             14th Annual First Tee Congressional Challenge

  Mr. CRENSHAW. Mr. Chairman, I would like to take this opportunity to 
update my colleagues on a competition that takes place each year 
between House Democrats and House Republicans. It is called The First 
Tee Congressional Challenge.
  It is a golf match that is patterned after the Ryder Cup golf matches 
that you watch on television from time to time. It is sponsored by Roll 
Call. The winner of the event each year is entitled to keep for a year 
what has been known as the coveted Roll Call Cup. I want to announce to 
the Members that, this year, the Republican team won the competition, 
so we will keep the cup. This is the fourth year in a row that the 
Republicans have won the coveted cup.
  Let me just say ``thank you'' to all of my teammates. I would like to 
congratulate my teammates for their fine work and fine play. I would 
like to congratulate the Democrats for their sportsmanship. We had a 
couple of rookies who played well. It is a spirited competition, Mr. 
Chairman. It is a chance for individuals to meet some folks across the 
aisle and to build friendships.
  It is made more meaningful by the fact that the money that is raised 
each year goes to an organization called The First Tee. It is a group 
that is active in all 50 of our States, and it has touched the lives of 
over 10,000 young people. It uses the game of golf to teach values such 
as hard work, honesty, and integrity. It is a wonderful organization. 
Over the years, we have raised over $2 million for The First Tee, so 
that makes it even more meaningful.
  Mr. Chairman, I yield to the gentleman from Kentucky (Mr. Yarmuth), 
my counterpart and the captain of the Democratic team.
  Mr. YARMUTH. I thank my friend, and I congratulate him and the 
Republican team on a well-earned victory.
  Mr. Chairman, as I have said many times in the last few years, 
elections have consequences. After we lost the majority, we also lost 
some of our advantage in terms of talented golfers. We need to do a 
better job of either electing good golfers or of recruiting some of the 
better ones we have.
  The Republicans have a terrific team that is made up of truly 
honorable and wonderful people; and I think we all, on both sides of 
the aisle, get a great deal of enjoyment from this competition. We have 
made friends; and as Mr. Crenshaw said, we have succeeded in raising an 
awful lot of money for a very, very good cause.
  I thank the Republicans for a great competition, and I thank my 
teammates for their efforts, but they need

[[Page 13051]]

to be practicing for the next year a little more. I also want to thank 
the sponsors who actually contributed to this event and made the 
fundraising possible.
  We won 6 years in a row, and the Republicans have now won 4 years in 
a row. It is interesting how the streaks come along with the majority, 
so we will give it another try next year.
  Once again, congratulations to the Republicans. Even more 
importantly, congratulations to The First Tee for the work that they 
do.


            Amendment No. 2 Offered by Mr. Smith of Missouri

                    Announcement by the Acting Chair

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

                              {time}  1759

  So the amendment was rejected.
  The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment in the nature of a 
substitute, as amended.
  The amendment was agreed to.
  The Acting CHAIR. Under the rule, the Committee rises.
  Accordingly, the Committee rose; and the Speaker pro tempore (Mr. 
Womack) having assumed the chair, Mr. Carter of Georgia, 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. 427) 
to amend chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, to provide that 
major rules of the executive branch shall have no force or effect 
unless a joint resolution of approval is enacted into law, and, 
pursuant to House Resolution 380, he reported the bill back to the 
House with an amendment 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 to the amendment 
reported from the Committee of the Whole?

[[Page 13056]]

  If not, the question is on the amendment in the nature of a 
substitute, as amended.
  The amendment was 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.


                           Motion to Recommit

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

       Mr. Nolan moves to recommit the bill H.R. 427 to the 
     Committee on the Judiciary, with instructions to report the 
     same back to the House forthwith, with the following 
     amendments:
       Add, at the end of the bill, the following:

     SEC. 6. PROTECTING GUARANTEED SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE.

