  Ms. SINEMA changed her vote from ``no'' to ``aye.''
  So the amendment was rejected.
  The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
  The Acting CHAIR. There being no further amendments, under the rule, 
the Committee rises.
  Accordingly, the Committee rose; and the Speaker pro tempore (Mr. 
Latham) having assumed the chair, Ms. Ros-Lehtinen, 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. 3590) to 
protect and enhance opportunities for recreational hunting, fishing, 
and shooting, and for other purposes, and, pursuant to House Resolution 
470, she reported the bill back to the House with sundry amendments 
adopted in the Committee of the Whole.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under the rule, the previous question is 
ordered.
  Is a separate vote demanded on any amendment reported from the 
Committee of the Whole? If not, the Chair will put them en gros.
  The amendments were agreed to.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. 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.

                              {time}  1430


                           Motion to Recommit

  Mr. SEAN PATRICK MALONEY of New York. Mr. Speaker, I have a motion to 
recommit at the desk.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is the gentleman opposed to the bill?
  Mr. SEAN PATRICK MALONEY of New York. In its current form, I am.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to 
recommit.
  The Clerk read as follows:

       Mr. Sean Patrick Maloney of New York moves to recommit the 
     bill H.R. 3590 to the Committee on Natural Resources with 
     instructions to report the same back to the House forthwith, 
     with the following amendment:
       Page 3, after line 24, insert the following:

     SEC. 103. PROTECTING WATER SUPPLY FOR PUBLIC RECREATION AND 
                   SAFE DRINKING.

       Section 4 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (15 U.S.C. 
     2603) is amended by adding at the end the following:
       ``(h) Protecting Water Supply for Public Recreation and 
     Safe Drinking.--Not later than one year after the enactment 
     of this subsection, any manufacturer or processor of a 
     chemical or mixture that has the potential to contaminate 
     water supplies used for public recreation or drinking water 
     provided by a public water system shall generate and provide 
     to regulatory agencies data sufficient to understand the 
     risks such chemical or mixture would present to human health 
     and the environment as appropriate, including studies of the 
     chemical or mixture's cancer-causing effects, reproductive 
     toxicity and neurotoxicity. Exposing the public or the 
     environment to such chemical or mixture without generating 
     such studies shall be considered a prohibited act under this 
     Act.''.
       At the end of the bill, add the following:

     SEC. 805. JOBS TO REBUILD AMERICA.

       Subject to appropriations, the text of H.R. 2428, as 
     introduced on June 19, 2013, (the ``SAFE Bridges Act''), is 
     hereby enacted into law.

  Mr. HASTINGS of Washington (during the reading). Mr. Speaker, I ask 
unanimous consent that the reading be dispensed with.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Washington?
  There was no objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes.
  Mr. SEAN PATRICK MALONEY of New York. Mr. Speaker, this is the final 
amendment to the bill. If adopted, it won't kill the bill. If adopted, 
the bill will proceed to final passage immediately, as amended.
  Mr. Speaker, I agree with many of those on the other side on much of 
the underlying bill. Let's open our public lands to recreational 
hunting, fishing, and shooting. Let's make it easier to maintain public 
shooting ranges. No argument from me. But we can and should make this 
bill better, and my amendment will do just that.
  Preserving our public lands and common spaces also means investing in 
the critical infrastructure that allows us to bring our families there 
safely. That is why the bipartisan SAFE Bridges Act should be in this 
bill to ensure that our Nation's highways and bridges are safe.
  But the biggest omission in this bill is the failure to protect our 
citizens from toxic spills that would threaten our water supplies.
  A few weeks ago, we all woke up to learn that 300,000 people in West 
Virginia couldn't drink their water. A mother trying to put her child 
in the bathtub couldn't turn on the faucet. A father mixing baby 
formula for an infant couldn't trust what came out of the tap.
  For more than a week, families couldn't do things that each of us do 
every day. Hundreds were hospitalized. Because businesses had to lock 
their doors, even people making the meager Federal minimum wage of 
$7.25 couldn't go to work. Businesses were shut down, and they couldn't 
provide for their families.
  Schools shut down. Anxious and worried residents by the thousands 
lined up every day for National Guard troops to supply them with safe 
water.
  This happened right here in America, and not in some foreign country. 
It happened for a reason. It happened because one greedy operator 
thought it made sense not to inspect and maintain a storage tank with 
thousands of gallons of a toxic chemical right next to the water 
supply.
  You can't tell me that the free market took care of that problem. 
Tell that to the hundreds of thousands of

[[Page 2544]]

West Virginians who can't drink their water.
  Mr. Speaker, my amendment ensures companies making chemicals with the 
potential to contaminate water supplies are simply required to report 
the hazards of these chemicals. It is pretty simple.
  In my neck of the woods, the New York City watershed delivers 
approximately 1.4 billion gallons of water to my district, supplying it 
to millions of people every day. If this spill on the Elk River had 
happened on the Hudson River, we would be talking about a different 
problem in the order of magnitude that would affect millions and 
millions of people.
  Have we lost so much faith in ourselves acting together that we can't 
protect the American people from this kind of toxic spill? If this 
House isn't doing this and if we aren't protecting a mom or dad trying 
to give baby formula to their child, what are we doing here?
  Again, I join many of you in supporting the underlying emphasis of 
this bill. Let's get government out of the way for our hunters, 
anglers, and sportsmen. A dad should be able to share that first 
marksmanship experience with his son or daughter, like my dad did with 
me and my brothers.
  To preserve these freedoms, government needs to get out of the way at 
times, but surely it must also protect us at times from those who would 
destroy these treasures for profit.
  It was Teddy Roosevelt, after all, who said:

       Here is your country. Cherish these natural wonders, 
     cherish the natural resources, cherish the history and 
     romance as a sacred heritage, for your children and your 
     children's children. Do not let selfish men or greedy 
     interests skin your country of its beauty, its riches or its 
     romance.

  If we really want to protect the national beauty of our country, it 
starts with protecting something as fundamental as our water.
  Mr. Speaker, if we don't do this, we are doing nothing, and if those 
on the other side will not use that gavel in this House to protect the 
American people, then some of us on this side would like to borrow it 
for a while--because we will.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. HASTINGS of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to the 
motion to recommit.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes.
  Mr. HASTINGS of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I probably said this before, 
but I will say it again:
  Here we go again.
  The underlying bill before us is a bipartisan bill, with bipartisan 
sponsors from the Sportsmen's Caucus, to allow access to our public 
lands for people to enjoy hunting and fishing. That is what the 
underlying bill is.
  Furthermore, during the debate on the bill and its amendments 
yesterday, we adopted some three or four Democrat amendments because 
they added to the bill. This is a bipartisan bill.
  So what happens in a motion to recommit? Here we go again.
  The essence of this motion to recommit would be to broadly expand the 
powers of the Environmental Protection Agency.
  I urge my colleagues to vote ``no'' on the MTR and ``yes'' on the 
underlying bill, and 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

  Mr. SEAN PATRICK MALONEY of New York. Mr. Speaker, I demand a 
recorded vote.
  A recorded vote was ordered.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XX, this 5-
minute vote on the motion to recommit will be followed by a 5-minute 
vote on passage of the bill, if ordered.
  The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 187, 
noes 231, not voting 13, as follows:

                             [Roll No. 40]

                          Personal Explanation

  Mr. HUFFMAN. Mr. Speaker, on February, 5 2014, I was absent for 
rollcall votes 40 and 41.
  Had I been present for rollcall vote 40 I would have voted ``yes.'' 
And had I been present for rollcall vote 41 I would have voted ``no.''
