MEMBERS WILL TAKE THEIR SEATS AND CEASE THEIR CONVERSATIONS. PLEASE VACATE THE WELL OF THE HOUSE. THE HOUSE WILL COME TO ORDER. FOR WHAT PURPOSE DOES THE GENTLEMAN FROM NEW YORK SEEK RECOGNITION? I HAVE A MOTION TO RECOMMIT AT THE DESK. IS THE GENTLEMAN OPPOSED TO THE BILL? I AM IN ITS CURRENT FORM. THE GENTLEMAN QUALIFIES. MOTION. THE CLERK WILL REPORT THE MR. OWENS OF NEW YORK MOVES TO RECOMMIT THE BILL H.R. 1363 TO THE COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS WITH INSTRUCTIONS TO REPORT THE SAME BACK TO THE HOUSE FORTHWITH WITH THE FOLLOWING AMENDMENT. I MOVE TO DISPENSE WITH THE READING. IS THERE OBJECTION IN -- OBJECTION? FOR WHAT PURPOSE DOES THE GENTLEMAN FROM KENTUCKY RISE? I WANTED TO RESERVE A POINT OF ORDER ON THE GENTLEMAN'S MOTION. POINT OF ORDER IS RESERVED. IS THERE OBJECTION TO DISPENSING OF THE PROCEEDING? -- READING? NO OBJECTION, SO ORDERED. PURSUANT TO THE RULE, THE GENTLEMAN FROM NEW YORK IS RECOGNIZED FOR FIVE MINUTES IN SUPPORT OF HIS MOTION. THANK YOU, MADAM SPEAKER. I RISE IN SUPPORT OF THIS MOTION BECAUSE THIS MOTION WILL ENSURE THAT THE MEMBERS OF THE ARMED SERVICES WILL BE PAID IN THE EVENT OF A GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN. THERE IS NO GROUP WHO DESERVES OUR SUPPORT MORE THAN THE MEMBERS OF THE ARMED SERVICES. AS A VETERAN MYSELF, I RECOGNIZE THE IMPLICATIONS OF FAILING TO PAY THOSE MEMBERS OF THE ARMED SERVICES WHO HAVE GIVEN THEIR TIME, THEIR ENERGY, THEIR BLOOD AND IN MANY CASES THEIR LIVES IN SUPPORT OF OUR FREEDOM. THE FREEDOM THAT ALLOWS US TO BE HERE TODAY AND TO HAVE THIS HEATED DEBATE OVER THE DIRECTION OF OUR COUNTRY. WHEN I LOOK AROUND AT WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF WE FAIL TO PASS THIS MOTION, WE KNOW THAT THE PRESIDENT HAS INDICATED HE WILL VETO THE CURRENT UNDERLYING LEGISLATION. WHICH MEANS IN EFFECT WE WILL BE UNABLE TO PAY OUR MILITARY MEN AND WOMEN. THE ECONOMIC CONSEQUENCES TO THE COMMUNITIES IN WHICH OUR MILITARY MEN AND WOMEN RESIDE IN MY CASE, FORT DRUM AS WELL AS MANY ACTIVE RESERVE UNITS IN MY DISTRICT, WOULD BE HORRIFIC. THEY WILL NOT BUY GASOLINE. THEY WILL NOT BUY GROCERIES. THEY WILL NOT BUY CLOTHES. THERE ARE TREMENDOUS ECONOMIC CONSEQUENCES TO THE ACTIONS THAT WE HAVE FAILED TO TAKE. I HAVE SUPPORTED THE CONTINUING RESOLUTIONS PREVIOUSLY WHICH BUDGET. HAVE SAVED $51 MILLION FROM THE I AM NOT A PERSON NOT IN SUPPORT OF CUTTING BUT WE MUST DO CUTTING AND THE DECREASE IN THE FEDERAL BUDGET IN A RESPONSIBLE WAY NOT ONE WHICH INJURES OUR MEN AND WOMEN, PARTICULARLY AS I SAID BEFORE, THOSE WHO RESIDE AT FORT DRUM AND IN AND AROUND THAT COMMUNITY. I THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT