THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE: THE
GENTLEMAN FROM MASSACHUSETTS,
DO YOU RESERVE YOUR-POUND OF
ORDER?
MR. OLVER: I DO NOT.
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE: THE
GENTLEMAN IS RECOGNIZED.
MR. LATHAM: I'M SORRY ABOUT THE
DELAY HERE BUT --
THE MOTION TO RECOMMIT REALLY
IS --
MR. OLVER: THE HOUSE IS NOT IN
ORDER.
I WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO HEAR
WHAT MAY RANKING MEMBER IS
SAYING.
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE: THE
GENTLEMAN IS RECOGNIZED.
MR. LATHAM: THANK YOU.
THIS MOIGS TO RECOMMIT IS REALLY
QUITE SIMPLE.
IT THE REDUCES THE ACCOUNTS THAT
EXCEED THE LEVELS RECOMMENDED IN
THE BUDGET REQUEST BACK DOWN TO
THE PRESIDENT'S PROPOSED
I'M QUITE CONFIDENT THAT THE
NDING LEVELS PROPOSED BY THE
PRESIDENT ARE SUFFICIENT AND
FRANKLY IF HIGHER LEVELS OF
FUNDING WERE REQUIRED THE BUDGET
REQUESTS WOULD HAVE IDENTIFIED
HIGHER FUNDING LEVELS.
LET ME SAY AGAIN I WOULD BE A
STRONG SUPPORTER IF THIS BILL --
OF THIS BILL IF THE FUNDING
LEVELS WEREN'T SO OUT OF
PROPORTION WITH THE CURRENT
REALITY.
I HOLD A VERY POSITIVE VIEW OF
CHAIRMAN OLVER AND ADMIRE HIS
THOUGHTFUL AND FAIR APPROACH TO
TH BILL.
BUT A 25% INCREASE OVER THE
FUNDING LEVEL OF FISCAL YEAR
2009 IS ABSURD.
ESPECIALLY IN THE CONTEXT OF THE
HUGE SUMS OF FUNDING PROVIDED TO
THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
AND H.U.D. THROUGH THE STIMULUS
BILL.
THIS BILL WOULD FUND THESE
AGENCIES AT $68 BILLION ON TOP
OF THE MORE THAN $61.8 BILLION
THEY RECEIVED THROUGH THE
STIMULUS.
HOW CAN THESE AGENCIES POSSIBLY
SPEND THROUGH THIS FUNDING IN AN
EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVE MANNER?
SO IN RESPONSEO THIS RECKLESS
PATTERN, MY MOTION WOULD REDUCE
THE BILL'S BOTTOM LINE BY
CUTTING ONLY THOSE ACCOUNTS THAT
WERE FUNDED OVER AND ABOVE THE PRESIDENT'S REQUEST.
AND THIS MOTION TO RECOMMIT
SAVES THE U.S. TAXPAYERS $5.4
BILLION.
AND I WOULD ASK FOR SUPPORT FOR
THIS MOTION TO RECOMMIT.
I THINK IN TODAY'S FISCAL
CLIMATE IT IS TOTALLY
APPROPRIATAND IS SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD DO.
THIS IS ABOUT OUR KIDS AND
GRANDCHILDREN IN THE FUTURE AND JUST TO BRING IT BACK TO THE
PRESIDENT'S REQUEST, I DON'T
THINK IS SOMETHING THAT'S TOO
MUCH TO ASK FROM ANYONE AND I
YIELD BACK.
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE: THE
GENTLEMAN YIELDS BACK THE BALANCE OF HIS TIME.
THE GENTLEMAN FROM MASSACHUSETTS
IS RECOGNIZED FOR FIVE MINUTES.
OH, FORGIVE ME.
DOES THE GENTLEMAN RISE IN
OPPOSITION?
OL MR. SPEAKER, I RISE IN
OPPOSITION -- OLOL MR. SPEAKER,
I RISE IN --
MR. OLVER: MR. SPEAKER, I RISE
IN OPPOSITION TO THE MOTION.
I THINK IT'S QUITE EYE RON TAKE
THE AMENDMENT THAT'S BEING
OFFERED IS ONE TO REDUCE THE
FUNDING AND CONFORM THE FUNDING
TO THE PRESIDENT'S REQUEST.
BUT IT'S EXACTLY WHAT THE
MINORITY, NOW MINORITY, HAS DONE
YEAR AFTER YEAR IN
RUBBERSTAMPING THE PRESIDENT'S
POSITION.
THAT'S WHAT'S SORONIC ABOUT
IT.
WE ON THE OTHER HAND HAVE TAKEN
AN INDEPENDENT VIEW WITH A VERY
GOOD SUBCOMMITTEE, WITH SOME
MEMBERS ON THE MINORITY SIDE WHO
HAVE TAKEN, WHO HAVE JOINED US
ON SOME OF THIS AND IN FACT HAVE
TAKEN A POSITION IN SUB STANGS
-- SUBSTANTIALLY IN SUPPORT OF
THE IDEA WHICH IS AT THE CORE OF
THIS LEGISLATION IS THAT WE ARE
DOING SOMETHING MORE FOR
VULNERABLE POPULATIONS.
VIRTUALLY EVERYTHING THAT HAS
BEEN REMOVED IN REDUCTIONS FROM
THIS BILL IS IN THOSE THINGS BUT
NOT ALL OF THEM, VIRTUALLY ALL,
IN THE AREA OF ASSISTANCE FOR
VULNERABLE POPULATIONS.
LET ME JUST DOWN THE LIST.
WE HAVE SECTION 8, TENANT-BASED
HOUSING.
