               Amendment No. 55 Offered by Mrs. Blackburn

  The Acting CHAIR (Mr. Bergman). It is now in order to consider 
amendment No. 55 printed in House Report 115-297.
  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Mr. 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 division A (before the short title), insert 
     the following:
       Sec. ___.  Each amount made available by this Act (other 
     than an amount required to be made available by a provision 
     of law) is hereby reduced by 1 percent.

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 504, the gentlewoman 
from Tennessee (Mrs. Blackburn) and a Member opposed each will control 
5 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Tennessee.

                              {time}  2200

  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Mr. Chairman, I know that we have a lot of activity 
on the House floor tonight, which I think is a good thing. It shows 
that the people's House is here, that we are working, and that we are 
meeting the needs of the American people. One of those is making 
certain that we fund the activity of this government, and that we do it 
in a responsible way.
  I think that as I come to offer my amendment, that I offer every 
single year, on this piece of legislation, Mr. Chairman, it is very 
important to note that this Appropriations Committee has done a 
phenomenal job of reining in out-of-control spending.
  One of the lessons that should have been learned over the past couple 
of years is that it is very clear the American people understand that 
Washington does not have a revenue problem, it has a spending problem. 
As I said, Washington does not have a revenue problem, it has a 
spending problem.
  We know that the bureaucracy has an insatiable appetite for the 
taxpayers' money. We see it all of the time. It is why we are having a 
vote to raise the debt ceiling. It is why we are right at

[[Page 13520]]

$20 trillion in debt. It is because the spending is, indeed, out of 
control.
  The work that has been done by this committee to prepare these 
appropriations bills is so vitally important, and it is to be 
commended. I think we have to look at this Interior Appropriations bill 
and realize that last year it was a $32.28 billion bill. This year, 
they have worked that spending down to $31.4 billion, and that is, 
indeed, commendable. In this bill, they have cut the spending at the 
EPA a total of 27 percent, and that is, indeed, commendable.
  The amendment that I bring forward tonight is to reduce that budget 
authority by an additional 1 percent. And I do this in calling for a 
penny-on-a-dollar cut, to challenge the bureaucracy to match the great 
work that has been done by our colleagues, on both sides of the aisle, 
as they have worked through to reduce what we spend to cut out waste, 
to look for fraud, to find ways that the taxpayer dollar is being 
abused, and to end that abuse.
  And, indeed, we know that saving a penny on a dollar is something we 
can do. It is important to our children and grandchildren. Indeed, I 
think we have a moral responsibility to do that.
  And there are areas where we can do this. I will give you a couple of 
examples where there is more that we could be doing.
  One is in ceiling fan regulations through the EPA. Some of the 
regulations they have put on ceiling fans, which actually reduce energy 
consumption, are absolutely ridiculous. We know that they yield a 
benefit, especially for people that live in areas, like I live in, in 
Tennessee.
  So while we recognize the vital work of the Department of the 
Interior, we also realize there are areas where more could be done to 
curb the waste, and where we could challenge the rank and file 
employees in these bureaucracies.
  Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. CALVERT. Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to the amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from California is recognized for 5 
minutes.
  Mr. CALVERT. Mr. Chairman, I want to commend my colleague for her 
consistent work to protect taxpayer dollars, and I certainly support 
her in all of the endeavors that she has done over the years to do 
that. But this is not the type of approach that I can support. I 
certainly like the idea of challenging the agencies, and I believe that 
the agencies are going to meet that challenge to cut spending in a 
responsible way.
  This bill has made some very tough choices, within a subcommittee 
allocation, that adheres to the current law. The Budget Committee asked 
us to meet certain budget caps, and we have done so in this bill, while 
asking that we increase spending for our national security, which is in 
woeful shape.
  So we had to make some very difficult tradeoffs. This bill, in its 
current form, balances our needs, those tradeoffs carefully weighed for 
their respectful impacts. We prioritize funding for fire suppression, 
PILT, national parks--maybe the most popular agency in the United 
States Government--and meeting our legal and moral obligations in 
Indian Country.
  Unfortunately, the process that the gentlewoman proposes--an across-
the-board cut--would cut all those programs, including Indian health, 
national park programs, and other programs, which already are taking 
significant cuts.
  This amendment makes no distinction between where we need to be 
spending to invest in, say, energy independence, or to limit spending 
to meet our deficit controls.
  Mr. Chairman, I urge my colleagues to vote ``no'' on this amendment, 
but I certainly support the fact that we are trying to get our budgets 
in line.
  Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Mr. Chairman, I do appreciate the chairman's work, 
and the committee's good work.
  I do want to point out that across-the-board cuts work. We see them 
work in our State governments, and we see them work in our local 
communities. And certainly families see these work, where they go in 
and they just shave a little out of everything that they are spending.
  If you look at the discretionary spending components of our Federal 
budget and you say, Let's find a way to save one penny out of every 
dollar that has been appropriated, then you put yourself on the road to 
reducing what the Federal Government spends, what they take from the 
taxpayer and then spend.
  We are spending too much money on programs that we don't need, 
programs that have outlived their usefulness, and programs that future 
generations don't even realize that they are going to have to pay for.
  So, let's do the fiscally responsible thing. Let's challenge these 
agencies, let's cut one more penny out of the dollar, and do this for 
our children, for our grandchildren, and for the fiscal health of our 
Nation.
  Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. CALVERT. Mr. Chairman, I yield such time as she may consume to 
the gentlewoman from Minnesota (Ms. McCollum).
  Ms. McCOLLUM. Mr. Chairman, I strongly oppose this amendment.
  This amendment discriminately cuts programs in this bill without any 
thought to the merit of what is contained in this bill.
  For example, in Indian Health Service, it really means fewer patients 
being seen. It means fewer safety inspectors ensuring accidents don't 
occur. Deferred maintenance in our drinking water, sanitation, and 
infrastructure. We will lose investments in environmental 
infrastructure, and, with that, jobs will be lost.
  But the EPA, as has been pointed out quite a bit tonight for cuts and 
for shifting funding around within this bill, is $2.2 billion less than 
2010: 2,000 fewer employees. So employees are being pulled out of my 
region and your region and all over to respond down in Harvey, meaning 
work isn't being done. And I bet they are going to get the call to 
leave their families and go look at sewer systems that have broken 
apart, and water systems that don't have the ability for safe drinking 
water. This is an agency that was funded and cut again in this bill, 
and they have real jobs to do.
  So when you discriminately cut across, you are also cutting across 
those programs that we are relying right now for the EPA to do in 
Harvey.
  And then the Forest Service just notified us that they are out of 
money for fire suppression. So we are going to cut the Forest Service 
across 1 percent?
  There might be places where you and I could agree, Mr. Chairman, 
where we could be doing some cuts, and I could work with my colleagues 
on it. But across the board, this year, in this bill, is something I 
can't support.
  Mr. CALVERT. Mr. Chairman, I urge a ``no'' vote, and I yield back the 
balance of my time.
  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. Mr. Chairman, 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. 56 Offered by Mr. Palmer