AS WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS DISCUSSION THAT WE KEEP FOREMOST IN OUR MINDS THE MEN AND WOMEN IN THE MILITARY. I THINK WE HAVE NOT ACTED IN LARGE MEASURE RESPONSIBLY IN THIS PROCESS. WE NEED TO MOVE TO A CONTINUING RESOLUTION WHICH IS ECONOMICALLY BASED, WHICH WILL ALLOW THE RECOVERY TO CONTINUE, WHICH WILL ALLOW JOB GROWTH TO MOVE FORWARD, AND NOT BE FOCUSED ON IDEOLOGY OR THE SLASHING AND BURNING OF PROGRAMS WHICH ARE HIGHLY INAPPROPRIATE. I RESERVE THE BALANCE OF MY TIME. THE GENTLEMAN CANNOT RESERVE HIS TIME. I YIELD BACK. THE BALANCE OF HIS TIME. GENTLEMAN YIELDS BACK THE FOR WHAT PURPOSE DOES THE GENTLEMAN FROM KENTUCKY SEEK RECOGNITION? MADAM SPEAKER, I WITHDRAW MY RESERVATION ON THE POINT OF ORDER. RESERVATION IS WITHDRAWN. MADAM SPEAKER, I RISE IN OPPOSITION -- THE GENTLEMAN IS RECOGNIZED. I RISE IN OPPOSITION. THIS PROCEDURAL MOTION IS NOTHING MORE THAN A DILATORY TACTIC WHICH COMES AT A TIME WHEN WE CAN LEAST AFFORD THOSE TYPES OF THINGS. NOW IS THE TIME TO ACT NOT PARTAKE IN POLITICAL GAMES. OUR DEBATE SHOULD BE NOT ABOUT PROCEDURE. IT SHOULD BE ABOUT DOING OUR JOB. IT SHOULD BE ABOUT FUNDING OUR TROOPS. ABOUT KEEPING OUR GOVERNMENT RUNNING. AND SAVING THE TAXPAYER MONEY. THE MEASURE BEFORE US PROVIDES THE ESSENTIAL FUNDS FOR OUR MEN AND WOMEN WHO ARE IN HARM'S WAY ON THREE BATTLEFIELDS AROUND THE WORLD. THOSE WHO SACRIFICE SO MUCH FOR US SHOULD NOT BE HELD HOSTAGE BY WASHINGTON'S INACTION. WHILE PROVIDING -- WHILE PROVIDING FOR OUR NATIONAL DEFENSE, THE MEASURE ALSO GIVES US ONE MORE WEEK FOR THE SENATE AND THE WHITE HOUSE TO COME TO RESOLUTION ON FUNDING THE ACTIVITIES OF THE GOVERNMENT AND IT CUTS $12 BILLION IN WASTEFUL SPENDING. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE EXPECT US TO STOP THE PARTISAN BICKERING AND GET OUR WORK DONE. THE TIME FOR IDLE TALK IS OVER. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. THIS MOTION IS PURELY A POLITICAL GESTURE AND SHOULD BE DEFEATED. I THINK ALL MEMBERS SHOULD KNOW, MADAM SPEAKER, ALL MEMBERS SHOULD KNOW THIS BILL IS NOT A POLITICAL TACTIC. THE REAL FACT IS THAT IF YOU VOTE AGAINST THIS BILL, YOU ARE VOTING AGAINST THE TROOPS WHO ARE ENGAGED IN THREE WARS. I YIELD BACK. THE HOUSE WILL BE IN ORDER. WITHOUT OBJECTION, THE PREVIOUS QUESTION IS ORDERED ON THE MOTION TO RECOMMIT. THE QUESTION IS ON THE MOTION. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. ALL THOSE OPPOSED, NO. THE NOES HAVE IT. THE MOTION IS NOT AGREED TO. ON THIS FINAL AMENDMENT I ASK FOR THE YEAS AND NAYS. THE GENTLEMAN REQUESTS THE YEAS AND NAYS. THOSE FAVORING A VOTE BY THE YEAS AND NAYS WILL RISE.