AND SECTION 8 PROJECT-BASED
HOUSING, A TOTAL OF $798 MILLION
REDUCTION.
ALL OF THEM BACK TO THE
PRESIDENT'S REQUESTS, BUT THE
NEEDS GET GREATER AS WE -- FROM
WHEN THE REQUESTS WERE MADE
BECAUSE OF WHAT HAS HAPPEN --
WHAT IS HAPPENING, BECAUSE THERE
ARE MORE HOMELESS, BECAUSE THERE
ARE MORE PEOPLE OUT OF WORK THAN
THERE WERE AT THE TIME THAT THE
REQUEST WAS MADE.
IN ALL GOOD FAITH.
THE NATIVE AMERICAN BLOCK GRANT,
FOR THE POOREST OF THE POOR IS
REDUCED BY $105 MILLION.
ELDER HOUSING, WHICH WE HAD
HOUSING FOR DISABLED PEOPLE,
W
MILLION, AND BY THE WAY, ALL OF
THIS WAS TAKEN THROUGH THE FULL
APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE AND
APPROVED BY THE APPROPRIATIONS
COMMITTEE AND SENT TO THE FLOOR.
HOMELESS ASSISTANCE HAS BEEN
REDUCED BY $56 MILLION.
PUBLIC HOUSING OPERATING FUND
HAS BEEN REDUCED BY $200
MILLION, PUBLIC HOUSING
AUTHORITIES, CAPITAL FUND
REDUCED BY $256 MILLION, THE HOUSING FOR PEOPLE WITH AIDS,
ARE HE HE DEUCED BY $40 MILLION
-- REDUCED BY $40 MILLION, THE
AFFORDABLE HOUSING, RENTAL
HOUSING AS WELL AS FIRST TIME
HOME OWNERSHIP IS REDUCED BY
$175 MILLION.
ALL OF THESE, ALL OF THESE TO
CONFORM WITH THE NUMBER OF THE
PRESIDENT.
OUR COMMITTEE AND OUR MEMBERS
VULNERABLE POPULATIONS NEED A
LITTLE BIT MORE INTO THE
CIRCUMSTANCES THAT WE ARE
DEALING WITH AT THE PRESENT TIME
AND SO WE PUT IT IN.
AND THAT'S THE WAY WE HAVE VOTED
TODAY.
NOW BEYOND THAT, BEYOND THAT WE
HAVE --
>> MR. SPEAKER, THE HOUSE IS NOT
IN ORDER.
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE: THE
GENTLEMAN FR
RECOGNIZED.
MR. OLVER: BEYOND THAT WE HAVE
HAD A STRONG VOTE ON THE ISSUE
OF HIGH SPEED RAIL AND THE ITEMS
RELATED TO IT, A VOTE WHICH WAS
EARLIER
AMENDMENT TO STRIKE.
THE VERY THING THAT'S BACKING
THIS MOTION, TO 284 AGAINST,
INCLUDING 40 MEMBERS FROM THE
MINORITY SIDE.
WHO VOTED WITH THE MAJORITY ON
AND BEYOND THAT WE HAVE THE
AMENDMENT WHICH REDUCES THE
F.A.'S SAFETY POSITIONS IN TWO
DIFFERENT AREAS.
ONE BY REMOVING 150 AVIATION
INSPECTORS WHICH WE WENT
THE PRESIDENT'S REQUEST, I THINK
QUITE LEGITIMATELY, FOR AVIATION
SAFETY AND ALSO FOR 35
ADDITIONAL PEOPLE THAT WE PUT IN
FOR RAIL SAFETY.
WE'VE HAD SOME RAIL PROBLEMS, WE
BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE PROBLEMS
TH NEEDED TO BE DEALT WITH.
SO ALL OF THOSE THINGS HAVE BEEN
DONE.
I THINK WE SHOULD KEEP EXACTLY
WHERE WE HAVE DONE THE VOTE
BEFORE AND REJECT THIS MOTION TO
RECOMMIT.
AND I YIELD TIME TO THE
GENTLEMAN FROM WISCONSIN.
MR. OBEY: I THANK THE GENTLEMAN
FOR YIELDING.
I WOULD URGE A NO VOTE ON THIS AND I SIMPLY THINK THAT WE'RE
ENTITLED TO ASK ONE QUESTION.
WHY ON EARTH, IF WE'RE SUPPOSED
TO TAKE THIS MOTION SERIOUSLY,
WERE WE REQUESTED TO LISTEN
THROUGH THE READING OF A 55-PAGE
AMENDMENT, WITNESS IT BEING
WITHDRAWN AND THEN HAVE THEM
INTRODUCE AN AMENDMENT WHICH IS
VIRTUALLY TH
IDENTICAL FORM?
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE: THE
GENTLEMAN'S TIME HAS EXPIRED.
WITHOUT OBJECTION, THE PREVIOUS
QUESTI IS ORDERED ON THE MOTION TO RECOMMIT.
THE QUESTION IS ON THE MOTION TO
RECOMMIT.
THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
THOSE OPPOSED, NO.
THE NOES HAVE IT.
THE GENTLEMAN FROM IOWA. MR
MR. LATHAM: I DEMAND THE YEAS
AND NAYS.
THE SPEAKE
YEAS AND NAYS ARE REQUESTED.
THOSE FAVOR A VOTE BY E YEAS AND NAYS WILL RISE.
A SUFFICIENT NUMBER HAVING
ARISEN, THE YEAS AND NAYS ARE
ORDERED.
MEMBERS WILL RECORD THEIR VOTES
BY ELECTRONIC DEVICE.
PURSUANT TO CLAUSE 9 OF RULE0THE
CHAIR WILL REDUCE TO FIVE