  The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 56 
printed in House Report 115-297.
  Mr. PALMER. Mr. 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 division A (before the short title), insert 
     the following:
       Sec. __.  None of the funds made available by this Act may 
     be used by the Environmental Protection Agency to carry out 
     the powers granted under section 3063 of title 18, United 
     States Code.

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 504, the gentleman 
from Alabama (Mr. Palmer) and a Member opposed each will control 5 
minutes.

[[Page 13521]]

  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Alabama.
  Mr. PALMER. Mr. Chairman, the Environmental Protection Agency spends 
as much as $50 million a year to employ nearly 200 armed agents at an 
average cost of $216,000 per year, per agent. In total, over the period 
from fiscal year 2006 to 2015, the EPA spent an estimated $715 million 
for its criminal enforcement program. This money could have been better 
spent on such things as improvement of our water systems.
  These 200 special agents were equipped with guns and ammunition up to 
30-millimeter, camouflage and other deceptive equipment, night vision, 
unmanned aircraft, and other military-style equipment.
  A 2015 report by Open the Books, noted that EPA spent $24,700 on 
ammunition between 75-millimeter and 125-millimeter, and $23,000 on 
ammunition over 125-millimeter. It is difficult for me to imagine that 
the EPA has a legitimate use for ammunition of that size.
  The EPA is just one of more than 70 Federal agencies that employ 
armed personnel, many of which most Americans would never associate 
with law enforcement. These include the National Oceanic and 
Atmospheric Association, the Federal Reserve Board, and the National 
Institutes of Health, among others.
  I think we need to take a step back and reevaluate whether arming the 
bureaucracy is the best way to ensure that our laws are enforced. 
Federal agencies should be able to demonstrate their need for armed 
personnel and, absent such a demonstration, should rely on local or 
State law enforcement when there is a need for armed protection.
  My amendment would prohibit funding for EPA's armed agents and begin 
to address the troubling trend of militarization in our Federal 
agencies.
  Claim: While I appreciate my colleague's concerns about the 
militarization of federal agencies, this amendment reaches too far.
  Response: It is not my amendment, but the EPA that has reached too 
far. EPA is the poster child for government overreach, and they have 
clearly abused the police powers they've been granted.
  Claim: This amendment puts EPA employees at risk of bodily harm. They 
deserve to come home to their families at night.
  Response: I agree that every federal employee should be able to come 
home safe to their families and this amendment would not impact their 
ability to do so. EPA and any other federal agency that believes that 
their activities could result in a threat to their employees have the 
ability to coordinate armed protection with local or state or federal 
law enforcement.
  Claim: This amendment would give criminals a free pass to pollute our 
air and water and ignore the laws on the books.
  Response: My amendment would not hinder EPA's ability to enforce the 
laws on the books and no one wants to see our air and water polluted. 
However, we cannot ignore the facts that EPA's criminal enforcement 
division could be mistaken for a military operation at this point. I 
want to see our laws enforced, but I have serious doubts that it takes 
200 heavily armed EPA agents to accomplish that goal.
  Claim: We should have a debate over EPA's need for armed agents but 
this is not the correct venue for that debate. The debate should take 
place in the authorizing committees.
  Response: That same argument could be applied to every limitation 
amendment offered to an appropriations bill, but that doesn't stop 
limitations from being offered and adopted. That said, I am happy to 
continue this debate should a bill reauthorizing these activities come 
up.
  We recently increased funding for the Capitol Police by $29.2 million 
which could be more than covered by the reduction I am seeking to EPA 
Criminal Enforcement.
  Mr. Chairman, I urge my colleagues to support the amendment, and I 
reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. CALVERT. Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to the amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from California is recognized for 5 
minutes.