       The exemption from treatment as major rules for certain 
     classes of such rules (known as ``special rules'', as such 
     term is defined under section 804(6) of title 5, United 
     States Code) is intended to protect rules that protect Social 
     Security and Medicare benefits for seniors.
       Page 18, line 10, insert after ``means any rule'' the 
     following: ``(other than a special rule)''.
       Page 19, line 2, insert before the period at the end the 
     following: ``, and includes any special rule''.
       Page 20, insert after line 8 the following:
       ``(6) The term `special rule' means any rule that would--
       ``(A) protect Social Security's earned benefits, and 
     prevent cuts, including those caused by an increase in the 
     retirement age; or
       ``(B) protect Medicare's guaranteed benefits, and prevent 
     cuts, including those caused by a voucher system that forces 
     beneficiaries to purchase health care in the private 
     sector.''.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Minnesota is recognized 
for 5 minutes.
  Mr. NOLAN. Mr. Speaker, Members of the House, my amendment would see 
to it that nothing in this legislation does any harm to Social Security 
or Medicare. Why? It is because, first of all, they are not 
entitlements; they are earned benefits that people started paying for 
the first day, the first hour that they ever went to work.
  Our seniors rely on their Social Security and Medicare. Nothing has 
done more to lift more people out of poverty and give them health and 
life expectancy than Social Security and Medicare.
  Mr. Speaker, the underlying legislation that we are looking at here 
proposes to provide relief, but in fact, it proposes to emasculate and 
do away with the regulatory process and, in the process, do great harm 
and great damage to the things, the many things that have made this 
country the great Nation that it is.
  I have got to tell you, as I look around this room here and the age 
of this Congress, make no mistake about it; many of you were there when 
I was there, when our rivers were running sewers, when our lakes were 
catching on fire, when our coal miners and boat workers were dying 
young in life from fiberglass lungs and coal dust in their lungs.
  I spent time in the sawmills; I owned one. You couldn't find anyone 
that could count to 5 on their hands because they were either missing 
fingers, hands, arms, or legs or had lost their lives for want of a 
little ventilation, for want of a safety switch or a guard of some 
sort.
  The simple truth is that these laws, these regulations turned all 
that around. That is right; they turned all that around. Guess what. 
They doubled our life expectancy--maybe one of the greatest 
accomplishments of all time. We went from our grandparents, where life 
expectancy was 47, to darn near 80--what an incredible accomplishment.
  Now, the question is: Do we want to protect that progress? I hope so. 
Do we? Do we want to pay it forward? Or do we want to turn it back? I 
should hope not.
  Do we really want to paralyze these laws and do away with the rules 
and regulations that gave us clean water that we can drink and clean 
air that we can breathe without getting sick? I should hope not. Is 
that really what we want to do?
  Do we want to do away with the healthy, safe working conditions that 
extended life for people who worked hard to build a life for themselves 
and their families? Is that what we really want to do? Do we want to do 
away with food safety that protected us from the drugs and the 
chemicals that ended our lives prematurely? Is that what we want to do? 
I should hope not. No. No.
  Do we want to do away with the Wall Street regulations, the 
billionaires who play so fast and loose with other people's money? 
Well, we sure as heck don't want to turn Social Security and Medicare 
over to them, do we? Imagine what they would do with Social Security 
and Medicare. It is devastating, and it is frightening.
  Mr. Speaker, my amendment protects both. That is the least we can do. 
My amendment protects Social Security; it protects Medicare, and that 
is the least that we can do for a generation that gave us so much.
  Last, but not least, had it not been for these regulations, had it 
not been for Social Security and Medicare, half of us wouldn't be 
here--that is right--because we increased the life expectancy from 47 
to 80, so show some gratitude. Show some being grateful. Let's protect 
Social Security and Medicare.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. GOODLATTE. Mr. Speaker, I claim the time in opposition to the 
motion to recommit.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Virginia is recognized 
for 5 minutes.
  Mr. GOODLATTE. Mr. Speaker, on the floor of this House in 2011, the 
President of the United States promised the American people to reduce 
barriers to growth and investment: ``When we find rules that put an 
unnecessary burden on businesses, we will fix them.''
  Mr. Speaker, those were just the President's words. His actions have 
been starkly different. Throughout the entire 6-plus years of the 
President's administration, a flood of new major regulations has been 
burying America's job creators and households at record levels.
  To make matters worse, when Congress declines to legislate the 
President's misguided policies for him, he takes his pen and his cell 
phone, and he increasingly resorts to unilateral regulatory actions to 
legislate by executive fiat.
  The REINS Act, in one fell swoop, puts a stop to that and ensures 
that Congress, the body which the Constitution assigns the power to 
legislate, will possess an additional check on the most significant 
legislative decisions imposed on the American people through 
regulation.
  The motion to recommit seeks only to distract from the urgent needs 
to reform our regulatory system and reduce unnecessary burdens on the 
public. I think Americans are tired of the other party telling them 
that their bureaucrats know better than their own elected officials.
  I urge my colleagues to support this bill, reject this motion to 
recommit, and show America that Congress can act for the good of 
American job creators and Americans who desperately want and need jobs.
  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. NOLAN. 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 167, 
noes 241, not voting 25, as follows:
