COSTA. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall No. 195, had I been present, I 
would have voted ``aye.''
  Stated against:
  Mr. FILNER. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall 195, I was away from the Capitol 
due to prior commitments to my constituents. Had I been present, I 
would have voted ``no.''


                          Personal Explanation

  Ms. SLAUGHTER. Mr. Speaker, I was unavoidably detained and missed 
rollcall vote Nos. 193, 194, and 195. Had I been present, I would have 
voted ``aye'' on rollcall vote Nos. 193 and 194. I would have voted 
``no'' on rollcall vote No. 195.