                              {time}  2215

  Mr. CALVERT. Mr. Chairman, I understand, and I have taken a lot of 
criticism over the last few years for cutting EPA's budget by 27 
percent over the last number of years. However, I believe this 
amendment is just going too far.
  We have a new administration. We have a new Administrator. I think 
there is a new day over at EPA. None of us want to see our rivers 
polluted, toxic waste either on the ground or in the air, and I think 
this administration will administer the law properly.
  We may not always agree on where it is appropriate to draw the line 
on environmental laws and regulations. Some think some standards are 
too stringent, some think they are not tough enough, and that is a fair 
policy debate to have. However, we know that no matter where the line 
is ultimately drawn, there are individuals out there who are willingly 
and knowingly trying to find ways around those laws. As such, EPA needs 
the ability to look into criminal activity, whether it is illegal 
dumping of waste, negligent dumping of toxics or oil, or the illegal 
importation of products from other countries by those who would choose 
to ignore United States law.
  So we can debate the law and what is appropriate, but we can't give 
criminals a free pass or ignore the laws that are on the books. Mr. 
Chair, I must oppose the amendment and urge my colleagues to do the 
same, and I encourage a ``no'' vote.
  Mr. Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. PALMER. Mr. Chairman, I appreciate the chairman's great work on 
the appropriations bill and have great respect for him, but I would 
like to respond to some of the comments.
  This is not a cut to the EPA's budget. This is a redirection of funds 
away from a militarized division of the EPA. There is no effort at all 
here to diminish the EPA's ability to carry out its core functions. If 
there is a problem where armed agents or armed personnel are involved, 
they need to rely on people who are trained to deal with such 
situations. Actually, I think this would allow the EPA to redirect its 
funds to make sure that our environment is protected.
  So with all due respect, I want to make sure that it is understood 
that this is not a cut to the EPA's budget. This is a redirection of 
resources and a demilitarization of a Federal agency that, frankly, I 
have seen in my own State of Alabama where they showed up at a city 
water system in full body armor, bulletproof vests, carrying AR15s--at 
a city water system. It was totally uncalled for.
  Mr. Chair, I urge my colleagues to support this, and I reserve the 
balance of my time.
  Mr. CALVERT. Mr. Chair, I understand the gentleman's concerns. I 
would suggest that he go down to the Administrator's office, our new 
Administrator, Mr. Pruitt, and meet with him. I don't think that there 
is any desire on his part to militarize the Environmental Protection 
Agency, and I think that he will see this new Administrator wanting to 
do the right thing.
  Mr. Chair, I oppose this amendment and urge my colleagues to oppose 
the amendment.
  Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. PALMER. Mr. Chair, again, I appreciate the response of the 
chairman, who, I again want to reiterate, has done a fine job in the 
appropriations process, and I appreciate his concerns about this.
  I intend to meet with Secretary Pruitt. I have known him for quite 
some time and have full confidence in his ability to lead the EPA in a 
much better direction than it has been over the last few years.
  He inherited this problem. This is not an effort by the EPA to 
militarize. They already are militarized. This example I gave you from 
the State of Alabama is just one example of other instances in the 
State of Alabama, other instances around the country.
  We depend on law enforcement to handle confrontational situations. I 
don't think anyone expects a Federal agency to have people who are 
trained to the degree that our law enforcement is to handle situations 
where someone might get injured or killed.
  So it is, I think, totally appropriate for us at this point to 
redirect this funding, to remove this funding for armed agents, who, by 
the way, as I

said early on, and if you want to see this report from Open the Books, 
we are purchasing 75-millimeter ammunition, 30-millimeter ammunition. 
It is hard to imagine what purpose they have for ammunition of that 
size.
  Mr. Chairman, I appreciate the opportunity to speak on this 
amendment, and I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes.''
  Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the 
gentleman from Alabama (Mr. Palmer).
  The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes 
appeared to have it.
  Mr. CALVERT. Mr. Chair, I demand a recorded vote.
  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further 
proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Alabama will 
be postponed.
  Mr. CALVERT. Mr. Chair, I move that the Committee do now rise.
  The motion was agreed to.
  Accordingly, the Committee rose; and the Speaker pro tempore (Mr. 
Lamborn) having assumed the chair, Mr. Bergman, 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. 3354) 
making appropriations for the Department of the Interior, environment, 
and related agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2018, and 
for other purposes, had come to no resolution thereon.