THE HOUSE WILL BE IN ORDER. THE HOUSE WILL BE IN ORDER. PLEASE TAKE YOUR CONVERSATIONS OFF THE FLOOR OF THE HOUSE. FOR WHAT PURPOSE DOES THE GENTLEMAN FROM CALIFORNIA SEEK RECOGNITION? MADAM SPEAKER, I HAVE A MOTION TO RECOMMIT AT THE DESK. IS THE GENTLEMAN OPPOSED TO THE BILL? I AM OPPOSED. THE GENTLEMAN QUALIFIES. THE CLERK WILL REPORT THE MOTION. MR. MCNERNEY OF CALIFORNIA MOVES TO RECOMMIT THE BILL H.R. 910 TO THE COMMITTEE ON ENERGY AND COMMERCE WITH INSTRUCTIONS TO REPORT THE SAME BACK TO THE HOUSE FORTHWITH WITH THE FOLLOWING AMENDMENT. AT THE END OF THE BILL ADD THE FOLLOWING, SECTION 5, PROTECTION OF HEALTH AFFORDABLE CHILDREN AND SENIORS. NOTHING IN THIS ACT SHALL LIMIT THE AUTHORITY OF THE ADMINISTRATOR OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY UNDER THE CLEAN AIR ACT ACCORDING TO U.S.C. 74401 PRIOR TO THE DATE OF ENACTMENT OF THIS ACT TO PROTECT THE HEALTH OF VULNERABLE CHILDREN AND SENIORS, INCLUDING CHILDREN WITH ASTHMA AND LUNG DISEASES FROM THE EFFECTS OF AIR POLLUTION BY LARGE SOURCES THAT EMIT 75,000 TONS OR MORE OF CARBON AIR POLLUTION PER YEAR. THE HOUSE WILL BE IN ORDER. THE GENTLEMAN FROM CALIFORNIA DESERVES TO BE HEARD. PLEASE TAKE YOUR CONVERSATIONS OFF THE FLOOR. PURSUANT TO THE RULE, THE GENTLEMAN FROM CALIFORNIA IS RECOGNIZED FOR FIVE MINUTES IN SUPPORT OF HIS MOTION. MR. SPEAKER -- THE HOUSE IS NOT IN ORDER. THE GENTLEMAN IS CORRECT. THE HOUSE WILL BE IN ORDER. MEMBERS AND STAFF WILL TAKE THEIR CONVERSATIONS OFF THE FLOOR. I RISE TO OFFER AN IMPORTANT MOTION TO RECOMMIT TO H.R. 910. MY MOTION IS A STRAIGHTFORWARD AMENDMENT TO GUARANTEE THAT AMERICA'S MOST VUSSNERBLE CHILDREN AND SENIORS, INCLUDING CHILDREN WITH ASTHMA AND LUNG DISEASE, CAN BE PROTECTED FROM THE NATION'S BIGGEST POLLUTERS. THE CLEAN AIR ACT BECAME LAW AT A TIME WHEN OUR CITIES WERE ENVELOPED IN SMOG AND SINCE THEN THE ACT HAS STOPPED THE MOST EGREGIOUS POLLUTERS AND IMPROVED PUBLIC HEALTH. THIS MOTION IS A SUBSTANTIAL IMPORTANT AMENDMENT AND IF PASSED THE MOTION ALLOWS THE VOTE TO IMMEDIATELY PROCEED ON THE FINAL PASSAGE OF H.R. 910. WE CAN REDUCE AIR POLLUTION IN A WAY THAT WILL CREATE JOBS, STRENGTHEN OUR ECONOMY, BOLSTER OUR NATIONAL DEFENSE, AND IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF OUR CHILDREN. I'M GRAVELY CONCERNED THAT H.R. 910 WILL THREATEN THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF OUR MOST VULNERABLE AMERICANS. THERE IS A CLEERN CONNECTION BETWEEN AIR POLLUTION AND RESPIRATORY DISEASE AND THE MOTION I'M OFFERING MAKES SURE THAT OUR CHILDREN CAN LEAD HEALTHY LIVES. ASTHMA IS AN ESPECIALLY SERIOUS THREAT TO AMERICA'S CHILDREN. THIS PROBLEM IS NATIONAL IN SCOPE BUT MY HOME STATE IS UNIQUELY AFFECTED. I'M HONORED TO REPRESENT A PART OF CALIFORNIA SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY, BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE AIR QUALITY IS A PERSISTENT PROBLEM IN OUR COMMUNITIES. IN FACT, AS MANY AS ONE IN FIVE CHILDREN IN THE VALLEY HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH ASTHMA. MY OWN SON AND DAUGHTER DEVELOPED THE CONDITION WHEN THEY MOVED TO AN AREA OF CALIFORNIA'S CENTRAL VALLEY WITH HOT TEMPERATURES AND POOR AIR QUALITY. I KNOW FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE HOW VITALLY IMPORTANT IT IS TO MAKE SURE OUR KIDS HAVE FRESH HEALTHY AIR. I'M CONFIDENT THAT EVERY MEMBER OF THIS BODY SHARES MY DESIRE TO REDUCE THE INCIDENTS OF ASTHMA AMONG AMERICA'S CHILDREN. KEEPING OUR CHILDREN HEALTHY IS NOT A PARTISAN ISSUE. FIGHTING FOR THE HEALTH, HAPPINESS, AND WELL-BEING OF OUR CHILDREN UNITES US AS CITIZENS, AS PARENTS, FRIENDS, AND AS NEIGHBORS. BUT THE STATISTICS ARE SOBERING. THE GENTLEMAN WILL SUSPEND. THE HOUSE IS NOT IN ORDER. THE GENTLEMAN FROM CALIFORNIA DESERVES TO BE HEARD. THE GENTLEMAN FROM CALIFORNIA IS RECOGNIZED. BUT THE STATISTICS ARE SOBERING. ACCORDING TO THE AMERICAN LUNG ASSOCIATION, ASTHMA AFFECTS MORE THAN SEVEN MILLION CHILDREN, MORE THAN FOUR MILLION OF THOSE CHILDREN SUFFER FROM AN ASTHMA ATTACK EACH YEAR. ASTHMA KILLS 5,000 PEOPLE EACH YEAR IN THE UNITED STATES AND CAUSES 14 MILLION MISSED SCHOOL DAYS ANNUALLY. AND TREATING ASTHMA COSTS OUR COUNTRY MORE THAN $20 BILLION A YEAR. IN FACT, EVERY DAY IN AMERICA 40,000 PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD SHALL HAVE ASTHMA, 11 PEOPLE DIE FROM ASTHMA. THESE ARE REAL CHILDREN. THESE ARE REAL PEOPLE. THAT'S WHY I'M OFFERING THIS SIMPLE STRAIGHTFORWARD AMENDMENT TO RECOMMIT TODAY. MY PROPOSAL IS A COMMONSENSE IMPROVEMENT THAT MAKES SURE THAT OUR COUNTRY PRESERVES THE ABILITY TO PROTECT THE AIR QUALITY FOR OUR CHILDREN AND SENIORS. THE TEXT OF THE MOTION IS CLEAR. AND EXPLICITLY SAYS THAT OUR GOAL IS TO PROTECT CHILDREN WITH ASTHMA AND LUNG DISEASE FROM THE EFFECTS OF AIR POLLUTION. I ALSO WANT TO MAKE ONE OTHER POINT CLEAR, JUST AS I KNOW THAT EVERY MEMBER OF THIS BODY CARES ABOUT THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF AMERICA'S CHILDREN, I ALSO KNOW THAT WE CARE ABOUT OUR COUNTRY'S ECONOMIC RECOVERY. MANY IN THIS CHAMBER FEEL PASSIONATELY WE SHOULD DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO MAKE SURE THAT SMALL BUSINESSES AND FAMILY FARMS CAN GROW AND PROSPER WITHOUT FACING UNNECESSARY REGULATORY BURDENS. I'M PROUD TO REPRESENT A DISTRICT WITH A RICH AGRICULTURAL HISTORY AND I WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW THAT THIS MOTION PROTECTS FAMILY FARMERS AND SMALL BUSINESSES. THIS MOTION IS EXPLICITLY LIMITED IN SCOPE TO LARGE FACILITIES THAT EMIT 70,000 TONS OR MORE OF CARBON ANNUALLY. IN CLOSING I ASK MY FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES IN THE MAJORITY TO REFLECT ON WHAT THIS AMENDMENT SAYS AND WHAT YOUR VOTE WILL MEAN. THE AMENDMENT SIMPLY SAYS, NOTHING IN THE ACT SHALL LIMIT THE AUTHORITY OF THE E.P.A. TO PROTECT THE HEALTH OF VULNERABLE CHILDREN AND SENIORS FROM THE EFFECTS OF AIR POLLUTION. THAT? WHAT COULD BE MORE SIMPLE THAN I CAN MY COLLEAGUES TO DO THE RIGHT THING FOR OUR CHILDREN AND SENIORS AND SUPPORT THIS MOTION TO RECOMMIT. THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER. I YIELD BACK. THE GENTLEMAN FROM CALIFORNIA YIELDS BACK. FOR WHAT PURPOSE DOES THE GENTLEMAN FROM MICHIGAN SEEK RECOGNITION? I WOULD ASK FOR THE FIVE MINUTES IN OPPOSITION TO THE MOTION TO RECOMMIT. THE GENTLEMAN IS RECOGNIZED FOR FIVE MINUTES. I WOULD REMIND MY COLLEAGUES THAT THIS IS A PROCEDURAL VOTE. H.R. 910 DOES NOT IMPACT ASTHMA. FRANKLY, OUR SIDE WOULD HAVE LIKED TO HAVE DEBATED THIS AMENDMENT. COMMITTEE. IT WAS NOT OFFERED TO THE RULES IT WAS OFFERED IN COMMITTEE WHERE IT WAS REJECTED ON A VOICE VOTE. IF YOU READ THE ENDANGERMENT FINDING, YOU'LL SEE THAT ASTHMA IS MENTIONED ONE TIME. AS TO ASTHMA, E.P.A.'S ENDANGERMENT FINDING REFERS ONLY ONCE TO THE TERM ASTHMA AND THEN ONLY IN THE CONTEXT OF WILDFIRES AND PARTICULATE MATTER WHICH IS ALREADY REGULATED. SO IT DOESN'T CHANGE THAT. IF YOU CARE ABOUT JOBS YOU'RE GOING TO VOTE YES ON THE BILL. IF YOU CARE ABOUT NOT ININCREASING GAS PRICES BEYOND THE $4 WHERE THEY ARE IN MUCH OF THE COUNTRY TODAY, YOU ARE GOING TO VOTE FOR THE BILL. WHICH MEANS YOU OUGHT TO VOTE NO ON THE MOTION TO RECOMMIT AND YES ON FINAL. THE CLEAN AIR ACT REGULATES 188 DIFFERENT POLLUTANTS. H.R. 910 DOESN'T CHANGE ONE OF THOSE. SO PLEASE, MY COLLEAGUES, VOTE NO ON THE MOTION TO RECOMMIT. YES ON FINAL. I YIELD BACK THE BALANCE OF MY TIME. THE GENTLEMAN YIELDS BACK THE BALANCE OF HIS TIME. WITHOUT OBJECTION, THE PREVIOUS QUESTION IS ORDERED ON THE MOTION TO RECOMMIT. THE QUESTION IS ON THE MOTION. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. THOSE OPPOSED, NO. THE NOES HAVE T THE MOTION IS NOT AGREED TO -- HAVE IT. THE MOTION IS NOT AGREED TO. THE GENTLEMAN REQUESTS THE YEAS A RECORDED VOTE IS REQUESTED. AND NAYS. THOSE FAVORING A RECORDED VOTE WILL RISE. A SUFFICIENT NUMBER HAVING ARISEN, A RECORDED VOTE IS ORDERED. MEMBERS WILL RECORD THEIR VOTES BY ELECTRONIC DEVICE. PURSUANT TO CLAUSE 9 OF RULE 20, THE CHAIR WILL REDUCE TO FIVE MINUTES THE MINIMUM TIME FOR ANY ELECTRONIC VOTE ON THE QUESTION OF PASSAGE.
